Chapter 341 Strong wind!
What people fear most is actually the lack of hope.
At first, the Marquis of Jingnan Zhenbei led the elite troops of Jingnan Zhenbei to enter the Jin Dynasty. They fought thousands of miles for ten days and defeated the main forces of the Wenren and Helian families. But in fact, you want to say that in these ten days, the two will be It is almost impossible to wipe out all the heritage of a large family as large as a country.
But that battle destroyed the pride of the knights of the Three Jin Dynasties and the morale of the local people. In the past, when the people of the Three Jin Dynasties faced the words that the Yan cavalry was the best in the world, they would often They don't take it seriously, they all think 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, the people of Jin were like the sky falling. They directly felt good about themselves before and turned into Yan barbarians. Invincible fear.
Next, half of the Jin city was determined by a message. Hundreds of Yan cavalry were able to make an emergency landing in a city. Thousands of Jin's defeated soldiers directly chose to abandon their weapons and surrender when faced with the pursuit of more than a hundred Yan cavalry.
I think that when General Zheng came to take charge of Shengle, he surrendered to the local wealthy family in Shengle with little effort, and asked him to help him clean up the city, and then opened the city gates to welcome his troops into the city. .
When a country or a political power is constantly winning battles and expanding its territory, everyone from the king to the people will be extremely arrogant.
The opposite of this state is that it is invincible.
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 savages' color change, nor did they fear the Chu people. Like a tiger.
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, serve as the king's vanguard, 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 would 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 hurt to lose once, but if you lose again, the problem may be big.
If Yan State wants to continue to maintain this kind of self-confidence and this kind of enthusiasm for foreign expansion and enterprising, this second time, it must only win but not lose!
The State of Qian is still building its troops, the State of Chu is still integrating its internal affairs, the desert barbarian king is old but not dead, and Dayan still has many foreign enemies, and it is 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.
Nan'an County's government office kills people in public, how high-spirited it is, and how cool it is to drink with that catcher;
Big words must be said, and at the same time, this matter must be done.
The commander-in-chief 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 his authority 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 the Jingnan Hou Junyi 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 is the people of Yan who have a very bad reputation among the people because they committed suicide,
After learning that Tian Wujing was in command for the second time,
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, we will 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.
Marquis Jingnan 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’s clever tips in advance, Marquis Jingnan always likes to use the method of peeling off cocoons to break the situation, 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 military morale fluctuate. Secondly, it is difficult to prohibit the mobilization at night.
But at this time, the Yan army's various units 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 under the leadership of the captain in front, his group of more than a hundred riders began to leave the camp.
Colleagues at the front are already laying the groundwork to cross the river. Straws, wooden boards 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 the Chinese army to cross the river the last time he stood 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 a large army to block the river, it will be easy for the Yan army to cross the river from other directions upstream and downstream. Make dumplings.
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 you, 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 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 padded with things to avoid slipping to the greatest extent. , 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 upstream position of Yupan City and began to form an array.
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. However, it was not until he actually went to the battlefield that he realized that no matter how mysterious it was, 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, and 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, several groups of five thousand soldiers and horses galloped 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 darkness and night not only makes it difficult for the enemy to grasp the situation in time, but even Ran Min, who is among the army, is not very clear about how many soldiers and horses have 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 army was in a vigilant formation. 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 and 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, there is no time to cook in the pot. They all prepare 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, the meat will satisfy their hunger. Secondly, anyone who has worked as a coolie knows that there is no oil, water or salt in their stomachs. I have no energy at all when I get up.
However, although there is no buried pot for cooking, there is still hot water boiled with a little salt in the hot water.
Ran Min ate quickly, and then found that Pao Ze next to 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 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 never eaten pork and have always seen pigs running away. 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 fight, how can we give you the time to pee and poop?
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 during the march. During breaks, we eat, drink, and have diarrhea together.
It may sound a little inelegant, but these details are the key to showing whether a military force is 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. .
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, clean your sword, mount your horse, and take over from the front!"
Ran Min mounted his horse again, carried the flag, and his troops were resting. After that, start switching defenses with the friendly forces in front.
Beside Ran Min,
Wu Zhang spat,
Said:
"Zhi Niang, the Chu people are shrinking, why don't the savages come to attack us?"
Ran Min hesitated for a moment,
whispered :
"I guess they won't hit us."
...
On the tower of Yupan City, Qu Tiannan’s handsome flag and family flag stood side by side. Qu Tiannan himself stood on the watchtower, looking at the Wangjiang River in front of him, and the view from Yupan City under his feet. There are a huge number of Yan troops in this area of Jiang.
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 behind the ice and snow in spring.
