Chapter 55: The First Victory
Tian Rui patted his thigh hatefully, his left eyelid jumped straight when he got up today, and he had a premonition that something bad was wrong, but he never thought that his back would be like this, and he couldn't even kill a deserter to get angry, the footsteps and screams behind him were already clearly audible, he sighed, threw away his helmet, lay on the back of his horse, and ran all the way in the tide of rout.
Wang Huaqiang breathed a long sigh of relief, and smiled at He Ruobi: "General He is like a god, our army is really like a heavenly soldier, it seems that winning today will not be a problem." ”
He Ruobi's face became more and more solemn, and he shook his head gently: "The fierce enemy is coming." ”
Wang Huaqiang was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at the Chen army Tian Rui, who had collapsed, at this time only saw thousands of defeated soldiers, throwing away their armor and running wildly, even the Tianzi banner of the Chinese army was nowhere to be found, and Tian Rui who was suppressing the soldiers from a distance just now was already caught in the torrent of defeated soldiers, and he didn't know where to run.
However, when Wang Huaqiang saw Lu Guangda's army about a mile behind Tian Rui's headquarters, it was a completely different situation, this was a quiet army, compared with the tsunami in the mountains and mountains when Lu Guangda made a speech before the battle earlier, it was simply like two armies.
The spearmen on the front line of Lu Guangda's army held three or four meters long rifles and formed a gun formation like a forest like the Sui army, and in the eyes of the soldiers in the front row, there was only a cold killing intent, nothing else, and what was even more surprising was that Lu Guangda's Lu character handsome flag actually stood at the front of the camp, not the middle and rear of the general army.
Wang Huaqiang's face changed, and he sighed: "The front has already been defeated like a mountain, how can this Lu Guangda's troops still be so calm?" ”
He Ruobi stood up, looked at Lu Guangda, who was standing at the front of the whole army with a horizontal sword in the distance, and said: "It seems that I really underestimated Lu Guangda this time, I didn't expect him to be able to train his subordinates so well, the 30,000 soldiers under him should be the elite of the elite of the Chen army, and it should have been commanded by Xiao Maha, but I didn't expect it to be assigned to him."
Wang joins the army, do you know what the most terrible army is? It is such a quiet army, in the face of Mount Tai collapsing in front of you and not changing its color, but the fighting spirit is high, it seems that we are going to encounter a hard battle. ”
When He Ruobi said this, he suddenly turned around and shouted at the herald behind him: "Pass my general order, hurry up and urge the troops in the big camp behind to come here quickly, 10,000 iron horsemen will go first, and they must arrive at the battlefield within one hour!"
The herald said hesitantly: "General, the camp is more than forty miles away from here, and it takes more than half an hour to ride a horse, so I'm afraid that this order will not be passed on in time." ”
He Ruobi hurriedly said: "Let go of wolf smoke and send a message in this way, Yang Ya and Su Xiaoci will understand after they read it." Hurry!"
The herald took the order and left, while Wang Huaqiang continued to look at Lu Guangda's army in the distance, thoughtful.
He Ruobi sat back on the Hu bed and said in a deep voice: "Wang joins the army, do you think that the general is a little afraid of Lu Guangda?" ”
Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "No, after all, the Chen Dynasty is a big country, and there are always tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and there will really be no good generals, or they will be destroyed long ago." The general should be expected to be wide. ”
He Ruobi laughed: "Yes, Wang joined the army, although Lu Guangda's subordinates are elite soldiers, but what I brought across the river is a wine bag and rice bag?" You also saw the front army dealing with Tian Rui's department just now, how could I be afraid of Lu Guangda if I really fight, now it's just because my front army has insufficient cavalry, as long as my iron cavalry arrives, the overall situation will be decided. ”
Wang Huaqiang glanced at the other party's quiet military formation, and said: "But the last general thinks that this military formation is not as calm as it seems, although those Nan Chen's sergeants are quiet, but there is a murderous aura of eager to make meritorious contributions, you look at their eyes, they can't wait to devour the enemy alive, once Lu Guangda orders an attack, it will definitely be a volcanic eruption." ”
He Ruobi nodded: "Yes, so the enemy army is not really immovable, they are not the best kind of army, or will lose their minds on the battlefield because of competitiveness and competition for loot, and they can't do the order and prohibition, such an enemy army can only fight with the wind, light and resolute, but it will also be turned over by experienced opponents who seize the opportunity to counterattack." ”
Wang Huaqiang smiled: "General He, will your troops give them a chance to fight a good battle?" ”
He Ruobi put away his smile and muttered: "It's hard to say, now that they see the defeat of the front army, they have become competitive, plus there are many people, if the whole army is pressed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for General Yuan to resist." ”
Wang Huaqiang said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the elite of the generals can't stop them?" He was impressed by the combat effectiveness of the Yuanming Department just now, and he still didn't believe that Lu Guangda's department could really be stronger than Yuanming.
