Chapter 942: Battle of Danshui
From the bottom of his heart, Feng Ying did not want to go to war with the army under the command of Wei Gongzi Ji Run at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because as far as he knew, the Wei army led by Ji Run, the son of Wei, had been cut off by the army stationed in Gao Wolf under the command of Storm Kite, cutting off the Wei army's grain and grass transportation.
Therefore, as long as this Wei army is besieged, then this Wei army will sooner or later collapse itself due to the problem of grain and grass, and there is no need to go to war at all.
It is precisely because of this that after Feng Ying led his army to Danshui in the northwest of Hyun City, he cut down forests here to build a military camp, and never thought of attacking Hyun City or the other three Wei camps.
In fact, Feng Ying was also a little helpless about this.
If other armies were to face the problem of high rations, it is believed that the morale of the sergeants and soldiers would be seriously affected, and deserters would appear one after another, or even simply surrender to other South Korean troops.
In this case, as long as Feng Ying cooperated with the two armies of Storm Kite and Jin Di, and surrounded this Wei army on three sides, he didn't even need to start a war to make this Wei army annihilate without a fight.
But there is something special about this Wei army in front of him, this Suwang army composed of Yanling Army, Shang Water Army, and Youma Army, since the Wei prince Ji Run first went out to crusade against Chu three years ago, he has never lost a battle, whether it is Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng, Jun Jingshe of Chu Shouling, Xiang Mo, the general of Chu State, and then to Sanchuan, then to the Qin army, and then to the Han army, no matter what kind of enemy this Wei army faces, it has never been defeated, which leads to the soldiers of this Wei army with a kind of blind optimism and self-confidence.
They believe that no matter what kind of enemy they face, what kind of danger they are in, in the end, victory will still be theirs.
This is worthy of the soldiers of this Wei army, who always maintain high morale and are very difficult to deal with.
This is not a "proud soldier" in the ordinary sense, to be precise, this is an army that has been cast into glory, and every Wei soldier in the army wants to do his best to maintain the undefeated legend of his own army, which is more tricky.
Of course, if it is just like this, after all, there are a series of methods for arrogant soldiers in the art of war, otherwise there will be no saying that "arrogant soldiers will be defeated".
The bad thing is that the military discipline of this Wei army is very strict, and what is even worse is that Ji Run, the son of Wei, who is the commander of the three armies, is not a commander who will be carried away by constant victories.
Therefore, although this Wei army is a "proud soldier", it is only the proud soldier of the "proud soldier", and it is an extremely difficult enemy to deal with.
The Wei army was embarrassed because they had conquered the city of Hyun, but there was a problem with food.
And the Korean army was also embarrassed, obviously it had a strategic advantage, and could have besieged this Wei army, however, this Wei army was too aggressive, so that the powerful Korean army was a little afraid to compete with it.
"The timing is so accurate......
Standing on the top of the watchtower in the camp, Feng Ying couldn't help frowning as he looked at the Wei army slowly coming from a distance.
In the past two days, when Feng Ying ordered the construction of a military camp here, he was speculating whether that Wei Gongzi Ji Run would send troops to attack.
Facts have proved that the Wei army has no intention of attacking him in the past two days, but just when Feng Ying mistakenly thought that the Wei army was ready to withdraw south, the Wei army sent troops without warning, which made Feng Ying really a little depressed.
He couldn't help but want to yell at that Wei Gongzi Ji Run: If you don't come early or late, you have to wait for our army to repair half of the camp, what does this mean?
Depressed to depressed, that Wei Gongzi Ji Run's intentions, Feng Ying can understand more or less: it is to make your bamboo basket empty, and let you invest a lot of manpower in vain.
At this time, Feng Ting's lieutenant general, Feng Ting, saw that his general had a contemplative look on his face, so he whispered: "General, why don't you withdraw the army?" …… The Wei army is just a trapped beast at the moment, and there is no need for our army to fight to the death. ”
"......" Feng Ying glanced at the deputy general Zheng Ji when he heard this.
Seeing this, Deputy General Zheng Ji immediately realized his gaffe, lowered his head and stopped talking.
It is undeniable that the current situation of the war is indeed not suitable for confrontation with the Wei army, but since the Wei army took the initiative to attack, Feng Ying could not retreat without a fight - this is based on the internal political considerations of the Korean court.
It may be that in the eyes of the Wei people, the initiators of these two Northern Xinjiang Campaigns were both South Korea, and nothing has changed, but in the eyes of Feng Ying and other Korean generals, the initiators of these two battles are different.
In the last battle of Wei and Han in northern Xinjiang, the initiator was "Hou Han Wu", so the Han general Jin Huang, who served for this prince, could become the commander-in-chief of the armies at that time.
However, it is a pity that the results of the Korean army in the last battle were not significant, although the momentum of the Korean army in the early stage of the battle was quite ferocious, and many cities of Wei were captured, but in the middle and late stages of that battle, Wei began to exert force, such as Wei general Shaohu, Wei general Jiang Wei, Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo and other famous generals of Wei State, successively participated in the northern Xinjiang war, resulting in the gradual loss of the Korean army's previous advantages.
In this regard, the great nobles in South Korea were very dissatisfied, which made the "Marquis Hanwu" lose a group of supporters in the country.
And this Northern Xinjiang Campaign, it was not like the last time that the "Marquis Han Wu" was in charge, and it involved some other factions, such as the commander-in-chief of the armies, Tyrant Kite, who was a supporter of Han Wangran.
Of course, Han Wangran actually doesn't pose much threat to the "Marquis Han Wu", after all, the contemporary Han Wang is an introverted and cowardly king, if it weren't for the support of generals such as Storm Kite and some old ministers, I am afraid that he would not even be able to sit on the throne.
