Chapter 894: Iron Horse Jingo

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Since ancient times, soldiers have attached great importance to the uploading and issuing of commands, but the current classical warfare ultimately belongs to a situation in which transportation is basically relied on and communication is basically relied on roaring, and the efficiency has always been low. This is why it is necessary to use banners, golden dorms, war drums, trumpets and other means of communication.

Those who can accurately grasp the commander's banner and golden drum orders are the elite of the regular army, which requires years of training and the accumulation of war experience.

Even then, the effect is limited. As long as the melee of the large corps begins, it will be difficult for the commander's order to go down to the grassroots level, and it can only be conveyed layer by layer. As for how much time it will take, and whether the 'taste' will change, only God knows.

On the front line of the army, more often than not, it is based on the team rate at the bottom, Dubo, and organizes small-scale battles with their own experience and prestige.

And so a pattern was formed. The further back the melee between the two armies on the battlefield, the less reserves there are in the hands of each other's commanders, and the more uncontrollable the commanders will be over the changes in the battle situation. After the defeat, the mountains fell like mountains, and few people had the ability to turn the tide, and the fundamental reason lies in this.

Officers are the collective embodiment of the strength of the army, and half of the battlefield value is reflected here.

Of course, it goes without saying in modern warfare, and in classical warfare, any army with a low-level rank of commanders, commanders, team leaders, and other grass-roots officers is not taken seriously.

This was true for both the coalition and the Cizhou army before it. However, after the Cizhou Army was incorporated into the Zhu Biao system, although it was not directly incorporated into the command system by Zhu Biao, it tried its best to help them bring out a large number of grassroots officers and fill them into the army, and now, the effect is apparent.

Break and regroup, break and regroup!

The Cizhou army has always maintained an organized posture on the front, which is in stark contrast to the chaos at the grassroots level of the coalition army, and it has also added a heavy weight to its own weighing pan for the final outcome of this battle.

In this battle, the Cizhou army won.

The 70,000 Cizhou army won the 100,000 coalition army, in a frontal collision. With more than 20,000 casualties, more than 40,000 allied troops were killed, wounded, and captured, completely overturning the calculations of Tian Wu and Tian Cheng, and completely stabilizing the situation on the West Road!

This result is not more brilliant than the Han army, but it shocked the morale of the local soldiers and civilians in Cizhou. We can't beat Zhu Dashuai, and it doesn't mean that we are vulnerable. The Cizhou army is still capable of fighting!

……

The county seat of Taoqiu.

200,000 Qi troops surrounded the city impenetrable. Zhao Shuming knew that Zhu Biao, the commander of the 100,000 Han army, was in this city, so he didn't 'surround three and lack one'. It should be circumference on all sides, and it should be airtight. Don't let go of the enemy.

He did not send a single army north to Langzhou to harass the Han army behind enemy lines. Although Taoqiu City could not be taken, the army did not pay attention to the large-scale march to the north, whether it was marching or transporting baggage. Otherwise, there is only one way to travel three or four hundred miles and change directions.

That's not bad for a professional army. For the logistics of baggage transfer, it is a tragedy!

The combat power of the Han army is very amazing, and Zhao Shuming is afraid that if he sends fewer people, he will be eaten by the Han army. There were too many people to send them, and it was inconvenient to transport the baggage, and at the same time, it also reduced the strength of the siege.

In Zhao Shuming's view, in the eyes of every Zibo executive. The weight of one Zhu Biao is far more important than the seventy thousand Han troops.

At noon on this day, when the Han army in the city was having lunch, a military order suddenly arrived: "Tonight night, there is a lot of wind and rain." All the sergeants are recuperating and recuperating, and then they will fight with their own commanders! ”

It's Zhu Biao's order!

Some of the captives who worked as laborers in the Han army were stunned, and some of the local people who had come into contact with the Han army in the past few days. I was also stunned when I heard the news.

They couldn't believe that this was a military order issued by Zhu Biao, such a prestigious general. It's a joke!

The sun in the sky is good, why is there wind and rain at night? Besides, even if there is rain, Zhu Biao's affirmative tone is too child's play. If the wind and rain are light in the evening, or if there is no wind and rain, are not the brothers preparing in vain?

But the soldiers of the Han army treated them wholeheartedly.

In the current Hedong, in the current Northern Han Dynasty, there are still a few people who don't know that Hedong Zhu Dashuai can pinch and calculate, know astronomy and geography, and say when it rains and winds, when it rains and winds?

This surprised the local people of Taoqiu and the captives in the army. Looking at the appearance of the Han army preparing with all his strength, it is like looking at a madman.

