The devil is coming

Chapter 578 Nanhou Fenghua (3)
The city of Yingdu was already in chaos, but this chaos had a sense of "orderliness".
The two opposite descriptions appearing together may seem absurd, but they are indeed reality.
Whenever a country is destroyed, a family is destroyed, or a dynasty collapses, everything must be done step by step.
After all, Dachu was not a short-lived dynasty established in a hurry, nor was it a chaotic world dominated by strong soldiers and horses.
Thinking back to the place where Qian Kingdom was located, the chaos of proclaiming yourself emperor today and being beheaded by your subordinate generals the next had never happened in the Chu region.
Although at the moment, Da Chu is in a stalemate with the Yan people in the north, who have been at the peak of their power in recent years, the situation is not very good, and there is even a heavy pressure in everyone's heart;
After all, the land of Sanjin has learned from the past.
However, what everyone is thinking is that even if the situation is going to collapse, they have to do it step by step. Even if the Yan people really invade, they should slowly gnaw away one city at a time.
Just like how Da Chu kept encroaching on the territory of surrounding mountains and small countries hundreds of years ago.
Who could have expected,
All of a sudden,
The Yan people's cavalry appeared outside the capital?
Because no one from the head of Guizhou to the nobles in the capital had this mental preparation, so after a moment of panic, they instinctively continued to follow the operating rules and logic.
First, the camp outside Beijing discovered the enemy's situation and immediately reported to the City Gate Division. The City Gate Division beat the city gate drum and reported to the Jingfu Yamen. The Jingfu Yamen then reported to the Yingdu Protectorate Division; the Guards Division then reported Immediately send someone to the palace and report to the Ministry of War, who will report to Mo Ao, who will report to Sima, who will report to Ling Yin. In Chu State, Ling Yin is equivalent to the prime minister, and finally, Ling Yin will report to the regent. Wang went to report.
Hey,
Don't say
The Yan Army's cavalry has arrived outside.
The bureaucracy of Yingdu in the city is still running in such an orderly manner, with layers upon layers of steps going up. You don't know whether to praise them for staying calm in times of crisis or to ridicule them for being so stupid.
Although Da Chu also has six bureaus, the Minister of War in Da Chu does not have much authority. The so-called six bureau official system is more like seeing that all brother countries are like this, so I must have one, otherwise it will appear that I am lagging behind. In essence, the power of the imperial court was hereditary divided among the major nobles.
Therefore, the Minister of War and Sima jointly issued an order to quickly prepare for defense in the camp outside the capital.
Yingdu,
It's not easy to guard.
But now the senior nobles who were able to fight in Yingdu are all leading troops outside. Therefore, the military order is for defense, and it is for defense when entering the city.
The person who issued the order didn't care whether Yingdu, a large and romantic city, could carry out a city defense battle. He only knew that he would feel at ease if troops and horses from outside the city were brought in as soon as possible.
however,
After the military order was issued, the camp outside Beijing actually went out of the stronghold and formed a formation directly outside the city to face the Yan army.
In this scene, he deduced from the preconceived results. For example, Zhao Yuelin thought that it was Sima who gave the order. He thought that the Yan army would be exhausted after a long-distance attack, and Yingdu was not conducive to defense but would make himself tied up, so he simply defended the enemy outside.
But in fact,
It was because there was a command conflict between the center and the camp outside Beijing.
Ling Yin failed to see the regent, but the regent's imperial edict was issued.
In a nutshell:
Yingdu is the foundation of our great Chu ancestral temple, and we must defend it to the death.
In fact, at this time, the real senior people who stayed in Yingdu, like Zhao Yuelin, had a premonition that something was wrong.
Why did Yan Jun arrive at his home outside his capital city before he got the news?
Shouldn't,
impossible!
But the regent closed the palace door tightly and refused to leave.
What can the representatives headed by Ling Yin and other noble nobles stay in Beijing do?
Is it possible to gather one's troops to attack the palace first and see if one's regent is still there?
There will always be a majority of fools in the world, but fools who can sit above ten thousand people are really rare.
Therefore, Ying was able to guess a lot of people with clues, but when the Yan people came, they really came. There was no time to arrange things for them calmly, slowly and carefully, and slowly hold them accountable.
When the Yan army knight raised his saber,
It reflects a stunning luster under the sunlight.
This luster,
The grace and splendor that can cover everything on a noble body,
Cut beyond recognition!
Yan Jun,
Offensive!
.........
The Chu army was barely forming a formation relying on the city wall, but the city wall was a little far away.
