Chapter 131: Victory in the First Battle

Pan Chong once skillfully understood Dou Yuejiao's attitude. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Dou Yue Jiao has the abacus of Dou Yue Jiao. Because Cheng Jia wanted Dou Yuejiao to strictly guard against Zhong Wuregret before his death, Dou Yuejiao pretended to be deaf and dumb about Pan Chong's possible attack on Zhong Wuregret, and it was best to eliminate Zhong Wuregret, if he couldn't eliminate it, Pan Chong would definitely be finished. There are two remaining lewd and pleasure-oriented monarchs and ministers, and it is not too late for Dou Yuejiao to wait until he has a firm foothold to clean them up.

Looking at the situation in Chu State, all political enemies with great threats have basically been eliminated, in Pan Chong and Zhong Wuregret, only the surviving family remains, Dou Yuejiao has military and political power, and it will be easy to destroy another family, but, in fact, in Dou Yuejiao's heart, it is Zhong Wuregret who hopes to survive, because Pan Chong's treacherous and cunning is too difficult to deal with.

Deng Shi dared to kill Zhong Wuregret on the official road, which was the strategy set by Pan Chong after obtaining Dou Yuejiao's acquiescence, and they now needed to kill Zhong Wuregret with one blow, such as in a secluded place, the forest was deep and the grass was lush, and it was uncertain that it created an environment for Zhong Wuregret to escape.

Moreover, whether it was on the official road or in a secluded place, it was impossible for them to fight a protracted battle, so Deng Shi chose the location of the decisive battle on the official road.

On the way back, Zhong Wuregret maintained a high degree of vigilance, and he took turns sending scouts to reconnoitre, especially in remote areas. But to his surprise, there was no enemy along the way, and the place where he thought he was most likely to be attacked was surprisingly calm.

Zhong Wuregret had no choice but to send more people to reconnoitre, he didn't believe that after he took out one of Pan Chong's lair, Pan Chong would behave so rationally. Besides, this time back in the royal city, Zhong Wuregret is also ready to eradicate Pan Chong, he has already mastered a large number of criminal evidence of Pan Chong and his party, unscrupulous in the court, corrupt and perverted the law, and preyed on the common people.

The most important thing is that he now has an elite army at his disposal. When Zhong Wuregret took advantage of the rebellion of Gongzi Xie and Ziyi, in the capital ruled by the young Fu Jia Song, Xiangui was in charge and secretly trained a slave army of several thousand people.

Because he was afraid that Pan Chonggou would jump off the wall in a hurry and bring disaster to the palace, Zhong Wuregret did not dare to expose his strength at any time.

The weather also began to get hot, on the way, Zhong Wuregret remembered that there was a tea pavilion not far from this place, it was already afternoon, people were sleepy and tired, Zhong Wuregret wanted to rest there first, and wait until it was dark to find a place to camp, when he was marching, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, a knight covered in blood on the back of the horse rushed over, after seeing Zhong Wuregret, he only said: "There is an enemy to attack." Then he fell off his horse and died.

Zhong Wuregret knew that there was a problem with his judgment this time, and a little negligence caused an extremely unfavorable passivity. He immediately ordered the party to go back and camp on a small hillside he had just seen passing by.

Zhong Wuxian took advantage of the terrain to quickly build fortifications, knowing that he would face a fierce battle.

According to Deng Shi's strategy, only by launching a surprise attack on Zhong Wuregret can he be more sure of annihilating Zhong Wuregret and his team. Therefore, Deng Shi specially selected the elite soldiers in the Jin State team, every group of ten people, who were specifically responsible for sneaking up on the reconnaissance team sent by Zhong Wuregret, as long as he found someone with suspicious appearance, he was not allowed to let anyone go.

Although many innocent people were killed, the scouts sent by Zhong Wuregret were almost lost.

If it weren't for one of the scouts who desperately escaped, Zhong Wuregret and his team would probably be surrounded in no time.