At the same time, in one afternoon, Zhu Biao's order slowly spread throughout the city.

"I don't know what to say, when I saw that the moon was bright, how did he close it!"

The local people in the city are expecting God to continue to be cheerful, and in the evening, they will slap Zhu Biao in the face once.

The north corner and the Qi country, even if the Yan country is close to the Qi country, in the psychology of the people, the two sides are also very 'far'.

Just like Zhu Biao's Jiujiang and Anqing in his previous life, they were only separated by a Yangtze River, but people on both sides would never think that they were 'one family'. What's more, there is still a Chen State between the Northern Han and Yan Kingdoms, and the Qi people seem to be completely visitors from outside the world.

Where they haven't dealt with for thousands of years, suddenly, the Han people pressed on the heads of the Qi people. No matter how supple a person is, his heart will not bow down.

The Han soldiers patrolling the streets could faintly hear the slanderous voices of the Qi people. In this regard, all the officers and men of the Han army were extremely disdainful.

I don't know my own handsome ability? The facts will prove a qiē!

At sunset, a cool breeze blows. As night fell, a light drizzle fell.

When time passed, the wind and rain became stronger and stronger, and the Qi people all over the city fell into shock.

How can the world really hope for people who know the heavens? Isn't this something that only comes out of legend?

In Weng City, Zhu Biao rode past the neatly arranged 10,000 iron horsemen. This is a ready army, with a murderous spirit and strength, but there is a kind of calmness in the battle spirit.

And Shi Cai looked at the Qi army company camp outside the city, although the camp was still so strong, but in the dark night, under the wind and rain, the order and communication between the battalions would inevitably be affected.

Zhu Biao has 15,000 iron horses, 10,000 troops, and another 5,000 iron horses hanging on the edge of the circle, once which military village dares to send troops to rescue at night, 5,000 iron horses will gallop over, killing and killing!

The rain was louder. Purple and cyan lightning flashed through the heavens and the earth, and thunder exploded. The rain was falling, and the southeast wind was still blowing.

"Opening the City Gate"

In the hazy darkness and wind and rain, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps was hidden in the sound of rain. The 10,000 iron cavalry of the night raid army rushed out from the south gate of Taoqiu, gathered into a torrent of red armor in the dark, and killed in the southeast direction along the wind and rain.

Before they reached three miles, they approached with the enemy camp. The sound of horses' hooves gradually intensified, and at the same time, hundreds of torches modified from the air death wind lamp were lit up one after another, converging into a mighty fire dragon.

The raid became a raid, or it wasn't a raid in the first place. Zhao Shuming is very vigilant, and it is difficult for Zhu Biao to sneak attack.

The movements of tens of thousands of troops could not be concealed from the reconnaissance of the scouts and masters of the Qi army.

So Zhu Biao didn't plan to hide his whereabouts!

In the nearest Qi army sub-camp, the shouts of soldiers were chaotic, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder came loudly. The fire in the entire barracks was only two bonfires under the observation deck.

Covered by the watchtower on the top, the bonfire continued to burn because it was blown by the wind, but not by the rain. The rest of the campfires and grease torches were extinguished in the pouring rain.

The sound of the gong sounded in the barracks, but the black Qi army could still be illuminated by the light of the fire in the military tent, and when it came out of the military village, even the arrangement of the rebuilding became a big problem.

In desperation, the generals in the battalion had no choice but to let the soldiers swarm to the fence of the camp wall. Tens of thousands of Qi troops were yelling, shouting, punching and kicking. Running out of the tent area and towards the camp wall.

"Wind" the officer on the wall shouted loudly.

Zhu Biao rode outstandingly. The green horse heals quickly.

"Boom" Yuanmen has been the first to burst open, and the fluorescence of innate true qi penetrates the rain curtain, and is in the heart of the solid Yuanmen weighing thousands of catties. A gap in the width of the foot burst open.

Around the gap, within five zhang, dozens of Qi soldiers took earthen planes. Dead and wounded everywhere, blood-colored. Screams and moans continued. The survivors were dumbfounded.

"Run...... Ah......h

"Those who dare to disturb the hearts of the army, behead" Some officers slashed and killed the Qi army that was running around. "Poof", a blast of wind hit him. Directly through the chest, the broken heart spurted blood rainbows, causing the man to convulsions and fall to the ground, and the body was immediately trampled by the rebels.

"Kill, ......" The red tide was irresistible, and with Zhu Biao as the sharpest, he directly penetrated the gate and broke into the camp. The thousands of Qi troops that had no establishment immediately fell apart, and there was not a single one out of ten who desperately resisted with swords and guns. There are many people who throw away their armor and desperately flee.

