Chapter 161: Evolution (Part II)

The sunshine of early spring, the chill of the bone.

The sound of the horn, within a radius of 100 miles, 80,000 enemy soldiers are densely packed, on the staggered city walls of the two sides, shouting and killing are endless, one is like a flood, surging and rushing, and one is like an iron gate, strong and defensive, these tragic ......

King Anchang silently looked at the county seat, where the military flag of Da Chu was dancing in the wind.

"Still won't surrender?" King An Chang asked.

"Exactly, even though he repeatedly shot arrows into the letter, he didn't answer, so he was determined to defend it." The person who answered was a Han man, about forty years old, and he bowed down and said: "As for Neiying, in this county, the original 200 households have been controlled, and if there is a slight commotion, they will be captured and killed, and it will be difficult to succeed. ”

Saying that, he sighed slightly, I thought that Tuntian was outside the pass, how good it was to plunder, I didn't think of a little around the city, but found that the fort of Tuntian, although the outside is all fields, but I can't see any farmhouses, hundreds of miles on the road, there are only some forts, these forts, although not too high, but the walls are thick, what is more terrible is that there are almost no dead ends, thousands of people attack it, it is difficult to overcome

This immediately aroused the high vigilance of the Anchang Palace, and the Anchang King, who had lived in the Han area for ten years, immediately discovered the danger, and after several temptations, coupled with the problems arising from a period of time, he understood the danger - these military forts were lined up, all of which were isolated by military law

Yes, although there is ore in the southwest, it is difficult to mine, and there is a shortage of craftsmen, and the weapons and grain of the Anchang army relied on plunder and tradeβ€”naturally there were many Han merchants who did not hesitate to sell salt, iron and grain for huge profits.

But now, the military forts outside the pass have made this thirty miles out of the pass a place of death, there are no civilians there, all food and goods are distributed by the shogunate, and there is no communication between the forts at all, so as long as the merchants enter, they cannot hide at all. He was immediately arrested, all the goods he was carrying were confiscated (for the discovered Juntun), and all the personnel were tortured. Ask where it came from.

According to secret information, most of the merchants involved were assassinated, annexed, and robbed.

It was only half a year, so that four of the five channels that originally flowed in were cut off, and Anchang was suddenly isolated

Barbarians are also people. No matter how tough it is, you have to eat

There is nothing wrong with 600,000 barbarians. But there are only 100,000 men to fight. Ten years of conquest. There were many deaths. Now there are only 80,000 men who can fight. This time, almost all of them were recruited

But the man who can fight is the strong man. The main workforce. So. Whether it is for agriculture or animal husbandry. The population is suddenly insufficient

Not to mention satisfying the military land industry

Such as clothes. To plant hemp. To be tile. To be transported

Such weapons are even more troublesome. Mining requires a large population. When the mines are opened, iron must be smelted. The number of people needed in the current conditions is not a small number. Iron was smelted. The manufacturing process is also extremely troublesome

Originally, it could be plundered from time to time, and there was an influx of merchants, and I didn't feel anything. Now it has only been cut off for half a year, and the situation suddenly broke out - only one-third of the food can be self-sufficient, and one-tenth of the iron can only be self-sufficient

This is naturally an impossible thing, so this time, it is imperative

"Hey, don't you even want the title of the county king?" Consider the above. King Anchang also knows. When I heard that I didn't surrender, I couldn't help but say. The conditions of Xu Zhi's surrender have reached the position of the king of the county, but the other party is still indifferent.

"Let Qiance camp!" He gritted his teeth and said.

The herald got the order, and saw a group of brute soldiers going straight up, the team was neat, and it was obvious that they had gone through military law.

The horns sounded continuously, and the offensive became more and more intense.

The corpses that were crisscrossed and intertwined, regardless of friend and foe, were folded and stacked on the edge of the city wall, and the personnel fought each other, blood gushed out, and from time to time someone with a terrible scream, fell down and fell into a bloody flesh patty.

