Chapter 370 [Movement Battle III]
The sunset is like blood, and a touch of residual sun shines on the battlefield through the ridges of different heights, reflecting the miserable white faces into blood red, and the real blood stains have turned black, with a pair of wide-open eyes, which makes people shudder.
In the vast fields, on the slopes of the slopes, there were tens of thousands of corpses; Some were soldiers in cloth armor, others were well-armed Wei soldiers, these brave elites who were once regarded as battlefield killers have been dead for a long time, but the people who cleaned the battlefield have not stripped them of their well-made iron armor and swords. These are all first-class good things, and if the Wei people didn't want to die in the past, they would have taken them back, and they would never have fallen into the hands of the enemy.
After receiving the boiled horse meat sent by the head soldier, Mu Ziya took a bite with difficulty, and just chewed it twice, he felt a surge of blood; The lack of salt and oil made him want to vomit, but he still held his breath, swallowed the blood that was close to the throat, and then roared wildly, like the howl of a beast when it was dying.
"The Lord"
The lieutenant general beside him looked at the two trembling arrows on his shoulder armor with tears in his eyes, which were left over from the day's battle, but Mu Ziya resolutely refused to allow anyone to pull them out, because as soon as the arrows were pulled out, the blood would disperse, and he would no longer be able to use his arms. The adjutant general beckoned, ordered the military doctor to cut off the exposed arrows, and said in a low voice: "The soldiers have lost 4,000 people, and the casualties of the garrison soldiers are even greater. General, it is Bai Dong's main army attacking from behind, even if General Pang Juan is here, it will be the same result, you must not blame yourself"
"How many people do I have left?"
Mu Ziya looked down the hill. The sun has set. In the faint moonlight, the nail light flickered. However, even the most elite warriors did not have the strength to line up the invincible phalanx that satisfied him, and these elite warriors full of the pride of the Wei army were leaning together in groups of three or five at the moment, and they had to rely on the strength of their comrades to barely stand firm. Not to mention those cantonment soldiers, some people have gone crazy, some people have simply become deserters, and there are deserters under his wooden teeth?
"Less than 30,000"
The lieutenant's voice was like a mosquito humming, and his head was pressed low, as if trying to get into the crotch of his pants.
"Two big defeats, more than half of the troops were lost! Why is that? Who can sue me for this! How to lose this battle. I don't understand! ”
Mu Ziya is not afraid of defeat, for ten years, he has not suffered defeat, or because the enemy is several times his own, or because of the unfavorable terrain, or even improper command of the striker, but this time he really doesn't understand, thinking back on the experience of this battle, it was obviously him and Pang Cong who attacked the young officer of Gongzi in the north and south, but as a result, Pang Cong's army disappeared, but the young officer of Gongzi seemed to be a divine soldier descending from the sky, and he ate 3,000 of his people in one bite! The first battle between the two armies of Wei and Qin was him, but he was extremely defeated.
There are only 20,000 young officers in the son. How could he swallow this breath? immediately commanded the army to surround it on all sides, and vowed to destroy this Qin army. But he soon discovered the problem. He just prepared a 'bird cage', but Qin Jun was a vicious wolf, he couldn't trap people at all, but he was surrounded by the other party's gap and bit him a few times, although it didn't hurt or itch every time, and the loss was only hundreds, but these times added up to another 2,000 people, what kind of fucking battle did this fight?
Mu Ziya is not stupid, but also very smart, and soon discovered the terrible of the Qin army's 'movement war' like a huge onion; but found that in the face of the Gongzi Shaoguan army equipped with tens of thousands of war horses, he also has no good way, the scattered troops will only be eaten by people in one bite, and the concentrated forces can not catch up, Gongzi Shaoguan and Qin Guan are really 'the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase', the sports war is a protracted war, and the comparison is the patience and speed of both sides, and it is strange that the well-prepared Qin army will lose.
Mu Ziya was desperately trying to contact Pang Cong, he couldn't understand how this huge general who was bent on establishing the first merit disappeared out of thin air? No matter if the people and horses are gone, why haven't even the carrier pigeons that contacted the military intelligence have not flown for many days? But I didn't know that Bai Dong had released more falcons recently, and each of them had been starved for three days, so it was strange that the carrier pigeons could fly over.
Although Pang Cong and Wang Zishen could not be contacted, Mu Ziya still maintained enough calm, camping behind the mountain without being disturbed by the young officials of Gongzi, and on the other hand, he sent well-trained spies to disguise themselves as hunters and search for them in the mountains; It is impossible for the Qin army to have only 20,000 cavalry, there must be a large army to hide, and discovering where the Qin army is is the first task he has to complete, and it will also determine his next plan.
Bai Dong's army could not be found, as early as when the young officer of Gongzi took him around in circles, the army had already moved out of the mountains; In the pre-Qin era, when there were no advanced reconnaissance methods, it was really not difficult to hide a large army, not to mention that the information that Bai Dong had was always two or three steps faster than the Wei army? Don't say it's the location of the seven armies of the Wei State, even the specific time when Wang Zishen entered Changping last night and what he ate and drank is clear. This doesn't require Fan Qiang's intelligence department to work hard, just the information revealed by the commercial banks of various countries 'intentionally or unintentionally' is enough for Bai Dong to make an accurate analysis and judgment. In the pre-Qin era, the status of merchants was extremely high, and the two countries did not block the trade routes, and there were often major wars between Wei and Chu, but Chu merchants sold 'arms' to Wei, and then used the money they earned to buy grain to finance their own country.
