Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Yue Fei's retreat made Duke Heng dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that the generals of Dayu's army were so stable. Judging from the situation just now, it was time to make a move, right? As a result, Dayu's army left just like that.

"General, should we pursue him?"

The equally confused deputy general couldn't help but ask.

At this time, the Qin army's chariot formation was ready.

This is a chariot formation composed of Great Qin warriors. It is extremely powerful. However, there is a lot of preparation work to be done before the war. The sudden attack limited their performance.

"Can I catch up?"

Duke Hao glanced at his subordinates and asked.

"If there were only Rui Shi, it would be possible to catch up."

The deputy general who was born in a royal family answered truthfully.

Da Qin's chariot formation is still very mobile. When launching the military formation, it is no slower than simple cavalry. However, there is a slight problem with flexibility, and it is not good at fighting in places with dense water networks.

"What about the other soldiers?"

Duke He did not answer his subordinates' questions directly, but asked rhetorically as if he loved his soldiers as much as his sons.

The deputy general stopped talking immediately, and the other soldiers around him looked moved.

The deputy general's intention was obviously to save the sharp soldiers and abandon the other soldiers. Because with the mobility of the chariot warriors, it is impossible for other soldiers to keep up. In this case, failure to keep up means being abandoned.

"The Yu army was able to attack us with such precise timing. Either they used their troops like gods, or they had some unknown investigation methods, or the Chu army used Han Xian's party plan to leak information in advance and force us to fight the Yu army. Get a chance to breathe. Before our army marched, South Korea actually occupied Chu Fang City and other defensive fortresses on the western front of Chu State. I guess South Korea and Yu State may have made deals with Chu State."

Duke Heng sneered.

As one of the three great generals of the Qin State at this time, Duke Heng's military exploits were only inferior to those of Meng Ao and Wang Lu. His ability and strategic vision were very good. At least defeating the Wei State without Lord Xinling was like chopping melons and vegetables.

Duke Heng's analysis was unanimously recognized by his generals.

Because not only their side was attacked, but the Qin army on the west bank of the Han River was also attacked by the superior force of the Yu army and was destroyed.

The one who presided over the offensive on the west bank of the Han River was the 50,000 trapped camp directly led by Gao Shun.

Gao Shun ordered the army to directly launch a strong attack after three waves of arrows.

Although the more than 10,000 Qin troops on the west bank of the Han River were able to form a military formation, they were disrupted by the baggage and could not form an effective formation. Secondly, they were consumed by the rain of arrows. Thirdly, their numbers fell into an absolute disadvantage. Finally, they were also formed into an army. After a fierce battle, more than 3,000 Qin troops were left and chose to surrender.

A large number of Yu troops appeared on both sides of the Han River at the same time. It is obvious that the Yu army had prepared enough troops and transportation equipment, and was ready to divide, encircle and defeat them one by one. The Qin army had already got into their pockets. , Jingling was the bait to attract the Qin army.

"How dare they!"

The lieutenant was furious.

Only Da Qin has ever deceived other countries. When did other countries dare to deceive Da Qin? Damn it!

Chu, South Korea, and Yu have ways to die!

"With the blockade of Dayu's navy, it is no longer realistic to attack Jingling to the east. It may also be difficult to cross the Han River to the west. Going south to the river is also a dead end. The only way to survive is to go north to Deng (Xiangyang). !”

Duke Hei expressed his thoughts.

The reason why Duke Hegong said so much before was purely to calm down the morale of the army and unify the will of the army. It was to enable the whole army to fight with him to Deng. As long as they reached Deng, this army would have a way to survive.

There is no need to even go to Deng. As long as they reach the opposite side of Yancheng, Dayu's army will not dare to pursue it. Otherwise, although Yancheng only has a small navy, as long as the shipwreck cuts off the river, Dayu's navy will be trapped to death. And if the Yu army and navy did not pursue them along the river, the Qin army could force the Han River to escape at any time.

"It all depends on the general's arrangement!"

The deputy general was very smart this time.

