Chapter 487 : Watch the widow's donkey cart drift!(1/2)
The clouds floated slowly in the sky, and the people on the ground were extremely busy. The horse's hooves raised waves of dust and smoke, and the wheels rolled forward.
The Jin army and the Zheng army confirmed that they would go to war, and both sides formed their own formations. For a moment, the flags of the two armies were dancing in the wind, and fully armed soldiers stood in line.
"The Zheng army was neat and orderly, and the noise of the array was not loud, and there was no lack of ambition to decide the death." Wei Qi must remind Shi Yi.
This kind of Zheng State army has not been seen for a long time. Looking back, it seems that it was a military appearance that only existed during the period when Zheng State dominated the Central Plains.
On the other side.
Zi Si said to Zheng Junji Yun: "The people of Jin acted rigidly and became famous for their leisure time. They were extremely dangerous to face him."
Soldiers are rigid in representing discipline.
Being good at leisure is actually a proof that discipline is reflected.
Zi Si said that he would not want Zheng Junji and Yun to charge in person because he was stupid. Considering that the monarch was always absurd, he had to give the most severe warning.
The Jin army formed a "complete" formation, that is, the army that was fighting was not divided into front, back, left and right. The entire army was a rectangle, which was clearly intended to fight a wave of flow.
In contrast, Zheng Jun also listed only one "公" and came a mai man against the needle.
The chariots of both sides are placed in front, and each chariot must follow the infantry.
The two combat vehicles fought together, which was probably the case with the "maintainer" and the "wingman". There were twenty-five infantrymen, forming a "two" organization; the problem was that the Jin army had its own distinctive organization. When it came to the "brigade" unit, the soldiers were 1,000 more than other countries.
In each of the vassal states, a "brigade" consisted of twenty chariots and five hundred soldiers.
The troops of the 1,000 additional soldiers from the Jin army were not static. They could have archers and special shield players, forming a more complex system of multiple troops.
The "brigade" of other countries has much less manpower than the Jin army. Even if they can play with multiple troops, the problem is that there are only so many people. Drawing one hundred people as archers means that there are less soldiers who can charge into battle. The disadvantage of weak troops is undoubtedly reflected.
Why do various vassal states not learn from Jin? The reason for this is very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in just a few words. It can only be summarized as the difference in the number of soldiers and the quality of officers.
Zheng Jun didn't want to join the army, and he didn't want to do it even if he came to the front of the camp to chat or invite a one-on-one fight.
They knew that Lu Wu had not come, but Jin State had more than just a powerful general like Lu Wu, and wouldn’t it be the strong general Wei Qi?
Of course, the "Qing" of Jin State would not easily fight with anyone, and the Zheng people understood this truth very well.
The last thing Zheng people want to do now is to do some extra things to anger the Jin people.
Setting up a battle situation? Just following a procedure that conforms to etiquette rules is different from doing something to deliberately provoke.
The Jin army took the lead in setting up the formation, and did not take advantage of the fact that Zheng army was still continuing to line up and kill him.
"The Zhengren wants to fight me to the death?" Shi Yi said this, without any tension.
He was able to draw that conclusion mainly because the Zheng army's soldiers were too quiet, which seemed abnormal.
Slowly, the Zheng army's formation was completed, and a drum sounded then. The Zheng army's chariots lined up in the front slowly moved forward, and the infantry behind followed in silence.
If you don’t say hello, you will start a war directly?
Shi Yi and Wei Qi looked at each other, and Shi Yi ordered the drums to be beaten and the army to attack.
The battlefield was immediately filled with the sound of horse hooves and footsteps, and the excessive frequency made the sound gathering noisy.
"Who is in the ruling family to fight?" Zheng Junji Yun did not pay attention to the battlefield and asked curiously.
Zi Si was a little unresponsive, wondering what this question meant, and replied: "Zi Shen is in front of the formation."
Zheng Junji Yun said "tsk" twice and commented: "The ruling spirit is so strong."
That "Zi Shen" is Zi Si's heir.