When the time comes, the navy crosses 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 and occupy this point, and then the barbarians would put pressure on the Yan people from outside. , each other’s horns.
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 not be able to defeat him. I would like to open the city gate and help rush forward, but if the barbarians don't move, the Chu army will naturally not move either.
However, looking at the Jingnan Army and the Northern Army outside the city,
Qu Tiannan had another idea in his mind,
Does Tian Wujing want to take a big gamble and get it done once and for all?
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?
Oh,
That savage Wang Gou Moli is not a fool either,
Why should he be forced by you to fight you?
At this thought, Qu Tiannan frowned slightly, and he suddenly thought of the savages' behavior in the east to isolate news.
Could it be that
something really went wrong in the east?
"Oh, that Yan Nanhou is really brave. Counting the Yan troops outside the city, it must be 80,000, and they are the most powerful towns of the Yan people. The Northern Army and the Jingnan Army, is the Nanhou planning to survive?
After struggling for so long, you finally came up with this idea? "
The young man lost a lot of weight. After eating "mutton" that day, he didn't eat for two days. He could barely drink some rice porridge on the third day. There was obviously less meat on his face. .
The sword maker stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the black patch of land in front of him. Armored Haiyang, after hearing what the young man said, laughed and said:
"No matter how many plans and tricks, in the end, don't you have to fight with a real knife? Although that Yan man Nanhou's move is indeed a bit radical, but it is hard to say who will lose and who will win. "
"It's hard to say. We just need to stay here. You don't know how strong this Jade City is. The Qingluan Army is the elite of our great Chu. The fourth brother once said that Qu Tiannan is the most powerful person. It's Fangzheng. In other words, this kind of city defense battle is most suitable for this Zhuguo.
Furthermore, there was an army of savages watching eagerly outside, and the Yan people simply could not attack the city wholeheartedly. "
While your attack on the city is in full swing, the barbarian army suddenly breaks out. Then all your previous efforts will be in vain.
The sword maker shook his head and said:
< br>"You can see the problem, why can't that Yan Nanhou see it?
In any siege battle, the usual approach is to use civilians to fill the holes and level the ravines, and then use auxiliary troops to lead the battle, consuming the city wall defense equipment, and then the real elites come up to try to open a breakthrough.
What the Yan people relied on was nothing more than the strength of the cavalry, but the cavalry had no temper at all during the siege.
Look now,
Counting the outside, there are nearly 100,000 troops, but the Jingnan Army is the main force to suppress the Northern Army. Do you really think that the Nanhou is coming to attack the city? Of? "
"Surrounding the spot for reinforcements? ”
The sword maker nodded.
"Then Gou Moli is not a fool. He will still jump into a pit that is obvious? As long as the Jade Pan City is not lost, we will stay until the spring. When the Wangjiang River thaws, I, the Great Chu Navy, will come 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 suffering!”
“That’s right. That's true, but how can things in the world go as planned?
On both sides of the Wangjiang River, hundreds of thousands of troops are confronting each other, and an astonishing amount of food and grass is consumed every day. In comparison, the Yan people are carrying In the Jin area, Yingdu still retains a team of officials that can still operate. Although it is extremely stressful to support the army, it is no problem to hold on.
On the other hand, our place has suffered so much. Even if we eat that mutton, how much can we eat?
And our Chu State sergeants 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 can you say that we are anxious instead? "
" Half a pound to eight ounces, let's fight each other. We are short of food here, but what the Yan people are short of is time. If we don't reverse the situation while Wangjiang is still frozen, wait until it thaws. , they are even more difficult.
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 the battle or not. Book. ”
"He is stupid. He has robbed enough and made a lot of money. Why do he have to come here to fight against the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army?"
The last battle at Wangjiang, the Yan Army was defeated miserably. , whether in the snowy plains or in the Chu State, what was propagated was that the Yan army suffered a disastrous defeat, tens of thousands of soldiers were lost, and the corpses looked across the river;
But this kind of news is nothing more than the two sides’ internal concerns about their own country. Publicity for the common people.
The real upper-level figures are clear. The Yan people's Left Route Army, which suffered heavy losses last time, is actually a mixture of the Yan people's local armies to form a military group that looks huge but is actually cumbersome.
The only ones who can really fight in Yan State are the Second Army of Zhenbei and Jingnan.
And now,
Looking at the armor below, watching the flags standing below, and the elites of the two armies gathered here, he remained stubborn. Would he dare to come here to touch them again?
Why touch?
Isn’t it good to be alive?
The sword maker pursed his lips,
Said:
“Unless there is a reason why we must fight.”
……
Although the Yan army crossed the river last night, such a large-scale military operation wanted to be concealed It is obviously impossible to get past the other party.
