Spring and Autumn I Am King

In the middle of October, it was already winter in the State of Lu. (Baidu search gives the fastest and most stable update of the literature network) It is night, no rain and no wind, the sky is dark, only a few thin clouds, the moonlight shines through them, like covering the dark earth with a layer of white gauze.

This place is mostly flat, close to Onozawa, and occasionally there are several small hills interspersed in it, which is not conducive to defense, but is conducive to offense.

In the moonlight, there were countless dark shadows leaning against the ground, bending over and walking out. Instead, it emerged from the hills on the side, among the sparse trees, and from the cold and soft grass, like a water ghost emerging from the darkness. Hundreds of people carried swords, spears and other fighting weapons, as well as flint and other ignition tools, and held dead branches in their mouths.

These people are the elite soldiers under the robbers. There are many difficulties in attacking at night. It is easy to get separated when marching in the dark. In a total of six or seven thousand thieves, only the soldiers of the thief Zhi can do this.

Taking advantage of the darkness, they rushed straight to the military army barracks several miles away, where there were many tents made of leather and cloth, and hundreds of white mushrooms seemed to grow in this field under the moonlight.

"The general said that if the precautions are not very strict, you can set fire to it. With the signal, the general will bring everyone to cover up and kill them in one fell swoop!"

I think of the ten years of fighting experience in the robbery Zhi, from the time when the military soldiers drove to Lucheng until the battle of the Central Capital, they traveled continuously for more than ten days, and experienced several fierce battles, so they must be extremely tired. Now there are too many temporary levies and miscellaneous soldiers from other towns mixed in. The fort should be very loose.

This is the normal state of camping in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although Sima Fa and other military books specifically describe the essential methods of camping, it is not so easy to implement. otherwise. Back then, Hua Yuan wouldn't have run into the Chu army camp so easily, and stood directly on the side of Sima Zi.

However, after getting closer, the leading bandit "Brigade Commander" was stunned, because the camp in front of him could no longer be called a camp, but a wooden city wall!

The camp of the military soldiers was extremely stable. The entire camp with irregular lines was surrounded by wooden stakes as high as one person, and where there were gaps, there were chariots as walls. To prevent possible enemy raids. Towering watchtowers are set up at several angular protruding parts, and the tents and fences are also about dozens of steps apart. Leave a space for assembly, which is filled with tents.

From a distance, sentries with torches patrolled the inside and outside of the camp from time to time, making the bandits unavoidable. He quickly lowered his body.

"The camp is so close, I can't find an opportunity to steal the camp..."

The brigade commander who came to spy on the night raid was stunned for a while, and he could only call everyone to evacuate. Unexpectedly, when he left, he happened to bump into another military soldier who was patrolling.

"Whoosh!" In the dark night, a sharp short spear was lucky, or the spear thrower had amazing skills, but he hit a single strike at a distance of twenty or thirty steps, and knocked a young robber to the ground and set it on fire. The beginning of the night battle!

The other party seems to have already discovered them. In the darkness of the night, countless people armed with small shields and short spears shouted to cover and kill, and immediately fought together after contact.

The pirates wanted to attack at night. But he was caught off guard, resisting and retreating, only to find that there were not many people on the other side after fighting for a while.

"The other party is less than 100, surround them and defeat them before evacuating!"

However, what the "Brigade Commander" can't figure out is that this kind of night battle has no formation and no rules. It stands to reason that they are good at thieves, but who knows that the other party seems to be more proficient in this way.

Regardless of fighting skills. Still desperately ruthless, pirates are far inferior!

At the same time, not far away, the entire camp had been disturbed, but the chaos expected by the robbers did not break out. The soldiers were greeted by the military officials and got out of the camp in an orderly manner, and lined up to defend the enemy.

"Can't fight anymore, withdraw, spread out and leave!"

The result of this late-night chaotic battle was naturally that the thieves who stole the rice were completely defeated. When I returned to the place where the 4,000 pirates and pirates were ambushed a few miles away, I counted the number and found that there were a full 200 fewer people.

