According to history, the Taixing War in June of the fourth year of Xinwu began with a scuffle, although the warring parties had their own plans in advance, but because the war started too suddenly, the rhythm was disrupted. Zheng Lun's army had just arrived in the east of Taixing, and before he could rest, he was forced to start a war with the Xian clan. Xian's work was at ease, and at the beginning it had the upper hand, but with the crossing of the river by the Hejia water army to participate in the war, the situation was suddenly reversed, and in desperation, Buliu Guxiao had to lead the army back to Taixing and fight according to the city.
According to the previous calculation, with the strength of Zheng Lun and He Ze, it was not difficult to capture Taixing, but who knew that the siege had only started for two days, but Xian's reinforcements suddenly appeared on the west side of Taixing.
These hundreds of thousands of Xian's reinforcements who fell from the sky were really unexpected by Zheng Lun and others.
Because Feng Junyang and others all expected that the soldiers and horses of the Northern Desert would not defend the city for the Xian people, they specially let go of the west side of Taixing to leave a way for the people of the Northern Desert to retreat, but they did not want to be used by Tuoba Yao, and quietly transferred the hundreds of thousands of Xian troops in Jingyang, passed through the Xihu grassland, passed through Maocheng, Xiaogecheng, and Hamburg, and arrived to the west of Taixing unconsciously.
In this way, not counting the 100,000 Northern Desert people, the Xian clan's troops have also been superior. Thanks to the Xian reinforcements coming from afar, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and the combat strength was damaged, which gave Zheng Lun and He Ze the opportunity to retreat.
He Ze led the army to retreat to the riverside, wanting to cross the river and return to the water village, but the sailor ships parked on the riverside were attacked by the Xian people, thousands of warships were burned, and in the night, the fire rose to the sky, reflecting the entire river. When He Ze's front road was cut off, and the Xian people and horses chased and killed him behind, when he saw that the whole army was about to be annihilated, Chen Nian led the cavalry of the righteous army to kill back from the northeast, and inserted it from the left rear flank of the Xian army in a wedge-shaped queue, like a sharp blade, tearing a hole in the front line of the Xian army, saving He Ze's army from coming to the northeast and joining forces with Zheng Lun's army.
After days of hard fighting, everyone was in a mess, Zheng Lun was injured in the battle with Buliu Guxiao, it was Chen Nian, and because he led the army to rescue He Ze, he also had a color on his body. The cavalry charged in a wedge-shaped array, and although it was extremely penetrating, at the same time, the general who was in the first place was also the most dangerous, and no general was willing to use such an array unless it was absolutely necessary.
He Ze knew the advantages and disadvantages of this array, and he was a little more grateful to Chen Nian in his heart, and specially went to her to thank her. Chen Nian was shot in the arm by a stray arrow, and was sitting on the ground to let the spirit bird bandage her wounds, when she saw He Ze coming, she only glanced at him with her eyelids, and said lightly: "You don't have to thank me, it was not my intention to save you, but the overall situation is important." β
He Ze just smiled helplessly when he heard this, turned a blind eye to the white eyes of the sparrow, sat down on the ground opposite Chen Nian, and said: "I think we all underestimated Tuoba Yao, if it wasn't for the early war this time, he accidentally ruined his plan, so that his reinforcements could go around behind you, and our two armies would have been damaged in his hands." β
What He Ze said was true. Everyone's eyes are on Taixing City, if the Xian reinforcements quietly bypass Taixing from the north and block behind Zheng Lun's army, when the time comes, they will suffer from the enemy.
Chen Nian was indifferent, He Ze sat for a moment, feeling bored, and was about to get up and leave, but Zheng Lun had already come from a distance and said, "The prince has led his troops south, and he will arrive in a few days." β
Everyone was in high spirits when they heard this, and He Ze was a little surprised, and said strangely: "So fast? But the vanguard cavalry? β
Because there is a Jiangzhong Plain between Yuzhou and Taixing, if it is only a cavalry vanguard, it can be reached in a few days. I didn't want Zheng Lun to shake his head and said: "No, the cavalry vanguard has gone west to cut off Tuoba Yao's retreat, and it is the prince's Chinese army that comes to Taixing." β
Hearing him say this, all the generals couldn't help but show joy on their faces, Feng Junyang could come so quickly, it was really unexpected by everyone, it should be that he had just returned to Yuzhou, and he got the news that Tuoba Yao was going south, so he could have such a quick response.
