Chapter 5: Verbal War

Naturally, there are soldiers at the helm and sails on the dragon boat, but the waves of the Yellow River are rolling, the big river is flowing endlessly, and the flow of the river will also wash the boat downstream, and the actual route of the boat is diagonally downstream.

Qiao Kun inexplicably remembered the math problems in elementary school.

But neither King Wu nor Jiang Ziya cared, they just transported the soldiers to the other side, as for where they got to the other side, it didn't matter.

It's just that when the ship returns to port, it will be a little more troublesome.

Qiao Kun thought that there would be an earth-shattering surface battle, but no, Dashang did not arrange for the army to be on the water, not even a boat, nor did he arrange for the soldiers to dig the bottom of the boat underwater.

Jiang Ziya arranged for Yang Ren to use the pair of divine eyes that could penetrate heaven and earth to investigate, but it was also in vain.

I think it's a big businessman, King Wu Cheng, who is not good at water warfare.

He originally thought that there would be a battle to cross the river, the so-called "crossing the river is not successful, hit its upper stream", but this did not happen.

So much so that the Great Zhou side is lined up, and no one has come to attack yet.

Although it didn't happen, Jiang Ziya still arranged a series of response tactics, let most of the warships turn, and left twenty large ships, forty small boats to prepare, and even left a dragon boat.

Qiao Kun couldn't help but be puzzled, this King Wu Cheng didn't seem to have done anything, what was his idea? Is it because it is too difficult to defend the Great Zhou River?

After all, the banks on both sides of the Yellow River are too long, and they are all places where they can land, and King Wucheng doesn't know which one to choose in the Great Zhou. Nor would he be able to distribute his men evenly along the riverbank, as that would only distract his forces and make them tired.

The easiest way to do this is to send soldiers along the way to observe, and then assemble a large army to press in.

The Great Zhou brigade had just sorted out the formation and simply built some fortifications, and the army of the Great Merchants had already assembled.

Dense, layered, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 people from a distance, and this is only a hasty assembly, and it is estimated that there will be more in the future.

Fortunately, there is a good habit of waging war at this time, the first battle must be above board, and the commanders of both sides must look at each other from a distance, and the generals must inform each other of their names.

After this battle, it doesn't matter how you rob the camp and play tricks.

The troops of the Great Zhou River crossing operation have exceeded 100,000, and it is not a loss to deal with it at this time, but after all, it is difficult for the Great Zhou to replenish the reinforcements, and the next wave of reinforcements will not arrive until a day and a night at the earliest. It can't be compared with big business.

Jiang Ziya commanded the army, and the guards next to him danced in turn with colorful flags, and generals such as Nangong Shi, Wei Ben, Wu Ji, and Su Quanzhong acted according to the order and commanded their subordinates to act.

The soldiers took up a position, the chariots were in front, the shield soldiers were second, the pikemen were in the rear, there were archers in the rear, and there were some catapults and the like in the back, as well as twenty large ships and dozens of small boats on the Yellow River.

Qiao Kun watched from the side, but saw a semicircle vaguely on Da Zhou's side, but he couldn't see what the array was. He also had Jiang Ziya teach the formation before, but this formation was completely different from before, this seemed to be a circle formation, and it seemed to be a half-moon formation, and the formation troops were staggered, and it was a bit like a fish scale formation.

I think it is a new formation that Jiang Ziya has figured out over the years by integrating theory with practice, which is specially used for landing.

Dashang is a phalanx of rules, and after a while, a general stepped forward.

He looked more than sixty years old, riding a yellow and brown horse, dressed in bright black armor, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and looking very burly.

This general, Qiao Kun, recognized that it was Yin Rui. Since the battle in the Song Palace, Qiao Kun has not seen Yin Rui for more than 20 years. Now Yin Rui has also become an old man.

Yin Po stepped forward and said, "Is the Western Zhou Army ahead? Please answer the main player!" Although they were far apart, Yin was full of vigor and his voice was clear and audible.

It's just that Qiao Kun saw that he was no longer at his peak.

Although Yin Rui is a martial artist who has opened up the secret treasure of the Yuan Essence, and his flesh and blood are very strong, he is no match for time, and he inevitably ages and begins to decline. Just like Nangong Shi.

Qiao Kun asked Jiang Ziya secretly, "You want me to use some calling."

What does the rain do?"

