Chapter 92: Extinguishing Qi 11
readx;
On June 5, 202 BC, Zhang Jiashi launched a general attack on Tian Rong. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The comparison of military strength between the two sides is the main force of nearly 200,000 troops of the Central Army of the Great Qin Empire who have been replenished with personnel, equipment, and long-term training and rest, against the Western Qi army, which has a weak will to fight with less than 100,000 people.
After a more detailed intelligence investigation, Zhang Jiashi probably knew about the military deployment of the Western Qi army during this period of time.
Among them, about 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Chinese army under Tian Rong were personally commanded by Tian Rong, while the remaining 55,000 men and horses were divided into the front army, the left and right wing troops.
With this kind of formation arrangement, Zhang Jiashi does not think that Tian Rong is a person who is not familiar with military affairs. After all, this kind of decent battle formation arrangement happens to be a formation that can effectively give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Western Qi Army.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi will not say one thing, that is, even if the current Western Qi Army has someone who can have the ability to match Han Xin's ability as a commander, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to return to the sky.
After all, the Qi army's own will to fight has weakened a lot.
......
In the past few months, Zhang Jiashi has mobilized more than 400,000 troops to launch an offensive against Qichu and Chu.
This was also the largest large-scale offensive in the history of Zhang Jiashi.
If it weren't for the fact that the front was spread out too widely, maybe Zhang Jiashi would have made this operation more efficient.
After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, the front is spread too widely, which makes Zhang Jiashi's logistical pressure even greater.
The battle plan originally formulated by Zhang Jiashi was originally an operational plan to concentrate superior forces as much as possible while also reducing logistical pressure.
However, because of Li Hunt's appearance out of thin air, Zhang Jiashi's battle plan had to be greatly revised. This is also something that Zhang Jiashi did not expect.
In this regard, it also shows that there is a lot of truth in the fact that in many cases, it is true that the plan is often not comparable to the change in the situation.
However, the war has developed to this point, even if Zhang Jiashi wants to let the war situation develop according to the plan, it is impossible to do so, and second, the situation does not allow Zhang Jiashi to stick to the rules.
The most important point is that Zhang Jiashi himself is not that kind of person, and he is also very opposed to this kind of immutable tactics.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Since he had already planned to launch a general attack on Tian Rong's camp area, Zhang Jiashi naturally would not show mercy to Tian Rong's men. Besides, he didn't have that kind of intention in the first place.
It's not that he didn't intend to recover Tian Rong, but after taking into account the situation in many aspects, Zhang Jiashi knew one thing very well, that is, whether it was Tian Rong, Tian Heng and Xiang Yu, if the three of them became dead, it would be the thing that would bring the greatest benefit to the Great Qin Empire.
After all, this kind of royal level existence, firstly, it is not so easy to surrender, and secondly, if the other party still has a second heart, then the loss will be much less than when the other party is still rebellious.
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi's order to the officers and soldiers under his command is:
"In addition to the enemy officers and soldiers who surrendered, other people who still dare to resist Great Qin, kill!"
"!!"
Hearing Zhang Jiashi's murderous words, the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi's command couldn't help but be awe-struck, because Zhang Jiashi's order also represented the fate of these enemy troops.
They couldn't even help but pray for the officers and soldiers of Western Qi, because if they really had the courage to continue resisting, then for them, these Qi officers and soldiers would often not be able to escape a dead word.
However, since Zhang Jiashi had such a clear order, then for them, the commanders naturally knew very well what they should do.
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
During these months, Tian Rong also began to forcibly recruit soldiers in nearby areas to make up for the losses after suffering heavy losses in the last battle with the Qin army.
However, because of the interspersed destruction of a large number of cavalry of the Qin army, Tian Rong's method of supplementing losses and the acquisition of grain and materials were hindered to a considerable extent, and even suffered quite serious losses.
The Qin knights did not slaughter these Qi civilians who did not seem to have combat effectiveness, but after killing and dispersing the Qi officers and soldiers who escorted these civilians, they let these civilians choose to go home or move to Sanchuan County or Dang County to continue their lives.
Many people choose to go home, but there are also many people who are willing to move to Sanchuan County or Dang County with their families after weighing their own situation.
And the Qi people who are willing to continue to work hard for Tian Rong do not say that they don't, but nine times out of ten they will not have this kind of thought.
Of course, after following Sun Po's advice, Zhang Jiashi did not launch an attack on the rest of Western Qi. Because Sun Po and Hou Xu both believed that the anti-Qin power of Qi Di was actually no less than that of Chu Di, if the other party was allowed to lurk, it might turn into a trouble sooner or later.
In this case, it is better to let these anti-Qin forces concentrate under Tian Rong and Tian Heng, and it will be higher to solve the enemy at one time.
How many of these people were coerced or deceived, Zhang Jiashi didn't know, and he had little interest in dwelling on this matter. For him, it is more practical for these people who dare to rebel against the rule of the Great Qin Empire to die all.
Zhang Jiashi, who has been in this world for so long, and has been the highest apex of a ruler for a long time, has long given up the idea of seeking common ground and seeking differences due to the influence he was subjected to in the original world.
This is also an idea that Zhang Jiashi will inevitably change gradually, after all, every ruler is similar, as long as it is a person who endangers the foundation of his rule, he cannot live so comfortably.
There are many ideas of these people, and there are also many actions of these people, but no matter what, no one will really look at these people pleasing to the eye, especially when these people can touch the foundation of rule, the fate of these people is actually doomed.
Zhang Jiashi will not leave these troubles to his children or his descendants.
But what Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that it was because of his reform of the land policy that the Great Qin Empire would face another wave of rebellions that could be regarded as relatively large-scale decades later.
