"I've heard about General Wu Xiang's name for a long time, and I got to see him today. He is indeed a hero!" Deyang Hou Zimo looked at the cavalry of no more than a hundred people in the distance. Thinking of the strange luck just now, his heart was filled with hesitation. Be able to open your mouth to compliment, and speak in a probing and authentic manner.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, responsible for the lives of the soldiers above and below him, every decision must be made with 80% or 90% confidence, but he must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.
In particular, this vision of an eagle dripping solid blood is something that has never appeared before.
Since Zimmer is in a high position, he naturally has channels to know that the world has undergone earth-shaking changes in a subtle way.
With many years of fighting on the battlefield, Zimmer has an unusually keen sense of the killing energy of the military formation. He can know that the manifested vision is definitely not some ghost, god or demon, but some mysterious and mysterious phenomenon that occurs in response to the response between the army's formation and the heaven and earth. changes.
However, the soldiers around him did not have this ability. Seeing something they had never seen before, they would inevitably feel a little scared.
So at this time, you must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly!
Thinking of this, Zimmer's eyelids twitched, he made up his mind, and immediately said loudly:
"The purpose of coming here this time is not to tear up the peace treaty between the two countries. Instead, I have received news that there is a rebellion in the Yongzhou camp of your country. You and I have made an alliance and have in-laws. How can we just sit idly by and ignore it? The reason why I personally came to the army is to help your country put down the rebellion!"
He deliberately told about the rebellion in Yongzhou Camp, obviously with the intention of damaging the morale of Di Qing's army. When ordinary soldiers heard this news, they would definitely feel panicked.
"You can know your talents just by looking at the subordinates of General Wu Xiang. If you serve me, Daxia, I would like to personally recommend it to my emperor. My Majesty, the Emperor of Daxia, cherishes talents the most. General Wu Xiang will not hesitate to serve high-ranking marquises. Gold and silver rewards!" Zimmer continued.
"Now that the Yongzhou camp is in rebellion, the general, as the commander-in-chief, cannot escape the blame. Even if you are loyal and brave and return to the Yun Kingdom, His Majesty the Yun Emperor is forced by the public opinion of the government and the public. No matter how much he loves you, he will have to hold you accountable. Instead of that, In this case, it is better to join me in Daxia and find a better future!"
Zimmer's words were actually not words when he was trying to persuade him to surrender, but he was sincere.
Although Qi Mo was not clear about the effect and ability of the military formation's killing energy to manifest the vision, his performance just now was enough to increase the combat power of his soldiers by at least 30%.
With such a method of military training, it does not require much. As long as the Yun State organizes 200,000 such soldiers and horses, the soldiers of the Xia State will probably only be defeated in repeated battles when facing the Yun army!
Therefore, Zimmer really hopes that Di Qing will surrender and bring this kind of military training method to Xia Kingdom!
At this time, Di Qing, who was opposite him, suddenly chuckled and said in a deep voice:
"Marquis Deyang is joking, how can I, the Yongzhou soldiers, be disloyal and unjust? Before the two countries launched a war, the Yongzhou soldiers swore their loyalty to the death. In this case, it is better for the Marquis to go back and talk about it himself!"
When Qi Mo heard this, he frowned slightly.
Just as he was about to speak out again to persuade him to surrender, he heard Di Qing on the other side suddenly interrupt:
"When we meet today, I would like to thank you Lord Marquis for your kind invitation. I will keep this kindness in my heart. If we meet again on the battlefield in the future and change places, I will also be willing to recommend Lord Marquis to your Majesty!"
“See you later!”
After saying that, a group of Yun Kingdom cavalry, led by Di Qing, immediately turned around and galloped wildly.
The decisiveness of his departure caught Zimo slightly off guard.
Seeing the Yun cavalry running further and further away, the Xia Army general next to Zimo immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said:
"General, shall we pursue him?"
"What on earth is that blood-dropped eagle vision? The enemy's situation is unclear, so the general thinks it's better not to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly!"
"Well, I've spent a lot of effort to mobilize troops and horses to come here. If I go back like this, how should I explain to His Majesty?"
"But that vision is really scary. If the soldiers under my command were to face it, they would lose their courage and their combat power would be reduced by 50%..."
In such a game of chess, if Di Qing is let go and allowed to return to the Yongzhou camp to reorganize his troops, I'm afraid he will only lose half of it first!
