At the beginning of April of the 21st year of Hongde, with the operation and tactics of a certain His Royal Highness King Su personally named "bulldozer", Su Wang's army crossed the Linxi Plain unscathed and advanced the battle line to "Qidi". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qidi, it is divided into two parts, one of which is "Qi (Shui) Pass", this pass, the west is close to Linshu Mountain, there is "Wei River" flowing through in front of the pass, there is "Qi River" passing through after the pass, the two rivers converge in the southeast direction of Qishui Pass, and then flow into the big river in the southeast direction.

It can be said that Qiguan is surrounded by mountains on one side, and water on three sides in the north, east and south, which is a pass with natural obstacles.

Therefore, Qiguan is also known as the gateway of Handan County, because only after passing through this pass can it be regarded as truly entering the hinterland of Handan County.

As for the other part, it is "Qi County", which can also be called "Moyi". "Note: It's a song of the court."

Qi County is located on the north side of the Qi River, the southeast direction is "Huaxian", and further north is "Hebi" and "Dangyin", these Korean cities are connected with Qi Guan, and have always been the southern border of South Korea in the real sense.

However, in the past hundred years, Wei has almost never counterattacked Qi Pass, after all, for Wei, just the pass of Gongdi and Linshu Plain is not a dangerous obstacle that the Wei army can easily overcome - the plain in this area is very suitable for the Korean cavalry to exert their strength.

But this time, the Wei army pushed the battle line in front of Qiguan, which made the pressure on the Korean generals Storm Kite and Dangyin Marquis Han Yang, who led the army to Qiguan, increase dramatically.

I have to say that at this moment, many South Korean generals are still confused, and they don't understand how they can inexplicably lose control of the Linshu Plain.

Only a few Korean generals, such as Storm Kite and Han Yang, understood the reason - Wei Gonggongrun, and came up with a strategy specifically used to restrain their Korean cavalry.

Giant shield chariot, this is the name of the Korean army generals for the Wugang chariot.

As soon as this kind of chariot was mentioned, many Korean cavalry gritted their teeth with hatred.

Because in the past, even if the Wei infantry was known as "the most courageous foot soldier in the Central Plains", they still did not dare to be presumptuous in front of their Korean cavalry.

Especially in the flat plains, only their Korean cavalry played the Wei infantry, but they didn't expect that a while ago, the Wei army was equipped with a kind of "giant shield chariot", and they actually pushed this chariot to scare them.

What made the Korean cavalry even more ashamed was that they could do nothing about this giant shield chariot.

When the kind of chariot that is two zhang long, one zhang wide and four feet wide, and one zhang five feet high, is spliced side by side, it is simply an insurmountable high wall.

The problem is that this kind of chariot is so heavy that even if they risk their lives to rush forward, it is difficult to shake this chariot - what is worse is that there are many sharp spears in front of this chariot, so that the Korean soldiers who risk their lives to crash into it are often poked to death by those sharp spears before they can touch the chariot itself.

What's even more odious is that the despicable Wei crossbowmen still hid behind the huge shield on the chariot one by one, shooting arrows from the shooting hole, while the arrows shot by their Korean cavalry were almost all blocked by the giant shield chariot, and they couldn't hurt the Wei crossbowmen behind the giant shield at all.

Close combat and long-range shooting could not effectively shoot the Wei soldiers, and for the Korean cavalry, they could not even get close to those giant shield chariots.

However, those despicable Wei soldiers laughed one by one and pushed the giant shield chariot, taunting and provoking their Korean cavalry while slowly advancing forward.

In this case, the Korean cavalry had to retreat, and they had never suffered such humiliation.

But even if the anger in their chests almost ignited the blood in their bodies, they were helpless against the Wei soldiers who had the giant shield chariot.

In a head-to-head confrontation, it is obviously not an opponent, but if it is a roundabout attack, those despicable Wei soldiers will quickly line up the giant shield chariot into a square gate formation, which is simply a turtle shell covered with barbs, not to mention that it will not be damaged for the time being, and it will hurt his own hand.

However, this is not the most hateful and despicable part of the Wei soldiers, the most hateful and despicable thing about these people is that after they use this huge shield chariot to open the way, they will quickly repair defensive strongholds in the rear, and a low wall that even their Korean cavalry cannot cross, gradually compressing the area of activity of their Korean cavalry.

Whenever they saw those despicable Wei soldiers hiding behind those giant shield chariots and laughing at them, the Korean cavalry was angry in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to shout: "You guys come out!" What kind of hero is hiding behind a chariot?!

Of course, these were the mood of the Korean cavalry, and as for commanders such as Storm Kite and Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, they saw more, for example, they noticed that every time the Wei army advanced some distance, they would build temporary ports along the river (big river) in the area.

Subsequently, the ships of the Wei State transporting supplies would also stop at the new port to unload the supplies.

The bricks and stones used by the Wei soldiers to repair the strongholds and low walls were all transported in this way.

Speaking of which, South Korea also has a naval army, although it is not as good as the Julu naval army of Qi State, but it can also gather some warships to form a naval army.

It's a pity that the Wei army also has a kind of heavy crossbow called 'repeater', the kind of crossbow that is half a zhang long and as thick as a finger, and a single crossbow can sink a warship.

This is the bloody lesson that Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, learned when he lost more than a dozen warships: the crossbow technology of the Wei State was no less than that of the Lu State.

