Chapter 629: The First Battle
To be honest, Zhao Hongrun doesn't know much about the State of Chu, but fortunately, there are a group of generals from the State of Chu under him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even, there are some generals from small and medium-sized nobles.
Especially Qu Cheng, who is surnamed Qu, although he is a concubine, he is also a side of the princes and nobles of Chu, which can be said to be equivalent to the status of the Anling Wang of Wei State.
It is also a very incredible thing to be able to make a person of such a position submit and switch to the Wei State, to be honest.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun said to Qu Cheng intentionally or unintentionally: "I really didn't expect that the state of Chu is much stronger than this king imagined...... By the way, Qu Cheng, the state of Chu is so strong, you won't think about going back, right? ”
Although his tone was full of jokes, this sentence still shocked Qu Cheng's heart.
Others don't know, don't they, the Chu generals who defected to the Wei State, still not understand the character of the King Su in front of them?
That's definitely the superior who kills decisively.
Thinking of this, Qu Cheng put on a serious look, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you only see the surface of the Xianhua of the Chu State, but you don't see his erosive foundation......
Hearing this, Yan Mo, who was beside Qu Cheng, also sighed and said: "Your Highness, there will not be a Chu person who wants to return to the Chu State after defecting to the Great Wei...... After that, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Xiangcheng, and said in a low voice: "This place is the border of Song and Chu, and I can't see it yet, in a few days, when our army bypasses Fulisai, crosses the Hun River, or even crosses the Vortex River, at that time, Your Highness, you can see what kind of life the people of Chu are living......
At this time, Qu Cheng and Yan Mo were still followed by Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Gongyesheng, Zuo Qiumu and other generals of the Yanling Army.
"The country of Chu is our mother country, our hometown, but the Xiong clan has ruined this country. In contrast, the Ji family of Great Wei, although there are also some black sheep like the Anling Wang family, but compared to the Chu State, the Ji family is really much better......" Yan Mo said with emotion.
"Ahem!" Qu Cheng lowered his head and coughed twice, gesturing to Yan Mo with his eyes.
However, Yan Mo didn't seem to see Qu Cheng's eyes, and he clenched his fists and showed his heart to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness can trust my Yan Ling Army, well, including the Shang Shui Army, because Your Highness's enemies happen to be enemies buried deep in our hearts." ”
Xiong's ...... Is it?
Zhao Hongrun looked at Yan Mo in surprise, and then apologized frankly: "It's the king's mistake, I suspect you for no reason, please don't care about it." ”
Hearing Zhao Hongrun's apology, the generals were flattered and didn't dare to say anything, but Yan Mo said with a smile: "The heart of defense is indispensable, and the end will be understandable." …… If Your Highness doesn't trust my Yanling Army, how can you bring my Yanling Army here? Speaking of this, he licked his lips and said in a low voice: "In the final analysis, it is because my Yanling army has not yet established meritorious services for the Great Wei, if you have the opportunity to prove yourself on the battlefield, I believe that Your Highness, you can also dispel the last trace of doubts about our army...... What do you see, Your Highness? ”
Is this a disguised war?
Zhao Hongrun looked at Yan Mo with a strange expression, he didn't have much contact with the latter, and he really didn't expect that the latter was not only good at leading troops, but also quite eloquent, especially with a natural loyal face.
He glanced around and found that after Yan Mo finished speaking, the eyes of Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Gongyesheng, Zuo Qiumu and other generals were a little earnest.
So, he thought for a while and said: "Capture Xiangcheng, this king will personally record the merits of your Yanling army!" ”
Hearing this, the eyes of Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yuan, Gongyesheng, Zuo Qiumu and other generals suddenly bloomed.
"The last general obeys!"
At this time, the distant Chu army had already come to the front of the Fencheng army, stopped at a distance of about a mile, and slowly lined up in formation.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little puzzled, because the Fencheng army had not made any movement so far, and he watched the opposite Chu army line up in formation.
Xu Yin...... What does he want to do?
After being slightly stunned, Zhao Hongrun immediately became stunned.
It turns out that the two armies have always clashed each other, and they have to fight each other in the first battle, which can be summed up as two intentions.
First of all, self-boasting of justice and allowing oneself to occupy the highest point of morality, that is, the so-called fame.
Secondly, in the stage of arguing with the enemy general, the character of the enemy general is judged by words and deeds, so as to facilitate the use of strategies in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun did not send anyone to urge Xu Yin, because he was also very curious about what the Chu general on the opposite side wanted to do when he came over with five thousand regular troops.
At this moment, a general riding a mount appeared in the ranks of the Chu army, and shouted towards the Wei army: "Who is in charge of the Wei army on the other side?" ”
Seeing this, Xu Yin also patted his horse and came to the front of the battle, and shouted in his loud voice: "I'm waiting, it's the soldiers and horses under the command of His Royal Highness Hongrun, the king of Great Wei Su!" …… Who are you? ”
"The son of the little Wei Kingdom, also dare to be the king? I am the Danshan guard general Dou Lian, you asked your son to come out and reply! ”
"Phew!" Xu Yin scolded when he heard this: "What is your identity, dare to boast that King Su will come to see you?" …… If you know each other, get off the horse early and ask for death! ”
"You are so arrogant! …… This place is my Great Chu territory, why did you Wei people set foot here? ”
"I'm waiting for the call of the lord of the alliance, Qi Wangxi, to come to crusade against your Chu State, if you obey our army, you can bypass you without dying......"
