The top leaders of the Jin Army and the Wu Army simply thought of going together and began to infiltrate each other on a small scale. As a result, both armies were attacked at night, causing commotion throughout the camp from time to time.
Night raids are the specialty of the Wu army. They have been doing this for more than a hundred years, and they played it most with the Chu army. Later, when the Chu army fought with the Wu army, they would always have to use two shifts to guard against those who might launch a sneak attack.
Wu Jun.
Zhiyao played a three-shift system. The entire army had a reasonable division of labor. One part attacked the Wu army, the second part defended the Wu army, and the third part slept.
Wu Jun's side still uses the old traditional two-shift system. Only some of the army go to bed first and some go to bed late. As a result, after dawn, most of the people look sleep-deprived and exhausted.
Zhiyao, who had not received the report, could more or less guess what was going on in the other two directions.
The Wei family still occupied part of the Wu army's camp, which showed that no matter what happened last night, they were not defeated anyway.
The Fox family did not enter Wu Jun's camp. They camped about five miles away from Wu Jun's camp. Seeing that there was smoke coming from the camp, it was obvious that they were also attacked at night last night.
"Logically speaking, the Hu family is the most obvious weak point. If Fu Cha wants to break out, it is most appropriate to choose the Hu family who is easiest to defeat. Based on Wu Jun's actions, it seems that he will choose the Hu family as a breakthrough point. But for such an obvious thing, Fu Chai will still do it.
Is that your choice?" Zhiyao just slept for two hours and then got up.
This is how it is when you are on an expedition. The higher your status, the harder it is to have a moment of rest. If there is any disturbance, you have to make a decision immediately. The quality of your sleep is definitely not guaranteed.
At this time, Yurang came over with the morning food.
In fact, it is just a bowl of millet porridge and some pickles.
Zhiyao ate this in the morning, while the rest of the soldiers ate greasy and meaty food.
It's not that Zhiyao is too self-disciplined, it's just that as a commander, he has to be careful. The other soldiers eat greasy and meaty food to ensure that their nutrition can keep up with their physical exertion.
To be honest, in the cold weapon era, it was best to eat with a big belly. An extra layer of fat would prevent the sharp blade from easily damaging the internal organs, and at the same time, you could survive longer after food was cut off.
On the other hand, if you are covered in tendons and flesh, you look quite fierce. If you are injured or deprived of food, you will not be able to struggle longer than a person with a big belly.
This can be confirmed from some of the portraits that have been passed down. The brave generals are all standard with a big belly, which is really not the style of tendons.
Zhiyao was eating, but actually the two armies were already fighting again.
The battle between the Jin army and the Wu army was different from that of other countries. From the beginning of the fight, they fought in a sticky manner, fighting at any time and anywhere.
It can only be said that Zhiyao knows his business and understands Wu Jun's combat thinking very well.
If the Jin army does not take the initiative to adopt such a tactics, what will happen is that the Wu army will seize the initiative and be made miserable.
"Will the Wu army attack the Hu clan?" Zhiyao asked.
In fact, there is no need to ask. If there are any new developments, someone will come to report urgently.
Yurang replied: "It seems that they are fighting all the time, but the Wu army has very few troops."
Zhiyao nodded, stopped talking, and swept away the food as quickly as possible.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhiyao, fully clothed, appeared on the battle line.
About two thousand soldiers of the Qi army were driven over by the Jin army. They were ordered to charge at the Wu army camp later.
The Qi army was commanded by officers from the Jin state, as well as a considerable number of military supervisors.
The soldiers of the Qi army who had lost their nobles and officers had no one to take the lead, or the people who wanted to take the lead did not have enough prestige. As a result, they were very resentful of the Jin army but did not dare to act rashly.
Zhiyao looked at the Qi army without formation, then at the Wu army camp opposite, and ordered: "Beat the drum!"
Bursts of drums were beaten.
The soldiers of the Qi army did not charge according to the order at first. It was the Jin officers who killed several Qi soldiers before the soldiers of the Qi army howled and started to charge.
Because there was no command structure, the Qi army did not have a formation and charged in a chaotic manner. An attack like this was simply to rush forward and die.
Fu Chai had listened to Feng Tong's report last night, and today he watched the Jin army drive the Qi army to charge, and some of his ideas were confirmed.
"Regardless of whether there is internal strife between the Jin army and the Qi army, Zhiyao was the decisive one to take action first." Fu Chai said to the surrounding ministers.
In other words, if Fucha encounters a similar situation, he will definitely make the same decision as Zhiyao, and even be more cruel than Zhiyao, tricking the Qi army into disarming and then killing them in batches without leaving anything behind.
future trouble.
Therefore, even though the war between Jin and Wu has officially begun, Fucha still admires Zhiyao very much. He has expressed his opinion many times since last night how great Zhiyao would be if he were a minister of Wu, blah blah blah.
"Your Majesty?" Feng Tong said cautiously: "Do you want to surrender the Qi army and be used by your Majesty?"
No, the Jin army has fallen out with the Qi army. Has Qi become a target that Wu can fight for?
