Chapter 70: The Great War Begins

But this result was obviously not what the second prince wanted to see, a look of disappointment flashed on his face, and he thought sullenly, "Why is he not defeated?" Why didn't he die? It's a fate, but I'm going to kill you sooner or later! ”

Chen Rui won the first stop, and Pang Xiong naturally had to give him some encouragement and reward, but this seemed a bit hypocritical to Chen Rui, so he was just perfunctory.

Pang Xiong naturally understood, so he didn't continue to say anything, and directly let him go down to rest.

This was exactly what he wanted, and he said goodbye and left the Chinese army's big tent.

Zhang Ning saw him come out outside, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Childe......"

"I know, I know, why are you more verbose than my mother?" Seeing his expression, Chen Rui knew what he wanted to say, so he looked at him helplessly and blocked his mouth.

Seeing that Zhang Ning wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that he was doing it for his own good, Chen Rui said gently: "Don't worry, I will spare my life more than anyone else." ”

He can now be described as a winner in life, and he cherishes his own life, although the fight against Pan Long is due to the adrenal hormone explosion and excitement, but also because of a kind of self-confidence in his heart, he can't hurt himself, in fact, it's still dangerous, and he must not take such a risk next time.

The next day, the 200,000 troops of the Liang army came, and the camp stretched for dozens of miles, which was quite spectacular.

Of course, although the 200,000 army needed to rest, the Liang army still challenged outside the Chu army's central army camp.

This time, Pang Xiong thought about it for a long time, but in the end he didn't avoid fighting.

After all, the arrival of enemy reinforcements, the strength of the army, if the battle at this time, the final defeat, it is undoubtedly to boost the enemy's morale, the blow to their own morale is particularly heavy, although it will not be defeated like a mountain, but it is not conducive to the next defensive battle.

In this regard, the second prince was opposed, and said: "General Pang, although the local reinforcements are coming, but the day and night rush has long been sleepy and tired, and we must rest first, this is a good opportunity to meet the battle, and General Chen is a good general of my Chu country, and he will definitely be able to frustrate the enemy army, so ...... In the next suggestion, send General Chen to fight again, which will greatly benefit our army. ”

He thought about it for a while, and finally decided to claim to be in the army, after all, he did not have a position in the army, it was not appropriate to call the general, and he could not put the prince on the shelf, so he still decided to call the subordinate, so that he still appeared to be modest and close to the people, if he subdued their hearts because of this......

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he was afraid to laugh out loud if he thought about it any more.

Everyone in the tent frowned when they heard this, and after thinking for a while, the middle-aged burly general nodded approvingly and said: "The second prince is reasonable, and the last general feels that it is combatable." ”

His name is Wu Lu, he is a lieutenant general, and he is a general under the fourth grade, and his status in the army is second only to that of the first battalion.

The second prince glanced at him with satisfaction, what a good man! This is a rare talent! If he is in power in the future, he will definitely be reused.

And the generals also nodded in agreement, and echoed their words, the second prince was overjoyed when he saw this scene, these are talents! My Chu country is so prosperous, why can't I dominate the world? Well! I'm going to write them all down, and when I'm in power, I'm going to reuse them all.

Wei Chishun shook his head and said, "No, no, General Chen is young after all, what if he is defeated?" How great was the defeat to the morale of our army? The last general felt that it was better not to fight. ”

The second prince glanced at Wei Chishun in disgust, his ambition has already flown to the edge of the sky at such an old age, and he doesn't even dare to fight, why don't he go home to recuperate? What are you doing on the battlefield?

Write it down, and when he is in power later, let him go home early.

"Yes! The old general is reasonable......"

Like Wei Chishun, there are also many people who think that the enemy's army is too strong and it is better to hold on to reinforcements without fighting.

The second prince glanced at these people with great dissatisfaction, these people are really ignorant, he wants to write them down......

After struggling and hesitating for a while, Pang Xiong ordered: "Pass the order, stick to no fight, from today onwards, if anyone dares to fight privately, he will not be spared." ”

"Whoa!"

The second prince glanced at Pang Xiong with great dissatisfaction, and left directly.

Seeing that the second prince was so disregarding the overall situation, Pang Xiong regretted a little, why did he remind the second prince in the first place?

Although it was to complete the task assigned by His Majesty, the current situation did not allow him to do so.

It's no wonder that he didn't think so much at the beginning, but he didn't expect that the Liang Kingdom secretly hid 200,000 troops and caught them off guard, I just hope that His Majesty can quickly dispatch reinforcements, otherwise if it continues like this, Xiangzhou may be lost!