Zi Si's strategy is to fight with the Jin army. If his troops on the battlefield will fight all of them, it is hard to say how many Jin army can be killed.
Let your heir die? No matter what Zi Si's strategy is, at least it will be "fair and just".
Since Zi Si could let his heirs fight a war that was destined to be gone but never returned, what are the other Dukes and nobles of Zheng State? No matter how unwilling they were, they could only accompany them.
Before the war, their respective formations were very neat. After the battle started, it depends on the cooperation and dispatch of the two parties' organizational structures. The formation would never be kept neat.
Zheng Jun soon discovered that the Jin army's tank had undergone a major change, that is, they didn't have to walk a big circle to turn, and they could even brake urgently.
This discovery surprised the Zheng people who sacrificed their lives to death.
Only soldiers of this era can understand what the existence of that kind of chariot means, which means that they can be flexible and mobile anytime and anywhere. If you want to rely on your previous experience to intercept in advance, you will not be able to figure out where to intercept it. You don’t know where to rush up from when a certain chariot of the enemy will rush up.
The troops of Fan's army were on the battlefield, and the chariots that could be flexibly and maneuvered were purchased from the Yin family.
The Zheng people who fought with the belief of decisive death, they tried their best to fight the Jin army, but they had no choice but to find that the times have changed!
Often, Zheng's army gritted their teeth and wanted to fight the Jin army directly opposite. A big noise came from the flank. First, a Jin army chariot plowed in, and then the Jin army's infantry rushed up from the gap that the tanks hit.
Other parts of the Zheng army were not in the first sequence of charge, but they were calm and waited for their own positions to fill the field. They moved forward for a distance but were covered by arrow rain.
If the Zheng people had not lost their memory, the one who was good at shooting the Han army was the Han army, but there was no Han army on the battlefield!
It’s not that the rest of the Jin State had no archers, but in the impression of the various countries, the rest of the Jin State except the Han family could not play archery so smoothly.
That idea is correct and wrong.
First of all, it is not without a family in Jin that I can’t understand what the Han family is playing. They just took it as the Han family, and after learning the Han family’s “technology” and “tactics”, they dared not blatantly put the infringement in the open.
Then, the Han family is no longer a family of Qing, and the Fan family no longer has too many concerns.
In Fan's view, what's wrong with using some of Han's tactics?
Wei Qi, who was also on the battlefield, found that Fan was imitating Han's tactics, and glanced at Shi Yi without leaving any trace, and felt a great sense of vigilance in his heart.
Wei Qi thought to himself: "Fan followed the Yin family to study cavalry, and now he uses Han's tactics on the battlefield. The once arrogant and domineering Xi family has not crossed this red line!"
At this moment, Wei Qi listed Fan as a list of unfavorable friends, and felt extremely repulsive of Shi Yi's unruly disregard.
Shi Yi didn't know what Wei Qi was thinking. He only knew that the Fan army was fighting with the Zheng army after the battle. He would inevitably wonder what the situation of the Zheng army was, and the disadvantage was so obvious that it had not collapsed yet.
He looked at Wei Qi and asked, "Can the army officer send troops to start another game?"
Wei Qi glanced at the "thickness" of Zheng Jun opposite, nodded and said, "Yes."
A "department" and three "brigades" of the Fan family have started fighting with a "army" of Zheng State, and there is also an "army" available for the Zheng State.
Considering that the king of his own needs someone to protect him, the Zheng army would invest at most three or five thousand people into the battlefield, and the Wei family could just dispatch two "brigades (three thousand soldiers)".
The Jin army's move to open up a new battlefield was soon seen by Zheng army.
The Zheng army discussed that the Jin army's re-send troops was not a battlefield where the battle was being fought, so they chose to open up a new battlefield.
Zheng Junji Yun didn't understand much, and he savored the Jin army to make his camp empty. He asked, "I'm still here? Why don't you turn back to 'Xinzheng'?"
Just leave the ministers and soldiers to do something like this.
I am a body of gold!
Even if you know that the Jin people dare not kill them, being captured would be extremely embarrassing, right?
