1376. The lifeblood of Wei
Tang Feng vetoed Fan Zuo's idea, Fan Zuo felt that he had gained a foothold, and then began to counterattack, and Tang Feng believed that it would be more beneficial for the Wei army to continue to defend.
Although the Han and Zhao people were attacking, and looking at the situation, they won a big victory and forced them here, but Tang Feng knew that the situation between the Zhao people and the Han people was not very optimistic, because the Zhao people and the Han people, there was a phenomenon of poor resources in the country.
If they can't break through the main force of the Wei army in the short term, they can only negotiate peace with the Wei army, and at that time, it is the most favorable opportunity for the Wei army to counterattack.
Although Wei, Han, and Zhao all had poor resources, it was obvious that Wei's resources were more abundant, after all, they controlled a salt lake mine, and they controlled the most important thing of this era, 'salt'.
Although there is no grain or grass in the territory of their Wei people, there is a huge salt mine, and there is salt in the territory, and they can exchange salt for what they want with a third-party force.
Although the Han people and the Zhao people also stored a certain amount of salt in their territory, their salt could not be compared with the Wei who had salt mines, not to mention that salt had a great role in this world.
Wei dared to sell it, it was because they had salt, and the resources of salt were very rich, and although the Zhao and Han people also had salt, they used this salt.
If they sell the salt, then when they use it, they want to buy it, but they can't buy it.
Human life is inseparable from these salts, it can be said that this salt is a necessary product of people, because the human body needs to eat salt, although it does not need to use too much, a small sip can be.
Because salt has the effect of preventing diseases and improving people's physical functions, if a person does not consume salt for a long time, then he may get diseases, and if a person gets diseases, then it may cause infectious diseases, one after another, and the country will die.
Especially in times of war, people are needed, they are physically strong, and there can be no mistakes, so this salt will become a vital strategic material.
Many princes who do not have salt mines, when their annual taxes are good, will think of buying some salt outside to increase their salt strategic materials.
The Wei people have such a huge resource, and they are also the last lifeblood of the Wei people, and at this critical time, the lifeblood of the Wei people has begun to show its role.
Although the Wei people are poor in grain and grass, their salt mines still exist, as long as there are these salt mines and sell them to the Chu State, then they can get a certain amount of grain and grass subsidies, and transport these grain and grass to the front line, and they can have a stalemate with Han and Zhao.
In recent years, the Wei people have been in a state of decline, since the division of the Jin State, the Wei State has been the backbone of the Central Plains, and has experienced many disasters, but the Wei have stood up.
Fan Zuo listened to Tang Feng's opinion and did not advocate a counteroffensive, of course, even if he proposed a counteroffensive, if the three Tang brothers did not support it, he would not be able to carry it out, after all, he would not lead the army to fight, so he could only rely on the three Tang brothers.
At this time, he was in the camp of the Zhao and Han coalition forces.
Zhang Liang fell silent at this time, he looked at Li Wusheng, Li Wusheng bowed his head and was silent, Zhang Liang was very confident in his plan, but what he didn't expect was that Li Wusheng raided the Wei army and let the Wei army evacuate safely, and now there are so many troops.
This Wei army withdrew, and at a strategic point, stationed and built a rudimentary fortification, although it is rudimentary now, as long as it is stationed for a long time, it is not impossible for this rudimentary fortification to become an unusually strong fortification.
"General Li Wusheng, I never thought that you would let the Wei army evacuate like this, and it was the most important Wei soldier of the Wei army who successfully evacuated!" Zhang Liang looked at Li Wusheng and said.
Li Wusheng was silent, his mind had always been the scene of his surprise attack, he led the cavalry to charge personally to meet the enemy, their charge was very good, breaking three important camps in a row, and then about the camp of the other party's Wei Wushu.
He never imagined that the moment they were about to step into the camp of Wei Wushu, the shield wall had already appeared in front of them.
Originally, they were cavalry, and they had a certain advantage when attacking the infantry, and the other party was not spearmen, so he sent cavalry to attack, but the shield wall was very strong, and they failed to break through the shield wall of Wei Wushu several times, and at the moment when they attacked the shield wall of Wei Wushu, the rear of the Wei army had begun to evacuate in an organized manner.
Instead of fighting back immediately, they chose to evacuate because they wanted to regain their strength in a decisive battle with them.
Seeing that the food that had just arrived in his mouth left him like this, he was extremely angry, but at the same time, he was helpless, because his cavalry had attacked several times, and he couldn't break through Wei Wushu's shield wall at all.
Wei Wushu can be said to be the most fearless soldier he has met after many years of fighting, the cavalry charged in front of them, they were not afraid, although several times broke the walls of several Wei Wushu, but Wei Wushu was able to make up for it soon.
After several rounds of unsuccessful breaking through the shield wall of Wei Wushu, he began to prepare for a detour to besiege, and by this time the standing army of the Wei people had already surrounded it.
The first troops to be evacuated by the Wei army here this time are Wei Wushu, because as long as Wei Wushu is there, then they are not afraid of any war.
In positional warfare, they also have a certain degree of self-confidence, because of the strength of Wei Wushu, these generals have an inexplicable self-confidence.
Because of the sudden appearance of Wei Wushu, the standing army gradually came to its senses, and they began to fight against the Zhao and Han coalition forces, although they were ultimately defeated, but Wei Wushu withdrew, and with the evacuation, there were 300,000 Wei standing troops.
Of course, Li Wusheng is not without a trace of achievements, behind the departure of 300,000 Wei standing troops and 60,000 Wei soldiers, there are 200,000 Wei standing troops who died here.
At the same time, two lieutenant generals stayed here, and twelve major generals stayed here, although Li Wusheng did not complete the final plan, but the blow he gave to the Wei people was unusually big.
In fact, Li Wusheng did not succeed in annihilating the Wei army, and it was not only Li Wusheng's reason, the other party had an army of nearly 600,000, and Li Wusheng led the army to raid, and only led a total of 100,000 cavalry, including 50,000 light cavalry and 50,000 cavalry.
The difference in numbers was almost one to six, of course, Li Wusheng had the advantage of the surprise attack, and the other party did not have any sense of defense.
If Li Wusheng's opponent only had the standing army, he might have won, but he had the elite Wei Wushu among the soldiers, and Wei Wushu reacted very quickly, and when the standing army was at a loss, Wei Wushu had already reacted.
Wei Wushu's cooperation was very strong, and when Wei Wushu reacted, Li Wusheng could be said to have no advantage.
