Chapter 367 [Run, Brother Next]
The Wei State camp, which was stagnated by the Bin River, stretched for nearly a hundred miles, and was spectacular. Next to the commander's tent in the middle, stood hundreds of Wei Wushangs wearing iron armor. Everyone was nine feet tall, with a serious face, and a big "wei" embroidered on their chests. This was not the dependent army of the Wei State, but the elite of the Wei State, the Wushang who was hit by Wushang, and Wang Zishen's personal bodyguard.
The thousands of generals and ten thousand generals with colorful helmets on their heads were shuttled into the tent and paid homage. From time to time, some people were screamed and pulled out to spank heavily, and even pulled out to chop their heads. Prince Shen Zhi's army was almost as strict as Pang Juan.
From time to time outside the camp, groups of carrier pigeons would be seen flying, and at the same time, there would be five, six, seven or eight people to move in groups, bringing in news from outside and spreading Wang Zishen's news. There was really no way. There were already many birds of prey in the air these days, and as soon as the Qin army entered the Wei territory, the number of eagles and falcons flying around was doubled compared to usual. To ensure smooth communication, the number of pigeon flocks could only be relied on. The Qin people's method of raising eagles was secret, but Wang Zishen had tried it, but he was almost scratched by the eagles.
"Now, news from all parties has gathered. Bai Dong's army should be less than 200,000, and it may not be all elites of the old Qin. It is estimated that half of them are the useless troops of Qin. He gathered 50,000 or 60,000 people under Changping City and attacked the city every day, but the offensive was not fierce, making people wonder what it was. Most of the other troops were in the dense mountains and forests north of Zhaoling, east of Yancheng, and west of Changping... Weird, it's really strange. If someone else uses troops, he should find a way to arrive at Zhao State as soon as possible and join forces with the Zhao army to attack Pang Juan. But he came to attack our territory boldly. Moreover, the troops were so scattered, and there seemed to be no enterprising spirit. What was this going to be done? I can't understand it, what did the prince think?"
On the other hand, the righteous young master Ang sat side by side with Wei Shen in the commander's tent. Seeing a thousand-man lord who had missed the military order and was dragged out of the tent. He knew that with his nephew's methods, this person would never survive. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The nephew said that he looked down on Pang Juan the most, but he imitated Pang Juan's methods of marching and governing the army. The soldiers were naturally merciless, but they might not have to learn from Pang Juan's cruelty, right? Pang Juan had many military achievements to support, and the whole army was naturally silent. Although you are the prince of Wei, your prestige is definitely not as good as Pang Juan...
"Haha, Uncle Wang said he couldn't understand Bai Dong's use of troops, because you looked too arrogant. This person was just being smart and thought that taking the initiative to attack our country would make Pang Juan and Long Jia retreat from Zhao State? It's really whimsical! With the strength of our Great Wei, even if we go to war with two or three countries at the same time, we can dominate the situation and win the battle! He must have seen Changping's solidity and difficulty, and was afraid that our army would come to support him. Then he made up his mind not to fight our army, and only attacked Changping with tens of thousands of people, but he hid the main force..."
"Oh? The prince thought Bai Dong wanted to hide his main force?"
"Isn't this simple? Qin agreed to aid Zhao State and raise half of the troops. It was originally a delusion to succeed. However, Bai Dong was not a general's material after all. After all, he found that the situation was unscrupulous, so he wanted to withdraw his troops. He was afraid that he would be ridiculed by the people of the world and had no credit. So he hid the main force, thinking that he would deal with my Great Wei for a few days, and then he would not lose face if he used Chu State to withdraw his troops. Hehe... Bai Dong is a good person to make money, and he can create new words and new poetry. I was very impressed by him, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, he is an amateur and a coward. Ying Quliang is really inhumane. He just gave me the opportunity to make achievements with my uncle. As long as he defeated Bai Dong in this battle, Pang Juan would not dare to be arrogant in front of us anymore!"
