The devil is coming

Chapter 520
The soldiers and horses of the two battalions in the east and west of Zhennanguan have been dispatched. The first to be dispatched were the cavalry from the two battalions, each with ten thousand. However, although the Yan army was there, these two cavalry did not choose to outflank them. Instead, they coordinated the Chu army's infantry in the village and began to advance slowly.
In fact, the use of cavalry is not a secret to any experienced general.
Its main feature lies in its mobility that far exceeds that of infantry.
Most of the time, as soon as the battlefield is laid out and the so-called heavy armored cavalry is excluded, the cavalry will most likely be sent out, either to cover the battlefield or to take detours. In short, they will be very free.
But these two cavalrymen of the Chu army seemed to be bound there, chained with two chains, and they could not be said to be free at all.
Because their generals and coaches did not dare to give them freedom.
According to common sense, to capture an enemy force that is alone and deep in the enemy's territory, one should first compress its maneuvering space, block its retreat, and finally force it to engage in a decisive battle with itself.
Compressing space is what the cavalry should do, but Nian Yao did not dare to let the Chu people's extremely precious cavalry do such a thing.
If it were other Yan generals, they might have done this, but the commander of the army on the opposite side was Tian Wujing!
Nian Yao knew that if he dared to send it out, Tian Wujing would dare to eat it.
There are not many cavalry in Dachu, and they are more needed to coordinate and coordinate with each other during defensive battles. If they were lost in vain on the battlefield in the wild, Yao would have really lost his mind that year. .
however,
The Yan army has already arrived here and can overlook Zhennanguan. It would be inappropriate for you to do nothing.
It is one thing to admire the Nanhou of Yan. After all, it can be said that heroes cherish heroes;
But if they were really scared to the point of cowering down and not daring to make the slightest move, the blow to their morale would undoubtedly be huge.
The Yan people can boast that the Yan cavalry is invincible in the field. There was even a saying in Xuehaiguan that "the cavalry of Yan is invincible if it is less than [-] cavalry";
But as your opponent, you must not admit it!
If you accept it, then the soldiers below will naturally begin to recognize it subconsciously. It is true that defensive warfare is defensive warfare, but defense is to drain the opponent's blood and wait for opportunities!
If he is really reduced to a scumbag like Gan Ren, who will collapse when he leaves the city, then what the hell is that?
Therefore, General Nian must send troops.
However, the troops have been sent out. As for what to do after the troops are sent out, well... there are too many things to think about.
The soldiers and horses of the two strongholds in the east and west were more like seeing off guests than attacking.
The infantry formation was in the center, and the cavalry provided support and pressed forward steadily.
The north gate of Zhennanguan has never been opened since the beginning.
The royal flag of King Jingnan was still standing there, and for a moment, there was a sense of change of host and guest.
General Nian stood on the tower, his eyes bloodshot.
He was bloodshot, not because of nervousness, but because he hadn't slept for two days, so he was naturally suffering a bit, but his mind was still very clear now.
He has already seen the plans of the Yan people.
I arranged a bag myself, but King Jingnan threw a nail into it.
The so-called battlefield game is actually very similar to the martial arts competition between Jianghu and Jianghu.
Nian Yao knew what Tian Wujing and his army were here to do. It was obvious that the enemy was not really here to attack the city. How could you come up to the high and majestic Zhennanguan Pass with just a click of your horse's hooves?
But it happens that the more dangerous it is at this time, the more dangerous it is. You think that people are not here to fight a serious battle but just to hold off the battle, but they may really put on a fake show for you.
However, General Nian Nian's military forts in the north were "watched" by various Yan troops. Therefore, the soldiers and horses he could use were limited, and he was naturally a little helpless in dealing with it.
However, after the soldiers and horses from the east and west villages were slowly pressed out, military orders were issued by General Nian. The soldiers and horses from the rear camp would soon arrive. In addition, the soldiers and horses from the north would also arrive in half a day. Complete a new round of adjustments.
At the very least, Dugu Nian and Xiao Lou's two highly mobile troops could return to defense quickly.
It's like turning a rope, you break me, and I turn you again, to see who has the fastest reaction, and whose hand speed is clever.
By that time, the Yan troops and horses were scattered outside, and the Chu army could form a sufficient local superiority.
