"Boom, boom, boom......"
Rolling thunder came from afar.
Looking in the direction where the sound came, I saw that the east sky was full of yellow dust, covering the sky and the sun. After a while, a black line emerged from the horizon, and then ten thousand horses galloped, ironclad and horselike, mighty.
The time is May of the thirteenth year of Yuanwu. Zhu Biao led 50,000 cavalry from Qi State, galloped in two months, and Bingzhou was finally in sight.
"The battle of the state is focused on the wolf ride!"
After more than ten years of fighting, the Tang Army has long known the root of the Northwest War. That is the unpredictable, wandering wolf ride.
If it is just the infantry of the state army, no matter how strong the combat power is, it is impossible to support this long war for thirteen years with the strength of the state. No amount of blood can be lost in the rear, this is a fundamental problem, the entire annex state is broken, the fields are barren, and the grain production has plummeted to 30% before the war.
However, the annexation states persevered, and even when the rest of the states fell, they remained as stable as a mountain and remained unmoved.
What is the reason for this?
Just in the state wolf ride.
The barren fields became wilderness, giving the state wolf the foundation to ride in all directions. They can go around the city at will, anyway, the gallop road, the official road and the country dirt road trail are not much different after years of desertion.
This also did not merge the wolf cavalry to wantonly guerrilla behind the Tang Army and the Xia Army front. No matter how many troops the two armies have, it is impossible to blockade the entire state for thousands of miles from north to south and east to west, right?
The blockade of the army depends on the city. Leaving the city, what kind of blockade is that? The line of defense of the papier-mâché will be broken with a single stab.
It is impossible for the barren annexed states to provide any material food and grass to the millions of armies on both sides. A large number of people fled to the four directions, and as the war continued, there was not even enough power to transport people.
The Tang and Xia armies needed to travel thousands of miles to transport grain and grass from other states on a large scale to Bingzhou. This is the lifeline of the two armies, but it is always exposed to the knife edge of the wolf cavalry of the state.
As long as he wants, the wolf cavalry can randomly cut off the supply of supplies for the two armies. Unless the Tang and Xia armies sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to accompany each material transfer. But the consumption of grain in that way is an astronomical amount that no one can sustain for a long time.
Based on the same reasoning. The Tang-Xia coalition army also repeatedly sent cavalry to attack the transportation lines of the state. However, the transportation line of Bingzhou was always protected by the left and right arches of the city, and the imperial court also knew the importance of the route, and the army stationed along the line was not less than the number of troops fighting on the front line. Moreover, whether it is the Xiliang cavalry or the Youzhou iron cavalry, their ability to cut off transportation lines and attack is far, far worse than that of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. Regardless of the concealment and speed of the long-distance attack, or the time of persistence in field operations, the Liangzhou cavalry and the Youzhou iron cavalry were thrown off three streets by the Bingzhou wolf cavalry.
This is a confrontation of comprehensive strength.
Tang and Xia continued to lose their vitality, and Tianjing was also constantly bleeding. So. The state army repelled the attacks of the coalition forces many times, but it was unable to regain lost ground with a large-scale counterattack.
If neither side can find a way to kill the enemy, just like the trench warfare of Zhu Biao's previous life, it will continue to bleed and consume until one side is unable to hold on.
In the hands of the Tang Army, half of Yanmen, half of Shangdang, and 21 county towns were in the hands of the Tang Army.
The reason why it only controls half of the county. That's because Yanmen has Yanmen Pass, Shangdang has Huguan, and there are two important transportation places. It is also a natural dangerous pass, and the blood shed by the Tang army in the two passes can dye the earth red, but it still fails to take it.
And if they can't win these two levels, the Tang army will attack Jinyang. There is no safety guarantee for logistics and transportation, and it is necessary to go around the boss in a circle and travel thousands of miles. It is different from Zhu Biao's previous life, and the merger of states and ditches in the history of the two Han Dynasty in China. Although there are dangers of mountains and rivers, this annexed state is still a vast plain.
In the thirteen years of fighting, several times, the two armies of Tang and Xia surrounded Jinyang in the east and west. However, because Huguan and Yanmen Pass have always been tightly guarded by the Bingzhou army, the Bingzhou wolf rode out of the inner line and jumped outside to make waves.
The logistical supply could not support the consumption of the million-strong army, and finally had to retreat. The state army soon regained many cities.
