Chapter 16: Retreat
Cai Guojun, Wu's national division in the military camp tent, Yingzi and others are discussing countermeasures.
Suddenly, the faces of the generals of the Wu clan changed suddenly, and they all looked around as if they were facing a great enemy.
This was as the Huaishang army's ballista was aiming, and they instinctively felt a little uneasy, and when a strange sound came, Wu Di jumped up in surprise and shouted: "It's the rubble fired by the Huaishang people's crossbow that is coming towards us." ”
Wu Dingguo reacted and said, "Let's take action together to protect the baby." ”
Wu Zhengde was injured, and at this time there were only three generals of the Wu family, Wu Dingguo spoke, and the three of them rushed to the baby's side, each using their strength.
With a "bang", the tent of the Chinese army camp was instantly collapsed under the fire of seven or eight hundred ballistas, and the remaining momentum covered the tent.
Wu Di took the lead and threw a few cases next to him to the top, and the other two were also learned.
How can a few wooden cases be used as gravel flying at high speed, and only a few cases are shattered into sawdust in an instant.
"Ha", Wu Di exhaled and opened his body, and when several cases were shattered, he released his energy, rushed upward, and met it head-on, Wu Lingjun overlapped, Wu Dingguo attached the tail, and the three people's vitality was superimposed layer by layer, and suddenly, the incomparably fierce explosion above, and then, the sky of gravel and qi collided into countless stone powder, and the head and face of the people below were drenched, and several people turned into stone people.
Whew, Wu Dingguo waved a strong wind, swept away the stone powder on everyone's bodies, and said loudly: "It was blasted from a hill one mile away from my camp, with the range of the Huaishang army's crossbows, more than two miles in the camp are within its attack coverage, this place is no longer defendable, when you evacuate quickly, you can only hold on to the stronger battalion of the city or Li'an." ”
He also said: "This evacuation, the army and your horse army will be on the flank, threatening its rear road, so that it does not dare to chase closely." ”
As a long-time military veteran, Wu Dingguo's arrangement, Wu Lingjun naturally understands that retreating in such a situation, if it is pursued by the Huaishang army, it will become a big rout if it is not allowed to retreat, which is not good, and there is a horse army guerrilla on its side, if the Huaishang army dares to pursue, it can copy its back road, and the retreating army can also turn from retreat to counterattack, and under the superiority of troops and the two phases, the twelve ballistae and 40,000 troops of the Huaishang army are not enough.
"No. Wu Lingjun arched his hand.
Wu Dingguo didn't say much, picked up the baby and went to the rear, and gave orders to the left and right camps of the Chinese army while walking, Wu Lingjun went to gather 20,000 horse troops, and Wu enemy went to arrange for Wu Zhengde, who was recuperating from his wounds, and with Wu Zhengde's situation at this time, he could not accept the ballista bombardment of the Huaishang army.
"Whoosh!" A few people left the camp tent of the Chinese army not far away, and there was another whistling, but it did not bombard them, but Wu Dingguo's face was not half happy, but extremely depressed.
The targets of the ballista bombardment of the Huaishang army were obviously selective, first hitting the big tent of the Chinese army, and then around the big tent of the army.
What is the military tent around the Great Tent of the Chinese Army?
An army is in the camp, and if the general wants to control the army flexibly, its core command system will not be too far from the Chinese military tent.
That is to say, the surrounding tents are the branches, nerve centers, and spine of this army.
From this point, we can see Wang Yue's ruthlessness, a head of the army was hit first, and he was no longer so flexible in commanding the army, what would happen if he came like this again? This is the rhythm of paralyzing the national teacher of the Wu family.
Once the command of the Wu clan is paralyzed, and the warriors and warriors are constantly bombarded by ballistas, then they will have a lot of fun.
Wu Dingguo saw the situation and immediately ordered people to evacuate.
The ballista shotgun was too powerful, and the three of them could barely cope with it just now, but the other generals in the army didn't have this ability.
Wu Dingguo's reaction was extremely fast, but Wang Yue's attack came very suddenly, even if he reacted in time, there were still many generals who could not escape the bombardment of the ballista, and there were heavy casualties.
Forget it, what is even more terrifying is that the ballistae of the Huai Army will continue to extend outward, and then attack its command branch at a lower level.
It was only less than tea time, and the entire Cai Guoshi was completely in chaos, and all the generals and warriors at all levels fell into a panic... No one knows where the Huai Shang army will attack next, whether they will kill themselves and a group of people around them, and it seems that there is no safety anywhere in this camp.
Fortunately, the three Wu families remained sober, knowing that the range of the Huaishang army's ballista was only three miles in the sky, and the farther away the ballista was, the weaker the power of the ballista, so after sending the baby to a safe distance and arranging Wu Zhengde, they personally went into battle to command, so that the chaos was restored slightly.
