Chapter 141: The Decisive Battle of Shi Di

No matter how violently Shi Di jumped, he couldn't change the fact that Hangu Pass was lost, if it wasn't for his generals to stop him, the hemp ball would definitely be clicked off by Shi Di, but now he has also been demoted several levels in a row and has become a small team leader.

I have to say that Shi Hu is a guy, although he has all kinds of shortcomings, but his military talent is really good, look at the troops he left for Shi Di, all of them are the elite of the order. The 100,000 army surrounded Hangu Pass in an orderly manner, but Shi Di was the one who followed his father to fight for several years, he did not attack at the beginning, but patiently waited for the arrival of siege equipment, if there were no siege equipment, Hangu Pass and 70,000 troops were stationed in this kind of Xiongguan, and it was by no means that he could capture it if he wanted to, and for a time the battlefield on the Eastern Front was rarely calm.

Chu Yun didn't think about taking advantage of their unstable foothold to defeat the other party in one fell swoop, but Shi Dijun didn't know who was in command, so he didn't give Chu Yun a chance to fight steadily.

Half a month later, countless siege equipment were continuously transported by the people, and the two sides began the most tragic offensive and defensive battles. The confrontation between the two sides can be said to be the strongest two armies of this era, not to mention the Qiang army, although they are brutal and killed, but the combat effectiveness is obvious to all. And the Iron Blood Army is also recognized by the world as the top army, in the past, for the sake of the Iron Blood Army, more than half of the forces in the entire world attacked with all their strength to destroy the Iron Blood Army, which still makes people feel innocent.

Chu Yun handed over all the command to Ran Liang and Wang Jie to command, and he sat at the head of the city and continued to absorb fresh murderous energy, since he touched the threshold of the Heavenly Rank Martial Artist that day, he began to constantly recall and look for that feeling, after Chu Yun was betrayed and the Iron Blood Army was destroyed, Chu Yun paid more attention to his own strength, he was hungry for cultivation, and he didn't want to waste any time.

Just when the battlefield on the Eastern Front was in a stalemate, the Southern Battlefield also started almost at the same time, and 100,000 troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Dacheng Kingdom were killed from Hanzhong and fought with the Ming Army on the Southern Front commanded by Xie Ai. The Eastern Jin Dynasty is very concerned about Chu Yun, they are not stable internally, all wealthy families have their own small abacus, and peasant uprisings often break out, but even so, they all scraped together an army of 50,000, and the leader is their old acquaintance, Wen Qiao, who was imprisoned by Chu Yun back then.

After this kid was broken by the iron-blooded army, Dongjiang Province fled back to Jiangnan, and was soon reused, he quelled the rebellion of Wang Dun and Su Jun, and was named the hussar general, Kaifu Yitong and the three divisions, and the Jiasan cavalry permanent attendant, and the prince of Shi'an County. However, there has been a slight deviation in history, and this old boy did not die in the prime of life as in history because of the appearance of the Iron Army, but is still alive and kicking now.

However, there may be one less idiom in the history of culture, the legend Wen Qiao returned to Wuchang, passing through Niuzhu Rock, seeing that the water is unfathomable, and the legend is that there are many monsters in the water. Wen Qiao lit the horn of the rhinoceros to take care of it, and saw that the underwater lights were bright, and the water monsters were strangely shaped, some were riding in carriages, and some were wearing red clothes. That night, Wen Qiao dreamed of a person who said to him angrily: "I am different from you, and we don't disturb each other, why do you come to take care of us?" Not long after, Wen Qiao died. So he left the idiom of folding the rhino and shining Niu Zhu, but unfortunately Chu Yun, the big butterfly, fanned, Wen Qiao, who should have died four years ago, now led people to attack Chu Yun.

However, the 50,000 army of Dacheng is just like a joke, except for 10,000 of them, which are regular troops, the others are like forcible people, as long as they hear the sound of fighting, they run faster than rabbits, Wen Qiao's heart is like a dog. He knew the strength of the Iron Army, in order to avenge his old leader Liu Kun and the shame of being imprisoned, he was really ready to wrestle with Da Ming. In his heart, Liu Kun was forced to death by Chu Yun, but he didn't expect to meet such a pig teammate, and Wen Qiao's heart was cold.

The 100,000 army fought for two months, and was stunned that it did not break through Xie Ai's first line of defense, which Wen Qiao never imagined, but because they came to the territory of Dachengguo, the materials needed to be transported by Dachengguo, so Wen Qiao had no way to make trouble with them, otherwise the 50,000 army cobbled together by the Eastern Jin Dynasty would probably be explained here. Dacheng has extravagant hopes for its own territory of the Great Jin, which is well known, and it is better to trust each other than to believe that a dog spits out ivory from its mouth.

