Chapter 153: The Battle of Shangchuan: The Name of the Slaughter (I)

Huiji County,

"Wei Guowu, is it really invincible?"

Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Kuo looked at the southwest direction from afar, read out lightly, and slapped his palms with the military book in his hand, as if he was contemplating something.

Speaking of the most staggering battle recorded in the military book by the Wei military soldiers was a hundred years ago, when the Wei soldiers broke ten times the enemy of their own strength,

Wei State military soldiers, five people for the team, two for the Shi, five for the tun, set up one tun chief, two tun for one hundred, set up one hundred generals, five hundred, set up five hundred masters......

The establishment is subdivided to the extreme,

The recruitment of soldiers is also better than indiscriminate.

It is precisely because of this harshness that Wei Wushu was only 50,000 when it was full, but at that time, Wei relied on these 50,000 Wei Wushu to silence several surrounding countries, and the prosperity of the soldiers was rare in the world.

"Count the days, it's almost time for the Wei army to arrive. ”

Zhao Kuo turned back to the tent and looked at the mountains and rivers of Huiji County on the sand table, and was a little stunned, Huiji County is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also a place where Wei must pass through to send troops.

I don't know to what extent the Qi-Wei alliance has reached, but the Dao ideal of the false Dao is that the monarch of the Qi State naturally knows it, and although the Wei State has not been as strong as it used to be in the past hundred years, it is also a big country after all.

Once the soldiers of the Wei State enter the country through the passage, when the time comes, Qi Qian will be unable to return to the aid when he starts a war, even if it is a real alliance, the Wei State will not be able to drive straight into Yong'an City at that time, after all, the meat in the pot is fragrant, and it is not as stable as the one in the bowl.

The Three Kingdoms have been in constant friction for more than a hundred years, and the current so-called alliance is just a binding of interests, and the diplomacy between countries is just based on interests.

Therefore, Huiji County is the only way for Wei to encircle the Great Cadres!

And the 100,000 troops he brought were stationed in Huiji County in order to block the encirclement of the two countries.

"I don't know how much combat power this Wei Wushu has left now?"

Zhao Kuo put down the military book in his hand and muttered, and looked carefully at the dense banners on the sand table all over the mountains and ravines.

"The martial arts of Wei take it by degree, the armor of the three genera, the crossbow of the twelve stones, the negative arrow is fifty, the crown is on it, the crown is with a sword, and the grain of the three days is won, and the middle of the day is a hundred miles......"

Yu Xinyin read softly when he heard this.

"General Zhao, although Wei Wushu is no longer the glory of a hundred years ago, this system of recruiting troops has been retained to this day, and it is not much worse if you think about it.

"When His Royal Highness and General Bai repel the army of Qi and return to the strength of the three armies of Huiji County to fight against Wei, it is the best policy. ”

"Even if the war is stalemate, it won't be in the way if you can't return for a while, after all, at present, Huiji County is far away from the land of Wei's domestic grain, and the transportation of grain and grass is also quite expensive, as long as the Wei State can't be broken for a long time, this Qi Wei Alliance will naturally be self-defeating, and when the time comes, we can still free up our hands and only wish Yingchuan to be away from the deer. ”

Yu Xinyin looked at the situation deduced on the sand table and didn't care, he had been marching and fighting for many years, and he was more willing to believe in himself than the deduced situation on the sand table.

"In this southern expedition, there are more than 400,000 soldiers of the Qi State, but the most elite Xiandeng dead soldiers twenty years ago have been broken by His Majesty. ”

"But the Wei warriors are still full now, and the battlefield killing has never fallen, most of them are men who have seen blood, not to mention that a few years ago, the off-road people in the mountains made chaos, and the Wei warriors quelled the chaos, one of which broke the thousands of savage tribes with three hundred warriors, although the savages fought without rules, but a body of blood and courage is still far better than that of a soldier, according to that it is really invincible. ”

"Although my Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is the first-class elite in the world, the terrain of Huiji County is really not conducive to cavalry charging, it is better to defend it, and it is still a great achievement to defend Huiji County, and I hope that General Zhao will not be greedy for merit. ”

Yu Xinyin looked at Zhao Kuo, who was still light and breezy on the edge of the sand table, and said bitterly.