After searching all over the southern mountains but not seeing Bai Dong's soldiers, Mu Ziya was determined in his heart, as long as there was no enemy behind him, he could let go of his hands and feet to deal with the young official Gongzi, and this uncle of the Qin State was also dying, he originally ran very well, but suddenly changed his mind and entered the mountainous area, if he crossed the continuous mountainous area north of Yancheng, he could enter the Chu realm at any time!
Could it be that the Qin army wants to escape? Thinking that he couldn't search Bai Dong's army, Mu Ziya thought that he had discovered the truth. This white son of Qin attacked Wei in order to save Zhao was originally an admirable move, but unfortunately he underestimated Wei too much, and he must have seen the strength of the Wei army, so he led the army to retreat south; Gongzi's army is just a means he uses to delay the pursuit of his troops, otherwise why can't he find the army of the Qin State all over the world? Why does the army of the young officer of the prince have more war horses?
Others escaped. The young officer of the son can't escape! As soon as he thought of the five thousand men and horses he had lost in the hands of the other party, Mu Ziya couldn't hold back his anger. Pursue! The young officer of the son beat himself so wolf. It's just that he quickly beat himself off guard by marching, if the two armies really face each other, how can the Qin army, which has only 20,000 people who can only escape, be the opponent of Wei Wushu? Moreover, as soon as this uncle of Qin made a mistake in chess, he actually forgot that as soon as he entered the mountains and forests, the advantage of the cavalry would be gone.
In this era, there is no military proverb of 'poor Kou Mo chases Lin Mo in', but Mu Ziya has not considered the dangers he may encounter, the mountains and forests around Yancheng have been searched several times, and there is no Qin army lurking. What's so scary about yourself? But I forgot that the young officer of the son can keep moving, how can the army of Bai Dong not be able to exercise? These days, the army of the Qin State was hidden in the mountains and knew the terrain well, and soon after the army of Mu Ziya entered the mountains and forests, the army of Bai Dong followed and opened a large encirclement network behind him.
The defeat of Iraq by the United States in later generations was not only due to advanced equipment, but also to suppress intelligence was actually the key to victory. Now that the Qin State is fighting the Wei State, it is like a clear-eyed person dealing with a blind man, and it is no wonder that Mu Ziya does not suffer a big loss.
Wait until Mu Ziya understands the truth of Feng Lin Mojin. It's already too late. It turned out that the cavalry was more terrible in the mountains and forests, and their horses' hooves struck on the rocks. There will be a sound of gold and iron resonance, and their skillful control horses walk through the trees, which is more hidden and suddenly the invincible phalanx of Wei Wushu in the world cannot be expanded at all in this environment, in fact, even if it is expanded, it has no effect, just with the poor cavalry of the Wei army, it is impossible to protect the two wings of the phalanx, once the enemy breaks through and surrounds, Wei Wushu is like wheat waiting to be harvested.
That day became a never-ending nightmare for Mu Ziya, and he couldn't figure out why the Qin army's war horses were not afraid of the wooden thorns and sharp stones on the mountain, why Wei Wushu's three-layer iron armor couldn't stop the Qin army's bow and crossbow, and he couldn't figure out where the Qin army that suddenly came out from behind
There was no way to fight such a battle, and it had completely turned into a one-sided massacre. If it weren't for Mu Ziya's love for soldiers like a son on weekdays, and the Qin army would have served desperately, he wouldn't have even been able to break out of that terrifying mountain forest and come to this mountain range that is adjacent to the plain.
Looking at the Qin army tents and black flags under the hillside, Mu Ziya suddenly felt sad. It's not terrible to fail, it's terrible that he still doesn't know why he failed; Qin Guobaizi, is this a more terrifying person than Pang Juan?
"General, the enemy army is strong, our army was defeated a few days ago, the grain and grass are lost, and the arrows left in the whole army are less than 100,000.
The adjutant general has been patient for a long time, and finally he can't help but put forward the proposal; At present, the Wei army has become a tired army, and if it breaks through, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, but if it is attacked by the Qin army, it will really be annihilated.
"Breakout? Do the warriors still have the strength? ”
Mu Ziya laughed miserably: "The Seven Roads Army, 400,000 people!" Shigang, can you tell me, where is our army? Prince Shen? I'm afraid that he is drinking wine and eating meat in Changping City at the moment, waiting for the news of our army's victory, right? It's a pity, Mu Ziya is going to disappoint him."
"General, at the moment, our army is only 30,000, and the Qin army is afraid that there are 100,000 people, and the weakness lies in me! If you don't work hard, you can't become the last general who has ordered to slaughter half of the war horses, so that the soldiers can eat and rest, and they will be able to fight to the death to get out of the encirclement. ”
"Well, that's the only way to do it now. The army breaks through, you and I take the lead, or we can fight a bloody way! ”
Mu Ziya sighed for a while, this white man is terrible because he can't make the opponent choose; The Wei army lacked supplies, and was surrounded by several times the enemy, if it did not break through, it would only be starved to death and trapped to death, but if it broke through, it would also fall into the arms of the Qin people, the bows and crossbows of the Qin people were too terrible, and the heavy armor of the Wei soldiers could not resist it, and ordinary soldiers would become human targets.
