Upon hearing the order to retreat, the Shu army cheered.
It’s been two months.
Who can bear to live in a muddy field every day, with no food and grass, and having to fight by chewing tree bark? Wouldn't it be nice to go back and let his wife and children stay warm on the kang?
The Shu army, which has always been known for its toughness, has actually been unstable for a long time.
An order was issued, and the troops were organized overnight. Those who packed up their belongings, put away their belongings, and yelled at them. The officers and soldiers at various ports, checkpoints, and the siege of Hanzhong all took action upon hearing the news.
The King of Shu sighed.
What a big loss!
He was the mighty king of Shu, but he didn't even capture a Hanzhong city.
But no matter what, taking the best approach is the best option.
He was thinking about when he would have a good game with Yinzhou Liu Zhizhou again.
Drive high and go low.
Come boldly and leave disgracefully.
The King of Shu was mentally prepared to be ridiculed by the world's feudal kings and people.
However……
What he didn't expect was.
Before leaving, he paid back all the cost of the battlefield recovered in Wudu.
After two months of war, the 160,000 Shu troops who were born were actually chased and killed by 10,000 Han Chinese troops with knives!
…
at this time.
It was approaching dusk, and it was dark because of the wind and rain.
Xiao Kang quietly stood among the thorns, looking at the Shu army who was packing their things and baggage and wanted to retreat.
"General, this..."
"Are we going to attack the Shu army camp?"
"General, isn't this looking for death?"
Several of his lieutenants and generals were dumbfounded. Fifteen thousand people, attacking 160,000, is this crazy?
"shut up!"
Xiao Kang shouted angrily.
This almost one-day forced march allowed him to truly experience the iron-like discipline of the Yinzhou Army. Those guys in green military uniforms seemed to have never known fear. As long as Liu Zhizhou gives an order, he will risk his life to complete it.
Why?
Xiao Kang was a little confused.
What he didn't know was.
The military spirit of the Yinzhou Army is to resolutely obey orders and guard the elders of Yinzhou.
A very simple sentence, but it united the hearts of all the soldiers of the Yinzhou Army. Why? Because in this era, almost all other armies were weapons and sharp weapons in the hands of feudal kings and nobles. It is a tool they use to fight for the world, show off their power, and declare their sovereignty.
Only Yinzhou.
Only Liu Zhizhou of Yinzhou seriously raised the concept of serving the people in this era.
Everything is for the benefit of Yinzhou!
All for the stability of Yinzhou!
This is Liu Zheng's cleverness.
Even if we go to invade in the future, it will be because of strategic needs and the needs of the people of Yinzhou. This does not conflict with the original intention.
This way.
The Yinzhou Army is united and has strong ideas. For the sake of the parents, wives and children at home, who would be afraid of death?
Then, under the extremely strict reward and punishment system and the policy of martyr pension, it would be strange if the Yinzhou Army's combat effectiveness does not improve.
"Are you scared? Look at those five thousand soldiers!"
"Look at you again!"
Xiao Kang hates iron but cannot make steel. Those five thousand Yinzhou soldiers, wearing green military uniforms, just kept lying in the thorn bushes, motionless. If you didn't look carefully, you would think that these people were just bushes...
He felt unhappy again.
What kind of army is this!
Sour.
He was really sore.
"When it gets dark, I'll fight you, do you hear me? Spread out and fight, fifteen thousand soldiers, you must make it look like a hundred thousand army for me!"
After all, Xiao Kang was also a general. He doubted Liu Zheng's judgment at first, but when he saw that these Shu troops were already retreating, he became excited and immediately knew that this was an excellent opportunity!
In this kind of weather, the visibility is extremely low. As long as they show a huge force, the Shu army will retreat and have no intention of fighting again. Maybe they will be able to win this battle, which is the most impressive one for the Hanzhong army. victory!
time.
Go by little by little.
Night finally began to fall, and the Shu army retreated hastily, regardless of day or night.
This made the 160,000 Shu army even more lengthy.
In the vast night and the wind and rain, Xiao Kang finally shouted: "Kill!"
There was a loud shout.
Ten thousand Hanzhong troops and five thousand Yinzhou troops shouted at the same time.
For a moment, the sound of killing roared, and the ground shook.
The Shu troops who were in charge of pulling the baggage were immediately frightened and picked up their weapons. However, it was too late. The soldiers in the baggage team were already weak in combat effectiveness. How to deal with the Yinzhou Army that came and went like the wind? The first one to be killed was the 5,000 Yinzhou Army. They raised their swords and started to slaughter them.
Then came Xiao Kang's 10,000 Hanzhong Army.
This guy is determined to compare his brothers with the Yinzhou Army, and he kills them very fiercely.
"The Yinzhou Army is coming!"
"The Hanzhong Army is coming!"
"Run!"
"Go and tell the King of Shu that the combined army is coming to kill you!"
The King of Shu was originally in the carriage. When he heard the news, his face turned dark: "What do you mean, the combined army? How many are there?"
He didn't believe it.
That mere King Yong dared to pursue him. Did he not want his life?
"My lord, I can't see how many there are, but... the sound shook the mountains and fields!"
The King of Shu trembled all over.
Could it really be an army?
"Speed up, quickly!"
"Give the order, fight separately, and retreat as a whole!"
"yes!"
This time.
Even the experienced King of Shu was finally fooled and issued a fatal military order.
In fact, in ancient times, an army of five thousand was a large scale and a quite powerful combat unit. You know, in later generations, five thousand were the establishment of a strengthened regiment. However, in every war, there are often hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, which makes people a little numb to the size of combat units.
Fifteen thousand……
If these people are interspersed back and forth and cooperate properly, they can definitely create an aura of tens of thousands of people. Coupled with the poor visibility due to the weather, the Shu army was not willing to fight.
So, for a time, these 50,000 people actually started to wreak havoc on the 160,000 Shu army by the tail.
"kill!"
At this time, Xiao Kang was completely convinced of Liu Zhizhou's plan.
The Shu army's resistance at this time was not very fierce at all.
It even seems that the King of Shu's order is to use these small groups of troops to kill people and delay the pace of the "United Army" behind them, while the Shu army in front of them has begun to accelerate its retreat...
If at this time, the King of Shu is willing to be ruthless, turn around and start a decisive battle with this "United Army", not only will he not lose so miserably, he can even easily eat up the entire force of 50,000. .
However.
He didn't dare.
Hanzhong Army, Liangzhou Army, Yinzhou Army, the "joint army" from three aspects. At this time, the Shu army is still hungry, can they defeat it?
Keep withdrawing!
then.
This classic battle of defeating more with less, which caused an uproar in the world, was just like this, staged between Hanzhong and Wudu.
