Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 335 Inspiring a fight to the death

The cavalry came and went like the wind. Huan Xi was sitting on what could be said to be the most elite group of cavalry in this era, but he was trapped on a mound.

Shen Chiqian didn't care whether the five thousand Guan Long Tuqi who had fought to exhaustion could escape intact once his troops withdrew. As Huan Xi's Zuo Lang general, he only cared about Huan Xi's safety.

"Gong Liang, enemy reinforcements have arrived. Murong Ke is encircling three towers. There are no reinforcements on the west side. Please ask Duke Liang to lead his army to break through."

Shen Chiqian begged.

Yang An was having the wound on his left arm treated by a military doctor. When he heard this, he ignored the pain and echoed:
"How can Mr. Liang put himself in danger when he has the hope of the common people in the world? I am willing to judge for Mr. Liang with his subordinates!"

Seeing this, the other generals also persuaded Huan Xi to leave, fearing that they would be left behind.

Huan Xi's eyes swept over everyone, and he knew that some of them were sincerely thinking about their own safety, while others just wanted to take this opportunity to show their loyalty to him.

Of course, no matter whether their motives are pure or not, these people are all good subordinates of Huan Xi. After all, in critical moments, they think about showing loyalty instead of seeking glory as a seller, which can already explain a lot of problems.

You know, the reward offered by the Yan State to Huan Xi, but in order to shake the military morale of the Liang soldiers, Wang Jue and Murong Ke had people shout at the foot of the mountain before preparing for the second round of attacking the mountain. This reward was of great significance to the Liang people. Said to be equally valid.

Of course, commanding operations cannot be as simple as motivating soldiers.

As soon as these words came out, the three armies were in awe, and no one dared to persuade Huan Xi to leave. Huan Xi's impassioned speech also boosted the morale of the soldiers.

In other words, even Liang Jun soldiers can be crowned kings with different surnames as long as they deliver Huan Xi's head and have Murong Ke as a guarantee.

"I often mentioned to my father that the Huan family's success today was all due to the dedication of the three armies and the soldiers fighting to the death.

After saying that, Huan Xi drew his sword and shouted sharply:
"Reinforcements will be coming soon. Anyone who dares to retreat and disturbs the morale of our army will be bloodied on the spot. Don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship!"

Yang An didn't give up, he said angrily:

"If Duke Liang doesn't believe it, An will ride into the enemy formation alone and get an enemy general's head for Duke Liang!"

Murong Ke's move was nothing more than psychological warfare.

Huan Xi cherishes his life, but he knows that he cannot retreat.

Murong Ke's plan was to besiege on three sides, and Huan Xi also needed to make arrangements, focusing on defending the east, north, and south sides, while leaving only a thousand cavalry on the west side to prevent the enemy from sneaking up from the west. .

"When I was fifteen years old, I followed my father to conquer the Cheng Han Dynasty. It has been eleven years since then. During this period, I have recovered Guanlong, captured Hetao, plundered Luoyang, and pacified Liangzhou. I have made outstanding achievements and can be called the pillar of the Jin Dynasty.

When the generals were receiving their orders, one person was dissatisfied and said:
"Mr. Liang, why don't you have the mission of being the last general?"

"Gong Liang, please don't look down on Yang. He is only slightly injured and does not hinder the fight.

"In the past, I was sure to conquer every attack and win every battle. I never abandoned a single soldier and was always with you.

However, not to mention that only close confidants could get close to Huan Xi. Even if his head was taken in full view of the public, he would not be able to receive the reward from Yan State with his life.

"Today, the situation is critical, and I will not escape alone. I swear to live and die with you all!"

Huan Xi was not angry at his rudeness, but patiently explained:
"You are wounded by an arrow now. How can you fight again? Rest your body for the time being. You will be able to contribute in the future."

After Yang An bandaged his left arm, he put on the armor again. Seeing that all the generals had their own tasks, but his was missing, Yang An couldn't help but question.

After saying that, Yang An was about to get on his horse.

Seeing this, Huan Xi quickly grabbed his reins and scolded:

"How can you be so motivated?" But seeing Yang An's eagerness to fight, Huan Xi had no choice but to shake his head and said:

"That's all."

With that said, Huan Xi shouted loudly:
"Yang An!"

Yang An quickly knelt down and cupped his hands:

"The general is here!"

Huan Xi looked down at Yang An and asked in a deep voice:
"I order you to command your cavalry and continue to guard the east side. Don't let the enemy troops go up the mountain. Can you do it?"

Yang An responded loudly.

"The general is willing to issue a military order and fight to the death without retreating even a step."

"it is good!"

Huan Xi helped Yang An up and immediately asked the generals to do their own thing.

Among them, Youlang General Suo Bao led the Youlang Guards from the west side to patrol down the mountain, leaving only Shen Chiqian's Zuolang Guards to protect Huan Xi.

Although Murong Ke opened the road to the west, Huan Xi's cautious and suspicious character still worried that Murong Ke had hidden an ambush in the west.

After all, there was another army, but Huan Xi never got any information about it. It was Li Wei's 50,000 cavalry who disappeared last night.

Huan Xi is not an immortal, and he cannot do calculations. Of course, it is not clear that Li Wei actually headed towards Wenxi County in order to avoid Liang Jun's scouts. It was not until he reached the border between Anyi and Wenxi that he turned back and headed south. After a while, it became obvious that they would not be able to reach this battlefield.

Don't look at Huan Xi's words that he will not abandon his soldiers and will live and die with them, but if the situation is really critical, he will naturally imitate the gecko and cut off his tail to survive, leaving Yang An's exhausted troops to cut off the rear. Evacuate with the remaining soldiers.

Arranging for Suo Bao to patrol the west side is actually preparing for this and ensuring safety during retreat.

Although Huan Xi accepted the mass view of history rather than the heroic view of history, he had to admit that many times, the masses also needed heroes to stand up and lead them as leaders.

Huan Xi knew his responsibility. He came to this era, whether it was for his own desire for power or for the common people in the world, Huan Xi wanted to end this troubled world.

It was just that Suo Bao was arranged to go on inspection and Shen Chiqian was left behind, which actually reflected the closeness between the two in Huan Xi's heart.

In terms of ability, Shen Chiqian was no match for Suo Bao, who was called the reincarnation of Guan Yu by the Liangzhou people, but Huan Xi still trusted Shen Chiqian more, despite being offered a reward for his head by the Yan State.

Huan Xi was not only the lord of Shen Jin, Shen Chiqian and his son, but also had great kindness to the entire Wuxing Shen family.

Back then, Shen Jin wasted his time in Jiankang. Because he was the son of a traitor, no one wanted to use him. It was Huan Xi who had a keen eye for talents and gave Shen Jin the chance to wash away the humiliation of his clan. It was also Huan Xi who petitioned the imperial court and dismissed Wu Xing and Shen Jin. His imprisonment.

If he had to choose one person between Suo Bao and Shen Chiqian to stay and guard him, if Huan Xi chose 10,000 times, it would only be Shen Chiqian.

"The victorious and defeated soldiers have unexpected family affairs. It is a man's shame to bear shame." There are many talented people from Jiangdong, and their comeback is unknown. '

Huan Xi recited Du Mu's "Ti Wu Jiang Pavilion" silently in his heart, and then shook his head. He just felt unlucky. The winner was still undecided.

Under the ramps on the east, south and north sides, the Yan and Yu armies had already formed their formations and assumed an attack posture. There was a slight cold glow in the sunlight.

Murong Ke knew that time was running out. After all the troops were ready, as the trumpet sounded, the Yan and Yu coalition forces surrounding the three sides of the mound launched an attack together.
