Text Chapter 561 Junior General Fights Veteran
The Great Zhou army, which was ready, was ready to go, and they could start the siege battle just waiting for an order from their Emperor Majesty. However, on this day, the Great Zhou Emperor only issued an order for all soldiers to stand by in place, and did not give the order to attack the city. Although such a wait is long and boring, the confident Great Zhou soldiers are full of high morale, and this Jinyang City, which is besieged by the Great Zhou army, can almost be said to be within reach.
A galloping flying horse galloped into the Great Zhou military camp, like a stone thrown into the calm pool, causing ripples in the gloomy atmosphere of the Great Zhou military camp. All the Great Zhou soldiers didn't know what was happening, because the scout of the Great Zhou army who was galloping on his horse went directly to the camp of the Great Zhou Emperor.
Chai Rong was like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth in his tent, and beside him was Zhao Kuangyin with a little melancholy on his face. The two seemed to be waiting for something, there were only the two of them in the tent, but the map of Jinyang City in the tent was already spread out on the table of the tent.
"Report, urgent military situation." A loud shout broke the stagnant atmosphere in the tent. Hearing that shout, Chai Rong's eyes showed a hint of joy, he and Zhao Kuangyin glanced at each other, both of them knew what kind of military information they came to report at this time, and this was also the military situation they were eager to know.
"Reported, our army and the Khitan wolf rode in a wasteland south of Xinzhou, and the two armies launched a fierce killing. General Shi Yanchao and the Khitan general Yelu Tuo fought hundreds of battles and were unfortunately killed. Yelutuo was seriously injured and his life and death are unknown. At present, the two armies are resting and recuperating in the confrontation. Our Great Zhou army blocked the Khitan wolf cavalry south of Xinzhou, and it was difficult to advance half a step. ”
After Chai Rong listened to the scout's report, his body couldn't help but stagger, and when he heard the bad news of Shi Yanchao's death, he suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly darkened. His face couldn't help but show a look of sadness, and the twist in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.
"The ambition of the Khitan barbarian wolf, and today I have lost one of my generals, and this revenge is not avenged. Shi Aiqing was one of the few founding fathers of my Great Zhou Kingdom, but he died at the hands of the Khitans. Today, I want to send a few more generals to help General Fu to cut off the Khitan barbarians, so as to eliminate the hatred in my heart. Chai Rong urgently ordered all the Great Zhou generals to be summoned, and looking at the generals present, he said with a sad expression.
When the generals in the camp heard this, their faces suddenly appeared angry, and they asked for orders to lead their troops to Xinzhou and fight to the death with the Khitan army. But Zhao Kuangyin, who was behind Chai Rong, had a sinking face, used troops angrily, and was not thoughtful, which often led to defeat, and he couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done." Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly asked Chai Rong to play. He felt that this was not the time to send troops to reinforce Fu Heng, the army was already in the city, and it was a taboo for soldiers to go out. If a part of the troops is divided into Xinzhou, then the true meaning of this army will be lost.
"Oh, why not." Chai Rong's heart was shocked, he was originally a soldier, but he didn't expect that it was because of Shi Yanchao's death that he suddenly lost his mind. Fortunately, thanks to Zhao Kuangyin's reminder, he came to his senses. A strange light shot out of his eyes, and he gestured to Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong are brothers with different surnames, and of course he knows what Chai Rong's faint hint means. He said slowly to Chai Rong: "Dispersing troops is a taboo for soldiers, and the purpose of my trip is to capture Jinyang City." Although the Khitan army was brave and invincible, General Fu had already blocked the Khitan army south of Naxin Prefecture and could not break through our army's defense line. For today's plan, it is to capture this Jinyang City, as long as this Jinyang City is captured, then the Khitan army will lose its meaning of existence, and this crisis will be solved naturally. ”
Zhao Kuangyin's remarks were also approved by the generals, especially Chai Rong's heart. If it weren't for Zhao Kuangyin reminding him, then he would have let go of his big mistake, and then the Great Zhou Army would have been killed in this Jinyang City with his wrong decision.
