Chapter 1161 came an old acquaintance

The war began even more suddenly than expected.

The people of Chu, who were driven to the battlefield by the foreigners like cattle and sheep, began to attack the Sui people who they had always wanted to take revenge on.

"I've thought about it countless times"

The ironclad general standing in front of the array had a sad face, and his voice was extraordinarily low: "One day, I will take my son of Da Chu to break through the border pass of the Sui people, and the army will be lost everywhere it goes. The battle flag of my Great Chu is flying within the borders of the Sui people, and I also want the Sui people to know what it is like to be robbed of half of the country. I even thought that in my lifetime, I would wave millions of troops to Chang'an and destroy this strong neighbor! ”

His name is Chu Yuanze, and he used to be one of the most important generals in Great Chu. He is also the only great general who is still alive after the destruction of the Great Chu State. At the beginning, it was he who led a small team to defend the retreat for Chu Juzheng, the emperor of Chu State, and finally was forced to surrender with the only remaining 300 warriors. At the beginning, he wanted to delay the foreigners to buy more time for the emperor of Chu to escape, otherwise he would have committed suicide and martyrdom at that time.

However, a few years later, he took 200,000 Chu people and horses into the territory of the Sui people in a humiliating way, and launched an attack on the Sui army that he once regarded as his lifelong enemy.

Perhaps, he can only comfort himself like this now.

The Sui people are also enemies.

"Take you, hold the battle flag, break through the Phoenix Terrace, destroy the Mu Mansion, and go straight to Chang'an."

His voice was so sad, where there was a little bit of pride and ambition on the verge of war.

"Now we are here, but we are coming as prisoners to attack the former enemy. Even if we win this battle, what can we do? Even if the Sui people are defeated, they are still arrogant, and even if we win, we are still clowns. ”

"General, don't think like that."

One of his old subordinates sighed: "Although we have been oppressed for many years, let's think of it as if we are taking revenge, and I will feel better in my heart." General, this matter is involuntarily on your own, if you don't accept the arrangement of the foreigners, that Lyman will order the slaughter of these 200,000 Great Chu Erlang. You're doing this to save them and don't have to be too sad. ”

"But, I took them to the battlefield!"

Chu Yuanze said sadly: "Aren't they all the same to send them to death? ”

Distance

The first wave of the offensive had already been fought with the Sui people, and in the face of the Chu army and the foreign army, which were far stronger than themselves, the Sui people guarding the Malan Mountain Pass did not passively resist, but fought-for-tat from the beginning. That kind of morale made Chu Yuanze and the others feel ashamed in their hearts.

"The pride of the Sui people lies in this."

Chu Yuanze sighed: "The foreigners destroyed my Great Chu, but it was only more than two months. The foreigners still want to destroy the Sui, but now a few years have passed, but even half of the eastern Xinjiang has not been defeated. In front of the Sui people, I was even more ashamed. ”

"I heard that it was not the Mufu soldiers who guarded the Malan Mountain Pass this time."

His subordinates said: "According to rumors, there was a Sui general named Fang Xie who came from the Central Plains with an army of one million to resist the foreigners, and was known as the Black Flag Army. Now it is the Black Flag Army that guards the Malan Mountain Pass, and it is rumored that the Black Flag Army has won a hundred battles and has ended the Sui rebellion. ”

"I've heard this man's name."

Chu Yuanze said: "I have to say, I admire this young man. ”

"But now that the two armies are at war, there is no room for it."

His subordinates persuaded: "General, if you don't do your best, the Sui people will not show mercy. They hate us, but they are afraid that they hate foreigners. ”

Chu Yuanze nodded, knowing that what his subordinates said was right. At the beginning of the destruction of the Chu State, although the Sui people did not send troops to rescue, their Chu Emperor Chu Juzheng fled into the eastern Xinjiang with the remnants of the defeated army, and it can be regarded as being blessed by the Sui people. But now, the army of Chu has come to attack the Sui people. Speaking of which, the Sui people should indeed hate them even more.

"Add ten more battalions and go immediately."

Chu Yuanze instructed: "Tell the generals leading the troops in front of you, don't be afraid of war, don't be war-weary, if this battle is won quickly, don't abuse the Sui prisoners of war." For the Sui people, it is actually better to be won by us than by foreigners. After winning this battle, let them pretend to be negligent, and let go as many Sui people as they can. ”

"Great General's mercy!"

The subordinates sighed, and then sent more men and horses to attack.

Half an hour later, Chu Yuanze's face became extremely ugly.

The battlefield in front seems to be stalemate, but the Chu army has become more and more difficult. Kill two Sui cavalry from both wings, like long knives on both sides of the two ribs into the Chu army's ribs, although he sent men and horses to support, but the two cavalry came and went like the wind, easily penetrated the long formation, and then did not love to fight, the wind withdrew, before the Chu army regrouped, they went around a big circle and smashed back like a hammer.

After only two charges, the formation of the two wings of the Chu army had been cut to pieces.

"Chu farewell!"

Chu Yuanze commanded loudly: "Take all the heavy infantry up, avoid the light cavalry of the Sui people, don't attack, just separate the cavalry, and then immediately Mingjin will collect the troops." ”

His subordinate general Chu Beiqing immediately responded, and this strong man, who looked like a two-meter high-speed iron tower, waved and shouted, and led all the heavy infantry forward. It's just that the movement speed of the heavy armored infantry is too slow, and before they can make up for it to block the light cavalry, the cavalry of the two Sui people has already once again penetrated the Chu army array and left.

