CHAPTER XXVIII
readx;?? A day later, Zhang Jiashi found out that he had overestimated Wei's Lou Chuanshi troops, because Wei Bao's construction in this area was better than nothing in a sense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][].. []οΌ.. οΌ
Because Li Ping's Heshuilou boat sergeant unit only launched a round of port attacks in the northern part of the Zhongmu area, the "small sampans" of Wei, together with some Wei Guolou boat sergeants who had no intention of fighting at all and were about to collapse at the touch of a button, clearly explained what is called killing chickens with knives......
Well, Zhang Jiashi, who faced this situation, had to say that his battle this time could be said to have been tilted by the balance of victory.
Although Zhang Jiashi now thinks that he himself is not a good chance of winning, since he has made such a good start, Zhang Jiashi naturally led the army east to Hanguguan and attack Sanchuan County according to the original plan.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Although, through a series of intelligence feedback, Zhang Jiashi knew that the current situation in Sanchuan County was quite bad.
But he hadn't imagined it would be so bad.
When the army marched eastward along the Eastern Road, the last time Zhang Jiashi led the army north to Linjin Road, it was a calm and tranquil situation, with men farming and women weaving.
He even remembered that many children were curiously looking at the advancing army.
But......
Now, there is only one abandoned countryside in the vicinity, and the barren farmland has not even been buried, and the bones are scattered in many places......
Zhang Jiashi thought for a moment and muttered, "Let the army also restrain these bones when they are marching." β
Sun Po, who was following Zhang Jiashi, also sighed softly: "The world is all suffering, king, how can those people understand the suffering of all the people?"
The people Sun Po mentioned include the first emperor Yingzheng. After all, Yingzheng is really in a hurry in this regard, and it also consumes a lot of people's power.
But if Emperor Wushi unifies the world and ushers in more than ten years of recuperation for the Great Qin Empire, then what kind of situation will become now, Zhang Jiashi himself can't predict.
In Zhang Jiashi's heart. All this has become such a situation that the sins of the remnants of the six nations cannot be forgiven.
......
As the commander of the vanguard army, Ruan Weng Shao, after leaving the eastern pass of the Cuihan Road, engaged in fierce battles with the small defenders of the Wei army stationed in some cities.
However, the military equipment of those counties was deserted, and it was simply impossible to resist the impact of the vanguard army under Nguyen Ong Thieu.
On the first day of the year in 205 BC, the Great Qin Empire once again controlled the two ends of the Kunhan Road, adding a weight to the security of the Guanzhong region.
Zhang Jiashi faced this result. A thought came to my mind about whether the ferry, which was supposed to be used for river transportation, should be passed through the Kuohan Road. Then he went east on the Cuihan Road, but Zhang Jiashi quickly gave up this idea, as a large amount of grain and grass would still be more dangerous to pass through the Cuihan Road, and it would be more difficult to transport it, so Zhang Jiashi still had to give up such an idea.
Because there is no safer place in the Kanto region than outside of Hakoya Pass. And even if Hexi County in the north is not considered an area controlled by Zhang Jiashi, but with the strength of the small princes in the northern part of Hexi County, Zhang Jiashi really doesn't pay too much attention to it.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
With the gradual advance of the army, in just ten days. The progress of the troops of the Qin Army of the Third Route once again achieved corresponding results.
The two units of the Northern Route Army Corps defeated the rabble under Zang Tu's command and quickly recovered the southern area of Guangyang County, which was controlled by Zang Tu.
Zang Di was unable to go north at this time, because the Qin army troops in the direction of Hengshan County contained a considerable number of his main forces.
He didn't understand why the Qin army was moving south at this time, but after he learned that the direction of Shangdang County and the direction of Sanchuan County were also attacked by the Qin army's troops, it was already nearly half a month later.
Zang Di is a human spirit. For such a development of the battle situation, he clearly saw the purpose of Zhang Jiashi's operation.
Naturally, he didn't want to lose everything about him, because he, the King of Zhao, had a lot of rights that he had never had before.
