Dusk is gradually rising, and the lights are on.
While the generals of the Wuning army were eating, they visited Wuci's military tent.
At this time, Le Er was not in the mood to have a feast with his generals.
Le Er sat alone in the commander's tent, frowning. After Le Jia, the younger brother of the Le Er clan and the supervisor of the Central Army, reported the battle damage, all the generals in the tent, including Le Er himself, were shocked. They were extremely surprised. Unexpectedly, Wu Ning's army, which raised ducks and farmed all day long and remained anonymous, had such strong combat power that Wu Ci's army lost nearly two lieutenants.
Judging from the combat power alone, the two parties are half a pound to eight ounces, and I am afraid that no one can win in a short time.
The current situation gave Le Er a headache and embarrassment, who originally wanted to win a battle and then submit an edict. Fight, fearing that he would not win. Surrender, fearing that he would not survive. He would not have the confidence to fight and lose face if he surrendered. For a moment, his face looked a little... It was ugly, and I was holding back a surge of anger.
Except for the fierce military flag at the entrance of the Chinese army's tent, there was almost no sound inside and outside the commander's tent. The generals were watching Le Er quietly. Everyone in the tent knew that from the moment the troops were sent out to attack this morning, there was no sound in the camp. The generals have become like grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous and the other is destitute. At this moment, although they were terribly scared, their backbone was still there. They still needed Le Er to give them an idea whether to fight or surrender.
At the worst, we have to beg Le Er to put down his face and beg the nobleman in the capital to say a few nice words as appropriate to save the lives of these people, right?
Suddenly, Le Er's fat body shook slightly, and the two walnuts he was playing with were crushed into pieces. However, he saw a cold light in his eyes, looking at the ministers like a tiger.
The generals immediately had a plan in mind and wanted to fight.
Le Er looked around the field and spoke passionately, "Brothers, as far as the soldiers are concerned, today's draw is not due to our incompetence. It is actually due to the enemy's deceitful tactics and sudden attack. Our army did not expect it, prepared for the battle all night, and the soldiers were exhausted. If you can catch your breath and adjust for a moment, you will definitely be able to overcome the situation and win a complete victory. You must know that the winner's chips are far more than the chips after the defeat!"
Part of Wu Ci's army was composed of people from the Le clan whom Le Er brought with him when he took office. These people were loyal to Le Er, and part of them were people recruited by Song Laosan and Wei Ji. These people followed Le Er. , they are just chasing fame and fortune, and their loyalty is not high. Le Er does not regard them as true confidants, so he will kill generals such as Song Laosan at any time.
After listening to Le Er's impassioned words, the generals of the Le family immediately responded, while Li Qifeng, a member of the army in the general's office, and Wei Jian, the general of the Zhonglang family, fell into silence. They did not want to fight for such a battle where they did not know whether they would win or lose. war, risking your life.
At this moment, a cold light suddenly appeared in Le Quan's eyes. He held a copper hammer in his hand and glared at Li Qifeng and the others. The rest of the Le family generals also came out with swords and weapons. It seemed that Li Qifeng and others were going to be chased away today.
In desperation, the generals with foreign surnames could only support him in unison.
Le Er nodded majestically, stood up, looked around, pointed at the sand table map, the scars on his face were undulating and trembling, and said, "If Mou Yu besieges our army, I will divide it into enemies; if Mou Yu lures our army to surrender, I will disperse our wealth to gather them; If they attack our army by force, I will defend and attack it. However, this is not the way to win. I thought that if I want to win and win, I should use troops to get rid of the dilemma of insufficient food, grass and baggage and strive for a quick battle; He immediately wrote a letter and submitted it to the emperor. The letter had three intentions. The first was to sue Su and Mou for deceiving the emperor and falsely accusing Zhongliang. The second was to explain that it was helpless to rise up to resist. The third was to force the emperor to withdraw the edict. Otherwise, I will wait until the fish is dead and the net is broken to enter the Goguryeo Kingdom, and then take a boat to join the Qin Dynasty."
The generals looked at each other in confusion. The first two points were understandable, but the third point was a bit arrogant. The generals knew very well that with the Han military system, one army alone could not make a big wave. The reason why they should go to war with Le Er was The first move is due to years of arrogance and character, the second is to take money from others and repay kindness, and the third is to rely on the support of his noble Tian family and the huge power of the Le family in Cangshui, hoping to win a battle to make him The emperor retreated when he saw the difficulty, in exchange for getting away from the crime, preserving his fame and wealth, and even seeking more benefits.
