Chapter 464: Recalling the old things

Popular Recommendations: Zhutian: The Sims’ Beast Control starting from the Pillar Destruction: The pet beast is just a bond for me, Emperor Lin Hongmeng

The original troops who arrived at "Xinzheng" did not camp in a centralized manner. They originally controlled some traffic arteries and favorable terrain. Later, as reinforcements continued to arrive, they seized more traffic arteries and dangerous terrain.

Not to mention that the 150,000 original army surrounded "Xinzheng", there were not many routes left for the Chu army and the Zheng army to come to support. Many routes were deliberately left by the original army to the Chu army or the Zheng army.

The Chu army or the Zheng army that had been coming for reinforcements were repeatedly destroyed. The top leaders of the two countries finally came to their senses and sent a large number of manpower to contact all parties. Most of them died under the hunting and killing of the original army scouts.

After contacting the Chu or Zheng people in the rear, they requested that the troops coming to support no longer enter the "Xinzheng" battlefield in batches, and conveyed the order from the top leaders of the two countries to require local reinforcements to assemble into a large scale before marching.

Because the original army has the advantage in control, the Chu army or the Zheng army will be counterattacked immediately if they send troops from the "Xinzheng" city.

For example, when about 10,000 Chu troops came out of the east gate of "Xinzheng", they failed to attack directly on the high slope where the original monarchs and ministers were. Not long after leaving the city, they were covered by a rain of arrows from the original army's archers and crossbowmen.

Pushed up.

The Chu army or Zheng army in other directions were also blocked by the original army.

Therefore, no matter what the top leaders of Chu and Zheng wanted to do, they succeeded in causing "Xinzheng", which had been peaceful for more than half a month, to break out into a war again.

Zhiyao stared at the killing arena and said: "The number of enemy armor-clad soldiers has increased slightly? There are also many shield-holders!"

Last year, under the rain of arrows from the original army, a large number of Chu or Zheng troops would fall.

Apparently the Chu Army and the Zheng Army had learned enough lessons. While trying to increase their armor, they also deployed shields on a large scale. It must be said that it still played some role, so that they would not have no armor to penetrate and no shield in their hands, and they would be covered with arrows from the original army.

Able to use flesh and blood to meet arrows.

Most of the Chu and Zheng armies used shields with a wooden structure. They could block arrows from a long distance without penetrating, but a closer distance would definitely cause a penetrating effect.

Zhiyao could see that although the Chu Army and Zheng Army had some defensive effect on the long-range troops of the original army because they held shields, the soldiers of Chu Army and Zheng Army needed to hold a gun in one hand and a shield in the other, which made their movements very inconvenient.

, the restrictions after entering the melee combat state become greater.

The battle took place two to three hundred meters away on a high slope. The monarchs and ministers of the original country all had telescopes in their hands. It was almost like soldiers from both sides were fighting in front of their eyes. You could see the ferocious looks on the soldiers' faces, and you could also see the sharp weapons destroying the bodies and flying out.

of blood flowers.

In a cold weapon battle, it is extremely easy to lose an arm or calf. Another area that is most vulnerable to damage is the ear. Therefore, soldiers with incomplete limbs were very common in ancient times, and people with military service experience were also prone to losing their right ears.

It's a bit funny and cruel to say. Once upon a time, the Fan family of the Jin Dynasty had a huge business in prosthetic limbs, selling leg supports for support.

That is one of Zhan Ge's main attack methods is the hook. If the hook hits the neck, the head will definitely be lost. The hook that is most likely to be hit is the left ear; the lower leg will be the main target. If you hook hard, the flesh and blood will be damaged.

, it is so strong that even the muscles and bones cannot bear it.

"Now, the enemy's combat power has increased?" Hu You was also on the battlefield of Xinzheng last year.

How should I put it? Last year, if the Chu army or the Zheng army were in an unfavorable situation, they would have fled in small groups.

Now, of course, the original army is the dominant side, but there is no sign of the Chu army or the Zheng army fleeing.

Hu Jie said: "A hundred battles will lead to an army."

This is the answer.

Last year's soldiers of the Chu army may have been recruited to make up the numbers. They may not have even had rough training and were simply armed farmers.

If you can survive from last year to this year and are in the military, the price you paid with your blood will be cherished even more. If there are officers willing to teach and soldiers themselves willing to learn, their quality will definitely be improved.

It takes a certain degree of vision to distinguish the enemy from the chaotic battlefield. Anyway, the monarchs and ministers of the original country on the high slope must have had that vision.

Zhiyao had his own perception. When he first led the troops, both sides fought in formations. It was a battle of formations. Only more than 20 years later, the battle became a mixture of the enemy and ourselves.

.

This is undoubtedly due to a serious decline in the quality of the troops, to the point where they can no longer even fight in formation.

Of course, it is most likely that the battle broke out too hastily, and neither side had time to set up their formation.

"Your Majesty's order has been conveyed." Sima Ranju had just left for a while.

Zhiyao nodded and said he understood.

