Chapter 222. Phantom in the snow
If Wang Hou was here, he would understand why he had never thought that the 60,000 troops of the Taishan Army could be defeated so quickly in the northern expedition to Qi, and even to the point that he had to give up his identity as an independent warlord, and he had to ask him for help.
The time, the place, the people! Of the three elements of war, Zang Ba didn't occupy any of them!
First of all, it's the time of day! It seems to be the weakest pole of the elements of war, and it gave him a heavy blow first! Blizzard!
It is now the Xiaoice River period, when Wang Hou marched to Chengyang County, he encountered three days of heavy snow, but Wang Houjun had a large cotton coat to keep warm, and in winter, Wang Hou also prepared a military tent, and Zang Ba did not have these!
When it encountered a blizzard, it was the last barrier fortress in front of Linzi, the capital of Qi, and it had been attacked for eleven days.
Zang Ba received a lot of assistance from Wang Hou, including tens of thousands of long and short weapons, two thousand collars of armor, four back cannons, and more than 4,000 single-bow steel crossbows produced before the transformation of the double bow and crossbow Wang Hou also gave him, in exchange for the first wave of 18,000 prisoners, and later 2,000 strong men in Taishan, it is with these weapons and equipment, Zang Ba smoothly passed through Dongguan County, which was split out of Taishan County, and won several counties in the north of Dongguan County, which was approached before Linzi.
But these elite weapons, sturdy armor, are not resistant to frost! Even if the people of the Han Dynasty were much more resistant to frost than later generations, and the temperature suddenly dropped to minus thirty or forty degrees, the people and horses couldn't stand it, and Zang Ba's army was frozen to death by thousands of people overnight, and even the sturdy weapons and armor were frozen on the zombies and couldn't be taken off!
After the time, it is geographically advantageous, it is located at the northern foot of Mount Tai, and Ju County has a towering and magnificent Mount Tai isolation, the supplement is not so easy to deliver, in a short period of time Zang Ba can not get enough fuel for heating, coupled with the Yidu County soldiers resistance is extremely fierce, morale has been injured, he finally realized his mistake in political decision-making, decided to turn over and retreat to Linqu County.
And then he was hit by the first blow again!
Resisting him, the thief of Mount Tai, the people of Qi are surprisingly unanimous, entangled in one country and one county, there are 40,000 or 50,000 county soldiers, plus Yuan Tan left more than 3,000 Hebei elite soldiers to guard his hometown, the veteran Jiang Yiqu has already been staring at him north of Yidu with heavy troops, and has been waiting for the fighter plane, he has withdrawn! Just exposed his back, Jiang Yiqu took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and defeated his Taishan army halfway, so that he had evolved from retreating to fleeing! A large amount of grain and grass was discarded and fled into Linqu County.
Then he was hit by the second blow of the people, Chang Xi's head was long and rebellious, and his 10,000 soldiers and horses took the lead in blocking the road of Yimeng Mountain's retreat, Jiang Yiqu led his troops to chase and kill, and surrounded the main force of his Taishan army in Linqu County.
Before sending troops, he was ambitious, wanting to squeeze Wang Hou out of the core of Qingzhou's power, and take Qi State, Beihai State and other places first, with the local dense population and developed economy, his army power can at least expand a circle, even if Wang Hou is Qingzhou Mu, in order to win him over, Cao Cao will definitely give him greater rights, as in history, General Zhendong, supervise the affairs of Qingxu Zhuzhou County! Wang Hou also had to listen to him.
Now it's good! Now it's a big dream, but it's been made dumplings, and it's not certain whether you have the life to go back!
