Zhao Yang felt extremely relieved after hearing Li Ran's promise.
So, he immediately raised his hands to Li Ran and saluted:
"With the words of sir, Yang Yang will feel relieved. In this case... everyone in the camp depends on sir!"
Therefore, Zhao Yang left five thousand men and horses with Li Ran, and Zhao Yang took all the rest with him to intercept Handa of Zheng State.
But Li Ran and Fan Li were not idle either.
Li Ran ordered the soldiers besieging the city, but instead of intending to retreat, he ordered them to deepen the siege of Chaoge.
Fan Li couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this situation:
"Now that we are tight on manpower, why don't you retreat but advance instead of retreating?"
Li Ran couldn't help but smile and said:
"Haha, what is imaginary is what is real, what is real is imaginary. How could the young uncle not see through this layer? How can it be done comprehensively with just these current manpower?"
"What's more, I think that Zhong Xingyin has become a frightened bird now. Since he knows how powerful I, Li Ran, he will never dare to do anything."
When Fan Li heard this, he knew that although Li Ran was speaking lightly, there was no doubt that this was another dangerous move by Li Ran.
Just like in Qi State, Li Ran was once again determined to defeat the world with his own body.
…
As expected, the army led by Zhao Yang unexpectedly encountered the Qi and Zheng coalition forces. Seeing the large number of Qi and Zheng coalition forces, this made Zhao's army even less confident.
Zhao Yang made a prompt decision and decided to take command in person.
At this time, Kuai Chi, who was on the side, had doubts and said:
"The general's move is too risky. There are so many enemies. The general only needs to sit back!"
Zhao Yang shook his head and said:
"The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. Now the soldiers are all afraid. If I can't take the lead, how can I win this battle? It's okay. I have been through countless battles, big and small, without incident. How can anything happen today?"
After hearing this, Kuai Chi could only say:
"Then... I would like to be on the right side of the chariot and protect the general!"
You Wujie said:
"The last general is willing to drive for the Lord!"
When Zhao Yang saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Good! Very good!"
The next day, Zhao Yang came to the battle in person. It is driven by You Wuxie, with Kuai Kuai as the driver.
As soon as I got on the chariot, I saw the Qi and Zheng coalition troops on the opposite side arrayed neatly, gracefully and continuously like the scales of a long dragon. Listening to the Leilei of the war drum, Kuai Chi was so fascinated that he stumbled and fell directly from the chariot.
When everyone saw this, they didn't dare to say a word, but only Wan Wuxie couldn't help laughing, jumped out of the chariot, helped Kuai Kuai up, and said:
"Sure enough, he is just a little boy who defends his country. He is used to being pampered and pampered, but he is so timid, just like a woman!"
When Kuai Chi heard this, he instinctively pushed You Wuxie away.
"I...I just stepped on the ground, not because I was afraid!"
You Wuxie said with a half-smile:
"Haha, I hope so. When the fight starts later, don't fall down again. Otherwise, you will either be stabbed to death by random spears or trampled to death by random horses!"
Kuai Kuai snorted coldly and got back on the carriage. Zhao Yang looked at this scene and didn't know what to say for a moment. He simply said nothing. Kuai Kuai was ashamed and angry, and he was holding a breath in his heart.
Zhao Yang stood on the chariot, holding the shaft of the chariot, inspecting the military columns.
When he inspected Wenyi's army, he did not see Zhao Luo, Wenyi's doctor. He immediately asked sharply:
"Where is Zhao Luo?!"
At this time, Fan Yu, who was on the right side of Zhao Luo's chariot, walked out carelessly. After bowing, he pointed towards the chariot he was driving.
But seeing Zhao Luo being tied up in the car by Fan Yu, he was shaking his head for a while, as if he was struggling.
When Zhao Yang saw this, he understood it well. He knew that Zhao Luo Luo, the Wenyi doctor, was not brave and would definitely run away again, so he was tied to the chariot by his right chariot to stabilize the morale of the army.
Zhao Yang could not help but narrow his eyes and asked coldly:
"Fan Yu, Doctor Wen, why is this happening?"
Fanyu replied:
"This morning, your Excellency suffered a sudden attack of malaria. He was shaking all over and could hardly stand. But Your Excellency had to come, so I ordered him to be tied to the chariot with a rope to show his bravery!"
