Chapter 325: The General War and the Food War
Duke Qi is still a very capable general.
In history, it was the Duke of Qi who broke through the Great Wall of Wei and captured the city.
In history, in the second year of the first emperor, "the general of the Duke of Qi attacked the scroll and beheaded 30,000." ”
In history, when Duke Qi attacked the scroll, Xinlingjun was not dead, so Duke Qi's attack was likely to be a test to see if Wei would release Xinlingjun, but even if Duke Qi broke through the Great Wall of Wei, took the important town volume of Wei, and beheaded 30,000, the King of Wei still did not release Xinlingjun.
It can be seen that for the king of Wei, the threat of Xinling Jun is greater than that of Qin, and the stability of the throne is more important than the loss of the country.
To get back to the point, although Duke Qi fought a defeated battle in Jingling, this did not prevent him from being the third person in the Qin State military at this time, and he still had the ability level he should have.
Even if he was marching in a hurry, even if it was in the territory of Qin, he released a large number of scouts just in case.
In the battle, the 30,000 sharp soldiers and 180,000 elite regiments of the Qin army were almost completely wiped out, and a large number of Qin troops were either killed in battle, thrown into the river or surrendered, and only more than 30,000 troops who were originally at the end of the team fled to Xingyang.
What is the concept of the march of the 200,000 army?
It's absolutely rambling, and the beginning and end can't be corresponding.
Instead of killing or injuring the enemy, they only want to destroy farmland, burn grain, destroy roads, and throw some dead livestock and poultry into wells when they encounter them, focusing on a war potential that destroys the three countries.
Although Dian Wei is known as the first infantry battle in the Three Kingdoms, he is actually a real horseman. For many years, Dong Huang has been fighting in cavalry, and Dong Huang is also equipped with a large number of tiger troops under his command, which are at least 100 generals in the Three Kingdoms era, and now they have the combat effectiveness and command ability of 1,000 generals at the lowest, and they are all skilled in bows and horses.
These rooks and the rest of the sharps, under his leadership, can form a powerful sharps army formation, which is the only hole card he has turned the tables.
This made the Duke realize that his own information had been leaked.
Lü Buwei: (°д°)
Lu Buwei was completely speechless: I am working hard for the country, and as a result, you want to take away the power of Lao Tzu! And what's going on with Chang Yu? Do you feel that your wings are stiff?
The first is to return the same way, take Yan and Xudu River to Hebei, and fight with Zhao in Hebei or return directly to Daqin.
The second is to go south to threaten Daliang, depending on the situation, to surround Wei to save Zhao or continue to go south, constantly destroy the war potential of Wei, and find the right time to annihilate the enemy in the movement, anyway, he still has more than 100,000 elites in his hands, including fifty or sixty thousand Qin Ruishi, he is not afraid at all.
The third way is to continue the offensive to the west, find the main force of the coalition army, and fight at all costs.
According to intelligence, South Korea is actually two main forces, one is led by Ji Wuye, with almost 150,000 people, and the other is led by Bai Yifei, with about 100,000 people, and these two troops are far from being the opponents of Ruishi! The rest of South Korea's army is basically at the auxiliary level.
Fortunately, Zhao Ji also realized that he had lost his words, so he changed his words: "I have a waiter by my side, who is smart and clever, and can just assist Xiangbang in conducting intelligence." ”
The information that the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army left the Great Wall of Wei was soon learned by him.
Now the weakest of the three Jin Dynasty is the Wei State, because the Wei Wushu of the Wei State has basically withdrawn from the stage of history, and the remaining army is not vulnerable, but it is almost a chicken and a dog in front of the Qin army.
There are also doormen who propose to build a diversion canal in the Guanzhong Plain to expand the irrigation area, and this plan has also been adopted.
The reason why Meng Fu went around in such a big circle was because the Qin army on the side of the wild king was about to be overwhelmed.
This time, the cavalry of the auxiliaries he recruited reached 300,000, and even if 150,000 of them were only at the level of farmers, but it was always okay to ride on a horse and set a fire, right?
And just when Qin Ruishi, who was in charge of the Duke of Qi, was still preparing his clothes and armor and preparing the car formation, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan's subordinates had already led the cavalry to rush over.
Of course, although the coalition forces won the battle in this battle, the losses were also very heavy, and Wei Wushu only had less than 10,000 people left, which was completely crippled; A large number of cavalry under Huang Zhong's command, who was tasked with dividing, blocking and delaying the enemy, were killed in battle, and many middle-level generals were killed; Guo Jia's Bloody Clothes Army suffered more than 20% casualties.
