Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: I just came back, and the update will return to normal tomorrow

"Burn down the pontoon!"

This order made Qi Jun's messenger stunned for a while, thinking that he had heard it wrong, but Guoxia's eyes were firm and unquestionable, and he didn't want to joke at all. :Music:Text:Fiction 3w.しxs520.o

When Guoxia arrived at Wenshui, half of the pontoon bridge had already been built, and the other half would take two hours to complete. Nearly 35,000 Qi troops were waiting on the shore, but behind them, there was less than one main force of the Zhao clan. The hour will come.

After looking at it for a while with a gloomy face, he finally gritted his teeth and made the decision to destroy the overseas Chinese.

"Guozi, what's the meaning of this!" As expected by Guoxia, this order caused an uproar among the teachers and commanders. It didn't take long for Yangsheng, the son of Qi, who was in charge of the army behind him, to protest first. On his chest, sweating profusely, he was full of anger.

Guo Xia frowned at Yang Sheng's actions, and explained, "The Zhao army is about to arrive, and our army has no time to cross the river, so a battle on the south bank of Wenshui is inevitable."

Yang Sheng's eyes flashed a strong desire to survive, and he said earnestly: "The Zhao army also arrived after a long march, and must be extremely exhausted. Let the rear army block Zhao Wuxi, I will go to the front and let people speed up the construction, and the army can go completely. take off..."

"Who will cut off the queen? Gaozi, or the young master?" Guo Xia glanced at the generals who came to check his tone, and sneered: "After the previous 10,000 army was cut off, it has been harassed by Zhao's partial division and cannot be established. When the main force of the Zhao clan is fighting, it will inevitably fail. At that time, our army will be exposed to the front of the Zhao clan, and it will be a half-assault situation, and there will be no doubt that it will be defeated, and it will be a fiasco!"

"Yes, but there is no need to burn the pontoon bridge, this is the only way for everyone to survive!"

"This is going to block everyone's only way of life!" Guo Xia said softly in his heart, but changed his words when he exited.

"Have you forgotten the lesson of the battle of Jin, Chu, and Qi? After the Jin army suffered a small defeat, in order to **** the boat that crossed the river, the Jin people killed each other before the arrival of the Chu army, and the people on the boat pushed the people on the shore into the water. , In order to compete for a position on the boat, the Paoze Township Party fought so hard that the number of fingers chopped off in the boat could not be counted!"

Guo Xia knew very well that even if he and Yang Sheng and the others could escape back to Qi, if the army fell here, Qi would be over! Out of the sense of responsibility as the coach, for the future of the second national high school, and for the longevity of the Jiang surnamed office, he will never steal his life.

"If that's the case, it's better to burn down the pontoon bridge to make everyone feel like they're dead, and I'll show them that they're not alive, so as to trap the beasts and fight back, repel the Zhao army, and cross the river calmly!"

No one dared to defy Guoxia's authority in the army. All the masters said yes, Guoxia asked Young Master Yangsheng to return to his position, and sent a chariot to hold his orders. After seeing the pontoon on fire The panicked Qi army shouted loudly: "Zhao army spies burned the pontoon bridge. If the Qi people want to return home, turn back and form an array. After defeating the Zhao army, the army will take you home!"

"Homecoming! Going home!" The sound rang out after a slight stagnation. While you were chasing me these days, the Qi soldiers were more or less aware of the danger behind them. They abandoned most of the looted weapons in Lu. The spoils, only one life left must be brought back to the hometown. Now that hope is suddenly cut off, some people are afraid, some people are hesitant, but most of them are aroused **** and angry by Guoxia.

Since you are forced to do this, you can only fight! What is so amazing about Zhao Jun, they are not comparable to the cowardly and incompetent Wei people!

Guo Xia looked at the pawns who turned around and lined up one after another under the command of the masters and commanders, and nodded with satisfaction. Twenty years later, although the law of Sima Rangju has been abandoned a lot, the pride and courage that the soldier left to the people of Qi still exists. The money of the war!

Whether the result of this battle is good or bad, Guoxia has already made a desperate gamble! He only hoped that his counterattack would make Zhao Wuxi retreat despite the difficulties, and let the army dragged to the reinforcements from Qi State to respond...

...

"Have you ever found out how many Zhao Jun's main force is?" Guo Xia asked, pointing to the only remaining scouts.

"The son of the country, about 20,000, is eight miles away from here."

"Twenty thousand? Whose flags are among them, can you see clearly?"

"The villain sees it very clearly. There are Zhao's flaming sun black bird flag, Song country's white background black bird flag, and other flags of the first division level, such as galloping horse knight, sword and shield, horse fighting chicken, etc. foot."

Guo Xia frowned slightly as he stood on the chariot. After Qi Jun turned back to form an array, Zhao Jun was already approaching, but the number of people was not quite what he expected.