Fu Chai certainly wanted to conquer the Qi army surrounding the battlefield.
Even though the Wu army was fighting with the Qi army before, and the Jin army turned against them, Fu Chai's chance of success in trying to win the Qi army to become an ally of the Wu army was not low.
After all, Wu State can only destroy Qi State's army and cannot occupy Qi State's land. If the conflict between Wu State and Qi State is compared with the threat between Jin State and Qi State, Jin State is obviously against Qi State.
More ambitious.
Someone has already done the work, but Fu Cha has not announced it. After hearing Feng Tong's suggestion, he thought: "Sure enough, Feng Tong still knows me!"
If Fu Cha wants to conquer the surrounding areas of the battlefield for his own use, it does not mean that he will let Qi go.
It is related to Wu's future northward pursuit of hegemony and weakening Qi. It is a national policy that will not change for Wu. Fucha knows this, and Wu's ministers understand that if Jin and Qi don't understand, it will be too much for Wu.
alright.
Two thousand Qi troops were driven to charge. After running for a distance, Jin officers were besieged. More and more Jin officers realized the danger and simply retreated. Later, Jin archers fired arrows at the Qi soldiers to drive them away.
.
This group of Qi soldiers are now in a situation where the Wu army is in front and the Jin army is behind them.
Fu Chai never thought of letting this group of Qi soldiers enter the camp. The order given to the army was to block and block again and kill any non-ones who came close to the camp.
To put it bluntly, the kings and ministers of Wu State like to use unconventional methods, and they must be afraid that others will do the same. If the Jin army sneaks into the camp with the Qi army and does not launch a strong attack at the beginning, they will use the method of sneaking into the camp and looking for opportunities to rise up.
, no matter how careful you are, you may be hit suddenly.
Zhiyao looked at the soldiers of the Qi army who were about to be killed and injured, and thought to herself: "Thankfully, I never thought of sending someone to pretend to be the Qi army and sneak into the Wu army camp, otherwise this wave would be in vain!"
Now it is not just the east that is fighting, the Wei's troops in the south and the Hu's troops in the west are also taking action.
There may be some surviving soldiers in the Qi army. They were injured and could only wait to die on the spot, pretending to be dead to see if they could find a chance to escape from the battlefield.
But right? If you play the trick of pretending to die on the battlefield, the enemy troops will kill them immediately if they find out, and your own troops will alert the others when they notice it. It is actually very difficult to play.
In the next few days, the Jin army and the Wu army maintained a state of fighting and fighting, and did not find any good opportunities for each other.
This is actually the normal state of war. Even if one side is besieged by the other side, the winner will still not be determined in the short term.
One day, the Wu army suddenly discovered that there was chaos within the Jin army. Soon they learned that it was the Qi army that had risen.
Fu Chai held an emergency meeting and asked, "Should we break out of the encirclement today?"
In the past period of time, they have mastered more information about the Jin army in the east, south and west. Where there is success, there will naturally be failures. For example, they have sent out a lot of manpower, but they have not been able to receive it for the time being.
Get information from outside.
There is no need to guess too much. There must be sentinels of the Jin army densely surrounding the area. If they are discovered, they will be chased by a large group of people. The Wu army's external communication will most likely be cut off.
Feng Tong said: "Or is Zhiyao using a trick to lure our army?"
Fu Chai also felt that way, but he was completely indifferent and felt it was a pity, so he suddenly fell into hesitation.
Zhan Ru said: "That's it. Just... maybe we can give it a try?"
They finally understood that it was one thing what the Jin army was like in the past, and the Jin army they fought did not follow the routine at all.
What do they feel like if you insist on telling them? There is always the illusion that they are fighting a civil war. The reason is of course that the fighting style adopted by the Jin army is almost the same as that of the Wu army, and they are even better at playing!
Fu Cha ordered many plans to strengthen measures, and sent Zhan Ru to try to counterattack.
Zhan Ru, who led his army into battle, successfully broke through the first front line of the Jin army. He was overjoyed and wanted to go deeper when he heard the sound of gold ringing from the rear.
This is not like the last time when Fu Chai agreed that sending gold was the signal to attack, but actually urged Zhan Ru to lead his army to retreat.
As for Zhiyao, she was surprised to see Wu Jun really counterattack at first. She found that the number of Wu troops fighting was not large and she knew what the situation was.
"Is Fu Chai too cautious?" Zhiyao knew that it was another day without a chance for a decisive battle.
Since Wu Jun was cautious, Zhiyao still wanted to eat Zhan Ru's troops, but as soon as a new order was issued, the sound of gold came from the opposite side.
"Is this an order to retreat or attack?" Zhiyao had not forgotten how the Wu army defeated the Qi army.
Everyone likes to do tricks, which will definitely make people suspicious when they encounter similar situations.
What's the situation now? It's probably like I predicted your prediction and made a corresponding prediction. As a result, the other party immediately knew the situation and took action.
"More and more Wu people are trying to escape recently, and there will always be some fish that slip through the net. They contact the rest of the company and will definitely transfer those troops over. With Fu Chai's nature, the chance of temporarily forming an alliance with Qi is infinite.
