Chapter 392: The Emperor of Zhou's Backhand
The war has been going on for five hours, from the third quarter of Si hour to the beginning of You hour. The entire battlefield is littered with broken limbs, broken weapons, and tattered flags.
Blood has soaked the mottled grass of Daleguan Plain red.
The formations of the millions of troops on both sides have long been disrupted. Except for some generals who are still organized, most of the soldiers have already been mixed with each other. It is a mess. Anyway, the soldiers and armor are different. Kill That’s it.
Human life is like a piece of grass, and everyone has become a machine that only knows killing and is insensitive.
The blade of the knife was curled, so he picked up the knife belonging to the dead body on the ground. The corpse's knife was gone, so he used the last of the warrior's true energy to strike violently. In short, he could not retreat or be cowed. If he vented his anger in one breath, he would not be able to lift it up.
"On top! On top..."
Zhang Fan's black armor has been stained red with blood, both his own and his enemies. He is the character for "War" of the Western Qin Army. The cavalry centurion of the battalion, the first batch of junior officers after the reform of the Western Qin military system, was allocated 120 acres of land to his family, and received a monthly military salary of eighteen taels, plus eighty shi of food.
This is already extremely rich among his neighbors, but he thinks it is nothing. He is a soldier with lofty dreams, which is to support the King of Qin to conquer the country and become the founding general. Therefore, he must fight every battle. Fight hard.
In the past, no matter what kind of enemy we encountered or what kind of battle we experienced, we could always defeat the opponent quickly by relying on our indomitable and fearless drive. However, it seems to be different today,
Although the opponent's soldiers were weaker in combat power, they were still fearless of death. Even though one of their arms was cut off, they still muttered "defend the home and the country", "kill thieves" and "loyal to your majesty", and fought to the death. Fight.
The hundred soldiers he led advanced several hundred meters, and were forced back again and again. They advanced, retreated, and pushed and pulled seven or eight times. He calculated that at least two hundred of the opponent's soldiers had been killed. But there are only a dozen brothers left on our side.
He didn't have time to see which brothers were loyal. This was war, there was nothing we could do about it, and the duty of a soldier was to kill the enemy or die on the battlefield.
"Kill..."
Hundreds of enemy troops surged forward again. He looked at each other with his thirteen brothers, rushed forward bravely, and quickly killed the enemy troops. , reined in his horse and looked again, he was the only one left.
There was no fear, no sadness, only anger. He raised his sword high and roared: "The Western Qin is invincible. Zhang Fan, the centurion of Zhanziying, is loyal to the King of Qin. Even if he dies, he will be honored!"
He tightened his horse's reins and charged again, killing four people with his sword. Seeing a dozen spears coming from the side, he was certain to die. He couldn't help but chuckle, raised his sword and fought back, going to die calmly.
Suddenly he saw Four to five hundred Western Qin Paoze came from the left, killing hundreds of Zhou troops with three strikes and five cuts. The leading general yelled: "Damn you, uncle, there are many of us. Follow me to the left and move closer to General Han Qiniang." !”
“Here! General.” Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the corpses of his soldiers with nostalgia.
Everything happening here is just an insignificant corner of the battlefield.
At this moment, the battlefield that stretches for dozens of miles is filled with fighting everywhere and being pushed to the limit at any time.
The Central Military Department of the Western Qin Army.
There were only 3,000 Guards Cavalry and 1,000 Iron Floating Guards left around King Qin's chariot. Even Tai Xun Gong, Yu Siliu, Song Lao Chu and others only stayed in the old camp. They needed to coordinate the situation. Consequences of defeat.
In addition to Xin Zhuo, there are also Sai Qingzhu and Cui Ying'er in the car. They are the commanders of the special forces, and the special forces have not yet come to the rescue.
“This battle is really confusing!”
Sai Qingzhu looked at the battlefield silently, "It has been five hours, and the soldiers are almost out of strength. Our army has a slight upper hand, but the Zhou army has no intention of retreating. Too many men have died in the battle!"