He Ruobi shook his head: "Yuan Ming is a fierce general, and he has won a lot of victories just now, but I am afraid that he will be arrogant and arrogant, and he will be at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers, so I am afraid that he will suffer." ”
When He Ruobi said this, he hurriedly said to the junior colonel beside him: "Quick, quickly send an order to General Yuan, telling him to firmly hold the line, even if the enemy army is defeated and retreated, he is not allowed to pursue." ”
Wang Huaqiang looked at the distant figure of the junior colonel and sighed: "General He is really powerful, even if he is a famous general in the past, he may not be able to compare to you." There shouldn't be anything to worry about now, if General Yuan only defends and doesn't fight, I'm afraid it's not a big problem to hold on until reinforcements come. ”
He Ruobi also sighed: "I'm afraid that it may not be, the staff is arrogant and arrogant, and who doesn't want to make contributions to the generals?" I now force him not to pursue, for fear that he will not care so much if he is happy. And anyway, after all, I opened the head of disobeying the general's order, and it is difficult to convince them if I use the general's order to press my subordinates. Wang joins the army, maybe we need to think about how to turn defeat into victory. ”
At the same time, Lu Guangda's department on the opposite side had already sent 5,000 spearmen to set up a wide line, firmly blocking the way of Tian Rui's army, and Lu Guangda sent his personal soldiers to find Tian Rui, who had lost his armor and abandoned his armor, from the crowd, tied up five flowers, and tied him to the front of the army.
Just now, Tian Rui's more than seven or eight thousand troops ran out of breath one by one, out of breath, and when he looked up, he found that the soldiers behind his side were blocking him with a gun array, and they were all so frightened that they stood still and didn't dare to move.
Lu Guangda looked at the dejected Tian Rui and said coldly: "Tian Rui, are you guilty?" ”
Tian Rui ran wildly just now, and the hairband on his head didn't know where it flew, and at this moment, his hair was scattered, his helmet and face were dirty, and he didn't have the majesty of the commander of the army, he cried and mourned, and said: "General Lu, the northern army is too strong, I have tried my best." ”
Lu Guangda's eyes flashed with murder: "Did you do your best? You're intact, you're running backwards five hundred paces from the enemy, you're doing your best? ”
Tian Rui raised his head and saw Lu Guangda's murderous face, and he trembled with fright: "General Lu, you have also seen that the chariots and axe men of my front army are all killed, and the spearmen and shield bearers in the backbone have all collapsed on their own. General Lu, you also lost the Northern Expedition back then, didn't you run away at that time? ”
Lu Guangda laughed and said angrily: "I, Lu Guangda, have lost battles, but it was the generalissimo who gave the order for the whole army to retreat, even so, I, Lu Guangda, fought to the end." ”
When Lu Guangda said this, he plunged the big knife into the ground, untied his breastplate, took off his shirt, and revealed his scarred upper body, Tian Rui and the soldiers in the front row could see it clearly, Lu Guangda had dozens of scars on his front, but there was not a single one on his back.
Lu Guangda's angry voice echoed in the air: "You have all seen it, I, Lu Guangda, will never be an escaping general, even if I withdraw, I will fight face to face, what about you Tian Rui?" If you don't clean up the rout, you will run away first, and if you don't kill you today, God will not tolerate it!"
Tian Rui was so frightened that the three souls went out of his body, struggled as hard as he could, and shouted: "Lu Guangda, even if I lose the battle, it is the emperor's business to kill me, you have no right to kill the general in front of the battle!"
Lu Guangda laughed three times, and suddenly a divine light burst out in his eyes, and he picked up the big knife and sent it into a box