Chu Beiqing didn't dare to delay, and while ordering the two wings to retract and retreat, he continued to push forward with heavy armor to prevent the light cavalry of the Sui people from killing back again.

Mingjin remembered that the first attack of the Chu army was over after more than an hour of fighting. Not only did they win as quickly as Chu Yuanze predicted, but they even lost far more troops than the Sui people. Before it touched the camp of the Sui people, it was smashed back by the counterattack of the Sui people.

This kind of grievance made Chu Yuanze's already uncomfortable state of mind even more depressed.

"The combat power of the Sui people, as always."

He sat on a high slope with a cold face.

"General Chu!"

At this time, a foreigner walked to the front of the formation with a few musketeers, pointed to the retreating team in front and said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Marquis asked me to come over and ask, how did General Chu command this battle?" Just after contacting you, you ordered to withdraw the troops, did you collude with the Sui people? ”

"Fart!"

Chu Beiqing, who was covered with blood stains in iron armor, stood up and scolded loudly: "We have lost at least 4,000 soldiers in this battle, and you dare to frame us!" ”

"Who are you?"

The foreigner snorted coldly: "Don't you Chu people often say that you people should be respectful and inferior?" I'm talking to your lord, what are you? Don't forget who you are, you pigs! If it weren't for the mercy of the great Majesty Lyman, you would have had another chance to go to war to wash away your shame? Don't forget that you were beaten by the Sui people very embarrassed, and you lost half of the country, but you didn't even have the courage to take it back. The reason why you can take revenge this time is all because of the opportunity we gave you, otherwise with your ability, you can enter the land of the Sui people? ”

He took out a short gun and said to Chu Beiqing: "What is the difference between you low-class people and pigs?" If you dare to say a word, I will kill you. ”

Chu Beiqing was furious, and took a step forward but was pulled by Chu Yuanze.

"Stand down!"

He shook his head at Chu Beiqing, and then said to the foreigner: "Please go back and tell Mokes that it is true that we have a grudge against the Sui people, but we are not friends with you Oplu people." I have the final say on how this battle will be fought, and if you think I can't do it, you can let me leave with my men and horses. ”

"You!"

The foreigner said angrily: "Don't think that the marquis will not know your identity if you say a few kind words to you, you are just a prisoner of war!" If you put it somewhere else, you're already a slave. ”

He turned around and left: "This group of pigs who don't know whether they are alive or dead"

Chu Beiqing almost bit his lip, but was pulled by Chu Yuanze: "What can you do if you kill him now?" Isn't it for the brethren to cause trouble? ”

"But are we going to be humiliated forever!"

For the first time in history, Chu Beiqing contradicted Chu Yuanze, his father.

"yes"

A heavy sadness flashed in Chu Yuanze's eyes: "Since the destruction of the country, we have actually only been left with humiliation. ”

"The Sui people have light horses, and we will always be harassed if we continue to fight like this."

Nie Yubing, the general under Chu Yuanze, sighed: "It seems that this Sui team called the Black Flag Army is extremely good at fighting and well-trained, and they are definitely not the kind of recruits who have not experienced the killing of battle formations. It is estimated that they have been fighting in the Central Plains for several years, and those soldiers are all fearless of death. Especially that cavalry, we have never had experience in fighting with cavalry, and we can't defend against it at all. ”

Chu Beiqing sighed: "After I led the troops up, although I blocked the light cavalry of the Black Flag Army, there was no way to take people at all. The speed of the light cavalry was too fast, so they came and killed for a while and left, and when they saw me coming up with heavy armor, they went back immediately. But there are only 8,000 heavy armor in the army, and they can't defend it at all. ”

"The foreigners have sent someone to urge them again."

Yang Ziwen, a staff member under Chu Yuanze's tent, sighed heavily: "The general agreed to the foreigners, just to protect these sons of Chu." But it seems that the foreigners want us to be their stepping stones, and if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that sooner or later we will all die here. ”

"The Great General"

Everyone looked at Chu Yuanze: "I have to think of a way to come out." ”

Nie Yubing said: "The Sui people also have at least about 100,000 horses at Malan Mountain Pass, although the total strength is much worse than that, but the foreigners definitely don't come up so quickly." If we continue to fight like this, the soldiers you have worked so hard to protect will all die in aggrieved battle. ”

"I know!"

Chu Yuanze waved his hand: "You let me be quiet for a while." ”

He frowned, looking at the map in silence.

At this moment, someone outside suddenly said softly: "I didn't want to disturb the general's discussion of the military situation, but I brought an old acquaintance of the general. ”

The voice came from outside the tent, so close!

The faces of the people in the big tent all changed, and Chu Beiqing immediately drew his knife and stood up and stopped in front of Chu Yuanze: "Who are you!" ”

There were at least 100 pro-soldiers guarding outside, but this unfamiliar voice came out of the door, which showed that the man had unknowingly let go of all the pro-soldiers.

The curtain was lifted from the outside, and a fat man with a gentle smile on his face walked in. He was wearing a well-fitting garment, but it looked so weird because it fitted, as if a cloth had been tightened around his body.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that the person I just stole from Mufu City is important."

The fat man with a kind smile turned around and beckoned: "Come in, see your old acquaintance." ”

As he spoke, a man came in, wearing a black robe and a hat that obscured his head and face. After entering, he walked up to the crowd, paused, and slowly pulled his hat back. When Chu Yuanze and the others saw his face, they were immediately stunned.

After a long while, Chu Yuanze was the first to react, and knelt down on his knees: "Minister Chu Yuanze, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

The person who came, it was Chu Juzheng, the fugitive emperor of Great Chu!
