Chapter five hundred and sixty-one young generals and veterans
With everything ready, the Zhou army was ready to attack, and they were only waiting for an order from their emperor to start the siege. However, on this day, the Emperor of Zhou only issued an oral order that all the soldiers should stay on standby, and
No order was given to attack the city. Although the waiting was long and boring, the confident Zhou soldiers were full of high fighting spirit. Jinyang City, which was besieged by the Zhou army, could almost be easily won.
A fast flying horse rushed into the Da Zhou military camp, like a pebble thrown into a calm pool, causing ripples in the gloomy atmosphere of the Da Zhou military camp. All the Da Zhou soldiers
I don't know what happened, because the scout of the Zhou army who was galloping on horseback went directly to the camp of the Emperor of Zhou.
Chai Rong was like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth in his tent, and beside him was Zhao Kuangyin with a somewhat worried look on his face. The two of them seemed to be waiting for something, inside the tent
There were only two of them, but the map of Jinyang City in the tent was already spread out on the desk of the tent.
"Report, urgent military information." A loud shout broke the stagnant atmosphere in the camp. Hearing the loud shout, Chai Rong's eyes showed a hint of joy. He and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other.
Everyone knew what kind of military information was reported at this time, and this was also the military information they were eager to know.
"Reported that our army and the Khitan Wolf Cavalry met in a wilderness south of Xinzhou, and the two armies fought fiercely. General Shi Yanchao and Khitan general Yelu Tuo fought fiercely for hundreds of rounds and were unfortunately killed. Yelu Tuo was seriously injured and died.
Unknown. Now the two armies are resting and facing off. Our Zhou army has blocked the Khitan Wolf Cavalry south of Xinzhou, making it difficult for them to advance even half a step."
After Chai Rong listened to the scout's report, his body couldn't help but stagger. When he heard the bad news that Shi Yanchao died in battle, his eyes suddenly went dark. His face couldn't help but reveal a look of great sadness.
Color, the memorial in his hand also fell to the ground unnoticed.
"The Khitan's barbarian and wolfish ambitions have damaged one of our generals today. I would not be a man if I did not avenge this. Shi Aiqing was one of the few founding fathers of the Zhou Kingdom, but he died at the hands of the Khitans. Today I have many thoughts."
Send a few generals to help General Fu to cut off the Khitan barbarians, so that I can dispel the hatred in my heart." Chai Rong urgently ordered to summon all the generals of the Zhou Dynasty to discuss matters, and looking at the generals present, he said with a sad expression.
.
When the generals in the camp heard this, their faces suddenly showed anger. They all asked for orders to lead their troops to Xinzhou to fight to the death with the Khitan army. However, Zhao Kuangyin behind Chai Rong had a dark face, and he used his troops in anger, thinking.
Lack of care often leads to defeat, he couldn't help but think to himself.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done." Zhao Kuangyin urgently asked Chai Rong. He felt that this was not the time to send troops to reinforce Fu Heng. The army was already approaching the city, and it was a taboo for military strategists to divide their troops and go out. If another part was divided,
If the troops go to Xinzhou, then the real meaning of the troops coming to Jinyang City will be lost.
"Oh, why not?" Chai Rong was shocked. He was planning to use troops, but he didn't expect that Shi Yanchao's death made him suddenly lose his mind. Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin reminded him that he finally came to his senses.
There was a strange light in his eyes and he motioned to Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong were sworn brothers with different surnames. Of course he knew what Chai Rong meant by this faint hint. He slowly said to Chai Rong: "Spreading the troops is a taboo for military strategists, and we are waiting for this trip
The purpose is to capture Jinyang City. Although the Khitan army is brave and invincible, General Fu has blocked the Khitan army south of Xinzhou and cannot break through our army's defense line. The current plan is to capture Jinyang City.
Now, as long as Jinyang City is captured, the Khitan army will lose its meaning of existence, and this crisis will naturally be resolved."
