It is difficult to express clearly without personal experience, and it is difficult to express it clearly in words even if you have experienced it.

The husband heard the cheers, and could hear the joy and gratitude in those cheers.

Just judging from the cheers, Fu Liao knew that those who had been conscripted had returned, and the next operation was very critical.

Zhiying rushed into the tent and said happily, "Reinforcements are coming!"

Yes, their reinforcements have arrived.

The first ones to appear were about [-] cavalrymen of Zhishi, who were divided into three groups and attacked the Wu army everywhere.

The Wu army, who was resting, was unable to organize effective resistance at the initial stage of the raid. Many small and medium-sized camps were directly pierced by Chi's cavalry in the midst of the panic. Hold on.

Xu Menchao's first reaction after finding out that he was attacked was to lose consciousness, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Xu Menchao, who came back to his senses, smiled wryly, and said, "It's no wonder that the king has repeatedly said that the Zhi family is like himself."

Wu Jun likes sneak attacks very much. It can be seen that Zhishi's style has changed in the past 20 years to be very similar to Wu Guo. If he can sneak attack, he will definitely not challenge him head-on.

Wu State is like that because of the character of the regional ethnic groups and the country’s growth journey. How did the Zhi family, which has always been the noble family of Jin State, become like that?
When Xu Menchao came to a high enough position, what he saw was the cavalry of the Jin army sweeping across. They didn't make any entanglements at all, and there was no fixed marching track when they came and went suddenly, which made it difficult for the Wu army who reacted to intercept the attack. direction; another about [-] Jin army vehicles and infantry mixed corps appeared, they were divided into two parts, and entered the battlefield with a left and right pincer attack.

Wu Jun certainly did not set up only one camp, it was not that the terrain did not allow a camp that could accommodate 5 to [-] people, it was a qualified general who would not gather all the troops in one camp.

Although there is just a shadow of a military strategist now, the experience of not defending an isolated city and not standing alone has long been summed up, and a fool will gather all the troops in one place. Nowhere to cast.

The Xumenchao, which was divided into battalions, just arranged a layout that could support each other in the event of an attack according to the tradition. However, it suffered from the high mobility of the Chi cavalry. The result of breaking.

If Xu Menchao can convey orders to various places, there is still a chance to stabilize, and then try to encircle and wipe out the group of Jin troops that broke into the core of the Wu army. It is a pity that those simple banners of the state of Wu cannot issue complicated orders. Going to contact is also not operational.

So, Xu Menchao's order to the Wu army everywhere is very simple, ordering them to stick to their camps, as long as they can resist the first wave of raids by the Jin army, there will be a chance to turn things around.

The progress of the war is developing in a strange direction. The incoming Jin army is too clear about the choice. The Chi cavalry finds that which Wu army is difficult to defeat, they give up and go to attack the next target; After defeating the Wu army on the left and right sides, the target clearly moved towards the location of the trapped militiamen.

"Is there any noble person in the camp?" Xu Menchao was not stupid, seeing the movements of the Jin army, he immediately had a guess.

Zhan Ru said: "The 'general' of the whole army is Zhi Yao's close minister."

This made Xu Menchao not understand.

Isn't it just a close minister?Does it take such a big battle to save them?
They do know what kind of people are resisting, a group of militiamen gathered from all over the country.A team with a composition like this, which big power would pay special attention to it, let alone the annihilation of [-] militiamen, and two or three times more would not care, anyway, the ones who died were the young men drawn from the occupied areas.

That's right, the nobles love Li Shu, but don't value Li Shu. This has been such a contradiction since ancient times.Cherish it because Li Shu is useful as a tool, and being able to give up at any time will make Li Shu look cheap compared to others.

There is also a big truth, Li Shu has always been the part that can be given up at any time in the eyes of a large part of the powerful.

Zhan Ru asked, "Now that we know the enemy's intentions, how should we proceed?"

Xu Menchao was silent.

Wu Jun's chain of command has failed, and the reality is that he can only protect himself for the time being, and can't do anything else.

This kind of predicament that they know that they can change the situation of the battle by doing something, but they can't do anything, no general wants to encounter it, and the generals with poor psychological endurance are likely to be so useless.

The Jin army with a clear goal successfully completed contact with the trapped civilians.

After all, the husband did not have Bai and Zhiyao for nearly 20 years. He organized the remaining civilians in advance, and then evacuated with the friendly troops who came to help.

The [-] civilians resisted stubbornly for four days. At first, the casualties were relatively large, but after adapting, the casualties were reduced, and about [-] survived.

A cruel thing happened during this period. The injured militiamen who lost their mobility were left in place, and only the militiamen who maintained their mobility were taken away.

Knowing which military camp the Xumen Nest is in, Jiqin deliberately came to the front of the Yuanmen, calling for the chief general of the Wu army to come and answer.

"What do you mean?" Xu Menchao heard clearly just now, but no matter how clearly he heard it, he felt confused.

