Jin Kingdom, Stone City.

Yu Liang, the general of Zhengxi, was discussing with Tao Cheng, Chen Huan, Yu Yi and other generals in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yu Liang sent another urgent report from the Yicheng side just now, and said worriedly: "Everyone, now Zhao Zhao is attacking my Jin Kingdom, and it is menacing. Yuzhou Thorn Shi Mao Bao has sent me three urgent reports for help in a row these days! It's sent almost every two days. Now tens of thousands of Zhao troops are stationed in Xincai, will they send troops to rescue Yicheng? ”

When the generals heard this, they all looked at each other and thought about it for a while. In the end, Nan Zhonglang, who has always been resourceful, stood up and lowered his hand and said: "General, the Zhao army that attacked Yangzhou and Yuzhou in Nanan, Baishi, and Yicheng claims to have 100,000 people, but it may not be true. In my opinion, Qian Zhao is not fully prepared for the southern expedition, so with these 50,000 or 60,000 troops, it is not enough to enter my Jin Kingdom! ”

"This old man knows." Yu Liang frowned and said, "However, what I'm worried about now is that the geographical location of Yicheng is very dangerous. Yicheng is a battleground for soldiers, with Yicheng as a springboard, my Jin army can do the Northern Expedition, and Zhao Zhao with Yicheng as a pedal, can also better conquer my Jin country in the south! ”

"If the city falls, it will be difficult to protect the north of Henan, and the northern part of Yangzhou will also suffer! However, the old man still doesn't know what Zhao Ren's intentions are. ”

"Please don't worry, General." Chen Huan, who was at the head of the bottom, stood up and said, "In the area of Cannan and Baishi, there are also 30,000 soldiers and horses of my Jin Kingdom, not to mention the 10,000 elite soldiers of Mao Bao and Fan Jun stationed in Yicheng!" The city is impregnable! Now that the Zhao army has just come to attack, we are impatient to dispatch troops, and I am afraid that our efforts will be in vain. ”

"In the opinion of the last general, this time Zhao should still come to our Jin Kingdom to fight the autumn wind."

Hearing this, Yu Liang finally nodded and said, "Not bad." The city is strong, and it can't fall for a while! Our army will be stationed in Shicheng for the time being, waiting to see what happens! ”

……

On a field south of the water.

General Shi Min and his 10,000 soldiers and horses are slowly advancing forward.

Suddenly, a group of scouts flew in front of them. The colonel who led the team passed through the edge of the army's formation, and then came directly to the Chinese army's Daxu, knelt down on one knee towards Shi Min and said: "Report - general, the enemy army has been found thirty miles ahead!" Its strength is no less than 10,000! ”

"Under what banner?"

"General Cai!"

"Cai?" Shi Min was stunned for a moment.

It seems that history has not deviated much. If Shi Min expected it to be true, the leader of the Jin army should be Cai Huai, and the Jin army in front was sent to death!

"Li Xin!"

"The last general!" Li Xin hurriedly stood up.

Shi Min waved his hand and said, "There are three thousand cavalry in my department, and now they are all under your command!" You attack immediately, don't try to defeat it, just deal with it! ”

"No!" Li Xin took the order and left, then ordered three thousand cavalry, and then went all the way.

"The whole army is moving faster!"

At the same time, the Jin army of more than 10,000 people on the edge of the water stopped moving.

The uniforms and banners of the Jin soldiers are gray and white, and they are Jinde because of the Jin Chengwei.

During the Warring States Period, the theory of the Yin-Yang family was very prosperous, and the colors of the flags and the main colors of the clothing of the major Warring States were very particular and well-founded. The basis for the emphasis is the country's natural virtues.

The Yin-Yang family believes that any dynasty and state has a virtue endowed by God, which is represented by the five elements, that is, the five virtues of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The Yellow Emperor's regime is Tude, so he advocates yellow, and his banners and costumes are all Tuhuang. The Xia Dynasty was Mude and admired cyan. The Yin Shang Dynasty was Jinde, and its rise had the auspicious sign of silver overflowing the mountain, which was to advocate white. The Zhou Dynasty was a fire virtue, and the ancestors got the red black charm, so they naturally admired red.

At that time, the world recognized this cycle of five virtues, and at the beginning of the establishment of the country, he had already determined his own virtue!

However, by the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the five elements, that is, the natural virtue and destiny of various countries, became more and more chaotic.

However, the ancient five elements were changed randomly, and there was no fixed statement.

For example, the Han Dynasty generally believed that it was a fire virtue, but in the early Han Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty was changed to the water virtue, the Han Wu Emperor changed the soil virtue, and the Han Guangwu Emperor changed the fire virtue, and since then it is a fixed number.

During the Three Kingdoms, Wei was Tude, Jin inherited Wei, and Jinde, and since then the five virtues have not been in chaos. But since then, the Northern and Southern Dynasties have been in chaos, Song Chengjin is Shuide, Qi is Mude, Liang is Huode, and Chen is Tude. The Northern Dynasty was too chaotic, but Emperor Wen of Sui concluded that the Sui Dynasty inherited the fire and the Tang Dynasty inherited the Tude, but crossed the Wei and Jin dynasties and directly inherited the Han, just like the Han Dynasty crossed the Qin and directly inherited the Zhou.

