Chapter 51: An Invitation to the Teacher
The howling south wind blew across the land of Beihai, and the army dressed in white armor spread out a formation outside Yuncheng, quietly waiting for the opponent to arrive.
The Xia Dynasty was still black, and the Chongcheng army of the descendants of Kun was good with black armor, and the Shang Dynasty was still white, and the Shang army was colored with white armor. In order to change the yellow Beihai robe, the army also spent a lot of effort, and Meng Wei, who was originally in black armor, also changed into a white robe and armor at this moment.
In the past three days, Bian Ji and Zou Wu have been talking with him every day, and these two people have a strategy.
Zou Wu talked to him about arranging troops and improving the matching between tactics and tactics, the slightly young Zou Wu was still relatively immature, but he could always help him deal with the marching formation and daily military affairs in an orderly manner, that is, the origin of the civilians was the same as that of Meng Wei at the beginning, and he could not participate in the "game between the nobles", and he could not suppress other noble officers in the eleven cities, and he still needed to be sharpened and grown.
Bian Ji impressed Meng Wei, this kid is usually inconspicuous, and he once showed a very lack of self-control in Dirt City, which once disappointed him.
But in the past three days, Bian Ji pointed at his nose and scolded, scolded him for his kindness as a woman, scolded him for not knowing the priorities, and for being scheming and making fewer decisions.
Fortunately, Meng Wei is not the kind of person with a good face, he can hear others criticize and correct him, as long as he is reasonable, he will gladly accept it, he is not like Chao Lei, jealous and jealous.
From Bian Ji's words, he gradually realized that he was indeed wrong three days ago.
The mistake is that you shouldn't tell everyone everything, which not only shows that you have no confidence, but also causes more trouble.
Just like some companies have a meeting, things that can be clearly ordered, but once the meeting is held, there will be a lot of problems, not here or there.
He is the main general, just give an order directly, even if a few people have objections, persuasion in private is that it is uncomfortable to put it on the table.
This is the first time that Meng Wei has commanded an army of 100,000 people, and the combat unit has eliminated the servant army, and it has reached as many as 80,000, even if there are middle-level officers from the eleven cities to cooperate, he will have a great time dispatching it.
The daily consumption of food and grass, the information reported by the reconnaissance cavalry, and even the wear and tear of the military camps when they were training on their own need to be reviewed by him personally, and the bamboo slips that are as many as cow's hair make his scalp numb, which finally understands why the old mansion of Chonghou and Taishi is in the camp tent.
The biggest advantage of young people is that they will only hurt if they fall, and they can learn a lesson and continue to move forward after getting up.
Bian Ji's words, Meng Wei listened to it, and he was also reflecting on the difference between being a soldier and being a general.
In the distance, the military momentum of Yuncheng was approaching, Meng Wei retracted his thoughts, and after thinking through some things, his thoughts were clear, and the momentum of the whole person began to gradually rise, provoking Zou Wu, who was stopped in the bow and crossbow army array, turned back frequently, as if sensing the change in the momentum of the general.
Most of the people in this era are very pedantic, and I invite you to come to a decisive battle, and you really come out of the city to fight me to the death? Wouldn't it be better to hold on to the city?
Meng Wei also has a deeper understanding of the honor of these soldiers, of course, understanding does not mean acceptance, it is a good thing for the enemy to be pedantic, and it will be very troublesome for his own people to be pedantic.
I have to find a way to deal with this matter when I look back, have a sense of honor, and don't fear death, it's okay. It is more important to obey military orders.
"General, Yuncheng Nan has given orders, and he has already presented his base, inviting the battle to the division." The commander came to report.
Meng Wei wanted to laugh, there were a lot of defeated soldiers under Qingyang Pass at that time, and it was impossible for Yuncheng not to know that there were three famous armors on his side, and he actually dared to look for him alone, he was quite confident.
"Go, give the order, and let the vanguard officer decide to go to war on his own."
"By the way, let Captain Zou also go over, it is strange that the Yuncheng man has a fearless appearance, Captain Zou has unparalleled archery skills, let him sweep the formation on the side, just in case."
"No!"
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and there is no big mistake in being careful.
However, after Wu Dare of the forward battalion received the order, he immediately took the warriors of the eleven cities to fight the horse and stepped forward, only to see a burly man in yellow armor riding in front of the Yuncheng army, holding a spear, beating the horse and standing in front of the two armies.
"The general has an order, the vanguard leads to the division, who dares to go to battle?"
"The last general, the Marquis of the Changyi Battalion, applied to fight."
