Spring and Autumn I Am King

Zhao Yi is the son of Zhao Yang's younger brother Zhao Chao, and is currently a doctor in Mashou County.

Although the name sounds gentle and elegant, Zhao Yi is actually a good warrior. Compared with Handan's rebelliousness, the Ma Shou family is very obedient to the Zhao clan. This may be because Ma Shouyi was already under the eyes of Jinyang, and there was not much independent space. At the same time, it faced the threat of Rong and Di, which was in line with the interests of the sect.

When Zhao Yang went south to Wen County, Zhao Yi accompanied him with 2,000 horses and soldiers. He also attended Zhao Wuxi's wedding. After Handan betrayed Zhao, he immediately stood up and condemned.

"Jinyang, Gan Ye, Handan, Wen, Ma Shou, branches and leaves, branches and leaves that leave the trunk, they will wither and die, so the branches must follow the trunk, how can we put the cart before the horse? It doesn't take much time, Handan will die!"

Although Zhao Yi looks carefree, he is actually a sensible person: Handan betrayed Zhao, and as a result, Handan Ji died in Muye, which was a shock and wake-up call to the rest of the small sects. After the war, the Zhao clan's big sect's management of the small sects may change again. Tighten up a bit, it's not a good day. However, Zhao Yang and his son were not stingy with the obedient Xiaozong, and the Wenxian clan in the south had the opportunity to develop in the area occupied by the Wei Kingdom.

Therefore, Zhao Yi also wanted to make a contribution in the war, so that Zhao Yang and Zhao Wuxi, who was almost certain to become the next generation of the head of the family, saw their loyalty and performance.

Because according to his observation, the Zhao clan still has the upper hand in this war. Seeing that the Han clan has also joined in, victory may not be far away!

Zhao Yi was responsible for mobilizing Fan's soldiers as a suspected soldier in the Battle of Qinshui, but he was particularly dissatisfied. Seeing that the Zhao family has won several battles in a row, and began to push the northern part of Hanoi, confronting Fan and Bank of China between Fan and Gong, he did not have any outstanding achievements, and he was a little anxious.

On this day, the generals gathered in Zhao Yang's tent to discuss the war, and a scout came to report, saying that the Zhongxing clan had sent a division to challenge in the wilderness between the common people.

The combined forces of Zhao and Han were nearly 20,000 people, and the coalition forces of Fan and Bank of China were more than 20,000 people. The camps stretched for several miles, and it took half a day to arrange and assemble.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, this kind of big battle was considered to be at the level of destroying a country. In the early years, the battle of Jinchu City and Pu was only on this scale. so many people. Although it was a so-called "dignified battle", if you think that the two sides just made an appointment for the battle time and lined up the soldiers to fight dryly, it would be too small to underestimate the wisdom of the two coaches. Before the decisive battle, there are bound to be many temptations. Both sides are trying to thwart the courage of the other side, and both hope to weaken the other side by various means, waiting for the best time for a decisive battle.

This is the case with the Bank of China's move, because Gao Qiang believes that Fan and Handan have suffered a loss, so it is recommended to take the initiative in everything.

"Sect Master, please use Yi as the vanguard, and we will defeat the enemy army!"

Zhao Yi heard that there were not many people on the opposite side, so he eagerly asked for orders, willing to be the vanguard to meet the enemy.

Ma Shou's city soldiers fought against the Rong and Di all the year round, and the folk customs were sturdy and good at fighting. This is only the Jinyang soldiers under Zhao Yang. Zhao Yang and Zhao Wuxi discussed it and agreed to Zhao Yi's request.

Just like the other side, Zhao Bing also has camps inside and outside Fan City, and he thinks it will help.

That afternoon, Zhao Yi, who was skilled in horsemanship and archery, rode a black horse, armored and wielding spears, and two thousand soldiers with the heads of the horses stopped after leaving the camp for two miles. Under the dispatch of military officials such as the brigade commander and the **** commander, 2,000 people formed four square formations, two convex and two concave, with shields in front, bows and crossbows in the middle, and spears and halberds in the back. After they lined up. With the sound of the war drums, Fu slowly moved towards the enemy soldiers.

After that, five thousand soldiers led by Zhao Wuxi stopped after only two miles. He didn't go any further, but waited in formation. His task is to respond, if Zhao Yi loses the enemy, then they will cover up and attack the camp while winning, if Zhao Yi loses. Then Zhao Wuxi was responsible for receiving him back to the camp.

