Chapter 22 Asking for help
Back at the camp, Zhao Wu led two young people in a few days before and after.
One of them is Shen Daming, who met Yu Yinyin, who was the one who met Wang Yueshe, and the other is about the same age as him and has a somewhat similar appearance, but on a handsome but slightly thin face, his eyes always give people a sense of incorrectness and powerlessness.
Just looking at this face, Wang Yue knew that this person's personality was dark and his will should not be very firm, and he would be easily shaken or confused by various images. If he was not firm, he would often be easily influenced by emotions, and his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness were difficult to control and impermanent.
"Young Master, Wang Yue is polite." As soon as the two of them entered the tent, Wang Yue mingled to meet him and said to Shen again: "Brother Shen, I haven't seen each other for many days."
"Young Master Qi, pay homage to Mr. Snake Yu." Young Master Qi and Shen Dao each bowed.
"Please sit for two." Wang Yue greeted him with one hand and returned to the master's seat. When the two of them sat in a few cases, they continued: "I don't know that the young master is here to visit today, but what's the important thing?"
The young master looked at Shen Dao, and Shen Dao hurriedly bowed and said, "Young Master Snake Yu, my young master is the reads who came to Huai Shang to ask for help;."
"Please help?"
Wang Yue also had some understanding of the situation in Shen State.
The military chariots from the state of Cai entered Shennan were only about four hundred chariots, and even if the Zhu family chariots were added, it was less than six hundred chariots. For a big country like Shen, it only needs to mobilize the military strength of doctors from all over the country to be able to deal with it easily.
In this situation, what aid does Shenguo need?
After a little thought, Wang Yue asked, "What is the situation in Shennan now?"
This was not something Shen Dao could tell, so the young master Qi said in a low voice: "The military chariots from the land of Cai State, carried the raid into Shennan, first broke into Yindi and merged with Zhu clan, then went north to attack Pinglailin, and then forced to surrender to Yanglinyi Doctor. From this, he occupied the land of Shennan."
"With the assistance of Shin Kingdom doctors such as Nagii, all the soldiers and chariots and warriors in the land he occupied were collected and used by him, and more than 800 chariots were used by Shinnam."
"It would be fine if it was just for this. It was still within the joint efforts of our country's national army and the local doctor army." The young master Qihu cried and said, "However, when the main force of the Cai State's attack on Xiangdu went to siege Xiangdu, he recently divided a two hundred-cycle side division army and quickly crossed the Xiang State and penetrated directly into our Shenzhong."
"The army of our troops and local doctors mobilized. They were originally gathered in Shenzhong and were about to rescue Shennan, but on the way to march, they were caught off guard by him from behind. The losses were quite heavy, but they were barely defeated. However, the coalition forces of the Jidi and Zhu family doctors of Cai suddenly headed north at this time."
"After this, there were attacking Xiang's partial army, and there were Jidi and Zhudi coalition forces in front of them. Our army was heavily besieged at the intersection of Shenzhong and Shennan. Other doctors from various places in Shennan wanted to rescue, but they did not want to be ambushed by Jidi and Zhu's coalition forces..."
Listening to the movement of the soldiers and chariots of the Prince Qi's words, Wang Yue's heart moved slightly. Cai's attack on Shen's country this time was really extraordinary.
Forty or fifty years ago, the war modes of various countries still paid attention to various rules. They often agreed on the venue and led the troops before the war. Then the two sides gathered troops and chariots to form a formation and fought. It was a great stand. However, the soldiers were never tired of deceitful and used any means, but it was the case after Yue defeated Jing with this method.
But no matter how you use any means, you will never be tired of deceit. Relatively speaking, the world war has not made any special flowers. However, in today's battle against Shen in Cai State, Wang Yue could easily think of a series of strategic terms such as surprise attacks on the rear, surrounded and backing the enemy.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Doctor Shennan's army was ambushed. How many days ago did this happen?"
"This happened three days ago." The young master Qi said, adding: "I borrowed the birds raised by the peasant master to send them all the way. I rushed to Huaiyin yesterday and met Shen Da. I heard that the five Huai-shang alliance wanted to rescue Shen Guo and resist Cai Guo, so that I could visit the young master today."
Wang Yue nodded and asked again: "How did Cai State attack the Xiang side troops through Xiang State at a rapid speed? According to common sense, he was in the enemy territory of Xiang State, and the speed of the troops, chariots and infantry advancement could not be as fast as that."
"The people of Cai followed Beidi and formed a horse army. This partial army was his horse army, borrowing horse power to cross the Xiang Kingdom."
"Master Army?" Wang Yue thought of the cavalry at the first time and continued to ask: "How did the Cai people's horse army fight? This matter is extremely important and is related to the major event of the Huaihe coalition army's reorganization of the northward battle with it. You must tell me in detail."
