Chapter 306 The purer it is, the more contrasting it is
Yue Fei's retreat made Gong Qi dumbfounded.
He didn't expect the generals of the Dayu Army to be so stable, no matter how you look at the situation just now, you should be in a hurry, right? As a result, Da Yujun actually left like this.
"General, shall we chase?"
The equally confused lieutenant couldn't help but ask.
At this time, the Qin army's car formation was ready.
This is a chariot formation composed of Great Qin Ruishi, and its strength is extremely strong, but there is a lot of preparation work to be done before the war, and they were suddenly attacked, which limited their play.
"Can you catch up?"
Gong Qi glanced at his subordinates and asked.
"If there were only Rishi, it would be possible to catch up."
The lieutenant from the royal family replied truthfully.
The mobility of the Great Qin chariot formation is still very strong, and it is not slower than a simple cavalry when the military formation is launched, but the flexibility is a little problematic, and it is not good at fighting in places with dense water networks.
"What about the other soldiers?"
Gong Qi did not answer his subordinates' questions directly, but asked rhetorically as if he loved soldiers like a son.
The adjutant general suddenly stopped talking, and the other soldiers around him looked moved.
The adjutant general clearly meant to save the warriors and abandon the other soldiers. Because of the mobility of the chariot soldiers, it is impossible for other soldiers to keep up, and in this case, failing to keep up means being abandoned.
"The Yu army was able to attack us at such a precise time, either by using soldiers like gods, or by some unknown reconnaissance methods, or by the Chu army, Han Xian's plan to leak information in advance, and force us to fight a decisive battle with the Yu army, so as to gain a chance to breathe. Previously, South Korea actually occupied Chu Fang City and other Chu State Western Front defense fortresses before our army marched, and I estimate that Korea and Yu State may have made a deal with Chu State. ”
Qi Gong sneered.
As one of the three major generals of the Qin State at this time, Duke Qi's military exploits were only under Meng Fu and Wang Yu, and his ability and strategic vision were very good.
Lu Gong's analysis was unanimously agreed by the generals under his command.
Because it was not only their side that encountered an attack, but the Qin army on the west bank of the Han River also encountered an attack by the superior forces of the Dayu army and had been destroyed.
Presiding over the offensive on the west bank of the Han River was the 50,000 trapped camp directly led by Gao Shun.
Gao Shun ordered the army to launch a strong attack directly after three waves of arrows.
Although the more than 10,000 Qin troops on the west bank of the Han River were also able to form a military formation, they were disrupted by the baggage and difficult to form an effective array formation, second, they were consumed by the rain of arrows, and third, the number of people fell into an absolute disadvantage, and finally they were surrounded by the absolute superiority of the trapped camp that also formed a military formation, and after a fierce battle, the remaining more than 3,000 Qin troops chose to surrender.
A large number of Yu troops appeared on both sides of the Han River at the same time, and it was obvious that the Dayu army had already prepared enough troops and transportation tools, and was ready to divide and encircle, and each one was ready to break through, and the Qin army had already gotten into people's pockets, and Jingling was the bait to attract the Qin army.
"How dare they!"
The lieutenant was furious.
Only Daqin has ever deceived other countries, when did other countries dare to deceive Daqin, damn it!
Chu, Korea, and Yu already have a way to die!
"There is the blockade of the Dayu Water Army, and now it is unrealistic to go east to attack Jingling, and it may be difficult to cross the Han River to the west, and it is also a dead end to the south of the river, and the only way to survive is to go north, to Deng (Xiangyang)!"
Gong Qi said what he thought.
Before, the reason why Duke Qi said so much was purely to clean up the army's heart and unify the army's will, so that the whole army could fight with him to Deng, as long as he reached Deng, this army would have a way to live.
There is no need to even go to Deng, as long as they reach the opposite side of Yancheng, the Dayu army will not dare to chase after them, otherwise, although Yancheng only has a small number of sailors, as long as the shipwreck cuts off the river, the Dayu army will be trapped to death. And if the Dayu army and the navy do not chase along the river, then the Qin army can escape at any time.