But if too many sacrifices were made and the matter became too big, it would be inevitable that the old emperor would disown his relatives and completely wipe out everyone. This worry only intensified with the first confrontation with Wu Cijun.
Just as General Wu Ci in the camp was thinking about countermeasures, there was a sudden loud shout outside the tent, and the soldiers were ordered to enter the tent to report urgently: The Ji'en section located in the northeast corner was hijacked by unknown cavalry. When they came to report, the cavalry The trenches had been crossed, the earthen dams had been bulldozed, and the horses had been trampled, and all that remained as a barrier was a wooden fence less than two feet high.
Without waiting for Le Er to give the order, Ji En Zhonglang, General Wei Qian, immediately stepped out of the tent, raised his sword and rushed towards the headquarters.
Upon seeing this, Le Er urgently ordered the Central Military Supervisor Le Jia and the Central Military Commander Ge Bing to go to assist in order to stabilize the position. He also sent Li Qifeng, a member of the general's office, to explore the reality and find a way to deal with the enemy.
All the generals in Wu Ci's camp were shocked when they saw this. A captain hesitated for a moment and said, "General, according to the description of the soldiers, the robbers' cavalry had iron horses, red robes, iron spears, and fine armor. They were obviously heavy armored cavalry." Undoubtedly, looking at the five armies in the east, none of them have such money-burning things. I am afraid that in addition to the Wuning Army, His Majesty has also mobilized other troops to come. If this is really the case, the general needs to make plans in advance."
Le Er raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened, and sneered, "Oh? What do you want to do?"
The captain knew Le Er's nature well, but he still replied tremblingly, "Please..., please surrender."
The cold knife was unsheathed and the head fell to the ground. Le Er kicked the captain's head far away and said, "You actually called him Your Majesty? He is really an immature dog."
The soldiers were as quiet as chatting, and did not dare to mention the word "please surrender" again.
...
A few miles away from Le Erzhong Army, on a huge temporary turret, Wuning General Mou Yu and Liaoxi County Governor Su Ran stood in the front. Behind Mou Yu, stood Shen Ni, Mou Xiao, Yang Quan, and Zou. Quan and Cheng Gang are the favorite generals in the five-member army. Behind Su Ran are Li Yun, the magistrate of Wuci County, Wang Kai, the secretary of Liaoxi County, Su Daoyun, the guard chief of Liaoxi County, the dead man Chen and the young Liu Yi.
Everyone was holding their breath and watching a line of military horses galloping in the distance.
Liu Yi was not as tall as an adult, so Su Ran naturally pulled him in front of him, put his hands on Liu Yi's weak shoulders, and said softly, "My child, take a good look at your chess game. In the future, if you can Using the world as a chessboard, I hope you can play so wonderfully."
The picture is from far to near. Wu Ci's army is composed of the central army and three captains. In order to effectively prevent the enemy from attacking and protect our food and equipment, General Le Er's three captains are distributed in a triangle around the central army. Ji The Ji'en section where General En Zhonglang was guarding was facing the Wuning Army's front line and bore the brunt of the attack and became the main target of the Wuning Army's attack.
The two-foot wooden fence outside Jean's military camp was just a matter of reining in the heavy armored cavalry, which was equipped with a white Dawan horse.
At this moment, in front of the formation outside the Jean Army Camp, the leading general, holding a fine steel feather spear, came first on horseback. The anti-flag soldiers followed closely. The two characters "龙駧" on the flag were powerful and majestic, following the leading general. The soldiers are all strong and strong. The officers and soldiers who are familiar with the military system of the Han Dynasty all know that the cavalry in front of them is the head of the twelve internal guards of the Han Dynasty, the Long Xiang Guard.
The Longxiang Guards are the head of the twelve internal guards of the Han Dynasty established by the current emperor Liu Yan. They are heavy armored cavalry. The Longxiang Guards are very good at rushing into formations. They are all white and have no background, and they are loyal to Liu Yan. The Longxiang Guard has one Longxiang Lieutenant, four Longxiang Colonels, and eight Attendants, with a standing reserve of about 14,000 people.