But the development of the war situation forced him to think about where his path would extend.
He claims to be one of the heroes of the world, but Zang Di knows one thing very well, that is, the combat effectiveness of the army under his command is not the opponent of the Qin army at all.
And the messenger he sent to the rescue of Qi and Wei did not return, and he knew very well that it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to fight against the Qin army with the strength of his own hands alone.
But. At this time, Zhang Jiashi sent someone to convey a letter to him, that is, Zang Er gave birth to a great-grandson.
His grandson-in-law is actually Zhang Jiashi.
After Zang Di saw this letter, he didn't have an angry expression, on the contrary, he put down this letter very calmly.
Regardless of what Zhang Jiashi planned to do about this matter, or Zhang Jiashi was using this matter to show favor to him. Zang Di himself knew very well that with his increasingly weak strength, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to fight against Zhang Jiashi.
He didn't know what the benefits of surrendering to Zhang Jiashi would be, but at least Zang Di was clear, that is, he could not only reunite with his only granddaughter, but also have a way to complete the end of his life with a good death.
After thinking about it for a night, Zang Di decided to surrender to Zhang Jiashi.
......
Zang Di's surrender allowed Zhang Jiashi to complete more than half of the operational goals set for the Northern Route Army.
However, because Zang Di was only a newly annexed Handan County of Han Guang, Zang Di's control over most of the cities in Handan County was relatively weak.
Many of the garrison generals of Handan County did not obey Zang Di's orders, and in such a situation, Zang Di joined forces with Huan Su and the troops of Hengshan County and turned to attack Handan County.
After two months of cleanup, Handan County was once again recovered by Great Qin.
The combat objectives of the Northern Route Corps can be regarded as being overachieved.
......
The offensive of Wang Yuan and Wang Chang's uncle and nephew on the middle route was also quite smooth, and the Qin army troops in Shangdang County in the south blocked their small princes and broke them with a powerful offensive.
However, due to the mountainous terrain of Shangdang County, the offensive of Wang Yuan and Wang Chang's troops was blocked after entering the central area of Shangdang County.
Moreover, the central and southern areas of Shangdang County have in fact become areas where bandits are rampant, and the two of them have to carry out a purging policy against such an area.
Because many of these bandits even dared to attack the grain transport troops from Taiyuan County to the south, in order to keep their grain routes smooth, Wang Yuan concentrated his troops on cleaning up a large number of thieves' dens in the central and southern areas of Shangdang County, while Wang Chang went south to Huguan to prepare to launch an offensive against the small princes' troops in Hanoi County and Hexi County.
................................................ Dividing line ......................................................
"Kill, !!"
Outside the city of Rongyang on November 6, 205 BC. Zhang Jiashi personally led 50,000 elite troops to fight with Wei Bao's main force of the Wei army outside Rongyang City.
This is a great battle for the ownership of control of Mikawa-gun.
Zhang Jiashi now has to think about one thing, that is, the Wei army under Wei Bao is indeed a lot stronger.
But on the other hand, Zhang Jiashi did not think that the Wei army's tactical ability had improved much.
And one thing that Zhang Jiashi cared about was that there seemed to be a unit similar to the heavy infantry under his command in the Wei army's Chinese formation.
However, in terms of equipment, this heavy infantry unit uses more old weapons, and the quality of its soldiers is also very different from that of the Qin army.
"What kind of class is that?"
Zhang Jiashi looked at the advancing Wei troops in his command area. Haruka pointed to the group of infantry phalanxes that he cared more about.
Sun Po naturally also saw the situation of the Wei army's phalanx, and after thinking about it for a while. said: "Back to the king, it should be Wei Wushu." But this Wei Wushu, not to mention combat effectiveness, I am afraid that even in terms of equipment, it cannot be compared with Wei Wushu after Pang Juan's death. Judging from the situation of the other party, the other party is more like a relatively robust rabble. β
Sun Po's words made Zhang Jiashi fall into thought. Because what he didn't expect was that Wei Jun would have such an ability to form Wei Wushu again.