Seeing Zhao Wuxi coming to fight in person, and sending hundreds of cavalry to follow him on his flank, Zhao Yi felt very at ease. He was only in his early twenties, and he admired this cousin very much. The practice of riding and archery was influenced by Zhao Wuxi's deeds. This method was very effective in the Taiyuan Basin to conquer the Rong and Di.

Zhao Wuxi was also looking at the Zhongxing clan on the opposite side. This was the first time he had fought against this clan.

The BOC's pioneers were more than 2,000 soldiers, and the standard "five formations" were arranged. This is Wei Shu's invention, but it was used on the soldiers of the Zhongxing clan. The overall phalanx consists of five large phalanxes that cover each other, each with a group of people. It is designed to lure the enemy, so its body is actually just four square arrays, arranged in front, back, left, and right, and the middle is empty. This is roughly the marching form of the chariot troops at that time, with a strong color of chariot warfare.

Even so, compared to the Fan Clan and Handan Clan who had fought before, it was a world of difference. The soldiers of the Bank of China are strict and meticulous. When the people of Chu described the Jin army as "good for regulation and leisure", they actually referred to them.

From this point, it can be seen that Zhongxing's fighting power is much stronger than Fan's.

However, what made Zhao Wuxi's eyes shine was the flank of the Zhongxing clan. There were hundreds of chariots on the left, and some single horses on the right... cavalry! ?

...

Zhao Wuxi called Thief Zhi, pointed at the two or three hundred cavalry on the enemy's flank and said, "Is this the cavalry in the middle line that chased you that day?"

Thief Zhi only glanced at it, then nodded and said, "Of course, it's them."

Yang Hu said next to him: "After the story spread that the gentleman used cavalry to break the food supply of the Qi people a few years ago, the Zhongxing clan also wanted to follow suit, but they did not form their own, but recruited them from the Rong and Di in the Dongyang area. Like Yang, Hua and Rong live together in Gu, Fei, Bai people and other places, so there are quite a few people who can ride horses and shoot arrows.”

Indeed, the cavalry did not form a clear cavalry formation like Zhao Wuxi's light cavalry, but followed the infantry's flanks in a scattered manner. The horses were of different sizes and their equipment was uneven: some used spears, others used spears. Swords, and some hold bows and arrows.

Zhao Wuxi nodded, thinking in his heart: "Although it looks like there is no order, it is also a hidden danger. Before the decisive battle, we must find a way to annihilate this Rong and Di cavalry and destroy the enemy's mobility!"

The words just ended, but there was already a war there.

Zhao Yi waved the banner, galloped with spears, and led his troops to kill Zhongxing's army.

Wu Xie's position was more than half a mile away from the center of the battlefield, but the sound of thousands of people running and shouting death from the enemy and our army in the formation was clearly heard.

I saw that the infantry on both sides soon faced each other. Although there was a flat river between Fan and the Communist Party, thousands of people and horses collided in one place, but it was also a sea of ​​people.

This was the first battle between the two sides. Zhao Bing experienced the victory of Qinshui and the subsequent victory over a hundred miles of land, and his morale was booming, and the Zhonghang clan had just won a game in Jijin, and it was also when he was full of energy, so the two sides Neither played very cautiously. Instead, they fought fiercely together.

Zhao Wuxi and his subordinates Xiang Lu, Mu Xia, Tian Ben, and Yan Gao watched with bated breath.

Thousands of soldiers were fighting together, occupying the battle area between the two army camps. Spears and swords were thrown into the eyes, and the ears were all shouting and fighting. People fought hard and fought, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Doctor Ma Shou is indeed very heroic, and his strength is no less than that of the right army of Lu State." Xiang Lu said this, and the implication was that he was compared to the military soldiers. A bit worse.

Zhao Wuxi said: "Central Xingbing is not weak, you see..."

Only seeing Zhao Yi's flag advancing steadily in the enemy's formation, but getting slower and slower, it can be seen that he encountered huge resistance.

If it was as Roi Zhi described, the Dongyang soldiers of the Zhongxing clan were really brave, and they were not afraid at all in the face of the attack of two thousand Zhao soldiers. Driving to dust, fighting with spears, shouting constantly.

