If I had known...

"Kill!!!" Xie Yuan gave the order, and the archers hiding on the city wall suddenly appeared and fired at the Wei army below the city!

Suddenly, arrows rained down like rain, and the unsuspecting Wei army stood in neat rows under the city, suddenly becoming a dense target.

"Retreat!! Retreat quickly!!!" Shi Yuhengjia was so frightened that he turned his horse's head and ran away, giving orders as he ran.

Only then did Xie Yuan have the opportunity to see clearly that the general leading the troops was Shi Yu Hengjia. No wonder the voice sounded familiar to him just now!

She was so excited that she gritted her teeth and drew the bow before shooting, aiming at Shi Yu Hengjia's body like a volley of arrows.

It's a pity that her archery skills are accurate, but her strength is weak. One arrow was blocked by his sword, and two arrows were blocked by the shining silver iron armor on his body. When she nocked the bow again, that guy was very fast.

The horse has run far away.

Xie Yuan was so angry that he punched the wall, but he had no choice but to yell at his back in desperation: "Shi Yu Hengjia!! You..."

I didn't curse the word "mother". It was because my memory of being educated by my father Xie when I was a child was too deep.

Although she had been exposed to a bunch of unscrupulous "rough people" in the military camp for a long time, she was used to hearing all kinds of swear words, and she had long been familiar with them in her heart, but she still couldn't spit them out.

Shi Yu Hengjia heard Xie Yuan's voice that was very familiar. He couldn't help but turn around and look over from a distance. He saw a young man wearing a Wei army uniform standing on the city wall and waving his hands to the subordinates rushing out from under the city gate.

Next shouted:

"Come back! Close the city gate!"

Shi Yuhengjia was stunned. He felt that this person looked familiar. A white light flashed in his mind, and he felt like he was about to remember him.

At this moment, Shi Yu Hengjia's subordinates finally reorganized their formation after losing two to three hundred men, and were out of the advantage of the shooting range under the city gate.

The soldier asked: "General! What should we do? This city has been lost a long time ago. We didn't bring a trebuchet or a ladder! Are we still going to fight?"

"Hit me!" Shi Yuhengjia's usually relaxed tone was now so irritable that he almost skipped a beat and said:

"go back!"

"General... our mission is right here. Why not surround this city first, borrow siege equipment from the nearby city to take it down, and then go back in despair, I'm afraid we will be laughed at." the soldier reminded.

he.

Shi Yu Hengjia was so angry that he laughed and said: "Use your brain! They saw that you have ten thousand people, but they chose to disguise themselves as your companions and ambush you, and opened the door to let you in. What does this mean?!"

His soldier thought for a moment and shook his head honestly.

Shi Yuhengjia was so angry that he even raised his foot on his horse and kicked him, saying angrily:

"It means he has more people than you! He is confident that he can kill 10,000 people. So where did these tens of thousands more Song troops come from? Did they fall from the sky?!"

His soldier received a kick from Shi Yu Hengjia on the thigh. He lowered his head dejectedly and did not dare to say a word again.

Shi Yuhengjia was so angry that he raised his leg and wanted to kick him again, but because of the kick in front, the two horses were farther away.

The tip of his raised toe only scratched it, not kicked it. He was so angry that he raised his toe and waved it, and kept saying:

"It means they have reinforcements arriving! ...Look where we are?! Behind us is the town of Ren County occupied by the Song Army, and you still besieged the city! After a while of siege, he was surrounded by people from both sides and was surrounded like a fool!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." the soldiers responded repeatedly.

"Commander! Send my order to the general to retreat back to the Chinese camp at full speed!"

"yes!"

…

Morale on the battlefield is a very mysterious thing. It will suddenly make one side feel like a god is helping it, with overwhelming momentum and smooth sailing. It can win no matter how hard it fights.

The long-lost morale of the Song army was given by Xie Yuan.

Originally, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was arguing with his generals and ministers, trying to get reinforcements here and there. One said that I didn't have enough manpower, and the other said that my geographical location was important and it would be dangerous to divert manpower to the overall situation.

But when Xie Yuan, with very few men, captured a city overnight and "repelled" Shi Yu Hengjia's 10,000 elite troops one after another, those in the Song State were originally unwilling to send reinforcements for various reasons.

All of a sudden, it was as if they had been given chicken blood. They ran to join the fighting group without the emperor's order.

Because Xie Yuan had the main road in his hands, as soon as the Song army's reinforcements arrived, they marched straight in and joined the melee in the middle of a million-strong army.

In a chess game like this where each other is surrounded by a circle, whoever lands the last encircling piece first will win.

However, the Wei army deployed a grand encirclement, but because of Xie Yuan's variable, they were two men behind. Instead, the Song army encircled them first, causing heavy losses...

Wei State Pingcheng Palace

Shen Liuzhen and Ulei were sitting at opposite ends of the chessboard. The black and white pieces on the chessboard were evenly matched, and they had reached a critical moment.

And Shen Liuzhen held Bai Zi in his hand, tugged on his wide sleeve, crossed half of his body, and reached in front of Ulei's eyes. He hesitated for a long time as if he wanted to let go but didn't dare.

Ulei looked at his hand holding the piece and wandering in that spot, and he could naturally tell that he would lose if he dropped the piece.

But seeing Shen Liuzhen mulling over him again, he became even more angry. He raised his lids with his deep eyes, revealing half of the whites, and stared at Shen Liuzhen and said:

"If you want to do it, do it quickly. Are you kidding me?!"

Shen Liuzhen seemed to be frightened. He trembled with fright, then he retracted his hand, smiled shyly at Ulei, with two super shameless dimples on his face, and said apologetically:

"Then... you're welcome, Wei Chen." Then he landed the white piece firmly where it was going to land, closed the circle, and cut off the long string of black pieces that were barely formed.

When Ulei saw Shen Liuzhen's calm demeanor and his long and delicate fingers lifting his black stones from the chessboard one by one, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said with resentment:

"I think you just made me angry on purpose!"

Shen Liuzhen looked innocent. He threw the black pieces in his hand into the basket and asked, "Why did your Majesty say this?"

Ulei saw that he really didn't mean it, so he lowered his eyes, sighed and said:

"The defeat on the front line was all due to the elites of our great Wei Dynasty. I regret that I have ended up in this situation. I should have known..." What he said later was silent, but the meaning was obvious.

If he had known earlier, he should not have planned to kill Prince Mu He, the elder of the clan. In contrast, Wei's victory was naturally more important than the political struggle. It was because he did not know the priorities and delayed the important event.

Shen Liuzhen did not raise his eyes, but continued the conversation and said: "If I had known better, I should have arrested Prince Mu He first and prevented him from leading troops privately. Then, after discussion in the court, we would have selected a new marshal. I would have definitely won long ago."

When Ulei heard this, he raised his hand and lightly rubbed his nose with his fingertips, feeling guilty, and said after a while:

"Forget it, the matter has come to an end, and there is no point in worrying about it. Just pursue it however you want. It's time for the generals to go to Beijing to report on their duties today. Let's listen to what they have to say."
