Chapter 18 Zhao Kuo of the State of Chu
A fire burned away Yun Yue's past, and Yun Yue broke with her past self.
The feeling of splitting was very uncomfortable, and Yun Yue felt as if she was being torn apart. In front of everyone's eyes, it fell down softly like a shrimp.
One slept was three days, sleeping in the dark. It's weird that I didn't dream, I just slept like that.
When Wang Jian saw Yun Yue again, Yun Yue was eating millet porridge, and she ate five fist-sized buns in a row. The beard was shaved and the hair was shaved bald.
Wang Jian was very puzzled by the fact that the Yun family liked to shave their heads, and at first it was shaved by the bearded sword knights. Later, people who developed to Pingliang liked to shave their heads. In the Warring States period, the parents of the body hair and skin are very marketable if they cannot be damaged. The promotion of head shaving in Xianyang will provoke popular unrest. If it is promoted in the Qin army, it will be killed by Qiu Ba.
There is no way to talk to Wang Jian about hygiene, battlefield treatment and other issues. Yun Yue didn't bother to say, anyway, there were no lice on Lao Tzu's head. Whoever gets bitten knows!
"Have you eaten it?" Yun Yue knew that this old boy must have come to eat. These days, it's really hard for him. Iron Eagle Ruishi eats pig food, although he has improved a lot with the Yun family. But the soldiers eat, how can it be as delicious as Yunyue's here.
"I didn't eat it, hehe!" Wang Jian ignored the fact that he had eaten more than a dozen steamed buns and immediately sat down. Patted the table to tie the pillar to get the bun.
"What's the movement of the Chu people?" Yun Yue drank a bowl of millet porridge and asked.
"Someone came yesterday, saying that Li Yuan sent him. said that it was the son of Chun Shenjun, what was Huang Zhan's. With 10,000 forbidden troops, they are coming to find our mold. I heard that he also made a military order with the king of Chu, saying that he wanted to take your and my heads back to ask for merit. The fist-sized bun entered Wang Qian's mouth, as if it had entered a bottomless pit. It didn't seem to chew, so it fell straight in.
"Sooner or later, let's kill the people of Chu. occupied the city of Chu. As long as King Kaoli is still a gentleman, he will have to fight with us. It was a necessity to be a king, and he had no choice. Yun Yue took a sip of millet porridge and sandwiched a chopstick pickle. The calm appearance calmed down the somewhat flustered bolt pillar.
"Have we calculated our battle damage?" Since Qimei's death, Yun Yue has not taken care of the affairs of the team.
"Worked it out. Seven hundred and eighty-three people died. More than 200 were wounded, most of them were drivers, grooms and accompanying servants. Several medical officers also died, and now people are dying every day in the wounded barracks. Damn, the Wei people actually came with us to do this. If you hadn't come up with the idea of using oxen to charge into battle, we'd be in trouble. ”
Yun Yue straightened her teeth, and there was already a team of more than 3,000 people. Reduced by one-third of the staff at once, and those medical officers were all brought out of Pingliang by themselves. There are a few apprentices in it who are very optimistic about Bian Que, how can they explain to the old guy when they go back.
"And that's not even the worst news. The vehicle was badly damaged. The cow that pulled the cart became a roast cow. Ox carts, even the contents of the ox carts were thrown in Wei Realm. Everything else is easy to say, crossbow arrows, bows, and weapons have nowhere to replenish. What the hell, my boys. Now it's all with big wooden sticks......! You can't take this thing and fight with the elite of the Chu army.
But there is also good news, don't look at this small Yecheng. But there was a small munitions depot, and Lao Tzu went to see it. The crossbow bolts don't match ours. Bows and arrows can be used. Cheap your killers! "The Qin army likes to use crossbows, because Qin crossbows have a long range and are highly lethal. The bolts don't match. Those Iron Eagle Sharps under Wang Jian naturally can't be used. There is no problem with bows and arrows, although the shaft of the arrows in the Chu State is a little shorter, but they can be used even later.
Forget about the weapons, there are only three hundred Chu troops. There are not many swords, even the long halberd and other things.
"Fuck it back to your guys. What the hell is that knife made of? I've tried, and I didn't even cut six long swords without a curl blade. Can you send me? Wang Jian started the idea of Yunyue's war knife, for the general, the knife is the guy who eats. Speaking of this, Wang Qian's eyes were full of longing.
"My knife is not suitable for horse fighting. Wait for ......" Yun Yue saw Wang Qian's expectant eyes, and swallowed the words in her stomach. turned around and took the combat knife with him, and handed it directly to Wang Qian.
The Japanese war knife is derived from the horizontal knife, and the saber created by Yun Yue is based on the Damascus scimitar. For cavalry, the curved blade of the latter inflicted greater wounds on the enemy.
"It's too late to forge a sword, I'll design a hoop for you to build. Let's put it on the sand to make a mace, which is better than a big bare wooden stick. "The mace is a spike in the front. And it is a circular blow, and there are no dead ends in all directions. It can be called a must-have product for home travel.
Counting the days, Yun Yue still has at least ten days to prepare. Yun Yue smiled, an army of 10,000 gentlemen. Give yourself ten days to prepare, do these guys still have a way to live?
