I’m The King

"Why? Why do you want to do this?" In Pengcheng, the general of the Chu army, Bi Xuan, had blue veins on his face. He looked viciously at the end of the big case. The other party was reading a book of war and saw Bi Xuan, who was rushing in. Starting from the beginning, there was an unpleasant color on his face.

"General Bi Xuan, what's the matter with you?" Putting down the military book in his hand, Qu asked afterwards.

"Tucheng was defeated. Yu Ping and his subordinates all died in Tucheng, and none of them escaped back." Bi Xuan looked at Qu and said with a heartbreak: "Yu Ping is a very talented general under my command. If he doesn't die, , In the future, he has a great future, or he will become the most capable general of the next generation of our Chu Kingdom, but now, because of your order not to retreat, let him face the enemy alive several times his own, and the battle has come. At the last moment, or before he died, he thought I had given this order."

Qu Wan's face gradually cooled down, "General Bi Xuan, you are the general of my Chu Kingdom. You know the severity, since the battle of Han Chu, how many talented generals we have died on the battlefield, do you still remember Bianyang? A general from a clan? As a general, the Shroud of Magge itself is our destiny. To die, as long as the death is worthwhile. As for you, Yu Ping is very talented. I have a lot of talents. I died. Naturally There will be more people filling up, you are no exception, and I am no exception."

Seeing the other party's cold face, Bi Xuan sat down dejectedly.

"Why have to let him fight to the end?"

"Of course it is necessary. We have to make the New First Army of the Han Dynasty think that we are not fully prepared. We can only fight for the camp step by step and buy time for the transfer of troops to Pengcheng. Next, we will send field troops to confront them head-on, not too many. , Because the Han army must know how many people you have in Pengcheng, resist step by step, and lose one by one, so that the new army will once again confirm their judgment." Qu finished.

"You want to send an army to die?" Bi Xuan asked in surprise.

"This is necessary." Qu Wan stood up, "Bi Xuan, do you know how much resources we spent this time in order to win this battle? The New First Army was inserted in Suiyang and directly threatened Pengcheng from a strategic point of view. Look, this is a sharp knife inserted in our hearts.They don't have much to do at Daba Mountain, but it is different here.If you don't eat the new army, Da Chu will have trouble sleeping and eating. In order to change our passiveness in strategy, we must win this battle, and if we want to win, we must make a certain sacrifice."

Bi Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, this time I will personally lead the team to meet the Han army."

"As a general, how can you do this kind of death, and your appearance on the battlefield will not make the Han army feel strange?" Qu Wan flatly rejected Bi Xuan's ideas, "Your current post is in Pengcheng. , We will soon usher in a big battle, a big battle that the Han army can't imagine."

Bi Xuan left in a sullen way.Even at his level, this battle only knew that Lieutenant Qu Zhong from the center planned the battle himself. The main battlefield was located in Sixi on the left of Pengcheng. The news that Xuan received piecemeal, this time was not only the participation of the State of Chu, but also the participation of the State of Qin. I recalled that not long ago the general of the State of Qin, Zhou Yu, aggressively occupied Suizhou and defeated a part of the Chu army, Bi Xuan Vaguely understood something.

Some time ago, Chu’s troops were mobilized, I’m afraid it wasn’t for the invasion of the Qin Army, Zhou Yu, but to defeat the New First Army of the Han State in Suiyang. All that was done before was nothing but a grand strategic big It's just a deception. If this is the case, then Qin Chu has really done a lot to deceive Han this time.

However, the troops who were sent to die were all built by himself, and Bi Xuan was still extremely uncomfortable, thinking of Yu Ping who died in Tucheng, Bi Xuan was even more upset.

"General Bi!" Returning to his general office in Pengcheng, I saw at a glance a young general who was covered in wounds and his armor was covered with knife marks. It was Liu An, the tooth general sent out by himself.

"Liu An, are you still alive?" Bi Xuan was surprised and delighted, and he received a report that Tucheng and Luliu Village were all breached, and the defending army had no one to survive.I didn't expect Liu An to escape back alive.

"General Bi, Tucheng is over. General Yu and his men all died in battle. None of the five hundred soldiers and hundreds of Zhuang Yong in my Luliu Villa survived. Zhuangzi was also burned to ashes by the Han army." Liu An Porto knelt down and burst into tears.

Bi Xuan felt sad, "Okay, okay, you just need to come back alive."

"General, why do you want to do this? Why do you want us to perform this mortal task, the general did not send reinforcements." Liu An straightened up and stared at Bi Xuan.

Bi Xuan sighed, sat down, and looked at Liu An, "Liu An, you can understand some things. This matter is not something I can call the shots. I might as well tell you that there are higher-level people in Pengcheng now. The general is sitting in town, and I can only act on orders. All the war plans are made by this big man. It is a great blessing that you can come back alive, and some people will die in the future."