According to earlier news, the Zhao army had about 20,000 when they besieged Diqiu, and it was almost the same number when they set out to advance eastward. At the same time, when the state of Cao changed, there was intelligence that a large-scale Song army was going north through Taoqiu, and it was delayed in the state of Cao for a while. If this Song army joins with Zhao Wuxi's army, Guoxia will face at least 30,000 people, plus those cavalry, light soldiers and Qufu Lu soldiers, the number should be no less than the Qi army.

After most of Zhao's army entered Guoxia's field of vision, he roughly estimated the enemy's strength on the next front, and it was indeed only about 20,000. Where did the 10,000 people who disappeared out of thin air go?

"Could it be that he lost touch with the army along the way?" Gao Wupi suggested this possibility. As far as they know, the reason why Zhao Bing caught up with him so quickly must be that he marched in a hurry day and night, leaving thousands of troops behind along the way. It's common for people too. When they are on the road, don't they always have someone who can't move and stay behind?

So far, Guoxia can only think so, so, at least before Zhao Bing, who is lagging behind, catches up, Qi Army has a numerical advantage over Zhao Army.

Although it was decided to fight, how to fight is still a problem. As a clear-headed Qi general, Guo Xia knew very well in his heart that in terms of the strength of the army and the cunning of the soldiers, he was far inferior to Zhao Wuxi, who had a phalanx of spears and light cavalry, so he could only use The strength of the Qi people is the weakness of attacking the enemy.

What are Qi Jun's strengths? In Guoxia, the first is the chariot, and the second is the bow and arrow, especially the chariot.

"The chariot is the wing of the army, so trap the strong, defeat the strong enemy, cover the north, and ride the defeated, use the chariot!"

There was also Young Master Yang Sheng, who had been devastated by Zhao's cavalry, who objected. There were a large number of light cavalry in the Zhao army, and the chariots might not be able to fight against the cavalry.

Guoxia is a little unbelieving. In the past few years, although Zhao's cavalry has a good reputation and is almost invincible, as far as Guoxia knows, they have no experience of defeating chariots in big battles. In the battle of Meng Zhu in the Song Rebellion, Zheng Jun's Yu Li formation was beaten to the ground by the Zhao clan, but they mainly relied on the infantry phalanx and crossbow arrows.

Therefore, Guoxia hopes that his chariot will charge out in one breath when Zhao Jun has just arrived at the footing, and defeat Zhao Wuxi's spirit, and then repel them.

The method of appointing officers for chariots in the state of Qi is that five chariots have one captain, ten chariots have one chariot officer, fifty chariots have one chariot rate, and one hundred chariots have one chariot general. Guoxia ordered nine doctors or Gongsun to serve as chariot generals. . For a time, the flags of the Chinese Army in Guoxia were displayed, and after each division received the order, they began to gather the chariots under their respective command.

However, perhaps the intention of Guoxia's move was too obvious, and perhaps the opposite Zhao Wuxi also knew the advantages of his own side and Qi's army, and Zhao's side had a countermeasure before Qi's attack...

...

It is true that nearly 10,000 people in Zhao’s army have evaporated in vain, but what are those people doing? Zhao Wuxi and the main generals know very well that for the final victory, he is completely willing to take the responsibility of attacking 35,000 people with 20,000 troops. risk.

Zhao Wuxi had many scouts, and Guoxia also sent scouts out. Although most of them were killed by light cavalry, there were still a few fish that slipped through the net and ran back. So Guo Xia knew that Zhao Wuxi was catching up. He was planning to cross the river, but now he hastily burned the pontoon bridge, and changed to prepare for battle at the back of the river.

Wu Xie passed the order, ordering Mu Xia and Tian Ben to display their headquarters and prepare for the attack. He rode high on the river bank and watched from afar, watching the army of the Qi people.

"Zixi thinks, what about the Qi formation?" Zhao Wuxi asked Shi Qi, who was brilliantly resourceful in the process of delaying the Qi people.

Shi Qi didn't say much, he waited for a moment, then raised his whip and pointed, and said to Zhao Wuxi: "The villain used to be a little official of the Chu army, and he doesn't know much about battle formations, but he can also see that the Qi army is concentrating the chariot. , the chariot is probably the thing Qi will rely on the most."

Zhao Wuxi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, in the enemy's army, the chariot is the strongest."

Such a number of chariots can still pose a threat to one's own side. He has a small number of cavalry, most of which are cavalry archers for cavalry and harassment. Tens of thousands of troops are fighting, and the front line can be stretched for several miles. Thousands of chariots are concentrated in one place, and it is also possible that several army formations will be broken, so it is necessary to guard against it. So Zhao Wuxi tilted his head to look for it and asked, "Where is your son?"

"The servant is here." Ran Qiu emerged from behind, and like Shi Qi, he also won the praise of Zhao Wuxi for his decisive attack with the Lu people in Qufu, and ranked first with Tian Ben and Shi Qi, while Yu Xi, Fan Chi was second to none. The five of them who chased for hundreds of miles were also nicknamed Zhao's "Five Dogs", meaning that Zhao Wuxi was a hunter.

"Ziyou guards Lupin, what do you think?"

