Devil’s Advent

The army formation of the Qingluan Army is extremely neat, with big Chu and heavy infantry. First, Chu State faced the same problem as Qian State, lacking horses. At the same time, one's opponent is often the key to determine one's own development ideas.

For hundreds of years, the Yan people had to face the barbarians in the desert, so they had to have their own iron cavalry to compete with the barbarians.

The Chu people need to fight with those Shanyue people in the poor mountains and rivers. Although the glorious era of the Shanyue people has long passed, their resistance is still one after another. Chu's heavy infantry and navy.

at the moment,

The thousands of Yan troops who just killed the river basically didn't have any horses. The military adventure of the First Prince should have been a success in itself, but he didn't expect that in Yupan City, there was actually an elite of the Chu Kingdom hidden all the time.

Thinking about it this way, the new dynasty established by Situ Yi is really like a spittoon, it will collapse after being used up by all forces without mercy.

Qu is preparing wine and drinking water in the city, and asked the Prince of Yan to show his face.

The state of Chu is governed by a coalition of nobles, each of which has its own fiefdoms, and pays great attention to bloodlines and inheritance.

When Yao Zizhan was young, he liked to criticize incidents. He once said: Dry etiquette is complicated and cumbersome, while Chu etiquette repeats ancient times.

It means that people's pursuit of etiquette is how to make it complicated, formalized, and complicated.

The people of Chu, on the other hand, are constantly pursuing the traditions of their ancestors, and they all pay attention to aligning with their ancestors. The most obvious point is that in Chu State, there are still ancient professions such as witch doctors, and there are also witch doctors in the palace of Chu State. Medical supervisors, they devoted themselves to finding and discovering the healing methods of the ancient sages.

At the same time, there is another characteristic in the state of Chu, that is, if there is a rebellion or a military dispute in the country, the soldiers can die, but if the nobles and generals of both sides are captured or surrendered, they must be treated with courtesy and sent back at the same time. At most, with some ransom.

Therefore, Qu Tiannan invited the eldest prince into the city at this time, saying that he was preparing water and wine, but he was really not lying.

The eldest prince held the knife in his hand and smiled,

The history can be checked. The Ji family has emperors who died in battle, but they have never had descendants who surrendered to the enemy!

Qu Tiannan froze for a moment, then nodded.

Everyone has different cultural concepts, so their thinking patterns are also different. In Qu Tiannan's view, it is a bit self-deprecating for the prince of the Yan people to not cherish his noble blood so much.

Qu Tiannan waved his finger forward,

The Qingluan army began to press on.

Li Bao took a deep breath and roared:

The Zhenbei Army has everyone!

Tiger!

Tiger!

Tiger!

All Yan soldiers held their sabers, and the archers drew their bows and arrows again.

Li Bao looked back at the First Prince, and said: Your Highness, please retreat, we will end the queen for His Highness.

Didn't you hear what Gu just said?

Death is easy, but living is actually more difficult. After the war, someone has to take responsibility. Facing Your Majesty and the anger of your subjects, please Your Highness, live and take responsibility.

On the battlefield, mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not allowed.

Besides, your head is more precious, and you will not want Chu people to hang your head on the flagpole to show off your power.

The words have been said very bluntly.

The plan to raid Yupan City had already been declared a failure when the Qingluan Army of Chu State appeared.

The Wangjiang Battle of the Eastern Expeditionary Army will end with heavy losses.

Right now, dying in battle seems to be a good destination, because the Yan people have not experienced such a failure in the past hundred years, especially in the past few years with the series of great victories achieved by the two princes of Zhenbei Hou and Jingnan Hou, which made the Yan people All of a sudden, everyone from the imperial court to the army to the people felt that the black dragon's banner was invincible, and this was the attitude that Dayan should have.

Your Highness, you know what kind of temperament Li Fusheng is, let him clean up the mess, if he gets sick, he dares to slaughter Yingdu from top to bottom.

You still have to go back and recuperate the troops. We can't cross this river, but we can't let the Chu people and the savages fight over easily.

The face of the eldest prince twitched a little, and Li Bao said what he thought in his heart. As a prince, and also a prince who was trained by his father as a future, he didn't have the courage to face this defeat at all. future blame.

No matter how many reasons there are, the defeated general is incompetent!

Self-guard camp, escort His Highness across the river!

Li Bao issued an order to the guard battalion,

immediately,

He didn't hide anything from his subordinates,

shouted:

Everything owned by the Zhenbei Army, follow me to be your Highness' queen. Let's just fight to the death and be heroes, and the First Prince will live and wipe our asses for us!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

The whole army roared with laughter, but there was no desolation of being a broken army, and there was only heroism.

The eldest prince bit his lip. At this moment, what he thought of was Tian Wujing. When that man decided to destroy his family, was he also determined to deal with the criticisms of Qing History and the world, just like himself now?

But no matter what, he is the coach. Li Bao is right, death is easy, and the prince who dies in battle will also be very tragic. At least, he can earn some tears from his father.