"The whole army, immediately pack up supplies and set off to the north. All the horses that died in the battle will be skinned and cut and their flesh will be taken with them. All the food will be gathered together and distributed uniformly. All large shields will also be brought, and all usable bows and crossbows will be taken with them." Bring them all, collect as many arrows as possible, and everyone take action immediately."

He Gongtiao ordered in an analytical manner.

Duke Heng obviously realized that the real enemy of the army might be hunger.

Since Dayu's army did not attack by force, they must have wanted to use hunger to force this army to surrender.

Didn't Wu'an Lord Bai Qi divide and surround the Zhao army, and finally forced the surrender of 400,000 Zhao troops through hunger?

Duke Heng was also an eyewitness to the Battle of Changping that year!

The actions of the Qin army were quickly detected by the Dayu army.

Yue Fei and others were impressed by Hung Gong's sophistication, but he would not be merciful.

Next, the Qin army began a desperate march.

Jingling has a dense network of rivers. Although many of the rivers and ships of the Yu army could not enter, the Yu army took the lead and captured a large number of small boats and destroyed bridges. This made it extremely difficult for the Qin army to pass. Of course, heavy armor could not swim through, and it was even more difficult for chariots and soldiers to pass.

The Qin army had to temporarily build a bridge.

However, whenever the Qin army wanted to build a bridge, the Yu army's cavalry would appear on the other side of the river, shoot and harass them and then retreat immediately.

The Qin army barely crossed several rivers, but lost more than a thousand men and was exhausted.

Duke He could only let the army camp to rest, but it was difficult to sleep at night.

Dayu's army will harass and attack in various ways.

After two days of this, the Qin army was on the verge of collapse.

On the night of the third day, Duke Hui suddenly made a shocking decision and took advantage of the darkness to kill a horseman and shoot at Jingling.

His tactics are excellent, but he is still under Yue Fei's surveillance.

Yue Fei's troops made arrangements calmly, and Duke Hui also made the final mobilization before the war.

He asked his lieutenant general to lead the sharp chariots to attack Jingling at all costs, while he personally led other soldiers and the wounded to the rear to block the pursuers.

Duke Heng declared that as long as Jingling was captured, the Yu army could be forced to fight the Qin army under Jingling City, and the Qin army would have a chance of survival.

Because he found that if the Yu army fought head-on, it would definitely not be the opponent of the Qin army. The Qin army's elite soldiers could definitely defeat ten of them.

The officers and soldiers were very moved, and the deputy general immediately led the troops to fight.

However, after the sharp soldiers left, Duke He directly ordered the remaining soldiers to take off their heavy armor, carry only a sword and a shield, and forcefully cross the Han River at night.

Naturally, Dayu's army's defense could not be comprehensive, not to mention that it was in the dark and Dayu's sharks were not there.

In the end, Duke Hao was able to escape and was found by Yang Duan and his troops.

Although Duke He escaped, the remaining warriors of the Qin army were surrounded on the bank of the Wuming River.

The Qin army asked for a battle but failed. The deputy general who was born in the royal family challenged the battle and was shot to death by random arrows. Finally, after the surrendered Qin army informed the besieged Qin army that they were regarded as abandoned by Duke He, there were about five thousand soldiers. Qin Ruishi was forced to surrender to Yue Fei's troops.

In this battle, Yue Fei's troops beheaded 25,000 people and captured more than 12,000 people in total.

Gao Shun's troops and Yue Fei's troops annihilated more than 30,000 enemies and captured more than 15,000 people, including Xiao Liuqian's Qin Rui Shi.

The Battle of Jingling ended with Dayu's victory.

Yue Fei's troops lost more than 10,000 men, most of them space cavalry. The main reason for the heavy losses was that Qin's crossbows were really powerful. Space soldiers without the protection of military formations could often be penetrated by one, even if they were trained by Yue Fei so hard. The Wei army was carried on its back, and it was also pierced with one arrow.

You know, the Beiwei army all have heavy armor.

The most basic function of the military formation, reflected on ordinary soldiers, is a bit like a shield, which can offset the additional damage of the enemy's military formation to a certain extent.

