Chapter 15: Ji Wan's landslide, Ji Xi's imprisonment

It's a pity that will is not a substitute for reality!

Xiong Dun's personal strength has almost reached the pinnacle of human beings, and he can even capture tigers and leopards alive and wrestle with giant bears.

Where can such a huge force be blocked by ordinary soldiers, and his own guards in front of him can't rush over, Xiong suddenly took the lead and rushed directly like a bulldozer.

The guards guarded his flanks, and he himself held extremely thick spears in both hands, directly picking up the soldiers of the Zhou army!

Rushing left and right, no one is his enemy.

Even the soldier with the bronze helmet was dented by his helmet and died.

Such a brave and invincible combat power almost instantly broke through the already precarious front of the Zhou army.

"It's Xiong Dun, the king of Chu!" A soldier of the Zhou army shouted loudly, "He personally led the charge of the team!" ”

The elite of the Chu army broke through the gap along Xiong Dun and rushed inward frantically, and the entire formation was instantly crushed.

The generals of several other directions also discovered the situation here, and they wanted to increase the army but were entangled by the Chu army, and the army behind them could not get through at all.

According to Xiong Dun's arrangement, the Chu army drove the slave soldiers of the Zhou army to this side, and then handed them over to 3,000 bronze armor soldiers to disperse them, so that they could form a rout army and attack the formation of the Zhou army.

This move is very effective, the formation broken by Xiong Dun has affected the entire dispatch of the Zhou army, and the Zhou army that came to support is chaotic, and it can even be called undisciplined in the battle array.

Ji Wan did not arrange a general in the middle, and the disadvantages of Handhou, who is currently the only one with a little prestige, and do not know how to command the army, were completely exposed.

A Chu army drove the slave soldiers along the gap that Xiong Dun rushed out and began to contain the strength of the Zhou army, and the entire front of the Zhou army had to shrink.

Many soldiers of the Zhou Army suddenly found that the figure of the Chu Army appeared all around them!

Xiong Dun had already retreated with his personal guards, and they regained their strength slightly, so they followed Xiong Dun again and began to charge, this time the target was the Son of Heaven!

Ji Wan has not completely retreated to the Chinese army, how cumbersome the Son of Heaven is, seeing that the extremely brave Chu army is invincible under the leadership of the King of Chu, and now he is still going straight to the Son of Heaven.

"Defend the Son of Heaven!"

The soldiers of the entire Chinese army have been around the Son of Heaven, Xiong Dun in the chaos of the army, bent the bow and set up an arrow, an arrow shot at the banner above the Son of Heaven, without stopping, another arrow hit the shaft, the whole Daxu shook.

With such a brave performance, the morale of the Chu army was even higher, and in a short period of time, he actually suppressed the Zhou army, who was devastated.

"Son of God, you can't fight anymore! If Daxu falls, once the military order is completely blocked, it will be a defeat like a mountain! ”

The Son of Heaven Ji Wan was already speechless, and Hou Jihou was even more stupid, and the Marquis of Handan saw that these three people were unreliable, so he immediately said: "Uncle Yu, immediately let the Chinese army escort the Son of Heaven to retreat, cross the river first, and then Mingjin collects the troops, before the front and rear of the army, it is necessary to stabilize the offensive of the Chu army, and must not cause a rout!" ”

The timing of Mingjin's withdrawal is too critical, and in the current situation, a careless one will turn from a retreat to a rout.

At this time, the Son of Heaven must cross the river first, so that he can collect the defeated army in order to plan for the future.

Yu Bo received the order and immediately went to do it, Xiong Dun couldn't shoot Da Xu, so he always observed Ji Wan's movements, and knew that Ji Wan was going to run as soon as he saw the direction of their movement.

immediately shouted loudly: "Zhou Tianzi ran away, capture Zhou Tianzi alive!" ”

All the Chu troops on the battlefield shouted one after another: "Zhou Tianzi has run away, capture Zhou Tianzi alive!" ”

The Zhou army was shocked, especially the front army that was caught in the melee, and soon felt that the support had stopped, and there was no reserve to replace them, even if they were already elite and could withstand greater battle losses, it was only a matter of a moment.

As for the Son of Heaven's personal guards, the princes' personal guards, and some of the central and rear armies who were guarding Ji Wan and the princes, they just wanted to run by boat quickly.

Now the Zhou army can still insist on fighting, mainly because Daxu is still there, although they can no longer see the Son of Heaven's great chariot, but the generals of the various leading forces are still on the battlefield.

Xiong Dun's eyes were full of fierce light, and he no longer thought that he could directly shoot down Da Xu, but dispatched troops and horses to besiege the generals who commanded the front army.

On the battlefield, the danger of open swords and guns is very easy to dodge, but hidden arrows cannot be avoided at all, especially those shot by people like Xiong Dun.