On behalf of the Zhi family, Ji Qin made a request to Wu Jun. The Zhi family was willing to redeem the wounded soldiers who stayed where they were, as well as the captured Homo sapiens, and asked Wu Jun to treat them well.

Zhanru also heard it clearly, and was also confused by Zhishi's request.

When a war breaks out between two countries, only the nobles have always been treated kindly, and the captured noble families will also come to redeem them, and the rest of the class will not have that kind of treatment.

What's going on with Zhishi now?Along the way, the general pleaded for good treatment of the captives, and his words were so clear that the nobles might understand but pretended to be stupid, and the soldiers of the two armies fell silent after hearing it.

"Maybe something can be done?" What Zhan Ru thought was that since Zhishi cared so much, he had to investigate carefully one by one, find out the key people among them, and then use them as hostages to do something.

This is very Wu people, if you can achieve your goal, you don't care what means you use.

The incoming Jin army and the rescued militiamen withdrew, but they did not go far. They went to the north ten miles away, and began to camp at a place that was visible to the Wu army.

The militiamen who escaped from birth knew very well that they had enjoyed a super-standard treatment. If they had fallen as militiamen before, they would have fallen. Don't expect an army to rescue them at all.

"The master treats me like this, dare not repay it with death?" Guan did not forget his duty, caught the young man in a state of gratitude, and repeatedly emphasized some concepts.

Similar things happen to every village head who wants to make progress. It is precisely because they want to make progress that they know the importance of letting the villagers remember Zhi's kindness now.

Of course, the folks are grateful to Zhishi. With today's experience, even if there is no loyalty to Zhishi, no matter what they say in the future, they will not disturb Zhishi.

As for the fact that they were recruited by the Zhi family to fall into such a dangerous situation, they were followed by the Qi army in order to serve the Qi army. The Qi army ran away after a little resistance, and it was not the Zhi family's fault!

After the Wu army retreated from the Jin army, the Chi cavalry would make surprise attacks from time to time, causing the Wu army's chaos to last until the next day.

Xumenchao and Zhanru couldn't calculate how much they had lost for a while. They recruited their subordinates to discuss how to deal with the Jin army all night, and they still couldn't find a good solution until dawn.

In the next few days, Wu Jun encountered a dilemma that he couldn't get out. Once the various camps interacted, they would immediately attract attacks from Chi's cavalry.

Xu Menchao couldn't gather all the troops, and it would be a luxury to retreat in an orderly manner. The more anxious the mentality, the less likely it was to think of a good way.

This time, Wu Jun fully experienced the difficulty of the Zhi family's cavalry, which was completely different from what they knew about riding alone.

In order to find out why Zhishi's cavalry was so powerful, Zhan Ru personally led his team to fight against Zhishi's cavalry, not because he wanted to destroy the opponent, but because he wanted to take prisoners or capture the horses.

Zhan Ru's actions were tragic, and despite the casualties of more than 2000 people, there were still no cavalrymen who were able to capture Zhishi alive, but he snatched a few live or dead horses.

"This is the thing that can be used to ride a horse's legs; there is another thing that can be used to slow down the bumps when riding on it, and you can hold the evil gold ring with your hands." Zhanru was talking about stirrups and saddles.

Wu Jun and soldiers picked up sabers, riding bows, and crossbows, but it was difficult to figure out what advantages they had in a short period of time.

Xumenchao and Zhanru had long heard that the Zhi family had already used evil gold to equip their troops, and they had also created an operation of letting vassals pay on credit. In the past, there was no less ridicule in Wu, until after the "Battle of Ai Ling" The laughter died away.

Wu's smelting technology is ahead of the Central Plains countries to a certain extent. After the "Battle of Ai Ling", they also began to study evil gold, but the previous accumulation was not enough, and the time to re-emphasize it was too short. What a breakthrough.

Someone rushed over to report that they were allowed to enter, and when they entered, they hurriedly said: "The Jin army and the Chu army are here!"

what's the situation?
Xu Menchao and Zhan Ru looked at each other in blank dismay, both thinking that the house leak happened to be raining overnight.

Jin and Chu have always regarded each other as mortal enemies, and have not formed an alliance for a long time.

"The Jin army is coming. Song has no excuse. Where did the Chu army come from?" Xu Menchao asked.

The visitor said with an unbelievable expression: "We came together!"

What the hell? ? ?
This time, all the generals in the military camp couldn't believe that Jin and Chu could form an alliance, so they were all confused.

Where did Chu Jun come from?They were the group captured in the last "Battle of the Weishui River". Later, the Zhi family negotiated with the state of Chu, and the state of Chu redeemed this group of captives, and took out money or other items to purchase war robes and weapons from the Zhi family. The materials inside will be led by Ziqi to join forces with Zhiyao.

This time, the Chu army led by Ziqi will become comrades in arms with the Jin army led by Zhiyao, and together they will destroy the Wu army going north!
