Chapter 178: Friend or Foe Is Hard to Distinguish
On the frontal battlefield of the Zhenbei Army and the Grassland Army, the great war between the two sides is in full swing, and the Xiongnu Grassland is a unit of 10,000 people, regardless of the main and secondary battles, showing strong combat effectiveness at the beginning, and there is an absolute superiority in numbers, hoping to form an encirclement of the Zhenbei Army in the shortest possible time.
The Zhenbei Army is in an orderly manner, and the middle of the army is the strongest combat force, with the vanguard on the left and right sides, escorting the main force, and the offensive momentum is not so fierce, but the victory lies in the clear division of labor.
At present, the encirclement of the grassland army has formed half, and the entire army has formed a huge arc centered on Zhang Yuan's 50,000 private army.
The victory and defeat in five or five points, if the encirclement is formed, the Zhenbei army did not break through the blockade, most of them were encircled and suppressed to death, with the habit of fighting in the grassland, 100,000 people did not leave a piece of armor, most of them were to be beheaded to show the public, the northern gate of the Northern Wei Dynasty was exposed to the grassland iron horse, and the Central Plains were in danger. Correspondingly, if the Zhenbei Army breaks through the grassland defense line and wins that glimmer of life, it can directly defeat the grassland army, and it is more likely to join the defenders of Wuchuan Town, plus the 10,000 bows and crossbows in the city, they can drive straight in, and take advantage of the results of the battle of Guliangzhou to come to Shengjing City in one fell swoop.
Since ancient times, the battle between the grassland and the Central Plains is regarded as a war between wolves and tigers, when the tiger in the Central Plains is sleepy and sick, the steppe wolves often go south, and when the steppe wolves disperse, the Central Plains tigers will also go north, but no one has completely eliminated the other party, until the last few decades, the book of the Bank of China led the carriage and horses to move north, a large number of Central Plains craftsmen entered the grassland, on the surface it seems to be a game of chess for the grassland to absorb the Central Plains culture, laying the foundation for him to ride south, in fact, within the Northern Wei court, there is another plan, Zhongtang Lord Wu Changhe and the general of the Zhenbei Army Song Junyi are happy to see it, it is not difficult to conquer the grassland by force, but even if the grassland is penetratedHowever, when a large number of Central Plains people entered the grassland, assimilation began, as evidenced by the dark city erected in the depths of the grassland. Otherwise, with the blockade ability of the Zhenbei Army, it would be impossible to let the Central Plains craftsmen go north into the grassland.
From the perspective of the world, the northward migration of chariots and horses seems chaotic and random, but in fact it is a conscious and planned migration movement, which connects many seemingly unrelated people and things, first of all, the blood feud between Zhongxingshu and the ancestors, Zhongxingshu "crawled" to the grassland after his feet and hands were broken, and became the "gentleman" of the entire grassland , Attracting the Central Plains people to move north, this is the main reason, followed by the internal bloody suppression of Zhao Duling and Chu Renfeng, which people are chaotic ministers and thieves, but these two people have the final say, so the Mo family who has a relationship with the Zhongxingshu has become the target of public criticism, this group of people is easily implicated in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and they have to move north in order to survive, and then the release of the Zhenbei Army, Song Junyi opened the defense line, allowing a large number of Central Plains craftsmen to enter the grassland, and finally had to mention the comprehensive blockade of the Zhenxi Army and the Zhennan Army, the Zhenxi Army prevented the Central Plains craftsmen from flowing into the Western Chu and the Western Regions, and the Zhennan Army held the river and cut off the road to the south, so this group of people could only go north, and it was also from that time, The strategy of joint operations of the Zhenbei Army and the Zhenxi Army was put forward by Lord Zhongtang, but unfortunately in this battle, Zhongxingshu made preparations in advance and ordered Tuoba Longshan to lead the army to intervene obliquely and obstruct the union of the two armies.
The Central Plains people who went north will inevitably be unaccustomed to the grassland, but the forbearance and strong resilience of the Central Plains people in their bones have made the pretentious grassland people see the hard work and intelligence of the Central Plains, even if they sometimes stubbornly do not believe it, but they can't help but envy and yearn for all kinds of rumors in the Central Plains.
The carriage and horses move north, a double-edged sword, will show its power after the dust settles in this great war.
The barracks of the Zhenbei Army are located in the center of the battle between the two armies, a Song character Wang flag is erected high, it is a decisive posture of vowing to live and die with the Zhenbei Army, the general Song Junyi sits in the big tent in the army in armor, the whole body collapses in the chair, holding a warm wine jug in his hand, not drinking, only used to warm his hands.
When the old general is nervous, he relaxes on the outside, just like at this time.
The herald continues to deliver the military information in front to the big tent, the sand table that occupies most of the camp tent in the center is changing rapidly, changing the scene, the old general droops a pair of eyes, always watching the movement of the sand table, his mind is like electricity, at this time the battlefield is undergoing huge changes, coupled with the lag of information transmission, the current battle situation should be more advanced than imagined.
The grassland army does not have a commander, and attacks in units of 10,000 people, so there is no overall planning of the Chinese army's big tent, Zhang Yuan must also stand in the army, and the old general Song Junyi blatantly established the Chinese army's big tent here, in order to let the entire grassland army see it, I, Song Junyi, is here, if you want to achieve immortal achievements, just come to attack the Chinese army's big tent.
The grassland people attach importance to military merits, rarely have the idea of joint operations, see military merits, eager to pounce on and rob, as for whether it is related to the overall situation, can not control so much, Ji Congee did a very smart thing, that is, to remove Zhang Yuan's title of generalissimo to the south, and this is also the most stupid decision, a local battlefield on the battle of Wuchuan Town let the grassland abandon the strategy of "the Central Plains people fight the Central Plains people", the grassland people still have no patience.
Song Junyi sighed in his heart, but he also knew that no matter how rich the battle achievements in front of him were, Zhang Yuan would not be fooled, looking at the entire front, Zhang Yuan's 50,000 private army advanced the slowest speed, but the defense line was the thickest and firmest, and the formation was the most stable.
Now Song Junyi is still in the big tent, in fact, when the encirclement is formed, it is also the time when the old general abandons the big tent, he will personally lead the army to dig the defense line of the grassland and strive for victory in the northern battlefield.
Slowly getting up, Song Junyi stared at the wine jug in his hand and muttered to himself: "Just make an exception to drink wine once before the war, and in the future, I don't know if I will have my life to drink again." ”
Raising his head and drinking a big sip, the old general pulled his armor, inexplicably happy, drank it all in one go, and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be good if the deputy general was still there, at this time, the cultivation master was on top of thousands of troops, leading a small team to raid, killing one or two captains, this battle would be much easier, but it's a pity." Hey, I don't know what happened to Yuan Ying's girl in Tai'an City, so it's worrying. ”
As soon as the words fell, a military newspaper sounded outside the military tent: "Report!"
A herald came to the center of the tent out of breath and knelt on one knee: "General Qiqi, there is a blue rainbow in the south, which is presumed to be a master of human cultivation, but it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe. ”
