Chapter 1247: The Battle of Yongqiu: King Yu Zhao Yuanqi vs Shouling Junjing She (2) [two in one]
"PS: A book friend named "Gu'er" in the book review gave me some very good suggestions for the development of farming (already pinned). Interested book friends may wish to participate in the discussion and brainstorm some ideas suitable for contemporary crafts in the article.
The basic new technology will promote the rise of the Wei State, because I will soon return to my country to farm. Also, regarding the selection of military songs, the book friends seem to be not too enthusiastic.』
————The following text————
"Report! It is suspected that reinforcements from our army are arriving from the northwest!"
After Diyangjun Xiong Shang led his army to join the battlefield, the Shoulingjun Jingshe in the Chu army's camp received this information.
Under the surprised gazes of Guling Lord Xiong Wu, Liyang Lord Xiong Sheng, and many Chu army generals in the tent, Shouling Lord Jingshe showed a slight smile on his face and said with a smile: "Everyone, it's time to close the net."
It’s time!”
Everyone in the tent looked at each other, and when they came to their senses, they were inexplicably surprised.
They finally realized that the Shoulingjun Jingshe in front of them had always controlled the outcome of the entire battlefield.
At this time, Shouling Jun Jingshe had stood up, waved his hand and ordered: "Send the order to the "main army" to attack immediately to encircle and annihilate the Northern Wei Army!"
"Follow the order!"
Everyone in the tent clasped their fists in response.
After a while, when Shouling Junjingshe's order was passed to several regular troops near the Chu army's camp, the more than 300,000 regular Chu troops who had been stationary for several hours finally began to take action to attack those who penetrated deeply into them.
The Northern Army in the hinterland of the Chu army launched a counterattack.
The official participation of the main army of the Chu State in the war immediately blocked the advance momentum of the Northern Army's generals.
This is no wonder. After all, the "regular army" is the regular army of the Chu State. How can the combat effectiveness be compared to that of the "recruited soldiers"?
"..."
Li Meng and Zhang Ao, the generals of the First Army of the North, immediately noticed the sudden change in the battle situation.
After all, so far in this battle, the Chu army against the Wei army is actually just a miscellaneous army that does not even have a "big flag" - including the king's flag, the general's flag, and the army's flag. It has neither been systematically trained nor
Decent weapons and equipment, as if they were an insurgent mob.
But now, the troops with "big flags" deep in the Chu army's camp began to take action one after another. For a while, they looked like the "Shouling Army", "Jingling Army", "Xiling Army", "Shaoyang Army", "
Peng
"Lijun", "Songyangjun" and other military flags, like "Gulingjun", "Liyangjun", "Zhangyangjun", "Xinyangjun", "Penglijun" and other general flags, all appeared one after another.
Appear in the distance.
This made the Northern First Army generals Li Meng, Zhang Ao and others very nervous.
After all, the Northern First Army said it was more or less. Although the number of 60,000 people was believed to be a decisive force at other times, at this moment, in front of hundreds of thousands of Chu troops, it still showed that
Weak and weak.
However, it seemed that the bad news was not just that. Not long after, a messenger from the army came to report to General Li Meng: "General Li Meng, there is a Chu army behind our army, it seems to be the army of Di Yangjun Xiong Shang!
"
"What?"
Li Meng's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He endured the horror in his heart and looked back. Sure enough, he saw behind his Beiyi Army, a vague sea of people that looked like a "black tide" and was quickly swarming towards them.
"Such a pincer attack from both front and rear to encircle and annihilate all our troops here... It turns out that Shouling Junjingshe had this idea."
Li Meng finally realized why his Northern Army's advance had been so smooth. It turned out that the Chu Army was deliberately releasing water.
"Li Meng!"
Gong Liangyi, the general of the Northern First Army who was also the Zongwei of King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, rode his horse to Li Meng's side and said urgently: "Our army was attacked by Di Yangjun Xiong Shang from behind..."
Li Meng raised his hand to interrupt Gong Liangyi's words and said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember Prince Yu's instructions? He told us to just attack forward and ignore our backs... I think what Prince Yu meant was not to pay attention to our backs.
Di Yangjun Xiong Shang."
"Can……"
Gong Liangyi's expression changed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: Regardless of Di Yangjun Xiong Shang behind him, wouldn't he be defeated by the former?
As if he had guessed Gong Liangyi's thoughts, Li Meng said sternly: "I believe that Prince Yu has already guessed that the Diyang Junxiong Chamber of Commerce will return and attack our army. In this case, I believe that Prince Yu has already thought of corresponding countermeasures."
