When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 513: Wang Yan accepts disciples, wedge offensive

Although Wushuang ghosts are not as intelligent as ordinary people, they have perceptions beyond ordinary people.

Wushuang Ghost did not understand the art of war, but before the fight, he said that Sergeant Zhao was a fledgling and a weak brigade because he could not feel the murderous intention from Sergeant Zhao, and the battlefield lacked the murderous aura like gunpowder smoke. .

After being awakened by the Wushuang ghost, Wang Ben immediately took the Wushuang ghost to the front camp to inspect the Zhao army's formation surrounding the Qin army's camp. Even a newcomer like him, who was leading an army alone for the first time, could see the formation at a glance. There are some gold and jade in the formation, but they are defeated inside.

It seems that the military formation is tight, but there is a faint commotion among the soldiers in the formation. They are obviously young men who have not been trained for a long time. I am afraid it took a long time to form such an encircling military formation, and now it is even more difficult to maintain the military formation. Incessantly.

To put it bluntly, the people on the opposite side are a group of new recruits.

The people of Zhao are strong and strong in martial arts, so the Zhao army on the opposite side is a new soldier, but it is still powerful, but that is only the ability of a single soldier.

Not to mention how many levels of combat effectiveness can be exerted after encountering the enemy and seeing blood on the battlefield. The most important thing on the battlefield is by no means personal bravery. In addition to the force that can affect the situation of the battle with one person's power, the more important thing is a person's strength. Wu, Yishi, Yitun...the cooperation formed within each small group of the Qin army and between each other.

The Qin Army's Ying Lun calculates military merit in such a way that even every Qin Army soldier can form a separate team to cooperate.

The same ten people fight, and the ten people who can form a military formation and cooperate with each other can usually kill the ten people who have no cooperation and fight independently.

What's more, veteran soldiers who have seen blood and killed people on the battlefield, even if their physical fitness may not be as good as that of new soldiers, can still torture and kill new soldiers.

Combat effectiveness is not only the level of personal martial arts, but also includes many aspects such as psychological quality, experience, etc. Otherwise, veterans will not be the most popular in the armies of various countries, and the Wei State does not need to establish a military soldier system. The fastest way is for old soldiers to lead new soldiers. To cultivate the combat qualities of new recruits.

And what kind of soldiers are the [-] troops under Wang Ben's command?
Among them, 5000 are frontier troops who have been at war with Zhao Jun all year round. Needless to say, they have combat effectiveness.The other 1 people are armor-piercing soldiers who have been trained by Wang Jian. Their combat effectiveness has exceeded that of Lishan Camp, a veteran elite of the Qin Kingdom for hundreds of years.

Moreover, last year the Hundred-War Armor-Piercing Soldiers were also equipped with machine-operated crossbows developed by Gongshujia, which can load a certain number of crossbow arrows into the arrow magazine at the same time and shoot continuously without having to manually change arrows. This has become the standard equipment of the Hundred-War Armor-Piercing Soldiers.

Not only that, the Hundred-War Armor-Piercing Soldier is also equipped with a Hundred-War God crossbow with greater lethality and range, which can be quickly assembled by several skilled soldiers.

After the mother arrow is fired, the internal spring design can be used to separate the arrows into twenty sub-crossbows in mid-air.

Gongshujia built a total of [-] Hundred War God crossbows for Wang Jian, one hundred of which are now in Wang Ben's camp.

Coupled with the deep ditches and high fortresses that Wang Ben had dug and piled outside the Qin army's camp earlier, even if all 5000 men were wiped out, Wang Ben was confident that the trenches and camps would be filled with Zhao Jun's corpses.

After thinking about these things, Wang Ben suddenly didn't worry much anymore.

These new soldiers of the Zhao army can only fight in the field. If they use these new soldiers with no experience in attacking strongholds to attack the Qin army's camp, which is already equipped with many defensive facilities, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Even if they can capture it, their morale will be low. If the west route is If the main force of the Qin army attacks the Zhao army while waiting for work, the Zhao army will inevitably be defeated.

Therefore, Wang Jian's most reliable method is to stand still and let Wang Ben stimulate the Zhao army to fight a tough battle. His large camp has enough food and grass for a hundred days, which is enough to maintain a stalemate with the Zhao army here. If the stalemate continues, the Zhao army will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

At that time, he will destroy the morale of the Zhao army through defensive battles. Wang Jian will use him as the center to encircle the Zhao army. While waiting for work, even if he faces Li Mu, he will not be able to fight a decisive battle of annihilation!
He is now even looking forward to Zhao Jun coming to attack the enemy. This is not a place of death, it is clearly a place of blessing!

"Though I will die and live again, the ancients will not deceive me!"

Wang Ben laughed, and his laughter gradually infected the Qin soldiers on duty.

However, Wang Ben did not expect that Wang Jian, who had always been calm and steady in seeking victory, did not seem to be worried about his situation at all. In the end, when faced with this situation, he ended up being concerned and confused, and chose a more adventurous and radical option. strategy.