At the same time as the decisive battle of the main force, the infantry troops of the Triple Alliance Army also arrived, and the two sides launched a major battle on the south bank of the Yellow River from Xingkou to Huyi.
Meng Fu chose the third one.
He knew that the Ministry of the Duke of Qi was going to suffer.
"Block with baggage, grain carts, and shoot with crossbowmen!"
At the time of the fiasco of Duke Qi, Meng Fu was already standing on the tower of the sour jujube.
"Lu Sheng, take my short soldiers, block me!"
These auxiliaries in the mouth of the doorman are naturally under the command of the war agent, and there are many sixth-order cavalry under the command of the war agent, and some can even reach the seventh and eighth orders, and these people can imitate the harassment tactics of the Yu army.
In fact, the area south of the Wei Yellow River and north of the line between the sour jujube and the two places has been destroyed miserably because of the war for more than half a year.
In the military system of the Qin State, since the beginning of the 500 lords, the generals have direct short soldiers (personal soldiers) as escorts, and the number is about one-tenth of the commander's army.
Lü Buwei's first reaction was to provoke Zhao Ji and want to seize all control of Luo Wang.
South Korea's response was to ride for ride.
[Damn Yu people, how could there be so many cavalry in the south! 】
Just when the coalition forces thought that Mengfu was going to fight a decisive battle in Sujube in order to save face, the main force of Mengfu suddenly went east, went Yan and Xu again, and then crossed the Yellow River, arrived at the junction of Qi, Qin and Zhao, and fought with Lian Po again.
However, as we all know, Dong Huang has never been a cruel person, and this year's autumn harvest is a bumper harvest in Huainan. In the Jiangnan area of Dayu, there are two bumper harvests, and the three thousand cities of Lingmi rice and rice in Yingzhou also produce very good. The whole Dayu, not to mention the mountains of food, but in the absence of all-out war and large-scale famine, it is entirely possible to support certain countries, provided that these countries are willing to pay a sufficient price.
However, Lü Buwei's vision was not limited to Wei.
The equipment on the car is also comprehensive, with two sets of spears and axes with handles of three meters long, two sets of bows and arrows, Qin crossbows, and also equipped with shields and crossbows with launchers.
Many ambushes in the era of classical warfare do not mean that they are ambushed in front of the enemy's eyes at a position of tens of meters or hundreds of meters, but the other party does not find it at all, which is actually almost impossible!
It was at this time that Meng Fu finally realized that something was wrong.
Few ambush battles are perfect to this extent.
According to the plan of the Dayu Center, the war between Dayu and Daqin will at least end with the last drop of blood in Korea.
He knew that he had to hold off the cavalry of the Yu army and buy time for the main force.
Lü Buwei ordered these cavalry to go to the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei to sabotage.
An even bloodier decisive battle has officially begun.
At this time, Meng Fu did not know that his strategy of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea and encircling and annihilating the enemy had failed.
He believed that no matter how stupid the Duke was, he would be able to bite off a piece of meat on the coalition army, and the coalition army at this time was definitely the weakest time.
It's just that in this way, the coalition army formed a posture of opening bows from the east and west, and the vast Yellow River in the middle was opened, and a small group of cavalry of the Qin army was able to cross the river.
The fiasco of Duke Qi once again shocked the court of the Qin State.
Duke Qi anxiously gave the order, but his order could only reach the ears of the surrounding 30,000 Qin Ruishi at this time, and he inevitably lost control of the army.
Huang Zhong laughed, and the commander's headquarters began to pull the arrow rain, and the three waves of arrow rain before and after took away the lives of more than 1,000 people in the Qi Sheng department, and Qi Sheng was also pierced through the throat by Huang Zhong.
This also meant that the coalition forces completely lost the opportunity to regain the volume.
One side has armor, and one side has to go to the rear transport vehicle to find armor and then take the trouble to wear armor, one side has already killed, and the other side has not yet put on armor, let alone formed a military formation, and even the attacked side and even the general may have been divided and surrounded by a surprise attack to death.
The current generals of the Qin State, such as Meng Fu, can be regarded as the middle stage of the half-step white rise, and Wang Yi can barely be regarded as the first half-step white rise realm.
This attack on Wei State can just destroy Bai Yifei's troops, and then it will be simple to destroy South Korea! ”
The sharp soldiers on whom the Duke of Qi had high hopes had 2,000 chariot soldiers.
26,000 Qin Rui soldiers fought against 30,000 Wei warriors, and the battle between the two sides entered a white heat from the beginning.
Soon after, the cities of Ji and Hu outside the Great Wall of Wei were also recaptured by Mengfu.
