Chapter 813: You Run Away from Me, I'll Run After You
Sein's face instantly became gloomy, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his eyes were full of anger, like an angry lion that could break out at any time.
As soon as he led his army to the front line, the attack of the Zhao army fell, and it was almost a slap in the face.
The kind that snaps.
All the generals in the camp held their breath, lowered their heads, and did not dare to breathe, Sain's temper was not good, and he couldn't touch his moldy head at this time.
Puff puff!
The sound of the breaking wind was heard, and the rain of arrows continued, and from time to time arrows landed in the tent, shattered by the internal air waves that burst out from Sein.
The soldiers of the Peacock Army rushed out of the camp in a panic, they thought that the Zhao army was coming, and they were ready to meet the battle with weapons.
When I arrived outside the camp, I found that except for the mountains and woods around, I couldn't even see the ghost of Zhao Jun.
The rain of arrows fell from the sky, and he didn't know where the Zhao army was attacking from.
After a few breaths, the rain of arrows stopped.
The Peacock Army camp was full of wailing, many soldiers were shot by arrows, covering their wounds and crying wolves, and the military doctors hurriedly treated them.
"Does the Zhao Army have an ultra-long-range attack legion?" Sean looked at Marin, and with a slight effort of his hands, the armrests of the seat were directly pinched into sawdust, which was the result of his efforts to restrain his anger.
The casualties caused by this wave of arrow rain will not be too many, but the blow to the morale of the army is too great, and he was injured by an arrow without even seeing the enemy, so it is strange that the morale can be high.
And there is a first time and a second time for this kind of thing, if the Zhao army carries out a rain of arrows attack every day after that, then the Peacock Army will not fight in this battle, and directly announce the surrender.
"Not before." Marin said hurriedly.
"It seems that Zhao Guo has also sent reinforcements." Sein said in a deep voice, but this is also normal, the Peacock Army has reached the doorstep, but if Zhao Guo still has the strength to spare, he will also send troops to reinforce it.
There is such a thing as residual power, for the empire, as long as you are willing to squeeze, there is always it.
There is no such thing as not having a little room to spare.
"Is there any information about the war of the Zhao State to unify the Central Plains?" Sein asked again, although he was extremely angry in his heart, and he wanted to lead the army to slaughter the Zhao army immediately, but he still had basic sanity.
At his level, no matter how angry he is, he will not send troops on impulse, but will think more comprehensively to ensure his victory.
Only victory can make the enemy pay.
Anger won't!
"Nope. In recent months, there have been no Central Plains merchants on this trade route. Those who were caught before didn't know much about the ongoing war in the Central Plains, and many people didn't even know that Zhao was at war with other countries." Marin said.
The Mauryan Dynasty knew very little about the Zhao State, and although the two sides established trade contacts very early, they were basically Zhao merchants who went to the Mauryan Dynasty, and few Peacock merchants took the initiative to go to the Zhao State.
The distance between the two sides by sea is too long, and multiple resupply needs to be carried out on the way.
Although Zhao set up multiple supply points along the way, these supply points would only supply the Zhao caravans, and would not provide any supplies to the merchants of the Mauryan Empire, which greatly increased the difficulty for them to reach Zhao.
In addition, the Strait of Malacca was in the hands of the Zhao State, and the navy had always had garrisons there, and the caravans of the Mauryan Empire passed through the Strait of Malacca, and they had to pay a large amount of tolls to the Zhao State.
This leads to the high cost of the merchants of the Mauryan Dynasty to purchase goods from the Zhao State, and there are various risks that may be encountered on the way.
In addition, the Peacock Dynasty has always had a friendly attitude towards Zhao State before, so it didn't break its heart, unlike Zhao State, which sent people to collect intelligence information from the Peacock Dynasty very early.
I don't dare to say that I know everything about it, but I understand the basic situation.
It wasn't until the Mauryan Dynasty learned from the merchants that there was a shortcut to the Central Plains in the Northeast that their attitude changed and they began to collect information about Zhao and the Central Plains.
However, the time is too short, and not much is gained.
Marin's legion, actually
It was sent by the Mauryan Empire to explore the way.
The Peacock Dynasty didn't think that it would face Zhao so quickly, but since it had happened, it was impossible for the Peacock Dynasty to coax it, let alone admit its mistake.
The rich land of the Central Plains, he must get, no matter who the enemy is.
