After King Zhou Yi decided to continue the attack, he pushed the battalion of the Western Sixth Division to the upper reaches of the Jing River for several hundred miles. As expected, about half a month later, the lynx really sent an envoy to the Zhou camp to write a war letter.

The rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty was based on the "Zhou Rites" as the core principle of governing the world, not only including the rites of concubines, sacrificial rites, etc., but even the war also had a set of etiquette system. At least one of the belligerents should issue a war letter to the other party, agree on the date of the battle, and the two sides should set up a position and attack each other, and there should be life and death. The one who engages in the war must accept the challenge of the other party, and if he does not dare to accept the war letter, he will be ridiculed by the world.

In the dimly lit tent, there was a three-foot-long wooden table in the center, and several felt mats were spread out on it, and Ji Xie knelt on the mat, staring at a roll of bamboo slips. Fan Ji walked to the side and asked softly, "Have you made a war book?" ”

Ji Xie handed her a piece of felt on the corners: "Oh, take a look for yourself!" ”

Fan Ji took the felt, glanced at it hurriedly and threw it aside: "The war book, it's just a war offer, there's nothing to see." But my lord, are you ready? ”

"Alas, speaking of which, this lynx is really a big trouble for my Great Zhou, they are too close to Liangjing, and the light cavalry only needs to gallop in a day or two to approach Feng Hao. They are like a sharp sword hanging over the head of Lone, so that Lone Day and Night will not be comfortable! Ji Xie patted the case hatefully, and suddenly seemed to think of something: "When I was a child, I heard my father say that when I became healthy, I had a harmonious relationship with my Great Zhou, although it was not a feudal country in the region, but it was also paid tribute on time. ”

Fanji was very surprised: "Oh? Is there such a thing? Why are the two countries at loggerheads? ”

"After King Zhao was defeated and died in the Han Dynasty, the prestige of my Zhou family plummeted. After King Xianmu succeeded to the throne, he wanted to re-establish the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty by attacking Rong Di, so he took the initiative to send troops to fight against the Lynx. Since then, Zhou has been fighting with the Lynx, and the world has been endless. Speaking of which, there are so many tribes in Xirong, but only the lynx has a chariot and is the most powerful, so it is not surprising that King Mu uses it as a bird. ”

Fanji quietly came out of his senses, then raised his head and said, "Isn't this a good thing? The raccoon can fight with the car, just in time for the rook to be equipped with copper spikes to come in handy. ”

Ji Xie nodded and shook the bamboo slip in his hand: "Zhao Zimu's book about the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Array', there are a few places that I can't understand, and the soldiers will be arranged tomorrow to drill the soldiers, which is really anxious!" ”

"Where don't you understand? The concubine may be able to relieve the king's worries! Fanji asked with a smile.

Ji Xie looked surprised: "You? Do you know formations? ”

"The last time Hu Er returned from the southern expedition, the concubine asked him carefully about the key to the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Array'. Both the king and Zhaogong like to complicate simple things, but Hu'er is a child and likes to simplify complex things. So as soon as he said it, the concubine understood. ”

Ji Xie was overjoyed: "Hu Er is smart and talented, and his future achievements will be above loneliness!" ”

Four black-clad and black-armored lynx cavalry appeared at the end of the horizon, the grass just green in early spring just reaching their knees. The leftmost wolf will hold a mace, the middle one will hold a crossbow, and the rightmost one will hold a military flag, which will be blown by the wind and a big wolf's head embroidered, which is the totem of the Rong people. Behind them was a vast procession of chariots, two hundred of them, each of which was followed by about twenty infantrymen in addition to the emperor and the right of the chariot. The chariot team was followed by a phalanx of cavalry, well-armed and skilled in cavalry and archery.

On the bank of the Jing River, the Zhou army's "Eight Gates Golden Lock Array" has been lined up and is ready to be battled. As usual, the two sides had to fight a dozen verbal battles before the battle. Today, Zhou Gongding undertook this glorious task, and he indignantly accused a gang of shameless acts of plundering the surrounding territory like a robber. King Rong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and replied in a loud voice:

"I live in a bitter cold place, and cattle and sheep will freeze to death when a heavy snowfall falls. If I don't wait to go south to loot in the spring, what will I eat? Do you sit back and wait to starve to death? Don't tell me anything about etiquette, righteousness and shame, that's the sour and toothy play that you Central Plains people pay attention to? With us, only the victors can call the wind and rain! ”

There's nothing to say, let's go to war! According to the rules, since it is a war book under the lynx, it is naturally up to them to break the formation first. The chariot was in front, covering the infantry and cavalry behind, and tens of thousands of people slaughtered the Zhou army's camp. According to King Rong's idea, it is necessary to break down the Zhou army's formation in one fell swoop with an unstoppable momentum, as long as the Zhou army's formation is chaotic, no matter how many people there are, it will not play any role, and it can only be slaughtered obediently.

There was a "whoosh" sound, and countless arrows shot out from the Zhou array, and there were countless arrows on the side of the lynx. King Rong gave an order: "Disperse!" ”

The chariot spread out in a fan-shaped shape to disperse the killing surface of the Zhou army's bow and crossbow. Although the men and horses that fell to the ground were immediately trampled into flesh by the iron hooves of their allies, they did not and could not stop. Now that the charge has begun, we can only break through the enemy line with all our might, otherwise everyone will have no way out.

Come on! The chariots were galloping, the cavalry was shouting------ but hundreds of chariots suddenly rushed out of the Zhou camp array, rushing towards the fierce soldiers and horses. Although King Rong was taken aback, his heart was settled, and he knew that since he was mixed with the enemy's chariots, it would be impossible for the Zhou army to shoot arrows anymore. But what's going on? Everywhere the chariots of the Zhou army went, all people turned over on their backs, and the legs of the horses cut off by Qi Shengsheng rolled around in the grass, and there were terrible screams on the grassland. If you look closely, all the chariots of the Zhou army have long pointed copper thorns sticking out of the wheels, and everywhere you go, there are miserable screams.

Those who were lucky enough to rush into the formation did not fall well. Those who tripped over a horse rope and were stabbed to death with a halberd in the chest, and those who were hacked to death with knives are countless.

King Zhou Yi stood on the chariot and saw everything on the battlefield in a real way. He waved the yellow flag in his hand, and the drummer began to beat the drum with all his might. As soon as the drum sounded, the Zhou army camp moved forward as a whole; The second drum sounded, and the Zhou army opened the gate and poured out; After the three-way drum, all the soldiers and horses, whether infantry, cavalry or chariots, were wrapped in "dumplings".

After a life-and-death fight, there are corpses all over the field, and the place is in a mess. The Zhou army won a great victory, and the king of Qiang Rong only had more than 200 cavalry soldiers left to escort him and fled north, and he didn't even have time to take it away. In this battle, King Zhou Yi drove his own expedition and won a complete victory.

I'm victorious! Ji Xie crossed the piles of corpses of the soldiers and horses, ran past the groups of prisoners who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and laughed and faced the endless Jing River: "Xiong Qu, Wang Zihui, my good uncle, do you see it?" The soldiers and horses were defeated by the Sixth Division of the Great Zhou West, and we are victorious! ”
