The devil is coming

Chapter 1009: That hardworking...old dog
The first to come into contact between the two armies was their respective central armies, which were the most powerful.
The knights on both sides have distinctive armor, especially the knights at the forefront. As the spear points of both sides, they need to have the words "invincible" written directly on their faces.
In his early years, Zheng Fan saw that Li Fusheng liked to take the lead, and he felt that Li Fusheng was too impulsive. As a general, he should stand on the overall situation and take charge of everything;
In the same early years, when Zheng Fan saw King Jingnan taking the lead, he felt in his heart that you were relying on your own good martial arts, a peak martial artist, and the brave man under your crotch to swing forward, making you look like an enemy of thousands of people;
When the little defender who was accustomed to silently lagging behind in the early years gradually grew up, he discovered... In fact, when both sides ended the previous series of transitions, setbacks, and foreshadowing, they began to show the most primitive emotions. When fighting against each other, the general has no other commanding role;
The difference between life and death, success or failure, is just trembling at this moment. It is better to lead the army to the front and raise the morale to a higher level.
Naturally, you will have different understandings of the same thing depending on your environment and your own structure.
Although for a long time, Zheng Fan has been accustomed to using his commander's flag or king's flag to position the center of the Chinese army's formation, giving full play to the aura effect of his morale increase.
But during the last round of the decisive battle between Yan and Chu that took place in Shanggu County,
The prince can't hold it anymore either.
Simply pull the king's flag and lead the charge.
Of course, for these young generals, they certainly do not have as rich "thought-changing experiences" as their own princes.
What is innocence, what is polished, what is more innocent, what is more polished... They have not reached this point yet, or they have completely chosen to skip the step;
Anyway,
When I see the real chapter,
They feel that they should stand here, stand here, and rush here.
The horse's spear pierced the armor, and the arrows flew everywhere, hitting the horses and knights continuously;
From an absolutely materialistic point of view, the knights on both sides are already considered the most elite "class" in both countries. Their food, clothing, and armor equipment have one word written on them... expensive.
But this kind of "expensive" seems particularly cheap at this time.
Chen Xianba's horse broke after overturning three knights, and then he let go and pulled out his two meteor hammers;
To deal with these armored opponents, hitting with blunt objects is often more effective. One hammer at a time, it doesn't matter if it can't break your armor, it will directly cause internal injuries to you. Therefore, at this moment, he is like a god of death coming;
He enjoyed this feeling very much, leading his troops to charge, especially towards an unpredictable fate. This process of using his own strength to personally tilt the balance of victory to his side was what he was most obsessed with.
He...is naturally strong.
Zhong Tianlang's spear was also full of blood. As far as his eyes could see, he saw the Yan Army general in the distance, but it was a pity that the distance was too far and he could not face him.
When they first charged and collided, Zhong Tianlang was a little nervous, but after the collision, he was very happy;
The Daqian Iron Cavalry that he personally trained was not at a disadvantage at the beginning, but was on a par with the Yan Army.
This means,
A more sufficient number of actual troops, a more sufficient amount of food and wages, a more sufficient supply of war horses, armor, weapons and other subsequent supplies are indeed enough to create a truly elite existence;
Everyone knows that Daqian is rich.
But anyone can laugh at Da Gan's weakness.
The wealth that can be achieved does not lie in the people; the luxury that can be achieved does not lie in the army.
In this confrontation, Zhong Tianlang saw hope. He saw that Ganren's cavalry could be on an equal footing with the Yan army's cavalry. You must know that this Yan army is the Jindong cavalry!
It is in this hope that
Although they were evenly matched at the beginning, the knights of the Yan Army relied on their richer experience and more sophisticated practicality to plan and cooperate. Step by step, they were taking the battlefield pattern back into their hands with an attitude visible to the naked eye...
But Zhong Tianlang still doesn't think it's anything embarrassing.
They are elites who have fought in a hundred battles, they are really hardened iron. They can fight, endure, and persevere. This is what they should be.
But as long as Daqian is still there and the people in Daqian territory are still there, and Zhong Tianlang is given another five years, he can build [-] or more Daqian cavalry. By then, it will not be the Yan people who have the final say on the battlefield pattern!
