Chapter 51 51
After the Battle of Pengcheng in Qi and Yue, the Qi army switched from offensive to defensive, and the Yue army changed from defensive to offensive.
In the camp of the Qi army, Sun Bin realized a problem, that is, there are not many soldiers, but they are ......
Although the Qi army looks huge, it is actually a group of rabble, and the only ones who can fight are the Lubei Army and the Jiaodong Army.
The Yanzhou Legion is a reserve, and the soldiers are composed of young and strong guys from the Qi State, who have not participated in the war or military training, but were simply recruited by the Qi State.
The so-called reserve is to register you as a soldier, and you farm at home in peacetime, and you are forced to answer the call in wartime.
The main purpose of setting up a reserve is to reduce military spending and to increase the number of troops in time of war......
Because they have not experienced military training, the combat effectiveness of the reserve is also quite poor, and the Yanzhou Legion can't even resist the impact of a wave of dancers.
After all, there are only more than 10,000 Yue dancers, but the Yue dancers have a wave, and the reserves of the Yanzhou Legion of Qi have lost more than 60,000 people, and the dancers have only lost a few hundred people......
Of course, when the Yue dancers attacked the Yanzhou Army, the Yue troops in the rear also followed, but it was the Yue dancers who took the lead, and they destroyed the formation of the Qi State......
If it weren't for the fact that Jiaodonghou hurriedly put up a quadrangle in the later period, otherwise, under the leadership of this Yue dancer, the Qi State might have been wiped out this time......
At this time, he was in the position of Qi State.
Sun Bin looked at the generals: "Report to Duke Huan, I am willing to accept the punishment!" ”
Sun Bin thought that the strong attack would cause heavy losses, so he wanted to lure the Vietnamese army to fight with him in the field and defeat the opponent with the advantage of numbers, but what he didn't expect was that his advantage in numbers was not shown, but was dealt with and beaten.
"The general doesn't have to blame himself, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers!" Guan Zhong said to Sun Bin on the side.
"After the first battle, our army lost 100,000 people, I must bear this responsibility, and I am willing to hand over the right to be in charge!" Sun Bin said to Guan Zhong.
This time Sun Bin really didn't feel good in his heart, although his family led the Qi army to defeat the battle, but it was such a miserable defeat, but it was not, and now he took the Qi army to attack the Yue army in the first battle, and it was so disastrous.
Guan Zhong looked at Sun Bin's appearance, shook his head and said, "Since the general is like this in his heart, then I will take back the handsome seal and wait for Duke Huan to arrange the next marshal!" ”
Sun Bin was defeated, this time Sun Bin had no fighting spirit to continue fighting, his heart was full of self-blame, he couldn't continue to lead the Qi army like this.
Guan Zhong wrote a letter to Qi Xiaobai, asking Qi Xiaobai to reappoint the marshal, and the Qi army held its position and watched the Vietnamese army, and there was no large-scale fighting between the two sides these days.
Although there were no large-scale battles, the Vietnamese army often invaded the positions of the Qi army, but fortunately, the Qi army's defense was still good, and the casualties were relatively few, but the army's morale was a little scattered......
Coach Sun Bin has no fighting spirit, and the morale of the army begins to scatter, this kind of thing happens, Guan Zhong has already expected it, so these days, he replaces Sun Bin to restore the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
But Sun Bin has been nesting in the camp tent and can't accept failure......
Qi and Yue were defeated, but these days the battle between Chu and Yue was victorious, killing 10,000 Yue dancers and annihilating as many as 100,000 Yue legions, and was attacking Xuancheng.
Because of the victory of Li Shou's attack, Yue Hui Gongjue's defense was not a method, so that Wu Li took the initiative to engage the Chu army and keep the Chu army out of the country.
However, the king of Chu Huai drove the expedition in person, and the fighting spirit of the Chu army was high, and Wu Li, who had 20,000 Yue dancers, took the initiative to fight with the Chu army under the instruction of Yue Huigong.
King Chu Huai drove the royal expedition and led the standing army of the Yue Kingdom, because it was the royal expedition, and the surrounding Chu nobles also responded to the call of the King of Chu Huai.
This time, King Chu Huai attacked Yue and mobilized a total of 800,000 people......
The bravery of King Chu Huai also made Wu Yuan is admiration from the bottom of his heart, but it also made Wu Yuan have a trace of fear, and after the defeat, Wu Yuan squatted in Xuancheng and prepared to defend Xuancheng.
The loss of 10,000 Yue dancers was a considerable loss for the Yue Kingdom, and the standing army also lost as much as 100,000......
As long as Xuancheng is broken, it can be said that the Yue Kingdom basically has no troops to resist King Chu Huai, although there are still a lot of Vietnamese troops in Pengcheng, but if they are transferred to defend Huiji or Xuancheng, then the Qi army will be as powerful as a bamboo and the Chu State Division, and the same can defeat the Yue army.
Therefore, after Wu Li took the initiative to defeat the next battle this time, the Yue State only had one line of defense, and the victory of the Qi army in Pengcheng was no longer so important......
If Wu Yuan had defended Xuancheng from the beginning, the Chu army would not have won so easily, and the Yue army would not have lost so many people at once, but the forced battle of Yue Huigong, Wu Yuan had no choice but to fight with King Chu Huai.
King Chu Huai was on the horse at this time, looking at Xuancheng in front of him: "Yue Dancer is nothing more than that!" ”
"King Huai is brave, the world knows that this Yue dancer and King Huai are brave, isn't this an axe?" It was Shaohua, the general of the State of Chu, who spoke.
"But this Yue dancer is also worthy of his reputation, and he is also very brave, but it's a pity that their opponent is our Chu army!" King Chu Huai said to Shaohua.
In fact, in this battle of Chu Yue, the Chu army also lost a lot, but the number of the Chu army was very large, and the Chu army Chu Huai Wang was really brave, the Chu army died a lot in front, and he still rushed to it, at the forefront of the battlefield......
Seeing his own king charging ahead, how could the soldiers retreat? King Huai is not afraid of death, and the soldiers cannot be afraid of death, in this case, King Chu Huai relied on his own bravery and the courage to lead the charge, defeated the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom and won a good start.
In Xuancheng, he looked at the people next to him: "Do you think Xuancheng can hold it?" ”
"This, the Chu army is menacing, hundreds of thousands of troops, I'm afraid it's ......," a general said to Wu Yuan.
"I'm afraid I can't hold it, right? Let me tell you, as long as we defend to the death, then we can defend it, unless this King of Chu Huai wants to attack to the death! Wu Yuan said to the general beside him.
"But then King Chu Huai is so brave, don't want to die, isn't it impossible to attack to the death?"
"I'm also worried about this matter, I just heard that King Mengzhi of Chu Huai before, when I saw it that day, if this is the case, rush to the front, this kind of person is handsome, how can a soldier be timid?" Wu Yuan's mind once again remembered the performance of King Chu Huai's battle......
"However, it's all to blame for Yue Huigong, if they hadn't forced us to fight, we wouldn't have lost, and we wouldn't have lost so many people......"
"Yue Hui Gong is a duke, he forced us to fight, how can there be any reason not to fight? As for Li Shou, do you think he can continue to win? Wu Yuan looked at the lieutenant general and said.