Because there was no natural danger to take advantage of near the official road, Zhong Wuregret used a horse-drawn carriage to enclose a circular formation on the nearby hillside, and after unloading the horses, the earthen bags loaded on the carriage came in handy.

In the upcoming bloody battle, Zhong Wuregret was most worried about being able to fight, but after the ordeal of the Double Absolute Valley, she said that she didn't want to leave Zhong Wuregret, Zhong Wuregret had no choice but to keep her by his side and give her a crossbow to defend herself.

Zhong Wuxian left Yang Yuji on the periphery, and he was joined by twenty archers on horseback.

When the enemy attacked the main position, Zhong Wuregret ordered Yoyuki to shoot the attacking enemy from a long distance, and not to engage the enemy in close combat, and if the enemy pursued Yoyuki and them, they did not have to fight, and they fled while shooting arrows at the enemy in the rear.

The advantages of this tactic are: first, attacking the enemy from a long distance, second, constantly attacking the enemy, and third, not giving the enemy a chance to fight back.

Yoyuki and the archers really couldn't accept Zhong Wuregret's tactics of asking them to run away and kill the enemy at first, and they thought that running away on the battlefield was the greatest shame for the warriors.

It wasn't until Zhong Wuregret forced them to do so, and asked them to swear that they must do it well, that they reluctantly accepted it.

Zhong Wuregret looked at the sky, there was still an hour or two before it got dark, and he had to wait until it was dark before he could send off fireworks and summon a slave army that had arrived earlier. He had already agreed with them that as soon as he saw the fireworks, he would come to help, because the enemy was too strong to fight.

At the same time, this is also to confuse the enemy, and only by using guerrilla warfare to harass the enemy and make it difficult to distinguish between the enemy's fiction and reality, can the enemy be entangled and prevent them from escaping back to the royal city. Night battle is the basic subject of Zhong Wuregret's training team, and disturbing the enemy at night is their forte.

Zhong Wuregret must hold out until the arrival of Xiangui's main force before trying to completely annihilate Pan Chong's army. However, the premise is that Zhong Wuregret's more than 100 of them must survive the attack of more than 5,000 people.

Not long after Zhong Wuregret finished his deployment, the team led by Deng Shi arrived.

Before coming to Zhong Wuregret's camp, Deng Shi did not rush to attack, but surrounded Zhong Wuregret and them with soldiers, until he thought that Zhong Wuregret had no way to escape, and then gave the order to attack. In his opinion, a team of more than 5,000 people, dealing with Zhong Wuregret's more than 100 people, is already a knife to kill chickens, and it is a sure way to win.

The forbidden army was strong in defense, and Deng Shi kept them as a defense to prevent Zhong Wuregret from escaping, while the elite soldiers of the Jin State swam around in a team of 100 people to intercept and kill the escaped stragglers. 1,000 soldiers were left for the final attack, if the 3,000 soldiers of Pan Chongcaiyi could annihilate Zhong Wuregret, this group of soldiers would not have to go into battle, and it would be of great use to keep them back to the royal city.

Deng Shi still had a certain way of employing troops, and the large-scale operations at that time were a combination of vehicles and infantry with chariots as the main force, requiring the warring parties to choose the plains and wilderness as the battlefield. However, this time Zhong Wuregret killed him, and it was impossible to agree on a place for the battle with Zhong Wuregret and then fight a decisive battle.

"Dangerous and wild, people are the mainstay. Yi Ye, car-based. Deng Shi knew that it was useless for the chariot to come out this time, so he used all the foot soldiers. He organized Pan Chongcaiyi's sword and gee into phalanxes, and the geists all held short ge. The phalanx of archers was behind the Daoge phalanx, killing the enemy from a distance when the two armies were not connected.