He Ze tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Don't be busy with happiness first, I'm afraid that Tuoba Yao will also know that the army of King Yunxi is coming, and he won't ask us to wait until he comes." β
This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured on the head, and the joy of the generals was extinguished at once. Tuoba Yao was willing to take a risk, and hundreds of thousands of troops returned to Taixing outside the city from Jingyang, in order to concentrate his forces to destroy Zheng Lun and He Ze first, and then turn around to concentrate on dealing with Feng Junyang, how could he sit and wait to see his several armies encircling Taixing.
Zheng Lun had already thought of this after receiving the report of Fengjun Yangjun, so his face had been flat, and now he was told by He Ze, but there was no change, and he said in a deep voice: "So far, if you flee eastward, you can't escape the pursuit of the Xian cavalry, but it is better to turn around and meet the enemy, as long as you can hold out for three or five days, and when the prince's army arrives, you can reverse the tide of the battle." β
He Ze smiled faintly and said, "That's the case, you should also go east and occupy a powerful terrain to fight against the Xian clan." β
To the east, Taixing would enter the hilly area of Xiangzhou, with many mountains and low mountains, and if they could lead the Xian pursuers there, their chances of victory would be a few percent higher.
Chen Nian had been silent, Zheng Lun couldn't help but turn his head to look at her and asked, "What do you think?" β
Chen Nian thought for a while, stood up and called Zheng Lun aside, and said, "Capture the thief and capture the king first, I want to enter Taixing City-"
"Don't think!" Zheng Lun interrupted her words in a cold voice, Chen Nian's injury had already made him extremely guilty, how could he allow her to risk her life again and go to Nataixing alone. Zheng Lun pursed his lips and said, "You lead the troops to retreat to the east first, and I will block the Xian's pursuers later." β
Chen Nian looked at Zheng Lun with a tough attitude and said, "Tuoba Yao is bent on clearing the periphery of Taixing before the arrival of Fengjun Yang's army, and you can't stop him at all." I went to Taixing, although it was a risk, but it was a way to win in danger. β
At this moment, the sky is getting brighter, and the stars are rising in the east, but they can't take away the brilliance in her eyes. Zheng Lun was stunned for a moment, then looked away and said in a low voice: "I replied to him, I want to keep you safe." I don't need you to go to Taixing, I will block the Xian's chasing soldiers here, and the prince will come with the troops, and then I can win the same way. β
Chen Nian was silent when he heard this, but after a while, he said softly: "Zheng Lun, I don't just want to win, I also want to die fewer people, whether it is Han or Xian. She paused for a moment and said, "You know my background, although He Zhen is my biological father, there is no affection between me and him, and even only resentment." And my mother, the stepfather who raised me, they are all Xian people. I have half of the Xian bloodline in my body, in fact, I don't want to fight against the Xian people at all, and I feel guilty for every extra Xian person's life under my knife. β
Zheng Lun's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Nian in dismay.