Liu An was stunned, "Big man?"

"Yes, a big man from Yingcheng. Liu An, I'm very happy that you can come back alive. This time you have proven your ability and your loyalty. Now I appoint you as the general of the Zuo army. Go and rectify the Zuo army. , Next we have a big battle, take your left army, prepare to avenge your Luliu Villa, I can tell you, this time we can definitely defeat the Han army."

"Thank you for the general cultivation!" Liu An was overjoyed. He jumped from the Yajiang to the Zuojun general. This is a leapfrog promotion. The left army has three thousand soldiers.

"General Bi, this time in Tucheng, we once captured the enemy's sacred crossbow and a huge catapult. Especially this catapult appeared on the battlefield for the first time. The Han army was transporting him. At the time, it was dismantled. When the battle is coming, it can be assembled at a very fast speed. The entire structure is made of steel. The shooting distance is extremely long, and the farthest can reach two miles away. The city wall of our Luliu Villa is basically It is impossible to stop the blow. According to my estimation, the city wall of Pengcheng will not be able to withstand it. If the opponent keeps bombarding, the city wall can definitely be knocked down."

Bi Xuan nodded, "The ordnance of the Han army has always been ahead of all countries. It is not surprising that they have produced new weapons. By the way, they use explosives that have not been used in Kangping City?"

"No!" Liu An thought for a while, "Or they think we are not worth using explosives."

"That's good. If this kind of thing appears on the battlefield, the psychological blow to the soldiers will be huge. Because they have never seen this kind of thing." Bi Xuan sighed softly. "Simple throwing stones. The machine is not terrible, it's just more powerful."

"General, this kind of trebuchet made of steel cannot be destroyed in a short period of time. The knife is constantly cutting, and the fire will not collapse. In the fortified battle, the damage to the city wall is huge."

Bi Xuan smiled slightly, "Now we don't need to worry about this. Go ahead and get acquainted with Zuojun as soon as possible. The war is coming soon."

"Yes, General Bi!" Liu An knocked his head heavily, got up and left. A Green Willow Villa, in exchange for a Zuojun General, Liu An felt it was worth it. The villa can be rebuilt if it is destroyed. Anyway, that temple square You can't run it where you put it. The floating wealth in Zhuangzi is not much at first, and most of them have been transported to Pengcheng long ago.

Just when Bi Xuan gritted his teeth and sent another army to intercept and conquer Tucheng, the Han army forward who was advancing towards Pengcheng was newly composed of Mao Afu, the third division and the second regiment of the first army, the first regiment of the third division. He Dongbu also arrived at Sixi.

The first regiment is the absolute main force of the three divisions. He Dong is also Dong Zhuang's favorite general. No matter in terms of staffing, combat power and equipment, He Dong's regiment is much stronger than the other two regiments. This is why Dong Zhuang was confident when he sent a group to Sixi to meet the five thousand local guards.

He Dong's three attack battalions, plus the reconnaissance company directly under the regiment headquarters, the engineering company and other special forces, the total number of zero and zero totals more than 3,000 people, and it is an uncompromising large group. Mao Afu's 2nd regiment and Song Tao's 3rd regiment were only in the early 2000s.

Sixi is a key point of Pengcheng. The stationing of five thousand local guards cannot be said to be less, but in the eyes of the Han army, Chu's local guards are just a snack on the plate, because when they were in Qi, I have fought many battles with the Chu army, which was adapted from the local guards. Even after nearly a year of adjustment, the Chu army selected from the 100,000 guards is still in front of the Han army. Not enough to see, let alone, according to the pre-war intelligence, the morale of these guards was very low, their equipment was not complete, and the military payment had never been paid. It is very common for generals to eat empty money. It is said that it is the five thousand guards, I am afraid In fact, four thousand are considered to be the highest.

But when the first regiment arrived in Sixi, He Dong felt very surprised when he ran into the opposing guard who was coming to meet him.

The first accident was that the morale of these legends was not high, and the low combat strength of the guards dared to attack openly, preparing to start a field battle with the Han army, and the second accident was that the guards were not badly equipped. His spears, the swordsmen and archers behind the spear formation, the bed crossbows arranged on the carriages, and the strict formation all show that this guard is somewhat unusual.

The opponents lined up in three square formations, and the finished font was standing upright on the wilderness. The Chu army's banner was hunting and hunting in the wind. The formation of thousands of people was silent, which made He Dong's heart awe, at least from the outside. , This Chu army is no worse than the Han army in terms of military capacity.

"Start the formation and prepare to attack!" He Dong said solemnly.

The buglers standing behind him immediately raised their horns, and the vigorous sound of the bugles sounded.After a while, a group of horns from various ministries began to sound.This is a group of battalions indicating that they have accepted the order. During the military flag display, the Han army quickly unfolded, and unlike the opponent's character shape, He Dong put out an inverted character shape array. (To be continued)
