"Light the wolf smoke and notify the rear city to prevent the Qin people from sneaking up. The cavalry can pass, but the baggage is not so easy to pass. I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in this Qin people's gourd. Bai Gui said suspiciously.
Bai Qi led a large group of elite horsemen to rush into the border of Wei with such a swagger, and as soon as he entered Wei State, he sent enough scouts and outposts to touch the villages within a radius of dozens of miles.
In Bai Qi's hands, there was the most complete map of the population distribution of Wei at that time, as long as the caravan could reach the place, on this topographic map drawn by modern mapping methods, all of them were marked. The residents of those villages and towns, where would they have thought that among those caravans, there were spies arranged by Mengyuan.
Because this was the first sortie, Bai Qi this time 5,000 elite horsemen, tens of thousands of war horses, carrying 5,000 skilled warriors with bows and horses, like a nest of locusts, swept across the border of Zhao and Wei, and at night, the sleeping cottage was a peaceful silence. Suddenly, there was a noise in the darkness, horses' hooves rumbled, and a large group of Qin cavalry broke into the village. At the beginning of their actions, they surrounded small villages, cut off their communication channels with other villages, and then forcibly relocated the inhabitants of them, the wealth of the villages was soft, and all of them were swept away, women and children, young and middle-aged laborers, all of whom were taken away, and those who could not be taken away were buried in specific places to provide a supply point for future operations. It's not that there is no power to try to resist, but in front of the five thousand strong bows, every qiē is like a floating cloud.
Then there was another village, and before you knew it, a village of dozens, hundreds of people, overnight, was razed to the ground. In most places, there is not even blood.
The wolf smoke lit by Bai Gui not only did not help these Wei people, but provided Bai Qi with enough space to move. Those fortified cities were not their goal in the first place.
The same pain is Bai Gui, since the fortress planted the flag of the Qin State, their nightmare began, every morning military songs, irregular drills in the middle of the night, so that all the Wei soldiers, are shocked, some even suffer from neurasthenia, after a long time, the Wei people in addition to leaving a certain sentry, simply accustomed to the harassment of the Qin army, as long as those Qin troops do not leave the fortress, the Wei soldiers are not moved.
So the suffering of the Wei people near the border began, groups of Wei people, who were fed medicine, drowsy and tied to horses, were taken to the fortress by the Qin cavalry of the brigade, their speed was so fast, and they always chose to rush the pass in the middle of the night, and when the Wei people found out that the Qin cavalry appeared, they could only defend, not intercept. In the fortress, there were naturally caravans to bring these people back to the Qin State for resettlement, and most of them needed to serve long-term labor to build defenses for the Qin people and reclaim wasteland. After a long enough period of labor, they would be assigned a small plot of land to live like a free people, but by then they were no longer Wei, but Qin.
After several times in a row, the Wei soldiers knew that these Qin soldiers generally would not take the initiative to attack them, so they also opened their eyes and closed their eyes, and few people would entangle with the large archers in the dark in the middle of the night. For they were the Grim Reaper, and the sharp, raining arrows and the speed of the knights were no match for the infantry. What's more, in front of them, there was another elite Qin soldier archer of five thousand people.
This team was named "Locust" by Bai Qi, taking the meaning of locusts crossing the border, and not a single grass grows. It also contains the meaning of their attack method, the locust-like arrows that move at high speed. In just one month, Bai Qi's locust army took away tens of thousands of people from Wei State, countless amounts of property, and hundreds of villages in Wei State disappeared forever, and under the strategy of fighting to feed the war, the operating cost of Bai Qi's team was almost close to zero.
When Bai Gui and the guards of several border cities learned about the good deeds of this army, everyone was stunned, it was the first time they had seen such a tactic.
If it was a famous general like Li Mu, he might tell them that this was exactly the tactic that the Huren of the Outer Regions were good at, but even if it was a famous general like Li Mu, if he faced the "locust" led by Bai Qi, he would face a bitter battle.
Soon after, the results of an encounter proved this.
Because of the ravages of "locusts", the number of residents on the Wei border has been greatly reduced, and the remaining residents are moving to cities and towns protected by city walls. This directly made Wei's food supply face a dilemma, looking at the dwindling grain and grass in the barracks, Bai Gui decided to send tens of thousands of soldiers to form a grain transportation team, and the whereabouts of this team fell into Bai Qi's eyes.