Zhang Jiashi had to admire Wei Bao for having such courage.
......
Contrary to Zhang Jiashi's situation, Wei Bao's mood was not so relaxed.
In fact, one thing he didn't think of was Zhang Jiashi, who had been "silent" for a long time. will directly send more than 100,000 elite troops to the east.
In the face of such a thing, Wei Guo, as the first to bear the brunt, and Wei Bao, as the monarch of Wei, can be said to be unable to calm down.
Wei Bao originally wanted to give up Sanchuan County, but Xiangguo, who was also Wei Qin after the Wei clan, opposed Wei Bao's idea, because in Wei Qin's thoughts, Sanchuan County was certainly attacked by the Qin army. But the Wei army that retreated to the Dangjun area only died later. In such a situation, if Wei Bao gave up Sanchuan County, then Wei Bao would lose the room to directly deal with the Qin army and sit between the dead places.
I have to say that Wei Qin's idea is indeed quite reasonable. Wei Bao could only follow Wei Qin's advice and concentrate the Wei troops he could lead during such a period of time to confront the 50,000 troops under Zhang Jiashi's command in the area of Rongyang City.
Zhang Jiashi was very curious about one thing, that is, how did Wei Bao know that he was in the area of Rongyang City.
But after seeing his own side of the Xuanniao, Zhang Jiashi knew it.
After all, no matter how bad the Wei army scouts are, they won't find a blind man to be them.
......
In this battle, the strength ratio between the two sides was 70,000 and 50,000 respectively.
Although Zhang Jiashi's book data is relatively at a disadvantage, especially Zhang Jiashi's view of Rongyang City, which is still solid. Indicates considerable silence.
However, for a combat method like this kind of area, Zhang Jiashi already had a set of corresponding combat responses, that is, to first uproot the Wei army camp on the periphery of Rongyang City, break its branches and leaves, and then concentrate on attacking Rongyang City.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi would not say that if he really wanted to attack Rongyang City, this city would have turned into a sea of fire long ago.
After all, the siege equipment under Zhang Jiashi's command has completed the initial update and replacement. A large number of packed catapults were used in the Crusade troops.
Of course, he didn't expect Wei Bao to attack them first.
"It seems that the last time the Wei army was defeated in Julu, there was no way to make the other party learn a lesson. But that's fine, it's time to test the defense capabilities of the Forces nouvelles. β
Zhang Jiashi looked at the advancing Wei army formation and muttered such a sentence.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
The Wei army's offensive mobilized 50,000 people, Zhang Jiashi thought about it for a while, and after discussing it with Sun Po, he decided to use 30,000 people to deal with the Wei army's offensive.
According to the combat effectiveness of the troops under Zhang Jiashi. Thirty thousand people may be a little more. But Zhang Jiashi would not be soft on the Wei army now, and if he didn't have to leave a certain amount of troops as a reserve force, Zhang Jiashi wouldn't even mind putting all the military strength under his command to use.
In fact, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that in a decisive battle with the main force of the Wei army in this place, from a tactical point of view, he was indeed at a disadvantage. But from a strategic point of view. Attacking Nguyen Ong Thieu in the Chung Mou region in the north, and Han Shin So's unit attacking Nakyi in the south. Once the offensive on the two places can be completed today, then this group of Wei troops is very likely to be strategically surrounded by the main force under Zhang Jiashi.
Therefore, even if Zhang Jiashi is unable to break this Wei army in one fell swoop now, it doesn't matter, because he only needs to delay the main force of the Wei army near Rongyang City.
But since the Wei army died, or Wei Bao was too confident in the ability of the troops under his command, then don't blame him Zhang Jiashi for letting most of the Wei army stay in this land.
......
"Shoot !!"
Li Shang, the commander of the 10,000-strong army array on the left flank, shouted out these words, and the crossbowmen and crossbow chariot troops of the Qin army under Li Shang's command fired a dense array of arrows of 3,000 waves at the Wei army.
