Chapter 459 [3]

In the midst of the retreat, suddenly a military chariot rushed in. [No pop-up novel network]

King Chu Hui took a closer look, it turned out to be Zuo Yin Ziguo, Ziguo He is a cousin, not the kind of seniority, but a cousin. In addition, when Ziguo's father elected himself as the king during his son, King Chu Hui also loved Ziguo and trusted Ziguo. Seeing that Ziguo left his army to see him, he didn't scold him first, but asked kindly: "Why did Zuo Yin suddenly come to see the widow?" Is something happening? ”

"Yes, the situation of the king is a little bad, the minister just found out that a large number of Han troops are coming," Zuo Yin Ziguo said in horror to King Chu Hui.

"How many are there?" When King Chu Hui heard this, his heart was also tightened, and he asked in a panic.

Ziguo said: "Not to mention that there are 30,000 cavalry that are covered with smoke and dust."

"Impossible" Xu Cheng, who was guarding King Chu Hui on the side, retorted categorically, because he was familiar with the situation of the Han Kingdom, although he lost the battle, he was still reused. This is also a matter of no choice, the rise of the Han Kingdom is too fast, and there are no more people who are familiar with his situation, otherwise Xu Cheng would have been dragged to behead long ago with the situation that Xu Cheng has no background.

When King Chu Hui heard this, he immediately turned his head and asked, "What is General Xu's opinion?" ”

Xu Cheng explained: "According to the minister's knowledge, cavalry training is not easy, and it normally takes a year. Even if Yang Zilu had a million war horses, he could only raise 10,000 cavalry. And not all of these cavalry were brought over, in addition, according to intelligence, the Han army was only seven or eight thousand cavalry at most this time. How did so many cavalry pop up all at once? ”

Ziguo retorted: "How can it be that this is what I saw with my own eyes, and there are not more than fifty soldiers with me, they all saw it with their own eyes. The smoke and dust were overwhelming, and behind the smoke and dust, you could vaguely see the banner waving, as well as the Han army behind the dust. I will never be mistaken, if the king does not believe it, he can summon those soldiers to ask"

Hearing Ziguo's affirmation, King Chu Hui couldn't help but hesitate.

Xu Cheng suddenly remembered something, and said anxiously: "King, no matter what, how many people have come from the Han army, the most important thing for us to do now is not to discuss how many troops the Han army has come. Instead, he quickly returned to Zaiying, otherwise it would be too late for the Han cavalry to be on the plain, and it was very powerful, and one enemy and five would not fall behind. If you are defeated, you can rely on the war horse to get rid of the pursuers and re-form a battle formation, which is difficult to defeat."

When King Chu Hui heard this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, "It's so powerful?" Isn't the Han army invincible? ”

Xu Cheng comforted: "It's not that there is no way to defeat, but in any case, please order the king to speed up and return to Zaiying, and when you arrive at Zaiying, the minister will tell the king about this again."

King Chu Hui also knew that what Xu Cheng said was reasonable, and immediately ordered to speed up the march. It's just a pity that when it comes to the speed of marching, how can the infantry be faster than the cavalry?

Just when the army of Chu thought that it could break away, but it was only five miles away from Zaiying, the Han army came at this time. The smoke and dust were overwhelming, Xu Cheng saw this, and said in a lost voice: "It's impossible why the Han army suddenly has so many cavalry."

At this time, Ziguo did not take the opportunity to scold Xu Cheng in front of King Chu Hui triumphantly, to show that he was not lying just now, but said with a stern face: "It's too late, the king, you retreat quickly, and the minister will lead the soldiers of his headquarters to resist the Han army."

"How can this be so, isn't it abandoning Zuo Yin and the 10,000 Chu troops under Zuo Yin's command, ignoring the fact that the widow is the king of Chu, not just a Chu person who will be afraid," King Chu Hui said excitedly.

Xu Cheng's opinion at the moment was the same as Ziguo's, and he also persuaded on the side: "King, now is not the time to talk about this. When a gecko encounters danger, it will also leave its tail behind, and come out of danger to save itself to the maximum. Cicadas will also shed their shells and come to escape their predators. Now that the king and the Han army are in a tough confrontation, they will only bury the last soldiers of the Chu State here, how can General Zai Ying hold on? Does the king still want the difficulties of Yan Ying in the past to appear in Zaiying? The gecko's tail is not a cowardly act, but a wise choice, and the minister asks the king to understand Zuo Yin's decision."

(Yan Ying's difficulty: refers to the tragedy of the capital being broken by Wu State, Yan Ying, who was the capital at that time, was breached, because of the previous stubborn resistance, was ordered to slaughter the city by King Wu Lu, making Yan Ying's blood flow like a river.) ）

King Chu Hui also shook his determination when he heard Xu Cheng's persuasion, sighed, and said with true feelings: "Now it seems that the only way to do this is to let Zuo Yin take your risk." Zuo Yin, take care, the widow has lost your father (child), and the widow doesn't want to lose you anymore."

When Ziguo heard this, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said: "The minister knows, but the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and the minister is afraid that he will no longer be able to assist the king The minister heard that the son of Shilling Yin (Zixi), Zining has a great talent, and the minister hopes that if the minister dies in battle, the king will let Zining come to replace the minister."