Han Geng and Hu Jie, who noticed the interaction between Zhi Yao and Sima Ranju, looked at each other.

"What's going on?" Hu Jie asked in a low voice.

Sima Ranju smiled and said: "Today the enemy is going to war, or to break through for peripheral reinforcements."

After hearing this answer, Han Geng thought to himself: "Yes, unless our army can be defeated, 'Xinzheng' will not be able to be relieved at all. They are making a big noise to create opportunities for peripheral reinforcements."

So far, the Chu and Zheng troops gathered on the periphery already numbered 70,000 to 80,000. They were simply one step behind the original army and did not rush to the "Xin Zheng" city before the reinforcements from the original army arrived.

The original army knew where the 70,000 to 80,000 coalition troops were, and they knew with their knees that they could not let them go. If the coalition forces wanted to reach the city of Xinzheng, they must form a linkage with the trapped friendly forces.

To put it bluntly, the larger the scale of the military deployment, the wider the battlefield involved. It seems that the battle of "Xinzheng" broke out, and the surrounding cities were also war zones.

In the past, the most intense fighting was not on the "Xinzheng" side, but on the contrary, it was in the surrounding cities.

The so-called advantage of the original army included the occupation of some cities around "Xinzheng", and even more villages were controlled or occupied.

These places under the military control of the original army became obstacles for the Chu army or the Zheng army to advance towards "Xinzheng".

Therefore, if the Chu army and the Zheng army did not take back the cities or villages controlled by the original army along the way, even if they successfully reached "Xinzheng", they would only increase the number of people besieged by the original army.

Zhiyao led people back to the military tent and came to a huge sand table.

The sand table appears very anciently, and it existed before Zhiyao made it anyway.

The sand table made by the former army was very precise. From this alone, it can be seen that the geographical advantage belonging to the Zheng army has been lost.

You can see many flags planted on the sand table. The red ones represent the original army, the dark green ones represent the Chu army, and the light green ones represent the Zheng army. These are also the colors of the shirts worn by soldiers in the armies of the three countries.

One thing I have to say is that under Zheng Guo's nationwide mobilization, the vast majority of the soldiers who participated in the war did not have standard uniforms, and 20 to 30 percent did not even have decent weapons.

The Chu State mobilized 300,000 to 400,000 people, and the soldiers also did not have unified uniforms. In fact, they had never achieved unified uniforms since the founding of the country, but they did manage to have one weapon in each hand.

In the previous Jin Dynasty, no matter how many soldiers were mobilized, the style of the shirts may be different, but the color must be red, which shows enough background in a certain aspect.

Now in the original country, the uniforms have been unified and all adopt the style of the Zhi family. The weapons are still a mix of gold and US dollars (bronze). Some of the people who still use US gold weapons are the Han family, the Fox family, and the Zhong family. The others include

The Zhi family and other families all changed to evil gold.

The reason why the Han family, the Hu family and the Zhong family have not completely changed their equipment is not because Zhiyao does not want to sell it, but mainly because these three families are too big compared to the other non-public families. They will not have the financial resources to completely change their equipment for a while, and they will not be able to completely change their equipment.

Willing to accept the credit provided by Chi's.

This year, the Yuan Kingdom mobilized 150,000 troops to go south. In terms of training level, the standing army of the Zhi family is naturally the highest, and the others are almost the same.

Among the four legions, only one legion is fully staffed and equipped with cloth face armor. The armor wearing rate of the remaining three legions should be about 30%. Based on the paper armor that Zhishi has been eliminating and the armors made by each.

Most of them are wood armor and bamboo armor.

Battle reports from all over the place are constantly being sent in. The top leaders of Chu and Zheng made such an outburst today, perhaps with the intention of trying to catch the original monarchs and ministers, and more to make a big fuss in "Xinzheng" to attract the original.

The attention of the monarch and his ministers creates opportunities for breakthroughs for the peripheral coalition forces.

"So, there are 70,000 enemy troops in Xinzheng alone participating in the war?" Sima Ranju looked thoughtful when he got the answer.

Their original plan was to set a trap and eat the coalition forces south of "Xinzheng", turning "Xinzheng" into an isolated city in the true sense.

Now, in "Xinzheng" alone, more than 70,000 coalition troops are fighting with the original army. It can be seen that the intention of Chu and Zheng to contain the main force of the original army is too obvious, and the fighting will of the soldiers of the two countries also appears to be more united.

That's because the Chu and Zheng people who were trapped in "Xinzheng" knew one thing very well. Without reinforcements, there was no hope of victory. Knowing this, they must know that they should unite and fight hard if they want to survive.

"Your Majesty, the Song army may have left and returned," Sima Rangju said.

Zhiyao said: "I always pay attention to the movements of the Song army, and there are also scouts patrolling. I will definitely know if there is any change."

It’s not that they never thought about opening up a hole to give the Chu and Zheng people hope to escape. However, "Xinzheng" is not only a turtle shell, but also the main battlefield selected by Chu and Zheng. It means that the original army did not follow "Xinzheng"

"If they evacuate, it is impossible for the Chu army or the Zheng army to leave "Xinzheng".

