I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 319 Not fighting and subduing others is actually an extreme intimidation
The fate of the Chu army remaining in the camp is yet to be determined, and the fate of the fleeing Chu army will soon be known.

There were not only [-] Jin troops who came to the south bank from the north bank of the Wei River, but only [-] troops attacked the Chu army camp.

There are also five Jin armies of varying numbers on the south bank of the Weishui River, ranging in number from thousands to as few as 100.

According to common sense, no matter how the Chu army who escaped from the camp ran in the early stage, they would always think about going back the same way.

Those fleeing Chu troops would not gather together, and they would not have time to make a small group into a large group. Usually, dozens or hundreds would go south, and then be ambushed by the Jin army in a place with woods on both sides; or I walked out of a certain mountain pass and was stopped. I wanted to retreat and found that the way I came from was also blocked.

Among the fleeing Chu soldiers, only a group of people who did not walk back successfully escaped back, and the rest were all killed.

As for the Chu army staying in the camp, including Bai Gongsheng and Ye Gong, it is not that they have not tried to do something at the moment. They mobilized effective manpower in the command chain to push back the Jin army who passed the river. Let the Jin army coming from the north bank of the Wei River rush into the camp.

When the evening was approaching, Bai Gongsheng finally figured out the situation. They really chose a "good place" to camp. The river section was occupied by the Jin army, and the south and southwest were blocked. turtle.

"The Jin army collected dry firewood wantonly, and also spilled oil, I'm afraid..." Ye Gong led the army to try to make a gap just now, and he was covered in blood and injured.

When Bai Gongsheng heard it, his cheeks turned blue, and he said in a hateful voice: "The eldest son of the dignified Zhi family has turned into a beast!"

No matter what age it is, the bigger the children of the family, the more they care about face, and even face is more important than life and death.

Is Zhishi a big family?Or in other words, besides the princes (princes) of various countries, is there any family larger and more powerful than the Zhi family?no more!

Fortunately, the Zhi family first attacked the Chu army first, and played a lot of underworld operations during the period. It was not enough to set the fire once, and it was necessary to collect dry firewood and even move out the oil. Do you really want to use fire to attack the Chu army?

By the way, Chu people know about oil, and it was Zhishi who started selling vegetable oil to the outside world.

Of course, it's not vegetable oil that Zhi's sprinkles everywhere now. In fact, after starting to use coal in large quantities, an additional product appeared, that is, kerosene.

In addition, in fact, vegetable oil also has the effect of supporting combustion.

In just one day, Bai Gongsheng aged at least ten years under continuous shock, anger and worry.

Bai Gongsheng spent some time replaying the game, he was very clear that he had been hit halfway, and he was also attacked from two sides, and then Zhishi's cavalry was indeed different from the one he knew, and then he overestimated that The integrity and IQ of a group of accompanying nobles.

It is often said that "the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest", and the old saying naturally has its truth.

There are no internal problems, and there will be no overall collapse if there are threats from the outside.

Encountered threats from the outside, there is no unified thinking inside, so that some people surrender and rebel, and the rest will inevitably fall into a situation of mutual suspicion; some people want to resist, and a group of people flee first, and the hearts of those who want to resist are immediately lost. It's time to mess up.

Because some nobles chose to flee with their people, Bai Gongsheng now suffered the damage of internal confusion, so that the surprised and uncertain Chu army repeatedly counterattacked and tasted the bitter fruit of failure again and again.

Unable to use force to turn the tide of the battle, seeing that the Jin army really didn't want to be a man anymore, Bai Gongsheng had to try other methods.

"Zigao went to see Zhiyao and invited the two armies to meet before the battle." It didn't matter if Bai Gongsheng didn't speak, he could hardly recognize his own voice when he spoke, and there was a strange feeling of tearing and itching in his throat.

This battle between the Jin army and the Chu army must have no battle. In fact, they are occupying camps and confronting each other.

The Chi cavalry appeared for the second time, limited to the relationship between two directions at the same time, and the number of each direction was not enough. In the early stage, the horses stepped into the camp. Due to the lack of numbers, the deeper the troops, the more scattered up.

The Chu army is about 4 to [-].With a force of this size, the camp cannot be so small, and it will be divided into several areas. Unless Zhiyao brings nearly [-] cavalry, at least no less than [-] cavalry in one direction, otherwise the horse riding will not be possible. The joint battalion was strongly intercepted by the Chu army, and if it continued to make a deep assault, it would definitely be a situation of getting stuck in and unable to get out.

Zhiyao, who watched the whole process later, began to wonder why some literati kept mentioning the word "horse-tread joint venture".

What Bai Gongsheng said about meeting before the battle just now was just a habitual term.

Ye Gong didn't wash the blood, and he didn't treat the wounds. He had to ride in a chariot, otherwise there wouldn't be a row of nobles, and then he set off.

How do people know that they are not here to fight for their lives?In the current era, there is no saying of raising a white flag. In fact, it means that there must be no flag on the chariot, and then there is only the driver without the right of the chariot, and the core figures should not put their hands on the weapons.

"Go and report to the eldest son, the Chu army really sent someone to come." Cheng Wu covered his face with dirt, looking a little embarrassed, but his expression was extremely excited.

