Far and near, there are black oceans of different sizes, and the Shu army camp located in it is like an isolated island in the middle of the ocean, facing the boundless waves.
As the commander of the personal guards said, the nearest enemy army is only twelve or three miles away from the camp. This is an iron-armored fine cavalry, the war horse is advancing like a wall, and the long spear is in front of it like a forest. Dust flies up under the horse's hooves, covering half of the horse's body.
The cavalry at the front line up in black armor and black robes, men carrying strong crossbows, horses with bright saddles, the leader in the middle is silver armor and white robes, the color is very bright, like a dancing flame.
For Jingqi who was already charging, twelve or three li was just a short distance away.
Wang Jian felt cold all over his body, and finally he was convinced that the army had fallen into an ambush.
At this moment of dawn, it was announced that they were in a near death situation.
The unexpected change made Wang Jian's hands tremble uncontrollably.
He recognized the elite cavalry.
He would rather not recognize it.
If he didn't recognize it, he wouldn't be so shocked and terrified.
That is the Pinglu Army and Spike Capital!
The white-robed general is Shangguan Qingcheng!
Wang Jian's self-satisfaction, self-confidence, and fighting spirit are like a broken dam in an instant.
"How could it be Shangguan Qingcheng? How could it be the Pinglu Army?!" Given Wang Jian's hundred heads, he would never have imagined that this army would attack him, "King An is gone, why is the Pinglu Army still fighting? , or go to Ruzhou to fight?!"
There may be an answer to this question.
Apart from the Pinglu Army, the most conspicuous formation on the other side was the formation of the Guanzhong Army, because the leading general, Zhao Bingkun, was also very familiar to Wang Jian.
Zhao Bingkun has arrived, and the Guanzhong Army has arrived, which means that King Qi has participated in this battle.
However, didn't the Guanzhong army who set off from Chang'an have been moving slowly and had just arrived in Tongguan
How did this Guanzhong army emerge
In addition to these two armies, there are Hedong Army, Zhaoyi Army, Wei Bo Army, Xuanwu Army...
There are more than 600,000 soldiers and horses in several towns, but only the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under Wang Jian's command are surrounded.
Wang Jian thought about it with his toes, and he knew that his other two armies would not have encountered the enemy's situation. The battle in front of him showed that the opponent's intention was a decisive battle.
At this time, the generals in the battalion also noticed the vision, and they all left the big tent and took to the sky to wait and see. After seeing the endless influx of enemy troops outside the camp, the expressions of all the generals of the Shu army changed drastically at the school gate, and there was a sound of gasping for air everywhere.
Immediately, they all gathered at Wang Jian's feet and began to chatter.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
"Where did so many enemy troops come from?"
"Your Highness, who is going to attack us?"
"Your Highness! Why did King Qi's soldiers join forces with King An's army? How did so many soldiers suddenly appear here?" Wang Jian's confidant general clasped his fists at his feet and asked urgently, "What should we do?!"
This is also Wang Jian's question.
Why did Li Maozhen's soldiers and horses act together with Li Ye's soldiers and horses
Who is in command? Li Maozhen
He actually got the service of Li Ye's army
Wang Jian didn't know the answer.
What he can be sure of is that such a large number of troops can suddenly appear overnight, it is definitely not done in a hurry, it is obviously well prepared and set up an ambush here.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, every county town and every mountain forest must have hidden densely packed soldiers before today! Those small towns that Wang Jian didn't bother to care about, and the forests that didn't need to go deep into the woods, were actually scourges!
The Shu army marched into Ruzhou, but they actually stepped into a trap!
Compared with Li Ye and Li Maozhen, Wang Jian's military strength is not superior. How many troops are there in the seven towns in Hebei and the nine towns in Henan? In addition, Li Maozhen's soldiers and horses are several times that of Wang Jian!
The other party wanted to finish his work in one battle, and beat him to death with a stick!
"Order all the villages to close the camp gates and fight to the death!" Wang Jian, with a livid face, uttered a sentence through his teeth. Although he tried his best to suppress it, his voice still trembled unavoidably.
"yes... ... "
All the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all sensed that others were as uneasy as themselves. They were in the Central Plains, and they were surrounded by several times of enemy troops. If there was a slight discrepancy in the battle, their life and death might be unpredictable.
"Zhang Xingyou!" Wang Jian summoned the number one master of his monk group in a low voice, "Lead people to break through quickly and ask King Wu for help!"
"Yes!" Zhang Xingyou cupped his fists to accept the order, and waved his hands to attract several monks, all of whom were in real life, and flew to the east together.
However, they were less than ten miles away from the camp when they were stopped by monks several times their size.
"Whoever blocks me will die!" Zhang Xingyou roared, waved his sleeves, and clapped a hundred palms in an instant. Suddenly, a storm surged in midair, and huge palm shadows filled the sky, covering the sky and the sun, with extraordinary power.
It's a pity, but in the blink of an eye, the palm shadows all over the sky dissipated one after another, replaced by boundless flying leaves, as colorful as snowflakes. A white train shaped like a giant python, and with lightning speed, passed through the leaf curtain and arrived in front of Zhang Xingyou. He was so shocked that he retreated hastily.
"Falling leaves and flying flowers, practicing bare hands for nothing, the young master commanding orders?!" Zhang Xingyou looked at his opponent with fear in his eyes, and didn't dare to make another easy move for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Wang Jian clenched his fists tightly, veins protruding from the back of his hands.
He was angry, aggrieved, and annoyed. Because until now, he has not figured out what happened.
He was obviously in a desperate situation, but he still didn't know why he fell into this situation.
Fortunately, he soon understood.
Because he saw a familiar figure.