Lü Buwei became murderous.
"Dead open!"
After penetrating the hinterland of Wei, not only can Wei be destroyed, but also can bypass the western side of Korea's key defense and launch an attack on Korea from the east.
Each vehicle will also be equipped with eight reinforcements, which will work closely with the vehicle to not only cover the safety of the vehicle, but also facilitate the expansion of the results under the cover of the vehicle, and can be replenished immediately in the event of a vehicle death.
After a few more waves of arrows, Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and ordered to charge.
"Rush over!"
Because the cavalry of Huang Zhong's department went out to destroy the production of Qin again, the more than 20,000 cavalry of Qin also came and went like the wind, causing serious damage to the north of Wei.
However, after the two armies collided together, Huang Zhong realized the elite and tenacity of the Qin army's sharp soldiers, and his soldiers still had the advantage on the horse, and they couldn't fight a one-to-one battle ratio, and after colliding together, Huang Zhong's troops suddenly became very difficult to pull and charge again.
In battle, they shoot with crossbow arrows at a distance and fight with spears when they are close.
It can almost be said to be a pyrrhic victory, but it is also a hearty victory on the frontal battlefield.
Fortunately, there are still many people in the court of the Qin State, and in the end, the Qin State still decided to requisition 50,000 Qin Ruishi, 200,000 elites, and 500,000 auxiliary troops again, and crusade against the Wei State at all costs!
As for stirrups, horseshoes, saddles, and the like, they have long been offered, and it is no longer strange.
It is conceivable that if there is not enough food and grass to support them, there will inevitably be a great famine in these places.
At the moment, he just wanted to prepare the military formation as soon as possible.
Among the three Jins, the strongest is Zhao Guo. Although the Zhao State has been weakened by the epic level of the Battle of Changping, now the young generation who have a deep blood feud with the Qin State has gradually grown up, and these people are really willing to fight to the death when facing the Qin State. And there are many famous generals in Zhao State, even if Lian Po is not as good as Bai Qi, he is also able to break his wrist with Bai Qi, and he speaks in a fantasy way, that is the peak of the half-step Bai Qi level.
As a result, in the last few months of the first year of the First Emperor, the war pattern in the Central Plains suddenly changed greatly, and cavalry burned and looted everywhere.
Many people actually have a great misunderstanding about ambushes and raids, thinking that the so-called ambushes and raids are all about one side underestimating the enemy, and there is no scout or defense at all, which ultimately leads to a big defeat, but this is not the case.
There was a rare argument for peace in the court of the Qin State.
Fortunately, Zhao Guo has a tradition of Hufu cavalry shooting, and the war agents in Zhao have basically united to come to a wave of anti-heaven operations, so Zhao quickly responded, and a large number of cavalry of war agents were dispatched to peck each other with the Qin cavalry, and a large number of Zhao rookie cavalry entered the territory of Qin and began to destroy.
Although the enemy in the territory was basically wiped out in the end, the loss of grain and grass was huge; The damage inflicted by the Zhao army on the Qin state was very small.
In the end, more than 10,000 people from the hungry Qi Gongsuo were surrounded on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Lü Buwei's words were echoed by a large number of Lü Dang.
Unwilling to be humiliated again, the Duke of Qi led his army to launch a decisive charge, and finally died in battle.
Food wars, but also wars.
Lü Buwei felt that his blood pressure was a little high.
Meng Fu suddenly realized that it was not good.
After the national policy was set, Qin's war machine was quickly set in motion.
Only then did the Duke notice that there was also a force of about two or three thousand chariots and more than 30,000 people on the opposite side.
The elite of the ordinary legion is just that, and the sharp soldiers lost by Meng Fu and Gong Qi twice are enough to make the Qin State feel pain!
Huang Zhong sneered regretfully and led his army to retreat from both flanks.
However, because the main passes on the Qin-Zhao border were in the hands of the Qin State, the results achieved by the Zhao State were not large.
Now there are only three paths in front of Meng Fu.
Therefore, South Korea has actually received a wave of secret strengthening, and the two divisions of Xu Huang's army and Tai Shici's army also have 100,000 horses each, of which 50,000 are part of the tiger army, training troops and newly recruited natural persons in this world, and 50,000 are space soldiers.
However, what Lu Buwei didn't expect was that Zhao Ji actually backstabbed him again: "The concubine thinks that she can also fight Zhao Guo, isn't the main force of Zhao Guo confronting General Meng?" How about we take the opportunity to fight Zhao Guo? ”
Wei Wushu!
