On the day that Changsun Yuanhu died in the battle, Wei Zheng ordered the news to be sent back to Liangzhou as soon as possible, and informed Yan Chu. He also wrote a secret letter saying that Changsun Yuanhong was the only son in the family, and Changsun Yuanhu was also the only son.
Although he was not a blood brother of his compatriots, his relationship was better than that of a real brother. He asked Yan Chu not to come forward to ask eldest son Yuanhong to return to the capital. Instead, he asked eldest son Yuanhong's father, eldest son Ce, and eldest son Yuanhu's father, eldest son Changsun Zhan.
Brother, go and invite him. As long as they go there, Changsun Yuanhong will definitely return to the capital.
Yan Chu was smart. At this time, she already understood why Wei Zheng suggested leading Sun Yuanhong on the expedition. However, he did not point out that at this time, according to Wei Zheng's opinion, he sent people to find Chang Sun Ce and Chang Sun Zhan, with angry faces.
Tell the story of General Sun Yuanhu's death on the battlefield.
Changsun Zhan had a son like Changsun Yuanhu. When he heard that his son died in front of the two armies, the old man almost fainted with grief on the spot. Changsun Ce was also wiping his tears, stamping his feet and beating his chest, shaking his head and lamenting. Yan Chu was moved.
He said: "The wind thief is coming with great force, and there are so many fierce generals in the army. It is really difficult for our army to deal with it! If General Yuan Hong still refuses to come out of the mountain, I don't know how many people in Daning will die at the hands of the wind thief!"
There was no need for Yan Chu to explain, but Changsun Ce said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I will go to the west immediately. Even if I ask you, I will drag the dog back so that he can be loyal to the country and avenge his brother!"
After hearing this, Yan Chu was so excited that he almost jumped up. If Chang Sun Ce came forward, the matter would be easier to handle. No matter how stubborn Chang Sun Yuanhong was, he couldn't disobey his father, right? This is what Chang Sun Zhan said next:
"Brother, I will go with you. If my nephew refuses to return to the capital, I will run into him and die in front of him!"
Things were developing as Wei Zheng expected. When they learned that Changsun Yuanhu had died in the battle, Changsun Ce and Changsun Zhan couldn't sit still. They both went to the west of Ning State and decided to take Changsun Yuanhong back to the capital.
.
On the other side, the 500,000 Ning army commanded by Wei Zheng was still confronting the Feng army.
On the second day after Wu Guang went to battle, Tang Yin raised his tent and issued an order for the entire army to attack.
He ordered the Pingyuan Army to be the front army and take the lead, the Sanshui Army and the Tianying Army to be the left and right armies to support the two wings, and the direct army to be the center army and the rear army to hold down the formation and reinforce it. In addition, he also
Ye Quan and Gao Yi were ordered to each lead 5,000 troops and ambush ten miles to the left and right of their own camp. If they saw the city troops from Nanhai and Jianxing arriving for reinforcements, they could stop and kill them.
Tang Yin passed the order like a barrage of fire, and then the entire Feng army went out to fight, forming a fighting formation at the front of the Ning army camp.
The Ning army led by Wei Zheng also went to war, but judging from its strength, it seemed that there were not 500,000 troops, but about 400,000. But it was only in that era, and the troops sent out were not real. In order to frighten the opponent, they would use more troops.
It is common to boast that one hundred thousand people are called two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand people are called five hundred thousand, and six hundred thousand people are called one million.
Relying on its large number of troops, the Ning army set up the Crane Wing Formation in front of the camp. The focus of the Crane Wing Formation was on the two wings, which emphasized outflanking and He Long's siege.
Before the battle between the two armies, Wei Zheng first urged his horse to leave the Ning army's camp and called Tang Yin by name to come out and speak.
Hearing that Wei Zheng called him out, Tang Yin, who was in charge of the central army, sneered and muttered: "If you want to fight, fight, what nonsense are you talking about?" Even though he said that, Tang Yin still rode out on horseback, Shangguan brothers, Cheng Jin and others
People followed closely behind.
Arriving in front of the formations of the two armies, Tang Yin headed towards the opposite side. A group of cavalry stood in front of the Ning Army camp. The leader was an old man with gray hair. Although he was old, he was full of energy and dressed in a full body.
He is in military uniform, with a handsome red cloak on his back, his back is straight and straight, and he doesn't look senile at all.
Tang Yin nodded secretly. It seemed that this person was Wei Zheng, the famous general of Ning State! He raised his head and said proudly: "Wei Zheng, what do you have to say to this king? Don't you want to surrender to our army?"
While he was sizing up Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng was also sizing him up. Seeing Tang Yin's appearance clearly, Wei Zheng secretly sighed in his heart, what a young and promising monarch! From the appearance alone, Tang Yin was definitely handsome. His eyebrows were divided.
Bacai, with bright eyes, a high nose, red lips and white teeth, deep facial features, sharp edges on his face, and a natural smile, which makes his resolute and handsome appearance reveal a kind and harmless self-confidence. Even if he is not the king of a country, he is just a human being.
Ordinary people, no matter who they see, can't help but take a few more glances.
Taking a deep breath, Wei Zheng was not moved by Tang Yin's words. He said with a smile: "King Feng, I am here to persuade you to stop your troops and return home. Your Feng Kingdom's national strength is not as strong as mine, Daning's, and your Feng Kingdom's military strength is not as strong as mine."