The rain has an adverse effect on both armies, but they are the defenders and do not need to move, and the wind and rain will naturally have a greater impact on the big merchants, and the rain is to narrow the gap in combat power between the two sides.

This is not comparable to the opponent, then pull the enemy to the same level, so that they are forced to be backward compatible.

Jiang Ziya smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, this is near Chaoge, and it's best for Daoists not to use spells to deal with ordinary soldiers."

"Okay." Qiao Kun agreed, and did not urge the spell. However, he had sensed the primeval dragon's instinctive ability to control wind and rain, and although he hadn't activated the spell, he still felt that he could carry water vapor, just like breathing.

He just breathed, and there was a surge of wind and clouds, and dark clouds gathered. It's just that the power is not enough to cast a spell.

Jiang Ziya looked at the dark clouds gathering in the sky, couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Qiao Kun with inquiring eyes.

Knowing that it was not Qiao Kun urging the spell, Jiang Ziya's brows stretched slightly, commanded the Great Zhou army, and when the door flag opened, Wei Hu and Nezha came out left and right, standing on both sides; After the next few generals were separated, under the shadow of the door flag, Jiang Ziya rode four different appearances, holding the apricot yellow flag in his left hand, and beating the whip in his right hand, and said with a slight bow: "Old General Yin is here, what do you think?"

Although Jiang Ziya is not a martial arts legend, he has the immortal law in his body, and it is not difficult to spread the voice far away. Even more relaxed.

Yin Rui had great respect for Jiang Ziya, "Marshal Jiang! Please forgive the veteran for not being able to do it all."

Martial arts legend has a lifespan of 150 years, so it is younger than people of the same age.

Now Yin Rui looks like he is in his sixties, and his real age may be seventy years old, eighty years old or more, he can indeed be called a veteran, and the strength of martial arts legends is still there, but he is no longer at his peak.

Yin said in vain: "Don't marshal for a long time, I don't realize that it has been more than twenty years. I don't mean that the marshal, who is now the commander of the six divisions and the example of the princes, has a word of advice before the battle, but I don't know if the marshal is willing to accommodate it?"

Jiang Ziya hurriedly said: "The old general's words are wrong, I am just a country fisherman, and I am shy to sweep up the Eastern Crusade to become the generalissimo of Tang Tianbao, but the example of the princes is never daring to be the leader." Jiang Ziya is not one of the princes, how can he be an example of the princes?

Yin was speechless for a while, and Jiang Ziya said leisurely, "What does the old general have to teach you? But there are those who can hear, and all of them are as good as their lives. If it is not feasible, there is no need to say it, fortunately, the old general forgives it."

What the hell are you going to say quickly, if it's something nice, I'll listen to it, pick up some I want to hear, and as for those bad words, I don't want to hear it, don't you.

Yin Po didn't seem to expect Jiang Ziya's reaction, and he was speechless for a while, but he quickly sorted out his words and said, "The last general has heard that those who commit crimes without a monarch are all rebels; Those who rebel against the ministers will be ambushed, and the people of the world will be begged for it. Today, Marshal Jiang, you are the first to rebel, lead the princes of the world to rebel, trample on the living beings, invade the territory of the king, and the crime is unforgivable. It is inevitable that the name of usurpation will be inevitable in the history books, and it doesn't matter?"

Hearing this, Qiao Kun couldn't help but look at Yin Rui differently, Yin Rui still has this kind of eloquence? Although the logical chain is not sufficient, and the reasoning is also problematic, it is also very organized, and as a general, it is very rare.

Could it be that someone else can't ghostwrite? But if you want to convince Jiang Ziya, I'm afraid it may not be enough.

Jiang Ziya nodded and said: "The old general's words are not bad, when Cheng Tang committed a crime, he took Xia Yu's country, such a rebellious minister, even in the past hundreds of years, can not escape the name of usurpation, and it should be discussed by the people of the world." Now we are waiting to welcome back the descendants of the Great Xia Miao, the king of the East Mansion of the Xia Hou clan, and it is to set things right and return the business to Xia."

Saying that, Qiao Kun stepped forward very cooperatively, showed the token, and urged the "Golden Crow Burning Sky" exercise, "I am a descendant of the Great Xia Miao, and the Xia Hou clan is a Yunqu, such a chaotic minister and thief should be discussed by the whole world. Today's business is full of sins, and the destiny of heaven is dead. Fear God, and dare not be wrong."

