When Duan Pei of the Blue Crows jumped down from the tree trunk, Ran Teng, the general of thousands of people, stared at the latter with some evil eyes, because the latter ordered the Blue Crows to participate in the fight without informing him, destroying the
This was a fair battle between a hundred Wei soldiers and a hundred Korean soldiers.
But Ran Teng dared not speak out. After all, the identity of the Blue Crows was quite special, and its leader Duan Pei was a confidant around King Su Zhao Hongrun. In terms of status, his status was actually no less than that of a camp general, even though he, Ran Teng, was special.
A thousand-man general, and he also received the elite title of scout, but the status of both sides was still not on the same level.
Of course Duan Pei noticed Ran Teng's gaze and said calmly: "If I hadn't given the order just now to help you, you would have suffered more than a few casualties... His Highness King Su has high hopes for you, and I don't want you to die like this.
Here.”
"You said my soldiers will lose?" Ran Teng asked with wide eyes.
"Look at the soldiers behind you." Duan Pei curled his lips and chuckled.
"..." Ran Teng looked back for a few times, and then he realized that the soldiers under his command were all out of breath from exhaustion, and it was difficult to refute.
He had just been so engrossed in fighting a Korean soldier with rich fighting skills that he didn't notice anything strange among his soldiers.
"This armor is too heavy." A Wei soldier said unconvinced.
Duan Pei curled his lips when he heard this and said disdainfully: "Hey! I could see clearly from above just now. If it weren't for this armor, you, you, you, and you, you would have died long ago!" As he said, he
He glanced at Ran Teng, the general with a displeased look on his face, and said calmly: "In the final analysis, it's still a matter of physical strength... Do you feel that after fighting a few victorious battles with His Highness Prince Su, you will be satisfied?"
Do you think the world is invincible?... Do you think that the victory of Hangu is your contribution? Hey! The battle of Hangu in Sanchuan was just that you relied on your sophisticated weapons and armor to bully the Qin people who were far inferior to you in terms of armaments.
This time when we encounter Korean swordsmen, if I, the Green Crows, had not taken action, you might have been killed by them... You are still far away!"
With that said, he turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he stopped and said calmly: "I will truthfully report the situation of your battle to His Highness King Su... I will tell His Highness King Su that you will win this battle."
The ground is so bad that even the most basic attempt
Tan Du did not think that he could sweep away the enemy. Even after the war, he did not think about how to restrain the opponent's tactics. He actually blamed the weight of the armor. Don't you know that without this armor, at least half of you would have died?
What?"
After that, he sneered and left.
Watching the green crows leave, Ran Teng and the Wei soldiers looked at each other for a few times and remained silent.
As Duan Pei said, due to having won several hearty victories in succession, the soldiers and generals of the Shang Shui Army were inevitably a little impatient and looked down upon the armies of other countries. However, the sword soldiers of the Korean Army they faced today could be said to be a force to be reckoned with.
Taught them a lesson.
Perhaps seeing Ran Teng's face sinking, a Wei soldier came over to please him and said, "Boss Ran, you just killed that Korean soldier. It seems he was a general of a hundred men."
After hearing this, Ran Teng's face turned even darker, and he stretched out his kick to stagger the opponent.
The reason is very simple, because he is a thousand-man general, and not an ordinary thousand-man general.
A tactic to restrain Korean soldiers...?
After glancing at the scratched wrist armor, Ran Teng glanced at the hundred-man general of the Korean army who was killed by him, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Perhaps it was because in the past we had encountered opponents like Chu soldiers, Sichuan soldiers, and Qin soldiers who could be crushed by their weapons and equipment, so this time when encountering well-trained enemy soldiers like Korean sword soldiers, Ran Teng actually ignored them.
One thing is clear: as a special thousand-man general, rather than going into battle to kill the enemy in person, his more important responsibility is actually to find and seize the weaknesses of the Korean soldiers, and use the strengths of his own soldiers to deal with the weaknesses of the other party.
Ah, he is a general, not a pawn!
"Come here and make a summary. The opponent we encounter this time is unusual. We have to come up with a strategy... Don't let the Green Crows look down on us."
"Hey." All the Wei soldiers gathered around.
At the same time, Duan Pei was on his way back to Tang County.
After returning to Tang County, Duan Pei immediately told Su Wang Zhao Hongrun about the encounter between the thousand-man general Ran Teng and the Korean army's hundred-man team, and also told those who had escaped from the Korean soldiers.
The captured weapons, armor, and Han crossbows were taken out and showed to Zhao Hongrun one by one.
"Are Korean swordsmen...very strong?"
"Well-trained!" Duan Pei nodded and said seriously: "Those people may not be as ferocious as the Qin people who will bite off a piece of your flesh before death even if they die, but their level of training is very good for long swords and
He is quite familiar with the use of shields. If compared with our army's sword and shield soldiers, the chances of winning may be six to four, ours is six, and the Korean soldiers are four... And one of these must be attributed to the new style created by the Smelting Bureau.
Armor.”
"In other words, the outcome between five and four?" Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly.
"Yes!" Duan Pei nodded and said sternly: "Except for a few brave soldiers who have won the honor of being scouts, the victory or defeat between our soldiers and Korean soldiers should be like this."
"..." Zhao Hongrun remained silent.
In fact, he had long heard that the Korean army was quite powerful, but at first he thought it was referring to the Korean cavalry. Unexpectedly, the Korean infantry was also so well-trained.
Compared with the Korean soldiers, Chu's regular army is not good enough. Even the fierce Qin people, after removing the ferocious and fanatical atmosphere, may not be able to compare with the Korean soldiers.
As expected of a country that occupies the entire Northern Plains...