But with the order, more and more elite enemy troops rushed forward, and the cold light of the entire dense sword was dazzling...... Time is flowing, blood is constantly flowing, suddenly, in the distance, the horn sounded, the banner came like a forest, and suddenly the morale of the less than 5,000 defenders in the county town was greatly shocked and cheered

Fang Xinzhuo stood on top of a new castle and watched the battle from afar

This year, he was thirty-five years old, dressed in a three-grade official uniform, his face was calm, his eyes were deep and unpredictable, faintly, he had the atmosphere of intimidating ten thousand people, and his eyes fell on the eighty thousand barbarians in the distance.

The drums of war shook the sky

On the frontal battlefield, 130,000 people have been gathered, and the soldiers of each fort, half soldiers and half civilians, have all been mobilized, which is difficult to calculate.

Fang Xin's Chinese army, 3,000 people, was distributed inside and outside the fort, and the weapons were shining cold, adding to the atmosphere of killing.

"Hehe, will the barbarians also besiege the city for reinforcements? I don't know how to break my fort army? Seeing the situation, Fang Xin smiled and said lightly.

"Besieging the city for reinforcements, what the adults said is true, but at this time, the field battle is not a field war." Shen Xuan said: "Within thirty miles of my waiting, even a hundred forts, each fort is stationed with a battalion, together with the militia in the fort, there are thousands of people, and it is difficult for ten thousand people to take it." ”

"The battle is like a forest, and Xu Zhan enters the fort, although it is outside the pass, especially in the pass, there is the danger of mountains and rivers." Someone behind him said in admiration: "In this way, how can the barbarians win?" ”

The banner in the wind floated like a forest, and Zhang Zhuo, the counselor of Wen Bo, smiled and said: "The people of the military households are all in the fort, how can they not fight to the death?" And this kind of fort, although 10,000 people, half a month may not be able to get down, the barbarian division poured its soldiers is only 80,000, and now the city has folded 5,000, see how many forts can it break? ”

"The group of forts is densely spread outside the pass for thirty miles, and the armies are fighting according to the fort on their backs, surrounded by three sides and a half, and the tiger looks at its camp, the strategy of the lord is great!" Even Zhou Bingbin, the general of the Xia Guangwei Guard, couldn't help but say in praise.

"In fact, the battle situation has been decided, I have the method of eight characters, the enemy enters and I defend, the enemy retreats and I advance, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, and the enemy is tired and I fight." Fang Xin said at this time.

As soon as these eight characters came out, everyone thought about it, and they all realized it, and they were suddenly overjoyed, saying: "If the adults have this strategy, the barbarians will be defeated!" ”

Originally, Fang Xin looked down on this eight-character tactic in ancient times, the reason was very simple, to achieve this effect, there were two major requirements. First of all, there must be a radio station to remote control, and secondly, there must be a solid base (or the inseparable relationship between the army and the group was certainly not in ancient times, and Fang Xin sent out guerrilla warfare. It is also difficult to control the dispatch of troops for fifty miles, so they have to resign themselves to fate, depending on their luck, how much they can come back, and how can they be dispatched

Secondly, no matter how good the relationship between the military and the group is, it was of no use in ancient times. For example, Fang Xin's guerrilla warfare, the result was that within a hundred miles, the Han people were almost slaughtered, and even the foundation was gone, so what kind of politics did you talk about?

In ancient times, the policy of slaughter basically negated many seemingly wise policies, and in Fang Xin's half-tone, the reason why a certain party on the earth won the world the most was in the 2nd century, at that time. Massacres are no longer feasible.

If it is three hundred years in the morning, it can slaughter 100,000 at one time, and then 300,000 again. In the era of three slaughters of millions, what is the relationship between fish and water, the relationship between the army and the group, if not all scum, it is also half scum, and it can only be defended by the city. to be able to secure the rear.

However, in this particular case, this can be done.

There are many fortresses, that is, strong bases, troops can be fought, return troops can be defended, and the enemy can only be exhausted!

And it is less than 30 miles, and when dispatched, it can basically reach "the enemy enters and I defend." The enemy retreats, and I advance. The enemy is stationed in us to disturb us, and the enemy is tired and I fight".