Although the level of military formations on both sides is similar, the presence or absence of military formations has little impact, but if there is a military formation or not, the difference is huge.

Even Yue Fei did not dare to confront Da Qin's military formation easily.

Gao Shun also led the most well-formed troops of Dayu's army with almost ten times the advantage to fight against a group of homeless dogs. It was not a frontal battle.

All in all, this victory is a strategic victory.

The Qin army was already plotted by the Yu army before they even started taking action. How could they remain undefeated?

At the tactical level, Haogong's performance was actually remarkable, with no obvious mistakes.

His biggest mistake was to cross the Han River by force. It was also caused by the Qin army's intelligence error and being deceived by the Chu state. It had little to do with Duke He.

To put it bluntly, the Qin State was ganged up on by Yu, Chu, and South Korea.

This battle was also the first time that the Dayu Army received first-class chariot units in an organized manner.

Although the chariots and soldiers were a burden in Jingling where there were dense water nets, on the plains they were truly a killer.

The Qin State's chariots and soldiers are definitely considered to be great weapons. They are not simple open-top two-wheeled chariots, but war machines made of mysterious runes passed down from ancient times and made of special materials.

When activated, the man, chariot and horse merge into one, forming a shield that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, protecting the man, chariot and horse. A shield collision angle will also be formed in front of the horse, regardless of who is holding a bow on the car. Whether it is a warrior or a warrior holding a halberd, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and it is completely like an ancient version of a tank.

Of course, if the chariot soldiers want to form a military formation, they need at least a hundred vehicles, and the early preparations are also relatively cumbersome.

Yue Fei planned to send these prisoners to Haojing in batches to do his part in cultivating Dayu's chariot soldiers.

Of course, it's not just chariots and soldiers. Chariots and soldiers can integrate humans, chariots and horses, so it should be easier to integrate humans and horses. This means that they are also of great help to Dong Huang's army in training cavalry that integrates humans and horses.

Compared with chariots and soldiers, whose controllability is still slightly insufficient, Yue Fei still feels that cavalry is more cost-effective.

The cavalry can leap over Tanxi River, but the chariot soldiers at this stage do not yet have this ability.

Duke Heng's defeat made Wang Lu furious. This was Qin's biggest defeat since Meng Ao's defeat.

Meng Ao's defeat is acceptable, after all, his opponent is Lord Xinling; but who is Duke Heng's opponent? Just a nobody who has never heard of it.

What made him even more angry was Chu's deception, which was even more unacceptable than defeat.

However, Wang Lu was obviously not qualified to deal with Duke Qi, and everything had to be arranged by the Dukes of the court. However, considering that Lu Buwei is actively wooing the military, the treatment for Hegong is likely to be the same as the treatment for Meng Ao. At most, it will be downgraded to a level, which will not have much impact. So Wang Hao had to be a good person.

After Wang He and Duke He reviewed the battle, they asked Duke He to command another 50,000 troops and Yang Duan's troops to attack Xiling, which was regarded as giving Duke He a chance to make meritorious deeds.

Wang Hao has already seen Dayu's plan in Yingdu. Dayu wants to use the continuous fortifications to limit the performance of the Qin army and consume the Qin army step by step. At the same time, because Jingling is controlled by Dayu's army, Dayu will Yu could threaten the food routes of Yan and Qin along the Han River.

To a certain extent, this is another way of luring the enemy deep into the enemy's territory and encircling them for reinforcements.

However, according to the previous battles, Dayu's land combat capabilities are very average, only stronger than Qin's auxiliary army. Victory relies on conspiracy rather than frontal combat, so there is no need to worry too much.

At worst, it would be better to build beacon towers along the river and build corridors to transport grain and grass, so as to ensure the safety of the back road. Perhaps, we can also send a force to build a city on the west bank of the Yancheng section of the Han River and on the channel between the Han River and Funiu Mountain, facing Yan City, directly blocking the possibility of the Yu army going north.

In short, in terms of grand strategy, Qin's problems are not big, but it is a bit time-consuming.

In fact, with the defeat of Duke Lu, Wang Lu no longer wanted to fight the Yu army here, which had absolute naval superiority. After all, the terrain here was not suitable for the Qin army to fight.

