Outside Qingzhou City.
The war horses galloped past, kicking up thousands of feet of sand and dust.
The cavalry set off for the expedition and headed south.
Tantai Jingyue only recovered from his injuries for one day, then he remounted his troops and led the army to the expedition.
Once the war has begun, it cannot be stopped. Opportunities are created, not waited for.
Tantai Jingyue, who is proficient in the art of war, knows this truth better than anyone else. Therefore, it is impossible for him to stop the army's march south just because of his physical condition.
More importantly, the West Route Army received news that Dashang's reinforcements were dispatched.
For the Eight Tribes of Mobei, what they dislike the most is siege. Even though the siege capabilities of the Eight Tribes of Mobei are no longer what they used to be, it is an eternal truth that it is more difficult to attack a city than to defend it. No matter how powerful the siege equipment and tactics are, it is impossible to reverse it.
On the contrary, when both sides leave the city and fight on the plains, the mobility and impact capabilities of the Mobei Iron Cavalry can be fully demonstrated.
No matter how strong the infantry square formation is, it cannot withstand the kite-flying tactics of the large-scale cavalry. Once there is a loophole in the infantry's defensive formation, the Mobei cavalry can take away the victory of the war with just one wave of attack.
Generally speaking, in the battle between infantry and cavalry, the error tolerance rate is extremely low. Unless you can always ensure that there are no flaws in your defensive formation, there is no chance of winning.
However, it is not so easy to change the principle that if you persist for a long time, you will lose.
"Goddess, can your body still hold on?"
In front of the army on the west route, Lord Bai Di glanced at the pale woman beside him and asked with concern, "If we can't hold on, let's stop and rest for a while."
"Need not."
On top of the war horse, Tantai Jingyue responded. Although his face looked a little tired, his eyes were still as bright and determined as stars, and he said, "Soldiers are very fast. Since we already know that Dashang's reinforcements have left the city, we will definitely We can’t let them go back, this is a gift from the Great Shang court, it’s not good if we don’t accept it.”
"It's a pity that they didn't come back with large-scale reinforcements. Otherwise, the three armies would attack with all their strength, which would be enough to severely damage Dashang's vitality at once." Lord Bai Di responded with a look of regret on his face.
"The Great Shang court is not all mediocre."
Tantai Jingyue said calmly, "King Donglin stayed in the Great Shang Capital City. With his experience and knowledge, he will definitely try his best to prevent the troops from the surrounding cities from returning for reinforcements. Now this result is acceptable."
War is about mutual consumption. As long as there is no decisive gap in strength between the two sides, it is impossible to determine the winner in one or two battles.
"Speaking of King Donglin, it is indeed very troublesome."
Lord Bai Di said solemnly, "If he doesn't leave the capital of Dashang, it will be difficult for us to attack that capital. Wang Shanshou in the east is a fact that everyone knows."
"Not urgent."
Tantai Jingyue shook his head and responded, "No matter how powerful King Donglin is, there is only one person, and Dashang has hundreds of cities. He alone cannot change the overall situation."
Having said this, Tantai Jingyue paused and continued, "As long as we eliminate the viable forces around the Great Shang Capital City and wait for the time to come, we can implement a major roundabout. Even if the Great Shang Capital City is impregnable and is isolated and helpless, Next, the morale of the military and the people will change, and by that time, the Great Shang Capital will no longer be indestructible."
"I admire the goddess's foresight on war."
On the side, Lord Bai Di praised the woman next to him after listening to her calm analysis.
Not limited to the gains and losses of one city or one pool, but looking at the overall situation from a distance, and then making tactical and strategic arrangements. Such a calm and clear judgment ability is admirable.
only.
Thinking of this, Lord Bai Di looked at the woman beside him, a look of regret flashed deep in his eyes.
It's just that this goddess of the Tantai tribe may not have the opportunity to wait until the war is over to take a good look at the great rivers and mountains she has built with her own hands.
God is jealous of talents.
While the two were talking, the army moved forward quickly, heading towards the direction of Dashang's reinforcements.
At the same time, Dashang's middle army also changed its marching direction and rushed towards another Dashang reinforcement.
The two cities of Dashang and Shang sent troops to help the capital of Dashang, with a total of more than 50,000 people, not too many, but not a lot.
Both sides marched quickly and raced against each other.
However, in the case of a short march, how can the infantry outrun the cavalry?
The incompetence of one general exhausted the three armies. The failure of Dashang was not the fault of the officers but the fault of the decision-makers.
In ancient times, there were twelve golden orders to recall Yue Pengju, and there were bloody lessons such as the return of Qi Lang and Liu Lang. Historical mistakes always happened over and over again. They seemed stupid, but in fact they were inevitable.
The decline of the dynasty was the result of the accumulation of various stubborn diseases, not just the emperor's stupidity. At that time, the court was full of treacherous ministers and sycophants, and even the most enlightened monarch could not make a difference.
Therefore, the rotation of dynasties is always inevitable, and the stubborn diseases that breed in the prosperous times will be exposed one by one after the prosperity comes to an end.
Today's big merchants have reached this level.
Over the course of thousands of years, many stubborn diseases were so deep-rooted in the Shang Dynasty that it was difficult to cure them even by cutting out the flesh and bones.
The sun sets, the moon rises, and then the sun rises.
Just when the two reinforcements were less than a day's journey from the capital of Dashang, the cavalry from the middle and west routes in Mobei rushed towards the rising sun.
The war is about to break out.
"Chang Yu, are you okay?"
At the same time, in the east courtyard of Li Garden, Li Ziye, with his upper body naked, urged him over and over again.
"Soon."
Behind, Chang Yu held the Fish Intestine Sword and perfected the formation behind it bit by bit. When he reached the critical moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Li, you really don't want to consider my suggestion? I think, The suggestion I just made is good."
"roll!"
Li Ziye refused without thinking, and threatened, "Boy, if you dare to draw graffiti, believe it or not, I will draw this circle on your face!"
"Don't, don't."
When Chang Yu heard someone's threat, he immediately gave in and said reluctantly, "Can't I just paint according to Professor Li's instructions?"
This Professor Li is too arrogant and can't listen to other people's opinions at all.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with his idea!
It's a pity that Professor Li didn't give him this opportunity to perform.
About half an hour later, Chang Yu stopped what he was doing, looked at the bloody back of the person in front of him, and said, "Okay!"
Hearing this, Li Ziye closed his eyes, felt the magic circle on his back, immediately got up and put on his clothes, and snatched his fish intestine sword away.
These disciples of the Confucian sect are not good people now, and their quality has plummeted. A treasure like the Yuchang Sword cannot be ignored by the guy in front of him.
"Professor Li."
Chang Yu reluctantly glanced at the fish intestine sword that was snatched away by someone, and warned, "There is something wrong with this magic circle. There are no main meridians like the Eight Extraordinary Meridians around it. Once it is activated, there will definitely be problems. "
"Your old man is thinking about this issue."
Li Ziye responded casually, "Of course, you can also think about it. If you succeed, you will be the legendary founder of martial arts. You will be on par with the saints and be respected by all generations. From now on, when you go to the graves to worship your ancestors, the incense will be yours."
In this world, who can resist the temptation of the first fragrance?