Speaking of his compliment, Wei Shen laughed unconsciously, waved his hand to signal two handsome and romantic men to sing and dance, and then expanded the map and studied the current situation with more than a dozen ten thousand-man masters to discuss how to destroy all the enemies under Changping City in one fell swoop; seeing his leisurely posture, he seemed to be a talented person who was both entertaining and working.
"Will Bai Dong be such a useless person?"
Young Master Ang shook his head, unable to believe Wei Shen's judgment; however, Bai Dong's use of troops was indeed incredible. When the army first entered the Wei territory, it should concentrate its strength to take the first place. He could not set a firm foothold, but disperse the army and attacked Changping in an empty attack. No matter how you look at it, it seems that you are acting. No wonder Wei Shen looked down on this famous Bai Zi.
"Haha, if Uncle Wang doesn't believe it, after our army gathers in Changping, we will first break the Qin army outside the city, and then destroy Bai Dong's main force. At that time, I will ask my father to order and lead the army to enter Qin, so as to teach the princes of the world that the dignity of Wei cannot be provoked!"
Wei Shen smiled coldly: "Fei Ge sent orders the troops to keep Wei Tu and his army slowly in the rear to protect the food, forage and supplies, the other five armies and the prince's central army must arrive at the city of Changping within one day, cooperate with the inside and outside, and eliminate the Qin army besieged in the besieged city!"
"promise!"
The messenger passed his orders one after another. In just half a cup of tea, countless carrier pigeons would be passed to the armies. At that time, 400,000 troops gathered in Changping, and the Qin army would be defeated!
***
The morning sun shines through the dense forests and shines on the central army camp in Baidong. This green military tent is like the military tent of thousands of Qin soldiers, hidden in the dense forests of mountains and forests. There are also many thatchs and vines used for disguise outside the tent. Not to mention that there are no decent reconnaissance methods in this era, even if Wei State has reconnaissance aircraft, it is difficult to find the hidden Qin army.
Bai Dong held a bowl of hot bean juice that had just been out of the pot, and he sniffed when he had time. Then he looked at the generals in the army who were lying beside the mud plate with a smile, frowned and thoughtful look. Occasionally, he faced the doubtful eyes of Gongzi Qian, and did not take the initiative to explain. The essence of modern mobile warfare lies in the quality of soldiers, and the cognition and control of generals, and the latter is more important. This is not something that can be accepted by direct indoctrination. They should have a process of asking questions and thinking and analyzing.
Facing a group of old Qin generals who had no understanding of modern war ideas and were very stubborn, Bai Dong did not have much pressure; the environment of ancient wars and modern wars was completely different. The ancients were used to fighting in battles. For example, if they wanted to fight the enemy's capital, then the important counties along the way must be taken down, otherwise logistics support would become a problem, and they might become an isolated army at any time, once they became an isolated army. They did not know how to pull the enemy, and then they looked for an opportunity to jump out of the encirclement and bite the enemy. They would only line up to defend and wait for assistance or seek a death to the death together...
Even famous generals like Pang Juan and Sun Bin can hardly understand the power of mobile warfare. This is simply wonderful. No one has such a thinking mode, so he will be easier to play. Moreover, Bai Dong is different from the later generations. The Wei army does not have a mechanized army with American equipment. Instead, Lao Qin was equipped with a cluster of arrows forged by horseshoes and new metals early on. Now he is ahead of the enemy in terms of thought and the enemy in terms of equipment. As long as the generals of Lao Qin are not extremely stupid, will they still lose to those Wei troops who only pay attention to one city and one place? That is a huge joke.
The complex terrain and backward strategic thinking of this era gave Bai Dong a chance to try. Although he was not as talented as that of the ancestor, he was facing a group of ancient people who had never seen mobile warfare. The tolerance and tolerance were so high that it could allow Gongziqian and others to verify the war in war, and they had doubts to sincerely agree with it, so he is not afraid of doubt now.
"Are the general sure to use troops like this? You need to know that the army is defeated like a mountain, let alone Wei Shen's strength is more than twice as strong as me? Do you want your uncle to escape after withdrawing from Changping? The other party has divided his troops from seven groups, as if he cast a big net, and the general is sure that he can run out?"
