Chapter 469 469
When Zhaoyang's army arrived in Shucheng, they did not immediately attack Shucheng, but sent scouts to explore the terrain and collect information about Wu Qi.
When you have basically mastered it, you can fight with Wu Qi, so that the chance of winning will be greater.
And in the big camp under Shucheng City, the main general 'Wu Qian' looked at the generals beside him and said: "If we want to make a contribution, we must win the victory of this war, the so-called surprise attack is unprepared, we can't wait for the other party to attack, otherwise we will definitely lose, the Zhaoyang Army is still camping, many things have not been done well, we must take advantage of this they are not ready, launch a strong attack on him!" Wu Qian said to several generals beside him.
These people are all temporarily selected generals, they are the most ferocious prisoners in the prison, and they have a certain dominance in the prison, so Hou Weilong arranged them as generals, as for Wu Qian, he is not a person from the prison, but belongs to the Central Army of Chu State.
Because he violated the military law, if he was dealt with according to the military law, Wu Qian should have been beheaded, but Hou Weilong gave him a chance to live, that is, let Wu Qian lead this group of people to win this war.
For Wu Qian, this is a hope to survive, but for Hou Weilong, this is a disguised implementation of military law, Hou Weilong does not think that without the support of Wu Qi's elite army, this group of people can win the war, I am afraid they will not win a battle.
As for why Wu Qian was asked to be the main general, the main reason is that Wu Qian was born in the army and has a certain military ability, so the defeat will not be too fake, and it may also give the enemy a heavy blow, so Hou Weilong chose to let Wu Qian be the main general.
If these murderous prisoners are allowed to be the main generals, I am afraid that it will only be a simple suicidal impact, and I am afraid that for an hour, they will not be able to hold on, and the whole army will be wiped out.
In Wu Qi's meaning, let this group of people hold out for a few days outside Shucheng, so that the enemy army can win consecutive battles!
Wu Qian knows some art of war, he knows that if he only relies on guarding, there is no chance of winning at all, and when the opponent's army presses the border, he is afraid that it will be a dead end, so he chose to lead the army to assault, attack its unpreparedness by surprise, and give the other party a heavy blow!
Wu Qian mobilized 20,000 people, and they were armed with knives, which Wu Qi specially equipped them, after all, this group of people wanted to disguise themselves as Wu Qi's elite troops, if they went with hoes, people would know at a glance that this was not an elite army, just a group of militia.
And while Zhaoyang was still in a meeting, he heard the sound of a fight outside, and he shouted: "Come on, what's going on?" ”
And the group of nobles also shouted, and at this time, a soldier came in, knelt on the ground and said: "King Zhao, the enemy army led the army to assault and rushed into our army's position, but our army has reacted quickly to resist the enemy!" ”
Wu Qian's surprise, coupled with the fact that the opponent's defense line had not yet been arranged, Wu Qian led the army to rush into the enemy's position, but the combat ability of this group of soldiers was low, and there was no strong mobile cavalry corps, as soon as they entered, they were intercepted by Zhaoyang's legion.
It was quite difficult to take a step forward, but Wu Qian did not give up in order to survive, and kept roaring there, letting the soldiers rush forward.
But the Zhaoyang Army in front of it, although it was much worse than Wu Qi's army, was also a veteran who had received a certain amount of training, fought many battles, and had relatively sufficient experience.
And the impact is nothing more than a group of soldiers with no military training, although they are all prison thugs, fighting fiercely, maybe something, but in front of the group of professional troops in front of them, the strength is very small.
And when Zhaoyang first heard that the enemy army launched a surprise attack and rushed into his position, he was still very afraid, because the war in which the Qi army raided the Yan army basically became a textbook for cavalry raids, and he Zhaoyang also studied it at the beginning.
And he was afraid that this Wu Qi, like Kuang Zhang back then, would lead a very powerful agitated army to launch a surprise attack on him, drive straight in, and directly defeat him.
But he was relieved to hear that his subordinates had stopped the enemy, because as long as he stopped the opponent's onslaught, as long as he continued to replenish his forces and defend, he could turn the disadvantage into an advantage, and the situation on the battlefield would gradually shift to his side.
After all, this is his position, his home field, and he has a million heroes!
Zhaoyang looked at the soldier who was passing the word and said: "Increase the number of troops, go to the front line, you must not let the enemy army take a step forward!" ”
"No!" After the soldier finished speaking, he turned and left.
And Zhaoyang was silent, thinking in his heart, can he hold on to the impact of this other party? After all, Wu Qi's legion was famous and very powerful, and he was afraid that his soldiers would not be able to stop the other party at all.
Wu Qian fought relatively easily at the beginning, but with the soldiers on Zhaoyang's side, they were replenished little by little, which made Wu Qian a little difficult, and Zhaoyang was still cutting off their back road when replenishing the soldiers.
It was very difficult for them to retreat, and Wu Qian saw that the strength of this Zhaoyang Legion was increasing, and he knew that if he continued to fight here for a long time, he would definitely be defeated, and he would die here!
A general looked at Wu Qian: "General, if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that we will be wiped out by the other party soon, and the enemy army is cutting off our rear road, why don't we evacuate?" If you don't evacuate, I'm afraid that because you want to evacuate, you can't evacuate! ”
This general also found something wrong, because the other party's people are fighting more and more, and the opponent's fighting style has a certain organization, although they are very brave, but they are all fighting separately, there is no organized formation, it is easy to be killed by the cooperation of many people on the other side.
Wu Qian took a deep breath: "It seems that what I think is too simple!" ”
"Withdraw!" Wu Qian shouted, Wu Qian also knew that if they continued to fight like this, when the other party completely cut off their back road, they would be wiped out, and he would stay here at that time!
Wu Qian launched the order to withdraw the army, and the soldiers immediately turned around and fought back, but the soldiers in the rear had not yet set up any formation, and the strength was not enough, and the encirclement network was not formed at all.
As long as Wu Qian and the others fight desperately, they can still fight out!
And at this time in Shucheng.
"Teacher, Wu Qian has led troops to raid the Zhaoyang Legion!" Hou Weilong looked at Wu Qi and said.
"This is indeed a good way, before the Zhaoyang Legion has not set up a formation, launch a surprise attack on the Zhaoyang Legion, let the opponent's camp be confused, and carry out a decapitation operation, so as to win the victory of this war" Wu Qi expressed great appreciation for Wu Qian's idea.
