After pointing and pointing outside the city of Nachenggao, the people returned to the barracks, where the men had already prepared lunch, and Banin returned to his army after confessing his guilt. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and Zhou Bian and others also returned to the small place that belonged to the royal family.

For the people of the royal family, Wei Hou still gave great preferential treatment, serving the king, guarding the king are all people brought out by the king from Luoyang, and the daily diet of the king and his three hundred or so people is basically solved by themselves, so Zhou Bian and others all returned to their own camp for lunch.

During the march, although a lot was prepared for the king, the diet was still much worse than in Luoyang Palace, but Zhou Bian naturally didn't care.

After lunch, under the fanning of the two maids, Zhou Bian quickly fell asleep.

An hour after waking up, the army was about to be marched out.

The army continued to march eastward, and not long after, mixed with the Wei army that could not be seen from the front and left, Zhou Bian saw from a distance the small earthen city that would be seen from the mountain, there was not a single city brick on the rammed earth wall, the loess was exposed, and it seemed that the next rainstorm would be able to wash it away.

There were some sparse black shadows standing on the earth city, and they thought it was the Han soldiers guarding the city, but sure enough, as Su Rui said, the people in the city just watched from a distance, and no one went down to the city to ask.

The army walked under Chenggao City without pause, stirring up a cloud of dust, which took a long time to dissipate.

Not far ahead, there is another small town in the Wei State, Wan Feng.

This is a small town about the size of Chenggao, and the city is made of loess one mile square, and the number of people living in the small city walls should not reach five figures. Not surprisingly, when 100,000 Wei troops rolled past outside the city, none of the Han soldiers went out of the city to ask questions.

Looking back at the earth city getting farther and farther away, it was not until it disappeared from sight that Zhou Bian ordered Qiao Nu to put down the curtain behind the car. This South Korea is really strange, 100,000 Wei troops, actually put into the country like this, without the slightest hindrance, still driven straight into by the Wei army, is South Korea so weak?

You must know that the royal family allowed the Han army to kill directly under the city of Luoyang, it was because of the lack of depth and insufficient troops, so they had to stick to the lonely city. Why is South Korea so slack?

You must know that the Chenggao City that has just passed, although it occupies a favorable position as a revolving gate pass and a tiger prison pass, facing the east side of the defense, but with a slight adjustment, it is not impossible to defend to the west, if it is really changed, it is a big pass outside the Korean capital, and the Wei army wants to pass, I am afraid that it will have to pay a lot of price.

But think about it, Korea is the weakest of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, maybe the Korean monarchs and ministers never thought that one day, the Wei army would be killed from the land of Luoyang Wangji.

Thinking nonsense all the way, or calling Ning Yue and Su Rui to the car in turn to chat, the time passed quickly, and it didn't take long to see that the red sun was about to go west.

And the Wei army also slowed down at this moment, and gradually stopped, at this time General Baning came again, it turned out that he had arrived outside Shiqiu City, and the Wei army was ready to set up camp.

This Baning is not only dedicated to guarding the royal family, but also responsible for arranging the living of the king's team and spreading the word to solve doubts, etc., Baning also brought the meaning of Wei Hou, it turned out that this is a place ten miles west of Shiqiu, and the Wei army is ready to attack the city early tomorrow morning, Wei Hou also invited the king of the Zhou family to watch the army under the city of Shiqiu tomorrow. It is said that this ten miles is the standard camping distance during the siege of the city in this era, because if it is close, it will trigger the ultimate, and if it is far away, people are tired from the camp to the city, so ten miles is just right.

Sure enough, Su Rui's guess was accurate, it was impossible for South Korea to easily put the Wei army under Xinzheng City, and it was impossible for the Wei army to cross the city and kill Xinzheng regardless of the enemy before and after, so the city hill would definitely be the place where Han and Wei fought for the first time.

And tomorrow you can still see Wei Hou's thoughts, whether to just fight South Korea and withdraw, perfunctory Zhou royal family, or really go all out and teach South Korea a lesson for the Zhou royal family, and you will know tomorrow at a glance.

I didn't say anything all night, and I didn't think that the next morning there seemed to be an answer.

The early morning at the end of summer was exceptionally cool, and it was a good time to sleep soundly, but before dawn, Zhou Bian was woken up by a wake-up call outside the tent.

