Chapter 791: The Battle of Changping (Medium)

PS: The second chapter is in the evening

Twenty miles west of Danshui, Light Wolf City.

The base camp of the Jin army, which was transformed from a hundred small towns, was not spacious, and after the representatives and generals of each family swarmed in, they stood up full of big tents, waiting for the commander Zhiyao to give an order.

The war has been going on for the fourth year, and the talents of the Jin State have withered, and there are no generals who can fight, so Zhiyao gradually stands out from a partial commander. The battle to destroy the enemy, the battle of Shaoshui, the battle of breaking the copper sand and pulling out the party, the battle of Taigu, and the battle of regaining the eldest son, but all the victories of the Jin army were basically commanded by him.

His elder brother knew the night, but he lost a battle, and when he returned, he collapsed, and the two brothers made a judgment.

Therefore, his grandfather Zhibosong responded to public opinion and promoted him to the rank of doctor, Sima of the Chinese army, acting as the monarch and the ruling commander of the three armies!

In the past two years, the Zhao family has slowed down its offensive, and the Jin family has a chance to breathe, but the surrounding net has been tightened slightly: the Bank of China has perished, and the Zhongshan Kingdom has become a new enemy; Afraid of the repetition of the powerful Zhou Chamber, he withdrew the call of Vazhao; After Zheng Guo seized the Yin Land, he also hurriedly broke away from the big ship that was about to capsize in the Jin State, and asked for peace with the Zhao family to hold border negotiations with the Song State.

As a result, the Zhao clan was digesting the newly conquered territory, but the Zhi clan had not been able to rest, the Taihang Heavenly Danger was already shared by both sides, the enemy might attack at any time, and the initiative of the war had completely fallen into their hands!

Sure enough, after the autumn of this year, the Zhao family, which was once again full of grain in the treasury, finally couldn't help it, and they attacked the eldest son who had changed hands several times, but in fact, they transferred troops directly into the Hyun clan's town, intending to copy the back road of the Jin army, but Zhiyao reacted quickly, he judged the Zhao family's plan, and immediately gathered the Shangdang army to repel the Zhao vanguard.

However, the eldest son still returned to the Zhao clan, and the Zhao army achieved the initial strategic goal, not only recovering the eldest son, but also gaining a firm foothold on the edge of the Shangdang Mountains.

By this time, Zhiyao had already realized that this temptation was different from the previous ****** of containment, but a large-scale attack!

There were more and more police calls, and they were all from different places east of Danshui, and the Zhao army banners reported by the scouts were as many as twenty divisions. For the strength of the Zhao family, Zhiyao still did some homework on weekdays, Zhao Wuxian is already different, there are more than 10,000 full-time soldiers, and there are nearly 40,000 soldiers recruited from Hanoi, Handan, and Lu respectively, plus the army that the Han clan can provide, there are as many as 60,000 mobile troops! And this does not include the weaker local garrisons.

This time, the Zhao clan brought at least 50,000 people, plus 10,000 people, and almost all the soldiers and horses under his rule came.

Zhiyao officially comprehended Zhao Jun's all-out strength, and he began to mobilize various forces as the commander. In general, the Zhi clan has two armies, the Wei clan has two armies, the office has one army, the Fan clan has half an army, and the rest of the doctor's family can also make up a half army, obviously not losing to the Zhao clan, but they still have to keep people to defend, so the number of people concentrated in the Shangdang area is slightly less than the Zhao army, only less than 50,000.

Since the strength of the troops is inferior to that of the other side, and the morale is not as good as the other, it is a wiser decision to focus on defense. Zhiyao took the light wolf city where the camp was located as the center, took Danshui as a natural barrier, and also used the local mountain stones and rammed earth to build a barrier along Danshui for twenty miles, as long as the Zhao army dared to cross the river to attack, he would immediately attack it halfway.

Relying on the defense line of a river and a mountain range, it finally blocked the pace of the Zhao army, and the Zhao army could not advance after attacking many times in a month, and Zhi Yao ignored several challenges, so the two sides entered a two-month confrontation period.

But as time slowly passed, Zhiyao suddenly found that he had been fooled, and Zhao Wuxian's attack this time was a one-handed chain, which made people unguardable. When his attention was attracted to this small land called "Changping", there was a big basket in the north!

……

Received the alarm of Jinyang was seven days ago, seven days after three messengers came to the front of the army, it turned out that Qiu You had been recaptured by the Zhongshan State, the Zhao army entered the Taiyuan Basin through there, the generation of the Jinyang region was caught off guard, and was quickly defeated, and the north of the Jin State was replanted with the banner of the Zhao family.

For these messengers, Zhi Yao was ruthless and killed them without exception, because he wanted to stabilize the army's heart and block the news, and this little thing was not difficult for him.

Because he knew that the retainers of the Zhi clan would say that if the doctors under the account learned the news, they would be scattered in a hurry......

Although the situation has been stormy, the banner of the Marquis of Xinjiang and Jin is still there, and the main force of the Zhi Wei clan still exists. Liang Ying's father and other doctors had too deep a grudge with the Zhao family, and they were afraid that they would lose everything like the doctors of the Lu State after surrendering, so they still had the idea of driving the Zhao family to the east of Taihang and ruling Taihang.

That's right, to promote peace with war, this is the current hope of the Zhi clan.

