Chapter XIX. First Battle
Lu Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the general of Chaoge under the city, only to see that his qi and blood were full, and there was a sign of blood and wolf smoke rising, obviously a mortal general who had cultivated martial arts and blood to a certain level.
But that's all, because the aura in this world is full and active, people in this era are generally extremely physical, and normal adult men have a slightly stronger physique, and their strength can reach four or five hundred jun.
And some talented people don't even have to deliberately practice any martial arts, the art of refining the body, they can lift the tripod, and the big tripod that is heavy can be lifted, let alone the generals who specialize in cultivating martial arts and polishing their strength and blood.
Therefore, that Chaoge general, in this era, is not a rare peerless general, and it is not inferior to the level of the Xiqi generals, and it is not an enemy difficult to deal with.
Seeing that the general was still clamoring for a fight, Lu Zhi didn't bother to listen to his noise, turned his head to the generals behind him and asked, "Who went out of the city for Ben Shuai to capture the enemy general?" This is the first battle between my Xiqi and Yin Shang, and the winner can remember the first feat. ”
Hearing Lu Zhi's words, all the generals asked for their lives, willing to go out to fight to capture the enemy, after all, although it is not much credit to take a song of war to the enemy general, but Lu Zhi also said that this is their first battle against Yin Shang, the first feat, which is of great significance, and the generals are naturally high-spirited.
"The last will go!"
"Marshal, the last general can make a military order and take down the enemy who is shouting under the city!"
Even Huang Feihu couldn't help but be a little moved, but in the end he didn't speak, after all, the general under the city, he also knew, but he was just a vanguard under Wen Taishi, and if he personally went out to capture him, it was really a bit of a self-surrender.
In addition, he has just joined Xiqi now, and he is not familiar with the Xiqi generals, and he still feels a little rusty, and now in this situation, if he insists on being strong, it is easy to hate those colleagues in the future, and it seems too utilitarian, which is not a good thing.
Lu Zhi didn't pay attention to what Huang Feihu and the others were thinking, he just glanced at the generals who had asked for battle, and after a little silence, he ordered.
"In that case, let General Nangong fight, but remember, you must not leave the enemy general and let him escape, otherwise the military stick will not be merciful!"
This time, although it is only the first battle of the Song Pioneer to come to the city to invite the battle, it is also the first battle that represents the official war between Xiqi and Chaoge, and it is also the first battle after Lu Zhi became the commander, and it can only be won, not defeated!
That's why he deliberately chose Nangong Shi, who was the strongest martial artist among the generals of the Xiqi side, to fight, and specially said that he was powerful, in order to win this first battle.
Nangong Shi commanded: "Please rest assured, if you can't capture the enemy general alive, the last general will never return to the city!" ”
After giving the commander's order, Nangong appropriately went down to the city, took weapons and horses, led a team of personal soldiers to open the door to meet the battle, and rushed towards the general of Chaoge.
"Let's get the name together!"
"I am Xiqi Nangong Shi, who are you?"
The general of Chaoge raised the big knife in his hand and pointed at Nangong Shidao.
"This general is the vanguard general Chao Lei under the command of Wen Taishi, and now he is ordered to go to your Xiqi to ask you why Xiqi Ji Fa dares to disrespect the king and proclaim himself the king of martial arts? Ignoring the order of the court, he contained the traitor Huang Feihu, do you know that this is a catastrophe to destroy the county and break the city?! ”
"If you know each other, you will immediately pat the horse and return to the city, let that Ji send himself to the title of King Wu, open the gate of Xiqi City, send out the traitor Huang Feihu, and send Benjiang to Chaoge to accept the crime!"
"In this way, you can still solve the disaster of Xiqi County, otherwise, when Wen Taishi leads the Chaoge Heavenly Soldiers to come, you will definitely be trampled into powder!"
Nangong Shi laughed and said: "That Emperor Xin is brutal and unreasonable, and heaven and man are angry, I, Xiqi, have long since rejected this Daoless King, and King Wucheng is also because of that Emperor Xin's cruelty, and under the anger, he turned out of Chaoge City and threw himself into my Xiqi, wanting to rebel against Wudao Yin Shang with us." ”
"You guy, but you're still helping to abuse, don't you know that I, Xiqi, is the destiny of heaven?!"
"Today, I will take you down, send you to the marshal, cut off your first-class sacrificial flag, and open a profitable city for my Xiqi crusade against Yin Shang!"
