Chapter Twenty-Six: The Battle of the River in the Night
"If the Jin State waits for the opportunity to defeat the Qin army, why should the Qin army be given an opportunity at this time?" I was puzzled.
"The purpose of confronting the Qin army to show weakness and sell misery is to form an alliance and cover up the fact that the weapons were stolen, so as to accumulate strength. As far as the current war situation is concerned, the first Jin State weapon was stolen and was passive, the second Qin army hoped for a quick victory, and our three armies needed to hold on for a long time. ”
"What Zhengqing said about the invasion of other countries, is it ......?" said Luan Dun, the general of the army.
It goes without saying that the state of Chu.
"Exactly, the Qin-Jin alliance will balance the Chu State." Zhao Mengdao.
The Qin State has been raiding the borders of the Jin State for many years, and it is impossible for the Jin State to focus on the barren frontiers in the west all the time, after all, it is the purpose of the Jin State to dominate the Central Plains, and the Southern Chu State is the henchman of the Jin State. Before, the Jin State was busy with civil strife and had no time to take care of the Shang ministers going north to invade the Central Plains countries, and there was no opportunity to form an alliance with the Qin State, but now the opportunity has come, at this time, it can save Zhao Chong and ally with Qin.
"Zhengqing thinks long-term, short-sighted, and fails to be thoughtful." He arched his hand.
"The big war is coming, everyone hurry up to fight, and make a gesture in front of the Qin army, hahaha." Zhao Meng smiled heartily.
"No!" The congregation will listen to orders.
Under the blue and purple, starry dome, the wind was fierce, blowing the mantles of the warriors, and in the darkness a few red rays could be seen chasing the light of the small part of the front. The Jin army chased after Zhao Chuan's troops, the chariot rumbled, fortunately, the distance between the two teams was not much, they insisted on tying Zhao Chong back, ignoring his mouth and complaining about Liantian, unwillingly, only tied him safely to the rear.
Facing the turbulent waters of the Yellow River, the Qin army came from the rear one after another and fought in opposition to the Jin army. The wind blew the banner hunting, the armor on the soldiers' bodies shone orange under the firelight, shining, they breathed white mist flowers in their mouths, their expressions were calm and calm, the war horses dragged the armor cart, the horses' hooves gently kicked the ground, they were ready to set off, only to hear the two sides at the same time to say hello, and began to fight on the river bank......
At this time, the war was a battle of formations, car battles, Zhao Meng was in the center of the commander on the first car, and he was in charge, Fan Wuxian was on the left side of the car as the emperor, and another person protected Zhao Meng on the right side of the car. The other chariot warriors are in the center, with the left armor holding a bow and the right armor holding a spear. At this time, no one rode a horse alone, until the Warring States Zhao Wuling King practiced Hufu riding and shooting, and only then did he learn to ride a horse from the Xiongnu, and then the style of riding a horse gradually prevailed.
The Jin army was arranged in a bow and arrow array, with the upper and lower armies on the left and right flanks, assisting the Chinese army in attacking, allowing the Chinese army to drive straight into the Qin army, and the two wings formed an encirclement of the Qin army outside, like a bow and arrow piercing the enemy's heart. The Qin army used the green dragon array set up by the soldiers, the dragon body was the chariot soldiers, the dragon claws were the foot soldiers, the foot soldiers gave priority to open the way, and used the shields full of thorns to form a small formation to restrain the march of the Jin army chariots, and then launched the rear chariots to attack the Jin army. In the uneven river meandering area on the ground, the Jin army's armored vehicles were driving bumpy, coupled with the heavy armor, it was difficult for the soldiers on the vehicles to control the weapons with ease. Fighting in such terrain, the Qin army's formation is more flexible and appropriate. As the morale shook violently, the two sides attacked, and the formation advanced, and the fire blended, dyeing the night sky with a layer of white light.