The Qin State was able to defeat the Chu State at that time because the King of Chu did not repair his armor on the one hand, and the most important aspect was that Lord Wu An Bai Qi was too fierce.

But Wang Hao came out with so many troops and already suffered a defeat. He couldn't really return without success, could he?

Wang Lu's idea was to save Wu County first.

Even if he saved Wu County and had a good record, it would be easier for Yingdu to explain.

Next, if you have the chance, look for opportunities to kill the main force of the Yu army in the field. If you don't have the chance, just delay it first. Or, the army goes directly to attack South Korea. Of course, the attack on Korea requires the decision of the central government, Duke Gunggun, but judging from the current situation, the central government may no longer be able to give up Yingdu.

[Perhaps we can recruit more auxiliary troops! 】

Wang Lu decided to ask for more cannon fodder.

Rui Shi can apply for more, but it won't be a big problem if the cannon fodder costs more than half a million.

At this stage, what is ultimately important is to achieve results. Only when you have achieved results can you make demands.

Therefore, when the Qin army's auxiliary troops stormed the defense line of Yuying capital, the Qin army diverted its troops to surround Xiling.

The people guarding Xiling in Dayu were the clan general Dong Cheng and the general Zhu Ran.

Dong Cheng was one of the eight clan generals who received the model of Cao Wei's Eight Tiger Cavalry. He received the model of Cao Ren, who was extremely good at guarding; Zhu Ran's most outstanding achievement in history was guarding Jiangling.

This is a duel between offense and defense, but the most important thing is that Dayu has the naval advantage and can support Xiling at any time, and can replace the wounded and replenish troops; it can also use waterways to go around to the rear of Ling Gong's army to cause trouble.

In the absence of Zhou Tai, Lu Xun, and Jiang Qin, the person responsible for the deployment of mobile defense of this line of troops and ships was none other than Meng Gong, known as the master of mobile defense. Meng Gong relied on rivers and other waterways to carry out mobile defense and attack. It was easy to come by, but it made Duke Hui sick.

In fact, as long as it is not a field battle, Dong Huangjun is not afraid of the Qin Army's military formation.

The previous defeat of Huang Zhong's army against the Chu army was also because Dayu did not have a sufficient understanding of Chu's most elite military formation; and all the troops consumed were space soldiers, so the losses of Huang Zhong's army were not very large.

And because of Dong Huang's crazy harvest in Yingzhou, the Yu army also had enough confidence to bite the bullet and fight Qin.

Big deal, spend another 10 billion!

Just maintain a good balance between the number of people and food!

The offensive and defensive battle in Xiling is in full swing, and the battle of Baidi City has officially begun.

In order to rescue Wujun, Meng Wu, who was not feeling hot, had to lead the Qin army assembled from Guanzhong, Chengdu and other places to advance by land and water directly towards Baidi City.

There is no doubt that Mengwu is fighting a political war, because since the army has arrived in Ba, there is no reason to stand still and allow Wujun to be captured.

In fact, Dayu's army would be so bold as to besiege Wujun, which was beyond Qin's expectation. The Qin State originally thought that the most that Dayu could do was attack Xiling and block the way out for the Qin army in Bashu. Who would have thought that Dayu's army would be so bold as to attack Wujun and penetrate deep into Bashu.

As for the land of Bashu, if the Dayu army couldn't get in when they attacked Xiling, they would have already entered when they attacked Wujun, and they would have to touch that layer of membrane!

There is no reason why Qin is not in a hurry.

But the location of Baidi City is really good. It perfectly protects the only route for Bashu to send troops to Jingxiang. Moreover, there is also Jiangxin Island, which is both inside and outside. It is really easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The only ones Meng Wu relied on were the Bashu garrisons in Chengdu and other places.

The reason for this is that these armies have a lot of experience in mountain combat in recent years, and even many Pakistanis have joined them.

Around the time when Dong Huang's army officially conquered Jiangdong, the war agents in Bashu formed an alliance through a series of connections. They wanted to control the Jiange, Jinniu Road and other important roads to prevent the main force of the Qin army from going south, and then capture the separatist Bashu.