You can eat them at Yangshan Village; even Tian Wujing and Nian Yao from Zhennan Pass had the courage to make dumplings.
Different from the Chu army in the east and west villages who were walking on thin ice and slowly pressing forward, on the Yan army's side, except for the sentry cavalry and probing horses on the periphery, the army was actually completely resting.
The army is coming at a gallop, which is a waste of horsepower. It is a top priority to seize the time to build up horsepower.
Even King Jingnan's brave animal was lying on its side on the ground, letting its belly bask in the sun.
Tian Wujing himself was sitting on the ground beside him.
At this time, the Chu people's cautiousness and careful layout seemed to be a kind of flattery to a blind man.
……
More than twenty miles south of Xishan Fort, Gongwang's troops were slowly forming a Chu army.
The Chu army had a neat appearance and bright armor. At first glance, it looked like they were not the private soldiers of the nobles of the Chu people, but the forbidden army of the Chu royal family.
They came out of Xishan Fort. Facing the soldiers and horses leaving the fort, Gong Wang did not order to kill them directly, because the other party had already made preparations for his attack.
Gong Wang remembered that during the military meeting, King Jingnan once said that Yangshan Village was a bait set by the Chu people, and the army in front of him must be the first mover placed by the Chu people in advance for this bait.
The two armies, just like this, you are in front and I am behind. They seem to be in peace with each other, but they are facing each other from a distance.
The reason why this "spectacle" occurs is because other departments are watching each other and are unable to exert pressure and provide support from other aspects.
In the end, the Chu people were marching and the Yan people were escorting, and both of them were running at a slow pace.
"General, I just responded to the survey. Chu troops have also come out from Dongshan Fort. Gongsun Zhi's army has the same choice as ours." Vice General Lin Juexun reported.
"Ah."
Gong Wang nodded.
"General, it's been more than a day at Yangshan Village and there's still no results." Lin Jue said with some worry.
"Why are you so anxious? It's Uncle Hirano after all. Could there be any accidents?"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens..."
"There is no chance." Gong Wang seemed very confident about this, "Some people are destined to stand in front of the stage and be admired by others. King Jingnan is such a person, and Uncle Pingye is also such a person. Humanoid.
For this kind of person, the more big scenes are given to him, the better he will perform, and he will never stretch his hips in big scenes. "
"General, you have never spoken like this before."
"Before the war started, King Jingnan had already placed my tribe and Gongsun Zhi's tribe under the control of that Ping Ye Bo, so I have to hope for my own help, right?"
"It's just that I don't think the general is happy to be inferior to others."
Now, the army is marching, and Gong Wang is surrounded by personal guards whom he absolutely trusts to protect him, so he can speak more freely.
"It's not about being inferior to others, but that's the general trend today. The Yan people are at the top, and I, the Jin people, naturally have to be at the bottom. In today's land of three Jins, as a Jin person, it is really difficult to get ahead.
It is because of the legacy of the late emperor that I, the general, can continue to act as a general of Jin in this current situation.
Therefore, this attack on Chu is extremely critical.
Nowadays, the people of Jin are dwarfed by the people of Yan. There is nothing that can be done about it. But as long as Zhennan Pass is broken and the soldiers enter the Chu territory, they will not be able to destroy Chu. But at least, among us, the people of Jin, There must be a group of people from Chu below, but I, from Jin, are not at the bottom.
Secondly, the real long-cherished wish of the Yan people was not to attack Chu, but to attack Qian. This time they attacked Chu and used all the strength of the country. In fact, it was because if Chu was not conquered, the land of Jin would be difficult to level. The attack on Chu was also to secure the land of Jin. . "
"Are we in Jindi?"
"Yes, only when the land of Jin is stable, the people of Yan will let go of their defenses. I won't say anything, general. Anyway, I have already sat in this position with a shameless face, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with in my heart.
As for you and Lin'er, you will really have a chance to stand out in the future. "
Lin'er is the son of Gong Wang. Gong Lin is now a vanguard general in the army. At this time, he is leading a group of soldiers and horses to suppress the Chu army.
paused,
Gong Wang continued:
"Also, there should be a deeper reason for placing our department and Gongsun Zhi's department under the command of Hirano Bo. In my opinion, it is not simply to cooperate with this offensive, nor is it simply The ground just gave me the lead of the three troops on the east side.