,Right now, we can only believe in Prince Yu and continue to attack the Chinese army in the Chu camp..."
Gong Liangyi thought for a moment after hearing this, and finally could only nod his head and lead his team to bid farewell to Li Meng.
"Northern First Army——, charge forward——!"
Following Li Meng's order, the 60,000-strong Northern Army regrouped and continued to advance towards the central army at the Chu army's camp. It was as if they had made a self-defeating decision after learning that they were being attacked from both sides.
"The Wei army is brave but has no plans, so they should be defeated by our army!"
At this moment, many generals of the Chu army expressed that the encircled Northern Wei Army was nothing more than fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
For a time, many people rushed forward to grab the credit.
Among them, Guling Lord Xiong Wu was at the forefront.
To be fair, in too many wars involving the Wei State, the outcome of the war for this Chu prince was really embarrassing.
I remember that during the first "Chu-Wei War", another Chu prince, Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo, was beaten extremely miserably by Wei prince Ji Run. More than a dozen of the feudal cities were captured, and only a few were left.
However, in fact, in that war, Xiong Wu, Lord of Guling, who was forced to return half of the territory of the Song Dynasty because of the "Zhengyang Peace Treaty between Chu and Wei", was actually not much better. He spent a lot of money, food and manpower, but in the end nothing happened.
Didn't catch it.
In the "Battle of the Four Kingdoms of Qi, Lu, Wei and Yue against Chu", Xiong Wu, Lord of Guling, was even more embarrassed. His fiefdom, Gulingyi, was destroyed by 5,000 Wei merchants and 50,000 Boxile's cavalry from northern Sichuan.
——Now the cavalry of the "Jiejiao Army" swept away all the resources, including the people of the Chu State in the fiefdom, to Shangshui, leaving only a desolate land for Guling Lord Xiong Wu.
Later, even Xiong Wu, the Lord of Guling, looked down upon that desolate land. First, the King of Chu came forward to cede it to the Wei State as an apology for the defeat. Later, it was returned by the Wei State court who looked down upon the land.
It was given to the State of Chu, and is currently used as the "exile" of the Qu family of Mi.
What's even more terrible is that the 80,000 troops under the command of Guling Lord Xiong Wu were also defeated by the Shangshui Army at that time. He was the most miserable prince of Chu at that time.
However, Guling Lord Xiong Wu did not recover from this, because he was the son of the Queen of Chu and the legitimate son of the King of Chu. This noble status was also shared by Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo, Liyang Lord Xiong Sheng and other Chu princes.
Incomparable.
With the secret help of the Queen of Chu and his uncle, Lord Guling Xiong Wu got a huge advantage after the "Battle of Qi, Lu, Wei and Yue Four Kingdoms against Chu" - he was during the period when Lord Ju Yang Xiong Li was being questioned by King Xiong Xu of Chu.
, swallowed up the huge city of Yang, and once again became the prince of Chu State with the greatest financial resources and manpower.
You must know that Ju Yangjun Xiong Li, who was greedy for life and feared death at the time, allowed one hundred thousand Ju Yang troops to guard Juyang County to protect his wealth that made Wei Gongzi Rundou jealous, and these wealth were all cheap in the end.
Ling Jun Xiong Wu.
Of course, this matter has not been announced to the public yet, but I believe that as long as Guling Lord Xiong Wu achieves a dazzling performance in this battle, I believe that the Chudong nobles will also acquiesce in the Chu Kingdom's son's replacement of Juyang Lord Xiong Li.
After all, the relationship between Guling Lord Xiong Wu and the Chudong nobles is quite good.
Because of this, after seeing that Wei's Northern Army was about to be surrounded and killed, Lord Guling Xiong Wu excitedly drove his "Ju Yang Army" to attack the Northern Army, which allowed the Northern Army to continue to advance.
operations were severely hampered.
It’s no wonder, after all, the Ju Yang Army is not a weak force. Don’t forget that the current third battalion general of the Yanling Army of Wei State, Sun Shuke, and the soldiers under his command are from the Chu State’s Ju Yang Army.
In times of crisis, generals like Li Meng and Zhang Ao can only take the lead to boost morale and inspire their soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy.
"kill--"
As roaring roars rang out, the Beiyi Army and the main army of the Chu State, the "Ju Yang Army", entered into a hand-to-hand melee. The astonishing endurance of the soldiers of the Beiyi Army surprised many Chu State soldiers: they had obviously fought hard.
After fighting for several hours, why does this Wei army still have such strong momentum and offensive power?
