Chapter 160: The Sorrowful Yue Kingdom
Although the appearance of Tongue Yong caused a lot of trouble for the cavalry of the Han Kingdom, it was as Yang Zilu had predicted. The troop chariot could not outrun the cavalry at all, and even if the speed could keep up, the cavalry made a sharp turn and immediately threw the troop off. And the military vehicles could not track the cavalry, because the military vehicles were very demanding on the terrain. As long as the cavalry drilled into the number or the mountain road, the tongue could only sit on the chariot and stare dryly. Send infantry to chase? Then the cavalry was even happier, not to mention what kind of environment they Shanyue people lived in, they outperformed the Yue soldiers on foot, and the bantam horse alone could throw the opponent nine streets. But the cavalry would not do this, they would choose to use their crossbows to deal with the infantry, shoot and harass the infantry, and if they had the opportunity, immediately blow the horn and call for the nearby cavalry to come.
Although the nearby Vietnamese soldiers knew what the other party's intentions were, they understood that when the Vietnamese infantry rushed to the battlefield to support out of breath, all they saw was a naked headless corpse and a pool of blood.
No, the Han cavalry did not capture their brocade crotch (underwear) away. However, he was also so angry that his tongue jumped like thunder, and his fist slammed on the railing on the military vehicle.
He had never seen such a shameless and obscene method of fighting, and the princes at that time were all concerned about 'upright teachers'. There will even be a battle, and the place where the battle will be agreed, and the two sides will come as promised, and they will not say that they have agreed to fight in the east, and they will quickly intersperse it from the west and attack your capital. There will be no Yang Zilu's tactic of hitting you and running away. The Han cavalry is completely determined to disturb and will not play head-to-head combat with you at all.
"What kind of war is this! Shameless! Shameless! Yu Yong didn't care about the doctor's demeanor, looking at the back of the Han cavalry that had turned into black spots, and scolded angrily.
The adjutant general beside him said, "General, this ...... This is a bit like Wu Zixu's three armies attacking Chu! ”
(The three armies attacked Chu, Wu Zixu divided the Wu [***] team into three teams and attacked in turn, but they just didn't fight head-on with the Chu State, it was completely you who advanced and I retreated, and you retreated and I advanced, which made the Chu army tired all year round, which greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Chu army.) )
"Wu Zixu!" Tongue Yong repeated, and then his face changed. Scolded: "Grandma's! Isn't he, Yang Zilu, a disciple of Sun Wu? How did I learn Wu Zixu's things! Damn it! I knew that none of the people of Wu were good! ”
The adjutant general couldn't help but dare to despise the tongue in his heart, don't you know that Sun Tzu and Wu Zixu are sworn friends? It is not surprising that Sun Tzu learned some of Wu Zixu's art of war.
Although Yu Yong understood the strategic intentions of the Han State, there was no way, under the leadership of Yang Tugou and Mang Gao, the cavalry army was sometimes broken into pieces, and sometimes integrated into an iron fist. Turning a quarter of the border in the southwest of the country upside down, as for the tongue? This famous fierce general in Yue has become a soy sauce. However, the influence of the Han cavalry was not limited to this, and many Yue citizens who were not attacked were afraid that the Han cavalry would kill them, so they abandoned their homes and poured into the nearest city to seek refuge.
Coupled with the refugees whose homes were originally destroyed by the Han cavalry, the prices of the cities in Yue immediately soared for a while. The fields are unmanaged, and within a few days they will be overgrown with weeds, and this year's grain production is already a foregone conclusion.
What made Gou Jian even more angry were those annihilators, who hoarded grain and only sold it in small amounts. The price of grain has soared from the price of one dollar per bucket in the past to twenty dollars per bucket. It's just that Gou Jian can't move them, because most of these annihilation merchants are Wu merchants, and even if they are not, they are also in a group with Wu merchants.
Who doesn't know that those Wu merchants are standing behind the doctors of Wu State, if Gou Jian dares to move one, then he will be greeted by most of the Wu State doctors shouting to the husband to attack the Yue Kingdom. For this reason, Gou Jian had to swallow his anger aggrievedly, and Gou Jian had to choose to attack in advance. He couldn't let Yang Zilu's solo ride continue to do mischief in the Yue Kingdom.
Although Fan Li was reluctant to get the order, because it was too hasty, and the soldiers who went out during the spring ploughing would definitely be worried about the fields in their homes, and their morale would be high in such a situation. But Fan Li also had to admit that if he didn't attack at the moment, it would be best to force Yang Zilu to retreat his single horse. Otherwise, Gou Jian don't expect to send troops after the autumn harvest this year, there will be no food shortage in the autumn harvest this year, that is already Dayu has a spirit in the sky, bless Gou Jian.
After a simple oath, Gou Jian handed the tiger talisman to Fan Li, and Fan Li led a thousand infantry to set off in the direction of Jiukui City. Gou Jian was also forced by Yang Zilu to pay a bloody capital this time, and what he gave to Fan Li was a thousand armor soldiers, all of whom were sharp soldiers of the Yue Kingdom. It should be known that the armor rate in the general army is about 30 percent. Even in the leather-rich south, the armor rate is only about 65 percent.
But if the war is defeated, it will be no less than the blow that Fucha gave to Yue four years ago, or even more than that. The nearby forces were all concerned about this battle, and even Fucha occasionally asked the attendants around him about the battle between Han and Yue, which was a confrontation between the old vassal states that had declined in Yangzhou and the new vassal states.
The launch of the war has even more affected spring ploughing, and although Wen Chong has the ability, it is impossible for him not to conscript the people to serve, provide grain and grass for the front line, and recruit some soldiers to go to the army, all of which affect the fragile economy of this Vietnamese country, which has just improved a little.
The only thing that made Gou Jian and Wen Chong feel relieved was that Yang Zilu's cavalry had heard the news of the Yue country's troops, and had already returned to the southern mountains from the plains of the Yue country. Therefore, the price of grain, which was originally as high as 20 yuan a bucket, has also fallen, but in the end, it is still hovering on 10 yuan a bucket, which has dealt a heavy blow to the people's livelihood of Vietnam.
However, Yue Guo's grief turned Qi Donglai and Yu Yule who was sent by Yang Zilu upside down. Because of the small bumper harvest of Wu last year, the grain price was relatively low, and the price of grain per stone was even lower than the grain price of Yue by one coin, and nine Ge coins of Yue Guo could buy one stone of grain. Freight, taxes, and labor are only fifteen dollars a stone at most when they arrive in Vietnam. But in Yue at that time, the price of grain was as high as 13 yuan a bucket, and Qi Donglai and they sold a bucket of grain, and they could basically recover the cost.
