Chapter 9: Losing Both
Chu Yi and others were introduced into the tent.
Marshal Wang Ling, deputy marshal Liu Qiu, military advisor Liu Chi and other southern Xinjiang giants personally greeted each other, and everyone complimented each other for a long time and sat down.
"Victory in this battle! All the king's work is also far away! Wang Ling nodded to Chu Yi with great satisfaction, and said encouragingly, "This handsome man will definitely ask His Majesty for Jun Yao!" ”
"Thank you, Marshal!" When Chu Yi heard this, he also hurriedly said in his spirit.
Hu Che'er and Shanying on their sides were still a little absent-minded.
Xi Zhicai came out and said: "My general just fought against Meng Wu's ......"
"Oh, Jun Yao, let's go back to the camp to rest first, and then discuss the pursuit of the barbarians tomorrow. Now that the barbarian people have lost most of their grain and grass, it is no longer enough to return to Nanling, even if Meng Yu and Liu Jiang have the talent to go through heaven and earth, they can't conjure up grain and grass out of thin air. ”
At the mention of Liu Jiang, Wang Ling said hatefully, "I don't want Liu Jiang to be like this!" No matter how much Your Majesty is, you can't help the barbarians to attack the Heavenly Desolate State! ”
Liu Chi on the side listened, lowered his head a little ashamedly, and was silent.
Not long after Chu Yi came to Yisang County, he also knew about Liu Jiang from the mouths of some generals.
Liu Jiang was originally a member of the Liu family in the capital, and he was also the cousin of Liu Chi, the military advisor of the Southern Xinjiang Army.
Since childhood, he has been smart and astute, reading poetry and books, learning the art of strategy, and learning to become a literary and martial artist, and the emperor's family.
However, Liu Jiang's personality was upright, and when he saw that the prime minister Wang Lu was in power, framed Zhongliang, and exploited the people, he wrote to Emperor Yong'an, scolding Wang Lu, and also faintly revealed his dissatisfaction with Emperor Yong'an.
Emperor Yong'an is not a Ming monarch, where did he get so many measurements, even if Long Yan was furious, he cut Liu Jiang and exiled him to southern Xinjiang, which was still barren at that time!
Liu Jiang was also a young man with strong blood and blood, how could he be so insulted, and it didn't take long for him to leave Liu Chi's mansion that took him in and rode towards Nanling alone.
And Liu Jiang does have some talents, after contacting Meng Yu, the barbarian king of Nanling, he repeatedly offered plans to suppress the major barbarian kings of Nanling, making Meng Yu's strength stronger and stronger, and becoming a new generation of Nanban kings.
Meng Yu fought with the Southern Xinjiang Army, and often suffered the losses of fighting formations and fighting plots, and when he saw that Liu Jiang had such a talent, he worshiped him as a military advisor.
Taking advantage of the rebellion in the northern frontier of Dayong, and the surprise attack on Tianhuangzhou, although in the end it was blocked from going down the road and failed to succeed in the attack, it also took most of the territory of Huangnan County, opened the road to the north, and obtained countless grains and grasses.
The barbarian soldiers have more and more respect for this military advisor!
The next day, three strokes on the sun, silver light sprinkled on the ground.
Chu Yi turned over, grabbed the fine iron halberd on the table, and went out of his account to practice the basic halberd method of "Devouring Heaven and Earth Halberd Method" on the roughly built martial arts training ground.
This "Heaven Devouring Halberd Method" is a secret book that Chu Yi extracted from the chaos roulette, the name is very domineering, but the lethality contained in it is also worthy of its name, but Chu Yi has practiced hard for ten years, day and night, and he can still only use the basic halberd method in it, and it is difficult to improve to a deeper level.
Although it is said that the basic halberd method of "Devouring the Heaven and Earth Halberd Method" is concise and easy to understand, and when it is practiced to the peak, the lethality of one stab and one slash is also good, but it is okay to deal with some unknown generals, and against characters of the level of Meng Wu and Liu Kun, they can only be killed in seconds.