Yun Yue has become a commander again, a calm and unchanging commander. The news of the attack of the Chu army has spread all over the military camp. Almost everyone felt that they could not defeat the elite of the Chu army, which was five times their size. But Yunyue has this kind of magical power, patting the recruit's shoulder. Sit down and chat with the veterans, and go to the wounded barracks to offer condolences. At noon, I had a meal with the killers, and the soldiers felt at ease when they saw their own marquis. Instinctively, he felt that he would not abandon himself and flee in danger like those nobles did.
In such a dangerous situation as the Wei State, Yunhou did not escape. What kind of effort is there to escape now, with Yunhou with you, you will definitely kill those Chu people like slaughtering chickens.
In just a few days, Daqin Ruishi's state stabilized. There were two more bronze hoops under the saddle, and no one rode a bare horse anymore. With this thing on your feet, it's like having a foundation. Run, no longer afraid of being knocked to the ground by horses.
As for the Yun family's killing talents, they had already been sent out by Yun Yue to explore the terrain within a radius of 100 miles. Pre-war reconnaissance is the most important part of Yun Yue's little military knowledge.
The mace was made, and a bronze hoop was set in front of the huge wooden stick. It's covered with spikes, and even if you hang it, you can bring down two taels of meat.
The craftsmen were rushing to make crossbow arrows, and Wang Qian's men grabbed a lot of laborers in the city. If you don't make enough 10,000 crossbow arrows a day, you won't be given food.
Some were repairing the carriages, some were rearing their armor. The entire Yecheng was busy, regardless of whether the Chu people wanted it or not. They were all tied to the Yun family's chariot by Yun Yue.
Huang Zhan was a little complacent, and the Huang family finally seized the military power, the coveted military power. Ever since Huang Xie reigned in Great Chu, King Kaoli had consciously or unintentionally alienated him from the army. This time, there was really no way, Xiang Yan was restrained by Du Bi in Shangcai. The cunning fellows were reluctant to fight, and now the only thing left was for the newborn calf to try.
"Tell the striker not to rush in. The scout is ten miles away, and Yun Yue is good at treacherous tricks. Let's not follow his way. Huang Zhan was in the Chinese army, looking at the winding team under his command. My heart is happy, how can I get a general when I go back this time.
Looking at the guards behind him, his confidence was even stronger. The state of Chu is located in the south, and it generally lacks the high-headed horses of the north. However, King Kaolie still formed a cavalry, and the state of Chu belonged to fire. That's why these cavalry were called fire cavalry. Each of them wore red armor and a bright red cloak behind them.
These thousand people were all selected from the palace guards. Everyone is a son of a wealthy family, although he has never been on the battlefield like Huang Zhan, he is also very famous.
With such men, the number of troops is three times that of the opponent. (Because of information asymmetry, Huang Zhan did not know Yun Yue's casualty figures at this time.) As long as you fight steadily, recovering Yecheng is a breeze.
If Yun Yue's kid knew each other, he would have fled to the Wei realm. Naturally, there was Wei Wushu waiting for him there, but it was better to stay in the Chu State. After all, the promotion and knighthood all depend on him and Wang Qian's head.
It turns out that Huang Zhan is not incompetent. Although it was all the territory of Chu along the way, this guy was widely scouted. When camping at night, it is also surrounded by mountains and rivers. There is no local combat at all, that kind of slackness!
The closer he got to Yecheng, the more cautious Huang Zhan became. The marching speed was slow and slow, and the physical strength of the soldiers was always kept from excessive wear.
"This kid is a character, and he doesn't look as fancy as Li Yuan said." There are still fifty miles away from Yecheng, and Huang Zhan set up camp. Yun Yue stood at the top of the mountain, holding a telescope in her hand, and couldn't help but praise.
"How many of them come out of the big family. Who hasn't been forced by his family to practice martial arts since he was a child, and the more prominent the family, the more severely persecuted, Xungui may be the most crisis-minded group of people in this world. Wang Jian, who grew up in a noble family, sighed.
Ordinary people can afford to lose, and that's because they have nothing. The nobles can't afford to lose, and once they lose their rights, it will be the end of their death. It is said that there are few nobles in their families, but there are not many who are really good.
"I don't know about anyone else, at least not this kid. And it's a tough opponent, just look at the camping position. It's not easy! Li Yuan also said that it was Zhao Kuo, and I think it is thousands of times stronger than Zhao Kuo. Wang Jian took the telescope and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not necessarily better than Zhao Kuo, you should be Zhao Kuo who wants to give up Lian Po's strategy. That's because there was no way, and the two sides were at a stalemate on the battlefield for two years. Zhao's national strength can't withstand such a consumption at all, I'm afraid that Qin was also at the end of its power at that time.
Poor Zhao Kuo was also forced by King Huiwen, so he couldn't wait to find the enemy for a decisive battle. As a commander, he is qualified, after all, he can charge into battle with arrows and stones. Not a coward who abandoned his men and fled on his own.
All right! I've seen it today, and every day we will have a battle with this Chu State Zhao Kuo. If we win this battle, we will have everything. This time, Lao Tzu won't go back to Daqin, let's have a good time in the Six Kingdoms. Yun Yue put down the binoculars, turned over and went down the mountain. (To be continued.) )
