Chapter 154 A shocking gamble
Yun Yuhong rested for a while, and Wu Xun came with someone, and the Jiang family father and son came with him.
It turned out that after the ghost king's soldiers besieged Qiongcheng, the Jiang family's father and son were in a hurry. Marquis Jiang was stopped by Wu Xun and couldn't move forward, so he immediately sent someone to send a message to Jiang Ruizhen, asking him to return and relieve the siege of Qiongcheng first. It's just that when Jiang Rui came in a hurry, the news of Yuxue's surrender had already come from Qiongcheng. The father and son beat their chests and regretted half to death, half a day, as long as half a day, as long as Qiongcheng can hold for another half a day, they can arrive, Yuxue may not be defeated.
Wu Xun was very respectful, and asked the two of them to go to Qiongcheng together to meet the ghost king. Only then did the two come to Qiongcheng with an army of 200,000.
Yun Yuhong smiled and met them. After Wu Xun brought people, because he had been away from Beijing for a long time, he said goodbye and returned to the capital first. The people he brought that had been specially cultivated by the Second Elder were also taken away by Mr. Ning. In the end, only Yun Yuhong and the Jiang family father and son were left in the hall, as well as the Marquis Cao specially invited by Yun Yuhong.
Jiang Hou Ye looked at Cao Hou Ye, raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Cao saw the opportunity early, and he would be reused by the Ghost King so soon." ”
Hou Ye Cao didn't answer, Yun Yuhong smiled and said: "Hou Ye Jiang has never fought with me, so it's understandable that he is not convinced." I've slept all day today, and I want to move my muscles in the afternoon, so let's make a bet. ”
Jiang Houye looked at Yun Yuhong and said, "What are you betting on?" ”
Yun Yuhong said lightly: "We each sent out 5,000 soldiers, the two armies faced each other, the weapons were wrapped in cloth and coated with white powder, and if they were cut, they would lose, and they would be limited to one hour, which side would have more people left, and which side would win." Let's make a big bet. If I win, the Jiang family will be loyal to me from now on, if I lose, the ghost king's army will withdraw fifty miles from Qiongcheng, the surrender letter will be invalidated, and my ghost king will attack Qiongcheng again, what do you think? ”
Several people were shocked, and Jiang Houye said: "This is true, is the ghost king's bet too big." ”
Yun Yuhong smiled lightly: "Since I entered the Jade Snow Country, that battle was not a gamble. I'm a very confident person, and I have to bet big. ”
Jiang Ruizhen jumped up and said: "Okay, if you say something, I'll pick someone, and we'll see you on the battlefield." ”
Yun Yuhong nodded, and the Jiang family's father and son left quickly. Looking at their departing backs, Marquis Cao thoughtfully, turned around and asked Yun Yuhong: "Ghost King, are you going to let someone play, or do you have any good plans?" ”
Yun Yuhong smiled, "The Ghost King Army is small in number, but its strength has never been weak, I don't need any strategy, I just want people to see the strength of the Ghost King Army, and I want to convince Yu Xueren." ”
Half an hour later, the open space outside the city was full of people, the walls were full of soldiers and officials, and even the trees outside the city were full of people, and all the places where people could stand did not fall. This gamble was quickly spread, attracting the attention of everyone in Qiongcheng, think about it, if Jiang Houye wins, the ghost king will retreat, which is equivalent to another chance for Yuxue to gain a foothold in the five countries, and the Jiang family army has always been brave, known as the first army of Yuxue, such a miracle is also very likely to happen.
Of course, some people will also think that the reason why the ghost king dares to bet like this is that she is prepared, at least she is nine times out of ten, so this is an opportunity for the ghost king to show his strength, but no matter what, such a once-in-a-lifetime gambler is still full of interest and must open his eyes.
The "battlefield" is a large circle that has been enclosed, and the first thing is the entry of the Jiang family's army. Jiang Jiajun's military appearance was neat, his armor was bright, and he was full of morale, and he walked in with neat steps. There was a cheer all around. And it was Jiang Ruizhen who led the team.
Next is the ghost king army entering, the ghost king army is a black dress and black armor, and they are neat to the height of a sword, and the range of shaking hands is exactly the same. Unlike Jiang Jiajun, the Ghost King Army has a dignified aura on his body, which makes people feel cold and terrifying when they look at it. It's just that this atmosphere was ruined by the person who led the team, and the leader was eight children, one of whom also had a monkey sitting on his shoulder, although they were wearing armor, but looking at their appearance and figure, they were children. Many people began to discuss, the ghost king is too big, how can he send a few children to participate in such a major matter.
Yun Yuhong and Jiang Houye stood on the city tower and watched, and there was also the former Yuxue monarch standing on the city tower, and he now pinned all his hopes on Jiang Houye.
Jiang Houye was still respectful to Yuxue Guojun, but Yun Yuhong didn't take him seriously. looked at Jiang Hou Ye and said, "Jiang Hou Ye, now that you are ready, you are willing to gamble and lose." ”
Jiang Houye snorted and said, "Just don't regret the ghost king, let's start." ”
Yun Yuhong smiled, ordered people to beat the drum, and the two armies began to face each other.
