I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 240 It seems to go back to a hundred years ago

Bai Gongsheng was very surprised to be invited by Zhiyao suddenly, and his anger rose.

What is he here for?To avenge Prince Jian, the father who died tragically in Zheng Guo!

Originally, the Jin army also invaded Zheng State this year, and Bai Gongsheng didn't care so much what the rest of Chu State thought. He himself had a good impression of Zhiyao who led the army to invade Zheng State.

So, when the two met by the Yellow River, Bai Gongsheng had that kind of attitude towards Zhiyao. Otherwise, the premise was that he had never masked his face. The first meeting must be relatively unfamiliar, and it is impossible to chat for several hours.

"The Jin army wants to fight, so let's fight!" Bai Gongsheng had a thoughtful expression.

Dou Yuan was immediately confused.

Didn't they come to revenge Zheng Guo?What's the matter with Jin.

Another point is that Jin is not a weak country. Even after going through civil strife just now, it can defeat Chu, which was prepared early, in the border of the Man clan.

Ye Gong said: "Zheng Guo intervened in the internal turmoil of Jin, and the Jin people plundered Zheng, but there was no peace. Zheng people use tricks, if I fight with the Jin army, will it not benefit Zheng people?"

But Bai Gongsheng said: "I was only invited by Zhishi Yao to know how to hunt, how can I show weakness?"

At this moment, the dignitaries of the state of Chu accompanying the army immediately fell silent.

That's right!Regardless of whether Zheng Guojun and his ministers used tricks, the Jin army has invited the battle, can the Chu army retreat?

Bai Gongsheng said again: "Furthermore, the upstarts of the Jin Kingdom are all here, and it's the right time to try it out."

There is nothing wrong with them approaching the city of "Xinzheng". Everyone knows that "Xinzheng" is very difficult to conquer. They only brought [-] troops to intimidate and embarrass Zheng. "Xinzheng" is a strong city.

"If we can defeat the Jin army here, it will be one of the major blows to the upstarts of Jin, and the people of Zheng will also lose heart." Bai Gongsheng said.

The state of Jin seemed to be in decline and fought a large-scale civil war. However, none of the princes could defeat the Jin army on the battlefield. Especially, it only took about two years for the state of Jin to destroy Zhongshan. country.

At that moment, the dignitaries of Chu State accepted Bai Gongsheng's statement.

The Jin army around "Xinzheng" is only about [-], and the army is still led by the new generation.

The dignitaries of the state of Chu didn't know if some of the rumors were true, whether they had the superiority in military strength, or whether Bai Gongsheng, who was good at fighting, was the commander in chief, and they thought it was really worth a try.

After the consensus was reached, Bai Gongsheng sent someone to reply to Zhiyao, and agreed to hold a meeting in the east of "Xinzheng".

The terrain over there is flat, which is very suitable for large corps to spread out, and it is indeed a good place for fighting.

God for good.

The morning sun rose, and the whole sky looked cloudless.

The Jin army and the Chu army, who had finished their meals before dawn, went out of the camp when Yubai appeared in the east, and went to the battle field to deploy troops.

Waiting for the sun to rise, the originally empty wilderness was already full of people, and the sounds of horses neighing, cows mooing and dogs barking interspersed.

Why are there dogs barking?In fact, the army will bring a certain number of dogs. They are usually from the nobles. They have been specially trained and are usually used as hunting aids. They serve as sentries or lead patrols when they are on the expedition.

The use of trained dogs as sentries has been around since ancient times. Their ears are very sensitive, and they will bark when they hear abnormal noises; they can also see things at night, and they will warn people who are dressed differently from their own.

When did dogs disappear in barracks?It's hard to tell.Probably after the relevant training methods were lost?

The fighting in the battle formation had nothing to do with dogs, anyway, the traditional Zhuxia nobles would not drive dogs to fight.

However, there is a family like the Fox family who have just returned to the Jin Kingdom for a few years, and they still maintain some of the habits they had when they were in the foreign race.

Use dogs to charge?It’s not about strapping on explosives and going to death charge. No matter how many dogs there are in the cold weapon era, they didn’t frighten the enemy soldiers. They may cause some confusion and casualties to the enemy. It is more likely that they will be lined up for battle. The enemy sent dog meat.

Both sides were beating war drums, and the sound of the drums spread throughout the wilderness, drifting far into the city of "Xinzheng".

It is clearly in the territory of Zheng State, but it is the Jin army and the Chu army who are fighting. It seems that the time has returned to more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, Zheng State was the battlefield between Jin State and Chu State. In order to compete for hegemony, the two powerful countries repeatedly staged fights in Zheng people's land.

Fortunately, the war had nothing to do with ordinary Li Shu at that time, and they would not maliciously destroy farmland, etc., otherwise Zheng Guo would have been buried.

At this moment, Zheng Guojun and his ministers were on the east wall of the palace city, looking at the forest of banners and flags over there from a distance, and watching the dust raised by the Jin army and Chu army as they moved.

With smiles on their faces, they waited for the Jin army and the Chu army to go shopping, but they felt mixed feelings in their hearts.

"Grandfathers, have you experienced such a thing more than once?" Many Zheng people are thinking.

The sun rises from the east, the Jin army is on the north side, and the Chu army is on the south side. Both sides will not be troubled by the light, that is, they will face the sunlight directly.

"The Jin Army's 'Zuo Ju' is the Wei family, and the 'You Ju' is... the Han family?" Ye Gong said with a look of novelty.

