Liu Zhen led another group of troops to meander behind. He never dreamed that Chen Heng's troops would suddenly switch sides.
Chen Heng was a veteran on the battlefield and had extremely rich battle experience. He knew that Liu Zhen would not be unwary if he led his army to suddenly return. It would be impossible to deceive the camp without losing any soldiers.
However, it was quite easy to surprise or encircle Liu Zhen when he was not prepared, so he informed the soldiers of the three armies that from now on, the entire army would change its flag and change its flag to King Yan, and immediately ordered the entire army to return along the original road and besiege Liu Zhen's troops.
Liu Zhen was indeed fooled. When his scouting horse reported back and found that Governor Chen Heng's army had returned, Liu Zhen also felt a little strange. He quickly ordered the three armies to set up camp on the spot, and ordered his scouting horse to question Chen Heng. Chen Heng replied to him:
, the Yan army has sneaked out of the pass. Now that Daning has been lost and Zhu Jian died in battle, the army should not rush forward any more. It is better to return to Songting Pass to reason with him and ask him to wait where he is and discuss countermeasures together when he arrives.
Liu Zhen was shocked when he heard that King Yan had arrived outside the Pass and had occupied Daning. He set up camp and waited for Chen Heng. As a result, as soon as Chen Heng's army arrived, they immediately surrounded Liu Zhen's camp.
.Anyone who is not blind can see the problem in such a large battle, but it is not so easy to respond. Yesterday we were friendly forces, but today we have become enemies. With such a dramatic change, who among Liu Zhen's soldiers can predict it in advance?
Thinking that the encirclement of Chen Heng's army had begun to take shape, Liu Zhen's army realized that something was wrong.
But at this time, Zhang Yu, who received a message from Saihazhi, led all the cavalry under King Yan and the cavalry of the three Duoyan guards. Zhang Yu led 15,000 troops, and the three Duoyan guards hurriedly gathered 1,000 cavalry each. The total
There were 18,000 people, all of whom were cavalry. Once this new force arrived, thousands of horses and thousands of troops marched to the high hills. The psychological impact on Liu Zhen's army was self-evident.
Liu Zhen's troops were originally smaller than Chen Heng's. Chen Heng had 30,000 troops, while he only had more than 15,000. Once Zhang Yu and Duoyan's three guards arrived, with such a superior force, they could implement a tight siege, and those guarding Songting Pass could
What are the main types of soldiers?
infantry!
Zhang Yu and Duoyan's three guards, with a total of 18,000 cavalry, can attack and become an extremely sharp knife, and pursuit can completely disrupt their breakout, leaving them with no chance of escaping back to Songting Pass. The two armies are facing each other.
Before the battle, the morale of Liu Zhen's army was already exhausted.
Seeing this, Chen Heng smiled slightly, looked around and said, "I'll go see Liu Zhen and tell him to surrender."
All the generals on the left and right were moved, and Xia Xun was also surprised and said: "Old General, no, if Liu Zhen detains the old general..."
"He doesn't dare!"
Chen Heng smiled faintly, tossed his long beard, and said calmly: "I know Liu Zhen very well. Liu Zhen is not a reckless person. He should know that holding me captive will never solve his dilemma. This man is a good general."
, if it can be used by His Highness King Yan, it will be of great help to His Highness."
After that, Chen Heng did not listen to the others' advice and rode alone on his horse towards Liu Zhen's camp.
No one in Liu Zhen's camp recognized Governor Chen. When they saw him riding alone, the Ming troops guarding the camp gate silently lowered their bows and arrows and quietly moved to both sides. The soldiers in the formation looked at each other and disappeared.
The superior officer gave the order. Seeing that Chen Heng was already in front of him, he acted on his own initiative and moved out of the way with a swipe of the ground.
Liu Zhen, who was standing on the general platform formed by Chinese military vehicles, saw this situation and secretly smiled bitterly. He knew that the morale of the army was really unusable, so he couldn't help but secretly make a decision in his heart.
Chen Heng rode alone to the general platform formed by military chariots, reined in his horse, and stood up.
Liu Zhen pressed his sword and asked: "What's the reason for the governor to trap my camp?"
