Chapter 551: I See Mount Tai Collapse in Front (Part II)

PS: Everyone knows what day it is today, so there is only one chapter, and I hope that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become sisters and brothers O(∩_∩)O~

……

Although the winter rain has stopped and the snowflakes have not yet fallen, it is already very cold on the banks of Jishui at the end of October. The 30,000 troops gathered in Hedong, waiting for Confucius to go to "peace talks" with Zhao Wuxian.

At first, everyone did not speak because of the tension that the war was imminent, but as the sun turned westward little by little, they had been in Jibin for half an hour, but there was no sign of a fight in front of them. The soldiers and the people slackened off, and they sat on the ground, and some of them smiled and asked the military officials if they could find some wood and make a fire on the spot to keep warm.

The military officials also have warm wolf skins or rabbit skin furs, hats, and shoes, and they are warm, and they suffer from the cold. They glared at their subordinates coldly: "The ruling is still ahead, what if you want to make a fire in the back and disturb the horses?" Bear with me! If you feel cold, talk more! ”

So the soldiers could only move their hands and feet, or huddle together to keep warm, and at first the silence ceased, and the small talk was small at first, but gradually became louder.

"I'm from the outskirts of Qufu, I don't know where you're from?"

"Yangguan."

"Genmu."

"Father Liang!"

From the small talk, I learned that they came from various towns in the Lu country, with different accents, but their experiences were surprisingly similar, and most of them were simple ordinary people, and they never left their own Lilu even ten miles. Until one day, the township veterans gathered together in ignorance. Convey orders from the doctor.

"There's a war outside, the doctor has a summons......"

Until this time. For the first time, many of the people in the col knew that they were the subjects of a certain doctor, and it was these lords who had never met each other who had come to collect taxes from time to time.

The doctors promised that if they could join the army. They will be exempted from one year of hard labor next year, and those who do not obey will be subject to additional labor and double the tax, and they have no choice, so brothers, fathers and sons, and the township party will embark on the journey together.

The Lu army did not have a fixed uniform, and the higher-ranking soldiers could still bring their own armor, while the ordinary Lu people only brought a winter coat, and they did not have any weapons, a hoe that was sharp and sharp. Or a rudimentary stone spear made by tying stones to sticks with leather cords.

So they wore tattered hemp shoes and tattered clothes, and under the leadership of Shitian Shishi, they joined the private soldiers of the doctor in Shiyi, and then marched towards Qufu, the capital of the country, and gathered under the beautiful banner of Sanhuan.

"The house is beautiful, because of the. Not to mention the start of the house, because of the sting. On the way, unconsciously someone sang this distant ballad. What is the Xuanli, in fact, most Lu people have long been unaware. All they remembered was that it seemed to be a terrible beast, or a barbaric tribal name, that had once posed a mortal threat to their ancestors far away in Zongzhou.

And this time the enemy. It seems to be about the same.

An evil, greedy, Jin man who destroys the traditional order of the Lu State. Zhao Wuxian.

The enemy's temperament is not cared for, but the identity of a foreigner alone. It was enough to arouse the hostility of the xenophobic.

Since the establishment of the Lu State, there has never been a situation in which foreigners have been in power!

Until this time. Only then did someone remember that there was a salt shortage some time ago, and it seems that a lot of salt was transported from that Zhao Xiaosikou's territory.

"Xilu was originally the poorest place in the country of Lu, but now it is very rich!" Speaking of the salt shortage, some people made a gesture towards the west bank of Jishui.

"Have you been?"

"My neighbor's nephew has a township party who has been to the other side of the river as a businessman, and he said that there is now mulberry and hemp everywhere, and everyone has a store, and if it is a little worse, he can eat corn and soil salt at once, and he can have three sets of clothes in winter and summer...... but more, this person can't say it, after all, it is hearsay, and others don't believe it, they all say that he is bragging. The people of Lu are stingy, xenophobic and attach importance to the party in the countryside, not only rejecting foreigners, but also people in different towns and even different townships still distrust each other.

Instead, a taxi claiming to be from Fanyi came up and said, "What he said is true, I have seen with my own eyes that Xilu is indeed very rich. The taxes there are only half as much as in other places, and the labor is not heavy, but it is levied more frequently. ”

Looking at the people who were becoming more and more attracted to it, he smiled and continued: "In Xilu, there are many healers named Lingque, who will go to the countryside from time to time to see the poor and teach people how to prevent the plague. In Xilu, there was an order to walk in the fields all year round, and he taught the farmers how to plough deeply, how to plant corn in the wheat field, how to replace the field and fertilize the field, and how to make the land harvest all year round. In Xilu, there are also inspectors who wear black clothes and inspect the various towns with a straight face, forcing the weak and treating the people harshly, and the private taxation will be recorded by him and reported to Zhao Sikou to know, and they will all get the punishment they deserve. ”

The Lu people suddenly looked at each other: "In this world, there is still such a good place?" ”

"Not only that, in Xilu, the roads are very smooth, even if you walk at night, you don't have to worry about robbers, because the robbers are all exterminated, and the riders patrol the four borders, so there will be no hungry and crazy savages attacking Lilu. Those soldiers, who were called warriors, did not usually work as farmers, but spent half a year practicing how to use a sword to pierce a person's chest, how to build a spear into a fence, and how to erect a shield wall in front of the enemy! Those soldiers armed with short spears and halberds, if they meet you, they can defeat ten with one, and this is your enemy today! ”

Hearing this alarmist remark, Lu people's faces changed color.

