The morale of the Zhou army exploded, and the mountains roared and the tsunami roared.
Chai Rong had a sad and angry expression on his face, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Ning Hao, you are not stupid, you know what you should do. Since you want to die, and you die in an upright manner, I will grant it to you.
But do you think you can save your family this way? Huh! Will I keep only those who are dangerous to me, Da Zhou?
If one damn person dies, the morale of my Zhou army will be as high as a rainbow.
Chai Rong felt proud. Although the defeat in the battle just now made him a little insane, he quickly calmed down. He immediately began to think about how to improve the already flagging morale of the Zhou army. Just then, Ning Hao jumped into his
In my eyes, this man was originally brought to the army to be executed. Since he could not escape death, why not take advantage of him?
Nowadays, the entire Zhou army is enveloped in an atmosphere of grief and indignation, and the sad soldiers must win. Chai Rong knows this truth very well.
"General Han Geng of the Zuo Wuwei led the Zuo Wuwei to attack the right wing of the Han army and entangled the Han army Cheng Yihou's troops!"
Chai Rong sat on the driver's seat and began to issue orders.
"The final general honors your order!"
Han Geng, the general of Zuowuwei, was fifty-four years old. He was good at using a big tree and had courage that no man could match. He was also an old minister of the Later Han Dynasty. He once led an army to fight against Zhou Taizu Guo Wei, and severely damaged the Zhou army in a battle outside Bianzhou City.
He has always been known for his bravery and strength when leading troops in battles. After surrendering to the Zhou Dynasty, he was appreciated by Guo Wei and granted the title of General Zuowuwei, with the rank of third rank.
Although he is only less than 1.7 meters tall, Han Geng is very strong. The big horse in his hand is very heavy, and it only takes two ordinary soldiers to lift it. The horse is also much thicker than the average horse horse, and the blade alone is
The blade is five feet long. And Han Geng is still an out-and-out infantry general, not good at horse fighting. The more than 30,000 Zuowu guards under his command are mainly infantry, and the fine infantry are invincible under his leadership.
.
In agreement, Han Geng took the order flag and led Zuowuwei's 30,000 troops to attack the Han army's position in Cheng Yihou's southwest camp.
"Zuo Xiaowei General Zhao Tianlai led five thousand cavalry and attacked the left wing of Liu Ling's center army."
"The final general honors your order!"
Zhao Tianlai is about forty years old, with a height of 1.9 meters, and a figure like a black iron tower. Contrary to Han Geng, Zhao Tianlai highly respects cavalry combat. Half of his 30,000 troops in Zuo Xiaowei are cavalry. And they are mainly light cavalry.
For the main purpose, he likes to charge with cavalry groups and is a brave general who leads the way.
Leading 5,000 cavalry to attack the left flank of Liu Ling's center army was not the main attack, so Zhao Tianlai felt a little depressed. What he wanted more of was an order to lead 15,000 cavalry to charge directly at Liu Ling's center army, preferably to kill Liu Ling in one battle.
However, His Majesty the Emperor had an order, and he could only obey it. But in his heart, he had already made up his mind. Five thousand cavalry would attack the left wing, and after the Han army was in chaos, he would immediately launch an army to attack Liu Ling's middle army. This great achievement must not be left to others.
in the hand.
Liu Ling is the soul of the Han army. As long as he is killed, the Han army will no longer have the courage to fight. The third-grade General Zuo Xiaowei is already the ultimate military general. For so long, except for Luo Xu, who was appreciated by the late emperor
, no one can go further. As long as Liu Ling is killed, Zhao Tianlai firmly believes that with such great achievements, it is not impossible to replace him with a second-grade general, or even a second-grade general of the auxiliary country.
"General Liu Ji of the Right Armed Guard, your army of the Right Armed Guard will be divided into two groups, and 10,000 people will attack the right wing of Liu Ling's middle army. You lead your army directly towards Liu Ling's middle army. I hope you will kill Liu Ling in one fell swoop and avenge Master Ning!
"
Chai Rong gritted his teeth and said.
Liu Ji was very proud that His Majesty had given him the greatest credit. He thought the same as Zhao Tianlai. As long as he killed Liu Ling, he would naturally take the greatest credit.
"The general will definitely live up to His Majesty's respect!"
