The frog jump tactic is actually close to the meaning of "surprise and unprepared", but it is more targeted, specifically targeting the weak point of the enemy's "linear defense line", and is one of the common tactics of rapid combat.
The core concept of this tactic is one word, 'fast'.
Jump quickly to an enemy territory that cannot be defeated in a short period of time, quickly conquer a weakly defended enemy-occupied city, and once a certain link is slowed down, not only will the tactics fail, but the army sent to carry out this task in the past will also be deeply surrounded by a lone army.
For the commander who chooses the target of the attack, the choice of this tactic requires the commander to have a perfect view of the overall situation and be able to guess the enemy's intentions.
is like Su Wang Zhao Hongrun and Dangyin Hou Han Yang, in fact, whether Su Wangjun can gain an advantage in frog jumping tactics depends entirely on who Zhao Hongrun and Dangyin Hou Han Yang guess each other's minds.
For example, in the first round, when Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, mistakenly thought that Zhao Hongrun would prepare to attack Qi County, Zhao Hongrun chose to attack Hebi, resulting in Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, although he successfully rescued Hebi, but Qi County was captured by the Shang Shui Army, and a city with high walls was lost in vain.
In the second round, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, gradually mastered Zhao Hongrun's tactics and sent troops to garrison Dangyin in advance, after all, Dangyin was closer to Handan, and it was the only way for the Wei army to attack Handan; But Zhao Hongrun chose to attack Zhongmu, and after the Shang Shui Army conquered Zhongmu, he took Maocheng by the way, which means that the mountain plank road between Shangdang County and Handan County that traverses Taihang Mountain fell into the hands of the Wei army, and it also means that the "Huguan" in Shangdang County, the Han army stationed in that area was cut off by the Suwang army.
Then in the third round of confrontation, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, thought to himself, this time you Ji Run should attack Dangyin, right?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun still did not mean to attack Dangyin, but let the Shangshui army take advantage of the situation to go north, along the eastern edge of Taihang Mountain, and once again jump over Dangyin to attack the "Tomb".
After learning the news, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, was stunned and panicked.
Because the north of the "Fangling" is the "Yecheng", and if you pass Yecheng, it is almost close to the land of Gyeonggi, the capital of Korea, in this case, how dare Hanyang, the Marquis of Dangyin, let the Wei army attack the Fangling?
So, he urgently ordered the partial division stationed in Dangyin County, his fiefdom, to quickly support the defense of the tomb.
As a result, as soon as this partial division left Dangyin County on the front foot, the Yanling army on the back foot broke through Hebi, and by the way, the empty garrison of Dangyin County also fell.
I have to say that Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, did not guess Zhao Hongrun's strategic intentions at all, so that he lost "Qi County", "Zhongmu", "Hebi", and "Dangyin" one after another, and then in the last few days of the end of April, the Yanling army conquered the "Fangling" again, so that Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, could only reluctantly retreat to "Yecheng".
It is worth mentioning that when the Yanling army attacked the defense tomb, there was a fief called "Anyang" in the north of Yecheng, and the local Yi monarch "Anyang Marquis Han Ting (ting)" led a private army to try to aid the defense tomb and block the attack of the Yanling army. However, due to overestimating the strength of the Wei army, the Han army in Anyang was crushed by the Wugang chariots of the Yan Ling army.
In less than an hour, the thousands of infantry under the command of "Anyang Hou Han Ting" were almost wiped out, and he himself was killed by Hua Yu, the deputy general of the first battalion of the Yanling Army.
The date is gradually postponed to the beginning of May, and the weather is now in summer, but because Handan County is located in the northern plains, it still does not feel hot, and even the wind blowing through is still a little cool—it is the most suitable season for battle!
It is precisely for this reason that after entering May, the Wei army's offensive suddenly became more intense, not only the Suwang army, but also the other three Wei troops in the eastern part of Hedong County, the Wei Wu army, the Shanyang army, and the Northern First Army, gradually began to be active in the Handan battlefield.
The first is the general Shaohu, the fifth son of the former emperor and the chief of the guard of the Yu king Zhao Yuantong, who played an auxiliary role in the two Northern Frontier Campaigns for nearly a year, and has always been responsible for supporting the Wei army on the Northern Xinjiang battlefield.
But at this moment, the Shaohu general finally showed his skills, attacked Linshu with the power of thunder, and defeated Linshu defender Sima Shang.
During this period, Feng Ying and Jin Di, the two Beiyuan Ten Heroes, saw that the situation was critical, so they came up with a plan to attack Xiuwu County, the stronghold of the Wei army.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu, the general of the Northern First Army, saw through the Korean army's attempt, set up an ambush in the middle of the road, and successfully ambushed the surprise attack army led by Feng Ting.
The army led by Jin Huang was also defeated by the Shanyang army of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan.
In the end, the city was conquered by the Wei Wu army of General Shaohu, and Sima Shang, the general of Linshu, led his troops to retreat to the north and escaped into Taihang Mountain.
He originally planned to withdraw to "Zhongmu" and regroup in Zhongmu, but he didn't expect that when Sima Shang led the army to arrive in Zhongmu, the banner of "Shangshui Army" was fluttering on Zhongmu City - this city had already been conquered by the Shangshui Wei army.
