Chapter 228 Another gamble
The news that the 20,000 soldiers from the four surnames in Wu County were slowly moving towards Jiankang had already spread throughout the city. Everyone knew that the troops from the four surnames were heading towards Yunfeng! What puzzled them was that this man was a good man.
He looked like a normal person. He did not rely on the superiority of the cavalry to attack proactively, nor did he feel defeated and flee.
He does nothing!
Is he arrogant? Or does he have something else to rely on?
Everyone is secretly trying to figure out his intentions.
Some people are worried and anxious about him, wishing to come to his door and give him some emotional persuasion. Some people are yelling at him, angry at him and lamenting his misfortune. There are also people who pray to immortals and Buddhas for him day and night, hoping that gods and Buddhas can bless him. These are all.
People from all classes except the gentry have received his favor and sincerely hope that he can defeat the allied forces of the four surnames in Wu County.
Of course, some people love it and some people hate it, and everyone loves it, but it’s a clown!
The Wujun nobles naturally sneered again and again. The more arrogant Yunfeng is, the happier they will be. Let’s see how many more days your mother can be proud! Although the nobles surnamed Qiao and the Sima family have a cold-looking attitude, they are actually anxious in their hearts. Damn it.
Why is the march so slow? It takes so long to walk three hundred miles? Did you crawl here? Do you dare to go slower?
Yunfeng has been staying in the mansion these days. He doesn't even dare to go to the academy. He has no choice. Three women are equivalent to five hundred ducks. How many ducks are equivalent to more than a thousand women in the academy?
He clearly remembered that when he went for a walk in the academy one day, all the promiscuous women who had no classes rushed up to him. It was conceivable what a scene it would be like with thousands of women chattering at the same time.
Every woman tried her best to express her concern and fear, and some even cried out in pain while hugging him and refused to let go! No one wanted him to lose, and they were all trying to persuade him to make preparations. If he was really unsure, he could just run away.
.Although they know that if Yunfeng really escapes, they will only have one way to return to their old profession. Some women are even ready to hang themselves! When you don’t have self-esteem, you don’t think self-esteem is important, but once you have it
Now, you will find that self-esteem is sometimes more important than life.
Yunfeng explained tirelessly and told them over and over again that victory was already within his grasp, which made the women feel a little relieved. In the end, he finally escaped and returned to the mansion. It took a long time, but his head was still buzzing.
, but this buzzing sound is full of the deep true feelings of prostitutes!
Who said that bitches are heartless and actors have no sense of justice? Yunfeng really wants to find the person who said this and tear his mouth open!
Since the war is approaching, everyone is talking about the fact that the uniforms for female teachers are set to be doctor's uniforms in the Five Classics and that Xi Xuan and other high-ranking ladies and gentlemen are opening handicraft workshops. These two pieces of news should have made a lot of noise, but now they have lost attention, which is not the case.
A lot of corresponding troubles are saved.
In everyone's expectation or uneasy mood, time has arrived on the tenth day of the first lunar month in Yongchang. In the early morning of this day, a chilling atmosphere gradually filled the bottom of Jiankang's Donglimen City!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Desolate and solemn horns sounded one after another near the northeast side, and groups of cavalry poured neatly and orderly into the city three miles due east. There were a total of 4,000 cavalry, divided into five teams, each with 800 cavalry.
Four teams walked side by side, all wearing black bright light armor. They were like a demon god. Behind them, there was a team of knights wearing green armor. They were wearing vine armor.
This arrangement is actually quite helpless. Yunfeng brought 500 female Rakshasa, 1,000 male bodyguards and 3,500 elite cavalry to the capital. Among them, 200 male bodyguards were brought into the city.
There are only 800 people on board. Although the remaining cavalry are integrated into the personal guards, there is still a certain gap in combat skills. Moreover, the biggest problem is running-in. Due to the rush of time, they cannot be mixed with the personal guards.
Able to form separate teams to fight the enemy.
Not long after, five teams of cavalry stopped where they were and stood ready. In the biting cold wind, except for the rustling of the flags and the occasional snort or two from the horses, there was no sound from the 4,000-man army.
It makes people feel a chill in their hearts.
Facing the cavalry formation, the dark mass of infantry was slowly approaching. The infantry formation was loose and roughly divided into four marching groups. The largest group was the central army, with a large flag with Ji characters fluttering in the wind. The remaining three groups were
The three armies of the left, front, and right had different numbers, and each carried the banners of Gu, Lu, and Zhou Zhou.
In the center of the Infantry Center, Ji Jian was riding a tall horse, surrounded by several generals of the Ji family and hundreds of guards.
Although Ji Jian was well versed in military literature, he had never been on the battlefield. Although he was skilled in bow and horse, he had only killed innocent people. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he was victorious in every battle and never lost a single defeat in his life! He was the young master of the Ji family. Who would fight with him?
Is he serious?
At this moment, he was staring closely at the cavalry team stationed in front of him. Everyone on the opposite side had cold faces and remained as motionless as sculptures. Their sharp eyes were focused together, like a giant sword piercing towards him.
Come on! The horses use cowhide protective gear to protect the three front parts of their head, neck and chest. From this, we can judge that the opponent will launch a frontal attack at any time.
Although Ji Jian showed no emotion on the surface, there was a storm in his heart, and the heroic spirit he had during the expedition was disappearing inch by inch!
