Royal Road

"Shangai is defending, and the enemy is starting to divide!" When the military information flew to the Cishi Mansion, many people were relieved.

The goal of the first battle was achieved. Youzhou has too many soldiers and horses, and it must not be allowed to go deep. First of all, we must cut a knife at the crossing of Xingdao to urge it to divide its forces. With the worries about the future, the front army can't fight too freely. Only in this way can it be achieved to lure the enemy into deep, without losing the active effect.

Liang Feng's expression was not much relaxed: "Order Zhang He to stand up and be sure to drag the enemy to Leping Country!"

The victory of Shangai was expected. In the era of cold weapons, the most effective means of restraining cavalry has always been a crossbow formation. This is how the Han Dynasty fought, and so did the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the battle of Zhaibao bows and crossbows was brought into full play. This means large quantities of logistical supplies and an overwhelming military-industrial system. To put it bluntly, it is a competition for comprehensive national strength.

Before there were cavalry of the same size, the Union State soldiers could only rely on this style of play if they wanted to resist the Youzhou Iron Cavalry. Shangai and Pili camp are quite extreme attempts. It’s just the crossbow configuration and the upgrade of the Thunderbolt gun, and I don’t know how much it costs. That big iron ball was also an improvement only made after several attempts.

The current industrial standard cannot produce artillery in any case. But the fundamental principle of any long-range weapon is to find ways to provide kinetic energy and launch projectiles. According to this idea, improving the trebuchet is the easiest way. The new type of blaster has been put into practice for more than two years, and the accuracy of the load, range, and ejection angle has all made great progress, which made it possible for future generations of position artillery.

It is not surprising that Shangai will win. The important thing is the next step after victory.

The castle mode is a magic weapon to resist cavalry. This is true, but there is an equally fatal problem. This style of play is defensive and cannot create effective kills at all. The cavalry's mobility is too strong, and the infantry is always passive in field operations. Once the opponent gives up the siege, it will be a real trouble.

If you want to divide the victory or defeat, you still have to rely on large groups to fight and defeat the enemy on the front battlefield. Zhang He, Ling Hu Kuang, and Tian Xun, who had just been promoted to general, were all good generals, but they ultimately lacked some ability to lead a battle of this scale. What they can do now is to drag the enemy army in Leping, so that Wang Jun has to increase his troops and strengthen the rear army. When the proportion reaches a certain level, Yiyan cuts into the heart and wins with one blow.

However, such a combat plan still poses a certain threat to Binzhou. Once something goes wrong, the loss of this battle will become an astonishing number. The stability of Taiyuan will also be seriously threatened.

I don't know what happened to Jizhou. I only hope that Wang Jun will recognize the threat of Bingzhou and continue to draw troops from Jizhou. Only in this way can we relax the restraint on Yi Yan and let his soldiers and horses give full play to their advantages.

In this battle, there is still a lot of trouble.

The war in Yuzhou is in danger, but the territory of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom is full of drums. Doctor Yu Shi was ordered to welcome a remnant army from afar in the suburbs.

After failing to assist the puppet emperor Sima Ying and Daying was defeated by Gou Xi, Wang Mi did not stay in Jingzhou or Yuzhou, and simply voted for the Xiongnu Han Kingdom. Wang Mi was born in Donglai, with a family of two thousand stones. Although his family is not comparable to the Wangs of Taiyuan and Langya, he can be regarded as behind the famous family. When he was young, he traveled in Luoyang and had close contacts with Liu Yuan who was a proton. Now that I have lost the battle and have nowhere to go, I naturally have to choose a new master.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yuan was very enthusiastic about his arrival. Not only did he send a doctor to greet him, but he also sent a letter saying that he would sweep the couch and treat him respectfully. After fighting for more than a year, Wang Mi suffered a bit from his support of 100,000 soldiers to less than 20,000 remnants now. Now Liu Yuan put down his posture and greeted him warmly, which made him extremely proud.

But no matter how self-satisfied, Wang Mi is also from a noble family, and he still understands the basic etiquette. On the same day, he entered Pingyang Palace and met the emperor of Han.

Liu Yuan also paid enough money. Before he finished his salute, he personally got down on the imperial couch and supported each other with his hands: "Widows are like generals like Zhou Gong. Today I know that I am Kongming and Zhonghua. Liezu has a cloud, I have a general, like a fish there is water!"

This is what Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang that year, and it has made Shu Han's eternal story. Rao is Wang Mi's cruel temperament, self-assertive, but also moved by the touched face.

In this way, you are modest, and the two also have a taste of mutual understanding between monarchs and ministers. After giving the seat, Liu Yuan wanted to designate Wang Mi as a lieutenant of the lieutenant, and serve as a servant. Knowing that he had no merit in Han, Wang Mi quickly pushed back: "Your Majesty has treated me so much, how can the ministers receive no merit? Now that the Jin Dynasty is in chaos, Gou Dao will lead his troops to attack the East Sea King, which is great. Opportunity! It is better to let the ministers 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 he can win, his position in Han will be untouchable.