Wen Qiao could only control the army and Xie Ai's army on the one hand, and at the same time wrote a letter to Wang Dao, the powerful minister who controlled the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China, to explain the situation to him for help. But it's a pity that there are all kinds of medicine in the world, but I don't regret taking medicine, Wen Qiao feels that his reputation is likely to be ruined.

And on the western front of the Ming Kingdom, Qianliang Zhang Jun really wanted to firmly grasp this good opportunity, he wanted to break the position built by the Ming Dynasty at any cost, and enter the hinterland of Qinzhou, Lu Zhong's troops were not as good as Qianliang, so he could only defend passively, the two sides fought very hard, Lu Zhong followed Chu Yun's advice, exchanged territory for time, and defended every step, and the two sides were not able to divide the victory or defeat in this battle for a while.

Just when the third line of the Ming Dynasty was besieged, Shi Le secretly arrived in Bingzhou, and a man in a black robe followed closely behind Shi Le, and the two of them quickly entered the Taiyuan Palace.

In the summer of the second year of Shengwu, Chu Yun finally prepared to launch a counterattack after resisting Shi Di's three-plate axe, Shi Di's resilience was still good, three months of strong attack, although he suffered a lot of casualties, but Chu Yun's army did not get much cheap, Chu Yun suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and Shi Di's army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, basically a one-to-two casualty, it can be seen how good Shi Di's command is, and it is normal for the general siege battle casualties to be one to five or one to ten. The Shi Di army was very well prepared, and a large number of siege equipment really helped the Shi Di army a lot.

One of the most thrilling ones scared Wang Jie and Ran Liang, who were in charge of the command, a big jump. What everyone didn't expect was that the guy Ma Qiu actually left a secret passage in Hangu Pass, which was too secret, so that when a small force of the Shi Di Army suddenly appeared in the Hangu Pass, Chu Yunjun found out that thanks to Wang Jie and Ran Liang, both excellent generals who reacted quickly, the two of them took the lead in setting a trap without notifying Chu Yun, and wiped out dozens of divine power derivatives and more than 200 soldiers killed by Shi Jun, and their own casualties were only a few dozen. Chu Yun greatly appreciated the behavior of the two people, and this move basically made the mid-stage combat strength of the Shi Di army clear, which was also the main reason why Chu Yun was ready to make a move.

Just before Chu Yun was about to make a move, more than 100,000 troops suddenly poured out of Bingzhou, and they divided into two routes, all the way to Shangjun on the west side, and all the way to Yongzhou through Dao Si Lizhou, it seems that they are preparing to detour Tongguan and Hangu Pass to kill directly to the hinterland of Daming.

After Chu Yun got the news, not only did he not panic, but he was very calm. Chu Yun stood at Hangu Pass and looked north, not knowing which one was more powerful, You Ziyuan, who had not had time to display his talent in the previous life, or Shi Le, who did not belong to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

Chu Yun took the Iron Blood Tiger Army and the Zhendong Army to fight against Shi Di, while Xie Ai led the Right Army and the Zhennan Army in the Eighth Army of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Dachengguo, and Lu Zhong took the Zhenxi Army and the Left Army in the Eighth Army of the Ming Dynasty to fight against Qianliang, but the Ming Army and the Six Armies of the Eighth Army of the Ming Dynasty had a total of 180,000 people without a task, Chu Yun pretended to order them all to be stationed in Chang'an, and everyone felt that this move was simply a waste, but they didn't know that Chu Yun and Youzi had already arranged them on the front line of Bingzhou, and the commander was the veteran You Ziyuan, a veteran of both civil and military affairs.

How could Chu Yun waste these elite troops, Chu Yun guessed that Shi Le would never expect Shi Di and the others to defeat him, every time he moved, he hid in the shadows like a poisonous snake, and then launched a fatal blow. Although Chu Yun had not directly fought with Shi Le, Chu Yun knew his actions clearly.

For the first time, Shi Le sent Shi Hu to take advantage of his own fight with the Xiongnu Han State, and suddenly united with Liu Kun to break through Shangdang County, that time if it wasn't for the quick reaction of his subordinates, and Shi Le felt that it was more in his interests to make Liu Kun and Chu Yun's relationship worse, he would have withdrawn his army. To be honest, if Shi Hu didn't withdraw his troops that time, his iron-blooded army would definitely suffer heavy losses, and from that time Chu Yun deeply remembered Shi Le's style of acting.