"If I don't want the army to collapse without a fight, I can only fight Zhao Wuxian before the news spreads...... Won this battle, drove the Zhao family to Shandong, and then collected troops and went back to clean up the mess! ”

But this is a decision that determines the final battle of the Jin Kingdom, and tens of thousands of soldiers are the choice of life and death. Although Zhiyao rose as quickly as a comet, he was still a young man under thirty, and at this moment, looking at the people with their own thoughts under the firelight, for a while, he was a little shaken in his decision......

Someone stood up and asked him to retreat, and helped him make up his mind with a word: "Ziyu (Zhiyao's character), we must fight with the Zhao army, and if it drags on, the food will run out, and the army will collapse without a fight!" ”

……

The person closest to Zhiyao in the tent, the person who whispered these words in his ear, was Wei Ju, the son of the Wei family, and also the hostage of the Wei family to express loyalty to the Marquis of Jin.

The relationship between the Zhi clan and the Wei clan is not without Geng Jie, two years ago, the small sect of the Wei clan, Lu Xing, evacuated with the fleet in advance when Zhixiao attacked Wen County, resulting in the annihilation of the Zhishi division, and Zhixiao was able to escape by relying on the protection of Chang Hong.

Zhi Bosong was very angry and asked the Wei family to give an explanation, and the Wei family attributed all the sins to Xiaozong Ling Hubo and Lu Xing to make their own claims. One of these two people was expelled and disappeared, and the other was relegated to the ranks, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Zhi family.

In order to completely dispel the suspicions of the Zhi family, Wei Hao, the head of the Wei family, took the initiative to go to Xinjiang, which was equivalent to taking the place of his son as a hostage, and the Zhiwei alliance was able to be maintained.

It was precisely because of these variables that Wei Ju was able to stand in the big tent and say this when Zhiyao hesitated.

"In the past two years, Zhao Wuxian has taken control of Mengmen and Yiguan, constantly sent troops to the west to harass, and used the eldest son of Kongcheng to lure our army to attack, consuming our strength. After several repetitions, the army was exhausted, and the cultivation was delayed......"

"The output of Zhi's territory on the front line of Taihang is very small, but there are a lot of fertile fields in Hexi, and the military has basically relied on the granaries of Hexitian and my Wei's Quwo and Anyi in the past two years, and it has been almost consumed. Now Ziyu has concentrated 50,000 people on the west bank of Danshui, feeding grain for hundreds of miles, internal and external expenses, soldiers' use, glue paint materials, car armor, and thousands of stones of corn per day, and the treasury is empty, and it can't be delayed any longer! ”

"Ziteng is reasonable...... Zhiyao nodded, he didn't trust the Wei family, but he could only rely on them because of the situation.

If they are suspicious of each other at this time, they will only be easily broken by the Zhao family, and all the Jin kingdoms will be captured, and the Wei family will also understand this truth.

He dispelled all his hesitations, as the commander of the army, the most taboo thing is to keep interrupting, even if there is no accident on Jinyang's side, he has no time to confront Zhao Wuxian slowly.

"However, Zhao Wuxian is only afraid that he has been waiting for us to take the initiative to attack, although we occupy the advantage of the Shangdang Mountain, but the east of Danshui is the same, and there is a mountain named Motianling to the east of the Hyun clan, which is the commanding height of the valley, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If our army rushes out, it will not have an advantage, but it will be easy to fall for Zhao Wuxian's tricks, you have a lot of friendship with him, you should know his tactics. ”

Speaking of the "friendship" with Zhao Wuxian, Wei Ju was a little embarrassed, Wenxian Taoyuan was well-known, but Han Hu conscientiously stood on the side of the Zhao family, but he was in the company of the enemies of the two, and the relationship between the proud Zhiyao and him could not be called friendly, even now, there were still thorns in his words!

But when he thought of what the newly found retainer said, he quickly waved away a trace of unhappiness and said with a smile: "Ziyu is in charge of the three armies instead of the ruling party, and how to fight is naturally up to you, and we will listen to your orders." "Good! Ziteng, look at the map. ”

Zhiyao pointed to Danzhuling, the source of Danshui on the map, the small village Changping in the east of Lingdong, and then drew all the way to the area of Guangwolf City and Hyun Shiyi in the south, which is the whole picture of the battlefield.

"The confrontation front is more than ten miles long from north to south, and the scouts from the north and south have been notified for half an hour, and the battle situation is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to wait for the commander's order, so each camp of the Zhao army must have the right to make its own choice in wartime."

Wei Ju nodded: "This is reasonable, and so is our army, what is Ziyu's plan?" "Lure the enemy to strike first!"

Zhiyao is already confident, and there are very few Jin generals who have not been defeated by the Zhao army, and he is one of them.

Although their own troops are not as good as the Zhao army, they control the communication arteries in the Shangdang area, and defend in danger, this terrain army can not be spread at all, and the advantage of troops can not be played at all, so they can only carry out scattered confrontations in the Danshui Valley. The advantage of the cavalry of the Zhao army, which made the princes change their color, lies in speed and impact, which cannot be played in this kind of hard-shouldered offensive and defensive battle......

Zhi Yao's hand knocked heavily on Changping again: "The scout has found out that the general of the Zhao army stationed near Changping is named Tian Ben, if we follow the strategy of the Jin army in the Battle of Chengpu to retreat, let the Shiqi army of Danzhuling change the camp and make a posture of evacuation." Tian Ben likes to be aggressive, and he will definitely not miss it. When the Zhao army crossed the river to pursue, we let the ambush soldiers attack from the flank, as a breakthrough in this battle, and attacked the east of Danshui in one fell swoop, defeating Zhao Wuxian! “
