There were soldiers fighting everywhere, either fighting the enemy or killing each other.
This was a sudden attack. At first, they didn't know who the enemy was. Many soldiers attacked anyone who came close to them out of fear. Later, more soldiers didn't know who the enemy was, and it turned into a chaos.
There is a term specifically used to describe that situation, called Yingxiao.
Wei Ju suddenly had the Chu, Zheng, Yue, and Song armies unite to attack him. At first, he actually believed that those countries had really united.
After all, the strength shown by the Jin State this time is too strong, which will indeed make the various princes feel jealous, and will make the princes unite in fear, and then take risks to suddenly attack the Jin army.
Wei Ju was trying to save others by his own example. He believed that if he encountered such a situation, he would not choose to sit back and wait for death.
What happened next was a little strange!
Although there was not much information reaching Wei Ju, he still found that the camps of various vassal states were attacked, and the attackers and the attacked parties were not fixed. To put it simply, it was thought that a certain country was alliance with whom, but both sides also fought.
Got up.
It was really too confusing, and it was impossible to tell the difference between friends and foes. The only way to tell the difference was to recognize their faces, but not many people were famous enough to be known all over the world, so that most people could recognize them.
Under the thunderstorm night, fighting broke out everywhere, and many people were confused from beginning to end.
Some people thought they had received reinforcements, but they were indeed wearing their own uniforms, but when they got closer, they actually launched an attack.
What is going on!
It's okay if the enemy comes to fight, but our own people..., no, they are not our own people, they are enemies in disguise.
Time and time again, someone pretended to be reinforcements and then attacked me? In this way, unless an acquaintance led an army to come for reinforcements, who would dare to easily believe that they were reinforcements?
Even if they are acquaintances, it is inevitable that they will start fighting at the beginning. It is very difficult for the principals of both parties to recognize each other to stop the fighting.
Many times the fight was stopped, only to find corpses or injured people lying on the ground, making the two of them want to cry after recognizing each other.
The princes accepted Jin Junzhe's invitation to go to the banquet, and many key officials also went there. The troops who broke out in the war did not receive orders from the top, and had to attack anyone who came close.
"Lord, there is an attack in the west, and a large number of Zheng troops are coming to kill!" Uncle Jian may have moved too fiercely at one time, and the hairpin fell off, leaving his hair disheveled.
Wei Ju stood up suddenly, as if thinking of something, he slowly sat down again and asked: "Still unable to get in touch with Yao?"
Wei Zhi replied: "The Zhi family's camp is also under attack. Those who dare to approach will be attacked!"
The old Wei family is also in the same situation now. Unless someone from a certain family who is known to too many people appears, they will not accept the other party's approach at all.
In fact, you can ask the other party to disarm and then come in. Wei Ju has indeed done that. The terrible thing is that the other party is confirmed to be a fake after coming in, or suddenly becomes violent, making it difficult for strangers to be trusted again, and acquaintances also have a lot of trouble.
of defensiveness.
With that kind of situation happening on Wei's side, Wei Ju thought that Zhi's side must have had a similar experience, and it became too difficult to get in touch with each other.
The shouts of killing could be clearly heard in the distance. Wei Ju knew that the Zheng army was coming in large numbers. Fortunately, the Wei family's initial cannibalism was suppressed quickly, otherwise things would have been terrible.
The various families in the Jin State did not join forces to camp in one place, but each family chose an area to camp in. Compared with the camps of other princes, the various families in the Jin State were closer to each other.
Because it was impossible to figure out how many Zheng troops were invading, Wei Ju naturally had no way of letting his own troops push back. He was even careful not to mobilize too many troops to gather to the west, not only to prevent his own troops from getting into chaos again, but also to prevent them from getting into chaos again. We are also worried that enemy troops will attack from other directions.
Wei Ju was suddenly startled by an explosion. He turned around and looked over. What he saw was a flagpole that was on fire due to thunder and lightning. Dozens of people were lying around below, and it looked like it was smoking!
This made Wei Ju's heart beat wildly as he originally wanted to get on the Chao Chao to watch the Zhi clan's camp. He was glad that he only had that idea and didn't actually act on it. If he got hit by thunder again, he would be infamy for thousands of years.
The rain was a bit heavy, and water was flowing down the tall flagpole. When it was struck by lightning, the current would definitely be directed downwards. How could the people standing around not be unlucky?
To survive, when Wei Ju was looking at the stream in the distance, another bolt of lightning struck the stream. In an instant, it seemed as if several bombs were dropped. The stream water was splashed by the explosion in the flash of electric light, and the water in the stream rolled violently. , the maximum height of the splash was almost ten meters!
Oh my god!
It’s simply too scary!
Anyone who looks at it will tremble in their guts and feel extremely lucky that they are far enough away.
If you are an experienced fisherman, you might think at that moment how many fish were killed?
"The one who was hit was my general's flag?" Wei Ju had a very bad premonition in his heart.
It must be said that Wei Ju's hunch was correct.