Not only did it immediately alarm the Chu army in Yupan City, but in fact, a barbarian army stronghold thirty miles north of Yupan City also received the news early.
Although the front line of Wangjiang has been peaceful these days, the fighting between the scouts and sentinels on both sides has been raging. Every day, more than a hundred sentinels and rangers from both sides died in battle. In the face of the huge size, it is obviously difficult to overcome the loss of sentry knights.
When the Yan people crossed the river, the barbarians not only sent out sentries, but also used three thousand captains to spy on the Yan people and the situation under Yupan City.
However, without receiving the formal war order from the Savage King, these captains only drove away the Yan people’s outposts, walked around, and responded to the Yan people. He left immediately before the cavalry came after him.
In the afternoon, the Yan army began to attack the city.
The siege rams, siege towers, etc. were pushed under the city wall. The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army carried ladders and began to attack the city.
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 had seen the scene of siege. The soldiers of the Yan army on the siege tower and arrow tower used their bows and arrows to try their best to suppress the Chu army on the city wall, and the Chu army's counterattack was 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 his sword, and rushed forward following Pao Ze's shout.
After crossing the ravine, Ran Min and several Pao Ze carried the ladder first. In front of him, there were shield bearers responsible for protecting him. Even if the archers behind him threw themselves on the city wall and were shot by the Chu army's arrows, You should also try your best to shoot arrows in your field of vision to cover your friends in front.
Life 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 with gold.
The Yan army on the city wall began to retreat in an orderly manner. Ran Min did not hesitate, threw down the ladder, and then put the man next to him who was shot by an arrow on his shoulders, and began to fly towards him. Running 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 was withdrawing his troops, a group of Yan Army crossbowmen were already ready. Under a round of projectiles, the Chu Army sword and axemen who tried to take advantage of this opportunity to get out of the city fell a lot, and had to Withdrew into the city again.
The siege was lively 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 team leader'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.
“Hehe.”
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 fun to take two sips. Others still want it."
Ran Min took two sips. When he took the first sip, he swallowed it directly. The second sip lingered in his mouth for a long time.
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:
" What about others?”
“Our team is missing two people today”
...
On the wall of Yupan City, Qu Tiannan was 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 and Jingnan Second Army are not here for us. They are waiting for the savages to rescue us."
"That savage king is like an old fox. Although the character is usually shameless in front of us, he is really not simple."
"So, this is what I feel strange about, why is Marquis Jingnan of Yanren doing this? , he concluded that the savages would not be able to wait, and took the initiative to seek a decisive battle with him? "
"Dongmian, is there no news yet?"
"Not back yet, but it should be soon."
"Zhuguo, maybe when the troops who went out to explore come back, we will know what happened in the east."
"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."< br>
“Can he withdraw?”
“Sir, you don’t know the direction of the wind during large-scale cavalry battles. If the Savage King really wants to withdraw, he will see Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army during the day. Having already crossed the river, he led the main force to withdraw eastward. Even if he did not retreat directly to Snow Customs, but moved eastward, I would not be so entangled and confused.
Today, he did not withdraw. If he wanted to withdraw tomorrow, the Yanren cavalry would directly attack 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 Nanhou of Yan, but the response of the barbarian king? "
"Yes, these inexplicable... beasts. ”
……
The biting cold wind kept scratching people’s faces, but for the savages, compared with the cries of the snowy fields, this cold wind was really nothing. What.
Several armies of savages outside began to assemble.
In the king's tent,
the Savage King stretched out his hand and rubbed his face vigorously,
licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue,
said:
"We cannot retreat, because there is no way out."
Before the generals below could speak, the Savage King continued:
"Grimu is dead, over there at Snow Customs, There has been no news of a breach. Don't think that if we withdraw our troops now and help attack the Snow Customs, we can quickly defeat it.
The Yan people on the opposite side, Nanhou, may be waiting for us to do this.
As soon as the army retreats, the Yan people will chase them. When I saw the Yan people's flag hanging outside Xueguan, my remaining energy was almost gone.
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, there are only two It’s hard to find foot sheep, and we actually can’t afford to wait.
The Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army crossed the river overnight. They were actually waiting for us.
The Marquis of Nan, who is from Yan, is issuing a challenge to me. He means that since no one can afford to wait, it is better to have a good fight. ”
At this time, a savage general stood up and said:
"King, in this case, let's fight him. The Yan people are still superstitious that their cavalry is invincible, so let's let them Look, the saint warriors 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 their Yan people's spirit in Yupan City first?
