Chapter 22 Arrows Deter the Three Armies
Ye Ming was so anxious that he was so determined to fight between Zhao and Wu, which made him helpless when he wanted to argue.
War is always ruthless, not to mention that the winning rate seems to be low, he is very guilty.
"What should Mr. Zhuang do?" Ye Ming asked Zhuang Xia.
Zhuang Xia was eating and shook her head: "Cold salmon, fight, you won't stop if you don't hit the other party. Without blood in the war, the flag of victory will not be dyed red."
"But we can't win!" He didn't forget the 50,000 new recruits who had no combat power.
"The veterans are in front and the new soldiers are in back, and they are mainly attacking the Wu army. As long as the Wu army is too much, in order to prevent Zhao, the Wu king will definitely agree to peace talks.
Don't worry, if I can't win, I will help you."
Ye Ming was much more stable when he heard this, so he turned around and went to stabilize the king of Yue. After all, he was not very at ease.
On the day of the decisive battle, the two sides of the battle set up their cars and horses on a plain, and the battle was about to begin.
Ye Ming shouted to the other party: "When the war begins, blood will flow here. I am willing to discuss peace with him, so why ignore it and let the soldiers fight and fight endlessly."
He said this, although the soldiers of the other army were moved, they ignored it because they had the advantage of their own number.
In this era of advocating military merits, they were too eager for war and victory.
The king of Zhao laughed and said, "I have no timid children, and I still want to discuss peace before the war? I'm delusional!"
"Fight!"
Chen Jun beat the drum, and more than 100,000 people rushed forward at a rapid speed. Ye Ming stood on the chariot and carried it forward in it, while Zhuang Xia and him were in the same chariot.
When they rushed to nearly a hundred steps ahead, the archer behind the infantry drew his strings and opened his bow. The arrows were like rain, and many soldiers fell on both sides.
But the soldiers from both sides of the enemy and us were not afraid at all, and rushed forward until the army finally handed over. The archers finally stopped shooting arrows to prevent injuries to their own soldiers.
However, the long swords are opposite and the close forces are even more bloody and shocking. From time to time, you can see the head thrown away and blood sprayed several meters high.
There were clanging sounds of weapons colliding everywhere, and the soldiers shouted and killed each other.
In just a short incense stick, thousands of people had fallen on the ground, and the cruelty of the war was self-evident.
The Chen army's strategy was to attack Wu, and the Wu army was the main force to fight against Yue, Chen was the main force to fight against Zhao, and even divided some forces to siege the soldiers of Wu.
Therefore, in just a short period of time, the Wu army suffered heavy losses.
However, although Wu was beaten up badly, Chen also showed signs of decline under the attack of Zhao.
If this continues, within a few quarters of an hour, the State of Chen will be defeated, and the soldiers will be unable to resist and withdraw their troops.
"Sir!" Ye Ming urged Zhuang Xia.
"Give me a bow." Zhuang Xia took a deep breath and said.
Hearing this, the attendant hurriedly took out Zhuang Xia's bow and arrow.
Zhuang Xia's bow and arrow are smaller than other people's bows, but they are a bow with strong bow power, and they are made of iron all over, and they cannot be pulled without outstanding strength.
Even a thousand pounds of force can only pull a small half.
When the casting craftsmen built it, they complained that no one could use it freely, and it was just a decoration to make it.
But at this moment, Zhuang Xia pulled the bow and pulled it for a full month. If the craftsman saw it, he would definitely stare out his eyes.
Zhuang Xia arrows face the Wu Kingdom military flag. This flag is the direction of the army and a spiritual symbol. In order to prevent destruction, it is as thick as an adult's arms.
He aimed at the flagpole and shot an arrow without hesitation.
Only a sound of sob was heard, and an arrow that could not even see the shadow passed through the flagpole in an instant. The huge penetration force shot the flagpole and broke it in half, falling down in an instant.
As soon as the flag fell, the Wu army immediately became chaotic, and the king of Wu was furious.
But he was angry that he did not see Zhuang Xia aiming the arrow at him. In an instant, an arrow flew over and fell on his eyebrows.
"Mr. King!" The king of Wu, whose eyes turned black, felt his eyebrows reaching and immediately lost consciousness.
However, he was not dead. The arrow shot through more than half of the skull. If he had a greater strength, he would definitely die.
"Retreat! Retreat!" The general of Wu State ordered people to withdraw their troops.
