Wei Wuhou

Chapter 761
On the third day of August, Wei Wuji ordered the entire frontline army of the Wei army to attack in three groups.

Among them, the right army was led by Chen Zhan, with a total of [-] infantry and [-] cavalry.

The left army was led by Wang Xiu, with a total of [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, including [-] armored cavalry led by Yan Qing.

The Central Route Army, nominally led by Wei Wuji himself, included [-] Wei soldiers, and Hu Han's [-] armored cavalry.

Although on the surface, Chen Zhan's right army is the most numerous and powerful, but its actual combat strength is not as good as Wang Xiu's left army.

On the contrary, the one with the strongest combat effectiveness is the Central Route Army with only 3 people, because there are not only [-] armored cavalry under Hu Hansan, but also [-] Wei soldiers who have already shocked the world.

Under Wei Wuji's order, the right army led by Chen Zhan was the first to attack the left wing of the Qin army.

Followed by the left army led by Wang Xiu, they also launched an attack on the Qin army.

The central route army led by Wei Wuji adopted the strategy of advancing slowly, and the pace was full of the two armies on the left and right.

Wei Wuji knew very well that he didn't know how long it would take to force Qin Jun to take the initiative to attack, but Wei Guo couldn't delay it any longer.

Even on the front line, Wei Wuji has received continuous reports from Wu'an in recent days, telling him that the national treasury and the treasuries of various counties are in urgent need, and at most they can last for one month's needs of the army.

Simultaneous attack on the two fronts was a huge challenge to Qin's defense line. Without a strong city to rely on, although Qin's army had a superior force, it was difficult to resist Wei's attack.

The two armies on the left and right advanced smoothly, and began to engage in fierce battles with the soldiers in front of them, but the most powerful central army did not encounter the enemy.

The journey was peaceful, but this made the two veterans who commanded the soldiers feel abnormal, but they also had no fear of it in their hearts.

Martial pawns are already a powerful existence, and after being replaced by Wei Wuji in the past two years with iron armor and iron blade, they are even more powerful.

This made the two veterans who commanded the soldiers more confident that they could kill and tear all the enemies to pieces.

As veterans of the Zhaohou period, although Qi Yu and Xu Zhao helped Wei Wuji a lot in the process of succeeding to the throne, they were veterans of the former court after all.

These two men knew very well that leading troops to attack Qin this time should be the last time they led troops in their war careers.

Regardless of victory or defeat, the military pawns are a powerful force, and the monarch will promote his own people to lead them.

So at the end of their military careers, the two old brothers wanted to fight well, to win for their veterans, and at the same time earn enough merit for future generations.

Although it was said that Wei Wuji led the Central Route Army in person, it was actually impossible for him to go to the front line in person, otherwise the battle would be impossible.

So now Wei Wuji is waiting in Xiping, all matters are decided by Qi Yu, even Hu Hansan, the king's beloved general, must obey Qi Yu's orders.

As the army moved forward, Qi Yu and Xu Zhao discussed the military situation while they were on their way.

Because the main force is the infantry, Hu Hansan rarely had the chance to intervene until a scout came to report the situation to him.

Seeing the two veterans staring at him, Hu Hansan said bluntly: "Two generals, the scouts found that there is an army of Qin in front!"

So Hu Hansan saw joy in the eyes of the two veterans, and Xu Zhao stroked his beard and said, "It's finally here. The old man thought that he would return with nothing this time!"

On the contrary, Qi Yu said more cautiously: "What is the number of Qin's army?"

This Hu Hansan really couldn't answer. A national war of this scale is not a small battle with thousands of people, and the number of enemy troops is not so easy to figure out.

Seeing that he couldn't get an answer, Qi Yu immediately said to Xu Zhao: "Old Xu, in my opinion, you should immediately send an order to the whole army to line up and prepare for battle!"

Of course Xu Zhao would not object to this, and at this time Hu Hansan also asked: "Dare to ask the general, should our cavalry be arrayed on the left or right?"

