Chapter eight hundred and fiftieth important military situation
Although such a large-scale bombing was far from accurate, once a thunderbolt fell on the Beidi military camp, it would cause a lot of noise and shake the morale of the military.
Especially on that day, no one could tell when the thunder would fall, during the day or at night, while sleeping or while eating. All of a sudden, the Beidi soldiers could not sleep at night, their food was tasteless, and many of them were mentally disturbed.
I felt haggard.
"Keep an eye on the sky, and if there is a bird, try to shoot it down." In the king's tent, Yiqu Xiao roared angrily.
Three days later, a total of six thunderbolts fell into the military camp. The nearest one was only a hundred steps away from his royal tent. It was really scary to think about it.
Just a little bit, wouldn't it be that he was going to die?
Six sky thunders killed eight people from the Beidi Army and injured more than 20 people. Moreover, those injured basically could not survive and were just lingering.
Although the loss seems very small, it is so small that it can be ignored. But the problem is that no one knows when the next thunder will fall, where it will fall, and whether it will fall into one's own account.
, or in front of you.
The feeling of waiting for trial is the most life-threatening thing. After all, no matter whether you are a king or a general, you only have one life. Once you are bombed, you will die.
"No, let's send out troops to fight the Jizhou Army." Yi Qushe said impulsively, unable to help himself.
"No." Gongsun Wen stood up and said to stop him, "This is clearly what King Ji did intentionally. In the final analysis, he just hopes that we can kill them out so that they can fight defensively. Isn't this taking advantage of the opponent's advantage?"
Mind?"
In the past three days, Gongsun Wenke often rode his war horse to the Jizhou military camp to watch. He found that the Jizhou army had carried hundreds of Shen's giant crossbows. All the Jizhou infantry were practicing how to quickly release the giant crossbows.
This incident was clearly aimed at their Beidi cavalry. If they were to launch an attack on their own initiative, they would have to deal with those giant crossbows first. I am afraid that if they hit them, the losses would not be too light.
Can the Beidi Army, which has no backup, still be able to afford losses?
In the previous battle, the Jizhou Army's logistics army was not completely in place, especially the Shen's giant crossbows were still being transported. Now that these things have arrived, they naturally need to be installed to cope with the Beidi Army's cavalry charge.
With the addition of these hundreds of Shen's giant crossbows, the Jizhou Army's lethality has increased by up to three points. If the Beidi cavalry comes again, it will be difficult to make as big a profit as last time.
"We can't attack and we can't defend. Is it possible that we have to retreat to Shile City? If so, wouldn't we be waiting for the Jizhou Army's artillery to bombard us?" Yi Qushe said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
"Of course we can't go back. What this clan leader means is that we can attack, but we must think of a good way and have a specific plan." Gongsun Wen said again.
"A good way? What way?"
"Night attack." Gongsun Wen said as if he was well prepared, and then said: "Only a night attack will prevent the opponent's Shen's giant crossbow from exerting its power. Of course, even if it is a night attack, we will also
To pick a good time, we must first paralyze the opponent. As long as the Jizhou Army is unprepared, then our night attack may determine the outcome."
"Clan Chief Gongsun, please be specific about what you mean." Yiquxiao also came and asked with interest.
"Your Majesty, we must first show the enemy that we are weak. The current Jizhou Army must be very defensive when they first come here, and it must be no exception at night. If this is the case, we will not get much benefit from launching a night attack now. So.
We must create an illusion for them, that is, our Beidi Army is just as good at night attacks, and let them slowly adapt to it, and then just ignore it. In this way, when we launch another night attack with the entire army, we will be able to build a
It’s a miracle.”
As soon as these words were said, Yi Qushe's eyes kept rolling, "Well, this is a good way. We can send some old and weak people to attack to create a feeling for the Jizhou Army that our strength is only mediocre. In this way
The effect should be better.”
"Haha, the general is absolutely right." Gongsun Wen responded with a smile.
In response to the sudden thunderstorm, the Beidi Army did not have any countermeasures, but they made a rough plan for the future battle. Just to prevent the news from leaking, the soldiers below did not know about it. Only a few fierce generals in the army knew about it.
As the most powerful general of the Cheng clan, Jiu She naturally knew the news.
It was from this night that the Beidi Army's first night attack suddenly appeared.
Even during the first night attack, Yiqushe still had the slightest idea that the Jizhou Army might not be prepared. So he deliberately increased the strength of this night attack, to a total of 20,000 people, just to see what the Jizhou Army would do.
Quality. If they were really unprepared, maybe this first time would be their last.
But as Gongsun Wen said, the Jizhou Army will definitely be on guard. And the Jizhou Patrol Army responsible for guarding the camp tonight is the Snow Leopard Regiment of the Third Regiment of Shanshan Guards.