As the first general to take the initiative to take the initiative to make in-depth detours,
When he was young, Zhong Tianlang even led his army into Yinlang County's defense line.
Asking for directions, where is Zheng Shoubei himself?
He also patrolled to the foot of Cuiliu Fort and asked where Cuiliu Fort was.
Although when I think about it now, it seems a bit ridiculous, even a bit silly,
But at the beginning, Zheng Shoubei, who was so proud of himself, was so frightened that he trembled continuously.
Even later, Zheng Fan, who was already the regent, commented on the few people who had been alongside him at that time. The young barbarian prince and Nian Eunuch had long been swept into the ashes, but he did not say much about the prince consort of the Qian Kingdom. .
From the collision to the fierce battle, the Qianguo cavalry began to gradually become exhausted without an obvious numerical advantage.
After the two sides staggered, divided, and strangled,
Zhong Tianlang had to issue a military order to withdraw troops.
It is a withdrawal, not a retreat.
When the Qianjun retreated, they also ensured basic organization and good morale, because they knew that there was a city behind them to protect them.
In addition, at the right time, Chen Xianba ordered to stop the pursuit, gather his troops and horses, and at the same time sent a message to the other two departments.
This is a very pure war,
Not too much sloppiness,
Let's do it simply,
One side loses, the other side wins,
The losing side withdrew again, and the winning side did not choose to continue fighting.
Chen Xianba sat on the back of the Pi beast, put away his meteor hammer and hung it on both sides of the mount.
The progress of the Gan people surprised him. At least in terms of the use and combat of cavalry, although the Gan army in front of him was not as elite as the Yan army, it was much better than the Chu army's cavalry.
In terms of losses, Ganjun's losses were definitely greater, but as long as they were not defeated and turned into a situation where the entire Yan army was chasing pigs, these losses were within the acceptable range.
So,
The winning side only feels that winning is a bit dry;
The losing side is somewhat complacent, as if they lost in the present but won in the future.
By the afternoon, the Yan army had completed the merger.
Chen Xianba sat there and watched Tiantian and Zheng Man walking towards him.
Tiantian was fine and had no injuries, but Zheng Man had his armor removed and his body was bandaged.
Chen Xianba silently clenched his fists,
He really wanted to stage a "brother-friend-brother-respect" show for his two brothers at this time, but he held back.
And Zheng Man, when he came with Tiantian, learned about the beautiful misunderstanding that "you and I have nothing to offer", seeing Chen Xianba again was like a little quail meeting the unreasonable Ah Huang;
Shrinking his neck, dodging his gaze, he silently said to himself: Xian Ba, you must control yourself.
Tiantian is quite excited because he won the battle.
And to a certain extent, he actually made no mistakes, because he was doing things in accordance with the highest instructions of his father;
However, my father is never wrong.
"sit."
Chen Xianba said.
Zheng Man sat down politely, and Tiantian also sat down.
Chen Xianba leaned forward slightly,
He opened his mouth and said:
"From now on, everything will be subject to our military orders. Who has any objections?"
Tiantian shook his head, he had no objection.
Zheng Man nodded first, then immediately shook his head, and nodded again, indicating that he didn't either.
Chen Xianba said again:
"Next time we encounter this kind of situation, the three of us, with our own soldiers and horses next to each other, and without the exact king's order, will still obey my orders. Who has any objection?"
Tiantian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head to indicate that he didn't.
Zheng Man stood up with a "thump" sound.
Staring at Chen Xianba,
asked:
"What did you say!"
Chen Xianba stared back at Zheng Man, cracking his knuckles.
Zheng Man continued vigorously:
"That's it!"
Chen Xianba’s “ungrateful” reputation was lost.
Zheng Man was really worried that Chen Xianba would take revenge and feed feces into his mouth overnight.
After all, it is a friendship that was born from being beaten since childhood. There is really no need for any steps to bow down and give in.
Chen Xianba also directly exposed everything before and did not intend to pursue it any further.
Because the source of everything lies in the prince’s empty tips bag, which is almost free of charge.
But it is a "heinous crime" to criticize the prince at any time. Not to mention other people's reactions, even Chen Xianba himself can't get over it.
And after such a time,
I defeated Ganjun and reversed the situation on the Jiangdong battlefield. Even if I was given full command from the beginning, this would be the only thing I could achieve.
