Chapter 1009: That hard-working...old dog
The first contact between the two armies was their respective central armies, which were the most powerful.
The knights on both sides have distinctive armor, especially the knights at the forefront. As the tip of their respective spears, they need to have the words "invincible" written directly on their faces.
In his early years, Zheng Fan saw that Li Fusheng liked to take the lead, and he felt that Li Fusheng was too impulsive. As a general, he should stand on the overall situation and take charge of everything;
Same So in the early years, when Zheng Fan saw King Jingnan taking the lead in charging, he thought in his heart that you were relying on your own good martial arts, a peak martial artist, and the brave man under your crotch to swing forward, making you look like an enemy of thousands of people;
When the little defender who was accustomed to silently lagging behind in the early years gradually grew up, he discovered... In fact, when the two sides ended the previous series of transitions, setbacks, and foreshadowing, they began to show the most primitive When fighting against each other, the general has no other commanding role;
The victory of life and death depends on this tremor. It is better to lead the army to the front, boost morale, and then make noise for the next battle. layer.
The same thing will naturally have different understandings depending on the environment and structure you are in.
Although for a long time, Zheng Fan has been accustomed to using his commander's flag or king's flag to position the center of the Chinese army's formation, giving full play to the aura effect of his morale increase,
But in the last round of the decisive battle between Yan and Chu that took place in Shanggu County,
The prince couldn't hold on anymore,
he simply pulled the king's flag and led the charge.
Of course, for these young generals, they certainly do not have as rich "thought changing experience" as their own princes.
What is innocence and what is polished? What is innocent and what is polished. ...They haven't reached this point yet, or they have completely chosen to skip;
In short,
When they saw Zhenzhang,
they felt that they should stand here, stand here, and rush here.
The horses' spears penetrated the armor, and arrows flew across the sky, hitting the horses and knights continuously;
From an absolutely materialistic point of view, the knights on both sides were already considered the most precious in both countries. "Class", their food, clothing, armor and equipment, all have one word written on them... expensive.
But this kind of "expensive" seems particularly cheap at this time.
Chen Xianba's horse broke after overturning three knights, and then he let go and pulled out his two meteor hammers;
To deal with these armor-clad opponents, blunt weapons are often more effective. It's effective. One hammer at a time. It doesn't matter if it can't break your armor. I'll just hammer it into place for you. He suffered internal injuries, so at this moment, he was like the god of death coming;
He enjoyed this feeling very much, leading the army to kill, especially rushing towards an unpredictable fate. This kind of killing with his own strength. The process of tilting the scale of victory to his side is what he is most obsessed with.
He... is a born strong man.
Zhong Tianlang's spear was also full of blood. As far as his eyes could see, he saw the Yan Army general in the distance. Unfortunately, the distance was too far and he could not face him.
When they first charged and collided, Zhong Tianlang felt a little uneasy, but after the collision, he was very happy;
The Daqian cavalry that he personally trained was not at a disadvantage at the beginning. Instead, they were evenly matched with the Yan army.
This means that
more sufficient actual troops, more adequate food and wages, more sufficient war horses, armor, weapons and other subsequent supplies are indeed enough to create a The real elite exists;
Everyone knows that Daqian is rich,
But anyone can laugh at Da Gan's weakness.
The wealth that can be done is not in the people; the luxury that can be done is not in the army.
In this confrontation, Zhong Tianlang saw hope. He saw that Ganren's cavalry could be on an equal footing with the Yan army's cavalry. You must know that this Yan army is the Jindong cavalry!
It is in this hope,
Although after the initial close match, the Yan army knights relied on their richer experience and more exquisite practicality to plan and cooperate. Step by step, we are taking the battlefield pattern back into our hands with an attitude visible to the naked eye...
But Zhong Tianlang still doesn't think it's anything embarrassing.
They are elites who have fought through hundreds of battles. They are truly hardened iron. They can fight, endure, and persevere. This is as it should be.
But as long as Daqian is still there and the people in Daqian territory are still there, and if Zhong Tianlang is given another five years, he can build a hundred thousand or more Daqian cavalry. By then, the battlefield pattern will not be that of his Yan. People have the final say!
As the first general to take the initiative to attack and detour in the Trilateral Council of the Qian Kingdom,
when he was young, Zhong Tianlang even led his army to enter the Yinlang County defense line,
He asked for directions to Zheng Shoubei himself, where Zheng Shoubei was.