Jiang Rui's array was well prepared, and he did not rush forward at the beginning, but showed an offensive and defensive mutual assistance array, mainly because of the combination of offense and defense, and he took a steady and steady path. The Ghost King Army didn't pay attention to these things, and a group of people immediately surrounded them. There is no discipline, and it is so simple and rude that it is directly hand-to-hand.
Jiang Houye glanced at Yun Yuhong and said in his heart: "Just fight like this, just wait to lose." ”
It's just that Marquis Jiang quickly discovered the problem, the attack of the Ghost King Army has no rules, that is, they don't need rules, and their individual ability is no less than a general. A ghost king army can deal with three or five Jiang family troops at the same time. In the case of the same number of people, Jiang Jiajun fell and left the field at a fast speed.
Jiang Ruizhen quickly discovered the problem and immediately changed the formation to defense. It's just that the disparity in strength can't be made up for by the formation, and Jiang Jiajun still left the field at a very fast speed.
Jiang Rui was in a hurry, and rushed up to the Ghost King's army with a loud roar. Several children immediately greeted him. During this period of battlefield training, the cooperation between several children was more tacit, and their martial arts were more proficient.
Jiang Hou Ye let out a long sigh, the Ghost King Army is too powerful, in fact, with such strength, the Ghost King does not need any strategy, and it is not a problem to directly capture Yuxue. In the past, I always felt how amazing the first army of Yuxue was, but when I saw it today, I realized that there are people outside the world.
Cao Hou Ye was also impressed, and he said where did the ghost king come from, dare to make such an earth-shattering gamble, with such an army, where did she dare not go, what did she dare not do. Looking at the disappointed eyes around her, looking at the suspicious eyes of Yuxue Guojun, Cao Houye suddenly understood Yun Yuhong's intentions, first, she made people understand the power of the Ghost King Army, so that people did not dare to act rashly, and secondly, she just wanted the Jiang family to be defeated in front of the world, so that the Jiang family had to keep its promise to surrender to her, because she was anxious to need the Jiang family's submission, because the biggest weakness of the Ghost King was that the strength was not enough, the Ghost King Army only had 200,000, but the Yuxue Army had 600,000 here, once the Yuxue Army mutinied, that would be the biggest problem. The strategy of the ghost king is not used in war, but in the calculation of people's hearts.
It's just that everyone is attracted by such a big gamble, and few people understand the problem at present, so everyone's mood is fluctuating with the situation in the battlefield. Especially Jiang Ruizhen and a few children. In the end, the children were younger and had limited endurance, and they were gradually at a disadvantage in front of Jiang Ruizhen, first Bai Ziren was slashed out, and then the second prince was kicked out, and soon, several children were defeated, and the crowd cheered loudly.
Jiang Ruizhen didn't feel very happy, he had delayed for too long, and Jiang Jiajun didn't have much left without his command. He looked at the situation and wanted to change the formation, but a sound of gold sounded, and the competition was over.
There is no need to count the heads, everyone can see the victory, there are at least three thousand people in the Ghost King's army, and there are less than one thousand left in the Jiang family's army. Jiang Ruizhen stood in place, as if his soul had been drained all of a sudden.
Yun Yuhong looked at the disappointed former Yuxue Guojun, and smiled: "Let you down, I'll send someone to send you down to rest." ”
Several soldiers came over and took Yuxue Guojun away.
Yun Yuhong looked at Jiang Hou Ye again, "Jiang Hou Ye, just now we said that we were willing to gamble and lose, but you lost." ”
Marquis Jiang turned his head to look at Yun Yuhong, struggling between whether to fulfill his oath, and after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and knelt down and said, "Meet the ghost king." There was a sigh of disappointment from the crowd. The Jiang family has all returned to the ghost king, and Yuxue has no hope.
Yun Yuhong smiled and helped up Jiang Hou Ye and said: "Hou Ye, please get up, you will be your own people in the future, don't be so polite." Come, let's go back and rest and talk slowly. ”
Yun Yuhong glanced at Mr. Ning, asked him to arrange the aftermath, and returned to the palace with a group of people.
After sitting down, Yun Yuhong looked at the depressed children and said, "What's the matter, if you lose the battle, that's it?" Didn't I tell you, you must have the grace to win when you win, and you must have the attitude of losing when you lose, how can you do it if you can't stand it? ”
The second prince thought for a while and said to Jiang Ruizhen: "I am very interested in General Jiang's formation, and I also ask General Jiang to teach me in the future." ”
Yun Yuhong smiled: "That's right, this is my ghost king's younger brother." If you defeat it, you will learn, and if you learn to fight again, there will always be a day to win. ”
The younger brother of the ghost king, everyone was shocked, the ghost king is also the eldest princess, so isn't her younger brother the prince, these children are princes? With the exception of a few who knew their identities, the eyes of the others widened. How could Qianzong be willing to let the prince go to the battlefield, look at this dress, he is a centurion.
Jiang Ruizhen was also shocked, and pointed to a few children and said, "You are..."
Yun Yuhong smiled, patted the second prince's head and said, "My imperial brother, I will take them out to learn something, lest they only talk on paper like the fifth prince, and stab Lou Zi for me in the future." ”
Leaving the fifth prince, Marquis Jiang and Marquis Cao were a little uncomfortable, so it seems that Yuxue Guojun is not very good at teaching children.
The second prince touched his head and smiled: "Sister the emperor, the ghost king soldiers you picked today are too powerful, can you give them to us?" ”