After speaking, he saw Nangong Shi's legs slamming down the mount, the war horse neighed, and suddenly opened its four hooves, rushing towards the thunder like an arrow off the string.
"How daring!" Chao Lei shouted angrily, and also urged the war horse under the seat, and raised the big knife to meet him!
The two charging knight figures, but in an instant, they collided hard in front of the formation!
Boom!
A deafening clash of gold and iron exploded, and the two broadswords suddenly collided in mid-air, striking a burst of dazzling sparks.
The two horses staggered, Nangong Shi's body did not shake, and immediately lifted the reins of the horse again, turned the horse's head and rushed towards the thunder again.
But that Chao Lei was because his strength was not as good as Nangong Shi, and his body trembled violently and almost didn't fall off the horse.
Nangong Shi was unforgiving, and he rushed forward with a fierce attack, so that Chao Lei could hardly parry, and after supporting him for more than 30 years, he was finally defeated by Nangong Shi Yong, and he was picked off the horse with a knife, and his eyes were full of gold stars, and he was easily captured by Nangong Shi, tied up and brought back to the city.
"Marshal, the last general has come to restore his life, the enemy general Chao Lei has been captured by the last general and returned to the city, please send the marshal down!"
Lu Zhi nodded, and said to Jiang Ziya on the side: "Prime Minister Jiang, in this battle, General Nangong captured the enemy and returned, won this first battle for our army, and strengthened the prestige of our army, so I should take credit for it." ”
Jiang Ziya said with a smile: "I have already written down this first credit for General Nangong in the merit book." ”
Nangong Shi's face suddenly turned happy, and he bowed: "Thank you Marshal, thank you Prime Minister." ”
Lu Zhi responded, waved his hand to let him go down, and then suddenly turned his head to Huang Feihu and asked, "King Wucheng, you have been in the Chaoge Army for many years, you should also know about this Chao Lei, right?" I don't know what this person's reputation is? Is there any brutality? ”
Huang Feihu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, what Lu Zhi meant by asking.
"Returning to the marshal, this Chao Lei Wu also knows that he is under the command of Wen Taishi, for many years, he has accompanied Wen Taishi to fight in the east and west, charging into battle, every battle is regarded as the first, and he has a lot of love for his soldiers, and he has never done anything cruel and unreasonable."
"Huang Feihu is brave, here to ask for a favor for General Chao Lei, the last general dares to say, if we can recruit this person, we will be able to get its effect in the future!"
After understanding the meaning of Lu Zhi's question, Huang Feihu simply took the opportunity to intercede for Na Chao Lei, and asked Lu Zhi to spare his life and surrender to himself.
Lu Zhi nodded: "If that's the case, that handsome man will also sell you a favor to King Wucheng." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Chao Lei, who was pressed to the ground, and asked, "Chao Lei, King Wucheng has to beg for your life, and Ben Shuai will give you a chance." ”
"Are you willing to surrender to my Xiqi, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and fight with us and others in the future?"
He didn't say anything threatening, after all, he was not the kind of iron-blooded person who would take the heads of enemy generals to sacrifice the flag at every turn, and since there was nothing evil about this thunder, Lu Zhi was willing to spare his life.
Of course, if he doesn't want to surrender, then Lu Zhi can only send him to the rear to work as a coolie....
Xiqi is very poor now, and there are not enough people, many soldiers don't even have armor on them, and it just so happened that an iron mine was found in the mountains behind Xiqi at the previous time, and Lu Zhi was ready to catch a group of people and send them to the rear to mine.
Fortunately, this Chao Lei is still quite aware of current affairs, so as not to have to work and live forever under that pit in the future.
"I didn't know that this Xiqi Marshal was originally Dr. Lu Zhi, who improved rice planting and cultivation methods back then, and the last general was willing to surrender, and from then on he would vote under Marshal Lu to listen to orders."
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows, this person, still knows himself? Seeing the look of worship on his face, Lu Zhi seemed to understand a little why Lao Jun let him go to Chaoge to educate the people and improve water conservancy and agriculture.
This move not only allowed him to gain a lot of merit, and cultivated the Creation Qinglian to the level of the Nine Grades in one fell swoop, but also brought him a lot of prestige, at least in that dynasty song, but there are few people who don't know his good name.
In this way, when he led the three armies of Xiqi to crusade against Yin Shang in the future, the reputation accumulated back then could bring them a lot of hidden help.
Just like now, didn't he rely on brushing his face to successfully recruit the first general to surrender to Chaoge.
