Early the next morning, while Ran Teng's soldiers were cooking pots, soldier Yang Wu asked Tong Ze who was on sentry duty.
"No...but they may come again later. Didn't they try a sneak attack last night?"
Sitting on the Wugang chariot with his back against the baffle, the Wei soldier who was on sentry duty at night was wrapped in a sheepskin blanket, with slight signs of cold on his face.
"Last night? Did this happen?"
Yang Wu was taken aback.
The Wei soldier rolled his eyes, and at this time, Le Bao, who was beside Yang Wu, said calmly: "Of course there is such a thing, but you slept like a dead pig last night. We saw that Han Qi also
If I couldn’t kill him, I simply didn’t call you.”
After hearing this, the soldiers nearby who were eating dry food to satisfy their hunger suddenly burst into laughter.
After laughing, the soldiers couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the military chariots, feeling secretly in their hearts.
I remember a few days ago, they thought this was just a cart specially used to transport food. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a weapon against the Korean cavalry.
Thanks to this kind of martial arts chariot, Ran Teng's thousand-man team was stationed on Linlu Plain for one night last night. Although they were attacked by two Korean cavalry groups of about several hundred people, these two Korean cavalry troops
, unable to shake Wugang Chariot at all, it is simply no threat.
Instead, the crossbowmen hiding behind Wugang's chariot shot and killed more than a dozen Korean cavalrymen with a sneak attack.
This made the rest of Ran Teng's army excited.
After all, yesterday afternoon, most of their thousand-man team were building strongholds. Although the Korean cavalry could not break through the barriers formed by Wugang chariots, they could not kill the opponent. The only gain was that the crossbowmen shot them to death.
There were more than a dozen cavalrymen.
Overall, this collision between the enemy and ourselves in the wilderness seemed a bit dull and boring.
Of course, this was just the view of the militant soldiers. In the eyes of Ran Teng and Gan Mao, they had vaguely seen the winning side of this war.
"His Royal Highness King Su, you are worthy of being His Highness King Su..."
Standing on a Wugang chariot, Ran Teng and Gan Mao looked into the distance.
If they had stayed on this endless plain on normal days, they would have always been worried about harassment and sneak attacks by the Korean cavalry, but now, due to the tight protection of Wugang chariots, they had no worries at all.
After all, yesterday, the two Korean cavalry circled back and forth several times around the stronghold composed of many Wugang chariots, but failed to find any openings to attack. This greatly increased Ran Teng and Gan Mao's confidence in this Wugang chariot -
—It is indeed a weapon used by His Highness King Su to deal with the Korean cavalry.
"It seems that His Highness Prince Su is planning to use the 'step by step' strategy." Gan Mao licked his slightly dry lips and said sternly: "If I guessed correctly, our army will dispatch several thousand troops today.
Team, continue to go deep into the plain ahead and rebuild
Several strongholds have further reduced the activity area of the Korean cavalry. Maybe in a month, this plain will be covered with strongholds of our army. By then, even if there are tens of thousands of Korean cavalry, they will not be able to fight in this area as before.
Roam freely on the plains.”
"yes."
Ran Teng nodded and said with emotion: "I heard from the Qingya people that this plain is nearly a hundred miles long, flat and wide. If we force the army to march, I don't know how many people will die... However, His Highness Prince Su wants to
After coming up with such a clever plan, we cooperated with Wugang chariots and worked step by step. Although it took a lot of time, the victory was that our army had almost no casualties."
"It's just that the soldiers in the army are not satisfied. They seem to be working hard to prepare for a showdown with the Korean cavalry." Gan Mao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ran Teng grinned a few times, and then he nodded and said: "There will be a chance... When our army advances to Qishui Pass with the help of His Highness King Su's clever plan, sooner or later we will join forces with the Korean cavalry.
Decide the outcome.”
Perhaps because of the Wugang chariot in hand, Ran Teng was confident when he said these words, as if he had defeated the Korean cavalry.
Suddenly, he turned to Gan Mao and said, "By the way, I intend to make you a hundred-man general, are you willing?"
"Huh?" Gan Mao was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression turned strange: "Is it appropriate? His Highness Prince Su..."
"It shouldn't be a problem." Ran Teng shrugged, then bared his teeth and said: "I suspect that His Highness Prince Su may have really forgotten you..."
Hearing this, Gan Mao couldn't laugh or cry.
In fact, he had similar speculations a while ago.
"How's it going?" Glancing at Gan Mao, Ran Teng said as if he were striking while the iron was hot: "Anyway, the Qi State is probably still in civil war and the situation is in chaos. I probably won't think of you, the general of the Donglai Army. I think, let you be here
As a soldier in our army, we are really lacking in talent... When I joined the party a while ago, a hundred-man general under my command died heroically. You can fill this man's vacancy."
Hearing this, Gan Mao couldn't help but hesitate.
From his true heart, he would of course prefer to return to the Qi State, return to the Donglai Army, follow the will of his late king Lu Xi, assist the left prime minister Ji Zhao in assisting the young master Bai to inherit the throne, and defeat the others who made rebellious moves to seek the country.
Young Master, but he has been in the Shangshui Army for a long time. To say that he has no feelings is obviously deceiving himself.
"Think about it."
Patting Gan Mao's arm, Ran Teng said seriously: "You also know that our Shangshui Army is not inferior to the Yanling Army in other aspects, except that it is slightly lacking in commanding generals. General Wu Ji... you also know
, I won’t say much more.”