And even if Zhang Jiashi knew this, he would not regret it, because he knew that this kind of reform could effectively avoid the serious problems that would arise in the Great Qin Empire because of the land issue.
There is a saying that long pain is better than short pain, and Zhang Jiashi himself knows very well that some things must be done even with the attitude of a strong man breaking his wrist. It is also a choice for a ruler.
......
Gao Lian, a teenager who is no more than sixteen years old.
As a Qi person, he also has the self-esteem of a Qi person, which is why he is willing to join Tian Rongjun.
And the endless Qin army knights did not encounter the Qi army troops transporting these recruits, so Gao Lian's fate was also doomed at this time.
A month after entering Tian Rong's former army camp, Gao Lian followed the chief who took good care of him, patrolling among the outer camps built west of Jishui.
But at this time, he felt that there seemed to be a violent vibration on the ground, and he looked at himself in confusion as he looked at Shi Chang in the east, and the other party's expression quickly changed from solemn to pale, and then what he heard was:
"Crouch down and hold your shield above your head!!"
They were not equipped with those large shields, but small wooden shields, and this commander's order made some of the Qi soldiers under his command not understand why they did this.
They quickly paid the consequences for not following the orders of their veterans......
What fell from the sky was a wave of crossbows that were quite densely numbered.
These crossbows were too far to effectively shoot through the small wooden shields equipped by the Qi army, but only shot more of these wooden shields into a part, and then the arrows were stuck in these wooden shields.
However, without shield protection, once shot, these arrows can still easily penetrate the cowhide armor on the bodies of these Qi officers and soldiers.
Of course, this kind of penetrating power is still a bit difficult to harvest the lives of these Qi officers and soldiers without hitting the vital point.
This situation is more relative to the Qi officers and soldiers who obey the orders of the chief or other Qi officers who reacted.
And for the officers and soldiers who did not obey the order or did not react, and were behind this fence, these crossbows could still bring great casualties.
The bodies of many Qi officers and soldiers were shot into several crossbows, or they were directly shot through the heads by the crossbows, and they fell to the ground without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
At this time, Gao Lian saw a peasant brother who was about 24 years old and entered the barracks with him, and he didn't know what the situation was, so he was directly pierced through his neck by a crossbow.
What he saw was that the big peasant brother was struggling after he fell to the ground, hoping to pull out the crossbow stuck in his neck, but until the other man's round eyes gradually faded into the brilliance, the big brother was finally unable to do so......
For the first time, he saw the man who died in front of him, and he was terrified that he would suffer such an outcome. But when he then raised his head, he saw a troop of men covered in turf branches, wearing black cloaks and holding two long swords, fighting the officers and soldiers guarding the entrance and exit of the fence.
......
“......”
Holding a stainless steel long sword in his hand, he was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and he easily used the long sword in his hand to cut the neck of a Qi Juntun commander.
After watching the middle-aged uncle who was splattered with blood splattering from the other party's neck, looking at him with seemingly unbelievable eyes, covering his neck wound and falling down, the young man couldn't help but think of what his master said to him:
"Your talent and understanding are better than those of a teacher, and you are also quite diligent. But you lack another basis for being strong, and that is to know what you're fighting for. You go to the army to go through the experience, and your temperament shows that you are not suitable for an assassin, but more suitable for being a strong person in the army. ”
This is also him, a young man who originally had no name, but wandered to the Guanzhong area with a large group of refugees, and was named Gai Hao by his master.
He once asked his master, that is, can his master be regarded as a master of the Great Qin Empire?
When his master heard his words, he couldn't help laughing:
"It's not that the teacher is too arrogant, in the category of human beings, people who can fight against the teacher...... There shouldn't be more than five. ”
After hearing Master's words, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, because he never seemed to have heard of his Master's name.
But from the confidence in his master's eyes, Gai Hao didn't think that his master was deceiving him. And he continued to ask with some curiosity:
"Master, who are those people?"
After his master was silent for a while, he only said two names: "The regent Zhang Jiashi and the eunuch chief Xi, if these two people really fight to the death with the teacher, the teacher may not be able to win." Especially the strength of the regent, which is probably much stronger than Zhao Gao. ”
"Is the regent so powerful?" Although Gai Hao didn't know much about Zhang Jiashi, as the regent of the Great Qin Empire, Zhang Jiashi's name was still very clear to Gai Hao.
"The strength of the regent does not lie in the opponent's martial arts or the spells mastered by the opponent, but in the opponent's understanding, or the opponent has a treasure that even teachers have to be deeply afraid of. The longer the time drags on, the smaller the gap in strength between the regent and the master will become, and the teacher is not the kind of person who can directly solve the regent in a short period of time. ”
And before leaving his master this time and entering the army of the Great Qin Empire, his master said a passage: "Your current skill, unless you meet someone with the strength of a senior professional or above, it is not difficult to retreat with your whole body." But there's one person you need to pay special attention to, and that's the item. This person is not a person who can easily fight against the teacher, and there should be no one who can draw with the other party. ”
"If Master joins forces with the Regent, will he be able to defeat that Xiangji?"
"Hehe, this is really an interesting idea, if the teacher joins forces with the regent, Xiang Ji should definitely die, but the teacher is estimated to be killed by the other party for half his life or even by the other party desperately. ”
Gai Hao's master said this, and gently patted Gai Hao's shoulder: "It seems that the teacher has never said his name, since you are going to go out to practice, then the teacher still talks about his thin name, and the name of the teacher is Gai Nie." ”
After Gai Hao heard Gai Nie's words, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, because he didn't expect that his master would be the number one swordsman in the world.
......
"Master, my disciple will never live up to Master's name, and he will also not live up to Master's high expectations for me. Because, as you say, I will create my own experience. ”
Gently shaking the long sword in his hand, Gai Hao took a deep breath and continued to walk forward......
