In the name of Zhishen, Zhiyao ordered Zhong Quan to lead two "brigades" to support the Hu family, and then sent new instructions to Wei Ju.
The Wei family showed that they were capable of fighting, but the problem was that they invaded the Wu army camp too early and did not form a linkage with the Zhi family and the Hu family.
Now, about five thousand Qi troops are approaching from "Ai Ling". Who knows what they want to do, so we have to be on guard.
Of course, the Qi army only came in numbers of about 5,000. Zhiyao knew very well that the Qi army would not attack the Jin army immediately. If he had malicious intentions, he should pretend to be an ally of the Jin army and seize the opportunity to suddenly attack the Jin army.
son.
Before the war, the Qi and Wu armies each numbered about 100,000.
After four or five months passed, the Qi army suffered the most casualties. The remaining troops were about 20,000 to 25,000, divided into several parts. "Ai Ling" had the largest number, there should be seven or eight thousand?
The Wu army in "Ai Ling" alone had nearly 40,000 troops, and the rest of the local battlefields should total about 20,000. Adding the Lu army's 10,000 troops, the total strength was still around 70,000.
Therefore, in the contest between the Wu army and the Qi army, it was obvious that the Wu army was in a superior position, losing about 40,000 Wu troops and more than 10,000 Lu troops, and annihilating about 75,000 Qi troops.
"After this battle, the State of Qi will either surrender to the State of Jin or to the State of Wu. From a geopolitical point of view, the State of Qi should submit to the State of Jin, but the people of Qi have always had great opinions on the State of Jin, and their minds have always been confused.
If it doesn't work well, it is likely to surrender to the Wu State?" Zhiyao had just ordered to strengthen the coverage and asked the soldiers to pull in the horses and fences that had been prepared long ago.
It was impossible for them to give up the pressure on the Wu army's camp. The prerequisite for not withdrawing their troops was to build their own camp in an area close enough to the Wu army's camp. This method of warfare was written in "Tai Gong's Art of War", but very few people used it.
What is "Tai Gong's Art of War"? It was written by Jiang Ziya, and it has always been a family heirloom of the Lu family named Jiang. It is a pity that the Lu family of Jiang surnamed did not produce any capable people, which made "Tai Gong's Art of War" fall into dust.
Zhiyao needs to build a camp, and the crossbowmen are covering it with arrows again and again. This is a very expensive move. If you are not rich, you will really be unable to bear it.
Of course, it is not possible to stop the Wu army just by covering it with arrows. Melee troops are still needed to attack. We can see that the Zhishi sword and shield soldiers wearing breastplates have blocked the charging Wu army time and time again. Because the numbers of both sides are not large,
Basically, the winner can be determined in about a quarter of an hour.
The rate of the Wu army wearing armor was very low, and those who did wear armor were mostly bamboo armor. This was also a characteristic of the Wu army, so much so that when they were marching, they could always hear the clanking sound of bamboo pieces.
Because the technology for refining tung oil has not yet been developed, or it is not known at all that tung oil can be extracted, whether it is bamboo armor, rattan armor or any other armor, there is no tung oil treatment process.
In this way, although bamboo armor or rattan armor has some defensive functions, without the process of soaking in tung oil, the defensive power is really not that good.
Zhiyao watched the battle for a while and found that Wu Jun's weapons were very sharp. In terms of making bronze weapons, Wu's technology seemed to be more advanced than other countries in the Central Plains?
However, the Wu State, which has high-end bronze technology, most of their archers use bone arrows or bare arrows. There is nothing to say about this. The Jin State has Zhongtiao Mountain, which stretches for dozens of miles and is rich in copper mines, and it is even more rare.
The salt pool relied on these two resources to rise rapidly after it developed. After its rise, it was able to continuously mine copper mines from the Taihang Mountains. Of course, Wu State also had copper mines and could produce sea salt, but how long did it take for Wu State to rise?
The real trend of Wu State becoming a hegemon was after Fu Chai became the king, which only lasted eleven years, which was really impressive.
Therefore, it is normal for Wu State to be unable to make up for some areas, not to mention that Fu Chai has done so many things with hammers and hammers that Wu State's warehouses can run smoothly all year round.
"This is too much!" Fu Chai was really angry when he saw the Jin army setting up a camp right under his nose.
Qi returned to Qi, Zhi's crossbowmen were really arrogant, and the flying arrows like raindrops made Wu's army suffer heavy casualties every time they charged due to lack of thick armor. Later, Fu Chai stopped being impulsive and ordered the army to retreat to the interior of the camp.
.
When Fu Chai returned to the Chinese army's tent, his face became even more gloomy after hearing the battle report.
The Wei troops who entered the Wu army's camp were even more bullying. They defeated the Wu army who was fighting with them. They simply played a game of dove occupying the magpie's nest, using the barriers previously erected by the Wu army to block the attack.
Walking posture.
The only thing that put Fu Cha in a good mood was that it was easier to defeat the Fox clan. Without the reinforcements of the two "brigades", the Fox clan was almost beaten and fled by our own side.
"Don't attack the Jin army to the west, you must have contact with them!" Fucha reminded him very seriously.
If your mind is slow, you will be extremely confused by Fu Chai's order.
Those who are more cunning will understand immediately after hearing this.
The Hu clan's fighting power is not good. If the Wu army defeats them too early, or if the commander of the Jin army repeatedly sends more troops to the Hu clan, wouldn't it block their possible breakout direction?
The meeting between kings and ministers is halfway through.