Qi Mo pondered for a moment, then immediately grasped the riding crop in his hand and shouted:
"He is also jealous of our army. Otherwise, he would never leave so easily at this time. Send an order, never let Di Qing go, chase him!"
Having said this, Zimo paused for a moment and then said:
"The front army forms a fish scale formation, and the rear army becomes a crane wing formation!"
At this time, Zimmer had a steady hand. The fish scale formation was well defended and the cavalry did not often use this formation in order to prevent Di Qing from making a backhand attack. The purpose of the rear army's crane wing formation was to immediately outflank Di Qing's rear and cut off his retreat once Di Qing turned around.
Zimmer has been in the army for many years and has a deep prestige. At this time, with an order, the soldiers under his command marched forward as a whole, even though they were afraid of the vision.
After all, they are the most elite northern cavalry in the Xia Kingdom, and they are constantly fighting all year round. The changes in the military formation are just a matter of a blink of an eye.
The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, like the muffled roar of thunder, heading straight towards the direction Di Qing left.
And just in front, Di Qing turned his head and looked at the Xia cavalry behind him who had only started to pursue for a long time. His heart moved slightly, his horse speed slowed down a little, and he said loudly:
"Move slowly, there are still dozens of miles to go, don't let the other side catch up! Otherwise, we will suffer all this time in vain!"
Although there were thousands of troops and horses chasing behind them, the cavalry, which numbered less than a hundred at this time, had no intention of shrinking back. When they heard Di Qing's words, they even showed a mocking look on their faces and laughed loudly.
The sound of laughter soon disappeared amid the rapid sound of horse hooves.
-------------------
At this time, in front of the Yongzhou camp.
Gu Gao looked at the Yongzhou camp in front of him, his eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.
As long as there is no one in the camp to take charge of the overall situation, he can seize the military power of the army, and then use the imperial court's orders to promote cronies and take control of the army. From now on, in the Yongzhou camp and the four states, he will be majestic and powerful.
The separatist princes are separatist and separatist!
A group of generals who had already regarded Gu Gao as the leader followed closely behind him. Behind him were nearly half of the uncooperative generals who were tied to death by Gu Gao's personal soldiers and confidants!
A group of generals tied up another group of generals and returned. Such a scene really made the soldiers guarding the camp hesitate.
But immediately, Gu Gao accused these generals of triggering military law. In the name of bringing these people back for military punishment, he scolded the soldiers guarding the camp to open the camp gate.
The generals guarding the camp did not dare to disobey and immediately let everyone in.
Without saying a word, Gu Gao led everyone straight towards the commander's tent. After all, at this time, only by obtaining the commander's seal could he mobilize the army in the name of the imperial court.
Gu Gao walked up to the commander's tent and strode in. Just when he was about to excitedly get the commander's seal, his whole body suddenly froze.
Everyone looked into the commander's tent and were suddenly stunned.
Next to the commander's seat, he saw a man wearing armor and whose figure looked familiar to the generals. He was standing upright, standing in front of the map with his hands behind his hands, looking at it carefully.
All the generals suddenly exclaimed, their faces turned pale, and their hearts were beating like drums.
"Big, big, handsome, you, you are back..." someone stammered.
Hearing someone speaking, the figure turned slightly and revealed his face.
When Gu Gao saw this person, he immediately turned pale and felt extremely flustered. He subconsciously took a step back and bumped into his colleagues behind him.
The person who suddenly appeared in the commander's tent turned out to be the former commander of the Yongzhou Camp, the former General Zhendong, and the current General of the Chinese Army Shi An.
Shi An, who was supposed to be in Zhongqing City, quietly returned to the Yongzhou camp without knowing when.
Although the generals who were able to follow Gu Gao were not necessarily very smart, they were obviously very good at understanding the situation. The sudden appearance of their old boss, and the implications behind it, made these people panic and regretful.
Shi An looked around at the generals who broke into the handsome tent, and then turned aside the military robes that were tied up by them. His face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly and said:
"I, the general, have long since resigned as the commander-in-chief of the Yongzhou camp. I cannot bear the honorific title of commander-in-chief!"
His face became even more gloomy and ugly, and his voice rose again as he scolded:
"You entered the commander's tent privately without notification, and are suspected of spying on military aircraft. According to military laws, how should you deal with it?"
Having been in charge of the army for many years, Shi An has accumulated a lot of power. In addition, at this time, he was already on the verge of rage, and his voice was slightly violent and ferocious, making the legs of all the generals present tremble and unable to control themselves.
