The army marched straight to two hundred paces outside the Gongyi soldiers before stopping, and it was already possible to see the slight commotion of the Gongyi soldiers on the opposite side, but it quickly calmed down. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info two hundred steps is the standard distance between the two armies at this time, because the conventional bow and arrow can only shoot dozens of steps, and the strong crossbow is only more than 100 steps, in order to avoid being killed by the opponent's strong crossbow concentrated shooting as soon as the boss comes up, so two hundred steps is a safe distance.

Luoyang's army stopped suddenly, so Zhou Bian's ears suddenly quieted down the whole world, took a deep breath, calmed his nervous heart, Zhou Bian put his hand on his forehead, and looked forward, but saw that the other party just raised a spear, and did not take the initiative to attack. I thought that the Gongzi class would close the city gate and rely on the city wall to fortify, but I didn't expect them to run out and chose to defend with their backs to the city wall, but after thinking about it again, Zhou Bian figured it out, maybe the Gongzi class thought that Luoyang and the royal family only came with less than 4,000 people, and Gongyi also had nearly 3,000 soldiers, so they had the courage to do so.

However, what Zhou Bian didn't expect was that in fact, Gongziban also had a hardship that he couldn't say, if he could repel the enemy soldiers or consume the enemy soldiers on the high city wall, why not do it, he really knew his own family affairs, looking at Gongyi and the city wall from a distance, but in fact it was only two people high and five steps wide, if he really relied on the city wall to defend, he was afraid that the Luoyang soldiers would rush up with a ladder, and it would be better to go out of the city and form a formation. Gongziban's newly built Gongyi city wall is not to prevent the enemy from attacking, but to prevent Luoyang or Chengzhou from mixing spies or assassins from coming in.

It's just that what the childe class didn't expect was that knowing that he had the support of South Korea, Luoyang and Cheng Zhou would actually take the initiative to fight, and last time he took the Han army to directly chase down Luoyang City, and this self-confidence with his back to the big tree was also the reason why the boy's class did not desperately repair the city wall again. It's a pity that the childe class believes in South Korea too much, so he doesn't care about the Korean war, and he still doesn't know that South Korea has just been defeated.

Therefore, Gongziban was also puzzled, could it be that the royal family had received strong reinforcements from which princes, so they had the courage to come to the door, so the Gongyi soldiers only took precautions and sent a junior colonel in the army to drive a chariot and come forward to ask questions.

After Luoyang stabilized the formation, Zhou Gong came up and emphasized again, "King, let's see that the widow will rush the chariot for a while, and he will definitely be washed to pieces." Today, the king can have lunch in Gongyi City! ”

Zhou Gong's words did not show any respect, but a strong arrogance, and he couldn't wait to show his strength, but Zhou Bian had no choice but to give it up. The two of them talked a few more words, and suddenly heard someone shouting on the other side of the battle array, and saw that it was actually a chariot sent by Gongyi, nearly a hundred steps away, and was shouting for someone to answer here. When the two armies face each other, it is natural to first send people to ask each other about their intentions, and then either accuse the other party of flaunting their own righteousness, or directly scolding each other, which is a necessary procedure for the self-proclaimed army of benevolence and righteousness in ancient times, and in Zhou Bian's view, the Spring and Autumn War is unrighteous, knowing that there are many dirty things hidden behind the war, but what still has to be said is a high-sounding performance, but it is a manifestation of the Chinese who want to face since ancient times.

Perhaps he wanted to show himself in front of Wang Jia, Zhou Gong waved his hand and wanted to personally step forward to accuse the other party, but he was stopped by Ning Yue, who came from the carriage, "Lord, the other party is just a nameless soldier, how can you drive the horse." ”

"Well, yes, then Ning Aiqing will go out for the widow!" Zhou Gongyi thought that it did make sense.

Ning Yue shook his head again, "The lord came at the invitation of the royal family, and the royal family should naturally come forward to shout before the battle." Isn't that what you say, my lord? The latter sentence went straight to Zhou Bian.

Not knowing how to answer for a while, Zhou Bian began to quickly think about the other party's intentions in his mind, but he didn't expect that the young master on the other chariot behind him jumped out of the car and stepped forward on foot, "Duke Zhou, the royal family has always relied on the Duchy of Zhou in Luoyang, if the Duke of Zhou sends someone to hold the other party accountable for today's war, wouldn't it show the courage of the Duke of Zhou to support the royal family?" ”

Ning Yue naturally does not follow, "It has always been an order from above, and today the royal family led the princes to go on the expedition, and the royal family declared righteousness in front of the battle, which is more justified and righteous, and the division is famous!" ”

"No, the king is personally recruited, and everything is naturally done by the princes, how can the king personally send people?" The young master naturally didn't follow, the strength of the royal family was not good, but he still wanted face, so the masters on both sides didn't speak, but the two ministers quarreled with each other.

I only listened to the two of them in their ears for a while, one of them said that they were the king, and they never won or lost, and they were the opponents in chess. There is no time to sigh that the young master, who has always been silent, is so able to speak so well when he fights, Zhou Bian frowned and looked at the front of the battle, the Gongyi junior colonel scolded Zhenghuan, quite for the master's son-in-law class to seek justice, and then look at the Luoyang soldiers on their side have begun to talk to each other, ordinary soldiers do not understand the country's righteousness, all they see is that others are scolded, but their own side is noisy, no one comes forward, I don't know, I am afraid that no one dares to come forward.