The cavalrymen of Longxiang Guard are all equipped with iron clothes, iron masks, iron helmets, iron spears, white horses, and red robes. They are armed to the teeth. The Longxiang Guard's combined attack skills and the dragon cavalry formation are unparalleled in the world. With its strong combat power, the Longxiang Guard is respected as the "No. 1 Cavalry in the World" by people all over the world. Yi once wrote a poem praising it: The silver spear straddles the white horse, and the lightning is like a shooting star. The cold spear kills the enemy's bravery, and the dragon's iron bones are strong.
In this era when the world is boiling, the soldiers and horses that Emperor Liu Yan can mobilize are stretched thin. It is extremely difficult to detach two thousand from Longxiang Guards to follow Su Ran to fight against rebellion.
Over there, under the control of Wei Jian, the Zeon infantry were densely forming a shield formation.
In the view of Ji Enzhonglang, Wei Jian, the distance between the two sides was less than 50 steps. Even though the Longxiang Guards were well-equipped, the distance of only 50 steps was not enough for the heavy cavalry to charge. Instead, the advantage of the heavy cavalry in charging the formation became The disadvantage is that the cavalry has no speed, that is, the toad has no legs and cannot jump!
At that time, all you need to do is find the right moment, hook your horse's legs, and kill the person with a knife when he lands, and that's it!
But in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, this is not the case. Looking at the Longxiang cavalry from the opposite side jumping in, except for the eyes of the man and the horse, no hair or skin is exposed. They are more or less prepared to fight. Cowardice means.
This tall man, big horse, fine armor, not to mention the iron gun in his hand can easily penetrate the light armor they wear, even a slight bump from the charging horse is enough. If you hit it well, you'll lose some skin; if you hit it badly, you'll lose some skin too!
Seeing that his side's formation was ready, General Long Xiangwei's eyes shone brightly, he lightly raised his fine steel feather spear and said "Fire". The two thousand Longxiang Guard cavalrymen groaned in unison. Except for the first row of Longxiang cavalry, all the other cavalrymen simultaneously touched their left hands to the three vials hanging on their left waist, took out the rightmost one and opened it, and then the other two. The two cooperated, and after applying it to each other's spear points, the two spear points lightly scratched each other. The fine iron spear heads instantly caught fire and were wrapped in flames. It turned out that the content in the bottle was special kerosene.
The leader, the general, raised his fine steel feather spear with his bear arm high, then lowered it again. A sound of "charge" came from his mouth. Then, he took the lead in reining in his horse and charging forward. Thousands of horses and thousands of people understood this. Two thousand dragon cavalry were silent. At the same time, Then they moved, the horses marched in unison, and the people moved in unison, like a red cloud, pressing towards the Ge shield formation formed by the Ji En tribe.
Just as Wei Jian expected, Long Xiangwei's two thousand cavalry rode ten steps, but the marching speed was still not fast. But suddenly, the soldier with the burning tip of his spear reached forward and gently placed it on the iron-covered horse's buttocks in front of him. The horse was in pain but was not surprised. It can be seen that this move was not the Longxiang Guard's fantasy before the battle, but After several exercises.
In just two breaths, the horses suddenly picked up speed, maintained a neat formation, and came in like a strong wind and huge waves.
What a silver spear astride a white horse, lightning like a shooting star!
At this time, Wei Jian was not in the mood to praise or appreciate. He was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless. Even giving orders and other responsibilities were forgotten.
It turns out that cavalry can still play like this!
Long Xiangwei's muskets and horses, galloping with lightning, instantly collided with the densely packed shields of the Wu Ci Army's shield soldiers. Without exception, the Wu Ci Army's shield soldiers were all knocked upside down and flew away. There were sounds of broken bones, screams, and The sounds of stampedes and shouts of killing occurred one after another at this moment.
The Ge soldiers interspersed among the shield troops of the Zeon tribe were trampled to death by the fierce and powerful cavalry without even being able to see the legs of Longxiang Guards' horses.
Occasionally, the Ji En soldiers came to try to hook the horse's legs. They were shot one by one by Long Xiang's cavalry who were skilled in equestrian skills. They were stabbed backwards several feet and fell to the ground.
Occasionally there may be soldiers who resist, but with their plain bodies, there is no way they can withstand the galloping heavy iron horses. Wherever Long Xiang passes, there is a piece of flesh and mud on the ground. Some soldiers don't even have time to pull out their swords. , then drove Hexi to the west.
The soldiers who were soaked in kerosene panicked and hurriedly put out the fire. Although the kerosene did not hurt anyone, it only added to the chaos. Long Xiang Wei drove straight in, his breath flowing through the rainbow. Wei Jian's carefully laid defense line was destroyed in an instant. .
