Chapter 4: The Battle of Luoshui

In the eyes of most princes, the strength of the alliance of the four kingdoms of Guan, Yong, Shao and Song is not weak, and the three eunuchs have all followed the first king, which is a strong branch of the royal family, among which the strongest Guan Hou even has nearly 10,000 soldiers.

Their analysis was very correct, but Ji Zhao was hanging, and his luck points were drawn ten times in a row, and two yellow-level props were drawn, one of which was guaranteed, among which [Borrowing the East Wind] was very suitable for this upcoming conference battle.

[Huang Jie, borrowing the east wind (the east wind is not with Zhou Lang, the copper finch spring is deep and locks the two Qiao): You can borrow a strong wind at the specified time, at the designated place, and in the designated direction. 】

The so-called favorable time, place and people, the influence of celestial phenomena on the victory or defeat of ancient wars is too great.

The two armies did not give in to each other, and prepared for a field battle, 200,000 people held each other on the north bank of Luoshui, camped separately, which can be called boundless, which is why the two armies coincidentally chose Luoshui to fight a big battle, because other places could not even show so many troops and chariots.

Everyone knew that the great war was coming, so they prepared more intensively, Ji Zhao gathered the princes and soldiers, and took the stage to worship the heavens, "My king has been ordered by heaven to shepherd all the people, and we accept the gold, silver, grain and silk of the Son of Heaven to assist the Son of Heaven in governing the world."

The thief offended the king and tried to rebel against the mandate of heaven, and he would definitely be punished. If we don't do our best, will Heaven give up punishing us?

At that point, the result must be unacceptable to us.

Lone has been instructed by the heavens that the heavens will help our army with the wind, and this battle will be won! ”

The traitors also held a ritual to worship the heavens and carried out a pre-war mobilization.

With the sound of drums, the forward of the thief army slowly pressed forward, and the armor soldier in Ji Zhao's army held a shield to defend the guard, and he looked up at the sky from time to time to judge the hour.

When the difference between the two armies was only a few hundred steps, it was a clear sky, and it was dark in an instant, and suddenly a strong wind rose, blowing straight on the ground on the north side of Luoshui, and the force was so great that it even rolled up the broken trees, and some camps that were not firmly planted flew up directly, and the dust on the ground was needless to say, it could be called covering the sky and the sun, and the scene like the end of the world made everyone sluggish, and what was even more strange was that there was no wind on the south side of Luoshui!

Everyone in Ji Zhao's army realized that the heavens had really sent down a strong wind to help, and their morale was instantly raised to the extreme, and even the princes believed that it was really God's favor in the face of such a strange situation.

It's really such a storm that no one can do!

"The wind has arrived, drum cheers!"

Ji Zhao shouted, waved his sword and laughed: "Heaven has responded to Lone's request, and the armies will be able to exterminate the traitors in one battle if they ride the wind forward!" ”

This west wind blew from behind the king's army, straight to the face of the rebels, so strong wind under the sand and stones, it is difficult for the archers to open their eyes, even if they can shoot arrows, not to mention the head, the power is also greatly reduced, for the rebels are not hesitant to destroy the disaster!

During the battle, Guan Hou saw such a strange thing, and several people turned pale almost instantly, "How can this be?" Could it be that we are really rebelling against the destiny of heaven, so God wants to kill us? ”

Wu Geng held his sword and roared: "What is the destiny of heaven? Xuanniao gave Yin Shang 600 years of rivers and mountains, and Lone never heard his father say that Yin Shang's destiny ended, but as soon as King Wu arrived, he was instantly defeated. This is the exhaustion of manpower, not the loss of destiny, as long as we can win this battle, the destiny is ours! ”

Guan Hou's Shangqing also shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the two thieves of Qiluo will definitely take the opportunity to attack, our army will be defeated, and now the plan can only be formed to defend, and then make plans when the wind is small!" ”

"Your Majesty, you can't form a defensive formation, it's impossible to hold it at all, the top priority is for the elite guards to protect you and evacuate here first, and there are still people in the country who can reorganize their troops and fight again."

The traitors were in a panic, but the princes on Ji Zhao's side were full of voices, and even Taigongwang was a little excited: "Given by God, don't do it instead, there will be disaster, the archers throw, disrupt the formation, and prepare the chariot to charge the infantry on the opposite side." ”

The archers of the Wang army then moved forward and took advantage of the wind to directly bend their bows and shoot arrows, and the auxiliary soldiers even ignited a fire, and countless smoke and dust blew to the opposite side, which was not only the power of sand and stones, but also the feeling of burning, the fire borrowed the wind, and the smoke was billowing out, making people miserable.

Under such circumstances, where can the thief army still maintain a neat formation, and there is a look of panic on their faces, especially those slave soldiers and the Dongyi tribe, whose discipline is already extremely poor, and in this case, there are people who throw down their weapons and run away!

When Wu Geng saw it, his face instantly turned like earth, and he thought of the situation in the battle of Muye, the sharp armor soldiers of the Shang army did not even have a chance to fight with the Zhou army, and they were directly crushed by those slave soldiers.