Next, the situation in Cai Guoshi's camp became a confrontation between Wang Yue creating chaos and the Wu Guoshi's command system.
For Wang Yue, he only needed to bombard the commander of the camp or the area where a large number of warriors and soldiers gathered from a distance of miles and miles.
In this chaotic state, the Wu national division had to evacuate everyone to a farther safe area first, and also had to organize the evacuation of the entire army, a more fatal problem was that the forces related to the command in the military art were stared at by Wang Yue and suppressed at any time, so that they could not have the advantage of directly consuming troops for spiritual guidance and command like in the face of other armies, and the communication returned to the era of basically relying on roaring, and it was also a loss that they were super-level warriors, and the generals at all levels of the command system were also samurai, and they were all loud voices, otherwise this army would really be finished.
Rao is so, in this process, almost every dozen breaths, there are hundreds of warriors, warriors for the ballista scatter to kill, and so on to the Wu people to arrange things properly, Wu Dingguo roughly perceived, in the Huaishang Army this round of offensive, the national division of the samurai, the death and wound of the warriors and soldiers was as high as seven or eight thousand, the proportion of samurai is quite high, reaching more than two hundred, such a loss, since the formation of the new army of the national division, it is simply unprecedented, so that he wants to cry without tears.
Here in the Cai State military camp outside the city, the Wu clan and the Shang clan each have half of the army, and such a major event happened in the camp of the Wu clan under the command of the national division, Wu Fengqi and Shang Wen and others of course knew, there was nothing to say, seeing this situation, they didn't want to repeat it in their own camp.
When the national division camp was a little calmer, they were almost ready to evacuate.
If Wang Yue wants to find a high point to bombard them, it seems that there is no chance.
Soon after, the Cai Guoda battalion was not broken, and the two main forces took the initiative to evacuate.
Because of the threat of Wu's horse army to the flank and rear road, and after a big battle, it was getting late, and the Huaishang army attacked lightly and simply, without carrying too much grain and grass, Wang Yue did not pursue, and only drove into a 10,000-person team into the national division camp to bombard the area for his ballistas.
This is, of course, cleaning up the battlefield.
The Shang army was relatively well prepared for the evacuation, and everything that could be taken away was taken away.
The national division under the command of the Wu clan was threatened by ballista bombardment, and when they were facing heavy losses at any time, many things in the large camp could not be taken away.
After doing this, Wang Yue first counted the entire battle.
In this battle, the Huai Shang army and the Cai side did not engage in battle, and only relied on ballistas to kill people, and their own side did not suffer much loss, but the results were extremely rich.
He directly extracted his memory and preliminarily calculated that the two armies of Shang and Cai Guo's division on Cai's side had nearly 30,000 casualties, which can be called a heavy one, and presumably the morale will be so low that it will be irreparably low after this battle.
The spoils of war? Of course it's very rich.
First of all, the elite army of Shang's military vehicles, because it is an elite, Shang's capital on them is extremely thick, and nearly half of its casualties are lost, and the Huaishang army has obtained a lot of equipment to clean up the battlefield, although many of them are damaged and damaged by gravel, but there are craftsmen to repair and repair, and they are still available.
That's a lot of money.
In the future, the Wu national division left in a hurry, but there were a lot of various war benefits left for the Huaishang army.
Carefully calculated, in order to organize and train this 100,000 new army, the monarchs and doctors of the five kingdoms of Huaishang have lifted the old bottom, and none of the arsenals accumulated in the past have been retained, and even many of the weapons of the old army have been requisitioned and handed over to craftsmen for restructuring, which is not a small cost, but after several battles, in addition to the land and related war profits are all disposed of by Wang Yue, Wang Yue disposes of a part of the rest of the trophies, and the warriors and soldiers also get a part, and their investment in the new army has been recovered by a small half.
The fastest money in the world, but it turns out to be this business.
After some tidying up, Wang Yue began to return to the army with rich booty, arrived at the border of Jidi, and immediately got the rest of the 60,000 Huaishang elite coalition army cheers, and then the call for war was getting higher and higher, no way, seeing that the warriors and warriors who followed Wang Yue into Shen were all rich one by one with one victory after another, but the army was almost unharmed, and the warriors and warriors of each army were very red-eyed.
And after counting the spoils, the Huaishang nobles located in the rear of Huaiyin were also smiling, and everyone put aside their fear of Cai Guo, and they had already begun to plan that this battle would continue to be fought like this.
As a result, after this battle, Wang Yue's prestige among the Huaishang nobles and even the entire Huaishang army also reached a new peak. (To be continued.) )