It was a young monk dressed in a purple scarlet robe, with delicate features and sharp eyes. He stood tall in the air, looking down at Wang Jian from a height, with one hand behind his back, and the other gently waving a folding fan in front of his chest, with a teasing smile on his lips.
He said: "I haven't seen you in ten months, so the king of Shu will come and be safe?"
"Li, Mao, Zhen!" Wang Jian stared at each other.
The smile on the corners of Li Maozhen's mouth became wider, "It's just a mere thing."
"Li Maozhen, what kind of hero are you to bully me!" Wang Jian's eyes were red.
Li Maozhen chuckled: "That day in Kunlun, when you and Gao Pian teamed up to deal with this king, you didn't give me a chance to question whether you were heroes."
Wang Jian's face darkened, and he said word by word with the momentum of breaking the boat: "Li Maozhen, don't be arrogant! Do you think you will win? Are you really in control of King An's army? The king's camp is very strong, and the food and supplies are sufficient. There are hundreds of thousands of troops on the left and right, enough to hold on for more than a month! When the king of Wu comes to help, do you think that the soldiers and horses of King An will still listen to your orders? If you seek skin from a tiger, even if the situation is strong, it will eventually be eaten by the tiger!"
At this time, Wang Jian naturally realized that he had been deceived by Li Maozhen before: the other party made some Guanzhong troops slow down and stay in Tongguan, which was actually a plan to secretly cross Chencang by building plank roads.
Wang Jian couldn't be completely blamed for this. After all, his monks and spies couldn't go deep into the river. After all, Huanyinfang was not free, so he couldn't detect Zhao Bingkun's actions.
What Wang Jian didn't expect was that Li Maozhen could make King An's soldiers obey his orders. But if you think about it carefully, this is not without reason, there are only a few possibilities.
Wang Jian secretly pondered: "King An is no longer here. Of course, the old troops of King An have to find another way out. Li Maozhen coerced the emperor to order the princes. It is not difficult to use the hand of the emperor to make some of King An's old troops obey the orders of the court. You only need to promise a large profit."
"But this kind of affiliation is not reliable. If the war goes well, it's okay. If the war goes wrong and the towns suffer losses, don't say that King An's old department will continue to work for Li Maozhen. Even if the emperor comes in person, it won't work."
After thinking through this layer, Wang Jian calmed down.
After hearing Wang Jian's words, Li Maozhen couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
He looked at Wang Jian full of ridicule and pity: "From your tone, it seems that I tricked King An's soldiers into it? You are wrong."
Wang Jian sneered and said, "You didn't cheat me, so don't they really submit to you?"
Li Maozhen smiled without saying a word, it said on his face that I was very proud but I didn't want to show it, and I just like to see you, the monk Zhang Er, who can't figure it out.
However, Li Maozhen is not a person who can hide his words. He waved his hand quickly, "Wang Jian, in today's battle, you and I will count the new and old grudges together. If you think you can hold the camp, then give it a try. But this The king can tell you that within three days, you will definitely be defeated here. Ruzhou is where you will be buried!"
After Li Maozhen said this, she put away the folding fan with a snap, and the sound spread like a torrent of bells in all directions: "Every army listens to the order and attacks!"
The sound of footsteps, the sound of wearing iron armor, and the sound of shouting and killing filled the world in an instant.
...
Wang Jian returned to the camp, built watchtowers in the middle of the army, and commanded and dispatched all parties to fight. He told the generals: "Li Maozhen and the old army of King An joined forces because of interests. With a few waves of offensives from the enemy army, they will be defeated quickly!"
From each camp and each village, echoes echoed one after another.
Of course, things did not develop as Wang Jian expected.
Before dusk that day, Dongzhai was breached by the Pinglu army led by Shangguan Qingcheng.
After a night of fierce fighting, the Shu army lost a large number of large and small camps.
At noon the next day, the northern camp was broken.
So far, the Shu army has suffered heavy casualties, and including the Chinese camp, two of the five camps have been lost. If they cannot quickly organize forces to counterattack, the situation will be over.
Wang Jian's face sank like water, "How could this happen? How could King An's army fight so hard? How could they be willing to sacrifice their lives for Li Maozhen? It's impossible..."
Wang Jian knew very well what it meant to be broken into two big camps in less than two days, so he couldn't help but be terrified at this moment.
"Your Highness, the Pinglu Army is too strong, and the Guanzhong Army has too many generals. Now that they are attacking from all sides, the Chinese Army camp can't hold it anymore. Let's retreat quickly, or it will be too late!" The confidant general ran up the watchtower covered in blood.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
"Withdraw?" Wang Jian was startled, and then flew into a rage, "Bastard! This king is not yet defeated, how dare you say withdraw? You defeated general, I will kill you first!"
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness calm down..."
"General Sun has been fighting bloody battles, Your Highness must not kill him..."
Left and right quickly came up to dissuade them.
Wang Jian was stopped by the crowd, his expression changed several times, he suddenly covered his chest, and spewed out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness..."
"What's the matter with you, Your Highness?"
"Your Highness, take care of yourself. Although we have been defeated for a while, we can still return to Xuzhou, rely on the fortified city to defend ourselves, and then ask the King of Wu for help. It may not be impossible to make a comeback..."
Wang Jian took a deep breath, stabilized his figure, looked at the north with hatred and unwillingness, and roared: "Li Maozhen! Come out for me, come out and fight to the death with this king! You can't win this king, you can't win this king! king!"
Li Maozhen soon appeared in the sky, still with the unrestrained appearance of a folding fan, overlooking Wang Jian with a smile: "Wang Jian, Wang Jian, you are still stubborn when you are about to die. If this is the case, this king will come to collect your body."
