Chapter 210. Proxy wars
In later generations, there is a name for war, called proxy war!
You don't necessarily need to go into battle shirtless, and hand-to-hand combat with a group of faggets bare-chested is called hegemony, spend a little money, send others to work, and wait until they both lose the battle, and then you come and pretend to be a savior, which is called the work of a wise man.
Now that Wang Hou doesn't have the strength to annex Zang Ba, a local tyrant, then give him benefits, increase his strength, let him not hold back his desire to attack, and invite the wind and tree enemies everywhere. When he is planted, Wang Hou can make a move!
Lao Tzu is so bad!
While following the horse, Wang Hou laughed evilly, but before he could laugh heartily, a crisp and curious voice sounded beside him.
"What is the state pastor laughing at? It's so wicked to look at! ”
Wang Hou's smile couldn't help choking there, and then he rolled his eyes impatiently.
"It's evil! You'll know when you get married! ”
"Hmph, forget it, stingy man!"
Following him behind the horse, the eldest lady of the Zhuge family, who was dragging the reins of the horse and wrapped in a big scarf, turned her little brain and raised her small mouth in anger.
I really don't understand why Cao Hongjie sent this girl over to watch him, isn't she afraid that she will be like Lu Ji last time, watching and being slept by him? After glancing at this girl a little strangely, Wang Hou paid attention to the front again.
This time Zang Ba's mobilization is not small, fully mobilized more than 20,000 Taishan thief cavalry, and additionally dispatched 5,000 Sun Guan and 4,000 Yin Li.
The armor and weapons he brought were also equipped by Zang Ba, the horseshoe newly beaten by the horse army stepped on the frozen hard snow, and the forward heavy infantry wore two pieces of turtle shell-like plate armor given by Wang Hou, carrying the new steel halberd, and rubbing his hands while walking, the steel armor can indeed provide a good defense, but it is powerless against this cold and biting weather.
Looking at the patches of white gas like chimneys, while sighing at the frost resistance of the ancients in this era, Wang Hou couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
Cotton! Gotta get it out next year!
The target of this expedition is Zhucheng, after the late Han Dynasty divided the Langya Kingdom, the central area of Chengyang County, about the later Weifang City, here to the south Ju County, Rizhao City and other places are desolate areas, to the north is Pyeongchang, Gaomi, Dongwu, Gumi and other counties, whether it is a city or a population, it is rich all of a sudden.
Playing here is not Wang Hou's whim, geographically, Zhucheng and Juxian, Rizhao is close to forming an isosceles triangle, strength, here can threaten his newly built Rizhao City anytime and anywhere, and economically, Zhucheng County and Wang Hou's Luzhong urban agglomeration population is very rich, Taishan thieves crossed, will certainly cause a large number of local people to flee, as long as one-fifth of the fleeing south, Wang Hou earned, his Rizhao Port City is too lacking in population labor, especially after the winter, he also wants to reclaim cotton fields, It takes a lot of manpower!
It's better to get another 10,000 strong men! Unconsciously, Wang Hou fell into his own world again, breathing cold air and groaning.
But this kung fu, his cold hand suddenly warmed, turned his head in astonishment, grabbed his hand, but Zhuge Ying was already a stupid and sweet image on weekdays, and screamed quickly and sharply.
"Shield! Protect the State Shepherd! ”
Only then did Wang Hou hear clearly, and the two Taishan thieves on horseback in front of him were facing the snowflakes of the knife wind, and they roared fiercely.
"The striker encounters the Eagle Claw Sun, and he pulls the work side by side!"
Enemy here?
…………
Like in the interpretation, there is a gong and a lot of people are killed! Or squatting in the grass in the anti-Japanese drama, the devil will step into the encirclement, basically! First, there are not big mountain kilns everywhere, and the march generally avoids entering these treacherous terrains, and the second is that sending reconnaissance cavalry is the basic quality of every qualified military commander, like when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on a northern expedition to the Huns, the scout cavalry could even explore the march route within three days in advance, like this Lunan spared Mount Tai and marched in Luzhong, and more often walked the flat plain, and the ambush encountered was also one side taking advantage of the other side not being ready, and suddenly lined up to attack the army formation and break into the opponent's army field.
After all, he has been a thief for many years, and Zang Ba's Taishan army is much stronger than those Taishan thieves who went south to rob Langya country, whether it is the degree of organization or morale, and listens to the roar of the sentinel guard, one by one the small leaders also scolded and shouted, and the marching team that was originally stretched into a long strip quickly became thick and flattened like dough, and became a horizontal team.
The bandits with shields or spears and armor walked to the front of the team, the light infantry thieves with short knives and cloth clothes shrank behind, and at the front, the most coveted by Wang Hou, the Taishan thief archers!
In this era, the terrain of Mount Tai is rugged, there are many deer, many wild boars and many tigers, many old hunters in the mountains have practiced a hand of marksmanship, Zang Ba under his command, this bow and arrow unit is the most brilliant, training archers requires too much time and cost, this part is also the most scarce by Wang Hou.
Although it can't be called a formation, it is also a battle formation, Zhang Wang, Li Zhao, Liu's various leaders and banners poured forward, and the Taishan Great Array, which had been in the whole team for more than 20 minutes, was finally pressed forward like a black wall.
This time, Wang Hou brought a total of more than 300 guards, but he didn't want to waste his strength here, he was also very obscene to stuff the troops as far back as possible, and marched for more than ten minutes before the large team arrived on the battlefield.
Riding on a horse, Wang Hou craned his neck to visit, and several small hillsides wanted to go down, where the same dense yellow line was densely arrayed, a large piece of dense Yuanzi banners danced in the wind, and a Jiangzi Daxu hit the forefront of the whole army.
Chengyang guards Jiang Qi's troops!
At this time, the forward cavalry of the Taishan army has already exchanged fire with the other party, just look at the horse army, thousands of Taishan riders rode horses and galloped to the front of Jiang Qi's army, suddenly threw out an arrow, immediately turned around and ran, crackling arrow rain, even the heavy array of Jiang Qi's troops can only walk slowly, the striker is also an archer and crossbowman repeatedly shoot arrows to fight back, from time to time you can see that there are Taishan cavalry shot off the horse.
Relying on the cavalry, Zang Ba finally dragged on for enough time to hold on to the arrival of the main force of his infantry.
Just when Wang Hou was fascinated, Zhuge Ying behind him was curious and unbearable, staring greedily at the telescope in his hand, a sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a banner with Zang characters was also moved to the center of the military formation, and Wang Hou handed over the telescope at hand, regardless of Zhuge Ying's cheers, he hurriedly hit the horse to the front, side by side with Zang Ba, staring at the thick Yuan Jun, Wang Hou asked hurriedly.
"What's the situation?".
"I don't know!"
Shaking his head, Zang Ba's bearded face was indescribably gloomy, and his tricks were full of murderous intentions!