After going back and forth, the direction of the Tang army and the Xia army changed. At the same time as the military offensive, every time the two armies attacked the inner hinterland of the Jin army, they destroyed civilian infrastructure on a large scale.
Wells are filled, dams are dug, aqueducts are smashed, fields are sprinkled with salt, forests are cut down!
In the end, the most vicious means is to move the young and strong, leaving the old and weak women and children. Take the labor yourself and leave the backpack for the state army.
But it was precisely the ruthless methods of the Tang and Xia armies that attracted the common people and gentry of the state and all classes to resist and fight to the death.
What the gains and losses of the Tangxia coalition army are in this way, no one can discern clearly.
Zhu Biao drove straight into Lucheng.
This is the most southwestern of the nine counties in Yanmen controlled by the Tang army. Further south, there is Taiyuan County in Bingzhou. Further south of Taiyuan County, it is Shangdang.
At the gate of the county seat, Zhu Biao met Tang Bin, the commander of the Tang Army sitting in Yanmen.
"Your Highness, get rid of it as soon as you get rid of it."
Tang Bin, who has gray hair, is only in his forties and is in the prime of life. Zhu Biao had seen him in Tang Wangfu at the beginning, and he was full of spirit. And now, a man who is obviously in his forties is an old sixty-year-old general.
There is no longer the original recklessness, he calls Zhu Biao 'His Royal Highness', not Zhu Shuai. You know, at that time, he could directly call Zhu Biao 'General Zhu'. At that time, the Tang King called Zhu Biao 'Zhu Shuai' or 'Zhu Qing' when he saw Zhu Biao in person.
"Tang Shuai is at ease." Zhu Biao, who has competed with the wolf rider in Bingzhou, is not at all sure in his heart.
This battle must be fought, and it must be fought well. Play majestic, play arrogance, play status.
Then there is the fact that he won the battle in the northwest and gave Tang Wang a good solution.
Thirteen years have passed since the war. Is it really going to be like the Rebellion of the Five Kings, going on for more than 30 years?
If he won the war earlier, he would have gotten out early and return to his own one-third of an acre of land.
In five days, 50,000 Qi troops, yes, Qi troops. Zhu Biao is already the king of Qi, and his army is naturally called Qi Jun. After passing through Taiyuan County and jumping into Xihe County, but the non-stop, the soldiers obviously did not refer to Xihe. Instead, it is necessary to go further into the upper county, and the goal is directly aimed at the transportation artery of the state.
So he ran into the Wolf Rider.
The banner of the coming army is 'Nie', this is the commander of more than 100,000 wolf horses in the state, Nie Yuan, the general of Anbei of the Great Zhou, personally went out.
Thirteen years ago in Bozhou, Zhu Biao fought with 30,000 wolf riders in Bingzhou for a long time. When he finally got out, he leaned on the avalanche of the terrain, and he was very pitted and rode a wolf. In one fell swoop, more than 10,000 people under Beizhong Lang General Li Yuanheng were destroyed. Coupled with the results of the previous battle, the 30,000 wolf riders who appeared in that battle were able to return to the state. I'm afraid there is no one of the three.
But in a series of fights, the quality and fighting spirit of the wolf riding in the state are not regrettable.
And the Bingzhou wolf ride naturally has a deep memory of Zhu Biao.
Now that Zhu Biao is here, the wolf rider in the state naturally wants to avenge the 'pit'.
The main general Nie Yuan personally went out on horseback, and the 145,000 wolf riders who had been sharpened and increased in the war also came directly to the 100,000 people.
"Even if you put 100,000 elite infantry armor, the effect is better than 100,000 wolf rides!"
Looking at the 100,000 wolf riders on the opposite side, Zhu Biao was compassionate. It was the hatred of the gnashing teeth that confused the Bingzhou army, and they even sent the Bingzhou wolf rider to confront themselves head-on.
What a bunch of pathetic bastards!
"Only our army has an advantage in speed. It has made all the advantages of the wolf ride in the state come to naught. The one surnamed Nie has a muddy brain. ”
Zhu Zhenguo, who was standing next to Zhu Biao, said so.
In one word, the truth is revealed! Zhu Biao glanced at him appreciatively. Now the second batch of children of the Zhu family has fully grown up.
The cavalry light can shoot arrows and has a bird's use. Speed and the return firing of the horses in front of the formation are the core combat power of the wolf cavalry. Like Genghis Khan's Mongol cavalry. And the Bingzhou wolf rider from the agricultural civilization has good equipment and excellent hand-to-hand combat ability, and has the impact power and fighting power of breaking the enemy formation. Another level of victory over the Mongol cavalry.