Chen Nian snorted slightly, "It's ridiculous, isn't it?" I killed all the way from Jizhou, and I don't know how much blood of the Xian people was stained on my hands, but I said that I didn't want to kill the Xian people, if I was heard, I would definitely think that I was extremely hypocritical. β
"No, it won't." Zheng Lun suddenly whispered, "Chen Nian, you are not wrong. The world is in turmoil, the people are not happy, to fight to fight, to kill to stop killing, this is not a mistake, this is a great righteousness. β
Chen Nian didn't want Zheng Lun to say such a thing, so he looked at him with some meaning and smiled lightly, "Thank you." β
At this moment, a scout suddenly galloped in and reported to Zheng Lunyu: "General, the Xian army is chasing from behind, and it is less than twenty miles away from our army. β
The sky was just dawn, and the Xian pursuers had arrived. Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Zheng Lun, waiting for his decision. Zheng Lun glanced at Chen Nian and said, "First repel the pursuers, and then talk about your trip to Taixing, okay?" β
Chen Nian nodded and replied in a deep voice: "Okay." β
Zheng Lun turned his head again and asked He Ze: "General He is a local, do you know where the terrain is suitable for ambush?" β
He Ze groaned for a moment and replied: "More than 30 miles northeast of here, there is a low mountain called Yuanbao Mountain, which can be ambushed. β
Zheng Lunguo said: "Okay, then please General He lead his troops to set up an ambush there first, and I will lead the army to block the pursuing troops here, and then defeat and lead the enemy army there." β
He Ze should get down, turn over his horse, and leave with the He family's army first.
Zheng Lun calmly gave a few more military orders, and the generals took the orders one by one, and Zhun Bèi lined up here to meet the Xian's pursuers. The rebel army led by Chen Nian quietly came north, chose a gentle slope to hide, and only waited for the Xian army to engage Zheng Lun, and then rushed out from the rear of the enemy flank and attacked the enemy position.
This task, compared to those military formations that have to face the enemy head-on, is much less dangerous, although Wen Daya is not afraid of death, but he can't help but secretly get lucky, and whispered to the spirit sparrow next to him: "Then Zheng Lun is also kind, he didn't let our rebels stand in the front and send his descendants to death." β
In fact, from Jizhou and Zheng Lun joining forces to fight against the Xian's Helan Department, to going west all the way to rescue Taixing, Zheng Lun has always been kind to the righteous army, and Lingque has an upright temperament, and he can't help but say: "Brother Wen, don't talk like this, General Zheng is a frank husband, I used to blame him." β
Wen Daya laughed twice and explained, "Aren't I also praising him?" β
The sparrow did not speak, but clamped the horse's belly between his legs, urging the horse to go forward to find the new year. Fang Xun, who was beside Wen Daya, looked at it strangely, and couldn't help but lean up to Wen Daya, and asked in a low voice: "I see that Miss Lu has a good temper these days, I don't know which sentence is right to make her unhappy, and I didn't think she was like this before." β
Wen Daya turned his head to look at Fang Xun, opened his mouth, but the words changed again when he reached the tip of his tongue, and he was only surprised: "Is there one?" I think she's always been so straightforward. β
Fang Xun was a person who was thick and thin, so he could naturally see that Wen Daya was pretending to be stupid with him, and smiled, but he didn't say anything.
After waiting for a while, I heard the ground in the south faintly shake, and after a while, there was a heaven-shattering shout of killing. Chen Nian couldn't help but whisper: "It's already a battle." β
Lingque nodded slightly, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked Chen Nian: "Big boss, what if the general of the Xian clan who is chasing after the troops is Brother Lu?" β
When Chen Nian heard this, he turned his head to look at her.
The spirit bird's always strong face suddenly showed some confusion, she unconsciously lowered her head, and said softly: "Although since the day I returned to Jiangbei, I have been ready to meet Brother Lu one day, but when this day really comes, I am afraid." β
She is still like this, what about the year when she is more entangled with Lu Xiao? Lingque raised his eyes to look at Chen Nian and asked, "Big Master, what were you thinking when you rescued General Zheng from Brother Lu's knife that day?" β
"What can you think of? At the beginning, I wanted to see Zheng Lun's jokes, but later, I thought about saving Zheng Lun back quickly, and I must not let him be chopped by Lu Xiao. Chen Nian was slightly distracted, and the smile on the corner of his lips was fleeting, as if he had never been there.
Actually, she was not afraid that Lu Xiao would come with troops, because her martial arts were better than him and she could capture him alive. What she was afraid of was not Lu Xiao, but her father-in-law, not Mu Zhanyue in Qingfeng Village, but Su Guyue, the left general of the Xian family.
The scouts watching on the hillside had already made a gesture, Chen Nian closed his eyes, opened them again, and shouted in a deep voice: "Go!" β