With the arrow shot by Xiong Dun, Caibo, who commanded the battle, instantly inserted a feather arrow into his face, and fell to the ground with a face full of disbelief!

This is the highest-ranking nobleman who has died in battle so far, an earl, and one of the commanders of the six armies of the Son of Heaven.

Xiong Dun led his troops to rush forward and cut down the former army Daxu with a knife, and the rumbling sound attracted everyone's attention, and the soldiers of the Zhou army, who had already experienced many blows, could no longer hold on, and instantly broke up and rushed towards the Chinese army.

There were only three ferries on the banks of the Hanshui River, and the Zhou army naturally knew where to retreat when they landed on the shore.

Seeing this, Yu Bo could only arrange a part of the archers to cover the retreat of the army, although the front army of the Zhou army completely collapsed, but the Chinese army was also in danger under the impact of the front army, but it was still possible to disperse and cover.

Xiong Dun just drove the defeated army of the Zhou army, and mixed the slave soldiers into it, completely disrupting their formation, and engulfing everyone in it, while the Chu army formed a small team to chase and kill.

The most important thing to kill is the archers, who throw away their armor in the process of escaping, and in front of the arrows are fat sheep to be slaughtered.

"It's a pity that the terrain is not suitable for chariots to play, otherwise such a rout scene, if the chariots charge, there are few of them who can cross the river."

Saying that, Xiong Dun ordered left and right, and said in high spirits: "The Zhou army has been defeated, and now it will be like a lost dog, order the rear of our army, get on the boat from the ferry, and the remaining soldiers will follow the widow to chase and kill the Zhou army, and take advantage of this great victory to seize the land of the Five Kingdoms."

Thinking back then, the widow broke the coalition army organized by the princes of Zhennan several times, what a scene, but he didn't notice a move, and was set a trap, over the years, the widow was overwhelmed by these five countries, and now he can finally completely break the rope around the neck of my Chu country. ”

The ministers and doctors of the Chu State said with a smile: "The Zhou people are cowardly, they don't dare to fight with my Great Chu head-on, they can only use such insidious cunning, and now the king in front of him is still defeated." ”

Xiong Dun laughed and said: "Let's start, mobilize our people, tonight, the widow wants to get the country in hand, and then force Tang Sui, cut off the connection between the five countries, cut off the grain and grass on the land of the Zhou army, they can only flee to the land of Shenlu in panic, and our army will cover up all the way and rob the wealth of the countries." ”

"The king is wise!"

Xiong Don's strategy is always reasonable, but Ji Wan can always play with flowers and give him a big surprise.

If someone asked Xiongton before, what is a surprise?

He will definitely think about it, after all, he has too many things and too many things he wants.

But now, if someone asks him what a surprise is?

He will definitely say that the surprise is that in the process of chasing and killing Ji Wan, Ji Wan suddenly died.

It happened by coincidence.

In the atmosphere of successive defeats and the death of countless comrades, the resentment of the soldiers could not be suppressed completely, and they vented their dissatisfaction with the Son of Heaven to their sovereign.

The low-level officers in the army are basically all low-level nobles who are less than fifty miles away, although they do not enter the fifth rank, but they are numerous, which is the key to whether the army can control it.

These people were even more dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven, and their losses were too serious on this expedition, and even many people did not come back alive.

If you can't beat it, forget it, but in this situation, who can be willing to do it if it is not a crime of war?

So many low-ranking nobles expressed their dissatisfaction, so they made a proposal to the Son of Heaven, demanding that the two main culprits who led to the defeat of the army be killed and that the army's morale be appeased.

The Son of Heaven naturally would not agree, he has now become a frightened bird, and it is impossible to kill his cronies and ministers at this time.

Of course, this kind of answer could not silence them, so they chose to go straight to the action!

As marquises, of course, Marquis Ji had their own army, so a huge fire began without knowing who took the lead.

The rain of arrows and the noisy military camp were in chaos.

This chaotic fire stopped with the shouts of "The Son of Heaven is dead", and Ji Wan, Youhou, and Ji Hou all died under the arrows.

At this moment, everyone was directly dumbfounded.

How could the Son of Heaven die?

What's next?

This is the question in front of everyone, and the most important thing is that I don't even know how the Son of Heaven died, I only know that it should be those random arrows that hit the Son of Heaven.

At this time, Handhou and Yu Bo, who had been hiding for a long time, ran out, Handhou is the person with the highest title and status in the army, and his eyes swept over Ji Wan's body calmly, without even a trace of grief.

King Su once said that the king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard his ministers as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy.

The relationship between him and Ji Wan was completely over when Ji Wan pointed a sword at him and humiliated him that day.

Handhou knew that Ji Wan had died, and the army had no longer the will to fight, and Xiong Dun's army was still chasing behind, so that the Wang army was always in a state of exhaustion.

