Chapter 442: A Famous General for a Time

The two armies lined up to greet each other, but there was no movement for a long time! In front of the two armies, there was only the sound of the wind blowing from time to time, and the whirring of the fluttering banners of hunting.

Chen Kefu sat on the purple lù, holding a telescope in his hand, and he could clearly see Xue Shixiong's thin face, as well as his thin body that seemed to be able to fall off as soon as the wind blew. He was a little strange, why the Xue family had five uncles and nephews, all of whom were as long as heavyweight boxers, why was Xue Shixiong, the head of the Xue family, so thin. With a body like him, how did he not die in the hands of the frontier foreigners as a small officer in the land of Northern Xinjiang back then, but also became the world-famous Eight Tiger Generals of Northern Xinjiang step by step?

By this time, though, he had already understood. He rushed to Xue Shixiong's camp of 150,000 men with 50,000 men. If he had been replaced by an ordinary general, at this time, he would have been unable to resist attacking him a long time ago. But Xue Shixiong didn't do this at all, but lined up to meet the enemy, but he remained silent.

This is an ability for the handsome, calm, calm, and not easy to attack for a momentary yòuhuò.

In fact, since Chen Kefu dared to run to the front of 150,000 people with 50,000 people, he also had his hole cards. If Xue Shixiong really attacked him, he wouldn't worry too much. The 50,000 Liaodong Army is not a vegetarian, not to mention that there are a large number of engineering troops in his array, carrying and manipulating a large number of equipment. Such a field battle will also play a huge role.

The most important thing is that Chen Kefu has already transferred Lu Shishen and Mao Yi's 100,000 troops over early in the morning.

He had gone out of the city early in the morning, but in the short distance of twenty miles, he had been moving slowly.

In doing so, one is waiting for the arrival of two armies, which are not far from here, two or three hours away. Just in case, Chen Kefu has been dragging his feet.

But he went out of the city early in order to let Xue Shixiong's soldiers and horses also go into battle, consuming their physical strength and patience. Another purpose of his slow march was to watch Xue Shixiong's reaction, if Xue Shixiong rushed to meet the enemy as soon as he saw him out of the city, Chen Kefu would definitely retreat into the city.

It was precisely because Xue Shixiong had not moved that Chen Kefu finally came to the Sui army camp.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, he had already received a report from Tanmalay, and Lu Shishen and Mao Yi had already arrived. Now the two armies are rich in thousands of horses, one on the left and the other on the right, hidden in a secret place ten miles away from the Sui army.

If Xue Shixiong dared to attack the Liaodong Army, Chen Kefu would welcome it very much. 50,000 horses is not so easy to eat, and as long as the Hebei army attacks the Liaodong army, it will attack 50,000 with 150,000 Chen Kefu believes that the Sui army will definitely be a little careless. And even if they are not careless, Chen Kefu has a way to make the formation of the Hebei Army flawed. At that time, as long as the 100,000 troops ambushed on both flanks at the critical moment are killed, the Hebei army will be surrounded by the Liaodong Army.

Although this will make the Liaodong Army defeat the Hebei Army, the battle of 300,000 people will definitely be quite tragic. Moreover, the Hebei soldiers have always been strong, and Xue Shixiong is a famous general, and in the end, even if he wins, he is estimated to be responsible for huge sacrifices. Therefore, Chen Kefu is not very willing to have such a situation in his heart, everything only depends on Xue Shixiong's choice.

"Didn't the king of the county want to announce His Majesty's edict to the soldiers of Hebei? Why not start yet? Xue Wanche looked at what Chen Kefu had been watching and waiting for, and he was also worried in his heart. As soon as they reported to the Malay army that Liaodong generals Lu Shishen and Mao Yi each led 50,000 troops to the left and right flanks of the Hebei Army to ambush, they already knew Chen Kefu's intentions.

Li Jing on the side also said loudly, "Commander, kill 3,000 enemies, and lose 800 yourself." The soldiers are ruthless, and if they can, they will not fight. It is the best policy to surrender the army without a fight. ”

Chen Kefu sighed in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was relaxed or disappointed.

Nodding, Chen Kefu said, "Pass on the commander's order, and order Mao Yi and Lu Shishen to lead the army to come." "Since it can't be done, Chen Kefu plans to write. Li Jing is right, if you can surrender the army without a fight, it is the best policy.

Two heralds rode their horses to the left and right, bringing up a puff of smoke and dust. Xue Shixiong in the Hebei military formation also faintly understood.

After waiting for another half an hour or so, I saw smoke and dust rising from the north and south sides at the same time, and the sound of hooves rumbled.

I saw that in the smoke and dust in the sky, countless flags loomed, and there were countless figures. Not long after, several Liaodong cavalry with black armor had already appeared, carrying the wind and thunder, and the cavalry on both sides who arrived first rushed until they were only two or three miles away from the Hebei army before they could stop. And behind them, there were more soldiers and horses coming. …,

In the Hebei military formation, many soldiers have already exclaimed. Some people are even sighing, if they had attacked the 50,000 rebels out of the city at the beginning, maybe by the time these rebels arrived, they would have already annihilated the rebels from Luhe City. Maybe even Chen Kefu, the leader of the rebels, is already his prisoner.