Holding his fists, Liu Ji took the command flag and returned to the Youwu Guards' horse to dispatch.
Finally, Chai Rong picked up an order flag and glanced at Luo Xu.
"General Luo, the important task of killing Liu Ling belongs to the general. The right-wing guards and horses attack Liu Ling's middle army. With Liu Ling's troops, Liu Ji may not be able to break through his middle army. The general's 10,000 tiger and sharp cavalry
, it is very important. When the Youwu Guards and Liu Ling’s army are fighting fiercely, the general can lead the tiger and sharp cavalry to attack from behind and attack Huanglong directly!"
Chai Rong's killer move is here.
Luo Xu was a little distracted. He waited for Chai Rong's order for a while before he quickly took the flag and said with a military salute: "Your Majesty, General!"
Chai Rong had no intention of caring about his somewhat rude behavior. Now that the war was about to begin, Luo Xu's ten thousand tigers and benmen were the basis for his reliance. With the Youwu Guard's men and horses feinting to attack, ten thousand tigers and benign cavalry were used to cover up and kill Liu Ling's men.
With only 30,000 men and horses, they could not stop the elite tiger and horse cavalry from charging forward.
Luo Xu's loss of consciousness was because of Ning Hao.
Others can't see Chai Rong's thoughts, but he can see it clearly. It's not that he is smarter than others, but that Ning Hao is his friend. In the official circles of Da Zhou, Ning Hao is still known as
The person who deserves to be a friend is Luo Xu, who would have never interacted with him originally.
One was the pinnacle of military generals and an important minister who was highly appreciated by Zhou Taizu Guo Wei. The other was a surrendered minister of the Later Han Dynasty. Both generations of monarchs had a grudge against him. Such two people were regarded as confidants by each other. Although their interactions were very close.
Secret. Ning Hao's death gave Luo Xu a huge impact.
He knew that Chai Rong had always wanted to attack Ning Hao, and for the sake of his friends, he had never been able to get too close to Ning Hao openly. He was a general of the Hu Ben Iron Cavalry, a second-grade Grand Protector, and the highest-ranking military general.
, holds real power. If he gets too close to Ning Hao, His Majesty will inevitably find a reason to kill Ning Hao, and befriending military generals with evil intentions is enough to kill people.
Luo Xu also knew that Ning Hao was determined to die when he joined the army this time. He just didn't expect that His Majesty would be so impatient and cruel. He would use someone who had never been rebellious or even quite talented to commit suicide to inspire him.
The soldiers' fighting spirit was murderous, and their methods could not but be said to be a bit vicious.
But what can he do?
He did not see Ning Hao jump to block Chai Rong's arrow, otherwise he would definitely find a way to escort his friend to escape. Following His Majesty for so long, he knew His Majesty far better than others.
Unfortunately, everything is too late.
After calming down, Luo Xu took a deep breath.
"Your Majesty, the men and horses of Youwuwei are fighting in a melee with the Han army. The tiger and horse cavalry charging into the formation will inevitably be blocked by our soldiers. If Liu Ling sends troops to mix with the Youwuwei, the general will..."
Luo Xu only said half of what he said. He needed Chai Rong to continue the rest.
"Accidental injuries are inevitable in battle formations. General Luo can only move his troops forward! Only when a general does not stick to small details can he achieve unparalleled achievements. I believe General Luo knows how to do it."
Chai Rong waved his hand casually and said.
Even though he knew the answer was this, Luo Xu still couldn't help but feel a little sad. The tiger and horse cavalry charged with all their strength, and those who stood in front, whether they were Han soldiers or his own brothers, would be trampled to pieces by the iron hoofs.
"The final general honors your order!"
Luo Xu took the command flag and turned back to his team of 10,000 tigers and warriors.
Liu Ling looked at the Zhou army that was about to move and the direction in which the soldiers of the Zhou army were mobilizing. He smiled slightly. He turned back to Huasaburo and Zhao Er and said, "You two will follow me to meet the emperor of Zhou. Do you have the courage?"
Hanasaburo and Zhao Er were stunned at the same time, and then they came to their senses.
"Your Majesty! Chai Rong is cunning and vicious, and you must not take personal risks!"
"Your Majesty, you can't go!"
