Chapter 116: Grief
The military formation of the Qingluan army is extremely neat, and the heavy infantry of the Great Chu State is facing the same problems as the Qianguo State, lacking horses, and at the same time, their opponents are often the key to determining their own development ideas.
For hundreds of years, the Yan people had to face the barbarians in the desert, so they had to have an iron horse of their own to compete with the barbarians.
Although the glorious era of the Shanyue people has long passed, their resistance is still one after another, the mountains and rivers are treacherous, and the cavalry is of little use, which also gave birth to the heavy infantry and sailors of the Chu State.
Now
The thousands of Yan troops who had just killed Jiang basically did not have war horses, and the military adventure of the great prince should have been a success in itself, but he didn't expect that in Yupan City, there was actually an elite of the Chu State hidden all along.
Thinking about it this way, the new dynasty established by Situ Yi is really like a spittoon, which will fall when it is used up by all forces, without pity.
"Qu prepared water and wine in the city, and asked the prince of Yan to appreciate his face."
The state of Chu is a coalition of nobles, and the major nobles have their own fiefs, and they pay great attention to bloodline and inheritance.
Yao Zizhan liked needle incidents when he was young, and once said: Qianli is heavy and cumbersome, while Chu Li repeats the ancient.
It means that the pursuit of etiquette is how cumbersome, formalized, and complicated.
The Chu people are constantly pursuing the traditions of their ancestors, and everything is focused on leaning towards the ancestors, the most obvious point is that in the Chu State, there is still an extremely ancient profession of witch doctors, and there are also witch doctors in the palace of the Chu State, who specialize in finding and discovering the healing methods of the ancient sages.
At the same time, there is another characteristic in the state of Chu, that is, if there is a rebellion or war in the country, then the soldiers can die, but if the noble generals on both sides are captured or surrendered, they must be courteous, and at the same time they must be returned, at most, with some ransom.
Therefore, at this time, Qu Tiannan invited the eldest prince into the city, saying that he was preparing water and wine, but he was really not lying.
The eldest prince grabbed the knife in his palm and smiled,
"It can be checked in history, the Ji family has emperors who died in battle, but there are no descendants who have surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield!"
Qu Tiannan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Everyone has different cultural concepts, so they are also different in their thinking patterns, in Qu Tiannan's view, the prince of the Yan people does not cherish his noble bloodline so much, it is really a bit self-inferior.
Qu Tiannan waved his finger forward,
The Qingluan Army began to press.
Li Bao took a deep breath and shouted:
"There are all the troops in the north of the town!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
All the Yan soldiers clutched their sabers, and the archers reopened their bows and arrows.
Li Bao looked back at the eldest prince and said, "Please retreat for Your Highness, we will cut off the queen for Your Highness." ”
"Didn't you hear what Lone just said?"
"It's easy to die, it's actually harder to live, after the war, someone has to take responsibility, in the face of Your Majesty, in the face of the anger of your subjects, please Your Highness, live, take responsibility."
On the battlefield, but mother-in-law and mother can't.
Besides, your head is more precious, and the last general doesn't want the Chu people to hang your head on the flagpole and show off your might. ”
The words have been said quite bluntly.
The plan to raid Yupan City had already failed when the Qingluan army of the Chu State appeared.
The Battle of Wangjiang of the Eastern Expeditionary Army will end with heavy losses.
At the moment, dying in battle seems to be a good destination, because in the past hundred years, the Yan people have not experienced such a failure, especially in the past few years, with the series of great victories achieved by the two marquis of Zhenbei Hou Jing and Nanhou, the Yan people's morale has suddenly risen, from the court to the army, and then to the people, it seems that they feel that the black dragon is invincible, this is the posture that Dayan should have.
"Your Highness, what kind of character Li Fusheng is, you also know it, let him clean up the mess, in case he gets sick, he dares to slaughter Yingdu up and down.
We can't cross this river, but we can't let the Chu people and savages easily fight again. ”
The eldest prince's face twitched a little, Li Bao said what he thought in his heart, as a prince, and he was also a leading prince who was trained by his father as a great future since he was a child, and he was defeated by this, he simply did not have the courage to face the criticism in the future.
No matter how many reasons there are, the general of the defeated army is incompetent!
"Guard the battalion, escort His Highness across the river!"
Li Bao gave an order to the guard battalion,
forthwith
He didn't hide anything from his subordinates,
yelled:
"All owned by the Zhenbei Army, after I am cut off for His Royal Highness, we just have to die in battle and be heroes, and the eldest prince will live to wipe our butts!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
The whole army laughed, but there was no sadness of being a broken rear army, and some were just heroic.
The eldest prince bit his lip, at this moment, he thought of Tian Wujing, when that man decided to destroy himself, did he also decide to deal with the criticism of Qingshi and the world like himself now?
But in any case, he is the boss, Li Bao is right, death, it is very easy, the prince who dies in battle will also be very tragic, at least, he can earn some tears from his father.
When a person dies in battle, no matter how big the fault is, there is no need to pursue it, and the world is always extremely tolerant of the dead.