"In other words...... We don't know anything about Zhao Guo, do we?" Sein's gaze slowly swept over the general's face, and the general lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Is it that the empire is so powerful that you think that the enemy can be defeated at your fingertips? Forgot even the most basic knowledge of oneself and one's opponent? The State of Zhao is an empire as powerful as my Peacock Empire, not a dregs like Qiongdu and Burma. And...... We've already lost once. If you have this mentality again, this battle will not be fought, and everyone will go back to farming." Sain said in a deep voice.
Time has passed for such a long time, not to mention anything else, at least the most basic information must be provided, whether the Zhao State lost or won, which countries were destroyed, which countries remained, and whether the war was still going on......
It's hard to get the details, but it's very easy to get information from the public.
To put it mildly, these generals can know this information if they fly to the city of Zhao Guo and walk around the streets.
As a result, these people don't know anything.
He thought that losing a game would give the Peacock Army Commander some memory, but he didn't expect that these guys were still as arrogant as before, and they didn't take Zhao Jun in their eyes at all.
With such an army, it is strange that Zhao Jun can be defeated.
Marin and the others' faces suddenly became extremely ugly, and what Sein said was so ugly that he didn't give them face at all.
But soon, Marin realizes that Sain is right.
They were indeed blinded by the successive victories, thinking that Zhao Guo was nothing more than that, and the reason why they lost before was just because they were not ready, and if they were allowed to do it all over again, they would definitely win.
"I'm sorry, General." Marin straightened his mind and said apologetically.
The rest of the generals also admitted their mistakes.
Sain's face looked a little better, if Marin and the others not only did not admit their mistakes, but felt that they were humiliating them, then he could only report to Ashoka and send Marin and the others back to China.
However, since they sincerely admit their mistakes, let's give them another chance to stay on the front line and make meritorious contributions.
"Zhao Jun's ultra-long-range strike legion is at least a super-elite level legion, and it may even be a military soul legion. It is impossible for Zhao to send a legion of archers alone, so at least one legion of other super elite troops will follow. In other words, our army has to face at least two super elite emperor regiments, as well as other elites of the Zhao State. It's an uphill battle, and I hope you don't take chances. Otherwise, the rain of arrows just now will be your fate."
Sein's voice rang in everyone's ears.
is worthy of being a famous general of the empire, just by virtue of a wave of arrows, the strength of Zhao Jun is not badly analyzed.
"Army Soul Rank Archer Legion? How is this possible?" Kamara exclaimed, didn't the archer legion hide behind and release arrows, how could it become a military soul legion.
"Nothing is impossible for the Empire. can cross one or two hundred miles to attack our army, even if it is not a military soul legion, it must be treated as a military soul legion. After the two armies are fighting, they must settle each other as soon as possible. If our intelligence is correct, and Zhao is indeed engaged in a war of unification, then there will not be too many reinforcements, and this is our chance. If you can't solve this legion this time, it will be very difficult to wait until Zhao Guo frees up his hand." Sain said.
The lethality of the archers is too great, and if they can't be solved in the first place, the Peacock Army will not be enough for the other party to kill.
"Command, General." Marin said with his fists clenched.
"Command, General." All the generals clenched their fists and said.
"Pass my military order, the army will be drawn and retreat a hundred miles." Seon slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the crowd's heads.
"Huh?" The generals were momentarily stunned, almost thinking that Theon had said something wrong.
The army trekked through mountains and rivers to the front line, only to retreat without a battle?
If it's someone else's down
They wouldn't be so surprised by this order, Sain was notoriously short-tempered, and he dared to yell in front of Ashoka.
Zhao Jun just slapped him in the face.
As a result, you turned your face and coerced? Not only do you not fight back, but you also have to retreat?
Is this still the same Sain they knew?
"Ahh Haven't you seen the terrain around you? There are mountains and forests everywhere, and it is difficult to find a flat land to settle on, and our army plus the auxiliary army is nearly 200,000, can this kind of terrain army be placed? Also, it is thousands of miles away from the country, and there are mountain roads along the way, and one or two hundred thousand soldiers eat horses and chew, how much grain and grass do they consume every day? How much wear and tear is there on the road? Have you thought about it?" Sein glared at Marin.
Forget if others don't understand, after all, they are at most a rushing general, as long as they use force, don't use their brains, Marin is the commander of the first army, and he didn't think about these things.
It's the comfortable environment in the country, have you raised these people, and you have forgotten how to lead troops to fight.
He has a bad temper and is prone to anger, but he knows how to win battles and how to improve his chances of winning, which is why he has become the top five famous generals of the Mauryan Dynasty.
And the people below are not as good as him!
In the terrain of the Hengduan Mountains, before the official road was built, the Zhao army could not defend it, and the Peacock Army could be consumed to death.
