Chapter 907: The Magnificent Power of Han (Thirty-Two)

At the top of Jinyinfeng, Zhou Yu was alone, sitting cross-legged on a huge rock on the top of the mountain. From here, he could see not only the lights in the Masaping Canyon at the bottom of the mountain, but also the bright stars in the camp of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the distance. In the Masaping Canyon, the Wei people who were forcibly conquered by Lu Chao's army are building fortresses and parapets one after another in the ice and snow. The 1,500-meter-long canyon will soon turn into a military The fortress, coupled with the troops stationed on the two peaks, from Zhou Yu's point of view, it is impossible to break it without paying several times more casualties.

No matter how powerful the Eastern Conquest Army is, what can it do in the face of the elite Qin soldiers? Although the head-on confrontation between the two sides the day before yesterday ended with the victory of the Eastern Conquest Army, this kind of strategy of killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself by eight hundred, For the Qin State, it was just a minor injury, but for the Eastern Expedition Army, it was a serious injury. Zhou Yu believed that he knew the Eastern Expedition Army better than Lu Chao. They had strong fighting power and fought fiercely. Not afraid of death, but the number of troops is not large. It is said that there are as many as 200,000 troops, but they are scattered within a huge control area and do not form an overwhelming advantage here.

Moreover, Lu Chao was also an extremely wise general. When the field battle was unfavorable, he immediately retracted his defense. He wanted to use the natural fortress of Masaping Canyon to consume the troops of the Eastern Conquest Army.

The Qin people are not afraid of casualties, but the Eastern Army must be afraid.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu sighed and looked up at the flying Qin flag in his camp. What does the battle in front of him have to do with him? After the Quwo mutiny, Tan Feng led more than 10,000 Yan troops. The main force was transferred by Lu Chao to the front of the Wei and Zhao coalition forces, and he followed Lu Chao to Fengcheng with 5,000 troops, and then to Yesan Pass. Even these 5,000 troops were reduced to 708 by Lu Chao. Luo, there are only more than 3,000 troops under his command on the Jinyin Peak in front of him. In name, he is the commander-in-chief of the army, but in fact, the other 2,000 Qin soldiers will only obey the orders of their Qin army generals.

One can imagine Zhou Yu’s disappointment when he fell into the current situation as a high-ranking military officer. Do you regret it? Zhou Yu doesn’t think about this word. Everything is his own choice. In Quwo, there are only two ways. , Either, return to Jicheng with your tail in hand and let Gao Yuan handle it, the end will definitely not be much better. The second way is to live like this. Or one day, you can make a comeback, as Tan Feng said, for the time being. Take the sting and recharge your batteries to make a comeback.

It's not that he has no talent, but now, he has no place to show it. His wife and children have already arrived in Xianyang, right? Zhou Yu thinks of his wife and children, and his heart is full of sadness. There is no way out, and now he , homeless and countryless. The ambition that I once had has been blown away by the rain and wind, leaving only full of sad memories.

I heard that Taiwei Zhou Yuan returned to his old age and stayed with Dayan County of Zhengdong Prefecture. He spent all day fishing and hunting by Dayan Lake. His youngest granddaughter even promised to marry the eldest son of Gao Yuan, the governor of Zhengdong Prefecture. Gao Yuan's biggest enemy was now married to him. Gao Yuan shook hands and made peace, and Yan Shenghao became the deputy political councilor of the Zhengdong Mansion. The Sun family of Yuyang County fell, and the old troops also defected to Gao Yuan under the leadership of Zeng Xianyi. Xiong Ben became Gao Yuan's independent general and replaced him. Running Donghu, the Kong family, under the leadership of Kong Fang, has completely surrendered to Gao Yuan, and Ning Xin has become Gao Yuan's third wife. After thinking about it, Gao Yuan has turned Dayan over quietly. It was only a matter of time before all the wealthy and powerful families in the past were taken into possession and replaced Yan.

Zhou Yu shook his head. He had never thought that a small county captain in Fufeng County would turn the world upside down in a short period of time and make the continent tremble. The entire history would be rewritten because of him, and the Yan Kingdom that had been passed down for hundreds of years would be transformed. , will end here.

The Qin people brought Ji Ling to Xianyang not because they wanted to do anything for Ji Ling, but to lay the groundwork for attacking the Yan State in the future. Zhou Yu could think now that when the Qin people took over the Wei State, they would definitely use Ji Ling Ling used Ling as an excuse to launch a war against Yan. He might have been a vanguard at that time, but he had nothing to do with the restoration of the country.

There were no stars in the sky, but the whole mountain still looked very bright because of the snow. Zhou Yu stood up lonely, patted the snowflakes on his body, and walked towards the camp. Zhou Yu was dead in the past, but now, it’s just that Just a walking corpse.

In the early hours of the morning, Zhou Yu was awakened by the chaos in the camp. He was so frightened that he jumped up and rushed out of the tent. What he was most afraid of now was the commotion in the army. You must know that the one who is attacking here is the Zheng Army. The Eastern Army, and nominally speaking, the Eastern Army is a regular army affiliated with Dayan.

He rushed out of the camp and saw several generals walking towards him. They were all his confidants.

"What happened?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Lieutenant, the Eastern Expedition Army has arrived at the foot of the mountain." A general swallowed his saliva.

"So what?" Zhou Yu said calmly: "Didn't we teach them a lesson the day before yesterday? It's nothing more than that!"

Several generals looked at me and I looked at you. One of them said: "General, listen!"

Zhou Yu listened for a moment, and his face gradually turned livid. From the bottom of the mountain, a faint song could be heard. It was a folk song popular in the Yan Kingdom. It was very popular in the army, and most of the soldiers would sing a few lines.