He then went to Cuiliu Fort and asked where Cuiliu Fort was.
Although now that I think about it, it seems a little ridiculous, even a little silly. Silly,
but at the beginning, it scared the complacent Zheng Shoubei to the point where he trembled.
Even later, Zheng Fan, who was already the regent, commented on the few people who had been alongside him at that time. The young prince of the barbarians and the father-in-law had long been swept into the ashes, but he was very fond of the prince consort of the Qian Kingdom. Ye, I didn’t talk much about him.
From the collision to the fierce battle, the Qianguo cavalry began to gradually become exhausted without an obvious numerical advantage.
After the two sides staggered, divided, and strangled,
Zhong Tianlang had to issue a military order to withdraw his troops.
It is a withdrawal, not a defeat.
When the Ganjun retreated, they also ensured the basic organization and good morale, because they knew that there was a city behind them to protect them.
In addition, at the right time, Chen Xianba ordered to stop the pursuit, gather his troops and horses, and at the same time sent a message to the other two departments.
This was a very pure war,
There was not much sloppiness,
It was a straightforward fight,
One side lost, One side wins,
The losing side withdrew again, and the winning side did not choose to continue fighting.
Chen Xianba sat on the back of the Pi beast and put away his meteor hammer and hung it on both sides of the mount.
The progress of Gan Ren surprised him. At least in terms of the use and combat of cavalry, the Gan army in front of him was certainly not as elite as the Yan army, but it was much higher than the Chu army's cavalry.
In terms of losses, the Ganjun army must have suffered greater losses, but as long as they were not defeated and turned into a situation where the entire Yan army was chasing pigs, these losses were within the acceptable range.
Therefore,
The winning side just feels a little dry about winning;
The losing side is a little complacent, as if they have lost the present but won the future.
By the afternoon, the Yan army completed the merge.
Chen Xianba sat there and watched Tiantian and Zheng Man walking towards him.
Tian Tian was fine and had no injuries. Zheng Man had his armor removed and was bandaged.
Chen Xianba clenched his fists silently.
He really wanted to stage a "brother, friend and brother respect" for his two younger brothers at this time, but he held back.
And Zheng Man, when he came with Tiantian, learned about the beautiful misunderstanding that "you and I have nothing to offer", seeing Chen Xianba again was like a little quail meeting the unreasonable Ah Huang;
Shrinking his neck, dodging his gaze, he silently said to himself: Xian Ba, you must control yourself.
Tiantian is very excited because he won the battle.
And to a certain extent, he actually made no mistakes, because he was doing things in accordance with the highest instructions of his father;
However, his father could not make mistakes.
“Sit.”
Chen Xianba said.
Zheng Man sat down politely, and Tiantian also sat down.
Chen Xianba leaned forward slightly and said
"From now on, everything will be subject to our military orders. Who has any objections?"
Tiantian shook his head. , he had no objection.
Zheng Man nodded first, then immediately shook his head, and nodded again, indicating that he didn't either.
Chen Xianba said again:
"Next time we encounter this situation, the three of us, each belonging to the same army and horse, will still obey my orders without the exact king's orders. Who has any objection? "
Tiantian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head to indicate that he didn't.
Zheng Man stood up with a roar,
glaring at Chen Xianba,
Asked:
“What did you say!”
Chen Xianba stared back at Zheng Man, cracking his knuckles.
Zheng Man continued vigorously:
“That’s it!”
After losing Chen Xianba's "ungrateful" card, Zheng Man was really worried that Chen Xianba would take revenge and feed feces into his mouth overnight.
After all, it is the friendship that was born from being beaten since childhood. There is really no need to step down and give in.
Chen Xianba also directly exposed everything before and did not intend to continue pursuing it.
Because the source of everything lies in the prince’s empty tips bag that is almost free of charge,
But it is a "heinous crime" to criticize the prince at any time. Not to mention other people's reactions, even Chen Xianba himself can't get over it.
And after such an experience,
I defeated Qianjun and reversed the situation on the Jiangdong battlefield. Even if I was given full command from the beginning, I'm afraid that's all I could accomplish. situation.
After all, what I didn’t expect before was that this dry army cavalry could fight so well.