"Chief soldier, have you ever thought about a question?"

"Since Huiji County is not conducive to cavalry charging and killing, why not change the battlefield?"

"Turning from a defensive to an offensive?"

Zhao Kuo did not interrupt Yu Xinyin's words, and only after listening carefully did he speak unhurriedly.

Outside Huiji County,

The border of Wei is a horse and a flat river,

"Since the establishment of the Wei army, they have never been the only one to bully others, and the army has never set foot on the territory of the Wei state, so that many fortresses on the border have been abandoned. ”

"The Wei State has always been loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and now the army is open, and the most elite soldiers are also withdrawn, and now it can be said that the inside and outside are loose, if you lead the iron cavalry to avoid the army and drive straight into the capital of the Great Wei, then what about this army that is going out to fight?"

"This time, after Wu Chunqiu, the lord of the Wei State, came out of the Jiangmen, he is not a mud leg who climbed up from the bottom alone, there is the entire Wu family behind him, it is precisely because of this, how can he dare to go to the monarch of the Qi State to ignore it?"

Zhao Kuo tore down the hanging map and pointed in the direction of the capital of Wei and said softly.

After all, General Zhao still lacked some experience in marching and fighting, and he didn't know much about the situation in Wei. ”

"The internal cities of Wei are numerous, each other is horns, although the army goes out, but the county soldiers refuse to defend the city, once the attack can not be taken for a long time, the Wei army returns to the aid of the 100,000 horses, I am afraid that it will be swallowed to the bones and scum left. ”

Yu Xinyin let out a long sigh.

"Chief Yu, have you ever thought about a question? ”

"Why does our army need to capture the capital of Wei, as long as the troops go out and enter the territory of Qi, but if they go hundreds of miles, they don't need to attack the city, just what the soldiers point to is enough. ”

"At that time, did you say that the army that was going abroad would return to help or continue to encircle?"

"It's that the monarch of Wei has the courage to let the army continue to surround each other, but does he dare not return to Wu Chunqiu, who leads the army?"

"The military system of the Qi State is different from that of the Qing State of the previous Dynasty!"

"He didn't dare!"

"He didn't dare to bet, just in case, even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance, he wouldn't dare to bet!"

"If the general who leads the army is his own life, I believe that he dares to gamble, and he also has this courage, but he does not dare to gamble on the safety of the monarch, that is, he wins this battle, how should he deal with himself after returning home?"

"Don't say that sending troops will cut off his way of transmitting the message, that is, the holy decree will be sent to him, and he dares to bear this responsibility?"

Zhao Kuo said loudly.

"Wai Wei to save Qian?"

Cao Xianzhi, who was originally silent on the side, suddenly lit up at this moment.

In this way, it is not impossible to force Wei to withdraw from the army. ”

Cao Xianzhi has already been familiar with the mountains and rivers on the border of Wei, and the national conditions of Wei are also known, and now Zhao Kuo's words are not without the possibility of practice, and he can even enter the territory of Qi from Wei, and the troops are in the rear of the Qi army, and the 100,000 soldiers stationed in Lu County are surrounded before and after, and with the 200,000 Chinese troops led by His Royal Highness Yingchuan County, it is even possible to swallow the 400,000 troops of Qi in one bite.

"The soldiers go out of Huiji County, detour to Linchuan County, avoid the edge of the Wei military soldiers, and the soldiers are directed at the capital of Wei, Wei is mainly heavy infantry, and the rest of the light cavalry is vulnerable, as long as the soldiers are fast, they can even take advantage of the gap of the Wei army to return to the territory of Qi directly!"

Cao Xianzhi's eyes burned at Zhao Kuo.

"What a trick to surround Wei and save Qian!"

Cao Xianzhi exclaimed in admiration.

"But is this move too risky, the troops are already in a weak position, if there is a half-point difference, or if it is dragged in the territory of Wei, it will be the end of the entire army!"

Yu Xinyin and Xing Quwei are both old-fashioned personalities, and it is not surprising that they are now open, which is why Xu Xian and the two were divided into left and right generals in the first place.

