What people fear most is actually the lack of hope.
At the beginning, Jingnan Hou Zhenbei Hou led the elite troops of Jingnan Zhenbei into Jin Dynasty and fought thousands of miles for ten days, defeating the main force of Wenren and Helian families. But in fact, you want to say that relying on these ten generals It is almost impossible to wipe out all the heritage of two big families that are as big as the country.
But that battle destroyed the pride of the knights of the Three Jin Dynasty and the spirit of the local people. In the past, when the people of the Three Jin Dynasty faced the words of the Great Yan Iron Cavalry, they would They often disagree and feel that their cavalry is not much worse than your Yan people.
However, when the two princes swept away the elite main forces of the two families with the power of thunder, it was as if the sky had fallen on the people of Jin. They directly felt good about themselves before and turned into Yan barbarians. Really invincible fear.
Next, half of the Jin city is almost determined by a message. Hundreds of Yan cavalry can directly make an emergency landing in a city. When thousands of Jin soldiers are defeated and faced with the pursuit of more than a hundred Yan cavalry, they can directly Choosing equipment to surrender.
I think that when General Zheng took control of Shengle, it took almost no effort to subdue the local wealthy family in Shengle, Bald Hair Successor, and asked him to help him clean up the city, and then opened the city gate to welcome his army. Enter the city.
When a country or a political power keeps winning battles and expanding its territory, everyone from the king to the people will be extremely proud.
The opposite of this state is invincibility.
In the battle at Wangjiang, the Yan people were defeated, and they were defeated miserably. However, it was precisely because of the support of this strong national self-confidence that the Yan people did not talk about the barbarians' color change, nor did they fear Chu. People are like tigers.
If you lose, just fight back!
Just waiting for His Majesty’s decree and the registration of troops, everyone will follow the example of their ancestors, march forward for the king, and march to the front line again to fight the enemy in bloody battles.
If the people's sentiments are like this, then the soldiers in the Eastern Expedition army are actually even more so.
The defeat brought them a feeling of anger and aggrievedness, rather than a timid mentality.
In the past few months, many people have dreamed about the tragic defeat that day and the tens of thousands of corpses floating in the Wangjiang River that day.
At this time, Dayan was still in a period of rising fortunes for the nation and the country. Everyone still firmly believed that even if the road was a little tortuous, the future must be bright.
Without the Black Dragon Flag, the enemy cannot be defeated!
The military morale was available, but Emperor Yan and the princes in the court still insisted on asking the Marquis of Jingnan to come out and lead the army.
Because everyone knows that it is really difficult to accumulate this kind of national self-confidence. It doesn’t matter if you lose once, but if you lose again, the problem may be bigger.
If Yan State wants to continue to maintain this kind of self-confidence, this kind of enthusiasm for foreign expansion and enterprising, this second time, it must only win but not lose!
The Qian Kingdom is still building its troops, the Chu Kingdom is still integrating its internal affairs, the barbarian king of the desert is old but not dead, the foreign enemies of Yan, andA lot, and it’s not time to stop yet.
As an ordinary flag-bearer, Ran Min didn't know about this kind of general direction, and he didn't have the time to think about it.
When the sound of the military drum came, he felt relieved in his heart.
The war is finally about to begin, and I can finally win military glory.
The Nan'an County government office killed people in public, how spirited it was, and how bold it was to drink with that arrester;
Big words should be said, but at the same time, this matter Son, you have to do what you have to do.
The commander-in-chief’s military meeting ended much faster than expected.
Jingnan Hou’s style is like this. On weekdays, he will not make too many cumbersome rectifications, and he does not like to frequently call his generals over to show off or lecture.
Zheng Fan once told the blind man that Marquis Jingnan was an activist and did not like to hold report meetings.
Anyone who is dissatisfied, anyone who feels that he cannot meet his requirements, and anyone who makes mistakes, just kill him.
One head is more effective than ten power-building talks.
Although Jingnan Hou’s military meeting was called a military meeting, it was actually a one-word speech.
Basically, Marquis Jingnan gives orders one by one, and you just have to carry them out.