"It's all up to the general!"
The lieutenant is very good this time.
"The whole army, immediately pack up the supplies and set off to the north, all the war horses that died in the battle are also skinned and cut and brought with them, all the food is gathered and distributed in a unified manner, all the big shields are also brought, all the bows and crossbows that can be used are brought, and the arrows are collected as much as possible, and everyone acts immediately."
The order of the Gong Gong is divided into sections.
The Duke of Qi apparently realized that the real enemy of the Great Army was probably hunger.
Since the Dayu army did not attack, it must have wanted to use hunger to force this army down.
Back then, when Wu Anjun rose from nothing, didn't he divide and surround the Zhao army, and finally forced 400,000 Zhao troops to surrender with hunger?
Gong Qi was also a witness to the Battle of Changping that year!
The actions of the Qin army were quickly detected by the Dayu army.
The old spicy of the Duke of Qi made Yue Fei and others admire, but they would not show mercy.
Next, the Qin army began a desperate march.
In the territory of Jingling, the river network is dense, although many rivers and rivers of the Dayu army and the big boats of the army cannot sail in, but the Dayu army took the first step to seize a large number of small boats and destroyed the bridge. This made it extremely difficult for the Qin army to pass through, and it was natural that the heavy armor could not swim across, and the chariot soldiers were even more difficult to pass.
The Qin army had to build a bridge temporarily.
However, whenever the Qin army wanted to build a bridge, the cavalry of the Dayu army would appear on the other side of the river, and immediately retreated after shooting and harassing.
The Qin army barely crossed a few rivers, but lost more than a thousand men and was exhausted.
The Duke could only let the army camp and rest, but he could not sleep peacefully at night.
The Dayu Army will harass and sneak attack in various ways.
In two days, the Qin army would have been on the verge of collapse.
On the night of the third day, Duke Qi suddenly made a surprising decision, taking advantage of the night to kill a horse and shoot him to Jingling.
His tactics are excellent, but he is still under Yue Fei's surveillance.
Yue Fei's subordinates calmly made arrangements, and Duke Qi also made the final pre-war mobilization.
He asked the lieutenant general to lead the soldiers to attack Jingling at all costs, while he personally led other soldiers and wounded to block the pursuers.
Duke Qi claimed that as long as Jingling was defeated, he could force the Yu army to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army under Jingling City, and the Qin army would have a glimmer of life.
Because he found that if this Yu army fought head-on, it would definitely not be the opponent of the Qin army, and the Qin army's sharp soldiers could definitely be ten with one.
The generals were quite moved, and the adjutant general immediately led the troops to the battle.
However, after the soldiers left, Duke Qi directly ordered the remaining soldiers to take off their heavy armor, carry only a knife and a shield on their backs, and force their way across the Han River by night.
The defense of the Dayu army is naturally impossible to cover everything, not to mention that this is in the dark of night, and the shark of Dayu is not there.
In the end, Gong Qi was able to escape alive and was found by Yang Duan and his subordinates.
Although the Duke of Qi fled, the remaining Rui soldiers of the Qin army were surrounded on the bank of the nameless river.
The Qin army tried to fight but could not, the deputy general from the royal family challenged in front of the battle, was shot to death by random arrows, and finally after the surrendered Qin army informed the besieged Qin army that they were regarded as an outcast by the Duke of Qi, about 5,000 Qin Ruishi were forced to surrender to Yue Fei's department.
In this battle, Yue Fei's subordinates beheaded 25,000 people, and captured more than 12,000 people in total.
Gao Shun's troops and Yue Fei's troops destroyed more than 30,000 enemies and captured more than 15,000 people, including Qin Ruishi, who was 6,000 younger.
The Battle of Jingling ended with a complete victory for Dayu.
Yue Fei's department lost more than 10,000 men and horses, most of them were space cavalry, and the main reason for the heavy losses was that the bows and crossbows of the Qin State were indeed powerful, and the space soldiers without the protection of the military array could often be pierced by one and two, even if it was Yue Fei's hard-trained back army, it was also a one-arrow piercing.
