The daily life of Dali Siqing

"Woo~~"

The ancient city of Jinyang City once again sounded the sound of heavy horns at dawn.

Six years later, another battle to determine the ownership of the world will begin here.

If Zhou Ting wins, this battle will stop King Zhao from continuing to expand, making it temporarily difficult for him to annex Qingzhou, Qizhou, and Xuzhou, and prevent his power from further expansion.

If King Zhao wins, the imperial court will no longer be able to interfere with King Zhao's expansion. From Youzhou southward to General, the four states of Qing, Ji, Qi, and Xu will all be exposed to the hooves of King Zhao's cavalry.

Once King Zhao gets the land of the four states, plus the original Youzhou and Liaodong in his hands, his power will be enough to compete with the imperial court, and even take the strategic initiative.

Before Cao Xueyang's army left the city, the Longwu Army's scouts had already explored the surrounding terrain and confirmed that there was no ambush from King Zhao's army.

While training the New Dragon Army, Cao Xueyang was influenced by someone and strengthened the training of scouts, and even recruited several falconers.

War intelligence is always an important part of war.

And battlefield intelligence can even determine the outcome of a certain battle or even a certain battle.

The scout battalion of the Longwu Army can now proudly say that it ranks first among the Sixth Army of the Emperor.

The army filed out of the east gate of Jinyang City. It was here that Yu Yanyi blocked Hou Jin's iron hoof. Today, Cao Xueyang wants to block King Zhao's attack here.

At the forefront of the team, there was a carriage beside Cao Xueyang.

There seemed to be something on top of the carriage, which was covered with black cloth.

This is Cao Xueyang's secret weapon, the secret weapon used to deal with Zhang Shimei's army.

Zhang Shimei had a total of 28 elite soldiers in his hands, which was the elite army under King Zhao.

The newly formed Longwu Army also had 20 troops, but Cao Xueyang only brought 16 troops this time.

The remaining 4 people were left in Jinyang City by Cao Xueyang. Although Cao Xueyang was determined to fight Zhang Shimei, he still held back.

There are 10 city defense troops and second-line garrison troops in Jinyang City, plus 4 Longwu Army troops. It is not a problem to defend Jinyang City in a short period of time.

The rising sun is shining brightly in the east, bringing infinite warmth to the otherwise cold winter days.

But today's rising sun seems more glamorous and closer to blood color than before.

……

Hongyeyuan, Zhao Wangjun’s camp.

"General, Cao Xueyang has led the army out of the east gate of Jinyang City and is heading here."

Zhang Shimei nodded after listening to the scout's reply.

Everything is going as expected.

Zhang Shimei did not arrange an ambush, nor did he have any plans. He wanted to defeat Long Wu's army in a head-on decisive battle!
Of course this was not a sudden nervous twitch, but an order from King Zhao.

Winning the Zhou army was not King Zhao's goal. His goal was to defeat the Longwu army head-on without any suspense.

There is no need for any plotting, tricks, or means to defeat them head-on in a clean and devastating manner.

Only in this way can Zhou Ting realize the combat power of King Zhao's army and break the determination of other soldiers and horses to continue fighting.

This battle serves other battles.

King Zhao wants to win not only this battle, but also the entire world.

Therefore, the most elite soldiers and horses of the original King Zhao army have gathered under Zhang Shimei's command. This army is even stronger than the soldiers and horses led by King Zhao himself at this moment.

These were soldiers and horses honed over many years of fighting with Hou Jin. King Zhao believed that with such a strong army, coupled with a famous general like Zhang Shimei, there would be no suspense in defeating Cao Xueyang's Longwu Army head-on.

"General, Cao Xueyang is pulling a carriage beside him. I don't know what's on it. Is there any conspiracy behind Cao Xueyang's actions!?"

"Are you sure this is the only carriage?!"

"Yes!"

After Zhang Shimei confirmed it, he stopped paying attention, "It doesn't matter!"

No matter what is on this carriage, it will not have much impact on today's battle situation.

Unless she, Cao Xueyang, is a god descended to earth, what can a carriage drive change? !

"Explore again!"

"Yes!"

……

"Report! Cao Xueyang's vanguard troops have finally broken through the entrance of the army valley..."

"Explore again!"

……

"Report! Cao Xueyang's vanguard troops have passed through Pojun Valley and entered Hongye Plain. The vanguard army asked the general whether to attack and take advantage of her unsteady footing to catch her off guard?!"

"Explore again!"

Faced with such a good opportunity, Zhang Shimei no longer had the intention to attack.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to fight, it’s that King Zhao’s order prevents him from fighting!
……

"Report! Cao Xueyang's Chinese army has passed through Pojun Valley and entered Hongye Plain!"