"Well, since this is the case, then the generals will listen to the order and immediately attack the city." Chai Rong's breath of the God King couldn't help but disperse, and his dazzling tiger eyes contained supreme majesty, and he ordered the Great Zhou generals in the tent.
With the order of the Great Zhou Emperor Chai Rong, the Great Zhou army suddenly formed a formation, and the sound of gongs and drums shook the heavens and the earth, and a siege battle began.
Looking at the neatly arranged Great Zhou army under the city, the face of the fake Liu Yu above the city gate couldn't help but change, and it became extremely pale. To say that these tens of thousands of troops are pressing down on this city like a tide, this kind of magnificent momentum is not something that an ordinary Jianghu martial cultivator can bear. His face became a little ugly, he didn't expect that the military might exuded by this Great Zhou Army was so terrifying, and the deafening sound of tearing and killing was overwhelming towards the city wall.
"Your Majesty, don't panic, wait for the last general to lead the troops out of the city and fight to the death with the Zhou army. If the Zhou army is defeated, it will not solve the scourge of the siege. There was a general next to Liu Yu who saw his ugly face and couldn't help volunteering. This general is Ding Gui, the general defending the city in Jinyang City, since the first brave general of the Northern Han Dynasty died in Gaoping, this Jinyang City is the withering of military generals, this Ding Gui can also be regarded as one of the henchmen of the Northern Han Emperor Liu Yu.
"The Zhou army is coming, how can it be easy to get out of the city. We still stick to it, if General Ding makes any mistakes, I am really in danger in the Northern Han Kingdom. The fake Liu Yu shook his head and said. All he had to do was to defend this Jinyang City, and the others didn't dare to think about it. Zhong Jianhong's order to him was to defend this Jinyang City, he didn't want other accidents to happen, he knew that Zhong Jianhong led the Zhong family martial arts to leave Jinyang City, but he didn't know why they left Jinyang City. Before the people of the Zhong family did not return to Jinyang City, he could only focus on guarding.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, I'll wait to kill him out of the city, kill him for a while, and there will be a catch." It's good to teach the people of the Great Zhou to know that there are people in my Jinyang City, and kill the majesty of the Great Zhou army. Even if you don't win, you can withdraw it, and it won't get in the way. Ding Gui replied to the other party with a high attitude. Although Zhang Yuanhui is known as the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty, it is inevitable that there will be some dissatisfaction in Ding Gui's heart. If he can defeat the Zhou army, then the title of the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty will fall on him, and he can rightfully become the first person of the Northern Han general.
That fake Liu Yu secretly moved in his heart when he heard this, seeing that the Great Zhou army was coming violently, and there were also a large number of defenders in Jinyang City at the moment, if this Ding Gui could repel the Great Zhou army, then his status in the Zhong family would also rise. Besides, it's not him who goes out on adventures, so why not borrow others for his own benefit.
"Since this is the case, then Ding Aiqing will take 10,000 horses out of the city to meet the Great Zhou army." The fake Liu Yu's eyes flashed and said, although he didn't recognize in his heart that Ding Gui could repel the Great Zhou army, but everyone would have the psychology of luck. If this miracle happens, maybe even if this Ding Gui is killed by the Great Zhou soldiers, he can't blame him, because Ding Gui invited himself out of the city.
"Boom", a loud bang shook the Jinyang city wall slightly, and the thick city gate under the city wall was opened, and I saw a team of people and horses killed from the city gate. But it was the Northern Han general Ding Gui, dressed in bright armor, who took the lead and led 10,000 Northern Han troops to rush out.