You know, the back army has heavy armor.
The role of the most basic military formation, embodied in ordinary soldiers, is a bit like a layer of shield, which can offset the additional damage of the enemy military formation to a certain extent.
Although it is said that when the level of the military formations on both sides is about the same, the presence or absence of military formations does not have much effect, but if there is a military formation and there is no military formation, then the difference between the military formation is very large.
Even Yue Fei didn't dare to easily confront Great Qin's military formation.
Gao Shun also led the most complete troops in the Dayu Army to fight a group of lost dogs with almost ten times the advantage, which was not a frontal battle.
All in all, this victory is a strategic victory.
Before the Qin army began to act, it had already been calculated by the Dayu army, how could it be undefeated?
At the tactical level, Qi Gong's performance was actually remarkable, and there were no obvious mistakes.
His biggest mistake of forcibly crossing the Han River was also brought about by the Qin army's intelligence mistakes being deceived by the Chu State, and it had little to do with the Duke of Qi.
To put it bluntly, the Qin State was calculated by the three kingdoms of Yu, Chu, and Korea.
This battle was also the first time that the Dayu Army had obtained a first-class chariot unit in a structured system.
Although the chariot soldiers have become a burden in the Jingling Tomb, which is densely covered with water networks, it is really a god who blocks and kills gods on the plains.
Qin's chariot soldiers can definitely be regarded as a big killer, not a simple open-top two-wheeled vehicle, but a war machine composed of mysterious runes that have been passed down since ancient times and special materials.
When it is launched, the people, vehicles and horses are combined into one, which can form a layer of shields that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, protect the people, vehicles and horses, and the front of the horses will also form a shield collision angle, whether it is a warrior with a bow or a halberd on the car, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and it is completely an ancient version of the tank.
Of course, if the charioteers want to form a military formation, they must at least take a hundred times, and the preparations in the early stage are also relatively cumbersome.
Yue Fei planned to send these captives to Haojing in batches to do his part in cultivating Dayu's chariot soldiers.
Of course, it's not just the chariot soldiers, the chariot soldiers can be one, so the integration of men and horses should be simpler, which means that they are also of great help to Dong Huang's army in training cavalry with one man and horse.
Compared with the chariot soldiers, who were still slightly lacking in handling, Yue Fei still felt that the cavalry was more cost-effective.
The cavalry can leap over Tanxi, but the chariot soldiers at this stage do not have this ability.
The defeat of Duke Qi made Wang Ji angry, and it was the biggest defeat of the Qin State since the defeat of Mengfu.
Meng Fu's defeat is acceptable, after all, the opponent is Xinlingjun; But who is the opponent of the Duke of Qi? It's just a nameless junior who has never heard of it.
What made him even more angry was the deception of the Chu State, which was more unacceptable than defeat.
But Wang Ji is obviously not qualified to dispose of the Duke of Qi, and everything has to wait for the arrangement of the court and the princes. However, considering that Lü Buwei is actively courting the military, the disposal of Duke Qi is likely to be the same as the treatment of Meng Fu, at most it will be a downgrade and will not have much impact. So Wang Di is happy to be a good person.
Wang Di just reviewed the battle with Duke Qi, and asked Duke Qi to command 50,000 horses and Yang Duanhe again, and go to attack Xiling, which can be regarded as giving Duke Qi a chance to make meritorious contributions.
Wang Yu had already seen Dayu's plans in Yingdu, Dayu just wanted to use the continuous fortifications to limit the play of the Qin army and consume the Qin army step by step, and at the same time, because Jingling was controlled by the Dayu army, Dayu could threaten the grain route between Yan and the Qin army along the Han River.
To a certain extent, this can be regarded as luring the enemy into depth and encircling the point to send reinforcements.
However, judging from the previous battles, Dayu's land combat ability was very average, only stronger than Qin's auxiliary army, and the victory relied on intrigue rather than frontal combat, so there was no need to worry too much.
