Chapter 1252: The Last Battle
That night, Shouling Jun Jingshe decided to retreat with the whole army, but this decision was opposed by the nobles of Chudong such as Xiong Quan, Jun Xiong Cheng of Yanyang, and Xiong Yi of Peng Lijun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At present, his Chu army still has at least 500,000 people, even if Wei Gongzirun leads tens of thousands of Wei troops to help, it is not without the strength of a battle.
At these words, he only heard Shouling Jun Jingshe shaking his head, and he secretly thought in his heart: Yanyang Jun Xiong Cheng has never fought with Wei Gongzirun and the Shang Shui Army under his command, how can he know how powerful the other party is.
But then again, Shouling Jun Jingshe also understood the difficulties of Xiong Quan, the king of Yanyang, and Xiong Yi of Peng Lijun - these two Chudong nobles, entrusted by the domestic Chudong nobles, attacked the Wei State, and their purpose was to seize the wealth of the Wei State.
But so far, although the Chu army has captured more than a dozen large cities in Wei, the looted wealth is not enough to make up for the cost of this expedition.
At this time, Peng Lijun Xiong Yi put forward a neutralizing suggestion: "It is better to send someone to negotiate with the Wei army, if Wei is willing to cede land and pay compensation, then our army will withdraw, how about it?" ”
If Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, was here at this moment, he would definitely give Peng Lijun Xiong Yi a roll of the eyes: when Wei Gongzirun set out for the first time at the age of fourteen, he put forward the slogan of no compensation, no tribute, no land, and no harmony, which won a huge response in the Wei army. It's a dream!
However, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, is not here, but it is undeniable that Shouling Jun Jingshe has also fought with Wei Gongzirun, and he knows very well what kind of character that Wei Guogong is - it turns out that Yu Wang Zhao Yuantong's desire to attack is very strong, but Wei Gongzirun's desire to attack is even stronger, and he will cut Chu, Han, and Qin, this Wei prince will never compromise with the outside world!
Thinking of this, Shouling Jun Jingshe shook his head and said: "Whether it is Yu Wang Ji Zuo or Wei Gongzi Ji Run, the uncle and nephew will never negotiate peace with our army...... Lord Xiong Quan, you must know that Wei Gongzirun is in charge of the war between Wei and Western Qin, and since he has led the army here, it means that the Qin army has been defeated......"
"Even if the Qin State loses, there will be no ...... on the Korean side," Yanyang Jun Xiong Cheng retorted.
Hearing this, Shouling Jun Jingshe smiled bitterly: "Sanchuan is closer to Hedong County, even if it is me, after defeating the Qin army, I will first support its northern frontier and assist Ji Zuo, the king of Southern Liang, to repel the Han army." If I'm not mistaken, Wei Gongzirun will fight on three battlefields, and our army will probably be the last ......."
Hearing the clear analysis of Shouling Junjingshe, the faces of everyone in the tent changed slightly.
After all, the development of Wei has been very rapid in the past few years, especially the strength of the army, if this battle against Wei, the only thing left for the conquering party is their Chu State, it is really not possible to make Wei succumb - today's Wei State is no longer the Wei State of six years ago.
In the end, Yanyang Jun Xiong Cheng still insisted: "Even so, is it okay to send a book to test it? …… No matter how bad it is, it can sell Wei Gongzirun a good one. ”
Hearing this, Shouling Jun Jingshe, Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng and others shook their heads: Their Chu army, this time they attacked the Wei State, even if they retreated halfway, would that Wei Gongzirun still be grateful to Dade? More likely, the other party can't wait to eat your meat raw!
However, Yang You, the deputy general of Shouling Jun Jingshe, put forward a more pertinent suggestion: "Lord Jingshe, tonight is the night of the first month, the moon is dark, and the road is difficult to walk. ”
Shouling Jun Jingshe thought about it and finally agreed.
What he didn't expect was that when the sky was bright the next day, the Wei army surrounded the Yongqiu Chu army camp and put on a posture of preparing for a frontal attack.
What shocked the army of Chu the most was the handsome flag - a few days ago, the handsome flag of the Wei army was still Wei and Yu Wang Tong, but today, the handsome flag of the Wei army was replaced by Wei and Su Wang Run, and it was obvious that the Wei army replaced the commander in battle.
Although since ancient times, it has been taboo to change the commander in battle, but if the replaced coach is a coach like Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who has won two battles, there is no so-called negative factor.
You must know that the fact that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, has been in poor physical condition is not a secret in the Wei army, whether it is Shaohu, Long Ji, Yigu, Zhao Bao, Bailiba, in fact, they are secretly worried about the physical condition of this Yu prince, therefore, even if it is Su Wang Zhao Hongrun who replaces Yu Wang Zhao Yuantong as the commander of the Yongqiu battlefield, the Zhulu Wei army has no meaning - after all, in the military of the contemporary Wei State, the prestige of Su Wang Zhao Hongrun is the highest, followed by the two royal commanders of Yu Wang Zhao Yuantong and Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, as well as Bailiba, Sima An, Shaohu and several other Wei generals.
I have to say that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, led the troops to Yongqiu, which further reduced the morale of hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in the Yongqiu Chu army camp, after all, this Wei Gongzi's record in the face of the Chu army was very terrifying, and he went out to the Chu State twice, both of them were outnumbered, facing nearly ten times the Chu army, especially when he conquered the Chu State for the second time, under the threat of hundreds of thousands of troops from Shouling Jun Jingshe and the general Xiang Mo, he hit Shouying, the royal capital of the Chu State, and took the lead in attacking the royal city.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, didn't like to kill indiscriminately and treated the civilians of Chu quite gently, his murderous reputation would have far surpassed that of Tian Tan, a famous general of Qi State.
