Chapter 277 Capture the thief first capture the king
Before he finished speaking, he saw a line of smoke rising from the eastern horizon, slowly approaching, and it looked like there were no less than ten thousand horses.
Zhu Zhanji and Wang Xian anxiously inspected the position to confirm that the soldiers had taken shields against arrows... Although the drill used headless arrows, the opponent's hard bow was not fake. Even if it was thrown out, it could hurt someone.
.
Fortunately, Wang Xian had already thought of a countermeasure. He asked his men to remove the carriage plank, and one piece could be used to block arrows for five or six people... Of course, if this was an iron arrowhead, using a wooden board to block it would be just seeking death, but if it were a wooden arrowhead, it would be fine.
Problem. Xue Xun objected to this because it was unreasonable.
"What if I cover the car plate with a layer of iron?" Wang Xian hypothesized helplessly. He found that the ancients were more observant than himself. Even a bad guy like Xue Xun was used to playing by the rules.
"Of course it can be blocked," Xue Xun said: "But the problem is that it is not blocked?"
"I'll cover it up when I turn around, okay?" Wang Xian rolled his eyes in anger and said, "Xue Baihu, what is required on the battlefield is obedience, not questioning. If there are any problems, we can discuss them later. What you have to do now is to close your eyes."
mouth, and then do as you are told.”
"..." Xue Xun then muttered: "What did you tell me to do?"
"Come over here."
The enemy cavalry came slower than expected, but this is normal. The cavalry must conserve their horsepower and there is no need to speed up before engaging in battle.
After Zhu Zhanji finished his inspection, he returned to Wang Xian and said softly: "Are you angry?"
"It's okay." Wang Xian shook his head and said calmly: "Xue Xun is right, but the specific situation should be dealt with in detail. Our name is the Young Army, not even the New Army. It is a mistake for such an army to go to the battlefield. Even if
Fighting a battle in a regular manner is just to experience the feeling of being slaughtered, and it will not be beneficial to the growth of soldiers. It is more important to find ways to maintain morale."
"Well." Zhu Zhanji patted Wang Xian on the shoulder and said, "You are still thinking carefully. But you missed one thing. This bastard Zhu Zhanhe is here. He is here to make me look good. We don't need to tell them.
rule"
At this time, the enemy was approaching. Wang Xian looked at the opponent's flag. Sure enough, besides the military flag, there was also a flag of the Prince of Han Dynasty. He shouted in a deep voice: "It's really Zhu Zhanhe."
While he was talking, he saw groups of cavalry coming from all directions like dark clouds. In addition to Zhu Zhanhe's Longxiang left guard, there were also Zhu Zhantan's Longxiang right guard, forming a turtle formation to surround them.
It was airtight.
Although it was just an exercise, being surrounded by enemy cavalry still dealt a huge blow to the morale of the young soldiers. The officers and soldiers looked ugly.
At this time, an officer from the other side, holding a white flag, came within a hundred feet of the young army and shouted: "Which army are you from?"
"Don't you have eyesight?"
"Ah, it turns out that His Highness Taisun's team was disrespectful and disrespectful." The officer said with panic, but his buttocks were nailed to the horse without moving: "We are the Longxiang Army of the Four Guards acting as the enemy. Now we have surrounded you. According to the drill
According to the rules, you can choose to surrender, hand over your weapons and exit."
"That's nonsense," Xue Xun sneered, "If you are surrounded, you have to surrender. Do you think this is just playing house? You are the cavalry, we are the infantry. You attack me and it is natural. If you can chew off the bones, it is your ability.
But be careful, you will be surrounded by our army. I wonder if you will surrender when the time comes?"
Xue Xun was rough but subtle. He used his spear to attack the other's shield, leaving the officer speechless. If he wanted to say no, why would he ask the young army to surrender? If he wanted to say surrender, wouldn't he lose morale? I could only say bitterly: "You will regret it" and then rode back to the main formation. The young army behind him burst into laughter, and the tension was greatly reduced.
"I didn't expect this guy to be quite powerful." Zhu Zhanji looked at Xue Xun with a smile and said, "Sure enough, he is modeled after the same mold as Marquis Yang Wu."
Wang Xian nodded. In fact, he had already admired Xue Xun, otherwise he would not have sent him to have a conversation.
Not long after the officer returned to the formation, the yellow flag moved to the front of the formation. A person under the flag was riding a tall horse. It was Zhu Zhanhe, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty. Surrounded by the generals, he came to shout in person: "Brother Zhanji, please come up. Talk before you."
Zhu Zhanji grunted and rode out. The two of them were only ten feet away from each other and looked at each other. Zhu Zhanhe now had the advantage. Naturally, he was looking forward to Zixiong and was high-spirited. Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and said: "Zhanhe , what did you ask me to do?”
"Sorry brother, there are no brothers when the two armies are fighting." Zhu Zhanhe bowed and said with the indifference unique to a victor: "Surrender, don't let the soldiers suffer meaningless harm." After a pause, he added: "Although it is a military exercise , but our army’s tens of thousands of cavalry, under the attack of strong bows and crossbows, will inevitably suffer casualties. Do you really want to gamble with the lives of hundreds of officers and soldiers?”