When a person dies in battle, no matter how serious the mistake is, there is no need to pursue it. The world is always very tolerant of the dead.

But on the other side of the river, there is still a large army waiting for him, he has to put the situation in order, otherwise once it collapses...

Without the help of his personal guards, the First Prince started to run by himself, go back, go back, go back...

And behind the eldest prince,

Facing the ever-approaching Qingluan Army,

Li Bao raised the knife with one arm:

Ambition to fall into battle!

Thousands of Beijun soldiers around town shouted in unison:

There is death and there is no life!

………

The flower boat had already approached the gate of the sluice city, and the young man sighed with emotion:

If I remember correctly, the opponent's central army is the so-called Zhenbei army, right?

The sword maker nodded and said:

It is a sharp knife honed by the Yan people with the barbarians.

Oh, it's a pity that this time the Yan people lost only the left army. It would be great if the loss was the Zhenbei army.

Since such elites belong to other countries, it is natural that the more they die, the better.

The swordmaker said unceremoniously:

If it's the Zhenbei Army, do we dare to let them cross the river like the Left Route Army?

That's right, but I, Da Chu, have to take advantage of this opportunity to buy horses from wildlings and form my own cavalry. It is said that it is very expensive?

Quite expensive.

Then work harder, make more swords and sell them.

If you make too much, it's worthless.

Oh, tsk tsk.

The young man walked to the side of the boat,

Undoubtedly undoes the belt of the trousers,

When crossing the shore, I was scared to pee once, and now, it is the third time.

At this time, some of the corpses of the Yan people floating down from the upper reaches had merged into the tributaries, and the river water also began to turn red.

The boy didn't feel the thrill of winning a bet,

Looking at the corpses on the river,

It seems that even the pleasant urgency suddenly became dull.

………

On the other side, without any accident, Li Bao led his army to successfully intercept the Qingluan army, and the eldest prince was able to cross the river and return to the west bank.

Qingluan's military has been hiding in the city for a long time, so naturally it is impossible to make an outflank action in advance, fearing that it will be discovered in advance, and it is impossible to set up the so-called sky net.

The most important thing is that these thousands of Zhenbei Army soldiers burst out with extremely powerful fighting ideas.

Shanyue people are often brave and not afraid of death, and don't take their own lives seriously, probably because of the feeling that it doesn't matter if a life is cheap anyway.

The Qingluan army has been fighting against Shanyue all year round, so they should have been used to it for a long time.

But the group of Yan people in front of them are not only brave and fearless, but also their fighting experience and battle skills are far from what the so-called Shanyue tribe can compare.

The Zhenbei Army, which dismounted and fought on foot, was inseparable from the infantry-based Qingluan Army at the beginning. If it weren't for the Qingluan Army's obvious superiority in numbers, it would be hard to say who would win in the end.

The eldest prince who had returned from crossing the river knelt on the slope of the bank,

Looking at the corpses of Yan Jun floating down from the upper reaches ahead,

Li Fusheng came back, and left after receiving the order from the eldest prince to recuperate the entire army and retreat for thirty li.

The First Prince knelt here until nightfall, and until some warships from the upper reaches of the Chu State Navy came down, he did not see Li Bao's return.

Finally, he stood up slowly.

he,

I have to live.

He will become a sinner of Yan State and a disgrace to Ji Family.

Tian Wujing's folk reputation is not good, but what is bad is just the reputation. Yan people value military merits, and they are still convinced of Tian Wujing's ability to win battles.

Even if there are many people in the government and the public who have a very bad impression of Tian Wujing, but not many people make trouble, even if Tian Wujing shut himself up in the Jingnan Hou Mansion in Litian City, and did not even accept the imperial edict, the officials in the court What's more, I also want to maintain and cover up.

Without him, Tian Wujing can fight. With such a military god in the country, everyone can always feel a sense of security in their hearts.

And now,

As a prince, he,

defeated

Without military exploits, without victory as a foundation,

The so-called princely title,

will become worthless in an instant,

It may even become a kind of original sin of oneself.

Even the father who trusted him and sent him to the battle will be recorded in the history books of later generations:

Shang Chong believed in his son, and made war a trifling matter, which eventually led to a big mistake.

………

a few days later,

The extremely haggard Jin Shuke knelt down in front of Zheng Fan and reported the situation of the Wangjiang Battle.

Zheng Fan sat in the first seat,

The rest of the demon kings sat below.

Zheng Fan made the right bet again, he guessed that the wild man king would bring him a surprise, and the wild man king did not disappoint his expectation.

In the battle of Wangjiang, the main force of the left army of Yan State was almost wiped out, and the Wangjiang River was full of corpses of Yan people.

A big defeat came so suddenly.

only,

On Zheng Fan's face, he didn't bet on his far-sightedness at all,

Instead, he gently kneaded his brows with his fingers tiredly,

Slowly said:

It stands to reason that I should be happy to hear this news. But why do I feel a little sad?
