Chapter 157: Shen Sheng's Var Gaoluo Clan (2)
The Jin army was stationed when it reached Jisang, and the troops of the Dongshan Gaoluo clan had already arrived here and were preparing for a decisive battle with the Jin army.
Shen Sheng convened a pre-war meeting and decided to launch an attack on the enemy tomorrow. After the meeting ended, Hu Tu came to see Shen Sheng alone, and he advised Shen Sheng not to take the initiative to attack, but to wait for the enemy to attack, and even if he was defeated, he would not suffer any losses. If the victory is achieved, the Li Ji group will be jealous of the prince's exploits, and will definitely speed up the attack.
But Shen Sheng said that he would not retreat if he could die in battle, and Hutu had to sigh and withdraw.
When night fell, Shen Sheng ascended to a high ground near the barracks, from which he could observe the entire barracks of both the enemy and the enemy. The stalls on the side of the Gaoluo clan were very large, and they were celebrating a certain festival with songs and dances, and the barracks were brightly lit, and there was music, singing, and noise everywhere; However, the Jin army implemented light control, only a little bit of light, like a dead camp.
The morale of the Gaoluo clan was very high, because they got the news that the crown prince had fallen out of favor, the upper and lower levels were discordant, and the army was disheartened, and they thought that the Jin army would collapse without a fight; The Jin ** team was full of tragic atmosphere, and the sergeants all wanted to fight a battle and end this torturous situation as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, the warring sides lined up in arrays. Due to the terrain and mood, neither side worked out any special tactics, but adopted a hard-fought attack throughout the whole process. The crown prince arranged the upper army in the center, and divided the lower army into two and placed them on two wings, and on the outside of the two wings were the auxiliary cavalry and infantry of Jiang Shirong and Da Rong.
Shen Sheng wore the ruthless battle robe, put a piece of jade into his mouth in full view of everyone, and then beat the drum vigorously, the fox suddenly whipped the horse, and the chariot ran wildly, rushing straight to the enemy camp.
Han Yi, who had always been silent, suddenly raised his longbow and roared: "If the prince dies, the whole army will be buried with him!" The emotions of the Jin army erupted at this moment, and the roar of tens of thousands of people at the same time broke through the cold winter clouds and echoed over the vast battlefield; The north wind that hung up in winter really sent the emotions and shouts of the Jin army to the ears of the enemy.
But not to be outdone, the Gaoluo clan charged almost simultaneously by beating drums and blowing horns; Two huge armies immediately engaged in a full-scale contact battle.
At the beginning of the battle, both sides were all high-spirited, both wanted to overwhelm each other in momentum, and both adopted the style of fighting with their lives; Formations and routines are all meaningless, and where the enemy appears, violence appears; Therefore, the initial battles were the most tragic and brutal.
But the Gaoluo clan soon found out that they had misjudged the Jin army: it turned out that the enemy was not bluffing, but really wanted to fight to the death and fight back with the enemy! The previous optimism faded, and the deep-seated fear of the Jin soon came and gained the upper hand, as a result of which they were unable to hold back the enemy's attack.
The panic spread rapidly, and the defeat of the Gao Luo clan went from point to point to piece, and then evolved into a full-scale rout. At noon, the outcome of the battle was decided, the Gaoluo clan scattered and fled, and the Jin army attacked the enemy's camp.
When the battle was over, Shen Sheng stood in the open space in front of the camp gate to receive congratulations from the generals, and Shen Sheng also expressed his gratitude to the other party. But the color of joy is not discernible on either side's face; People seem to be preoccupied, but it's just a routine.
When the Jin army returned to the division in victory, Shen Sheng received another bad news: his mother, the Duchess of Xian, Jiang, had died. It turned out that the wife was worried about her son's safety, so she carried out divination for this war, and the result was that the battle could be won, but the coach was in difficulty.
She immediately broke into the romantic nest of Jin Xiangong and Li Ji and quarreled with Xiangong. Xiangong was angry and ashamed, but he didn't dare to punish her, so he had to put her under house arrest. The lady couldn't bear to live until the day when Shen Sheng was martyred and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, so she committed suicide.
The death of the lady fundamentally shook the position of the crown prince. A conspiracy of the Li Ji group actually achieved a double victory, and this result was an unexpected surprise for the group of villains, but it was a disaster for the Jin Kingdom.
After the victory of the battle against the Gaoluo clan, there were even more slanderous rumors against the crown prince. The villains made a big fuss about Jiang's death, slandering Shen Sheng, saying that he would definitely avenge his mother.
Shen Sheng's mood was extremely low, and he returned to Quwo and closed his door. But his humility was speculated to be retreating as advancing, his Huairou was said to be Taoguang and obscure, and his deep Jane Ju was suspected of being haste-fast. In short, Shen Sheng's every move was commented on with the most vicious by the villains.