Ru Cao came over in a hurry, even forgetting to salute, and said in a hurried voice: "The Qi army has come out of Ailing and has joined forces with the Jin army."
Many people’s expressions changed immediately!
A burst of sudden laughter appeared, and everyone looked at Fu Chai who was laughing "haha". They really didn't understand what the point of laughter was that made him laugh like that.
"I've told you that armies from all over the country have returned and garrisoned at Ai." Fu Chai wanted to release all the besieged Qi troops.
Fengtong showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and praised loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Fu Chai said: "In this case, the doctor will tell the ministers about my wisdom."
Needless to say, Feng Tong really thought about why Fu Chai did what he did. While describing it, he took the opportunity to flatter Fu Chai. He looked like he was not a pure villain, and his IQ was much higher than that of many people.
To be honest, if you want to be a traitor, your IQ and EQ must be very low. It is even harder to be a loyal minister.
Being able to get Fu Chai's favor from Feng Tong, in addition to being able to do things, doesn't it mean that he can peek into Fu Chai's thoughts in advance, or that he can always praise Fu Chai when he needs it most?
No matter whether they understood before or not, after listening to Feng Tong's story, everyone had to pretend to understand even if they didn't understand, otherwise they would not give the husband face.
Xu Menchao said: "What the doctor said is absolutely true. The Zhi family repeatedly attacked and plundered Qi, first occupying the north bank of Jishui, and then the south bank of Jishui. The people of Qi hated me as much as they did. This time, although our army won, we also suffered losses.
It was so tragic that the people of Qi knew that if Jin returned to the state of Bo, it would cause serious harm to Qi."
Zhan Ru then said: "Your Majesty, you can send envoys to the Guo clan to follow them."
Guo clan? So is the credential of the Tian clan or the Guo clan?
Fu Chai glanced at Feng Tong, who immediately understood.
"Your Majesty, I would like to go." He asked for orders.
Therefore, being a traitor is not that easy. To understand the monarch’s likes and dislikes, what achievements should you make on a regular basis?
The person who led the Qi army out of the city and arrived at the Jin army's Zhi clan's headquarters was Gao Wupi. He was from the Gao clan of Qi State, and had the same origin as the Guo clan.
Gao Wupi led the Qi army, and the credential also led the way and left "Ai Ling" without knowing where to go. The one who stayed in the city of "Ai Ling" was the Zong Tower.
When Gao Wupi came to Zhi's side, he found out that the person actually commanding the troops in the battle was Zhi Yao, not Zhishen, and he suddenly believed some rumors.
According to rumors, Zhi Yao is planning and handling all the affairs of the Zhi family. As the head of the family, Zhishen can definitely enjoy a happy life.
Many people are a little obsessed with Zhishen, and even more people are envious of Zhishen.
Gao Wupi told Zhiyao that Qi and Jin were now allies, and they went out of the city to join the Jin army to attack the Wu army.
"I wonder where Tian Shu is?" Zhiyao asked.
Gao Wupi replied: "Tian Shu is in Boshan."
ah?
Zhiyao showed a confused expression. Wasn't the credentials in "Ai Ling" before? Why did he go to Boshan?
Zhiyao obviously made a mistake here.
This Qi army has two generals named Shu. The commander of the Qi army is Shu, who is from the Guo family. Shu, who is from the Tian family, is also in the army. Together with Tian Ni, they both serve as the reserve force of the Qi army. Later, Tian
The book stayed in Boshan, and Tian Ni led the army to support the credential on the front battlefield.
Due to the fact that people are often addressed by their first names, not even titles, and the Tian family is now in power in Qi, the two people named Shu are confused.
Originally, such a low-level mistake should not have happened to Zhishi. Coincidentally, Guoshi had suffered a disaster before, and Zhiyao suddenly made a mistake.
However, whether it is Tian Shu or Guo Shu, there is basically no difference to the Zhi family.
The arrival of Qi Jun made things very complicated. It was not a help to Zhiyao, but instead became a hidden danger.
Zhiyao waited until there was no one around, then leaned into Yurang's ear and said, "I want to imprison Gao Wupi."
Yurang said without saying a word, "Please give me twenty soldiers, we will definitely win!"
Zhiyao was surprised for a moment. How dare you be so reckless as to go directly to the Qi army to arrest someone?
"I invite Gao Wupi to come, and I will take it directly when the time comes." Zhiyao said.
Yu Rang said: "Although my family is at odds with the Qi State, my eldest son cannot do this unethical thing."
That's really what happened.
Now that the Zhao family's reputation is so bad, Zhao Yang needs to shoulder 99% of the blame, and Zhao Yang only did one thing, killing Zhao Wu who sent someone to the door.
Zhiyao looked at Yurang and nodded heavily.
It’s not appropriate to invite someone over and then arrest them. How about going over and arresting people based on your strength? This kind of overbearing behavior is very arrogant!
Yurang leaves.
Zhiyao quickly made the necessary arrangements to prevent the five thousand Qi army from going crazy.
At the same time, how could Zhiyao really give up twenty men to Yu? Even if they were soldiers, it would take at least several hundred to control the situation after they succeeded, especially after taking action, no matter whether they only captured Gao Wupi alone, they also had to
Control the rest of the nobles of Qi.
"No matter which book it is, you must figure out where you are going immediately." Zhiyao actually sent someone to keep an eye on it.
While Zhiyao was waiting for news from Yurang, Zilu arrested Fengtong.
Feng Tong, who became a prisoner again, felt that he was so unlucky. Who would have thought that the Jin army was fully prepared for the Qi army from the beginning, and he was caught when he reached the outskirts.
