Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 557

What's more, the 20 cavalry also carried [-] horses, which was a standard "one man with two horses" configuration.

A 20 war horse carrying [-] catties of explosives is simply a piece of cake.

Zhao Kuo smiled lightly and said, "This time, we are fighting against the gap in tactics and information! The people of Chu State thought that we would fight them head-on, but we just wanted to get into their stomachs.

The people of Chu thought that we could not break through their city, so we took explosives to Shouchun!At that time, we will have to see whether the Chu people can win or we can win! "

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, all the people present looked at Zhao Kuo, and they could only use the word worship to describe it.

This kind of genius-like plan is simply too awesome!Everyone said in unison: "My lord, I will take orders!"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Then what are you doing in a daze, go back and get ready.

Daliang City is the last stop of our supplies, let the soldiers bring all the supplies, and officially set off tomorrow, to surprise the people of Chu! "

Looking at the figures of the generals leaving, Zhao Kuo smiled.

This plan was indeed thought up by Zhao Kuo, but it was not a plan that Zhao Kuo had just slapped his head out of thin air.

A plan that comes out of nowhere, but implemented without detailed argumentation, will fail in all likelihood.

Zhao Kuo's example of this battle has been referenced.

Reference who?

Lord Wu'an of the State of Qin Bai Qi!In Bai Qi's famous "Battle of Yan and Ying", this Lord Wu'an led [-] partial troops from Wuguan of the Qin State, taking advantage of the main force of the Chu army in Qianzhong County to face off against the general Sima Cuo of the Qin army, and went south like lightning all the way. They directly attacked the city of Yandu, the companion capital of Chu State.

The Chu people were caught off guard and could only defend Yandu.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qi dug a "Bai Qi Canal" directly, and a flood flooded Yandu, drowning hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of Chu State.

Afterwards, Bai Qi crossed Yandu and continued southward, heading straight to Yingdu, the capital of Chu State that had been in operation for 800 years.

Upon hearing the news, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu Kingdom were in chaos, and King Chu Qingxiang, the then monarch of the Chu Kingdom, was so frightened that he fled Yingdu directly and ran all the way to Chencheng.

Bai Qi took advantage of the situation to conquer Yingdu and brought the 800-year-old capital of Chu State under the rule of Qin State.

After this battle, Bai Qi, who was originally titled by Daliang, was officially conferred the title of Lord Wu'an by King Zhaoxiang of Qin!This idea of ​​Zhao Kuo was inspired by Bai Qi.

Bai Qi also bypassed the main force of the Chu State back then and went straight to the capital of the Chu State, which coincided with Zhao Kuo.

It's just that Bai Qi didn't have any explosives, so he asked the soldiers to dig a canal for several months, and the river water was drawn to wash away Yandu.

Zhao Kuo didn't need to bother so much when he had explosives. He only needed to bury a few hundred catties of explosives and everything would be done in an instant.

And fighting like Zhao Kuo did not need to drown tens of thousands of people and cause so many murders.

You must know that after the death of several 10 people in Yandu, Qin State established Nanjun here, and the people of Chu State madly launched a rebellion in anger. In the end, Qin State killed nearly one-tenth of the population of Nanjun, which took seven or eight years. It was only in this time that all the rebellions were finally suppressed.

Zhao Kuo didn't have time to spend seven or eight years suppressing the rebellion after destroying the Chu state. With that time, he would have gone to Central Asia and even Eastern Europe.

“So, people still need to read more about history.

Not only can you avoid many big pits, but you can also find a lot of inspiration for yourself! "

Zhao Kuo said something to himself, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

This thing, in fact, does not mean that if you have an idea, you will definitely win.

In history, there was another person who wanted to fight like this when targeting Chu, and this person was Li Xin, the general who Qin Shihuang placed high hopes on.

Li Xin also adopted the policy of going directly to the hinterland of Chu State. However, Li Xin was not good at learning skills. He met Xiang Yan, an old general of Chu State, and was beaten by Xiang Yan.

After Li Xin's defeat, Qin Shihuang had no choice but to invite veteran Wang Jian, and it was only by Wang Jian that the Chu State was destroyed.

Therefore, strategy belongs to strategy, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is still up to the commander to adapt to the situation. It does not mean that you will definitely win if you make a plan.

All in all, Zhao Kuo was in a very good mood this day!The next day, Zhao Kuo led the army to leave Daliang, and went south quickly with lightning speed.

Of course, this news was soon known to the decision-makers of the Chu army who had arrived in Chencheng.