And on the southern battlefield five hundred miles away,

The direction of the battlefield was somewhat beyond Wang Ye's expectations, but it was still under control.

As a veteran general of the Zhao State, Hu Zhe knew that it was impossible for these [-] Zhao new soldiers to compete with the Qin army, which was always good at positional warfare, in the field, not to mention that the Qin army was twice as many as them.

Therefore, Huzhuo sent 3 people to meet the Zhao troops who escaped from Zhongmou and Yecheng, and then withdrew towards the Zhaonan Great Wall together with the Zhao troops in Pingyang and Wucheng. They would rather abandon the four cities decisively than fight with the Qin army.

However, after Wang Ye noticed Hu Zhuo's movements, he advanced faster than Hu Zhu and stopped a hundred thousand Zhao troops on the bank of Zhangshui River.

Hu Zhe led his army to attack the Qin army's defense line three times, but was repulsed all times.

"Humph, back then Lord Wu An surrounded 50 people with 45 people, and built that unprecedented encirclement network with a force ratio of almost one to one."

Wang Ye stood on a high place, looking at the Zhao army who was trying to surprise the Qin army to cross the river at night. His tiger eyes were full of pride. He pointed to Yang Wengzi beside him and said to the battlefield: "Although I don't have the ability of Lord Wu An, but with the same number of people If you can't just stop Zhao Jun from crossing the river, you won't be able to face Lord Wu An in the future."

"Yang Wengzi, take a good look at how I deploy my troops and generals."

Yang Wengzi was startled when he heard this.

Today's young and strong faction lacks generals who can command large armies in battle.

So far, only Zhang Ji has experience in commanding an army of 10 people, and only these older generation generals have experience in commanding an army of more than 10 people.

These experiences are completely different from those described in the book. They were learned by these veteran generals during their lifetime of leading troops in battles. They are more concrete and realistic than those in military books, and are extremely precious to young people like them.

Among the older generation generals of the Qin State, the one with the most experience in commanding large corps is none other than Wang Jue. He actually commanded 40 Qin troops to fight against top generals like Lian Po in Changping, and he also led Lian Po into battle. A fierce man who was defeated steadily.

Wang Ye's experience in commanding large corps is a great blessing for any military strategist and a temptation that no one can resist, but Yang Wengzi still hesitated for a moment.

"General, the general and I are neither relatives nor friends, so I should not accept this favor." Yang Wengzi gasped, trying to get rid of the temptation from his mind. Such a look of restraining desire and temptation fell in Wang Ye's eyes, but it made him angry. Wang Ye was even more satisfied, but this did not prevent Wang Ye from directly kicking Yang Wengzi down the small slope.

Yang Wengzi, who didn't understand why, protected his head and rolled down the slope, lying on the ground in a daze. He raised his head and looked up at Wang Ye on the slope.

This is a towering earth slope protruding from the ground. There is also a small slope above the earth slope. The height difference between the earth slope and the small slope is only more than ten feet. It will not hurt Yang Wengzi at all. At most, it will make him eat some dust. , looking miserable.

"Idiot, you know that you are not related to me, why don't you ask for something?" Wang Ye was very satisfied with Yang Wengzi's character, but he was a little dissatisfied with Yang Wengzi's slowness, and spat, "It's something you can't see."

Several generals on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud. Their own general almost had the word "apprentice" written on his face, but Yang Wengzi still didn't react. But Wang Yan has been proud all his life, except for Wu'an Jun Bai Qi. No one outside could make him bow his head, so how could he take the initiative to take on a disciple?

Elderly people want to save face!
A young general beside Yang Wengzi quickly helped him up, looking anxious.

He is Yang Xiong, Yang Wengzi's nephew. Although he is one generation behind Yang Wengzi, he is only five years younger than Yang Wengzi. After all, Yang Duanhe has a son from his old age.

Yang Xiong was more flexible than Yang Wengzi, and whispered in Yang Wengzi's ear: "Uncle, the old general intends to accept you as his disciple, hurry up and become a disciple!"

After that, regardless of the seniority of the uncle and nephew, a knee hit Yang Wengzi's leg joint hard. Yang Wengzi, who was hit hard by the sudden blow, immediately knelt down.

The sudden pain and Yang Xiong's words made Yang Wengzi finally react. He kowtowed to Wang Ye three times, but still said that the apprenticeship must be discussed with his father, Yang Duanhe, and he could not be so hasty. That would be disrespectful to Wang Ye. Ruan's disrespect was also Huayin Yang's discourtesy.

Looking at Yang Wengzi who was unable to get enough food and salt, the others remained silent, but Wang Ye, who had always been arrogant, was a little bit offended by this.

Respect in words and actions can be performed, but the respect shown by Yang Wengzi in the face of such a huge temptation appeared to be full of sincerity, making him truly feel Yang Wengzi's respect from the heart.

To put it simply, he really did what Yang Wengzi did.

"Huh, then study first and then become a disciple. Anyway, if your father dares to refuse, I will arrange for him to conquer the barbaric Dian Kingdom and Yelang!"

