Strictly speaking, Zhao Kang's advancement strategy is to continuously reduce the enemy's scope of activity and force the enemy to fight with him. In the mountains and forests, the most important resources, including salt, water, food, etc., Zhao Kang is to send out
Soldiers came to occupy these areas, leaving the enemy with no supplies and no way to survive. He even wanted to intercept several important water sources to limit his enemies.
If Zhao Kuo were here and saw what Zhao Kang did, he might feel very familiar... Zhao Kang was approaching step by step, and the counties and counties behind continued to send civilians to build infrastructure. Zhao Kang was like this with the enemy.
During the confrontation, roads appeared in the previously occupied areas. Civilians from the Chu region built roads here so that food could be delivered to the Northern Army in a timely manner.
The harassment of the Yue people did not have a big impact on the Northern Army. Zhao Kang had no intention of attacking them at all. He only forced the opponent by occupying resource areas. This put the Yue people into a passive situation. At the same time, a large number of local outbreaks occurred.
During the war, Yi Xusong led the elite Yue soldiers and launched several large-scale harassment tactics against civilians and destroyed the newly built road stations. However, such a move was still very risky.
If encountering an ambush by the Northern Army, the casualties would be very heavy. There were also different voices among the Yue people. Some people hoped to withdraw from here and escape towards the southwest... They were very scared and would rather abandon their homeland.
Don't continue fighting against the Northern Army. However, Yi Xusong disagreed with this statement. If we left here, many areas in the southwest would not be able to support so many Vietnamese people.
The environment there was even more wild than today's Baiyue Land, and humans couldn't survive there at all. This was the reason why ancient civilizations were not born there. There were them on both sides, except for themselves, and they were not even affected. The main reason was that
This place is too wild and unsuitable for living... It's not unsuitable, it's uninhabitable. The virgin rainforest here can swallow everyone who comes.
If you want to live, you can only drive out these invaders who attack your hometown, but this is not easy. In order to adapt to mountain warfare, Zhao Kang has come up with many strategies to deal with these hard-to-find Yue people. Zhao Kang has never
He is a commander who is good at learning. He has learned a lot from the Yue people's mountain warfare. First of all, the Yue people fighting is not a rash attack. You must investigate the surrounding terrain beforehand, and then occupy the high ground.
Then start fighting. Secondly, because the mountains are inconvenient for transportation, most of their soldiers carry their own supplies.
In addition, their soldiers also carried ropes, iron prongs and other items. They would quickly escape or enter the battlefield through rock climbing and other methods. At the same time, they would use livestock skins to tie their legs and hands to facilitate climbing and mountaineering.
Walking... Zhao Kang thought for a while and drew out from his army six thousand soldiers from the south who were strong and able to adapt to the local climate.
Immediately, he began to organize the army according to the requirements of the mountains, changed their training content, and began to teach them rock climbing, mountain marching, stationing, self-rescue, weather resistance and other tactics... Zhao Kang wanted to organize an army.
He created an army capable of fighting the Yue people in the mountains. Under his influence, Wang Ben and Tu Sui from both sides organized three thousand mountain combat soldiers each and began training.
During this period, the war between the Yue people and the Qin people never stopped. The two sides continued to fight in the mountains and forests. Zhao Kang was sitting in his tent. He actually picked up a pen and paper and started writing.
, his handwriting is very ugly, and there is no way to quote scriptures... He wrote: "In order to adapt to different terrains and different environments, the army must be subdivided into more detailed combat armies... through various soldiers
Combinations to build an army that can adapt to different regions..."
Zhao Kang's concept includes grassland troops, snow troops, and mountain troops divided according to different terrains, field operations, security, transportation, etc. divided according to different responsibilities, and a multi-faceted coordinated army built for greater coordination.
..While Zhao Kang was busy with his thoughts, the war had lasted for more than half a year. The Qin State was still advancing slowly, and the Yue people continued to retreat. Many tribes were forced to migrate, and the rest were also conquered by the Qin State.
occupied by the country.
During the advancement, Wang Ben made the greatest contribution. He captured nearly 60,000 Yue people and wiped out several large tribes. The scope of the advancement was the largest. Although Zhao Kang pushed back Dongyue, he captured many prisoners.
