When the generals saw it, they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly called the marching doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and the marching doctor pulled out the arrow with iron tongs, and then applied gold sore medicine, during the treatment, Zhang Shicheng was in unbearable pain, and fainted in pain soon after waking up.
A group of Zhou army civil and military were anxious, and hurriedly asked the marching doctor about the injury, and the marching doctor looked extremely solemn, and said solemnly: "The archery general is powerful, and the arrow that King Cheng was hit by was three points into the bone, and the injury was serious, and King Cheng was frightened, and his heart was injured, and he couldn't heal in a hurry!" What's more serious is that arrow sores are very easy to recur, once King Cheng is angry during the recuperation period, the consequences are unimaginable, according to a certain opinion, King Cheng needs to go back to Gaoyou to recuperate! ”
When the generals heard this, their faces were immediately full of gloom, the battle lost nearly 6,000 soldiers, and the 30,000 male troops at the time of the expedition had already suffered more than half of the casualties, plus Zhang Shicheng was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and the sergeants of the army were panicked, and their morale fell to the bottom.
Ye Dexin, as the first strategist under Zhang Shicheng, is usually relied on by Zhang Shicheng, but this time Zhang Shicheng is unconscious, and all the generals recommend Ye Dexin to control the overall situation.
Ye Dexin was in danger, immediately cleaned up the defeated army, ordered all troops to guard the camp, and was not allowed to fight without the general's order, and at the same time, he arranged for the soldiers to dig deep ditches and build high bases to prevent the sneak attack of the broken army.
On the second day, Hu Dahai led the army to the front of the village to fight, Ye Dexin did not move, Hu Dahai then ordered someone to insult loudly, the soldiers of the Zhou army were resentful because of Zhang Shicheng's serious injury, and many generals were ready to move, and they were going to go out of the village to fight to the death with Hu Dahai.
Ye Dexin saw that the crowd would react like this, so he ordered the crowd not to act rashly, and if there was anyone who fought without authorization, he would be decided!
The generals were not convinced, and rushed to Ye Dexin's tent to ask for battle, Ye Dexin's eyes were a little dignified, and he said coldly: "King Cheng has not yet woken up from his coma, Ye Mou is in danger, and he must not let the army be in danger!" The generals will watch from the wall for the time being, our army's Dazhai is strong and easy to defend, the enemy army does not dare to attack, as long as our army does not hold out, the enemy army will retreat! ”
After Ye Dexin finished speaking, he ordered the generals to retreat, and the generals discussed in private, and they all felt that Ye Dexin was too cowardly!
Hu Dahai ordered the soldiers to scold the sunset from the early morning, and early in the morning of the third day, he brought people to scold the battle, and the generals came to Ye Dexin to ask for battle, and Ye Dexin still ordered the generals not to act rashly!
On the fourth day, Hu Dahai ordered his soldiers to scold Zhou Jun for being gutless rats, and at the same time, insulted Zhang Shicheng's ancestors for three generations, and clamored to capture Zhang Shicheng alive.
When the generals heard this, they were furious, and the anger and hatred gathered in their hearts were surging like a volcanic eruption, and they were about to rush out to fight.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report, saying that Zhang Shicheng had woken up from a coma, and the generals were overjoyed when they heard the news, and they rushed to see Zhang Shicheng.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Shicheng was lying on the bed, his face was pale, and when he saw the generals coming, he put down his body and blamed himself: "Since the beginning of this king's incident, he has played with the tartar between applause, and he has asked himself quite wisely. But this time to go out to break the army, this king underestimated the enemy several times, so he ended up defeated, now in retrospect, it really shouldn't be! ”
'The so-called Lord humiliates the ministers to death! As soon as Zhang Shicheng's voice fell, all the civil and military officers knelt down to confess, Zhang Shicheng glanced at everyone and ordered the generals to get up.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of drums and scolding from the broken army outside the village, and Zhang Shicheng heard it and immediately raised his eyebrows.
