Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 991: Battle of Kazaka (middle)

ps: come back too late, only one chapter

In the early morning of April 10th, thousands of cavalrymen appeared on the road west of Dahe. In the past month, it has been common for Hexi people to cross the border with cavalry. Never show up in the wild. However, there were so many cavalrymen, seven or eight thousand people, that the road was not enough, so they passed through fields and wasteland, one after another, and it was the first time I saw them.

The cavalry were dressed in different styles, some of which were typical Rong and Di outfits, with fur covering their ears, bird feathers on their heads, Zuo Zhai clothes with narrow sleeves, bows and arrows, and they formed the vanguard and peripheral patrols. Although the rest of the cavalry also wore Zhai clothes and walked on horses, they were on the right side, and the formation was orderly and the armor was distinct.

This is the Shangjun Postal Division who entered Hexi from the upper reaches of Luoshui River, and the Daijun Yuxi Division who killed a carbine and recaptured Longmen. According to the plan, they reunited again, and then began to head towards Puban. Twenty miles from the west bank stopped, and sent out scouts to the surroundings.

Scout soldiers are the eyes and ears of the army. When fighting deep into the enemy country, they should send scouts first, go two hundred miles to the enemy, and find out where the enemy is. Because it wasn't because the 100,000 army marched together, there was no need to be so exaggerated, but the cordon that was 20 miles away had to be maintained.

Bai Zhai's cavalry, who was familiar with the terrain of Hexi, roared away, and after a while, he turned back and talked to Zhao Jiang.

The origin of this army is complex, including people from Taiyuan County, Yecheng County, Dongyang County, Daijun Dairong, Wuzhi, Tuhe, and Shangjun Baizhai. Sometimes a conversation even includes three or four languages. The short one-month co-operation is not enough for them to understand each other's meaning, and they often have to be translated several times.

Fortunately, Yidun had already equipped them with enough translators. After the translation, Youcheng nodded and said to Yuxi: "The Bai Zhai cavalry has been ordered to go out for twenty miles, and any soldiers from Weinan or Hexi will hide it when they leave the city. keep their eyes."

Yu Xi nodded and said, "Good, then after nightfall, we can hit the west bank of Puban directly, and then let everyone drive all the people in the village they meet."

He also smiled at Youcheng and said, "It's really inconvenient that Rong and Di can't understand Xia Yan. Dai County has just issued a decree that all chieftains of Dai, Wuji, and Tu He who don't understand Xia Yan will not be allowed to take office. Those in the army who do not understand Xia Yan are not allowed to serve, and the situation in Daijun and Shangjun is similar, you can go back to discuss with the governor of Shangjun, you can ask Shangqing for instructions and learn from it.”

"The boy is taught." Doctor Yucheng hurriedly thanked the middle doctor Yu Xi, who was one level higher than him, so that Bianjun would gradually become Chinese. This was Zhao Wuxi's next plan. The first conquered Daijun would naturally go to Shangjun. front.

After the Battle of Hancheng and the Great Victory of Longmen, Zhao Jun's morale rose to the extreme. Four years after he left the Central Plains, the Zhao Cavalry commanded by Yu Xi was more powerful and terrifying than before, and Youcheng also swept Hexi, except for the troops stationed on the other side of Puban. That Qin army, no one can pose a threat to them again.

"If we can defeat the enemy in Puban, no matter what happens to the east of the river, we will be able to go back and capture the west of the Hexi." To expand the territory for the Zhao family, the desire to achieve success expands in Youcheng's heart, and he will prove that he is not He was not inferior to the generals of the Zhao clan who came from the army, and Qin State was naturally the best target to slaughter.

Yu Xi, who was walking in front of him, was his goal!

However, the experienced Yu Xi had no plans to rush to attack during the day. He let the cavalry rest on the spot and stock up their horsepower.

Because the scouts came to report that the Qin army had set up a simple camp on the west bank of the river, although it was too late to erect a wooden wall, they dug a few simple ravines on the periphery and placed antlers. But these things are only useful to the cavalry during the day. When the sun goes down, the enemy's bow and arrow can no longer play an effective killing effect...

The general attack will start after dark!

Yu Xi raised her head and looked up at the sky, I hope, tonight will be a moonless night...

...

On the other side of Puban, the spirits of the Qin soldiers have been tense for a long time. Some of them have not rested all day and night, and they are extremely tired when the night is approaching.