After all, what I didn't expect before was that this dry army cavalry was so capable of fighting.
"The question now is..."
Chen Xianba picked up a tree branch and scratched it on the ground.
"I gave way to Menhai Town, and now I have driven the Prince Consort into Menhai Town. After this defeat, he will not dare to leave the city to fight again in a short period of time.
And behind, there are two groups of trash from the army. According to what you said, these trash groups are very cautious.
In addition, there are two groups of Ganjun cavalry with a total of more than [-] people roaming outside. I am afraid that they will find out that they have fallen into the trap and get reinforcements soon.
Now relying on the momentum of our recent victory, we can continue to block the prince-in-law here. Ganren is also worried that we will gather around to come for help. Even if it is a rescue, he will be very cautious, and even go to the turtle shell to play slowly. tactics.
And it is difficult for us to leave calmly. "
Zheng Man nodded and said, "It's a pity that I didn't swallow him whole."
Chen Xianba shook his head and said: "The bones are too hard to be chewed off.
The situation has changed. It was the consort who tied us up before;
Now, we are the ones tying up the prince-in-law;
There is no way we can leave this prince-in-law here. Let’s pat our butts and head west. By then, we will be flanked.
In the end, they were still tied to each other,
Therefore,
On the prince's side,
How to do? "
the city walls,
Zhong Tianlang had just inspected the wounded and promised rewards after the war. After boosting morale, Zhong Tianlang walked onto the city wall.
He did not think that the Yan army would attack the city, so he did not feel that he would be in any danger.
Even though he lost the battle, he didn't panic. The situation was still the same. His original mission was to block the Yan army in the three towns from crossing the river.
Fingertips caressing the battlements,
murmured:
"That side of Jinghai is very lively."
……
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The boulders were thrown in, part of them hit the city wall, and part of them hit the city directly.
Even though the residents inside were all Gan people, the Gan army attacking the city showed no mercy at all.
For this big pocket, Ganren paid a huge price, not even hesitating to let Jiangnan fall into the flames of war, and not hesitate to let a huge gap appear in the northern defense line;
So, this time, they did not hesitate!
After the trebuchet was finished, Qian Jun launched the third siege of the day.
The regent's royal flag has been standing on the city tower, boosting the morale of the defenders. However, the regent himself is not on the city tower at the moment. He is in the house where he lived before.
Feeding the fish.
The blind man, Xie Yu'an and other generals wanted to come to see them, but Zheng Fan ordered them to stop them.
But there is one person who is difficult for the guards to stop, and that is His Royal Highness;
Especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rarely said:
When "I want to see my dad",
The guards could only withdraw and let them go.
There was a fierce killing on the city wall outside, but here I was holding a steamed bun, pinching the crumbs, and feeding the fish. The corners of Zheng Lin's mouth twitched subconsciously.
When Qian Jun appeared on the outskirts of Jinghai City, Zheng Lin was thrown outside by his father to "preside over the situation."
At any meeting, the prince who was supposed to sit at the head of the table was replaced by His Highness the Crown Prince.
His father had just thought about giving him a chance to follow Brother Tian to fight, but as soon as his forefoot touched the ground, he immediately set him up as a puppet... No, there wasn't even a string. !
"You are so interested..."
While saying this in a mocking tone,
Zheng Lin watched his mother walk out with a fruit plate;
"I'm so excited...Dad."
"Ha ha."
Zheng Fan smiled and continued to feed the goldfish.
The fruit was cut and toothpicks were inserted. Moreover, his mother picked it up with her own hands and fed it to his father's mouth.
"A little sour."
Zheng Fan took the second bite and didn't want to eat anymore.
"I'm afraid you'll be in a bad mood, so I deliberately didn't pick anything sweet." Siniang smiled.
"If you're in a good or bad mood, don't delay eating or drinking." Zheng Fan said.
"Yes, a husband is a husband after all."
Saying that, Si Niang pointed to the fruit plate,
Road:
"Son, eat it."
"..." Zheng Lin.
Zheng Lin finally came over, picked up the fruit plate and started eating.
It was a bit sour, but not hard to swallow. As he ate it, Zheng Lin couldn't help but curse his father even more.
Finally, I finished eating and put down my plate.
