Humane Yongchang

A little bit of Wushou Qingyun fairy light illuminates the simple quiet room.

The thin old man with white beard and white hair was sitting upright on the bed holding a fly whisk in one hand, his eyes were downcast, neither happy nor sad.

The ice-blue fat-headed whale sat tremblingly under the quiet room, bowed its hands respectfully and said: "Your junior hastily disturbed the fairy mountain, and before I come to visit, I invite the Taiqing Tianzun Haihan!"

"Zhuangzi is very polite."

The thin old man said with a light smile: "It's rare for a distinguished guest to come to the door. The old man is very happy and it's too late. Why bother... please tea!"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, a cup of steaming hot tea floated down in front of the fat-headed whale. The fat-headed whale stretched out its two short fins to take the cup of tea, neither drinking nor not drinking.

But the thin old man has held his breath, as if he has settled down and comprehended the way of heaven.

……

Long night.

With his armor still on, Chen Sheng sat upright on the handsome tent, wiping the Tai'a sword intently.

This majestic sword, after beheading tens of thousands of enemies in his hands, the quaint sword body, which was originally shiny red, is now as crystal clear as if carved from a ruby, with a murderous aura and restrained , Even without external force, you can easily take the enemy's head a thousand feet away, combined with Chen Shengren's imperial spirit and the way of the king outside, it can be called a first-class killing artifact in the world!
Suddenly, a voice came from under the account.

Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows suddenly when he heard the sound, seeing that the person who came was not the Zhuangzi he was waiting for, but a messenger, a little disappointment appeared in his eyes.

The messenger walked quickly to the tent, clasped his fists and said anxiously: "Report to Your Majesty, the scouts are here to report, the enemy sent troops to divide into three groups, and marched towards our army. , [-] infantry on the right, [-] chariots, and [-] infantry in the middle marching in a square formation..."

Combined with the report of the messenger, Chen Sheng glanced at the map on the table in front of him. His years of rich experience in battle on the battlefield made him almost reflexively project the strategies and tactics adopted by the enemy in his mind.

'Breakthrough from the left, encirclement from the center, and break from the right? '

He sighed with emotion in his heart: "I haven't met such an opponent in the world for many years..."

Ever since he established himself as king, no one around Kyushu would dare to underestimate him. Even those who have been famous in the battlefield for many years fought with him every step of the way, steady and steady. It's better to be inside!
Chen Sheng really hadn't encountered such a treasured opponent who was full of confidence but full of flaws for many years.

Oh, that's right...

During the reign of the so-called King Ashoka, who was upright in the Maurya Dynasty, Asan, who had never been beaten, was always so confident.

He raised Tai'a sword, facing the flames jumping in the tent, carefully searched for scratches on the sword that did not exist, and asked verbally and unhurriedly: "What time is it now?"

The messenger, who was highly focused, replied without thinking: "Return to Your Majesty, at the end of Yin time, it will be Mao time soon!"

"It's almost dawn?"

Chen Sheng smacked his lips, put his sword back into its sheath and said, "Give me an order to light a fire and make rice, and the three armies will have a full meal."

The messenger instinctively wanted to take the order, but the astonishment he felt when he understood Chen Sheng's order made him unable to help but look up at his beloved Majesty: "Huh?"

"Ah for what!"

Chen Sheng smiled and slapped across the air, and lightly patted the messenger's unusually generous face of the old Qin people: "Can't you understand the official language? Go tell the Huotou soldiers to get up and cook!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The messenger nodded his head, he was still a little dazed, but besides the daze, there was an indescribable, unexplainable warm force gushing out from his heart, like a giant pillar supporting the sky, propping up his excitement and excitement spiritual world.

Chen Sheng smiled, waved his hand and said, "Go, send me a copy when it's ready!"

The messenger just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Wei!"

He turned around and rushed out of the commander's tent, and immediately a large group of messengers surrounded him, quietly waiting for him to convey His Majesty's order.

The old Qin messenger looked around and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has orders..."

All the messengers focused their ears, and some even took out a small notebook and a charcoal pencil, in case they missed a word.

The old Qin's messenger said seriously: "The whole army will light a fire and cook food, and the three armies will have a full meal!"

A group of messengers waited patiently, and those who drew peach charms on the small notebooks also took the time to write these twelve characters.

But when they marked the full stop in the small notebook, they still couldn't wait for the second sentence, and they couldn't help but looked up at their superiors.

Facing the questioning eyes of the Paoze brothers, the messenger from the old Qin grinned, spreading his hands with indescribable pride and complacency: "It's gone!"

"Gone?"

"that's it?"

A group of messengers eagerly asked, and in the sound of questioning, a young Tie Hanhan suddenly interjected: "What else do you want to eat, the enemy is coming soon..."

As soon as this sentence came out, all the messengers were furious, and they slapped the young junior's head with a slap and a slap: "Silly boy, you know a donkey ball, our Huben army followed your majesty to fight in the south and north, When you are invincible, you are still making urine mud in the mountain den!"

"Things you can think of in your brain, your majesty can't think of it?"

