Chapter Twenty-Nine: Seeking War
Feeling the sharp edge of Cai Guo's military vehicles from afar, Wang Yue decided to speed up the progress and strive to calm the chaos of Shen Guo in the shortest possible time.
Now that the military vehicles are no longer a problem, there are only 200 military vehicles of the Zhu clan, part of the coercion army and the 200 horse army of the Wu clan of Cai Guo.
Wu's horse army is a foreign guest army, there is no local foundation, once the Zhu army is broken again, he will have no place in the Shen country, there is no other way but to retreat, if not retreat, either starve to death due to lack of logistics supplies, or be besieged and killed by the army of Shen Guoshi and doctors from all over the country.
With the Wu clan's ability, of course, the latter situation will not be allowed to happen, and it must be a return to the elephant country.
Nagisa's coercive army, if the situation of Nagisa's march is smooth, it doesn't matter, once the battle is lost, in the case that the main force is difficult to protect itself, most of them will directly collapse and surrender, and may even counterattack.
Therefore, after some consideration, Wang Yue's target was directly locked on the Zhu clan military vehicle in the north of Nagisata.
On the second day of Zhuyi's surrender, the Huaishang army only had a short rest and was ready to set off to the north, and Wang Yue of Zhuyi only arranged for four thousand people to preside over the order of Zhuyi, guard the back road, and most importantly, wait for Shennan to come to meet the reception of the hunting doctors.
Before departure, Wang Yue routinely released the ink viper to inspect the direction of the march route, but unexpectedly, the ink viper flew out for less than a quarter of an hour, and there was something in return, less than fifty miles to the north, at this time there was a team of military vehicles coming south.
Almost as soon as he found this troop of soldiers, Wang Yue's will threw it at the ink viper, and opened his eagle eye to hide the dragon's body in the clouds and look down.
After a little observation, Wang Yue knew that below was the Zhu clan's military chariot, the number was close to 300 times, plus the military and civilian husbands, there were more than 40,000 people, and at this moment, the Zhu clan returned to the south, not surprisingly, trying to return to Zhu Yi, and wanted to rely on Zhu Yi to hold on, waiting for the situation to change.
Obviously, Nagisa fell too quickly because of the rebellion of the small sect of the Zhu family, so that Dr. Nagisa didn't know about it, so he still had such an idea in his heart, and this is also the best idea in the current situation, but the premise is that Nagiu has not fallen.
Wang Yue sneered, and said to the Huaibo priest who was riding in the same carriage with him: "Order the armies, prepare for battle, and end the war in Shennan in the first battle." ”
As soon as the order was issued by the Huaibo priests, the Huaishang army that had just left Zhuyi was a sustenance.
Wang Yue then asked Mo Viper to return along the lane to observe, he was going to choose a place of terrain, and have a good fight with the Zhu Clan, before the duel with Cai Guo, to complete the most important quenching after the formation of an army for the two 10,000 people.
Because the army he led was all infantry, and the Nagisa military chariot was the same as most of the armies of the era, all of which were mainly chariots, supplemented by infantry soldiers, and fought around chariots, so in the choice of terrain, it was first necessary to consider the restriction of chariots.
Since it is necessary to restrict the chariot troops, of course, you cannot choose a place that is too flat.
Flat terrain can be roamed by chariots, and fighting chariots on such terrain is simply asking for death.
Why are car battles popular in this era?
Of course, this is because the combat effectiveness of the vehicle is the strongest among all classes.
It can even be said that as long as it is on the right terrain, no class can stop the front of the chariot.
At this time, many people will inevitably wonder how powerful a chariot with two or four horses can be pulled by charging and crushing and killing and injuring the enemy with long-armed samurai or archers on the chariot?
Due to the limited production cost, or the ignorance of the director and screenwriter, the chariots on TV are either as simple as the board cars dragged by migrant workers, or they are luxurious and have no combat effectiveness.
What is a real car battle like?
First of all, the chariot is much stronger than the board cart dragged by the migrant workers, and in this era, it can be called a relatively sophisticated equipment, and the manufacturing price is relatively expensive, so that many poor doctors cannot afford to arm too many chariots at all.
Compared to the lethality of the chariot, the collision and crushing, including the samurai attack, is only a small part, and even the work of the samurai and the archer is not only to kill people, but the more important task is to clean up the people who threaten the charioteer, in order to make the chariot better to kill.
The key to killing chariots is that in wartime, before charging, the outside of the left and right wheels of the axle will be equipped with cutting tools that extend several feet forward.
Once the chariot charges, the blade will rotate and cut at high speed with the rotation of the wheels, so that once a chariot rushes into the crowd, the blades on the left and right can make everyone feel that their bodies are made of flesh and blood.
Wherever the vehicle passed, there was no one on the left and right kill lines, and the rows of chariots charged, that is, when the modern agricultural organization harvested on a large scale, it was similar to the scene of the harvester cutting wheat, but the harvester was cutting the wheat, and the chariot was cutting rows of people.
In addition to the unparalleled battle formation, its national strength can be armed with the largest number of and the most sophisticated charioteers is also a key element.
Excluding the overly flat places that were conducive to the exertion of the chariot soldiers, Wang Yue was sure that the terrain was relatively convenient for the deployment of his army's formation, so as to maximize the combat effectiveness of the military formation.
With such certainty, Wang Yue's gaze fell between the two armies, slightly in the direction of Zhuyi, in a wilderness to the north of the town.
Although the terrain of this wilderness is relatively flat, it is actually undulating, with many small ditches and small hills, which is completely unfavorable for the galloping of chariots and soldiers, and because it is slightly close to the direction of Zhuyi, with the marching speed of the Huaishang army, it is completely possible to arrive first, and then you can rest for a while, and wait for the enemy army to arrive.
But there is a problem here, the Zhu clan has a foreign scout first, and they will definitely find out the existence of the Huaishang army, even if Wang Yue intercepts them, the Zhu clan sees that the scouts do not return, and also knows that there is a situation ahead, in this situation, will this battle still be fought?
Will the Nagisa army avoid the war? Of course not.
Zhu Shizhu was occupied, and he had taken the initiative to abandon the cities in the north, and the entire Shen country was surrounded by enemies, and the army was in the wilderness without a city to hold on to the limited materials, and the result could only be annihilation, and Wang Yue had only 16,000 people in the war, and the army was far inferior to him.
Dr. Zhuyi will only be overjoyed when he sees it, thinking that Wang Yue is stupid and does not defend the city, so he runs to the field to fight with him, otherwise Wang Yue only cares about holding Zhuyi, and he can be consumed to death by time, doesn't this give him a chance to fight with him?
As long as Wang Yue's army is defeated, he can easily get Zhuyi and achieve his strategic concept of sticking to Zhuyi and delaying time to wait for changes.
It's a matter of survival, and Dr. Nagis's choice is knowable without thinking about it.
What's more, Wang Yue is also preparing to play a few tricks here to induce him to take the initiative to attack.
A few hours later, when the sun in the sky was slightly tilted to the west, 16,000 Huaishang troops arrived at Wang Yue's designated battlefield location and simply camped to rest.
Considering that if they were too full, the blood would run into the intestines to help digestion affect their combat effectiveness, Wang Yue ordered all the warriors and soldiers to eat only a small amount of water, and then sat on the ground on the wilderness that had been slightly cleared, looking rather loose but faintly maintaining the array, waiting for the arrival of the Nagisa military chariot.