"Explore again!" However, Zhang Shimei no longer had the slightest intention of attacking.

……

Until all Cao Xueyang's soldiers and horses entered the red leaf plain, Zhang Shimei did not move.

The Longwu Army who arrived at Hongye Plain immediately pushed the chariot forward and arranged it into a defensive formation according to their previous training. Then they did not take the initiative to attack. They actually stopped to rest, eat something, and replenish their physical strength.

Zhang Shimei's army on the opposite side had no intention of attacking and began to eat and drink.

It was now approaching noon, and it was indeed time to eat. Both armies could eat.

Although you should have lunch at noon, it seems very unserious when this happens on the battlefield!

Zhang Shimei was also inspecting the soldiers and horses under his command. While inspecting, he discovered that one group of soldiers and horses was different from the others. Not only did the whole battalion of soldiers and horses not eat, but the atmosphere was solemn and they were ready for battle.

"Go and call the commander of this camp!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, the soldiers came with the commander of the battalion.

"The last general, Zhao Nian, meets the general!" The person who came was a young general, very energetic.

"Why don't your troops have lunch!?"

Faced with the inquiry from the top general in the army, the young general did not panic, "General, I have ordered that the entire battalion of soldiers have lunch on the Confederate Army's position. In the past, some people destroyed this meal. Today, we will follow the ancients and destroy it." This is lunch." Zhang Shimei's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I have great morale, take down Zhou Jun, and I will send you canned food... Ah, no, I will kill the sheep for you!"

Zhang Shimei didn't know why she said "canned", but when the atmosphere reached this point, the word jumped out!

"Young man, yes, you can always come up with something new!"

Encouraged by Zhang Shimei, this young guerrilla became even more motivated!

To destroy this imperial food, the words came out in "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan": Cheng Gong: Master Chen Yu'an. Bing Xia was the Marquis of Qi. When Chou meets his father, he is on the right. Jin Jie Zhang Yu but Ke. Zheng Qiu is on the right. Qi Hou said. Yu Gujian destroyed this and came to eat. Don't mind galloping.

Although this allusion seems to be very morale, the irony is that Qi Qinggong was defeated miserably by the Jin army and was even almost captured. He only escaped with his life when he was rescued by his close minister Feng Chou's father.

A typical example of failing to win a cup and getting slapped in the face instead!

As long as Zhang Shimei and the school captain were more educated, they would not think that this allusion was a good sign.

……

About half an hour later, both parties had eaten and drank enough.

With the sound of the horn and the rumble of the war drum, the decisive battle will begin on this red leaf field.

Red leaves are an excellent place for a head-on battle.

Surrounded by mountains, there is a broad plain in the middle, and two valleys at both ends. The plain is sandwiched between the valleys, like a fight to the death.

"Woo~"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The horn company camped, the war drums beat, the flags covered the sky, and the dust covered the sun.

Long Wujun set up their formation in the shortest possible time! Perhaps their combat experience is far inferior to that of King Zhao's army, but their uniformity and discipline in the army have surpassed all the armies of Zhou Dynasty.

Formation is a subject they have been trained on since they were new recruits.

Then Cao Xueyang rode out on horseback and arrived in front of the army. The ordinary carriage seemed to have a mechanism underneath, and it slowly rose to a height of about five feet.

Just when everyone didn't know what they were doing, Cao Xueyang rode forward and suddenly used force to lift the black cloth covering the carriage.

What had been hidden on the carriage appeared in front of the soldiers.

This is a coffin, a black coffin.

Since ancient times, the black coffin has been believed to have killed its owner with a sword.

"This is the coffin prepared by my governor. If I win this battle, I will use this coffin to restrain the enemy general. However, if unfortunately I lose, I will not survive. I will kill myself here and be buried in this coffin!"

……

At this moment, Long Wujun's battle formation fell into extreme silence.

But the hearts of almost all the soldiers were beating violently, and their chests seemed to be burning with fire. They would not stop fighting!

Carrying the coffin and going into battle, it’s so fierce!
Either the enemy dies, or I die!
Sun Bin once mentioned in his art of war that "the right time, the right place, and the right people", and this move of "carrying a coffin to go to war" is definitely a death blow and a great evil move that violates the "right people".

Above the Blue Star, Long Qie, the general of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, Zeng Tianyang of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zuo Zongtang, the famous general of the late Qing Dynasty, and Feng Zicai, the anti-French hero, all once played a coffin-carrying expedition.

But in the end, two of us used it, and two of our enemies used it!
This trick is not effective just by using it. It must be adapted to local conditions, time and people.