As for the Yan army, it was a fact that they were short of men and horses because of their long journey to this point.
And even if a person can forcefully raise his energy and burn his blood to squeeze out his potential, a war horse cannot.
Therefore,
The Yan army did not choose to use safari to weaken its energy and then look for opportunities to divide it, as it had done in the past against the infantry phalanx, because the Yan army could no longer do these operations.
Fortunately, one is tired, but the other is panicked;
The two sides could barely call it a draw.
Next, it’s time to watch that wave.
King Jingnan personally charged forward, and the knights around him were divided into three parts, attacking the Chu army formation in front from the west and east respectively.
As soon as it comes up, it's drilling.
Either you poke holes in me, or I tear you into pieces;
Simple, direct, crisp and clear,
Go straight to the essence of war.
Li Fusheng once said that the requirements for winning a war are simple - strong troops and strong horses.
This is a bit absolute, but it really is the vast majority.
The first wave of impact happened.
then,
The Chu army collapsed.
It collapsed quickly,
It collapsed very suddenly,
here they come
They formed a formation,
They collapsed,
Like a performer rushing to the stage, he just comes to show his face, sings a few times to suit the scene, toasts the regular patrons with a drink, and then rushes to the next place impatiently.
It's like a bad-tempered oiran who comes out after asking for a long time, rolls his eyes at you, and then immediately returns to the room.
Meaning means, it's really just meaning.
And this meaning,
Even the Yan army was unexpected. The collapse of the Chu army actually started before the two sides came into contact. Facing the charge of the Yan army's cavalry and the momentum of this formation, the Chu army's front troops began to run back. When the army saw that the front army was running away, they immediately followed suit. The rear army was confused and thought that the front army had been defeated. At this time, you have to run even if you don't want to. If you want to kill the thief, you will be unable to recover. This is what we are talking about. Under the general situation, , cannot be stopped by one person or a small group of people.
The Yan army, which had always strictly controlled the speed of charging horses based on experience, had to readjust its established strategy at this time, such as braking suddenly. Then many Yan soldiers fell off their horses and were trampled by their own horses or were killed by the rear. Paoze's horses trampled him.
The Yan army's charge formation was obviously blocked because the Chu army fled too eagerly.
This situation should not actually happen to the Yan army, which is famous for its proficiency with bows and horses, and the Jingnan army is the most disciplined one among the Yan army.
But pig-like opponents often make you behave like pigs.
Since the Chu people had been defeated, there was no need to rush into the crowd. On the Yan army's side, the front army slowed down and the middle army and the rear army were unexpected, and everyone was blocked together.
Because according to the tradition of the Jingnan Army, the front army regards death as home, the middle army is responsible for following up and tearing open the opening, and the rear army is to further penetrate the enemy's formation.
On the whole, everyone is in a state where the front army has the fastest horse speed, the middle army continues to take over, and the rear army makes the final wave of recklessness. Then, chaos, chaos, everything is chaos.
However, fortunately, the chaos in the Yan army was only caused unexpectedly, and it was actually harmless, because your opponent was completely defeated.
King Jingnan’s eyes darkened slightly;
This is not the elite of the imperial army of Da Chu.
Among the other major countries, the Jin State did not count due to the early fall of imperial power. The Qian State and the Yan State were actually called the Central Army's Beijing Forbidden Army, but they were the most powerful force in terms of combat effectiveness.
The economy and life of the capital city are the best in the country. Under the intoxication, no matter how hard the saber is, it will rust;
But Chu State is different. Chu State's royal imperial army is the support of the Xiong family and the foundation for the royal family to dominate Chu.
If the nobles, big and small, are compared to a pack of wolves, then the Xiong family is the wolf king. The wolf king must ensure that he is strong enough to command the pack of wolves, so as not to be devoured by the pack of wolves.
The royal court of the desert barbarians is actually very similar to the Great Chu, except that the barbarians lack the affectionate cover-up of the Chu people.
Therefore,
Obviously,
This fleeing army,
They are by no means a serious imperial imperial army.
In terms of combat effectiveness and numbers, they are not up to par.
But despite this, Tian Wujing still ordered to chase and kill, and at the same time, seize the door.
The soldiers of Yan Army also forgot all their fatigue. Stimulated by the victory, they began to chase the fleeing Chu people more excitedly. At the same time, the soldiers and horses who were separated began to seize the door.
And the city gate of Yingdu is really easy to win.
Not counting the Star Observation Tower, there are many similar places. The city walls were supposed to be used as a means of military defense, but in the Chu people's case, they became completely artistic add-ons.
