Chapter 612 One acre and three points of land is too little
"Woo... Woo... ”
The horn has been raised, countless scouts have come and gone within a distance of more than ten miles, and several really powerful tribes in Dadan have really joined forces. The efficiency was so high that it was beyond Zheng Zhi's expectations, and several tribes that did not belong to each other could simply gather the warriors of the tribe to fight together.
Zheng Zhi originally thought that this grassland was as loose as scattered sand, and such a thing should not have happened, so they should consult and persuade each other to successfully reach an agreement on gathering troops. Unexpectedly, Li Qigou brought back the news on the sixth or seventh day, saying that the Dadan people had begun to gather.
At this time, it was only half a month before Tegus fled, and opposite Zheng Zhi's army, there was already the Dadan coalition army, which was only a dozen miles away.
The Great War is imminent!
Zheng Zhi has been looking forward to this battle for a long time, and it is this battle that Zheng Zhi can completely deal with the affairs in the south of the grassland.
One side of the force is in danger, either taking advantage of the situation to rise, or being eaten to the point that there are no bones left.
Zheng Zhi is now such a dangerous place, there are Jurchens in the north, the Great Song Dynasty in the south, and the north and south are enemies. Just like at the end of the Warring States Period, the Six Kingdoms attacked Qin, and the Qin State fought on several fronts, which was precarious. Qin was defeated, and the six countries were divided. Qin Sheng, from now on, this world is nothing anymore, just waiting for Lao Qin to annex them one by one.
Qin's ability to win the Six Kingdoms lies in the victory of the system. The whole country is fused with draconian laws and strong rule, and the whole country hesitates to build an extremely efficient war machine. The other six countries are far less efficient than the system. This is the core reason for Qin's victory.
The strict laws and strong rule also indirectly caused the death of the second emperor of the Qin state. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
Under the same conditions, there is no doubt that the difference in system is the difference in national strength.
The army stopped, and the two sides were seven or eight hundred paces apart.
Fifteen thousand Han ironclad cavalry.
40,000 Darden cavalry.
Zheng Zhi watched for a moment in front of the formation, slowly turned his horse back, and arrived at the rear formation. In the middle of the rear is a simple high platform, on which there are several seats, and behind the seats are two towering flags.
Book "Yan" on one stroke, and write "Zheng" on one stroke!
Behind the high platform, there are more than a dozen cowhide drums and more than a dozen huge gongs. On either side, there are horns.
Under the high platform, there are more than 200 pro-soldiers, and most of the things they have to do are to give orders. Zheng Zhi's commanders may be the most among the generals in this world, and Zheng Zhi is becoming more and more accustomed to directing battles in detail. The more meticulous the war, the better the chances of victory.
After that, there are the baggage, and there are some Mo Ge lost people and bald people. Civil officials such as Zhou Duwen and Wu Yong are also at the end.
Zheng Zhi came back from the front of the battle, dismounted and walked up to the general's platform, signaling to sit down several times, and the person around him was the planter.
One by one, orders were handed down, and the army kept changing formations, and two more teams of knights came out of battle on the left and right. The two wings were spread out, and the Chinese army was close.
When the Mongols marched westward, they also used the same tactics, the fierce attacks on both wings, the heavy punches of the Chinese army, and the rangers waiting for the opportunity to move, which also alluded to the way of righteousness in the "Art of War".
The method of tactics is the specific way of fighting war. The method of strategy is planning outside of combat. The Chinese have been good at this way since ancient times, and have been immersed in it for thousands of years. Whether it is diplomacy, strategy, or tactics, they all have their own set of extremely pragmatic theories.
From the perspective of the long history, in the stage of China's expansion, the most famous theory is the long-distance and close attack, and it is also this theory that allows the descendants of China who began to develop in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins to have a huge territory today. This is an extremely successful and the only one in the history of mankind that has been so continuous and successful.
That's why China, no matter what underestimation it experiences, will always become a world power. Although the world is getting bigger and bigger, no matter how ups and downs, the descendants of China will always stand at the high point of the world.
"It's getting warmer... Zheng Zhi made all the arrangements, just waiting for the soldiers and generals under his command to get ready, and he was also in the mood to chat.
The efficiency of preparation before the battle is also an important factor in the victory or defeat of the war. Whoever is ready first will start the battle first and will also gain more advantages. In the spring and autumn, the method of fighting a war was not like this, but both sides had to be ready to go to war, and this etiquette was obviously backward in the nature of war.
"Yes, the prince fought from spring to winter, and from winter to spring, and he has been galloping on the battle for several years, and I don't know which year this battle will be completed." The seed master said that the Chinese will always look forward to the peaceful and prosperous world, of which the Taiping is the main thing, and only with the Taiping can there be a prosperous world.
Hearing the words of the seed master, Zheng Zhi shook his head again and again, but there was a smile on his face, and said: "Seed minister, war is not necessarily a bad thing, if a country is established, it is best to fight a war for a hundred years." A hundred years from now, I will not need to fight in Huaxia, let others continue to fight. ”
Zheng Zhi's words were extremely cruel, but they were extremely realistic. Because the world is too big, if you really want to become the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, a hundred years of war may be enough.