The Jin army fought with the Qin army in a hurry, the spears were old and blunt, and they could not use all their strength, and the soldiers were exhausted; Although the Qin army was prepared, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and after fighting for a while, the Qin army faced the rusty and blunt weapons, and the tired Jin army still couldn't parry, and both sides had the intention of withdrawing......
Ying Fu was worried that the Qin army would not be able to be defeated, so he gave priority to withdrawing his troops, and the Jin army no longer pursued him. There is a well-known rule on the battlefield, if one side chooses to retreat, the other side is not allowed to pursue, and if it wants to pursue, it can only chase fifty paces. In the war at that time, the nations followed the moral civilization under the constraints of Zhou etiquette, and there was a way to win. For example, before the start of the war, the chariots of both sides must be lined up and greeted well before the war can begin; If one side is injured, the other side must stop attacking and let the other side return to the camp to heal; White-haired soldiers are not to be captured...... All these are to prevent the victor from winning without force, and to violate "faith" and "benevolence".
"Report! Our army has been withdrawn and retired. A soldier handed over his hand to report to Zhao Meng.
Zhao Meng sat on the main seat, wearing a luxurious silver armor and a red cloak, his eyes were blazing, and he said with satisfaction: "Good." ”
The soldiers in the account also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, my father-in-law is fine." Under the army Zuo Xu Jiadao.
"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will be blessed." Echo the young player behind him.
"All the soldiers have worked hard tonight, in order to prevent the Qin army from moving at night, the scouts have to investigate, you go down first." Zhao Mengdao.
"No!"
The generals retired one after another......
"Bring the captured agent with you." Zhao Meng said in a deep voice.
Two soldiers lifted up one of the soldiers, who was tied tightly with twine, removed the strip of cloth from her mouth, and kicked her knee-down to make her knees, and her legs slammed into the mud.
"Miss Song, when we met for the first time, I didn't expect it to be this situation." Zhao Meng's tone was not shocked, although he had not seen Fan Yu, but Xu Lu's drawing skills were superb, and he had already drawn Fan Yu's appearance, and Zhao Meng ordered people to search for Fan Yu according to the portrait.
“……”
Zhao Meng saw that she was silent, the cold light in his eyes was pressing, and his tone sank: "Where is the weapon?" ”
The bronze of the Spring and Autumn Period is called "gold", in addition to casting ritual weapons, the biggest use is to cast weapons, the amount of copper resources in a country often determines the future of the country, the Jin State lost a large number of bronze weapons in the right library, it is a heavy loss, how can Zhao Meng give up, as soon as Fan Yu entered the house, the weapons of the right library were robbed, and the weapons were robbed, Fan Yu was also robbed, it is difficult for people not to think that these two things are related.
Fan Yu still didn't say a word.
"Yuro's sister, do you remember?"
Fan Yu raised his head, his eyes were full of disbelief, Zhao Meng actually threatened with hostages, could it be that Cai'er was implicated because of herself? Did Xu Lu help her?
Zhao Meng looked at Fan Yu's expression and thought that she was a person who valued love and righteousness.
"What, what kind of weapon ......" Fan Yu's eyes floated, deliberately avoiding Zhao Meng's gaze.
"You know, since you came to the Zhao Mansion, the weapon has been robbed from the right library, you can't rule out suspicion, Youlu's sister is still a child, she must not have thought that her sister Yu is an enemy secret agent, and she has betrayed the trust in her."
Fan Yu originally wanted to come out alone to take revenge, but she didn't expect to be careless and implicated in a human life, and it was an innocent Cai'er, who used to treat her so simply and kindly. As long as people live, as long as they are not ruthless, they cannot simply avoid all the bonds.
"What did you do to her?" Fan Yu's body collapsed, and his voice was like a gnat.
"Why do you have to ask her how she is, aren't you the fault of all this!"
Fan Yu's whole body trembled, and the guilt in her heart made her tremble.