At this time, Cheng Wu was actually thinking: "The eldest son really knows things like a god!"

Zhi Lin, who acted as a temporary partner, only cooperated with Cheng Wu for less than a day, and he really disliked Cheng Wu from the bottom of his heart.

how to say?It's not that Cheng Wu is incompetent, it's just that some people like to complain after accidents, and the good thing is that they can make up for it after complaining.

Generally speaking, Cheng Wu is easily emotional, and then he seems very broken-mouthed.

When Zhiyao learned that an envoy from Chu State was coming, she didn't take any action to welcome her.

In fact, Zhiyao wanted the envoys of Chu State to take a look at the actual situation along the way. For example, Zhi's soldiers were collecting or piling up dry firewood, and where they were pouring fire oil, so as to strengthen the Chu army's ability to be attacked by fire. credibility.

"Place dry firewood and bring fire oil, it will be useful to Yao later." Zhiyao ordered.

About half an hour later, Ye Gong saw Zhiyao, and at the same time saw the firewood piled in front of the camp and several clay pots.

At that time, Zhiyao was opening the seal of one of the oil tanks, and then sprinkled the fire oil inside on the pyre.

When Zhiyao saw Ye Gong, she could tell from the clothes that he was a nobleman, but she still didn't know that it was the "Ye Gong loves dragons" Ye Gong.

"The injured nobleman acts as a messenger. Either this person is trusted by Bai Gongsheng, or this person has a high status?" Zhiyao thought.

how to say?Ye Gong's status is naturally not that low, but he is not particularly noble, he is considered a titled doctor.

He was named "Ye Gong" because he was loved by his subordinates. He also has a very special hobby, that is, he likes to draw dragons very much, and he always brags that once he draws the eyes of dragons, the dragons he draws will change. Survivors fly away.

Li Shu might believe it, but how could Chu people who are also nobles believe it? Knowing that someone called "Ye Gong", he followed up out of ridicule, and suddenly became Ye Zigao's "name".

Therefore, he is the Ye family, his name is Gao, and his name is Ye Gong.It's not that he is called Ye Gong, nor is his title a duke.As for the question of whether someone who is not a duke can be called a "public", anyway, there is no such restriction now.

Zhiyao went to the side and took a torch and threw it on some woodpile, and a burst of fire burst out in an instant, and the whole woodpile was completely burned in a very short time.

Seeing this scene, Ye Gong's cheeks twitched immediately.

What was it poured just now?
How can it be just a torch that burns such a large pile of firewood in less than three breaths, and the fire is really too fierce.

Zhiyao asked: "What do you think the doctor thinks?"

Even though he knew that most of the elements were scary, Ye Gong's cheeks continued to tremble.

"The woods here are densely covered, and the ground is also full of vegetation. If the sun ignites a fire, it may be out of control." Ye Gong said.

This is a sensible person, who knows that in this season, dry wood does not account for five or six out of a hundred, and the grass is also green. The ordinary arson cannot spread far, and the one who suffers will be the Chu with many tents. The military camp, and then there are several miles around... there are fires within a range of at most ten miles, and it is impossible to spread to tens of miles or more than a hundred miles.

To put it bluntly, there are Chu people on the Jin army's side who don't know the name, but they will greatly fuel the fire when they are thrown on it. It is still possible to use fire attacks on the Chu army's camp.

Zhiyao knew that Ye Gong had lost his mind, and said something threatening inside and out, and then asked Ye Gong urgently for a while, and the communication became a kind of Ye Gong who could not think before answering, and was not so brainy every time. It was necessary to answer, and suddenly asked: "Recently Jin people visited the Chu army, what are you talking about?"

"There are no Jin people visiting..." Ye Gong was stunned after he finished speaking, wondering why Zhiyao was still forcing the Chu army to surrender before, so why did he suddenly ask such a sentence.

Zhiyao didn't give Ye Gong time to think, and continued: "Now, the Chu army has become a turtle in the urn, and there is no need for our army to attack again. We only need to set fire to burn it when Yao ordered it. Why don't we stop the flag and drum?"

As an aristocrat, and also a nobleman of the Chu State, Ye Gong naturally knew how to speak Jin.

In the same way, the nobles of the state of Jin also have a compulsory language, which is Chu language.

This is the treatment of the same overlord level. The more simple truth is that both sides regard each other as rivals. How can they not even learn the language if they want to understand each other.

Ye Gong left, went back to find Bai Gongsheng, told what he had seen and heard, and finally said: "The eldest son of the Zhi family was surprised, and asked about something unrelated to this battle, and asked Zigao if there were Jin people here."

Bai Gongsheng's mind was full of the novelty that Ye Gong said could fuel the fire, and for a while he didn't hear the last sentence that Ye Gong said clearly.

"Those who fled first returned to one or two, saying that the Jin army has already retreated." Bai Gongsheng looked very entangled.

Ye Gong immediately put aside what he said just now, and said in surprise: "Zhi's eldest son uses troops very strangely, Jin people praised Xian Zhen as the only general after Xian Zhen. If there is Jin army on my way, I must have been fully prepared!"

Bai Gongsheng also guessed like this, so he fell into hesitation.

He still has a big grudge against Zheng Guo, so he must not die in this battle with the Jin army!