Don’t blame the Chu people for slacking off on city defense.
But because,
Even during the rebellion among the princes, there was actually no large-scale war here in the capital.
An imperial city that has never been attacked by foreign troops,
It's really heavily guarded and the defense system is rigorous.
That's what hell is.
and,
No matter what happens in the future,
At least for now,
At least at this time,
At least for now,
The great capital of Chu, Ying, has been recited by countless literati and poets.
All the colorful gauze skirts that symbolized beauty and romance were removed from her body,
Exposed in front of the barbarian Yan Di who didn't understand the style.
King Jingnan, who was riding Pixiu and standing outside the city in the center of the army,
At this moment, I suddenly remembered something Zheng Fan said unintentionally when he and Zheng Fan were standing together:
civilization,
will always be destroyed by barbarism.
Comparing Dayan to barbarism,
This is not disrespectful;
But a kind of pride.
Just like the roar that Shatuo Queshi, the king of Zuoguli in the barbarian royal court, shouted in front of the gate of Zhenbei Hou Mansion:
"I am a desert and a savage."
This is a powerful confidence.
A hundred years ago, when the Yan people faced the barbarian cavalry sharpening their swords, although they claimed that they were barbarians, the barbarians here represented a kind of strength and a kind of fear.
Barbarism that destroys civilization,
The savagery here symbolizes a kind of strength;
And the civilization destroyed by barbarism,
This kind of civilization
it,
ill.
Tian Wujing suddenly felt a little regretful,
He regretted that Zheng Fan was not with him now,
Under this situation,
If Zheng Fan also rides Pixiu beside him,
He should be able to say something interesting that he finds interesting.
or,
Even if he doesn't say anything,
Just stand here,
He also had the feeling that he was witnessing with another "self".
The capital of Jin State,
That dilapidated and declining royal capital,
It doesn't make any sense.
Quhe City, Litian City, Yingdu,
to be honest,
There is no real heavenly atmosphere.
And the great capital of Chu Ying, which has stood today under the influence of Sheji for 800 years,
It really has that kind of flavor.
Did you see it?
The capital of the great Chu Kingdom,
I beat it down.
after,
you can also.
.........
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp falling sound.
Meng Shou's chess skills were not as good as those of the regent.
In fact, Meng Shou's chess skills were very average.
It is extremely difficult for a person to be able to do one thing to the extreme in this life. It is really difficult to allocate too much energy to other aspects.
Anyone who is not a feather fan can play chess well;
Some people are busy writing articles, some are busy studying, and some are busy studying and governing the country. In short, they are very busy.
The Prince Regent had no intention of winning;
Just play for the sake of playing, place for the sake of placing, and continue for the sake of continuing the game.
Both sides actually have no concept of winning or losing.
"Are you curious, Your Majesty, how history books will record this day in the future?"
Meng Shou asked.
The Prince Regent did not answer, but picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
Meng Shou said again:
"Writing history is like being a human being. Historiographers say it nicely, saying that the history pen is like a knife, but in fact, what is sitting under your butt is still someone else's stool."
The Prince Regent put down his tea cup;
road;
"Do you know how the great Chu historians will write books in the next sixty years?"
Meng Shou asked:
"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."
The regent smiled slightly and said,
road;
"I dictated and he transcribed."
Meng Shou opened his mouth and said with a wry smile:
"That means you don't even have a stool to sit on."
The historian had to kneel down, listen to the dictation, and write down.
As the most accomplished historian since the Great Xia Dynasty, Meng Shou was naturally very sad about this result.
The regent gave birth to a son,
Road:
"Tell me, will your apprentice enter Yingdu?"
Meng Shou shook his head and dropped a piece,
Road:
"I only taught that disciple some civil affairs, martial arts and military affairs, but he had nothing to do with me at all. How could you guess that?"
"I think he will definitely go in."
"I feel that my disciple should know that Your Majesty has made arrangements. This is, please enter the urn."
The regent said:
"But he will still go in."
"The king is so sure, could it be that he has already said hello?" Meng Shou teased with a smile.
But even though he was smiling, the concern in his eyes could not be faked.
For most of his life as a historian, people have lived in history books, and he is too lazy to hide his true emotions.
The regent picked up a chess piece and
Road:
"Just like this chessboard, even if you and I don't say a word and just look at the chess moves, you can figure out what I want to do, and I can figure out what you want to do.
The chess pieces will continue to fall because..."
"Snapped."
The regent dropped the chess pieces on the chessboard,
Say the next four words:
"Everyone takes what they need."