It is worth mentioning that the five elements of the country are not a question of whether they are restrained or not, but also a question of inheriting the orthodoxy of the previous dynasty.

For example, Tang Chengtude, not because of the earth overcomes fire, or the fire overcomes the earth. It's not this kind of relationship, but because of the strong Han, when he was the strongest, the five virtues belonged to the earth!

Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty restored the Han Dynasty, and he couldn't kill his own ancestors, right? Therefore, changing Tude to Huode, in fact, the Western Han Dynasty has never belonged to Huode, and the so-called Huode Yanhan is the Eastern Han Dynasty.

And the country of Zhao also has a set of natural virtues, which is for Mude, so its clothing and banners are all cyan. However, the system of Qianzhao is too chaotic, and the various armies are not subordinate to each other, so it is not directly under the emperor's army, but it is not necessarily that the battle clothes and banners are all cyan!

"General, the scouts ahead are here! Three thousand cavalry soldiers from the Zhao people are rushing towards us! ”

Hearing the general's report, Cai Huai, who was on the horse, was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Is the enemy only 3,000 people?" ”

"Probably not. There may be a large share of Zhao Jun behind him! ”

Hearing this, Cai Huai pondered for a moment, then squinted his eyes and said: "This is a plain, which is conducive to the enemy's cavalry galloping across the country, and it is not convenient for our army to fight!" The order goes down, and the whole army retreats! Return to Channan! ”

"No!"

With a wave of the commanding flag, the entire Jin army began to turn around and began to retreat to the south bank of the river.

But it was too late, and Cai Huai had no experience in fighting the Zhao army, so he didn't know how fast their cavalry was advancing.

When the Jin army began to retreat, but only half an hour later, Zhao general Li Xin had already taken 3,000 cavalry soldiers and detoured from afar to the front, outflanking the retreat of the Jin army!

It was only at this time that Cai Huai pinched a handful of sweat and said, "Why did the cavalry of the Zhao army suddenly appear here?" ”

No one answered his question, and the Zhao cavalry on the opposite side had already begun to form a huge phalanx, and less than two hundred steps away from the Jin army, there were some Zhao army rangers patrolling, eyeing each other.

A subordinate general forked his hand and said: "General, the Zhao army did not immediately attack our army, it must be just a forward force, and there must be a main force behind it rushing to this side!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Cai Huai's face immediately sank, and he immediately pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed at the cavalry formation of the Zhao army opposite, and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order!" Heavy armor foot soldier advances! Archers follow up! Kill me! ”

"Kill!"

With Cai Huai's order, the phalanx of the Jin army suddenly resounded with overwhelming shouts of killing.

Immediately afterward, countless heavily armored foot soldiers wearing heavy armor began to line up in several queues, and they moved closer to Zhao Jun's cavalry.

Before the archers of the Jin army reached the firing range, the Zhao general Li Xin waved his hand, and then the cavalry of the Zhao army scattered.

However, they were not fleeing, but surrounded the phalanx of the Jin army, looking for its weak points, and launched a hooligan-style attack.

"Whoosh! ……”

Zhao Jun's cavalry side, one after another, threw a rain of arrows.

It was all up to the cavalry to draw their bows and arrows on horseback, and then rushed towards the Jin soldiers on the opposite side in a chaotic manner. The cavalry of the Zhao army are all skilled in bows and horses, and without a certain amount of swordsmanship, they can't penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, so they can't be used as a cavalry.

"Ahhh ......" With the arrows fired by the Zhao army, the Jin army's array suddenly sounded one wail after another.

The soldiers were pierced through their armor by sharp arrows, embedded in their flesh, and for a moment they were bleeding profusely. Many of the horsemen on their horses lay in pools of blood, and the foot soldiers were in disarray.

But Zhao Jun did not take the opportunity to rush over.

If you rush to kill at this time, with the might of the Zhao army's iron cavalry, and on this kind of plain suitable for cavalry to gallop, you will definitely be able to defeat the Jin army with one blow!

But Zhao Jun didn't do that.

Because Shi Min is very clear, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred. When the enemy army has not completely broken and fled, if the iron cavalry rushes over, it will inevitably turn on their backs, and it will cost a great price to defeat the enemy army!

At this moment, Cai Huai couldn't help but be very angry when he saw his soldiers in a mess, and then ordered his cavalry to pursue him.

However, the Jin army had few cavalry, and its bow and horse were not as skilled as the ordinary Zhao army soldiers, so they were quickly defeated.

Once the Jin army's cavalry pursued, they were shot down by the Zhao army with arrow after arrow, and then wailed and fell in a pool of blood.

"Poof!"

The arrow pierced the horse's leg!

"Chirp—" The warhorse neighed.

Then the legs of the war horse fell to the ground, and the cavalry on the horse was also smashed to the ground, and there were not a few who were trampled to death by the war horse!