"Just these donkey balls and horse dung, is it worth fighting with us men without eating?"

"Are they worthy too?"

The young orderly soldier was dizzy from the slaps of his predecessors, and the spittle sprayed all over his face.

But in this kind of dizziness, an unprecedented power surged into his heart, making him puff up his chest involuntarily.

If he has read the book, he will know that this kind of power is called national self-confidence!
A group of messengers quickly implemented Chen Sheng's will to every soldier of the Huben Army in the entire army.

The confused Huben Army officers and soldiers quickly came to their senses.

The restless Huben soldiers gradually calmed down.

The tense soldiers of the Huben Army also slowly relaxed.

The whole army put on armor, assembled, cleared up the camps, and deployed defenses in an orderly manner... The slow movements did not look like the demeanor that an elite army should have!

But at the moment, it is a foreign country!

But now, it is before the war...

When a set of steaming steamed cakes and broth was delivered to Chen Sheng's desk, he took out a seal and called a messenger to deliver it. Then he concentrated on dealing with the steamed cakes and meat in front of him. Soup.

On the other side, after the messenger took the seal and delivered it to the logistics warehouse manager, the seemingly harmless warehouse manager immediately took out an object the size of a finger from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth and blew it vigorously.

All of a sudden, all the warehouse officers and soldiers around the warehouse with hammers, nails, brooms, and poles dropped their stuff and rushed into a warehouse covered with waterproofing and oil repairs.

Not long after, they came out of the warehouse carrying one after another of the large wooden boxes that were more than one foot long.

In the twilight of the morning sun, they opened these long boxes one by one, revealing a series of black and heavy iron pipes!

Waiting for the reply from the treasury officer, so that he could return to the command post, the messenger looked at these brothers in Paoze who seemed to be no different from him in a daze, and caressed those big ones droolingly like touching his own mother-in-law. Iron pipe, thinking in his heart, what is wrong with these people's appointment...

"clang."

Chen Sheng put the empty soup bowl, which was bigger than his head, on the desk, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand in satisfaction.

At the right time, a messenger came into the account and reported with his fists folded: "Your Majesty, the latest report from the scouts is that the enemy's central army is still more than [-] miles away from our army, and the left side is still more than ten miles away from our army. There are still more than [-] miles away from the encirclement of our army!"

Chen Sheng grabbed the map and projected the enemy's route and distance onto the map in his mind. After a moment of pondering, he said crisply: "Give me an order, and the three armies will pull out the stronghold immediately, retreat eight miles, and return to the dog's head marked on the map. Ridge location!"

The map in his hand was made overnight by the staff in charge of map-making in the army, and all combat units above the company level in the army will be equipped, so he only ordered according to the map, but unexpectedly, the soldiers under his command could not find the location.

The messenger took the order, turned around and rushed out of the commander's tent, and quickly conveyed Chen Sheng's order to all divisions and regiments.

Soon, the sluggish army, like a rabbit that had been kicked in the butt, pulled up the camp and flew back along the way it came from.

As soon as the Huben army moved, the surrounding three-way Maurya Dynasty army that was trying to encircle them immediately rushed up like a vicious dog.

The encirclement circle, which was not very big, shrank rapidly, and both the enemy and the enemy could vaguely see each other's flag.

And after such a movement, the Maurya Dynasty side could barely divide the three-way army into the primary and secondary, and it was a big loss!
The established "perfect strategy" is to first disrupt the formation of the Han army by combining infantry and cavalry from the left, then use the main force in the middle to hold back the main force of the Han army, and finally complete the encirclement by the right.

After such a retreat by the Huben army and such a chase by the three-way army of the Peacock Dynasty, it suddenly became a three-way army. The distances are almost the same.

Not long after, Chen Sheng commanded [-] Huben soldiers and retreated to the location of "Goutouling" marked on the map.

The real name of Goutuling is definitely not Goutuling, but the name given to this place by the staff of the map.

The so-called Goutou Ridge, as the name suggests, is a mountain bag shaped like a dog's head, high in the middle and low on all sides.

In terms of terrain, this kind of small soil bag with medium high and four low is definitely far less dangerous than the Hangu Pass and Jingjingkou that the Han army once fought. With the top-down terrain advantage, it is no problem to disgust the enemy.

Fifty thousand soldiers of the Huben Army rushed to Goutou Ridge, and immediately crowded the small soil bag to the brim, and they couldn't even set up a battle formation.

Chen Sheng erected the general platform, climbed up and looked around, and found that the progress of the right army of the Maurya Dynasty was still a little behind, and according to his visual observation, the army stopped and stopped along the way, as if they were not ready to go to Goutuling In the tough battle against the enemy, they are preparing to form an honest formation to cut off their retreat...

How does this work?

"Lu Chen!"

Chen Sheng shouted intently.

Lu Chen immediately jumped up from the sea of ​​people, stood up in Lingkong and raised his fists to him, "The end is here!"