I have to say that this was all thanks to Wei General Long Ji's brutal brainwashing training against the First Army of the North.
Although Long Ji eliminated nearly 20,000 people from the Northern First Army during those months of training, Long Ji believed that the remaining 60,000 people could fight against Shao Hu's Wei Wu Army.
No, even when their strength was gradually running out, the soldiers of the First Army of the North still charged forward and killed the enemy without hesitation, as if they had no other distracting thoughts in their heads except obeying orders and killing the enemy.
Gradually, a horrifying scene happened. The energetic Juyang Army, facing the gradually weakening Beiyi Army, not only did not block it, but was gradually suppressed.
Seeing this, Gulingjun Xiong Wu's face became extremely ugly, and he cursed angrily: "These losers! What are they doing? Press them up! Press them up!"
Although Lord Guling Xiong Wu's insults humiliated the soldiers of the Juyang Army and stimulated their morale to a certain extent, facing those soldiers of Beiyi who were not afraid of death, the soldiers of the Juyang Army
The generals were still gradually unable to suppress the Wei army's offensive, and were forced back step by step.
"As expected of the "Wolf King"..."
After seeing the disadvantage of the Juyang Army from a distance, Liyang Lord Xiong Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although Guling Lord Xiong Wu was also a stumbling block for him to ascend to the position of King of Chu, at this moment, Liyang Lord Xiong Sheng still decided to support the former. After all, in everything, the overall situation is the most important thing.
"Send the order, our army will go around in a roundabout way and attack the First Army of the North from the flank!"
He waved his hand and ordered.
At the same time, like Xinyang Lord Xiang Pei and Shanyang Lord Xiong Zheng, these princes who led their respective Chu armies also made a decision similar to Liyang Lord Xiong Sheng, outflanking them from two sides in an attempt to encircle them.
The First Army of the North was surrounded.
This makes the situation of the First Army of the North even more critical. Once the army led by Lord Diyang Xiong Shang blocks the retreat, all 60,000 First Army of the North will be trapped in Chu's encirclement network.
Sure enough, Diyang Jun Xiong Shang came, and when he saw from a distance the Northern First Army of the Wei Kingdom that was surrounded on three sides, Diyang Jun Xiong Shang's face turned red with excitement.
You must know that since this battle started, the total losses of the Wei army are far less than 60,000 people. If all the 60,000 Northern Army can be annihilated, I believe it will be a serious blow to the morale of the Wei state.
What's more, the "Northern Xinjiang Expeditionary First Army (Northern First Army)", a Wei army that only appeared in the Yongqiu area after the New Year, is the commander-in-chief of the Wei army and the last support of King Yu Zhao Yuanqi. As long as this army can be defeated,
The remaining hundreds of thousands of Wei troops who besieged his Chu army's camp this time will be defeated, and there will no longer be any obstacle to the front of his Chu army.
"Destroy the enemy and achieve meritorious service right now!"
Di Yangjun Xiong Shang was so excited that he couldn't help shouting.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Diyang army behind him cheered and shouted in response to his general.
But this burst of cheers made Di Yangjun Xiong Shang feel inexplicably surprised: Why is there only this sound?
Out of confusion, he subconsciously glanced back.
After just one glance, his face showed unbelievable horror.
Because he discovered that he had lost nearly 60% to 70% of the 100,000 men under his command. Even at this moment, there was still a group of terrifying monsters massacring the soldiers under his command who were in the rear.
"What kind of monster is that?"
Subconsciously reining in the reins, Di Yangjun Xiong Shang stared behind him in stunned silence.
"Boom——"
Under the dumbfounded gaze of Diyang Jun Xiong Shang, five thousand heavily armed Shangshui Youma heavy cavalry, like five thousand steel monsters, advanced unstoppably in the crowd of Diyang soldiers, trampling and crushing all enemies blocking the front.
broken.
At this time, the Diyang Army was clearly polarized: the soldiers in the front line were rushing towards the North Army with full fighting intent, trying to catch the latter by surprise; while the soldiers in the back line were aware of the powerful force coming from behind them.
Threatened, in fear, he hurriedly moved to the rear in an attempt to stop those terrifying steel monsters, but in the end, he was ruthlessly crushed by those steel monsters.
"That's... the cavalry of Wei State?"
Looking at the military flag of "Wei, Youma" on the Shangshui Youma Army, Diyang Jun Xiong Shang carefully identified it and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Of course he has seen cavalry, but he has never encountered such a powerful... no, such a terrifying cavalry.