After breaking the Ge shield formation, the Longxiang Cavalry was immediately divided into four, hunting and harvesting heads in the Ji'en camp. They were as leisurely as Wu Ci's army was "harvesting spring fat" in the past. Recalling Wu Ci's army in Liaoxi County He has been domineering for more than ten years, killing people in small ways and slaughtering villages in big ways. Today, he was killed by Long Xiangwei, which is really satisfying.
Anyone who draws a sword will die by the sword. This is the truth.
Wei Jian was standing on a turret not far away. He had just calmed down when he hurriedly ordered the flag soldiers to change their tactics. He started a 'street fight' with Long Xiang Wei using units as units and tents as 'barriers'.
General Longxiang led a cavalry army and went straight to the headquarters of the Zeon army. However, he saw a general flying out from the shadow of the Zeon embroidered flag in front of him. The general was like a giant tower, with bulging muscles and holding an oversized shield. , relying on force, he clashed with the general Long Xiang on foot, whose momentum had subsided. When he got close, the shield-wielding general jumped suddenly, jumped into the air, raised his shield and threw it at the general Long Xiang.
Long Xiang, the leader of the army, stabbed his bear arm forward, facing the captain who was coming at him with his shield. At the moment when the weapons were handed over, the feather in the hand of the general, Long Xiang, was slightly bent, and with a low groan, the mount under his crotch was hit by the captain of the 'giant tower' Overwhelmed by gravity, Long Xiang led the army with a series of pedals, turned sideways, and rolled away. The "Giant Tower" captain from the Wu Ci Army smashed his body and shield on the fallen mount, smashing the horse's head. Shredded.
When General Long Xiang saw this, he was furious, "You dare to destroy my favorite horse, you thief."
Then, he held the feather sword with both arms, imitating the "Giant Tower" captain, jumped up, and threw it at the "Giant Tower" captain. The "Giant Tower" captain was bulky and had no time to dodge, so he had to lift his shield and fight hard. To resist, Long Xiang's general, Xiong Arm, continued to exert force and continuously smashed the big shield on the head of the 'Giant Tower' captain, and the offense and defense suddenly switched.
One strike followed another, and after more than twenty strikes, the shield was smashed into the ground by Porcelain. There was no sound under the shield, and the 'giant tower' was obviously smashed into a puddle of flesh. Good guy! Long Xiang's leader not only killed people, he even dug a tomb for the captain of the "giant tower".
Looking from afar, everyone in the Wuning Army who was standing in the corner tower watching the battle saw that Longxiang Guards had beaten an army twice as many as his own in less than three seconds. They were all shocked by the bravery of his generals and the skill of his soldiers. , especially when you see the method of Wei Kaihua, the captain of Longxiang School, lifting the mountain and carrying the cauldron, it is even more impressive.
Wu Ci's army was retreating steadily, which made Wu Ci County Magistrate Li Yun very excited. He praised directly, "This Long Xiang captain Wei Kaihua is as brave as Changshan Zhao Zilong a hundred years ago!"
The Sima of the Wuning Army, Shen Ni, was an upright man. He was from the same hometown as Li Yun and was relatively familiar with him.
After hearing Li Yun's praise, Shen Ni followed up and said, "Master Li, just from the perspective of realm, more than a hundred years ago, our five tiger generals of the Han Dynasty were all top military generals in the realm of imperial arts, leading troops and fighting in single combat. They are all excellent. According to unofficial records, General Zilong once held a silver gentian spear and rode seven into Cao's camp and out of Cao's camp alone. He killed more than fifty generals and left. According to folklore, one Lu, two Zhao and three Dianwei , General Zhao Yun is only one step away from reaching the top of Tongxuan realm, and is the god general of the world. Our Captain Long Xiang, who is in the realm of pushing monuments, is still far away from being able to compete with General Zilong!"
Li Yun smiled awkwardly and stopped talking. Shen Ni also realized that the occasion for these words was wrong, so he stopped speaking.
In order to avoid the embarrassment, Cheng Gang came out to smooth things over, "Haha, but General Wei is young because he is young. General Wei, like Mou Zhonglang of our Wuning Army, is a young hero. With more experience, his achievements will be unlimited."
The young Liu Yi did not notice these mutual compliments in the officialdom. He had an insight into the situation and saw that the Longxiang Guards had killed the Ji En tribe to pieces. He turned to Su Ran and reported, "Sir, the common people see that the time has come. Second The plan works!"