Ning Duo, you don’t have many generals under your command as we do in Daning. In the short term, you can gain some advantage through sneak attacks, but if the war lasts for a long time, your Feng Kingdom will definitely not be my opponent in Daning. King Feng, if you are a smart man
, you should have withdrawn your troops and returned home long ago, otherwise, you and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under your command may not be able to go back. Not long ago, the 200,000 Feng army was completely wiped out in Hedong, which is a lesson learned from the past!"
"Haha -" Tang Yin heard this and laughed loudly, and said proudly: "Your Excellency, why don't you take into account how many troops you have lost in Hedong? Now my Dafeng soldiers are no longer what they used to be. It's time to retreat and give up obediently.
It’s you who are in charge of the Hedong area. Otherwise, no matter how strong your Ning State’s national strength is, it will be exhausted, no matter how many troops you have, they will all be killed, and your general’s heavy load will only become a stepping stone for our soldiers to make contributions!”
"Wind, wind, wind——"
As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, the soldiers behind him raised their arms and shouted, and the shouts were earth-shattering and deafening. Tang Yin smiled, raised his arms slightly, stopped the shouts of the soldiers below, looked at Wei Zheng, and asked with a smile
Said: "What do you think?"
Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "Okay, good words can't persuade the damn ghosts. Since you are going to die, I can only help you. King Feng, I can make a bet with you, our army will win this battle!"
"Humph!" Tang Yin shrugged and laughed, not bothering to talk nonsense to Wei Zheng. He turned his horse's head towards the main formation, waved his hand without looking back and said, "I will wait and see!"
Negotiations between the two generals broke down, and what followed was an all-out war between the two armies.
Without waiting for the Feng Army to press forward, the Ning Army took the initiative to advance forward without fear. Each of the 400,000 Ning Army was wearing a steel helmet and armor, shining under the reflection of the sun, shaking the ground.
A tremor.
Tang Yin, who had retreated to the central army, saw the Ning army actively approaching his side. He sneered, shook his head and said, "Is the Ning army so anxious to die?" As he spoke, he turned his head and said to the herald: "Before the notice is given,
Xiao Muqing of the army, ask him to use as much force as possible on me, and we must first defeat the Ning army’s front army!”
"Yes! Your Majesty!" the herald agreed, urging his horse to gallop out.
Then Tang Yin also issued an order for the entire army to attack forward.
Boom, boom, boom, - the Feng Army beat their shields in unison as they advanced, and with the sound of the shields as the rhythm of their march, the four major formations of Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, Tianying Army, and Directly Affiliated Army began to advance forward in unison.
.
The two armies of Feng and Ning advanced head-on. The two armies quickly entered each other's shooting range, and the arrow arrays of the two armies were released almost at the same time.
call!
In an instant, a dark cloud rose above the front troops of both armies, and the sky was covered with arrows that blocked the sun and flew into the air together. The two dark clouds met in the sky, and the sound of crackling collisions was endless, and the martial arts was brutal.
Feather-broken arrows scattered from mid-air, but there were still more arrows that passed through the opponent's arrow screen, drew arcs in the air, and flew down toward the enemy's head.
Thump, thump, thump...
In the camps of both armies, the sound of arrows striking shields, armor breaking, arrows being hit, and screams sounded simultaneously. A large number of soldiers from both sides fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.
Wei Zheng, who was in the center of the army, was startled, and his body on the horse involuntarily jumped up. He did not expect that the Feng Army's arrow formation had become so powerful. Not only did it shoot as far as his own, but it was even more powerful.
No less than our own side, the Feng Army is already good at close combat, and now they have practiced swordsmanship so well that they are even more powerful. No wonder our soldiers cannot resist it and lost three cities in the east of the river. The current Feng Army's combat power is so strong.
, can indeed be called the master of tiger and wolf.
Wei Zheng took a deep breath and waved the small flag in his hand sideways. Seeing this, the Ning soldiers on the carriage nearby who were beating the drums with all their strength immediately stopped what they were doing. In an instant, the drums in the Ning army stopped.
Beating the drums to advance, ringing the gold to retreat, these are the simplest terms on the battlefield. Stopping the drums still means stop advancing.
The Ning soldiers under Wei Zheng were well-trained. As soon as the drum beat stopped, the whole army seemed to come to a sudden stop and immediately stopped advancing. The soldiers below stood there like nails. At the same time, the soldiers in front stood up.
The soldiers at the rear raised their shields high above their heads. In the blink of an eye, Ning Jun's forward-moving steel chariot turned into a steel fortress as stable as Mount Tai.
Ding, clang, clang - Feng Jun's arrows hit the shield of Ning Jun's camp, crackling and sparks flying, but the lethality was greatly reduced. As soon as Feng Jun's arrow array passed, Ning Jun immediately put down his shield
, to shoot back the arrow formation in the shortest time. The advancing Feng Army camp cannot put up a monolithic and invulnerable shield formation like the Ning Army standing still. When the Ning Army's arrows fly close,
Another miserable cry was heard in the Fengjun camp, and countless soldiers were shot to the ground.
Former army commander Xiao Muqing licked his dry lips and sent an order to his subordinates to use the army-breaking crossbow to smash the Ning army's shield array.
The army-breaking crossbow is powerful, but not as bulky as the trebuchet and city-breaking crossbow. It is very easy to hide and carry in the army.
Upon hearing Xiao Muqing's order, the regiment commanders and captains below immediately commanded their soldiers to make corresponding changes in formation.
I saw the soldiers in the front of the Feng Army scattering to the left and right, and the soldiers behind quickly pushed out fifty army-breaking crossbows, pointed them at the Ning Army's shield formation, and fired them all.