Rather, it has the embryonic form of post-war reward based on merit.
Once Zhennan Pass is broken, the land of Eastern Jin, which was originally devastated due to frequent wars, will be re-established under the rule. If the Chu Kingdom can be destroyed in one battle, that will be fine. If not, then the land of Eastern Jin will be destroyed. Firstly, it can continue to suppress the Chu State, secondly, it can be wary of savages, and thirdly, it can frighten the entire Three Jin Dynasty. "
"General, what you mean is that Zhennanguan will also be guarded by Hirano Bo?"
"It may be him, but Uncle Pingye already has a Xueguan Pass. It would be inappropriate to station them at Zhennanguan Pass. According to this general, Gongsun Zhi's department should be suitable for stationing at Zhennanguan Pass in the future.
It is very likely that our troops will be stationed in the current Fengxin City, and our three troops will guard this important area in eastern Shanxi in the future.
And above the three tribes, there should be a mansion. Even if it is not as good as the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and Jingnan Marquis Mansion of the Yan people, it is just inferior to them.
Don’t forget, Uncle Hirano has the responsibility of becoming a great general;
At that time, Hirano Boshi will be in charge of Xue Customs and nominally in charge of Gongsun Zhi's Ministry and our Ministry. This will be the great general of Chengguo in name only. "
"The court has been planning this step for a long time?" Lin Jue was a little shocked.
"I don't know, I'm not sure, but when the Yan people conquered the Helian family and Wen family, the Jin emperor first opened the Nanmen Pass in person, and then all the villages in Nanmen Pass turned against each other. This shows that the Yan people have been very successful in this place in the past few years. How much effort has gone into it.
I think at the beginning, all the countries in the East called the Yan people Yan barbarians, but in fact, the current Emperor Yan knows how to plan and act later than any emperor of his generation.
If you really made up your mind early on to hand over this place to one person to guard it, then Uncle Hirano would be the most suitable person based on emotion, reason, merit and hard work.
Therefore, in this battle of Yangshan Village, millions of troops set up a platform for Ping Yebo alone. Naturally, what he asked for was the key to breaking the war. Everyone knew that the heartland of Yangshan Village was taken away. Subsequently, the Yan people The sentry cavalry and probing horses can completely compress the Chu people's activities as if they were in uninhabited territory, and the Chu people will face the situation of having their teeth pulled out one by one by our army because of losing this dangerous land.
But in the final analysis, the King of Jingnan appointed Pingye Bo to take on the responsibility of storming the stronghold, which should also have the intention of adding to his blazing achievements.
In this way, it would be logical to open a mansion after the war. "
"Feng... Hou?"
Since the land of Jin was returned to Yan, the people of Jin naturally began to become familiar with the official system and honorary system of the Yan people. Therefore, Lin Jue naturally understood what a "marquis" position meant in the Yan country.
For hundreds of years, people without the surname Ji of Dayan were not allowed to be king. Now, Dayan has four kings.
The two princes of the north and the south have outstanding achievements and deserve to be crowned kings. In fact, the two princes of the north and the south are already superior. Being king is nothing more than icing on the cake.
The other two kings were Prince Cheng's Mansion in Yingdu, and Prince Jin's Mansion. The former was Situ Lei's contribution, while the latter's ancestors of the Yu family should have had this dignity.
Among the other nobles with different surnames, the Earl was already in the top position, so this was the reason why Uncle Hirano became an uncle at such a young age.
And if so,
Marquis...
That really means splitting the earth and becoming a prince!
Gong Wang glanced at his trusted lieutenant and said angrily:
"Hey, you said that our King Jingnan has spent so much effort to push and mention, and there is Uncle Hirano who is so desperate to grab the princess and make the first contribution, not to make a prince, what are they busy with?
Other departments dare not say, but we, in the future, must be stationed under the mansion of Pingye Marquis. It is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Under the command of Pingye Marquis, there are fewer Yan people and more Jin people and barbarians. No matter what, in the future, With him as a cover, we generals from Jin Dynasty will at least have something to rely on when we rush forward.
Of course, since the Marquis Mansion is established in the east of Shanxi, we need Uncle Pingye's support, not to mention that in fact, Uncle Pingye also needs our support. This is to complement each other and help each other.