Alas. The battle of the Terrans in the Central Plains is a civil war, which is completely different from the fierce words of the foreign war.

In the days to come, it will probably be difficult for Zhu Biao to encounter an army that fights until the entire army is annihilated, and no one surrenders and abandons the blade.

Zhu Biao himself rushed straight to the center of the camp in a straight line. The military horses are like dragons, and the guns are like gods, killing a qiē people, camps, and antler obstacles, and filling the anti-riding ravines along the way with a completely violent bombardment......

The chaos in the military camp continued to expand and spread, and the Qi army reluctantly organized a small-scale resistance until it was killed by Zhu Biao in front of the Chinese military tent, but then it was divided into mature pieces by the Han army's iron cavalry, which broke in, and encircled and killed. The resistance of the Qi army retreated step by step, until a light flashed in front of the central military tent in the center of the sub-camp, and a Cao Zi general flag "clicked" down, and a feeling of complete despair hit the hearts of all Qi troops. After staying for a moment, the Qi army of three or two thousand in the rear camp was in an uproar, crowded towards the fence of the rear camp, and trampled countless times.

The thousands of troops in the front battalion laid down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

"How can it be so close...... In the main camp, Zhao Shuming climbed up the watchtower and looked at the southeast corner, his face sinking like water.

It is not strange for him that the Han army took advantage of the wind and rain to steal the camp, and he is not surprised that the Han army dispatched so many cavalry so quickly, but it is strange how the Han army prepared so many qi death lanterns so quickly, and each of them was transformed into torches!

Could it be that Zhu Biao has always been prepared like this?

Zhao Shuming asked himself. He felt that this was the only way to explain it.

As for saying that Zhu Biao could predict the changes in wind and rain at least half a day in advance, he didn't even think about it.

In one night, I wish Puma to step into three camps. Zhao Shuming, who was killed, went from being calm to being breathless, and when the third sub-camp was broken, when countless defeated soldiers rushed to the main camp, he sent the master of the army to take the order to the two nearby sub-camps in the southeast, asking the defenders to kill the whole army and intercept the sharp edge of the Han army.

As a result, a battalion of soldiers and horses was eaten by the unbearable 5,000 iron horsemen who had been waiting for a long time. The other battalion was puffed up by Zhu Biao, who was brave enough to be fed up by the cavalry.

Overnight, Zhao Shuming's encirclement was dug out of a huge hole by Zhu Biao. A full 40,000 troops were lost, and the five armies were completely in disarray. Five battalions of 50,000 horses, leaving 10,000 remnants. The morale of the army plummeted to freezing point.

However, there were twenty-five or six more captives in Taoqiu City.

Together with the original prisoners in the city, the total number of prisoners seemed to exceed the number of Han troops in the city, reaching more than 32,000.

Zhu Biao's magic is legendary in the city. The heroism of the Han army spread throughout the city.

And the same, "There is nothing to see! ”

It has also become the latest impression of the Han army against the Qi army.

The night was dark, the wind was howling, and the rain was crackling. The wild shouts of the Han army, the terrified shouts of their comrades, the chaotic running of countless defeated soldiers, and the sporadic torches of the dead wind are like lions hunting in a herd, driving away cowardly lambs.

Zhao Shuming's strategy of "guarding the village and waiting for change" can not be described as a stupid move.

The Han army rushed to the camp and was physically restricted. The panic of the Qi army will not last long, no matter what, as long as it drags on until the morning, this chaos will be calmed down.

This cannot be wrong.

However, the onslaught of the Han army was too violent. Break three battalions in a row, that's 30,000 people. Zhao Shuming couldn't sit still, changed his strategy, supported two battalions of reinforcements, and sent another 20,000 people to Zhu Biao. The mood of the rest of the generals in the army can be imagined.

Now the loss of 40,000 people has been determined, and the morale of the whole army is extremely low.

But it is also difficult to storm Taoqiu City. Because Zhu Biao chose to camp in the southeast corner. It is the ordnance assembly place of the 200,000 troops of the Qi army.

In the heavy rain last night, Zhu Biao seized a lot of equipment after breaking the camp, but there was no way to burn the equipment and chop it with a knife and axe. There wasn't too much damage. But it's still raining, the surface is muddy and slippery, and now the situation is pushing equipment to attack the city, which is sending people to death.

Therefore, Zhao Shuming has no way to resolve the low morale.

Inside the city of Taoqiu. Now it's a different story.

Zhu Biao destroyed 40,000 enemies with less than 1,000 casualties, and captured 25,600 of them. That's really a bargain.