Zhu Zhanji's face was as dark as water. The other person's words were more heart-warming. He had to be a brave military commander and he had to take into account the image of benevolence. It was really contradictory and he had no way to answer. But after all, he was very human. He looked up to the sky and laughed for a while. Taking the opportunity to think about his words, he straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "My dear brother, what you said is wrong. I think my emperor is determined to conduct military exercises, so he requires us to base ourselves on actual combat and regard this as a real battlefield. Moreover, if the soldiers Surrendering to the enemy without firing a single shot, does this shame have anything to do with whether it is a military exercise? Who wants to bear this shame for the rest of his life?" He drank the last sentence loudly, not only to Zhu Zhanhe, but also to Zhu Zhanhe. To the young army behind you.
Wang Xian was indeed Zhu Zhanji's good partner, and he immediately shouted loudly: "No". All the officers and soldiers also shouted in unison: "No". The soldiers were used to shouting slogans together, and this time they shouted "No" in perfect order. Loud and powerful.
Zhu Zhanhe was shouted at by more than 10,000 people at the same time. One of them did not pay attention and almost fell off his horse. He became furious and shouted: "Zhu Zhanji, you immediately give the order to throw down your bows, arrows, swords and guns, otherwise I will wave my flag and all the people will be killed." The crossbows are firing. If you are accidentally injured, you can’t rely on me."
"Stop talking nonsense, the sword has no eyes, everyone is destined to be at peace." Zhu Zhanji snorted coldly, and said to the generals behind him: "This time I will take the lead alone, and I will live and die with you." He was provoked by Zhu Zhanhe's words. The heroic blood in his body caused the soldiers of the young army to be heartbroken and shouted for a thousand years.
"Okay," Zhu Zhanhe saw that he wanted to humiliate the other party, but was turned into a mobilization meeting by Zhu Zhanji. He was furious. He took out a flag from his arms and was about to wave it when something suddenly happened. I saw the soldier holding Zhu Zhanji's horse, like an arrow from the string, rushing towards him. After a few leaps, he crossed a distance of ten feet and came to him.
Zhu Zhanhe's guards hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but the man was like a ghost, ducking through the crowd. When the guards turned around, he had already reached out and grabbed the reins of Zhu Zhanhe's horse. Zhu Zhanhe He hurriedly slashed with his knife, but the man was so short that he slipped through the horse's belly. When he reappeared, he had already jumped on the horse's back. Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly struck with his elbow, but he was pressed on the big point on his back and could not move. Don't dare to move.
In fact, Zhu Zhanhe has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are not bad, but he was defeated by the opponent with three moves and two moves. It can only be said that the strong will have the strong...
This master was naturally Young Master Xianyun. He was originally entrusted by Wang Xian to protect his grandson, but when he saw Zhu Zhanhe's arrogant look, he took action in a moment of excitement.
When the guards saw that the prince was captured, they were naturally frightened and angry. They threatened Xianyun loudly and asked Xianyun to let go of the prince, otherwise they would chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs. But Master Xianyun had died once, how could he be captured?
Were they frightened? They put Zhu Zhanhe's knife against Zhu Zhanhe's neck, lightly touched the horse's neck with his right knee, and the precious war horse obeyed and walked towards the formation of the young army.
Those guards, who were afraid of stopping him, could only watch as he took the prince away.
Zhu Zhanji had already returned to the formation. Seeing that Xianyun had captured Zhu Zhanhe back from the formation with lightning speed, he was naturally as happy as anything and praised Wang Xian vigorously: "You arranged this, right?
It’s good to catch the thief first and catch the king first.” As he spoke, his voice became softer and he said, “But next time it’s better to say hello in advance…”
"The matter was rushed and I didn't have time to discuss it with His Highness. I'll know next time." Wang Xian responded softly, but secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. This is Master Xianyun's own decision, okay? I was just as shocked as my friends just now.
"But then again, why is your brother's kung fu so good?" Wang Xian glanced at the handsome little guard beside him.
The little guard was naturally dressed as Lingxiao. She gave Wang Xian an infinitely beautiful look and said, "My brother's kung fu has always been so good."
"I didn't see it." Wang Xian chuckled.
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment and realized that he was referring to the time when Xianyun almost died in Pujiang. He couldn't help but said coquettishly: "The opponent that time was the Thirteen Taibao, who was famous in the world more than ten years ago..." Wang Xianlian
With a wink, she didn't say the words "Master in the field."
At this time, Xianyun escorted Zhu Zhanhe back to the main formation, and the sergeants hurriedly opened the cracks in the formation and cheered to welcome the triumphant hero.
Zhu Zhanji first nodded heavily to Xianyun, then looked at Zhu Zhanhe and said, "I'm sorry Zhanhe, there are no brothers when the two armies are fighting."
What he just said was returned as it was while it was hot. Zhu Zhan rolled his eyes in anger and said hard: "It's useless for you to catch me, my army will still destroy you." After all, it was an exercise, Zhu Zhan said.
Ji couldn't use Zhu Zhanhe's life to threaten the other party to withdraw.
"Who says it's useless?" Zhu Zhanji snorted coldly: "Tie His Royal Highness in the car formation, and let's see who dares to shoot arrows." This move is cruel enough, it is a more powerful shield than a shield.
Over there, Zhu Zhantan and the other generals looked at each other in shock. They thought it was a job that could be easily captured, but unexpectedly, someone else captured the general. They couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"Your Highness, what should I do?" Looking at the other party tying the prince to the car, who dares to shoot bows and arrows? But if you can't shoot arrows, how to deal with the layers of car formations? Is it really possible to launch an attack? That will hurt the precious
of war horse
If there is a real war, the soldiers will naturally not regret their horses, but this is a military exercise after all. Is it worth losing their best comrades? The generals feel that the answer is self-evident.
