Mengchang, who was far away on the other side of the Hong River, could clearly hear Di Xin's loud voice, which shocked him to the point of feeling helpless.
You are the king, why are you shouting, are you afraid that others will not see you? Do you have to make it more difficult for yourself?
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, various orders were heard coming from Tooyi's army.
"The general has an order. Whoever kills the King of Shang will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and he will be able to establish a clan and worship the general!"
"King Shang!! King Di Xin of Shang is here!! Brothers, the one wearing white armor is Di Xin. The glory and wealth are right in front of you, follow me to kill!!"
Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Killing Di Xin is not only an honor, but also directly allowed by each tribe to open a separate clan and become a new noble lord. Just in case, just in case that last arrow, Or did he kill himself with the last shot?
The eyes of the Tooyi people in the second formation instantly turned red. They were as scared as tigers when they looked at the white-armored man before, as if they were looking at an evil ghost fighting their way out of the mountain of swords and the sea of fire. But now, there is no fear at all. This is not an evil ghost. , this is a beauty, a golden mountain, and a huge wealth! !
"Kill! Kill Di Xin, kill King Shang!"
Faced with the overwhelming enemy force, Emperor Xin refused to retreat but advanced. His fighting spirit was even higher. With his energy and blood surging, the brilliant human king energy was like a Saiyan transforming, causing the gravel on the ground to fly. The strong pressure caused Yin Jiao behind him to be blown away. If Ji Youyu hadn't grabbed him and flipped onto the jade unicorn, Yin Jiao would have been trampled to pieces by the iron hooves of the cavalry following him.
Meng Chang looked at it from a distance, his eyes a little confused. Although the king's blood was high, it was far from reaching this situation. This was not his own strength.
It's just that he doesn't know enough to distinguish something similar to qi. It's not a Taoist magic, nor is it the use of blood and qi. It's different from any kind of power he has seen before. However, the effect is very powerful, somewhat similar to the aura of Overlord.
Di Xin charged, and everyone in his path was frightened. The timid ones even vomited out gall water on the spot and fell off their horses. The arrows that shot through the air were also bounced away by the intoxicating aura.
Therefore, the military struggle in this era is very interesting. We cannot say that large armies are useless, because one person is isolated and hundreds of people are weak. A densely populated area with more than ten thousand people cannot be summarized simply by people. As long as there is a targeted plan, human creation The power is infinite. After all, this is how the human race in ancient times came out of the barbaric world using stones and sticks to fight their way out.
Xu Mu, the leader of the Birds, was furious. He pulled out his bronze sword and cut the palm of his hand, and then muttered something: "The sky is in the water and the water is deep. It is said that there is a god who harms the way of heaven in order to repair the spiritual platform. God has decreed that all spirits will help me!!"
Under the blue sky and the white sun, the stars in the sky seemed to reflect each other in the distance, and the starlight reflected the sun. The twinkling brilliance attached to the blood spots, gradually turning into hundreds of blue and white starlight warriors, charging up against the flow of people.
Emperor Xin has seen this method more than once. In ancient times, the power of the Star Spirit of the Emperor Shaohao was indeed powerful, but it also depended on who was using it. At least the young boy opposite was not qualified. If a concentrated attack struck, He might still put in some effort, but the method of spreading stars all over the sky is as ridiculous as scratching an itch.
The king looked relaxed, and with one halberd and a starlight warrior, when he was ready to kill, he rushed into the enemy formation alone and drove Wushuang, which was a pain to Wu Gan, Zhong Xi and others behind him. He did not save the power of water and fire, and called out The roaring flames and the sound of rushing water filled the battlefield. The eight hundred war-patterned soldiers were so exhausted that they were sweating and could not keep up with their king.
There is only one person, evil comes!
This is also a strange character. If the king is fast, he will be fast. If the king is slow, he will be slow. No matter how Di Xin tries to change the rhythm, he can follow closely and deal with the threats around him with ease. For a moment, Meng Chang on the other side couldn't see his depth clearly.
Xilai, who has always been straight-minded and hot-tempered, actually works as a bodyguard? It's really puzzling, he doesn't look like a rectum person.
Before Mengchang could take a closer look at the enemy, he saw that other enemy formations seemed to have given up their garrison on the Honghe River and began to gather troops. In order to deal with Di Xin's vanguard of the front army first, Mengchang stamped his feet anxiously and stood on the bank. Then he shouted at the top of his lungs: "The king returns to the formation! Let's go with the army!"
Fortunately, evil attacks are also very powerful. The movements are simple but fatal. Every swing is just right. Without Di Xin's strength, the two short halberds always cut the bird's throat just right, touching the target. After walking away, no more effort and no less effort. Seeing this scene, Mengchang remembered that the elegant and jade-like Li Jing of Chentangguan was also walking quietly like this when he was in the Yancheng camp. Harvesting on the battlefield.