After that, he heard Xu Yin and Na Chu scolding him, only to hear Zhao Hongrun yawning again and again.
Sometimes, some things are like this, and it's boring and uninteresting, but it's a long-established rule that you still have to do.
Of course, Xu Yin's scolding with that Chu general was not completely fruitless, at least, Zhao Hongrun had already learned that the Chu general was called Dou Lian, and, judging from the other party's words and deeds, he should be quite arrogant.
"Dou Lian?"
Looking at the fighting battle flag fluttering in the ranks of the Chu army in the distance, Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao couldn't help but mutter: "What a strange name......
Hearing this, Yan Mo smiled and said, "Dou is called a strange surname? What are the surnames of the East, West, South, and North Gates called? ”
"You...... Trick me, right? Wei Jiao looked at Yan Mo incredulously, but saw the latter laugh and said, "When we meet in the future, Zong Wei will know if Yan has cheated on you." ”
"......" Wei Jiao looked at Yan Mo suspiciously.
However, Zhao Hongrun is not surprised by this, after all, Chu State does have many strange surnames.
In contrast, he was a little interested in the Chu general named Dou Lian.
"Dou Lian...... Ever heard of it? ”
Zhao Hongrun turned his head and asked the generals of the Yanling Army.
Qu Cheng, Yan Mo and the others thought about it when they heard this, and then shook their heads.
It can be seen that the Chu general is not very famous.
At this time, after Xu Yin and Na Chu scolded Dou Lian for a while, they finally entered the battle link, which made Zhao Hongrun feel refreshed.
After all, this was the first time he had encountered the regular army of the State of Chu, so he naturally had to watch this confrontation carefully to judge the strength of the regular army of the State of Chu.
"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"
Three trumpets sounded to each other.
I saw that Dou Lian pulled out the sword on his waist, pointed directly at the Fen Yan army, and shouted loudly: "Chu Di Erlang, kill!" ”
"Kill ——!"
With a shout that seemed to resound through the sky, the Chu army in the front row held Tiege in his hand and charged towards the Fencheng army.
This...... What tactics? That Chu general is inevitably too upright, right?
Zhao Hongrun frowned, he really couldn't understand what the Chu general on the other side was thinking.
With 5,000 Chu troops alone, you want to defeat more than 50,000 Wei troops? Where did Chu get the courage?
Zhao Hongrun shook his head, racking his brains and still couldn't understand what the other party was thinking.
On the contrary, Yan Mo proposed a more reliable possibility: "Could it be that Dou Lian saw that our army had just arrived, and mistakenly thought that our army had traveled a long distance and was exhausted, so he wanted to take the lead and make our army unable to camp?" ”
"Hmm......"
Zhao Hongrun responded, and the right to approve Yan Mo's guess.
But when he thought about it, he still felt that this explanation was far-fetched.
After all, if the Dou Lian on the other side was also a good general, he should understand a truth: no general in the world will put a tired army under the nose of the enemy, unless it is to lure the enemy.
Look down on my Da Wei?
Zhao Hongrun narrowed his eyes, very unhappy in his heart.
But it is undeniable that since the Wei State was defeated in the Wei and Han Shangdang Battles and the powerful Wei Wushu was wiped out, the prestige of the Wei infantry in the Central Plains was indeed not as loud as before, but the Korean cavalry stepped on the stepping stone of Wei Wushu and reached the peak of its reputation.
Perhaps all countries have this opinion: what is left of Wei without its proud infantry?
I have to say that there are definitely not a few people who think like this.
Hum! Even if my Great Wei lost the Wei soldiers of the year, there are still six battalions of garrison...... Xu Yin, let this king see the demeanor of your Fen army!
"Beat the drums!" Zhao Hongrun turned his head and said to Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao.
Wei Jiao nodded, and immediately ordered Su Wangwei to bring the war drum from the camp and ask the latter to beat it.
Not to mention, this batch of war drums supplied by Lu State is indeed louder than the war drums built by the craftsmen of Wei State, as if every stroke is directly beating in the hearts of everyone, deafening, and people can't help but blood swell.
At this time, the Fencheng army had already been dispatched.
Probably because of the arrogance in his heart, Xu Yin did not send more soldiers, he saw that Dou Lian dispatched about a thousand troops, so he also ordered the dispatch of thousands of Fencheng soldiers.
Slightly different from the troops of the Junshui Army and the Dangshan Army, the soldiers of Fencheng Sai, because they are the garrison of the fortress, and have been attacked by Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, in the past ten years, so the weapons of this army are obviously biased towards defense.
For example, the sword and shield soldiers of the panacea class, and the Changge soldiers who are specially used to defend the fortress and facilitate the push down of the enemy army who climb the city wall with the help of ladders, wells, etc.
This is an army that is good at defending instead of attacking tactics.
"Rock solid!"
With the shouting of a certain general dressed as Quhou, the more than 1,000 Fencheng soldiers, two teams of sword and shield hands in front, and two captains in the back, stared at the charging Chu soldiers with a cold expression, without the fear before the battle.
Such a thin formation? No problem?
Zhao Hongrun was secretly a little surprised, because the defense line of the more than 1,000 Fencheng troops was very long, so it was easy to break through.
"Boom-"
As if the sound of huge waves crashing on the reef sounded in front of him, Zhao Hongrun's eyes widened in surprise.
The more than 1,000 Fen troops that seemed to have a thin formation actually blocked the cone-like charging team of more than 1,000 Chu States.
This defensive power is the best in the Wei Kingdom! (To be continued.) )