Prince Qian frowned slightly, but did not rush to object. Bai Dong said that eliminating the blood disaster for him could really eliminate it. This is not a mortal method, so although Bai Dong felt a little whimsical, he could still tolerate it for the time being; Zi'an's temper was the most urgent, not to mention that half of the 20,000 cavalrymen of Prince Shaoguan were elite soldiers he worked hard in Lantian. Now he is inexplicably about to become a defeated army. How can he tolerate it?
"It's good to be defeated, but we are not defeated, but we have to rely on rapid movement to mobilize the enemy..."
Bai Dong smiled and said, "The military information from the Siqing Department is very detailed. The Wei army attacked seven routes. Except for the Wei Tu army that wanted to protect the logistics and logistics troops and the food transport route, they just advanced slowly, the other six routes rely on the city official road to block the important passages they believed from all sides. It is precisely because of this that our army has given room for maneuver. Please look at this mud plate. If the Wei State wants to destroy our army, it must use Yan, Changping, Anmen and Anling as the four pillar corners to block this land of thousands of miles. Is 400,000 people enough? Of course, it is enough under normal circumstances, because whenever a large army enters the enemy territory, it may be We will fight with all our might to defend the city, or set up camp and camp to meet the enemy with the main army. We must also worry about the supply and transportation of food and supplies in the rear. Even if there is a radius of thousands of miles to be used for maneuvering, no general dares to lead the army to move in a large scale, and do not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place. The Wei army thought that our army would be the same, so we are not afraid of not being able to surround our army and then forcing us to fight to the decisive battle. At that time, we will defeat our army with twice the strength of the troops. This battle will be settled... But our army will run away, not to have a city and a pool, and no matter what logistics and food routes, if tens of thousands of troops are just going to escape, can the only 400,000 Wei troops be surrounded?"
"The 20,000 people of the young master's young official are just bait to lure the enemy. The 20,000 people are equipped with 40,000 war horses with horses with horses. Two of them have three horses, and another horse is only carrying food and grass. They can travel 300 miles a day, and there is no need to worry about shortage of food! The Wei people cannot catch up with them. If they want to send a large army to siege, then my main force can jump behind the enemy at any time, avoid its main force, and attack its weak brigade. We don't have to be too greedy. Eat three or five thousand people in one battle, and ten battles will be 30,000 to 50,000 people. After one hundred battles, that is 300,000. Isn't Wei Shen 400,000? Is it eaten up sooner or later for him!"
"Can you fight like this?"
Che Yingzi'an looked at the Nipan blankly, trying to refute Bai Dong, but he felt that this "mobile war" was really powerful. At present, the Qin army was fighting at the Wei people's homes, and it would not be distressed if it broke bottles and jars or something. It was like a mouse running around, looking for opportunities to steal something to eat at any time, and maybe even bite him. If he was Wei Shen, how would he deal with it? Will he launch a large army to siege? Wei is also a heavy armored military soldier and a heavy military chariot. Where can more than half of the Qin army run away? This time, the Qin army did not even carry a chariot. The most were strong bows, hard crossbows and war horses nailed to horseshoes. I was afraid that as I ran, I would find a gap for the Qin army to easily jump out of the encirclement.
But it would not work if it didn't attack. If the 400,000 Wei troops did not attack the only 100,000 Qin troops, would it be strange if Wei Shen didn't hurt him.
It’s not right to attack, nor is it not right to attack? No matter how you look at it, the Wei army is too burdened, but the Qin army is relaxed. It’s strange, how could this feel? Not to mention Che Yingzi'an, even people like Gongziqian who are both civil and military can’t understand it.
"It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. When we run, we will naturally enjoy the fun of "escape". It turns out that the most painful thing in this world is the chasers..."
Bai Dong smiled and took the latest military information from the messenger and said, "The latest information has arrived, so what about the seven armies of Wei Shen? Now their every move is in our control. We are using flying eagles to deliver the letter, but the Wei State uses carrier pigeons. With this alone, we are more than one step ahead of them. Even if we want to lose this battle, it is difficult..." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