It is said that the Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang, but the problem is that when it comes to the ability to fight, everyone in the Yan Kingdom is convinced.
It was the people of Yan who had a very bad reputation among the people because they committed suicide.
After learning that Tian Wujing was in charge for the second time,
< p>They would also gloat and say: The savages and the Chu people are in bad luck.Absolute prestige and the absolute belief of your subordinates are the prerequisite for speaking out. Otherwise, you will just wait for the situation below to break up.
But obviously, Tian Wujing does not need to worry about this problem.
In terms of military affairs, no one will question him, and no one dares to question him.
After receiving their respective military orders, the generals immediately returned to their camps, and the horns of gathering troops sounded in each camp.
Jingnan Marquis gave instructions one by one on whether the soldiers and horses of each route should gather or separate, which route to take, how to proceed, and how to deal with problems when encountering them.
Although it is not as exaggerated as Zhuge Wuhou gave him a clever plan in advance, Marquis Jingnan always likes to break the situation by peeling off cocoons when using troops, and all the soldiers and horses under his command must also be able to use their fingers like an arm.
The gathering of troops was completed late at night. Ran Min carried his own flag and stood where he should be.
Generally speaking, large-scale military mobilization is rarely carried out at night. Firstly, it will make people panic and the morale of the military fluctuate. Secondly, it is difficult to prohibit the mobilization at night.
But at this time, all units of the Yan army were gathering and setting off in an orderly manner.
The so-called strong military posture, strong, is strong here.
Ran Min got on his horse and stood in front of the captain.Under the leadership of the leader, the more than 100 cavalrymen they were on began to leave the camp.
Colleagues at the front are already laying the groundwork to cross the river. Straws, planks and even chains are all prepared in advance.
After all, there has been such a long pause and the war has not completely started. It is impossible for everyone to really do nothing.
The location of crossing the river is directly opposite Yupan City, which is where the eldest prince led his Chinese army to cross the river last time at Wangjiang Station.
The Chu people on the other side should have detected something strange here, but the Chu people did not send any troops to stop the Yan army from crossing the river.
Because the frozen river surface greatly reduces the difficulty for the Yan army to cross the river, and it is also dark at this time. If you send an army to block it on the shore, it will be easy for the Yan army to cross the river from other directions upstream and downstream. The army makes dumplings for them.
Of course, the most important reason is that the Chu people have built Yupan City into the strongest fortress in the city, and they have long been prepared for the Yan people to attack the city.
If you want to come, then come. Do you feel bad when you see your Yan cavalry dismounting and attacking the city with ants?
Because there was no blockage from the Chu people, the crossing of the river went smoothly. After the front troops crossed, Ran Min's unit quickly began to follow suit.
In order to prevent accidents, everyone dismounted and led the horses across the ice. The horses' hooves were wrapped in rags, and the ice was already cushioned to avoid slipping to the greatest extent. At the same time, the fixation of the iron chain can also minimize casualties in the event of ice breakage.
After Ran Min crossed the river, his troops were sent to the upper reaches of Yupan City and began to form formations.
Ran Min carried the flag and was meticulous. Although he knew that sentries must have been deployed earlier, he still looked around with extreme vigilance.
He once walked through the car gang, which can be regarded as running through the rivers and lakes. He thought that the rivers and lakes were deep, and he had to guard against others robbing escorts from time to time, but it was not until he actually went to the battlefield that he realized how mysterious and unpredictable it was. The world of Jianghu cannot create such a depressing and solemn scene and atmosphere.
Messengers were constantly running through the military formation, delivering new orders from the generals above. Ran Min's troops also adjusted their positions several times.
On the Jade Pan City in front, there were many torches. Obviously, the Chu people couldn't sleep this night either.
Ran Min noticed that behind him, civilians and auxiliary soldiers were building a temporary camp.
In front of him, there were several groups of five thousand soldiers and horses galloping past.
Learning from the last failure of the Left Route Army, the first thing the Yan Army did after crossing the river this time was not to attack Yupan City, but to expand the battlefield space.
Even if Yupan City is included, he will not take it seriously.
