This time he returned to the camp, which was completely different from yesterday's decadent anger, and Wei Chixin was in a good mood and rewarded each of his guards with 3,000 yuan, five pieces of wine, and ten brocades.

However, the two unlucky ones who were whipped were not in this case.

When Li Chong heard this, he was worried, and said to the strategists around him: "His Royal Majesty is not too harsh, but his qi cultivation is a little worse. At both ends of the world, the human heart is most likely to resent, but he is good at drinking, and I am afraid that the old story of Zhang Yide of the Three Kingdoms will be repeated in the present day......"

The strategist said: "Since the military master is worried, why don't you talk to the general of Xiaocai?" ”

Li Chong said helplessly: "Although I am trusted by the military commander and ordered to command the Luzhuang army, but the title of General Xiaocai is above me, my temperament is arrogant, and my family background is even more heroic, how can I humbly listen to my admonitions?" Yesterday, he also made a tactful temptation, but killed his lieutenant. Hey, the cavalry general must have misunderstood something, if he interferes again, he will be a mustard, and the battle situation will be unfavorable, so let him ......"

The main battalion of the Chu army.

Ming Jing had just arrived at the gate with twenty guards, and before he could untie his armor, he saw the man standing outside the door, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and saluted solemnly, saying, "Sacrificial wine is waiting for me?" But does the general have something to say? ”

"It's true that I was waiting for you, but the general didn't know I was coming."

Ming Jing muttered in his heart, both of them are Xu You's descendants, but his friendship with He Wei is really average, and it happened that today's battle was not good, what is the purpose of this military counselor who joined the military department is waiting here?

Fortunately, he didn't let him guess for too long, He Wei smiled and said: "We have received the battle report, and when we wait for the military meeting, someone may challenge you, General Ming must be ready!" ”

"I know!" Ming Jing said guiltily: "I'm embarrassed to the general, I don't need them to make trouble, I ask the general for ......."

"What crime please?"

He Wei's face was full of disdain, and he said: "How can there be a victorious general in the world?" Lost two or three battles, but when you are idle, you may not be able to catch up with you if someone else goes up. I'm waiting here, knowing that you will think so, Ming Jing, you have to let go of the distractions in your heart, but you can make a military order, and ask the general to fight again, just say that you will not be able to resist tomorrow, and you are willing to apologize with death! ”

"Huh?"

Ming Jing showed a hesitant look, of course he was not afraid of death, but he led his troops for two days, and he really had no face to continue to occupy the position of the striker.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Sacrificial wine, if I am cheeky, the general will definitely allow it, but I won't tell you that the Wei army in Luzhuang is still above our army when it comes to combat strength, and it has a favorable location, so I really don't know if I can conquer it tomorrow...... Death is nothing, but it hurts the general's wisdom ......"

"How can I let you kill yourself, let alone damage the reputation of the general!"

Ming Jing couldn't guess the idea in He Wei's stomach, and said, "Please make it clear with the sacrificial wine!" ”

He Wei smiled and said in a low voice: "Last night, I watched the long stars and the moon, so I started a hexagram, and it is expected that there will be a big change in the battle situation tomorrow. If you give up now, and others will take credit for the foundation you laid two days ago, will you be willing? ”

Ming Jing was dumbfounded when he heard it, is it such a child's play on military affairs? Look at the victory and defeat with hexagrams, this is the practice before the Spring and Autumn Period, He Langjun, you believe in the Book of Changes, but I don't believe it, what should I do?

"This ...... This ......"

The sweat on Ming Jing's forehead came out, and it was not so difficult to fight with the Wei army. He Wei squinted, his expression was indescribably funny, but his tone was full of irresistible temptation, and said: "Brother Ming, I have no grievances with you, and I can't harm you at this juncture." We are both prosperous and lossy, Luzhuang is not restrained, and tens of thousands of troops are trapped here, which is not a long-term solution. You have to believe me, and the meeting will make a military order no matter what, and rob the task of tomorrow's main attack, no matter whether you succeed or fail, I will ensure that you are safe and sound! ”

He Wei, as the military advisor of the General's Mansion, on identity, status, and intimate relationship with Xu You, are all under one person and above ten thousand, he said it to this point, Ming Jing was unwilling to get it, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Okay!" I listen to the sacrificial wine! ”

Sure enough, during the military discussion, someone finally expressed vague dissatisfaction with Ming Jing's command ability, the battlefield speaks by victory or defeat, Xu You can't deliberately favor, which is not to help him, but to harm him, muttering for a while, about to reappoint the forward commander, Ming Jing came out of the ranks, knelt on his knees, and said in a deep voice: "I wish to make a military order under the festival, give me another day, before dusk tomorrow, Bike Luzhuang!" ”

Xu You stared at him, his eyes were like electricity, and said, "There is no joke in the army, have you thought about it?" ”

Ming Jingyi did not hesitate and said, "Yes! ”

Seeing that Ming Jing had a will to die, everyone didn't say much, and many people slandered in their hearts, waiting to see how he ended. Xu You walked over and picked up Ming Jing with his own hands, picked up the iron knife at his waist, and sighed: "This knife has been with me for many years, and it often does not come out of the box, it is really tyrannical." Give it to the general today, and use it to drink the blood of the requirement, and try the blade again! ”

Ming Jing's heart was agitated, he took the sword with both hands, his tiger eyes were slightly moist, and said: "I will never live up to the high hopes of the general!" ”

Wait until dawn, the Chu army came to pull out the camp again, the two sides fought until the afternoon, it was difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat, they all thought that it was the end of their respective troops, but they did not expect the sudden change of wind and clouds, and the torrential rain poured like beans, and the ground instantly became muddy, which greatly limited the mobility of the Wei cavalry. At the same time, the water level of the Shahe River soared, overflowing the embankment, and there were signs of gradually submerging the Wei army camp from north to south.