"This is clearly a group of warriors who have fought hundreds of battles. What about our own side? They are all farmers. Can they win?" Ji Jian couldn't help but ask himself, even though the opponent only had four thousand cavalry and his own force was five times his, he still felt
It gave rise to timidity.
"Send the order, the whole army stops!" Ji Jian waved his hand and shouted: "The front, left and right armies set up defensive formations!"
The messengers ran back and forth in the formation, and 20,000 people stopped one after another five miles away from the cavalry. There was a commotion in the formation! Spear troops were deployed at the front, ranging from three to five rows, with the spear points pointing diagonally.
In mid-air, the angle ranges from 30 degrees to 60 degrees. Behind the spear army are archers, each carrying two arrow pots, and the crossbowmen are all concentrated in his center.
With a "Boom!", the inner side of the outer fence below the city head also started shaking!
"Damn it, the one who took the initiative to attack turned out to be a tortoise shell. How shameless?"
"We can rest assured. Those guys are scared. They are all eggless guys. General Yun will win!"
"Everyone shout together, General Yun will win!"
Wave after wave of shouts went straight to Yunxiao, and tens of thousands of people lined up three rows outside and three rows outside Dongli Gate and inside Guo Li shouted in unison. They all came to watch the battle, even though they knew that this move was very dangerous.
However, there is concern in my heart, and I will never be at ease until I witness it with my own eyes.
The sound spread to the top of the city, and the faces of the four family heads of Wu County became uglier than the last.
Gu He snorted: "These untouchables, let them be proud for a while. When my four-surname coalition wins this battle, let's see how I can clean them up one by one!" As he said this, he turned to the people who were also on the top of the city with hatred.
Yunfeng glared!
Lu Ye took it and said disdainfully: "The untouchables don't know anything! Our army is infantry. If we don't set up a defensive formation, how can we still attack the cavalry?"
Ji Zhan's old face showed a solemn look. After all, he had defeated Chen Min and rejected Shi Le, and had some battle experience. The difference between the two armies in terms of military appearance and discipline was indeed incomparable.
At this time, the top of the city was already crowded with people. Even so, there were still people pushing upwards. Almost all the important officials of the court had arrived. For them, the best result was that Yunfeng University
After the defeat, the four surnames of Wujun were also severely weakened. Others were their relatives and friends who came to cheer them up.
When everyone at the top of the city heard the dissatisfied voices from the four surnames of Wu County, they all looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a very strange feeling in their hearts. The two armies were facing each other at the top of the city. The battle was about to break out, and the leaders of both sides at the top of the city were
But standing together and watching the battle at the same time is absolutely unprecedented, and it is very likely that it will never happen again.
Some people have even developed a sense of unreality out of thin air. Is this an open war or a routine stunt?
At this time, an arrogant voice came from the crowd: "Gu Chun, do you have the guts to bet with me, Yuan Yandao, again?"
Everyone turned around and saw Yuan Dan stepping onto the battlement, with his hands on his hips, looking majestically at the group of Wujun nobles.
Gu Chun had an angry look on his face and looked at each other without any sign of weakness. Then he snorted coldly and turned his face to the side as if he was relieved.
"Hahahaha!" Yuan Dan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, pointing at Gu Chun who was out of breath and said: "The eldest husband of the Gu family, you have no money? Oh, I, Yuan Yandao, almost forgot, you just lost a thousand gold a while ago.
Later, I bought jewelry worth more than 5,000 gold from the general. How does it feel to spend a lot of money? If you are poor, can you afford to gamble with one million iron coins?"
From that day on, Gu Chun was nicknamed "Qiong Bi" in private, just like Sima Shao was called "Yellow Bearded Xianbei Slave".
This "poor comparison" pierced deep into the hearts of every member of the Wu family present, especially if they asked if they could afford to gamble with one million iron coins, which made them all feel ashamed and angry. Of course, the most embarrassing thing was
Gu Chun, his face turned the color of pig liver, and his lips were trembling but speechless. The Gu family had lost their fortune twice in a row, so they really had no money left.
Zhou Song, the patriarch of the Zhou clan, blew his beard angrily and said angrily: "Yuan Dan, don't be so arrogant, say! What kind of bet is this? I will accept it on behalf of my nephew!"
Yuan Dan waved his hands calmly: "Don't be angry, Zhou Zhongcheng. I, Yuan Yandao, have a relationship with General Mo Ni, so I bet on the general to win. According to the rules of the gambling industry, you should decide the bet. Zhou Zhongcheng, please speak up."
Zhou Song was about to speak, but Gu He stopped him and said: "Zhong Zhi's righteous deeds, He is very grateful, but this person has a despicable character, and he takes advantage of others' power to attack me, the Gu family, and add insult to injury. He can't back down! There is another risk in a bet with him.
How about it? The fight hasn’t started yet, let’s see who can have the last laugh!”
Zhou Song hesitated and said: "You, Mr. Gu...?" Although he said half of the words, the underlying meaning was clearly that he was worried that he would have no money to gamble.
Gu He cupped his hands and said, "Zhongzhi, there is no need to worry. Although I, the Gu family, have lost money one after another, I can still afford my small gambling capital." Then, he looked at Yuan Dan and said coldly: "I won't deceive you either.
I won a thousand gold pieces from me a few days ago, how about betting on a thousand gold pieces now?"
Yuan Dan won half a thousand gold with Yun Feng, and only got 500 gold. How could he have a thousand gold to bet? He couldn't help but turn his attention to Yun Feng for help. (To be continued...)