Duke Qi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, he realized that if he didn't defeat this Wei warrior first, then he wouldn't have a chance to pursue Huang Zhong's troops and even save the other troops.
The Qin army is the best at the coordination of soldiers and vehicles, and the coordination of infantry and tanks in this era.
Among the other countries, South Korea was the first to react.
Another part of the coalition forces again surrounded the volume. Because Wei Wushu was almost completely annihilated, it was extremely important for Wei to recapture the volume and hold the entire line of the Great Wall of Wei.
Duke Qi couldn't even line up 30,000 Qin Ruishi at the first time.
Not only that, but Dian Wei's command also had the Xu Huang Legion and the Tai Shi Ci Legion who secretly came to assist.
Even if there is no military formation, the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry has the tendency to be overwhelming.
The peacemakers believe that from the fiasco of Meng Fu to Xinlingjun two years ago to the fiasco of Duke Qi, in the two years of war, the Qin State has suffered 150,000 casualties before and after, which is already a broken muscle, and the Qin State must recuperate, recuperate, and then consider the matter of attacking.
The effects of the war did not spread so quickly.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why Qin brought so many auxiliary soldiers this time was because a doorman told Lü Buwei that there were many people who were good at riding horses among the auxiliary soldiers, and although their combat effectiveness was not good, they could still be competent if they were just grabbing, sabotaging, or acting as scouts.
Because of Zhao Ji's fateful performance, this court meeting of the Qin State was very uncomfortable.
The battle lasted from noon to evening, and the Qin army, which had been marching rapidly for days, was at a disadvantage from the beginning, but showed extraordinary resilience.
The Duke immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, put on armor, and change formations.
Lü Buwei adopted this strategy and tapped more and more customers.
If it was an ordinary army, such a big loss would have collapsed a long time ago, but this wave of Qin Ruishi was even more excited, and one by one they were like crazy, and they still charged towards Huang Zhong's department.
In this process, the losses of the cavalry of the Dayu army are bound to be not low, but once the division is completed, and when the main forces of the Wei army and the Han army enter, this battle will be stable!
Duke Qi was obviously aware of the purpose of the Yu army, but at this time, the Qin army was able to reluctantly assemble itself in its own song and school, and it was already an elite soldier.
Don't look at the top soldiers of the Qin State are also scarce, but because of the manpower and material resources of more than 10,000 cities, there is still no shortage of basic labor.
Meng Fu sent enough scouts, and the army moved cautiously, and did not give the coalition forces a chance to take advantage of it, as the Ministry of the Duke of Qi did.
Steal from each other, who's afraid of whom!
Although it was impossible to defend against all the cavalry because of the terrain, at the beginning of this kind of chaotic battle, it was very difficult for either side to benefit, and the Qin State even suffered losses in the direction of Korea, not only a large number of fields were destroyed, but at least 200,000 people were captured by Korea.
Some doormen discovered Lü Buwei's intentions, and even presented Lü Buwei with the strategy of "cavalry guerrilla warfare", which was taken by Lü Buwei highly.
The army of the Duke of Qi was on the march.
Lü Buwei: (/_\)
Makes sense, and strategically makes sense...... What a ghost!
Lü Buwei felt that his reasoning had been explained, but as we all know, women are unreasonable.
However, the short soldiers of the Duke of Qi are only 5,000 people, which is not a large number, but they are all sharp soldiers.
Sending troops at this time just happened to grab another wave of Wei's autumn harvest.
On the Wei and Zhao side, Qin's cavalry harassment tactics achieved great results.
Lü Buwei found that some of the disciples had a really long-term vision and a unique view.
A large number of cavalrymen who may not be able to break through the defenses of the native legions on the frontal battlefield have collectively rejuvenated the second spring.
Even if the people in the occupied areas of the Qin State are willing to flee to Korea and Yu because of lack of food, Dayu can also provide them with enough food and land, of course, as for whether the land is in Jiangnan or Yingzhou, then it is another matter.
Seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, the coalition forces could only adopt harassment tactics, but in the end, they could only let Meng Fu's troops reach the volume. The main force of the coalition army bypassed the Great Wall of Wei from Ji outside the Great Wall of Wei, and then garrisoned Ancheng, and sent troops to recapture Suojube, and rearranged the defense line on the Ancheng-Suojube line.
More often than not, they took advantage of the fact that the enemy's march was in a long snake formation, and the army did not have the opportunity to focus on armor, the separation of the main force and logistics, and it was difficult to command in a timely and effective manner, to carry out surprise attacks.
