Chapter 16: The Scarlet Deer 2

readx;?? Zhang Jiashi waited for the main force of the princes' coalition army, which had lost an effective supply of grain and grass and should attack within a few days, to have a relatively advantageous battle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In such a battle, the equipment under Zhang Jiashi's command was very dominant. It is not just the superiority of the cavalry and horses in the border counties of the Great Wall, but the tactical establishment that Zhang Jiashi has gradually formed in several wars in the past few years, and there is a kind of combat effectiveness that makes the Liaodong Army once again put aside the idea of taking the inland county soldiers as the main body, or still using the combat methods used more than ten years ago to fight.

In addition to the Qin army on the border of Liaoxi County, which was newly surrendered to He Huai, the chariot troops and the knight corps under Zhang Jiashi's command can be regarded as a kind of rebirth compared to the previous situation.

It's just that Zhang Jiashi wants to give full play to the advantages of the troops under his command, and such an opportunity alone is far from enough.

......

In general, Zhang Han, Wang Li, and Zhang Jiashi, who have gradually become the trend of the horns, are still loyal to the Great Qin Empire, but in fact, among the troops that look like Shenli, Zhang Han's army is now experiencing yesterday's defeat, although it is not too much in terms of personnel losses, but for the Zhang Han army, which has greatly reduced the efficiency of effectively commanding the troops, in the case of a considerable number of generals, captains, and lieutenants who died in battle yesterday, it will take a lot of time to effectively solve the disadvantages in this area.

After receiving the results of the battle sent by Dong Peng's henchmen, Zhang Jiashi knew very well in his heart that in his original historical records, Zhang Han was defeated in nine battles, and I am afraid that it was because of the heavy losses of the army command that it became one of the main reasons.

Zhang Jiashi didn't know why this was the case, but after Zhang Han was defeated in the ninth battle and had to evacuate to the south of Julu to recuperate, Wang Li's department, which had been pinned down by the princes' coalition army, became the target of the Chu army and the princes' coalition army, whose morale was in full swing.

Needless to say, the result was killed in battle, and Su Jiao and Wang Li committed suicide in defeat.

The last remnants of the elite of the Northern Frontier Army of the Great Qin Empire that went south officially became a historical term.

In the end, Zhang Han announced his surrender for unknown reasons, which eventually led to the last army loyal to the empire of the Great Qin Empire, and most of the officers and soldiers were directly killed by Xiang Yu.

Perhaps the composition of such a unit is no longer entirely military, but it is estimated that among the more than 200,000 people who were killed in the pit, the number of regular combat troops will not be less than 100,000.

This figure is naturally not comparable to the beginning of the Battle of Julu for Zhang Han's department, but this figure also shows that the officers and soldiers under the command of Zhang Han's army have not lost quite a lot of troops in several battles with the Chu army and some of the princes' coalition forces.

This also proves one point in a certain sense, that is, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Hanjun's army cannot be brought into play as usual. It is possible to have such a situation, the loss of too many middle and senior officers, and the inefficiency of the command of the troops, such a situation.

Zhang Jiashi was very worried that what happened in history and in Zhang Han's army would still occur. But for him, whether Zhang Hanjun can avoid falling into such a situation as "repeating the mistakes of the past", he and the Liaodong Army under his command can't help.

After all, it has been more than three years since he came to this world, and Zhang Jiashi, who is the king, is no longer the "little white" who has just crossed through this Great Qin Empire and this world.

He couldn't let his troops go, and in order to save Zhang Han and avoid some situations, both sides and even Wang Li encountered a more hostile environment.

You must know that the closest enemy to Zhang Jiashi's troops is 200,000, and there may be more enemies.

Once Zhang Jiashi really did this, Tian Heng and the others would naturally not give up this situation of tailgating and chasing.

If this situation really happens, Zhang Jiashi doesn't know how to deal with such a situation.

Maybe Wang Li's troops will help Zhang Han next to him, but if Zhang Jiashi is not mistaken, those small princes' troops who are like cockroaches and have very tenacious vitality are likely to unite again and contain Wang Li's southbound troops of the Northern Frontier Army, so that they cannot support Zhang Han.

