Chapter 416: The first day of battle!

Later, it turned out that Zhao Hongrun's "worst estimate" might not be necessary, because the tribe leaders found the "Zhi" tribe and "Yanjiao" flags that they were looking for at one end of the west hillside.

It is very far away from the Jiejiao army, and there are not many tribal warriors near the battle flag, only about hundreds of people.

It seemed as if they were just spectators and did not intend to intervene in the war between the Wei army and Jiejiao.

This made Zhao Hongrun secretly relieved, and also vaguely speculate on the intentions of these two groups of "spectators".

Obviously, as the "Yanjiao" of the Wuxu Royal Court Guard, and the three major Jie tribes, no, one of the four major tribes, they mostly heard of this war, so they sent people to wait and see the outcome of this war.

『Test the strength of our Great Wei army?』

Zhao Hongrun stared at the two groups of spectators in the distance and snorted coldly in his heart.

The Jie people's reputation for Wei State made Zhao Hongrun have a very bad impression of the "Yi" tribe. However, Zhao Hongrun did not want each other to become enemies, because once he became enemies with the "Yuan Wangting", the consequences would be unimaginable. Even the "Luo Shui Alliance" he had created might appear in a tribe that turned against him in front of the formation.

At this time, the Jiejiao army had already set up troops in the west of Luocheng. It is not difficult to guess that this is a sign that the Jiejiao army attempted to attack Luocheng. So, the police horns had already sounded in Luocheng, and a large number of Shangshui troops stepped onto the city wall to increase their defenses.

"Jiejiao's army seems to be planning to attack the city... King Rong asked again. The patriarchs' wishes should not have changed because of the two unexpected "guests" outside the city?"

Zhao Hongrun did not look back and asked calmly.

The clan leaders looked at each other, and of course they could understand the "respecting guest" in Zhao Hongrun's words, referring to the soldiers of the "Yanjiao" tribe of the Jie tribe and the "Yanjiao" guards of the "Yanjiao" of the Royal Court.

"Don't worry, King Su." Halegohe, the leader of the Aries tribe, stood up and said: "Swear to the sky, blood is an alliance. It is the most sacred covenant of my tribes, Jie and Wei. Since we have formed an alliance with Wei under the witness of the gods, we will not betray it... We will fight with King Su! The army of Jiejiao!"

"Blood is the alliance... Does the Sanchuan tribe attach so much importance to it?"

Zhao Hongrun was quite surprised. After pondering for a moment, he tentatively said: "What if the 'Ying' tribe assisted the Jiejiao tribe?"

"We will still support King Su!" Hallegoh said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun paused and asked in a heavy tone: "What if Yanjiao also assisted the Jiejiao tribe?"

"This..." Halegohe hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "I dare not deceive King Su. If that happens, we will be in a difficult situation."

"But, no matter what, we will not betray King Su." Qi Muke, the leader of the Gray Sheep Tribe, promised.

However, the patriarchs of the Lun tribe and the Meng tribe, Lubalon and Meng Liang, said in a deep voice: "The people of the Hu tribe will follow King Su."

Hearing this, the other tribe leaders of the Clan tribe were stunned and also spoke to prove their loyalty.

This scene changed the faces of the tribe leaders of the Yi tribe slightly.

Zhao Hongrun was also a little surprised and surprised. He wanted to verify the determination of the tribe leaders, but unexpectedly captured a message: The prestige of the Wuxu royal court among the people of the Clan is much smaller than that of the Clan tribe.

"By the way, the people of the Clan were slaves of the Clan and the Jie people hundreds of years ago... Therefore, they always had a grudge against the royal court of the Clan."

"Very good." Zhao Hongrun nodded.

Hearing this, Halegohe, the patriarch of the Aries tribe, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the tribe leaders of the tribes.

He realized that in the heart of His Highness Su, the status of these patriarchs, was probably about to change.

Because the Jiejiao army was still deploying the siege, Zhao Hongrun and the clan leaders returned to the felt tent that acted as the commander's tent, and made some modifications to the garrison of Luocheng based on the deployment of the Jie tribe outside the city.

First of all, because the Jiejiao army seemed to plan to attack the West City Wall, Zhao Hongrun added 4,000 again on the basis of the original "resettlement of 4,000 Shangshu Army in the West City Wall", as a reserve army, ready to rotate with the soldiers on the city wall at any time.

As the main battlefield, the West City Wall was the commander of Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Navy.

Secondly, the north wall and the south wall.

At this time, a small force of Jie people stationed outside in the northern and southern suburbs of Luocheng. Moreover, the small force of Jie people on the south side may have temporarily defeated Chenggao Army. Zhao Hongrun estimated that the number of troops would definitely not be small.

Therefore, even though the Jiejiao army did not show any signs of attacking the north and south walls, Zhao Hongrun still deployed a Shangshui army of two thousand and three thousand people on these two walls.

Among them, the southern city wall was Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shang Shui Army, and the northern city wall was a 3,000 general named "Lu Zhan" of the Shang Shui Army.

Finally, there was the East City Wall. Since there were no signs of Jiejiao army appearing outside the eastern suburbs outside the city, Zhao Hongrun only sent two thousand people named "Chen Shu" to serve as the guard.