Wang Ye said harsh words in a cold voice. He was a great general of the country. He was now the oldest and most meritorious general among the active generals of the Qin Dynasty. However, he threatened like a child with a grudge. It was also shocking. All the generals and Xu The officials were all amazed.

"Why are you still kneeling down there? Come up and watch me command!"

Seemingly noticing the others snickering, Wang Ye let out a loud shout and took his anger out on Yang Wengzi.

"What Mr. Wu An is good at is the pincer-like offensive, the combination of right and wrong, and the combination of encirclement and annihilation, so as to achieve the tactics of encirclement and annihilation. It's a pity that I am stupid and have not learned it all." Wang Ye recalled the past when he served as deputy general under Mr. Wu An. time, he sighed, "But just the method of interleaving is enough for me to join the ranks of the top players in the world."

After saying this, Wang Ye looked at the situation between the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield, waved the command flag, and a 5000-man Qin army's assault cavalry broke into the weak spot of the Zhao army's formation, followed closely by [-] Qin troops wearing a thin coat. The Qin infantry in leather armor rushed in through the opening opened by the sudden cavalry, and then divided into two, one on the left and one on the right, and rushed into the flanks of the other two Zhao army formations.

No matter where the 5000 people were killed, the Qin army followed them in a short time and occupied the opening created by the 5000 people.

Those 5000 people were constantly interspersed in Zhao Jun's military formations, disrupting Zhao Jun's military formations from the flanks and behind many times.

The reason why the Zhao army was able to confront the Qin army was, firstly, because of the brave folk customs of the Zhao people, who were able to draw a draw with the Qin army in one go, and secondly, because of the advantage of the military formation to stabilize the battle line.

New recruits often don't know what to do on this chaotic battlefield. In fact, even low-level officers don't know how to fight. But in each military formation, they only need to obey the command of the mid-level officer in that military formation. That’s it.

However, the interspersing and detouring of the 5000 people are like a snake that has got into the skirt of clothes. It is impossible to catch it when it swims and slides, but it can give you a hard bite at any time. Zhao Jun’s military formations are here Under the interference and attacks of this group of troops, they were gradually disrupted and even dispersed, and Zhao Jun's combat effectiveness also gradually waned.

As the Zhao army's front completely collapsed, the defeated Zhao soldiers trampled on each other. In addition, the Zhao army had poor vision at night, and many people mistakenly mistook Pao Ze for the enemy in the panic during the defeat.

The Qin army was completely different. The Qin army had already changed the meal system to three meals a day and meat once every three days. More and more fruits and vegetables were supplied to the army. In terms of nutritional supplements, the Qin army far surpassed the Zhao army. The problem of night blindness was solved. In order to achieve a general improvement, at least Pao Ze will not be regarded as an enemy at close range.

After a night of fighting, the Qin army lost more than [-] soldiers, while the Zhao army lost nearly [-] people, many of whom died under the feet of their own people and in combat.

If Wang Jie had not been unwilling to continue taking risks in night battles, Zhao Jun's losses would have been at least [-] to [-] more.

However, considering that the Qin army of 20 men led by Tu Sui, Feng Wuze, Shejian, and Huanjue was chasing behind the Zhao army, as long as the [-] troops from the two sides joined forces, the Zhao army could be surrounded and annihilated here. Therefore, Wang Ye believed that there was no need to waste the lives of his soldiers fighting for those two or three days, and gave up continuing the pursuit to expand the victory.

Everything was as expected by Wang Ye. Although the position of the battlefield was deviated and the Zhao army was not drowned, it still achieved Wang Ye's expectation of encirclement and annihilation.

Four generals, Tu Sui, Feng Wuze, Shejian, and Huanjue, successively led their troops to the rear of the Zhao army. After three days of rest, with the Pingyang heavy armor army as the vanguard, the 20 Qin army launched a final attack on the Zhao army. It is also the most violent wave of offensive.

Unlike the Qin army, which had rested for three days and was full of energy, the Zhao army did not carry much dry food. On the day of the night battle with Wang Jie, the Zhao army had already exhausted all the dry food and then launched an attack. The Qin army had rested. Three days also means that Zhao Jun has been without food for three days.

In the eyes of the Qin soldiers, the exhausted, hungry and cold Zhao army was just a military merit thrown on the ground waiting for them to pick it up. They hunted Zhao soldiers all over the mountains and plains.

Many people even put their swords into their scabbards, used the Changge's shaft and scabbard to knock down the Zhao soldiers, and then captured them easily.

The weak Zhao army did not have much strength to resist. Beheading might also cause the weapons to curl up. It would be better to just knock him down with one move, which would be convenient and labor-saving, and gain more military merit.

Wang Jie was finally able to urge Wang Jian and Zhang Ji to march, and wrote in the battle report arrogantly.

"In the autumn and ninth month of the tenth year of the king's reign, I led my troops to attack Zhongmou, Ye, Pingyang, and Wucheng, and killed the Zhao general Hu Zou. He beheaded [-] people and captured [-] people. The southern frontier of Zhao State was opened."