It was not until Dong Huang entered Kuaiji Mountain to obtain Emperor Yu's legacy that he was almost beaten to death. An army of War Agents also attacked Shu Mountain and killed a large number of Yu Yuan's guards in Shu Mountain.

However, these war agents were quickly defeated by the Qin army who responded with overwhelming force.

At that time, after the Qin State encountered stubborn resistance at Jinniu Road and Jiange, it mobilized troops from Nanjun, Wujun, Qianzhong County and other places to pass through Ba and enter Shu to quell the rebellion.

Because the war agent failed to capture Ba, the Qin army was able to successfully enter Bashu from Badi. The next frontal battle was a one-sided massacre.

All the rebellious war agents, except for a few clever ones who fled to the land of Baipu or Qiang, were all killed. The cities of the war agents were all captured, and the accumulated wealth and women became the spoils of war for the Qin army. Male captives became slaves.

In the process of suppressing the rebellion of the Qin State, there were two families with the Ba surname that played a very important role. One of the two Ba surname families was the Ba family with the Feng surname, which was called Fengba; the other was the Ba family with the Ji surname, which was called Jiba.

The Ba family with the surname Feng is a descendant of Fuxi. This branch established the Kingdom of Cuba during the Xia Dynasty, with its capital at Chuyicheng (now Enshi, Hubei Province), and later moved to Danshan (now Xuyong, Sichuan), and then to Wushan during the Shang Dynasty.

Basi was so brave that he sang and danced to impress the Yin people, but his former disciples fell down. In old times, it was called "King Wu defeated Zhou, he sang and danced in front of him".

This paragraph is talking about the Ba people led by the Ba family named Feng.

However, perhaps seeing the power of the Ba people, the Zhou Dynasty began to cause mischief after the establishment of the Ba people, instigating civil strife and division among the Ba people, and enfeoffed the Zhou royal family members surnamed Ji to the country of Ba. This branch is the Ba family surnamed Ji.

The Ba family surnamed Ji could not effectively control the entire Ba country, so they could only rule together with the Ba family surnamed Feng and marry each other from generation to generation.

Later, the Chu people attacked the Ba Kingdom, and the Ba people split and migrated again. Finally, the Ba Kingdom was annexed by the Qin Kingdom, causing the Ba people to split into four parts. One part was near Dangqu, and the seven surnames of the Far Cuban people were the main ones, which were later called Xi. The first twins Dong Huang got, Pu Wan and Pu Yue, were from Jin people. Pu Hu, the father of these twins, was one of the leaders of the seven surnames.

Some of them are the Ba family with two surnames in Ba, Wushan and other places. Among them, the Ba family with the Ji surname has been moved to Xianyang.

Some of them were moved by the Chu people to between the Dabie Mountains and the Yangtze River (in Huanggang City) after the Chu State conquered Ba. They were called Wushui Man.

The last part was in Qianzhong County, which was later called Wuxi Man.

Closer to home, Fengba is good at business, can make cinnabar and mercury, has a large number of servants, and is said to be good at witchcraft.

Jiba had many transportation tools and ships. They mobilized the Ba people to help the Qin army with transportation, assisted the Qin army in defending Ba, and ultimately helped the Qin army win.

Erba's obedient performance caught the Qin army's attention, and Qin positioned Erba as an official and businessman.

Fengba only had three daughters, so he was given the title of head of the Fengba family; Jiba was knighted to his father and son, and his son Jibaxiao went to war with Mengwu as a naval general this time.

And Ji Baxiao has a fiancée from the Fengba family, named Fengbaqing.

"Qing'er, when I win this battle, I will go back to my hometown and marry you!"

Ji Baxiao looked at the clear river surface and thought of the girl named Qingqing in her hometown.

Seeking defeat before seeking victory.

The Mongolian military forces who had to fight this political battle used Defending Pass as their base camp, actively expanded Guan City, and hoarded grain and grass in case the navy was defeated and was cut off from the retreat and was trapped on the small land from Defending Pass to Baidi City.

