Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Battle of Chencang (3)
Under the city of Chencang, the two generals of the Qin State under the command of Liu Bang, the Marquis of Wu'an, Qi Gill and Wang Ling, were entertaining the leaders from the Qiang tribe in the tent.
This military campaign against Li Yuan was of great importance to Qi Gill and Wang Ling. They were not qualified in Liu Bangjun, and they also knew that they would not be able to get any benefit from following Liu Bang to Xianyang, so they set their sights on Li Yuan, who had coerced a lot of wealth from Xianyang.
Rob the rich and help the poor.
In the eyes of Qi Gill and Wang Ling, Li Yuan is a nouveau riche with bulging pockets.
Besides, the bodyguards around this nouveau riche are not strong now, and they can just rob them.
The Qiang people are straight, still martial, come to the camp of Qi Gill is the Jiang tribe, the Ji tribe of the two warriors, within the Qiang people, there are still differences about the rebellion, this time the envoy, the purpose of the Qiang people is also very real, I hope that Qi Gill will send troops as soon as possible to break the main force of Li Yuan's army and help them break the siege.
The army commanded by Jiang Yu and Luo Jia fought in the territory of the Qiang people, so naturally they would not be polite, and in the face of heavy losses, the Qiang people began to regret their rash decision.
"Qi Hou, my Jiang tribe has been fighting fiercely with Li Thief in Jiang Shui for ten days, and the tribal warriors have suffered heavy casualties, I don't know when Qi Hou's team will be able to break through Chen Cang and expel Li Thief!" The man who spoke was a brute with a big waist and a round waist, his eyes were like copper bells, his voice was like a bell, and he looked like a fierce god.
Jiang Cong, a famous warrior of the Jiang Qiang tribe, happened to be sent out in the Qi Gill Army, and fought in Japan, with Jiang Cong in the battle, Qi Gill did not worry about being invincible.
"Jiang Zhuangshi, don't worry, our army is now stationed under the city, and the previous encounter with the Li thief, the two sides are not divided between victory and defeat, and tomorrow, I will ask the enemy to scold the formation, and take the head of the Li thief." Qi Gill replied with a smile. The civil strife of the Yongqiqiang people restrained nearly half of Li Yuan's troops, which was a very proud stroke for Qi Gill.
Thinking about the contemptuous expressions of Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Li Shang and others when they first asked for the order, Qi Gill secretly swore in his heart that this battle would fight a piece of heaven and earth at a time.
Cao Shen was defeated at the hands of Li Yuan.
And he Qi Gill won the battle, in such a strong contrast, even if Liu Bang has any favoritism, he must take care of his face. Otherwise, who will die for him?
The more Qi Gill thought about it, the more excited he became, and while he was happy, he held the wine tripod in one hand and the mutton on the table in the other, and got drunk with Jiang Cong and others.
Vertical day.
The dawn is rising.
Qi Gill led the army out of battle, standard weapons, and neatly arranged military formations, appeared in front of Li Yuan's army in the shape of a zigzag, if it were not for the soldiers wearing red cloth jackets, the flagpole with the Chu character on the flag, this is a Qin army troops.
Jiang Cong and the other two Qiang warriors also followed Qi Gill to go out of battle, yesterday's drunkenness did not affect them, among the Qiang people, wine is the most favorite thing of the warriors.
"Qin Gou, come out and die!"
"Li Yuan's thief listened, your grandfather Qi has come to take Er's life."
"Li thief, cowardly mouse, don't you dare to come out to fight?"
At the behest of Qi Ji, a group of scolding soldiers lined up in front of Li Yuan's military camp and began to humiliate Li Yuan with all kinds of foul language.
――。
Inside the Li military camp.
Li Bi, Meng Hu, Bai Guangji, and Cao Xin were so angry that their faces turned red, where could they stand such blatant humiliation when they were young and vigorous, in fact, with their temperament, if the soldiers of the Qi Army scolded them, they would not be so angry, and what made Li Bi and other generals angry was that the most scolded by the Qi Army was Li Yuan.
Who is Li Yuan?
Along the way from Daliang, Baima, and Xingyang, when was Li Yuan, who had been to the forefront several times, afraid, unconsciously, Li Bi and others no longer regarded Li Yuan as a peer, and in their minds, Li Yuan was a commander who would always be trustworthy and never give up.
"You are all in a hurry, but remember, once you are in a hurry, then you will decline, and then you will be exhausted. Qi Gill wants to scold, and let him scold, let's just rest, wait for a moment in the afternoon, and go to battle on time! Li Yuan daxiao, comforting a group of angry subordinates.
In the era of advanced information in later generations, the method of agitation like Qi Gill has almost become a bad trick, Li Yuan does not dare to boast of how familiar he is with the Thirty-six Strategies, but if he can't stand this stimulation, it will really be in vain.
You hit yours, I'll hit mine.
This is the only way to seize the initiative on the battlefield.
Li Yuan listened to those messy scolding words, and kept thinking in his heart, this ancient person is really boring, just a few words upside down, repeatedly scolding, repeating, just like a monk chanting scriptures, from morning to afternoon, for more than three hours, the generals of the Qi army have been standing, looking at the indifferent enemy camp opposite, and constantly reciting Li Yuan's name in their hearts, how uncomfortable this taste is, can be imagined.
The sun was getting hot, and the morale of the soldiers was falling little by little.
The expression on Qi Gill's face is also very rich, from the triumphant at the beginning, his eyebrows are dancing, and he has changed to the current helpless and depressed look, Jiang Congqiang is in good health, this drunkenness last night is nothing, he Qi Gill is a half-hundred-year-old guy, and it is the moment of sleepiness in the afternoon, and he has been basking in the sun for a few hours, how can he stand it.
"Qi Hou, since the Li thief is not out, it is better for me to wait and collect the troops and return to the camp." Just when Qi Gill felt that he couldn't get off the stage, Wang Ling, who was located in the rear army, sent the steps in time.
"This, that's-!" Qi Gill was halfway through his words, and he was about to say the word "collect the troops" next, but he didn't want to hear a war drum beating in the camp opposite.
"Knock knock, knock knock!"
The sound of the drum was like a rapid raindrop, beating on the drum surface quickly, and suddenly stirred up bursts of sound, which shocked the spirits of the soldiers who heard it.
The main gate of Li Yuanjun's closed camp suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers in black suits were arranged to the front under the command of the general colonel in the plate hat and soft armor, and at the central army formation, Li Yuan rode on a yellow fat horse, and appeared in front of Qi Gill, Jiang Cong, and Wang Ling under the protection of a group of generals.
"Li thief, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't come forward to give death quickly!" Qi Gill regained his spirits, and rushed to the front of the battle with a horse.
That compartment.
Li Yuan had already looked at Qi Gill coldly for a long time, a half-hundred-year-old guy in his early forties and almost fifty, he was still jumping up and down and making a lot of noise, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
This Qi Gill is estimated to be an old and angry young man who has not been mixed up in the Qin army system for a long time, otherwise, he would not have surrendered to Liu Bang and acted as Liu Jun's pawn.
The real Qin generals always have something to stick to in their hearts.
Even if he has to surrender, he will not draw his sword on the battlefield with his former colleagues.
