Chapter 1211 Carrying on the Past and Opening Up the Future (101) Changping Meat Grinder
Gao Yuan deliberately exposed his whereabouts, and the Qin army who fled back brought the news back to Hangu Pass, as Gao Yuan expected, hearing that Gao Yuan appeared in Jinyang, Lu Chao, who was originally determined to return to Xianyang, immediately changed his mind, and the Qin army of Hangu Pass poured out of the nest and rushed towards Jinyang County.
"Please leave Jinyang County immediately for safety." Zhao Qi, who surrendered to Cheng anyway, has now quickly changed his role, and thinks about it wholeheartedly for Gao Yuan, "Lu Chao's goal is the king, even if we completely annihilate Gouyi's 20,000 soldiers and horses, but in Hangu Pass, Lu Chao can still mobilize more than 80,000 foot horses, which is far from what the current Jinyang can resist." Although the cavalry of the Han army is brave, the Qin army is very mature in the tactics of infantry and cavalry, and in Hangu Pass, in recent years, Lu Chao has vigorously developed cavalry, in order to compete with the Han army's iron cavalry, and now the cavalry has almost 20,000 horsemen, just with this force of men and horses, they can firmly contain our two cavalry divisions. ”
"The king, my father is very worried, I still ask the king to leave quickly, as long as the king leaves, even if Lu Chao conquers Jinyang, it is not a big deal, it is a big deal that we will fight back in a while." Zhao Xilie also nodded in agreement with Zhao Qi's thoughts.
Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Are you thinking, Lu Chao's goal is me, as long as I go, Lu Chao has no goal, he will definitely return to Hangu Pass, there is no oil and water in Jinyang now, and it's not a pity to give up, right?" ”
"The subordinates don't dare." Zhao Xilie lowered his head, "The subordinates are just worried about the safety of the king. ”
Zhao Qi's face turned red, as Gao Yuan said, that's what he thought.
"I finally lured Lu Chao out and left him in Jinyang County to settle accounts with me. When I go, isn't it taking advantage of some people's intentions, no, I won't go, I will fight with Lu Chao in Jinyang. "Gao Yuan is right.
Zhao Xilie was taken aback. "Your Majesty, the cavalry of the Qin army is enough to contain our two cavalry divisions, and his foot soldiers are coming, how should we deal with it?"
"Xilie, don't you still have tens of thousands of troops in your hands, why are you cowardly before you fight?" Takato asked.
Zhao Xilie smiled bitterly: "King." It's not that I grow the enemy's morale and destroy my own prestige, I do have tens of thousands of sons under me, but my combat effectiveness is not on the same level as the Qin army. If the king is not here, his subordinates will dare to fight their opponents. Even if he loses, he will break a few of his opponent's flanks, but the king is here, but I don't dare to take this risk, it doesn't matter if my subordinates are wiped out, but if the king is missing a hair, how can I explain to the Han people? ”
Takato laughed, "What's so scary. Since the day I raised the army, there have been hundreds of battles, large and small, and there has been another time. Our Han army has the upper hand, and most of us are at an absolute disadvantage, but we have never lost a single battle. This time, it's no exception. So this battle, Xilie, is to have your army as the protagonist. I'm going to fight with Lu Chao in a dignified manner and stick him firmly to Jinyang County. It was easy for him to come out and wanted to go back. Hey, it's not that easy to spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and leave a few pieces of meat behind. ”
He raised his palm and waved it in the air, stopping Zhao Xilie's intention to persuade again, "My combat order has been sent to Huining, Xu Yuan is starting to mobilize the troops of the First Military Region, you can rest assured, our support troops will rush to Jinyang in an endless stream in a short time, and Li Mingjun's troops will arrive in half a month." ”
"How many of those people under Ming Jun can fight?" Zhao Xilie smiled bitterly.
"Don't underestimate Li Mingjun, his subordinates still have many good ones." Gao Yuan smiled, "Now I'll talk about my specific arrangements." ”
Zhao Xilie took a deep breath, and turned his gaze to the side of the silent Gu Li and Agu Huaien and several other Han army generals, but he was destined to be disappointed, Gu Li and the Qin people have a deep hatred, as soon as he heard that he was going to officially fight with the Qin people, every pore was cheering, he didn't look at Zhao Xilie at all, but stared at Gao Yuan tightly, ready to listen to Gao Yuan's arrangement, and Agu Huaien, the Donghu people, was originally a character who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and the Donghu people dared to fight with the Yan army and the Eastern Army when the equipment was so poor. Now in the system of the Han State, his Donghu independent division can be said to be armed to the teeth, and now he doesn't have to think about logistics and supplies at all, these will naturally be prepared for him, what he has to consider is how to fight and kill the enemy, he wants to make meritorious contributions, and he wants to earn a good future for the Agu family, he has never thought about the consequences of the Han army being unable to do the opponent, in his eyes, in this world, no one can be the opponent of the Han army, even the powerful Donghu army, Even the great King Miranda was beaten to the point by the current king, what are the Qin people.