Liu Yuan smiled softly: "The generals are so powerful that no one knows. But at this moment, if the Jin Dynasty is in chaos, if you encounter foreign enemies, you may stop fighting. It's better to take advantage of each other and move to another place!"

Wang Mi was taken aback, and immediately reacted: "Your Majesty is going to kill Xidu?"

This is naturally Chang'an. When Liu Yao captured Fengyi County, he had already opened the way to Yongzhou. Now it is Sima Yue's younger brother Simamo who guards Chang'an. If Chang'an can be captured, Guanzhong's fertile soil will fall into the hands of Han. 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 Huns!

Liu Yuan nodded happily: "It's Chang'an! When Yongzhou is captured, then Si and Yu will be taken, as if you are looking for something!"

This is Liu Yuan's plan. Sima Yue and Gou Xi have turned their backs and they are endlessly dying. Pengzu, the king of Youzhou, led his troops to the south and started the idea of ​​merging the state. No matter who wins or loses, this is a matter of the two tigers competing. Why don't he sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wait until both lose, and then ask for a favor?

So the best target now is Yongzhou and Chang'an. As long as they get Guanzhong, the Hongnong and Shangluo counties of Sizhou will be like no one. It's all right to hit Luoyang in one breath. Now that Wang Mi is also coming to vote for him, isn't it God's help?

Since it was Liu Yuan's order, Wang Mi, the new caster, wouldn't refuse to say anything, and agreed. At this time, the dispatch of Lieutenant Si Li came to his hands, and his younger brother Wang Zhang and his clan brother Wang Sang also had their own rewards.

One more person also received a great reward. That is Shi Le.

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 Shi Le's helpless action because his forces are too small. However, Wang Mi was very satisfied with his invincible record in Jizhou, and he also boasted in front of Liu Yuan. As a result, Shi Le also led five thousand soldiers and became the center forward of Wang Mi's department.

Gone are the days when tens of thousands of soldiers were led and everyone was called a general. However, Shi Le did not show frustration or dissatisfaction. In the Hun State, the most important thing is military merit. As long as you show your skills, why not be valued by Liu Yuan?

When he becomes the general again, it will be the day of revenge! This Jizhou must be leveled by him!

Three days later, led by Liu Yao and Wang Mi, with an army of 60,000 soldiers, they rushed toward Yongzhou violently!

"Wang Jun has begun to increase troops." Far away in Jizhou, the man whom Shi Le hated was paying attention to the situation.

Wang Jun was still quite sophisticated in his military use. He did not take out all the troops stationed in Jizhou, but left 20,000 soldiers to station in the front line of Changshan County. The intention is also quite clear, just to guard against Yi Yan, the current Captain of Jizhou.

Whether or not he really broke with Bingzhou, Yi Yan has become an existence that cannot be ignored. If it is true that Tongzhou falls out, it is best if the two do not help each other. If he intervenes in the war, seizes the opportunity to grab the Jizhou site, or even hits the Youzhou back road with a backhand, things will go bad. How can Wang Jun fail to guard?

Just because he knew Wang Jun's defensive posture, Yi Yan had been on hold for these days. This indifference also caused Wang Jun to temporarily let go of the idea of ​​attacking Zhao Jun, to avoid irritating him and adding variables.

However, this balance did not last long. Wang Jun has already begun to mobilize troops and horses in Jizhou to move closer to Changshan County, which is obviously due to the tight war in the state. Yi Yan knew the battle plan this time, and also understood the danger of lure the enemy deep, but he still couldn't use a single soldier, and he was suffering in his heart, as can be imagined.

Still have to endure. Every day, Yi Yan warned himself like this. It's not yet the best time. Only when Wang Jun increased his troops from Jicheng again, or retreated with his troops, is the best time. In the steep mountain road in Jingxing, there were actually soldiers in the village. The number of soldiers was very small, less than a hundred people. They were all elites trained by Yiyan to attack the city. Before, the Youzhou soldiers and horses were placed safely and steadily across the border, just for the unexpected seizure in the future.

Once the troops were dispatched, Jing Xing could immediately return to his hands. Defeat the rear road to the Liangdao and block the passage for the enemy to return to Youzhou. Then they drove them away and let the remnants fled back to Youzhou along the line of Yanmen. Just this way, I don’t know how many enemies it consumes. In addition, the Tuoba Department would not easily let the defeated troops go through the county on the return journey. Such a battle was enough to cause Wang Jun's muscles and bones to be severely injured, and Jizhou was returned to the lord!

It can take another month at most to achieve the result. For the goal, the price can not be exaggerated!

Just be patient.

There was no action on Yi Yan's side, not only Wang Ping, but also Ding Shao had never said anything about the battle of You Bin. Similarly, Sima Yue's order to transfer troops was also ignored by all the people in Jizhou. The situation is unknown, who would dare to jump out and stand up for Sima Yue? What if the emperor really ordered this new prime minister to fight against this bold and arrogant new prime minister?

Under this silent patience, Jizhou fell into a peaceful sleep 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 had expected that the chaotic but balanced situation suddenly changed overnight!
