"The south gate is late, and it is a little more radical......"

At the Wei army's main formation, Zhao Hongrun looked at the battle situation in front from a distance, and made comments from time to time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hearing him say this, Wei Jiao, the head of the sect guard on his right, asked, "Do you need to send someone to remind him?" ”

"That's not necessary." Zhao Hongrun shook his head.

At this time, on Zhao Hongrun's left side, Mi Jiang also looked at the battle situation in front of him expressionlessly. Although she couldn't bear the huge casualties of the tens of thousands of peasant soldiers of the Chu State, when she heard that Zhao Hongrun seemed to have some complaints about Nanmen Chi's command, she still couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything wrong with General Nanmenchi's command?" ”

Surprised that this woman would actually ask about this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but turn his head and look at Mi Jiang.

I have to say that in order to hide people's eyes, Mi Jiang has already changed out of the red white witch costume and put on the brocade armor that he Zhao Hongrun has hardly worn a few times, showing his heroic posture, as if he is a female general, and Zhao Hongrun secretly praised.

"It's not an omission, it's just that his tactics are aggressive." While admiring the bumpy figure of Mi Jiang, Zhao Hongrun explained.

In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun didn't mean to accuse Nanmen Chi, after all, one person has one idea.

For example, for the crossbow box of the Lu State organ, which is equivalent to a one-time prop, Zhao Hongrun prefers to use it on the edge of the knife, to put it bluntly, to use it against the opposite Chu State army or local county divisions.

After all, using this terrible weapon of war against a group of temporarily recruited peasant soldiers, Zhao Hongrun always felt a little at a loss.

Therefore, if it was commanded by him Zhao Hongrun, he would definitely wait until the opposite Chu State army or local county division was dispatched before sacrificing this killing weapon.

However, Nanmen Chi is different, this person is more inclined to seize the opportunity, and does not hesitate to use the valuable war weapon such as the crossbow box of the Lu State organ to deal with a group of peasant soldiers who set foot on the battlefield for the first time, and also let the enemy suffer heavy casualties at the beginning of the game, which will seriously demoralize the Chu army.

Therefore, it is not about who has the better strategy, it is just a difference in philosophy.

“…… As for Nanmen Chi in a hurry to enter the army, this is not a big problem. It's just that his order will bring some trouble to the Chinese army, but fortunately, Wu Ji's reaction was very fast, and as soon as he found out that Nanmen Chi ordered the troops to march, he immediately asked the Chinese army under his command to prepare for battle...... Well, both of them are outstanding. ”

Zhao Hongrun said a comment freely, and in general, he still highly appreciated Wu Ji and Nanmen Chi's command so far.

Listening to Zhao Hongrun's words of appreciation for the two generals under his command, a little reminiscence and dazed look vaguely appeared in Qi Jiang's eyes.

She suddenly thought of two years ago, in the deserted hunter's hut in the territory of the Chu Kingdom.

At that time, she had a hunch that the short Wei man in front of her might become the enemy of their Chu State in the future.

And now, the premonition has come true, the short boy who was captured by her back then is now waving his army to attack Shouying, the royal capital of their Chu State. If the command is determined, he reprimands Fang Xuan, which is more imposing than two years ago.

Perhaps, this time Shouying really can't escape the end of being attacked?

Mi Jiang looked up at the towering giant city in the distance, and his cold eyes flashed with a strange look.

Zhao Hongrun clearly noticed this, so he whispered: "If you feel unwell, I can send someone to send you back to the camp first." ”

This intimate reminder made Mi Jiang's heart warm slightly.

I saw her shake her head slightly, looking at the giant city in the distance in a confused mood, and muttered: "After my father died, I can't wait for this country to fall...... At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I didn't understand why my father, who had worked hard for Dachu, was charged with rebellion against the country for no reason. When Mr. Xiong told me the cause of his father's death, I understood that it was not my father who was at fault. …… I don't care if this country survives or dies. The reason why I came here was to see with my own eyes, and the moment I saw the city of Shouying broken, it was like the county seat of Runan back then......"

"......" Zhao Hongrun didn't speak, because he didn't know how to continue.

Although there was a strong resentment in Mi Jiang's tone, he could still see the emotions of confusion and entanglement in her eyes, but it was no wonder, after all, they both knew that if Runan Jun Xiong Hao was still alive, no matter what kind of unfair treatment he received, he would never sit back and watch Shou Ying, the king of Chu, be captured.

After all, as one of the three pillars of the original Chu State, Xiong Hao, the monarch of Runan, was not supported and supported by the people of Chu by virtue of his name as a nobleman of the Xiong family.

The father has been worried about the country all his life, and he would rather be punished than cause a civil war, but his daughter is looking forward to the fall of the Chu State in her heart, and looking forward to the fall of Shouying, the king of Chu, one can imagine the complicated mood of Mi Jiang at the moment.

"Today...... Will Shou Ying be captured? ”

I don't know how long it took, Mi Jiang asked in a complicated tone.

As if seeing through Mi Jiang's complicated mood at the moment, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "You want to capture Shouying on the first day? How can it be! …… Let's look at tomorrow first, if our army can inflict heavy losses on the other side today, tomorrow will increase the chances of victory. ”

In fact, saying this, Zhao Hongrun is also cheering himself up, to be more honest, Shouying, as the royal capital of Chu State, is not surprising that a battle lasts for several months.

If it's not good, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, will be dragged to death here.

Glancing at the battlefield, Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly.