Zhu Biao believes that after the news of this battle spreads, the entire Wenzhou will be impregnable.

As for whether the 100,000 Shi family army in Langzhou can turn over and make waves again. Zhu Biao is not worried.

The Shizhou Army, which was divided into three pieces, had the most prominent advantage in strength in Yonghe, which did not reach twice the level of the Han army.

With the quality and combat power of the Qi army, the Hedong Army does not need Zhu Biao to lead it personally, and one dozen or three is more than enough.

This heavy rain continued to fall for three days.

The Han army that stayed in the city was nothing, and the Qi army that stayed outside the city suffered a great disaster. The humid environment is not good for the recovery of the wounded in the first place.

Zhu Biao is a very bottomless person. After taking 25,600 prisoners into the city for a day, more than 3,000 of them were driven out of the city of Taoqiu.

There were no seriously wounded, even if there were any, they stayed in the military village and left them to the Qi army. Now Zhu Biao has even driven out the lightly injured people.

This kind of unheard of thing, the angry Zhao Shuming and other generals scolded outside the city.

Knowing that the cavalry of the Han army was strong, the Qi army hoarded grain and grass, and did not dare to move with the army. A large amount of grain and grass was hoarded in a county town more than 40 miles southwest of Taoqiu City.

These days, heavy rain drifts, and the transportation of grain and grass has also become a problem. Moreover, the Qi army, which was completely unprepared, could not hold the charcoal fire in the army. It's the middle of August, not as much as midsummer, the heavier the rain, the more refreshing, but now it's cold.

If a well-trained sergeant stays in a cold and damp environment for three days without hot food, his body will be greatly weakened.

It's a pity that this rain only fell for three days, if it continues to rain for another three days, this battle doesn't need to be fought by Zhu Biao, and Zhao Shuming himself will lead the troops back.

Wenzhou, Shimen County.

Zhou Jinwen looked at his eldest brother, with a slow sneer on his face, he really wanted to ask Zhou Yiwen, are you my brother?

Of course, I have fought with you for the throne. But now that things have passed for so long, you and I have become ordinary civilians, as for your grudge until now, will you drag me to die with you?

"Big brother, listen to the little brother's persuasion. Think twice before acting, don't think about one thought, mislead others and yourself! ”

"Sending off!"

Slapped the teacup in his hand on the table, and Zhou Jinwen shook his hand and entered the inner hall.

"You, you ......"

Zhou Yiwen, who had an innocent face, was about to scold. This unscrupulous descendant, who sold Wenyang City before, did not mention it, and now he sees that the time has come to regain the foundation, but he is still bent on being a thief, he is simply obsessed and obsessed.

Returning to his mansion angrily, Zhou Yiwen picked up a cup of black herbal tea, drank three sips in a row, and then grabbed the tea cup and broke his bones on the ground. "Shaft, Shaft"

"Hehe, eldest son, what did a certain family say? Zhou Jinwen is no longer Zhou Shuai's third son. He was frightened by Zhu Biao and the thief! ”

"Mr. Bai Er. Although the third brother is not Xiao, he is also the third brother of my Zhou Yiwen. Even if I don't follow the scheme, I won't report it to the government. Therefore, Zhou hopes that you will not be cruel to my third brother. ”

"Haha, don't worry, eldest prince. At this critical moment, there will be no extraneous branches. Your Zhou family is an important person that the Wenzhou authorities are watching. If something happens suddenly, wouldn't someone else confess to themselves? ”

Zhou Jinwen Fuzhong. After driving the boss out, Zhou Jinwen felt more and more wrong.

His own brother is a 'key criminal' who is being targeted by the authorities, and his eldest brother came to the door so clearly, without the slightest cover-up, is he not afraid of the suspicion of the county government? You must know that now is a critical juncture, and the best action for the Zhou family is to close the door and not step forward.

"No, there must be somewhere he can hold the ......"

Zhou Jinwen, who knew that his eldest brother was not a generous and sad person, suddenly stood up with a shocked face. "Isn't it, isn't it ......?"

"Yes, yes. It must be so. No, he doesn't have that much guts."

Zhou Jinwen circled around the room like a trapped beast. What to do, what to do yourself? Is it from the boss's side, or continue to stand where Zhu Biao is?

A question came to Zhou Jinwen's mind. "On the boss's side, even if the initial step can be smooth, can they finally win Zhu Shuai's 100,000 strong army?"

The Cizhou army had already repelled the coalition forces

The new news that came over not long ago also appeared in Zhou Jinwen's heart! (To be continued)
