On the day that Changsun Yuanhu died in the battle, Wei Zheng ordered people to quickly pass the news back to Liangzhou 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, but to let eldest son Yuanhong's father Changsun Ce and eldest Sun Yuanhu's father Changsun Zhan.
I'll invite two old brothers. As long as they go, Changsun Yuanhong will definitely return to the capital.
Yan Chu was smart. At this time, he already understood why Wei Zheng suggested leading Sun Yuanhu to go on the expedition. However, he did not point out the matter. According to Wei Zheng's opinion, he sent people to find Chang Sun Ce and Chang Sun Zhan. The generals looked sad and angry.
Tell the story of Changsun 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 fiercely, 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 had already said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I will go to the west immediately, even if I drag the dog back, let him be loyal to the country and avenge his brother!"
After hearing this, Yan Chu was so excited that he almost jumped up. With Chang Sun Ce stepping forward, things would be easier to handle. No matter how stubborn Chang Sun Yuanhong was, he couldn't help but listen to his father, right?! At this time, Chang Sun Zhan continued:
"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 developed exactly as Wei Zheng expected. After learning that Changsun Yuanhu had died in the battle, Changsun Ce and Changsun Zhan could not sit still. They both went to the west of Ning State and decided to take Changsun Yuanhong back.
All.
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
He also ordered Generals Ye Quan and Gao Yi to each lead 5,000 troops to ambush ten miles away from their own camp. If they saw the reinforcements from Nanhai and Jianxing, they could stop and kill them.
Tang Yin conveyed the order in rapid succession, and then the entire Feng army went to battle, forming a fighting formation at the front of the Ning army's camp.
The Ning Army, headed by Wei Zheng, also went out to fight, but looking at its strength, it seemed that there were not 500,000 troops, but about 400,000. However, for that era, the troops sent out were not real, in order to frighten the opponent.
, everyone will brag more. 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. This is a common thing.
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 focused on outflanking and closing the 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, where did all this nonsense come from?!" Although he said that, Tang Yin still rode out and rode out, Shangguan brothers, Cheng Jin
Others followed closely behind.
Arriving in front of the two armies' formations, Tang Yin looked across and saw a group of cavalry standing in front of the Ning army's camp. The leader was an old man with gray beard and hair. Although he was old, he was full of energy and dressed in a full body.
He was in military uniform, with a handsome red cloak on his back, his back straight and straight, and he didn'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 me? 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 country's national strength is not as strong as mine, Daning's, and your Feng army's military strength is not as strong as Daning's.
Duo, you don’t have many generals under my command in Daning. In the short term, you can gain some advantages 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. The 200,000-strong Feng army that was wiped out in Hedong not long ago is a lesson learned from the past!"
"Haha -" Tang Yin heard this and laughed loudly, saying proudly: "Why don't you count how many troops you have lost in Hedong? Now my Dafeng soldiers are no longer what they used to be. They should retreat and give in.
It is you who should leave the Hedong area. Otherwise, no matter how strong your Ningguo’s national power is, it will be exhausted, no matter how many troops you have, they will all be killed, and no matter how many generals you have, they will only become a stepping stone for our soldiers to make contributions!
"
"Wind, wind, wind——"
As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, the Feng Army soldiers behind him all 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
: "What do you think?"
Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "It's hard to persuade those damn ghosts with good words. 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!"
"Huh!" Tang Yin shrugged and laughed, too lazy to talk nonsense to Wei Zheng. He turned his horse's head back to the formation, waving his hands without looking back and said: "I will wait and see!"
Negotiations between the generals of both sides broke down, and what followed was a full-scale battle 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 wore steel helmets and armor, gleaming under the reflection of the sun, and moved like a steel fortress.
As if, they stepped forward in unison, making the ground tremble.
Tang Yin, who retreated to the central army, saw Ning Jun's battle formation actively approaching his own side. He sneered, shook his head and said, "Is Ning Jun so eager to die?!" As he spoke, he turned to the herald and said: "
Inform Xiao Muqing of the front army and ask him to use as much force as possible on me, and be sure to defeat Ning Jun's front army first!"
"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 wind army beat their shields in unison as they advanced, using the sound of the shields as the rhythm of their march. The four large square formations of the Pingyuan Army, the Sanshui Army, the Sky Eagle Army, and the Directly Affiliated Army began to advance forward in unison.
.
The two armies of Feng and Ning advanced head-on. The two armies soon 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 arrows filled the sky, covering the sky and closing 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 countless broken feathers were scattered.
Broken arrows scattered from mid-air, but more arrows still 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 the two armies, the sound of arrows hitting shields, armor breaking, arrows being hit, and screams were heard at the same time. A large number of soldiers on both sides fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.
Wei Zheng, who was watching the battle from the central army, was startled. The body sitting on the horse moved upward involuntarily. 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 also shot as far as his own.
Even the power is not inferior to our own. The Feng Army is already good at close combat. Now that they have practiced archery so well, they are undoubtedly more powerful. No wonder our soldiers cannot resist it and lost three cities in Hedong. The current Feng Army
With such strong fighting power, he can truly be called the master of tigers and wolves.
Wei Zheng took a deep breath and waved the small flag in his hand sideways. Upon seeing this, the Ning soldiers who were beating the drums with all their strength on the carriage 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, this is the simplest terminology on the battlefield. Stopping the drums means not to advance any further.
The Ning army under Wei Zheng was training quickly. 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 shields of Ning Jun's camp, crackling and sparks flying, but the lethality was greatly reduced. As soon as Feng Jun's arrow formation passed, Ning Jun immediately put down his shield
, to shoot back the arrow array in the shortest possible 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,
There was another scream 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 formation.
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 crossbows, aimed at the Ning Army's shield array, and fired them all.