The key lies in the other one, "Kang Gong Han Hu".
In terms of seniority in the royal family, "Kang Gong Han Hu" is the uncle of Han Wang Ran and "Hou Han Wu", and it is rumored that this person covets the throne and wants his son to become the king of Han.
And he, Feng Ting, as a member of the 'Hou Han Wu' line, if he made a move to retreat without a fight during this battle, even if he made a correct judgment, he would inevitably be accused and attacked by the people on the side of the 'Kang Gong Han Tiger' after the war.
Therefore, it is inevitable that he will be attacked by political enemies in the future, and Feng Ying must fight, after all, his backer "Hou Han Wu" does not have much advantage in the face of the forces of "Kang Gong Han Hu".
"Pass the order down and fight." Exhaling slightly, Feng Ying said lightly.
Hearing this, all the generals around him hugged their fists and received their orders, including the deputy general Zheng Ji, and they all got off the watchtower.
In fact, in the battalion, the soldiers of Feng Ting's army had already prepared for the attack, but Feng Ting's order to attack was not issued, so he did not leave the camp.
And now, since Feng Ying ordered an attack to fight, the soldiers opened the camp gate, came to the camp in a swarm, and set up troops in the open space outside the camp.
This time, Feng Ying brought not many troops, only about 30,000 people, of which 7,000 were cavalry, and the rest were infantry and crossbowmen.
Don't look at Feng Ting's troops are even less than the Wei army, but Feng Ting's army has 7,000 cavalry, which is a force that can turn the tide of the battle.
However, this time in the face of the Wei army in the distance, Feng Ying did not have much certainty of victory.
Because he vaguely saw a banner in the ranks of the Wei army, he could vaguely recognize the small seal of the Wei State written on this banner - 'Shangshui Swimming Horse'.
"Merchant Water Horse ...... Is that the Wei cavalry that the storm kite said that day was wearing thick armor?"
Recalling that Storm Kite had told Feng Ying that his 30,000 cavalry had been defeated in front of a merchant horse cavalry of only 5,000 men, Feng Ying felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Therefore, he did not put the 7,000 cavalry into the sortie sequence, but asked this cavalry to be ready to attack on the flank, waiting for the opportunity to move, to see if he could catch any flaws in the Wei army, so as to give the latter a fatal blow.
As for the main battlefield, Feng Ying chose a combined defense line of infantry and crossbowmen, and waited solemnly for the arrival of the Wei army.
In the distance, the Wei army gradually stopped advancing, and successively deployed troops.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun took the guards to a nearby dirt slope, climbed up and peeked at the formation of Feng Tingjun's troops, and when he saw that Feng Yingjun's main force was all infantry and crossbowmen, he smiled dumbly.
You must know that the advantage of the South Korean army lies in the strategic aspect, such as the Korean light cavalry, unless these cavalry stupidly choose to hedge with the heavy cavalry, otherwise, the Su Wang army has little to do with them - the infantry should fight the cavalry, it would be good to be able to block it, and they still hope to annihilate the other side?
The Korean swordsmen, in the mountains and forests, with their agile skills, once made the infantry of the Shangshui Army feel the pressure, at the beginning of Wangwu Mountain, if there was no assistance from the Shangshui Crow, I believe that the casualties of the Shangshui soldiers and the Korean swordsmen were about one to two.
That is, the death of two Korean light infantry can be exchanged for one Wei heavy infantry, which is a ratio that Zhao Hongrun is very dissatisfied with.
However, it was only a local battlefield, and if it was a large-scale army battle, Zhao Hongrun was confident that the sacrifice of a Wei army could be exchanged for several times or even ten times the enemy's casualties.
Why?
Because the Korean swordsmen are light infantry.
"Hey!"
With a wicked smirk, Zhao Hongrun set his eyes on the two thousand heavy horsemen in his army who were wearing heavy armor.
"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"
The three horns representing the attack sounded, the whole army of Yan Ling pressed up, and 30,000 infantry walked in relatively neat steps, approaching Feng Ting's army on the opposite side step by step.
It seems that this kind of offensive method that is comprehensively pressed at the beginning of the game surprised Feng Ting, and in addition to the surprise, it was inevitable that a little anger would swell in his heart.
Because only in the case of a sure victory, the step of testing the strength of the army with each other will be omitted, and the white-hot confrontation will be directly entered.
In other words, the Wei army in front of him did not take Han General Feng Ting's army in his eyes at all.
"Think this battle will be won? …… Isn't it too underestimated to look down on Feng, Wei Gongzirun?"
Feng Ying said secretly with an unswerving face.
I have to say that he was hated by Feng Ying for no reason, Zhao Hongrun is really a little innocent, he didn't mean to underestimate Feng Tingjun, the whole army pressed up, just to help the heavy cavalry when the time came - there is only one threat to the heavy cavalry to impact the infantry phalanx, that is, when the speed of the heavy cavalry is limited by the dense enemy infantry, the heavy cavalry itself has almost no counterattack ability, and at this time, the friendly infantry must be inserted in time to support the heavy cavalry.
Therefore, the infantry was pressed up in advance, so that the heavy cavalry could be supported as soon as possible.
At the same time, in the center of the Wei army's ranks, two thousand heavy horsemen had quickly put on heavy armor with the assistance of friendly soldiers, drove the war horses, and slowly ran out of their own team.
Towards the opposite side of the infantry phalanx of Feng Yingjun's army, which was waiting solemnly, he gradually began to speed up.
The heavy cavalry attacked the defense line of the light infantry, and Zhao Hongrun had already guessed a few points in his heart about this result.
As the saying goes: it will be a massacre!