Under the development of such a strange battle situation, although the three troops have indeed formed a wrestling situation, but in the case of not wanting to suffer the enemy on their backs, what they can do is more than to contain the enemy opposite them and "catch and kill".

In such a situation, Zhang Jiashi knew that in addition to waiting for Zhang Han's next move, he was waiting for the movement of the main forces of the three major princes' forces closest to him.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After Zhang Hanjun avoided the battle for several days, he had a small camp attack and defense battle with Xiang Yu.

In this battle, Xiang Yu used two or three thousand casualties to realize that although Zhang Han avoided the battle, or even lost the first battle, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Han's army did not seem to have changed much.

However, Zhang Jiashi was informed by the henchmen sent by Dong Fei that although the current command system of Zhang Hanjun's army was not a complete mess, it was just that the actual combat effectiveness could not be recovered from the losses in the previous few days.

Zhang Han appointed a large number of newly appointed corresponding officers, many of whom were unable to form their own command efficiency in such a short period of time, although they were not at all regarded as generals who did not know the soldiers and the soldiers, but the actual situation was no better than such a situation.

The result of this battle may make Xiang Yu a little worried, but Zhang Jiashi knows very well that Xiang Yu can be regarded as a tentative attack this time, and after a period of time, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng and others will see Zhang Hanjun's weakness at this time.

In the past few days, Wang Lijun's 100,000 combat effectiveness seems to be getting worse and worse in several battles, although Wang Lijun can be called a complete victory in several battles, but Zhang Jiashi can see very clearly, as the three Qin army troops, Wang Lijun, who is the most short of materials, uses a large number of precious military supplies to get such a result, is it a good thing or a bad thing......

Zhang Jiashi couldn't say how to calculate such a question.

But Zhang Jiashi knows very well that the longer the time drags on, the more they will not be able to persevere, and it is likely that they are on their side.

Zhang Jiashi sent several knight troops with no less than 3,000 people to escort the transport team to transport various materials, and the coalition of princes who basically lacked horses wanted to rely on the infantry to launch a surprise attack in the basically plain area, not that Zhang Jiashi looked down on these princes and rebelled, but knowing that the other party was defeated in several battles, he did not continue to do so, Zhang Jiashi was relieved in a sense.

But that doesn't mean he can rest easy. At the very least, if the enemy sent out more and more people, reaching a number that more than 3,000 knights could not effectively deal with, his supply line would probably be finished.

If such a situation really arises, Zhang Jiashi knows very well that he must give up his original calculation, and even need to delay the plan to attack Guanzhong.

Therefore, before this situation appeared, he knew very well that in a certain sense, the success or failure of this battle of the giant deer was more about who could not hold on in the first place.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

The three major princes led by Tian Heng and the small princes who depended on the three of them learned one after another in these days that they had been cut off from the supply of grain and grass in a certain sense.

Tian Heng, Wei Ji and Zang Di naturally didn't need to say anything. Not to mention Tian Heng, who received such a battle report the fastest, but at the moment, if Tian Heng does not communicate with the two, I am afraid that once Wei Bao and Zang Di know the facts, the consequences will be even more serious.

Therefore, after receiving the fact that the fleet transporting grain and straw was almost wiped out in the Battle of Jishui, Tian Heng had to think hard for a long time, and had to send someone to invite Wei Bao, the king of Wei, and Zang Di, who established himself as the Duke of Qinghe, to discuss on the grounds of discussing military aircraft.

After the two learned the facts that Tian Heng said, they were all shocked. After all, they themselves, at such a time, relied more on the grain and straw of the Qi State to ensure that there was no big mess.

Although Qinghe County is also a fairly developed county in the hometown of Zhao State, however, when there is little land and many people, Zang Di, who raised troops in Qinghe, can not actually loot too much grain.

After Wei Qi was beheaded by Zhang Han, Wei Bao, who quickly established himself as king, was in even worse condition.

Don't say that Wei Bao brought over 50,000 troops this time, in fact, even if Wei Bao deceived himself, how could Tian Heng and Zang Di not know a thing?

