Chapter 867: The Mountains and Rivers Are Exhausted (Medium)
Looking straight out of the arrow tower in the camp, you can see the battlefield in a radius of more than ten miles in front of you.
In the past, whenever a drum and trumpet sounded from the north, it meant that a new round of war was about to begin, and at least thousands of Liangzhou troops would be arrayed and surging over.
But today, when Chen Qingyun climbed high and looked into the distance, he saw that only a few two or three hundred horsemen were slowly approaching, and although the enemy battalion in the rear was lined up with soldiers and horses and the flags were fluttering, there was only the sound of drums and trumpets, but no other horses were dispatched.
What kind of idea did they have in mind, did they think that with only a few hundred cavalry, they could storm the Vietnamese army camp and scare tens of thousands of troops?
With doubts in his heart, Chen Qingyun's response was also simple, and he immediately shouted: "Open the camp gate, the forward battalion will step forward, and prepare to block the enemy!" ”
No matter what medicine is sold in the other party's gourd, there is nothing wrong with preparing for a war.
As a result, drums and trumpets were also raised in the Vietnamese barracks, and as the camp gate was opened, 5,000 elite pioneers rumbled out under the leadership of several generals, and pressed forward steadily to meet the enemy.
Once the Liangzhou army crosses the default battlefield center line of the two sides, no matter how many people they come, 5,000 soldiers and horses will immediately attack and annihilate them all!
Just as Chen Qingyun was staring at the movement ahead and watching his vanguard army continue to approach the enemy's position, the cavalry suddenly stopped in front of the small river ditch that was the middle line, and then several more people came out of the queue and shouted something in unison.
It's just that because the distance is still far away, and the north wind is tight today, when the sound really reaches the camp, it has long been blurred, so that everyone does not know what they are talking about.
However, the vanguard army in front understood it, so they did not rush to attack the enemy army not far away, but quickly sent people back to the camp and passed the other party's words to General Chen.
"General, the commander of the Liangzhou Army wants to talk to you face to face!"
These words made Chen Qingyun's brows tighten even more, what is the purpose of the enemy army?
In fact, according to the long-standing rules of warfare, the commanders of the opposing sides can meet before the war and make it clear.
When he first arrived here before, when the two armies confronted each other, he did have such a plan, and he also sent people over to test it. As a result, the other party refused, and then they tried each other to fight, and the first two days of hard battles.
Unexpectedly, after a few fights, the other party proposed to meet and talk, which is really a bit unreasonable, could it be that the other party has some conspiracy?
But then, he quickly denied this conjecture, and now that his own family is at a disadvantage, even if it is just to continue to pressure and attack, the Liangzhou army is enough to win, so why bother with it?
So I can meet with him, at least so that I can know who I lost......
After some consideration, Chen Qingyun still decided to accept the appointment, immediately went downstairs and got on the horse, ordered one hundred and ten guards, and quickly left the camp and went straight to the confrontation in front.
Soon, he came to the dry ditch, and was only a stone's throw away from the other side, and it seemed that as long as the cavalry rushed, he could be killed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, as the enemy's position was divided, a man with black armor and a slightly white beard, but still in good spirits and extraordinary bearing, had already come out.
Although there was a distance between them, as soon as this person came out, it still brought a lot of pressure to Chen Qingyun, making his hand holding the reins tight, and his eyes quickly narrowed: "You ......"
"General Chen is invited, this marshal Guo Yan, I haven't heard of your name before." Guo Yan looked quite relaxed, with a smile on his face, and raised his hand to arch as he spoke.
"It turned out to be Guo Shuai in person, it was really disrespectful." Chen Qingyun was calm, but his heart was tensed for a while, and at the same time, he was a little relieved.
Guo Yan, as the commander of the Liangzhou Army, was already a well-known figure in the Dayue official army as early as ten or twenty years ago, and he could be on an equal footing with the border generals and marshals who once guarded northern Xinjiang.
After the fall of Northern Xinjiang and the turmoil in the Central Plains, Guo Yan and Guo Dashuai became the leading military users in the Central Plains.
No matter how confident he is, he also knows that when it comes to fighting with soldiers, he is by no means Guo Dashuai's opponent.
Of course, in this way, it makes sense, I suffered losses in the previous two battles, it turned out that it was Guo Yan, who was scheming and well-led.
Just like seeing through his mind at a glance, Guo Yan immediately smiled again: "General Chen is worthy of being a rising star in the army, and he is really in command, if it weren't for the commander to suppress the formation, I am afraid that in this battle, our army may not be able to take advantage of anything." So you should feel honored, being defeated at the hands of this commander is enough for you to give an explanation to your soldiers. ”
Chen Qingyun snorted, and also felt his weak mentality, and immediately said: "It's just a slight defeat, and it doesn't hurt my army at all, Guo Shuai is too exaggerated to say this." ”
Guo Yan just smiled faintly, without the intention of arguing with him, and quickly changed the topic: "Do you know why Ben Shuai wants to meet you like this today?" ”
"You can't use your fame to intimidate me, right? If this is the case, this general advises you to still save your tongue, you and other rebels are a great trouble for the imperial court, and I am deeply trusted and graced by Your Majesty, and I will be inseparable from you. In today's battle, our army will never retreat half a step, let alone anything else. ”
"Hahaha...... Young man, don't be too absolute! Guo Yan laughed loudly, and once again firmly suppressed the other party.
His eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he quickly swept over the hundreds of pro-troops behind Chen Qingyun: "Do you really think that you still have a chance to win, can you still prevent my heavenly soldiers from taking Xiangyang and capturing the entire Huguang?" ”
"What heavenly soldiers, you are rebels!" Chen Qingyun did not argue with them on whether they could or could not, but first discussed their respective identities and positions.
This point is exactly in the hands of the other party, and he immediately refuted: "You are wrong, the current Jiangnan court is just a puppet dynasty, and my Liangzhou court is the orthodoxy of Dayue." ”
"It's just nonsense......"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, Emperor Baoqing lost his morality and lost the country, causing turmoil in the Central Plains and chaos in the world. Can such a faint monarch still be called the emperor and the son of heaven by the people of the world?
"Moreover, now that he, the emperor, has been out of Jiangnan for many days, he may have died in a corner of the north, at the hands of the rebels in Pingtian. You have been hiding the truth until today, but what is your intention? ”
One sentence made Chen Qingyun's face change greatly, and his heart was even more nervous, as an important minister of the court and a major general in the army, he naturally knew the inside story. But the soldiers behind him, as well as the tens of thousands of troops in the battalion, didn't know about it.
At this time, he didn't have to look back, he could guess that these guards who had followed him for many years must have been shocked, showing doubts and panic.
Some people died, but not completely......