Gu Gao grasped the weapon at his waist, and had the idea in his mind to call on everyone to come forward, hack Shi An to death, and then seize military power.
But every time those impassioned and impassioned words of appeal came to his lips, he was blocked and unable to say them out.
Not to mention that Shi An has been in charge of the army for many years and has great prestige. Just talk about the fierce energy outside the handsome tent, and you know that everyone is already in a urn at this time, and there is no chance of life anymore.
Seeing everyone trembling and not daring to speak, Shi An became even more furious.
"Tell me! How long have I been gone before I became mute?"
The sound of violent shouting was heard, and only a few "puff" sounds were heard, and several generals with Gu Gao knelt down on the ground, trembling all over and unable to control themselves, and tremblingly saying:
"Back to the commander, ah, no, back to the general..."
"This is called Tanjun..."
"Those who disobey the order...should be killed..."
Shi An's eyes began to turn red and he said sharply:
"Just now, you laughed loudly, flouted the forbidden treaty, and rushed into the army gate. What crime should you do!"
There were a few more "pops" and someone fell to their knees again, trembling and not daring to get up.
"This is called a light army. According to military orders, behead, behead..."
Shi An punched the commander's seat and continued to roar:
"What is the crime if you act recklessly and mobilize soldiers to cause disharmony?" Gu Guan
"What's the crime if you complain a lot, make your commander angry, don't listen to restraints, and make it difficult to control them?"
"If someone hears about a plan or an order and leaks it to the outside world so that the enemy knows about it, what is the crime?"
Every time there was a loud shout, several more people's legs weakened and fell to the ground.
"Those who slander the army should be beheaded! Those who undermine the army should be beheaded! Those who betray the army should be beheaded!"
There are seven prohibitions and fifty-four articles in the military law: light troops, slow troops, steal troops, bully troops, betray troops, rebel against troops, mislead troops, all should be killed!
After three angry questionings, it was revealed that there was a general who was intent on causing trouble, and only Gu Gao was left standing.
Shi An looked at him with stern eyes and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Conspiracy to rebel, what crime should be committed!"
At this time, Gu Gao couldn't hold himself up any longer. He swayed and lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment. He kowtowed repeatedly, with mucus flowing from his eyes and nose, and he was extremely regretful and kept pleading for sin.
"General, General, I have realized my mistake! I am just, just, just looking for a way to survive... For the sake of the fact that I have been fighting for my country for many years, please spare my life!"
"Let you go?"
Seeing Gu Gao's appearance, Shi An began to tremble with anger, and even started to laugh ferociously at the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.
The courage of such a loser is worse than that Buddhist undercover who dared to draw a sword against His Majesty in the commander's tent!
But just by the encouragement of such a thing, nearly half of the generals of the Yongzhou camp were involved, forcing him to kill a group of old troops, Pao Ze.
If he could take action at this time, Shi An could only wish to eat him whole and alive!
At this moment, the sound of several footsteps was heard.
Xiao Yu, the newly appointed magistrate of Yongzhou, held a bright yellow imperial edict and walked slowly into the commander's tent, surrounded by a group of guards at the sticking pole.
When Shi An saw Xiao Yu coming, he stood up and nodded slightly to him.
Xiao Yu slightly bowed his hands and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty has decreed that the general does not need to be involved in what will happen next!"
Shi An couldn't bear to close his red eyes, bowed and said:
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
Needless to say, what happened next was the time to kill the rebellious people. These people were all Shi An's old subordinates for many years, and allowing him to temporarily avoid them was Xiao Cheng's care for his ministers.
Shi An stood up straight, looked around at the panic-stricken generals who were kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth, and quickly walked out of the commander's tent.
When Shi An left, Xiao Yu's face turned cold, he unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and said loudly:
"In response to Tianshun's timing, and under the command of Ziming, Emperor Dayun issued an edict:
Gu Gao, the captain of the Yongzhou border army, incited the morale of the army with clever words and deeds, leading to discord. He colluded with the Xia State and conspired to rebel. The crime is unforgivable and he should be punished! He was dismissed from his official position and punished with capital punishment. The three tribes of Yi were killed! All the subordinate generals were killed.
, the whole family was exiled to Nanjun, and they will never come back!
Kudos to this!"
Gu Gao, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, was stunned for a moment, but suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes wide, and said:
"Why, why does my name appear in the imperial edict! I just..."
