Chapter 442
Two armies lined up to greet each other, but there was no movement for a long time! In front of the two armies, there was only the sound of wind blowing from time to time and the whistling sound of flags flying.
Chen Kefu sat on Sa Zilu, holding a telescope in his hand, and could clearly see Xue Shixiong's thin face and his thin body immediately as if he could be thrown away by the wind. He was a little surprised, why are there five uncles and nephews in the Xue family, all of whom are as tall as heavyweight boxers? Why is the head of the Xue family Xue Shixiong so thin? With his body like this, how did he not die as a small officer in the northern border as a small army, but also become the famous Eight Tiger Generals of the Northern Frontier step by step?
But at this time, he had already understood something. He rushed to Xue Shixiong's camp with 50,000 people. If it were an ordinary general, he would have been unable to resist attacking him at this time. However, Xue Shixiong did not do this at all. Instead, he lined up to meet the enemy, but stood still.
This is a kind of ability for the coach, calm and calm, and not easy to attack for a temporary youhuo.
In fact, since Chen Kefu dared to run to the 150,000 formation with 50,000 people, he also had his trump card. If Xue Shixiong really attacked him, he would not be too worried. The 50,000 Liaodong Army was not a vegetarian, not to mention that there were a large number of engineers in his formation, carrying and manipulating a large number of equipment. Such field battles would also play a huge role.
The most important thing is that Chen Kefu had already transferred 100,000 troops from Lu Shishen and Mao Yi to come.
He left the city early in the morning, but he had been moving slowly in a short distance of twenty miles.
In doing so, one is waiting for the arrival of two armies. The two armies are not far away from here, both of which are two or three hours away. Just in case, Chen Kefu has been delaying time.
But he left the city early in order to allow Xue Shixiong's troops to come out of the battle, consuming their physical strength and patience. His slow march also had another purpose, which was to watch Xue Shixiong's reaction. If Xue Shixiong came to meet the enemy as soon as he saw him leaving the city, Chen Kefu would definitely retreat to the city.
It was because Xue Shixiong remained unmoved that Chen Kefu finally came to the Sui army camp.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, he had received a report from the Ma Lai that Lu Shishen and Mao Yi had arrived. Now two large armies were hiding in a secret place ten miles away from the Sui army.
If Xue Shixiong dared to attack the Liaodong Army, Chen Kefu was very welcome. Fifty thousand troops were not so easy to eat. Moreover, as long as the Hebei Army attacked the Liaodong Army, Chen Kefu believed that the Sui Army would definitely be a little careless. And even if they were not careless, Chen Kefu had a way to make the formation of the Hebei Army flaw. At that time, as long as the 100,000 troops ambushed on both wings at the critical moment, the Hebei Army would fall into the siege of the Liaodong Army.
Although this would make the Liaodong army defeat the Hebei army, the battle of 300,000 people would definitely be quite tragic. Moreover, the Hebei soldiers have always been strong, Xue Shixiong is also a famous general. Even if he wins in the end, he will probably have to be responsible for the huge sacrifice. Therefore, Chen Kefu was not willing to have such a situation in his heart. Everything depends on Xue Shixiong's choice.
"Didn't the prince want to announce the edict of His Majesty to the soldiers of Hebei? Why didn't it start yet?" Xue Wanche looked at Chen Kefu's observation and waiting for something, and was also worried. Just now, he came to report to the Liaodong general Lu Shishen, and Mao Yi led an army of 50,000 to ambush the left and right wings of the Hebei army, and they already knew Chen Kefu's intention.
Li Jing, who was standing beside him, also said, "Master, kill three thousand enemies and lose 800 of them. The war is ruthless. If you can not fight, you will not fight. Only by defeating others' troops without fighting will it be the best strategy."
Chen Kefu sighed in his heart, not knowing whether he was relaxed and happy or faintly disappointed.
Nodding, Chen Kefu said, "Transfer to me, Mao Yi, and Lu Shishen, the army came." Since the fight could not be completed, Chen Kefu planned to write a message. Li Jing was right. If he could defeat others without fighting, the best strategy would be.
The two commanders rode their horses to the left and right, bringing up a burst of smoke and dust. Xue Shixiong, who was in the Hebei military formation, also had some clarity.
After waiting for about half an hour, I saw smoke and dust rising from both sides of the north and south at the same time, and the sound of hooves rumbled.
In the smoke and dust, countless flags appeared and countless figures were visible. Soon, several Liaodong cavalry with black armor appeared. With wind and thunder, the first cavalry on both sides rushed to a place only two or three miles away from the Hebei army before barely stopping. Behind them, more soldiers and horses arrived.