"This time the battlefield, I decided to set up in Changping." Takato pointed his finger at a small, inconspicuous black dot on the map. "This time, the action plan is named Changping Meat Grinder."
Hearing that it was Changping, the muscles on the faces of Zhao Xilie and Zhao Qi twitched all of a sudden, if there is any hidden pain in Zhao State, which has become a thing of the past, it is Changping, Jing Rufeng's death plan directly buried the most elite 100,000 field troops of Zhao State, of which 80,000 were killed by Qin General Baisheng Pit in Changping, where it is the eternal pain of the Zhao people.
Gao Yuan raised his head and looked at the two of them, "General Zhao, do you know what my intention is to set the battlefield in Changping?" ”
Zhao Xilie nodded vigorously, "Understood." ”
"Very good, don't be ashamed, now your army's combat effectiveness is indeed not as good as the Qin army, but in the early stage of the war, we must use your troops as the main force, that is to say, you must hold on for at least half a month to more than twenty days, and we must hold Changping. Changping buries the soul of your 80,000 sons and daughters of the Zhao army, I hope that where your troops can stimulate the blood, backed by the souls of these 80,000 heroes, I hope that you will play the majesty and momentum of the Zhao army before, where you fall, you will get up, and let the Qin army forever regret their stupid move of killing these 80,000 soldiers. ”
Gao Yuan's words suddenly made the blood in Zhao Xilie's whole body boil, he nodded again and again, and choked up: "Yes, Wang, if you fall there, you will get up there, and tens of thousands of sons and daughters under Xilie's command will wash away this shame with blood, and also use the blood of the enemy to comfort the 80,000 heroic souls of Changping." ”
"Very good, next, I'll talk about what the Changping meat grinder plan is."
Huining, the original county government has become the headquarters of the first military region of Xu Yuan, since Gao Yuan issued the combat order, this has become the busiest place in the whole Huining, day and night people in and out, one after another orders from the headquarters, flying to the various units of the first military region and the various administrative regions where the first military region is located.
"I believe everyone now knows what a meat grinder is!" Xu Yuan looked at the subordinates in the room and said, everyone laughed, the meat grinder was invented by a workshop owner in Jishi City, this workshop owner was originally a supplier of meat for the troops, slaughtering a large number of cattle every day, he had to hire a large number of people to cut the meat into small pieces or strips, and after processing the mature food, it was packaged in an iron box and provided to the troops, and a large number of people accounted for most of the cost, which made him begin to think about how to reduce labor costs, and the meat grinder came into being. The owner of the workshop offered a reward of 1,200 silver, and finally let the workshops all over the city develop a meat grinder, and the large pieces of meat were stuffed into it, and it only took a strong woman to turn the axle, and what came out from the other end became a small strip of shredded meat, and the cost plummeted by half.
"To put it bluntly, this plan is to fight a protracted war in Changping, and consume the national strength of the Qin State for a long time, the Qin State has now become a quagmire, and the internal worries have appeared. So, we need to deploy a lot of troops where to go, Mingjun. ”
"The subordinates are here." Li Mingjun was the first to hear Xu Yuan call his name, and he was deeply honored, and Huo Di stood up.
"How many men can you muster?" Xu Yuan asked.
"Commander, there are 50,000 men under the command of the last general, but the most of them are 15,000 who can really come in handy."
"Very well, after the meeting is dismissed, your 15,000 men and horses will immediately set off for Changping. As the first batch of troops in our First Military Region to support Wang Shang, the other troops are far away after all, and it will take time, can you rush to Changping within the specified time? ”
"Don't worry, commander, even if you climb, I will also climb to Changping." Li Mingjun said with his chest straight.
Xu Yuan laughed, "Okay, what I want is this spirit, but I don't need you to climb, I have mobilized a large number of cattle, horses and livestock, although it is far from enough, but it can always relieve your urgent need." Don't worry about logistics, you just have to move forward, if the logistics go wrong, you are the only one who asks. ”
"Yes, Commander." Li Mingjun said loudly.
Xu Yuan's gaze turned to a pot-bellied guy who was attending the meeting: "Fat Zhang, this time you are at the right time, you are cheap, you have done a good job in this business, and you will also be a first-class businessman in the Han Dynasty in the future, I can't say that you will have a place in the parliament in the future, but if you mess up, you will lose your head, and it is too late to regret it now." ”
Zhang Hui, known as Zhang Fatzi, is a businessman from Daijun, and this time Xu Yuan didn't have time to find the largest and most proficient chamber of commerce in China that is also the best at operating logistics and transshipment, so he could only find Zhang Hui nearby.
"Don't worry, my lord, according to the amount I said, I have prepared twenty percent more carriages and livestock, and for this, I have put all my net worth on board, and even my old house has been mortgaged to the bank. Never cause trouble to the commander. ”
"The idea of preparing more than two percent is good, but more importantly, orderly operation, I am worried about this, I have assigned you several staff officers in the headquarters who are good at logistics, you listen to their opinions in everything."
"Thank you for the kindness."
Xu Yuan laughed, "The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, if you mess up this errand, I will take my face and hang my dog's face, and I won't recognize anyone." (To be continued)