Si Hong, the general of the Zheng State, stabbed a Wei officer to death with his own hands. He used the flash of lightning to see that there were not many Wei troops in front of him, and shouted loudly: "The survival of the Zheng State depends on tonight, kill me!"
More than 34,000 people came, and the main target of their attack was the Wei family.
No matter who submitted the book, the content written in the book is very reliable. Zheng Guo must defeat the Wei family, and even if it is not completely annihilated, it must strive to eliminate more.
The reason? It is the Wei family who has repeatedly targeted the Zheng State. As long as it causes more and greater losses to the Wei family, it will only be a good thing for the Zheng State.
Maybe, just maybe, we can stop the Wei family from continuing to target Zheng Guo, right?
Can the rulers and ministers of the Zheng Kingdom, who have a clear enough understanding, not be red-eyed and fight against the Wei family?
And what is the most important point? It is that in a battle in this kind of weather, Wei's advantage will be completely offset, the leather armor will be soaked with water, and the formation will not be able to be set up.
What is the advantage of the Jin army? Apart from the difference in equipment, the main reason is that the discipline of the Jin army is very good, and the formation of military formations is far more rigorous and less likely to collapse than other countries.
In the chaos of the battle, the two sides were in a state of being evenly matched. If Zheng Jun was willing to fight hard, maybe he could win?
"Report! The Chu army from the south is coming to kill!"
Wei Ju heard the sound of "Duang" in his head, which finally calmed him down.
What's the situation? Why did the Chu army take the initiative to attack the Wei family...or in other words, why did they take the initiative to attack the Jin army?
That was outside Wei Ju's sight. There was a "Wei army" who attacked the Chu army first, and there were assassins who asked to see Chu Junzhang in Wei Ju's name and then failed to assassinate him.
Duke Yin Bai Gongsheng of the State of Chu was an angry man. He was attacked and his monarch was assassinated. How could he not take revenge?
"Retribution! Zhishi is attacking!"
Wei Ju's eardrums were echoing the sound of his own heartbeat.
Not long after...
"Report! The Han family is attacking!"
Later, someone came to report, the Hu family, the Zhong family, and even the Song army, the Yue army... Anyway, one side was taking advantage of the other. It seemed that the whole world had become enemies of the Wei family, and came together to attack.
"Hahaha!" Wei Ju burst out laughing.
How can you still laugh when the situation is so bad?
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Wei Ju said calmly: "How virtuous and capable is the Wei family, that he can be the enemy of the world? Someone must have set up this mess, Yao, Geng... all the kings, all
This happened."
In other words, it was definitely not just the Wei family that was besieged, the others also encountered the same situation.
I should say it’s almost the same, right? It’s just that the largest number of troops launched an attack on Wei.
It is true that there were 34,000 Zheng troops and about 10,000 Chu troops. Zhishi used 20,000 troops including disguises and arrayed troops to attack.
There is also a Zheng army of about 30,000 that is approaching the battlefield as fast as possible. They will also attack Wei immediately after their arrival.
Then, if the situation does not change, a total of nearly 100,000 troops will besiege the Wei family.
As time passed, the development of the situation made Wei Ju, who had repeatedly received battle reports from various places, feel that something was wrong.
In the chaotic situation, it is difficult to transmit a lot of information, and many parts of the country are even out of contact.
None of the battle reports that could be delivered to Wei Ju were good news. Either a certain camp was captured, or a certain camp could no longer hold its support.
What caught Wei Ju's attention the most was that the enemy army "pretending" to be Zhi was very powerful. They continuously attacked the city and pulled out the strongholds, and four of the camps had already fallen.
Zheng Jun tried his best and achieved much better results than Zhishi, which made Wei Ju just confused and did not finally confirm that Zhishi's troops were not fake at all.
Although he was still in the "fog of war" situation, Wei Ju still felt a deep sense of crisis: "We can't remain so passive! If we continue, the enemy will hit the central camp."
Could it be that Wei Ju is too stupid? Until now, I still haven’t realized that Zhiyao planned all this.
Not really!
No one has done this before. After encountering this kind of situation, it is really important to see if there are any relevant examples to draw from.
Otherwise, how can we say "Learning from history"? It means to be able to apply what happened and then get the truth.
Wei Ju began to make arrangements, hoping to gather an elite force of three thousand to protect him and break through to the Zhishi camp.
They knew in advance that the princes were in Zhi's camp, and they took it for granted that in order to resolve the current chaos, they needed to meet with the princes first.
Therefore, not only Wei Ju wanted to go to Zhi's camp, but some people had already taken action.
Judging by their strength, many people who wanted to go to the Zhishi camp had poor self-protection capabilities. When they met someone with red eyes who was killed halfway, they just fought hard without asking who belonged to them, and fell down on the way.
Under the protection of three thousand elites, Wei Ju went through many hardships along the way, but the camp close to the Zhi family was blocked. Even if Wei Ju showed up, he was not let in.
"Report quickly, Wei Ju is here!" Cheng Wu's heartbeat was very fast, and he whispered to his confidants to report to Zhiyao quickly.