Liu Ling waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. Chai Rong maintains his identity and won't do anything. Someone comes and carries Master Ning's body. Let's send Master Ning back!"
After saying that, Liu Ling jumped out of the horse with an intriguing smile on his lips.
Hanasanlang and Zhao Er were afraid that Liu Ling would be in danger, so they ordered a few soldiers to lift the bodies of Ning Hao and his two generals, and followed Liu Ling straight to the Zhou army's formation. The two men guarded them tightly.
Liu Ling's left and right, as long as the Zhou army's archers fired arrows, they would not hesitate to block Liu Ling's body, but whether doing so could save the prince's life from the Zhou army's thousands of arrows, the two of them felt that
There is no bottom.
More than a dozen Han soldiers carried the bodies of Ning Hao and the others and walked behind, looking at each other in confusion.
Far away, Liu Ling said loudly: "Liu Ling, the loyal king of the Han Dynasty, pays a visit to the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty!"
After saying that, Liu Ling urged his horse forward. After advancing more than twenty steps, Liu Ling shouted again: "Liu Ling, the loyal king of the Han Dynasty, pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and specially sends back the body of Master Ning!"
Hanasaburo and Zhao Er clenched their fists, and their clothes and armor were soaked with sweat. The more than ten Han soldiers walking behind had their legs weak. But they thought of fighting the prince even if they died.
After dying together, an inexplicable sense of heroism burst out from their bodies. The soldiers carried Ning Hao's body, deliberately raising their chests and lower jaws.
There was a commotion among the Zhou army when they saw that the commander of the Han army was actually coming in person. Some archers had already put arrows on their bows, and just waited for the order to shoot the guy to death. The cavalrymen drew their sabers, eager to charge.
In the past, Liu Ling and others were cut into pieces. Some people expressed admiration for Liu Ling's actions in their hearts, but no one could say it out loud.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was only about 150 steps, although it was difficult for the infantry's hard bow to penetrate the iron armor at this distance, it was still possible to kill Liu Ling, who was wearing ordinary clothes. Everyone turned their attention to the emperor's chariot and waited.
His Majesty's order. When Liu Ling and others were less than a hundred steps away from the Zhou army, some people could not help but want to shoot arrows.
"Don't shoot the arrow, I will see him!"
Chai Rong said with a cold expression.
The generals restrained their men and were not allowed to fire arrows. Chai Rong stepped down from the chariot, jumped onto a war horse with the support of his guards, and slowly came over under the protection of hundreds of guards. Twenty steps out of the formation, Chai Rong
Rong stopped. He sat upright on the horse, staring at the uniform, and Liu Ling came slowly with an indifferent expression.
About fifty steps away from Chai Rong, Liu Ling stopped and clasped his fists and bowed his head: "King Zhong of Han, Liu Ling, commander of the military and horse forces of the six states, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou."
Chai Rong changed his face to a smile, stretched out his hand and held it up in the air and said: "Prince Zhong, please excuse me. I have long wanted to meet with Prince Zhong, but the two armies are fighting and I don't have the opportunity."
Liu Ling said: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."
Liu Ling paused for a moment, then clasped his fists and said loudly: "Liu Ling came here to bring back Master Ning's body. The two armies were fighting, their swords had no eyes, and the horses were running wildly. It was inevitable that Master Ning's body would be destroyed. Master Ning's response to Master Ning
Zhou Zhong was very loyal and saw that Liu Ling was unable to surrender, so he wanted to assassinate Liu Ling on his horse in front of the battle. Liu Ling's bodyguards had to protect him. Although Lord Ning was rude to Liu Ling, Liu Ling admired Lord Ning for his loyalty to the emperor, patriotism and fearlessness.
The character of death, could not bear to see Lord Ning’s body destroyed in the war, so he escorted him home specially!”
Specially escort him home!
With these last few words, Liu Ling raised his voice even more, and the entire Zhou army camp suddenly became silent.
Chai Rong's face changed, and he couldn't help but feel extremely hateful. I knew he was here to disturb our military morale, but I couldn't order the arrow to be fired while he was carrying Ning Hao's body! Even the enemy's coach could escort Ning Hao without fear of death.
If he orders the arrows to be released, the emperor will be far inferior to him. Ning Hao! You can be used by me after you die, but you can also be used by Liu Ling. I hate you! (To be continued)
