Chapter 237: The Historical Status of Leeks
The storm caused snowflakes and poor visibility and a very slow movement.
It is only in such an extreme environment that the core qualities of a team can be discerned. It's as simple as you can't tell who your true friends are at the wine table, and the same goes for the military.
Now, Wang Xiu has finally discovered the problem of his team, usually they are pampered, and they look brave and cool. Even if the physical and personal qualities are very strong, the speed of marching under the snowstorm is estimated to be at most thirty miles a day.
According to such a marching speed, Bai Agarwood would not have had the opportunity to surprise the Yangtze Ridge grain transport team.
Now Wang Xiu also knows that the team is really different from the team. The mad woman's team has faith.
On the other hand, it is precisely because it is now seen that the team of white agarwood is not an ordinary team, which proves that in this war that is nearing the end, they can make deployments that ordinary people can even more unexpected?
With such a mind of gain and loss, he finally officially entered the Yangtze Ridge boundary at the end of the time.
Even though Wang Xiu was shivering with cold, his mind was not completely rigid, and he looked up from the snowstorm with low visibility and carefully looked at the high ground on both sides of the valley. An anomaly was discovered, just like a company camp, and on those high grounds, there were snow castles one by one.
Snow castles are small but numerous, arranged in a relatively regular manner.
Wang Xiu was taken aback, and shouted hoarsely with the last effort: "This is a trap, exit the Yangtze mouth as soon as possible, judging by my experience, those snow castles above are definitely not natural wind and snow formations, they must be man-made!" ”
At this point, there was chaos within Wang Xiujun, and some leaders looked at Wang Xiu expressionlessly.
Some tried to observe in the blizzard, but they didn't see anything wrong. This road is usually very familiar, but no one has the heart to pay attention to observe what the Yangtze Ridge is like in normal times, and the formation of snow castles is also very simple.
As for whether this is man-made or natural, damn it is cold now that people can't think about it, and after the defeat, they marched overnight, and their brains are tired and rigid.
There were also some leaders who believed in Wang Xiu and thought that it might be really dangerous, so they hesitated, not knowing whether to go with the tide or listen to Wang Xiu. In short, they are in a dilemma, and this part of the wall-riding faction does not want to offend either side now.
At this moment, the most unlikely thing to happen appeared, only to see that the snow castles that Wang Xiu said were problematic were really artificial, like eggs breaking their shells, and the snow castles, large or small, were gradually breaking from the inside, and there were a steady stream of people coming out of the snow castles.
"The king is right...... This is white agarwood, the ambush ...... of white agarwood"
Immediately, there was a scene of the wind roaring and the horses barking, and there was a mess in the heavy snow.
There was not even a unanimous opinion, and I didn't know whether to break through or retreat, so there was conflict and friction, and everywhere I saw my own people crashing into each other.
"White Agarwood wins! She can repeat the same tactics twice as it is, and she is still in the same position, if she dares to do this and do it, she will definitely win, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go, the battle of Chizhou is over in one game, and there are no other variables! ”
Wang Xiu, who was in the rear and no one listened to him for the time being, saw this situation, and decisively asked Li Tianyan to quietly escape in the chaos......
After Zhao Chengbu followed him to the boundary of the Yangtze Ridge in the snowstorm, the situation changed!
Before they reached the valley mouth, they were sure that there was chaos and fighting ahead, and in the blizzard, a steady stream of scattered rebels retreated and fled for their lives.
Most of the people in Zhao Cheng's team looked at this situation at a loss, and they couldn't figure out what was going on, what they had encountered, and who they were fighting against?
"My lord, the situation is strange right now...... It's hard to see things in the blizzard, this may be Wang Xiu's trick, do you have judgment and arrangement? ”
The two messengers who were usually the most familiar hurriedly asked for instructions.
Zhao Cheng couldn't say it well, the visibility was too low. So he led the team to continue to advance fifty paces, and then carefully observed.
At this moment, I felt that the thief army who fled in panic did not look like they were acting, they were really panicked. Whenever there is a chance to exit the unorderly rules of the valley mouth, scatter and flee for their lives, and simply turn a blind eye to the approaching Chizhou militia, it is as if they have discovered something even more terrifying!
"It's still hard to believe, where did the team from Chizhou come from now can make Wang Xiu's main force so panicked in the snowstorm, my lord, let's retreat too?" And he sent someone to come near and ask for instructions.
Zhao Cheng's expression became strange, "Unless it's ...... Bai Agarwood did not enter Lingzhi Mountain after the victory of the Yangtze Mountain, and chose to repair in situ, she probably thought that Wang Xiu would withdraw after the Yangtze Ridge accident, so her unusual braincase prompted her to be cheeky and copy the exact same tactics in this same place again? ”
The people around him looked at each other, and if you want to say this, the logic is reasonable.
If you want to fight, now is indeed an opportunity. But Zhao Cheng was still not in a hurry, ignoring these unorganized bandits, and continued to advance.
Zhao Cheng knew that if it was true, then these stragglers who flew separately would not be able to survive on their own in the blizzard, and they would not be able to run far. It doesn't matter if he really runs alive, Zhao Cheng's tactical goal is to annihilate Wang Xiu's main force.
As for whether 3,000 or 2,500 people were annihilated, this is insignificant for the total amount of the Chizhou War. This needs to be clearly recognized in this temporary chaos on the battlefield, where no one knows what is happening.
"Formation!"
Advancing to a similar position, Zhao Cheng's order was issued, and the eight hundred militia stopped advancing, formed a defensive formation, and relied on the long pointed wooden sticks to form a "hedgehog" and began to wait for the rabbit.
The increasingly cold wind was howling in my ears, and the stragglers who had fled for their lives from the mouth of the Yangtze Ridge were whirring by, but they did not clash with each other much. The situation was really tense and weird, and no one had ever thought that such a strange thing would happen on the battlefield.
Until the oncoming snow wind was mixed with a strong smell of blood, which was really indistinguishable from the smell of ice and snow. It also indicates that there has been an irreversible mass casualty ahead.
This is not something that can be disguised.
"The time is ripe for battle, charge forward with me, and now we need to seal the mouth of Yangziling and make them dumplings!"
After Zhao Cheng gave the battle order, Xiao Hutou naturally repeated it decisively, but unfortunately her voice was too quiet, and it was almost completely covered by this blizzard.
Since then, there has been no chaotic fighting, and the orderly arrangement is followed by a slow advance. After such a deliberate act, some people who didn't listen hit it and became a "skewer". The screams that came with this were hard to hear, and were largely muffled by the blizzard.
But where the war is very cruel, the blood is red and the snow is white, and the corpses piled up in the snow are more and more.
Many thieves didn't even have time to bump into Zhao Chengbu's "hedgehog array", so they fell into the snow after being flustered, tired, and cold.
War is also very strange, as long as the way is right, there is rarely a situation of fighting to the death. And most of the time it will be a one-sided massacre, which means that once the opportunity is right, basically the enemy army is here to die, not to fight.
Because of this, in the battles between the two armies in the historical years, there were generally few situations in which the quality of the two armies was equal but they were entangled and fighting. Because when the strength is equal, the comparison is not to make mistakes, not to compare who has 85 points and who has 91 points. Therefore, it is usually based on confrontation.
When it comes to the decisive battle between the two armies, according to the backtest of historical data, there is a high probability that one side will be leeks and will be harvested by an extremely amazing exchange ratio. In layman's terms, "Lao Tzu is here to cut leeks, if you are sure that the opposite side is a soldier and not a leek, and you are full to cut, it is actually called sending".
This is the truth of the decisive battle, for example......
