Chapter 154: The Great War (IV)
Outside Liangchuan County, there was a quiet place.
Wang Hongyi's army did not go outside the city in large quantities, but the nearby caravans had already received news of the Shu army and dared not pass by Liangchuan County.
If you are involved in the war, not only will the goods be difficult to save, but your own lives will be difficult to save. Even if the military discipline in Shuzhong is good, what should you do when encountering a migrant soldier?
Businessmen will not make such stupid mistakes.
However, the places that were attacked by the Shu army were not as quiet as this. Almost a day, blue smoke rose up in several directions.
In the county council hall.
Guo Wentong sat upright on the top, wearing a golden armor, and looked majestic.
At the lower head of Guo Wentong, he stood with his subordinates, as well as the Liangchuan County Governor Xu Bing and others.
Looking at Guo Wentong sitting on the top, Xu Bing's expression was a little complicated.
Guo Wentongneng led an army of 30,000 to come, which was a reassurance for the people of Liangchuan County.
Even a powerful general like Xu Bing is happy.
Although Xu Bing was straightforward, he was not stupid. Naturally, he knew that with the thousands of people under his command, it was unrealistic to stop Wang Hongyi's 50,000 Shu army. Now he gathered 40,000 people, and his troops were strong. Even if the enemy had a huge rock cart, it would be difficult to break.
After all, the gap between 40,000 and 50,000 is not big.
At this moment, Guo Wentong had learned from Xu Bing some of the recent actions of the Shu army. The expression on his face was very calm, but there was a hint of confusion.
He always felt that there were some problems with the various behaviors of the Shu army out of war intuition.
But the strength and attack of the Shu army were obviously not false. There were indeed quite a few troops with a 50,000 army, and the difference was extremely limited. It was not the so-called empty city plan or empty camp plan.
The two counties had already surrendered when the army arrived, which is also a fact.
The Shu army had not reached Liangchuan County to attack the city at this time, which was undoubtedly indestructible news for Guo Wentong. Although it took not much time for Guo Wentong to mobilize the army and horses, Wang Hongyi launched an attack earlier, which was undoubtedly unfavorable for Guo Wentong.
The Shu army's uncontrollable troops made Guo Wentong feel uneasy at this time.
Guo Wentong gathered 40,000 troops to fight with Wang Hongyi. Wang Hongyi's Shu army was only 50,000. Guo Wentong himself occupied the territory, but Guo Wentong had no clue in his heart about this war.
Moreover, the thunder chariot that Wang Hongyi would use every time he sieges the city and plunder the land made Guo Wentong very afraid. Will the Shu army use this item when he came to attack Qinchuan?
What impact will it have if this thing is used?
Although Liangchuan County was captured by him, it was not long before it was taken over, and many things were difficult to estimate.
The 30,000 soldiers I brought this time, of which 10,000 were not considered new soldiers, but not elite soldiers.
These soldiers were usually soldiers from counties and counties, but they had been trained in this county.
In fact, I have never been on the battlefield a few times and can still exert a lot of combat effectiveness when fighting smoothly, but once I encounter difficulties, my fighting will and combat effectiveness are really worrying.
The soldiers under Guo Wentong's tent were originally veterans, and they took them out one by one. Their physical fitness, strength, and combat skills were not comparable to ordinary men. However, when attacking Liangchuan County, they suffered a lot of losses. Qinchuan's old nest had to leave a group of troops to station and defend, so they could only bring some new recruits out.
If these soldiers fight with Wang Hongyi's Shu army, the final outcome is really hard to say.
While Guo Wentong was thinking, a sound of footsteps came quickly from outside.
"Report!"
"Go and have a look." Guo Wentong said to the servant standing beside him. The man responded respectfully and walked out.
After a while, he came back to report: "Master, it is the scout in the army who came back to report on military affairs!"
"Let him come in." The dull atmosphere was immediately broken, and Guo Wentong raised his head and said.
“Yes, Lord.”
After a while, the scout quickly entered the conference hall. When he saw Guo Wentong sitting at the seat, he immediately bowed down and reported: "Master, I just found out that the Shu army had crossed Zhanshan County, only eighty miles away from the county town."
"Is that right?" Guo Wentong's nerves tightened.
However, I think I know that the Shu army will not be so quiet all the time, and will always come when it comes.
"I guess Wang Hongyi already knew that this handsome guy was here. Since that's the case, let's see who the hero is!" At this moment, Guo Wentong no longer concealed his anger. He slapped the handrail of the seat beside him and stood up.
"Hmph! The Wang family, you are too bullying! Do you really think Qin is so easy to get in and out? I want to see how capable you have to win Qin Chuan!"
"Don't the Wang family want to occupy Guanzhong? Let's let him take a look at the might of Guanzhong!" Guo Wentong said loudly when he swept to the generals down the seat. At this moment, the heroic spirit, which was originally the first prince of Guanzhong, returned to Guo Wentong.
"Lord, hero, hero!" The general under Guo Wentong's tent quickly responded, and Xu Bing was even more excited, feeling his blood boiling. This was his lord.
Only Chang Huaiyuan, the adviser on the side, seemed to be lowering his head and thinking, his face somewhat subtle.
He originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the morale of the lord minister, he immediately kept silent.
We must always confront the Shu army. Since this is the case, our morale will be greatly boosted and we must not be exposed.
