Chapter 403: The First Clash Between the Two Kings
Under the hazy sky, Wang Yu Wenxian of the Northern Zhou Qi sat quietly on horseback, looking out at the vast wilderness in the distance, without a trace of expression on his face. Seven or eight hundred meters behind him, is a not very wide pipe, on both sides of the pipe is a continuous hill, which is overgrown with all kinds of broad-leaved trees, because it is late autumn, the leaves are mostly yellow, and there are many fallen leaves in the autumn wind, leaving the branches, floating slowly in the air, as if nostalgic for the beauty of life.
"Winter is coming!" Yu Wenxian gently took a fallen leaf on his shoulder that had just fallen silently to his eyes, looked at the clear yellow, suddenly felt a little sad, and sighed lonely.
The 300,000 army, when it came, was mighty, pneumatic mountains and rivers, and when it went, it was also overwhelming, and the prestige was great, but the ambition of destroying the enemy country in one fell swoop was not realized. Such a result is really a great blow and regret for Yu Wenxian and other high-spirited generals.
Although Yu Wenxian knows that from the overall situation, Yu Wenyong's approach is right. After all, the enemies of the Zhou State were not only the Qi State, but also the Chen State, the Turkic State, or the Tuyuhun further west, and the Goguryeo, Kumoxi, and Yuwen Yong in the north were far more than just a Qi State.
The 300,000 troops of the Eastern Expedition were recruited by Yuwen Yong three years ago by forbidding the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, and the cowardly kindness in them has long since ceased to exist, and all that remains is invincible faith and blood bravery. It was precisely with these 300,000 troops that Yuwen Yong dared to threaten to destroy Chen Qi and unify the world.
Jinju is new, the people's hearts are unstable, and the Zhou State wants to confront the Qi State before it has a firm foothold, not to mention that it is very unwise to do so, but because they are invaders and have no righteousness, Gao Wei is a righteous teacher, and the division is famous and boundless. In order to preserve his strength, on the whole, Yu Wenyong does not strive for the gains and losses of a state, and it is not wrong to choose to retreat temporarily.
The State of Qi has been fundamentally decayed, even if there is a virtuous monarch appearing, is it really like what Yu Wenxin said? And Gao Wei is young and strong, and he has a monopoly on power, not to mention that the people from perverted families are all from the same hill, what are the chances of this happening?
From the perspective of a soldier and a general, it is not appropriate to retreat without a fight, but from a commander who coordinates the overall situation and is in charge of a country, the emperor, stability is responsible for himself, the country, and the people.
Because he knew this, he did not have the slightest complaint about the dangerous task that Yu Wenyong handed over to him. The man's husband, born to gallop the world, died as a horse leather shroud, for the glory of the Great Zhou, he is willing to sacrifice everything!
"Bang bang!"
Not long after, Yuwen Yong suddenly heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in his ears, feeling the tremor of the earth, looking at the earth dragon that appeared in the distance, Yuwen Yong secretly said "so fast", and his calm face suddenly became extremely serious.
"General, the pursuers of the Qi State are here!" Yu Wenxin held the steel spear in his hand tightly and said with a solemn face.
Yu Wenxian bowed his head slightly, stared at the front intently, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, the foot soldiers retreat into the valley, the battle situation is favorable, form a battle formation, all the cavalry are in front of the arrow, ready to charge!" ”
"Yes!" Yu Wenxin responded and immediately began to convey Yu Wenxian's order. Zhou Jun is all well-trained, and when he gave the order, everyone acted quickly, in an orderly manner, with few noises, so Yu Wenxian felt a lot more at ease.
There were 10,000 men in charge of the break, but there were only 1,000 cavalry, so when all the foot soldiers retreated into the valley, the originally congested valley mouth suddenly became empty. A thousand cavalry lined up in a tight arrow formation behind Yu Wenxian, and the sharp aura of slaughter spread far away, although there were only a thousand people, but the momentum could catch up with four or five thousand people.
After a while, Qi Jun finally arrived closer, looking at the dense and boundless sea of red at a glance, Yu Wenxian couldn't help but take a cool breath in his heart, and his mood couldn't help but be a little heavy. Although he couldn't look down on the combat effectiveness of the Qi army, he knew the truth that the ants bit the elephant to death, and looking at this posture, the Qi army's pursuers were only afraid of nearly 30,000.
Yu Wenxian took a deep breath, calmed down, and then took the reins of his horse and trotted towards the Qi army.
"General! Rajah! Yu Wenxin and other generals were suddenly taken aback by Yu Wenxian's risky move, and they all spoke out to stop them.
Yu Wenxian didn't look back, still approaching the red tide at an even speed, but the cold, unquestionable voice came, so that everyone could hear it clearly: "Listen to the order!" ”
Yu Wenxin stretched out his hand, and wanted to say something, but looking at Yu Wenxian's broad back and the black cloak fluttering in the wind, feeling the indomitable momentum on his body, he couldn't help but close his mouth, just widened his eyes, clenched the barrel of the gun, and was ready to support at any time.