The second time, Shi Le took advantage of the fact that he was plotted by the Divine Stone Alliance, and the main forces were concentrated in Beidi County and Anding County, he shot again, this time directly swept Shangdang County and Xihe County, and uprooted the nest carefully built by Chu Yun, if Chu Yun despised Shi Le again, then he would not be worthy of being the leader of one party.

This time it looked the same as the previous two times, or even more dangerous, Chu Yun didn't believe that Shi Le would not make a move, and sure enough, Shi Le shot again. This time, Shi Le will face the 50,000 troops of the Eighth Army of the Ming Dynasty led by You Ziyuan, plus 50,000 people of the Zhenbei Army, plus Liu Dog's Tiefu Army, adding up to no less than 300,000 people of the main army of the Ming Dynasty. This time, Chu Yun was going to let Shi Le drink a pot.

Chu Yun directly gave Shi Di a battle letter, agreeing that the two sides would fight a decisive battle in three days, and let Shi Di retreat three miles to facilitate the formation.

"Have the manpower been arranged?" Chu Yun asked at Ran Liang, Shi Di's 100,000 army was by no means a victory for Chu Yun by chopping melons and vegetables. There are no less than 30,000 Chinese (Qian) cavalry in the Shi Di army, and the combat effectiveness of these cavalry is even higher than Chu Yun's iron-blooded cavalry back then, and the current iron-blooded tiger army is still inferior to the iron-blooded cavalry of the past, so without some skill, Chu Yun will never win easily.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, although the road is steep, but the soldiers you picked out are all strong men with one enemy and ten, and Zhou Shilang's Supervision Department also fully cooperated, equipped them with two horses, and now they are hiding in the valley on the side of Hangu Pass, and when Your Majesty orders, I will definitely take them like sharp knives to directly slaughter this kid Shi Di. Ran Liang said confidently.

"Shi Di is not easy to kill, as long as you cut off Shi Di's general flag, it will be considered as a completion of the task, and then you quickly publicize behind Shi Di's army that Shi Di was killed, so that they will completely lose their fighting spirit, don't add to the snake. Whether you can win this time is mainly up to you, head-to-head duel, we are probably not their opponents, we must be steady and ruthless, don't talk about merit and mistakes, remember. Chu Yun repeatedly asked, and Ran Liang firmly remembered Chu Yun's words in his heart. Chu Yun estimated that there must be someone around Shi Di to protect him, it was likely that he was the controller of the Divine Stone, and even Shi Di himself was very likely, so Chu Yun must not let them take risks.

Moreover, Chu Yun felt that this battle was likely to lead to the people behind Shi Hu, and Chu Yun was convinced of this intuition, and Chu Yun even quickly promoted Wang Jie to General Wei for the normal command of the battle, ready to replace his command at any time. Wang Lian's family is really worthy of being a civil and military all-rounder, Wang Lian is one of the best civil officials under Chu Yun, and their family also has Wang Dao, a battlefield general, and now the third generation has Wang Jie. Under Chu Yun's special training, Wang Jie, who was only in his twenties, showed extraordinary combat talent, except for You Ziyuan and Xie Ai, Chu Yun's subordinates, even Lu Zhong and Ran Liang were not as capable of commanding as him, especially when he commanded a large army to fight, just like Han Xin's possession, he was really a first-class commander.

Three days passed in a flash, the gate of Hangu Pass slowly opened, and the 20,000 infantry under the Iron Blood Tiger Army slowly went out of the city, all of them were wearing heavy armor, and the knives in their hands were somewhat like the Mo knives of the Tang Dynasty, all of them were as high as two meters, and the sharp glow made people tremble. This is indeed Chu Yun's imitation of the Tang Dynasty Mo Dao Formation to create hoplites, like a wall to advance the Mo Dao Formation, which is definitely one of the most restrained cavalry infantry battle formations, how could Chu Yun, a pseudo-military fan, not equip his subordinates.

After the infantry of the 20,000 Tiger Ben Army went out of the city, 40,000 cavalry went out of the city like a dragon, this is the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army, Chu Yun established the Chu Gong personally guarding the Huns at that time, accounting for the majority, after Chu Yun changed the dynasty, Chu Yun absorbed a large number of Han people in Shangjun, and now the Han people in the iron-blooded Tiger Ben Guard account for more than half, although the loyalty has gone up, but the combat effectiveness has inevitably declined, which is why Chu Yun is not confident that he can defeat the Shi Di army head-on.