In other eras, soldiers were fighting hard in front of them, but the leader wanted to escape, and they would not say it directly even if they wanted to do it. They would only quietly play the operation of "drifting donkey cart".
After hearing Zheng Junji Yun's words, the ministers and nobles of Zheng State agreed. While they did not feel rejected, they quickly followed Zheng Junji Yun's words and arranged many things to "leaders first".
After a while of busyness, Zheng Junji Yun got on his car, but he did not run away in shame, but he majesticly led about 7,000 Zheng troops to approach the battlefield.
"Only Zheng (Letter) led the battle?" Shi Yi felt a little difficult, but he saw Zheng Junji Yun abandoning most of the Zheng army and turning a corner and wondering where he was going.
The Zheng army who followed Zheng Junji Yun to leave was about 2,000. In a proud and proud manner, he went to the southwest and never looked back.
Shi Yi thought with some confusion: "'Middle Power' and 'back power' come from the northeast, and there is no army attacking Zheng in the southwest, right?"
He doubted whether there was a Chu army there on the way over there, and felt that he should be at ease and sent people to urge the participating troops in front to increase their offensive efforts, so as to destroy the Zheng army on the battlefield in the shortest time.
This time, the Zheng army's resilience was a bit beyond the expectations of the Jin army. If it were the past, the army formation would be suspended and they would wait until they were re-arranged before continuing to fight. Even the Zheng army, which had lost about 10%, should have stopped and asked for a break.
Now, not only did the Zheng army that was fighting completely disorganized, but the lost troops had long been more than 10%. However, they did not retreat at all and continued to fight in a state of lifeless battle with the Jin army.
It can be ambition or a tragic and angry person, and a deep and dead spirit that fights to the death without retreating. No matter how you look at it, it will make people feel extremely strange.
The taxi who had not arrived in front in person could not know what was going on Zheng Jun. He stood in the nest car and observed from a distance, and could only see Zheng Jun retreating step by step, and persisting tenaciously.
"The people of Zheng have this ambition, so they should not be underestimated!" Shi Yi commented.
Wei Qi, who also did not go to charge, was surprised by Zheng Jun's tenacity and said, "We need to send a detective cavalry to the southwest to spy!"
The Zheng army was too tenacious, especially because Zheng Junji Yun led a small number of troops toward the southwest, which had to make Shiyi and Wei Qi suspect that the Chu army was in the southwest.
The Chu army had left the Jishui River. They did not come to the battlefield between Zheng and Jin, but went straight to the capital of Chen, "Wanqiu".
Jin State, who had been paying attention to the movements of the Chu army, only knew that they had left, but they didn't know where Chu Junxiong Shenhui took the army.
Zheng State didn't even know that the Chu army left Jishui.
The Jin State would send reconnaissance cavalry to pay attention to the Chu army, which was actually influenced by the way Lu Wu led the troops to fight.
However, including Shi Yi, Wei Qi and others, they had such a concept and did not understand the mature scout system.
What is a mature scout system? In addition to having someone keep a close eye on the object you want to keep an eye on, you also need to master the way of message delivery. There are many things that can be said here. It is really not the person who is responsible for the person being watched. It is as simple as going back to report any news worth reporting.
"Why didn't the Zheng army retreat?" Shi Yi felt increasingly confused, and at the same time felt sorry for the losses of his troops that exceeded expectations.
This is based on the fact that Zheng Jun was at a disadvantage on both local battlefields. He was obviously unable to defeat but refused to give up and stopped the battle. He had the same attitude as he wanted to fight until nightfall and then fight until dawn.
"Assistant of the Central Army, we need to prevent the Chu army from coming." Wei Qi's expression was very serious, and his vigilance was also raised to the highest level.
How could they have thought that Zheng Junji and Yun would play "drifting with donkey carts"? Look at the Zheng army on the battlefield so tenacious that it was so devastated that it would not retreat even after losing 30% of the city. What can be guessed is that the reinforcements from Zheng State came to the southwest.