Sufficient battlefield space is too important for the Yan army, which is dominated by cavalry. The mobility and flexibility of cavalry that cannot run are inferior to those of infantry.
The relationship between night and night can not only makeIt was difficult for the enemy to grasp the situation in time. Even Ran Min, who was among the army, did not know exactly how many soldiers and horses had crossed the river this time.
I estimated in my mind that by now, there should be no less than 50,000 people, and the army is still crossing the river in a steady stream.
As a flag-bearing soldier, Ran Min was not qualified to accept any military orders from the top, but he also understood that the Marquis of Jingnan would either not fight, or if he wanted to fight, he would fight a big one.
Ran Min's military formation was on alert. This was to prevent the Chu people in the city from suddenly coming out or the barbarians from outside suddenly leading troops to attack. This army must be ready to attack at any time. to provide cover for the rear.
When it was just dawn, a new order was issued, and Ran Min's unit and other surrounding guard troops began to retreat, retreating to the north side of the camp without entering the camp.
Those who take care of the war horses take care of the war horses, and those who eat breakfast eat breakfast. Of course, those who have no time to bury the pot to make rice all have prepared dry food in advance, and take away a piece of dried and cured meat for each person.
This is not a luxury, but before the actual war begins, the soldiers must eat some meat. Firstly, meat can help them withstand hunger. Secondly, anyone who has worked as a coolie knows that there is no oil, water or salt in their stomachs. I feel completely unmotivated when it comes to work.
However, although there is no buried pot for cooking, there is still hot water with a little salt in the hot water.
Ran Min ate quickly, and then found that Pao Ze beside him ate very slowly. When these people ate, they did not sit down on the ground, but all sat on their knees with their upper bodies straight.
Although there are follow-up soldiers and horses ahead who have taken over their previous guard positions, everyone is still ready to get up and mount quickly if there is any trouble.
Gradually, the siege towers and arrow towers were also pushed across the river. The big guys seemed to give people a very solid feeling.
These siege equipment were also built during this period, because the battlefield was actually only a river away. It was very convenient to just build them early and then push them over.
If it is a long-distance attack on a city, these equipment will naturally have to be rebuilt.
The Yan people are not good at attacking cities, but they have always seen pigs running away before eating pork. Everyone still knows what is needed to attack a city.
Since this period of time, the original bureaucracy of Chengguo has been operating these things, mobilizing civilians and experienced craftsmen to provide material support for the army.
After breakfast, everyone began to go to the outside to solve physical problems. It is customary in the military that before a big battle, eating, drinking, and diarrhea must be concentrated together to solve them all at once.
If we really want to start a war, how can we give you the time to shit?
Ran Min heard from his corps commander that he had seen a group of Zhenbei troops. When these people drank water by the stream, they always turned their backs to the water and faced outwards. When resting on the way, we eat, drink, and defecate together.
It may sound a little inelegant, but these details are what embody a team.The key to whether soldiers and horses are truly elite.
They are not humans, but a group of sharp knives.
Siege equipment was being continuously transported to the other side. At the same time, soldiers and horses began to cross the river from the rear. Ran Min felt that the Yan army on the east side of the river at this time should be no less than 80,000 people. .
The vanguard army has begun to clear the roadblocks outside Yupan City and level the ground at the same time, in preparation for the next siege.
A bugle sounded,
After receiving the order, his captain ordered around:
"Prepare your armor, wipe your sword, mount your horse, and take over from the front!"
Ran Min mounted his horse again and carried the flag. After resting, his troops began to change defenses with the friendly troops in front.
Beside Ran Min,
Wuzhang spat,
said:
"Straight mother thief, Chu people shrink Luanzi, why haven't the savages come to attack us?"
Ran Min hesitated,
whispered:
"I guess they won't attack us? "
...
On the tower of Yupan City, Qu Tiannan's flags and family flags stood side by side. Qu Tiannan himself stood on the watchtower, looking at the Wangjiang River in front of him. , as well as the huge Yan army in the area from Yupan City under his feet to Wangjiang.
The Yan people's cavalry have already outflanked them. It can be said that the Yupan City where they are currently stationed has been "eaten" by the Yan people.
