Zhao Ba led two thousand men and horses dejectedly to call for battle at the east gate of Jinzhou. He really didn't understand why other people's tasks were only to win but not to fail. How come when it came to his place, it was only to fail but not to win? But the prince ordered it.
It was a death order, telling him that if he won the battle, he would just come back and get a knife to behead him. Zhao Ba had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretend to be brave and high-spirited to be tortured.
He couldn't guess why the prince insisted on letting him lose the battle. Now was the time to besiege Jinzhou. What he needed was victory to boost morale. What was the benefit of defeating the battle by himself?
In fact, Liu Ling asked him to pick him up.
Now that Jinzhou is under siege, Yang Ye will definitely send people out of the city to contact him. Moreover, Liu Ling will also send people into the city. As for who he is sending, Zhao Ba does not know who he is sending. Naturally, he will not know.
Among the two thousand troops under his command who were destined to lose the battle, Liu Ling had already sent a confidant in. This person was a silver-clad shadow guard named Rushan. Rushan's mission was to take Liu Ling's
Order to contact Yang Ye, and then stay in the city to help Yang Ye solve some things that he may not be able to solve.
Now that Zhao Da is no longer in Jinzhou City, it is a joke that the shadow guards in the city are trapped in the city by his own people. So Liu Ling must send someone to contact the shadow guards in the city to provide help to Yang Ye. Liu Ling
Ling knew that although most of the city's defenders were under the control of Yang Ye, the generals of the Zhou army did not even listen to Yang Ye's words.
And Liu Ling also believed in Yang Ye's wisdom. Zhao Ba led such two thousand people to attack the city. If Yang Ye could no longer see Liu Ling's intentions, then he could only say that he had enjoyed a smooth life in the Zhou Dynasty in the past few years.
It's just good luck.
Sure enough, Zhao Bacai arrived at the east gate of Jinzhou with two thousand men and horses. Without giving him time to shout and curse, several trumpets sounded in the city, the city gate opened wide, and thousands of men and horses swarmed out.
The Zhou army, wearing khaki battle uniforms and carrying yellow battle flags, swirled out of the city gate like a sandstorm. The Han army, wearing black battle uniforms and flying red fire dragon battle flags, took up their positions. Zhao Ba watched.
The Zhou army that rushed out finally felt better. At least they rushed out without scolding the enemy. Half of the task was completed, and the next step was how to defeat. But it was still very difficult for Zhao Ba.
Array!
Zhao Ba roared, then led a dozen of his own soldiers and walked forward on horseback.
"Who is coming? Your Grandpa Zhao's men will not kill the unknown people!"
Zhao Ba shouted at the top of his lungs.
About three thousand Zhou troops formed a formation in front of the city gate. A general stood out, pointed his horse at Zhao Ba and shouted: "This is Zhou Xing, a general under the command of General Meng Hu, the right guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Who are you?"
"
"This is Zhao Ba, the vanguard of the loyal king of the Han Dynasty. Since you have seen the arrival of my army of the Han Dynasty, you should surrender as soon as possible to avoid a bloody disaster!"
"drop?"
Zhou Xing sneered and said, "If I lead troops to besiege Taiyuan, will you surrender without a fight?"
Zhao Ba laughed and said: "Wait until you surround Taiyuan City. I will count to three. If you don't surrender, don't blame the ruthless iron gun in my hand!"
Counting to three was Zhao Ba's limit. In fact, he wanted to count to one, because he was really afraid that he would be happy if the Zhou army surrendered. The prince asked him to only lose but not win. If he shouted twice and the Zhou army decisively surrendered,
Zhao Ba was really afraid that the prince would deal with him with military law.
"General, when are you going to run?"
It was only a few of Zhao Ba's soldiers who knew that the prince had given his general an order to only defeat him. Of course, the prince did not say that this order needed to be concealed. One of the soldiers approached Zhao Ba and asked with a smile.
Seeing that his own soldiers were still laughing, Zhao Ba couldn't help but get angry.
"You're just running away! You ran away before the fight started. This general can't afford to lose this person!"
"Uh... Didn't the prince say that you can only lose but not win? If you run in the morning and run in the evening, aren't you just running?"
The soldier muttered something, and when Zhao Ba glared at him with a murderous look, he shrunk his neck in fright and retreated sarcastically.
"Left wing, five hundred riders, attack!"
Not bothering to talk nonsense with the Zhou army general, Zhao Ba pointed his iron spear at the Zhou army camp and shouted.
The five hundred cavalrymen were ordered to defeat, but they still had to show off. With a roar, the five hundred cavalrymen rushed out like arrows from their strings, and the drawn swords flashed with dazzling brilliance in the sun. These few days
The situation between the Han Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty was reversed. The Zhou Dynasty was in chaos and the Han Dynasty was in chaos. The Han army was not inferior to the Zhou army in terms of equipment, and its military training was more systematic. After all, Liu Ling was a modern man and had read all kinds of books.
A set of effective methods have been summed up for troop training. However, in the past three years of civil strife in the Zhou Dynasty, various forces have attacked each other. The number of veterans has rapidly decreased, but the combat effectiveness of new recruits has not yet improved. If they were to fight with real swords and guns,
, it is not impossible for the two thousand Han troops under Zhao Ba to defeat the three thousand Zhou troops from Jinzhou.
When Zhou Xing, the general of the Zhou army, saw the Han army coming, he snorted coldly and waved his hand for a thousand men and horses on the right to come forward.
The soldiers of the Han army knew what they should do. They planned to retreat as soon as they made contact, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Han army's sharp sword was raised. For some reason, General Lang, who was leading the troops from the Zhou army, suddenly lost his horse and fell off his horse uncontrollably. The soldiers from the Zhou army running behind were afraid of hurting the general.