Under the trembling watchful eyes of the Chu soldiers of the entire Yongqiu Chu camp, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, rode to the front of the battle, and shouted at a distance of a stone's throw from the Chu camp: "I am Ji Run, the king of Su of the Great Wei, and I led the army here today to crusade against your army." If anyone wishes to surrender, he immediately discards his weapons and leaves the camp to surrender...... I'll just wait a moment, and after a moment, I'll give the order to attack, and when the time comes, you'll all be in ashes!" …… Don't be preemptive! ”
After saying that, he turned his horse and left, and saw the Chu soldiers in the Chu army camp looking at each other.
After waiting for Zhao Hongrun to return to the main formation, Qin Shaojun couldn't help but ask: "When you give the Chu army a moment, aren't you afraid that the Chu army will take advantage of this time to start preparing for the battle?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan also nodded secretly.
"Fighting?" Zhao Hongrun laughed when he heard this, and said: "The Chu army has long lost its fighting spirit, even if it is to give them a day, why be afraid?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Feng Ying, the Korean general and former party guard, also complimented: "What His Royal Highness King Su said is extremely true, the morale of the Chu army has been lost, and only by taking the lead and intimidating the crowd can it be made to surrender in fear." ”
Qin Shaojun glanced at Feng Ying and said, "Since the Chu army has no will to fight, wouldn't it be better to attack directly and bring it to its knees?" ”
"No, no, no." Feng Ying hurriedly explained: "Shaojun, the Central Plains pays attention to courtesy before soldiers, first use rhetoric to negotiate, and then use force. Moreover, in terms of my Dawei's current situation, since the victory is in hand, if you can win with your offensive heart, it is better to avoid head-to-head confrontation as much as possible. …… Even if it could reduce the loss of one soldier as a result, that would be good. ”
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and when he saw the latter bowing slightly, he was happy in his heart.
There is no way, since he has defected to the Wei State, then Feng Ying can only firmly hold the thigh of Wei Gongzi Run, if not, he will still be able to mix well in the Wei State in the future.
On the side, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, and his staff Zhou Yu secretly looked at Feng Ting, surprised that Feng Ying quickly adapted to the new identity of the Wei people.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun also affirmed: "Feng Ying is right, our army has won this battle, and we should avoid unnecessary sacrifices as much as possible." ”
When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen in South Korea, and also remembered the battle of Ningyi that made him regret it - if he had known that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, had a successful plan, he would definitely not let his army and the army under the command of Li Mu, Le Yi, and Storm Kite die to the death, causing heavy losses to the Qin and Wei coalition forces.
The more he thought about this, the more Zhao Hongrun hated Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang: if Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, could reveal a little about the strategy of retreating from the enemy at that time, would his Qin-Wei coalition army lose so many soldiers and horses?
Shaking his head secretly, Zhao Hongrun put all the troubles in his heart behind him, and ordered: "Order Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and others, and order them to come forward and call for surrender!" ”
"Obey!"
After a while, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals of the Shangshui Army led many Shangshui soldiers to the front of the Chu army camp, shouting loudly to persuade the Chu army in the camp to surrender.
"Brother Chu Dong in the camp, don't be obsessed anymore, you have already lost this battle, under the command of His Royal Highness King Su, there are still as many as hundreds of thousands of Qin and Wei coalition troops about to arrive here, do you really think you can still hold it?"
"Yes, hurry up and get out of the camp and surrender."
"Those who are willing to surrender may wish to move to our Shangshuiyi with their families in the future, where they are all compatriots of my Chu Di Wei people, there are no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the land rent is ......."
"Hurry up and surrender to the camp, don't die for Chu Dong Guixun anymore, they won't care about your life and death at all......"
"Don't worry about your relatives at home, the state of Chu was defeated in this battle, and His Royal Highness King Su will wait for you, and the nobles of Chu Dong will never dare to harm them."
"Defect to our merchant army, even if there is a soldier in my merchant army, there are houses and fields in Shangshuiyi, and there are Hu and Ba slaves to help with agricultural affairs......"
I have to say that the Shang Shui Army was originally from the Chu people, so they came forward to persuade them to surrender, and the effect was better than any army in the Wei State except for the Yanling Army.
But what is more important is the generous treatment of the merchant army.
Not to mention this treatment, the Chu soldiers in the Chu army camp were excited, and even the black army of Qin and the Northern First Army of Wei were also quite envious.
What kind of treatment is it to have houses, farms, poultry and livestock, and to buy strong Hu and Ba slaves to help take care of agricultural affairs?
Under the persuasion of the Shang Shui army, there was a riot in the Chu army camp, or more than a dozen Chu soldiers ignored the scolding and angry scolding of the Chu generals in the camp, dropped their weapons and ran out of the camp, and then under the command of the Shang Shui soldiers, temporarily stayed away from the battlefield.
Seeing that someone finally came forward, more and more Chu soldiers chose to choose to surrender out of the camp, so that after a moment, the surrender of Chu soldiers was as many as tens of thousands.
Although ninety percent of these tens of thousands of Chu soldiers were grain recruits, the surrender of these people was tantamount to adding insult to injury and dealt a fatal blow to the Chu army in terms of morale.
Finally, a moment passed, and when Zhao Hongrun ordered the whole army to attack, the Chu army was almost war-ready, and it was simply looking at the wind.
As long as the Wei army passed by, the Chu soldiers dropped their weapons one after another and surrendered on their knees.
The army of Chu State, which is known as one million, has gone!