It's a big deal to build beacon towers along the river, and then build a road to transport grain and grass, so as to ensure the safety of the back road. Perhaps, you can also send a group of soldiers and horses to build a city on the west bank of the Yancheng section of the Han River, the passage between the Han River and the Funiu Mountain, and look at Yancheng, which directly cuts off the possibility of the Yu army going north.
In short, the problem of Qin in terms of grand strategy is not big, but it is a little time-consuming.
In fact, with the defeat of Duke Qi, Wang Di no longer wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Dayu army, which had an absolute naval advantage, and in the final analysis, the terrain here was not suitable for the Qin army to fight.
The Qin State was able to win the Chu State at that time, and the fact that the King of Chu did not cultivate his armor was one thing, and Wu Anjun's white rise was too fierce, which was the most important aspect.
But Wang Ji came out with so many troops, and he has already had a defeat, so he can't really return in vain, right?
Wang Di's idea was to save Wujun first.
Even if he saves Wujun, even if he has a good record, Yingdu's side will be easy to explain.
Next, if you have the opportunity, you will find an opportunity to kill and injure the main force of the Yu army in the field, and if you don't have a chance, you will drag it out first. Or, the army goes directly to South Korea. Of course, the fight against South Korea requires the central Gungon Zhugong to make a decision, but judging from the current situation, the central government may not be able to give up Yingdu.
[Maybe you can recruit more auxiliaries!] 】
Wang Di decided to ask for more cannon fodder.
Ruishi can apply for more, but it is not a big problem for cannon fodder to ask for another 500,000.
At this stage, in the end, what we need is to make a result, and only with the results can we make requirements.
So, when the Qin army auxiliary troops stormed the defense line of Dayu Yingdu, the Qin army besieged Xiling.
Dayu guarding Xiling was the clan general Dong Cheng and the general Zhu Ran.
Dong Cheng was one of the eight clan generals who got the template of Cao Wei's Eight Tigers, and he got Cao Ren's template, which was extremely good at guarding; Zhu Ran's best record in history was the defense of Gangneung.
This is a duel between offense and defense, but the worst thing is that Dayu has the advantage of a naval army, which can support Xiling at any time, and can replace the wounded and replenish the soldiers and horses; It can also use the waterway to go around to the rear of the Gong Army to cause trouble.
In the absence of Zhou Tai, Lu Xun, and Jiang Qin, it was Meng Heng, who was known as the master of mobile defense, who was responsible for the dispatch of mobile defense of troops and ships on this line.
In fact, as long as it was not a field battle, Dong Huang's army was not afraid of the Qin army's military formation.
The previous defeat of the Chu army by Huang Zhong's subordinates was also because Da Yu did not have a sufficient understanding of the most elite military formation of the Chu State; And all the space troops were consumed, and the losses of the military array troops in Huang Zhong's headquarters were not very large.
And because of Dong Huang's crazy harvest in Yingzhou, the Dayu army also has enough confidence to fight with Qin State.
Big deal, spend another 10 billion!
As long as the balance between the number of people and the food is maintained!
The offensive and defensive battles in Xiling were in full swing, and the battle of White Emperor City was officially launched.
In order to rescue Wujun, Meng Wu, who was not hot on the buttocks, had to lead the Qin army assembled from Guanzhong and Chengdu and other places, and advanced by land and water to approach the White Emperor City.
There is no doubt that Mengwu is fighting a political battle, because since the army has already arrived in Ba, there is no reason to stand still and let Wujun be captured.
In fact, the Dayu army would have the audacity to besiege Wujun, but it was beyond the expectations of the Qin State. Qin originally thought that Dayu would at most fight Xiling and block the way out of the Bashu Qin Division, who would have thought that the Dayu army would be bold enough to attack Wujun and go deep into Bashu.
For the land of Bashu, if the Dayu army can't get into Xiling, the Wujun has already entered, and they have to touch that membrane!
There is no reason why the Qin State is not in a hurry.
But the location of the White Emperor City is really good, it perfectly guards the only passage on the road for Bashu to send troops to Jingxiang, and there is Jiangxin Island as each other, which is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Mengwu relied on only the Bashu garrison in Chengdu and other places.
