Chapter 9: Defeat a strong enemy in one battle and become famous as a coach
Chen Cheng, the eldest prince of Chen State, rushed to Pingguan and received a flying letter from Xiang Cheng, saying that he was ready to break out of the encirclement. He made an appointment with himself to march in opposite directions and meet up with troops to support him. Without time to rest, Chen Cheng selected eight thousand light cavalry and marched all over.
Pretending to rush to the direction of Xiangcheng for reinforcements, Chen Cheng was very anxious. However, the Xiang people knew that King Xiang had moved the Qi army to restore the country and were besieging Xiangcheng. People from all over the country also gathered to fight against Chen's army. After coming out of Pingguan, those who were closer to Chen State
The journey went smoothly. After entering the depths of the Xiang land, although there was no large-scale resistance, there were small groups of Xiang people attacking everywhere, and they were greatly delayed. After less than a day's journey, as we left Chen
As the country's border became farther and farther away, Xiang's army resisted more and more, and the army's organization became more and more formal. When he arrived at Yicheng, he unexpectedly encountered the Qi army. Chen Cheng did not dare to advance, so he had to temporarily set up camp and wait.
The army behind came up.
Chen Cheng was discussing matters with his generals in the camp, and the guards sent a letter from Chen Qi. The letter explained that thousands of Chen Jun's forbidden troops broke out and were besieged in Niutoushan.
Conspiracy, please send troops to rescue the prince as appropriate. You must not take risks, let alone come in person. Chen Cheng looked at the map and saw that he was still more than a day away from Niutoushan. If there was no obstruction, he could reach it in one day by traveling lightly, but at this time
The Yicheng Qi army blocked us in front, and there were multiple military attacks along the way. If we advanced with light troops, we would most likely be surrounded by the Qi army. If we were to advance with a large group of people, we would probably have to wait two or three days to reach Niutoushan.
Chen Cheng slapped the letter on the table and ordered the generals in the tent to break camp and set off. He divided a group of troops to guard the Qi army in Yicheng, and took five thousand light cavalry to take a detour and go straight to Niutoushan.
In the evening, Chen Cheng and his tired light cavalry had already seen the dense Qi army camp in front of them. There were torches and bonfires burning in the camp. The black spot in front of them was Niutoushan. Chen Cheng ordered to take a rest and then walked through the Qi army camp.
, rushed up to Niutoushan to meet Chen Qi.
The news that Chen Jun's light cavalry came to the rescue had already been reported to Zilong and Zhuge Qingyun. Zilong and Zhuge Qingyun looked at each other and smiled, "We caught a big fish!"
Chen Cheng's light cavalry rushed into the Qi camp and rushed down the mountain with little resistance. Chen Qi who was on the mountain also received Chen Cheng's flying letter. Seeing the chaos of the Qi army at the bottom of the mountain, he hurriedly sent an order to the troops and quickly gathered to charge into the Qi army camp.
The two Chen troops met at the Qi camp. When Chen Qi saw the eldest prince, he had no time to greet him and quickly urged the troops to attack outwards immediately. The Qi troops' defense was too lax, which already alerted both Chen Qi and Chen Cheng.
Chen Jun's soldiers had not yet woken up from the joy of rendezvous. Then they heard loud shouts of killing and torches being lit everywhere. The Qi troops who had been ambushing them rushed out and surrounded more than 10,000 Chen Jun soldiers.
Chen Qi looked back at Niutoushan. There were also torches lit on the mountain. It was impossible to retreat back to the mountain.
From joy to fear, it only took a moment. Chen Qi turned his head and looked ahead. Zilong stood coldly on horseback in front of the Qi army's formation, looking at him.
Chen Cheng tried to organize an assault, but was shot back by the Qi army's bows and arrows. The light cavalry he brought did not bring any defense like shields in order to rush on the road. Under a hail of arrows from the Qi army, the Chen army who rushed forward were hit by arrows one after another.
Both men and horses fell to the ground.
Chen Qi stopped Chen Cheng's plan to attack again and rode his horse to the front of the formation. Now he had no other choice but to fight to the death. He only hoped to defeat the commander of the Qi army in front of the formation to boost his morale, and then rushed over in one go.
, whether he can break out of the siege depends on God's will. He cannot let the eldest prince take danger easily, even if he risks his own life, he must protect the eldest prince to break out of the siege.
Zilong looked at Chen Qi and asked: "Old General, should you fight or surrender?"
Chen Qi raised the sword in his hand, "No need to talk nonsense, first defeat the sword in my hand!"
