Chapter 125: Kuang Zhang's Response
After hearing that Gongzihua personally went to worship in front of Liuxia Hui's grave and stabilized Kang's father and Juye, Qi Guo suddenly became extremely passive. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The ministers of Qi began to accuse Kuang Zhang in front of the King of Qi, and everyone thought that a person like Kuang Zhang who had failed and humiliated the country should no longer serve as the commander of the Qi army! They suggested that the King of Qi send another general!
For such a suggestion, King Qi ignored it at all. Immediately, he was in Linzi City, gathered 20,000 technical fighters, and sent generals south to hand them over to Kuang Zhang.
Kuang Zhang got so many soldiers and horses in his hands, but he did not attack rashly.
In his opinion, if you want to attack, you must first be able to defend! If the Qi army didn't even have the strength to defend, then how could it be said to defeat the Qin army?
Considering that the Qin army took action, traveled as fast as the wind, and once interspersed from the north bank of Jishui, and directly won the record of Kang's father, Kuang Zhang asked the king of Qi to mobilize the Jishui water division of the Qi State and began to blockade the entire Jishui!
As a result, the entire trade of Jishui was cut off again because of the blockade of the Qi State! The only place that merchants can reach is from Wei to Kang's father.
Kuang Zhang's move caused public anger among merchants from all over the world, but he was deeply trusted by the King of Qi, and no one could change anything.
Under Kuang Zhang's response, even if the Qin army continued to rush like the wind before, the Qin army, which could not pass through Jishui, would not really pose much of a threat to the Qi country.
Subsequently, Kuang Zhang once again personally strengthened the city defenses of the cities on the south bank of the Jishui River of Qi, and most of the additional troops sent to him by the King of Qi were also sent to the cities.
In this way, the Qin army's rush was completely ineffective. When the Qin army ran into several cities one after another, Gongzihua knew that it was useless to try to take Qi by surprise by marching rapidly.
So he also changed the way Qin Jun responded with Kuang Zhang's response!
Gongzihua concentrated almost all of the Qin army and began to attack Sanqiu, the last city before Pinglu, with all his might.
Kuang Zhang also knew that this battle was not trivial, so in addition to leaving a small number of troops to stay in Pinglu, he sent most of his troops to Sanqiu to defend tightly.
The Qin army could not be captured in a battle, and Gongzihua was not impatient, he personally sent the main force of the Qin army to be stationed near Sanqiu to monitor every move of the Qi army in Sanqiu City.
In Gongzihua's opinion, in addition to relying on the city to defend, the Qi army now has no threat to the Qin army!
In the course of the Qin army's many raids, the Qin army discovered one of the biggest shortcomings of the Qi army: it was not tolerant of field battles.
Although the combat power of the Qi army's technical fighters is extremely strong, they can't exert their own combat power at all when they encounter the Qin army!
Whether it was the Qin army's defeat of the Qi army that supported Yang Jin, or the two armies rounded to encircle and annihilate the Qi army led by Tian Hong, the deputy general of the Qi army, the Qin army and the Qi army were at war, in most cases, the Qi army was defeated in a battle, and there was no ability to resist at all!
Therefore, Gongzi Hua dared to blatantly camp under Sanqiu City! This is not only because he doesn't want the Qin army to be interfered with by Father Kang and the Qi people of Juye, but also because he also has the intention of tempting the Qi army out of the city!
Kuang Zhang knew Qin Jun's plans. So he really stayed in Sancho City and couldn't get out.
The two armies of Qin and Qi confronted each other at Sanqiu.
In Linzi City, after Dai Yan received the news of the battle between Qin and Qi, he found Zhao Yong, put all the news in front of him, and asked him, "What do you think of this battle?" ”
Zhao Yong is worthy of being a young talent, he is extremely talented, and after learning a lot of knowledge from later generations under Dai Yan's disciple, his horizons have also become broadened, and his understanding of war has become unique: "The Qin army defeated the Qi State this time, relying on the excellent quality of the Qin army itself, and the rapid marching speed.