The carefree Zou Quan stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Who are you? How dare you talk about military affairs?"
If this kid can stand next to Su Ran, he must have a close relationship with Su Ran. Otherwise, Zou Quan would have kicked him long ago!
"Captain Zou, today's plan was all thought up by this kid. I just conveyed it to you during the meal!" Su Ran raised her lean arm and patted Liu Yi's shoulder without any sign of condescension.
ah? Everyone was dumbfounded, but Chen Shichen, the dead man, smiled slightly.
Liu Nandan's son, no matter how young he is, how can he be a loser!
...
The scene turned around. Just as the fierce battle between the two thousand Long Xiang Guards and Ji En's troops was in full swing, Wu Ci's remaining two troops suddenly experienced strange phenomena. A dense rain of arrows was seen in the air falling towards the camps of the two troops, but the arrow rain fell to the ground. However, no one was hurt. The soldiers under the control of the two tribes picked up the arrows from the ground and looked at them carefully. They saw that the arrows had no arrowheads and the arrows were wrapped with white cloth. On each piece of white cloth was written "The camp will be robbed tonight. Those who wrap themselves in white cloth are regarded as brothers and exempted from sin." Some of the white cloths were not even dry with writing on them, so they seemed to be temporary preparations.
The method of victory is to attack the heart first. This 'Feather Arrow to Persuade Surrender' is Liu Yi's second strategy for Su Ran. The first strategy is to suggest that Su Ran send Longxiang Guards to attack the first part of Wu Ci's Army. , used to deter and disintegrate the enemy's military morale, so that the second strategy can be implemented more smoothly. After this strategy is implemented, the Wuning Army will be the main course.
At this time, the Wuning soldiers surrounding the Wuci Army camp shouted the content on the white cloth together with great force. For a time, the Wuci Army officers and soldiers were panicked. Some soldiers secretly hid the white cloth in their sleeves. Waiting for the Wuning army to attack the camp in the evening, they changed their tactics.
The rain of arrows fell like a signal. Long Xiang Xiaowei Wei Kaihua Yu made a move and shouted: "The emperor mobilizes the three armies to arrest the culprits of the trouble. You must not be confused. Before the attack in the morning, those who surrender with white cloth on their arms will be exempted from guilt. They will bear the long sword in their hands." Those who resist will be killed.”
The soldiers followed the general's order. After a while, under the leadership of Wei Kaihua, the Longxiang Guards gathered together and repeated Wei Kaihua's words. The entire Ji En army had no intention of fighting. They stood there blankly, watching the Longxiang cavalry. Carrying Paoze's body, he slowly withdrew from the Jean camp.
On the turret, Wei Jian personally waved the command flag to direct the pursuit, but few followed the order. The exhausted Wei Qian lay beside the turret railing and sighed in a low voice, "You can't be too greedy, otherwise you won't be able to keep your fame and fortune!"
Afterwards, Wei Jian shouted to where Long Xiangwei was retreating, "Can I leave my name for the coming general?"
Wei Kaihua sat on the snatched horse and roared, "I am your father! Haha! Hahaha!"
The morale of the Long Xiang Guards immediately increased greatly. They all held their chests and heads high and rode away.
"History of the Han Dynasty" records: In 341 AD, on the 16th day of the fifth month of the Han calendar, Wei Kaihua, the captain of Longxiang School, accepted the emperor's edict and showed off the power of bears and tigers. He rushed like sand and surges, defeating the enemy in the midst of applause. After that, all the five armies in the east praised the bravery of Long Xiangwei, and no one dared to be convinced.
At this moment, Wu Ci's army is filled with pessimism and laziness from top to bottom. More than half of the 6,000 men in the Ji'en Division have been lost. Two captains under Wei Jian's command were killed under Longxiang Guard's horse. The Jean's Division Le Er's original vision of "defensive counterattack" was abruptly shattered by Long Xiangwei, who hurriedly summoned officers above the rank of captain to discuss the matter.
More soldiers began to secretly hide strips of white cloth in their arms, packed all their belongings, and were waiting to surrender.
For an army that has no will to fight, no faith, and no popular support, it is an inevitable tragedy to surrender when faced with a strong force. Throughout ancient times and modern times, there has never been a time when an army without a way could defeat an army with a way. This is a warning from previous lives. !
It has been seen that Le Er has no winning skills, and the young man of the heavenly army has a good plan.
If you want to know what the plan is, see the breakdown below.