"Dad, there's a war outside."
"I know."
Zheng Fan continued to scatter the crumbs of the steamed buns and said without raising his head:
"It's not a problem to be able to hold on for another seven or eight days."
Although there are not as many soldiers and horses in the city as the cadres outside, there are still more than 2 soldiers. If the city is defended well and there is no shortage of food and grass, the cadres can do nothing but grind.
This grind takes time, and even if you trade your life for a life, you have to hold the heavens in your hands and change it slowly.
"But the situation won't last long."
"I know that too."
"You...there's nothing you can do?"
Zheng Fan shook his head,
But I seem to have thought of something again,
Road:
"Have."
"Have?"
"Yes, in three days, you can go sit under the royal flag on my side of the tower, just in time to boost morale."
"The Ganjun trebuchets keep hitting them every day!"
"Did you kill someone?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Of course he was smashed to death."
"Well, in a war, other people's sons can be beaten to death, but my son, Zheng Fan, can't be beaten to death?"
"If I tell you to go, just go." Siniang said, "If you don't go, I will sew it on a chair for you."
"..." Zheng Lin.
Zheng Fan laughed and said: "When some time passes and the situation collapses, I will replace you. Think about it. Originally, everyone's expectations were on me. You go first. If it doesn't work, prove it." If you can't do it, if I come out again, won't everyone be able to ignite a wave of hope again?"
"Is this your strategy, dad?"
"Isn't it great?"
"Dad, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"
"Tsk, how can you believe it? I really didn't leave or arrange anything on purpose."
"So dad, you're just feeding the fish here to appease the soldiers?"
"If you really want to appease the military, you shouldn't secretly feed the fish here. Didn't I just say that? It's not that time yet."
At this time, a messenger came in and reported:
"Report, Your Majesty, the Chu army flag appears in the south direction of the city!"
The Royal Imperial Army in Mingsu City rebelled. This was something everyone had guessed, but here's the problem. Originally everyone just guessed, but there was some luck or something.
Even if it really doesn't work, even if you rebel, you can just sit back and watch the fight.
But now, the Chu army has turned against them, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the Jinghai defenders.
"understood."
Zheng Fan waved his hand.
"Already know?" Zheng Lin asked.
The fish in the pond seemed to have finally been fed to their full capacity.
Zheng Fan clapped his hands,
Road:
"Or else?"
"I hope dad, you really have a way, otherwise..."
Si Niang raised her eyebrows slightly.
Road:
"How about otherwise?"
"I... can only try my best to protect my parents and break out."
"Hehehe."
Zheng Fan laughed,
reach out,
Patted his son on the head;
"To the south, you can go with him, mainly to the north..."
"Tongyancheng?"
"Yeah." Zheng Fan responded.
At this time,
Another messenger came over to report:
"Report, Xie's light cavalry appeared in the north of the city, but before our army could respond, they were strangled and annihilated by the surrounding troops."
"Hahahahaha..."
After hearing this military report,
The prince laughed,
The slightly leisurely atmosphere created by feeding the fish before was gone at this moment.
He turned around, looked at the empty fruit plate, and couldn't help but say:
"You brat, I just ate it all and didn't even leave any for you and me."
"..." Zheng Lin.
"Husband, wait a moment while I get ready."
"I want to eat hot pot."
"Okay, okay." Siniang got up and got ready.
Zheng Lin still stayed where he was,
The prince was a little confused and said:
"The city has been besieged for such a long time, and there are not many fresh ingredients. Why, you want to share your hotpot too?"
"What do you mean? Why are you so happy all of a sudden and have a better appetite?"
The prince held the belt of his python robe with both hands,
Road:
"That old dog of the Xie family, for Xie Yu'an's sake, would never choose to join forces with the Qian army like the Royal Forbidden Army before the Jinghai City was broken.
It can be said that everything is for his son.
But look,
Now that old dog is so desperate.
You can still send someone over, knowing that you are throwing firewood into the fire and there will be no return, but you still want us, father and son, to hear the sound.
Do you know why? "
"He...he wants to win."
"Hehehe, no, no..."
The prince lowered his body,
Put your face in front of Zheng Lin,
whispered:
"He doesn't just want to win,
he,
I’m also thinking of sharing the hot pot with us in the future. "