Watching Zhao Yibu fighting with the enemy soldiers, Tian Ben couldn't hold back. In the battle of Muye, Yan Gao made a great contribution to killing Handan Ji, followed by Yu Xi's cavalry. In the battle of Qinshui Battalion, the great achievements were taken by the bowmen, and in the battle of Pofan City, the robbers took the lead. Dedicated to guilt. Tian Ben's valiant soldier has not encountered any tough battles since the battle of Muye, and he has long been suffocated. Fingers rubbed on the handle of the halberd, intent on participating.

He left the brigade team, trotted to the big banner and golden drum where Zhao Wuxi was, and shouted, "My lord! Let's go too!"

Zhao Wuxi rode on the horse and reprimanded him with a stern face: "You are the leader of a brigade, but you left your post without permission. What are you doing here without your subordinates? There are regulations in military law. The cavalry who sent the summons will report, this is not the first time you have violated our military law, do you want to be whipped again and demoted?"

Tian Ben was reluctant and said stubbornly: "But Doctor Ma Shou is about to break them down. If I join in, with the bravery of the soldiers, I will definitely be able to expand the results of the battle, and maybe even completely destroy the enemy soldiers in front of me. Defeat, take advantage of the situation to attack the camp!"

Xiang Lu said, "It's not that easy."

He pointed to the densely packed enemy army behind the smoke and said: "The enemy army also has soldiers standing in the formation, the number of which is no less than ours. If we step forward, the other generation will also step forward. To test the strength of the enemy's army, our army will advance when it sees advantages, and there is no need to force it if it is disadvantageous..."

Tian Ben was dumbfounded. He didn't quite understand these things, but it sounded reasonable.

Seeing that Tian Ben was a little discouraged, Zhao Wuxi had a plan in his heart: "If you want to participate in the war, you will definitely have a chance. I will spare you today, and go down and prepare first!"

Only then did Tian Ben turn his worries into joy. He had always obeyed Zhao Wuxi's orders unconditionally, so he ran back to his position.

Xiang Lu rolled his eyes: "Does your lord have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zhao Wuxi smiled: "Yes." Although, there may be a bit of yin damage...

He didn't make it clear in public, but continued to look at the opposite side. I'm afraid today's fierce battle will not be able to tell any results. Not only are the troops in the center very brave, but the cavalry and the chariots on the flank also cooperate from outside. Tough. However, the same is true here. Zhao's cavalry guards the flanks very well. Whenever Zhao's army is attacked by the Central Bank, they will lead their troops to attack and repel them. The brigade commander seized his flag, but unfortunately the BOC's cavalry force came up immediately, while the Rong and Di cavalry on the opposite side were only doing tactical support, and did not give Yu Xi a chance to seize them.

From the afternoon battle to the evening, Zhao's army failed to take advantage of it, and the Zhongxing's army did not win. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhao Wuxi, who had already seen the Zhongxing's tactics in various ways, Mingjin, and the opposite was also the same. Repatriate their troops to their respective camps.

After fighting for several hours, Zhao Yi was covered in sweat and had several wounds from arrows. After he entered the camp, he bowed down and said, "This servant failed to break through the phalanx of the Central Bank. I'm guilty, please punish the suzerain! "

Zhao Yang did not blame him, but raised his hands vacantly: "Today, the one who is fighting with your nephew is the world-famous Dongyang Armor~www.wuxiahere.com~ If you can fight against him, you have done your best, what's your fault? What? Get up, get up!"

Zhao Wuxi went to the hall and personally helped Zhao Yi up, comforting him and letting him go to rest.

Afterwards, everyone continued to discuss the matter of defeating the enemy. The retainer Yang Yin frowned and said: "The Chinese army is strong, and the armor of Dongyang is brave, and it is difficult to overcome in haste. It's not too late to fight again."

However, Zhao Wuxi objected: "The benefits of this battle are very fast, and we can't make plans! Fan and Bank of China also have territories to the west of Taihang, each with nearly 10,000 soldiers. !"

Zhao Yang said: "What Wu Xie said is true, but the enemy soldiers are brave. Although the Fan family has lost their fighting spirit, the Zhongxing family still has strong morale. How to win?"

Zhao Wuxi already had a scruple in his heart, so he ordered: "Father, the boy is brave when he sees the bravery of the Zhongxing clan's soldiers today, but he thinks of taking the initiative to attack, and he is unprepared. I have a plan, even if I can't break through the enemy's camp. , it can also make the other generation lose a big defeat, frustrate its spirit, and win the first opportunity for the decisive battle!"
