Shangguan Ziqi was speechless for a long time after listening to Chen Yuzhong's words.
He didn't expect that his second brother cared so much about his personal life.
Perhaps Luo's death was too much of a blow for him to accept.
He did not choose to commit suicide, but chose to sacrifice his life for the country. He died a worthy death and lived up to his ancestors.
The time has passed, leaving only a sigh.
If he is really the father and son of many people.
Why!
Moreover, his mother gave birth to a younger sister for him.
Shangguan Ziqi was sad for two days and then changed his mood.
Canglan now occupies four cities in Dawei. It is estimated that they will advance to Jinhe City after a short rest.
They vowed not to stop until Wei surrendered.
In this battle, nearly 10,000 people from the Wei Dynasty died, and more than 10,000 were injured to varying degrees.
The military doctor was so busy that he had little sleep for several days.
As soon as Shangguan Ziqi arrived, Chen Yuzhong handed the seal of command to him.
There are currently 80,000 soldiers in Jinhe City, including the wounded.
There are also garrisons in several surrounding cities to prevent enemy sneak attacks.
Although the enemy's main force is just ahead in Jinjiang City, there is no guarantee that they will not go to the nearby cities.
After Shangguan Ziqi reorganized the military affairs, he summoned all the generals above the rank of lieutenant general to discuss how to deal with the enemy next.
A large map was spread out.
The terrain and cities to the north of the Wei Dynasty are clearly visible.
"According to our spies, the enemy has 70,000 troops in Jinjiang City. They captured four of our cities and left 20,000 troops in each city.
A part of them was sent to besiege Rongyun City. Their original intention was to advance towards the capital of the Great Wei from two directions.
Rongyun City has two natural barriers, a mountain on one side and a river on the other. If we defend the front, the enemy will not be able to conquer it in a short time.
Luoan City, Jinjiang City, Jinhe City, and Jinyang City behind them do not have any barriers. This area is entirely plain. We have to rely on our tactics and strength to fight the enemy.
Everyone can express their opinions, and we will discuss the best deployment and prepare for the next battle."
Shangguan Ziqi looked at the map, pointed at the symbol on it, and guided everyone to look at it, hoping to gather everyone's ideas to repel the enemy.
"Brother, the soil in Jinhe City is relatively loose. We can dig a trip ditch to block the enemy's cavalry. As long as the enemy's cavalry is in chaos, our chances of winning will be much greater." A lieutenant general expressed his opinion.
"This method is feasible. Guys, you can put some wooden spikes in the tripping ditch so that people and horses fall in and can never get up again." Another person added.
"Men, when the enemy comes, let the shield bearers go in front first, with people stacked up and standing high to form a human wall. The archers do the same to increase the hit rate. The archers rush up the human wall in several batches to make the time interval between two arrows as short as possible. Block the enemy's advance speed." A deputy general suggested.
"Hey, put a pot on the wall and boil some water. If we are defeated and have to retreat back to the city, pour the boiling water on us first."
"Yes, add another round of kerosene."
"Throw more rocks at me."
......
Everyone said what they thought.
After listening to the opinions of the generals, Zhong Weiliang felt that these were all common methods they used on the battlefield. They could only stop the enemy temporarily, and in the end the two armies would have to fight to the death.
The terrain here is flat, it's really a good idea.
He had just come into contact with the war and had not yet truly witnessed the bravery of the Canglan people.
When he entered the city two days ago, he just watched from the city wall. It was all about physical fighting. If it weren't for the arrival of the cavalry led by Yizi, it would have been difficult to win the battle and they could only retreat to the next city.
The hasty march had exhausted him greatly. His riding skills were certainly not as good as those of the generals and soldiers, and he often ran at the end. The horses in front ran, raising dust. He had no idea how much he had eaten, and he often couldn't open his eyes.
He had never experienced such hardship in his life.
Suddenly, Zhong Weiliang had an idea.
Have you eaten so much dust along the way that you can’t even open your eyes?
"My boy, I have a little trick that can be used on the battlefield, but it will be a bit damaging." Zhong Weiliang said with a smile.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Shangguan Ziqi was very curious.
Zhong Weiliang shared a little trick he had thought of.
The generals all looked at him strangely.
Can war be so insidious?
But everyone thinks that as long as they are in charge, it doesn't matter what the method is.
Unanimous agreement.
April 20th.
The Canglan army set up camp ten miles outside Jinhe City.
On April 22nd, an arrow was shot onto the city wall, and a letter of challenge full of contempt flew along with the arrow.
On April 23, a great battle broke out outside Jinhe City.
Shangguan Ziqi, as the commander, stood on a tall chariot, wearing silver armor, a long sword on his waist, and holding four flags of different colors in his hands.
The war drums are beating.
The two armies faced off.
The Canglan cavalry vanguard rushed towards the Wei phalanx with unstoppable force.
When they were still five hundred feet away from the Wei army, several tripwires suddenly rose from the ground.
The horse in the front row fell down, and the horses behind it were also tripped.
This move reduced the number of enemy cavalry charging forward by one-fifth.
The soldier who was pulling the trip rope in the dugout immediately jumped out and rushed towards the cavalry who fell down.
The battlefield in front suddenly became chaotic.
The enemy's second echelon of shieldmen and archers quickly lined up.
The Wei army's shieldmen and archers also quickly formed a human wall.
Just as the other side finished shooting a round of arrows, the Wei army also shot out arrows, which were one section higher. Many of the other side's archers were also hit by arrows.
After the rain of arrows, the sound of war drums changed.
Both sides rushed at each other at the same time.
When the Wei soldiers rushed forward, the square formation did not become disordered.
When the two armies met, the Wei soldiers were divided into groups of ten, with two people in each group holding shields.
The entire battlefield was instantly filled with shouts of killing.
The sounds of swords clashing, horses neighing, and war drums all intertwined together.
The soldiers involved were so excited that their blood boiled, and their eyes were filled with the strong desire to kill the enemy.
"kill!"
This is a hard-fought battle.
Canglan sent out 20,000 troops and Dawei sent out 25,000 troops.
Shangguan Ziqi kept an eye on the battle situation ahead, waving the flag in his hand constantly, commanding the formation changes on the field.
However, in terms of physical strength, the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty are still inferior to the soldiers of the Canglan Army.
Gradually, more and more people began to fall down.
Shangguan Ziqi saw that the time was almost right and suddenly changed his gesture. Then an unusual horn sounded.
The Wei soldiers in the field received the signal, and those who could free a hand reached their hand into the clothes under the leather armor. Then, with a wave of their hands, a handful of fine sand flew out, aiming at the enemy's eyes.
At this moment, sand got into the eyes of many enemies, making it difficult and uncomfortable for them to open their eyes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Wei soldiers struck the enemy in vital areas with their swords or spears.
This sudden change happened too suddenly, and countless Canglan soldiers were killed or injured in an instant.
"Damn it, the people of Wei are so insidious." The enemy general was stunned for a while before reacting.
Sound the signal immediately.
Shangguan Ziqi was not willing to let go of this opportunity, and he waved his hand again, and the cavalry was dispatched to chase and kill.
The infantry tasted the sweetness of this and also rushed forward desperately, chasing and killing along the way, and taking a handful of sand whenever they had the chance.
Each person was carrying two to three pounds of sand, enough for them to spread it dozens of times.
The Canglan Army retreated back to the camp, and more than 10,000 soldiers came out of the camp to support them. The Wei people were blood-thirsty, and this was a rare opportunity, so they all fought bravely.
Shangguan Ziqi personally rode his warhorse to chase after them, harvesting enemy heads along the way.
