Chapter 142: The Wind Stops and the Rain Reaps
On the battlefield in front of Zhangshui, Zhao Xing cut down the last Wei army standing, and saw another 10,000-strong team, carrying Changge out of the mud, this time it was a Qin man in black armor.
The Qin people were dispatched, which is enough to show that the Wei people were almost exhausted, and Zhang Yi and Gongsun Jia really had to fight with themselves.
The trapped beast is still fighting, and he is already exhausted, and it is inevitable that there will be losses. I have achieved the results I wanted, and if there is a loss, it will not be perfect.
So Zhao Xing waved his arms and led the soldiers to hide in the heavy rain again.
Hiding in a high place, Zhao Xing asked the soldiers to get under the belly of the horse to avoid the rain, he was too tired, and the soldiers had to really rest.
The most important thing is that the trapped beast is still fighting, he saw Zhang Yi's tenacity and cruelty, and also saw the spirit of the trapped beast of the Wei and Qin coalition forces.
"Actually, our results have been very large, and we have killed and wounded at least 40,000 enemies before and after. With such a result, your soldiers are already comparable to the Wei soldiers of the year. Standing in the thatched hut that the soldiers helped to build, Yin Qi couldn't help but feel a burst of pride and a sense of loss when he talked about Wei Wushu.
Wu Qi's God of War created Wei Wushu, who was famous all over the world at that time, once set a miraculous feat of "seventy-two battles, all victories sixty-four, and the rest were evenly resolved (regardless of victory or defeat)". A decisive battle with Qin created a famous battle in the history of Chinese warfare in which 50,000 foot soldiers, 100 chariots and 3,000 riders were created, and the 500,000 people of Qin were defeated by fewer victories, which made Wei Wushu famous all over the world. At its peak, there were as many as 50,000 to 70,000 Wei Wushu. Wei Wushu was also the most elite and fierce representative of the army at that time, and he was also a real professional soldier at that time.
But the good times didn't last long, and the short-sighted nobles of Wei united to force Wu Qi to run to Chu, without a soul, let alone a state's support, and Wei Wushu disappeared. Thinking of these, Yin Qi couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Xing didn't want to talk to him about the tough infantry who had withdrawn from the stage of history.
"Actually, my goal has been achieved, although I did not achieve the absolute victory of the half-crossing attack, but I let Zhang Yi's army of more than 100,000 suffer heavy losses, let him crawl and roll in the mud for two days and one night, even if he crossed the Zhangshui, he has no combat effectiveness. He had to rest under the city of Liangyi for at least ten days before he could recover. There will be many things going on in the ten days. ”
Xu Jie smiled and said: "For example, the second general raided Anyang and left him without follow-up grain and grass, did he advance or retreat?" I struggled to crawl over, but when it happened, I struggled with Zhang Yi. ”
Yin Qi said: "Since your goal has been achieved, then, you can take your soldiers back to Handan to wait for work." ”
Zhao Xing smiled and said: "I won't be so stupid, because I won't go to Handan, that will tie my cavalry hands and feet." I will continue to take advantage of the characteristics of my cavalry to come and go like the wind, turn my head south, and ask the old general to think about it from my point of view, where should I go if a strong cavalry that hit him half of the crossing suddenly turned south? ”
Yin Qi was shocked: "Surround Wei again to save Zhao?" ”
Zhao Xing and Xu Jie high-fived each other: "Old general, guessed right." ”
Yin Qi said suddenly: "What if he doesn't save it?" "This is absolutely possible, in order to achieve the goal, never give up, it is the nature of the scholar, but also the character of Zhang Yi.
Zhao Xing asked with a smile: "Old general, now you are Zhang Yi who has just completed the great plan of the Wei Dynasty, don't be unhappy, let's take this as a prerequisite." ”
"No, it won't."
"Okay, okay, then it won't be, then you are the one who was just trusted by King Wei. But you have to admit that there are a lot of people who think the same way as me. ”
Yin Qi had to admit it honestly.
"If my army suddenly comes to the city, Daliang is empty, and the monarch orders you Zhang Yi to come back to rescue you, you say, will you ignore the monarch's order and continue to attack Handan?"
After Yin Qi thought about it for a while, he suddenly said in frustration: "Whether it is to show his loyalty to the monarch, or to prove his loyalty to the Wei State to the ministers and doctors who doubt him, he must return to the army." ”
Zhao Xing smiled and said, "That's right." ”
"But as you said, is Zhang Yi really from the Qin Kingdom?" Speaking of this, Yin Qi shook his head lightly: "Then he must also return to the army to rescue Daliang." ”
Xu Jie smiled and clapped his hands: "That's right, if Zhang Yi is really from the Qin Kingdom, he must save Daliang." Because, his purpose as an intermediary was not to make Wei fall down, but to win over Wei to attach himself to Qin, jointly deal with the other five countries in Hedong, and sabotage his classmates' strategy of cooperation. Once he didn't save him, King Wei knew that he was a human being, and all his plans would be completely in vain. In this way, no matter what his situation, he must come back to save the beam. This is a dead knot, this is a conspiracy. ”
Zhao Xing sighed with a smile: "The conspiracy is so broken, but the conspiracy is unsolvable." I am a gentleman, and a gentleman should be frank, so I love to use yang schemes. ”
What else can be said? Speechless.
The rain stopped as the sky was about to dawn, and the sun once again pierced the clouds and shone the sun on the earth. The night did not reap the return, a flood broke out in the south of Zhangshui, and it became a Ze country, but Zhang Yi was decisive and crossed Zhangshui before the flood, and arrived at the city of Liangyi safely, and joined the original 5,000 Wei army.
Now, Zhao Xing is isolated to the south by Hongfan District.
The soldiers who had hid under the horse's belly came out and cheered and sang in the sun. Drive away the cold of the rain and enjoy the warmth of the sun.
Zhao Hao's team is back, and there are no casualties, which is very gratifying.
The two armies were in one place, and then walked ten miles south, out of the range of Zhang Yi's possible attack, using the protection of Hongfan District, in a place with abundant water and grass, officially set up camp, the soldiers needed to rest, and the war horses needed to recover.
Zhao Xing counted the men and horses, and lost two thousand before and after. Destroying 95,000 enemies before and after, and losing 2,000 of their own, this can definitely go down in history as a precedent of winning more with less. Even if Lu Guo didn't write it, Zhao Xing would lead the troops to invite them to write a special book.
Now Zhao Xing is going to rest here for five days, so that his physical strength and spirit can be completely recovered, and then he will raid Daliang.
Zhang Yi needs to rest for ten days to recover, and on the fifth day, it is the time when he can't pick up and down, and it is also the most difficult time, and when he hasn't recovered, he has to drag his tired body and go south through the muddy flood area again to save Daliang.
Zhang Yi, under the mobilization of Zhao Xing, who was riding and shooting in Hufu, would be exhausted to death.
What if you don't die of exhaustion? It doesn't matter, Zhao Xing is going to take them for another run until they are exhausted. This is the difference between cavalry and infantry fighting charioteers. At all times, there is a speed difference. The charioteers were exhausted, and the cavalry could get plenty of rest to fight.
In this war, Zhao Xing just wanted the people of Zhao to see the huge advantage of cavalry, so that those stubborn guys who were still pointing fingers at the reform of Hufu cavalry and archery shut up.
