Chapter 312: Wei Jun is born

The Jin army has concerns, and the Cang army is similar.

After all, the enemy's three troops combined, a total of 2 million troops, with their own 400,000 troops rushed into it, a good fight is a defeat for both sides, and if a bad fight is a wave.

Historically, the defending side has an advantage, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army is one of the best in the country, and the Jin army defending the city is not a dry meal, although the Cangguo can make up for the shortcomings with weapons and equipment, but at the same time, it also weakens its own advantages to the greatest extent.

Yang Mu is seated in Shanyin County, although he doesn't know much about the art of war, he still understands this truth.

So from the beginning, he didn't put his hope on going head-to-head with the army in the country.

He focused his attention on the north.

To the north of Sanyin County, placed in the territory of the former Dong Kingdom, as we all know, the Dong Kingdom is a medium-sized country, and it is more than one grade weaker than the behemoth of the Jin Kingdom, so the Dong Country is a high wall and accumulates grain, and the Jin State side has very little pressure, and it has been negligent in arrangement.

Relatively speaking, this is the weakest line of defense in the Jin Kingdom.

Even if there are more than 500,000 troops stationed now because of Cangguo, it is still a short board in terms of fortifications.

Cangguo is looking for a breakthrough from here, which can be said to be the most advantageous.

It is precisely because of this that there is the trump card of the Qilin Legion, and the matter of going north with the Xuanwu Legion.

With Fengwen City as a breakthrough and going deep into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, it can be like a sharp knife inserted into the heart of the Jin Kingdom!

Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the 200,000 cavalry of the Qilin Army spend countless amounts of money every year, and it is enough to build two more legions at this price.

Therefore, in this war, it seems that the Blue Dragon Legion and the White Tiger Legion are the main forces, but in fact, these two legions are only to attract and contain the Jin army's strength, and the real main battlefield has to be the north.

If it weren't for an experienced veteran like Wang Zhi, no one would have noticed it at all.

It's November, and it's getting cold.

It's about to snow.

The news of the cang's ambush of the Jin army and the beheading of 200,000 still spread, although this was not the first battle of the coalition army, it was the first great victory.

The inspirational effect is obvious.

Originally, the Ten Kingdoms sent a total of 4.9 million troops, which was about the same as the strength of the Jin State, and under siege from all sides, it can be said that it still occupied a lot of advantages.

Later, due to the strategy of the Jin State to win over, or to say the strategy of discord, the State of Mang and the State of Wu each reduced their military input and divided their troops to attack the adjacent State of Shao, so the total number of troops was less than 4.5 million, which dealt a great blow to the morale of the coalition army.

The Cang army annihilated the 200,000 Jin army, and with the 400,000 army, the 1.8 million Jin army was dragged to the death, which suddenly raised the low morale a lot.

Encouraged by this, the Wei state, which had a deep hatred with the Jin state, ordered a storming of the city and vowed to regain the lost territory.

The monarchs and ministers were single-minded, and the soldiers used their lives to break out an earth-shattering battle with the Jin army in Linqiong.

The 300,000 Wei army was dispatched in two ways, one for 100,000 people to capture Linqiong, and the other for 200,000 people, and a large field battle broke out with the Jin army, plus the Linqiong defenders, the troops invested by both sides were close to 600,000.

The battle lasted for nine days, and the general was on the front line and commanded every battle.

Finally, when the first heavy snow came, two thousand cavalry were sent to raid the flank of the Jin army, severely damage the main force of the Jin army, and then besiege Linqiong and capture this important town of Zeng Wei.

It is said that on that day, the entire people of Linqiong on the Internet were boiling, beating gongs and drums to celebrate the Wei army's recovery of Linqiong, and the whole city became a sea of joy.

If you want to say why the common people reacted like this, it is inseparable from the performance of the Jin State after occupying Linqiong.

Over the ages, the Jin State has slowly grown from a small country to a hegemon, and from the first generation onwards it has pursued one proposition, that is, barbaric aggression.

As long as it is the land that has been annexed, it will first be subdued with iron and blood, and after grinding away the edges and corners of the local people, it will slowly relax the control, give preferential policies, and transform and assimilate into its own people.

That is, a slap in the face, and then a date.

This method, tried and tried, the Jin State has annexed more than 20 large and small countries in the past dynasties, and the areas annexed today, the people regard themselves as Jin people.

In fact, this is also the same reason as Cangguo's assimilation strategy.

It's just that as soon as the policy of Cangguo came out, it was a favor no matter what, and the Jin State wanted to create a difficult environment for survival through suppression, and then loosen the restrictions to give the people a sense of gain.

That's conquest.

Yang Mu also understands this truth, in his previous life, he had heard of many countries and regions, which were colonies of foreign powers in the past, and even suffered large-scale massacres, but after gaining independence, he was grateful to the colonists, and even dependent.

This is the inferior nature of people, and the Jin Kingdom is very fortunate to have successfully explored this path in the first generation, laying the foundation for it to become strong step by step.

This is also why the people of Linqiong will be extremely happy.

It's not that Wei is good, the honest people don't have a strong concept of the country, but after comparison, they will feel that it is better to be the people of Wei.

In the Battle of Linqiong, the Wei army won a great victory.

This was also the first battle of the Wei cavalry, which completely woke up the surrounding countries, especially the Jin army.

Although the cavalry of the Wei army is not much, it cannot be compared with the cavalry of Ruan State, but because it has bought a lot of cavalry weapons from Cangguo in the past two years, it is not weak.

A hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen.

In this battle, Wei raised his eyebrows.

After that, Gongsun Zhi, who tasted the sweetness, immediately ordered the march and recovered more than a dozen small cities one after another.

Finally, it was resisted by the Jin army again.

Two thousand cavalry reappeared on the battlefield.

However, this time there was no such good luck as the previous raid, and the contestant was Qin Kan, one of the five major generals of the Jin Kingdom, who directly put out a shield array, and suppressed it with spears and archers, and the two thousand cavalry were like a bite on the city wall, if it weren't for a large number of infantry legions, they might be killed and disabled.

Rao was like this, and the two thousand cavalry also lost nearly half.

This made Gongsun Zhi regret it.

Wei is also the first time to use cavalry as a military branch, he has no experience, he also knows a little, I heard that the cavalry of Cangguo is invincible every time, so it is even more unscrupulous.

Unexpectedly, the 2,000 cavalry that was finally put together cost several times the military budget of the infantry, but it was lost and sunk.

It's really the same army with different fate, the same cavalry, why is the difference so big?