Without the harassment of many Niaoyi people along the coast, Chao Tian, who was the first to cross the river, was the first to board the river bank. He gathered the soldiers around him and began to tear apart the Niaoyi army from the middle of the third formation. Xu Mu was a little depressed. , he really didn't expect that this Shang King who likes to rush would actually be cunning and spend a few days going around the river bank to make a surprise attack. He was caught off guard and directly caused the army to be attacked from both sides and become confused.
And the Bird Yi people who lost their natural protection also completely lost the ability to compete with King Zheng Yi.
"Sou Xu, we should continue to suffer rebellion. If the army is completely lost, even if we defeat the Great Shang army, we will probably have difficulty obtaining fertile land to sustain farming when facing them from Huaihe Island next year."
Xu Mu listened to the deputy chief's advice and looked at the three military formations that were stuck in the quagmire. The nearly 20,000 people were itching with hatred. It was not that he didn't pay attention to the war in the Central Plains. He had fought so many times with Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty before. I remember that what this great merchant likes most is to use force to overwhelm others, and to go on a rampage with the most powerful force in the world. There is neither solution nor solution.
But who changed the opposing coach? Under the banner of Di Xin, but engaging in these conspiracies and tricks, he is not a son of man! !
The situation is already like this. If we give up the three legions that are locked in a bitter battle, most of them can still retreat. When the main enemy force on the other side completes the crossing, it will not be a question of victory or defeat. The remaining nearly 30,000 people will also have to fill in. .
"Let He Hong stay and break up the rear for us. Tell them that God will be watching them from heaven. Gather the remaining three military formations and follow me back to Zhongwu!"
Xu Mu gritted his teeth and looked at the Chinese army's Dabu who was finally crossing the river above the river. He stared at the small figure in the distance, as if he wanted to remember him completely in his heart.
"Who is he?"
The deputy chief looked at him for a while and said uncertainly: "It seems to be a young man. According to the information from merchants in the Central Plains area, in recent years, only the earl from Northern Xinjiang seems to fit the image, and it is very likely that he is him."
Xu Mu sighed, feeling a little helpless: "With his great reputation, there is no false scholar. Now it seems that he is very popular with Emperor Xin. Compared with his old opponent, he is much more troublesome."
"So, let everyone share the same story after we go back. We are here to bring the news back to Zhong Wu, not to retreat. Do you understand? Only by letting all tribes understand that there is a truly ungrateful jackal, can we serve our people in the future. Fight for more chances of survival.”
The deputy chief suddenly realized: "Ah, yes, that's exactly what happened. Xu Shou is still wise."
Mengchang stood on the lone boat and frowned as he watched the strange movements of the Chinese army on the opposite side. Is the retreat speed of the opposite side too fast? They have only engaged the enemy for three battles. Can't they fight again?
However, the problem was not big. It was just a pity that he could not better reduce the enemy's strength in the decisive battle in the future. After this battle, he also gained a lot. At least he knew the Dongyi people's combat effectiveness and fighting style.
They are more ruthless than the princes, but compared to the elite soldiers of each family, their equipment and combat skills are still far inferior to those of the Central Plains countries. It is not without reason that they have been suppressed. The only thing worthy of Mengchang's attention is the previous Xu Xu It was a pity that Xiong Kang and Die Wu were not here and had returned to Jiuli. Otherwise, he would have been interested in letting Xiong Kang try Dong Yi's skills to see if the Yellow Turban Warriors were stronger. Or Starlight Armor is more cost-effective.
"Instruct the whole army to encircle the remaining enemy troops after landing ashore. No one is allowed to pursue them."
There is a saying in the art of war: Don't force the enemy when you are poor. This is the way to use military force.
A rout means a rout. The enemy's morale has been dispersed and he cannot organize an effective counterattack. Therefore, he can expel hundreds of miles away and attack the enemy's position. However, if the enemy troops who retreated in an orderly manner are forced to pursue them, they will encounter various problems. This is different from The number of troops has nothing to do with it. In this regard, Zhang He, one of the five good generals, explained the principle of Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Don't chase the enemy with your life."
The main disadvantage is that the king is the vanguard. If only Zhong Xi or Wu Gan is there, Meng Chang will try to kill them one after another. How much meat can be eaten will gradually reduce the enemy's effective strength, but the king does not Likewise, Meng Chang was really afraid that if he failed to hold the reins for a moment, the king would disappear in an instant.
As Chao Tian joined the battle, the remaining Niaoyi army of less than 20,000 people gradually entered a decline, and defeat was only a matter of time.
At this moment, the order from the Chinese army arrived. Di Xin frowned a little displeasedly. He had just warmed up, why did it have to end before the main course was served?