If someone like Li Fusheng or another Yan general comes up, we Jin generals will definitely have a hard time. It will be really uncomfortable to be guarded like a thief. "
"Report!!!!!! General, the Chu people have separated from the main army and are moving quickly towards Yangshan stronghold!"
The move of the Chu people is said to be a golden cicada escaping from its shell. It is not that accurate, but it is more like a gecko cutting off its tail. It means that the situation at Yangshan Village should be really critical, so the remaining main force behind the scenes detached a group and immediately moved forward. Serve as reinforcements.
Gong Wang restrained his previous ease in chatting, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he ordered directly;
"Call the Major General to stop this support force at all costs and not let it affect Pingye Bo's attack on Yangshan Stronghold.
Tell him, don’t cherish your family’s financial resources. Save your family’s financial resources just to use them in critical moments! "
"Here!"
Gong Wang immediately looked at the deputy general beside him and said, "Vice General Lin."
"The end is here."
"Integrate the Chinese army immediately. It seems that the Chu people feel that the pressure we put on them is too little, so let's give him a straightforward fight.
Zuo Ming's left and right wings compressed the Chu people's formation. You personally lead the central army and charge forward for me! "
.........
"Call the front army to block the Chu reinforcements for me. No single soldier is allowed to escape from our side to Yangshan stronghold. Tell Yuan Lun that if he fails to do this, I will chop off his head!"
Gongsun Zhi roared and issued orders, and then he ordered his left and right:
"Before the war started, King Jingnan placed my tribe and Gong Wang's tribe under the jurisdiction of Prince Ping Ye. Don't think it means after this battle. If you really think it is after this battle, then why are Gong Wang and I staring at Dongshan respectively? Fort and Xishan Fort?
This is the same as asking for help in the martial arts world. Let's give the boss a certificate of submission in advance!
You guys, please unite your subordinates immediately. The Chu people really thought we were just seeing them off, so okay, we’ll really see them off! "
.........
All around, there were no longer a few local conflicts between the Yan and Chu armies, but in terms of the overall environment, both sides still maintained restraint.
The Chu people's various military fortresses and strongholds still give priority to protecting their own foundation. This is not "watching the fire from the other side", but if it is really because of a central mountain stronghold that the dragon lock cannot be achieved, it will instead allow the Chu army to attack in full force and fight against the Yan people. There was a chaotic battle on the road, no matter what the damage was, it was still the Yan people who took advantage and had no chance to escape.
Because the Chu people were supported by military fortresses and strongholds, when they went out to fight in the field, they were voluntarily giving up their existing advantages.
The few military fortresses that felt they had the ability to protect themselves and provide support indeed began to send some reinforcements to Yangshan Village, but the tone was set by King Jingnan himself before the war, and there was also Uncle Hirano in the army. With their popularity and status, no matter which generals of Yan and Jin dared to let the reinforcements slip out in front of them as if they were watching a show or conserving their strength.
And under Zhennan Pass,
After the two groups of soldiers and horses from the east and west villages arrived at the designated positions to form a pincer attack, a group of cavalry from the rear camp also arrived.
At this time, General Nian finally ordered the north gate of Zhennanguan to be opened, and personally led the Chinese army to leave the city.
At this time,
Directly north of here, a special wolf smoke rose.
The news was immediately spread through the transmission of sentry riders.
Nian Yao has already prepared a treat. As the host, he has spent all he has now to give King Jingnan a meal.
just,
The host's actions were really too slow. The guests had been here for too long and the dishes were not even served. This was a loss of hospitality.
King Jingnan stood up from the ground, and Pixiu next to him also understood and got up on his knees. After King Jingnan sat on it, Pixiu stood up on all four hooves and let out a roar.
Pixiu turned around under Tian Wujing's crotch,
immediately,
The Yan army began to recede like a tide.
alone,
Under the order of King Jingnan,
A royal flag was left behind and was still planted there, and was not taken away.
At the foot of Zhennan Pass,
The young general who had just left the city faced this situation.
In my heart,
At one moment, I felt three parts embarrassed, three parts relieved, three parts helpless, and then one part bitter.
"Let me tell the court clearly that King Tian Wujing of Yan Jingnan led his army to attack the city today. I calmly responded and mobilized all the troops to force him back and captured the King of Jingnan's flag."
----
Ah, there are more at night.