Zhao Jun's cavalry actually arrived in the afternoon, but they had been cruising outside the camp, staying out of range, and seeing the reality clearly. The Qin army knew nothing about them: they hid behind the camp and could only see the cavalry running around, but they couldn't see the position of the enemy's main force, and a group of people were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Zhao's cavalry is invincible in the field. This is a fact that the Qin people in Hexi have tacitly agreed to. It is undoubtedly extremely unwise to fight head-on in the field. Make full use of trenches and bows and arrows to give them the greatest damage. This is the correct method of warfare.

But those Zhao clan scouts bullied the Qin people into not daring to leave the camp, so they deliberately ran their horses close and then turned to run away. Some Qin people couldn't hold back and shot a few arrows, but they were all in vain, wasting the arrows in vain. His morale was damaged, and Zishun had to climb up to the sentry tower in person. After shooting a cavalry with a bow, he regained a little morale, and Zhao cavalry calmed down a little. However, Zishun also issued a strict order not to shoot the enemy alone with a bow.

The commander-in-chief Zishun knew that the enemy in front of him was very sophisticated and had already seen through his own tactics. They kept the army out of the sight of the Qin army, so that the Qin people could not see the truth, and while they were on guard, they did not know when and where the enemy would attack.

As if they had made an appointment, Zhao Jun on the east bank of the river was also constructing their siege equipment in a hurry. Under the adjustment of the craftsmen, the tall Shaoliang artillery took shape, and they were waiting for the dark as a signal.

Although the attacker's field of vision will also be affected, more than a dozen Shaoliang cannons are placed in front of the city. If the height is adjusted properly, no matter how badly they shoot, they can throw stones into Puban City. Private houses, they don't care.

Sure enough, when the last rays of the sun disappeared on the horizon, the sound of a stone hair suddenly sounded, like a thunderbolt piercing the night sky.

"Boom!" The guards in Puban City hurriedly shrank their heads. The huge boulder hit a section of the parapet, and the masonry splashed. The 5,000 people in the city breathed a sigh of relief, but they also had lingering fears.

The loud noises one after another caused the Qin army in Hexi to turn back to see what happened on the other side. However, at the same time, thousands of Zhao cavalrymen had already started a battle formation five miles away, and they were slowly approaching the Qin army camp...

After the twelve Shaoliang artillery took turns to bombard the north of Puban City, Zhao Qi also arrived at his destination. Three hundred steps before the Liudao ditch of the Qin army camp in Hexi, thousands of war horses stopped and watched, breathing hot air from their mouths and noses, and their feet kept stomping on the ground. release……

They are the elites of the Zhao family, and there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. Before dispatching, someone must be the first to fill the gully.

Some Bai Zhai and Daijun cavalrymen dismounted their horses consciously and carried small shields to drive forward the Hexi or Qin people who had been captured from the surrounding area. , These people are responsible for filling in some of the ravines, and at the same time removing the antlers that are in the way of Qin's camp.

Expelling the people to fill the trenches seems like nothing to Yu Xi and Youcheng, who have been fighting on the border for several years. Shang Qing also said that after the battle is over, you can talk about benevolence and righteousness, but before the battle is over, you can do whatever you can.

The Qin people had already lit a fire outside the camp, which didn't come in handy last night, and continued to burn a few more fires tonight. They panicked when they saw the figure, and hurriedly shot arrows outside the camp.

The sound of breaking the sky sounded intensively~lightnovelpub.net~ The arrows fell like raindrops, and many civilians in Hexi were shot to death, and they wanted to retreat in a frenzy, but the Zhai and Rong cavalry behind them were also threatening them with arrows. You can only hide behind the door panel and move forward inch by inch.

Zhao’s cavalry opened their bows and suppressed it was effective. The rain of arrows in the Qin battalion soon loosened, and the archers could not lift their heads. Moreover, Zhao cavalry used rockets insidiously. Qin people are in a hurry to fight the fire. Due to the relationship between manpower and time, the trenches dug around were neither wide nor deep. The civilians who filled the trenches did not care about dumping the soil, so they threw the bamboo baskets in, and the door panels were randomly set up, but even so, the trenches were quickly filled. Full.

The horn sounded, and Zhao Qi's arrows became more and more dense. After a while, they would start to rob the camp.

"If this continues, even if we are not shot to death by Zhao Qi, we will be dragged down by the chaos in the camp, trampled and burned to death..."

At this time, it was no longer the cavalry that was terrifying, but the chaos of the Qin people themselves.

Zishun was furious, and for a moment he forgot his father's words that he must not fight against Zhao Cavalry.