This is Cheng Tang's "Tang Oath", Qiao Kun just changed "Xia" to "Shang".

Yin Rui couldn't help but retort, "Xia Wei is tyrannical and lustful."

Jiang Ziya smiled: "The old general's words are not bad! Today, Emperor Xin is unreasonable, sexually tyrannical, and his drunkenness and good reputation are abandoned by the world. Today, the princes are fighting together and there is no way, and they are killing this cruelty for the world and saving the people from fire and water."

Yin said in defeat: "What the marshal said is a biased word, how can it be a public word? I have heard that the monarch's father has been, and whoever is a courtier will be entrusted with a thorough reprimand, and finally lead his monarch and father to the throne."

Qiao Kun didn't say much, just looked at Yin Rui and smiled.

Jiang Wenhuan, the marquis of Dongbo, stepped forward and pointed at Yin Rui and scolded: "You are the minister of the state, you can't correct his monarch and make him in power, and now you have fallen into mourning, and you are not ashamed; Do you dare to puff out your lips and tongue in front of the battle? If you are a real dog, you will die innocently, and if you don't retreat quickly, you will not die!"

Qiao Kun said in his heart, why did Jiang Wenhuan say this? Direct personal attacks, some of which are indiscriminate, have deducted points from the coalition forces.

However, his words were very effective, and he was so angry that he scolded directly: "Your father conspired with the queen and conspired against the Son of Heaven, and it is appropriate to punish him. Thou shalt not refrain from cultivating virtue to cover thy father's sorrows; Rebelling against the crowd and rebelling wantonly, there is a kind of true rebellion. I am now a thief for you!"

After scolding, Yin Po urged the horse forward, and ordered the soldiers to attack.

"Kill!" Behind him were his own troops, all of which were cavalry, numbering in the thousands, and they were bursting up, with great momentum and a sense of thunder. Now the Great Shang has the advantage in military strength.

At this time, Qiao Kun was in the middle of the battle with Ji Fa, Ji Fa had also seen many big scenes, and he was not half nervous, he was very calm, but his face was a little bad.

This Qiao Kun can also understand, after all, Ji Fa worships Jiang Ziya as the marshal and hands over all military and political affairs to Jiang Ziya, but Jiang Wenhuan is not very respectful of Jiang Ziya, that is, he does not respect Ji Fa.

However, Dong Bohou's strength is indeed strong, second only to Da Zhou.

Jiang Wenhuan's personal strength is outstanding, and his troops are hundreds of thousands, although his generals are weaker, they can also command soldiers, and although they are slightly inferior to Da Zhou Shucai on the whole, they can play a decisive role in the war.

The combined strength of the two families is enough to withstand the remaining eight hundred princes, if Jiang Wenhuan is hindered, it will be very troublesome, and it is not a wise move to fall out with Jiang Wenhuan at this time.

Strictly speaking, in addition to allies and self-proclaimed martial kings, Ji Fa and Jiang Wenhuan are basically the same status, and it is inevitable that Jiang Wenhuan will be rebellious.

Fight.

After a while, Jiang Ziya gave an order, and the archers fired thousands of arrows, but after Yin was broken, the soldiers and soldiers were all skilled in martial arts, and the bows and horses were skilled, and only a few people were shot off their horses.

Soon thousands of cavalry were in a conical shape, rushing over, the cavalry charge was mostly a cone formation or a front lost formation, the front will open the way, and the rear soldiers followed, which is the most suitable for breaking through. However, the specific choice of formation, it depends on the preference of the general, the two wings of the cone formation are strong and powerful, which is a sharp weapon to tear apart the enemy's formation, and the defense is also stronger than the front loss formation.

Yin is a general, and there are martial arts legends to cultivate, take the lead, and there is no general under him.

However, the formation on the side of the Great Zhou soon changed and concave, and the half-moon round formation became a V-shaped formation, which was somewhat similar to the goose marching formation, with archers constantly outputting on both sides.

At the same time, this depression can be continuously unloaded, reducing the damage caused by cavalry. The vehicle in front of you can also act as a block.

It's just that this is easier said than done, but it is as difficult as commanding a soldier like an arm. Jiang Ziya also has many generals who have many years of cooperation experience, so they can barely do it.