The princes led their retainers to set up banners and rushed forward to kill, and the drums of King Ji Zhao's army became more and more intensive, and a round of arrows rained down continuously caused casualties, and this unilateral killing was too fatal to morale.

The Chinese army general Viscount Shan Yi led the team to the chariot where the thief was, he has the ability to listen to sounds, and with his strong memory, he can still find the thief even in such a dark and chaotic memory.

Originally a slave to the martial king herding horses, a single name Yi, born with divine power, brave and abnormal, able to resist the charge of fierce horses, Ji Zhao sealed him in a single place, and also gave him the title of viscount, he has long been holding back his strength to repay Ji Zhao's kindness.

Driven by the wind, the speed of the armor soldiers is too fast!

The thief and Wu Geng looked at the army that suddenly appeared in shock, the armored infantry and chariots rumbled through the battlefield, and the drum beat instantly sounded rapidly, this drum sound made the thief army even more frightened, and the lord was in danger!

But where is the enemy?

Looking around, I saw my own people falling to the ground, rounds of arrows raining down, shield-wielding armored soldiers approaching neatly, some of the people around me died, some ran away, the screams and shouts were endless, and the command system was partially paralyzed.

Shan Yi led the army to break through the defense line almost instantly, and the chariots that charged up were far beyond the infantry could resist, and the flesh and blood were directly run over, leaving a place of blood and water.

As the dense war drums continued to beat, the sound of the bull's horn sounded on the battlefield, and everyone killed in the direction from which the sound came, breaking the bronze Ge directly, slashing the sword on the armor, and finally jumping out of the gaps.

Shan Yi waved Ge with one hand, and he had already changed three in a short period of time, and no one was his one-in-one enemy.

The danger in front of him was in front of him, and the princes who came with the army immediately retreated with their retainers, and when he saw that a few people were leaving, he immediately accelerated his speed, he knew that Daxu was bulky and could not be taken away, and if he could not capture and kill the thief, he would cut off Daxu.

"Boom!"

The sound of Da Xuan landing was too loud, and the rebels who were already fleeing or resisting, when they saw Da Xuan fall to the ground, they could hardly raise the mind to resist, and in an instant, those battle formations that could still resist the impact of the slave soldiers collapsed and cracked.

Once the army was defeated, no one could retract it, and everyone fled to the east with their backs to the wind, and some even jumped directly into Luoshui in a vain attempt to swim across Luoshui to survive.

But in the battlefield, whether it was facing away from the enemy or entering the water, it was just a live target, the chariot of the royal army rumbled and ran over, and the chariot of the rebels also ran over their own people without hesitation, and the archers covered all the way. Facing the chariot, the rebels jumped towards Luoshui one after another, and the arrows were shot at their bodies, and the blood that flowed out almost dyed the river red.

The sky gradually cleared, Guan Hou and Wu Geng's chariots were extremely conspicuous, and they would die if they didn't drive, but they couldn't get rid of the pursuit while driving, and several people almost fell into despair, so they could only drive the chariot in vain, hoping to get out of Ji Zhao's sight.

"Boom!"

No one expected that one of Guan Hou's war horses would have an unstable foothold, and directly flew out with the entire chariot, Guan Hou was smashed to the ground heavily, and half of his head was concave on the spot.

Wu Geng and a few people looked at the same panting war horse in front of their chariot, their eyes were full of horror, Yong, Shao Erhou hurriedly stopped the chariot and prepared to surrender, running like this is the end of death, only Wu Geng did not give up, but everything was in vain, their war horse and Ji Zhao brought from Hojing were completely incomparable, and they were finally forced to stop and be bound.

This battle has been won, but there is no time to rest, the eastern region is densely populated, and there will be hard battles in the future, and if you can kill and wound one more, you will be one.

Ji Zhao stepped out of the chariot and dragged Wu Geng to a makeshift platform for a rather rudimentary ritual.

"Yin Shang lost the Mandate of Heaven, and Bang Zhou took his place. The first king destroyed the Shang, but did not let the sacrifice of the first king Tang be extinct, and the king gave you the old land of Yinxu and let you govern the old people of Yin Shang, what kind of grace is this? Thou hast openly rebelled and disobeyed the commands of Heaven, and it is because of your defeat that today I offer your head to Heaven as a warning to those who do not obey the Mandate of Heaven. ”

"Wow!"

Ji Zhao's announcement of the direct execution of Wu Geng surprised everyone, and they all thought that Wu Geng would be taken back to Hojing as a prisoner.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Ji Zhao raised his sword and dropped the head of Wu Geng, and shouted loudly: "This expedition is not a simple rebellion, but an eastward crusade, the army continues to the east, exterminate all the troubled countries and tribes, the Eastern Crusade is over, the Son of Heaven will once again divide the princes, give gold, silver, grain, and slaves!" ”

"Ten thousand years of the Son of Heaven!"

"Bang Zhou Wan Nian!"

……

Ji Zhao continued to the east, and a small group of envoys returned to the capital with the head of the rebels, Cheng Hou presided over a large-scale sacrifice ceremony, and the ministers who stayed in the capital did things more carefully, and the grain and grass needed by the army did not dare to delay at all.
