Chapter 222 (1/2)
Yu Tianxiang knows that fan Zhen is right. She was founded by Yu Chuxin, the seventh emperor's aunt. In the past 20 years, with Yu Chuxin's intelligence and the help of the Ming emperor, it was enough for her to become a giant in the dark world. That's why Yu Chuxin, the seventh Emperor's aunt, didn't give her the list of her followers, This is not only because of the change of her rights, but also because the Ming Emperor may have laid a lot of hands on her, which is not convenient for her to know, at least not for her now.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianxiang turned to Nie Pingjing and said, ”general Nie.”
”Your Highness.” Nie Pingjing knew that Yu Tianxiang had something to tell him, so he quickly bowed himself.
”Five thousand infantry are left here, and the remaining 30000 troops are all given to you. The palace has only one request. Chai Yuanjian, Chen Guangliang and Qiu Wenhui must not be allowed to flee back to Heyan county. After seizing Xihe County, Qingcheng will attack Heyan county with us eastward. We can't put these three people back. They will cause me trouble later. ”
Nie Pingjing's face coagulated when he heard the speech. He said with his fist, ”the last general will obey. The princess can rest assured that even if these three people don't die in the battlefield, the last general will never give them a chance to escape back to Tianxing.”
Yu Tianxiang nodded, then looked at the brothers fan Zhen and fan ting and said, ”two generals fan, no one is more familiar with the situation in Chai Yuanjian's camp than you. If the two generals are not embarrassed, we would like to ask them to lead our troops to help general Nie.”
Fan Zhen and fan Ting look at each other, and they both see a trace of heat from each other's eyes. They didn't expect that Yu Tianxiang would use them just after crossing the river. They didn't have any hesitation or defense, which is absolutely different from what they expected. Looking at Yu Tianxiang in front of them, who was dressed in Princess Daqian's Yi clothes, they couldn't help thinking of the master of Dark Phoenix, who was also a woman and had the same broad-minded mind. Their magnanimity was really heartbreaking. Now that Yu Tianxiang wants to use them, he knows that he doesn't have any bad feelings towards them, which makes them feel at ease.
”Since the princess has a life, our two brothers are willing to be the pioneers of the army and to capture the city and land for Da Qian.” Fan Zhen, fan Ting brothers respectfully line a salute said.
”That's good.” Yu Tianxiang pointed to the camp, which had been leveled many times because of the establishment of the wooden wall along the river, and said, ”the task of unifying the army and breaking the enemy will be handed over to the three generals, and our palace will prepare a banquet in the wooden wall water village near the river, waiting for the three generals to return and cook wine to celebrate their victory.”
”Thank you, princess. I will live up to her.” Nie Pingjing and fan's brothers are both hot hearted when they hear that Yu Tianxiang is the eldest daughter of Emperor Yu Yuanxu. Apart from the Royal heroes of the previous generation, they can hardly find anyone more noble than her in the whole Qingmu continent. After the general's power was handed over, she set up a banquet in the back, waiting for them to return with victory, You know, this is the only treatment for generals in ancient times.
After they salute Yu Tianxiang again, they go back to prepare their troops. It's about ten miles from here to Chai Yuanjian's Chinese army camp. Now the red sun is rising, and the fog on the river is gradually dispersing. Almost both sides can see each other's every move. Now any military tactics can't be used. They have to break the camp and attack while Chai Yuanjian's Chinese army camp is declining, So their speed must be fast. If they wait for the other side to react and set up their defense, they will have to pay several times more than now.
This is also the reason why Ye Zhiqiu decisively led his soldiers to leave when he landed on the North Bank of Fengxiang left army. There are only five thousand and five hundred under his command, which can only be used for odd, but not for right. Otherwise, in a siege, this army will be disabled. This situation is absolutely unacceptable to Ye Zhiqiu.
