Chapter 1248: The Collapse of the Chu Army

"Urgent!"

A herald hurriedly came to the high platform of the Chinese army in the Chu army camp, and shouted with a strange expression: "Lord Diyang Jun Xiong Shang...... Master Xiong Shang...... Die! ”

Hearing this, tens of millions of bees and flies seemed to gather near the high platform of the Chinese army, and for a while, there was a lot of noise, and almost all of them showed a look of horror on their faces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Di Yang Jun ......"

"Lord Xiong Shang died in battle?"

"How is that possible?!"

It's no wonder that these people are frightened and inexplicable, after all, Diyang Jun Xiong Shang is one of the three pillars of the Chu State, and he is the leading general of the Chu State, no one can imagine that this prince would die here.

"Who is it...... Who killed Master Xiong Shang? A Chu general asked in a trembling tone.

"It is said to be a hundred generals of business and water swimming horses, Shi Jin." The herald replied.

Hearing this, there was a burst of exclamations near the high platform of the Chinese army, these Chu generals originally thought that the person who killed Diyang Jun Xiong Shang must be a well-known general of Wei State, such as Shaohu, Long Ji, Yigu, Zhao Bao, Bailiba and others, but they never imagined that it was just a hundred generals.

What the hell is going on?!

The generals of the Chu army near the high platform of the Chinese army could not help but have a riot.

At this moment, on the high platform, Yang You, the deputy general of Shouling Junjingshe, saw that it was too noisy below, and couldn't help but shout: "Shut up and be quiet!" ”

was reprimanded by Yang You, and the Chu generals under the high platform quieted down.

"The ...... of Lord Jingshe"

Yang You turned his head to look at Shouling Jun Jingshe, revealing a look of wanting to say something.

Shouling Jun Jingshe could actually guess what this deputy general was thinking at the moment, but to be honest, he didn't know what to say - Diyang Jun Xiong Shang died on the battlefield, this is a major event that is enough to shake the entire Chu State, and the stakes can be easily resolved in a few words.

After about a stick of incense, another herald came to report: "Report! Lord Xiong Shang of Diyang was killed in battle, and the Diyang army was defeated, and it was the Youma army of Wei that defeated this army......"

The herald who came to report this time obviously knew much more than the previous one, and told Shouling Jun Jingshe and the others on the high platform what they knew about the situation under the high platform, only to hear the latter and the others frowning deeply.

Horse Warrior ...... Is that the Wei cavalry?

Standing on the high platform, Shouling Junjingshe looked at the battlefield, only to see that on the west side of the battlefield, there was indeed a Wei cavalry after defeating the Diyang army, divided into three, and continued to advance in the direction of the Chinese army here.

Although this cavalry is estimated to be only about four or five thousand people, for some reason, the Chu army that blocked along the way was defeated by these cavalry, and they were simply powerless to fight back.

"Lord Jingshe......" Deputy General Yang You approached Shouling Jun Jingshe, and said in a low voice: "That Wei cavalry, Shangshui Traveling Horses......"

He deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word Shang Shui in his words.

As if he had guessed Yang You's thoughts, Shouling Jun Jingshe immediately raised his hand to stop the former from continuing.

The reason is very simple, Shangshui Youma, as the name suggests, is Wei Gongzirun's feudal and Shangshuiyi's cavalry, logically speaking, this cavalry should not appear in Yongqiu - you know, at this time, their Chu State's Tuogongzi, that is, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, is waving his army to storm Shangshuiyi, how can Shangshuiyi still have the spare strength to transfer such a terrible cavalry to Yongqiu?

Unless there is only one possibility: Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and the secret trade of Shuiyi!

This speculation is not groundless, even if it is Shouling Jun Jingshe, I have heard that Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, is regarded as the cousin of his own sister and the eldest daughter of the late Runan Jun Xiong Hao, and it seems that she married Wei and married Wei Gonggongrun.

With this level of marriage, who can guarantee that Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and Wei Gongzirun must not have a secret agreement in private?

After all, from the analysis of interests, the Chu State's attack on the Wei State actually did not have the slightest benefit to Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, because his brother-in-law, Wei Gongzirun, had been secretly supporting him all these years.

The only thing that Shouling Jun Jingshe didn't expect was that Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, really dared to do this-wasn't that son afraid of being questioned afterwards?

Or is it ...... Are you betting that I will lose this battle? Xiong Tuo Gongzi.

Frowning, Shouling Jun Jingshe was really a little indignant in his heart, after all, Xiong Tuo, the Emperor of Xuancheng, had indeed dragged the army of Chu State, although he also understood why that prince did this.

Shaking his head, Shouling Jun Jingshe put these distracting thoughts in his heart behind him, and once again focused on the battlefield, thinking about the front and back of this battle.

At this time, he had already realized that he had been deceived by the commander of the Wei army, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu: the other party deliberately retreated again and again last year, making him mistakenly think that the other party was a cautious and timid person, but he did not expect that the other party was just deliberately showing his timid side - you know, it is precisely because he mistakenly thought that the other party was a cautious and cowardly person, and he Jingshe would adopt the tactics of showing the enemy weakness, wanting to lure the Northern First Army to the Chinese army step by step, and then besiege and kill it.

But Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, seemed to have calculated his plan, and took this opportunity to first let the Northern First Army attack the Chinese army, and then let the terrible Shangshui cavalry take over the former and continue to attack the Chinese army, so that although Shouling Jun Jingshe was still holding more than 100,000 Chu troops who had not yet been put into the battlefield, the victory on the entire battlefield had gradually fallen to the Wei army.

Potential, which is the most critical on the battlefield, is simply explained, it is the direct embodiment of the faith and will of the soldiers on both sides of the war, and it is a snowball-like victory and defeat trend.