Zhao Kuangyin's speech was also approved by all the generals, especially Chai Rong, who felt a sense of joy in his heart. If Zhao Kuangyin hadn't reminded him, then he would have let go of his huge mistake, and then the Zhou army would follow suit.
Because of his wrong decision, he died under Jinyang City.
"Okay, in that case, the generals will listen to the order and attack the city immediately." The aura of the emperor in Chai Rong's body couldn't help but disappear, and his pair of bright tiger eyes contained supreme majesty.
The generals have given orders.
Following the order from Emperor Chai Rong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately formed a formation, the sound of gongs and drums shook the sky and the earth, and a siege battle began.
Looking at the neatly arranged Zhou army under the city, the fake Liu Yu's face on top of the city gate couldn't help but change, and became extremely pale. To say that these tens of thousands of troops were pressing down on the city like a tide, it was so majestic.
The momentum was not something that an ordinary Jianghu martial artist could withstand. His face became a little ugly. He did not expect that the military might exuded by the Zhou army was so terrifying, and the deafening sound of killing was overwhelming.
They surged towards the city wall like crazy.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. At the end of the day, the general will lead his troops out of the city and fight to the death with the Zhou army. If we defeat the Zhou army, it will not solve the siege of the city." A general next to the fake Liu Yu couldn't help but volunteered when he saw his ugly face. This general was
Ding Gui, the general who defended the city of Jinyang City, became the most brave general of the Northern Han Dynasty. After his death in Gaoping, the generals in Jinyang City withered. This Ding Gui can also be regarded as one of the most trusted generals of the Emperor Liu Yu of the Northern Han Dynasty.
one.
"The Zhou army is coming in force. How can we easily get out of the city? We still stick to the main defense. If something happens to General Ding, we will be in real danger in the Northern Han Dynasty." The fake Liu Yu shook his head and said. What he has to do
It is to defend Jinyang City, and he does not dare to think too much about other things. Zhong Jianhong gave him the order to defend Jinyang City. He did not want other accidents to happen. He knew that Zhong Jianhong led the Zhong family martial arts cultivators to leave Jinyang City.
But he didn't know why they left Jinyang City. Before the Zhong family returned to Jinyang City, he could only focus on defending.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. We will go out of the city and kill him for a while. We will definitely gain something. We can also teach the people of Zhou Dynasty to know that there is someone in Jinyang City. Kill the majesty of the Zhou army. Even if we lose, we can withdraw.
, It’s not a problem." Ding Gui replied to the other party with high spirits. Although Zhang Yuanhui was called the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty, Ding Gui would inevitably have some dissatisfaction in his heart. Today, when the Zhou army came to the city, he had some dissatisfaction.
Selfishness. If the Zhou army can be defeated, then the title of the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty will fall on him, and he can legitimately become the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty.
The fake Liu Yu secretly moved in his heart after hearing this. Seeing the Zhou army approaching with great momentum, there are also a large number of defenders in Jinyang City. If Ding Gui can repel the Zhou army, then his status in the Zhong family will also be
A rising tide will lift all boats. Besides, he is not the one taking risks, so why not use others to benefit himself.
"In this case, Ding Aiqing will lead ten thousand troops out of the city to fight against the Zhou army." The fake Liu Yu said with a gleaming look. Although he did not agree in his heart that Ding Gui could repel the Zhou army, he was lucky.
Everyone has it. If this miracle happened, maybe, even if Ding Gui was killed by the Zhou soldiers, he would not be blamed, because Ding Gui asked to fight and left the city on his own.
"Boom", a loud noise caused the Jinyang city wall to shake slightly. The thick city gate under the city wall was opened, and a group of people was seen coming out of the city gate. But it was the Northern Han Dynasty.
General Ding Gui, wearing bright armor, rushed out at the head of 10,000 Northern Han troops.