The battlefield situation that took place in "Xinzheng" was too obvious, and there was almost no room for ingenuity and tactics. The development of the war could only be determined by the hard work of the soldiers from the two camps to determine the direction of the war.

Hu Jie couldn't hold it any longer and asked, "Your Majesty, when shall we set off?"

what?

According to the established arrangement, Hu Jie should lead a legion south into the Chu State, and play a central role in the Chu State like last year, further damaging the morale of the Chu people and weakening the war potential of the Chu State.

Zhiyao's eyes moved to Hu Jie and asked, "If You Nan goes down, is that okay?"

To be honest, Hu Jie is too old. It is a bit dangerous to travel long distances and spend energy to direct operations!

When the time comes, if something happens to Hu Jie, it is hard to say that he died in the battle. Regardless of whether the Hu family will feel resentful or not, the original country will owe a lot to the Hu family.

"This..." Hu Jie understood what Zhiyao meant. He didn't have to be the commander-in-chief of the south, and it also gave Hu You the opportunity to make contributions.

Hu You saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I am going south!"

Zhiyao seemed overbearing and did not give Hu Jie a chance to speak. He laughed a few times and said: "In this way, Xu Wu is the 'general', especially, Hu is the 'assistant'. If there is nothing else, we can go south in seven days."

."

The tiger is not Yang Hu, but Han Geng’s son Han Hu.

Zhi Xuwu, who was standing aside, was very happy that he could take the leading role, but reminded him: "Your Majesty, the movements of the Song army are still unknown."

Sima Ranju answered on his behalf and said: "Chu and Zheng are acting like this. If there is any movement in the Song army, it should be within seven days."

Song State mobilized again and again, and the assembled troops reached 80,000.

Zhiyao did not take the Song Kingdom seriously. Although he valued it in his heart, it did not mean that he would put pressure on his subordinates in words and deeds. He said with a smile: "I captured the land of Cao. Song Jun was afraid of me and did not dare to send troops. Now,

The few soldiers marched south, and the Song Dynasty formed an alliance with Chu and Zheng. They must have hesitated in their hearts, worrying that I was pointing the finger at them, and that there would be room for war with me."

The Song State had a good relationship with the Yuan State in the past. The two sides had not fought before last year. There was no deep hatred. It was just that the Yuan State was too powerful and it chose to side with the Chu State. How determined was the Song State to fight to the death with the Yuan State?

, anyway, the determination will not be stronger than that of Chu and Zheng.

Under Zhiyao's order, Zaiyu from the Yuan Kingdom has gone to "Shangqiu" to find someone to exchange knowledge with.

Zaiyu's real goal is to interfere with the decision-making made by the Song State. The reason for not having the Song State's center to intervene is too realistic. The Song State only formed an alliance with the Chu State, Zheng State, and Yue State last year. It is impossible to break the alliance as soon as the alliance is formed. All that can be done is to let

The top officials of the Song Dynasty were hesitant about how far they wanted to go against the Yuan Kingdom. It was obviously one of the feasible options to make good friends with the Dukes of the Song Dynasty and then let the Dukes of the Song Dynasty influence the court.

What kind of opponents did Zaiyu have in the Song Dynasty? Maybe they were brothers from the same school, and one of them was Zigong.

Everyone saw that Zhiyao was so confident, and based on their understanding of the Song Dynasty, they felt that this was what happened.

On the "Xinzheng" side, after the war started that day, the fighting was the most intense on the first day. The intensity of the fighting in the following days fluctuated, depending on the progress of the breakthrough of the peripheral Chu-Zheng coalition forces.

On the sixth day, a Chu team supporting the festival appeared. They were intercepted and told that they were on an envoy mission, and they met Zhiyao himself safely.

The person serving as the envoy of Chu State was Dou Huai, who was considered an old friend of Zhiyao.

"Greetings to Yuan Jun on behalf of my king." Dou Huai had no shortage of etiquette, but he followed the etiquette of the Chu people.

There are no two days in the sky or something? Zhiyao did not correct Dou Huai's title to Chu Junzhong and motioned for him to sit down.

Dou Huai just sat down and then stood up, saluted again and said: "A few years ago, the original emperor proposed that the north and the south should stand side by side..." What followed was a long list of nostalgic reminiscences.

After talking for about half a quarter of an hour, Dou Huai asked: "I wonder if Mr. Yuan still has this intention?"

If it were a monarch with a more upright personality, he would probably laugh at the Chu State for being so whimsical, and what qualifications it has now to stand side by side with the original state.

Zhiyao made a thoughtful expression, and after a while he said: "The Chu State is the overlord of the south, and the Yuan State is the overlord of the Central Plains. Earlier, I was willing to divide the Zheng State equally with the Chu State. Is it okay to propose a parallel relationship again? Now

The situation has changed suddenly. If the Chu State is really sincere, why not offer 'Xin Zheng' and the others, and the Chu King will be able to return home safely."
