The first thousand two hundred and fifteen chapters offensive and defensive formation
"Yin Yang Family!"
"Ghost Valley!"
"Taiyi Fragments!"
"No matter who it is..., the key to this formation is not to attack, but to defend. With more than 100,000 Wei soldiers defending, it is indeed difficult to break through."
"Ming Jin withdraws the troops and fights again tomorrow."
Wang Ben murmured in his mouth and thought carefully about something. The original strategy of the battle was to move in the vanguard on the left and right, and the central army would attack to defeat the phalanx of Wei soldiers with force.
If you encounter some obstacles, you can fight and retreat at the same time to divide the Wei soldiers.
Now it seems... all the strategies are useless, we should withdraw our troops and fight again.
The leader of the Wei army?
There are still such generals in the Wei army!
This battle...is a bit tricky.
Of course...it's just a little tricky.
Immediately, the sound of bells and drums rang out again. When the Qin army, which had been blocked at all levels and was within the Wei military soldiers' goal, heard this, their fighting spirit eased slightly, and they harnessed their horses and gathered together.
Originally, Wei Wuzu could continue to blockade them, but they also gave way to a way out. No matter how powerful the crossbows were, they lost a lot of men and abandoned Wei Wuzu's policy.
"Just let the Qin army leave like this?"
Zhang Er was greatly puzzled. With the power of the formation and the strategy of the Wei soldiers, it was enough to trap to death the 20,000 Qin troops who entered the formation. Then he led the Wei soldiers with greatly increased morale to attack Wang Ben.
Definitely can win.
Now...but they fought and retreated and allowed the Qin army to leave, only causing thousands of casualties to the Qin army. On the contrary, the Wei soldiers themselves suffered many casualties. They had a huge advantage, but they did not pursue it.
It really puzzled Zhang Er.
"In all the methods of using troops, do not face the high hills, do not turn against the hills on your back, do not follow from the north, do not attack the sharp soldiers, do not feed the decoy soldiers, do not contain the troops when they return, besiege the troops and leave behind them, and do not press against the poor invaders."
"Have I forgotten Sun Tzu's words?"
"In today's battle, the retreat of the Qin army is not a retreat due to defeat, but a retreat where it is difficult to win. The sharp edge of the Qin army has not been weakened, so under the pursuit, the Wei soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties."
"And if Wei's soldiers move, the power of the formation will not be obvious. Sure enough, the Qin army is deceitful. What can we do?"
A mask of joy appeared on the faces of the Zhu family. They were not too nostalgic for the retreat of the Qin army. They faced Zhang Er's puzzled look and slowly explained.
Sun Tzu's words are naturally found in farmhouses, and... he has read a lot and gained a lot. The man in black is right. It is absolutely impossible for Wei to fight against Qin on its own.
Unless there is room for preservation and a stalemate is established, Chu and Qi will inevitably move within two months, otherwise... Qin will destroy Wei and its troops will advance directly to the border between Chu and Qi.
Definitely not what they expected to see.
"Even so, I still can't bear to see those arrogant Qin troops flee."
All the truths are clearly understood in my heart, but...knowing is one thing, and actually looking at the scene in front of me is another. I don't know how long it has been since I saw the Qin army retreating on its own initiative.
If you lead the army yourself, you should hunt down and kill all the Qin troops.
"It doesn't matter, this battle... although we can't win, we are not defeated, and for that formation, the soldiers of Wei have adapted better. Sir, I have already said that if we can succeed in holding on for the next two months, this formation will be successful."
The law can be more powerful."
"When the allied forces of Chu and Qi arrive, another formation can be passed down, which is specially designed for attack and will be more powerful."
The Zhu family feels that today's results are acceptable.
Wei Wuzu did not suffer much losses, but the Qin army suffered a considerable setback. To be honest, Wei Wuzu could be considered a small victory. By this time, it is believed that the documents requesting help from Wei had already arrived at Chu and Qi.
I hope...the two countries will not hesitate any longer.
"That formation... is indeed impressive."
"A few years ago, it was said that during the earthquake in Longxi, Tianzong Xuanqingzi used less than 100,000 troops and the power of the formation to kill 200,000 Xiongnu coalition forces."
"This formation...does it have a name?"
As for the mysterious black-clothed general, today... Chen Yu's eyes were opened. Indeed... when it comes to military warfare, he is far beyond himself, and he is far from his opponent.
Even his true identity became curious.
With such military ability, it stands to reason that... among the Xia Dynasties, people would not be famous. Could it be that they were famous before? But now they are hidden and not visible.
"No name has ever fallen."
"Those are not important anymore."
"Send the order, withdraw the troops with gold, stay in the wilderness, and wait for reinforcements."
Zhu Jia shook his head. The sophistication of such a military battle formation surpassed many of the military battle formations he knew. Now that it has been introduced to Wei Wuzu, it is really a big help.
He is the core of the other party's inheritance. Sure enough, if his name is spread, his identity information will probably be guessed.
He waved his hand and brought up another topic. Looking at Wei Wuzu's policy with almost no big losses, he smiled brightly, and the mask of joy on his face became even more joyful.
"withdraw troops!"
"..."