This is the most elite force except for the two heavy cavalry. Together with them, there are 5,000 wild cavalry and 2,000 field army light cavalry. When the Beidi cavalry left the camp, they were discovered only five miles away, and then both sides
It's just a fight.
Although the Jizhou Army does not have much advantage in terms of numbers, their individual combat capabilities are relatively elite and they are not afraid of fighting against some old and weak soldiers in Shangbeidi.
The Jizhou Army was indeed prepared. Seeing that the big thing was not going to happen, Yiqushe ordered the money to be paid. After losing more than a thousand corpses, he retreated. The Jizhou Army also lost hundreds of cavalry here, but most of them were from the field army.
Light cavalry.
A night attack ended with thunder and rain. When the news reached the ears of Wang Zhang Tang Ao, he didn't pay much attention. He just thought it was a probing move by the other party.
In the next month, Tang Ao was thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy. To be honest, when the power of the artillery was limited, it could not be pushed to the front line to exert its power, or once it was pushed out, the number of people would probably be reduced.
The dominant Beidi cavalry would rush in front of them with a single charge. After destroying the artillery, the Jizhou Army seemed to have lost the initiative in the war.
The numerical advantage is not as good as the opponent's, the number of cavalry is even less than that of the opponent, and there is no advantage in artillery. Xiaojin's aerial bombing cannot cause serious damage to the opponent in the wild. Occasionally, a few thunderbolts fall, which is like scratching an itch and cannot cause serious damage to the opponent.
, not only Tang Ao, but also the staff officers who came with the army felt a little helpless.
Do you really want to withdraw from the land of Beidi?
But if we withdraw this time, we really don’t know when we can come next time. A small number of people won’t work, so it’s better not to come. But how long will it take to wait until the Jizhou Army expands its troops?
The current war in the Central Plains has penetrated deep into the south. The Huns, Japanese, and South Vietnamese have appeared on the battlefield one after another, slaughtering the people of Daqian. Tang Ao has been anxious for a long time. He wishes he had wings to fly over now and kill all these foreign races. Kill them all and let them know the price of invading Daqian.
But if Beidi is not solved, how can he go south with peace of mind? Once the army goes out for an expedition, who can bear it if they come to you for a while from behind?
If the rear is unstable, how can the war at the front go smoothly?
At this time, Tang Ao was quite caught in a dilemma. It was neither a matter of advancing troops nor a retreat.
After all, Tang Aocai has only been around for a long time. He was able to occupy the land of six states only after he had tried his best. Beidi has survived for many years. Even Emperor Qianwen had no intention of taking Beidi. Now Tang Ao just wanted to capture it, how could it be so easy?
Soon, one month passed, and Tang Ao and his staff still didn't think of a good solution. During this month, the Beidi Army launched a night attack at every turn, sometimes the next day, and sometimes They came every two or three days, and the number of people in each attack was only one or two thousand, which made the patrol team at night very annoying.
As time went by, after discovering that the other party was only harassing and had no ability to break the camp, gradually, the night patrol team began to become careless. This can be seen from the strength of the night patrol troops. From the initial number of more than 10,000 to The current five thousand people are enough to explain everything.
The soldiers of the Jizhou Army are not made of iron, and they also need to rest. It is undoubtedly a waste to send a large number of troops every day to keep vigil. This is an idea of the whole army, and it is also Tang Ao's idea.
This idea is exactly what the people of Beidi are pursuing. They are just waiting for such an opportunity. If it were not for Jiu She, they are afraid that this matter would have happened.
That night, the Beidi people came to steal the camp again. Their number was only about 2,000. They were easily defeated by the 5,000 cavalry who kept watch. They killed dozens of the enemy's cavalry and captured one of them.
Prisoners like this often happen, and any kind of situation may happen under dark conditions. Some Beidi cavalry got separated from the large army, and some were captured in some minor situations. But this The man who was captured once took the initiative to stay.
The soldiers below reported that this man did not leave after everyone else left. Instead, he rushed towards the Jizhou Army alone. But when he rushed in front of them, this man actually raised his hands and surrendered.
Not only that, this person also said that he had important military information and wanted to meet with King Ji.
The soldiers below couldn't figure out the situation, so they could only confiscate the man's weapons and report the matter. Tang Ao had just gone to bed not long ago. He was already used to night attacks and did not feel worried or nervous.
The people below reported the matter, and the guards also felt that the matter was a bit difficult, and finally reported it to Tang Ao.
Tang Ao, who got up from the bed, naturally didn't look too good-looking. When the visitor was brought to the king's tent, he looked at him. He had already thought that if this person didn't really have important military information, then We must deal with him well. After all, he is also the lord of the six states. How can he be seen by just anyone who wants to see him.