Chen Hengdao: "His Royal Highness King Yan has indeed escaped from seclusion and captured the city of Daning. After receiving the secret letter from King Ning, the three guards of the Ning Mansion under this governor all turned against him. The soldiers under my command received the letter from the Daning family."
, most of them had different intentions, and I myself fell into their hands. At the same time, there was also a letter written by King Yan to me. You also know that I once served as a general in front of the throne of Yan, and accompanied King Yan to the desert many times.
Bei, in this situation, do I have any other choice?"
Liu Zhen was silent after hearing this, and Chen Heng said again: "General Liu, now you, like me, have no choice. Why let your brothers die in vain? I rode into the camp alone. First, I thought about our robes."
Secondly, I also think that you are a rare good general, and I can't bear to let you sacrifice your life in vain for the internal disputes in the royal family. The autumn of the world is known by the fall of a leaf. After the new emperor ascends the throne, how the imperial court treats my warriors, I think you
I also know very well that at this moment, Mr. Liu must make a decision."
Liu Zhen shook his head: "Thank you very much, Governor Chen, for your kindness. Your Majesty is the seat of authority. Liu Zhen has received the favor of the country and does not want to bear the name of a rebellious minister and traitor."
Chen Heng frowned and shouted loudly: "General Liu, there is great loyalty, and there is also lesser loyalty. Those who are greater loyal are loyal to the country but not the emperor, loyal to the affairs but not the people. Small loyalty is loyal to the emperor but not the country, and loyal to the people but not the affairs."
Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others are just small loyalties. They are short-sighted and do not follow the past. Although they claim to be loyal and good, they are harmful to the country and the people!
Although I am a warrior, I would laugh out loud when I hear that bookworm plans to implement the well-field system. What good things has this sour scholar done since he assisted the emperor? Huh! He has only done two things. One is to change the ancient times.
The official system is grand and grand, and it is just for fame and reputation. In fact, it is nothing more than cutting taxes, laws, and military officials, and adding more literati to the Imperial College and the Imperial Envoy Station;
Another thing is to cut down the feudal vassals, causing uncles and nephews to kill each other, and the world is uneasy. What good things can the court do if it is left to these nerds? I am nearly seventy years old and have been on the battlefield all my life. Do you think I am afraid of death?
If it weren't for the stupid things these nerds did that made me so angry, would I be willing to surrender happily?"
After hearing these words, Liu Zhen's soldiers and officers on both sides were moved. However, Liu Zhen was as stone-hearted and unmoved. He only said: "Captain Chen's golden and good words, but everyone has his own ambitions!"
Chen Heng raised his white eyebrows and said angrily: "Does General Liu really want to use force with me and let my Daning officers and soldiers kill each other?"
Liu Zhen laughed and said: "Captain Chen is Liu Zhen's immediate superior. Now there are an army several times larger than mine outside. Their morale is completely lost. How can Liu Zhen fight? I don't want the soldiers to die in vain."
Chen Heng was a little surprised, his eyes narrowed, and he asked: "Then what does Mr. Liu want to do?"
Liu Zhen said: "Liu Zhen has given all the soldiers and horses in this camp to the governor. He only asks the governor to give Liu Zhen a horse, and Liu Zhen will go and join the imperial court."
Chen Heng was stunned: "General Liu, you know that if you go to the court, even if you are not sentenced to death, it will be difficult to talk about your future."
Liu Zhen said: "If we fight, we will only lose the lives of the soldiers. If we surrender, we will be ashamed of the emperor and the court. What Liu Zhen did is just for peace of mind."
Chen Heng shook his head, nodded again, and finally let out a long sigh: "That's all, you can go on your own!"
He raised his horse and said loudly: "General Liu fought with me and was outnumbered, so he broke through the encirclement alone. Do you hear me clearly?"
The three armies were speechless and hesitated to answer.
Chen Heng was furious and shouted: "You bastards, do you have donkey hair stuffed in your ears? Do you hear me clearly?"
All the soldiers were alert and responded in unison: "Listen, clear!"
Chen Heng dismounted, stroked the horse's mane, and said to Liu Zhen: "General Liu, I will give this good horse to you."