Seeing that the team had been lined up, Deng Shi raised his flag and prepared to order an attack, although he had no regrets about robbing and killing Zhong Wuregret and got the tacit approval of Dou Yuejiao, but they could only pretend to be thieves, and it was impossible for them to fight with the enemy country with great fanfare, and the golden drums sounded in unison, so he chose to use the flag as the order.

At this time, before the team moved, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Yang Youji appeared in the rear of the phalanx with twenty archers, they did not rush directly to the phalanx, but did a parallel movement with the phalanx, just in the back and forth of their movement, Deng Shi's archers phalanx had killed and wounded hundreds of people, especially Yang Yuji's magic arrow, as soon as the string sounded, someone would die.

The attacking formation could not be chaotic, and Deng Shi immediately ordered the elite soldiers of the Jin State to immediately go forward to hunt down these archers. However, they didn't expect that as soon as the elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom moved, they raised the horses of the generals and led twenty archers to run back, running while shooting back.

As soon as the pursuers of the Jin Kingdom stopped, Yoyuki also stopped, and then shot them one by one with bows and arrows. In this way, as soon as the pursuers of the Jin Kingdom chased after them, Yang Yuji and they fled, and as soon as the pursuers of the Jin Kingdom retreated, Yang Youji chased and shot them behind with archers. No matter how powerful an elite soldier is, he only has two legs, how can he fight the four legs of a horse.

In this way, it didn't take long for a team of elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom to die cleanly, and Yang Yuji returned to the scene of the attack.

In the Spring and Autumn period, there was no cavalry on the battlefield, let alone mounted archery. Deng Shi and all the others had never seen this kind of fighting, and his side had suffered heavy casualties, but the opponent had not touched a single hair. Not to mention Deng Shi, it was Yang Youji and those archers, at this time, they also admired Zhong Wuregret so much that they threw themselves to the ground, they went out with a round of arrows, and at least ten people on the other side fell to the ground, but there was nothing to do about it.

Deng Shi gritted his teeth and ordered the elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom to pursue Yang Youji in several ways, he knew that by doing so, he would send these elite soldiers to a dead end, and the difference was only a matter of time. However, Deng Shi wanted to use the sacrifices of these elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom to buy him time to attack.

Under the attack of Yoyuki and those cavalry archers, the morale of Deng's soldiers was greatly damaged, and many people appeared to be panicked under this method of warfare, and Dengshi had to put his soldiers into battle in a short time. On the battlefield, fear can quickly infect everyone like a plague.

The flag was raised, and the phalanx of Deng Shi's foot soldiers began to move up the hillside, and suddenly, one by one, the human figures stood up on Zhong Wuregret's circular earthen bag.

"Shoot!" With an order, the archer hurriedly drew his bow and shot a rain of arrows.

"Stop!" The leader hurriedly ordered the archery to stop, and it turned out that standing up on the dirt bags were straw men tied to wooden sticks.

The team was slowly approaching Zhong Wuregret's camp, but the camp was very quiet, and the tranquility made people feel a sense of trepidation.

"Shoot!" Seeing the sudden rise of human figures on the ring-shaped earthen bag, the leader was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered, and the archers poured out a rain of arrows.

"Stop!" It turned out that the straw men who stood up on the dirt bags were still tied to wooden sticks.

It was getting closer and closer to Zhong Wuregret's camp, and the camp seemed to be empty, and there was no movement.

"Shoot!" Suddenly, people suddenly stood up on the earthen bag, but this time it was a real person, and the order to "shoot" was also issued by Zhong Wuregret's camp, and a rain of arrows fell, and the infantry phalanx suffered countless casualties.

"Kill!" A shout of killing rang out from the camp, and when a "boom" sound was heard, round pieces of wood had already descended on the heads of the soldiers who were attacking Dengshi.

The soldiers were smashed to the point that their heads were bleeding, and they lay on the ground with missing arms and legs.

"Oh my god!" The rest of the soldiers shouted, and they immediately fled down the hill, followed by a rain of arrows.

The first attack, and thus ended in a fiasco. (To be continued.) )