"The problem now is..."
Chen Xianba picked up a tree branch and scratched it on the ground.
“I gave up Menhai Town, and now I have driven the Prince Consort into Menhai Town. After this defeat, he will not dare to leave the city to fight again in a short time.
At the back, there are two groups of cadres and trash. According to what you said, these trash groups are very cautious.
In addition, there are two groups of cadres with a total of more than 10,000 people. The military cavalry is roaming outside, and I am afraid that they will soon find out that they have been tricked and need to come back for reinforcements.
Now that we have the momentum from our recent victory, we can continue to block the Prince Consort here, and we can do it. Worrying about us surrounding the area to help, even the rescue will be very cautious, and even the tactic of waiting on the turtle's shell
And it is difficult for us to leave calmly. "
Zheng Man nodded and said: "It's a pity that I didn't swallow him whole. "
Chen Xianba shook his head and said: "The bones are too hard to chew off.
The situation has changed. Before, it was the prince-in-law who tied us up;
Now, it is we who tie up the prince-in-law;
There is no way we can leave this prince-in-law here. Let’s pat our butts and head west. By then, we will be flanked.
In the end, they are still tied to each other,
So,
on the prince’s side,
what should we do? ”
On the city wall,
Zhong Tianlang had just inspected the wounded and promised rewards after the war. After boosting morale, Zhong Tianlang walked onto the city wall.
He did not think that the Yan army would attack the city, so he did not feel that he would be in any danger.
After losing the battle, he did not panic. The situation was still the same. His original mission was to block the Yan army in the three towns from crossing the river.
My fingertips rubbed the battlements,
He murmured:
“It’s very lively over there at Jinghai.”
…
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
The boulder , was thrown in, part of it hit the city wall, and part of it hit the city directly.
Even though the residents inside were all Gan people, the Gan army attacking the city showed no mercy at all.
For this big pocket, Ganren paid a huge price, not even hesitating to plunge Jiangnan into the flames of war, nor hesitating to let a huge gap appear in the northern defense line;
So, This time, they won't hesitate!
After the trebuchet was finished, Qian Jun launched the third siege of the day.
The regent's royal flag has been standing on the city tower, boosting the morale of the defenders. However, the regent himself is not on the city tower at the moment. He is in the house where he lived before.
Feeding the fish.
The blind man, Xie Yuan and other generals wanted to come to see him, but Zheng Fan ordered them to stop them.
But there is one person who is difficult for the guards to stop, and that is His Highness the Crown Prince;
Especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rarely said:
“I want to see my father.” When,
The personal guards could only withdraw and let them go.
There was a fierce fighting on the city wall outside, but here I was holding a steamed bun, pinching the crumbs, and feeding the fish. The corners of Zheng Lin's mouth twitched subconsciously.
When Qian Jun appeared on the outskirts of Jinghai City, Zheng Lin was thrown outside by his father to "preside over the situation."
In any meeting, the prince who should have been sitting at the head of the table was replaced by His Royal Highness.
His father had just thought about giving him a chance to follow Brother Tian out to fight, but as soon as his forefoot touched the ground, he immediately set him up as a puppet on strings... No , not even a thread!
"You are really in good spirits..."
While saying this in a mocking tone,
Zheng Lin watched his mother walk out with a fruit plate;
"I'm so excited...Dad."
"Haha."
Zheng Fan smiled and continued to feed the goldfish.
The fruit was cut and toothpicks were inserted. Moreover, his mother picked it up with her own hands and fed it to his father's mouth.
“It’s a little sour.”
Zheng Fan took the second bite and didn’t want to eat anymore.
"I was afraid that you would be in a bad mood, so I deliberately didn't pick anything sweet." Siniang smiled.
"If you're in a good or bad mood, don't delay eating or drinking." Zheng Fan said.
“Yes, a husband is a husband after all.”
Speaking, Siniang pointed to the fruit plate and said
“Son, eat it. "
"..." Zheng Lin.
Zheng Lin finally came over, picked up the fruit plate and started eating.
It was a bit sour, but not hard to swallow. As he ate it, Zheng Lin couldn't help but curse his father even more.
Finally, I finished eating and put down the plate.
“Dad, there’s a war outside.”
"I know."
Zheng Fan continued to scatter the crumbs of the steamed buns and said without raising his head:
"It won't be a problem to stay here for another seven or eight days."
