The Great Chu Emperor personally came to the front of the formation, the flag fluttered, there were only dozens of officials and generals behind him, there were no guards, the morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted, and at the same time raised his arms and shouted Long live, resounding in the sky.

Han Ruzi sent the last hundred army, and after this army entered the battlefield, he ordered the drum to beat and led the front army of nearly 10,000 soldiers to move forward slowly, and the rear army also grasped their weapons and began to stand still.

Most of the Chu army were infantry, and Han Ruzi sent a large number of generals to gallop in front of the team on horseback to maintain the formation of the formation, in fact, the front line was basically veterans.

The battlefield seemed to be very close, but he had to walk for a while with only his feet, Han Ruzi grabbed the reins, tried to walk slowly, turned his head, and saw that the remnant sun was like blood, and the sky was getting dark again, he didn't want to fight at night anymore, but he didn't want to retreat before the enemy.

This is a battle for morale, and if you don't mention it in one breath, it will decline again and decline three times.

He didn't look back, on the way to the front line, he had seen many panicked and dazed eyes, too many recruits, many people didn't even hold the right posture of their weapons, they stood in the cold wind for a long time, their faces were blue from the cold, they had never been close to the battlefield, in the face of a strong enemy, it was impossible not to be afraid, and being able to stick to their position and not retreat was their greatest morale.

A stone's throw away from the battlefield, Han Ruzi stopped, and the army behind him also stopped.

These recruits must not be allowed to enter the battlefield, Han Ruzi reminded himself again, whispered a few words to the general next to him, and the general personally went to pass the order.

He could only send veterans from the front line, only hundreds.

The sun set, the light quickly weakened, and the battlefield suddenly became both distant and imminent, so far that it was impossible to see the face clearly, only the figures were visible, and the shouts of killing were close to the ears, as if there were knives and guns in the next moment.

The sound of the horn on the opposite side suddenly became urgent, as if urging his own army to fight hard, Han Ruzi did not hesitate anymore, and immediately sent a front-line veteran, and at the same time ordered the remaining soldiers to put on a defensive formation.

The formation is very simple, the soldiers in the front row hold long shields and short knives in a group, the soldiers in the back rows stretch out their spears, and the soldiers in the back temporarily put down their weapons, there is only one task, and they will use their shoulders against the people in front of them to ensure that the army does not retreat.

The enemy's toughness was only short-lived, and before a small number of Chu troops could join the battle, the horns on the opposite side changed, and the enemy soldiers began to retreat.

But this was not a chaotic rout, but a steady and steady fight, with the soldiers looking for each other, gathering as much as they could, and then retreating together to join more soldiers.

The generals around the emperor were overjoyed, "The enemy army has retreated, and our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue." ”

The most adventurous emperor, however, became extremely cautious, and after waiting for a while, when he saw that the enemy army was indeed retreating, and that the sun was about to set completely behind the mountain, he ordered: "Withdraw the troops." ”

The general was surprised, but he immediately carried out his order and ordered the gong to be withdrawn.

Retreat is usually more difficult than advancing, and even if it is to collect troops, it will take a long time, and the soldiers in the battle are likely to ignore the voices behind them, and they will have to be reminded by others around them to react.

Fortunately, the enemy troops withdrew first, reducing a lot of unnecessary entanglements, and as the night deepened, Han Ruzi personally supervised the retreat of groups of soldiers.

After a whole day of fighting, it is difficult to say who won and who lost, but whether it was a hundred army or a small number of Chu troops, they all returned to their camp with a proud attitude, and only bowed their heads when they passed by the emperor.

The two consecutive days of fighting have made the soldiers more and more confident, especially those hundred army troops, and suddenly found that the gods and ghosts who were previously regarded as heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals were not as powerful as they imagined, and they could be defeated.

The Chu army in the rear gave way to a few passages, but still maintained a defensive position.

Han Ruzi stayed on the horse and watched, and his heart gradually became uneasy, many generals came back and gathered around the emperor, but Fan Bangshan and Cui Teng were nowhere to be seen, and no one claimed to have seen them.

Han Ruzi sent an envoy with three interpreters to the front of the enemy army, proposing to clean up the battlefield and carry away their wounded so that they could fight again tomorrow.

The enemy army readily agreed, and the envoy returned to his life, Han Ruzi was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, and withdrew to the windward village, according to the agreement, leaving only a thousand soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and specially sent the order to find Fan Bangshan and Cui Teng, and immediately sent them to the village.

When the troops withdrew to their respective camps, it was already the second half of the night, and Han Ruzi summoned dozens of generals of the Hundred Families Army, saying that he had seen their brave performance, and simply encouraged a few words, implying that tomorrow would be the final decisive battle, and the Chu army would all participate in the battle in the middle of the battle.

In the face of these aliens, Han Ruzi couldn't be too cordial, on the contrary, he sat on the only chair, and behind him were the guards of the Chu army wearing heavy armor and holding halberds, and the generals of the hundred army all bowed to the ground and replied.

The emperor was not angry at the indecision of the hundred army in the morning, they were already happy.

The alien generals retreated, leaving only two to participate in the Imperial Council.

The plan for the attack on the whole front had already been formulated, and at this time, it was taken out and revised overnight, and the hundred army suffered quite a lot of casualties, and the Chu army also changed.

Han Ruzi looked up at the door of the hall from time to time, and people often came in to report the situation, but there was no news of Fan and Cui, and the emperor's guards only came back with only seven or eight people, and they were separated from these two people a long time ago, and they couldn't tell their whereabouts.