Wu Dang nodded, although this Gao Ming is only a military marquis, he is a rare heroic soldier in the army, he is not very old, but he can fight back and forth with the senior armor soldiers in the battalion, he will not have any accidents when he goes to battle, so he agreed.
The young general came out of the battle, and in the first battle, the glaive sword in his hand was vigorous, and the yellow armor man was beheaded under the horse in four or five rounds, and the limelight was unrivaled for a while, and the eleventh city army was thunderous.
Immediately afterwards, the Yuncheng Army successively sent out two generals in the camp, both of whom could not make three moves in the hands of Gao Ming, and they were young heroes, high-spirited, and the day of fame was now.
"Yuncheng is one of the best military cities in my Beihai realm, why send these crooked melons and cracked dates to bring humiliation on themselves."
"Come, show me your true heroes."
Gao Ming pointed at the Yuncheng army and said arrogantly and provocatively.
The morale of the Yuncheng army was visibly low, and after a while, a young general who was also young and much stronger slapped his horse forward.
"I am Xu Li, a captain under the command of General Zuo of the Yuncheng Army, a yellow-mouthed child, and I dare to be presumptuous. Isn't your general known as the first warrior of Chongcheng? Just because you are not worthy of being my opponent, let your general Meng Wei come and die. ”
Gao Ming was furious, holding a big knife and killing the enemy generals viciously, General Meng was the god of war in their minds, a mere rebel lieutenant dared to be so rampant, calling his name and insulting the general, if he didn't kill this fang, he would have no shame to go to see the brothers in the camp.
Xu Li's kung fu is really not low, a spear is as fast as the wind, knives and guns collide, Gao Ming immediately felt an uncomfortable oppression, this person is not only fast, the angle is also very tricky, a little careless is an extra gun hole on the body.
When the two fought to the tenth round, Xu Li seemed to be in poor health, and he didn't sit down for a while and was almost thrown down by the yellow horse under the seat, revealing his flaws, and was beaten by Gao Ming was embarrassed.
Gao Ming was overjoyed and raised his knife to pursue, but unexpectedly, Xu Li suddenly bowed down and shot back with his backhand, stabbing straight to the heart.
Blood dripped from the tip of the gun, and the young man who had just become famous behind him had already fallen from his horse and died.
"Good! The general is mighty! The demoralized Yuncheng army suddenly cheered.
"General Wu, the last general, Zhongjia, the captain of the Lucheng battalion, applied to fight." The unconvinced vanguard army immediately surged, and everyone who boasted that their martial arts were higher than Gao Ming asked for their lives.
"Don't bother, I'm a pioneer officer, see if I go to meet him." Wu dared to ignore everyone and slapped out directly.
This guy has always liked to imitate his own general, Ren chivalrous and strong, happy when he hears the battle, Gao Ming rushed out of the battle before, he is not good to say anything, seeing that the opponent's martial arts are extraordinary, he has long been unable to hold back, and wants to meet this person.
When Yuan Futong rebelled and subdued the princes of the Seventy-two Routes, if it wasn't for the opposition to surrendering to the traitor Yuan thief with Wu Qi, Wu Dang had always been taken by Wu Qi as a cronie to protect him.
Wu Dare stepped forward with a big axe, and as soon as he engaged, a huge force pressed Xu Li to death, so that he didn't dare to touch the weapon at all, and only dared to toss and turn to avoid the edge of the big axe.
On being fast, Wu Dare is not as good as Xu Li, on Yong, ten Xu Li are not as fearless as Wu Dang, and he has a life-and-death style of play, which makes Xu Li miserable, and he doesn't dare to go all out with a quick gun.
I don't know if this guy's tomahawk fighting style is caused by his own recklessness, or if he is deliberately imitating someone.
Just when Xu Li was about to fight hard and repeat his trick, the battle axe in Wu Dang's hand suddenly increased his speed, and directly split the spear in the stunned Xu Li's hand into half, this guy is still hiding clumsy?
Xu Li was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect this reckless character to play tactics at all, if he hadn't had time to raise his gun to block it just now, his life would have been gone with an axe.
The weapon has been destroyed, and Xu Li, who originally thought that he could defeat the young man with his rich experience, no longer concealed it, and with a flash of green light in his hand, a palm-sized Qin Yuan came out of his hand, and the tail thorn stabbed at Wu Dang in a daze.
"Thieves dare." Wu Dang hurriedly retreated, slapped Fei Qinyuan horizontally with the axe, and fled when he turned around.
He is reckless, but not stupid, he is not afraid of one-on-one, but Qin Yuan under Xu Li's hand, he knows, that stinger, birds and beasts, birds and beasts are all dead, stinging trees, even the trees will wither and die, extremely vicious, that axe is to shoot it, but this evil animal is extremely flexible in the air, and there is Xu Li next to him, he doesn't want to be killed here.