But on the other side of the river, there is still a large army waiting for him, and he has to put the situation in order, otherwise it will collapse......
Without having to guard it, the eldest prince began to run on his own, go back, go back, go back.........
And behind the Great Prince,
In the face of the approaching Qingluan army,
Li Bao raised his knife with one arm:
"Ambition to fall into battle!"
Thousands of soldiers from the surrounding towns chanted in unison:
"There is death and no life!"
………
The flower boat had already approached the gate of the sluice gate, and the young man sighed with some embarrassment:
"If I'm not mistaken, the other party's Chinese army is the so-called Zhenbei Army, right?"
The swordsmith nodded and said:
"It's a sharp knife sharpened by the Yan people with barbarians."
"Alas, it's a pity that this time the Yan people lost only the Left Route Army, if it was the Zhenbei Army that was lost, how good it would be."
Such an elite, since it belongs to another country, naturally the more deaths the better.
The swordsmith said unceremoniously:
"If it's the Zhenbei Army, do we dare to let them cross the river like their Left Route Army?"
"Yes, but I, Da Chu, also have to take this opportunity to buy horses from the savages and form their own cavalry, which is said to be very expensive?"
"It's quite expensive."
"Then you work harder, make more swords, and sell them."
"If you build too much, it's worthless."
"Ahh
The young man walked to the side of the boat,
Very unbuttoned trouser belts very unfiguratively,
Put that work under the boat,
I was relieved once before, and when the Yan people killed the shore, they were scared to pee once, and now, it is the third time.
At this time, part of the corpses of the swallow people floating down from the upstream had already merged into the tributaries, and the river water began to turn red.
The boy didn't have the thrill of winning the bet,
Looking at the corpses on the surface of the river,
It seems that even the originally pleasant relief has suddenly become boring.
………
On the other side, there was no accident, Li Bao led the army to successfully intercept the Qingluan army, and the eldest prince was able to cross the river and return to the west bank.
Qingluan's military has been hiding in the city for the first time, so naturally he can't make outflanking actions in advance, for fear of being discovered in advance, and it is impossible to lay out the so-called heaven and earth net.
The most important thing is that these thousands of Zhenbei soldiers burst out with extremely strong fighting intentions.
Shanyue people are often not afraid of death and don't take their lives seriously, probably because of the feeling that they don't care about their lives anyway.
The Qingluan army has been fighting against Shanyue all year round, and it should have been used to this for a long time.
But the group of Yan people in front of them are not only fearless of death, but their fighting experience and battle formation skills are far from being comparable to the so-called Shanyue tribe.
The Zhenbei Army, which dismounted and fought on foot, was inseparable from the Qingluan Army, which was dominated by infantry, if it weren't for the obvious numerical advantage of the Qingluan Army, who could gnaw who would be able to bite who in the end, it was really hard to say.
The great prince who had crossed the river and returned knelt on the dirt slope on the shore,
Looking at the corpse of the Yan army floating down from the upstream in front of him,
Li Fusheng returned, and left again after receiving the order from the eldest prince to gather up his troops and retreat thirty miles.
The eldest prince knelt here until nightfall, and until some of the warships of the Chu State Naval Division upstream sailed down, he did not see Li Bao's return.
Finally, he slowly stood up.
he
Gotta live.
He will become a sinner in the Yan Kingdom and a disgrace to the Ji family.
Tian Wujing's folk reputation is not good, but what is not good is only the wind evaluation, the Yan people value military merits, and they are still convinced of Tian Wujing's ability to win battles.
Even if there are many people in the government and the opposition who have a very poor perception of Tian Wujing, but there are not many who fall into the ground, even if Tian Wujing is closed in the Jingnan Hou Mansion in Litian City, and he doesn't even accept the holy decree, there are more officials in the court, and they are also thinking about maintaining and covering up.
Without him, Tian Wujing would fight, and with such a military god in the country, everyone can always have a sense of security in their hearts.
And now,
As a prince,
defeated,
Without military merit and without victory as a foundation,
The so-called title of prince,
will become worthless in an instant,
It can even become a kind of original sin of oneself.
Even his father, who trusted himself and sent himself to command, will be recorded in the history books of later generations:
favored his son, and regarded the soldiers as child's play, which eventually made a big mistake.
………
A few days later,
The extremely haggard Jinshu knelt down in front of Zheng Fan and reported the situation of the Battle of Wangjiang.
Zheng Fan sat in the first seat,
The rest of the Demon Kings sat below.
Zheng Fan bet right again, he guessed that the Savage King would surprise him, and the Savage King did not live up to his expectations.
In the battle of Wangjiang, the main force of the left army of Yan was almost wiped out, and the Wangjiang River was full of corpses of Yan people.
A big defeat came so suddenly.
It's just that
Zheng Fan didn't have the slightest bet on his "far-sighted" face.
Instead, he was a little tired and gently kneaded his eyebrows with his fingers,
Said slowly:
"It stands to reason that I should be happy to hear this. But how do I feel a little sad? ”