"..." He stared dumbfounded at the corpses of Chu soldiers scattered all over the place after Yuma remounted his horse.
They were all the corpses of soldiers from Diyang, and they were scattered all over the mountains and plains.
While he was only paying attention to the Northern First Army in front, this terrifying Wei cavalry quietly came to the back of his Diyang Army, easily defeating 50,000 to 60,000 people.
Fifty or sixty thousand people... how long has it been?
Is there time for a stick of incense?
In just one stick of incense, 50,000 to 60,000 infantry were lost? That was our Diyang Army (the main army), not the ragtag army that recruited soldiers!
Di Yangjun Xiong Shang could hardly believe his eyes, he preferred to think that he was dreaming.
How could 50,000 to 60,000 infantry be completely defeated by thousands of cavalry in just one stick of incense?
Just when he was in a trance, he suddenly heard someone beside him exclaim: "Your Majesty, be careful of the enemy!"
Diyang Jun Xiong Shang was startled when he heard this, and finally came to his senses. At this time, he was horrified to find that those terrifying cavalry monsters that were just a few hundred feet away from him had already reached a very close distance.
Since they were very close to each other, Di Yangjun Xiong Shang could clearly see the essence of those "monsters" - they were actually just cavalry with knights and horses wearing heavy armor.
"Hmph! Pretend to be a ghost!"
Di Yangjun Xiong Shang snorted coldly, and regardless of the dissuasion of the soldiers around him, he brandished the sharp blade in his hand and slashed at a ranger cavalry who was charging towards him.
At this time, the Ranger cavalry also raised his saber.
"A mere pawn!"
Di Yangjun Xiong Shang snorted coldly in his heart, avoiding the oncoming blow and slashing between the lightning and flints, and slashed the opponent's chest with the sharp blade in his hand.
There was just a clang, and the sharp blade in his hand broke on the spot.
"What?!"
Glancing at the broken blade in his hand, Di Yangjun Xiong Shang turned his head subconsciously, and was shocked to see the "cavalry monster" who had been slashed in the chest by him. His momentum had not diminished at all, as if his sword had no effect on the opponent.
.
In an instant, Di Yangjun and Xiong Shang felt terrified.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a guard not far away shouting urgently: "Your Majesty! Be careful ahead!"
"Ahead?"
Di Yangjun Xiong Shang subconsciously turned his head and saw a "cavalry monster" rushing towards him.
"Bang!"
The mount of Di Yangjun Xiong Shang was bumped by the armored war horse under the "cavalry monster". The horrified man saw that the opponent's momentum did not change, but his mount was knocked back continuously, and there was a loud noise.
A miserable scream.
"Bang!"
Another blow, Diyang Jun Xiong Shang's mount was "scratched" again.
But this time, he and his mount finally could not withstand the impact, and were knocked over by the person who hit the ground. Diyang Jun Xiong Shang was knocked into the air.
However, before he landed from mid-air, he saw another "cavalry monster" crashing towards him at high speed.
"Bang--!"
The world was spinning, and Diyang Jun Xiong Shang couldn't figure out what was going on.
With his last trace of consciousness, he only saw a headless corpse, and the brightly colored armor made him feel inexplicably familiar...
"Crack!"
A head flying in the air was caught by a Yuma heavy rider and held high.
"The enemy general "Di Yangjun Xiong Shang" has been killed by my "Shi Jin"!"
A hundred-man general on horseback shouted these words and raised the head of Diyang Lord Xiong Shang high.
The cavalry who assisted him in killing Xiong Shang, Lord Diyang, repeatedly raised their weapons and cheered.
Along the way, many of their companions who were traveling on horseback cast envious glances at them.
You must know that as a member of Yuma's cavalry, it is actually very easy to kill more than ten enemies in a battle, but it is not an easy task to obtain the valuable enemy general's head.
After all, the Yuma heavy cavalry is not allowed to stop and harvest the heads of enemy generals when charging. This leads to the fact that after the Yuma cavalry gallops, although the enemy generals suffer many casualties, these feats are often not certified and can only be counted in the entire game.
On Ma Jun.
If you occasionally get the heads of a few enemy generals, it is definitely due to luck.
"The Chu general "Di Yangjun Xiong Shang" has been killed by our Youma army "Shi Jin"!"
"The Chu general "Di Yangjun Xiong Shang" has been killed by our Youma army "Shi Jin"!"
Shouting these slogans one after another, the Youma army continued to charge forward. The soldiers Diyang encountered along the way were stunned and stunned after hearing these shouts.