Chu Yi was very dissatisfied, thinking that his life as a soul of reincarnation could not be limited to this?!
The halberd, the tyrant of a hundred soldiers, is top-heavy and very difficult to master, fortunately, Chu Yi has practiced the basic halberd method of "Devouring the Heaven and Destroying the Earth Halberd Method" since he was a child, and now his arms are powerful and his breath is long, so that the fine iron halberd is also handy.
Chu Yi's halberd is powerful, the wind is loud, after practicing a set of basic halberd methods, just seeing Xi Zhicai, the two went to the school field to watch Cao Chun train soldiers.
Walking on the platform, looking down from afar, the four thousand elite soldiers all held swords and shields, twisted spears and guns, and stood on the school field like a large piece of ants, with a solemn expression.
Cao Chun divided the 4,000 men into 40 square teams, each with 100 people, and under the leadership of the team, they either charged with guns or defended with shields.
There are archers standing within 100 meters of the arrow target and taking turns to practice arrows, the bow is like a full moon, and the arrows are not in vain!
Only the cavalry was personally trained by Cao Chun, who sometimes practiced the art of controlling horses, and sometimes practiced the art of charging and chopping!
Ho!
Ha!
Chu Yi listened to the neat shouts of the four thousand people, and only felt a sense of arrogance rising to the sky.
And Cao Chun, who led the cavalry training, only found out about the arrival of his lord after being reminded.
Cao Chun shouted: "Stop!" ”
And he saw that four thousand men had gathered their swords and stood upright, like pine trees.
"Brothers, long time no see!" Chu Yi often shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and when he saw Cao Chun stopping, he was not hypocritical, and said in a loud voice.
"Chief!"
Most of the people cheered in unison, they were all descendants brought by Chen Bei from Chen County.
A small number of recruits just looked at their own general curiously, this young young general, now a partial general, has a lot of fame in the entire southern Xinjiang.
"I just want to say, to be my soldier, you have to believe in yourself! If you ask who is the hero and who is the hero, don't brag in front of others, it's better to compare and look on the battlefield?! ”
Many rookie soldiers were red with excitement, they were soldiers, they just wanted to eat and survive in this troubled world, how could they have been seen by those high-ranking generals?
Human nature is simple, and four thousand good men are willing to shed blood for their generals!
"My lord, the marshal ordered someone to summon you to go to the Shuai's tent to discuss the matter of pursuing the Nanban." The drama on the side came over.
Chu Yi nodded, and left the school with Xi Zhicai, as for Hu Che'er and Shanying, the two personal guard commanders, they were left in the school by Chu Yi.
Shanying was angry because he failed to hit Huanying with several arrows in a row last time, and pulled Hu Che'er, who was also not good at archery, to ask Cao Chun to practice archery in the school field.
Chu Yi entered the tent and met the generals and colonies that he was already familiar with, and greeted them one by one.
When they came, Marshal Wang Ling said: "After making a report, the barbarians ran out of food, Meng Yu listened to Liu Jiang's words, and ordered Liu Jiang to go to Nanling to transport grain, and on the other hand, after ordering Meng Wutong to command 50,000 elite soldiers, he led the infantry out of the camp and left.
Now just by breaking through Meng Wu's army, the defenseless Meng Yu's army can be slaughtered into chaos and collapsed. I don't know which general dares to be the vanguard and break that Meng Wu?! ”
After that, he looked at Chu Yi and Liu Kun
Chu Yi hesitated, and was about to clench his fists to ask for his life, but found a pair of sickly hands pressing on his shoulders, Chu Yi looked at it, and saw Xi Zhicai shaking his head.
Others couldn't see it, but Liu Kun, who was on Chu Yi's side, carefully discovered the difference between Chu Yi and Xi Zhicai, he originally wanted to give this credit to Chu Yi, so that Wang Ling could ask for a great credit for Chu Yi, but seeing Chu Yi hesitating, he was afraid that no one would ask for his life and make Wang Ling embarrassed, so he said: "The last general is willing to give it a try!" ”
Wang Ling saw that no one asked for battle anymore, so he had to say: "You can lead 20,000 cavalry from the headquarters and 35,000 cavalry from the deputy commander's department, don't necessarily repel Meng Wu and catch up with Meng Yu!" ”
Liu Kun received the military order and strode away.