Zhang Ren, Huo Jun, Huo Du, Wang Ping, Jia Kui, and the navy commander Zhou Tai turned a blind eye to the Qin army's actions, and only concentrated on building the city and stocking up on food and weapons. They also looked like they were going to fight a protracted war; In private, he had already figured out the hydrological conditions when the general arrived in Pakistan, as well as the number of ships and equipment of the Qin army.

The Yu army is really not in a hurry. Qianzhong County and the southern Hunan area have not yet been digested. Wu County has not been defeated. Yingdu is still fighting. The Yu army simply does not have enough spare power and energy to expand the war. .

In the end, Meng Wu couldn't hold on anymore.

The central government cannot tolerate the loss of another Wujun, because this will directly threaten Bashu, which is regarded as the rear area by the Qin State. Moreover, Lu Buwei has just taken power, giving Meng Ao a chance to make up for his mistakes. As his son, Meng Wu is both emotional and rational. Gotta make some achievements.

Mengwu ordered the army to launch a tentative attack on the strongholds around Baidi City. As a result, the vanguard troops fell into Zhang Ren's trick of luring the enemy deep and were ambushed and shot by Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren, who was good at ambushes and arrow formations, was also a beneficiary of Korea's Gongzheng Army Formation. He also found his way out, and he was at home in such a land of high mountains and valleys.

After the failure of the first battle, Meng Wu personally commanded the army to attack, but the advantage of the mountainous terrain was difficult to use. The Dayu army relied on the terrain and fortifications to resist tenaciously, with many trebuchets and crossbow formations set up on the hillside. The army is simply difficult to deploy.

The Qin army could only bite hard, but the losses would be huge.

Seeing that the war was not going well, Ji Baxiao, who had always wanted to show off, proposed the idea of ​​using fire boats to attack Dayu's navy first. After gaining the water advantage, he would directly send troops to the rear of Baidi City and encircle Baidi City from both sides.

Meng Wu decided to give it a try.

However, try and die.

Mengwu collected 200 boats to serve as fireships, approached Baidi City's Jiangxin Island at night, lit a fire, and allowed the fireships to float down the river.

However, the soldiers of the Qin army who lit the fire were directly cut into pieces by the sharks and others after entering the water. The fire ship was also controlled by the sharks, avoiding the Yu navy and drifting downstream.

At the same time, Dayu's army lit a fire on Jiangxin Island, making it look like the navy was being burned.

As expected, the navy of the Qin army fell into the trap. The navy rushed down the river to take advantage of the situation to capture Jiangxin Island. However, they were surrounded by Dayu's superior navy. The Qin navy was caught off guard and was defeated.

Zhou Tai's formation killed dozens of Qin navy generals including Ji Baxiao.

The naval force compiled and trained by Qin State in Ba was completely wiped out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Wu retreated to defend the pass, but Dong Huang's army did not pursue him on the road. Instead, the navy fleet went upstream, threatening the defender's retreat. A navy even rushed directly to Ba On the river, the Qin army's water stronghold was burned, and they surrounded Bacheng to show off their power.

Bacheng was shocked three times a day.

When Jingling and Baidi City achieved great victories one after another, Dong Huang, day after day, finally achieved great victory on the giant salamander.

Dong Huang first concealed the death of Jing Salamander's boss and took control of his body, defeating Jing Salamander's spiritual defense, and then combined Baiyue's special incense and the Yin Yang family's special elixir to start a month-long relationship. As soon as a household was established, the poor Jingli went from being closed and closed to narrow doors and narrow doors, and finally to opening doors, doors, holes, and openings to a large family, completely taking on the shape of Dong Huang.

After all, the giant salamander who could only splash water was no match for the ferocious and scorching sun breath of the Sun God Bird. I don't know if he was dreaming or waking up, but he had become Dong Huang's loyal subordinate in a daze.

It's just a little bit over-developed.

If you go too far, you can omit a million-word essay.

It can only be said that the more aloof and cold, the more dissolute;

The purer it is, the more contrast it has.

You deserve to have this giant salamander that splashes into the water at the slightest touch.