The young general Xie Cun returned safely, he was not lightly tired, it was indeed not his advantage to charge into battle, he rested for a while before he came to participate in the meeting, and put forward many suggestions as soon as he came, "Tomorrow's battle will be won or lost, and the Chu army can't just think about how to defeat the enemy, but also prepare to pursue and encircle." Since it is certain to win, it must be a great victory, and the enemy army cannot be allowed to escape back to Shenxiong Pass and join up with the army outside the Saiwai. ”

There is also a large army outside the Saiwai, which is confronting the main force of the Chu army led by Chai Yue.

After listening to the translation, the generals of the Hundred Families Army were very excited, and said a lot of words loudly, and the interpreter said: "They said that most of the troops outside the Saiwai are also from Western countries, so there is no need to worry. ”

The translation has some embellishments, but the meaning remains the same.

The gods and ghosts have won every battle, and because of this, a crushing defeat can make the former servant army suspicious of him.

Han Ruzi accepted Xie Cun's suggestion, among the generals, only Xie Cun knew the emperor's intentions best, and the pre-imperial meeting was really arranging troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was to build confidence in the hundred armies.

The Chu army always did not participate in the battle, after all, it would arouse some suspicion, so the emperor hoped that the battle would be ended on the third day.

The plan was almost finished, and the group retired, and they still had time to sleep for an hour or two.

Han Ruzi didn't sleep, sitting in the hall reading the official documents sent from the back, and at the same time waiting for the news of the front to clean up the battlefield, two eunuchs accompanied the emperor, constantly trimming candle wicks, replacing torches and charcoal basins.

The hall was empty, and the chill was still getting noticeable.

There were mixed footsteps outside the hall, Han Ruzi looked up and saw Wang He running in hurriedly, knowing that the matter had finally been settled.

Wang He was covered in blood, and just as he was about to kneel, he was stopped by the emperor, "Wang Duwei is flat." ”

Wang He arched his hand and said: "The two generals Fan and Cui were seriously injured and were on the way back, the ministers took a step back to report to Your Majesty, the ministers were derelict in their duties and failed to ensure the safety of the two generals, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief, got up and came to Wang He, and arched his hand: "The guards are not soldiers who charge into battle, I knew this for a long time, but sending Qing and others to the battlefield to protect the two generals Fan and Cui is really difficult for a strong man, and Wang Duwei has no merit." ”

Maintain majesty over the generals of the Hundred Families of Alien Races, but you don't have to blempty about the people around you.

Seeing the emperor give his hand, Wang He was taken aback, and after listening to the emperor, he was even more surprised, and he wanted to kneel down again, but was supported by the emperor, "No need to be polite, how many guards are back?" ”

"There are about 30 people, and there are more than 50 guards." Wang He replied that the emperor's guards had suffered heavy losses, with more than half of them suffering casualties.

Han Ruzi sighed lightly, "Wang Duwei, go and rest." ”

Wang He stepped back, grateful in his heart.

Han Ruzi paced back and forth in the hall, and after another quarter of an hour, the soldiers finally carried Fan Bangshan and Cui Teng back.

Fan Bangshan was the most seriously injured, and the person was still in a coma, so he was immediately sent to the barracks, and was watched by the imperial doctor, Cui Teng was better, but he injured one leg and couldn't stand up, so he could only sit, still holding the wooden box with both hands, and the box was tied with a thick rope and hung around his neck.

"Why did Your Majesty withdraw your troops? If you continue to fight, you will be able to capture the gods and ghosts alive tonight. ”

Han Ruzi shook his head with a smile, "You only know how to attack, you don't know how to protect yourself, you don't have the style of a general." ”

"I didn't want to be a general for a long time, and I have to tell the truth to Your Majesty, I didn't kill any enemy soldiers, I just rode a horse and charged with General Fan."

Cui Teng's martial arts are ordinary, and he has to hold the wooden box with both hands, except for rushing around, he can't do anything, his leg was also crushed when he fell off the horse, but Fan Bangshan, worthy of the name of a fierce general, rampage, killed countless enemies, and was injured in many places, all relying on the emperor's guards to protect desperately, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Han Ruzi asked Cui Teng to rest, and went to visit Fan Bangshan by himself, the imperial doctor had just bandaged the wound, and whispered to the emperor: "General Fan is too injured and too serious, he may be able to survive, but it will be difficult to go to the battlefield again." ”

Han Ruzi sighed, the Chu army was empty, and he had to overuse Fan Bangshan, "Don't care about the battlefield, saving General Fan is your greatest credit." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Wechen will do his best."

Han Ruzi didn't sleep all night.

The battle on the third day began relatively late, not because of the hundred armies, but because the enemy refused to go out and took a clear defensive.

After waiting for more than an hour, the Hundred Army advanced, and the two sides shot arrows at each other from a long distance, and no one was willing to risk a large number of casualties to charge directly.

Nearly noon, the Chu army began to detour around the enemy's flank and rear according to the original plan.

Shortly after noon, before the Chu army reached its position, the enemy began to retreat, initially in an orderly manner, but it did not take long for the signs of confusion to appear.

The generals at the front did not have time to report to the emperor and immediately ordered a pursuit.

Han Ruzi saw the changes on the front line on the watchtower, felt a little confused, suddenly woke up, and blurted out: "The god and ghost Da Dan Yu have fled!" ”

Han Ruzi regretted it a lot, if the gods and ghosts escaped, I don't know how long this battle would last. (To be continued.) )