I really didn't expect Wei Jun to be so active. Although the Wei soldiers should all be in order, after all, 100,000 people moved at the same time, which still made it difficult for Zhou Bian to continue to sleep. Not long after, a burst of cooking smoke drifted into the tent, and it was Wei Jun preparing breakfast.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and there was a commotion outside the tent, and then the well-dressed Qiao Nu got into the tent, "Great King, General Baning arrived outside the camp, urged the Great King to get up, and said that in a while Wei Hou invited the Great King to go to the city of Shiqiu together. ”

But it's so hot during the day, it's rare to get a good night's sleep now, so Zhou Bian waved his hand and turned over and fell asleep again.

Qiao Nu had no choice but to withdraw from the account.

After a while, Qiaonu got into the tent again, and wanted to come outside to urge him very quickly, but he was driven out by Zhou Bian again.

After doing this three times, it was Ning Yue who finally got in and said with a smile, "King, the shelf is full, it's time to get up." ”

So Zhou Bian called Qiao Nu into the account again.

Dressed and then used for breakfast, it was just dawn. Transferred to a horse chariot brought by the royal family, accompanied by Ning Yue and Fan Yu in the same car, and escorted by a hundred imperial forest troops led by Su Rui, Zhou Bian followed Baning's chariot to the Wei army, and there, under a tall Wei banner, Wei Hou had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing that the king was late, Wei Hou did not have any expression on his face, but straightened up and arched his hand, "King, Benhou said that he wanted to seek justice for the royal family, and he would definitely do it, within three days, my Wei army will definitely capture the city of Qiucheng, today, please ask the king to watch my Wei army athletes by Benhou's side." ”

After Wei Hou finished speaking, he immediately beat his horse and drove eastward, and Zhou Bian had to follow silently. Listening to the words of the Marquis of Wei, is the Wei army planning to go all out and stand up for the royal family? It seems that yesterday's speculation has been answered.

Let's see.

Eight miles of land passed quickly, and only two miles away from the city hill, the Wei army sounded a trumpet, and the army came to a halt.

At this time, the sky has been bright, and the Shiqiu City in the distance has been clearly visible, remembering that a few days ago, the Han army was also looking at Luoyang City from a distance at this distance, and it was only a few days, and the attack and defense were exchanged.

And as the Wei army slowly approached, the opposite Shiqiu City also changed, a trumpet sounded, the west gate of Shiqiu suddenly opened, and one after another teams of Han soldiers rushed out of the city in a neat line.

Seeing this, Wei Hou was also a little nervous, and summoned a few generals to make arrangements. However, Zhou Bian didn't care about this, but looked around. I still remember that more than a month ago, Wang Sunjian and Liu Yun brought hundreds of people here to set a fire, but unfortunately it couldn't be burned, but Zhou Bian was still very interested and wanted to find the traces of the beginning.

It's a pity that I looked around, but I still didn't find it, thinking about it, the fire was not big, and there must have been no trace of people coming and going for more than a month, and soon Zhou Bian gave up looking for it, it was just curiosity.

At this time, Zhou Bian raised his eyes and noticed the Han army outside the city on the opposite side, at this time, the Han army had already gone out of the city with thousands of people, all spearmen and shield bearers, the defensive formation had been lined up in front, and there was still a steady stream of people going out of the city in the city gate behind.

Correspondingly, the Wei army has already been adjusting its formation, and when marching, several long dragons are marching together, and when it is about to attack the city, it is natural to put it in an attack formation, so both sides are still adjusting tacitly.

However, Zhou Bian was thinking in his heart at this time, if he didn't care about the formation and rushed up directly, wouldn't it be more surprising, maybe the Han soldiers on the opposite side had not yet set up the formation, and they would be able to rush into the city gate here. But when he turned his head to look at Wei Hou on the chariot on the side, he had a serious face, holding the chariot and looking ahead.

Looking at Wei Hou's serious appearance, Zhou Bian couldn't help but be stunned, although he already knew that this Wei Hou was the master who caused Wei to turn from prosperity to decline, but at this time he was still middle-aged, and Wei Hou, who had just ascended the throne, was still extremely responsible for his every move, and from the fact that he said that he wanted to attack Zhao State, but turned the head of the car and went straight to Luoyang, scared off the Han army, and held the Son of Heaven hostage, Wei Hou at this time was still extremely enterprising.