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew in Linqu County, blowing on the ancient wooden building built by Qi in the Warring States Period and whining and screaming, the cold people on the wall shivered, wearing a deerskin coat, Zang Ba still felt the slightest chill in the cracks, not to mention the ordinary Taishan army with thin clothes underneath, sneaking from the city wall to the right city gate, along the way it seemed to be able to see his soldiers standing guard majestically with spears in their hands, but suddenly, the guards shouted in panic, and in the sound of breaking the air, It was a dense array of feather arrows that shot up, and Zang Ba squatted down directly to dodge with his body memory, but the guard standing guard with a spear next to him was like a fool, and he still stood motionless and faced the city.
Bang bang bang bang ~
The feather arrow shot made a crisp sound as if it had hit the top, and in the next second, the spear-wielding guard stuck in a body of arrows and fell heavily in front of Zang Ba.
Under his gloomy eyes, the arrow did not shoot deep into his body, but it didn't matter how deep it was, because the dead couldn't feel it, and he didn't know when he froze to death last night, and the guard's face still maintained the uneasiness and exhaustion of secretly taking this nap at that moment.
At the head of the city, the archers of the Taishan army also took bows and arrows to fight back, on the bow and arrows, the hunter-born Taishan army occupied a slight advantage, and after a while, the soldiers of the Qi Di Son County who grew up in the plains were not opponents and were scattered.
However, before the Taishan soldiers cheered a few times, suddenly, the whistling sound that made the eardrums itch suddenly sounded again, boom, the city wall seemed to tremble a few times, those frozen guards crackled and fell to the ground like a pillar, and a living person who was caught off guard screamed and fell off the city wall from the city, and before he could rub his stomach in a panic, the soldiers of Qi Guo, who were shot out of a belly of fire, were angry and took the bow to recommend, and crackled and shot him like a hedgehog.
Zang Ba once again covered his head helplessly and returned the gun! It was originally his siege weapon, but he was defeated in the territory of Qi State, and was captured by Jiang Yiqu's old horseman, but it was smashed on his head.
His face was gloomy, but Zang Ba didn't have the heart to look at the battlefield, his attention was still in the city, not far away, a house was squeaked and disintegrated, and several waves of Taishan troops scrambled to hold those logs and scattered, leaving only a dilapidated house in ruins.
Even if it is all wooden buildings, half of the houses that can be demolished in the city have been demolished! In another half a month, it will burn out, how to keep out the cold, where to live? What to eat!!
…………
Sometimes, survival is more important than fighting! When Zang Bajun's army demolished the house and burned it, there were 10,000 soldiers of the Qi Kingdom, who were also scattered among the mountains and hills with axes, chopping wood with a bang.
On the ground, a fertilized squirrel suddenly jumped down from a branch, burrowed into the bush three times and twice, and disappeared again.
Faintly hearing an unknown hissing sound faintly from the gentle hills and mountain beams of Shandong, more than a dozen Qi soldiers who were cutting trees immediately threw down their axes vigilantly, took their bows and arrows, and cautiously fanned towards the small hillside of less than a hundred meters.
In these years, wild animals are abundant, and it is not surprising that a wild boar or even a bear is blind!
Just as they were scattered and surrounded by the boar, suddenly, with a whoosh, a white ghost-like thing flew over the mountain, and with a clump of snowflakes, flew down at an incredible speed.
Seeing that he was dressed in white, his white cloak was flying backwards with the mountain wind, and he was strangely stepping on two planks under his feet, and he was stupid for a few seconds, and then the leader of the team roared heartbreakingly.
"A thief! Enemy Attack!! ”
Sou~
I didn't finish a sentence! The fierce sound of breaking the air sounded, and the half-cut feather arrow suddenly appeared on his throat, and Wu Chang rolled down the hillside with a puff, and the hot blood in his throat left one stroke after another bright red on the hillside.
The roars, the sounds of escape, resounded messily in this originally silent valley, and more white ghosts who didn't know whether they were people or ghosts flew out of the ridge and galloped down, and in the ping-pong sound of crossbow arrows, one after another running Qi troops were shot alive in the snow like deer.
Patches of bright red are spreading more and more on the cold snow!