But whether it can be digested depends on whether the Yan people have such good teeth.
In the city, food shortage is a problem, but it is not a big problem. Saving a little can still support the transportation of food and grass until the ice and snow melt in spring.
When the time comes, the navy will cross the river again, and he will be able to calmly advance or retreat.
The Yan people surrounded their city, and Qu Tiannan didn't worry too much. The plan of the Chu army and the barbarians was for the Chu people to garrison Yupan City, occupy this point, and then let the barbarians impose on the Yan people from outside. Pressure is the horn of each other.
The main force of the barbarians is waiting outside. The Yan people really dare to attack the city at all costs. Qu Tiannan doesn't mind working with the barbarians inside and outside to attack a wave of Yan people.
Of course, the premise is that the barbarians attack first. Anyway, the Chu army is defending the city and is in an invincible position in a short period of time. If the barbarians are smart enough to attack from outside, Qu Tiannan will I don't mind opening the city gate to help rush through, but if the barbarians don't move, the Chu army will naturally not move either.
However, looking at the Jingnan Army suppressing the Northern Army outside the city,
Qu Tiannan had another idea in his mind,
Tian Wujing wanted to make a big gamble Is it a one-and-done thing?
You put all the elites of your Eastern Expedition Army under my Yupan City, just because you want to bet that the savages will come to help Yupan City rescue the siege, and you want to force a decisive battle?
Heh,
That savage Wang Gou Moli is not a fool either.
Why should he be punished?Are you forcing me to fight you?
After thinking about this, Qu Tiannan frowned slightly, and he suddenly thought of the savages' behavior in the east to isolate news.
Could it be that
is there really something wrong with the east side?
"Oh, that Yan Nanhou is really brave. Counting the Yan troops outside the city, it must be 80,000, and they are the most capable of fighting Yan people. Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army, is Nanhou planning to survive?
After working together for so long, he finally came up with this idea? ”
Young man is losing weight? After eating "mutton" that day, he didn't eat for two days. He could barely drink some rice porridge on the third day, and the meat on his face was obviously less.
The swordmaker stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea of black armor in front of him. After hearing what the young man said, he laughed and said:
"Again There are so many plans and tricks, but in the end, they all have to be fought with real swords. Although the move of Nanhou, a Yan native, is indeed a bit radical, it is hard to say who will win."
" Why is it hard to say? We just need to stay here. It’s not like you don’t know how strong this Yupan City is. The Qingluan Army is the elite of our country. The fourth brother once said that Qu Tiannan is the most upright person. In other words, , This kind of city defense battle is the most suitable for this Zhuguo.
Moreover, there is an army of savages watching from outside, and the Yan people cannot attack the city wholeheartedly. ”
You. When the siege is in full swing, if the barbarian army suddenly breaks out, all your previous efforts will be in vain.
The sword maker shook his head and said:
“You can see the problem, how come Nanhou from Yan can’t see it?
In any siege battle, the usual approach is to use civilians to fill in the ravines, and then use auxiliary troops to lead the battle, consuming the city wall defense equipment, and then the real elites go up to try to open a breakthrough.
What the Yan people rely on is nothing more than the strength of the cavalry, but the cavalry has no temper at all during the siege.
Look now,
Including the outside, it is close. The army of 100,000 is mainly composed of the Jingnan Army and the Northern Army. Do you really think that the Nanhou is here to attack the city? "
"Surround the area for reinforcements?"
The swordsmith nodded.
"Then Gou Moli is not a fool. Why would he jump into an obvious pit? As long as the Jade Plate City is not lost, we will stay until the spring. When the Wangjiang River thaws, I will be surprised. The navy comes up again.
If we want to fight, Fourth Brother can send another army to support us. If we want to retreat, we can leave safely.
The Yan people are the ones who are in trouble!"
"It is true to say so, but how can things in the world be as perfect as everyone wants?
On both sides of the Wangjiang River, hundreds of thousands of troops are confronting each other, and the amount of food and grass they consume every day is staggering. , In comparison, the Yan people are backed by Jin, and Yingdu still retains a team of officials who can still operate. Although it is extremely stressful to support the army, it is no problem to persist.
