Chapter 157 Black Clothes in Barbarian King City!
"Back to Your Highness, King Huai's army is camped seventy miles north of King Man's City, preparing to attack the main force of the Southern Barbarians!"
"Where are the three princes?"
"The army of Duke Zhen Guo has arrived at the flank of King Huai. The one hundred thousand soldiers and horses of Duke Ping and Duke Yue are still more than ten miles away from King Huai. They can arrive tomorrow!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said softly: "What's going on with Prince Huai?"
"Your Highness, King Huai is not preparing to fight the Southern Barbarians. When the main force of the Southern Barbarians comes, he will retreat ten miles!"
"Hmph, I know that this old fox, Prince Huai, will never fight with the Southern Barbarians!"
A sneer appeared on Ning Fan's face, and he said softly: "Let Wu You go to King Huai's camp tonight to attack the camp, and let our people take advantage of the chaos to take action and find a way to draw out the hatred!"
"My lord, King Huai's adopted son will accompany the army, do you want to..."
"Don't show off your flaws!"
"Submonish the three princes. The movement in Huainan has already started. The time is almost right and we can withdraw our troops!"
"Now is not the time to fight with the Nanman!"
"promise!"
After the man in black strode away, Ning Fan's face fell into deep thought. Now the goal of weakening the Southern Barbarians had been achieved. The three thousand riders brought out by Ning Fan alone wiped out tens of thousands of the Southern Barbarians' population!
As for the three main armies, they marched all the way south, leaving no chickens or dogs behind wherever they passed!
Now the Southern Barbarians have integrated 400,000 soldiers and horses. The grassland has just experienced a drought, and now it is hit by heavy snow, and the food is almost exhausted!
As long as this war can be delayed, Dayu will definitely win!
There is no need to fight with them on the grassland. The main force of the Southern Barbarians has now been lured out of the royal city, and the ghost army under Ning Fan has quietly circled to the side of the Southern Barbarian royal city!
Just waiting for a good opportunity, he can attack the royal city by surprise and achieve great success in one fell swoop!
It can be said that the goal of this southern expedition has been achieved. Next, Huainan will be the highlight!
"Lord!"
While Ning Fan was pondering, he saw Yue Fei and others walking into the tent.
"Everyone, sit down!"
"Lord, our spies have been sent out. Now that the main army of the Southern Barbarians is out, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left in the Southern Barbarian King's City. If we attack the city rashly, the more than 10,000 people under our command will probably..."
Qin Qiong expressed her worries and looked at Ning Fan.
"Not in a hurry!"
"Just wait for the opportunity!"
"Um?"
Yue Fei also cast his eyes towards Ning Fan. Looking at the indifferent expression on his lord's face, he knew that he had a backup plan.
"Report, there is a person coming from outside the camp, holding a talisman from King Xuan Yong's palace, and he has come to ask for a meeting!"
"That man was dressed in barbarian attire..."
After the guard reported, Ning Fan had a smile on his face and said softly: "Let him in!"
"yes!"
Not long after, a slender young man in barbarian attire strode into the tent and bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness!"
"How's it going?"
"The main army of the Southern Barbarians has left the city. The Barbarian Emperor is marching in person, and almost all the princes of the tribes are accompanying him!"
"Now there are 30,000 fine armors left in the city of the Man King. They are the Man King's personal troops. The armor is excellent and they have experienced hundreds of battles. They are a powerful force!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, Ning Fan's face showed a look of concentration. After pondering for a long time, he said softly: "How are our people prepared?"
"Go back to Your Highness, we have people in the North City Gate, the Royal Palace, and the army, and we can control the North City Gate!"
"hiss!"
Yue Fei and Qin Qiong looked at each other with a look of shock on their faces. They didn't expect that His Highness's back-up force was even in Manhuang City.
If the city gate can be opened, there may not be no chance!
A trace of thought appeared on Ning Fan's face. He pondered for a long time and said softly: "At midnight tonight, I will send people to assassinate the generals in the city and create chaos in the mansions of major officials in the ancient Nanman Kingdom!"
"When it's ugly, send someone to open the north city gate and use the three fires on the tower as a signal!"
"promise!"
After the Black Ice Platform secret agent left, Ning Fan's face showed a trace of thought, and Yue Fei said softly: "My lord, even if we can open the North City Gate, with our military strength, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? We also have more than ten thousand cavalry under our command!"
A look of pride appeared on Dian Wei's face. Yue Fei shook his head slightly and said, "Except for the three thousand cavalry we brought out, the more than ten thousand cavalry under our command are all slaves rescued from various tribes!"
"The quality of their soldiers is far inferior to that of ordinary soldiers, let alone the elites in the Southern Barbarian King's City!"
Hearing Yue Fei's words, Qin Qiong nodded in agreement, and Ning Fan said softly: "What Peng Ju said is true. The more than 10,000 cavalry under our command can exert a maximum combat power of 7,000 people!"
"This attack on Man King City can only be outsmarted, not defeated!"
"My lord, do you have other plans?"
Ning Fan nodded with a smile, walked to the map hanging on the wall, and said softly: "What if there is one of our internal agents in the city?"
"Um?"
Yue Fei and Qin Qiong both looked stunned, with a glint in their eyes: "How many people are there?"
Ning Fan smiled and shook his head, and said softly: "I don't know either, but it should be enough!"
…
Night falls quietly. As the capital of an ancient country, Manwang City, although its prosperity cannot be compared with that of Dayu, is still somewhat of a prosperous age!
The sky had just darkened, and the military camps in the Man King's City were mainly composed of four gates, with wisps of smoke rising slowly.
Many figures in the camp began to move around, as if they had the same tacit understanding.
"Let's get started!"
A group of people gathered together, and the leader distributed bags of food additives to everyone, and then dispersed in an instant!
Half an hour later, dozens of people met again, nodded to each other, and then dispersed!
Haolian Palace!
As one of the largest tribes in the South Barbarians, Duke Haolian has great prestige in the court, and his mansion is also located in the most prosperous place!
On weekdays, the nobles of the Haolian tribe live in the palace and participate in government affairs!
In the hall!
A young man sat at the top, with several black clothes standing beside him, releasing a faint murderous aura!
"Everyone, there is a letter from the other side!"
"At midnight tonight, the north gate will be opened, and our Dayu cavalry will enter from the north gate!"
"The army has already started to take action now!"
Aguna's eyes swept around, and he slowly stood up and said: "What they mean is that my identity cannot be exposed, and the north gate will be handed over to you!"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency!"
"The city gate will be handed over to us!"
"Your Highness has ordered to set fire to the palace tonight and create chaos in the mansions of the major princes!"
"We are short of manpower at the Black Ice Platform, and I am afraid that Your Excellency will have to send someone to help!"
"Yes!"
The man in black nodded slightly and said softly: "Leave it to us!"
"I have a group of death warriors under my command, about a thousand people, this is all the strength I can use now, and I will hand it over to you!"
"Thank you!"