And the current crossbowmen of the Qin army can shoot at least six arrows in a minute. So under the Wei army formation a few hundred meters away, the advancing Wei officers and soldiers were put down more than 2,000 people before they reached the effective range of their crossbowmen.
These downed Wei officers and soldiers were not necessarily shot, but at the very least, seven or eight hundred people did lose the ability to continue fighting.
But the Wei officers and men did not retreat because of such a blow, but quickly rushed into the effective range of the crossbowmen on their side.
At this time, the crossbowmen of both sides began to fire at each other. However, the equipment of the officers and soldiers of Wei was not at all a qualitative comparison of the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi's command.
A lot of the time. The Wei army had to pay a greater price for casualties in order to make the Qin officers and soldiers also pay a certain amount of casualties.
......
Wei Qin, who was observing the battle situation on the right flank, hated it so much, because many of these troops were formed by him with a lot of effort. Paying quite heavy casualties in such a situation made his heart bleed.
Wei Bao, who was watching the situation from the sidelines, was more helpless.
He didn't want to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Qin army under Zhang Jiashi under such a situation, but his distant cousin, Wei Qin, who claimed to be the great-grandson of Xinling Jun. Too confident.
His cousin Wei Qin's ability is indeed not bad, and he is also very convinced of his ability to lead troops in battle, if it weren't for the existence of this person, I'm afraid that he Wei Bao would also become the next Shen Yang or die faster than Shen Yang.
And Wei Qin, who had his own self-confidence, did not take to heart his advice to him to be careful of the Qin army's combat ability.
He really wanted to say something to Wei Qin: "If you don't listen to Gu's words, you will end up." β
But because he knew that he needed to rely on Wei Qin in many places, Wei Bao was very interested and did not say what he thought.
......
After knowing that the right-wing forces would soon be unable to hold out. Wei Qin had to make a quick adjustment, that is, he let the chariot troops on the left flank directly attack the opponent's right flank.
Of course, what Wei Qin didn't expect was that Zhang Jiashi had already equipped the light infantry units under his command behind the heavy infantry. The spears used by these light infantry against chariot units are a very effective counter-chariot weapon.
Of course, the throwing spear itself has a range of only a few tens of meters, which is also a considerable flaw. Zhang Jiashi himself knows this very well. However, in the face of the impact of the Wei army's chariots, these spear-throwing light infantry would have better combat results.
......
The lethal effect of the crossbowmen on the high-speed charging chariots was not too great, and the more than 300 chariots on the left flank of the Wei army, after losing a few dozen, quickly rushed through the effective coverage carried out by the Qin crossbowmen.
"Rush, !!" The remaining more than 200 chariots soon continued to rush towards the Qin army's array.
But there is one thing they will never know, that is, compared to these light bows and crossbows, the Qin army's spears of the same size as the bed crossbow are more effective against the chariot troops.
The heavy infantry units of the Qin army in front quickly separated to both sides, while the three rows of light infantry behind had already assembled their own formations and raised their throwing spears diagonally.
"Throwing !!"
Hundreds of spears were quickly thrown into the Wei chariot troops, which seemed to be about to storm the Qin army's phalanx.
The drivers of the Wei army's chariot units in the front row had no way to react, and some people's armor could not effectively protect their own bodies from being pierced by spears.
But more than that, the horses in front of the riders were stabbed with spears and fell to the ground with a wail.
The Wei chariot troops, who had lost their driver's control, or whose chariot had overturned because a war horse had flipped over, were rarely able to crash into the Wei military formation on their own.
But in the end, more than 50 Wei chariots rushed into the Qin army's battle array.
The Qin army's array was rushed out of more than a dozen not-so-large gaps. However, because these chariots could not exert their maximum impact advantage at all, once the impact speed was slowed down by the Qin officers and soldiers, they would be greeted by a variety of weapons......
With the driver of the last chariot and the two charioteers being dismembered by the weapons of the Qin officers and soldiers, the chariot force on the left flank of the Wei army was declared a failure......
