Chapter 443: Fighting will to the sky, our Han army is mighty
In the past few days, the common people, troops, officials, gentry and nobles of Zhongshan Kingdom have been feeling very sad.
Ten days ago, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they were all happy to see their own army showing off its power on the Northern Han Dynasty, which had been overwhelming their own country for five hundred years.
However, the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and blessings. In just a few days, the Taiwei was gone, and Quzhou's main army of hundreds of thousands was beaten back to Guangyang City with blue and swollen faces.
Started the turtle defense style thing.
What hurt the Zhongshan Kingdom even more was that the Han army that had done such a big 'deal' was only a handful of 5,000 horsemen. The Zhongshan Kingdom had their heads stuck in their crotches and did not dare to stick them out to see anyone.
Now, that Zhu Biao brought tens of thousands of cavalry to wipe out more than 20,000 of his own troops in Yuzhou, and aggressively entered his country. The hateful governor of Yuzhou in the Northern Han Dynasty also pretended to be powerful and brought thousands of rags with him.
The army came running over, pulling behind them a series of carts of cattle and horses, carrying money, grain, equipment, and supplies. They grabbed everything and pulled back everything. Nothing in Zhongshan Kingdom could be more hurtful than this.
People say: Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river; people all say: Feng shui takes turns;
But the "thirty years" of the Zhongshan Kingdom were too short, and the Feng Shui of the Zhongshan Kingdom was too good. The country's face was completely lost, just like the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty in Chinese history.
Even a remnant of the army could not defeat it. How could the Zhongshan Kingdom hold its head high in front of the world?
The tens of thousands of Zhongshan troops stationed in Zhongshan were swept across the entire west side by Zhu Biao within three days. But if someone asked Zhu Biao about this, Zhu Biao would be fair.
Zhongshan State, which had a total of 400,000 standing troops, sent 200,000 troops to the Northern Han Dynasty, 100,000 troops to Quzhou, and more than 20,000 troops to Yuzhou. Due to the failure of the attack, Muzhou added 10,000 troops, which is more than 30,000 troops.
As soon as they arrived, they dispersed 90% of their total force. There were only 40,000 experienced standing troops left in Zhongshan, of which 10,000 were still stationed in Xiyang, the country. Only a few 30,000 veteran troops were guarding the country.
Zhu Biaowan rode a tiger and attacked suddenly, but he was completely defeated and couldn't even stop him.
There are still some new troops guarding the upper part of the place. After the Zhongshan Kingdom fell out with the Northern Han Dynasty, they also hurriedly organized and trained the new army. At one time, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were gathered in the camp near the Xiyang capital to train hard, but
Now the saplings are only as thick as their arms, and they have not yet matured into pillars. In Zhu Biao's view, they are just a group of Northern Han militia with enhanced equipment, which cannot even be compared with the auxiliary troops of Bodaoling. The defeat of the local area is due to strength.
The defeat was not the fault of the generals.
But these words are redundant. Zhu Biao's headquarters Wanqi has arrived at the outskirts of Xiyang. For King Zhongshan and the Kingdom of Zhongshan, this is the most important and serious matter.
The King of Zhongshan has urgently called for the Zhongshan Army in Muzhou to retreat, and ordered the general to command the army. After deducting enough troops and horses left to guard the eastern border, the remaining troops quickly reinforced Xiyang.
Therefore, on the third day after Zhu Biao led his cavalry to show off their power under Xiyang City, and on the third day after nearly ten thousand Han cavalry were leisurely "burning, killing and looting" near the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom, a group of twenty thousand old cavalrymen
The Zhongshan army composed of 100,000 new troops counterattacked Zhu Biao in a mighty manner.
Countless burned fields in the suburbs have become fighting fields on both sides. What used to grow there were summer grains that were about to be harvested.
Seeing the fields that were so dark that no trace of khaki could be seen at a glance, countless Zhongshan Army soldiers gritted their teeth and clenched their weapons. If they couldn't cut it, they would burn it with fire. Zhu Biao was too cruel.
, the Han army was also too damaged.
Although these fields are the property of high-ranking officials in the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom, and some of them are even Wangzhuang, they have nothing to do with the morale of ordinary Zhongshan Kingdom. But don’t forget the origins of these soldiers. Ninety percent of them are children of farmers. What I hate the most
The behavior was "burning, killing and looting" that Zhu Biao committed in three days.
The fields were burned down, and the chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, cattle and horses were snatched and slaughtered for meat or brought to the army for military supplies. Their behavior was indeed much more excessive than what the Zhongshan Army did when they entered the Northern Han Dynasty!
Among the 120,000 Zhongshan troops, there were some who came from wealthy families in the royal capital. Looking at the current state of their property, they all wished they could behead Zhu Biao alive.
The soldiers and generals were united, and stimulated by the "tragedy", the 120,000 Zhongshan Army became murderous.
In a village in the eastern suburbs, Zhu Biao was squinting his eyes and dozing under a big locust tree. Feng Enjiang and others who knew his habits knew that Zhu Biao was thinking about how to fight!
Guards were stationed around the village, and soldiers and horses were on the move coming and going at the village intersection. From time to time, eyes were focused on Zhu Biao. The soldiers were a little confused as to why the general would set up a battlefield in such a flat and open place.
!
The soldiers didn't know how many thousands of people had come from the Zhongshan Army. Di Feng had been restrained by Zhu Biao. All he had to do was report the true military situation to Zhu Biao himself. So a battle was about to begin, and the soldiers were still confused about the number of enemies on the opposite side.
middle.