"I said when I went out on the expedition, I Zhao Kuo is good at attacking with soldiers, but not good at defending, if it is really as the general soldier said, according to the army to defend in Huiji County and pin all hopes on His Royal Highness to help, then what is the point of me being the main general?"

Zhao Kuo spoke loudly.

"After the soldiers leave Huiji County, whether it is to go around to the rear of the Qi State or the soldiers to point directly at Yong'an City, they are all in a thought!"

"You must know that Qi and Wei are different, there is a place in the territory of Qi called Yuyang Road, although there is a post station on the way, but it is not connected, it cannot cut off the back road of our army, in terms of my cavalry, it is unimpeded, just bypass it is free to advance and retreat, and it is really on this road, only more than 300 miles away from Yong'an City. ”

Zhao Kuo looked at the sand table and muttered softly.

On the side, Cao Xianzhi nodded thoughtfully.

Marching and fighting is to attack unprepared,

At present, it seems that there is a bit of fantasy in it, but at the moment it is not a situation where you can rely on the soldiers and horses in your hands and the national strength behind you.

"But before that, I had to run into the Wei army. ”

"The soldiers are out of Huiji County, detour to Linchuan County, a large circle, Rao is cavalry will also delay two days' effort, this time is enough for the Wei army to react, Wu Chunqiu came from Jiangmen, and he didn't think about it as if he was blind. ”

"At that time, the Wei army came back to help, if it was rushed into the territory of Qi, Wu Chunqiu would have an excuse to send troops, and when the time came, he would follow into Qi Jing, no matter what calculation he played, the initiative was in his hands, so there must be a battle before entering Qi, and our army could enter calmly. ”

Zhao Kuo's words had a hint of coldness in his words, his eyes looked to the southwest, and the scene of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and Wei Wushu fighting had already appeared in his mind.

"If it really reaches the border of Qi, if the monarch of Wei has a heart, the alliance will collapse, and it will not be impossible to take advantage of the situation of the two countries to attack Qi. ”

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the same is true between countries!"

Cao Xianzhi's thoughts flowed.

"General Cao is right, yesterday he Wei State was able to form an alliance with Qi State, once the situation changes, it is also possible to secretly form an alliance with our Daqian to jointly crusade against Qi State. ”

"But Ben will not like the feeling of the initiative in the hands of others. ”

Zhao Kuo clenched his fists,

It is a strong calm self-confidence in his bones.

"What's more, His Royal Highness means to sweep away the countries, the Wei State is already extremely strong, if it is really an alliance to conquer the Qi State, the Wei State and the Qi State border the land is much more, after the division of the Qi State, the Wei State is more powerful, but for the sake of the unknown convenience in the future, this move is categorically unworkable. ”

"Twenty years ago, His Majesty was able to take 7,000 iron horsemen to travel thousands of miles to break the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the Qi Kingdom, although there were twists and turns, but the world's military affairs are impermanent, and the world's elites may not be able to break it, I, Zhao Kuo, also want to try whether the 70,000 Wei soldiers are really invincible!"

"After breaking Wei Wushu, he will directly enter the territory of Daqi, and he will die first!"

"I, Zhao Kuo, have 10,000 military books in my chest!"

"Exhale like a dragon, and kill the peerless!"

Zhao Kuo's back was straight,

Looking at the direction of Nan'an County from afar, he said loudly,

Talking and laughing will determine the rise and fall of a country!

"The Wei army's armored soldiers, selected and trained soldiers, are all heavy infantry, wearing heavy armor, holding swords with swords, carrying bows and crossbows, and crossing arrows, how can General Zhao's hands be full of light cavalry, how can he defeat the heavy armor Wei soldiers?"

"If you can't tear that opening, wouldn't it be a cocoon to be trapped in Nan'an County again?"

Yu Xinyin poured a basin of cold water on his head again.

"The light cavalry naturally can't break through the formation of the Great Wei warriors. ”

"But I still have 3,600 heavy armored iron cavalry in Liangzhou, after the first battle of Muyeyuan, before entering Beijing, His Majesty has recruited a full establishment from the Liangzhou army, and now the 3,600 Liangzhou heavy armored iron cavalry is in Yingchuan, and only His Royal Highness needs to send an order to enter Huiji County. ”

"The heavy-armored iron cavalry only needs to break through a hole and break up the formation of the Wei soldiers, and the remaining Liangzhou iron cavalry is not an embroidered pillow, not to mention that this battle is to make the Wei State hurt the muscles and bones and beat the backbone of the Wei State, not to fight the Wei army to the end. ”

"Heavy Iron Rider?"