How could Xu Li easily let him go back to the battle, the short spear in his hand was thrown, like a hidden weapon, straight into Wu Kang's heart, wanting to avenge the axe.
said that it was too late, and then quickly, a sharp arrow came, the arrow broke through the air and shot a short gun, followed by another arrow, Xu Li immediately reined in the horse, flashed the sharp arrow sideways, and lost the opportunity to pursue Wu Kang.
"Heh, what a No. 1 warrior in Chongcheng, his command is full of flies and dogs, and he dares to hurt people with secret arrows!"
"Phew! Shameless villain, it was you who took the initiative to teach the teacher, and now it is you who release the strange beast to sneak attack, and you still dare to beat a rake, are Yuncheng all such brazen people as you? ”
Zou Wu was furious, if it weren't for his sharp eyes just now, he decisively shot two arrows in a row, Wu Kang would have died.
Meng Wei was far away and didn't look very carefully, but he generally understood what was going on, sneered, and waved his hand to the commander.
"The general has an order, the vanguard front army is in formation, and the shield array is moved forward."
After conveying the order, Meng Wei whispered instructions to Bian Ji, and he didn't know what to say, so Bian Ji immediately took the order, went to the rear army, and quietly retreated with a few thousand people.
Wu Dare fled back to the army in embarrassment, and the scene just now frightened him, and almost became the unjust death of the enemy's subordinates, and as soon as he was relieved, he screamed angrily, threatening to kill the filthy villain.
Xu Li also had some regrets, originally this killing move was intended to be used on Zhao Bing, but he didn't expect that the vanguard officer was not him, but replaced by a yellow-mouthed child, just like that, he hadn't killed him yet, it's a pity, there are still capable people among the kings.
To the end of the teacher.
The two armies began to march, and as soon as Pu engaged, Yuncheng Nantian Chen sensed that something was wrong.
The opponent's arrows are like the waves of the sea, endless, but on his side, there is a volley of random arrows. The treatment that Deng Zhizhong's brother suffered that day also allowed him to enjoy it this time.
The ranks of Yuncheng archers were prostrate under the shield array, and they couldn't raise their heads when they were pressed by the opposite side, and they ate several rounds of arrow rain baptism before they could engage in battle, and the phalanx was chaotic.
Just as Zou Wu said before, our army is powerful, so why bother with intrigues.
Wu Dare silently calculated the distance between the enemy and the enemy, and after estimating the close contact distance, he immediately commanded the crossbowmen to strike at close range.
The light crossbow arrows flew in the shield array of the two sides, bringing great pressure to the shield array, fortunately, the bow and crossbow in this period was not as exaggerated as the Spring and Autumn Period and even the Qin period.
In embarrassment, as soon as the front row of shields and armor was engaged, a large number of shields fell in Yuncheng, and the entire formation began to be messy.
Meng Wei stared at the battlefield of the front army in front of him, touched the beard that did not exist on his chin, and looked solemnly at Tian Chen who was standing on top of the chariot in the distance.
Although Tian Chen was not a famous general, he was also a good hand at following Yuan Futong in the southern and northern wars in the early years, and his experience in commanding large-scale operations is unknown.
The Yuncheng front army is indeed much more elite than the vanguard front army temporarily formed in the eleventh city, and it has accumulated enough advantages in the early stage, but the gap is still gradually leveled under the melee of the army.
Wu Kang, who is usually arrogant, is indeed worthy of the word dare in his name, if it weren't for the vanguard officers taking the lead, with elite armor soldiers constantly killing the enemy troops who broke through the formation, the shield armor in the front row would have been a large-scale rout.
"General, General Zhao of the Left Route Army came to inquire, can the Left Route Army advance?"
"Tell your general that you can't attack without a military order, and let him wait."
The front army gradually struggled, the enemy's armor became more elite, and the tacit understanding between them was also closer, and Yuncheng deserved to be a well-known garrison town in Beihai for a long time.
Looking at the situation that gradually changed from advantage to balance and then to weakness, Meng Wei rubbed the mane of the red rabbit, and what was reflected in his pupils was a fierce battlefield.
The enemy infantry is the majority, and there are few chariots and cavalry, and there are more chariots and cavalry on their own side than on the opponent.
"Order Zhao Bing, the left route army, advance to the left side of the battlefield and stand by, if there is no military order, you must not touch the enemy."
Since Tian Chen is unwilling to take the lead, it is easy to do, let Zhao Bing, who is attacking rapidly, force you to fight.
