Chapter 254: Big Gamble [Two in One](2/2)
Having said this, he felt a little hesitant in his heart.
Do you really want to fight the Wei army today?
Chu Shuijun felt a little at a loss.
You must know that he is actually not ready for a life-or-death showdown with the Wei army. Heaven and earth are a lesson. He led his army to attack today just to see if there is any possibility of defeating the supporting army of Wei King Zhao Run. Even until this moment, he has not
I just wanted to send some food and recruit soldiers to test the strength of the Wei army on the opposite side, and then consider other things. Why did it suddenly seem to be a decisive battle?
"Generals, please return to your respective ministries and take command of the war."
Chu Shuijun repeated uneasily.
After hearing this, the generals of the coalition forces of various countries left their formations with different expressions and returned to their respective armies.
They all could see that King Chu Shui was greatly shaken by the fact that King Zhao Run of Wei was forcing him out of common sense and in turn forced the allied forces of all the countries to fight to the death. In fact, even they were a little hesitant.
Why was the Wei army hesitating on the opposite side so decisive, and even forced them to start a decisive battle?
Is there really some magic weapon for victory that the coalition forces don't know about?
They can't figure it out.
"Hehehehehe..."
When returning to his army, General Huan Hu of the State of Lu laughed strangely, which attracted the attention of General Chen Shou.
"Why are you laughing?" Chen Shou asked in confusion.
"It's amazing..."
Huan Hu licked his lips and said excitedly: "Didn't you see the faces of Chu Shuijun, Tian Dan, Xiang Mo and others just now? Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really amazing. Zhao Run, the monarch of Wei,
At this moment, he actually dared to gamble on the outcome of this war with the only elite troops he had. His courage made Huan admire him... Compared with Zhao Run, the generals in the coalition forces of various countries
, everyone is a coward! Especially that Chu Shuijun, I originally thought he was some kind of person, but I never thought that he was just a useless waste... You can see that he just swallowed the words of a decisive battle with the Wei army.
Go back, hahahaha..."
"Why are you trembling?"
Chen Shou looked puzzled at Huan Hu, who seemed to be trembling all over.
"It's excitement."
Huan Hu licked his lips, as if he couldn't control himself, and said excitedly: "This is what I yearn for! Zhao Run, Zhao Run... If before this, I was just looking at your face, then at this moment
, I must admit that only heroes like this are worthy of me, Huan Hu..."
"Be careful!"
Chen Shou immediately interrupted Huan Hu's words and looked around cautiously.
Immediately, he asked Huan Hu in a low voice: "According to what you said, the Wei army has a good chance of winning?"
"More than small." Huan Hu licked his lips and said emotionally: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. The Wei army has obviously put up a last-ditch posture, but the coalition forces are timid. How can they stop the Wei army? The coalition forces will be defeated.
!...By the time Chu Shuijun swallowed his words about the decisive battle with the Wei army, the coalition forces had already been defeated."
After hearing this, Chen Shou's heart moved slightly and he whispered: "In that case..."
"No."
As if he had guessed Chen Shou's thoughts, Huan Hu immediately stretched out his hand to interrupt the former's words. After calming down the excitement in his heart, he lowered his voice and said seriously: "In today's battle, I see that Lord Chu Shui has no intention of a decisive battle. Therefore,
Once the Wei army gains a temporary advantage, he will definitely retreat temporarily... After all, the coalition forces here have nearly one million people, but the Wei army has come from afar. Even though their morale is as high as a rainbow, their physical strength will not be able to sustain it. Once Chu Shuijun gives the order
Withdrawing, Xiang Mo, Xiang Huan, Tian Dan and others led the army to cut off the rear. The Wei army may not be able to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, defeating the coalition forces in one fell swoop... You and I will defect at this time, with little effect. It is better to lay low temporarily and build up enough strength for the Wei army in the future.
, and when Chu Shuijun is also ready for a decisive battle, you and I will wait for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the coalition forces. By then, the coalition forces will be completely defeated and will no longer be able to fight again..."
Chen Shou suddenly understood and nodded, then looked at Huan Hu with admiration.
Although he didn't want to say the words of praise, which made Huan Hu feel proud, he had to admit that Huan Hu, a guy with a background of evil bandits, was indeed a handsome man with great vision and strategy.
Compared with the famous generals in the world, he is not weak at all.
At this time, the 50,000 imperial guardsmen of the Wei army had already approached the formation of the coalition forces of various countries, and were within a stone's throw.
However, facing the 50,000 elite regular troops of the Wei State, the soldiers placed in front of the coalition forces of various countries turned out to be soldiers recruited from grain.
Yes, as Huan Hu said, Lord Chu Shui had no intention of having a decisive battle with the Wei army today. He just wanted to test the physical strength of the Wei soldiers before making any plans. Unexpectedly, the Wei army sent out the most elite soldiers.
soldiers.