You Wujie felt that something was wrong, and was about to step forward to question him, but was caught by Zhao Yang and said:
"That's it. Fan Yu just concentrates on killing the enemy! Although your lord is sick, he can still not retreat in the face of battle. It's really commendable!"
Zhao Yang signaled You Wujie to continue his inspection. You Wujie drove away and muttered:
"General, this Doctor Wen Zhao Luo..."
Zhao Yang said in a deep voice:
"I know, General, that this is Zhao Luo's illness. He is just afraid. But now that the war is imminent, how can it affect morale? Fan Yu's move is indeed clever. How can we not cooperate with him?"
Hearing this, You Wuxie couldn't help but say:
"It turns out that my lord has already figured out the mystery, but my subordinates are overly worried!"
After Zhao Yang made a tour, he returned to the center and said loudly:
"In the past, Duke Xian of Jin's chariot had ten thousand chariots. It was just a man, but he was able to win in seven battles, and then he was rewarded with hundreds of horses, and he died well at home. All officers and men should also encourage him! If you win today, you will not die. And if you achieve something, it will be a good life for you from now on!"
"To defeat the enemy, the superior officials will take charge of the county, and the subordinate officials will take charge of the county. There will be a hundred thousand scholar fields, common people, workers, and merchants, and ministers, officials, and hordes will be exempted!"
As soon as these words came out, the morale of all the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they shouted that they would win. The momentum was huge.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yang pulled out his sword and shouted:
"Commanders! Follow me and fight bravely to kill the enemy!"
And when Zhao Yang was training his troops, Kuai Chi saw the densely packed enemy troops on the opposite side and knew that the outcome of this battle was unpredictable, so he couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart:
"The great-grandson Kuai Chi petitioned the emperor Wen Wang, Liezu Kang Shu, and Wen Zu Xianggong: Zheng Guo followed Qi State to cause trouble in the world, and the Marquis of Jin was in trouble and could not control the trouble, so let Zhao Yang deal with it on his behalf. Kuai Chi did not dare to spare his life, so he acted as Rong You holding a spear. Regardless of whether this battle is life or death, I hope God will bless my hands and feet, my bones will not be broken, and my face will not be damaged. I hope God will bless me to achieve great achievements in this battle, and not let the emperor, Liezu, and Wenzu remain in the sky. Ashamed. As long as you realize the expectations mentioned above, it is enough. You don’t dare to be greedy for God to bless you and you will not die, and you don’t dare to begrudge your jade and not dedicate it to the gods.”
After Kuai Kai finished reciting silently, he saw that Zhao Yang's eyes were extremely firm and determined, and he secretly made up his mind!
Following Zhao Yang's order, the chariots charged towards the Qi and Zheng coalition forces. The Qi and Zheng coalition forces were well prepared to fight back with their chariots. At the same time, arrows rained down from both sides, blocking out the sky and heading straight towards the opponent's army. The right side of the chariot Kuai Chi saw this and hurriedly raised his shield to block the incoming arrow.
After the rain of arrows, there was another close combat, and the sound of the chariot rolling could be heard endlessly. Fortunately, You Wujie's chariot was very skilled and he didn't collide with the enemy's chariot once he drove it.
Zhao Yang, on the other hand, stood firmly on the chariot, holding a halberd, killing the enemy like mowing grass.
Zhao Yang's leading the charge also greatly boosted the morale of Zhao's army. In addition, being in the battle formation, his eyes seemed to be bloodshot, shouting loudly, weapons clashing, screams, shouts of death, drums beating, Mixed together, everyone on the battlefield forgets life and death.
The Qi and Zheng coalition forces had no intention of retreating for a while, and the two sides became anxious and stalemate.
At this moment, just as Zhao Yang was killing the enemy, a cold arrow suddenly shot from nowhere and hit his shoulder.
The arrow came so fiercely that Kuai Kuai had no time to react.
Hearing Zhao Yang's "click" sound, the arrow went straight into his bones, and he fell directly onto the chariot. Kuai Chi hurriedly used his shield to block Zhao Yang's whole body.
Zhao Yang's face turned pale in pain, and even his lips were bloodless. He broke out in a cold sweat. Kuai Kuai hurriedly said:
"General! General!"
Although Zhao Yang was only hit by an arrow in his shoulder, it penetrated directly into his bones. It was so serious that he was speechless for a moment.