At the military meeting, Jingyang had an expression of "I have seen through Zhao Kuo a long time ago", and said very happily: "This Zhao Kuo should be able to appear outside Chencheng soon, and it is not out of our control at all." Unexpected.

Hmph, the so-called No. [-] army god in the world, Wu Xinjun, is nothing more than that! "

Regarding Jingyang's words, the generals of Chu State present showed expressions of approval.

These Chu generals all agreed that Zhao Kuo should go to Chencheng to seek a decisive battle with the Chu army.

Only Chun Shenjun, the general of the Chu Kingdom, frowned after thinking for a while and said, "Although that is the case, it is a very unusual signal that Lord Wu Xin has all cavalry this time.

The old man was thinking, could it be that he had some strange plan? "

After Jingyang heard this, he immediately became a little unhappy.

In Jingyang's mind, this should be Chun Shenjun's old problem again, and he started to tear down Jingyang's balcony.

Jingyang thinks that everyone has already agreed to help each other in dealing with Zhao Kuo, and it's not interesting for you to come to tear down my platform, isn't it?

So Jingyang immediately retorted: "Mr. Chunshen, what you said is wrong. As far as I know, the reason why Zhao Kuo has all brought cavalry is because he is worried about changes in Handan.

Once there is a change in Handan, he can run back to the town as soon as he is full of cavalry, right?

Moreover, when it comes to fighting head-on, doesn't he have the Chi You army, so he feels that he is also very strong, worthy of us.

But what he didn't expect was that we won't fight him this time!It doesn't matter what Chiyou army or Yanhuang army, as long as they can't fight, what's the use of being strong? "

Looking at Jingyang who was talking eloquently, Jun Shen hesitated to speak.

To be honest, Chunshen Jun really has a bad premonition in his mind, but Jingyang has already talked about this, if Chunshenjun continues to speak, it will appear that he is deliberately arguing with Jingyang Find fault.

The current situation in Chu State can be called a national crisis. Chunshenjun and Jingyang had reached an agreement to help each other, so Chunshenjun hesitated for a while, but in the end he did not continue to argue with Jingyang on this occasion.

Jun Shen thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then let's ask the scouts to be more careful and investigate Zhao Kuo's whereabouts."

If Mr. Chunshen wanted to come, even if Zhao Kuo didn't come to Chencheng, he should choose to harass other places on the Chu border, trying to force the main force of the Chu army to take the initiative to fight Zhao Kuo.

If that was the case, the main force of the Chu army only needed to stand still. Anyway, Lord Chunshen had already ordered the cities and villages on the border to be vigilant.

Taking a step back, even if it is for Zhao Kuo to break through a few border cities of Chu State, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Anyway, the real killer on Chu State's side is the Qin army in Handan and the western front.

Seeing Chunshenjun make a concession, Jingyang also smiled happily: "Chunshenjun, I also understand your concerns, but don't worry, it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Kuo to make any disturbances." of.

This time, we have seen him through! "

When Jingyang said this, he was full of confidence!Afterwards, successive news began to spread to the headquarters of the Chu Army in Chencheng.

The first news report: "Zhao Kuo has led a hundred thousand Zhao troops and has surrounded Yang Xia!"

Regarding this, Jingyang was very calm: "Yangxia is the only way for Zhao Kuo to go to Chencheng, so what if he surrounds Yangxia?

There are [-] defenders on Yangxia's side, plus [-] to [-] soldiers and civilians, it is impossible for his cavalry to break through Yangxia City. "

However, only half a day later, the second news came back.

"Zhao Kuo has conquered Yangxia City!"

Jingyang was stunned.

After several seconds, Jingyang shouted angrily: "How is this possible!"

Not only Jingyang, but other high-ranking Chu army members including Chun Shenjun were also suspicious.

According to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for a city with [-] to [-] soldiers and civilians and [-] defenders to be conquered after only defending for half a day.

Not to mention the 20 cavalry with almost no heavy armor and heavy siege equipment, even [-] infantry with heavy armor and heavy siege equipment, it is impossible to conquer Yangxia City in half a day!Jun Shen couldn't help but asked, "How did Zhao Kuo do it?"

To this, the scout replied: "It is said that Zhao Kuo used an extremely powerful weapon to instantly collapse the walls of Yangxia City, and then the cavalry directly attacked the city."

After hearing this answer, Jingyang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Let the walls of Yangxia City collapse in an instant, and then the cavalry invade the city?

Hahaha, you mean that Zhao Kuo actually controlled the power of the earth dragon to turn over? "

Dilong turning over is actually the saying about earthquakes in this era.