Only Xue Shixiong has been silent, fighting for many years, and now he can't figure out the situation in front of him. Seeing that the two teams arrived almost at the same time, he could guess,

This must be the rebel army of the Liaoxi battalion, the vanguard of Linhaidun and Liucheng. And he understood that these two groups of men and horses must have been here for a long time, but they have been hiding aside, probably just waiting for them to attack the Luhe rebels, and take the opportunity to kill from their own flanks and counterattack the Hebei army.

As the commander of the first army, Xue Shixiong certainly understood that during the war, it was impossible for the army to maintain a complete formation all the time. When fighting, there will be countless flaws, and if the main army of the rebels appears at that time, then this is a fatal blow. When he thought that Chen Kefu was so ruthless, not only with an army of 50,000, but also daring to be in the army in person, he couldn't help but be moved by this courage and fierceness. is ruthless to others, many people can do it, even if it is a ranger,

Scoundrels are very good at it. But he is also ruthless to himself, but few people do it.

Teams of men and horses arrived, and it didn't take long for all the 150,000 men and horses of the Liaodong Army to arrive.

To the south is Lu Shishen's 50,000 army, to the north is Mao Yi's 50,000 army, and to the east is Chen Kefu's 50,000 army.

300,000 troops, that's a huge number. On the plains of western Liaoning, there is an endless sea of flags and a long forest of spears.

Seeing that the army had arrived, Chen Kefu turned his head and said to the five uncles and nephews of the Xue family behind him, "Ben Shuai has long admired Xue Dashuai's demeanor, and now he is destined to meet him, which is really a blessing for three lives." Ladies and gentlemen, General Xue, I still need you to accompany me to make an introduction to this commander. ”

Xue Dingguo looked at Chen Kefu's appearance, he no longer planned to merge, and he was relieved in his heart. Hurriedly responded: "My eldest brother often praises Chen Dashuai's bravery and extraordinary to me, and often laments regret that we can't meet and talk freely. Now that he has this opportunity, he must be very happy. The military formation broke through a passage, Chen Kefu took the lead, Li Jing, Guo Xiaoke, Luo Lin, Wei Chi brothers, Shubao, Biting Jin, Shixin and other generals followed behind. The five uncles and nephews of the Xue family also accompanied Chen Kefu and rode out together. Come to the front of the two armies!

Xue Shixiong over there saw Chen Kefu and others coming out of the battle, and he also led his generals and colonels to shoot their horses out of the battle, and the generals were in the formation of the two armies.

Xue Shixiong watched his son and cousin behave intimately and naturally with the rebel generals, as if they had become a family, and his expression was gloomy. He stepped forward and said to his four sons and cousins, "Wan Shu, Wan Shu, Wan Jun, Wan Che, Dingguo, do you still have the face to come to see me?" The general from my Xue family, although he is not the bravest general in the battle array, he also understands what the word loyalty is.

It is not your fault that the five of you were defeated and captured, but it is the most undeserved to commit yourself to a thief. If you still regard yourself as a member of the Xue family, I, as the head of the Xue family, will give you another chance.

Draw out your swords, either pat the horse and I'll wait for a life and death showdown, or you kill yourself, and I can reserve a tablet for you in the ancestral hall at that time. ”

The uncles and nephews of the Xue family all had great changes in their faces, and even Chen Kefu didn't expect that this thin Xue Shixiong would be so strict. After his brother and son were captured, he would make them commit suicide and refuse to make them surrender.

Although Xue Dingguo was the most lawless in the past, he was actually the most afraid of this brother. At this time, the anxious face was swollen red, and he said loudly, "Big brother, you misunderstood Lou, we didn't surrender to the thief." Xue Shixiong said coldly, "You fell into the hands of the rebels, but now the rebels not only did not kill you, but let you follow the army." The armor is still shiny, and you dare to say that you did not surrender? Now that you have come to the front, do you still want to persuade Ben Shuai to surrender to the rebels like you? ”

Suddenly, Chen Kefu had a lot of good feelings for this somewhat old-fashioned and stern thin old man.

He took a few steps forward and said loudly, "Xue Dashuai, you and I are the commanders of the same army, you should know that before you understand the situation in detail, you should make judgments in vain, and it is not the work of a wise man." Now Xue Shuai didn't know about the matter in front of him, but he was so reckless, he was afraid that it would damage Xue Shuai's prestige, right? Xue Shixiong glanced at Chen Kefu coldly, and said indifferently, "Chen Pojun, you can unknowingly transfer 100,000 soldiers and horses from Ben Shuai and hide them on the side." Ben Shuai also admires it deeply, but if you want Ben Shuai to surrender, don't waste your saliva. Although your soldiers and horses will surround Lou, this commander has been on the battlefield for many years, and his command is a soldier in a hundred battles. My Hebei strong army is only 5,000 fewer than your rebels, and if you really want to fight, do you really think that this commander will be afraid of you? Chen Pojun, I respect you as a famous general, you and I don't need to say much today, everyone has their own abilities, and they will have a decisive battle. If I win, you will surrender to the court and to Your Majesty. If I fail, it's because I'm not good at it. ”!。