Looking at Zhou Gong again, but he was touching his mustache and looking at the quarreling two people with no heart and lungs on the side, smiling, it seemed that he was very happy, Zhou Bian couldn't help sighing, although he said that he had a foreshadowing, but there were too many variables, if he lost his momentum before the battle, I was afraid that it would be really difficult to capture Gongyi, and what would Luoyang talk about if Gongyi could not be captured? Originally, he wanted to serve Zhou Gong's softness first, and it would be useless to say more, so Zhou Bian didn't want to care so much, so he turned his head and commanded Fan Yu, "Fan Aiqing, you will take the carriage of the young master and step forward to answer, you must highlight the righteousness and majesty of my royal family!" ”

"Yes, do as the king commands!" Fan Yu is not a person of nonsense, after saluting with the halberd in both hands, he jumped down, held the two-person long halberd, jumped on the chariot behind him, and rushed out with a shout.

And the argument between the two here naturally ended with Fan Yu's car leaving with the dust, Ning Yue was nothing, and saluted Zhou Bian and the young master as usual, and then retreated to the other side of Zhou Gong's carriage. The young master naturally didn't think much about it, and retreated to Zhou Bian's side, but Zhou Gong raised his neck high like a rooster who had won a battle, half mocking, half proud expression. Too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Gong, Zhou Bian turned his head to pay attention to Fan Yulai.

It was boring, and Zhou Gong had no choice but to pay attention to the front of the two armies. I saw Fan Yu's carriage going farther and farther, leaving behind the dust all the way and gradually approaching the other party. I couldn't hear what they were saying from hundreds of paces away, but they were full of fire on both sides. After a moment of scolding, there was no winner or loser, but the soldiers on both sides were quiet, and the scolding before the battle was related to the morale of the two armies, so everyone silently prayed that their side could scold each other back.

Zhou Bian knows about Fan Yu's ability, the last time he ambushed Gongyi and came to harass a small group of people in Chengzhou, it was Fan Yu who stepped forward, and it was from then on that Zhou Bian knew that Fan Yu had the ability to scold, after all, this time the prince still had the upper hand in etiquette and reason, according to etiquette, it was the monarch's important ministers who had to die, and the Gongzi class was still nominally a minister of the royal family, and it stands to reason that Gongyi has been the land of the royal family since ancient times, the granary of the Son of Heaven, and it is not right to say where the Gongzi class forcibly occupies it, So Zhou Bian is still very confident in Fan Yu.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw that the other party's junior colonel seemed to be really angry, and kept waving the halberd in his hand, according to who was angry first and who fell behind, but Fan Yu was about to win. As expected, after a while, the other party's little colonel finally couldn't help it, and drove up with a horse, straightened his halberd forward, and rushed towards Fan Yu. If you don't agree with each other, you can draw your sword and face each other, and this is also applicable to the battle array.

And whoever makes the first move is the one who loses, but it has been known to people since ancient times, so as soon as they saw this, Luoyang and Cheng Zhou knew that Fan Yu had won the scolding, so they immediately let out a burst of laughter, which was a laugh and ridicule, and Gongyi was a little restless. In fact, up to now, the scolding before the battle cannot finally distinguish who loses and who wins, because in ancient times, the advocating of force, especially the customary heads-up before the battle, is directly related to the morale of the two armies.

But Zhou Bian is not worried, others don't know, can he still know, Fan Yu is not only good at swordsmanship, but also unambiguous in the use of halberd and spear. Looking at the battle again, seeing that the other party rushed over, Fan Yu was naturally not a hiding master, he raised the halberd in his hand, shouted, and greeted him. In ancient times, the chariot battle was three to three, a chariot was divided into three people, the left and right of the chariot, the left of the chariot was responsible for archery, and the right of the chariot was responsible for the close fighting. And the halberd of this car battle is also different from the foot battle, because the two cars can not be too close, if they are close, they are afraid that the two cars will crash into each other and be paralyzed, so the halberd is actually two people long, and it is nearly four meters long by the current standard.

Fan Yu and the little school were both on the right side of the car, so both cars went to the left, because they were too close to shoot arrows, so they both rushed over with halberds. When the two carts staggered, I saw two halberds with the huge inertia of the carriage in the distance, colliding together, and suddenly the armies on both sides fell silent.

In front of the battle, the two halberds quickly separated after touching each other, and judging from the reaction of the two of them, it was Fan Yu who suffered a little loss, and he could see clearly from hundreds of steps, Gongyi's small school stood firmly on the car, but Fan Yu seemed to have suffered a dark loss, and his body fell backwards, and he stopped only when he leaned against the back bar of the car.

After this move, the situation in the positions on both sides changed immediately, Luoyang was silent, but Gongyi seemed to hear someone cheering. Although he was a little happy to see the royal family make a fool of himself, Duke Zhou didn't want to lose his morale so quickly before the battle, so his face quickly turned up, and he glared back at Ning Yue, as if he was blaming Ning Yue for talking too much and letting the people of the royal family go, otherwise if the warriors from Luoyang went, they would definitely not suffer.

Ning Yue naturally didn't react, he looked at the field calmly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and at this time there was also Zhou Bian who was also calm on Luoyang's side, but Zhou Bian knew in his heart that Fan Yu was just a little younger and hadn't grown up, so he was naturally inferior in strength.

Sure enough, after the two cars on the field staggered, they all pulled back the horse, and after going around in a circle, they turned around and hedged again, seeing that Fan Yu did not lose his fighting spirit, Luoyang didn't care about it much, shouting to cheer for Fan Yu, and Zhou Gong also clenched his fists tightly.

The two chariots that gathered everyone's eyes finally raised their speed again, the distance between the two chariots became closer and closer, and seeing that the right side of the two chariots was holding up a long halberd, at this moment that thousands of people were worried, Zhou Bian couldn't help but hold his breath.
