The coalition forces were chasing the remnants of Zhao Yang's troops. They were not marching in formation, and due to terrain factors, the troops were either a little crowded or a little scattered.
While they were marching, a rain of arrows suddenly hit them in the woods not far away. Many soldiers were hit by arrows before they had time to react.
Someone shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!"
Then someone shouted: "We're ambushed!"
Because we did not know in advance that there were enemy troops nearby, the troops were naturally ambushed when they were attacked.
The coalition troops who were confused about the situation panicked when they heard the word "ambush". They were hit by waves of arrows, and then the sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels became more and more clear.
This time, the Zhi family still prayed before the battle. The difference was that it was not said out loud, but just silently in the heart.
The coalition forces formed into a long snake formation were first charged and killed by Zhishi's chariot troops who suddenly emerged from the woods. Then Zhishi's infantry arrived and the coalition army was cut off in the middle.
"Who is coming?" Qi Jun Chujiu asked out of habit, otherwise he could tell from the enemy's uniforms that it was the Jin army, and by looking at the flags, he could also tell that it was the Zhi family's army.
Shijishe saw Zhishi's troops rushing out of the woods and shouted: "I don't know how many enemy troops there are. Should each unit form a formation to resist, or should we evacuate first?"
The party being ambushed will definitely be panicked, mainly because they don't know how many enemy troops are coming and whether there are any follow-up measures. Especially since there are already enemy troops here, they must be worried that their retreat will be cut off.
So, there are too many uncertainties, so the first reaction of people who are ambushed is usually to retreat.
Qi Junchujiu is good at pleasure, knows a little about government affairs or military affairs, but he can't make up his mind in emergencies.
"Your Majesty!" Tian Qi saw that Qi Jun Peijiu was only panicking. Knowing what was going on, he quickly spoke up and said, "I have an army to pursue the Zhao family, so we can't let it go."
Who is this Tian Qi? His surname is Chen, and his ancestors were from the duke family of Chen State. Later he went to Qi State to develop, and became the Tian family because he got a fiefdom called "Tian".
Tian Qi currently holds the title of "Dafu". The prefix of the title is "Tian", and his title is "Dafu Tian". It is an incomplete version of a feudal prince. His status is similar to that of the "Dafu of Handan" in the Jin Dynasty. In terms of autonomy,
No better than the feudal lord of Chu.
This is the founder of the historical "big fight out, small fight in", and is also one of the protagonists of the idiom "public weapon for private use" and "public weapon for personal gain". The reason is that the "out" he presided over was to take public property.
To "out" and "in" is to minimize collecting the full amount that they should have paid from the lender.
After Tian Qi..., or in other words, before Yan Ying's death, Yan Ying asked the monarch to take back the Tian family's right to manage state property. Later, Tian Qi and his descendants used their own assets to play "big fight out" when lending money.
The tricks of "Little Doujin" win people's hearts.
Qi Junchujiu trusted Tian Qi very much, otherwise he would not have listened to Tian Qi's advice and repeatedly sent reinforcements to Fan and Zhonghang families, and later even directly sent troops to intervene in the civil war of Jin.
"Very true!" Qi Junchujiu finally remembered that he had more than 5,000 troops chasing Zhao Yang, and hurriedly said to Shi Jishe: "Fan Qing, can you stop the Zhi family and allow them to withdraw their troops?"
What is this word?
Tian Qi almost raised his hand and slapped his forehead to express his innocence.
"..." Shi Jishe was speechless in his heart. Considering that he would have to rely on Qi State in the future, he endured it and kept winking at Tian Qi.
The Zhishi who fought out of the woods took advantage of the fact that the coalition forces did not react and cut off the long march of the coalition forces. At the same time, they followed the orders of the drums and dispersed to attack more enemy troops. They basically used "brigades" as combat units.
Fighting broke out in too many places, and without enough judgment, it would be hard to tell how many troops Zhishi had come for a while.
As for the coalition forces who were suddenly attacked, they were panicked and did not receive any orders from their heads. Not knowing what to do, some coalition forces chose to turn around and run away, while some coalition forces resisted on the spot. It looked simply too chaotic.
.
As a result, Qi Junchujiu, as the nominal commander-in-chief, made up his mind. Whether it was a drum or a flag to send a signal, the coalition forces who received the order wanted to move forward but were blocked by friendly forces who did not know that the order had been conveyed. A small number of them were able to carry out the order.
After the coalition forces stepped forward, they encountered Zhi's troops who were larger in number than themselves and were defeated. The defeated coalition forces rolled up other friendly forces and got into a mess.
After all kinds of chaos broke out in the coalition forces, they were unable to effectively convey orders, even if Sun Wu came!
Qi Junchujiu felt that he was being led along in a confused state. One moment, he was in a chaotic battlefield, and the next second, he was heavily surrounded, and he was still in that state with a large number of friendly troops outside.
Surrounded!
The main reason to blame is that the large banner is too conspicuous. Moreover, Zhiyao only brought two "divisions" of troops. He was able to rely on ambushes to cause the first wave of damage to the coalition forces. Later, he just created chaos and wanted to completely annihilate the enemy forces.
It just depends on whether the other party's brains are able to cooperate.
"Gongsun, Qi Jun, Lu Jun, and Fan Bo all surrounded him!" Zilu was actually covered in blood?
When Zhi Yao saw Zi Lu covered in blood, he asked without questioning the enemy's head: "Is Zhong Yu injured?"
"I'm fine." Zilu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked anxiously: "What should I do?"
Zhi family’s troops surrounded Chujiu, the king of Qi, Chujiu, the king of Lu, and Jishe, the king of Lu. Of course Zhiyao knew this, and he single-handedly commanded his own army to do it.
The current situation is that Qi Junchujiu, Lu Junsong and Shijishe were surrounded by Zhishi's troops, and then this group of Zhishi's troops were surrounded by the coalition forces, which became a kind of mutual encirclement between internal and external enemy forces.
.
Zhiyao looked at the battlefield where the fighting was still going on, glanced at the battle between the Zhao family and the coalition forces in the distance, and said: "Shout, sir, the leader of the Fan family is under siege. There is something unbearable to say. Do you want the coalition forces to surrender?"
"
"Why hasn't the old father entered the scene yet? Once the company does not surrender, can I really kill Qi Jun and Lu Jun? In this way, the two 'divisions' will be gone!" Zhiyao was very anxious and expressed
It's impossible to show it.
Zilu was hesitant to speak, mainly because Lu Junsong was also surrounded, so he gritted his teeth and said "Promise!" before going to carry out the order.
Can Qi Junchujiu and Lu Junsong be captured? In fact, it is better not to capture them if they can, and they certainly cannot be killed.
It's not because we still need to observe etiquette. It's no longer an era when you can't kill the king of a country. Nobles no longer need to hand over beautiful jade if they want to take prisoners.
It’s just right? Who would kill the king of a country unless necessary? Even nobles would not kill him if they could.
Zhishi killed Qi Junchujiu and Lu Junsong. There was no benefit at all. He would have to suffer crazy revenge from Qi and Lu later. Why bother?
In addition, Zhiyao doubted whether Qi Junchujiu, Lu Junsong and Shijishe would choose to surrender. He simply wanted to make the coalition forces stop resisting, even if it was just a stalemate until Zhishen came with his troops, or Zhao Yang resolved the pursuit.
Our own coalition forces are all excellent.
What was about to happen next really caught Zhiyao off guard...