One side is the most elite soldiers of the Wei army, and the other side is the food recruits with the lowest combat effectiveness of the allied forces. Just think about it and you can guess what the outcome of this confrontation will be.
The terrible thing is that at this moment, the coalition forces of various countries have no time to change the positions of each army. They can only bite the bullet and let the food soldiers with the worst combat effectiveness resist the Luoyang Imperial Guard. At best, they can only let the regular troops of various countries deployed on the flanks use bows.
Crossbows and other long-range weapons assist in recruiting troops.
No, like Xiang Mo, Xiang Juan, Tian Dan and other generals, they all realized their own disadvantages in troop formation. After returning to their own armies, they immediately led their troops to strengthen the two wings in an attempt to prepare the center.
The Wei army that broke through caused some trouble.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the grain soldiers deployed on the central battlefield will be defeated by Wei's elite regular army in the blink of an eye.
However, at this moment, Wei King Zhao Run pointed at the left and right wings of the coalition forces of various countries, and ordered in a hoarse voice to the temporarily recruited militiamen and rangers: "We, the athletes of Wei, follow closely the footsteps of the Imperial Guards and fight against the enemy.
The left and right wings of the army launch an attack!...Except the Chuanluo cavalry, the entire army attacks!"
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
Under the order of Wei King Zhao Run, more than 100,000 to 200,000 Wei army militiamen, armed with various weapons, launched a general attack on the coalition forces of various countries on the opposite side.
Crazy! That Zhao Run is simply crazy!
In the main formation of the allied forces of the various countries, when the Chu Shuijun saw with his own eyes that the Wei army on the opposite side was moving in full force, he was shocked and angry.
If Zhao Run were in front of him at this moment, I believe he would grab the other party's clothes and ask loudly: Do you want to fight like this? The first round of attack is a general attack of the whole army? Do you fucking know how to fight?! What the hell do you think?
Could it be that all the illustrious military exploits were achieved by relying on this kind of blind pressure by the entire army?
Chu Shuijun, who usually had excellent self-cultivation, was sweating profusely and anxious.
In fact, he also knew that to defeat the Wei army's general attack, he only needed to order the entire army to attack. Could it be that the nearly one million coalition forces could not defeat the Wei army of only 300,000?
But deep down in his heart, he had concerns about this: What if? What if he failed?
In wars from ancient times to the present, there are actually many examples of small numbers defeating many. What's more, the king of Wei, Zhao Run, who was facing him, was a commander who was known for being good at defeating the strong with the weak and outnumbering the enemy with a large number of enemies.
What's more important is that Chu Shuijun couldn't figure out what kind of support Zhao Run had on the opposite side, so he dared to attack those nearby on the day he just arrived in Daliang, when his Wei soldiers were not in the best physical condition.
After resting for a full day, millions of coalition forces from various countries launched a general attack.
Is... really trying to fight to the death, or is it just a bluff, trying to force our army to retreat?
Clutching the riding crop in his hand, Chu Shuijun was filled with shock and uncertainty.
In fact, at this moment, near the main formation of the Wei army, the minister of the inner dynasty Jie Zizi, the general of the imperial guard Cen Chang and others were actually frightened by the fact that the king of Wei, Zhao Run, had overwhelmed all the troops at once, and their faces turned pale with fear.
.
"Your Majesty, are you sure of victory?"
Riding his horse close to the king's chariot, Jie Zigui said cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Run glanced at Jie Ziziu and said in a deep voice: "The morale is there, our army will win!"
Morale is available?... In other words, there is no guarantee of victory?
After understanding the hidden meaning of Zhao Run's words, Jie Ziyu secretly complained in his heart.
As if he had guessed what Jie Ziyu was thinking, Zhao Run looked at the battlefield ahead and said calmly: "Don't worry, our army has at least a 60% chance of winning this battle... I know very well the plans of the coalition forces of various countries. Just look at it.
They sent a group of grain and soldiers to the
At the front of the array, you can guess that they just want to test our army today, and are not planning to fight our army... And this is the best opportunity for our army to defeat them. This is also a kind of
Unexpected.”
Zhao Run's words did not dispel the doubts in Jie Ziyu's heart. He whispered: "If the coalition forces also order the entire army to dispatch..."
After hearing this, Zhao Run said lightly: "Then I will order the Sichuan-Luo cavalry to move in full force. It seems that such a chaotic battlefield is the most suitable for the cavalry to be outstanding, but..."
After a pause, he took a long breath and said with a hint of worry: "If this happens, both sides will lose."
Having said this, he raised his head and glanced far away.
Chu Shuijun, do you really have the courage to use all your troops to bet on the victory of this war with me?
Yes, although Zhao Run actually did not use all his troops in a foolhardy manner, the direction of this war still depends on how Chu Shuijun on the opposite side responds.
If Chu Shuijun is also a commander with a bad temper like Zhao Run, in that case, even if today's war ends in a draw with both sides hurt, the Wei army will be very hurt.
This is a big gamble.
