Quy Nhon Pu, this is the decisive battle battlefield set by Di Qing for Nong Zhigao.
Passing Kunlun Pass from Pennsylvania, and then twenty or thirty miles to the southwest, you will emerge from the mountains and forests, and in front of you will be an open land shaped like a trumpet.
On the pipeline leading to Yongzhou, there is a delivery shop called Qui Nhon Pu. This large open space is called Qu Nhon Pu.
If we go further to Pennsylvania, I guess unless Nong Zhigao is a fool, he will not fight here... Tens of thousands of people will be crammed in, and the edge will be close to the mountains and forests.
Master Wang arrived at the preset battlefield in advance, ambushed his subordinates on both sides, and when the battle reached a stalemate, he suddenly came out... No need to think about it, the victory or defeat was decided immediately.
This was not the first time Zhao Xi had seen such a formation, but with the same number of more than 20,000 people, the Western Army and the Jingxi Road Forbidden Army gave him a completely different feeling.
The layout of the camps is exactly the same, but the atmosphere reflected is very different. Stepping into the camp of the Western Army, you can feel the desolation and fighting spirit. However, the original Jingxi Road Forbidden Army gave Zhao Xi
It feels like camping...yes, it's the kind of organized sightseeing tour.
The military is a place where there is no room for relaxation. The country has been at peace for decades, and the imperial troops around the capital have forgotten their identities.
Zhao Xi wanted to have an in-depth exchange with the court ministers. What was the basis for them to set a national policy of not talking about military affairs for twenty years?
The country does not have the advantage of natural danger, nor does it have a core force that can deter surrounding countries. It is just a border defense line like a sieve. Shouldn't armaments be the top priority of the country?
I'm afraid of being beaten! This is probably the only reason!
The civil and military officials accompanying the crusade against the Nong bandits were casually browsing the camp. Zhao Xi's face remained tense.
"Your Highness, why are you worried?"
Yu Jing is in a good mood today. After taking Kunlun Pass in such a simple way, he will regain Yongzhou, annihilate the Nong bandits, and restore stability to Guangnan.
Therefore, seeing Zhao Xi's worried expression, he asked with intention.
"Bachelor, Commander Di, ladies and gentlemen, Xi has something unclear. May I ask, why are we fighting? Why are we calling off the war?"
This problem is definitely not about the Guochao. Since the beginning of the dynasty, most of the Guochao have been passive. Whether it was with Liao or Daxia, they had to resist because people were peeing on their heads.
Just like the current thief.
This question is too broad, and it is not something that scholars worry about. They usually talk about who has published new articles in their free time.
Therefore, after Zhao Xi proposed it, there was a moment of silence.
"Your Highness, Nong Zhigao's connotation was heard by Jing when he took office in Guangnan. Successive officials in Yongzhou and the imperial court have concluded this."
"Temo Road and Guangyuan Prefecture are all deep mountains and dense forests, with no output. The so-called attachments are meant to ask for rewards from the state."
Zhao Xi looked at Yu Jing blankly, confused by Yu Jing's answer. He wanted to see clearly, was the old man Yu pretending to be confused or did he really understand it this way?
Zhao Xi's original intention was to introduce the topic, talk about the relationship between war and politics, and use some arguments from later generations to explain the necessity of armaments on a small scale.
As a result, if you want to talk about the main building, others will bully you. There is always a hint of red, but the problem is that it is not relevant at all.
Look at all the civil servants from Sun Mian on down, who are nodding in praise, and then look at the twitching faces of Di Qing and others... That's it! It's useless to talk more, let's go and see.
"What the maester said is absolutely true!"
Zhao Xi didn't talk nonsense, just a few simple words to express his dissatisfaction.
Whether the civil servants want to see it or not, the battle is coming.
In less than two days, there was a report. The bandits had sent troops from Yongzhou, with a hundred thousand soldiers, stretching for dozens of miles...
These uniquely romantic words were used in military reports, but the entire command did not confuse them, and they arranged their troops according to such reports.
That's true, no matter how many thieves there are, there are only about 35,000 on our side. The Western Army is 20,000, and the Guangnan recruits are 15,000... No one really uses the escort battalion as a combat unit, even if
The night attack on Kunlun has already shown extraordinary performance, but it still cannot enter the battle sequence.
This is a battlefield. It is true that there is a shortage of troops, but the safety of His Royal Highness is particularly important.
They were not absolutely sure of victory, so they did not dare to use His Royal Highness's bodyguards.
Zhao Xi is not sure of absolute victory, or he has no impression of large army operations in this era.
There are too many uncertainties in all records about the war. It seems that fighting with cold weapons is too random.
For example, in the Tan Yuan Alliance, the already defeated King Master actually gained nearly a hundred years of border peace just because he casually fired the Eight Bull Crossbow.
For example, in Haoshuichuan, the Western Army resisted the enemy at Zhangyi Fort and made a lot of gains. However, when they advanced rashly due to greed for merit, they opened several silver boxes, resulting in a complete defeat.
The Nong soldiers arrived in great force. Standing on the high platform at the end of the military camp, Zhao Xi could see dense crowds of people surging towards this side.
As for Wang Division, after Di Qing waved the command flag again and again, the well-organized combat formations continued to enter the predetermined position.
On the verge of breaking out!
When I saw two groups of people, one red and one black, approaching, the whole Quy Nhon Pa was boiling.
His ears were instantly filled with all kinds of shouts, and all he saw in his eyes was scenes of blood splattering everywhere.
Guangnan is mountainous, so the Nong soldiers did not have cavalry, and the initial contact was a melee with infantry.
When Zhao Xi saw this kind of pure close-range fighting, he was fascinated and really wanted to participate in it...just think about it.
Looking around again... Zhao Xi wanted to find someone who felt the same way, but what he saw most was a pale face.
The little girl Zhao Qinglan had tears on her face and kept shouting: You should hide! Cut him...cut him!
The battle was intense from the beginning. Zhang Yu, the forward, had already penetrated deeply, while Jia Kui and Sun Jie, who were on the left and right, tried to join Zhang Yu again and again, but were blocked time and time again.
The entire Western Army was split into three parts by the densely packed Nong soldiers, and each part seemed to be surrounded and beaten... There were too many Nong soldiers, at least three times as many as the Western Army.
Zhao Xi clenched his fists very tightly. He could understand the situation of the battle, and the situation was not optimistic.
I always thought that the Nong soldiers were a mob, and I always thought that the Nong thieves would be defeated in one blow, but now it seems that is not the case.
Let’s not talk about Zhang Yu who was trapped in a tight siege, but let’s look at the Nong soldiers fighting against the left-wing Sun Jie... From Zhao Xi’s point of view, this is by no means a military quality that ordinary mountain people may have.
If it hadn't been for Nong Zhigao's long-term planning, these so-called mountain people would definitely have a hidden agenda to achieve the combat capabilities they have today.
The battle situation has entered an anxious state from the initial charge. In the area where the two sides come into contact, a melee has formed. Although it is not as sharp as a canine and a dog's teeth, it is no longer clearly defined.
Zhao Xi knows that Di Qing has other plans. He and his deputy Yang Wenguang are not participating in the war now... But Lao Di, isn't the time yet?