Just as Nie Pingjing, fan Zhen and fan Ting led 33000 troops to Chai Yuanjian's camp, Chai Yuanjian, Chen Guangliang and Qiu Wenhui also saw this scene. They didn't expect that fan Zhen, who was famous for bravery and fan Ting, who was famous for tact in the army, led the army to surrender without fighting with Fengxiang army, But how could the big family, second only to the wangduqiu family, the Chai family and the Xie family, which are tied to the interests of Tianxing, surrender so quickly? There must be something they don't know.
At this time, Chen Guangliang's face was very ugly. He personally handed over the muqiang water stronghold to the fan brothers. This was not only because of the talent of the fan brothers, but also because he believed that they were human beings. On weekdays, he had no little contact with the fan brothers. Fan Zhen, one of them, was his closest friend. However, he did not expect that fan Zhen would take refuge in Da Qian, Thinking of fan Ting's words that fan Ting asked him to lead the army to rescue Chai Yuanjian before, and that he led the army after it was cut off, Chen Guangliang was very bitter. He had never experienced this feeling of betrayal in his life. For a moment, he didn't even know how to face the current situation.
”General Chai, you are the general of the 10th battalion. Now the Fengxiang army is about to attack. You should make up your mind quickly.” Before a general team to Chai Yuanjian himself to stay in the camp Qinggui son anxiously said. He didn't care how much his troops had lost when Meng Cang and Li Chang led the army to break through. He became the commander of the battalion more because of his family. The army was just a tool for him to gain meritorious service. No matter how many casualties, he would not be distressed. He only cares about the situation at this time. He wants to go back to Wangdu to enjoy a better life, but he doesn't want to fall into the hands of Fengxiang army after defeat. Who knows what those big men will do to him.
”What do you think we should do now?” Chai Yuanjian's eyes were cold and he said to the general.
The man who had just opened his mouth said, ”the Fengxiang army has crossed the river. At this time, the army is in full swing. I think we should avoid its edge and give up this stronghold. The general team will withdraw to Heyan county to regroup. There are 80000 troops of general Xie, and we can form horns with general Xie. At that time, our troops will be more than 100000, three times of each other, It's enough to block Fengxiang's attack. ”
Chai Yuanjian nodded, then looked at the other battalion commanders and asked, ”tell me what else you can do. Fengxiang army is still ten miles away from us. It's too late to speak after the battle.”
Qiu Wenhui silently looks at Fengxiang army, who reorganizes the army in the wilderness ten miles away. Chen Guangliang lowers his head. He hasn't recovered from the surrender of the fan brothers. The other generals who had stayed in the camp looked at each other. They had been frightened by the attack of Meng Cang and Li Chang. Facing such a situation, they felt like they were on pins and needles. They felt like they were staying in the crater of the volcano that was about to erupt.
”I also think we should stay away from the edge and plan ahead.”
”Yes, our sergeant's spirit has been lost. We can't confront Fengxiang's army head on.”
”I also think that going north and meeting with general Xie is the best way.”
”Generals ~” Chai Yuanjian glanced at them and said, ”you are all learned men. Compared with the military law of Tianxing, you have all read it before. I don't know what is the charge of shaking the morale of the army when we are in battle?”
The speaker just heard that Chai Yuanjian actually said so. Looking at Chai Yuanjian's smiling face, and Chai Yuanjian's own soldiers who didn't know when to come behind them, how could they not understand his real intention.
”Chai Yuanjian, what do you want to do?” One of them pointed to Chai Yuanjian and said.
”The speaker is innocent.” Another exclaimed.
”The speaker is innocent? In the army, how can you say that the speaker is innocent? ” Chai Yuanjian said with a sneer, ”it's the good fortune of the country to admonish Wen Chen and fight military generals. As a son of the tianxingqing family, you are commanding a battalion of troops. When facing the war, you don't want to serve your country. Instead, you intend to retreat and shake the morale of the army. Do you really think that you have a clan behind you, and you will not dare to move you? They will be brought down and punished. After the leader of the owl, they will be sent to the battalions. If there are any more people who say they want to retreat, they will be killed. ”
”Nuo ~” Chai Yuanjian's own soldiers heard the speech, and rushed forward to detain some people who either yelled, or were paralyzed to the ground, or begged for mercy. A few screams came soon, and then there was no sound.