After all, at present, the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu, and Wei are still in a state of alliance, and even according to the news obtained from the detailed investigation, Lu and Wei are still secretly repairing a "Lianglu Canal" to further strengthen the connection between Wei, Wei, Lu and Qi.

Today, the four kingdoms of Wei, Wei, Lu, and Qi are the "Four Kingdoms Lianheng" in the eyes of the Han court, which is already a powerful force enough to dominate the Central Plains.

This is also the reason why Korea raised troops to attack Wei again in the autumn of that year after losing the first "Wei-Han Northern Frontier Campaign".

Because the former overlord of the Central Plains and the king of Qi, Lü Xi, has died, the state of Qi is currently in a civil strife war between the princes for the throne, and its power over Korea has plummeted; In the case of the loss of Lü Xi, the king of Qi, Lu was not enough to pose a threat to Korea on its own; Needless to say, in the eyes of South Korea, it is just a small and weak country.

Only the Wei state, which has risen strongly in recent years, defeated the Chu state twice, then made the Yin Rong of Sanchuan County submit, and then annihilated the 200,000 troops of the Qin state, a country that was once a defeated general under the hands of Korea, has become more and more powerful in recent years.

In this case, due to the death of King Lu Xi of Qi, the position of the alliance leader will definitely be tilted towards Wei without any suspense, so Korea must hit Wei hard at this time anyway, otherwise, once Wei becomes a force, Wei Weiluqi Four Kingdoms will seriously threaten them Korea.

Unexpectedly, the second battle of Wei and Han in northern Xinjiang did not take long to put their South Korea at a disadvantage, and the entire Shangdang County fell not to mention for the time being, the Wei army actually counterattacked their Handan County in South Korea and pushed the battle line all the way to Qiguan.

In this case, whether it was the violent kite or the Dangyin Marquis Han Yang, or the rest of the generals, they all felt the pressure doubled.

They could not imagine what it would be like if the Wei army broke through the Qishui Pass, when the time came, the Wei army would be able to drive straight into and attack Handan, the royal capital of their Korea.

"No matter what, we must defeat the Wei army in this Qishui Pass!"

At the military council in the Qishui Guan Building, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, said impassionedly.

But after listening to his words, the generals present were silent.

I have to say that in the past few years, they have been hit hard by the Wei army.

I remember that when I heard that Shangdang County was captured by the Su Wang Army under Wei Gongzi Run's command a while ago, these generals here still gloated and secretly laughed: What Beiyuan Ten Hao, three Beiyuan Shihao, were actually beaten by a Wei Gongzi and fled, throwing away their armor.

And now, they have finally understood the strength of this Wei army and the strategy of that Wei Gongzirun.

The other side just designed a chariot and a tactic, so that their powerful cavalry in Korea was useless, and their position on the battlefield was inferior to that of infantry.

It may be that seeing that all the generals present were silent, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, set his eyes on the violent kite, hoping that he would come forward to say a few words and cater to his words.

Seeing this, the storm kite groaned for a while, and said: "What Lord Dangyin Hou said is extremely true, Qi Pass is the gateway to Handan, if this pass is lost, the Wei army can drive straight forward, so no matter what, we must keep the Wei army out of Qi Pass." …… As for the strategy of defending against the enemy, I have a few suggestions to discuss with you. ”

After a pause, Storm Kite Zhengse said: "The terrain of Qiguan is dangerous, facing mountains on one side and surrounded by water on three sides, even if it is the elite army of Wei under the command of Wei Gongzirun, it will not be able to conquer this place in a short time. I guess that it is very likely that the Wei army will cross the Qi River to fight "Huaxian", and then attack "Dangyin" and bypass our "Qi Pass", so I suggest that the troops be stationed in "Huaxian" and build a defense on the east bank of the Qi River to prevent the Wei army from crossing the river. ”

His methodical words made all the generals of the South Korean army present nod again and again: This is indeed the safest way at present.

So on the same day, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, divided half of his troops to Huaxian, and took the lead in building a defense in the area of Huaxian while the Su Wangjun army had not yet gained a foothold on the south bank of the Wei River in front of Qiguan.

However, all this could not be hidden from the eyes of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and as soon as the Qiguan defenders moved, the news had already reached Zhao Hongrun's ears by the crows.

"It seems that the Korean army has considered that I may attack Huaxian...... Not bad. ”

After hearing the news, Zhao Hongrun smacked his lips and said meaninglessly.

In fact, he also had some regret in his heart, because his army had not yet built a barracks on the southwest bank of the Wei River, otherwise he could have sent it to attack Huaxian.

At this time, the head of the sect guard, Wei Jiao, who was clear about his Royal Highness's strategic intentions, frowned and asked, "Your Highness, will you still send troops to attack the county?" ”

Zhao Hongrun took a breath, pondered for a moment, frowned and said slowly: "Huaxian is going to fight, Qiguan, it's also going to be fighting...... Since our army is going to attack the royal capital of Korea, how can we keep this nail? ”

"But the terrain of Qiguan is dangerous, and I am afraid it will not be easy to attack." Zong Wei Lu Mu interjected on the side.

Zhao Hongrun nodded when he heard this, then stretched his brows and said with a smile: "It's okay, ask the soldiers to build the well car." …… Since the Koreans think that Qi Pass is a dangerous pass, then let's fight Qi Pass first! ”

When he said this, Zhao Hongrun smiled secretly in his heart.

If you already have cement, how can you care about a mere river?