After the retreat, the Peacock Army's grain road continued to shorten, while the Zhao Army's grain road continued to lengthen, and the Peacock Army's chances of victory also increased.
This is what the Lord should do, not because the enemy is attacking you, and if you are angry, you will fight angrily, and finally you will be defeated, and you will be even more angry.
It's even more ridiculous.
The purpose of the main general is victory, and only when he wins can he dissolve the anger in his heart.
Hearing this, the generals lowered their heads again.
The next day, the Peacock army pulled out camp and began to retreat south.
After receiving the news, Tiandan ordered the Zhao army to occupy the large camp before the Peacock Army.
On the third day, the Peacock Army continued to retreat south, and the Zhao Army continued to pursue.
This was the case for the next few days.
Until the tenth day, the Peacock Army did not withdraw, camped in place, and began to arrange various defensive engineering facilities!
"The Peacock Dynasty is not planning to withdraw its troops, but is waiting for my Zhao army!" After Tian Dan received the news, his face changed.
He had thought that the Mauryan Empire was planning to withdraw its troops and was preparing to take advantage of the situation to capture the area east of the Rakhine Mountains.
Seeing the Peacock Army stop, he realized that the other party wanted to lengthen the grain route of the Zhao army and drag down the logistics of the Zhao army.
There is no complete road in the Hengduan Mountains, and the loss of grain transportation is ten times that of the Central Plains, which is still the result of transporting grain from Chengdu, and if it is from Handan, the loss is even greater.
Similarly, the same was true for the Mauryan Dynasty, due to the larger number of large armies, the pressure on the Mauryan army was greater than that of the Zhao army, so the grain route could only be shortened by withdrawing the army.
But how could Tian Dan let the Peacock Army succeed, if you can retreat, I can also retreat, now it is your Peacock Dynasty that takes the initiative to attack my Zhao Kingdom, and it should be you who should be unable to hold your breath.
My Zhao country has time to consume with you.
It's best for you to spend time with me Zhao Guo to sort out the internal affairs.
"General, something is wrong, Zhao Jun...... The Zhao army retreated." The scout rushed into the Peacock Army camp in a panic.
"Zhao Jun actually withdrew, this is difficult to do." Sein's face was a little ugly, the Peacock Army had just withdrawn to a place where the land was flat and the vision was broad, and it was able to pull hundreds of thousands of troops to fight.
Over there, the Zhao army withdrew.
All the preparations of the Peacock Army are in vain!
His previous move seemed to hit Cotton.
"Do you know who Coach Zhao Jun is?" Sain said in a deep voice.
"According to those businessmen, Zhao Jun's handsome banner is hung with the name 'Tian', and the famous generals of Zhao Guotian's clan are only Tian Dan. He is the great nobleman of Zhao State, and he is also the top few famous generals of Zhao State, once the Central Plains Qi State was almost destroyed, and only two cities remained, and it was Tian Dan who led people to recover Qi State." Marin said.
These days, he has been searching for information about Zhao Jun, and finally found it
Some useful.
"Help the Qi country recover? He was a native of Qi before? How did you get to Zhao State? The State of Qi was also destroyed by the State of Zhao?" Sain asked.
By mistake, he actually guessed the truth that the Qi State had been destroyed by the Zhao State.
"It is said that Zhao Guo exchanged the city with the Qi State." Marin said.
"Take the heroes who have the grace to recreate the country to exchange the city, there is still such a monarch in the world." Sain almost laughed, this kind of garbage country, it is a miracle that it can exist, and it is estimated that it will perish in many years.
"According to those merchants, Tian Dan's strength is very strong, but they don't know the specific ability, and it's not something that people of their level can touch." Marin said.
"It seems that the general method is difficult to deal with the other party." Sean muttered that the Mauryan Army was the attacker, and if there was no result for a long time, Ashoka would inevitably withdraw him and replace him with another commander.
And Zhao Jun is the defender, as long as he can hold it.
In other words, Zhao Jun can afford it, but he can't afford it.
He had to get the results as soon as possible and give an account to Ashoka.
The next day, news came, as if Zhao Jun deliberately mocked him, he only withdrew for a day and then stopped.
"Du Pingjun, what if the Peacock Army doesn't chase after you?" Yan Zhou asked curiously.
"If they do not pursue our army, they will camp here, and build passes and walls, and lay official roads. When did the official road from Guanzhong to Chengdu and from Chengdu to the foot was built. When to send troops. The general doesn't believe it, his Peacock Army can consume my Zhao Army." Tian Dan said disdainfully.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Peacock Army really chooses to consume the Zhao Army, Zhao Guo will not have any losses.