How did he know that Tian Benhan, who was just participating in regular military training and was trained by Zhao Wuxi's special forces on the spot, would be a match for group fights and chaotic warfare?

...

"I underestimated Zhao Wuxi, he is worthy of being a good soldier, Sima Fayun, he camped in the mountains, forests and wilderness areas, using wood to form a fence called Huluochaiying, although the march was tiring, but there were rules and regulations. As expected, it is indeed a strong army capable of defeating the people of Linqiu Qi... He has done a great job of guarding against it, and we have no chance at all!"

Robber Zhi, who was standing on the hill overlooking the distance, sighed regretfully after hearing the result.

According to Dao Zhi’s prediction, Yang Hu and San Huan will most likely suffer both in the civil strife in Lu. The fire will not end in half a month, and it will even be chaotic until next year. Take advantage of this time to be bold and **** the surrounding cities and towns. is the right way.

However, Zhao Wuxi, the son of Jin Qing, his actions in Song and Cao, his adventures in Zhencheng and Linqiu, and some actions after entering Lu, all made Roof Zhi a little concerned.

He attacked Yuncheng in order to defeat the east and cut off the way for Zhao Wuxi's forces to advance eastward. When he hit the city, he blocked the road to the north. By the way, he let Zhu Lou, who was dissatisfied with him, go to the top of the tank and take advantage of him. And his real goal has always been Kan City, which has temples and mausoleums of the nine ancestors of Lu, which is tantamount to a huge treasure trove!

I thought that the plan was foolproof, but unexpectedly, the military soldiers broke into the chaos in the city of Lu, but the accident caused the abacus to fail. It had only been a few days since the siege of the city, and the tunnel into the city had only been dug halfway, so Zhao Wuxi defeated the Zhongdu group of thieves and looked at him maliciously from a few dozen miles to the north.

Being stared at by such an opponent, Robber Zhi suddenly felt like a light on his back,

When Zhao Wuxi was in the Central Capital, he was closely watching the movements of Robber Zhi in Kan City. Robber Zhi was also watching his actions all the time. He responded quickly, and even had the idea of ​​sending troops north and attacking Zhao Wuxi by surprise.

After waiting for a day on the only road with 4,000 people, Rouge Zhi felt that something was wrong. Zhao Wuxi did not rush south, but let his soldiers rest and wait for reinforcements. Gathered a group of people to start.

Afterwards, he walked cautiously along the painted road, and sent out the sentry 20 to 30 miles away. Those knights were extremely sensitive, and hundreds of soldiers in armor followed closely.

It is quite satisfactory, but there is no way to speak. This is the most uncomfortable style of play for Roof Zhi. His plan to ambush the Soldiers on the Road was once again unsuccessful. I wanted to take the risk of leading an army to attack at night. Unexpectedly, it was like biting a turtle covered in carapace, not only did not eat meat. Also knocked out a mouthful of teeth.

But he still has backhands. If Zhao Wuxi's entire army is chasing him overnight, then Robber Zhi may be able to counterattack with his familiarity with the road terrain and break up the opponent. Break each!

However, looking at the stance that the enemy was going out of the camp in an orderly manner, but the main force was unwilling to go too far, Robber Zhi could only grit his teeth angrily, and ordered the bandits to evacuate quickly and cancel this failed night attack.

Who said that Zhao Wuxi was reckless in battle and liked to take risks! ?

"General, do we want to speed up and walk?"

"No, just follow the normal footsteps. Many of us can't see things clearly at night, so we can only walk on a rope. If the front army is moving too fast, I don't know how much the rear army will be separated by dawn."

"But there's a fire dragon chasing it over there..."

Thief Zhi was overjoyed and looked back, only to find that it was just a small force, moving very fast, probably light knights, really rich and powerful. Not afraid of damaging a good horse at night.