Facing the large number of Great Zhou troops, Ding Gui's heart couldn't help but be secretly frightened, he sat on top of the war horse, holding a long big knife in his hand. The Northern Han army behind him had already set up a formation, and he looked at the Great Zhou army with his eyes, only to see that the Great Zhou army was tightly arrayed, and a chilling battle spirit emanated from the array of the Great Zhou army, which made his heart even tighter. But after all, he is a generation of famous generals, and he is the original disciple of the Northern Han Dynasty Long Dao Sect, he discarded the faint stunt in his heart, and a brazen momentum surged up on his body.
"This general is Ding Gui, the general of Jinyang to defend the city, and you are waiting for the army to come to attack, is it to deceive me Jinyang no one. Those who know each other will retreat and return to the territory of your Great Zhou, otherwise the big sword in the hands of this general will definitely be stained with the blood of your Great Zhou soldiers, so as to teach you to know the prestige of the soldiers defending the city of Jinyang City. ”
Ding Gui led an army of 10,000 to open the formation, and as soon as he raised the long knife in his hand, he shouted at the Great Zhou army. As the saying goes, if you lose, you can't lose the battle, even if it is a strict and fierce division of the Great Zhou Army, he must arouse the morale of the Jinyang Army, and the opponent is several times his own Zhou Army, which is necessary to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin stood under the flag gate, they didn't expect that as soon as the gate of Jinyang City opened, a team of people poured out of the city. Unexpectedly, before they launched an attack, the generals in Jinyang City went out of the city to face the battle, which was beyond their expectations, it seems that this Jinyang City is not as simple as they imagined.
"Who will go to the battle to meet the Jinyang guard Ding Gui?" Chai Rong said to the Great Zhou generals behind him. Of course, a mere Ding Gui could not arouse the interest of the generals of the Great Zhou, but there was a figure that fell inconspicuously among the generals of the Great Zhou, and when he heard Chai Rong's words, a trace of excitement suddenly appeared in his eyes, this person was Gao Chengde. The hunting fork in his hand was raised, his legs rubbed, and he rode his horse to Chai Rong's side.
"The last general asks to fight." Gao Chengde raised the hunting fork in his hand and pleaded towards Chai Rong, when he saw the Jinyang guard Ding Gui shouting, he couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart, he had never had a good impression of the Northern Han Army. Since the battle of Tianjing Pass, he and Ma Chenghui have followed behind Shi Shouxin, fighting bravely to kill the enemy along the way, and there is also a faint flow of courage like a general.
Chai Rong saw that it was Gao Chengde who asked to fight, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, after all, this young man in his early twenties was weaker in terms of experience and strength, but he couldn't refute the other party's request. This battle is related to the momentum of the two armies, if you win, the Great Zhou army can capture Jinyang in one go, and if you lose, the morale of the Great Zhou army will definitely be affected.
Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were also slightly condensed, he still knew Gao Chengde's strength. He saw that Chai Rong's eyes showed hesitation and said: "Your Majesty, General Gao has been fighting bravely with General Shi for several days, and now he has met Ding Gui, the guard general of Jinyang. I can just take this opportunity to verify the students taught by General Shi, and then let the other party know that my Great Zhou army is like a cloud, so it is not so easy to bully. ”
"Okay, quasi-war. Take down the Jinyang defenders who don't know the height of the sky, so that the Jinyang defenders can know the prestige of our Great Zhou Army. When Chai Rong heard this, the hesitation in his eyes suddenly disappeared. What Zhao Kuangyin said also makes sense, this Gao Chengde is just a new young general, and if he plays, it will not bring any harm to Da Zhou. If defeated, he is just a new general, and there is nothing, if he is defeated, then it will arouse the morale of the Great Zhou army even more.
When Gao Chengde heard this, he immediately thanked him. And Chai Rong also allocated 10,000 men, led by him to meet the Jinyang defenders who went out of the city to meet them.
"Where did you come from, do you have no one in the Great Zhou Army, and even a stinky kid dares to fight." Ding Gui looked at it and saw that the leader of the Great Zhou Army was a young general in his early twenties, and he couldn't help shouting.
