Chapter 66: The Contest between the Two Armies (5)

Li Guihu asked suspiciously: "Why does my king look like he is sure of victory?" ”

"Victory is already in hand!" Ji Yan said in a deep voice: "This king doesn't fight a battle that he is not sure of, you just wait to see a good show!" ”

Although Li Gui was full of questions, he had great confidence in this young man, so he closed his mouth and watched the battle with peace of mind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ji Yan called Li Sui, who was standing on the sidelines watching the battle, and explained in a low voice.

Li Sui's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he responded excitedly: "No! And he hurried away.

As the two chamberlains pressed down the flags in their hands, a drum suddenly sounded, and Wei sternly shouted: "Kill!" He rushed out first, and the seven hundred forbidden troops behind him shouted loudly at the same time, forming a tight phalanx to follow closely.

Reinforcements also rushed up under the leadership of Ji Che. He himself led 300 cavalry in the center, another 500 Eastern Zhou cavalry led by a brigade commander on the right, and Western Friday 100 cavalry led by another brigade commander on the left, and the three phalanxes marched side by side, rolling towards the forbidden army, which was less than half in number.

For a time, the cry rumbled, and the earth shook.

At a distance of three hundred paces, under the feet of two cavalry charging at high speed, it was pulled within a hundred paces in a few blinks.

Ji Che in the charge looked at the wooden stick in his hand and shook his head secretly, if he could use a bow and arrow, Lao Tzu would have shot the group of rotten goods on the opposite side into a hornet's nest, but he couldn't use arrows, and even the weapon was replaced with such a broken thing, isn't this child's play? shook his head, and shouted loudly: "The geese march, open!" ”

With Ji Che's order, the left and right phalanxes began to accelerate, gradually surpassing the central phalanx, forming a geese marching array with two wings rushing forward.

Hehe, play cavalry with me, tender! If Lao Tzu doesn't surround you and annihilate you, it will be considered a failure! Ji Che was thinking proudly, when suddenly his face changed greatly, and he found that the other party's cavalry did not rush head-on, but turned around, and under the leadership of its leader, drew an arc and rushed towards the right at a rapid speed. If the reinforcement team does not change direction, don't say that the forbidden army will be surrounded by such a straight rush, and even the tail of its team will not be able to reach it.

What is this way to play? Why haven't you ever seen this tactic? Is it to concentrate forces on one of my wings? But the angle of this change of direction is too big, and it continues to change direction, and if it continues to develop like this, they will slip away from the diagonal front! Ji Che didn't have time to think about it, so he thought about changing direction to pursue, but the wild goose array had already unfolded, if it changed direction now, the three phalanxes might collide by themselves, and in desperation, he had to order again: "The wild goose will change into an arrow, and the Ouroboros will pursue the enemy." ”

Changing formations in high-speed running is a great test of the general's command ability and the soldier's riding skills. Fortunately, these soldiers were all well-trained and skilled in horsemanship, and after hearing Ji Che's shout, the wings on both sides of the wild goose formation gradually slowed down, and the phalanx in the center began to accelerate under the leadership of Ji Che, and after a while, a sharp arrow formation with Ji Che as the arrow was formed.

It's just that at this time, the forbidden army has rushed to the right a hundred paces away.

Ji Che pulled the reins of the horse vigorously, controlled the war horse to change direction to the right, and followed the forbidden army. The soldiers behind also changed direction, keeping up with the leader's pace.

In this way, the two sides become a chase between you and me, not like a contest between the high and the low, but a contest to see whose horse runs faster.

Wei Yan led the forbidden cavalry team to rush forward, and soon rushed out of the edge of the competition field, but he had no intention of stopping at all, and continued to rush towards Luoshui, which was a mile away.

An hour ago, the Son of Heaven explained two things to him, one is that the forbidden soldiers can't eat too much, just make a bottom, he doesn't understand, how can he have the strength to compete with his opponent if he is not full? The second is not to contact the reinforcements after the start of the fight, to find a way to run away with the reinforcements, at least run ten miles, and then you can start fighting, he is also puzzled, the two armies are fighting, the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and the tactics of escaping at the beginning have not been heard of.