Facing the Zhou army in tens of thousands, Ding Gui couldn't help but feel fearful in his heart. He sat high on his horse, holding a long sword in his hand. The Northern Han army behind him had already set up a formation, and he
He glanced at the Great Zhou Army with his eyes fixed, and saw that the Great Zhou Army was neatly arranged in a tight formation, and a fierce fighting spirit emanated from the array of the Great Zhou Army, which made his heart even tighter. But after all, he
He was a famous general of the generation and a former disciple of the Changdao Sect of the Northern Han Dynasty. He put aside the slight fear in his heart and a brazen aura surged from his body.
"This general is Ding Gui, the general who defends the city of Jinyang. Are you trying to deceive me by raising troops to invade Jinyang? If you are wise, please retreat back to your Zhou Dynasty territory. Otherwise, the sword in my hand will definitely contaminate the blood of your Zhou soldiers."
Blood, so that you can know the reputation of Jinyang City’s defensive sergeants.”
Ding Gui led an army of 10,000 to open up the battle line. He raised his long sword and shouted at the Zhou army. As the saying goes, you can't lose the battle if you lose. Even if the Zhou army is a rigorous and capable division, he will provoke the Jin army.
The morale of the Yang army has increased. The opponent's Zhou army is several times larger than ours. It is necessary to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin stood under the flag gate. They did not expect that as soon as the Jinyang city gate opened, a group of people would pour out of the city. Unexpectedly, before they launched an attack, the generals from Jinyang City came out to fight.
, this was beyond their expectation. It seemed that Jinyang City was not as simple as they imagined.
"Who is going to fight to meet the Jinyang guard Ding Gui?" Chai Rong said to the generals of the Zhou Dynasty behind him. Of course, a mere Ding Gui could not arouse the interest of the generals of the Zhou Dynasty, but there was a figure falling behind the generals of the Zhou Dynasty.
Inconspicuously, he heard Chai Rong's words, and a glimmer of excitement suddenly appeared in his eyes. This man was Gao Chengde. He raised the hunting fork in his hand, rubbed his legs, and rode his horse to Chai Rong's house.
around.
"The last general requested to go to war." Gao Chengde raised the hunting fork in his hand and asked Chai Rong. When he saw the Jinyang guard Ding Gui shouting, he couldn't help but feel unbearable anger. He had always been indifferent to the Northern Han army.
He didn't have any good impressions. After the battle at Tianjingguan, he and Ma Chenghui followed Shi Shouxin, fighting the enemy bravely along the way, and faintly showing the courage of a general.
When Chai Rong saw that it was Gao Chengde who asked to fight, he couldn't help but hesitate. After all, this young man in his early twenties was weaker in terms of experience and strength, but he couldn't refute the opponent's request. This battle
It depends on the momentum of the two armies. If they win, the Zhou army can attack Jinyang in one go. If they lose, the morale of the Zhou army will be affected.
Zhao Kuangyin's eyes also condensed slightly. He still knew about Gao Chengde's strength. He saw the hesitation in Chai Rong's eyes and said: "Your Majesty, General Gao has been fighting the enemy bravely with General Shi in recent days, and now he encountered
Jinyang Guards General Ding Gui can take this opportunity to verify the students taught by General Shi, and then let the other party know that our general, General Ruyun, of the Great Zhou Army is not so easy to bully."
"Okay, ready to fight. Capture the Jinyang garrison who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, so that he can teach the Jinyang garrison the reputation of our Zhou army." When Chai Rong heard this, the hesitation in his eyes immediately disappeared. Zhao Kuangyin also said so.
Logically speaking, Gao Chengde is just a new young general. If he goes to fight, he will not bring any harm to the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he loses, he is just a new general, and there is nothing. If he wins, it will arouse the Great Zhou Dynasty even more.
The morale of the Zhou army.
When Gao Chengde heard this, he immediately accepted the order and thanked him. Chai Rong also allocated 10,000 men to lead him to attack the Jinyang garrison who came out of the city to fight.
"Where did you come from? Don't you have any men in the Zhou army? A mere brat dares to challenge you." Ding Gui took a look and saw that the leader of the Zhou army was a young general in his early twenties. He