You know, Di Yangjun Xiong Shang was also one of the few fierce generals in the Chu State. He was once ranked as the "Three Pillars" with Shouling Lord Jingshe and Xiling Lord Qu Ping, but he died on this battlefield this time?
When the soldiers of Diyang saw that the head held high by Shi Jin, a hundred soldiers of the Youma Army, was indeed the head of Lord Xiong Shang of Diyang, the soldiers of Diyang immediately collapsed.
Even powerful generals like Mr. Xiong Shang died in the hands of these "cavalry monsters". How can we stop them?
With this in mind, the soldiers of Diyang no longer had any fighting spirit and fled the battlefield in all directions.
The collapse and escape of the Diyang Army left the Chu Army no longer isolated between the Youma Army and the Beiyi Army.
Seeing from a distance that the Northern Army was surrounded by three sides, it was still holding on tenaciously at this moment. Even the leader of the Yuma Army, Ma You, couldn't help but secretly praise him.
After all, the generals of the First Bei Army and King Su's Army had always been contemptuous. Even after King Huan Zhao Hongxuan took charge of the First Army of the North, the generals of King Su's Army only looked at His Highness King Huan.
For the sake of the brothers of King Su Zhao Hongrun, he only looked at them differently.
Unexpectedly, this time the Northern Army actually became the backbone of the Wei army, tenaciously resisting the Chu army that was several times larger, which is really admirable.
"dispersion!"
Putting the sword back into its scabbard, the Yuma army leader, General Ma Yu, waved his hands and gave the order to the Yuma cavalry behind him to spread their wings.
In an instant, the 5,000 Yuma heavy cavalry was divided into three, and they rushed towards the center and two wings of the Northern First Army respectively.
As the rumble of horse hooves gradually came from far and near, Li Meng, the commander of the Northern First Army, also noticed the cavalry behind him.
"Yuma? Is he Shang Shui Yuma under the command of His Highness Prince Su?"
Li Meng, who was shocked and delighted, saw the Ranger cavalry split into three from a distance, and one of them was charging towards him. He suddenly understood and shouted loudly: "Make way! Give way! Make way for the friendly cavalry."
!Give in to the wings!"
When the soldiers of Beiyi who were fighting fiercely heard this, they turned around and saw Yuma riding again, and they all retreated to the two wings.
It doesn't require much space. After all, the Yuma heavy cavalry led by Ma You himself only has more than a thousand riders, not to mention that they are arranged in a long snake formation.
Therefore, as long as the Northern First Army makes way for them, the Yuma Army led by Ma You can pass through smoothly.
"Boom——"
Three wandering horse armies attacked the Chu army facing each other.
It has to be said that in front of the Chu army, which was almost all light-armored infantry, Yuma's heavy cavalry was almost an invincible and powerful enemy.
In just one charge, whether it was food, soldiers, or Chu's regular army, they were all defeated by Youma's heavy cavalry. There was almost no difference between the two.
"What is that?!"
"Is it the cavalry of Wei?"
"What the hell is that?"
"ah……"
Amid the panic of the Chu army, You Ma's heavy cavalry marched forward in triumph, while the First Army of the North followed the You Ma army and pursued the victory.
"Boom——"
Zhang Yang's army on the north wing and Peng Li's army on the south wing, these two main armies of Chu were the first to suffer, and were completely penetrated by Youma's heavy cavalry.
Facing the seemingly invincible Yuma heavy cavalry, the grain soldiers who originally fought with the main army finally lost their last bit of fighting spirit and fled in all directions.
They concluded that no one could defeat that terrible cavalry monster.
For a time, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers with grain and food supplies fled, eager to escape from this battlefield.
Looking at the actions of these grain recruits, the morale of the Chu army, which was actually still capable of fighting, dropped sharply because they could not figure out what was the reason why these tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of grain recruits would rather serve as soldiers.
A deserter - You must know that in Chu State, once a deserter is discovered, there is only one way to die.
At this time, the Chinese army in the Chu army's camp, Shouling Junjingshe, stood on a temporary high platform, overlooking the situation on the battlefield.
When he saw You Ma's heavy cavalry defeating Di Yang's army, and when he saw Bei's First Army driving tens of thousands of Chu troops into retreat and rushing back to the fortress, Shouling Jun Jingshe frowned and couldn't help but look a little ugly.
"...Fell into a trap."
Shouling Junjingshe suddenly realized that he had misjudged the character of the Wei army coach.
The commander-in-chief of the Wei army, King Yu Zhao Yuanji, was by no means a cautious and timid person. The other party was far more radical and adventurous than he imagined.