At this time, the Wei army had been centered on the banner where the Wei Hou's chariot was located, besieging nine large arrays, the first four and the last five, obviously the Wei army's military distribution was not based on 10,000 people, and the Chinese army where the Wei Hou was located was also stronger than the other eight large arrays. Wei Hou stood on top of the chariot with his hand in his hand, a big Wei flag fluttering in the wind behind him, and next to him were about a dozen other chariots, and Sima Cuo and several other generals were on these chariots.

Of course, there is a chariot next to Wei Hou, but there is a big flag with the word Zhou erected behind it, and it is obvious that this chariot is Zhou Bian's. Although this Zhouzi flag is not as big as the Wei flag, and the flagpole is not as high as the Wei flag, no one raised any objections, and it seems that it is not right.

Zhou Bian naturally didn't care about these subsections, seeing that the formations of both sides were arranged, Zhou Bian also stood up, put his hands on the pergola and looked at it, but saw that the Korean army on the opposite side had set up three large formations, which should be 30,000 people. And Zhou Bian only noticed at this time that the sun had risen high, and it seemed that the Wei army was attacking Luoyang compared to the Han army, but judging from the time, it was still very late. But is it because I was in bed this morning?

However, there is still a bit of a problem with the Wei army's choice of offensive direction, attacking from the west, isn't it just facing the sun in the morning? Did Wei Hou not pay attention, or did Wei Hou not care at all, but just sent troops to make a show and fool the Zhou royal family?

Sure enough, the formation was set up for a while, and on the road between the two rows of large formations in front and back, a chariot galloped over. When I ran closer, I realized that it was Sima Cuo, and soon Sima Cuo's voice came from Wei Hou's chariot beside him.

"Prince, we are facing the sun, and the siege of the city is not good for us, do you want to change direction or wait for the afternoon?"

Hearing Sima Cuo's question, Zhou Bian was confused again, since Sima Cuo participated in Wei Hou's plan to kidnap this king, then he should know Wei Hou's next steps, if Wei Hou really wanted to fool him, how could Sima Cuo come over and ask? Is it just to confuse the people of my Zhou royal family?

I saw that Wei Hou frowned, raised his eyes and looked, and then said, "It's okay, if you turn in other directions, you will lose morale, and if you wait for the afternoon, it will disturb the morale of the army." That's it, pass the order to go, the three divisions press up, and beat hard, so that the king of Zhou can see the majesty of my Wei army! ”

"No!" Sima Coo's hand was given up and he immediately arranged it.

Could it be that this is a double reed play, but it doesn't matter, the facts behind will explain everything, and no matter what the result is, Zhou Bian asked himself that he couldn't change it.

Since it can't be changed, let's watch the play to see Wei Jun's performance.

But he heard the voice of Wei Hou floating over on the chariot on the side, "Your Majesty, please see how my Wei army athletes defeated the Han army." ”

Zhou Bian turned around and nodded, signaling that he heard it, and then turned his head to look ahead, Zhou Bian was also really curious, how the Wei army attacked the city.

Just listening to the sound of the war drums, stepping on the drums, the three large formations in the front line walked forward in unison, and the steps were neat, and they were indeed much stronger than the Korean army walking in unison. This rhythm reminded Zhou Bian of some military parade scenes in film and television dramas in his previous life, the sound of his footsteps landing on the ground, although there was no bird's-eye view, but when he stood on tiptoe, the whole formation was still very neat even if it was not lined up horizontally and vertically.

Isn't this the formation that you are pursuing in your own training? I really didn't expect that in this era, it already exists. Wei Hou obviously did not know about his pursuit of military training and did it deliberately, so Wei Jun has been like this for many years.

No wonder they all said that the Wei army was the strongest soldier in the world, Zhou Bian couldn't help but nodded.

At this time, the three large formations of the Wei army had completely walked out, and suddenly after someone shouted, almost all the soldiers in the six large formations behind began to shout according to the rhythm, if they didn't pay attention, they would really be startled by the sudden shouting.

Zhou Bian looked around, only to see the spear Changge struck the ground with the other end of the wooden pole, while the sword and shield hand slapped the shield with the bronze sword in his hand. These two voices were in unison, and with the pace of the advance of the front army, the momentum soared into the sky.

"Ning Qing, the formation of the Wei army is really huge, even if this king hears it, he only feels terrified, and he really knows how much stronger it is compared to the Han army." Zhou Bian said softly.

Half of this is true, half is flattery.

Ning Yue arched his hand and was about to answer, but he heard a loud laugh coming from the chariot next to him, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Wei Hou who made the laughter.