The reason why this is so is because these armies have had a lot of experience in mountain warfare in recent years, and there are even many Ba people who have joined them.
Around the time when Dong Huang's army officially attacked Jiangdong, the war agents in the land of Bashu formed an alliance through tandem, wanting to block the main force of the Qin army from moving south by controlling the Sword Pavilion and Jinniu Road, and then capture Bashu.
Until Dong Huang entered Huiji Mountain and got Emperor Yu's relics and was almost killed, the army of the war agent attacked Shushan and killed a large number of Shushan Yuyuan guards.
However, these war agents were quickly defeated by the Qin army, which reacted, with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai.
At that time, after encountering stubborn resistance in Jinniudao and Jiange, the Qin State transferred troops from Nanjun, Wujun, Qianzhong County and other places, and entered Shu through Ba to quell the rebellion.
Because the war agent failed to capture the chin, the Qin army was able to enter Bashu smoothly from Badi, and the next frontal battle was a one-sided slaughter.
All the rebellious war agents, except for a few clever ones who fled to the land of Baipu or Qiang, were all killed, and the cities of the war agents were all captured, and the accumulated wealth and women became the spoils of the Qin army, and the male captives became slaves.
In the process of countering the rebellion in Qin, there were two families with the surname Ba who contributed greatly, and one of the two families with the surname Ba was called Fengba; One is Ji surnamed Ba, called Ji Ba.
The Feng surname Ba is a descendant of Fuxi, this branch established the state of Cuba in the Xia Dynasty, the capital of the country was Yicheng (now Enshi, Hubei), and then moved to Danshan (now Xuyong, Sichuan), and moved to Wushan during the Shang Dynasty.
Ba Shi Yongrui, singing and dancing to Ling Yin people, the former disciples fell, so the world called it "King Wu cut down, before singing and dancing also".
This passage is about the Ba people led by the surname Ba Shi.
However, perhaps because he saw the power of the Ba people, after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, he began to make things bad, instigated the internal strife and division of the Ba people, and divided the Zhou royal family surnamed Ji into the Ba country, this branch is the Ji surname Ba clan.
It is difficult for the Ji surname Ba to effectively control the entire Ba country, so he can only co-govern with the Feng surname Ba and marry from generation to generation.
After the Chu people attacked the country of Ba, the people of Ba were divided and migrated again, and finally the country of Ba was annexed by the state of Qin, resulting in the division of the people into four parts, part of which was near the ditch, mainly the seven surnames of the far Cubans, that is, the seven surnames of the later people, Dong Huang got the first pair of twins Pu Wan and Pu Yue is the people, and the father of the twins, Pu Hu, is one of the leaders of the seven surnames of the people.
Some of them are the two surnames Ba in Ba, Wushan and other places, among which the royal family surnamed Ba has been moved to Xianyang.
Some of them were moved by the Chu people to the Dabie Mountains and the Yangtze River (in Huanggang City) after the previous Chu State War, and were called Wushui Man.
The last part is in Qianzhong County, which was later called Wuxi Man.
To get back to the point, Feng Ba is good at business, can make cinnabar and mercury, has a large number of servants, and is said to be able to witchcraft.
Jiba had a lot of means of transport and ships, and they mobilized the Ba people to help the Qin army with transportation, assisted the Qin army in guarding Ba, and finally helped the Qin army win a great victory.
Erba's submissive performance made them fall into the eyes of the Qin army, and the Qin State positioned Erba as an official and businessman.
Fengba only has three daughters, so he was given the title of head of the Fengba family; Ji Ba was knighted by father and son, and his son Ji Baxiao followed Mengwu as a general of the naval army this time.
And Ji Baxiao has a fiancée of the Fengba family, named Fengbaqing.
"Qing'er, when I win this battle, I will go back to my hometown and marry you!"
Ji Baxiao looked at the Qingqing River and remembered the girl named Qingqing in his hometown.
Defeat before victory.
