Xiong Yiliao chose to die in battle. Although his spirit was very respectable, he still could not change the outcome of the Eastern Chu Army. Because the Eastern Chu army fled, many were pushed into the Yingshui River, and four to five thousand people drowned.
When the Eastern Chu army finally returned to Xincai, there were only a little over 9,000 men left, and all the food and supplies were lost. The Eastern Chu Army was preparing to confront the Han Army at Yingshui until the arrival of the Jin Allied Forces. For this purpose, they prepared not only their own food, but also 360,000 food for the Jin Allied Forces, but now it is all cheaper Yang Zilu .
In fact, Yang Zilu was extremely happy at the moment.
¡The Central Army of the Jin Allied Forces¡
"How is that possible! Didn't you say that Dong Chu has an army of 80,000? How can you say that you will lose if you lose?" Zhiyao angrily pointed at Shi Qi, who came from Xincai in person. Shi Qi's defeat completely messed up Zhiyao's plans. How could Zhiyao not become furious?
Shi Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Generalissimo, I don't want to do this either!"
"I don't care whether you want it or not! Now tell me how to win the battle? Originally I was planning to kill the morale of the Han barbarians in Yingshui, but now it's fine! You also gave them a big victory, and their morale is strong. You tell me ! Should I avoid its sharp edge now, or hit the edge of the knife?" Zhi Yao said angrily.
Although Shi Qi also angrily pointed at Zhiyao and yelled, but now that people were under the eaves, Shi Qi could only grit his teeth and endure it silently.
"Okay! Marshal, although there are disadvantages to the Han army crossing Yingshui, there are also advantages! With Yingshui behind it, the Han army will be defeated. As long as we cover up the enemy quickly, we can drive the Han army to Yingshui. , let the Han army be wiped out!" Zhao Wuxie came out and said to Xini.
Shi Qi immediately cast a grateful look at Zhao Wuxie.
When Zhi Yao saw this, he was furious. Zhao Wuxie actually dared to use her as a favor, but that was all! Dongchu doesn't even have many troops, so if he can win over him, it's enough!
Zhiyao waved his hand to Shi Qi. Although Shi Qi was very unhappy with Zhiyao's action as if "if you call it, it will come, if you wave it, it will go", Shi Qi also swallowed the bad breath and pushed it to the side.
Zhiyao glanced at the generals in the tent and said, "Everyone! You also know the current situation! What do you think we should do?"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In the tent, the princes all know Zhiyao¡¯s character. Regardless of looking at his questions, he may actually have made a decision in his heart. Of course, it's not impossible for you to make suggestions, but if he doesn't agree with it, then you have to be prepared to be ridiculed, and it's not uncommon for you to be yelled at. Therefore, the princes in the tent learned the lesson and said seriously: "It all depends on the orders of the generalissimo!"
"Now it takes us four days to get to Xincai! It only takes Yang Zilu three days to get to Xincai! What if we arrive in Xincai in two days? What do you think will happen to Yang Zilu? He will definitely be caught off guard, not to mention defeating the Han army! But there is no problem in defeating the Han army! In this way, the morale of our army will be high, and the morale of the Han army will be low!" Although Zhiyao is annoying, she does have those two qualities.
"This is a great plan, Marshal, but how can we get to Xincai in two days?" Wei Ju stood up and questioned. He was not afraid of Zhiyao. If Zhiyao makes trouble unreasonably, Wei Ju will not accompany Zhiyao all the way to the dark side.
"Military chariot!" Zhiyao was not unsure. "Each troop vehicle carries five soldiers! And we now have four thousand troop vehicles, so we can quickly transport 20,000 soldiers to Xincai! I estimate that after a night's rest, the Han army's forward will come! There will definitely not be many forwards, no more than 10,000 people at most! In addition, Xincai¡¯s more than 10,000 soldiers are three times the number of the enemy. If even this cannot defeat the Han army¡¯s forwards, then they can all kill themselves to thank the world!"
Hearing this, Wei Ju nodded thoughtfully and said, "Marshal, your strategy is good! It's just about who you are going to send to this role!"
Hearing this, Zhiyao secretly cursed Wei Ju as an old fox. Although Wei Ju's words were simple, Wei Ju actually forced Zhiyao to send troops. If Zhiyao sends one of the four ministers to send troops, Wei Ju can definitely say that Zhiyao is killing someone with a borrowed knife. If they were soldiers from other princely states, Wei Ju didn't care. Firstly, the ones who died were not his own soldiers. Secondly, they all knew the posture of the soldiers from other princely states, and they were much weaker than the Jin army.