The Yan people's Zhenbei The Jingnan Second Army is their real elite. They will be frustrated under the Yupan City for a few days. When the decisive battle comes, it will be easier for us to take action."
Sang Hu's status was very high, and what he said was very reasonable. It was a good deal to use the Chu people's lives to sharpen the Yan people's spirit.
The other radical savage generals could not say "no" to this measure. After all, everyone still cherished the lives of their warriors.
The Savage King smashed his mouth,
shook his head,
said:
"The news cannot be blocked for too long."
This is the real key to the problem.
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 tribe.
They were originally connected to the mother tribe in the snowy plains. If they plundered 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 make this place the same way the Yan people supported Situ Yu. The regime provides itself with a steady stream of blood transfusions.
The Yan people on the opposite side don’t have to worry about food, grass and equipment, because the spring plowing and autumn harvest on the opposite side have been carried out this year.
But the Savage King has no choice,
Rather than saying that he is a king,
it is better to say that
he is the leader of the alliance between the most powerful tribes in the snowfield.
After entering the customs,
he could no longer control the savage army to plunder,
Even if you know that this kind of behavior is fishing for nothing.
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 a truth that has remained unchanged in all walks of life since ancient times.
The people of Chu were even more ruthless and directly drove Situ Yi's small court out of Yupan City. It was a pseudo-dynasty, but it was treated as a joke and the capital was moved. The legitimacy and legal rationality were instantly lost.
Situ Yi was completely ruined.
Furthermore, the savages are really afraid of poverty. When they see good things, food, supplies, and people, they all move home.
In the end, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t even satisfy my basic food rations!
What the hell is this?
But to be honest, the Savage King also knew that this could not be completely blamed on them, because even though he kept saying that the land under his feet was the homeland where our holy race thrived and lived in the past, in fact On the road, he was also prepared to retreat back to the snowfield at any time.
Keeping the green mountains without fear of running out of firewood is enough this time, and it has even been doubled countless times. When I return to the snowfield, my prestige will completely crown me the co-owner of the entire snowfield.
His power will be further strengthened, and many tribes throughout the snowfield will surrender under his feet.
I thought so, and the leaders and generals below naturally thought so too. Anyway, if it didn’t work out, they would just go back to the snowy plains, so I hurriedly transported the looted things back, for fear that it would really happen. When it was time 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 great pattern. But after entering the customs this time, he found many People have changed and become a bit strange.
Including some,
At this time, he was a direct general who was qualified to sit in his handsome tent.
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,
said:
"We are in danger now, really dangerous, but the more At this time, the less we can show fear.
When dealing with wolves in the snowfield, we all know the truth, that is, the more you show fear in front of the wolves, the more the wolves will become afraid. I will bite you to death!
That Marquis Nan from Yan must have guessed that there was a problem behind us. No, I even think that the loss of Xueguan Guan was probably arranged by Marquis Nan from Yan. It was part of his plan!
He is seeking a battle with us, and he firmly believes that his elite cavalry from the Yan Kingdom can defeat us in a field battle.
He was wrong,
He was really wrong! "
"King, fight! ”
"Fight, king!"
"Yes, teach the Yan people a lesson again!"
The generals clamored to fight.
The Savage King raised his hand,
For a moment,
Everyone was silent.
“Heh.”
The Savage King laughed,
raised his head,
clenched his fists,
Said:
"If he wants a decisive battle, I will fight with him. All the tribes will start preparing immediately tonight. At dawn, it will be the time for all my troops to cross the river!"
"Cross the river!" ?”
“Not going to Yupan City?”
“This...”
The Savage King stood up and
said loudly:
"Nanhou of the Yan people wanted to use his most elite soldiers and horses to fight against my holy warriors, but I couldn't do what he wanted. He If the Yan army can cross the river, our holy warriors will naturally be able to cross the river
Tomorrow morning,
our army will cross the river,
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 the spring begins?
Okay,
then I will completely smash this plate. rotten! ”
Sang Hu opened his mouth and 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 are cautious in using their troops, they will not fail to see what we want to do. As long as we cross the Yangtze River and advance to the west,
Qu Tiannan will definitely drag the two elite Yan people, the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army outside Yupan City, at all costs.
After attacking 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 Cheng Kingdom, and even the entire Jin Kingdom, will become a world where my saint warriors can gallop!
Tomorrow,
As long as we win,
Then the Yan people
will welcome their second defeat at Wangjiang!
When the time comes,
it won’t be that the Yan people want to expel us,
what Nanhou should think more about,
How to lead his troops and retreat safely to Yan State! "
The Savage King gasped for air,
his face became even redder,
"The Nanhou of Yanren dares to make a big bet, so I, the king, will play with him. A bigger one! ”