In addition, Zhao Hongrun deployed most of the generals in the Shang navy on the West City Wall, led by Wu Ji. After all, the West City Wall is the main battlefield.

However, such deployment greatly weakened the command power of the other three city walls. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Hongrun planned to let these tribe leaders make up for it.

"Mengliang, Lubalong, I hope that the two patriarchs can lead some soldiers to assist the Shangshui generals on the South City Wall and the North City Wall. I wonder what the two patriarchs mean? "

"South and North City Wall? Didn't the Jiejiao army attack the West City Wall?"

Meng Liang and Lu Balong looked at each other, but did not dare to disobey the King Su in front of him, and saluted and said, "I wish to fight for King Su!"

After that, Zhao Hongrun deployed several tribes on the East City Wall, and the vast majority of tribes on the West City Wall.

"His Royal Highness Su, is he deliberately weakening the tribes of the Yaqi tribe and retaining those tribes of the Yaqi tribes?"

From the side, Qiu Yu, the censor who served as the military supervisor, vaguely saw some clues from Zhao Hongrun's combat deployment.

In fact, Halegoh, the leader of the Aries tribe, also noticed it, but he knew the causes and consequences very well, did not dare to explain this matter. Instead, he pretended to take the lead and responded happily, hoping to resolve the grudges in the heart of the King Su in front of him.

After making such a deployment, Zhao Hongrun actually retained a total of 5,000 Shangshui Army.

Zhao Hongrun did not intend to use these five thousand troops for the time being, because he still did not believe in all these tribes that were allied with him. Although blood-making alliances are a tradition that the people of Sanchuan have always followed, after all, what if there is any tribe that really betrayed?

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun had to reserve five thousand soldiers to wait to deal with the betrayer.

Even if it was proven later that he was worried, it would not be a bad thing to reserve five thousand sufficient physical soldiers of the Shangshui Army to deal with emergencies.

Just when Zhao Hongrun made the final adjustment before the war in response to the deployment a few days ago, a soldier from Shangshui Army hurried to the felt tent, kowtowed to the ground and fisted, saying, "Report to King Su, I will ask King Su for instructions from General Wu Ji... Just now, the leader of the Jiejiao Army outside the city, the clan leader of the Jiejiao tribe shouted under the city, saying that he wanted to speak to the commander of our army with the highest status..."

"Bitatu?"

"Have Bitatu arrived?"

The tribe leaders couldn't help but whisper.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun, who had been interrupted by the deployment of troops, looked speechlessly at the Shangshui Army soldier who came to summon the message.

"Wu Ji, is he too honest? The Jiejiao people said they wanted to talk to me, but he actually sent someone to ask for instructions? Please, that's the enemy! Besides, according to Bitatu's arrogant nature, this time the troops came to the city must have come to show their power. Isn't this self-indulgent to see him?"

Zhao Hongrun felt speechless.

The soldiers of Shangshui Army who came to send a message were also a strange man. They even asked, "Your Highness Su, are you going to meet the leader of Jiejiao?"

Zhao Hongrun stared at the messenger speechlessly for a while, and then said angrily: "Call him to die!"

The messenger scratched his head, returned to Wu Ji, and repeated Zhao Hongrun's original words to the latter.

Blinking blankly, Wu Ji thought for a while before he realized that the "he" in the mouth of His Highness Su, referring to Bitatu who was shouting outside the city, not Wu Ji.

At this time, in the western suburbs outside Luocheng City, as Zhao Hongrun guessed, Bitatu, the patriarch of the Jiejiao tribe, was standing in front of the army with a proud look on his face, waiting to meet with the "Supreme Commander of the Wei people" in Luocheng.

After all, he had learned that the "supreme commander" of the Wei army that marched into Sanchuan this time was exactly the King Su of Wei, Ji Run, who had "shamed" to lead his army to siege the Tajiejiao tribe when he was in Heshou.

It is precisely because of this that Bitatu intends to chat with Zhao Hongrun before the war to destroy the majesty of this "arrogant boy".

But after waiting for a while, he didn't see Zhao Hongrun climbing the city tower to meet him. He was a little irritated, so he shouted again: "Why haven't the Wei general on the city seen your army commander yet?...Where is that boy who calls himself King Su? Don't you dare to come to see the leader of this clan?"

Wu Ji could hear it clearly on the city wall. Hearing this, he hugged his arms and replied lightly: "Go to die! This is the original words of His Highness, King Su of our army... King Su, I don't want to see you!"

"..." Bitatu, who was trying to slap Zhao Hongrun's sharpness, turned pale when he heard this, snorted heavily, then plucked his horse back to the formation, then raised his hand and pointed at Luocheng in the distance, and roared like a roar: "Strike the city for me!"

"Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-"

Three low horn flutes sounded from Jiejiao, and then, the slave army all over the mountains and fields rushed towards Luocheng with inferior weapons under the threat of Jiejiao Governor.

The dense heads seemed to be like a black tide, surging towards Luocheng.

The slaves did not notice that the western suburbs outside Luocheng were filled with puddles, filled with a black and viscous liquid.