In the eyes of people in this era, the power of the earth dragon turning over belongs to the gods, and it is the gods who are punishing human beings.

Can Zhao Kuo control the power of the gods?

Even thinking about it makes it impossible.

Faced with Jingyang's doubts, the scouts had nothing to say, but Chunshen Jun seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that there were similar rumors when Linzi City was destroyed last year."

Qu Feng at the side also said: "It's true.

Could it be that Zhao Guoren really controlled a powerful weapon? "

Jingyang still didn't take it seriously, and said: "Isn't there already a public opinion on the matter of Linzi City?

That is the bad luck of the people of Qi, who happened to meet Dilong turning over!Therefore, the state of Qi is doomed to perish by heaven, and cannot escape. "

Chunshen Jundao: "If Linzi City is also transformed by Earth Dragon, and Yangxia City is also transformed by Earth Dragon, this is too much of a coincidence, isn't it?

This continuous coincidence is fine, but every time Zhao Jun comes to attack the city, this kind of coincidence happens, the probability is simply too low. "

After Chun Shenjun said these words, Jingyang opened his mouth and found that there was no way to refute.

Yeah, how could it be such a coincidence every time?

But in any case, Jingyang would definitely not admit his mistake at this time, so this meeting broke up unhappy.

Two days later, new news came.

"Zhao Kuo has led the army to surround Ku County!"

After hearing the news, both Chun Shenjun and Jingyang had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Jingyang couldn't help but said, "Why did you go to Ku County?

Is there a mistake? "

Ku County is located about seventy miles due east of Chencheng. Shouldn’t Zhao Kuo come to Chencheng? Why did he go there?

Before Jingyang could confirm the authenticity of the information, new news came again: "Zhao Kuo has conquered Ku County, and it only took less than an hour!"

As soon as the news came out, the Chu army headquarters fell silent.

Jingyang couldn't believe it at all: "You conquered Kuxian in an hour?"

Although Ku County is not as good as Yangxia City, it still has more than 3000 defenders and [-] to [-] residents. This is actually an hour?

Chunshen Jun's face became completely solemn: "Ku County was breached, could it be that the city wall suddenly collapsed inexplicably?"

The scout smiled wryly: "Hui Junhou, that's exactly the case! According to the report from our scouts present, after a burst of fire and thunder, the city wall of Kuxian collapsed all of a sudden!"

Chun Shenjun: ""Jingyang: ""Other generals of the Chu Army: ""At this moment, the headquarters of the Chu Army is eerily quiet!After a long time, Chun Shenjun said in a helpless voice: "It seems that the previous situation is really correct. Wu Xinjun really has an extremely powerful weapon that can break through the city wall in a short time!"

This time, facing the iron-clad facts, Jingyang didn't object any more.

Suddenly, Jingyang said: "According to this statement, if that guy Zhao Kuo came to fight Chen Cheng, wouldn't we be unable to defend?"

This question directly stunned everyone present.

After a while, Lord Chunshen said: "That's the truth, but we have 15 soldiers and horses in Chencheng, even if he can really break through the city wall, the cavalry is actually not as good as the cavalry in close combat in the city." We're infantry, aren't we?"

Chun Shenjun's answer finally reassured all the generals of the Chu army present.

While they were waiting in fear for Zhao Kuo to arrive in Chencheng, two days later, another news about Zhao Kuo came.

"Zhao Kuo has led the army to arrive and surround Juyang City!"

After hearing the news, Chun Shenjun and Jingyang were completely stunned.

Juyang City is about a hundred miles south of Chencheng.

In other words, Zhao Kuo has bypassed Chen Cheng and penetrated into the heart of Chu State!

Chapter 1052 Zhao Kuo is going to Shouchun

After regaining consciousness, Chunshen Jun and Jingyang rushed to the map almost immediately.

Judging from the map, Juyang City is located in the central area of ​​Chu State today, and it is also exactly in the middle of Chencheng in the north and Shouchun, the capital city.

"and many more."

Mr. Chunshen seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly said, "This Zhao Kuo, he probably doesn't want to go to Shouchun, does he?"

It's not that Mr. Chunshen is suspicious, it's that Zhao Kuo's marching route seems to be heading for Shouchun no matter how you look at it.

After hearing these words, Jingyang was startled and subconsciously said: "Impossible! Shouchun is at least 500 miles away from Chencheng!"

Chun Shenjun's expression was extremely solemn, and he said slowly: "Chencheng is indeed more than 500 miles away from Shouchun, but Juyang City is only more than 200 miles away from Shouchun!"

After Chun Shenjun finished speaking, Jingyang was stunned.
