Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 348: Pride leads to defeat

In the capital, everything was going well for Fang Yun, but on the northern side, Liu Qin encountered some difficulties.

After experiencing several unpleasing battles, Shangyang Kingdom also sent out several strong generals with the intention of turning the tide of the war around.

Facing their personnel changes, Daqi naturally had to take corresponding countermeasures.

So on the sand table, Liu Qin had a conflict with Yang Chengyu.

Liu Qin believed that General Huo led the troops quickly and powerfully. He was good at using the cavalry to charge, and was light, fast, and highly maneuverable. In this battle between the two armies, the other side used a lot of force. If they wanted to attack fiercely, they would use infantry. I'm afraid it's not powerful enough to charge forward.

However, Yang Chengyu believed that the Shangyang Kingdom was approaching fiercely, so they should first charge with infantry holding shields to form a human wall, and then use the archers hiding behind to attack from a distance.

If the archers retreat, the infantry changes formation, and then the cavalry rushes out, they can directly cross the first enemy line of defense, enter the center of the enemy camp, and collapse it in one fell swoop.

It was fine that the two had different opinions. Yang Chengyu also sarcastically said that Liu Qin was just a poor scholar. He had been lucky to win the previous times with his suggestions, but how could he be allowed to interfere in such a big battle? .

At this point, although Liu Qin was angry, he really couldn't beat Yang Chengyu.

After all, Yang Chengyu was an imperial official sent from Kyoto, and he was just a small strategist beside Huo Mingxuan.

Although the marching strategy had not been decided at that time, Liu Qin was humiliated by Yang Chengyu.

Scholars, good face, especially young and energetic scholars.

When Liu Qin thought about how polite he was in the capital, he became even more disgusted with Yang Chengyu.

Of course, this also made Liu Qin more aware that without the identity of Zhao Fei's adopted brother, it would have been even harder for him to achieve fame.

For a moment, I secretly made up my mind to have a closer relationship with Fang Yun, the sibling who came halfway.

Thinking of the relationship between Yang Chengyu and Concubine Yang, Liu Qin no longer insisted on arguing with him.

He wanted to see how Yang Chengyu would deal with it if his strategy failed and he was defeated.

However, the soldiers were innocent and could not pay for his stupidity.

After thinking about it, Liu Qin got up and went to find Huo Mingxuan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain was lifted, the two of them almost butted heads.

"You scared me!" Huo Mingxuan jumped back, widened the distance between the two, and looked him up and down, "Where are you going? Looking for Xiao Song?"

Liu Qin had a dark face, frowned, and dragged him into the tent.

"I'm here to discuss something with you."

"That's just right. I also have something to ask you."

Huo Mingxuan shrugged, took off his sword and slapped it on the table, and said directly.

"That persimmon is no good. He is capable but does not understand the real battlefield. He is still young. I think your strategy is more feasible."

"Since you know, why don't you tell the coach." Liu Qin snorted.

After he finished speaking, Huo Mingxuan grinned, "If I hadn't told you, could I have come to find you?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qin's eyes immediately lit up.

At this moment, there was another sound from the door of the camp.

Liu Qin stood up to take a look and opened the curtain. Standing at the door was Ye Yunxiao.

"I was looking for General Xiao Huo. I heard he was at your place, so I came over."

The three young men looked at each other and started discussing.

On the other side, in Yang Chengyu's tent, personal guards came in to report.

"Your Majesty, General Xiao Huo and General Ye have gone to the military advisor's camp."

"Hmph, a poor scholar is worthy of their praise." Yang Chengyu sneered, then his eyes moved and he lowered his voice, "Beware of some of them having careful thoughts, make sure everything is safe for me in the military camp."

The guard nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty." He then left the camp.

In the afternoon, the marching strategy was decided, which was exactly what Yang Chengyu wanted.

This made him pay less attention to Liu Qin and concentrate on arranging his own manpower.