"I am afraid that Meng Yu will be deceived by the old thief, and the rest of the generals and colonels will lead the army out of the city with this commander to meet General Liu Kun. The defense of the city is tired of the deputy marshal. ”
After Wang Ling finished distributing the task, he ordered the general to gather soldiers, a total of more than 100,000 cavalry, opened the south gate, covered the field with flags, and led the army to the barbarian village
Because Chu Yi's troops attacked the barbarian camp yesterday and made great contributions, Chu Yi did not participate in the battle on the grounds of fatigue, and Wang Ling did not care about the thousands of tired divisions of Chu Yi's department, so it was good to stay in the city to help defend the city.
Xi Zhicai's original intention was to let Chu Yi not go to war, but Chu Yi didn't want to miss this epic battle, and was also worried that Liu Kun would be difficult to defeat Meng Wu, so he led more than 100 people with Hu Che'er, Cao Chun, and Xi Zhicai, and followed Shuai Qi to the barbarian village!
Yisang County is not far from the barbarian village, and Chu Yi has just passed the south gate when he hears the shouting of killing that rises into the sky, and a fishy smell begins to fill the air.
Chu Yi and his entourage broke away from the army, rushed to the front, and when they got closer, they saw the soldiers and horses of the two sides of the decisive battle, fighting bloodily in the wasteland.
Generally speaking, the Southern Xinjiang Army had the upper hand because Wang Ling was good at training soldiers and knew the battle formation, and the soldiers cooperated to kill the barbarians with low morale and retreated, but the duel of the main general made Chu Yi worried.
Chu Yi, who had already entered the battlefield, stabbed out with a halberd, cleanly and neatly, and dropped a brute general off his horse.
"Zihe!" Suddenly, Chu Yi's face sank and he shouted.
Cao Chun, who was fighting with Chu Yi next to him, saw Chu Yi's expression, and after a little thought, he understood, looked at one place, and saw that it was thrilling, so he hurriedly hung up his spear, and took off his bow is an arrow.
Meng Wu danced with a fifty-pound broadsword, and fought with Liu Kun, and the two fought for 30 rounds, and Liu Kun had already fallen behind.
After another twenty rounds of fighting, Liu Kun has no power to fight back, but Liu Kun is willing to be injured or even die in battle!
However, Ren is Liu Kun fought desperately, but he was still not Meng Wu's opponent, only to see the sword flash, Liu Kun had no power to slow down, and it was difficult to be caught off guard.
Phew-
At this time, a sharp arrow came from a distance, and with strength, it missed the big knife, which saved Liu Kun from a difficulty.
On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly.
Wang Ling, who was in the rear, could no longer hold his breath, thinking that Meng Yu had really retreated, so he led the generals of Southern Xinjiang to take the lead, like a sharp arrow, and rushed to the barbarian formation.
The southern Xinjiang army was huge, and with Meng Wu's 50,000 barbarian soldiers, it was really unable to resist it, and it began to collapse.
At this moment, Meng Wu gave up and rushed up to kill Liu Kun, and shot an arrow into the sky, and a loud bang resounded.
The flag waved, the horse gave the order, and the shouts began to sound in all directions, which seemed to shake the entire sky to the ground.
"Not good!" Liu Chi, who was beside Wang Ling, was suddenly shocked, and said to Wang Ling anxiously, "This must be Meng Yu's failure to lose both, and also to weaken my strength in southern Xinjiang!" ”

Chu Yi recorded in this book: In the summer and April of the sixth year of Emperor Yong'an, the emperor followed the southern Xinjiang army that poured out of the nest to pursue the barbarian soldiers and horses who had run out of food, but he never thought that the barbarian king Meng Yu was ruthless, and he used Liu Jiang's plan to defeat both sides.