The soldiers of Wu who heard the signal retreated without hesitation. Their losses were already very serious and they had long been eager to retreat.
After running more than fifty steps, they regrouped, but they set off to retreat.
If soldiers in this era run fifty steps away, there are regulations that they cannot chase after them. The so-called "fifty steps" and "a hundred steps" are like this. It is safe to run fifty steps away.
"What's going on? Why did the Wu Kingdom retreat?" The king of Zhao State was extremely angry and was about to win. As soon as this friendly army retreated, the situation on the battlefield immediately reversed.
Soon, the Zhao army was suppressed and attacked by the coalition forces of Chen and Yue. The 50,000 new soldiers in Chen were under the advantage and their combat effectiveness should not be ignored.
Fighting a good-wind battle is not difficult for new recruits.
The helpless king of Zhao had to withdraw his troops.
The two coalition forces of Chen and Yue chased after a while but stopped chasing them. After all, they were actually just a little advantage.
After cleaning the battlefield, they withdrew from Yicheng and ended the battle with a start and abrupt end.
Ye Ming was very happy at this moment. They really won. In this way, his position as a monarch was stable.
"Thank you, Mr., for taking action, to turn the situation around. I wonder if the king of Wu has died in battle?"
As soon as he thanked Zhuang Xia, he asked him about the king of Wu. He saw Zhuang Xia shoot the second arrow with his own eyes, and also saw the king of Wu fall from a distance.
"No." He was very familiar with the arrow he shot, saying that he didn't die, because he didn't want the other party to die.
"How is that possible!"
"Maybe it's a little farther away, it's not strong enough."
Too far, Zhuang Xia could even shoot the military flag with the thickness of his arm, but he could shoot it for only a few dozen meters away, but he didn't even shoot it to death?
But he was unable to study in depth. Maybe it was really far away, maybe it was because Zhuang Xia didn't use much effort, or maybe he shot missed.
"Now we can send envoys to negotiate peace. The king of Wu is uncertain about his life and death, and the strength of the army is greatly damaged, so they can no longer afford to fight.
If they were not afraid that Zhao State would take the opportunity to eat their army, they would agree to peace talks, and how to save their king now is the top priority.
As for Zhao State, without the help of Wu State, the strength will be greatly reduced, and there is a great possibility of agreeing to peace agreement.
But we can't force each other. After all, Zhao State has a population of four million. If Zhao State is anxious, it will not be worth the cost if it is another 100,000 troops."
After Zhuang Xia finished speaking, he turned around and left. He had already said what he should say, and it depends on what Ye Ming did.
I hope he was not blinded by victory. In essence, Chen Guoyuan is not as powerful as Zhao Guo, and Chen Yue's coalition relations are also very weak, so they are limited to protection and counterattack.
The next day, the Wu army was eager to return to the country, and the Zhao king had no choice but to negotiate peace with Chen.
On the third day, Zhao's army withdrew and Ye Ming returned to the court.
On this day, the Chen Kingdom celebrated the whole country and promoted Yeming's wise and magical martial arts.
The swaying carriage carried Zhuang Xia back to Zhuang Mansion. Although the whole country celebrated the disaster of Chen Kingdom, Zhuang Xia seemed to have not felt it. He went home directly and did not participate in Yeming's celebration banquet.
"Purple-Yi! Purple-Yi! I'm back."
Zhuang Xia is very strange, where is this dead girl?
After a while, Ziyi rushed over. The girl was sleeping just now and was shocked when she heard Zhuang Xia's call in a daze.
"Sir, you're back. I haven't been back for so long, I'm worried about it."
"What are you worried about? I'm afraid I'll die?" Zhuang Xia asked her.
"Of course not, I'm worried that the adults will be injured."
She wouldn't say that she was really afraid that he would die, and she didn't know where to go.
"Okay, sir, I'm going to take a shower, so you can wipe my back."
"No, no, right?"
"What don't you need? As my maid, do you know if you need to serve me closely?"
"Oh." Ziyi pouted when she heard Yan, remembering the last time she was pulled into the pool by him.
"There are so many things to do with the kids." She murmured in a low voice.
"Stop complaining, come here!"
Zhuang Xia stared at her, don't think he couldn't hear it, his ears were good.
"Ah! I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything, it must be because the adults heard it wrong."
Taking a small step, Ziyi hurriedly followed.
The next day, Ye Ming publicly rewarded him, and Zhuang Xia was named the national magistrate, and was given the title of Count, and was given to a county of thousands of households.
