Chapter 313: Going out of the city to face the enemy

Now in this situation, he doesn't know what to do, kill these people, so how can he resist the Yu Dynasty army?

When King Zuo Xian was pondering, Zhong Shenxiu pleaded guilty, saying that he didn't expect such a mess, and this time the fault was on himself.

King Zuo Xian shook his head and told him that no one had expected this matter, and the current situation was not a matter of asking for guilt, but that the people in the city should be gathered together and ready to deal with the army of the Yu Dynasty.

After dawn the next day, King Zuo Xian and Zhong Shenxiu went out to gather the people of this royal court, and now they no longer believe in their subordinates, and they are worried that they will continue to make some moths.

The result of this convening made King Zuo Xian very dissatisfied, and many people in the city had a hateful gaze towards King Zuoxian's people, and this kind of gaze made King Zuo Xian secretly scold his soldiers in his heart, turning a good thing into a bad thing.

But now he is not easy to blame anyone, and when everyone arrives at the open space of the royal court, King Zuo Xian said to everyone: "Everyone, since Emperor Wei Wu set foot here, we have been enslaved by the Central Plains people for more than 500 years, and in the past 500 years, we have been like cattle and horses, allowing the Central Plains people to oppress. ”

"Back then, our ancestors crisscrossed the grassland. These Central Plains people can only pay tribute to us and pay tribute to us, what a glory and what a scenery it is. Ladies and gentlemen, don't you want to go back to that time? ”

Speaking of this, King Zuo Xian looked at the people around him, he originally thought that everyone would be inspired by him and cheered loudly, but now it is indeed very calm here, and there are some fears in peace. When King Zuo Xian saw this, he didn't know for a while whether he should continue.

Zhong Shenxiu nodded to King Zuo Xian at this time, and King Zuo Xian could only continue: "Everyone, we are being pressed now, all because we can't unite as one, if we work together, everyone, even if Yu Ting sends an army of 100,000, million, 10,000,000, 10,000,000, it will not be able to deal with us." ”

When Zuo Xianwang said this, it can be said that he was impassioned, but the response below was still mediocre, and everyone didn't seem to hear what he said.

This made King Zuo Xian very embarrassed, and his original tirade could only be turned into a few simple words in the end: "So I hope you can take up arms and assist me in fighting against Yu Ting." ”

After saying this, a commoner spoke: "King Zuo Xian, what can you do against Yu Ren? ”

After the man finished speaking, a civilian said angrily: "When the army of the Yu Dynasty arrived at the royal court, Qiu did not commit any crimes, but the army of King Zuo Xian, don't you know how many bad things you did yesterday?" ”

When the civilians finished speaking, there was a chorus all around, and they said that they had never imagined that it was not Yu Ren who would end up killing them, but their own people.

King Zuo Xian listened to them, his face turned pale, he was a little angry, he was ready to ask the soldiers to teach these people some lessons, but his reason told him that if he really did it, then there was really no way to undo it.

So King Zuo Xian had no choice but to say to them; "You should think more about this matter, if you really think that Yu Ren is a good person, then just wait, and when they destroy me, how will they deal with you."

King Zuo Xian left here angrily, and this time the conscription naturally did not succeed.

The Yu Dynasty did not give much time to King Zuoxian, and the next day, the Yu Dynasty army arrived at the royal court, when a light snow fell in the sky, and the soldiers of the Yu Dynasty also arranged their camps there in an orderly manner.

The first arrangement was to prepare the horses to resist the cavalry charge of King Zuoxian, and then the crossbowmen were ready to take position, and they would act as guards to prevent King Zuoxian's army from harassing them with cavalry.

King Zuo Xian also went to see it himself, and he watched from three hundred paces away as Yu Chao set up his tent and then began to light a fire.

Naturally, he didn't charge blindly, he knew that the real decisive battle would be tomorrow's battle.

King Zuoxian's own soldiers recuperated and waited for tomorrow's battle.

At night, King Zuo Xian couldn't sleep, and he repeatedly drew on the map, studying what tactics to use tomorrow.

He knew that the army of the Yu Dynasty was also all cavalry, and this was a duel between cavalry and cavalry.

In this environment, the cavalry is not very effective, after all, there is snow on the ground, which hinders the mobility of the cavalry.

So tomorrow he is ready to wait for work, first let Yu charge the army, and then act on his own.

When it was time for the third watch, Zhong Shenxiu arrived, saw that King Zuo Xian was arranging there, and said to King Zuo Xian: "King Zuo Xian, it's not too early, you are the commander, you should rest early." ”

"Now that the war is coming, how can I sleep? Mr. Zhong, look at the battle tomorrow, how should you deal with it. ”

"I think that the advantage of the Yu Dynasty is that it has many soldiers, but the disadvantage of the Yu Dynasty is also obvious. There is no room for fifty or sixty thousand cavalry to fight here, and I think the Yu army should respond with ten thousand cavalry, and these ten thousand people will rush back and forth with us, and exhaust our vitality with wheel warfare. ”

King Zuo Xian nodded, and Zhong Shenxiu continued: "There is also the knight on the opposite side, we have no way to deal with such a knight now, I once tried, I used an armor-piercing arrow to wade through a person, and only a white spot was left on it, and if I wanted to shoot and wound, it was not a simple matter." ”

King Zuo Xian nodded, he heard that after the Yu Dynasty went west, the plate armor of Xirong was also integrated into it, and now the armor of a knight cost no less than a thousand taels of silver.