Everyone was also very happy. Today... they finally saw the Qin army retreating in front of them. It was a good momentum. Next time... they will definitely achieve better results.
"Father!"
"Wei's request for help?"
A hundred miles away from Shouchun of Chu State, Xia Cai's place is a place for military training. Xiang Yan, the commander-in-chief of Ma Zhu State, has been training troops here for several years and has achieved great success.
Now, except for going to Shouchun every few days to report, I just stay in the military camp and plan other things.
Today..., a group of fast-horse envoys from Wei State were divided into two. One went to the capital of Shouchun first, and the other went to Xiang Yan's army.
Inside the shogunate, the envoys from the Wei Kingdom had already withdrawn. Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo stepped inside to see their father still sitting quietly, reading the documents in his hands.
Just ask.
"good!"
"Another envoy has already gone to Shouchun first. At this time, the king has also received the documents, and even the palace guards are already on their way."
Wearing a light white uniform, with a hint of age on his face and gray beard, he stepped forward with a bow, watched his two sons walk in, nodded, put down the documents in his hands, and stood up slowly.
Xiang Yan expected the envoy from Wei to come, but... whether to send troops to rescue... needs to be carefully considered. The document was written by Xiao Wei Mou himself.
"Xiang Liang, what do you think?"
Xiang Yan knew the situation in Wei very well, and the general shouted at Wei Mou to warn the king of Wei that he was false and forcibly transferred troops to defend the country. This is the right way for military strategists and the way to preserve Wei.
Xiang Yan also admired Xiao Wei Mou's courage.
Sure enough, Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, had such courage back then. Perhaps Wei is in a different situation today. In addition, Lord Xinling had 3,000 followers at the time. It is not certain that Wei's national destiny will be reversed.
Of course, it is useless to say that now. The real situation of Wei State is that it is about to face the danger of collapse.
"Father has made a decision in his heart!"
Xiang Liang, wearing heavy armor, took a step forward and smiled brightly.
"Father, Wei Guo needs to be saved!"
"Must be rescued!"
"No matter what, nothing can happen to Wei at this time!"
Xiang Bo on the side also nodded deeply. In fact...a few years ago, when the Qin State destroyed Han, the Chu State should have rescued him. However, at that time, the Chu State was still in chaos and could not distract him.
at.
It's different now. Today's Chu State has returned to a stable state. The king lives in Shouchun, issuing decrees and receiving favors, and he has gained quite a lot, despite the strong opposition of Qu Zhaojing and other wealthy families.
After all, other smaller clans will accept it. In terms of general trends, the extension of favor is irreversible.
What's more, my father had just completed his military training and had hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, which was a strong deterrent to those people. As expected, Chu State had the ability to detach an army to go north at this time to help Wei State counterbalance Qin State.
Wei Guo survives!
Then, Qin's goal will not fall on Chu.
The same is true for Qi State.
As long as Wei State can continue to support it, Chu State will have enough opportunities to develop and grow in another five to eight years.
Even if Wei is destroyed, what does Chu have to fear?
It's just a battle.
"Although Wei needs to be rescued, it is not in a hurry to rescue at this time."
"Wei Mou has successfully trained his troops. There are more than 200,000 troops in the Wei State. Let them be exhausted with the Qin army. After a month or two, it will not be too late for the Chu State to send troops."
Regarding whether to send troops to rescue the Wei State, his father should have made the same decision as himself.
save!
It must be saved!
The key is how to rescue!
If Wei does not have enough strength to defend, then it is useless for Chu to send troops.
Moreover... if Chu State directly sends troops to counter Qin State, it will preserve the power of Wei State a lot, although Wei State is very important to Chu State.
But a powerful Wei State is not needed.
The Wei State occupies the Central Plains, with hundreds of families operating within it. It can be regarded as the core of the Xia Dynasty. It has indeed developed, and it is very likely to regain its hegemonic status.
When Wei Guo had Wenhou, Wuhou, and Hui Wang, the Chu State suffered a lot.
A relatively weak Wei State that could resist Qin was what Chu needed.
"Even so."
"However, all kinds of food, grass, baggage, armor and equipment needed by the Wei State still need to be prepared. I will order a batch of various things to be transported to Daliang City, which is enough for 100,000 people."
"Prepare another batch of various affairs for 100,000 people to be transported to Yan State through the East China Sea channel, where... Yan State can withstand it for a longer period of time."
The situation in Yanzhao is already dire. Nonetheless, it would be great to be able to support them for a while longer.
Xiang Yan nodded slightly, and his two sons were right. He immediately gave the order without thinking. In recent years, the Chu State's treasury has gradually become fuller, and those things are nothing.
"yes!"
Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo looked at each other and nodded.
"Report!"
"The envoy from the royal capital came with the royal order document in hand and has arrived outside the military camp!"
At that moment, a loud voice sounded outside the shogunate's military tent.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Yan, his father and his son in the shogunate all smiled. Sure enough, the king's envoy had already arrived.
"As my father, I will go to the royal capital first, and you will stay behind until I have a good time."
Xiang Yanxing lowered his head, and beside him, Xiang and Liang were already carrying heavy armor and eagle helmets. They were wearing formal attire and giving instructions. This must be the case for the king's summons.
