Chapter 1001: Put yourself to death and survive

People are restless and anxious all day long, waiting for the outcome of this army. Many people are not particularly optimistic about this, and they have made their own choices with their actual actions.

The guards came in and out, reporting to Wu Yi what was going on outside. The gang leaders watched eagerly, not daring to say a word. At this moment, information is the most important. Whoever has the information will have the initiative.

Among them, several people got impatient and started to resist again. Wu Yi naturally shot them on the spot, just like crushing ants to death, without blinking an eyelid.

The cold tactics once again shocked them into silence.

It was just that they were confined to the tent for several days in a row. Although they had constant meals, they still couldn't avoid the physiological needs, all kinds of smells, and mosquitoes and flies flying around.

Wu Yi ordered all ministries to report the number of people on a regular basis. As time went by, only a dozen people fled at first, and then there were hundreds of people leaving. By the final count before the war, about 30% of the people had been dispersed, and the already stretched soldiers were even rarer.

The absence of these people is not a bad thing for Wu Yi. At least it will be able to purge a wave of military factions. After all, most of the people who escaped have close relations with a group of bandit leaders and are worried about being purged by Wu Yi. Leave to save your life.

The departure of these thousands of people did not completely defect to the northern tribes. Most of them chose to flee the battlefield, and the news brought by a small number of traitors was enough to expose Wu Yi's current position and the current situation in the army.

In order to avoid liability, these people who fled wantonly spread the news of Wu Yi's defeat along the way. They implicated Wu Yi a lot afterwards, but it is not worth mentioning at the moment.

When the Rinan defenders learned of Wu Yi's location, they would definitely send heavy troops to encircle and suppress him. Under such a situation, Wu Yi could not move out without permission. Changing his position would make him a difficult target to move.

Therefore, according to the news sent back by the guards, there are more and more informants near the military camp, and the situation is getting more and more serious.

Wu Yi sat in the center, frightening these bandit leaders with different ideas and making it difficult to leave. As for the order, it was still spread without hindrance. How to dispatch, how to drive, without these bandit leaders, it will actually be smoother.

It's just that there is a lack of time to adjust. Facing the heavily encircled and suppressed Rinan army, is there really a chance of winning? Wu Yi himself didn't know the answer to this. At this moment, he could only give it a try and survive.

Wu Yi naturally made many preparations to choose this time and location to break up the contradictions in the army. I dare not say that it is complete, but it is not so simple for the Rinan defenders to win so easily.

The current location where the garrison is located is densely wooded, with a terrain similar to Hulukou in front of them. To reach it, the Rinan defenders must pass through an extremely narrow passage, but if Wu Yi wants to retreat, there are plenty of roads.

However, it is not difficult to imagine that the opponent will definitely choose to attack from behind. This is military common sense. If the opponent has no awareness of this, it is impossible to achieve so many results.

In response, Wu Yi deployed heavy troops behind him, preparing for a mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind him.

After this order was issued, Wu Yi ordered all ministers to shoot any deserters without spreading the news.

Wu Yi's own camp has almost become an empty shell, with only a small number of troops.

Looking at the swaying candlelight and the endless sound of drums, in fact, they are all hanging on the ground, inhumane, and the deserted and desolate camp is waiting for the other party to pounce on them and catch turtles in an urn.

Empty city strategy? No, the military camp is not empty. Wu Yi can hold the Huluzui in front with only a very small number of troops.

With strong bows and crossbows, Wu Yi laid out many traps like rocks and rolling trees. If he persisted for a day or two, it would not be a problem. He would wait for the main force to defeat the enemy coming from behind, and then catch the turtle in the jar.

The strategy is like this. At this moment, we don’t know how many enemies will come. Should we choose to avoid most of them? Or choose a frontal attack, supplemented by a backstab. If it's the former, Wu Yi may suffer a disastrous defeat, and his death may not be certain.

In addition, the most critical issue is that no matter how good the strategy is, it is only people who execute it. It is really hard to say how effective the execution will be.

But now that the army is setting off and Wu Yi is guarding the empty camp, there is no use worrying anymore!

Tianlang City is nearby, but the Wolf Smoke Mouth is hundreds of miles away. Therefore, even before Zhang Tianwen's messenger arrived, the flag of the Rinan Clan's defenders was already in sight!

Wu Yi had attacked them in the dark before. Although the damage was not big, at best some of the supplies were lost and burned.

However, this Tianlang City's material capital was abundant, and even after it was burned down, they still had some leftovers. They didn't have to worry about losing something they got for free, but it only inspired their ambition to continue to plunder.

They obviously have not forgotten the humiliation that Wu Yi brought them before. At this moment, the Rinan tribe defenders want to save their face. The flags cover the sky, and the smoke and dust rolled up by the war horses are huge and unknown.

At the beginning of the war, they launched a fierce attack. Arrows fell like rain, causing injuries and death. If it were not for the obstruction of the terrain, it would not be possible to form an arrow formation. With the hundreds of arrows left by Wu Yi, less than one Thousands of people, if only a few of them fight, the entire army will be annihilated.

After a strategic retreat, he led the enemy's large forces into the mouth of the gourd, and then rolled rocks and fell trees to greet them, beating the opponent to the point where they were knocked over and dripping with blood! As a last resort, they had to evacuate Hulukou.

"Report——, our army intercepted the enemy at the mountain pass and repelled the first wave of the enemy's offensive!" After the war started, Wu Yi did not continue to hide the thoughts of these bandit leaders and asked the guards to loudly announce the situation of the battle.

However, after hearing the news, these bandit leaders had different expressions, and most of them were not good-looking! Enemy army, who is the enemy army? There is no doubt that it was the Rinan defenders who saw problems within them and launched a massive attack.

It's ridiculous. They have already started a war and they still have to stay here. Wu Yi has actually deprived them of their battlefield command rights. Now, they have really become fish on the chopping board.

Many bandit leaders regretted that they had underestimated Wu Yi, thinking that there were many people, so they rushed in carelessly, but were manipulated by Wu Yi to death.

But, what's the use of regretting it now? They could only helplessly hear a mixed message. At this moment, no matter how much they resented Wu Yi, they still hoped that Wu Yi would win. After all, if Wu Yi lost, they would not even have a chance to defect before the war.

However, the development of things seemed to be very different from their hopes. Wu Yi's side seemed to be in a one-sided defeat!

"Report——, the enemy launches a second wave of offensive!"

"Report——, the enemy is attacking our position!"

"Report——, the first line of defense has been lost!"

…

These bandit leaders turned bad one by one after hearing the news, and their faces became more and more serious. Later, they even asked Wu Yi for a fight!