If Cao Xueyang was just a temporarily transferred general, then using this move in the Longwu Army would definitely not have the same effect as it does now!
But the current Longwu Army was built bit by bit by Cao Xueyang, from scratch. From personnel recruitment and training, classification of arms, and matching of tactics.

Long Wujun is Cao Xueyang’s child!
There will be a heart to die, and the scholar will not be greedy for life!
At this moment, the morale of the Longwu Army, which was still slightly sluggish, was ignited by Cao Xueyang's coffin carrying on the expedition!

"Today, I will protect the Emperor of Sheji and repay Commander Cao's kindness! All officers and men, follow me to kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The man is so angry that he can move mountains!
……

Zhang Shimei, who was on the opposite side, was also shocked by the sudden loud shouts of killing that erupted from the Longwu Army.

He didn't expect that Cao Xueyang could boost the morale of the Longwu Army to this point under such circumstances, but he still underestimated this woman!
Carrying the coffin and fighting, I didn’t expect him to have such courage!

However, although this trick can boost morale, it is just a crooked approach.

Zhang Shimei didn't know about Zuo Zongtang and Feng Zicai on Blue Star. He only knew that Long Qie, the general under the Overlord of Chu, and Pang De, the general of Cao Wei, both carried the coffin and went to war. Unfortunately, neither of them had a good result.

The crooked ways will eventually lose to this overwhelming trend!

"Cavalry in formation!"

At any time, King Zhao’s army trusts the cavalry the most!
Ever since the cavalry appeared on the battlefield, he has been the king on the battlefield, especially the heavy armored cavalry. On such a large plain, Zhang Shimei didn't know how the Zhou army needed to resist the charge of his own cavalry.

The chilling atmosphere on the battlefield was almost solidified. The two armies were approaching each other, but they were only a thousand steps away!

Zhu Shihong, the general of King Zhao's army, has arrived in front of the cavalry with a big ax in his hand. He will personally lead the most elite Youyun cavalry of King Zhao's army to charge.

For King Zhao's army, the tactics of this battle were very simple.

Use the powerful charge group of cavalry to break through the center of Longwu Army, and then spread to its two wings. The remaining troops and horses flank the enemy's two wings, and Longwu Army will be defeated.

This tactic is simple, but practical!

If the enemy is the Tiance Army, then they can completely rely on the Tiance Army's cavalry to attack King Zhao's Army! Not afraid of this tactic at all!
It's a pity that the Longwu Army doesn't have such elite cavalry! ?

"Cavalry! Charge with me!"

As Zhu Shihong's horses stood up and neighed, King Zhao's cavalry began to move!
The heavy cavalry with both men and horses began to activate, and every time the horse's hoof fell seemed to step on people's hearts!
As the charge started, the enemy seemed to start to tremble slightly!
It is overwhelming and overwhelming.

The impact of heavy cavalry on the plains was irresistible. At least before this, no one could resist the impact of heavy cavalry head-on.

The fishing and hunting clan of Houjin were very strong and good at fighting, but they still had to stay away when encountering the heavy cavalry of King Zhao's army. Houjin even imitated the tactics of King Zhao's army and built Tiefu Tu and Guaizima. If you can't beat it, join!
At the same time that the cavalry of King Zhao's army was activated, the 36 Tianji ballistas of Longwu's army were already ready to go.

"Tianji Crossbow! Release!"

36 crossbows shot out quickly, directly attacking the charging heavy cavalry formation!
Zhu Shihong, who was leading the cavalry charge, couldn't help but smile. The Southern Army was still following the same old routine. Although the Tianji Crossbow's crossbow could pose a certain threat to the massed cavalry charge, it was not enough to break their formation.

Facing the oncoming crossbow, Zhu Shihong swung an ax directly without dodging.

Break a mountain with one axe!
The ax blade of the attached true essence cut a crossbow with tremendous power straight into two.

By borrowing the power of thousands of armies and blessing one person, Zhu Shihong at this time is a master of the realm of heaven and earth, and he can fight!
However, the remaining knights did not have Zhu Shihong's martial arts skills. The 35 crossbows created 35 gaps in the cavalry's charge formation.

The power of the crossbow gun inspired by the power of eight oxen is enough to penetrate three to five heavy armored cavalry.

Under this round of volley, hundreds of heavily armored cavalry fell on the charging path, trampled by the following cavalry horses, and no bones were left.

This level of attack was not enough to stop King Zhao's cavalry, but instead inspired their bloody courage!
"charge!"

"kill!"

The cavalry of King Zhao's army rushed towards the outer square of Long Wu's army!