"How could Zuo Yin say such unlucky words" King Chu Hui heard this, and his heart was full of sorrow.

Ziguo didn't say anything more, because Yang Zilu's cavalry was almost here, and time didn't allow Ziguo to tremble. Ziguo could only hurriedly hug his fist towards King Chu Hui and said, "King, take care"

Ziguo said that, he let the driver drive the military chariot away, and there were many military chariots under Ziguo's command, which were full of 200 times. The main reason is that the sub-kingdom let the military chariots obey him along the way, because he knows that the military chariots will lose their effect when they reach the city. Rather than this, then outside the city, fight with the Han army.

I have to say that Ziguo really hit Yang Zilu's death hole. Of course, this dead end only made Yang Zilu have to let go of King Chu Hui, and the frontal combat effectiveness of the military vehicle is stronger than that of armored cavalry. The cavalry only relied on the agility of the cavalry and the bow and arrow to defeat the chariot. This takes a lot of time, and Yang Zilu has to retreat.

Let the light cavalry harass the troop vehicles with bows and arrows, and the sub-country is not afraid, and the first soldier fights hard. However, while fighting, Ziguo felt that something was wrong, why was the Han army's offensive strength so weak? Of course, the current offensive strength of the Han army is not weak, but Ziguo thinks that the Han army should have at least 30,000 people, but now the Chu army has actually supported it for so long.

Rong Zuo on the military vehicle exclaimed, pointed to the tail of a Han cavalry horse and said, "My lord, look there."

Ziguo looked in the direction Rong Zuo pointed, and immediately his qi and blood surged, almost wanting to spit out a mouthful of blood. I saw that the war horse guard had a few twigs tied to it, and dragged it to the ground like a broom. When you run, there is smoke and dust all over the place, and if you don't get close, you really can't look carefully. I was deceived

It was also said that Yang Zilu couldn't imagine that he would encounter such a good thing, when Yang Zilu saw that the Chu army actually had an army of 50,000. immediately hesitated, the Han army's iron cavalry was powerful, but it didn't mean that in the case of a frontal battle, one could be used as ten, especially when the Chu army found out that it was bluffing, and the morale of the Chu army was still greatly shocked.

Just when Yang Zilu hesitated, Ziguo came up to break off, Yang Zilu couldn't beat the 50,000 Chu army, but it didn't mean that even the 10,000 people of Ziguo couldn't fight.

It's just a pity that Ziguo found out a little late at this time. As soon as the remaining 40,000 Chu troops had already entered Zaiying City, they sent people into the city again to ask for a meeting, and let King Chu Hui send troops, and the time wasted was probably not less than half an hour. After half an hour, I don't know if my 10,000 people will be killed cleanly, and King Chu Hui will have to do this more at that time.

Ziguo was also decisive enough, and immediately ordered a retreat, although he could not defeat the Han cavalry. However, the Chu army had an advantage in terms of troops, and it was still certain that it would escape. Ziguo did not dare to ask the whole army to retreat, but even if it retreated to two or three percent of the troops, it would make the defense of Zaiying a little more certain. But people are unlucky, and they drink cold water and stuff their teeth.

Ziguo's idea was good, he had just ordered a retreat, but he ran into Mang Gao, although Mang Gao didn't know Ziguo. But he also knew the clothing of the generals of the Chu army, and when he saw Ziguo, he knew that he was a big man, so he was overjoyed, picked up the waist crossbow hanging on the saddle, aimed at Ziguo, pulled the trigger, and shot an arrow over.

Ziguo was defenseless at the time, and was shot in the waist, and his body fell to the side in severe pain. Everyone on the troop vehicle didn't pay attention at this time, and when they reacted, it was too late to pull Ziguo. As a result, Ziguo flipped from the military vehicle to the ground, and the follow-up military vehicle galloped by, and when he saw that it was Ziguo, it was too late to pull the reins of the horse. The war horses that didn't stop their footsteps turned over Ziguo with their hooves, and a generation of Chu State Zuo Yin Ziguo was trampled to death by his own soldiers and horses.

The Chu army had already shown defeat, and now that Ziguo had died in the chaos, there was no one to direct this retreat, and the originally good retreat immediately turned into a rout. The rout was naturally aimless, and some of the Chu soldiers actually fled to the north in a panic, and they didn't want to know where the Han army came from. It saved a lot of effort for the Han army to chase and kill the enemy.

Although Yang Zilu didn't know why the Chu army suddenly became in chaos, Yang Zilu was sure that this was definitely not a conspiracy of the Chu army. Immediately led the cavalry of the Han army to chase and kill, killing 10,000 Chu soldiers to the ground, and the last 10,000 Chu army only escaped less than 600 people. The rest of the Chu soldiers either surrendered to the Han army, were beheaded by the Han soldiers, or scattered in the wilderness.

When King Chu Hui learned the news of Ziguo's death in battle, he was overwhelmed with grief, but under the persuasion of several old ministers, he still had to cheer up. King Chu Hui also promoted Zi Ning to Zuo Yin in accordance with Ziguo's previous wishes and took over Ziguo's position.

However, even if King Chu Hui regained his strength, at this time, King Chu Hui also lost his courage. In the final analysis, he still inherited a lot of King Chu Zhao's character, just like King Chu Zhao's nature of bullying the soft and fearing the hard.