Lu Kuan, who was beside him, had already rushed forward, waving the spear in his hand and rushed towards Zilong. Zilong stopped several generals around him and urged his horse to come forward. The two spears fought together for several rounds.
At the moment when the two horses kicked off, Zilong handed the gun to his left hand, leaned to the right, reached out to grab Lu Kuan's belt, and threw him off the horse. Then he turned back and pointed the big gun at Lu Kuan's throat.
Later, the Qi army came up and kidnapped Lu Kuan and escorted him back to the formation.
Chen Qi saw that Lu Kuan was captured after less than ten rounds in front of Zilong's horse. Knowing that other generals were no match for Zilong, he had to sell his old bones and fight Zilong to see if he could
Fortunately, he won. He stopped the generals who wanted to come forward. He said to Li Wenming and Gongsun Xiao in a low voice: "I stepped forward to fight with him. After entangling him, you rush out with the eldest prince. Whatever you do,
Protect the eldest prince well." After saying this, without waiting for their reply, he rushed towards Zilong with his sword. Zilong also rushed to the front of the mountain and stood with Chen Qi. Although Chen Qi was old, he was skilled in swordsmanship and could kill
Fa Laolian, Zilong didn't want to hurt him, and he didn't try his best. The two fought for five or six rounds, and Chen Qi had time to turn around and shout: "Hurry up and leave!"
Gongsun Xiao and Li Wenming waved their weapons together and rushed over with Chen Jun.
The Qi army's crossbowmen first fired with bows and arrows, and then the cavalry attacked head-on. The two sides were fighting in a melee. The Qi army's shield and spearmen quickly formed a shield and spear formation and were still surrounded tightly by the Qi army's light cavalry.
, they were shot to death by arrows and crossbows from a distance, and they were all stabbed to death with spears when they came closer.
Li Wenming and Gongsun Xiao tried their best to protect Chen Cheng and rushed out. Finally, they broke out a bloody path from the flanks and fled towards the direction of Chen Guo while protecting Chen Cheng. The Qi army immediately had troops to fill the gap and continued to surround and kill the people trapped in the formation.
Chen Jun didn't seem to care about Chen Cheng who escaped.
Chen Cheng, escorted by Li Wenming and Gongsun Sheng, rushed out of the Qi army's siege and rushed out for more than ten miles. When he saw that there were no pursuers, he reined in his horse. He looked back at the Qi army camp behind him, where a fierce battle was going on. Chen Cheng
When he was about to go back, Gongsun Sheng held him tightly, "Prince, the old general has his own plan to escape. Let's leave quickly. Maybe we can distract the Qi army and reduce the pressure on the commander-in-chief." Chen Cheng thought about it.
Helpless, seeing that there were less than a thousand people rushing out around them, it was no use to go back as moths rushed to the flames. The three men and the remaining soldiers hurried forward again, and came to a forest, when they suddenly ducked out of the forest.
A group of men and horses came out and torches were lit, but they were ambushed by the Qi army.
Chen Cheng gritted his teeth and shouted to Chen Jun beside him: "Charge!" He then rode his horse and rushed over. Gongsun Xiao and Lu Kuan hurriedly followed. This ambush was arranged by Xiao Zhuge, and the leader was
General Zhang Yankun of the Qi Army led a thousand light cavalry and a group of scratching hook hands to ambush in the woods. He was bored when he saw a group of people coming from afar on the opposite side. Knowing that it was Chen Jun who had escaped, he couldn't help but admire the military advisor in his heart. He hurriedly
He ordered to light a torch and stopped on the road. At this time, he saw Chen Jun rushing over, and he shouted and waved his sword to greet him. This Yankun is known as the Qingzhou Tiger. The sword in his hand weighs a hundred kilograms. He has the courage of ten thousand men. The two armies
There were few opponents in front of the battle. Seeing Chen Cheng's spear thrust towards him, he slashed past with the sound of his broadsword. Chen Cheng had been running around for several days and was exhausted. In addition, he was not careful about the heavy weight of Zhang Yankun's broadsword. The spear and the broadsword were shaken when they touched each other.
His arms were numb, and he lost his spear. Gongsun Xiao and Lu Kuan were about to rescue him, and several generals of the Qi army had already come to greet him. Zhang Yankun saw that Chen Cheng was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and knew that he was a big shot, so he grabbed Chen Cheng and threw him
When he got off the horse, he was tied up by the Qi Army primary school commander who came up. Gongsun Xiao was shocked when he saw Chen Cheng being arrested. Without paying attention, he was hit in the shoulder and back by a Qi Army general's gun swung at an angle, causing him to fall off his horse.