Zhao Hongrun said secretly in his heart.
He finally understood why South Korea still had the confidence to invade his country, Wei, even when it was threatened by Qi's Julu navy.
Perhaps, South Korea's military is currently the strongest overall military among the countries in the Central Plains.
"Now we're in trouble..."
Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips and frowned deeply.
You know, he originally planned to use the individual strength of his Wei soldiers to find a breakthrough in the two hills of Yishan and Wangwushan. After all, the winding and narrow Yangchang Valley Road in front of Pilao Pass is a natural trap.
, it is better not to touch or not to touch.
What I didn't expect was that the individual capabilities of the Korean soldiers did not seem to be inferior to those of the Wei soldiers. What's more terrible is that the Korean infantry, at least the Korean soldiers deployed in Yishan and Wangwushan, seemed to be light infantry. Although they were equipped with armor defense
Their abilities are extremely poor, but they are suitable for fighting in mountainous and forested areas. On the Wei side, the infantry of King Su's army generally became heavy infantry because they wanted to improve the infantry's survival rate on the battlefield.
In mountainous and forested areas, heavy infantry may not necessarily be able to defeat light infantry reliably.
It seems that we still need to think of a strategy...
Zhao Hongrun slowly closed his eyes, and the landforms in the area of Yishan Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, and Pilaoguan appeared in his mind.
He originally wanted to be lazy, but facts proved that the Korean army was by no means a soft persimmon, and they could not be defeated simply by the difference in the quality of their soldiers.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Hongrun slowly opened his eyes and said seriously: "Wei Jiao, ordered the army to build a well-mounted chariot."
Hearing this, Wei Jiao was shocked. After all, building the Jinglan chariot meant that His Highness planned to attack Pi Lao Pass head-on.
"I wonder how many buildings your Highness wants to build?" Wei Jiao asked.
Zhao Hongrun wanted to build hundreds of them and push them across, but the problem was that the Yangchang Valley Road in front of Piluo Pass was quite narrow, and there was not enough space to put even dozens of them, let alone hundreds of them.
Zhao Hongrun closed his eyes and recalled the spacing of the spaces in the intestinal valley in front of Pi Lao Pass, and said in a deep voice: "Well...ten, no, nine...eight, eight, the base is ten feet across, and the height is about
They are higher than the walls of Pilao Pass...Two of them are larger and taller. Zhou Pu, go and supervise their construction."
Inside the tent, Zongwei Zhou Pu heard this and immediately retreated with fists in his hands.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun turned to Duan Pei and said: "Duan Pei, send someone to notify the personnel in Yishan and ask them to move back. In addition, your personnel in Wangwushan will also be withdrawn, and they will be temporarily handed over to Ran Teng and others.
People... From today on, you are responsible for vigilance. I don’t want the Korean army to know that our army is building a Jinglan chariot."
"Yes!" Duan Pei, the leader of the Green Crows, responded with clasped fists.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun turned to Zongwei Lü Mu and said: "Lü Mu, go see Wu Ji and ask him to send two more thousand-man troops to Wangwu Mountain to step up the attack on the Korean army on Wangwu Mountain. Be sure to attract
Han Jun’s attention.”
"Yes!" Lu Mu nodded in response.
After waiting for two hours, the Qingya people passed the order near Yishan. This baffled a thousand-man team of the Yanling Army who were trying to capture Yishan. After all, they had just arrived at Yishan and had not yet started.
When they launched an offensive against the Korean soldiers on Yishan Mountain, His Highness King Su asked them to retreat.
What happened?
They were very puzzled.
After learning that the Yanling Army's thousand-man team had evacuated the Yishan area, Zhao Hongrun ordered the soldiers to set fire to Yishan again.
Although the Yanling Army was a little surprised, they were also a little confused: Your Highness King Su, is this an attempt to burn the Korean soldiers stationed on Yishan Mountain?
But the question is what is the use of this?
Yishan Mountain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. After the fire burned away the vegetation on Yishan Mountain, the Korean army could still continue to station troops on the mountain.
In fact, by then the Han army would have a wider field of vision, which would be even more disadvantageous for the Wei army who was trying to capture Yishan.
But despite their doubts, the Yanling Army still fulfilled Zhao Hongrun's order and sent a thousand crossbowmen to Yishan Mountain. They fired several fire arrows at the trees on Yishan Mountain and ignited the entire mountain.
From the exclamations of the Korean soldiers on Yishan Mountain, it can be discerned that the Korean soldiers initially planned to put out the mountain fire, but as the Wei Army's crossbowmen continued to cover it with fire arrows, the Korean soldiers finally temporarily gave up guarding the top of the mountain and chose to retreat.
The news that the Wei army set fire to Yishan Mountain finally reached the ears of Jin Piao, the guard general of Pilao Pass. He immediately came to the pass city wall and climbed up to look at Yishan Mountain to the northwest.
What is that Wei Gongzi Ji Run planning to do?
Jin Yao was thoughtful.
Of course, he would not think that Zhao Hongrun just wanted to burn those Korean soldiers on Yishan Mountain. After all, the latter was not a fool. Seeing that the fire was getting more fierce, he would naturally choose to retreat temporarily.
If that Wei Gongzi Ji Run tried to use such despicable tactics to consume the strength of the Korean army, then Jin Mao could only say: don't waste your efforts.
... Could it be that the purpose of setting the fire was to force our soldiers back on Yishan Mountain so that he could take advantage of the situation?
Jin Miao frowned.
You must know that it is autumn now and the west wind prevails. Therefore, as the name suggests, the mountain fires in Yishan must be extinguished first in the west and then in the east. This gives the Wei army an opportunity to seize the top of the mountain.