Overall, they are a group of enhanced Mongolian horsemen.
But in front of Zhu Biao, when the fundamental factor of speed fell behind. Is there still a place for the kite-flying tactics of wolf riding?
Before they could shoot two arrows back, Zhu Biao's iron cavalry had already killed them in the back. Will the wolf ride the horse and turn back, or wait for death?
I won't talk about it when I die. And beating the horse back, just a disadvantage in speed, can make them die ten times more without life.
The most correct tactic of the state army should be that you fight yours and I fight mine. Instead of sending the precious 100,000 Bingzhou wolf horses into Zhu Biao's tiger mouth as it is now.
"Eat them and leave not a single one"
Fight a beautiful victory! A reminder to everyone, I wish Biao is back!
Zhu Biao shouted and ordered, and the generals on the left and right behind him suddenly received the order.
The gallop of 150,000 cavalry, the sound of horses' hooves louder than the thunder in the sky, the clouds in the sky that shook dissipated, and the earth trembled under their feet.
The blood was like a river, the heads were rolling, and the sun covered his faces, and he couldn't bear to see it.
The rain of arrows failed to bring blood flowers, but the collision killed 10,000 people.
One after another, the unavoidable wolf rode in the state, dancing with knives and guns and fighting with a hiss. But how can the chain mail on them, which is more anti-arrow, be comparable to the thick iron armor of Zhu Biao's cavalry?
is also a shot, and the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou can only barely pierce it, but the cavalry of Qi can penetrate the heart.
It is also a knife, and the wolf cavalry of the state can at most let the opponent hang the lottery, but the cavalry of the Qi State can cut it in two.
The imaginary scene has completely changed, and the spirit of the wolf rider is about to collapse. They never, never thought that one day they would not even be able to escape.
How sad and sad this is compared to the prestige of the wolf rider in the state.
Nie Yuan lost even his helmet in the chaos. 100,000 wolf riders, the first-class elite of the imperial court in the northwest in the past, after only an hour of fighting, the defeat was decided. By now, the noon sun had not yet reached the middle of the sky, and he had been defeated like a mountain, and he could not even control all his own soldiers.
"Kill"
Dressed in bright and bright armor, Zhu Biao drove the horse and raised the gun, and his heart was full of spirit.
Such a happy rush has not been experienced for several years since Hu Di was convicted.
The wind swept in his ears, the war horse was galloping, and his heart was experiencing the pleasure of speed in the wind.
"Gao Rou. Go back and tell Sù Yancheng that Zhu Biao's cavalry cannot be defeated and cannot be fought with it. They're too fast!
Before this point is resolved, don't lead the troops to make up your mind with Zhu Biao. Let him remember, Zhu Biao beats Zhu Biao, and let him run amok. We hit ours. Leave him alone. ”
In the end, he is a famous general in the northwest, Nie Yuan has already figured out the fundamental reason why he was defeated based on the experience of this battle. The best answer to this question is also given!
But it was clear that he wasn't ready to live. Otherwise, why would he personally go to sue Li Yancheng, the deputy marshal who stayed behind.
"Great. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you must not take your own life. Gao Rou was taken aback, what her handsome man meant, he was not going to go back alive. How can this work?
The great names of the wolf riders in the state over the years were all fought by the big marshal and the brothers. Let the wolf ride of Bingzhou, which is the same name as the Xiliang Iron Horse and the Youzhou Iron Horse, crossed it in one fell swoop.
"A hundred thousand good sons, because I am a light enemy, I am defeated. I don't know if I can escape? What other face does Nie Yuan have to see his hometown fathers and soldiers?
You don't have to persuade me. I have made up my mind, and I will fight to the death to pay for my sins. Go quickly! ”
Zhu Biao didn't see this parting of life and death in the chaos. When he saw Nie Yuan, it was already just a head.
With a sword in his hand, Nie Yuan slashed dozens of cavalry soldiers in the battle, and there were even five officers above the military Sima level, wrapping Zhu Zhong's lieutenant. Angry Zhu Zhong after his death. I can't wait to break it into pieces.
Zhu Biao respected this person's excellent temperament, and when the whole army was defeated, he did not flee for his life early, but urged his subordinates to ride in person. Then there were the defeated soldiers who recruited the rebel army and fought the rearguard.