Looking backOur place has suffered so much. Even if we eat that mutton, how much can we eat?
And we Chu soldiers still don’t know what meat is eaten every now and then. If we knew, it would be a big problem for the morale of the army. ”
“How come we are worried? "
"Half a pound to eight ounces, let's fight each other. We are short of food here, but the Yan people are short of time. If we don't reverse the situation while Wangjiang is still frozen, wait until it thaws. After that, they got even harder.
Actually, to put it bluntly, the Nanhou of the Yan people has already set up a battle array, just like a martial artist setting up an arena. It depends on whether the barbarian king will accept this. War letter. "
"He is stupid. He has made a lot of money after robbing enough, but he has to come here to fight against the Jingnan Army and the North Army? ”
In the last battle of Wangjiang, the Yan army suffered a disastrous defeat. Whether it was in the snowy plains or in the Chu Kingdom, what was publicized was that the Yan army suffered a disastrous defeat, with tens of thousands of soldiers lost, and their corpses clothed across the river;
But this kind of news is just propaganda from both sides to the people in their own country.
The real upper-level figures know that the Yan Left Army, which suffered heavy losses last time, In fact, the local armies of the Yan people were mixed together to form a military group that seemed huge but was actually cumbersome.
The only ones that can really fight in the Yan country are the Zhenbei and Jingnan 2nd Army.
< p>And now,Looking at the armor below, watching the flags standing below, and the elites of the two armies gathered here, does he dare to come here to touch again?
Why touch it?
Isn’t it good to live?
The sword maker pursed his lips and said:
"Unless there is a reason why we must fight. "
...
Although the Yan army crossed the river last night, it is obviously impossible to hide such a large-scale military operation from the other side.
< p>Not only did the Chu army in Yupan City be immediately alarmed, but a barbarian army camp thirty miles north of Yupan City also received the news early.In the past few days, although Wang said. The Jiang line has always been peaceful, but the fighting between the scouts and sentries on both sides has been raging. Every day, more than a hundred sentinels and rangers from both sides are killed in battle. However, in the face of such huge bodies on both sides, The loss of the sentry cavalry was obviously difficult to justify.
After the Yan people crossed the river, the barbarians not only sent out the sentinel cavalry, but also used three captains to spy on the Yan people. and the situation below Yupan City.
However, without receiving a formal order from the Savage King to start the war, these captains just drove away the outer sentries of the Savages and took a walk.
In the afternoon, the Yan army began to attack the city with siege rams, siege towers, etc. They were all pushed under the city wall. The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army carried the ladder and droveThe siege began.
After learning the news,
The Savage King fell into deep thought.
In front of him, sat Sang Hu and other direct generals. They all knew the news that Grimu was killed in the fall of Xuehaiguan. The atmosphere in the king's tent was extremely solemn.
......
Ran Min participated in the siege, but he was lucky because he was the flag bearer, so he was placed at the back.
This was also the first time Ran Min saw the scene of siege. The Yan soldiers on the siege tower and arrow tower used their bows and arrows to try their best to suppress the Chu army on the wall, but the Chu army counterattacked. , also extremely sharp.
Under the city wall, batch after batch of soldiers carried ladders and began to attack the city, but the Chu army on the wall of Yupan City quickly smashed down thornwood, rolling stones and hot oil.
The screams are endless.
After the artillery carts in the Yan Army's position began to throw stones, the artillery carts prepared by the Chu Army in the city also responded quickly. For a time, several of the Yan Army's artillery carts were smashed. .
The Chu people had been holding back from using artillery carts to bombard the Yan army's arrow towers before, just waiting for this move.
Ran Min felt that if he threw himself into this siege, he would quickly dissipate like a drop of water falling into the river.
This may be the true cruelty of the battlefield.
Finally, it was Ran Min’s turn to go up.
Ran Min put down the flag, drew out his sword, and rushed forward with Pao Ze shouting.
After crossing the ravine, Ran Min first carried the ladder with several robes. In front of him, there were shield bearers to protect him. Even if the archers behind him threw himself on the city wall, the Chu army would You should also try your best to shoot arrows to cover your partners in front of you in your arrow field of vision.