As he expected, this battle can be called the most difficult battle that his Wei army has encountered so far, and the hardships mentioned here do not simply refer to the large number of Chu troops faced by the Wei army, but to the momentum of those Chu troops.

The momentum that seems to be fighting against the water, the momentum of uniting as one and hating the same enemy.

Looking at the entire battle situation at this moment, to be honest, the situation of the Wei army was not completely advantageous, although Nanmen Chi Fang only designed the Chu army a little, and ambushed tens of thousands of Chu peasant soldiers, but this loss was not enough to reverse the unfavorable situation of the Wei army against the Chu army.

The Wei army was 50,000, and the Chu soldiers in the western suburbs of Shouying were nearly 300,000.

Even, at the same time that the Wei army's forward commander Nanmen Chi decided to advance his troops, the Chu army on the opposite side also launched a counterattack towards the Wei army.

The entire four phalanxes, as many as 40,000 or 50,000 Chu soldiers, took advantage of the fact that the left wing of the front army and the right wing of Chen Xie's department were besieging and killing those peasant soldiers, and actually took the opportunity to outflank them, trying to divide and surround the Qu troops of Yi Jia and Chen Xie.

Fortunately, Wu Ji, the commander of the Chinese army on the Wei army's side, reacted quickly, and immediately ordered 3,000 people to move forward with the left army where Lu Zhan was located, and the right army where Xu Jiong, who was also a 3,000 general, to advance and join forces with Yi Jia and Chen Xie, and resist the left and right flanks of the Chu army.

This situation made Zhao Hongrun frown.

He actually put the main army on the left and right flanks, and called a group of peasant soldiers to fight in the middle?

Zhao Hongrun frowned and glanced at the Chu army in the distance, and muttered a little in his heart.

Because logically speaking, the most powerful elite in an army will generally be deployed in the middle, not that the left and right flanks are not important, the problem is that the middle of the battlefield is in a straight line, and the distance is the shortest, unlike the two wings of soldiers and horses who need to outflank them. Therefore, if the most elite troops of the general are not deployed in the center, if they encounter the elite of the enemy army, they are likely to be cut through and killed all the way to the main position, and then defeated.

But the commander of the Chu State on the other side didn't know what to think, and actually let a group of peasant soldiers be in charge of the middle road, although the number of this group of peasant soldiers was indeed shocking, even if they were ambushed and killed tens of thousands, they were still all over the mountains. But in the final analysis, this is just a large number of people, in the face of this kind of miscellaneous soldiers, like the elite thousand-person team of Ran Teng, Zhang Ming, and Xiang Li, its sergeants can be one as ten, which is hardly a problem.

Well, there is an attempt......

Seeing from a distance the position of the central army of the Chu army, there was still a well-dressed army that had not yet been dispatched, Zhao Hongrun immediately guessed the intention of the commanding general opposite: to use miscellaneous soldiers to consume the elite physical strength of the Shang Shui army, and then send the elite army to fight back to the Wei army's main formation.

If it succeeds, the merchant army will lose the first battle; If it doesn't work, it seems that Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, Ran Teng and other elite teams that form a sharp knife formation will be difficult to protect nine times out of ten.

What are the advantages of crowd tactics......

Zhao Hongrun sighed helplessly, although he looked down on the Chu State's way of warfare in which the soldiers were purely used as battlefield consumables, it was undeniable that since this ancient tactic has been used to this day, it must have its uniqueness.

No, the Chu army made it clear that it was using a huge number of soldiers to consume the physical strength of the Wei army, and even if Zhao Hongrun could see through this matter, he couldn't think of any good way to counteract it for the time being.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun said to Zong Wei Wei Jiao: "Wei Jiao, send an order to Wu Ji and ask him to send someone to remind Nanmen Chi that the middle road of the front army is too deep compared to the left and right flanks, and beware of being ambushed by the Chu army." ”

"Yes!"

Wei Jiao nodded, and immediately summoned two Su Wang Wei and asked the latter to pass on the orders of His Royal Highness.

Sure enough, the follow-up facts proved that Zhao Hongrun's judgment was indeed accurate: the Wei army's forward corps, which was too deep into the enemy's hinterland, and those elite soldiers, including Ran Teng's team, Zhang Ming's team, and Xiang Li's team, were indeed ambushed by the Chu army.

The army in the Chu army's array, which had not moved before, suddenly attacked when the Wei army's vanguard corps was about to break through those peasant soldiers, and advanced forward in one breath, and immediately contained the Wei army's offensive.

Although Nanmen Chi was already on guard after being reminded by Wu Ji at that time, he did not expect that the counterattack of the Chu army in the middle was so rapid, forcing the Wei army to retreat step by step.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun just shook his head regretfully and didn't say anything.

Think about it, if the Chu soldiers on the opposite side can't even repel the Wei soldiers who have serious physical exertion, why can they be called the main army?

Moreover, Zhao Hongrun did not expect a decisive victory on the first day, which was too underestimated of the heritage of the Chu State.

"That's all for today, withdraw the troops!"

In Mi Jiang's unwilling and complicated eyes that seemed to be relieved, Zhao Hongrun left the two armies alternately, and the army slowly withdrew.

Seeing that the Wei army chose to withdraw its troops, the Chu army on the opposite side tried to pursue, but because it didn't get any advantage, after chasing for a while, they simply let the Wei army go.

After the war, Zhao Hongrun counted the casualties in the army, and learned that excluding the casualties of those peasant soldiers, the casualty ratio of Wei soldiers and Chu soldiers was only one to two.

This result made Zhao Hongrun frown. (To be continued.) )
