Chapter 48 Liu Zheng, who defeated the Mongolian army

As darkness gradually fell.

The three parties, who had agreed beforehand, all began to take action.

Perhaps the army has resumed its march.

Having conserved their energy, they began their journey with full speed ahead.

The garrison in Xiangyang quietly slipped out of the city under cover of night.

They lay in ambush several miles outside the Yuan-Mongol army camp, ready for battle.

In the past, their actions would have certainly been discovered.

But with Liu Zheng's cooperation.

They managed to evade the Mongol army and leave the city with remarkable ease.

Meanwhile, in the Mongol army camp...

Because of the deaths of many commanders, Liu Zheng ordered the troops in the camp to be transferred to the north and south.

It was said to be in case the Wu Kingdom launched another attack.

Meanwhile, his own elite Han soldiers, who had surrendered to the Mongols with him, were stationed in the center.

With such a layout, if attacked, the north and south sides would only be able to rely on the central forces for support.

Liu Zheng, who had already been turned against his side, would naturally not go to rescue the Mongol soldiers.

Later, Liu Zheng, citing the need to prevent the warhorses from being attacked and out of control again, placed all the horses in the camp under his central command's protection.

This drastic move effectively sealed the fate of the Mongol army.

……

It was midnight.

When the Wu Kingdom's army was under the command of Cheng Lei and Xue Gang.

They broke through the Yuan army's camp gates like wolves and tigers and launched an attack on the Yuan army.

Because of Liu Zheng's special arrangement.

Without a high-ranking commander, the Mongol army was in complete chaos.

The Mongol army in the southern camp was swiftly and decisively defeated by the well-prepared Wu Kingdom army in the darkness.

As various newly developed firearms revealed their fangs on the battlefield.

Lacking a strong commander, the camp's defensive fortifications were destroyed by the fire that burned down last night, killing tens of thousands of Mongol troops in the southern camp.

They were completely unable to mount any effective counterattack.

Whenever the Yuan army wanted to launch a counterattack.

The newly assembled troops would then be met with an attack of countless gunpowder arrows.

The scattered gunpowder balls and iron fragments could severely injure dozens of Yuan-Mongol soldiers with each explosion.

The heavily armored infantry in the Mongol army received even higher-grade explosive charges.

It was completed by Lu Xiufu and Xue Gang, who mobilized the entire nation's resources to expedite the construction.

The supplies brought by the Wu Kingdom army this time are sufficient to support several high-intensity battles.

The Mongol army in the south, whose warhorses were under strict control, was completely annihilated before they could even force the Wu Kingdom to use its ballistae.

The Mongol army to the north, without Liu Zheng's orders, dared not attempt a rescue.

Soldiers from the southern camp who came seeking reinforcements kept sending urgent reports to Deputy Commander Liu Zheng, requesting support.

However, what awaited them was not reinforcements, but sharp long knives.

The soldiers who came to deliver the rescue message all died under Liu Zheng's butcher's knife.

This left the centurions who had sent out the distress call completely bewildered.

Lacking internal reinforcements and without any unified command, they were attacked at night by a force several times larger than that of the Wu Kingdom's soldiers.

They held out for less than an hour before being completely annihilated by the Wu army.

The camp, with nearly 100,000 people, was enormous.

The Mongol soldiers in the north were completely unaware of the situation in the south.

At this point, although they knew that the southern camp had been attacked, some of the shrewd centurions even had their suspicions.

Unfortunately, due to their low rank and lack of solid evidence, they could not gain the trust of the Mongol army in the Northern Camp.

During this time, some of them came to Liu Zheng, hoping to retrieve their warhorses to arm themselves.

However, Liu Zheng declined the offer, arguing that the situation was not critical and that the troops from the south could resolve it.

When the Southern Camp was completely wiped out.

The outcome of this battle is no longer in doubt.

When the Han soldiers under the command of Liu Zheng, the commander of the Central Army, appeared in front of the Mongol army in the Northern Camp together with the Wu Kingdom's army.

The Yuan-Mongol soldiers in the Northern Camp only then seemed to awaken from their daze.

However, the huge disparity in troop strength, and the Xiangyang army that had already bypassed them and launched a simultaneous attack, meant that they were able to launch a coordinated attack.

This directly extinguished their last hope of turning the tide and escaping.

Amidst the cries of hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers surrendering and being spared.

The remnants of the Mongol army on the northern route, suffering heavy casualties, ultimately chose to surrender in order to survive.

The battle outside Xiangyang City came to a complete end at this moment.

At the same time, the system's settlement notification sounded in Mo Fei's mind.

"Congratulations, host, for annihilating the main force of the Mongol army."

You have completed option two: annihilate the main force of the Yuan-Mongol invasion.

"If you choose to settle now, the system will reward you with 30 Counterattack Points and you will also receive an extra chance to win a martial arts skill from the villains of the heavens."

"No settlement!"

Those who already had a plan would naturally not choose to settle now.

He coveted Zhang Junbao's Tai Chi martial arts and lucky aura.

Now that he has completed ninety miles of the hundred-mile journey, he naturally wants to maximize his gains.

……

When Mo Fei returned to Xiangyang City, he stood atop the tall city tower.

Looking at this ancient northern town, scarred by countless battles, with its walls riddled with sword marks and arrow holes, and its battlements and watchtowers in ruins.

Mo Fei felt a surge of heartfelt admiration for the soldiers and generals defending Xiangyang.

The general, clad in golden armor after a hundred battles, wields his three-foot-long sword amidst the yellow sands.

They only understand dying for their country on the battlefield; why should they need to be wrapped in horsehide to return home?

At this moment, the elite soldiers of Xiangyang were bringing the Yuan Mongol prisoners into the city.

The soldiers, their faces cracked and their hands bluish-purple from the cold wind, appeared incredibly tall in Mo Fei's eyes.