That is, if the troops under the command of the two of them are still considered a rabble, then the 50,000 people under Wei Bao's command can be called a group of peasants who rush to fight in a swarm just by virtue of the large number of people, and basically do not have too much organization.

If Zang Di himself knows that his shortage of grain and grass is still "extenuating", then Wei Bao is still controlling the Wei State......

From another point of view, there may be more people who understand that the more than 50,000 people brought out by Wei Bao are more because the area under his control cannot support them at all.

It can be said that Tian Heng is quite speechless for such a situation, but for many considerations, he supported Wei Bao with a large amount of grain before this, and hoped to let Wei Bao play his own role at the right time.

It's like cannon fodder or something.

Although the Tian Heng brothers, as the clan of the Qi State, this point can no longer be changed, but after a long period of business or smuggling, including the current Tian Dan, Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Tian Heng The three brothers do not have a business habit in this regard?

So after seeing the two of them who were shocked, Tian Heng didn't know what to say in his heart.

In fact, Tian Heng didn't mind befriending Zang Di, and if it weren't for the fact that the children of the three brothers were relatively old, Tian Heng would even plan to propose a marriage to Zang Di.

He has seen Zang Di's granddaughter Zang'er, and he is quite fond of it, because although Zang'er is only twelve or thirteen years old, she already has the demeanor of a beautiful embryo.

Using such a thing as marriage to deepen the relationship with Zang Tu, Tian Heng believes that it is undoubtedly a matter of killing one stone.

(Whether Zang'er is Zang's youngest daughter or granddaughter is strictly speaking, there is no way to be exquisite.) In this book take a granddaughter to say. )

Zang Di didn't know that in such a situation, Tian Heng was still in such a mood to think about such a thing. After he came back to his senses, he couldn't help frowning deeply: "General Tian, I don't know what to do with such a thing?"

Tian Heng heard Zang Di's question, and he was also worried.

After all, in Tian Heng's heart, he was unwilling to fight against Zhang Jiashi. You must know that in these years, Zhang Jiashi arrived in Liaodong County, and gradually developed the maritime commerce of Liaodong County on the coast of the counties of the hometown of Qi. seized the corresponding business opportunity, but also made a lot of money.

Tian Heng is not the vast majority of other people who have only heard of the strength of Liaodong County. After such a thing as the Liaodong County fleet conducting human trade, Tian Heng was the group who intuitively saw the scene of Liaodong County not hesitating to send thousands of elites to protect the camp.

At that time, Tian Heng, who was not completely ignorant of military affairs, could feel a trace of fierce courage and courage from these thousands of officers and soldiers who were not very good in weapons and equipment.

It can be said that this arrangement, which Zhang Jiashi actually did not know, shocked many people in a sense. Among them are the current Qi State, and Tian Heng, who has become the general of the Qi State.

So after hearing Zang Di's question, Tian Heng's expression couldn't help but look a little bitter.

He knew very well that in such a situation, he had no way out, because the warship troops under Zhang Jiashi's command burned not only a port, a fleet, and a considerable amount of grain, but also directly burned the retreat route of the Qi army to the south of Jishui.

He looked at Zang Di and Wei Bao, and after pondering for a while, he said an idea: "King Wei, Duke Qinghe, you should seize the time to train the troops in such a few days. Before we consume the grain and grass, we will fight to the death with that Qin dog Zhang Jiashi!"

Hearing this, Zang Di nodded helplessly, but Wei Bao didn't plan to even fight out all the family funds under his hands.

He couldn't help but look at Tian Heng eagerly: "General Tian, don't we have a better way?"

Tian Heng, who heard this, couldn't help but be furious, but Tian Heng, who was not exactly a reckless man, did not attack directly, but said very calmly: "King Wei, if there is another way, I hope to inform you." ”

After Wei Bao heard this, he knew that he had hit a soft nail, so he could only smile and cover up the past.

And in Tian Heng's camp, Yu Xing, who was relied on by Tian Heng as a confidant, that is, the actual Yuzi period, did not intervene as the deputy general of the Qi army, but watched this scene very calmly.