Death has become the cheapest consumable at this time.
An arrow hit Ran Min, but with luck, the arrow just stuck on the armor and did not penetrate into the flesh. Ran Min did not bother to pull out the arrow and continued to carry the ladder forward.
But at this moment,
the rear retreated its troops.
The Yan army on the city wall began to retreat in an orderly manner. Ran Min did not hesitate, dropped the ladder, and then put the man next to him who was shot by an arrow on his shoulders, and started flying as if he was flying. Run back.
The gate of Yupan City was opened at this time, and a group of Chu army swordsmen and axemen rushed out while the Yan army retreated, trying to destroy the Yan people's towers or hunt down a group of Yan people's retreating troops.
But when Ming Jin retreated, a group of Yan Army crossbowmen were already ready. After a round of projectiles, many of the Chu Army sword and axemen who tried to take advantage of the opportunity to get out of the city fell. Bu retreated to the city again.
The siege was exciting but the harvest was chaotic.
It seems that I am just practicing my hands and getting a feel for it. This is just an appetizer.
After returning to the camp, the soldiers who attacked the city during the day did not need to participate in tonight's vigil. Ran Min was lying in the tent, and the captain came over with a bowl of soup.
"Come on, have a drink to get rid of the cold."
Ran Min shook his head and looked at the captain's water bag.
Drinking is not allowed in the army, but there are exceptions. When fighting in winter, a sip of wine can warm the body, so the superiors will distribute some. However, alcoholism is not allowed, but those found drunk will be killed without mercy. .
"Hey."
The corps commander was a little reluctant, but he still untied the water bag and threw it to Ran Min, not forgetting to remind:
" It’s very interesting to take two sips, and others still want it.”
Ran Min took two sips, swallowed the first sip, and lingered in his mouth for a long time after taking the second sip.
Immediately,
Ran Min handed the water bag to the captain.
The captain took the water bag, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to Ran Min.
Ran Min didn’t know why.
"Seeing as you are a drinker, just take a couple more sips."
Ran Min is indeed good at wine and can drink it, but he still said:
< p>"What about the others?""Our team is missing two today."
......
On the wall of Yupan City, Qu Tiannan was standing there While inspecting the city defense, the morale of his soldiers was still good, because the Yan people's attack during the day did not put too much pressure on the defense here.
But Qu Tiannan's mood has never been very high.
The sword maker accompanied him, and the two walked on the city wall together.
"What do you think, sir, of the Yan people's siege during the day?" Qu Tiannan asked.
"It seems like a test, not like playing for real, but it is a matter of fiction and reality. Zhu Guo, I am not familiar with military affairs, so I really don't dare to make a decision."
“Outside the city, the Yan people’s Zhenbei Jingnan Second Army is here, not for us, they are waiting for the savages to come and rescue us.”
“That savage king, but He is like an old fox, even though he is usually shameless in front of us, but he is really not that simple."
"So, this is what I find strange, Marquis Jingnan from Yan. Why did he conclude that the savages couldn't afford to wait and took the initiative to fight with him?"
"Dongmian, is there no news yet?"
"He hasn't come back yet? , but it should be soon."
"Zhu Guo, maybe when the troops who went out to explore come back, we will know what happened in the east."
< p>"Let's see how the Savage King will react tomorrow. In addition to defending the city or defending the city, everything must change according to his direction.""He, can he withdraw?"
"Sir, you don't know the direction of the wind during large-scale cavalry operations. If the Savage King really wants to withdraw, he will see that the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army have crossed the river during the day. Once he arrived, he immediately led the main force to withdraw to the east. Even if he did not retreat directly to Xuehaiguan, but moved to the east, I would not be so entangled and confused today.
He did not retreat on the following day. When he tried to retreat tomorrow, the Yan cavalry directly attacked them. His retreat could easily turn into a rout. He himself gave up the best opportunity to retreat. "
"It seems that Zhu Guo is not wondering about the plans of the Yan Nanhou, but the response of the barbarian king? "
"Yes, these inexplicable... beasts. ”
……
The biting cold wind keeps scratching people’s faces, but for the savages, compared to the cries of the snowy fields, this cold wind is actually It's really nothing.
