Chapter 708: Killing Two Birds with One Stone at the End of the Item
"Kill!"
With the orders of Zongwei Lu Mu and Mu Qing, thousands of Wei troops slaughtered out of Hao County and attacked the thousands of Chu troops who had crossed the Hun River to the north bank of the Hun River. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, Zhao Hongrun's honest sect guard Chu Heng finally showed his irresistible side of bravery, only to see him holding a thick iron spear with both hands, sweeping left and right, but all the Chu soldiers who were swept by his iron spear were almost all broken bones, and fell to the ground wailing and screaming.
In this regard, Zong Wei Zhou Pu secretly shook his head, and ordered: "Shoot the arrow!" ”
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of Wei soldiers behind him immediately opened the crossbow box of the Lu State organ placed on the chariot, only to see that the crossbow box kept spitting out crossbow arrows, and any Chu army within its attack distance was instantly dealt a devastating blow.
After waiting for a box of crossbow arrows to be fired, there were few Chu soldiers still alive in front of Zhou Pu.
Obviously, there is a more labor-saving way, but it is still ...... What a stupid big guy.
Glancing at the Zongwei Chu Heng who was still fighting in the distance, Zhou Pu secretly shook his head, and gave the general order with a cold face: mend the knife and recover the crossbow arrow.
In just half an hour, the thousands of Chu soldiers who crossed the Hun River using the Wei army's pontoon bridge and came to the north bank of the Hun River had all been killed by the Wei army in Gongxian County.
Moreover, because of the use of the war weapons of the Lu State, the casualties on the Wei army's side were simply negligible.
From beginning to end, the Guling army on the south bank of the Hun River was unable to support Tongze on the north bank because of the relationship between the Hun River, and they only shot a few arrows from a distance at best, but unfortunately for the Wei army, it was not painful.
Half an hour later, after the Wei army had recovered the crossbow arrows, they began to clean up the battlefield, using wagons to transport the corpses on the ground and find a place to burn and bury them.
"This Xiong Wu is really upright......"
On the gate tower of the southern city wall of Xuanxian County, Zhao Hongrun witnessed this battle, and he was quite ridiculous.
Although he learned that Guling Jun Xiong Wu led an army to attack Xuanxian, he still retained the intention of the pontoon bridge, just to use this pontoon bridge to make a small calculation of Xiong Wu.
Unexpectedly, the process was so smooth that Zhao Hongrun was a little skeptical, wondering if Xiong Wu had some tricks.
But after careful consideration, Zhao Hongrun finally came to the conclusion: Guling Jun Xiong Wu is really too upright.
To say it nicely is to be upright, but to say it ugly, it's just a tendon and no brains - there is a pontoon bridge in front of you, you dare to come? If there's a pit in front of you, will you jump in?
I've never seen such an upright person.
Zhao Hongrun shook his head with a smile.
At the same time, Guling Jun Xiongwu, who was on the south bank of the Hun River, was iron-faced.
In all fairness, Guling Jun Xiong Wu will naturally not be a "upright" person as Zhao Hongrun thinks, he will just be wrong.
He originally thought that the existence of the pontoon bridge was Zhao Hongrun's arrogance and did not take him seriously, but the fact was that he completely thought too much.
"What a scumbag!"
Seeing that the army under his command on the north bank of the Hun River was slaughtered by the Wei army, and he could not help much on the south bank, Guling Jun Xiong Wu clenched his fists, and his heart was full of indignation.
And beside him, Ji Hong, the general under Guling Jun Xiong Wu, looked as usual.
After all, it was only a few thousand casualties among the Chu soldiers, and this kind of loss could not be regarded as a major event at all in the Chu State.
However, through these soldiers, Ji Hong learned about the general strength of the Wei army in Haoxian County and several war weapons, which was not a loss in Ji Hong's opinion.
In fact, under the command of Guling Jun Xiong Wu, there are by no means a few generals who think like Ji Hong.
After all, in the state of Chu, the soldiers are equivalent to cannon fodder, and the regular army may be better, but on the side of the private army, they deliberately let the soldiers under their command go to death, so as to find out the general strength of the enemy army, which is also the usual method used by many generals of the Chu State.
Because of this, when Guling Jun Xiong Wu gave the order to order the thousands of Chu soldiers to cross the river, even if Ji Hong and other generals knew that the Wei army must be cheating, they did not stop it.
But right now, Guling Jun Xiong Wu is so angry that his whole face is flushed, and Ji Hong can no longer stand idly by.
So, he opened his mouth and said with relief: "Childe doesn't have to be angry, even if Na Ji Run is asked to play tricks and earn the lives of thousands of soldiers of our army, our army still has an absolute advantage in terms of strength...... On the other hand, Wei Jun's move has exposed some information. ”
He is not wrong when he says this, because if Zhao Hongrun hid those war weapons of the Lu State, and did not take them out until Guling Jun Xiongwu crossed the Hun River and officially attacked Gongxian County, then it is no exaggeration to say that the losses of the Guling army are several times more than now.
But right now, the generals under the command of Guling Jun Xiong Wu have learned that there are weapons of war in the city of Lu, so they will naturally be vigilant.
"Is that so?" Guling Jun Xiong Wu frowned slightly, his face was slightly pale, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Gongxian County, and said in a deep voice: "Ji Hong, how many days can you conquer Gongxian?" ”
"This ......"
Ji Hong hesitated slightly, and it seemed that he didn't dare to pack the ticket, after all, for the vast majority of Chu army generals, the war weapons of the Lu State were indeed a great threat.