Not many. As for Tu Sui, he acted decisively. In order to end the war early and prevent the Northern Army from suffering greater casualties, he killed nearly 60,000 to 70,000 Vietnamese when he attacked South Vietnam and other tribes.
We once said that the population of Baiyue is about 500,000. So far, Baiyue has lost two-fifths of its population... Tu Sui was not cruel, but his soldiers were killed here due to disease and climate.
The unprovoked death made him unwilling to let the soldiers stay here. He wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so he adopted the most direct method of killing. Therefore, he advanced the fastest and occupied a small area.
But it is already the army that penetrates the deepest into enemy territory.
After General Tu Sui destroyed South Vietnam and approached the border of Xiou, Yi Xusong, as the leader, could no longer bear it. He hurriedly summoned his ministers and began to discuss the war. Zhao Kang was still far away from him.
, but Tu Sui was already in front of him, and he could not make any further moves to sabotage the rear area. The enemy was already in front of them, leaving them with no way out.
"General, the current solution is to abandon this place. We have less than 50,000 soldiers... Tu Sui's army is countless. We are no match for them. We have to leave here temporarily and then make plans.
", some ministers suggested that when the Northern Army went out, they would be followed by civilians responsible for transportation and road construction. Of course, these people were also counted as Qin soldiers by the Yue people. The Northern Army that massacred Sui was less than 30,000 people, but with the addition of
Those civilians responsible for logistics can reach 60,000 to 70,000.
What's more, Zhao Kang can also send support at any time. The Yue people have almost no way to deal with Tu Sui.
Before the translator Song could speak, Jie Jun couldn't help but said: "The mountains here are rugged. If the enemy wants to attack, they must abandon their horses and chariots and fight on foot. If we abandon this place, we will wait until they
After they come in, they will definitely find a way to get the horses from other mountain roads, and then use them to chase us. Why should we give up the most advantageous terrain to fight them on the flat ground?"
Translator Song nodded thoughtfully. His brother was right. When the war situation reached this point, we really could only fight the enemy head-on, and we could never retreat. He thought for a long time and asked the ministers to
He stopped talking, stood up, and said seriously: "We can't retreat anymore! Jie Jun! You take the old and young of the tribe and leave here. You have to take them to a safe place and let them hide. If I win,
, you can bring them back, if I lose, you can continue going south..."
"Brother?", Jie Jun's eyes widened, and he said: "You are not as good as me in fighting these things, why don't you let me fight, and you lead them to retreat? You are no match for the Qin people..."
Yi Xusong frowned, stared at him, and said seriously: "This time I am going to fight with warriors from various tribes. If we can't work together as one, we will be defeated even more completely. You have the prestige to lead the army."
Tribes?”
"Then let me follow you and let me help you!"
"No, I can't put all my hopes on a war... You have to take the rest of the people out of here... If I die in the battle, I don't want anyone to bury me...
." The translator called Song to be extra determined this time, and he immediately made arrangements. The older soldiers among the generals were separated separately, and his younger brother was asked to take the rest of the young people and separate from the tribesmen.
Jie Jun was particularly dissatisfied with his brother's arrangements, but could not disobey his orders. He quickly left here with the tribesmen, but he thought that after arranging them, he would bring the rest of the army back for reinforcements. Yi Xusong, on the other hand, took San
An army of ten thousand people went directly to the dangerous road into Xiou, waiting for the enemy's path. The road here was very dangerous, and some places could only accommodate two people. If they were stationed here, the attacker would have a headache.
General Tu Sui advanced slowly, and at the same time he sent his own mountain troops to explore the surrounding terrain. The young man in charge of the investigation was called Ren Xiao. He was a mature and steady general whose age could not be seen from his appearance. He was calm and calm.
Silent and few words, he could fulfill Tu Sui's orders very well, so he won Tu Sui's trust. When Ren Xiao was exploring the front, he encountered the army of Yi Xu Song. The two sides fought for a while, and Ren Xiao retreated.
His mission was not to defeat the enemy in front of him, but to find out their intelligence. When he brought the enemy's deployment back, Tu Sui stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and thought seriously. If he attacked by force, what would he do?
Afraid of paying too high a price, he thought again and again and called his most trusted lieutenants in front of him. The general already had a strategy in mind to defeat the enemy.