Two people in succession, the Liang army challenged in front of the Chu military camp, and the Chu army spent time in the sound of Liang Jun's abuse, although he wanted to kill people in anger, but with the restraint of the general, he didn't make any trouble.

After two days, it was quiet for a day, which surprised the Chu army.

However, on the fourth day, the wolf smoke was everywhere, and emergency war reports kept coming, but it was the Chu army's passes everywhere, and the camps in the high places attracted the onslaught of the Liang army.

At this moment, everyone in the Chu army finally understood why the Liang army did not come to challenge yesterday, in order to rest and recuperate, and wait for today's strong attack.

The main general of the Chu army is in the big camp, the Chinese army is in the big tent, and all the generals have gathered here, including Chen Rui.

In the face of the urgency of the camps, Pang Xiong was about to send troops to help, but a soldier came to report: "The 100,000 troops of the Liang army killed our army camp." ”

Everyone in the military tent looked nervous, Pang Xiong took a deep breath, and ordered: "General Wei Chi, lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to guard Nanzhai." ”

"Whoa!" Wei Chishun got up and arched his hand.

"Wu Lu led 5,000 troops to guard Xizhai."

"Whoa!"

"Li He led 5,000 troops to guard Beizhai."

"Whoa!" The general, who looked only in his thirties at the age of one year, replied.

After instructing several generals, Pang Xiong looked at Chen Rui in the last seat and said, "Chen Rui,"

Chen Rui got up: "Here!" ”

"The slope in the east is gentle, the Liang army will mainly attack Dongzhai, and General Chen must defend it."

Chen Rui frowned, he also said how could he give him such a good position, it turned out that he had premeditated, it seems that compared with such a battlefield veteran, he is still a little immature! Maybe when it will be calculated.

But come on! There is nothing to be afraid of, who are the 30,000 Qin troops under his hands afraid of?

He quickly lowered his eyes, concealed the emotions in his heart, and arched his hand: "Oh! ”

"The generals hurry up to deploy troops, and the rest of the generals will organize their troops and horses, and be ready to rush to help at any time."

"Whoa!"

Chen Rui returned to his camp tent, urgently recruited the six generals of the Qin army and the four partial generals of the pioneer battalion to come to the big tent, and said directly: "The 100,000 troops of the Liang army are coming to attack our army's camp, and the main direction of attack must be my Dongzhai, you must guard it." ”

Du Gui arched his hand and said proudly: "Don't worry, son, how can a mere 100,000 Liang army break through our town to defend Dongzhai?" Even if it is doubled, we will not be afraid. ”

Then he said to the four partial generals of the vanguard battalion: "You guys just watch, don't get in the way, see how my Qin army fights." ”

A trace of anger flashed on the faces of the four generals, although your Qin army is very strong, you don't have to look down on people so much!

Lu Han glared at Du Gui and said to the four partial generals: "The four generals are not strange, General Du has no malicious intentions, but the situation is critical, and there is no room for mistakes, and it is a bit rude to speak." ”

These words are much easier to hear, Guan Yong said: "We don't blame General Du, but I'm just bothering you." ”

Du Guigang wanted to say something, but Lu Han hurriedly stopped him, and he had to shut up.

After Lu Han grabbed Du Gui, he said to Chen Rui: "Don't worry, son, if you can't keep Dongzhai, come and see you at the bottom." ”

Chen Rui nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

He looked at the scene just now, but he didn't say anything, after all, Qin Jun was his, and although these people in the pioneer battalion looked honest, they didn't know what they were thinking behind their backs.

Outside the battalion, in addition to the iron cavalry, the Liang army also has a large number of foot soldiers, it turned out that there were 150,000 foot soldiers in the 200,000 reinforcements of the army, although the Liang country produced war horses, but too many iron cavalry could not be supplied.

They set up a position outside, and slowly pushed up the prepared siege equipment such as rushing carts and crossbow arrows, but there were no catapults, after all, on the hillside, the carts and boulders were too heavy, and the lethality was also very average, mainly to deter the enemy, and if they were combined to get it, it would be a waste of time and a waste of physical strength of the soldiers.

"Uh......h Woo......"

When the horn of the camp sounded, Sergeant Liang twisted the wheel axle at the back of the bed crossbow to open the bow and load the arrows, and the arrows of the bed crossbow were much larger than ordinary arrows, and the power was naturally completely different.

"Put!"
