Royal Road - Chapter 265

[Chapter 264 | City]

“Shangai has been defended, and the enemy has begun to divide its troops!” When the military information flew to the governor’s mansion, many people were relieved.

The goal of the first battle was achieved.

Youzhou has too many soldiers and horses, so they must not be allowed to go deep.

First, cut a knife at Xingdaokou to urge him to divide his troops.

With the concerns of the back road, the front army can’t fight too freely, so as to lure the enemy into the depths without losing the effect of the initiative.

However, Liang Feng’s expression was not much more relaxed: “I ordered Zhang He to stand by and be sure to drag the enemy army to Leping Country!”

Shangai’s victory was expected.

In the age of cold weapons, the most effective means of restraining cavalry has always been the crossbow array.

This was the case in the Han Dynasty, and so was the Tang Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, Zhaibao bow|crossbow combat was brought to the extreme.

This means massive logistical supplies and an overwhelming military-industrial system.

To put it bluntly, it is a competition of comprehensive national strength.

Before there were no cavalry of the same size, the Bingzhou soldiers could only rely on this style of play if they wanted to defend against the Youzhou iron cavalry.

Shangai and Perak Camp were quite an extreme attempt.

Just the crossbow | bow configuration and thunderbolt upgrade, I don’t know how much it cost.

That big iron ball was only improved after several attempts.

At the current industrial level, no artillery can be built anyway.

But the fundamental principle of any long-range weapon is to find a way to provide kinetic energy and launch projectiles.

According to this idea, improving the trebuchet is the easiest way.

The new Thunderbolt Cannon has been put into practice for more than two years, and the accuracy of the load, range and projection angle have all developed by leaps and bounds, making it possible for the positional artillery battle in future generations.

It is not surprising that Shangai will win.

What matters is the next steps after the victory.

Castle mode is a magic weapon against cavalry, which is true, but there is an equally fatal problem.

This style of play is defensive and cannot produce effective damage at all.

The cavalry’s mobility is too strong, and the infantry is always passive in field operations. Once the opponent abandons the siege, it will be a real trouble.

If you want to win or lose, you still have to rely on large groups to fight and defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield.

Zhang He, Linghu Kuang, and Tian Xun, who had just been promoted to general, were all good generals, but leading a battle of this scale ultimately lacked some ability.

All they can do now is to drag the enemy army to Leping, so that Wang Jun has to increase his troops and strengthen the strength of the rear army.

When the specific gravity reaches a certain level, Yiyan cuts into the heart and wins with one blow.

However, such a combat plan is still threatening to Bingzhou.

Once something goes wrong, the loss of this battle will become a staggering number.

The stability of Taiyuan will also be seriously threatened.

I don’t know what’s going on in Jizhou.

I just hope that Wang Jun can recognize the threat of Bingzhou and continue to withdraw troops from Jizhou.

Only in this way can he relax the restraint on Yi Yan and let his soldiers and horses have the greatest advantage.

This battle, there is still to boil.

※

Darkness and smoke of gunpowder are everywhere, and the battle situation in Yuzhou is in danger.

The imperial censor ordered to welcome a remnant army from afar in the suburbs.

After assisting the pseudo-emperor Sima Ying failed and the camp was defeated by Gou Xi, Wang Mi did not stay in Jingzhou and Yuzhou for much, and simply surrendered to the Huns and Han.

Wang Mi was born in Donglai, with an aristocratic family of 2,000 stones. Although his family was not comparable to that of the Taiyuan and Langya kings, he could be regarded as a famous family.

When he was young, he traveled in Luoyang and had a close relationship with Liu Yuan, who was a proton.

Now that the battle has been defeated and there is nowhere to go, it is natural to choose a new master.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yuan was very enthusiastic about his arrival. Not only did he send a censor to greet him, but he also sent a letter saying that he would clean the couch and treat the general with respect.

After fighting for more than a year, Wang Mi also suffered a lot from having 100,000 troops to now with less than 20,000 remaining soldiers.

Now Liu Yuan put down his posture and greeted him warmly, which made him extremely proud.

But no matter how complacent, Wang Mi was also from a noble family, and he still knew the basic etiquette.

On the same day, he entered the Pingyang Palace to meet the emperor of the Han kingdom.

Liu Yuan also paid enough money, and before he finished his salute, he got off the imperial couch in person and supported each other with his hands: “The widow originally said that the general was like Duke Zhou, but now it is known that it is my Kongming and Zhonghua. Liezu has a cloud, My generals are like fish with water!”

This is what Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang back then, and it became a story of Shu Han through the ages.

Rao Shi Wang Mi was ruthless and self-willed, and his face was moved by his moved face.

In this way, you are humble and I let them go, and the two of them have a bit of a taste for each other.

After conferring the throne, Liu Yuan wanted to make Wang Mi the commander of the Sili School, and added a servant to the middle.

Knowing that there is still no meritorious service to the Han state, Wang Mi quickly dismissed it: “Your Majesty treats me so well, how can a small minister accept it without merit? Now that Jin is in civil strife, Gou Dao will lead his troops to attack the King of Donghai, which is very good. Opportunity! It’s better to let Weichen lead the troops and capture the four states of Jing, Yu, Yan, and Qing!”

Wang Mi said this with some confidence.

His family is in Qingzhou, and he has fought in Jingzhou and Yuzhou for a year and a half, and he is very familiar with these states.

If it can be captured, his position in the Han state will be untouchable.