A smart man muttered unconvinced: "Xilu is so good and strong, then why do you, Corporal Fan Yi, want to take refuge here?" ”

The "Corporal Fan Yi" didn't say anything, just smiled mysteriously and left. Before they could continue to ask, the military officials shouted impatiently and angrily: "Get up, get up, get up!" Grab your blades! ”

……

Is there a war? The Lu people jumped up smartly, and the tall man quickly stood up straight, stood on tiptoe and looked forward. The short ones can only stick to the back of the person, thinking back to the strength of the warrior that the samurai said, and feeling the fear of the unknown.

When will a rain-like crossbow fall overhead?

The warriors who lay down their spears. Have you started to wade through the water and head towards the other side?

They are people, front and back, left and right. You can't do anything, you have to bite the bullet. Wait for the command.

The drums will go forward, the gold will go back, those colorful flags are too difficult to identify, they can't do it, but these two points must be kept in mind.

"Bang bang!"

Mingjin, it's Mingjin!

The Lu people with sweat in their hands breathed a sigh of relief, and they began to turn around and squeeze behind them.

"Retreat, retreat!"

"What's going on. Aren't you going to cross the river to fight? Why did you just retreat! ”

"Mingjin is to withdraw troops, no need to fight!"

No one expected that just a simple Mingjin would create a small chaos in the rear of the Lu army, and some people wanted to squeeze forward, they were people from the Taishan area with strong folk customs, and they were in an urgent mood when they set off, dreaming of winning wealth and glory through war. But most of them wanted to retreat, they were timid and cold. I just want to get away from this place of right and wrong.

The officers were desperately trying to convey the correct order in the crowd: "Not to retreat, but to retreat half a mile!" Don't mess around, don't ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the soldier received a short sword from his waist. Suddenly he collapsed weakly, and was trampled under countless feet.

It was the ruthless hand of the "Corporal Fan Yi" who was just a strong Qua Xilu and praised Zhao Wuxian. He also had several assistants, who were smearing blood on their faces at this point. He hissed and shouted in the crowd: "Run away, the Ji clan is defeated!" ”

……

"What's going on. Didn't you let Mingjin retreat to half a mile away? Why is it chaotic in the back? Hearing the noise and quarrels behind him, and the sound of pushing, Ji Suns turned back in dissatisfaction and questioned his herald.

OR ...... Or the military officials and soldiers did not know the order, and took the short Ming Jin as the Long Ming Jin......" The herald broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and he replied with a sigh of pain.

He was a close confidant of the Ji family, so he knew a lot of insiders, and as early as June and July, the great sect Bo Kongqiu put forward a proposal to fall into the four capitals. However, the Ji family didn't do it until mid-September, which was not for no reason, and it took at least a whole month to gather the doctors of the Lu Kingdom to support the scene!

This is the grand occasion of today's "30,000 public disciples", but inside, these 30,000 people are very weak.

The yield per mu of Lu is low, there is no production in the hilly area, and the warehouse in Qufu is not rich, and the grain can only be barely supplied. Winter clothes don't need to be thought about, 30,000 winter clothes? Ji has this capital, but Ji Sunsi is reluctant to give it.

In addition, these soldiers have at most once or twice hunting drills under their respective doctors, and the joint training of 30,000 people has never been there, so not to mention the tacit understanding of cooperation, even the orders have not been unified.

In general, the drumbeat of the command of the troops, there are those who order the flags to open and close, those who order the troop vehicles to gallop, those who order the infantry to advance, those who order the troops to take over the blades, those who order the formation of the troops, and those who order the sit-up action. All six types of drum beats must be fully defined. In addition, there are many Mingjin, such as the short song is a temporary retreat of 100 steps, 500 steps, one mile, etc., and the long song is the withdrawal of the whole army.

The army of 30,000 with the above defects is like a giant with poor blood, and the brain ordered to raise the left foot, but the right foot moved, so it is not surprising that the formation was disrupted by a Ming Jin.

Ji Sunsi gritted his teeth in anger, in this so-called army, half of the soldiers from various doctors accounted for it, and the rest were Sanhuan's old foundations. The most annoying thing is that those miscellaneous soldiers are just making a mess, but even the soldiers of the Shusun clan are making a fuss and retreating, what is going on? Uncle Sun Zhouqiu, as the great Sima, why is he so dominant!

If it weren't for the Ji clan and the Meng clan's soldiers still holding their ground, if it weren't for Gongliangru running over to suppress the panic of the Shusun clan, the Lu army might have collapsed!