"The enemies this time are different from before. They are numerous and occupy the most important mountain passes. If we attack by force, we will have to pay a huge price. For these people, I can't even bear the death or injury of a Northern Army soldier."
..." Tu Sui narrowed his eyes. He was a pure general. Like Zhao Kuo, he loved his soldiers. However, he would do anything to protect his soldiers, which Zhao Kuo could not do.
General Tu Sui came all the way to end the war as soon as possible and protect his soldiers. Therefore, he secretly disobeyed military orders and killed all the Yue people with strong resistance, regardless of whether they had the ability to resist.
He wanted to minimize the casualty rate of the war. After discovering that the enemy was guarding important roads, he looked at several of his subordinates, and his eyes finally fell on Ren Xiao.
"Xiao... you bring your elite..." Tu Sui quickly stated his arrangement, and then he stationed the army here and did not continue to move forward. And at Yi Xu Song, he also learned that
When the enemy arrived, he personally led his soldiers to strengthen the garrison at several mountain passes. The mountains and forests here were surrounded by cliffs, dozens of feet high. The mountain roads were dangerous and narrow, with only one person allowed. The Yue people were condescending, and the Qin people were helpless.
This was the best defensive location he had thought of. When night came, Ren Xiao began to lead his mountain elites to act according to General Tu Sui's arrangements. They selected dozens of the most elite soldiers and used them to
They used ropes and iron prongs to dig out the mountain as a road, climbed up the mountain at night, and then used cloth bags to pull up the elite soldiers from the bottom of the mountain. This continued for a long time, and hundreds of soldiers went up the mountain. Ren Xiao asked them to hide in various places.
, don’t act rashly.
The next day, just after dawn, General Tu Sui directly launched an attack. When the two sides were about to encounter each other, Ren Xiao asked his hidden soldiers to beat drums and blow horns everywhere, pretending to be attacking. The Yue people were shocked and Ren Xiao
Xiao Xiao suddenly came out. The intimidated Yue people gave up guarding the mountain road and wanted to escape because of fear of the Qin army. General Tu Sui did not miss this good opportunity at all and personally led his soldiers to attack.
Horses cannot be ridden here, nor can chariots. General Tu Sui could only charge on foot. The general was a brave man. After killing more than a dozen Yue people in a row, the Yue people finally gave up all their strongholds, and the two sides fell into a melee.
Song didn't expect that the Qin people would appear behind him. He had no battlefield experience. Suddenly encountered such a situation, all he could do was to let the soldiers retreat, while he brought his trusted followers to delay Tu Sui.
Charge speed.
The two sides fought in a melee, and the sound of killing in the mountains and forests was loud, and the birds started to fly. Yi Xusong held a sharp sword and killed several soldiers who wanted to take him for rewards, and his warriors also gathered around him to protect him.
His safety, when Tu Sui discovered those people gathered together, he knew in his heart that it was the leader of the Yue people, so Tu Sui rushed directly to kill them. Tu Sui seemed reckless, but in fact, he was careful and careful.
In order to prevent the enemy leader from escaping here, he specially arranged for Ren Xiao not to participate in the battlefield and to go to other mountain passes to intercept him.
The Qin people and the Yue people fought together. Although the Yue people were familiar with the environment here, the Qin people's fighting power was too strong. They were no match for them. The Yue people fell one by one. Under the fierce attack of the Qin people, all they could do was
They fled and wanted to take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to escape. Unfortunately, several important passages on the mountain road had been occupied by Ren Xiao in advance. Under such circumstances, they were forced to turn back and fight.
Yi Xusong saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and there was no way to retreat. At that moment, he took a deep breath, stared at Tu Sui in the distance, and rushed towards the enemy angrily.
The war ended quickly. The Qin army suffered many casualties. Most of them fell from the mountain or occurred during the charge. As for the Yue people, they all fell to the ground, with almost no one alive.
...Yu Song was lying in a pool of blood, panting. Tu Sui walked up to him, lowered his head, and asked disdainfully: "Can you speak human language?"
Yi Xusong's face turned red, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of the humiliation or the injuries on his body.
He stared at Tu Sui in front of him with a ferocious expression. He did not answer Tu Sui's question, but gritted his teeth and spoke a sentence in Vietnamese.
No one knew what he actually said. After he finished speaking, Tu Sui chopped off his head.