If every soldier is confident that he can defeat the enemy and win, then a few thousand men can defeat tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands; If, on the other hand, the vast majority of the soldiers had lost their fighting spirit and believed that their defeat was irretrievable, then even a few hundred thousand men could be routed by an enemy force far outnumbered of them.

For example, the Wei army at this moment, although they are almost exhausted, they still fight tenaciously for the belief of protecting their home and defending the country in their hearts; On the other hand, the Chu army, which has hundreds of thousands of people, obviously has not reached the point of rout, but because hundreds of thousands of grain recruits were defeated and the Diyang army was defeated, the morale of the real core of these hundreds of thousands of troops, the Chu army, also declined.

There are only two reasons for this phenomenon.

First of all, it was Shouling Jun Jingshe who misestimated the character of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and adopted the wrong tactics of showing weakness to the enemy, which made the Wei army create an unrivaled momentum at the beginning, and caused a great burden on the psychology of hundreds of thousands of grain recruits.

Of course, this alone can still be redeemed.

As long as the original tactical arrangement of Shouling Jun Jingshe was followed, that is, Diyang Jun Xiong Shang led 100,000 elites to cut off the back route of the Northern First Army, united with several other Chu State regular armies, and annihilated the 60,000 Northern Wei First Army in one go, the Chu Army still turned the situation around in one fell swoop.

However, the fatal thing is that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, secretly ambushed a cavalry called Shangshui Youma, and when Diyang Jun Xiong Shang attacked the Northern First Army, he suddenly killed and killed the Diyang Army by surprise, not only dismantling the Chu army's tactics of encircling and killing the enemy in one fell swoop, but also took the opportunity to defeat the Diyang army, and even Diyang Jun Xiong Shang was unfortunately killed on the battlefield - this is the second point.

This deprived the state of Chu of the opportunity to turn the situation around in the original plan, resulting in the victory of the entire battlefield, which was suddenly biased in favor of the Wei army.

…… Blunder!

After realizing this, Shouling Jun Jingshe secretly clenched his fists, and felt full of regret in his heart.

If he had known that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was actually the commander of the Wei army who advocated offense and adventurous, he would never have chosen the tactic of showing weakness to the enemy - this tactic was clearly creating opportunities for the Wei army.

However, it shouldn't be too late at this point.

Thinking of this, Shouling Jun Jingshe ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the order, and the armies will besiege the Northern First Army and the Youma Army, Yang You, you personally lead the army to supervise the battle, but whoever is cowardly in the battle, no matter who it is, will not be forgiven!" ”

"Obey!"

The deputy general Yang You received the order with his fists clenched, walked to the high platform in a few steps, and led the men and horses of his headquarters to the battlefield.

When the Chu general Yang You arrived at the battlefield, he happened to encounter a group of fleeing grain recruits and the Chu army, seeing this, Yang You pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted: "All the soldiers obey the order!" Those who flee and those who are cowardly will not be forgiven! ”

Hearing this, the Chu soldiers of the Shouling Army under the command of Yang You immediately raised the Changge in their hands and aimed at those routs who fled from the battlefield.

"Forward!"

With Yang You's order, the Shouling soldiers, who were lined up in a neat phalanx, stepped forward step by step, using the weapons in their hands to push the routs who fled from the battlefield, and forcibly forced them to turn around and set foot on the battlefield again.

Or some of the stubborn defeated soldiers who still tried to flee from the vacant places were killed by these Shouling soldiers who temporarily became the overseers, or were shot by the follow-up crossbowmen.

"Don't retreat! Advance! ”

"Retreat from the latter, kill on the spot!"

Under the unkind persecution of the Shouling soldiers, tens of thousands of defeated soldiers had to turn around again, hold their weapons in fear, and under the persecution of the war team, they stepped onto the battlefield again and faced the terrible cavalry of the guerrilla army.

During this period, Yang You noticed an army that was standing still, and when he looked closely, it was the Suiyang army that had come to defect to their Chu army.

Frowning, he immediately sent someone to urge and ordered the Suiyang army to assist in meeting the Wei army.

When this order was sent to Nangong Yao, the commander of the Suiyang Army, Nangong Yao was itching with hatred.

You must know that in the previous battle, he had already seen the terrible Wei cavalry of Shangshui Youma, how could he be willing to let his soldiers be the victims of blocking this cavalry.

But the problem is that General Yang You of Chu is the deputy general of Shouling Jun Jingshe, and Nangong Yao does not dare to disobey this person's order.

After all, at present, Nangong Yao has turned against the Wei State, and has been seized by Song Yun's Song rebels, and more importantly, neither the Wei State nor the Song rebels will let him go easily in the future.

Therefore, Nangong Yao's only chance of survival is to defect to the Chu army, and only if the Chu State defeats the Wei State, he will have a chance to live.

Therefore, Nangong Yao must curry favor with the Chu army in this battle.

But then again, although Chu General Yang You's order could not be refused, but let the Suiyang Army under his command as a victim, Nangong Yao was also very reluctant, thinking about it, I also know that if the Suiyang Army was lost, this is the elite original Wei army, will the Chu State still value him so much?

Because of this, Nangong Yao's mood at this time was very complicated, that is, he hoped to turn the tide for the Chu army and block the Youma army, but he was afraid that the Suiyang army under his command would suffer heavy losses as a result, which would make his status in the Chu army plummet.

In the end, Nangong Yao made a decision: to send troops to assist, that is necessary, but isn't it up to him to send those soldiers?

Thinking of this, Nangong Yao's eyes fell on one of the battalions of the Suiyang Army under his command, and ordered left and right: "Pass the order, let Huan Hu lead his troops to attack, and assist the Chu army to meet the Wei army!" ”
