I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 423 The Battle of Founding a Nation
To carry out the battle for the founding of the country, Zhiyao only brought [-] people, which seems a bit insufficient in terms of ostentation?
However, there are two "divisions" and more than 6 cavalry in the west of Yuanguo, and two "divisions" and more than [-] cavalry in the north. There are still nearly four "divisions" in the country that are exterminating the remnants of the Wei family.The combined strength of these troops is more than [-].

Therefore, the original country has about 14 troops with combat missions at this stage.

Among the 100 people led by Zhiyao, four "brigades" are standing troops, with a number of [-] soldiers; there is a full-staffed regiment, and their armor rate reaches [-]%, and there are even spare troops in the warehouse. There are more than [-] sets of armor; the rest is [-] cavalry, which can be regarded as light cavalry in terms of types.

In terms of the coalition forces, the number of the Chu army is about [-], and the rest are the troops brought by the princes to participate in the "Yongqiu League".

They originally had a strength of about [-], but they were harassed by Zhishi's cavalry along the way. The number of lost manpower was not too many, about [-], but the army as a whole was exhausted.

After learning that the original army was stationed in "Chengqiu", Chu Junzhang fell into a kind of hesitation.

Can I choose?Chu Junzhang still hopes to have a period of rest. They have crossed "Xianqiu" before and then turned back to "Mao".

However, one or two people talked about very reasonable reasons and persuaded Chu Junzhang to choose to lead his army northward.

On the side of the original army.

"The longer it takes, the worse it is for me." Sun Wu said.

According to common sense, the princes should be dispatching troops to the country?It means that the longer the time drags on, the more the number of coalition forces will increase.

Even if Yuanguo now has three directions that need to keep soldiers on guard, it doesn't mean that Zhiyao has no soldiers to adjust, it's just that everything pays attention to cost performance, and if it doesn't play well, it will become a kind of refueling.

Let's put it this way, if Zhiyao continues to draw troops from the country, either it will delay the farming work in autumn, or it will cause a gap in national defense in some areas. After more rigorous planning and calculations, he finally brought [-] troops to the south.

Fan Li, who was serving as guest minister for the time being, said: "The coalition army is rushing back and forth, and our army is constantly harassing and harassing. It's time to be exhausted. Why not go south immediately?"

Sun Wu glanced at Fan Li, and when he met Zhiyao's eyes, he added: "This battle can only be fought in a stately manner, which is the battle for the establishment of a country."

Using various methods such as sneak attacks, the princes will not be reconciled to losing, and it is very likely that they will arouse their mentality of fighting against the enemy, and soon form a coalition army to attack again.

After the hunt officially started, the two sides set up battle formations and fought each other with strength. Whoever loses wins, it's all about the strength of the battle.

Knowing that what Sun Wu said was right, Zhiyao immediately ordered the whole army to move out tomorrow, and at the same time sent envoys to the coalition to inform the princes that they were on their way to "Mao".

According to Zhiyao's knowledge, the "Mao" that will be used as a battlefield is a kind of flat terrain. There must be forests, but it doesn't appear to be very dense. It is indeed a good place for fighting.

"The princes know that there are many cavalry on my side, so why did they choose the flat terrain of 'Mao' as the battlefield?" Zhiyao is more confused about this now, and feels that it is necessary to send enough scouts and scouts to investigate.

The next day.

The army rested for about two quarters of an hour after eating the court food. The two thousand cavalry set off as the lead, and then the infantry and cavalry mixed with a mighty movement.

"There is also a need for scouts to guard the surrounding area." Zhiyao wants to fight the enemy directly this time, and no one can guarantee that the enemy will do something.

No army will look fully armed when marching, and will definitely take off their armor. The heavier weapons will also be temporarily removed. Generally, the armor and heavy weapons are carried by the accompanying pack horses or carriages.

That is, the state of marching is mainly light, otherwise the load is too heavy, and the marching speed is too slow, and at the same time, there is not much physical strength left to wait for the battle.

So, the so-called ambush actually means that when the enemy is not wearing armor and heavy weapons are not in hand, the enemy army suddenly appears. Even if the enemy army is still a little away, the own side still needs time to wear armor and obtain weapons. Generally, there will be no time. What kind of battle formation is there? It’s just that you are prepared to fight or not. It’s not that the distance that the arrow can reach is called an ambush.

In the past, Zhiyao always attacked the enemy by surprise, and he used this method to take advantage of it. It was impossible to see his own army suffer the same blow, so it became necessary to send enough scouts to patrol the surrounding area.

Facts have proved that Zhiyao's defense was correct!

"Your Majesty, the modern cavalry is about ten miles away, and there is another Chu army about twenty miles away. There are more than ten thousand soldiers together."

This is the distance estimated by the scouts who discovered Zhao's cavalry, and it took time to rush back and report.

So, the original country's scouts should have found each other twenty or thirty miles away?

The distance between "Chengqiu" and "Mao" is about eighty miles. The original army found the enemy about an hour after setting off, which means that the original army is still about sixty miles away from "Mao"? (About 5 kilometers on foot for an hour, 500 meters per mile in Yuanguo, and 1000 meters per kilometer)

What is uncertain now is, has the other party found the scouts from the original country?
If Chu Jun and Dai Jun knew that they were exposed, would they choose to turn around and leave, or would they go straight up?
This depends on how many coalition forces come. Wan Yu is the forward, and there are more behind, or there are only Wan Yu.

