Chapter 126: The Battle of the Dead

In the heart of General Che Li of Wei State, naturally there will be no empathy like Wang Jian. At least so far, the 50,000 Wei soldiers under his command have not suffered any losses. Although the demise of the eight thousand Qin cavalry made him feel a little anxious, after all, it was not his own army that was killed or wounded, and he would not be too sad.

"The general doesn't have to be too emotional. Fighting for the country will inevitably lead to casualties. Don't say it's them, even if we're generals, no one dares to guarantee when we'll be bloodied on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud! ”

Che Li's words to persuade Wang Jian were not casual perfunctory, but personal experience. Over the years, in several wars between Wei and other princes, several generals have died. While the Wei army achieved great fame, it also paid a great price for itself. Speaking of it at this time, even this murderous general can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Wang Jian nodded, signaling that he was okay and did not need to persuade him. Both of them are battle-hardened generals, and they have long regarded life and death as ordinary. After a moment, they all reined in their emotions. Let's talk about the upcoming Battle of Dragon City again.

"The dragoons stationed in Dragon City dared to travel so far to take the initiative to challenge our army. The general has no cavalry protection on his side, so he must strengthen some precautions. ”

"Don't worry about that. I have already sent an order to the armies to defend them as they march. The dragoons wanted to raid, but they couldn't. And as long as they show up, they don't want to get out of the way! On the Wei Wushu side, General Che Li still had to tell his soldiers not to be careless, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties. ”

"Huh! I really don't hide it from the general, I still wish they would come to attack Wei Wushu! However, there are only more than 10,000 cavalry, and if you want to compete with my 50,000 Wei soldiers, you are just asking for your own death! ”

"General Che Li, I still say the same thing, we must not underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Dragoon Army of Zhao State! King Zhao is dead, and at this time, the mourning soldiers are likely to be more difficult to defeat than usual. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how easily they could have wiped out my 8,000 cavalry...... Although Wei Wushu has the protection of the big shield Changge, he is still a little disadvantageous in terms of fighting against the cavalry! Alas, it's all to blame that I had been so underestimated that I had lost the only cavalry force, which made us too passive. ”

Wang Jian, as a battle-hardened general, understands the power of cavalry on the battlefield better than Che Li. Ever since the eight thousand Qin cavalry had been wiped out by the other party, he had already realized that he was likely to make a very important move. It's just that it's too late to regret it now.

"No matter how powerful the Dragoon Army of Zhao is, in the face of the overall advance of the 130,000 army, do they dare to take the initiative to pounce and provoke? Even if King Zhao is still here, he will never do such a reckless thing! Forgive me for my arrogance, no general throughout the ages has had such guts. That's an army of 130,000 people! Even if it is Shang Yunbai, who is known as the number one general in the world in your Qin State, does he dare? ”

When he said this, the Wei general seemed a little excited. Wang Jian looked at the smoke and dust raised by the marching army, the desert was flat, and the battle flag covered the sky and the sun, even the battlefield he once commanded had never been as grand as it is today. He couldn't help but nod slightly, and actually agreed with what Che Li had just said.

"Huh! If anyone really dares to do this, then he is either a fool who does not know life and death, or a military idiot...... In fact, the dragoons came here, and I am afraid they also checked the reality and the virtuality. If my guess is correct, they're probably hiding out of our sight and spying on the army's movements! It's just that they haven't thought that guarding the empty Dragon City, after they leave, won't they have no defenses at all? ”

"What do you mean by ......?"

"General Che Li, we're going to hurry up! Otherwise, the credit for ascending Dragon City first will probably be taken away by the Southern Han Navy in advance! ”

"What the general said is very true! I'm going to give the order and hasten the march...... It's just that the general has already received news from the Southern Han Naval Army? ”

Che Li asked casually, and turned his horse's head to return to Wei Wushu from the Chinese army. Wang Jian was slightly stunned, but Che Li's words inadvertently reminded him. Only then did he realize that since yesterday to now, he has not received any news about the Southern Han Navy at all. This is a very abnormal phenomenon!

"It's a little weird! Since entering the territory of Zhao State, we and the Southern Han Army have basically exchanged news every day...... But since yesterday there has been no news, and I do not know where they have marched. Could it be that there was some accident after the warship entered the Chu River? ”

Wang Jian has always been cautious, once he notices the abnormality, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong. Che Li's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Could it be that Bai Chu's guy didn't wait for us at all in order to snatch the credit, and he had already led his army to enter Dragon City first?"