"Let's go and take a look at the front!" Zhou Yu strode forward.

At the foot of the mountain, the familiar Yan song goes from low to high, from subtle to rolling torrent, and I don’t know how many people are singing at the same time. On the Jinyin Peak, torches are lit up, and soldiers stand out from hiding places one by one, with eyes in their eyes. Hot tears rolled down my face, and from nowhere, a low voice of response suddenly came.

"No singing, no singing!" Next to Zhou Yu, a deputy general jumped up, rushed to the other side, pushed away the soldiers in front, and rushed in. When he came out again, he was holding a young soldier in his hand. The soldier looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was picked up by the deputy general and dragged out horizontally and vertically.

"I want to go home, I miss my parents!" the soldier threw away his weapon and cried loudly.

"You should be beheaded if you disturb the morale of our army!" the deputy general roared angrily, pulled out the sword from his waist, raised it high, and beheaded him with one strike.

With a clang, a spear stretched out and blocked the lightning-like sword. The spear in the hand of an old-looking soldier firmly held the deputy general's steel knife.

"Want to rebel?" the deputy general roared.

"General, he is just a child who is homesick. The crime is not worthy of death!" the veteran said angrily.

"If you disturb the morale of our army, you will be beheaded!" the deputy general said solemnly: "Back off, or you will be beheaded in front of the formation as well."

The veteran stared at him fiercely. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, holding the spear tightly in his hand.

The deputy general looked at the other party with a ferocious smile, threw away the wailing young soldier in his hand, held the knife, and looked at the veteran. The veteran did not retreat, but a dozen soldiers behind him took a step at the same time. A dozen pairs of eyes, angry Staring at the lieutenant.

The lieutenant was taken aback and took a step back involuntarily, holding the handle of the knife tightly.

"Stop!" Zhou Yu strode forward, reached out and took the deputy general's hand, lifted it up, choked, and sheathed the knife for him.

"Brothers, I know you are homesick, but if we want to go home, we must first defeat those rebels. Our king has gone to the capital of Qin to ask for reinforcements. When the reinforcements requested by the king arrive, we can bring them Let's fight back home. When that time comes, you will be remembered in history as loyal and brave soldiers who will never abandon your Majesty. The enemies at the foot of the mountain just want to disturb our military morale and cause us to be in chaos without fighting. Please don't We fell into their trick, now everyone go back and have a good rest, the enemy will not attack today, so everyone can rest peacefully!"

After saying this, Zhou Yu turned around and strode back, while at the foot of the mountain, Yanqu was still singing non-stop.

"General, this is not the way to go!" the deputy general chased after him.

"What can be done?" Zhou Yu sighed, "If you killed that soldier today, I'm afraid it would trigger a mutiny on the spot. Now, we can only focus on appeasing him."

Returning to his tent, he undressed and lay on the bed. How could Zhou Yu sleep? The sound of Yan'an music outside kept singing endlessly. Zhou Yu knew very well that the military morale was probably gone.

It was daybreak, and the singing at the foot of the mountain finally stopped. The drums were rumbling outside, but Zhou Yu had no intention of going out. Today, the Eastern Expedition Army at the foot of the mountain would never attack the mountain. Their psychological offensive needs time to ferment. They are brewing and will never launch an attack at this moment to destroy the advantage they have just established.

However, Zhou Yu didn't lie down for long. There were louder sounds of commotion, exclamations, and screams from outside, followed closely by the sound of the collision of weapons. Zhou Yu sat up with a huff, almost I thought I heard it wrong, but the sound of clashing weapons and shouting became louder, not at the front of the position, but right in the center of their defensive area.

Zhou Yu was so frightened that he ran out of the tent. The scene in front of him made him stunned. At the foot of the mountain, his subordinates and the Qin army were actually fighting together.

"Stop, stop, what's going on?" he shouted loudly.

The deputy general ran over, "General Zhou, Qin General Gou Yi sent people to capture our soldiers who were singing Yan songs at the foot of the mountain, and beheaded them in front of the formation, which aroused our soldiers to mutiny. The two sides started fighting, and the situation was completely out of control. .”

Zhou Yu's eyes darkened for a while. Could the military morale that he had finally calmed down be destroyed so easily? His mouth was bitter as he saw more and more soldiers from both sides fighting together. There was already chaos on the mountain.

At the bottom of the mountain, they obviously noticed something strange on the mountain. Drums suddenly sounded, bugles sounded loudly, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army at the foot of the mountain had already launched an attack.

Zhou Yu pulled out his sword and rushed over, "Stop, don't fight, the enemy is coming! Prepare to defend, defend!"

He screamed at the top of his lungs, but at this time, both sides at the bottom of the mountain were already furious. Hundreds of soldiers had fallen on each other. Zhou Yu's shouts could still be heard there. When several Qin soldiers saw Zhou Yu, they actually waved their swords. Then he chopped at him.

The lieutenants and guards around Zhou Yu immediately counterattacked, cutting down these Qin troops three times, five times, five times and two times. However, like a stone hitting a thousand waves, more Qin troops rushed towards here.

Zhou Yu's heart was filled with despair, "Let's go back to the canyon, take the troops we can still control, and retreat down the mountain."

When the Zhengdong Army at the bottom of the mountain attacked up the mountain, the original Yan Army and Qin Army on the mountain were still fighting to the death. The soldiers of the Zhengdong Army were dumbfounded.

The Jinyinfeng, which Kong Fang failed to capture despite losing his troops, was easily captured by Ye Zhen with a Yanqu. Once the Jinyinfeng was lost, Masaping Canyon lost a powerful arm. (To be continued)