Liu Zhen jumped out of the chariot, turned over and jumped on the horse, gave the soldiers in the camp one last look, and gave Chen Heng a heavy fist. He whipped up his whip, and the horse's hooves "tap, tap, tap..." like beating a Jiegu, in front of thousands of horses and thousands of troops.
Under the gaze, I rode away alone, feeling quite lonely.
Chen Heng shook his head, jumped on the chariot, and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the three armies will follow my orders and send troops to Songting Pass!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Chen Heng was originally the commander of Songting Pass. He led an army of 60,000 men back to Songting Pass in a mighty manner. The guard of Songting Pass had no idea what was going on. He saw that the Governor had just led his troops to leave, and flags and flags were fluttering.
After rushing back, he quickly turned the switch on and off to ask for permission. Chen Heng led his soldiers and horses into Songting Pass, and then summoned the guards to explain the situation.
Now that everything was under his control, what else could the garrison soldiers of Songting Pass say? So the Ming flag was successfully torn down and replaced with the Yan flag. In an instant, Songting Pass was in the hands of King Yan.
King Yan was overjoyed when he heard the news in Daning. His troops were so fast that he did not dare to stay in Daning for a long time, so he grabbed the old seventeenth King Ning, who was as coquettish as his new daughter-in-law getting into a sedan chair, and rushed to Songting Pass together.
Jointly issued a message with King Ning to recruit and surrender the troops garrisoned in various towns.
The King of Yan had 50,000 people, and the Daning Dusi officers and soldiers totaled 80,000. The three guards of Taining, Fuyu, and Duoyan had a total of 5,000 elite cavalry. When the King of Yan returned from Songting Pass to the pass in a mighty manner, the troops were already outnumbered.
Three times that of Guan Shi. What is particularly rare is that a large number of cavalry have been added to the composition of the troops. Among them, the Duoyan Three Guards are the trump card of the King of Yan. In front of the two armies, large groups of armies fight, making such an unparalleled elite force
The cavalry charged directly into the enemy's formation and broke through the enemy's line, playing an unusually important role in victory or defeat.
But King Yan was not in a hurry to return to Peking. When the large group of troops arrived at Huizhou, King Yan suddenly ordered to stop advancing and camped on the spot. They rested here for three days. In three days, King Yan carried out a series of attacks on his nearly 150,000 troops.
After reorganization, the original left, center and right armies were officially established as five armies: center, left, right, front and rear. Each army has two deputy generals on the left and right.
Zhang Yu was commanded by the capital to command the central army, with Li Zhengxiang and He Shou as deputies; Zhu Neng commanded the left army, with Li Jun and Zhu Rong as deputies; Li Bin commanded the right army, with Xu Li and Meng Shan as deputies; Xu Zhong commanded the front
In the army, Chen Wen and Wu Da were the deputies; Fang Kuan was in charge of the rear army, and He Yongzhong and Mao Zheng were the deputies. For veteran generals like Chen Heng who were resourceful and too old, the King of Yan did not want them to charge into the battle, so they all stayed behind.
The king of Yan went to the palace to discuss the great plan.
The three armies were reorganized and given a new look, and military discipline was strict. However, only a few people in the army, such as Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu, the close generals of the King of Yan, knew that the Huizhou Army actually did not only have the fifth army, but the sixth army, and there was another
A special army, the leader of this secret army is Xia Xun.
"Yang Xu, if you hadn't rescued my three sons from the dragon's den and the tiger's den, I would have had no choice but to surrender and kill them. How could I have raised an army to quell Jingnan? If you hadn't cleverly linked up and planned it, how could I have supported Daning's 80,000 elite soldiers?
What has led to today's situation? Soldiers have deceitful ways, and spying on information is by no means a small skill. If used properly, it can defeat a million-strong army.
The king has decided to set up another army in addition to the five armies, called the "Flying Dragon Secret Spy". You will be the leader of the spy army and the lieutenants of the army. You can choose those who are smart and smart. There are also those brought by Da Ning.
There are countless gold, pearls and jade, please use them as you please. No one, including the enemy and myself, above or below, can check them. I also grant you the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. You only have to report everything to me!"