"How so?"
Sima Shang couldn't understand it, after all, in his speculation, Wei Gongzirun's army should still be in the area of Qiguan and Qi County, could it be that so soon, Qiguan and Qi County were broken one after another?
The front road was blocked, and the back road was pursued by Wei Wujun, and Sima had no choice but to escape into Taihang Mountain and hide his whereabouts.
After getting this news, the general Shaohu also gave up the idea of pursuing Sima Shang, after all, the area of the Taihang Mountains is too big, God knows where Sima Shang fled to? Rather than painstakingly pursuing Sima Shang's Han army, Shaohu thought it would be better to take advantage of the situation to march to Handan.
Because Shaohu has received the battle report, and learned that the army under the command of His Royal Highness King Su was like a god in April, conquering several cities in Korea one after another, even Shaohu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I am fortunate to send Zhao Run as a general, and I have no regrets in my life.
The implication is that he was fortunate to have a commander like Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, to be used under his command, and Shaohu thought that he had no regrets in his life - this is enough to brag about it for a lifetime!
After all, with the status of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, there are not many people who can make him the deputy general of the 'General Army', and there are few people in the entire Wei State.
After that, Shaohu stationed in Zhongmu and took over the city's defenses from the remaining troops of the Shangshui Army, using Zhongmu as a stronghold of the "second phase strategy".
During this period, Shaohu personally wrote four letters of appointment.
First, he sent someone to Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who was in Shangdang County, and ordered him to attack Huguan, after all, "Zhongmu" and "Maocheng" both fell into the hands of the Wei army, and the return route of the Han army in Huguan has been cut off.
The second letter of appointment was to send someone to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su who led the army at the forefront of the battlefield - this is not so much a letter of appointment as a letter of commendation, after all, for the outstanding performance of the Su Wang army in April, Shaohu felt that he could not find any words to praise.
As for the third and fourth letters of appointment, they were sent to Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, and ordered them to advance along the route of the Su Wang's army and attack the city that the Su Wang's army did not attack.
For example, "Huaxian", "Liyang", and "Neihuang" further north, even though the Su Wangjun marched all the way in April, there were still many Korean cities in this area that were not captured by the Wei army.
As the 'commander-in-chief of all armies', Shaohu looked at the situation from the overall strategy, and naturally avoided any sudden changes as much as possible, so it was absolutely impossible for him to keep the cities of Huaxian and Liyang.
So at the beginning of May, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, led the Shanyang army to attack Huaxian, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, led the Northern First Army to attack Liyang.
He can't compete with those two highnesses, right?
As a result, the Southern Yan Army was transformed into a supporting army, following behind the Shanyang Army and the Northern First Army, occasionally fighting a dozen Han troops who had missed the two highnesses in front, and in addition, they completely played the role of support, taking care of the grain road for the Shanyang Army and the Northern First Army.
I have to say that if the signs of the Wei army's counterattack on Korea were revealed in April, then in May, the advance of several Wei troops gradually became unstoppable, and the Korean army was defeated and retreated.
The reason for this phenomenon is, in the final analysis, the Su Wang Army under the command of Su Wang Zhao Hongrun - this Wei army has attracted too much firepower from the Han army, but what is shocking is that the Su Wang Army is under pressure and gradually advances the front, this bravery, even the general Shaohu who is in charge of the Wei Wu Army is shocked.
You must know that the Wei Wujun is the much-anticipated Wei king-card army, even though the original Wei Wujun was wiped out in the Shangdang Campaign, but this does not affect the Wei people's expectations and trust in this army, and even Shaohu believes that the army under his command should be the most elite in the entire northern Xinjiang battlefield.
Unexpectedly, the army under the command of His Royal Highness King Su was under the pressure of almost sixty percent of the army in Handan County, and gradually pushed the battle line north, which made Shaohu feel incredible.
After thinking about it, Shao Hu finally thought that this was due to the "step by step" tactic proposed by His Royal Highness King Su - this was indeed a literal step by step strategy, because wherever Su Wang's army passed, there would be many newly built military camps, strongholds, and low walls for the friendly troops behind him.
In order to support the tactics of His Royal Highness King Su, there has been an endless stream of Wei ships going to and from the big river these days, and the huge cost of the bricks, sand, cement, Wugang cars and other things transported on the ships has already made the officials of the Wei State Household Department look miserable.
If it weren't for the tactics of a certain His Royal Highness King Su, the Wei army had indeed achieved a huge advantage in Handan County, otherwise, the officials of the Wei State Household Department would have already gone to the Vertical Arch Hall to impeach His Royal Highness King Su against Wei Tian - which is the advantage of fighting, it is clearly the advantage of smashing it with white flowers! How can there be such a war?
However, in view of the achievements of their own army in Korea, the household officials gritted their teeth and acquiesced to the countless war expenses, after all, as long as a Wei person, he dreamed of defeating South Korea and making South Korea pay a heavy price for the frequent attacks on their Wei State over the years!
It can be said that the five Wei armies that had invaded Handan County in South Korea at this time, with a total of 200,000 troops, in a sense, inherited the ardent expectations of millions of people in Wei.
