Chapter 700: The Formation of Doubts (First Update)
Yuan Muchun has not only heard of the fact that the defenders are in the barracks, taking advantage of the environment, weather, and terrain to skillfully set up a chain of traps to defeat the enemy. Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest update
The other side often takes advantage of the darkness of night or special circumstances to vacate the large camp and ambush the main army outside the barracks.
Without the knowledge of the enemy, the whole army entered the camp, not only encountered a series of traps and suffered heavy losses, but also was surrounded by the main army lurking outside, surrounded from all sides, and killed in all directions.
This is a contest between encirclement and counter-encirclement, the attacking side, in an unknowing state, often causes double casualties, and the losses are very large.
In Yuan Muchun's memory, Emperor Yan won twice, all relying on this simple method, killing no enemy armor and killing the whole army.
At this moment, Ju Wentai and Xing Yike concocted the same method, relying on the weather, so they set up a suspicious formation, but in fact, the military camp must be empty, but there are ambushes on all sides, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
If he didn't realize the danger and led the troops to kill him unceremoniously, not to mention the serial traps in the barracks, he would also be surrounded by Yike and Ju Wentai from the periphery, and he might be surrounded and annihilated.
Their plan to encircle and annihilate the Zheng army will befall the Song army precisely and will inevitably cause immeasurable losses.
The tactics deployed by him, Song Qi, and Meng Kuo suffered heavy losses in the first battle, which is unimaginable.
So, withdraw as the best policy, figure out the situation, and then come back and kill the Quartet!
At the sound of an order, the army quickly withdrew!
The former army became the rear army. The rear army becomes the leader! No one dares to stay long!
The rear sergeant could not see the situation in the barracks, it was not clear, why he suddenly evacuated, but the former sergeant saw it clearly, the previous pathfinder forward troops, the death was miserable, if they continued to advance steadily, it was very likely that they were ambushed by the Zheng army.
Yuan Muchun returned to the rear army with the trapped camp and joined the two armies of Song Qi and Mengkuo, which immediately aroused the doubts of Song Qi and Mengkuo, and Yuan Muchun told the two of them about the possibility of the matter.
Hearing this, Song Qi and Meng Kuo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly sighed that Ike and Ju Wentai were really veterans of a hundred battles, cunning and insidious.
However, soon Meng Kuo's palm slapped heavily on his thigh and shouted, "It's not good, we were deceived by Ju Wentai and Xing Yike?"
"What does General Meng mean?" Song Qi asked, Yuan Muchun also stared at Meng Kuo, obviously there were serial traps in the military camp, how could he be deceived by Zheng Jun?
Meng Kuo pondered for a moment, and said aloud: "Do the opposite, think backwards, you must understand." According to Ju Wentai, Xing Yike is smart, and he will definitely guess that we are going to attack while the fog is coming, if they expected, we did take advantage of the fog to attack, then, since they guessed that we have made a move, they must have their own plans, I guess, they may be in the military camp, create an illusion, form a series of traps, and cause the Song army to panic, in fact, at this time, the main force of the Zheng army took the opportunity to transfer! ”
"Last night's fog, Zheng Jun evacuated, properly planned, and he would definitely be able to leave quietly in our sight, but why do you want to set up a series of traps in the barracks, isn't this a snake to add to it?" Adjutant General Zhan Zhiyao asked puzzledly, I don't understand what the purpose of Zheng Jun's actions is?
Song Qi, Yuan Muchun and the deputy generals present did not know the meaning of Meng Kuo's words, and stared at him one by one, waiting for him to give an answer.
"It's very simple, delay time, frontal battlefield, Zheng Jun is afraid that he is not our opponent, I think Ju Wentai and Xing Yike must know in their hearts that if Zheng Jun withdraws and is detected by the Song army, he will inevitably not be able to escape the pursuit of the mechanical army, so the only way to make a mystery is to set up a suspicious array and delay time!" Meng Kuo said confidently, after speaking, he didn't stay long, quickly paid the account, and led the mechanical army that was on standby for the morning, towards the Zheng army camp.
Yue Yancheng is not very far from the Zheng army camp, using machinery to transport soldiers, almost half an hour, Meng Kuo led the army to arrive at the Zheng army camp, regardless of the possibility of setting up a series of traps in the military camp, hundreds of bicycles, like moving mountains, directly crushed into the Zheng army camp.
Such an arrogant and domineering attack tactic rarely appears in the war of the vassal states, and this time, Meng Kuo was also forced to do so.
After all, it is difficult to predict whether there is a chain of traps in the barracks, and if not, if there is, it will definitely cause a lot of casualties if there is an order for the soldiers to use their flesh and blood to forcibly attack.
In the previous battle, the Song army was defeated several times and suffered many casualties, and in the next war, he was ready to minimize casualties.
The chariot moved forward, full of destructive power, strong and tall body, and when it first entered, it encountered a series of traps on the outskirts of the barracks, and was attacked by arrows and guns.
These things, if they hurt the soldiers, will definitely cause very serious casualties, but there is no way to help the treadmills made of good wood, those simple but deadly chain traps are directly crushed, and even the empty military tents on all sides are directly razed to the ground.
Passing through the outer traps and breaking into the big tent, there was no trap, only a few Zheng Jun who blocked it, and almost without any accident, he was directly shot by the spear shot by the three-bow bed crossbow on the top of the treadmill.