Use them to fight the Han army. Don't dare to say that meat buns beat dogs. They will never come back. But the chances of success are probably hanging in the balance. If he failed, Zhiyao's face might be completely ruined.
Zhiyao obviously also understood this truth. She glared at Wei Ju fiercely and said, "I'll just send my knowledgeable soldiers out! I just didn't expect that the world-famous warriors of the Wei family turned out to be in vain!"
"You!" Wei Ju immediately became erect when he heard thisRan was furious, and just about to retort, saying that Wei's soldiers should go out to fight,
Wei Ju felt a hand on his shoulder. Before Wei Ju could turn his head, he heard Zhao Wuxie's voice. "Don't be nervous, the marshal is just joking!"
Wei Ju also realized that Zhiyao was motivating him. Wei Ju snorted coldly, raised his head and stopped talking.
When Zhiyao saw the duck flying away, he was so angry that he almost had a fit. However, considering the current situation, Zhiyao could only glare at Zhao Wuxie fiercely. Zhao Wuxie turned a blind eye to this and sat upright, as if what just happened had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, Zhiyao gritted her teeth with hatred, but there was nothing she could do against Zhao Wuji. You say let¡¯s start the fight! Although Zhao Wuxie was not as powerful as Zhiyao, he had no problem retreating. As a result, the coalition finally formed will face disintegration. Zhiyao didn't want Jin to take advantage of Yang Zilu in the end, so in the end Zhiyao had no choice but to endure this tone.
At the end of the combat meeting, Zhiyao sent his family's most powerful general, Zhikuan, as the vanguard, and his younger brother Zhiguo as the main general. They led 20,000 Zhishi private soldiers and marched to Xincai in military vehicles.
Because it was already late at night when the Zhi family's private soldiers arrived at Xincai, the Han army scouts were unaware of this situation. At noon the next day, the vanguard of the Han army took the lead in arriving at Xincai City.
The Han army had clear flags, bright armor, and high morale. Although the number of soldiers was less than 10,000, they seemed not to be afraid of Xincai City with its thick walls.
Zhiguo is one of the few knowledgeable people among the Zhi family. Although he is not as intelligent as Zhiyao, he is worse than Zhiyao because he has self-awareness and is never arrogant. Because of this, although Zhiguo was three times the enemy, he was not arrogant and immediately sent troops to attack the Han army with overwhelming force. Instead, he came up with a strategy. Zhiguo first sent an Eastern Chu army of 5,000 people out of the city to fight.
Although the Han army wondered if the Dongchu army had a fever, they would not be polite because of this, and they would not be lenient at all when it came time to launch an attack. There is no doubt that the demoralized Dong Chu army was defeated by the Han army after just a confrontation. The Dong Chu army hurriedly retreated towards the west gate.
Zhiguo still looked calm when he saw this. No matter how rubbish the Dong Chu Army was, he was already prepared.
The Han army came from the south gate. When they saw the Dongchu army retreating around the city, their foreheads felt hot and they didn't care about anything. Pioneer Yu Yang waved his spear and led the Han army to cover up the defeated Dong Chu army. Just as the Han army was encircling the city to the west gate, a majestic drum beating suddenly sounded from behind.
It was none other than Zhiguo who led 10,000 Zhishi private soldiers in formation to intercept the Han army's return.
When Yayang saw this, he was immediately startled and confused. At this moment, there was a sound of drum beating in front of him. He turned his horse's head and looked over, but there were ten thousand private soldiers of the Zhi clan. The leader was Zhi Kuan, the number one general of the Zhi clan.
But at this moment, Yaoyang was in pain. To the east was the west gate and city wall of Xincai, and to the west was Rushui. The two narrow exits in the north and south were blocked by the Zhi family's private soldiers. The current Han army is like a mung bean wrapped in cloth, and the two ends of the cloth are tied with ropes.
Although Yang Yang greatly regretted that he had trusted him so much, at this time, he could not tolerate regrets. Ya Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Yu Cuo!"
Hearing this, a young man who looked sixty-seven times similar to Ya Yang rode up to Ya Yang and asked, "Father! I'm here! What's the matter?"
"Yu Cuo obeys the order!" A flash of love and regret flashed in Rui Yang's eyes, but it soon turned into determination.
"No!" Hearing this, Yu Cuo immediately straightened his face and obeyed the order solemnly.
"At this moment, you immediately lead eight thousand people to charge south and break out of the encirclement! Do you understand?" Mu Yang solemnly ordered with a straight face.
"No!" Yu Cuo responded solemnly, and after a while, he asked with some hesitation: "Then, what about you, father?"