Dou Yuan immediately said: "The Han family has always been a supporter, how dare you stand alone this time. You really despise me!"

It has to be said that not only Dou Yuan was angry, but most of the dignitaries of Chu State felt slighted.This is also the fact that the Han family really can't bear the front.

After getting angry, their minds also became active, thinking that there is a loophole in the Jin army's deployment, and it seems that it can be exploited?

Of course, Bai Gongsheng also distinguished from the banners of the Jin army which families the troops came from. He attached great importance to the Wei family's troops who were ranked as the "left refusal" of the Jin army, and wondered why Zhiyao made the Han family the "right refusal".

"Trap?" The first thing Bai Gongsheng thought of was this.

After all, the Jin army was led by Zhiyao who was able to defeat the coalition forces of the princes at the age of 13 and later won every battle!

On the side of the Chu army, Bai Gongsheng wants to play tricks on the general formation. What is more realistic is that even if he masters a variety of military formations, his subordinates have not received special training. They can only use the family as the basic unit, and one family after another calls themselves What a phalanx can do is to know which families are more capable of fighting and arrange them in the desired position.

The state of Chu has always been arranging troops based on the family as a unit, and it is seldom able to put on any particular formation. A nobleman is a trilogy (phalanx).

If there is "Zuo Guang" to fight, the general of the Chu army will definitely let "Zuo Guang" form a formation like "Jing Corpse Formation".

The reason why people in the Central Plains think that Chu people are romantic is actually mostly the conclusions drawn during the war. Not only is there no military discipline at all, but it also appears to be extremely loose.

Bai Gongsheng, who has been to Wu State for further studies, felt that if Zhiyao set up a trap, it would be too low-level, and people would be able to detect his intentions at a glance.

So, after careful consideration, Bai Gongsheng decided to test the truth with practical actions.

After receiving the order, Ye Gong returned to his army and issued relevant orders to his vassals. When he was about to launch an attack, he was instructed to suspend the attack.

The reason is that Zhiyao from the Jin army came out on his bicycle and slowly drove towards the Chu army.

Bai Gongsheng didn't know what Zhiyao wanted to do, so he thought about it and decided to come forward to talk to him.

"Baigong."

"Son of Zhishi"

A title.

A family name.

Speaking of which, it's not that Zhiyao doesn't have a reputation, but...it's really hard for people to shout out.

What kind of siege master, king killer, if you call it positively, doesn't it force Zhiyao to die?Even the mortal enemies dare not call him that in person.

Zhiyao looked at Bai Gongsheng, who was about ten meters away, and said loudly: "Today's battle is just for the joy of hunting, and the second and third sons will compete to attract everyone's attention. There must be others."

Bai Gongsheng nodded first, agreeing that there was no deep hatred, and then said: "The teacher is finished, please return to the formation."

what?
Sorry not to be singled out?
Believe it or not, Zhiyao shot you to death with one arrow?

It's just that Bai Gongsheng, who has been to Wu State for further studies, would not play heads-up with anyone when he was the chief general of the first army.

The commanders-in-chief of the two armies returned to their respective positions.

When Zhiyao passed through the gap in the army formation, she frequently looked at Han's side, and found that Han Geng had already deployed the general formation, and thought that it was worthwhile for her to go out and delay Bai Gongsheng's order to launch an attack.

In general, Bai Gongsheng really didn't learn Wu Guo's style, otherwise he would be delighted that Zhiyao came to his door, and seized the opportunity to clean up together.

The moment Zhiyao returned to the formation, a horn sounded.

About a thousand riders from the Fox family galloped out from the middle of the left and right moments, and behind them were densely packed chariots and foot soldiers.

On the Chu army's side, when Zhiyao's chariot turned around and approached the main formation, Ye Gong carried out Bai Gongsheng's order to attack.

Zhiyao returned to where she was supposed to be. In fact, she got into the body of the nest car. What she saw at a glance was that the Hu family's troops had already engaged in contact with Ye Gong's troops.

Didn't Zhong Wu propose that the Zhong family be the first attacking force?But I didn't get Zhiyao's consent.

War is not a child's play, who in Jin doesn't know that the Gong clan has already collapsed?
Zhiyao had a good talk with Zhong Wu in private, promising to give Zhong a chance to prove herself, but not this time.

Later, Zhiyao approached Huyou and arranged the mission for the first battle, and explained more clearly how and to what extent they would fight.

"Most are infantry on horseback, and a few can ride and shoot?" Zhiyao has never seen the battle of the private army of the Fox family, and those like Chidi, Baidi, and Rongren actually saw all infantry.

What is a bit special about this battle is not only the appearance of cavalry and archers, but also the fact that the two armies have already engaged in close combat, and there are still flying arrows on the battlefield, and they have been mixed together since the beginning of the fight.

When Bai Gongsheng saw the contact battle, although the scene was full of dust and smoke, he couldn't see the banner, but he recognized the Fox's troops immediately from the tactics of the Jin army.

"The style of Di Rong? The state of Jin has been depressed ever since." Bai Gongsheng really didn't understand how the state of Jin allowed the Hu family to sit on the throne, and looked down on the Hu family from the bottom of his heart.

As for the foreign race, whether it is the south or the north, there is no one in the current era who can fight.

Bai Gongsheng wondered if Zhiyao's reputation was bragging, why would the Fox family end in the first battle, and said to Douyuan: "Yuan led his troops to attack the Jin army' right refusal'."