If it's just more than ten thousand, unless they don't know the fact that their side has been exposed, otherwise it is impossible to move forward.

"Wu, lead [-] cavalry to the west. If the enemy is approaching, look for an opportunity to attack or entangle; if the enemy is fighting with the forward, rescue is needed." Zhiyao responded like this.

Cheng Wu responded with a "No!" and applauded to mobilize the troops.

At present, there are still many imperfections in the original country. Under normal circumstances, arrows are needed to mobilize the army, but for the time being, they can only recognize their faces.

There is no way to do it. Compared with the improvement of the system, the battle of nation-building is more important, and the relevant systems can only be improved one by one later.

Zhiyao sent out heralds again, asking the two thousand cavalry leading the way to pounce on the enemy immediately, as long as they can bite.

In other words, don't you want to fight with an upright attitude?How did it become like this again.

Zhiyao wanted to fight in an upright manner, but the coalition forces wanted to play tricks.

The original country is not the Song country.Under this premise, Zhiyao would be a fool if she didn't act accordingly.

Of course things happened.

There were also scouts from the coalition army secretly spying on the original army, and found that a cavalry of the original army had left the brigade, and then saw that the original army began to pierce armor, distribute weapons, and adjust the formation, and they would definitely go back and report.

The reason why it is taken for granted is that there is no possibility for Zhiyao to let the army encounter a surprise attack without armor and weapons. Pay attention to the movement of the original army.

The later development was that the two thousand cavalry of the original army broke out with the coalition forces, but during the fighting, the Chu army retreated first, and before Cheng Wu led the five thousand cavalry, Zhao Wuxie also retreated with his cavalry.

Facts have proved that if it is the same cavalry, unless one side rides one person and the other side rides more than one person, otherwise it will be more difficult to bite.

After joining forces, the two cavalry of the original army chased for a distance. When they saw the large-scale coalition army, scouts had already gone to report to Zhiyao.

"So, the enemy is camping thirty miles ahead?" Zhiyao's expression was a bit unpredictable.

Looking at it this way, the coalition forces should have chosen to leave "Mao" and head north after receiving the envoys from the original country.

They probably want to sneak attack the original army. To be safe, the army will follow. Fortunately, the battle is in a stalemate, or the sneak attack is successful before continuing to invest more troops.

The current progress has become that both sides are moving forward. It is impossible for the coalition forces to retreat to "Mao" again. Will the battlefield become an unnamed area between "Chengqiu" and "Mao"?
Because the original army turned into a fully armed march, and then the coalition army stayed behind and did not move until around noon the next day, when Zhiyao led the army within ten miles of the coalition camp, the two armies could see each other with the naked eye.

It is very likely that the alliance leader is the relationship between Chu State, or it may be the suggestion given by Zhao Wuji or Gou Jian. The coalition army did not give the original army time to log and camp. Action, followed by the formation of the coalition forces to press on.

"Shuo leads the cavalry to fight against the Zhao family, and Wu leads the army to fight against the Chu army." Zhiyao was talking about Cheng Shuo and Sun Wu.

Zhiyao looked at Huyou again, and said, "It's indecent to come and not to go! The widow will give you three thousand horses, accompanied by tigers, and show off in front of the enemy's stronghold."

The leader of the Fox Clan, Hu Jie, was in the north, mainly to deal with the possible invasion of the Zhao Clan, while his son went south with a small number of warriors.

In the same way, Han Geng was in charge of the west, and his son Han Hu also went south with the army.

Naturally, Zhong Wu, the eldest son of the Zhong family, would not be missing.

Everyone knows this kind of thing well, and looking at it without a standpoint is nothing more than a preventive measure by the monarch.

The premise of not wanting to engage in trouble is actually a practice that is beneficial to both parties. The monarch can feel at ease because he has hostages, and the ministers can also avoid unreasonable suspicion, so they can do things with more peace of mind.

It is only natural that the subordinates will be upset, but many subordinates will take the initiative to submit hostages to the monarch, which is regarded as an unspoken rule.

What happened today completely told the world that the morals of the world have really changed completely.

In the past, the hostile parties had to communicate anyway, and would not even give latecomers the opportunity to camp.

Knowing that she was tired from the distance, Zhiyao still didn't choose to retreat and set up camp.

Of course, it is very likely that no matter how far the original army retreats, the coalition forces will follow up, and it is inevitable to meet and fight.

It is right for Zhiyao to choose to face up.

It is much better than retreating and messing up the formation, and then being pressed by the coalition forces.

On the other hand, Zhiyao ordered the transportation team to unload the military supplies five miles behind, and the vehicles were connected to each other to form an outer barrier.

The battle will not be over after one battle, and it is absolutely impossible to gain a foothold without a camp!

Therefore, the auxiliary soldiers on the original army's side still need to take risks in logging and setting up camps.

"Chaos, right? Let's fight!"

………The following will not be charged………

I didn't want to say it, but these days I really feel like I'm going crazy!The reason is that the silly daughter-in-law was scammed by pretending to be a teacher to check her health, and I didn't know until the bank card was frozen for three days.Cary left only pennies! ! !I've been dealing with this matter recently, and what's worse is that my wife's natal uncle passed away, and now I can't even pay for it, let alone repay the loan, and eating is a problem, I... really don't know what to say up.In this case, I still have to code, and even have to take care of two children alone for the next two days.I really don't want to make everyone feel bad because of my own affairs.