"Of course I will stay here as a rear guard!" Mi Yang seemed not to know the danger of this matter, and was very calm when he spoke.
"No! How could this be possible? Father, please let your child take the throne instead of you!" Hearing this, Yu Cuo was shocked. This is the queen! It¡¯s simply life-threatening!
"This is a military order! Do you want to repeat to your father what you learned in the school?" Yang Yang glared angrily and said sternly.
"Yu Cuo didn't say anything, just biting her lower lip with her teeth until blood came out, but she still didn't let go.
Rui Yang sighed, reached out and patted Rui Cuo and said: "This time I brought the soldiers into danger! Even if I take them back, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape punishment! It's better to die on the battlefield than to be punished. ! In this way, His Majesty will also remember our family¡¯s contribution to the empire! Don¡¯t be stubborn! Listen to your orders!¡±
"Promise!" Yu Cuo raised his hands??Clenched his fists and responded loudly.
"Take the tiger talisman and go down!" Rui Yang handed the soldier talisman around his waist to Yu Cuo without saying a word, but took one last serious look at Ru Cuo. Mu Yang immediately went to the rear and commanded two thousand soldiers to march to the rear. As soon as the two thousand Han soldiers in the rear listened to the order, they knew their fate, but they did not panic, but waited for the battle with calm faces.
"Kill!" The eight thousand Han troops roared like a thunderous roar, using the cavalry as a cone, they slammed into the formation of Zhishi soldiers guarding the south. All the Han soldiers knew that in order to allow them to retreat, the two thousand comrades behind them paid the price with their lives. Their hearts were very painful, and they could only cover up their pain by fighting, and they also wanted to prevent the sacrifices of their comrades from being ineffective.
"Reject the horses!" Zhiguo ordered calmly. Even though he admired the Han soldiers in his heart, it still did not affect what he wanted to do.
"Roar!" The Zhi clan's private soldier roared, and put down the spear, Chang Ge, and Long Beryllium in his hand. A metal jungle that seemed impregnable was formed in front of the Han army's formation.
"Kill!" The Han cavalry were not afraid. They roared perhaps the last time in their lives. The Han cavalry in front charged without fear, and in order to make the horses run faster, they stabbed the horses' buttocks with their weapons. The stinging pain caused the war horses to ignore the fear brought to them by the metal jungle, and instead launched a charge as fast as the wind.
Even Zhiguo, who had always had a calm face from the beginning of the war until now, couldn't help but be moved by the madness and position of the Han cavalry.
The cavalry crashed into the metal jungle without any suspense. Broken spears, spears, and spurting blood were thrown into the air. Without exception, the cavalry and the horses were equipped with at least three long-handled weapons. However, the cavalry were not afraid of death. Instead, they had a slight smile on their ferocious faces and a strange expression, which made the defending Zhishi private soldiers I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
The following Han cavalry did not hesitate to rush into the Zhishi's private formation. At this moment, the Han cavalry in the front row had torn open small wounds with their own flesh and blood. Now these Han cavalry just need to tear these wounds wider, and they will not hesitate to pay their lives for this.
"Kill!" Yucuo took the lead. The spear in his hand had already been broken when he charged into the formation. He was now holding a slender saber. In the intensive private war between the Zhi family, waves of bloodshed were set off.
Zhishi is an elite soldier after all. Although many people are frightened, they still hold on and keep wielding the weapons in their hands. But the morale of the Han army was not low because of this. Instead, they became more fierce as time went by. The Zhi family's private soldiers began to feel a little unable to resist. After all, just because they were soldiers didn't mean they were not afraid of death.
"Kill!" Yu Cuo waved his hand, and with a click, the saber in his hand suddenly disconnected. Before Xiu Cuo had time to worry, he suddenly found that the front of him was empty. Looking back, Xiu Cuo found that he had broken through the battle formation at some point.
But Xicuo couldn't be happy, because he had to pay for it with the lives of his father and two thousand Han warriors. If he had a choice, Yucuo would rather die on the battlefield. Only in this way could he feel better.
"Major General! Let's go!" A cavalryman also rushed out of the battle formation. Seeing that Xiu Cuo was in a daze, he no longer cared about his dignity. He used his long knife to swat Xiu Cuo's crotch and lower the horse's buttocks.
Only then did he return to God, and Acu did not pull the horse's dang. He just turned his head and looked at the battlefield that was still fighting. He seemed to see his father's mountain-like back. Although his father was covered in blood, he still fought without fear. Xicuo didn't know when her face was filled with tears. The tears were mixed with the dust and blood stained on her face, which was indescribably bitter.