Although there are not as many soldiers and horses in the city as the cadres outside, there are still more than 20,000 soldiers. If the city is defended well and there is no shortage of food and grass, the cadres can do nothing but grind.
This grind requires time, and even if you trade your life for a life, you have to hold your breath and change it slowly.
"But the situation won't last long."
"I know that too."
"You...don't you have anything you can do?"
Zheng Fan shook his head,
br>
But I seem to have thought of something again,
Said:
“Yes.”
“Yes?”
“Yes, in three days, you will go to the tower and sit under the king’s flag on my side. It’s just right. It can boost morale.”
“The trebuchets of Ganjun keep hitting them every day!”
"Did you kill someone?" Zheng Fan asked.
“Of course I’ll be stoned to death.”
“Well, in a war, other people’s sons can be stoned to death, but my son, Zheng Fan, can’t be stoned to death?”
"If I tell you to go, you go." Siniang said, "If you don't go, I will sew you on a chair."
"..." Zheng Lin.
Zheng Fan laughed and said: "When some time passes and the situation collapses, I will replace you. Think about it. Originally, everyone's expectations were on me. You go first. If it doesn't work, prove it." If you can’t do it, if I come out again, won’t everyone be able to ignite a new wave of hope?”
“This? Is this your strategy?”
“Isn’t it good?”
“Dad, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?”
“Tsk, what do you mean? , you, you can believe it, I really didn’t leave or arrange anything on purpose.”
"So dad, you are just feeding the fish here to appease the soldiers?"
"If you really want to appease the soldiers, you shouldn't secretly feed the fish here. Didn't I just say it? It's not that time yet."
At this time, a messenger came in and reported:< br>
"Report, Your Majesty, the flag of the Chu army has appeared in the south of the city!"
The royal imperial army in Mingsu City rebelled. This was something everyone had guessed, but here is the problem. Originally Everyone was just guessing, but there was some luck or something.
Even if it really doesn't work, even if you rebel, you can just sit back and watch the fight.
But now, the Chu army has turned against them, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the Jinghai defenders.
“Got it.”
Zheng Fan waved his hand.
"You already know?" Zheng Lin asked.
The fish in the pond seemed to have finally been fed to their full strength.
Zheng Fan clapped his hands and
said:
“What else?”
“I hope dad, you really have a way, otherwise... …”
Siniang raised her brows slightly and said:
“Otherwise?”
“I... can only try my best to protect my parents from the encirclement.”
>"Hehehe."
Zheng Fan laughed,
reached out his hand,
patted his son on the head;
"You can go with him to the south, mainly to the north..."
"Tongyancheng?"
"Yeah." Zheng Fan responded.
At this time,
Another messenger came over to report:
"Report, a group of Xie's light cavalry appeared in the north of the city, but before our army could respond, they were surrounded by The whole army was strangled and annihilated."
"Hahahahaha..."
Hearing this military report,
The prince laughed.
The slightly leisurely atmosphere created by feeding the fish before was gone at this moment.
Turn around, look at the empty fruit plate, and couldn’t help but say:
“You brat, I just ate them all and didn’t even leave any for you and me.”
"..." Zheng Lin.
"Husband, please wait a moment while I go get ready."
"I want to eat hot pot."
"Okay, okay." Siniang got up and went to prepare.
Zheng Lin still stayed where he was,
The prince was a little confused and said:
"The city has been besieged for such a long time, and there are not many fresh ingredients. Why, you also want to share your hot pot?"
"What do you mean? Why are you waiting? Son, are you so happy again, your appetite has improved?”
The prince put his hands on the belt of his python robe and said:
"That old dog of the Xie family, for Xie Yu'an's sake, will never choose to join forces with the Qian army like the Royal Forbidden Army before the Jinghai City is broken.
It can be said that everything is for his son. .
But look Look,
that old dog is so desperate now
He can still send people over, knowing that he is throwing firewood into the fire, and there will be no return, but he still wants to let us father and son. Two, hear this sound.
Do you know the reason? "
"He...he wants to win. "
"Hehehe, no, no..."
The prince lowered his body,
put his face in front of Zheng Lin,
Whispered:
"He not only wants to win,
he,
also wants to share the hot pot with us in the future." (End of Chapter)