The barbarian army outside began to gather.
In the king's tent,
The barbarian king stretched out his hand and rubbed his own. Face,
licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue,
said:
“We can’t retreat, because there is no way out. "
Before the generals below could speak, the Savage King continued:
"Grimu is dead. There has been no news of a breach at Snow Customs. Don't think so. If we withdraw our troops now and go back to help attack the Snow Customs, we can quickly defeat that customs.
The Yan people across the street, Nanhou, may be waiting for us to do this.
As soon as the army retreats, the Yan people will chase after them. Once they retreat, half of their anger will be dissipated. When they return to the outside of Xueguan Pass and see the Yan people’s flag hanging on it, less than half of them will be left. My anger has basically dissipated.
Don’t look at how busy Nanhou led his army to attack the city under Yupan City during the day. They were all beating gongs for us to listen to.
After spring, the river will thaw, and he can’t afford to wait;
At first, we eagerly transported the captured food and slaves back to the snowy fields. Now, Even a two-legged sheep is hard to find. In fact, we can’t afford to wait.
The Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army crossed the river overnight. They were actually waiting for us.
That Nanhou from Yan is issuing a challenge to me, meaning that since no one can afford to wait, it is better to have a quick fight. ”
At this time, a savage general stood up directly and said:
“King, in this case, let’s fight him. The Yan people are still superstitious about their cavalry. They are invincible in the world, so let's show them that the warriors of the saints equipped with armor, iron arrows and swords are definitely no worse than the Yan people! "
Sang Hu said solemnly:
"How about we wait and see and let the Chu people sharpen the spirit of the Yan people in Yupan City first?
The Yan people's Zhenbei and Jingnan Second Army are their real elites. They have been frustrated under the Yupan City for a few days. When the decisive battle comes, we might as well take action. ”
Sang Hu’s status is very high, and what he said is very reasonable. Using the lives of the Chu people to sharpen the spirit of the Yan people is a good deal.
Other radical advocates The few savage generals who fought could not say "no" to this measure. After all, everyone still cherished the lives of their warriors.
The Savage King smacked his lips,
shook his head,
said:
"The news cannot be blocked for too long."
This is the real crux of the matter.
You can take the initiative to block the news from the Snow Customs in the east, but the problem is that half of the army under your command is your direct descendant, and the other half is contributed by following your own tribe.
They were originally connected to the mother tribe in the snowfield. After plundering something, they would immediately send people to transport it back, like moving a hamster.
This blockade will not last long at all. When the leaders of those tribes find that they have cut off information exchange with their mother tribe, they will inevitably become suspicious.
A lot of time has passed since the fall of Xue Customs. It is difficult to hide this news any longer.
The most helpless thing about the Savage King is that,
His original idea was to maintain the puppet regime of Situ Yi. He wanted to let the Yan people support Situ Yu just like the Yan people did. This local government is providing itself with a steady stream of blood transfusions.
For the Yan people opposite, they don’t have to worry about food, grass and equipment, because this year’s spring plowing and autumn harvest have been carried out on the opposite side.
But the Savage King has no choice.
Rather than saying that he is a king,
it is better to say that
he is the most powerful force in the snowfield. The powerful leader among several tribes.
After entering the customs,
he can no longer control the savage army to plunder,
even if you know that this behavior is to deplete the lake.
But the reason why everyone is willing to follow you is to rob the population, property and food. If you don't allow them to do this, why do they still follow you? Still want to obey your orders?
Why not change someone else?
When you cannot represent the interests of this group, this interest group will abandon you. This is the same principle in all walks of life since ancient times.
The Chu people were even more ruthless, and directly drove Situ Yi’s small court out of Yupan City. It was a pseudo-dynasty, and it was treated as a joke to move the capital. The legitimacy and legal rationality were instantly lost. .
Situ Yi was completely spoiled by the game.
Furthermore, the savages are really afraid of poverty. When they see good things, food, supplies, and people, they all move home.
At the end, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t even satisfy my basic food rations!
What the hell is this?