Now only by leaving behind all the things that are inconvenient to carry and traveling lightly can we bring people back as much as possible.

Now that Ji Wan is dead, the prince has not been crowned, so let Luohou return to Wangji, maybe he can still cast the myth of the second king of Su.

The coalition troops of Qi Yan stationed are still practicing every day.

Luo Su They received the news of Ji Wan's defeat, and also learned that Xiong Dun was chasing and killing along the way, they immediately announced the army of King Qin, with the Marquis of Qi as the general of King Qin, Song Gongshuang was responsible for managing the clerical grain and grass, and Luo Su was responsible for entering Luoyi to stabilize the situation, from Song to Zheng and Xu, and then turned south, and absolutely could not let the Chu army enter Luoyi.

Hearing that the Son of Heaven was in trouble, the princes were filled with righteous indignation and were willing to act as the vanguard, and on the way to the march, they received the news of the death of the Son of Heaven, and everyone became anxious.

And the news has been transmitted back to Luoyi, the beacon fire has been ignited, and the princes everywhere are raising troops to Qin Wang, as long as they can drag the Chu army in Yingdi and Kangdi, and wait until all the Qin Wang's army in the world arrives, Xiong Dun will definitely retreat directly, and he has no strength to dare to compete with the army of Qin Wang in the world.

……

The coalition forces of the eastern princes have been stationed in Yingkang and began to arrange defensive lines, along the mountains and rivers, blocking all the routes that the Chu army can advance.

Qi Hou is a veteran who has fought for many years, and Luo Su is still relieved of his military ability.

He himself came to Luoyi with a guard, and the general who defended the city saw that it was Luosu, as if he had seen the backbone of the main body, and directly opened the city gate.

This is the benefit of high prestige, and the critical moment is the expectation of the public, which can become a banner that gathers people's hearts.

Luo Su didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Go with Gu to see the prince!" ”

The group came directly to the outside of the palace, someone had already informed the prince, saying that Luohou was visiting, and the prince heard that his teacher was coming, and hurriedly ran out of the palace, crying: "Teacher! ”

Luo Su soothed: "Don't worry about the prince, Bang Zhou has the blessing of the mandate of heaven, light the beacon fire, the princes of the Quartet will inevitably come to help, and the society is as stable as mountains and rivers!"

Now the Marquis of Qi and the Duke of Song have led the army of King Qin to be stationed in the land of Yingkang in the south of Luoyi, and the Chu thief Xiong suddenly cannot enter Wangji, and when the army of King Qin arrives, he will be able to win in one fell swoop.

Now the key is that the crown prince needs to supervise the country, otherwise the princes of all countries will come to King Luoyi Qin in the future, who will preside over the overall situation? ”

In fact, the most correct thing to do now is to directly announce Ji Xi's accession to the throne, but he can't do this, many princes have not yet arrived, he is now standing alone, that is to roast himself on the fire, and he is Luohou, one of the most honorable princes in the entire state and Zhou, and he does not need to rely on the merits of the establishment to strengthen his country.

Fortunately, Ji Xi is different from Ji Yun at the beginning, Ji Yun was only eight years old at the beginning, and he couldn't sit in the world at all, Ji Xi was already fifteen years old, after years of education, in Luo Su's opinion, he was not a little stronger than his father, and he could be called a dog father and tiger son.

Normally, the crown prince and the country are ordered by the Son of Heaven, but now it is impossible for Luo Su to chase down Yin Si to let Ji Wan make an order, fortunately, King Su formulated a fairly complete set of etiquette regulations for the Zhou Dynasty.

For such a major matter as the succession to the throne, it is natural to write a big book, and solutions can be found in various situations.

Luo Su found the current situation from this, and soon completed the ceremony of supervising the country under the witness of the nobles and the army of Luoyi.

As the only important minister in Luoyi at present, Luo Su took over the power and then began to arrange the work.

First of all, the most important thing is to count the number of property, food, weapons, armor, and horses in the treasury of Luoyi Mansion, and when the army of King Qin arrives, these materials are the most important things.

Secondly, it is necessary to re-transfer those nobles who did not go out from the vassals directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, this time the losses must be extremely heavy, I don't know how many troops can escape back, and it is necessary to restore Wang Ji's military strength to a certain level before the triumph of King Qin's army.

The Xia and Shang capitals lasted for 600 years, and the Bang Zhou suffered such a serious disaster less than 100 years after its establishment, how to maintain the world in the future?

……

Xia Zhiji, Shang Zhixuan, Zhou Zhili, except for the Son of Heaven, is called a single husband.

The three are evil in the world, and there are many thieves, so the natural disaster will destroy it for all generations, and it will be a lesson for you. - "Historical Records: Zhou Benji"