The planter was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "If the world is unified, there is no need for the sons and daughters to fight with their lives, go home to one acre and three points of land, marry a wife and have children, and the descendants will be successful." ”
Zheng Zhi stood up with a smile and looked at the cannon on the side, and said: "What the Xianggong said is very true, but this acre is too little, haha... ”
The one acre and three points of land mentioned in the planter also refers to it, and Zheng Zhi's words naturally have other meanings, but Zheng Zhi doesn't explain much, things are always step by step.
Hearing this, the planter also smiled: "Haha... One acre and three points of land is too little. ”
Both of them said that one acre and three points of land was too little, but the meaning of the words was very different.
I heard Zheng Zhi shouting: "Open the cannon, fire the cannon first." ”
Zheng Zhi gave the order to open the artillery, but he saw that the artillery had been prepared, so he didn't wait any longer, the enemy was within range, and the artillery would inevitably cause confusion to the enemy's deployment, which was also an advantage.
An orderly soldier galloped to the left with his horse, and his mouth was already shouting: "King Yan has an order, open the cannon!" ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble!... ”
The smoke was loud, and the sound shook the sky.
The Dadan people in the distance had just lined up in a large array, and they were already in chaos again. The number of dead and wounded was nothing compared to the number of the army. But there was chaos, and the knights kept holding on to the reins to control their horses to avoid causing even more chaos.
If it was a Jurchen, they had already charged at this time, and they would not let Zheng Zhi once again rely on the range of the cannon to bargain for much cheapness.
But it was this Dadan coalition army, it seems that the orders did not come from one person, and the efficiency of pre-war preparations was much worse. But it was a second round of shelling.
Zheng Zhi saw the movements of the Dadan people in the distance, and smiled even more. At this time, the fifteenth thousand iron cavalry had already prepared for battle, and should have beaten the drum and ordered the charge, but Zheng Zhi was not in a hurry to order the drumming, but watched the artillery shoot round by round, and the Dadan array in the distance became more and more chaotic.
The planter also stood up and said, "Look at this Dadan person, he is not as good as the party members. ”
Zheng Zhi also nodded and said: "The party and the people are fighting non-stop, and the Dadan people are under the rule of the Liao State, at most it is just a conflict over some grasslands, which is not the same. However, if these Dadan people are trained a little and can withstand one or two major battles, they will definitely be a strong army. ”
Zheng Zhi has never despised the steppe men in his heart, after all, under Genghis Khan Temujin, it is these steppe men. These people just have no real experience and sophisticated armaments, and when these two conditions are met, these steppe men will inevitably be invincible.
After four rounds of shelling in a row, the Dadan people finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they couldn't care about so many preparations, and the Chinese army had already begun to charge.
Immediately, the left and right wings also galloped. However, there is also a considerable time lag between these coordinations, and this time difference has proved that there is no unity in command and insufficient preparation.
Seeing that the Dadan people in the distance began to charge, Zheng Zhi shouted: "Stop, beat the drum!" ”
It was the sound of drums, and the fifteen thousand iron horsemen rushed out in unison, and the entire front row of the battle formation did not drag in the slightest.
Compared with the two, there is already a difference between superior and inferior.
Zheng Zhi and the breeders also got off the stage and got on the horse to prepare.
In the cavalry battle, the commander obviously can't just wait on the platform, but has to follow the army. Otherwise, after a period of intersection, the coach will inevitably be exposed to the enemy.
If there is a battle with a large number of foot soldiers, the commander can take command.
Ye Xian, who was at the rear, also clenched his saber at this time, looked at the No. 100 bald man behind him, and stared at Zheng Zhi, who had already stepped down from the stage in front of him.
There was an impulse in his heart, Zheng Zhi was at the end of the big array, and there were only more than 100 personal soldiers around him. You can also contempt that there are also 100 cronies around you.
The hand holding the hilt of the knife was so nervous that it was constantly trembling, and the impulse in his heart was difficult to contain. This Yan King of the Great Song Dynasty is too harsh, too cruel, too deceitful...
The opportunity at this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you kill Zheng Zhi at this time. In this battle, the Han people will inevitably be defeated, and this grassland will no longer need others to call the shots.
The more he thought about it, the more difficult it was to contain, and he even kept encouraging the courage in his heart, and wanted to pull out the knife on his waist again and again.
When he turned his head and looked at the one hundred and tenth cronies left and right, he looked at the Han soldiers not far away, and a few civil officials in armor not far away.
The trembling man slowly drew his saber with a movement so small that it was difficult for others to notice.
Zheng Zhi in front of his head was sorting out his armor, checking his weapons left and right, and didn't seem to care about the people behind him at all.
You can only feel that there is silence in your ears, and you can't hear any sound, only the sound of the heartbeat beating in your chest, only the impulse that keeps fermenting in your brain, and only the hideous expression when Zheng Zhi threatens herself.