< br>Cui Ying'er sighed and said: "The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty is on the opposite side of the army, and the King of Qin is also raiding the formation here. Naturally, the two armies have no choice but to fight to the death. !"
Looking at Xin Zhuo: "Your Majesty, are the special troops coming?" "No hurry!" Xin Zhuo looked through the dense crowd of figures on the battlefield, "Wait a minute. Ji Chunjiu takes action first!"
Sai Qingzhu hesitated: "Is the Emperor of Zhou having a back-up plan?"
"There must be!"
Xin Zhuo pinched a grape and threw it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.
Cui Ying'er asked: "What if he is waiting for us too?"
Xin Zhuo said: "Zhou Jun has been at a disadvantage. Is he more anxious or am I?"
Sai Qingzhu and Cui Ying'er looked at each other and stopped talking. In this way, of course the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was anxious, and Western Qin was slightly better after all.
...
“With hundreds of thousands more troops, attacking and killing in an upright manner, why are there signs of defeat so quickly?”
The emperor of Zhou Dynasty was rolling on the dragon, and the emperor was excited and excited from the beginning. Hot-blooded, slowly calmed down, then changed from calm to frightened, and then from frightened to anxious.
He has never fought in a war. He has been a prince for twenty years and an emperor for two years. He understands the art of war and strategy. He even stayed up all night several times to read Jiang Yuqing's "The Art of War" and discussed strategizing. He believed that he had extraordinary abilities. As an emperor, he had a broader vision, good skills, and was able to lay hands on all the power and strategies of his subordinates.
But the most fearful thing in the world is "I think".
Frankly speaking, he also had the idea of having a bad temper about the imperial commander's personal expedition. The Tianwu Army and the Yulin Army actually go to the border for actual combat every year. In terms of arms and combat strength, they are actually no weaker than the two armies in front of the palace and Shence. Plus, along the way With generous rewards, sumptuous food, and the help of the emperor, his combat power will surely be enhanced.
He did not choose to divide his forces with Jiang Yuqing and play tactics, but forced the opponent's main force to fight decisively, because he was afraid of Jiang Yuqing's tactics. In an upright decisive battle, he felt that there was hope of victory or the possibility of a tie.
No matter which one, you can break the myth of Jiang Yuqing's invincibility and completely enhance your imperial majesty.
The number of King Qin’s troops in the rear is increasing. One is declining and the other is increasing. He must be the victor!
There is no problem with this idea!
The problem is, the situation just doesn't develop according to his ideas.
"Your Majesty!" Yuan Yi, the general of the Tianwu Army, said with a bitter smile: "The Western Qin soldiers are all veterans of many battles. They are powerful soldiers in the world. It is natural for them to have the upper hand at first, but they did not defeat our army for five hours. , even if the two armies are evenly matched, our army has the advantage, and there is still hope of victory!"
Ji Chunjiu's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice: "Let the armored puppets move out!"
Yuan Yi, Eunuch Tiger and others who accompanied the army were surprised: "Your Majesty, the armored puppet is the last resort. It is used to contain the demon soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty. They cannot be used at will!"
Yuan Yi updated He said: "You can wait for Jiang Thief to take the lead before our army moves again, or if defeated, we can escort His Majesty away!"
"Yuan Aiqing, what do you mean by this?" Ji Chunjiu's face was slightly cold.
Yuan Yi, Eunuch Hu and others hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I know my mistake!"
Ji Chunjiu sighed: "I no longer seek a great victory, only a backup plan. Attacking quickly, you and others only saw that the Western Qin army had the upper hand, but they did not know that both armies were exhausted. At this time, the backhand attacked first and could defeat the Western Qin army in an instant. By then, he would have a backhand, and our army could also Slowly retreat, step by step, win without a fight, damage the morale of Western Qin, and wait until tomorrow to fight again!"
Yuan Yi and others looked at each other and thought... it makes sense!