The Qin people themselves are an extremely brave nation, and under the encouragement of the Qin law, they are timid in private battles and brave in national wars, and their own quality is much stronger than that of the Qi army, so under the head-to-head confrontation, the Qi army is not the opponent of the Qin army at all! The defeat of the Qi army was not without reason.
And what is even more important about the Qin army this time is that its marching speed far exceeds that of the Qi army! Qin Jun's ability to do this is actually related to its own strong quality. The Qin army had strict military discipline, so it was able to travel as fast as the wind, and run hundreds of miles in five days without complaint! If it were replaced by the army of my Zhao State, I am afraid that it would never be able to do something like the Qin army! ”
"No, Zhao's army can do it!" Dai Yan retorted with a smile.
"Why does Master comfort me? My army of Zhao State, will I not know? Although the military discipline of our Zhao State is also very strict, it is still not as good as that of the Qin State! Without the quality of the Qin army, how could our army be able to complete this long-distance attack! Zhao Yong said with a hint of loss on his face.
"Cavalry can do it." Dai Yan said lightly.
Hearing Dai Yan's guidance, Zhao Yong was silent for a while. What the master said is indeed good, if there can be a cavalry, then it is actually effortless to complete an attack like the Qin army!
Dai Yan then said: "I told you before that the marching speed of the army actually represents the combat effectiveness of this army!" If there is a cavalry, regardless of other combat methods, just by virtue of such a rapid build-up and rushing speed, the enemy army can definitely be caught off guard! ”
There have been many cavalry in human history, and the politics, economy, culture, etc. are different in various places, and there have also been various types of cavalry. Cavalry is divided according to the type alone, there are archers, heavy cavalry, lancers, light cavalry and so on.
However, according to what Dai Yan knew from later generations, as well as his personal experience in participating in the war in this era, the light cavalry should be the most suitable cavalry for the East!
In his understanding, the cavalry should exist as a rapid reaction force! As long as the speed of the cavalry is fast enough, in this era when the command system is not very developed, it is actually very likely to be able to take the Qi army by surprise and break them all like the Qin army today!
And the cavalry formed by the American imperialists in later generations still existed after World War II! The US cavalry units are equipped with helicopters and armored vehicles, in fact, they have seen through the essence of the cavalry, a rapid reaction force!
When Dai Yan was in later generations, he watched a movie, in which he said: The world's martial arts are invincible, only fast and unbreakable! In fact, this principle can also be used in war!
The most powerful Mongol cavalry in the Cold Weapon Age was able to run rampant across the world, and it should also rely on its unrivaled marching speed, right? Dai Yan thought silently in his heart.
Under Dai Yan's teaching, Zhao Yong's interest in cavalry became stronger and stronger. And he doesn't hide his knowledge of horses. Under such circumstances, Dai Yan called the disciples of the peasant family to gather important knowledge such as horse raising, horse feeding, and horse training, and used scientific methods to write a book related to horses, and this book will be shared by Dai Yan and Zhao Yong.
Not to mention that Dai Yan began to study this kind of fast-reacting cavalry after receiving the news of the battle between the two armies of Qin and Qi.
Since the Qin army was unable to advance under Sanqiu City, it had started a long confrontation with the Qi army. And this confrontation lasted for four months at once!
Of course, during these four months, the two sides did not always split in peace and security. The Qin army had tried to sneak attack Sancho many times, but under Kuang Zhang's personal command, although the Qi army had losses, Sanqiu was not really captured!
And the Qi army is also restless, under the command of Kuang Zhang, the Qi army has also attacked the Qin army once, but the Qi army really can't directly confront the Qin army in the front, that sneak attack, less than half of the more than 3,000 Qi troops who attacked returned to the city!
This made the Deqi army extremely frightened, and Kuang Zhang had to change the way he dealt with it!