Ming Jing was overjoyed, knowing that the great change He Wei said should be at this time, seize the opportunity and command the whole army to press. He was shirtless, personally led the team to charge, the Ming character handsome flag moved to the front, the morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted, everyone used their lives, broke through the steel camp defense built by the Wei army in one fell swoop, and successfully entered the Taibai array.

With Bao Zuo's last experience, Ming Jing had already prepared, the sword and shield soldiers were in front, and the long axe soldiers were behind, splitting the fences on both sides, expanding the opening line and a stable rear, and then burning the battle building with multiple rounds of rocket salvos, advancing steadily and steadily, breaking three battalions in an instant.

The Taibai Formation has a total of seventeen battalions, in the shape of six flowers, Ming Jing occupies three battalions, looking down from a high altitude, it is like picking the northwest petal of the six petals, which can simply force the obsessive-compulsive disorder to death.

The principle of all things in heaven and earth, the changes of yin and yang in Taiji, are all in the balance of the two words, the six petals are missing one, the whole array is crumbling, Ming Jing did not divide the troops to attack, but led the main force to the middle camp.

Li Chong's troops are at an absolute disadvantage, and can confront the Chu army for three days, relying on the mobility and deterrence of the cavalry, which will rain heavily, his own advantage will be lost, the water is surging, the camp defense is about to overturn, and when he encounters Ming Jing's first soldier, he understands that the general trend of Luzhuang has gone, and if he hesitates, the whole army will be annihilated, so he ordered Wei Chi Xin to lead more than 1,000 people to break off, he and Yan Lishi first retreated to Zhongmu.

Infantry combat is the strength of the Cuiyu army, the heavy gunmen rushed into battle, the left and right flanks were fired with crossbows, the light infantry was surrounded in a roundabout way, 30,000 people were like hungry tigers, and the momentum of the complete unfolding was simply a landslide, Wei Chixin only lasted two quarters of an hour, and suffered a rout on the whole line, more than 1,000 people were killed in most of the battle, and half were captured, he only brought more than 20 personal guards, and fled the battlefield in embarrassment.

Luzhuang's victory, on the one hand, temporarily gained the strategic initiative against the Wei army, and on the other hand, completed the small goal of gathering and destroying the enemy's living forces - the Wei army suffered as many as 5,000 casualties in this battle, which was one-eighth of the strength in Yuan Mulan's hands. You must know that this is in the occupied area of the Chu State, the vast majority of them are Han Chinese, and the people's hearts are in Chu, and the Wei army cannot carry out effective conscription and supply, and if one dies, one will be less.

Qi Xiao suggested that Ming Jing's forward army should not be repaired, and pursue it overnight in the rain, this pouring rain is the best cover, the enemy must be unexpected, those Wei army scouts who once obscured the battlefield information can not be dispatched, they can hit the enemy by surprise, if you are lucky, maybe you can decide the situation in a battle!

Tan Xiaozu strongly objected, he believed that Qi Xiao's approach was too risky, and if Yuan Mulan had an ambush on the way to Zhongmu, it was likely to repeat the tragedy of Quan Changyi. Compared with the Wei army, the Chu army is prosperous, and it only needs to fight steadily and steadily to be invincible, so why bother with the danger?

Due to various reasons, Zuo Yan rarely spoke during the military discussion, but this time he rarely expressed his approval of Qi Xiao, saying that the soldiers are expensive and fast, and the odds are compatible, and the fighters are fleeting, and they can't be held back because of the ambush that may or may not be, even if they take risks, they are worth trying.

He ended up this time, completely stabbed the hornet's nest, the generals of the Jingzhou department expressed their support for Tan Xiaozu, and the generals of the Qiantang department supported Qi Xiao, the tent was really clear, and the Chinese military department was silent next to him, originally some people did have their own independent views on whether to pursue or not, but now they can't speak, it's not right to support either side, just be a dumb person.

Zuo Yan actually didn't have any other thoughts, he just simply felt that Qi Xiao's proposal was very good, but he didn't expect it to annoy the Jingzhou department, and he immediately became restless, his eyes turned to Xu You, and he wanted to speak several times.

Xu You knew his personality too well, so he didn't think he was angry, and asked He Wei with a smile, "What do you think about sacrificial wine?" ”

The relationship between Tan Xiaozu and He Wei, many people don't know, but as a military advisor, he has a great say in the formulation of tactics, which can play a role in adjusting, said: "The pursuit is naturally the best policy, but the ambush soldiers can not be unguarded, my suggestion, two directions at the same time, one, Ming Jing led the forward army to advance overnight, and the mountain was also handed over to him for command, if there is no ambush, then immediately launch an attack on the enemy of Zhongmu, if it is an ambush, then the mountain is firmly guarded, waiting for reinforcements; Second, Pei Shuye and Tu Yuan each led 10,000 people, followed closely behind, ready to support the Ming Jing Department at any time; Third, Qi Xiao led 3,000 elites, died down, extinguished the fire and silenced, secretly detoured south, to the vicinity of Jiluo Mountain, if the enemy was found, he was not allowed to expose his whereabouts, and when they launched an attack on Mingjing, and the reinforcements of Pei and Tu had arrived, and then ...... from the rear flank"

He paused, his tone was unprecedentedly cautious, and said: "If Yuan Mulan ambushes the troops, Jiluo Mountain is the most likely ambush place around Zhongmu, this victory or defeat, General Qi is the key, remember, whoever discovers the enemy first will have a thirty percent chance of winning first!" ”