"Masters fight?" Young Master Qi slightly differently: "The battle of the horses is the same as that of the infantry, but the marching can be used to borrow horsepower."
"So it's this kind of horse army." Wang Yue knew what was going on when he heard it.
This was the early cavalry of the earth. There was no saddle or stirrup. When the knights rode on it, they could only fix their bodies by clamping their legs. Except for some powerful players, most people could not fight normally on horseback like this, so the early cavalry were all horse-riding infantry.
Since this is the horse army, Wang Yue was relieved.
Because the battle formation he promoted the Huaihe coalition this time was the Roman phalanx of the past. Since this formation appeared, it completely eliminated the chariots of the past and swept the Macedonian phalanx that swept thousands of miles into the old paper pile. The Romans were invincible in the Mediterranean Sea.
But the times are developing, and the invincible Macedonian phalanx will no longer be invincible, and the same is true for the Roman phalanx.
The ones who eliminated the Roman phalanx were the heavy cavalry and cavalry archers that emerged later.
First of all, the Roman phalanx is an array line, which has great advantages against other infantrymen. However, when encountering heavy cavalry with heavy armor, the javelin and dagger are insufficient, and it is easy to break through and defeat the heavy cavalry.
Because of the limited range of javelin killing and the limited ability of infantry movement, it is obviously unable to cope with the wind and the range is far superior to that of the javelin rider.
In the history of war, heavy cavalry with both men and horses appeared later, but as early as the Roman period, when the Romans faced the immature Parthian cavalry cavalry and shooting tactics, the disadvantages of this phalanx in cavalry were already clearly seen. They could only rely on the large shield knotted turtle shell formation to guard it, without chasing and killing the opponent.
"Young Master, since you know the crisis of our country, you don't know when the Huai River will send troops north to support Shen." Seeing Wang Yue thinking, the young master suddenly became anxious.
Wang Yue thought for a while and said, "The Huaishan coalition is now gathering troops to reorganize the army, and it will take as soon as one and a half months to go north."
"What, one and a half months? The army of Shenguo across the country might have been defeated long ago." The young master stood up suddenly and said anxiously: "Young Master, I saw that the soldiers in this camp are no more than a hundred chariots. If I could go north from now on, I would have time to rescue Shenguo."
After hearing what the young master Qi said, Wang Yue laughed and said, "Does the young master completely not understand military affairs?"
"There is a saying that before the troops move, the food and grass will go first. There are indeed hundreds of soldiers here, but the food and grass for a war is not yet ready, and the logistics auxiliary soldiers and civilians have not arrived yet. At this time, we head north, and the nine hundred soldiers on the Huai River will go hungry halfway. What are you talking about for rescue?"
"And the troops gathered at this time were gathered from all countries and places. Without any training, they were just a pile of loose sand. Even if there was enough food and supplies, the army heading north to use this army to defeat the elite of Cai. If you don't say you are rescued by Shen, you will lose yourself."
"This time, the commander of the three armies of Cai State is not an ordinary person. Our Huai Army must prepare for everything to go north."
"What about my country of Shen?" Young Master Qi said angrily: "In another month and a half, the national teacher will be destroyed, and the country will be destroyed by the family."
Wang Yue said lightly: "It's okay to destroy the family and destroy the country. As long as the king's office of the State of Shen is still there and the doctors from all over the country are not dead, I will be the young master who will lead the Huaihe coalition forces to the north to win the State of Cai. I will do my best to do the Chen Mongol's life and death."
"You!" The young master Qi opened his eyes angrily, stared at Wang Yue, and said, "You are the young master of the destruction, and you wish that all the young masters in the world will be like you? If you don't save them, but you are not the final decision on this Huai River. You are just the commander of the coalition forces elected. I will go to find the kings of various countries to share the discussion."
After saying that, Young Master Qi turned around angrily and rushed out of the tent like crazy.
Looking at the young master, Wang Yue shook his head and asked, "Brother Shen, your young master has a very strong temper. He doesn't think he looks like a king."
Listening to Wang Yue's words, Shen Da's body was shocked. He suddenly realized that Wang Yue, the young master who had been defeated by a few months ago, had been completely different today.
Come on ~ If Shen State is really defeated by Cai State, when he leads the Huai coalition forces to defeat Cai State and continue to survive and die, the young master may be just because of his impression today. Even if his mother is favored by the king, he will not be able to get the prince or the king of Shen State.
Shen Dashi unexpectedly, Wang Yue and him came to Huai Shang, and in just a short time, he had reached this point.
Thinking of this, Shen Dao bowed his hand and said sincerely: "Young Master Qi was spoiled by his mother since childhood and said nothing. He was an individual offending the young master. He could not represent Shen Guo. I hope that the young master would not blame Shen Guo for this."