Gao Chai, a disciple of Confucius, came over and suggested: "The ruler, as I said, cannot retreat now, and it is safer to block the enemy on the shore of Jishui." ”

Ji Sunsi also began to regret it, just now his son Ji Sunfei was thrown off the boat by Zhao Wuxian, swam back in an ugly posture, and informed him of Zhao Wuxian's rude arrogance, as well as the declaration of war against Ji and Sanhuan!

At that time, Ji Sunfei said with a sad face: "He said that his father was not qualified to let him bow his head and ask us to retreat, and he personally led the army over to have a dignified battle with his father!" ”

Ji Sunsi laughed angrily: "The Zhao family is really arrogant, he actually wants to cross the water to attack me?" Do you really regard yourself as an invincible master and a pioneer? Okay, then we will retreat, and if we suddenly attack him halfway through, the Zhao clan will be defeated! Yuncheng will fall! ”

As for the dignified battle with Zhao Wuxian? Although the people of Lu are known as the state of etiquette and music, they have never paid attention to this, and the battle of the long spoon was defeated by not paying attention to the rules!

He forgot his gratitude to the benefactor who saved the people during the Yanghu Rebellion, and said viciously: "This time, even if I offend Zhao Qing of the Jin State, I will expel him from the Lu State!" ”

Anyway, if Jin Guo is to blame, just turn around and take refuge in Qi State. Although the State of Qi was defeated, but the vitality was not injured, the envoy of the Marquis of Qi lobbied Ji Sunsi many times, saying that the six secretaries of the Jin State were in their own affairs, and they might fight by themselves one day, and the Zhao family would die at that time, so there was nothing to fear, even if the troops were sent to attack, the State of Qi was willing to defend the west with the defense of the country for Lu.

Originally, he was able to get his wish when he was in the valley meeting, but unfortunately it was destroyed by the Zhao family!

So Ji Sunsi gave the order to retreat half a mile and make room for Zhao Bing to cross the river, but who would have thought that he would brew a bottle of bitter wine for himself.

Originally, this kind of unprovoked order and chaos was a common time encountered when marching and fighting in this era, and even when camping and resting, it would take a little time to restrain it, but what Ji Sunsi didn't expect was that there were people in the formation who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic shouting, saying that the Ji clan was defeated! This made the already chaotic Lu army confused, and the people in the back were panicked.

Now he can't advance or retreat, it's difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only find a way to make up for it, anyway, it will take half an hour for Zhao Bing to cross the water......

But Ji Suns's opponent didn't give him a chance to reorganize the array and move the team.

"Da Situ, a detachment of men and horses has come from the north!"

Ji Sunsi's face turned pale, pedaling into the distance, and sure enough, an enemy army came from the north side of the 30,000-strong army, with three or four thousand people. From a distance, almost all of them are wearing armor, which is no different from the description of "Corporal Fan Yi", it is the elite of the soldiers!

The uncle and grandson who were placed on the right flank suddenly exploded, and the enemy army was still a few miles away, so they rushed to turn around and evacuate.

"It turns out that the main force of the Zhao family is in the north, and we have been fooled......"

To add insult to injury, several midplanes full of crossbowmen also came from the upper reaches of Jishui in the south, and they relied on the barrier and deck height of the ship, and under the fire of thousands of crossbows, the soldiers of the Ji clan and the Meng clan on the shore had to retreat.

The rout of the right flank of the Lu army, the retreat of the Chinese army and the left flank confirmed the news that "the Ji family has been defeated", and everyone in the rear believed that it was true, and the herald sent by Ji Sunsi could not stop the disciples who did not know the truth from fleeing. Not to mention the lone soldier, even the doctor's horse began to turn around and gallop, lest he fall behind.

"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops!" Ji Sunsi was completely panicked, and a long Ming Jin sounded, this time it was really evacuating.

"Defeated, defeated! The Ji clan is defeated, and the Lu army is defeated! This lie has now become true, the fleeing Lu pawn is talking, the doctor holding the eight bridles is beating desperately, the wet Ji Sun Fei is talking, and the crown is crooked Mengsun He Ji is also talking......

When the Zhao soldiers on the west bank also began to wade across the river, the Lu army on the east bank began to collapse before they came into contact with the enemy......

"Mount Tai collapsed in front of me, and it is honest that he ...... words"

Moored on the middle wing in the middle of Jishui, Kong Qiu watched the rout of the Sanhuan army and sighed helplessly.

Angry with it, sad about its misfortune......

Zhao Wuxian said that he invited him to board the ship to protect him, which should be true, but seeing Mount Tai collapse in front of him, although he was not shocked and dizzy, he also felt a pain in his temples, his fingers were deeply into the flesh, and his heart was inexplicably sad, which was more uncomfortable than killing him and imprisoning him......

"Sanhuan is over, Lu Guo is over, and Zhou Li is prosperous...... It's completely over. ”

The old man closed his eyes in pain, mourning, no more than heart death, and human death is secondary...... (To be continued.) )