But after all, the Savage King also knew in his heart that this could not be entirely their fault, because even though he kept saying that under his feet was the homeland where our holy race thrived and lived, but In fact, he was also preparing to retreat back to the snowfield at any time.
You can keep the green mountains without fear of running out of firewood. This time you have already made enough, and even doubled it countless times. When you return to the snowfield, your prestige will completely crown you as the leader of the entire snowfield. Co-owner.
His power will be further strengthened, and many tribes throughout the snowfield will surrender under his feet.
I thought so, and the generals who led the troops below naturally thought so too. Anyway, if it didn’t work, they had to go back to the snowy plains, so they hurriedly transported the looted things back, for fear that they would be killed. When the troops were about to evacuate, the things and slaves were too late to be transported away, what a loss it would be!
The Savage King also discovered that some people were loyal and fearless when they first started, and they were willing to sacrifice themselves for the future of the saints. They had a big pattern. But after entering the customs this time, he discovered Many people have changed and become somewhat strange.
Including some,
direct generals who are qualified to sit in their own tents at this time.
In fact, I am still hungry and thirsty, and I still have a lot of desire, and I still want to continue to make progress, but some people are already satisfied and want to be comfortable.
"King, we will do whatever you say, and we will always follow your steps!"
Sang Hu knelt down in front of the Savage King.
Seeing this, the other generals also knelt down.
"We are willing to follow the king's footsteps!"
The Savage King exhaled and said:
"We are now, It's dangerous, really dangerous, but at this time, the less we can show our cowardice.
When dealing with wolves in the snowfield, we all know one thing, that is, the more you are in danger, the more likely you are to be afraid. If you show fear in front of the wolves, the wolves will bite you harder and harder!
That Yan Nanhou must have guessed that there is something wrong behind us, no, I even think, The loss of Xuehaiguan was probably arranged by Nanhou from Yan. This was part of his plan.
He is seeking a fight with us, and he firmly believes that his elite cavalry from Yan can do it! Defeated us in the field.
He was wrong,
He was really wrong! ”
“King, fight!”
< p>"Fight, king!""Yes, teach the Yan people a lesson again!"
The generals clamored for battle.
The Savage King raised his hand,
for a moment,
everyone was silent.
“Heh.”
The Savage King laughed,
raised his head,
clenched his fists,
Dao:
"If he wants a decisive battle, I will fight with him. All the troops will start preparing immediately tonight. At dawn, that's when all my troops will cross the river!"
< p>"Crossing the river?""Not going to Yupan City?"
"This..."
The Savage King stood up,
p>
Said loudly:
"The Yan people Nanhou wanted to use his most elite soldiers and horses to fight with my holy warriors, but I couldn't do what he wanted. His Yan army could cross the river. , we, the saint warriors, can naturally cross the river.
Tomorrow morning,
our army will cross the river and attack the Yan people’s military camp on the other side of the river!
Didn’t he want a decisive battle?
Didn’t he want to finish us off before spring?
Okay,
Then I will completely Smash this plate! "
Sang Hu said:
" King, what if the Yan people's Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army come back for reinforcements? "
The Savage King waved his hand,
said:
"Qu Tiannan is not a fool. Although the Chu people of Zhuguo are cautious in using their troops, they will not fail to see that Whatever we want to do, as long as we cross the Yangtze River and advance westward, Qu Tiannan will definitely drag the two elite Yan people, the Jingnan Army and Zhenbei Army outside Yupan City, at all costs.
After defeating the west bank and destroying the Yan camp, we can also take advantage of the situation and break through Yingdu City. By then, food will no longer be a problem.
The western half of the Chengdu Kingdom, and even the entire Jin Kingdom, will become the world that my saint warriors can eat!
Tomorrow,
As long as we win,
then the Yan people,
will face their second defeat at Wangjiang!
At that time,
The Yan people are not thinking of expelling us.
The Nanhou should think more about it.
How to lead his troops to retreat safely to Yan! "
The Savage King gasped for air,
his face became more and more flushed,
"The Nanhou of Yanren dares to make a big bet, then I will Play with him with a bigger one! ”