After all the cavalry went out, followed by more than 15,000 crossbowmen of the Zhendong Army, Chu Yun equipped them with a newly researched explosive rocket, which was actually added with black powder, which could make the arrows explode, and the lethality was not high, but it could emit violent fire and smoke, which could affect the cavalry's war horses and disrupt the opponent's formation. Although Chu Yun was a traverser, he didn't want him to make a gun, even if it was black powder, it took many years to make it. Those who can get guns when they travel to ancient times, Chu Yun can only say yes.

The cavalry protected the 15,000 crossbowmen and the Mo sword soldiers, and the Mo sword soldiers protected the crossbowmen in a square array, they did not set up obstacles such as rejecting horses in front of the formation, just to lure the opponent's cavalry to attack, Chu Yun was ready to use the Mo knife array to wear down the opponent's morale, and by the way, kill a large number of the opponent's living forces.

And Hangu Pass, Chu Yun sent Yang Ye to guard with 20,000 Zhendong Army, in case of defeat on the frontal battlefield, he could still deal with the defeated army, before the battle ended, even the soldiers and saints could not know the outcome of a battle, and there were too many factors that could determine the outcome of the battle.

When the 75,000 army of the Ming Dynasty was put on a good posture, Shi Di's 110,000 army all pressed up, and the number of cavalry in Shi Di's army reached an astonishing 70,000, which shows how much family money Shi Hu left for his son. This is also an important reason why Chu Yun feels that the Iron-Blooded Tiger Army is likely not to be an opponent, and the opponent has too many cavalry.

With the slow arrival of the more than 100,000 troops of the Shi Di army, the atmosphere on the battlefield was almost solidified, the Ming army was not moving, and the Shi Di army was also in order. Chu Yun's eyesight was extraordinary, and at a glance, he saw that a general wearing Mingguang armor of the Shi Di Army was guarded in the center, and the banner commanders were continuously sent out from his position, Chu Yun immediately knew that this person was the real controller of the Shi Di Army, but he didn't know who this person was.

And in Shi Di's army, the leader Shi Di is anxiously waiting for the news behind the army, he has indeed followed his father Shi Hu in many battles, but if he wants to command more than 100,000 people, he either looks down on him, or he himself knows that it is not that material. Therefore, at the suggestion of his confidants, Shi Di actually invited a veteran who was a generation older than his father Shi Hu - Zhixiong.

When Shile rose to prominence, there were eighteen horsemen under his command who made great achievements for Shile, most of whom died, but a few have survived to the present. Among them, Kui'an is the most valued by Shile, and Zhixiong thinks that his credit is not inferior to Kui'an, but he was abandoned by Shile, very angry, and Shile is such a smart person, seeing Zhixiong's unconvinced, he will not reuse Zhixiong, so Zhixiong's position in the Shile Dynasty is extremely embarrassing.

So he looked at Shi Hu, of course Shi Le was even more angry, as a fierce general who rose at the same time as Shi Le, he had nothing to do all day, so he completely fell to Shi Hu. But no one expected that Shi Hu would be captured by Chu Yunsheng, Zhixiong stayed like a pins and needles in Xiangguo, and it happened that Shi Di heard his news, so he borrowed him from Shi Le, and Zhixiong immediately went to Shi Di's army and was reused.

In history, Zhixiong was also after Shi Strangle's death, Shi Hu came to power before he began to exert his residual heat, he was later named the general of Longxiang, the Great Sikong, it is likely that Shi Hu rewarded him for betting in advance, but unfortunately at that time Shi Hu basically unified the north, except for the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south, Qiu Chi, Cheng Han, and the former Liang in the west and several Xianbei tribes in the northeast shrunk up, and there is no room for Zhixiong to play, a generation of generals is buried in history.

In fact, it can be seen that Shi Le used him very heavily in the early stage, and he was sent to participate in several battles, and he was victorious, but later Shi Le's more important and obedient Kui'an, Kong Chang and others, he was idle like Huyanmo, Taobao and others, which is likely to be related to their own personalities.

But anyway, Zhixiong is definitely the general of the unified army who can be ranked in the top five under Shi Le, he can see at a glance that the seemingly weakest infantry in the Ming army is a big trap, he is thinking about how to march, how to grasp this rare opportunity, let his Zhixiong go down through the ages, and let the blind big brother Shi Le take a good look, whether he can't do it or you have no vision, a big monk slowly came to the front of the two armies, and snatched all the light of Zhixiong.