Hearing Ran Teng mention Wu Ji, Gan Mao couldn't help but smile.
This is something that all Shangshui soldiers know. On the Jixian battlefield a while ago, Wu Ji, the general of their Shangshui army, rode alone in the chaos to kill Xin Zan, the general of the Korean cavalry at that time.
Many Shangshui soldiers exclaimed at the general's bravery.
However, after the war, the general was severely reprimanded by a certain King Su, and even the position of general was removed and became the temporary general.
When Gan Mao heard about this incident, he could understand the anger of His Royal Highness Prince Su: You said that Wu Ji, the great general of the Shang Navy, did not command his soldiers well, and actually did something to kill him on his own.
The enemy general's behavior makes you really think that you are invincible?!
As a result, a certain Shang Shui Army general lowered his head, did not dare to say anything, and accepted the scolding obediently.
But having said that, although it means relying on the bravery of an ordinary man, there are still many soldiers in the Shangshui Army, including Gan Mao, who admire the bravery of General Wu Ji. Maybe this general is still terrible at command, but
The deed of riding alone to kill an enemy general made many soldiers feel excited.
Even Gan Mao was excited by it at the time. After all, on the battlefields of the Central Plains, there were very few astonishing deeds of killing an enemy general on his own.
It's no wonder, after all, on the battlefields of the Central Plains, weapons such as bows and crossbows are becoming more and more powerful. No matter how brave the general is, he can't withstand the volleys of such bows and crossbows. He doesn't want to think about the war in the Central Plains more than a hundred years ago.
"...Currently, only General Zhai Huang can take charge of our Shang Shui Army, but I think that your talents are enough to command an army. As the former Qi State Donglai Army."
After leaving these words, Ran Teng turned and left, leaving Gan Mao standing alone and thinking.
To be fair, Gan Mao did not believe that His Highness King Su still hated him. He was more inclined to Ran Teng's judgment - most likely His Highness had forgotten him. So, did he return to the Donglai Army of Qi State?
Or should he stay in the Shangshui Army?
Gan Mao wavered between left and right. After all, he had feelings for both the Donglai Army and the Shangshui Army.
"call……"
After thinking for a long time, he took a long breath.
During this period, he inadvertently glanced to the southeast and vaguely saw an army in the distance. Judging from the flag, it should be their Shangshui Army.
He squinted his eyes and stared, and after a while he came to the conclusion: that army was indeed their Shang Shui Army, and it was also a friendly army responsible for the same responsibilities as their Ran Teng Thousand Soldiers.
"Let's wait until this battle is over..."
Gan Mao said to himself secretly.
Just as Gan Mao guessed, the army in the distance was indeed the Shang Shui Army, and it was also a friendly army that shouldered the same mission as Ran Teng's Thousand Men Army.
However, when this army was preparing to garrison, a Korean cavalry suddenly galloped over from the northeast.
To Gan Mao's surprise, the friendly army had no intention of evading, and actually pushed the Wugang cart and rushed towards the Korean cavalry, forcing the Korean cavalry to make a roundabout way.
This radical approach allowed Gan Mao to immediately guess the identity of the friendly army - Xiang Li's Thousand-Man Team.
As Xiang Li, who was no less powerful than Ran Teng in the Shang Shui army, this thousand-man general's combat method was more radical than the former.
Nearly half a month later, as Dangyin Hou Han Yang had guessed, King Su's army indeed began to advance towards the Linlu Plain, which was more than a hundred miles away. However, the way King Su's army marched was very different from the usual way. They used martial arts chariots to clear the way.
Wugang carts were used to carry bricks, cement and other materials needed to build defensive strongholds, and Wugang carts were used to block the sneak attacks and harassment of the Korean cavalry, so that the Korean cavalry was completely at a disadvantage.
Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, couldn't believe this. It was clearly in a plain area where cavalry was extremely advantageous, but the Wei army on the opposite side was advancing forward without any scruples.
Waiting until the end of February, when Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, reacted, he saw that the Linlu Plain was full of defensive strongholds of the Wei army. Moreover, these defensive strongholds were connected to each other by solid low walls as high as one person, severely compressing South Korea.
Cavalry activity area.
After learning about this, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, was greatly frightened and immediately sent cavalry to destroy the low walls.
Unexpectedly, those low walls seemed to be made of masonry and mud, but they were extremely strong, making it particularly difficult to destroy them.
What frightened Dangyin Hou Han Yang even more was that every defensive stronghold of the Wei army on the Linlu Plain was a beacon tower. The Wei soldiers stationed at these strongholds would light beacon fires when they saw the Korean cavalry, so that the Koreans
The movements of the cavalry were exposed under the eyes of the Wei army.
In this situation, the Korean cavalry was helpless - this was the first time they were helpless against a group of infantry.
Waiting until the ninth day of March, the Wei soldiers relied on step-by-step tactics to push the defense line step by step to the Qishui River. At the intersection of Qishui and the river, a temporary river port was built again.
This time, Dangyin Hou Han Yang felt extremely frightened because he finally realized the Wei army's tactics.
However, it was too late at this time, because the Korean army could not break through the layers of defense lines of the Wei army, and there was no way to harass the Wei army to build a river port at the intersection of Qishui and the river.
Although it took nearly a month, the Wei army successfully occupied the Linlu Plain with minimal casualties.
When this incident spread, the Korean troops in Linlu, Qiguan, Dangyin, Moyi and other places were shocked. They never expected that the Wei army occupied the Linlu Plain without any damage and pushed the front to Qishui.