Halfway through, Gu Gao suddenly reacted, struggled to get up, and shouted:
"Your Majesty knows... Your Majesty knows everything! Why, why did you wait until now to show up, and you must kill me!"
The journey from Zhongqing City to Yongzhou takes half a month. On this imperial edict, Gu Gao's name is clearly listed, obviously he has been on it for a long time. Perhaps, when the Xia Kingdom contacted him, Dong
The factory officials had already set their sights on him.
And if Shi An had been sent to the army a few days in advance, they would surely not have dared to take any action.
Although Gu Gao didn't understand what fishing law enforcement meant, he also understood that the emperor of Zhongqing City watched him step by step and led nearly half of the army generals into death together!
Xiao Yu sneered and said:
"If you don't have the intention to rebel, why would I appear here? Well, it's useless to talk more. Someone comes and pulls them to the military camp and kills them!"
The guards at Sticky Post on the side immediately shouted loudly and dragged all the frontier generals out.
The sounds of begging, cursing, crying, and regret suddenly resounded.
Xiao Yu's face was cold and unmoved at all, and he said in a deep voice:
"Reply to Your Majesty quickly, the Yongzhou camp is safe!"
"Yes!" The guard at the sticky pole on the side responded immediately with his hands raised.
--------------------------
Qimo, the general of Xia Kingdom and Marquis of Deyang, leaned on his horse and looked at Di Qing and others in front, his heart suddenly jumped.
"It's a bit strange! Why is Yun Jun's horse speed getting slower and slower?"
The deputy general on the side heard this and immediately said:
"This Yun army has been practicing before, chasing horse bandits. It is normal that the horse power is not enough!"
When Qi Mo heard this, he raised his head warily and looked around.
They saw that the surrounding terrain was becoming more and more open, and there were no longer dense forests. It did not look like there were soldiers and horses ambushing them at all. This was why they were able to pursue them so far without knowing it.
But at this time, Zimmer felt increasingly uneasy.
"The spies from the Yongzhou camp said, how many soldiers and horses did Di Qing bring out today?"
The lieutenant general hesitated for a while and then said decisively:
"Only a hundred cavalrymen left camp today!"
When Qi Mo heard this, he looked thoughtful.
But after thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he exclaimed:
"Quickly, the whole army retreats! How could the commander of the Yongzhou camp come out with only so few troops? Damn it, I'm afraid I've fallen into a trap!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred cavalrymen who had been running away in front suddenly turned their horses and faced the Xia army's cavalry in awe.
"General, look! They stopped. How about we..."
When Qi Mo heard this, he became even more anxious and said:
"It's really a scam!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a red wave rolling in from the distance.
Taking a closer look, the Yun Kingdom cavalry wearing red light armor was galloping from a distance. The Yunlong battle flag symbolizing the Great Yun Kingdom was fluttering in the wind, making a hunting sound together with the large banner with the word "Di".
Di Qing was riding on a war horse, with a cold look on his handsome face.
Pointing his sword at an angle, he yelled:
"Assault rider, kill!"
"kill!"
Deafening shouts rang out, and the killing energy almost solidified. The luck turned into billowing wolf smoke and rose into the sky, until it solidified into a huge eagle in the sky.
"Shoot!" shouted again.
In the distance, a red cavalryman drew his crossbow and pointed diagonally upward.
The bloody eagle above the head fluttered its wings and soared into the sky, followed by a strong wind.
There was only a "zheng" vibration of the bow string, and a rain of arrows was fired. Before the cavalry arrived, the arrows whizzed in. With the help of the strong wind, the arrows shot became more powerful and powerful, turning into heavy rain and falling one after another.
Yun Guo's cavalry suddenly charged out, not even expecting that the opponent's arrows could be fired at such a long distance. In an instant, the soldiers jumped in and fell off their horses.
Seeing this situation, Zimo's eyes were filled with tears and he shouted loudly:
"Gather the formation! Gather the formation! Don't let the Yun army rush into the formation..."
The Xia army was in chaos and gathered towards Zimo.
But at this moment, the sudden cavalry was as fast as lightning and was already roaring towards them.
Although they were light cavalry, they rushed into the formation with unstoppable momentum. Taking advantage of the Xia army's disorganized formation, they continued to divide and encircle them, killing from left to right and looking around. In the battlefield, only the screams and wails of Xia's soldiers could be heard.
Zimmer's eyes were red, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he looked furious.
He never expected that his first battle in Tiannan would be lost like this!