He was greatly disappointed: "This is Zhao Wuxi's strategy. I thought he was a person who likes to take risks and enterprising. After this time, I realized that he is a person who makes good use of the situation and likes the combination of the right and the strange! Let the army be careful. Can."

So far, Robber Zhi can see that Zhao Wuxi, like him, is an opportunist who can't afford to get too early! There was no sympathy in his heart, only a sense of irritability and powerlessness.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, he has lost the first battle today.

...

Zhao Wuxi's tent was indeed very tightly bound. This was a skill he learned from You Wuzheng and Yang Tongrong, and Ran Qiu was also good at it, so he created this fence and barrier that made the thief's teeth hurt.

The place where the soldiers camped was thirty miles from Kancheng to the south, and twenty miles from Daye Zeshuibo to the west. The lake was soaked all the year round. It was softer than the land near Zhongdu when you stepped on it. Ran Qiu also sent people to level it. Hardened to make it easier to assemble troops in case of attack.

The neatly arranged kudzu tents can accommodate five people, that is, one tent is one tent, and the two tents are adjacent to each other and take care of each other. Then there are ten tents with a hundred people as a self-contained small camp. There are small ditches dug between the tents as firebreaks, all of which are wrapped into an oval formation to protect Zhao Wuxi's large tent in the middle.

The lights inside the tent were brightly lit. After hearing the report of Tian Benhan, who had fought against the bandits at night, killed and wounded more than a hundred enemies, and Yu Xi, who had followed and snooped with cavalry and cut off dozens of left ears, Zhao Wuxi also agreed with him. Like a robber, full of regrets.

"If all the soldiers in a division are soldiers, I would like to lay a trap, and the thieves will go deep and ambush them completely. But there are more than a thousand soldiers in the camp. The bombing of the camp, so we can only take precautions."

These people can build momentum and protect their luggage, but they can also hold them back.

Therefore, this matter cannot be risked, only stability can be sought. Zhao Wuxi and Ran Qiu discussed that the way to prevent the enemy from attacking at night is to "take precautions as strong, and idleness as defeat", set up strict vigilance, send sentries in front of the positions, prescribe passwords and codes in advance, and be ready for battle at any time. .

The enemy came to attack, and when they saw that there was no chance to take advantage of the security, they would withdraw. At this time, the enemy is "extremely exhausted", which is an excellent time for defensive counterattacks. Therefore, elite troops can be sent to "attack them accordingly".

When chasing the enemy, you should exercise caution to avoid being caught in an ambush by the enemy. In such a situation, the troops should be divided into three parts, followed by the enemy. Before reaching the enemy's ambush area, the three parts attack at the same time, and the enemy can be defeated.

Theoretically, this is the case, but the problem is that this is a night when the road cannot be clearly seen. Although Zhao Wuxi sent a horse to check the terrain in advance, how can he compare with the group of thieves who have lived in this area for half his life? How can I know that there is no second ambush for Robber Zhi?

Too much greed is worth the loss. What's more, his strategic goal this time is not to annihilate the robbers, but to relieve the siege. All wars are carried out around political goals...

At this moment, looking at the east where the fish belly is gradually showing white, Zhao Wuxi thought to himself: "I heard that Liu Xiazhi is a smart person, but I hope he can see this clearly, we are not enemies, Lu Guo seems to have broken limbs. Elk is a feast for crows, and he and I are just birds with each other's interests~www.wuxiahere.com~ Why bother?"

Zhao Wuxi's idea was considered from a strategic perspective, and speaking out would even make morale slack, so it was not spread to the military officers. At this stage, they only need to consider tactical issues, so Tian Ben, Yu Xi and others feel that the contact tonight is just a small test, and the real battle will start tomorrow!

At least, among the middle-level military officials of Wuzu, inspired by a series of victories, there has already been a kind of "happiness when you hear the battle".

However, their smugness was poured cold water on the face of Robber Zhi's actions the next day. (To be continued)