So even if it was the Yu Dynasty, there was not so much money to equip all of them, only a few hundred, so these more than 100 were transferred from all the mounted knights in the north.

King Zuo Xian asked Zhong Shenxiu if there were any shortcomings in this knight, but he didn't believe it, this knight was perfect and unbreakable.

Zhong Shenxiu said that only heavy weapons such as armor-piercing axes or armor-piercing hammers can be used, but there are too few such weapons in the Di people, and even if they can be changed one by one, they still have an advantage over the masked knights.

King Zuo Xian said yes and told Zhong Shenxiu, but they have an advantage now, there is snow on the ground, and if the knight is dispatched, it is easy to fall into the mud, and he is not very flexible, so after he falls in, he can't move even more.

Cavalry that can't move, then there's nothing to fear.

Zhong Shenxiu said yes, this can be regarded as the immortal heaven blessed the Di people, so it rained such a heavy snowfall.

Zhong Shenxiu continued: "Now how should we deal with Yu Ting's wheel tactic? After all, we soldiers are not iron-clad. ”

King Zuo Xian said that they could only wait for their work and use the least amount of physical strength to annihilate the enemy, so that the Yu Dynasty might have lost confidence after the second 10,000-strong cavalry came up, and they could continue to repair at that time.

Of course, if the Yu Dynasty continues to urge, they can only grit their teeth and persevere, as long as they don't collapse, then the Yu Dynasty will naturally collapse.

So King Zuo Xian said his tactics on the map, Zhong Shenxiu listened there, and when King Zuo Xian finished speaking, Zhong Shenxiu said that this tactic was very good, and it was very likely that the Yu Dynasty would be defeated tomorrow.

Next, they discussed for a long time, and when the rooster crowed, King Zuo Xian asked the guards to bring hot water, washed his face, and then drank a cup of strong tea, and then put on his armor and let the soldiers get up to eat.

When breakfast had been eaten, they went out of their tents and lined up outside the royal court.

King Zuo Xian told his army about his plan, and to their surprise, the Yu Dynasty also lined up, but there was no cavalry, but a group of infantry, and a hollow phalanx was arranged.

King Zuo Xian looked at this situation and wondered in his heart, he could see that there were obviously war horses in the opponent's camp.

King Zuo Xian didn't know what Yu Chao was thinking in his heart, but he thought that this was an opportunity to inspire people, so he proudly said to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone, the Yu army is already afraid, this victory is ours after all." ”

The soldiers cheered and prepared to teach the Yu Dynasty army a lesson.

Although this morale was inspired, it was not the right opportunity for King Zuo Xian, and King Zuo Xian was naturally unwilling to withdraw so easily, so he asked a commander to go to find out the details.

The commander led his men up, and at two hundred paces the crossbowmen in the hollow phalanx did not shoot, so the commander continued to charge.

But when he rushed into the hundred steps, the commander sensed that something was wrong, and the ground was slippery.

He was amazed at the thickness of the snow and the coarse cloth on the horses' hooves.

This good riding skill can still be controlled, and the bad riding skill slides directly to the ground, and then is trampled by the cavalry behind.

While they were in turmoil, the Yu Dynasty's crossbowmen began to shoot, and the commander naturally led the men back.

Yu Chao began to slowly advance the soldiers, pushing forward like an iron wall.

This time, the Yu Dynasty dispatched a total of three phalanxes, which became the shape of a pinzig.

Seeing them advancing, King Zuo Xian had no choice for a while.

If this is to rush this formation, this formation is too thick, and if it is said to be around, these armies will have time to adjust.

King Zuo Xian thought about it, and in the end it was absolute, shoot first, and consume the soldiers of the Yu Dynasty, otherwise these people are approaching, and it will be difficult for him to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry at that time.

King Zuoxian sent out five thousand men and began to shoot at the opposite side, but these people were all cavalry, they were all wearing light armor and helmets, and the archers in the middle of the square also shot arrows to deal with them.

One of the two sides shoots an arrow immediately and the other shoots an arrow on the ground, and the accuracy is naturally different.

However, even if it was two for one, the number of people in the Yu Dynasty also had an absolute advantage, and King Zuo Xian watched the soldiers continue to fall, so he ordered these people to come back.

And Yu continued to advance over there, this time advancing, the three phalanxes had changed, and the phalanxes in the back ran to make up for the losses of the phalanx in front.

"We're like turtle hunting now." King Zuo Xian said unhappily, he was naturally unhappy with such a battle, and the Yu Dynasty was slowly approaching with the large number of people.