Zhao Ji was not only unreasonable, but the angle was very tricky: "Intelligence? Where did you get the information? Why didn't I get the information when I was in control of the net? You don't think you've got a hand, do you? ”
Therefore, in line with the principle of easy first and then difficult, we will destroy the Wei State first.
After the second rain of arrows covered the Gawan cavalry charge, this short-handed warrior finally couldn't resist, but at this time, the army formation of the Duke of Qi was finally completed, and the Duke of Qi and a kind of Qin army rushed towards Huang Zhong's department who had just inflicted heavy casualties on the Qin army with endless anger.
The Duke of Qi ordered.
Under the bonus of the military formation, a shield collision angle will also be formed, which can completely rampage.
Each car has three armorers, the Mitsute is in the center, the left of the rook is on the left, and the chariot is on the right, all wearing metal armor, and the Mitsumi is armed to the teeth.
So where did the main forces of the coalition go?
Meng Fu hurriedly interrogated, only to learn that the main force of the Allied forces had advanced westward.
Huang Zhong, who realized that the situation was not good, directly exerted the powerful combat power of the third order of mythology, rushed left and right, personally attacked the palace, and slaughtered the Quartet, winning the opportunity to impact the department again.
He knew that the coalition forces that had been fighting with him at one time could not be so weak, and these large battalions were definitely just ordinary auxiliaries.
At the same time, because a large number of Chu soldiers defected to Korea in accordance with the last orders of King Chu Kaolie, Dian Wei recently added 100,000 elites, and the army swelled to 250,000.
This battle was also the most painful defeat of the Qin State since Meng Fu was defeated by Xinling Jun.
"Queen Mother, the top priority is to break the alliance of Han, Wei and Yu first.
The same is true for night raids, where one side is fully armoured and the other side sleeps bare-assed, and it is not at all strange to play an exaggerated battle damage ratio.
Lü Buwei had to talk about the big truth.
It is not an exaggeration to call it a broken muscle.
Digging canals in Guanzhong and increasing grain production in Guanzhong is only a great thing that benefits the present generation and benefits the future generations.
"Good time!"
But Lü Buwei tried his best to resist public opinion and decided to grit his teeth and fight.
And South Korea has an absolute intelligence advantage over Qin, as soon as the Qin cavalry came, Dian Wei and Cheng Yu also quickly responded, concentrating more superior cavalry not only to fight back, but also to kill many times into the territory of Qin.
His reason was simple: "The Qin State suffered heavy losses, but the Wei State did not suffer heavy losses?" The Wei Wushu of the Wei State has been defeated! This is the best time to destroy Wei! ”
After a simple trimming of the sour jujubes, Meng Fu continued to march westward, approaching the coalition army, breaking five or six strongholds of the coalition army in a row.
The coalition forces took the opportunity to capture the twelve cities of Hu and Ji, which were originally occupied by the Qin army outside the Great Wall of Wei, and continued to besiege Juan.
The army was stuck as if it had been stuck in a puddle of mud.
Ruishi's chariots, all made of sturdy materials, actually have special runes, and are pulled by four xenomorph warhorses that are at least the eighth order.
He took the order and left.
Lu Gong couldn't figure it out.
In the territory of Wei, the coalition army had to divide its troops, and some of them went to Baimajin after recapturing the cities of Yan and Xu, wanting to capture Baimajin and build a city, but here they encountered the inspiring counterattack of the Mengfu Department, and the war was quite anxious for a while.
In the territory of Zhao State, Zhao State did not expect the Qin State to come to this scene at all, and suffered a big loss at the beginning.
He feared that if he did not charge, the enemy army would have to prepare the most powerful formation.
The 5,000 sharp soldiers of the department immediately did not hesitate, and did not care about the incomplete armor, formed a military formation, and rushed back against Huang Zhong's department.
At this time, South Korea is much stronger than Qin imagined, but it has not been shown, just waiting to dig a pit for Qin.
Lü Buwei:()
This is in the court, do you want to listen to what you are talking about?
The cavalry of the Dayu army was divided into three parts, and the purpose was obvious, that is, to divide the Qin army, which was hastily converging to form an army array, into four sections.
The area of Dayu is too big, and the population is too scarce, so I can't wait to get more people!
The court of the Qin State saw the benefits of the cavalry destroying the tactics of war, but it did not expect that the real purpose of Dayu was not only to destroy the productive forces of the Qin State, but also to target the populations of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Han.
Not only is it aimed at the population, but for the people of the three countries who are starving to death due to lack of food, Dayu who is willing to provide food and land is simply a savior!
The hungry and cold people of the Three Kingdoms still have to thank His Majesty the merciful Emperor Yu!