If it were another army, there might have been some commotion at this moment. However, this is Bodaoling, the team led by Zhu Biao. Even if they were not at the bottom of the Battle of Dongjiang, no one would raise any doubts about Zhu Biao's decision.
.Because the cavalry showdown under Beiling City, which was even more glorious than the Battle of Dongjiang, had united the hearts of all people.
"Brothers, there are 120,000 Zhongshan troops opposite!"
Everyone gathered in the wilderness, and Zhu Biao dropped a big bomb with his first words. Not only did the explosion make the scalps of the soldiers numb, but also generals Luo Yaxiu, Zhu Zhong, and Zhu Tong were shocked.
When Zhu Biao 'restrained' Di Feng earlier, they thought he was hiding the news and released him without intending to start a fight. Wouldn't this affect the morale of the military?
"Does 120,000 scare you?"
There was a commotion among the soldiers. Although it only caused a wave and quickly dissipated like the wind blowing on the water, Zhu Biao was still very dissatisfied.
The tiger's eyes were watching everyone, and his sharp eyes swept across the faces of the first few rows of soldiers, waiting for their answers.
"Don't be afraid!" the soldiers replied loudly.
"Are you scared?" he continued to ask.
"Not afraid!" he replied loudly again.
"The voice is not loud enough. Are you scared?" Zhu Biao asked as if he was roaring.
"Not afraid!" Asked three times in a row, it was a shame for the soldiers. Everyone, including the four generals present, roared in reply.
"Louder!"
"Don't be afraid!"
The roar like thunder spread far away. The Zhongshan troops ten miles away looked up at the sky. The sun was clearly shining brightly, so why did it sound like thunder?
"Today, we are going to defeat the 120,000 Zhongshan Army here. Face to face, head-to-head, without any lies or tricks, we will defeat the 120,000 Zhongshan Army head-on!"
"Some of you may ask, why is this happening? Can the Zhongshan Army be defeated in this way? They are more than twelve times stronger than us!"
"Why not use the advantages of our cavalry to drag the Zhongshan Army, disperse them, wear them down, divide them, and then destroy them!"
Zhu Biao, even Zhu Zhong and Zhu Tong did not tell Zhu Biao about the intention of this battle, nor did he tell everyone.
Now hearing what he said, people's eyes lit up, yes, why not defeat the Zhongshan Army as the general said?!
——Scatter them, drag them down, divide them, and then destroy them!
How incisive! It will also reduce casualties.
"Then let me tell you, because if you do that, the Zhongshan Army will not obey, and the Zhongshan Kingdom will not obey. They will think that they fell into our trap and fell into our tricks, which led to their failure.
They are not convinced by this kind of failure, and this kind of dissatisfaction will make them pull out a large army again and fight us again." This is a good saying.
The art of war is tricky. But the art of war has always admired the majestic formations. "Use the right combination and use the unexpected to win" is the true meaning of war.
The other side of resourcefulness is insidiousness and cunning. No enterprising person will be convinced by being defeated by such an opponent. [A family saying, Han|Feng personally thinks so.]
"What is the situation of the country? All the armies should know it well, right? Although our country is fighting with Zhongshan at this time, the first enemy is still in the north, on the prairie. The Hugo is our first enemy. If there are too many If all our energy is spent on the Zhongshan Kingdom, not only will our three southern states transform from a safe hinterland into a frontline battlefield, but it will also make our country's already small military strength even more stretched.
Therefore, I want to defeat the Zhongshan bandit uniform and the Zhongshan national uniform at once. I want them not only to take it verbally but also to be convinced. I want them to feel chilled when they see our battle flag after today’s battle. Our uniforms tremble, and when we think of my big man’s name, we run away with our heads in arms!”
"Whoop-whoop-whoop!"
There were three thunders on a sunny day, and all the anxiety, hesitation, and confusion of the Han cavalry soldiers were crushed to pieces by this "I want" and swept away cleanly!
So heroic, so mighty, so heroic!
"Morale 100, inspire - look forward to death!"
"Morale is 100, inspiring - everyone is united!"
Two crisp sounds sounded in Zhu Biao's mind, which were system prompts.
"Ding, level 1 mission—sweeping thousands of armies like a maelstrom!"
"Trample the hearts of your enemies with your mighty iron hooves, and let their souls tremble for you!"
"Reward: Unknown."
…………
"How can we convince the people of Zhongshan? That is to confront them head-on, without resorting to intrigues or despicable means, and let them display all their strength. Then, we can crush them openly and openly. , crush them, defeat them completely!"
Compared with a tactical victory that defeated the Zhongshan Army through clever tactics, the latter hit them harder in the heart. To directly suppress the morale of the Zhongshan State was to use victory and the defeat of the Zhongshan State to inflict heavy losses on all Zhongshan forces.* A monument to the invincibility of the Han army was built in the hearts of the Chinese people, and they were suppressed forever!
"Brothers, this battle will be very difficult, there will be great sacrifices, and there may even be failure. However, I, Zhu Biao, your general, will fight from beginning to end until the last moment, regardless of success or failure.
You! Are you willing to fight with me?"
"Willing—willing—willing—"
"Will you follow me to crush the enemy's army, crush the 120,000 Zhongshan Army, crush the 120,000 Zhongshan Army, and completely defeat the 120,000 Zhongshan Army?"
"We are willing, we are willing, we are willing. We are willing to die with the general, and we are willing to die for the general!"
"We, the Han Army——"
"Mighty!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