The Mengwu who had to fight this political battle took the pass as a base camp, actively expanded the city, and hoarded grain and grass, just in case the navy was defeated and was cut off from the back road and trapped in the narrow land from the pass to the White Emperor City.
Zhang Ren, Huo Jun, Huo Du, Wang Ping, Jia Kui, and Zhou Tai, the governor of the naval army, turned a blind eye to the actions of the Qin army, and only concentrated on building cities and stockpiling grain, grass and ordnance, and also looked like they were going to fight a protracted war; In private, he had already figured out the hydrological conditions of the general's arrival in Ba, as well as the number of ships and equipment of the Qin army.
The Dayu army is really not in a hurry, now the Qianzhong County and the southern Hunan region have not been digested, Wujun has not been defeated, Yingdu is still fighting, and the Dayu army simply does not have enough spare strength and energy to expand the war.
In the end, Meng Wuxian couldn't hold on.
The center could not tolerate the loss of another Wu county, because this would directly threaten Bashu, which was regarded as the rear of the Qin State, and Lü Buwei had just taken power, and gave Meng Wu the opportunity to make up for his mistakes, and Meng Wu, as a son, had to do something to make up for it.
Meng Wu ordered the army to launch a tentative attack on the strongholds around the White Emperor City, but the vanguard troops fell into Zhang Ren's plan to lure the enemy deeper and were ambushed and shot by Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren, who is good at ambushes and arrow formations, is also a beneficiary of the Korean Gongzheng Army Formation, and he is also groping for his way out, in this kind of land of lofty mountains and valleys, he is like a fish in water.
After the defeat of the initial battle, Meng Wu personally commanded the army to attack, but it was difficult to give full play to the advantages of the mountain and forest terrain troops, and the Dayu army relied on the terrain and fortifications to rain arrows and resist stubbornly, and there were also a lot of trebuchets and crossbow arrays on the hillside, and it was difficult for the Qin army to use it at all.
The Qin army can only bite hard, but such losses are great.
Seeing that the war was unfavorable, Ji Baxiao, who had always wanted to behave, proposed to attack the Dayu Navy with fireboat fire first, and after gaining water superiority, he would directly send troops to the rear of the White Emperor City, and besiege the White Emperor City on both sides.
Meng Wu decided to give it a try.
However, try and die.
Meng Wu collected 200 boats to serve as fireboats, took advantage of the night to approach the Jiangxin Island of the White Emperor City, lit the fire, and let the fireboats go downstream.
However, after the soldiers of the Qin army who ignited the fire entered the water, they were directly divided into bodies by the sharks, and the fire boat was also controlled by the sharks, avoiding the Dayu water army and floating downstream.
At the same time, the Dayu army lit a fire on Jiangxin Island, making it look like the water army was burned.
The Qin army's navy really hit the plan, and the navy went down the river to take advantage of the situation to take Jiangxin Island, but it was surrounded by Dayu's superior navy, and the Qin navy was defeated by surprise.
Zhou Tai beheaded dozens of generals and colonels of the Qin army, including Ji Baxiao.
The naval army trained by the Qin State in Pakistan was empty.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Wu retreated to defend the pass, but Dong Huang's army did not pursue from the road, but the navy fleet went against the current and made a posture of threatening the back road of the pass.
Ba Cheng was shocked three times a day.
When Jingling and White Emperor City successively achieved great victories, Dong Huang, who was day after day, finally achieved great victories in the baby fish.
Dong Huang first covered the death of the boss of the startled salamander and was controlled by the corpse, which broke the mental defense line of the startled salamander, and then combined with Baiyue's special incense and the special elixir of the Yin and Yang family, he began a month-long one-on-one top door.
After all, the one who can splash and leap the baby fish can't compete with the fierce and scorching sun breath of the sun god bird, and I don't know if it's a dream or a wake-up, and I have become Dong Huang's loyal subordinate in a daze.
It's just a little bit overdone.
A small essay of one million words can be omitted here.
It can only be said that the colder it is, the more debauched it is;
The purer it is, the more contrasting it is.
The baby fish that splashes in the water at the slightest touch, you deserve it.