Just when Hu Hansan was full of expectations, he heard Qi Yu reply: "You all follow the rear of my army, so that both the left and right wings can be prepared!"

It seemed that this fate was a bit strange, when Hu Hansan was about to ask why, Qi Yu directly issued an order to expel him, and asked him to execute the military order immediately.

So Hu Hansan left so passively, Wei Wuji asked him to obey Qi Yu's order, and at this time he could only follow orders.

Of course, at this time, Hu Hansan scolded the old man half to death in his heart. He was the king's confidant, and they dared to treat him like this.

After Hu Hansan left, Xu Zhao looked at his partner with deep meaning, and then asked, "Old Qi, if you drive Hu Hansan out like this, aren't you afraid that he will appeal to the prince?"

Qi Yu didn't take it seriously and said: "The army followed the order, even if the prince knows this, he can't blame me!"

Xu Zhao asked again: "Why is this so!"

Qi Yu quickly said: "The number of Qin's army is unknown, and both the left and right flanks of our army may be attacked by the enemy, so it is just right to let Hu Hansan live in the rear..."

But before Qi Yu finished speaking, Xu Zhao asked back: "Is it for military merit?"

Qi Yu couldn't help but froze in place, he didn't expect Xu Zhao to say that, but he didn't intend to refute it either!

Then, Xu Zhao asked: "Old Qi, do you know that if the army fails because of this, can you and I bear such a crime?"

After tidying up his armor, Qi Yu followed the way of the sword: "With my pawns, no matter how powerful the enemy is in front, it is a dead end... So, there is no such thing as defeat!"

The pawns are very strong, but the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention the opponent is also one of the powerful Qin.

Xu Zhao knew his old partner very well, so he knew that Qi Yu also understood this truth, which meant that the other party had other reasons for his decision.

So Xu Zhao asked again: "What is the reason?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Xu Zhao, Qi Yu sighed and said, "That's right, I sent Hu Hansan to the rear because of military merit!"

"But on the other hand, I also look out for us veterans, for the soldiers..."

Hearing this, Xu Zhao could roughly understand Qi Yu's thoughts.

Qi Yu then continued: "In the past few years, the monarch has vigorously promoted new generals, look, the commanders of the two armies on the left and right, and the new general of the Xiangping camp, who is not the old minister of the Junhou Qiandi... ..."

"Most of the generals in the Manchu Dynasty are newly promoted, but can we have a place for veterans?" Qi Yu asked calmly.

"As for my military pawn, I have been stationed in Wu'an for many years, and I have not gained any military merits... let alone lose the title of strong army!"

Xu Zhao still didn't speak, he was thinking about Qi Yu's thoughts, judging whether the other party had disobedience, whether he had lost his duty as a courtier.

Seemingly seeing through what Xu Zhao was thinking, he heard Qi Yu say, "Don't think too much, I will still be loyal to Wei and the monarch..."

Qi Yu said very solemnly: "I did this just to prove to the lord that we veterans... can also conquer enemy countries, and our military soldiers can also make meritorious deeds, not losing to those young people!"

As if moved by Qi Yu, Xu Zhao also said this time: "That's right...Since the 12th year of Zhaohou's Changping camp, my soldiers have never had a big battle!"

Wei Wuzu is Wei's most powerful hole card, since it is the hole card, he will not be deployed at will, so Wei Wuzu has not made any achievements in these years.

Everyone said that the military power of Wei's soldiers was the best in the world, and Qi Yu's words just now not only justified his own name, but also justified the names of the soldiers.

At this time, Qi Yu asked with red eyes: "Then, why don't you and I join hands and beat the Qin army in front of us...Use the blood of the Qin people to tell the world that Wei Wuzu, who has been silent for many years, is still the same Wei Wuzu... !"

Looking at Qi Yu, the order had been conveyed and carried out, Xu Zhao knew there was no way out.

So he drew out his saber, pointed directly at the sky and said, "If that's the case, then kill!"