Liu Yuan smiled softly: “The generals are powerful, and few people know it. But at this moment, Jin is in chaos. If there are foreign enemies, maybe they will stop and fight against each other. It is better to take advantage of them to fight against each other and turn to attack other places!”

Wang Miyi I was stunned, and immediately reacted: “Your Majesty wants to attack Xidu?”

This is naturally Chang’an.

When Liu Yao captured Feng Yi County, the road to Yongzhou had already been opened.

It is Sima Yue’s younger brother Sima Mo who is guarding Chang’an now.

If Chang’an can be conquered, the fertile soil in Guanzhong will fall into the hands of the Han state.

This is a big piece of land!

What’s more, there are hundreds of thousands of Qiang and Di scattered in Yongzhou, which should be used by the Xiongnu!

Liu Yuan nodded happily: “It’s Chang’an! After capturing Yongzhou, and then taking Si and Yu, it’s like finding things in a bag!”

This was Liu Yuan’s plan.

Sima Yue and Gou Xi have turned against each other and will never die.

Pengzu, the king of Youzhou, led his troops to the south again and came up with the idea of Bingzhou.

No matter who wins or loses, this is a matter of two tigers fighting each other.

Why doesn’t he sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wait until both sides are hurt, and then ask for a bargain?

Therefore, the best targets now are Yongzhou and Chang’an.

As long as Guanzhong is obtained, the two counties of Hongnong and Shangluo in Sizhou will be like no one.

It is also possible to hit Luoyang in one breath.

Now Wang Mi is also coming to vote for him, isn’t it God’s help?

Since it was Liu Yuan’s order, Wang Mi, who was newly cast, would not refuse no matter what, and agreed.

At this time, the commander of the Sili Commander was in his hands, and the younger brother Wang Zhang and the clan younger brother Wang Sang were also rewarded.

One other person was also rewarded.

That is Schiller.

After the defeat of Jizhou, Shi Le thought about it, and finally voted for Wang Mi and went to Pingyang with him.

This is also the reason that Shi Le’s troops are too few and helpless.

However, Wang Mi was very satisfied with his invincible record in Jizhou, and he boasted in front of Liu Yuan.

As a result, Shi Le also led 5,000 soldiers and became the center forward of Wang Mi’s army.

Gone are the days when he led tens of thousands of troops and everyone was called a general.

But Schiller showed no frustration or dissatisfaction.

In the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms, the most important thing is military merit.

As long as he shows his skills, why is he not valued by Liu Yuan?

When he becomes the general again, it will be the day of revenge!

This Jizhou must be pacified by him!

Three days later, led by Liu Yao and Wang Mi, the army numbered 60,000 and rushed towards Yongzhou!

※

“Wang Jun has started to increase his troops.” Far away in Jizhou, the person who was hated by Shi Le was paying attention to the situation at hand.

Wang Jun’s use of troops is still quite sophisticated. He did not remove all the troops stationed in Jizhou, but left 20,000 troops to be stationed in the front line of Changshan County.

The intention is quite clear, just to guard against Yi Yan, the current commander of Jizhou.

Whether or not he really broke with Bingzhou, Yiyan has become an existence that cannot be ignored.

If they really fell out with Bingzhou, it would be best if they didn’t help each other.

If he intervenes in the war, takes the opportunity to grab Jizhou territory, or even hits backhand and attacks the back road of Youzhou, things will be bad.

How could Wang Jun not be on guard?

It is precisely because he is aware of Wang Jun’s precautionary attitude that Yi Yan has been holding his troops in motion these days.

This indifference also made Wang Jun temporarily put down the idea of attacking Zhao County, so as to avoid angering him and increase the uncertainty.

However, this balance did not last long.

Wang Jun has already begun to mobilize the troops and horses of Jizhou to move closer to Changshan County. Obviously, the war in Bingzhou is tight.

Yiyan knew the battle plan this time, and also understood the danger of lure the enemy deep, but he was still unable to use one soldier and one soldier, and he was suffering, one can imagine.

Have to be patient.

Every day, Yi Yan is admonishing himself like this.

Not the best time yet.

Only when Wang Jun increases his troops from Jicheng again, or withdraws his troops and retreats, is the best time.

In the steep mountain road in Jingxing, there are actually also soldiers, with very few people, less than a hundred people.

Before, the peaceful and steady release of Youzhou troops and horses to cross the border was precisely for the unexpected capture in the future.

Once the troops are launched, Jingxing can immediately return to his hands.

Defeat the back road and block the passage of the enemy back to Youzhou.

He then drove off on horseback and let the remnants flee back to Youzhou along the Yanmen line.

Just this way, I don’t know how many enemies it consumes.

In addition, they had to pass through Dai County on the return journey, so Tuoba’s troops would not easily let go of the defeated soldiers.

Such a battle was enough to severely injure Wang Jun’s muscles and bones, and Jizhou would return to the lord!

It can take up to one more month to achieve results.

For the goal, what kind of price is not exaggerated!

Just be patient.

Yi Yan didn’t move here, not only Wang Ping, but even Ding Shao never said anything about the Battle of You Bing.

Similarly, Sima Yue’s order to deploy troops was also ignored by Jizhou.

The situation is unclear, who dares to jump out and open eyes for Sima Yue?

What if the emperor really has an order to crusade this bold and arrogant new prime minister?

Under this silent patience, Jizhou fell into a slumber like a beast that had just fought fiercely.

The three wars are going on at the same time, and the situation in this world seems to have become treacherous.

However, no one expected that the chaotic yet balanced situation would suddenly change overnight!