"Sun Tzu's Art of War: Those who know what they can fight and those who can't fight win. Those who know the use of the few wins, those who want the same up and down win, those who treat the people who are not safe win, and those who will be able to win but not the king. These five are the way to win. Therefore, it is said: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not lose in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; If you don't know who you are, you will lose every battle. At this time, the new Zhang Hong also said to himself: "Adults can be regarded as the essence of these sentences, first for their own invincible, and then for the enemy to win, and the same desire from top to bottom, but also to get its gist, there are adults, no matter how difficult it is to enter!" ”

This is the same desire, won Fang Xin's heart, it is Fang Xin's proud work, and he can't help nodding and smiling - in each fort, the families of the soldiers are located, and who dares to retreat?

A battalion of troops arranged in the fort is not only to resist the enemy, but also to supervise the family members in the fort, and there is also a supervising army directly under the control of Fang Xin, and the fortification of the fortress reassures the soldiers.

At this time, the perfect effect is achieved, but the so-called life and death are the same, but the so-called upper and lower desires are the same, this is the art of war.

"It's a pity that due to this war, this year's military rations for reclamation are only half." Zhang Hong said with a sigh to himself.

"It doesn't matter, this time, this army is invincible, the only thing below is consumption, and the barbarian division will die one less person, and it will not be able to hold on." Fang Xin waved his hand and said: "As for the food, after the war, Benfu can solve it." ”

As he spoke, he said to Shen Xuan, the chief officer: "After the war, no matter how much you lose, when you go to the imperial court, you will say that you will behead 20,000 enemy troops, and our army will only lose 3,000. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone looked at each other, and now in the county alone, the loss is more than three thousand!

Zhou Bingbin, the general of Xia Guangwei, couldn't help asking: "My lord, is this inappropriate?" ”

"What's wrong, the military camp has been completed, and the displaced people can also be enriched with 20,000 soldiers from each household, and if they come on a mission from the imperial court, they will see that our army is at its peak, with 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers, or even 80,000 soldiers!" Only Shen Xuan immediately understood Fang Xindi's intentions, but he immediately spoke.

Su Ji is dead, Jiang Zhe, the commander of the Tiger Benwei, was killed with a rod, and the deputy commander Meng Xi succeeded him, which shows that Gao Mingtong's usurpation of power has entered the most intense and critical stage

If, after this battle, countless casualties are reported, and the strength is greatly damaged, maybe both the saint and the high master will have to think about taking the army by the way - although this may not be big, but it also exists

However, if you show great strength, even if you blatantly tell nonsense, it doesn't matter, at this time, whether it is a saint or a high master, they are beyond the reach of the whip, but they have to be appeased

Besides, Tuntian has been completed, and his dependence on the imperial court has been reduced a lot, so Fang Xin can act like this

The people present are all smart people, and if you think about it, a few of them will change color

Fang Xin didn't say a word, looked up from afar, and saw that the barbarian army under the city was worthy of being the elite of the ten-year battle, all of them were extremely fierce, although they saw Fang Xin's army coming, they still maintained a rushing offensive against the county, sneered, Fang Xin waved his hand and ordered

Suddenly, a war drum resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The 30,000 troops that have been prepared, spearmen, rattan soldiers, and archers. Layer upon layer, pushing a long cart, putting on a large array. Slowly marched forward, while the two thousand cavalry, not moving at all, waited for Fang Xindi's order.

The murderous aura rose to the sky, and in the increasingly urgent drumbeat, the sound of the armor shaking was endless.

Originally, it was impossible to push a long car for a long time. But the county seat is only ten miles away from the fort, and it is convenient for the car to push forward - this distance is just right, if the enemy retreats, it is just right to enter the city to support, at that time, it will be difficult for the barbarian army to make a difference!

And the enemy army, also sent out of the army, and gave an order. Rushing straight like a torrent.

The crowds of people on both sides collided with each other for a moment, and the sound of killing roared into the sky. First, there was a "poof", and the arrows shot by the archers made the sky dark, and the ground rained down, splashing and falling, and countless blood-colored waves fell. The barbarian cavalry, however, was not afraid of death and rushed forward one after another

But when they arrived in front of the car, it was difficult to break through, and the spears pierced straight through, bows and arrows rained down, and the sound came.