Even Cao Xianzhi exclaimed.

Why did His Majesty build this army in the first place, as the old team of Liangzhou, he was very clear, and now the young man in front of him, who has not yet reached the crown, actually started the idea of that army?

When he led his troops to ambush in Makinohara, he really saw what it means to be a steel giant beast that is rampaging on the battlefield, and it is precisely because of this that he feels that Zhao Kuo's words are too crazy.

It turned out to be a bet with the twenty years of hard work in Liangzhou, if the Liangzhou Iron Horse is the world's first-class elite, then the heavy armor Iron Horse is the product of this era, and the price to pay for it is that these old people know best.

"One person and three horsemen rushed to Huiji County, but it was only half a day's work. ”

"When the heavy armored iron cavalry is running for a long distance, it is to change the auxiliary horse to ride, the second horse drags the armor, and the armor horse has a bye, and the loss of combat power on this detour is almost negligible. ”

"It's still too late to send troops!"

Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

"But, will Your Highness give it?"

Cao Xianzhi muttered.

"Can it be broken?"

Zhao Kuo didn't answer, but asked.

"Wei Wushu is wearing triple armor, lined with cloth, Zhongjuan clothes, outer iron armor, holding a big iron halberd, wearing a long sword at the waist, carrying a rhino face oar, can quickly line up in front of the formation, when the shield is closed, even has the strength to divide and surround the elite iron cavalry, and has the confidence to resist the iron cavalry head-on, but it is really against the heavy armor iron cavalry......"

Cao Xianzhi groaned.

The scene of Makinohara came to mind, and the scene of more than 2,400 heavily armored iron cavalry under his command breaking through Chen Wenzhi's 900,000 army is still vivid.

"Can it be broken?"

Zhao Kuo spoke again very calmly.

"Yes!"

Cao Xianzhi gritted his teeth and said.

"Since it can be broken, this soldier can naturally be borrowed!"

"Your Highness can rest assured that the entire Liangzhou Espionage Division will be in the hands of a hundred commanders, how can these three thousand six hundred heavily armored iron horses not be handed over to me Zhao Kuo?"

"Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people!"

Zhao Kuo chuckled, he was less than a weak champion and could still let himself command an army, how could he have the courage to be a soldier, and he would be able to do a good job?

Victorious, from now on

The country of Qi is in ashes,

Wei Guo hurt his muscles and bones,

Daqian can open up territory and expand territory!

"Your Highness can do this, then I, Zhao Kuo, naturally have to be more competitive. ”

"When the heavy armored iron cavalry breaks through Wei Wushu, it will be the time when the 400,000 troops of the Qi State will be killed. ”

Zhao Kuo stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes did fall on the sand table and the position of Lu County, there was also a person named Bai Qi, after the sand table deduction in the Zhao Mansion study, this person lingered in his mind, he was the first person who could force himself to death and then live, although he could not fight against him on the battlefield in this life, but now it is also a great blessing in life to be able to fight hand in hand.

"Where is the military commander?"

Zhao Kuo shouted.

The brush on the table that the hand has already held,

Without the slightest hesitation, he lifted the pen on top of the letter.

A moment later, a soldier from outside the tent came in and fell to his knees.

"Lead a team of orders to ride, and send them to Yingchuan County for 800 miles. ”

After a stick of incense, Zhao Kuo folded the letter in half and covered it with fire paint.

"If you really have that ability, I, Zhao Kuo, don't mind risking my life to pave this journey for you!"

Zhao Kuo dropped the brush and waved his sleeves and turned around,

The old iron sword hanging from his waist shook endlessly,

Gently press the hilt of the sword with your left hand.

The air in the scroll between the eyebrows was all cold, and the eyes were full of murderous intent.

This southern expedition used the rout of Wei Wushu to make Zhao Kuo famous all over the world, as for the more than 400,000 soldiers of the Qi State, once they are encircled, it all depends on your white ability!