The Qi army rushed like the wind, but when they saw that the enemy was out of battle alone, they couldn't help but stop in surprise. Under the banner of the commander of the Qi army, a silver-armored general pointed forward with a horsewhip in his hand, and shouted arrogantly: "Who is coming? ”
"This king is Yu Wenxian, the king of Qi of the Great Zhou Empire." Yuwen Xianyang replied, paused, and continued: "Who are you, and report your name, this king will not kill nobodies!" ”
"Phew! Yu Wenxian, you lost your family, you dare to make a lot of nonsense when you are dying! The silver-armored general was suddenly furious, and shouted with a hideous face: "Listen well, this king is Gao Xiaoheng, the king of Guangning of the Great Qi Empire, and today I am specially ordered by my emperor to take your dog's life!" Yu Wenxian, if you know each other, you will obediently tie your hands, and you will suffer less, otherwise the king's 30,000 army will attack, how can you wait for the thieves to have all the corpses? Hahahaha! ”
"Victory! Win! There are no dead bodies! There are no dead bodies! The 30,000 Qi army shouted loudly together, and the sound was like a landslide and tsunami, earth-shattering. Forced by this momentum, the horses under the crotch of the Zhou cavalry became a little restless, but fortunately, the two sides were far apart, so that they did not cause much turmoil.
"The dignified King Qi can only bully the less, narrow-minded, and timid as a mouse, which really disappoints this king! Compared to Gao Changgong, the king of Sui, you are too far behind! Yu Wenxian glanced at Gao Xiaoheng with a disappointed face, and suddenly changed his words, and shouted: "If you want to fight, I will fight, so that you, the rat, can see how heroic my Da Zhou boy is!" ”
"Ahh The dog thief is rampant, and he is angry with me! Gao Xiaoheng jumped like thunder, his face was originally very delicate, but now it was distorted into a ball, which was extremely terrifying, "Today, this king will come to meet you and see if you are famous!" As he spoke, Gao Xiaoheng threw away the horsewhip, drew the gorgeous sword at his waist, and was about to rush out of the battle to fight Yu Wenxian.
Gao Xiaoheng, the king of Guangning in the Northern Qi Dynasty, is the second son of Gao Cheng, the emperor of Wenxiang of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the second brother of Gao Changgong. He was very knowledgeable and versatile, especially in painting and music, which was rare in the Gao royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Among the six sons of Wenxiang, except for Gao Changgong, only he has a better reputation. Although his temper has also inherited the violence of the Gao clan, he is not Gao Wei, Gao Xuan and others who do not learn and have no skills.
However, Gao Xiaoheng's attitude towards Gao Changgong is no different from that of other brothers, in addition to being jealous of Gao Changgong's outstanding ability in all aspects, but also because of the latter's not-so-bright identity. No one wants to live under the light of others, especially the royal family who was born destined to be noble and extraordinary, how can it be compared to a person with an improper status?
Yu Wenxian's praise of Gao Changgong is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Gao Xiaoheng in public, how can he not be angry?
"Wang, how can Yu Wenxian do it for you? The last general is willing to take back the thief's head on behalf of the king! But a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, nearly two meters tall, and a fierce and strange face stopped in front of Gao Xiaoheng's horse. At this time, he was looking at Gao Xiaoheng with a serious face, and his eyes were full of strong war intent.
"Helan leopard?" Gao Xiaoheng was stunned.
"Your Majesty, you are the commander of the whole army, how can you easily get into danger? General Helan is extremely brave, and he is the best person to kill the Yuwen dog thief! The surrounding generals spoke one after another. Yu Wenxian's prestige is like thunder, how can they make Gao Xiaoheng easily take risks. It doesn't matter if he dies, what matters is that if he dies, everyone will be greatly implicated.
The anger in Gao Xiaoheng's heart suddenly dissipated a lot, and his mood calmed down. He was self-aware, knowing that Wuwen was good at making ink, but he was not good at fighting on the battlefield, so he looked at Helan Leopard calmly and said: "What you said is reasonable, just Yu Wenxian is not qualified to call this king to make a move!" General Helan, you will go to meet the battle on behalf of this king, and this king will warm wine to wait for good news! ”
"I will not disgrace my life!" Helan Leopard agreed loudly, stood up, exuded a monstrous battle intent, turned over on the horse, and hit the horse's buttocks with the iron lance in his right hand, and the horse suddenly neighed, and its four bodies moved, shooting towards Yu Wenxian like electricity.
"Yu Wenxian, your Helan leopard grandfather is here, eat me!"
"I can't help myself!" Yu Wenxian's face turned cold, and he shouted coldly: "Kill!" After speaking, Yu Wenxian suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist, raised it above his head, and then swung it forward vigorously.
"Soldiers, be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and make meritorious contributions at this time, kill with me!" Yu Wenxin couldn't wait, and when he got Yu Wenxian's signal, he immediately raised his voice and shouted, and rushed on his horse.
"Kill !!" The cavalry of the 1,000 Zhou Army suddenly shouted in unison, and rushed towards the Qi army on horseback, and the murderous spirit and battle intent were condensed together, forming an extremely amazing momentum. Although there were only a thousand of them, Qi Jun felt as if there were ten thousand horses galloping in front of them, which made their hearts throb.
"What a thief, he actually cheated!" Gao Xiaoheng saw Zhou Jun suddenly pounce, and immediately understood Yu Wenxian's plan, cursed angrily, and shouted: "Chong, kill all Zhou thieves for this king!" ”
"Kill!" When the Qi army received the order, he didn't dare to slack off, he riveted his strength, and rushed forward with a shout in unison.
