Chapter 307: Kong Ming Lantern
I have to say that the more people who study Cangjun, the more scared they are.
In fact, the Cang army is terrifying, and the surprise attack can indeed cause great destruction, but the 130,000 army that destroyed the Sheng army at that time was helped by the real 10,000 Qilin army, and the surprise attack was successful when the enemy army was completely defenseless.
This time, the Jin army, both in terms of garrison strength and vigilance, is more than one grade higher than the original Sheng army, even if Wei Zhongquan dares to launch a surprise attack after crossing the river, the damage caused will not be so great.
After all, the whole camp was too big, and as soon as there was a sound, the soldiers had enough time to prepare.
After putting on his clothes, Zou Ji paused, called a personal guard, and said, "Send someone to inform Wang Zhi's army immediately, just say that the Cang army opposite our army has crossed the river, and let him prepare early." ”
"Yes!"
The guards were ordered to go out and immediately went to give orders.
The Jin army started, and Zou Ji, as the commander of the first army, also went out with the army.
Before he reached the river, Zou Ji suddenly took a cool breath.
Boy!
From a distance, there are dense boats by the river, although it is a little simple at a glance, and I don't even know if it leaks, but it is indeed connected into a large area.
It can be clearly seen that some small boats on the river are transporting war horses.
"Quick! Pass the order down, be sure not to let those war horses cross the river! Zou Ji shouted at a general beside him.
The general, who looked at him with strange eyes, could only bow his head in response, and then ran away.
It's not that this general is unwilling to go into battle, but it is obvious that everyone knows that they can't let the war horse cross the river, and there is no need for Zou Ji to talk about it.
But what can be done?
You said that if you don't let the war horse cross the river, the war horse won't cross the river?
At present, the Cang army has already established a firm foothold by the river, and only by breaking through this layer of defense of the Cang army, the army and cavalry behind will have no way to move forward.
After a while, Xun Wu arrived.
"Nonsense!"
Xun Wu jumped to his feet angrily and said hurriedly: "Now that the Cang army has gained a firm foothold, millions of troops are surrounded together, how can it be killed?" Hurry up and give the order, let the soldiers be divided into three groups, spread into three layers, and let go of the circle step by step, so that the soldiers behind have a chance to attack! ”
Zou Ji was suddenly shocked, he was already a master of the six gods at this time, how could he have any ability to command a million troops, so he hurriedly called the herald beside him: "Just according to what General Xun Wu said, go and do it immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
A team of heralds walked away, Zou Ji hurriedly bowed to Xun Wu, and said: "The general is a famous general in the world, and he is the hero of my Great Jin. ”
"Humph! Don't dare to be, a certain person is in an unofficial cloth, how dare he be a general. ”
Hearing this, Zou Ji was a little embarrassed, in fact, Xun Wu, the position of the general, was taken down, and there were also his reasons, originally Xun Wu was fighting for the throne when the princes were competing for the throne, and he single-handedly protected the current emperor, and it was precisely because of Xun Wu's statement that the current emperor had the support of the military and sat firmly on the throne.
It stands to reason that Xun Wu should be the emperor's confidant, as long as he doesn't do that rebellion, he will definitely win the holy favor.
Later, Zou Ji kept slandering, following the emperor's intentions, and kept saying bad things about Xun Wu, causing Xun Wu to be convicted for his words, and was hated by the emperor, dismissed from the post of general, and almost affected his family.
Now, Xun Wu gave him such a look, and it was not considered that he had wronged him.
Zou Ji didn't speak, of course he knew that Xun Wu was just complaining, and he couldn't lead troops to fight, but figuring out people's minds was his strength.
He knew very well that since Xun Wu had come over, he would definitely not sit idly by.
After all, no matter how the outside world slanders, this is a loyal minister of the Great Jin.
According to Xun Wu's strategy, the formation of the Jin army slowly formed.
At this time, more than half of the entire Qinglong Legion crossed the river, and the battle armor team and cavalry all crossed the river.
Wei Zhongquan's face darkened.
As soon as the opponent's formation was formed, the entire Blue Dragon Legion felt a strong pressure.
The Jin army in the rear seemed to be unable to kill, one after another, causing heavy losses to the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion in front.
In this battle of crossing the river, so far, the Blue Dragon Legion has lost 5,000 soldiers.
At present, the war is still going on, and once this battle of crossing the river is over, 10,000 soldiers will definitely be gone.
According to the proportion of the number of people on both sides, if the Jin army does not die 50,000 people, the Blue Dragon Legion will be considered a loss.
The river crossing continues, and the fighting continues.
Of course, you can't keep fighting like this.
Wei Zhongquan knows very well where his advantage is, and if this battle continues, it will become a decisive battle.
Don't look at the current Cang army with advanced weapons and cavalry and the Jin army to fight on a par with the Jin army, but after a long time, the physical strength of the soldiers will definitely not be able to keep up, and it is easy to be swarmed by the Jin army to kill the defense line, and the entire Qinglong Army may be wiped out here at that time.
"Order, the cavalry to the northeast, full assault! The crossbowmen made a feint to the northwest. Wei Zhongquan was very calm and gave the order with a blank face.
Soon, the army moved.
Fortunately, because it was prepared to cross the river, the entire army was lightly armed, and there was no large-scale baggage, and as soon as the commander ordered it out, the Qinglong Legion moved quickly, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who had not yet crossed the river were all turned their heads and drove towards the place of command.
Suddenly, a cluster of light slowly rose from the sky above the river.
"That's ...... What is it? ”
The entire Jin army of nearly a million soldiers was all curious.
I saw that on the vast river, points of light rose one after another, rising high in the sky, like dazzling stars.
"Oh, oh, oh-"
The soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion suddenly cheered one by one, as if they had received some orders, and quickly gathered together and set up different formations.
On the other hand, the Jin soldiers were dumbfounded.
That star-like thing, a cluster of fire?
How did the fire reach the sky?
Uncanny!
In addition, the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion shouted out one by one, and their voices revealed joy, which immediately made all the Jin soldiers start to beat drums in their hearts.
Isn't it, what's the trap?
The Jin army's offensive slowed down, and even Xun Wu gave an order to slow down the attack, so as not to fall into the trap of the Cang army.
"Hahaha! I really hit the trick! ”
Wei Zhongquan laughed, changing his previous seriousness, and only at this moment did he laugh with confidence.
There was a fire in the sky, others didn't know what it was, but he knew it all too well.
Kong Ming lantern!
At the beginning, when Yang Mu showed him the test of this thing, he was also frightened.
In this world, people have a mysterious worship and awe of the sky, and even more so of the things that glow in the sky.
What else can fly into the sky besides birds?
Therefore, when the Kong Ming lantern burned with fire and slowly rose into the sky, Wei Zhongquan's shock in his heart was incomparable, and he called it a miracle.
After that, he had a flash of inspiration and felt that he could apply this matter to military warfare, and use it at night or in large-scale wars to express instructions in the number of Kong Ming lanterns and use them to direct battles.
Before crossing the river, he informed all the soldiers in the army that once the Kong Ming lantern rose into the sky, it would be a formation code, and in order to create a psychological deterrent to the enemy, he must deliberately burst into excitement and joy.