Ran Qiu, who had fought many times with the Qi people, approached and suggested: "The general once explained to me before leaving the state of Lu that the people of Qi are the great enemies of Lu, and if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be able to fight a hundred battles without being imprisoned. Please check the records of the Qi army's tactics in the history of the country and combine them. From the experience of fighting with the Qi people many times, I know that no matter which general of the Qi people, the usual method of warfare has always been to use tactical strikes, strong bows and chariots at the same time. I think that Guoxia's warfare method should be to put the strong bow on the On both sides, shoot me left and right, the chariot soldiers attacked me left and right, and the technical attack also took the opportunity to attack, causing chaos on my flanks."

"In any case, the core of the Qi people's tactics is the chariot..." Zhao Wuxi smiled and had an idea in his heart.

"If that's the case, why not let the Qi people's advantage be used?"

He immediately ordered: "Wait the flag, let Yu Xi continue to harass, and our army begins to move closer, from the marching army to the battle formation, don't stop after entering two miles in front of the enemy, keep moving forward, and advance until it is half a mile away. Just stop!"

...

"Guozi, Zhao Jun didn't stop!"

Guo Xia, who was commanding the army to concentrate on the chariots and preparing to fight the enemy, was startled when he heard the words, and when he looked back at Zhao Jun's actions, he couldn't help but shudder. He immediately laughed at himself and said, "That's right, Zhao Wuxi didn't plan to fight me in a dignified battle, he wanted to learn from the Chu army in the battle of Yanling, and when our army turned back in a hurry, he suddenly approached our camp to form a battle. , In this way, there is a big river behind and an enemy army in front, and the chariot can't be used..."

The Qi army's method of chariot warfare is a system of its own. Unlike the Zheng people's chariot coordination "Fish Li Formation", the Qi people like to use the chariots in a concentrated manner. Ten steps, sixty steps between teams, this is the way of fighting when encountering weaker enemies, and the chariot array is relatively loose. As for the method of a dangerous battle against a strong enemy, the chariots are gathered in ten chariots, and twenty chariots are in the camp.

Even if it is calculated by the method of dangerous battle, thousands of chariots have to be lined up in a vertical and horizontal area of ​​two miles. Guoxia originally thought that Zhao Jun came from a long distance. If Zhao Wuxi was cautious, he would definitely rest a few miles away. For a moment, who would have expected the other party to see through his own tactics at a glance, and he was pressing step by step!

"Despicable!" I don't know which of the Qi people's masters scolded, which caused a lot of approval. This is not what two nobles should do in a battle. This Zhao Wuxi is really a cheap bastard, and he is not generous at all.

"Enough, there is no right or wrong on the battlefield, as long as you can win... There is no reason for the loser to say how the winner will be." Guo Xia sighed and became serious at the same time.

"During the Battle of Yanling, the Jin army was forced by the Chu people and was in a disadvantageous position. The Jin army finally adopted Fan Xuanzi's strategy, filling the wells and flat stoves in the barracks, expanding the space, and arranging on the spot, not only to get rid of the predicament of being unable to leave the camp. , and concealed his own deployment adjustments..."

Guoxia looked at Zhao Jun, who occupied the commanding heights of the river bank, and shook his head. They were destined to be unable to replicate the correct approach of the Jin army. Since Zhao Jun blocked the possibility of their active attack, they could only choose to defend...

...

"I heard that the princes of the Central Plains were fighting, and they always liked to set up a battle, wait for the other party to beat the drums, and then advance together, but since coming to Zhao's camp, I have never seen a general use troops like this."

Shi Qi watched Zhao Wuxi's mobilization command, and saw that Zhao Jun won the first move before the fight~www.wuxiahere.com~ He suddenly asked such a sentence.

Zhao Wuxi was stunned for a moment, a little difficult to answer, but Xiang Lu next to him hurriedly replied: "That is the ancient military ceremony hundreds of years ago, except for Song Xianggong, who still obeys it? You can't be strict in marching and fighting. During the Battle of the Long Spoon that year, facing the powerful Qi army, Cao Gui also used a strategy. He didn't care about any dignified battle, he only let the Lu army stand still, wait for the Qi people to beat the drum three times, and the chariot rushed three times. They attacked only after venting. The Lu people defeated Qi with one enemy and ten. Afterwards, they only praised Cao Gu for his quickness and wisdom. Who would say that he did not obey the rules? Instead, he was regarded as a hero."

Zhao Wuxi also nodded and said: "Yes, soldiers, the important affairs of the country must be observed. This is a contest involving the lives of tens of thousands of people. I will not hinder the ritual and music system of death, and let the soldiers suffer casualties in vain... …”

He looked at Zhao Jun, who was slowly advancing after getting his order like an ant, and said, "Winning the war at the least cost is the goal for the general!"

At this moment, Ran Qiu, who had been observing the movements of the Qi people, said loudly, "General! The Qi people's formation has changed!"

Wu Xie and the others hurriedly took a closer look, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "As expected of the famous commander of Qi, Guo Xia responded very quickly. He didn't plan to let the chariots attack, but instead set up bases with chariots..." (Unfinished to be continued.)