Until now, he is still confused by the explanation of the Son of Heaven, but it does not prevent him from strictly carrying out the order: not to let the forbidden army eat more, and to run away with reinforcements, all of which have been complied with.

Soon, the forbidden army team rushed to Luoshui, Wei Yan led the team to gallop along Luoshui, ran for about five miles, and then controlled the war horse to turn around and run back towards the competition venue.

Ji Che, who was chasing behind, was completely confused, what was the forbidden army going to do if he kept running like this? If you don't understand, you don't want to, the war horses of the forbidden army are obviously inferior to your side, as long as you bite tightly, there will always be a moment to catch up.

When he came to Luoshui's edge, Ji Che was already less than fifty steps away from the tail of the forbidden army, and if he continued to chase like this, he should be able to catch up in less than a quarter of an hour. Ji Che was secretly happy in his heart, and shouted again: "Accelerate, accelerate, you are about to catch up!" The soldiers of the cavalry reinforcements were all enthusiastic, and they beat the horses so hard that the horses were about to fly.

When Ji Che was happy, he suddenly felt a faint pain in his stomach, and it gradually became intense, the cold sweat of the pain flowed out, and his face couldn't help but change greatly: It's not good, because he was too full just now, and he went directly to the horse to fight without resting, and after a violent bumpy gallop, it caused a stomachache. He looked to the left and right, and saw that the other soldiers were also in pain, probably because they had eaten too much, and now they were starting to have a stomachache.

To confirm this, he asked aloud, "Do you have a stomachache?" ”

"It hurts!"

"It hurts a little!"

"It hurts!"

The painful voices of the soldiers came into Ji Che's ears, making him tremble like a lightning strike, almost not even grabbing the reins of the horse, and scolding in his heart: Ji Dong, Ji Dong, you old fox, you can make us miserable!

Just when he was having dinner just now, Ji Dong came over with a few carts of wine, saying that it was the wine of the Son of Heaven to reward the army, and thanked the reinforcements for helping the construction of the Zhou Room.

At that time, Ji Gen had doubts: "What tricks is the Son of Heaven going to play?" ”

Ji Che thought for a while and said, "We are about to compete with the forbidden army, does the Son of Heaven want to get us drunk, and then we can easily win?" ”

Dong Zhou Gong nodded: "This must be the meaning!" Ji Dong, you bring the wine back, and say that my father is grateful to the Son of Heaven for his kindness, but I don't want this wine. ”

Ji Dong said: "The Duke of Eastern Zhou and General Ji are ridiculous! The Son of Heaven specially explained that the cavalry reinforcements were about to compete with the forbidden army, and they could not be allowed to drink, and these drinks could only be drunk by others. You see, is the Son of Heaven the kind of person you think he is? ”

With that, Ji Gen and Ji Che had nothing to say, so they distributed the wine to the other reinforcements.

At the time of the meal, Ji Dong toasted everywhere on behalf of the Son of Heaven, so that everyone could drink well, the men in the army had a lot of alcohol, and they did not refuse to come, and the one who drank was called a lively, so that the cavalry who could not drink were hot.

After saluting the others, Ji Dong came to the cavalry team again, and he also wanted to respect everyone on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Ji Che glared angrily: "We can't drink alcohol at all, what do you respect?" ”

Ji Dong said with a smile: "Toast on behalf of the Son of Heaven, this is etiquette, and it cannot be abolished." Since you can't drink alcohol, how about eating instead? The Son of Heaven toasts, but he can't shirk it, not to mention, eat more and have more strength to compete with the forbidden army. ”

Ji Che couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, the first time I heard it, I actually used eating instead of drinking." ”

A sergeant next to him said: "Since the Son of Heaven toasts, this is a great honor, and eating instead of eating." ”

The others shouted, "Okay, the boss will drink a bowl, and we'll eat a bowl." As he spoke, someone took a huge copper bowl for the army, and watched Ji Dong's jokes.

Even other soldiers who didn't have to participate in the battle ran over, and shouted when they saw the excitement and were not afraid of big things: "The old boss drinks, the cavalry eats, Cai!" "The atmosphere was very lively.