When Lu Kuan was about to return to his horse to rescue him, a few scratching hooks below him caught the horse's hooves, and both the man and the horse fell to the ground. They were also tied up by the Qi army. The remaining Chen army saw that their general was captured, and the morale of the army was even more chaotic, or they were killed.
Some were captured, and those who escaped occasionally had conflicts. The rest abandoned their helmets and armor amidst the Qi army's shouts of surrender, and had no choice but to abandon their weapons and surrender.
There was still smoke everywhere in Xiangcheng, the doors and windows on both sides of the streets were incomplete, and arrow feathers and broken blades were still stuck on the roofs and walls, but the streets had been cleaned, and thousands of Xiangcheng people gathered in front of the palace. Chen Jun was driven away
After leaving Xiangcheng, Xiangcheng fell for more than a month, and they welcomed back their old master Xiang Wangyan, as well as Qi Si, Wuyou King of Qi State, and the Qi State army he brought with him.
Although the war has not yet been extinguished, Chen Jun's reinforcements are still marching towards Xiang State. But King Xiang needs Xiang City to announce his return to his people now.
Xiang Yan was neatly dressed and standing majestically in the main hall of the palace. The midday sun shone on this capital city that had just experienced the baptism of war. When Xiang Yan raised his hand and signaled to his subjects, His Highness, in front of the palace, inside Xiang City
, praises rang out one after another, and the cheers shook the sky.
King Wuyou stood beside King Xiang, accepting the admiration of everyone. He looked at the crowded crowd in front of him, and looked at the excited faces. There were old people, children, and more young and strong soldiers.
Bing. King Wuyou sighed with emotion, thousands of people, who are you cheering for, who are you praising?!
A celebration of the restoration of the nation was held in the city. Outside the city, the Qi army was ready to go. Tens of thousands of Chen Jun's troops had marched into Yicheng. The Qi army and Xiang army garrisoned in Yicheng had all returned to the city and were ready. This time with Chen Jun and Xiang Jun.
In the battle of the city, Chen Cheng, the crown prince of the Chen State, and Chen Qi, the general marshal of the Chen Army, were captured. Nearly 50,000 generals and soldiers were guarded in the camp by the Qi army. The news of the great victory was also sent back to the Qi State, and the whole country celebrated.
The King of Qi has ordered Prince Qi Yi to set off today to work for the army.
The news of the complete annihilation of Chen Jun in Xiangcheng also reached Chen State in a few days. The Chen Army outside Yicheng quickly withdrew to Pingguan. The Chen Army in Xiang State also withdrew completely. In this way, Xiang State celebrated
The activities were carried out in various places. On the one hand, King Xiang sent people to several big cities to inform the people, and on the other hand, he discussed with King Wuyou about the reorganization of the project team.
The Qi army received a hero's welcome in Xiang State. At the military camps outside Xiang City, by the Wen River, and near Niutou Mountain, people kept coming in droves to bring food, clothing, supplies or local specialties. Some of them
Xiao Erlang also ran to the military camp to watch Qi Jun's drill.
The war that had been going on for days suddenly stopped, and the whole world seemed to become festive all of a sudden. People celebrated happily while busy restoring construction.
In addition to accepting the praises of his subjects with King Xiang in the palace of Xiangcheng, Wuyou King Qi Si also went to various military camps to comfort his soldiers. In this battle, the Qi army defeated the powerful enemy and won a complete victory. The military power was shocked.
The morale was high. Wherever King Wushu went, cheers were heard everywhere, and the soldiers also had a new understanding of their young prince: although he had never gone into battle to kill the enemy, he knew people and was good at handling them; although he was noble,
Although he is a member of the royal family, he treats his soldiers like brothers; although he is the commander-in-chief, he does not take credit for himself, but asks for credit for the entire army, and rewards the three armies for days. Especially when word spread in the army that a soldier had an appointment with the prince and was the first to attack Xiangcheng.
, it turned out that the prince actually went to the military camp to celebrate with him, called him a warrior, poured wine for him, and promised to personally send him to Qi State's most glorious Huben Camp after returning to Qi State; every soldier hoped to see this with his own eyes.
The royal family, who could only look up to the noble family, hoped to drink the wine that he poured for them personally.
In a short period of time, Qi State, Chen State, Xiang State and several surrounding countries all knew that Qi State had a young prince who was a young hero.