Emperor Xin looked at the direction in which Xu Mu and others were escaping, and then at Meng Chang who was about to land, thinking thoughtfully of some strange reasons and excuses.
"Evil is coming! Let the front troops gather quickly and follow the enemy to pursue them!"
"Ah? Your Majesty, but the coach just gave the order..."
"What's the order? Gu Ke didn't hear it. Go and assemble quickly. When Meng Chang comes, there will be no chance."
"this……"
"Is Gu the great king, or is he the great king? Do you listen to me or to him?"
"Okay, you are the king, you have the final say."
The horn sounded again, and Mengchang looked up at the front army in confusion. He saw Di Xin holding his halberd high and preparing to chase the enemy aggressively.
Meng Chang was really a little angry this time. You wanted to be the vanguard, so you were allowed to be the vanguard. You wanted to make a killing, and the conditions were created. Now you have to openly disobey military orders. This coach can't do it. No wonder he wants to go to court again. When I was singing, I heard that the king had been afraid of the grand master since he was a child. Meng Chang speculated maliciously that he was afraid that it was because he was too naughty when he was young and he was often beaten by the grand master. If he acted willfully, he would die.
After telling Dai Li to guard the banner, Mengchang turned into fire and flew across the river, chasing the king's elite cavalry.
A stream of red light flashed across, and the temporary coach stopped in front of Di Xin's path with a livid face. He refused to give an inch, staring at the king with a pair of wolf eyes, expressing his dissatisfaction without hesitation.
Di Xin was helpless. After all, he did not lead his cavalry to trample his commander and continue to pursue. With an order, the cavalry began to slow down slowly, and then slowly stopped.
The king said preemptively: "Bold, Uncle Meng Ji, you are so brave, you dare to block the king's carriage."
Meng Chang looked at Di Xin coldly: "May I ask, Your Majesty, who is the commander-in-chief now? If you continue to disobey military orders like this, you should be the commander-in-chief yourself. Anyway, Meng Chang cannot command the King, so I might as well return to the court. Forget the song.”
Who doesn't want to be a brainless warrior? As early as when he was commanding in Yuncheng, Meng Chang wished he could only be a warrior with brute force charging in the future. Being the head coach was like having a seal attached to him. The two hundred thousand troops were eating, drinking and sleeping, and all kinds of contradictions and adjustments were involved. The problem prevented him from leaving the camp for a moment, and he was busy from dawn until midnight. The king did not understand the hardships and hardships involved.
He had just won a hearty and mindless victory. How could Di Xin let Meng Chang leave? He continued to shout and ask: "I am the king. As long as it is a decision made by me, you ministers must find every way to complete it for me." , to protect me, Uncle Ji, you said this yourself, how can your words and deeds be inconsistent now?"
Mengchang laughed angrily. If you hadn't killed first and played second fiddle, making so many mistakes, and I went along with you in order to stabilize the morale of the army, how could there have been so many troubles?
There is a saying in the art of war: If the general fails to command his troops, the battle will be unsuccessful, and those who do not respond will not be victorious.
"I beg for the bones, return to the northern border, and assume the title of feudal state. Please give me your permission!"
"Begging for bones!? What are you talking about? Uncle Ji, you are only in your twenties, why are you begging for bones?"
"We can no longer lead these soldiers. Your Majesty took the lead in disobeying military orders. Who will Mengchang be able to control in the future? If we come here a few more times, I might as well leave as soon as possible to avoid becoming a sinner after the defeat."
"Who dares to disobey military orders when there are many people here?"
"It's you, Your Majesty. If the superiors do something, the subordinates will follow suit. Otherwise, you can come back and guard the banner yourself, or you can allow me to beg for the bones!"
Di Xin held a halberd in one hand and pointed at Meng Chang with one hand. He was speechless for a moment. He didn't know what to say. His face turned red from holding back. He could only hold his neck and reprimanded: "I am the king!"
"It's rare for you to know that you are the king. Do you know that when you were the first to charge, the face of the general opposite him was distorted with a smile?"
The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and Zhong Ji broke out in a cold sweat for fear that the lord who had spoken rudely would be killed by the king. It was not until Di Xin let out a breath that the tense situation gradually eased.
"Now that I know it, it won't be like this next time, okay? Coach Meng?"
"My lord, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Di Xin getting sulky and turning around to leave, he smiled brightly and silently gave Meng Chang a thumbs up. This Uncle Meng Ji is really awesome. He has been with the king for more than ten years. , this was the first time he saw that the king could hold back his temper and endure this humiliating loss.
Not bad, really good.
"Begging Bones" comes from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. I don't know what to say about resigning at this time. Let's just use it. Also, don't worry, there is another chapter in the back to fulfill yesterday's promise. Thank you everyone for your support!