Ye Dexin seemed to have a plan in his heart, but he walked quickly to Zhang Shicheng's side and secretly showed a note to Zhang Shicheng.
After Ye Dexin returned to his original position, Zhang Shicheng coughed lightly a few times, frowned and asked, "There is a lot of noise and shouting outside the village, but something is wrong?" ”
The generals were worried that Zhang Shicheng would affect his injuries due to anger after knowing about Hu Dahai's insult and fighting, and after secretly communicating with each other, he replied in unison: "King Cheng, don't worry, this is just the sound of the training soldiers in the army!" ”
Zhang Shicheng's face changed sharply when he heard this, and he shouted: "You dare to deceive this king!" Now that the king is seriously injured and the army's spirit is unstable, then Deng Yue is well versed in the art of war, how can he not know to take advantage of the situation to attack, hum, I guess there must be an enemy army outside who is insulting and fighting! ”
Seeing that they couldn't hide it, Zhang Shicheng turned his eyes, looked at Ye Dexin coldly, and said angrily: "Ye Weizhang, since you are in charge of the army during the coma of this king, and the enemy army comes to insult and fight, why do you sit idly by?" ”
Ye Dexin saw Zhang Shicheng enter the state so quickly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, 'arrogant and stupid, humble and wise', and then replied 'in fear': "King Cheng is angry, how dare Weichen make a mistake, there is really a hardship here!" ”
"Say!" Suddenly, Zhang Shicheng's momentum burst out, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he suddenly shocked the Zhou army generals in front of the bed.
The 'panic' on Ye Dexin's face was even stronger, and he said: "King Cheng is seriously injured and unconscious, half of the officers and soldiers in the army lose their minds with anger and hatred, and half of them are afraid and want to withdraw the army. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Shicheng shouted angrily: "Nonsense! At present, our army is in danger of annihilation, and Wei Zhang is in charge of the overall situation, who does not know the general situation and dares to disturb the hearts of our army? ”
Li Bosheng saw that all the generals were silent, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "King Cheng is angry, the doctor has a word, King Cheng must not be angry, otherwise he will be angry, arrow sores will recur, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" King Cheng is the foundation of my Great Zhou, and we will never lose it, so we will think about withdrawing the army back to Gaoyou for the time being, and when King Cheng recovers from his injuries, it is not too late to take revenge! ”
As soon as Li Bosheng's voice fell, several generals immediately echoed, Zhang Shicheng's cold eyes narrowed into a thin line, and all the generals who looked at him were so frightened that their hearts beat faster.
Suddenly, Zhang Shicheng stood up with the pain and shouted: "You ignorant rats, you really don't know the general situation, this expedition, in order to avenge the 20,000 Great Zhou soldiers who died in vain, in order to expand the territory for my Great Zhou, I am the king of the Great Zhou, even if I die on the battlefield and return with a horse leather wrapper, it is also a great luck, how can you abolish the national affairs because of this king alone!" ”
Zhang Shicheng's righteous words scolded those generals who wanted to withdraw their troops, and they were all ashamed and unstoppable.
After Zhang Shicheng finished scolding, Ye Dexin immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "King Cheng is the respect of a country, and he doesn't spare his life, how can we be so afraid of death!" I, Ye Weizhang, am willing to follow the corpse of King Cheng's horse leather, expand the territory, and sweep the world! ”
"We are willing to follow the body of King Cheng's horse leather to expand the territory and sweep the world!" As soon as Ye Dexin's voice fell, all the generals in the tent also shouted in unison.
At this point, those generals who were originally reluctant to retreat have the heart to fight to the end again, Zhang Shicheng smiled secretly in his heart, his eyes were secretly in contact with Ye Dexin, and the two had a good heart, and this drama stabilized the turbulent military heart.
It didn't take long for the Zhou soldiers to walk out of the big tent of the Chinese army one after another, all with firm faces, found their subordinates, and conveyed Zhang Shicheng's order.
At this time, although the insults and fighting outside the village continued, they could no longer affect the military spirit of the Zhou army!