If the Wei army didn't have those things, Ji Hong would probably swear that he could conquer Hao County in a few days, and as for now, Ji Hong would not dare to boast about this Haikou.
After thinking about it, he clenched his fists and said: "Childe, what the Wei army of Haoxian County relies on is nothing more than the danger of the Huhe River and the war weapons of the Lu State...... The last general suggested that we should wait step by step, first build a pontoon bridge to cross the Hun River, and then set up a camp on the north bank, as long as our army has a firm foothold on the north bank, those Wei troops in Xuan County are not enough to worry about. …… The capture of this city is just around the corner. ”
Guling Jun Xiong Wu thought about it and finally nodded.
So, holding back his anger, he led his army to slowly retreat several miles back, preparing to build tools to cross the river.
I have to say that Ji Hong's suggestion is not wrong, and it is very pertinent, the only problem is that the Wei army in Haoxian County will watch the Chu army build a pontoon bridge to cross the Hu River and set up a camp on the north bank of the Hu River?
How could Zhao Hongrun sit back and watch this matter.
You must know that he now has so little troops in his hands, as Ji Hong said, almost all of them rely on the danger of the Huhe River and the war weapons of the Lu State, in this case, how can he easily let the army of Guling Jun Xiongwu cross the river safely?
As for today, the reason why the pontoon bridge is kept is, in the final analysis, nothing more than playing with Xiongwu.
If Xiong Wu is tricked, Zhao Hongrun doesn't mind earning thousands of troops of the Chu army first, after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.
"Your Highness, the Chu army has retreated."
On the tower of the southern city of Xuanxian County, Zongwei Changwei Jiao saw the Chu army on the other side of the river slowly retreating, and turned his head to Zhao Hongrun and said.
"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun responded, and then said with a smile: "Xiong Wu, nine times out of ten, it is to retreat to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river...... As he spoke, he turned his head to several generals around him and said: "Send people to keep an eye on the river day and night, beware of this Chu army sneaking to use the pontoon bridge to sneak here." ”
"Yes!" Several nearby generals clenched their fists and said.
To tell the truth, although there were 80,000 troops under the command of Guling Jun Xiongwu, neither Zhao Hongrun nor the Wei troops up and down the county were afraid of this army.
It's not because the Guling Army is a private army, but because there is a danger of the Hun River in Gongxian County.
As long as the pontoon bridge of the Guling Army is destroyed every time, even if the Guling Army has 80,000 people, what threat can it pose to Xuan County?
In contrast, Zhao Hongrun was more concerned about the battle situation on the side of the Fencheng army.
You must know that since a few days ago, after the combined forces of the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei forcibly crossed the Huhe River together, Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State stationed in Fangzhong, began to attack the mountain passes and key roads held by the Fencheng army one after another.
Although Zhao Hongrun had already transported part of the weapons of the Lu War to the Fencheng army and handed them over to the general Xu Yin, every time he thought that this Wei army, which was only 15,000, would face an army of 500,000 at the end of the year, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but think nonsense.
Compared with the 80,000 people of Guling Jun Xiongwu, the 50 troops at the end of Xiang are the henchmen of Hao County.
Fortunately, the food and grass in Xiang Mo's hands were insufficient, not enough to supply the huge number of soldiers, otherwise, the 500,000 army would be pressed together, even if it was Zhao Hongrun, he didn't know how to resist.
Just a few days later, as Zhao Hongrun predicted, the threat of Guling Jun Xiongwu to Xuan County was simply negligible.
Because in these few days, Guling Jun Xiong Wu had organized two plans to forcibly cross the Huhe River, but unfortunately, the pontoon bridge that these Chu soldiers worked hard to build, as long as the Lu country's catapult was used to release a few stone bullets, the pontoon bridge could be easily destroyed.
In this regard, Guling Jun Xiong Wu almost crushed his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless.
However, on the 19th of September, the crows who had gone to the west to spy on them suddenly brought back bad news.
And this bad news made Zhao Hongrun's face change suddenly.
"What? At the end of the item, build a dam around the room bell to surround the fish? ”
"Yes, Your Highness. …… Xiang Mo tried to catch fish in the river to make up for food consumption. The ravens replied respectfully.
On the side, Zong Wei Changwei saw Zhao Hongrun's gloomy face, so he said suspiciously: "Your Highness, there are 500,000 soldiers at the end of the Xiang, and the daily consumption of grain is countless, how can it be made up by building a dam and encircling fish?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and said, "I know." …… However, Xiang Mo was damming upstream for fishing, and the water level in Haoxian County was greatly affected......
"Huh?" Wei Jiao was stunned, and then suddenly realized, his face became a little unsightly.
You must know that at the moment, it is all relying on the Huhe River to block the army of Guling Jun Xiongwu, but if the water level of the Hun River drops, doesn't this mean that the Guling army does not need to use pontoon bridges to cross the Hun River directly?
Is this still worth it?
The last ...... Is this crooked, or is it deliberate?
Turning his head to look at the west window, Zhao Hongrun's brows furrowed deeply.
If it's just the former, then it's fine, but if it's the latter, then this item is a bit scary.
A general who can not only reverse his own disadvantage, but also create opportunities for friendly forces, is definitely the most terrifying existence on the battlefield.
"Go find out the specific location of the dam built by Xiang Mo, as well as the situation of the Chu army stationed in that area! …… Make this a top priority. ”
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The crows clenched their fists and left. (To be continued.) )