Because he asked the Duke of Qin for orders, in this case, he wanted to lead the cavalry into the enemy's hinterland.

Usually this cavalry is led by Huo Mingxuan. By doing this, Yang Chengyu is undoubtedly challenging Huo Mingxuan.

However, there is more than one cavalry team, so it doesn't hurt to give him some, but Huo Mingxuan must feel uncomfortable.

But Yang Chengyu ignored these. In the past, in the Marquis Mansion, he was the eldest son, and even the heir apparent, the most outstanding son of Nanning Marquis. No one in the family would listen to him.

Even the Marquis of Nanning asked for his opinion.

After years of success, although Yang Chengyu also has real abilities, he is undoubtedly proud of himself.

In his previous battle with Ye Yunxiao, he led the infantry. Now he wanted to lead the cavalry. He wanted to quickly raise his status in the army and be on par with Huo Mingxuan.

Seeing his ambition in his eyes, Duke Qin didn't say anything. He just glanced at his youngest son and signaled Huo Mingxuan not to go against Yang Chengyu.

In the military camp, it is not your hot-blooded tenacity that can win the battle. Veteran generals like Yang Chengyu and Qin Guogong like to dampen their spirit.

How can you become a qualified general if you don't guard against arrogance and impatience?

Even though Huo Mingxuan is so careless, he has been trained by Qin Guogong countless times. He seems to be flamboyant, but in fact he is very steady and cautious.

Of course Yang Chengyu didn't know this. He was too arrogant and no one wanted to tell him this.

So the war started a few days later, and he suffered a lot.

Our infantry charges, and the opponent seems to be charging with infantry, but they can quickly change their formation as they rush forward, with the infantry as the supplement, covering the cavalry in the middle as they rush out quickly.

The cavalry are all heavily armored soldiers, and they have a great advantage against the infantry. Because of the strong collision kinetic energy of the horses, even if the infantry is wearing armor, it cannot resist the rapid thrust of the cavalry's spear.

The archers Yang Chengyu arranged in the middle of our army did not wear thick armor in order to be light and retreat quickly. Moreover, the bows and arrows were long-range weapons and could not cope with the brave charging of the opponent's cavalry in close combat.

The formation was quickly broken up.

Yang Chengyu was furious when he saw this. While sending a signal for the drum beaters to beat the drums to remind the soldiers to change their formations, Yang Chengyu rushed out with the cavalry to face the Shangyang cavalry.

However, our military formation has been dispersed first. It will naturally take time and difficulty to restore and change the formation. The opponent's cavalry and infantry are fast and powerful, and the sound of killing is loud.

Just when Yang Chengyu was about to be captured alive by the opposing general, the roar of our army came from the side.

It turned out that Huo Mingxuan and Ye Yunxiao, with their troops, took advantage of Yang Chengyu to lure the enemy troops deep from the center and the fight was fierce. They quietly gathered troops from the sides and carried out an outflank at this time.

By the time the enemy realized something was wrong and wanted to evacuate, their retreat had already been cut off.

At that time, Duke Guo of Qin ordered the city gates to be opened, and another group of troops, led by General Zhang, came out to receive reinforcements.

They tightly surrounded the enemy troops and captured a large number of prisoners alive.

Although he won, Yang Chengyu was not among the winners. After the battle, Yang Chengyu only felt burning pain on his face.

Looking at the celebrating smiling faces of others, I felt particularly dazzling.

Using the excuse that he was injured and needed bandaging, he left alone and returned to his tent.

But everyone thought that after giving him such a lesson, he would be more humble. In order to protect his face, they didn't bother him. They just quickly wrote a military report about the victory and sent it to the capital.

Quickly, Pei Yao received this battle report in just a few days, and he was also very happy.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, which is undoubtedly exciting news.

Some people were happy and some were sad. When Concubine Yang learned that among the meritorious people, everyone's names were reported, except for her brother, she became darkened.