In a short time, the mechanized troops crossed the Zheng army's tent and almost completely destroyed the camp. Meng Kuo confirmed the conjecture in his heart, Xing Yike and the two were really suspicious, and took the opportunity to evacuate, he did not dare to delay, and hurriedly led the army towards Shiyan City, where Zheng Jun was very likely to hide.
According to his understanding, the high walls of Shiyan City are thick, and the defense is extremely strong, and after the Zheng army retreats, it is very likely that they will choose to enter Shiyan City and defend the city, which is easy to form an effective defense.
After sending spies to inform Song Qi and Yuan Muchun, Meng Kuo led the mechanical troops and went straight to Shiyan City.
Expecting that the other party might retreat to Shiyan City and refuse to defend the city, this time, it was in the arms of the Song army, and attacking the city may be one of the best tactics of the mechanical army.
Cloud ladders, siege towers, stone throwers, knife carts and other various city-capturing ordnance were fully rolled out, and the high and thick city walls were no different from walking on the ground in the eyes of the Song army.
It was only a matter of time before the capture of Shiyan City and the heavy damage to the Yan army.
The rapid march for more than an hour, the dense fog gradually dissipated, the warm sunlight sprinkled on the ground, the visible range is very wide, Meng Kuo stood on the top of the pedal led by the head, looked into the distance, and could see the stone rock city standing in the east.
Under the rock city, Xing Yike had already entered the city with all the troops, and saw the gradually approaching receiving army in the distance, rolling in the dust, and in the stone rock city, a sharp bull's horn sounded.
Soon spread throughout the city, and all of a sudden, the city walls were quickly in turmoil.
Shiyan City is also called Rock City, as the name suggests, the city wall is built with thick rocks, it is rumored that in order to build this city, the people of Zheng Guo transported a large number of indestructible rocks from Taimu Mountain, hundreds of miles away, and it took ten years to build this city.
After the completion of this city, in hundreds of years of war, no matter how bad Zheng Guo's situation was, Shiyan City was never captured.
At the same time, Seokam Castle and Yueyan Castle on the west line, Taeam Castle on the east, and are called the tallest and strongest cities in the west of Nakyi.
Perhaps, Shiyan City is not as tall as the Taiyan City wall in the east, and there is no Yueyan City on the west line, and the city is vast, but it is the strongest among the three cities.
Last night, after Xing Yike and Ju Wentai discussed, the two chose to form a defense in Shiyan City to block the Song army, which was by no means without thought.
Compared with other cities, Shiyan City is very strong, the Song army alone relies on the stone thrower is difficult to shake, if you want to follow the ladder or siege tower, forcibly attack, Zheng Jun's strong will can never be ignored, close combat, hand-to-hand combat, they are better than the Song army.
What's more, the people of Shiyan City, with a glorious tradition, fought to the death, fought to the death, once it was time for life and death, the Zheng army and the people in the city had no way to retreat, but to resist the city and defend to defeat the Song army, they would use their lives to cast spears, thus causing heavy casualties to the opponent, and thus rescuing Zheng Guo.
The horn sounded, and the soldiers in the city moved quickly.
In order to resist the Song army, Xing Yike led his army into the city, and after entering the city from early in the morning, he made a lot of preparations.
On the city wall, many defensive facilities were built to avoid being suppressed by the Song army's arrow rain during the siege, and it was difficult to show its head.
All the crossbows in the city were erected between the two battlements, bundles of spears were piled up on the walls, and a large rain of arrows was placed under the battlements.
The people in the city are constantly moving the boulders in the city to the city wall, whether it is a family or a civilian, after the arrival of the Song Army's mechanical legion, everyone is united, united, and jointly blocks foreign enemies.
After the family contributed all the oil in Fuzhong, they set up a cauldron in Fuzhong, slaughtered livestock, and began to boil the oil.
The common people were under the city, filling the stone in the city gate hole on the one hand, and setting up a cauldron under the city wall on the other hand, lighting a fire and setting up a pot, preparing cold water to boil, intending to teach the other party a lesson when the Song army attacked the city.
For a time, all the people in the city, men and women, young and old, threw themselves into the war.
They knew very well that if Shiyan City could not be defended, when the Zheng army broke through the city, they would definitely suffer the same experience as Yue Yancheng, and all the cities would be slaughtered by the Song army.
Therefore, if you die, you have to pull a cushion, and after the first battle, the Song army will definitely form a situation where you kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself.
Meng Kuo led the mechanical troops, and the wind and dust arrived eight hundred steps away from Shiyan City, the legion stopped advancing, he stood at the top of the pedal car, looked at the defense of Shiyan City, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and sighed secretly, Zheng Jun's attempt to rely on strong defense, relying on crowd tactics, to block the pace of the Song army, is simply wishful thinking.
Today, even if there is a sword mountain in front of it, the mechanical army will remove the knife mountain, and even if it is a sea of fire, it will also fill in the sea of fire.
In an instant, he instructed the deputy general Cao Kun: "No need to delay, order the stone-throwing troops, move the twist-wheel powered stone-throwing machine, outside Shiyan City, spread out one word, and first give this general all the defenses in the city wall of the Zheng army!" ”