The generals reined in their horses and fled, and for a while the Zhou army was in chaos without fighting!
According to common sense, the Han army could seize the opportunity and charge with a single charge to defeat the Zhou army that was in chaos. However, the Han soldiers who had military orders did not know whether they should continue to charge forward.
"What's wrong?"
The leader of the Han Army brigade was stunned for a moment, and turned around to ask the captain next to him. The captain smiled bitterly and said: "You are the commander now..."
"Let's just rush over and talk. You can't lose without a fight, right?"
Lu Lv thought for a while and said.
The Han army paused for a moment, then patted their horses and continued to charge forward.
When the Zhou army behind saw the general who was rushing to the formation fell off his horse, they were shocked and rushed forward. The horses in front fell down a lot, and when they were thrown over, the people behind them could not get up. But the Han army came.
Zhao Ba slapped his forehead in annoyance and murmured: "Grandma, how can you lose this battle?"
A general at the level of Zhao Ba also knows that General Yang Ye has basically controlled Jinzhou City. The reason why he is setting up a posture to attack Jinzhou is to lure Meng Hu back and kill him, and to give General Yang Ye a reason.
, used to appease the team of more than 10,000 people under his command. Now the Han army is fighting fiercely at the North Gate, but in fact the casualties are not large. What is certain is that the team that closed the North Gate must not be Yang Ye's cronies.
, the one coming out of the east gate now is.
Although Zhao Ba is straightforward, he is not really stupid. He knows that the Zhou troops who came out of the camp from the east gate are nine-tenths of General Yang's men. Both sides may just be here to show off. If they really want to fight, blood will be shed.
Chenghe would have ruined the situation. But since it is just a show, it has to be three-point real, right? If the generals of the Zhou army who rushed into the battle fell down and did not seize the opportunity to kill them, the scene would be too fake.
That's why Zhao Ba is in trouble.
"Hurry! We have saved Wang Lang and will go back!"
At this time, Zhou Xing shouted loudly and seemed to be so anxious that he found a step for Zhao Ba. Zhao Ba asked people to slow down and pursue him, almost conniving with Zhou Jun to save the general who fell off his horse.
Go back. Before the battle started, the Zhou army rushed over. The thousand cavalry were defeated and retreated. The five hundred Han troops were chasing from behind, and it was not possible to not chase them. Just as they were hesitating, they saw the opponent's general Zhou Xing shouting. He listened carefully.
, it turned out that the defeated thousand cavalrymen unexpectedly panicked and knocked their own formation into a mess. Being driven by the defeated soldiers, the Zhou army in formation also became chaotic, and lost order like herding sheep.
Whether you want to lose or not, you won this battle in a blur.
Suddenly, a school lieutenant rushed over with a horizontal sword, followed by four or five soldiers. Zhao Ba was dumbfounded when he saw it. He didn't order the pursuit, so why did he kill him? Look at the school lieutenant who only brought
He followed a few soldiers and killed them without fear of death. Not long after, he rushed into the Zhou army's position and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He didn't know whether he was hacked to death or captured alive.
Just when Zhao Ba was about to scold him for having such an idiot under his command, he suddenly saw a captain in the Zhou army, leading a few men and rushing over without fear of death...
Fortunately, Zhao Ba was not stupid. He curled his lips and finally understood the prince's intention.
"Catch them alive!"
Zhao Ba sighed and gave the order, then turned his horse and walked back. As he walked, he felt depressed. How should he go back to deal with the prince?
The farce-like battle ended quickly. With several captives tied up, the Han army yelled and cursed outside the city for a while. Perhaps they were afraid of being "beaten" by the Han army. The east gate of Jinzhou was closed tightly, and there was no one again.
A man came out to fight. Zhao Ba actually knew that the task assigned by the prince had actually been completed, so Yang Zi simply returned his troops after doing enough.
Liu Ling didn't blame him for winning the battle. He thought that Yang Ye had arranged the people under him in the same way. He thought it was funny when he thought about it. Anyway, he had brought the people back. If he won, he would look better.
After bringing the captain of the Zhou army into the tent, Liu Ling had someone loosen his bonds.
"The humble official Shangguan pays homage to the prince!"
When the captain met Liu Ling, he bowed his knees and saluted. He claimed that he was in a humble position, and Liu Ling suddenly understood.
"You are one of the twenty-eight people who came to Jinzhou with Yang Ye, right?"
Liu Ling stood up, walked to Shangguan Shan and asked.
"Exactly! I didn't expect to see the prince again. I wish the prince good health!"
Shangguan Shan kowtowed.
Liu Ling helped him up and carefully looked at the young man in front of him, who was several years younger than him. His face also changed color. Those twenty-nine people who had been infiltrated into Da Zhou were still alive now.
Ten people were gone. In order to ensure safety, Yang Ye killed some of the people who entered the Zhou Dynasty with him. Liu Ling has always been worried about this matter, and always felt that Yang Ye went too far.
But he also knew that it would be difficult to survive as an undercover agent in an enemy country without being ruthless and ruthless.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Liu Ling said with an emotional expression.
Shangguan said in fear: "Serving the country in a humble position is not hard work."
Liu Ling said: "Come, sit down first and tell me about the things in Jinzhou City. You don't have to go back later and you can work with me."
Shangguan Shu's face was filled with joy and he kowtowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Ling learned about the situation in Jinzhou in detail, and then asked him to go to Wang Xiaoniu and temporarily serve as the captain of one of his own soldiers. Although his position had dropped a lot, Shangguan Yang knew that the prince wanted to reuse him, and he was happy.