Wang Jian glanced at him, shook his head and muttered: "No, although Bai Chu is anxious and good, this military operation was personally initiated by King Qin. Before the Southern Han Navy reached a common opinion with us, they would never dare to attack Dragon City without permission! I'm only worried about what other conspiracy Zhao will have! ”

"The general doesn't have to be suspicious. Regardless of where the Southern Han army is now! Our army immediately picked up speed, and in less than half a day, we could reach Dragon City. When the dust settles, Zhao Guo can destroy ......! ”

Che Li's voice was generous, as if victory was within reach. It's just that he hadn't finished his words yet, but suddenly he heard the sound of chaos in the rear army and began to sound. Then someone exclaimed loudly, it seemed that something important had happened.

In the middle of the Chinese army, thousands of horsemen surrounded. Wang Jian and Che Li didn't know what was going on for a while, and when they were about to hurriedly send someone to check, there were already henchmen around them pointing to the air and shouting in surprise.

"Look, General! Smoke rose from the rear, as if it was a fire! ”

When Wang Jian hurriedly looked back, he saw thick smoke billowing dozens of miles away, and it was obvious that the fire was not light. He couldn't help but be shocked, he was really afraid of anything! Ever since there was a shortage of grain and grass, he had been most worried about what would happen to the heavy transportation of grain and grass in the rear. Looking at the direction of the fire now, it is the makeshift hoarding camp. There must be no doubt that something must have happened there.

"Hurry up and send troops back to help the eldest prince! No matter what happens, do whatever it takes to keep the army's food and grass! ”

There was a general beside him who received the order, and was about to turn around and order his troops and horses to go back. However, at this moment, I saw a team of sergeants protecting the embarrassed son Nie Yunfeng and hurriedly ran over.

"Two generals, something is wrong! The cavalry of the Zhao State attacked the camp, and all the grain and grass transported from the rear were burned to the ground......! ”

Nie Yunfeng no longer has the temperament of a noble son at all. He chased after the army all the way, his whole body was exhausted, and he was so ashamed and angry that he just said a few words, and then he withered to the ground, panting heavily, and was really tired.

Wang Jian didn't care about anything else, he and Che Li jumped off the horse at the same time, grabbed the arm of the prince of Qin, and asked angrily.

"How is this possible! It's only been a little over an hour since the army left, so could it be that they've been hiding around there for a long time? Who did it...... What about our soldiers and horses? Don't you even have time to report for help?! ”

The unlucky royal son grinned in pain, and his arm was about to be pulled off by the second general. It's just that now is not the time to take care of face and identity, and the major events related to the life and death of the 130,000 army cannot be delayed for a moment.

"Don't ask so much! Hurry up and order the army to stop advancing and prepare for battle! They're coming, they're coming...... I can already hear their hooves! ”

Nie Yunfeng broke free of them and roared loudly, his expression a little hideous. A faint smile appeared in front of him when Chu Jiangmian asked him to leave, and he felt his body tremble for no reason.

"What? Prince, who is coming? Is it the cavalry of the Zhao State? Who are their generals...... Tell me! I'm going to cut off his head with my own hands! ”

Che Li raised his voice as he drew his sword. He really didn't understand what made this noble prince of the Qin State look so frightened before. Even if the cavalry of the Zhao State went to set fire to the grain and grass land, there was no need to be so panicked, right?

Wang Jian forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "The eldest prince is talking about the cavalry of Zhao State?" Can you explain that? ”

Nie Yunfeng took several deep breaths in a row, forcing himself to calm down, he stared firmly into Wang Jian's eyes, and said word by word.

"Take my word for it! The cavalry of the Zhao State who came was very powerful, and it was personally led by the legendary prince Chu Jiangmian. Not only did they burn our grain and grass, but the Southern Han naval army had already been defeated at their hands. He asked me to pass on a word...... The Zhao army will attack immediately, and if the general can order the whole army to lay down their weapons and surrender, he will let everyone live. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the 130,000 army to return! ”

Wang Jian and Che Li, who finally understood what he was saying, glanced at each other and laughed angrily. Wang Jian Huo Ran got up, stretched out his hand to throw his battle helmet to the ground, and looked up to the sky and laughed. Even with his quality, when he heard such arrogant words, he really couldn't help the anger in his heart.

"Hahaha! I have been on the battlefield for decades, experienced in a hundred battles, and can be called a world-famous general! But I have never heard of anyone going so far as to be so rampant...... Chu Jiangmian! Wang Jian's head is here, if you have the ability, you can get it! ”

Before the words fell, the sound of killing suddenly rose, and the horse's hooves were like thunder. One of the most important battles of the Battle of Pinglingguan begins!