However, as opposed to the expression of Yu Zi Period, Yu Zi Period's mood is quite excited. He has been waiting for an opportunity, and even plans to send someone to contact Zhang Jiashi if he may reveal his identity.

However, with a calm personality, and in the case of the great change that almost destroyed the family, Yu Ziqi's heart not only did not become impetuous, but became more and more tenacious, and he endured such an approach.

In the past few days, he has been expecting Zhang Jiashi to wave his army to attack the fortress, break these rebellions in the case of internal and external cooperation, and then wave his army to attack the Chu army, so as to avenge his father and the clansmen who died tragically in the hands of the four families of Xiang, Qu, Jing, and Zhao. It's a pity that Yu Ziqi never thought that Zhang Jiashi would be able to endure such an adversity.

However, Yu Ziqi was soon relieved. After all, Yu Ziqi himself knew that Zhang Jiashi was not an immortal, so he naturally didn't know that he and the thousands of officers and soldiers under his command were hidden in the barriers, and he even became an important general of the Qi army.

Therefore, Yu Ziqi himself was a little crying and laughing, should he have sent someone to Liaodong a long time ago to inform Zhang Jiashi that he was not dead?

And Tian Heng's plan made Yu Ziqi, who had a calm expression, secretly think in his heart: "It seems that we have to discuss it carefully." ”

......

When he returned to his camp, he found his henchmen and some officials of the Great Qin Empire who had been following him and collected them from other places in Wu County or Huiji County.

After carefully arranging the vigilance, Yu Ziqi said a few things.

Many people know that Zhang Jiashi is the best object to take refuge in the Yuzi period, and those of them who follow the Yuzi period are naturally very aware of such a situation.

Therefore, many people hope to be able to defect to Zhang Jiashi at the most appropriate time.

After joining the camp of the Qi State, they also heard about the past deeds of Liaodong County from time to time, thinking that their defection to Liaodong County was far more promising than rebelling against the Qi State or returning to Xianyang.

And a person who had met Zhang Jiashi several times clasped his fists and said to Yu Ziqi: "Family master, we might as well add some chips to General Zuo's victory in the battle." ”

Hearing this confidant's words, Yu Ziqi nodded: "Yu Da, of course. General Zuo is certainly prestigious, but as people loyal to Daqin, we should also do our part. ”

Yu Zi's trust in Yu Da can be said to be overwhelming. After all, after Wu County fell under the siege of the four private armies of Xiang, Qu, Jing and Zhao, if it weren't for Yu Da desperately opening the way with other soldiers in the front, I am afraid that Yu Ziqi would have been separated by the swords of the rebellious soldiers with some officials.

This incident was actually caused by Yu Ziqi's whimsy at that time. Because at that time, Yu Ziqi insisted on rescuing his father and lost the best opportunity to break through.

At that time, Yu Da could completely abandon him and directly lead the Qin army troops stationed in the Jiangdong Military Headquarters in Wu County to break through directly.

But Yu Da did not do this, but led his army to follow closely behind Yu Ziqi.

It's a pity that when Yu Ziqi saw the burning county guard's mansion, they had already fallen into the siege of the four private armies.

The team of Yu family soldiers who met with Zhang Jiashi at that time, except for Yu Da, basically died in the breakout battle, and even Yu Da was severely injured by the dragon, and it was very difficult to barely protect Yu Ziqi and some officials, and fight their way out of the encirclement.

You must know that Yu Da's strength is not under the dragon. If it weren't for the distraction to protect Yu Zi Period, Long He wanted to seriously injure Yu Da, and the difficulty would not be half a star.

Therefore, under regret and gratitude, Yu Ziqi became more and more respectful of Yu Da, and even planned to hand over the army to him to take care of.

But Yu Da did not accept this request, but shook his head and smiled politely declined.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

The alliance of the princes led by Zhang Jiashi and Tian Heng, who staged "no war in the east of Julu", broke out the first fierce battle on August 22, 208 BC.

Of course, the protagonist of the alliance of princes...... It was not Tian Heng, but Wei Bao, who had to lead the army out of the station.