"If I were an enemy army, I should have retreated a long time ago, and I would have fought like this. There are only constant losses. It's hard to make a difference. Fang Xin saw it and said with a sneer.

"That's what my lord said. However, if you don't fight, I'm afraid that it will be even more difficult in the future, and in another half a month, the food and money will be exhausted, and I am afraid that the enemy army will have to disarm and return to the fields, and even 30,000 soldiers will not be able to make up. ”

The group of forts is a group, all of them are military households, and the military law disposes of them, and the people of each fort are not allowed to go out of ten miles away unless they are ordered, which forms a thirty-mile isolation area, and any merchant entering is a dead end.

Although it is not this road, but the other roads must be crossed in the mountains and forests, and the goods that can be transported are less than one-tenth of the normal amount, and the consumption is ten times higher.

As soon as the goods were cut off, organizations similar to the Manchu Qing were immediately on the verge of collapse, which is why the Ming Dynasty court came to deal with Yuan Chonghuan's great crime

The imperial court has four crimes - ineffective entrustment, deception, theft of market capital, and seeking money to lure the enemy

Among them, the theft of rice in the city and the luring of money to the enemy were to give the Manchu Qing grain and money so that they could survive and grow, which was really a real crime, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty in those years, even if they cut off the connection with the Central Plains, they could still rob North Korea

In this world, once the trade routes are cut off at every turn, this Anchang King is like a dragon without water, and it will be difficult to survive - to put it mildly, it is actually fifty years in the morning.

In another fifty years, the barbarian division can multiply to millions, and the Han people in the territory can also multiply to millions, in this way, the Han people will cultivate for it, it will be enough to consume, and it can also maintain a strong combat effectiveness, at that time, it can send 300,000 troops - the Sandong Pass alone is 80,000 people, and it may not be able to defend it, even if it is guarded, it will have to absorb a lot of blood from the imperial court

With such a decline, once there is civil strife in the interior, it can still win the world, but now, there is nothing that can be done, if the trade is cut off, even self-protection is not enough - the Han nationality in the territory was originally only 500,000, but if Fang Xin did this, it suddenly dropped to 350,000, and the hatred is endless, even if it is pacified, it is difficult to feed enough barbarians to farm!

Of course, the wonder of dragon qi, if it can't break through externally, then it will be chaotic internally, but Fang Xin has long been prepared for this - the magic of the military tun lies in having both internal and external capabilities, and the outside can resist the enemy, and the inside can reclaim the field

With this, if the imperial court asks for guilt, it is enough to defend itself, Fang Xin has already made up his mind, no matter what happens, he will not go out of the customs and enter Beijing, and besides, hundreds of miles along the way, there is dense surveillance, if there is an unfavorable Qin messenger coming, he will be killed halfway

Therefore, Fang Xincai wants to play a setback, no matter what the result is, he will be ashamed to shout: "Our army is strong and strong, and we have won a big victory, and this oath will be a complete victory, and the king's life will not be affected outside." ”

The essence of the war, hitting the ground is the general trend, fighting is the pattern, fighting is politics, and, due to the ten-year war in the southwest, even the nearby provinces, have almost evacuated the elite soldiers, really forced Fang Xin, played the banner of the Qing monarch's side, the nearby provinces are open land, an army is desirable, not necessarily no one responds - the so-called Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know, now the heart of the high phase, passers-by know, the world's soldiers and wealthy families, are all dissatisfied, with this banner, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos immediately

Of course, Fang Xin doesn't want this, if he does this, he will have no way out, maybe he will make a wedding dress for others, this is just a last resort, if he can, Fang Xin would rather put a clear banner to divide the situation

The dragon of shallow water in the west, quietly watching in the Central Plains, the way of survival and evolution, all in the hands, just a few steps, it is already a three-percent chance of victory, and when the civil strife in Dachu is completed, it can be formalized into a dragon

The husband war lies in the temple calculation, the decisive victory is in the thousands of miles, and the existence is in one heart, which is to be stored in one heart, and play with the heroes of the world in the palm of the hand.