"General, the Wei people's grain team is here." A strong young cavalryman hurried into a wooded field. There, the leader of the "locusts", Bai Qi, is deploying tactics.
"Xiao Huan, tell me about their troop deployment?" Bai Qi greeted, this young man's name is Huan Qi, he was brought up from a small school, and he has a lot of effort in commanding the cavalry, and now he is the scout captain of the "Locust".
Huan Qi was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that this was Bai Qi's opportunity to show him, and hurriedly explained the other party's reality and path in detail.
"So in your opinion, how should we fight this battle?" After listening to this, Bai Qi nodded and said.
"General, this time the Wei army sent heavy troops to protect the food, and the team has both archers and horses, and there are a large number of shield players. It's a tough bone. But we have a clear advantage in speed, and they have a grain truck, so they can't catch up with us in speed. Huan Qi said.
"Exactly." Bai Qi said lightly: "Any shield has a front and a back, and there is no shield that can block enemies in all directions." Originally, we were not suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests because of our great dependence on mounts, but on the Weididuo Plateau, they had grain carts to pass through, and it was impossible for them to take those rugged trails, so they had no advantage in the terrain. In the end, we don't need anything, and they need to protect their grain trucks, which dooms them to not be able to fight at full strength. Huan Qi, tell to go down, prepare the rocket, and we will teach the Wei people a lesson. ”
After more than a month of plundering, the "locusts" of Bai Qi had swept away the villages closest to the Wei border, and inevitably engaged in several encounters with the Wei army, all of which ended in the total destruction of each other. Bai Qi believes that in order to further improve the combat ability of his team, more battles, or in other words, more enemy blood, is the most important thing. A young warrior, when he kills his first opponent, will feel fear, an experienced warrior, in the midst of a large number of killings, will feel excited, and a battle-hardened warrior will become indifferent, fighting to the death, for him has become as ordinary as eating and sleeping every day. Such warriors are butchers on the battlefield, the embodiment of death, and the enemy shuddered at the sight of them. And for the robes, they are the most trustworthy objects.
The success of one general not only illustrates the cruelty of war, but also illustrates the inevitable experience of a person from an ordinary soldier to a general. The name of the god of war is a monument built on the sea of corpses and blood.
He wants to leave Qin with a hundred battles, an invincible elite, and any enemy who dares to appear in front of this army will face the front of this elite army.
As a result, the grain transport team with heavy escort and the "locust" led by Bai Qi encountered as scheduled when both sides were fully psychologically prepared.
The commander of this Wei army is Xu Meng, who is the brother of the doctor Xu Jie, and is a member of the Wei State.
In the early morning of this day, Xu Meng and the others had used up their military rations, and they saw a scout in front of them, staggering over, and behind him was a feathered arrow that shot deep into his back.
"Enemy attack! In formation, the light cavalry spread out to the sides, ready to engage. Xu Meng was startled, a series of orders were issued, pikemen and sword and shield soldiers staggered arrays, stepped forward and unfurled, behind them, there were rows of archers, each with their bows and arrows, ready for battle, followed by two light cavalry of 1,000 people each, protecting both sides of the team.
As soon as the Wei army's formation opened, the earth shook, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, like a hurried war drum, beat everyone's ear drums.
Ten, hundred, rows of warhorses, and valiant knights on horseback, appeared on the distant horizon, like a flood of tides, swept towards their army.
"Prepare the archers, and when the enemy comes into range, release the arrows immediately." Watching the other party gradually approach, Xu Meng's face revealed bloodthirsty killing intent.
I saw the cavalry of the Qin State that was originally galloping, and suddenly Qi Zhong separated, like a big "person" word, and the whole formation opened up all of a sudden.
"What's going on?" Xu Meng was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Qin Jun's change of formation meant like this. However, the general's intuition made him react.
"Sword and shield hand, raise shield"
He roared almost hoarsely.
In his field of vision, those Qin cavalry did not rush straight over, but galloped past the sides of their own formation outside the range of their own archers. He clearly saw that those cavalrymen, moving in unison, with the power of their thumbs, drew their bows, and the sharp arrows flashed with a chill under the reflection of the sun.