Chen Sheng pointed to the Maurya Dynasty army that stopped and went behind: "Lead your five thousand elite troops, go and call me a jinliang of the Maurya Dynasty army... Use the sound of gold as the name, you may lose but you will not win!"

Lu Chen responded loudly without hesitation: "Wei!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran to his own flag, stretched out his hand and pulled out the three-foot-high flag from the soil, and held it high with one hand: "Brothers of the old regiment, come out!"

"only!"

"only!"

Amidst bursts of shouts, a group of men and horses squeezed out from the crowded crowd, forming fish scales and arranging their armor.

Seeing that they were almost ready, Lu Chen casually tossed his shogi to the head of the short guard, jumped onto his horse, grabbed the spear hanging from the saddle, and held it high above his head: "Second and third sons, follow me to attack, kill!"

"kill!"

Amidst the loud shouts, Lu Chen took the lead and rushed down Goutou Ridge. Five thousand elite old soldiers followed behind him in a tight formation, billowing up smoke and dust.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng raised his hand.

For the first time, the majestic sound of Chinese war drums sounded on the banks of the Ganges!

As soon as Lu Chen's troops moved, the other two armies of the Maurya Dynasty surrounding Goutuling were eager to push their troops forward.

But after floating for a while, they all stopped again, as if they also wanted to show the combat effectiveness of this "Great Xia Army" through the fierce battle of the right army!
In the midst of everyone's attention, the [-] Maurya army, which cut off the way of the Tiger's army, set up a large golden shield as tall as a man in front of the formation, forming an impenetrable shield wall.

From Chen Sheng's point of view, he could still see behind the shield wall, a large forest of guns like nail boards. According to Chen Sheng's visual inspection, the combat power should not be weak.

I saw Lu Chen leading the army galloping to within fifty feet of the shield wall, and only heard a "buzz", densely packed rockets shot up into the sky from behind the gun forest, covering the five thousand veterans led by Lu Chen.

And among the rockets, there seemed to be round and round catapults...

Chen Sheng frowned for the first time, but his feet stood firmly on the platform as if they had taken root.

And Lu Chen did not disappoint Chen Sheng, when he heard the word "Zhengqi" like a tiger's roar, the surging power of the battle formation soared into the sky, and the rain of arrows fell backwards, falling towards the enemy's main formation. go.

At the same time, Lu Chen, who was at the forefront, had already rushed to the front of the shield wall. He swung his spear and made a sharp strike. With one spear, he tore a gap in the golden shield wall. Crashed into the dense forest of guns!
The [-] veteran soldiers of the tiger army in the rear rushed into the enemy's formation along the gap he tore open. Wherever the front of the soldiers passed, it was like a sharp sickle sweeping through the dry grass, cutting down a large area of ​​gun forest... …

It was as silky and smooth as butter on bearings, and Chen Sheng couldn't tell whether it was the old soldiers of the five thousand tiger army who were too strong, or the enemy army was too weak!
Judging from the equipment and military appearance of the enemy army, it shouldn't be so vulnerable!

Chen Sheng couldn't tell whether the Huben army was too strong or the enemy army was too weak, but he knew that if Lu Chen didn't withdraw his troops and let Lu Chen continue to kill like this, the [-] peacock soldiers would fly away from the pot!

Not to mention 10 people!

Even if 5 pigs were fleeing all over the mountains, the [-] of them couldn't hold back much!
Therefore, they have to rush up to deliver it by themselves!
As soon as Chen Sheng raised his hand, the passionate drumming stopped abruptly, and the rapid and sharp sound of metal and iron clashing soared into the sky.

Lu Chen, who was killing all directions in the enemy's formation, immediately reined in the galloping horse under his crotch when he heard the sound of gold ringing, held up his bloody spear and shouted: "Brothers, retreat!"

The five thousand veterans of the Huben army listened to the order, immediately gave up the battle exploits at hand, maintained the battle formation, withdrew from the enemy's formation in an orderly manner, and ran back towards Goutuling.

Seeing the retreat of Lu Chen's troops, the other two troops of the Maurya Dynasty charged forward after a very brief period of confusion.

And the enemy army that was massacred by Lu Chen's troops also regrouped and cooperated with the other two friendly troops to encircle them.

The war broke out!

Seeing this, Chen Sheng twitched the corners of his lips slightly... He knew that these Ah Sans couldn't hold back!

Of course, if it were him, he would stop at all costs when he saw a small group of soldiers suspected of being the elite of the enemy army calmly retreat after killing indiscriminately on his own army.

This is not only a human instinct, but also a balance of interests!

Looking down at the black and dry figures surging up from all directions, Chen Sheng waved his hands expressionlessly.

One after another, the ferocious muzzles of the black holes slid to protrude from the edge of the mountain, aiming at the crowds of people in all directions on the ground.

"The sound of the drum is the order, and the whole army prepares for battle!"

Chen Sheng raised the Tai'a sword with its sheath high, and shouted loudly, the officers of each division and regiment responded and restrained the soldiers under their command, and waited intently for the military order!
But what they waited for was a shout they had never heard before: "Fire!"

"Boom, bang, bang, bang..."