At this point, if he didn't want to use other people's heads as a deterrent, Zhu Biao would not have cut off his corpse.
One last word. Nie Yuan's martial arts are as good as the previous Beizhong Lang general Li Yuanhenglai. Zhu Zhong was in a hurry, except for his own lieutenant, who had just been named a viscount. There is also the shame that he is not Nie Yuan's opponent.
One knife for another!
If it weren't for the inner armor on his body, he would have been seriously injured. Then the arrows were fired, the bows and crossbows were put together, and Nie Yuan, who was slashed in the shoulder, was not in the formation.
"Good, good, good!"
In June, the sun is blazing. In the Tang Palace, Beijing, it is also hot and cool.
But Tang Wang Jifa in the study is like eating three popsicles in a row, which is cool and refreshing from the inside out. "Hahaha......" hearty laughter was heard far away.
"It's really the best of the lonely king. Optimus Jade Pillar, Optimus Jade Pillar. ”
In the inner study, he was not the only one who was happy. Five or six henchmen and civil servants were all full of flowers on their faces, full of joy from the inside out.
Why? Because the paperwork for Zhu Biao's victory has arrived.
He entered the first battle in the northwest, at the junction of Shangjun and Taiyuan, 50,000 iron cavalry defeated 100,000 wolf cavalry and state wolf cavalry, beheaded more than 40,000, captured 40,000, a famous general of the Turkic official army, and the commander of the wolf cavalry of the state, Nie Yuan, the general of Anbei.
Along with the report, there was also a joint recital of the two main generals of the front line of the state. This is not specifically for Zhu Biao, but like taking something from Zhu Biao.
Ji Fa was also happy for a while before picking up the watch and looking at it. Then the smile retracted, and the brow furrowed unconsciously. "But it's really weird!"
Then he handed the recital to the civil and military ministers below, and said: "Not only Tang Bing and Song Zuoxian, this king has already paid attention." The spies didn't know how much they sent, and the silver and gold were even bigger, and they spent a lot of money, and they still haven't figured out the reason why Zhu Qing's iron horse is so fast! ”
King Tang sighed and rejoiced, but more was entangled!
Zhu Biao is affected by the system, and the soldiers and horses under his command are so prominent, why don't they attract the attention of outsiders?
At first, some people thought that Zhu Biao was very good at training.
The infantry and cavalry soldiers of the veteran Hedong Army are indeed excellent and strong.
But on the horses used by the cavalry, this qiē is not explained.
The war horses of the Hedong Army are very high, but they are also at the level of war horses. Zhu Biao's strength is far inferior to the gorgeous Imperial Forest Army in Tianjing City, and the war horses of ordinary soldiers are all horse-level first-class.
But the speed at which Zhu Biao marched was really fast, which was puzzling and incomprehensible.
It's obviously a first-class war horse, how can it march faster than a horse? The dash on the battlefield is faster and faster.
Originally, when the enemy had three arrows, when he hit them, he could shoot two arrows quickly.
Tang Wang would not have guessed that Zhu Biao had such a cheating device, he only thought that this was Zhu Biao's secret method. The secret of training to fight!
Tang Wang wanted to get this secret method very much, very much. But he also took into account Zhu Biao's reaction! After all, there was a very unpleasant beginning between the two, and Tang Wang was afraid that if he reached out to ask for this, Zhu Biao's impression of himself would be ruined. Let the two of them maintain a good cooperative relationship, broken!
This world is a classical society, not a modern society where patents are rampant.
There are many unique know-how and secrets in any profession and any doorway, which are not made public, not passed on, or even passed on only to men and not women, and are 'confidential' recognized by social morality.
If you force it, it is a forcible grab! It is criticized.
In the eyes of King Tang, Zhu Biao's secret method is obviously extremely precious and does not leak out. If you want to force yourself, first, there is a loss in moral righteousness, and you can't stand at the highest point; Second, it is very likely that Zhu Biao will jump to his feet, and the relationship that could have been broken down. even pushed Zhu Biao to the opposite side of himself!
There are six anti-kings in the world, Tang Xianning, Liang Zheng, and the five kings do not say. The Fu King in the southeast corner, although he is silent, has been burying his head in devouring the territory of the surrounding counties and counties, expanding his own force and armament.
Imperial court, Zhu Biao may not go back. But what about the remaining five, who doesn't compete to welcome them? When the time comes, it will be a big gain that outweighs the loss. (To be continued)