Many soldiers in the Hebei military formation were already exclaiming. Some even sighed. If they had attacked the 50,000 rebels who had left the city at the beginning, maybe when these rebels arrived, they would have already wiped out the rebels from Luhe City. Maybe, now the rebel leader Chen Kefu is already his captive.
Only Xue Shixiong has been silent and has been fighting for many years. Now he still can't understand the situation in front of him. Seeing the two men arrive almost at the same time, he can guess.
This must be the rebels of the Liaoxi camp, the vanguard of Linhaidun and Liucheng. He also understood that these two men must have been here for a long time, but they had been hiding aside. They probably wanted to wait for them to attack the Luhe rebels and take the opportunity to attack the Hebei army when they took the opportunity to attack the Luhe rebels and attack the Hebei army.
As the commander of the first army, Xue Shixiong certainly understood that during the war, the army could not always maintain a complete formation. During the battle, there would be countless flaws. If the main rebel army appeared at that time, then this would be a fatal blow. When he thought that Chen Kefu was so cruel, he not only regarded the 50,000 army as his own, but also dared to be in the army personally. This courage and ruthlessness could not help but move him. Many people could do it to others, even if it was just a ranger.
Scoundrels are good at it. But they are also cruel to themselves, but few people do it.
Teams of people arrived, and not long after, all 150,000 Liaodong troops finally arrived.
To the south is Lu Shishen's 50,000 army, to the north is Mao Yi's 50,000 army, and to the east is Chen Kefu's 50,000 army. The three groups of troops have become surrounded on three sides, surrounding Xue Shixiong's 145,000 people.
There are 300,000 troops, this is a huge number. On the plains in western Liaoning, there are endless oceans of flags and long forests of spears.
Seeing that the army had arrived, Chen Kefu turned to the five uncles and nephews of the Xue family behind and said, "I have long admired the charm of General Xue. Now I have a fate to meet him. I am really lucky to have three lives. General Xue, General Xue, I still need you to accompany me to introduce you to me."
Xue Dingguo looked at Chen Kefu's appearance and was no longer going to be angry, so he felt relieved. He hurriedly responded, "My elder brother often praises General Chen for his extraordinary courage, and often lamented that he had not been able to meet and talk freely. Now that he has this opportunity, he must be extremely happy." The military formation broke through a passage, and Chen Kefu took the lead. Li Jing, Guo Xiaoke, Luo Lin, Yuchi brothers, Shubao, Yao Jin, Shixin and other generals followed him one after another. The five uncles and nephews of the Xue family also rode their horses out in front of the two armies!
Xue Shixiong on the other side saw Chen Kefu and others coming out of the battle, and led his generals and officers to slap their horses out of the battle, and all of them were in the formation of the two armies.
Xue Shixiong looked at his son, cousin and rebel generals who were intimate and natural, as if he had become a family, with a calm expression on his face. He immediately stepped forward and said to his four sons and cousins, "Wan Shu, Wan Shu, Wan Jun, Wan Che, Dingguo, do you still have the face to see me? Although my general from the Xue family is not the most brave general on the battlefield, he also understands what the word "loyalty and righteousness is."
Your five people were defeated and captured. This is not your fault, but it is the least necessary to commit yourself to a thief. If you still regard yourself as a member of the Xue family, as the head of the Xue family, I will give you another chance.
Let out your sword, or slap your horse over and I will wait to decide my life and death, or you commit suicide, and I can still keep tablets for you in the ancestral hall."
The uncle and nephew of the Xue family all changed drastically. Even Chen Kefu did not expect that the thin Xue Shixiong would be so strict. After his younger brother and son were captured, he would actually let them commit suicide and refused to let them surrender.
Although Xue Dingguo was the most lawless in the past, he was actually the most afraid of this brother. At this time, his face turned red with anxiety and said loudly, "Brother, you misunderstood Lou, we did not surrender." Xue Shixiong said coldly, "You fell into the hands of the rebels, but now the rebels did not kill you, but let you follow the army. The armor is shiny. Do you dare to say that you did not surrender? Now that you are in front of the formation, do you still want to persuade me to surrender the rebels like you?"
Chen Kefu suddenly felt a lot of favor for this somewhat old-fashioned and stern old man.
The slap forward a few steps and said loudly, "Master Xue, you and I are the commander of the same army. Just know, before you understand the situation in detail, you make arbitrarily judgments. It is not done by the wise. Now, Xue Shuai is not aware of the matter in front of you, but he is so reckless. I am afraid that it will damage Xue Shuai's reputation?" Xue Shixiong looked at Chen Kefu coldly and said calmly, "Chen Pojun, you can transfer 100,000 troops and horses without you knowing it, hiding it on the side. I am also deeply impressed, but if you want me to surrender, don't be rude.