The Shu army came very quickly, and the 50,000 Shu army quickly arrived at the county town.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly, standing on the high wall, dozens of miles around were all in front of you.
In the Shu army camp, you can see the central army, countless red flags lingering, and layers of Shu army appearing, each with full morale. What is particularly frightening is that the listed square formation was neatly stepped forward, and tens of thousands of people stepped forward, forming a neat sound like thunder.
Two miles from the city, a sound like a thunderous sound came from the Shu army formation: "My Lord Wan Sheng!"
Amid the cheers, the central army moved slowly, and tens of thousands of people were seen working together. In just a moment, a piece of mud tower was built and the central camp of the Shu army was stationed.
After a while, the battalions were stationed, and the order was clear, the camps were firm and they depended on each other.
Guo Wentong stood on the city tower and looked into the distance, his face was gloomy. The momentum of the Shu army really surprised him, and he thought to himself: "I don't expect this guy to really become a climate."
"Lord, the Shu army is coming very strong!" Chang Huaiyuan stood beside him, looking into the distance, and said.
Guo Wentong turned his head and looked at him: "Sir, do you have a clever plan to withdraw your troops?"
"Wang Hongyi came here this time, and he was so imposing that he was not sure to withdraw his troops." Chang Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and said.
"This is it. There is no clever plan to withdraw the army. Only one battle. Although Wang Hongyi has 50,000 Shu troops, his commander also has 40,000 Qin troops. He fights against the city and can definitely repel him! But like mediocre people, he is afraid of the Shu troops and cannot escape. That is really a joke among the people in the world!" Guo Wentong said with a gloomy face.
In the afternoon, the Shu army of Yidu came to the city and shouted and shouted. This was actually the default vanguard, testing each other's strength. Therefore, in less than a moment, with a drum sound, the city gate opened wide, and three thousand troops broke out from the county city.
The current general is Xu Bing, who is followed by two young generals.
Just when the two armies began to fight, in the Shu army several miles away, Wang Hongyi said to Zhang Youzhi beside him: "As Gu expected, Guo Wentong sent people out of the city to fight. Zhang Qing and Gu went to the high slope to see?"
"I obey the order." The land was built and it was more than ten meters high. When you went up, you could see the big city in the distance and two armies on the flat ground outside the city.
"Are you preparing along the way?" Wang Hongyi looked in the direction of the county town and asked someone behind him.
"The five hundred riders are ready!" The man replied respectfully.
"That's good. This time, the two armies are just trying to test each other's reality. It is the default rule. However, if there is a problem, the cavalry will appear!" Wang Hongyi nodded and looked at him intently.
The venue was silent, and Chai Jia was on the scene, and ordered: "Our army advances!"
"Go forward!" Amid the officers' call, the "wavering" sounds were heard, and the spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and bow and arrow camps all formed a formation to move forward!
The marching drum beats, and with the drum beats, the solemn soldiers in the army began to move slowly.
"Go forward!" There was a neat step.
Seeing this, Xu Bing felt a stern, but he sneered: "Our army is advancing!"
Similarly, three thousand Qin troops stepped forward, and this movie was all brave in combat.
After stepping forward to a certain distance, suddenly, the two army shouted almost at the same time: "Kill!"
For a moment, flags were waving and killing sounds were everywhere. Both armies were fighting fiercely. Two rolling iron streams collided with each other, and they were red in their eyes. They fought each other and installed each other. Some people kept falling down and people kept filling in.
In ancient times, after the battle started, the main general could not command everything.
The command of the phalanx is strictly advancing and retreating, which is basically impossible.
"It is as fast as the wind, its sprint is as slow as the forest, it invades like fire, it is as motionless as the mountain, it is difficult to know as the yin and move like thunder." If it is about the overall quality, or it is okay in front of the formation, it is impossible to do it at this time, and it can only maintain the battle formation in general!
For the superiors, this is just a test. Wang Hongyi and Guo Wentong are watching at the moment.
After watching for a while, Wang Hongyi's eyes flashed. The training gun forest and array still played the most basic use, but there were also obvious flaws. It was difficult to reach a coordinated connection during the confrontation, and the gap was often broken.
Once the gap is opened, the spearmen who are not turning will be slaughtered one-sidedly, but with swords, shields, and bows and arrows, this is not a big problem.
The real big problem is that once the formation is broken, the Shu army soldiers are not experienced enough, and it can be easily seen that the enemy has experienced and the old army cooperates from time to time, blocks the grid and kills, grasps the rhythm and strength, breaks the small formation one by one, and then the Shu army becomes in chaos and is chopped and killed.
Of course, the Shu army's small formation is also very powerful. As long as it is not messed up, the small formation will attack together and assassinate the enemy.
In just a moment, the corpses of my enemies piled up in an interlaced manner.
However, the Shu army's non-commissioned officer system still played a role. Even if the formation was broken, the non-commissioned officers would call them to integrate soldiers to varying degrees.
"Our army system is above the Qin army, but there are not enough veterans!" Seeing that the draw was not needed, there was no need to consume soldiers anymore, Wang Hongyi ordered: "Get off!"
Suddenly, the camp retreated, and almost at the same time, Guo Wentong stood on the city tower, saw clearly, sighed, waved his hand and said, "Stop the army!"
When Xu Bing heard the call to withdraw the troops, he had to shout: "Retreat!"
Chapter completed!
