Chapter 135: The Beginning

Thank you book friends "cyanmars", "Qingquan 0901182318" and "shengsq" for your valuable monthly passes, thank you!

…………………………………………………………………………

Developing tactics and working is not something that can be done immediately, and it takes a lot of preparation.

In fact, Lu Zhe was also facing the dilemma of having to retreat, and the amount of grain and straw that he had prepared in a hurry to fight was already slightly insufficient, and if he continued to confront, he would be about to run out of food.

With continuous efforts, Lu Zhe has been recognized by several people, and he believes that this is a matter of course, rather than a matter of Wang Ba's anger that shocks the world. If you don't get recognition after so much effort, then you can simply wipe your neck and die, and what are you still struggling to do.

Now it's not a team or anything, recognition does not mean unconditional obedience, they will only obey military orders under the permission of the framework, and want them to follow with all their hearts, Lu Zhe has to be more excellent and hardworking, so that people can see the future and interests.

There was one thing that Lu Zhe didn't say to anyone, and the scouts found that two groups of Baiyue people had rushed to Jiangling, one was about 20,000 people, and the other was about 30,000 people.

These two Baiyue people do not belong to Ouyue differently, the one of 30,000 people is Guiyue, and the one of 20,000 people is one of Minyue.

To be honest, the significance of supporting Gangneung now is not how to suppress the rebellion of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, but how to reverse the current advantage against the Baiyue people, and if it continues to be so erosive, Nanjun may become a territory on the map like Qianzhong County, and the actual control has been lost.

On the surface, it seems that the camp will continue to be closed. Preparations are already in full swing inside.

The Baiyue people on the other side are still scolding, but the number of people who come out to scold is decreasing, and Yi Huze seems to be deliberately delaying time. In the case that the Qin army closed the camp and did not fight, it did not rely on the advantage of numbers to directly fight the camp battle.

It stands to reason that the Qin army's camp is not impregnable at all, as long as you are willing to pay a sufficient price, you can storm the Qin army's camp with only one fence.

At that time, it was better to start a melee battle, that is, a "bad war" in the actual sense, which was more advantageous to Baiyue, at least the Qin army had a battle formation, and Baiyue did not.

Yi Huze didn't do that, he showed enough patience to wait, as if the confrontation with the Qin army had reached some purpose.

On the sixth day, the Qin army continued to reduce the torches for three consecutive nights. The fire in the camp became faint.

If it becomes like this for a while, the Baiyue people may notice something, but the gradual decline is not so obvious, and the Baiyue people seem to be used to scolding the Qin army during the day. A war mode that rests at night and continues to scold during the day?

No! Lu Zhe didn't think that things would be so easy, he knew very well that there were very eyes staring at the camp in the dark, and he still needed an opportunity to make the entire tactical deployment work.

On the eleventh day, the Baiyue people really launched a temptation that night. More than 2,000 Baiyue soldiers approached the Qin army camp silently. Approaching the fence, just as the Baiyue officer leading the team thought that the Qin army camp was empty, a desolate horn sounded.

Lu Zhe, who had been prepared for a long time, ordered the horn to sound, and the entire Qin army camp became as bright as day, and the Qin army, which had been familiar with the terrain for so long, had already prepared the left and right flanks, and waited for the troops to come up at this moment, and the troops in the middle would counterattack again.

Yi Huze, who was puzzled, saw Qin Jun blowing the horn and smiled brightly. He also ordered the troops to assemble, and suddenly the war drums of "dong dong dong" were also sounded in the camp of the Baiyue people.

Lu Zhe was already waiting for this day. Although he believed that the Baiyue people would not fight large-scale night battles, he still ordered the officers to annihilate the enemy's tentative troops as soon as possible for the sake of safety.

The battle lasted only a quarter of an hour or so, and the battle was over by 10,000 troops who had tried the camp by 10,000 troops, waiting for the horn to blow again.

It takes time to assemble troops, and it is not a short time to say that they will assemble at three or two moments, and Yi Huze seems to feel as if he has done something wrong, and he should have assembled his troops in advance when he sent out a tentative force.

"It's so fast!" Yi Huze was relieved to see that the Qin army did not abandon the camp and flee as the tribal elders said, and was surprised that the two thousand troops who went to the test were surrounded and annihilated so quickly: "It's too fast, could it be that the Qin army has been ready to wait for this moment a long time ago?" ”

The Qin army is still there, and it seems that the combat effectiveness is not as unbearable as imagined, so they closed the camp and did not fight, and many Baiyue people felt that it was very important to be able to test this result.

Gathering troops and repairing the damaged fence, the Qin army retreated back to the camp again, and the camp returned to its dim appearance.

"It's the hour!" Lu Zhe was draped all over his body, "Within an hour, I want the whole army to be ready to fight!" ”

The officers who had been patiently waiting for seven or eight days were also waiting for this moment, and when they saw that the enemy had indeed launched a night attack, their original doubts were alleviated, and they all responded loudly when they received orders.

The troops under Lu Zhe's command have basically been organized, and the efficiency of the execution after the formation of the transmission chain of orders is not the sluggishness that it was when there was no organization. Of course, since the establishment has not been formed for a long time and has not been run-in, it is unlikely that the implementation will be very fast.

Time was slowly passing, and the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, and the scouts who were in charge of monitoring the Baiyue people were already reporting the military information every half hour.

"The Baiyue people still have a force of 3,000 people ready to fight, as long as Yi Huze finds out that something is wrong, the enemy army of 3,000 people will immediately pursue it!" Lu Zhe looked at the starry moonless sky, and then at the night around the camp: "The time given to us won't be too long, so we must grasp the time well!" ”

Groups of soldiers have been assembled, and the officers are explaining something in the queue, and they will look at the position of the Chinese army from time to time, as if waiting for some signal.

An hour is a short time for many people, but an hour is so long at certain moments.

At this moment, the difference between elite and non-elite is revealed. The Qin army was ready to go within half an hour after receiving the military order, but the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms were busy for a full hour and a half before they were ready to fight.

"Gongwei, Ji Bu, you go ahead according to the plan. And survey the terrain of the intended battlefield and be ready at any time. Lu Zhe looked at the person in charge of leading the second echelon, "After Gongwei and Ji Bu set off with three thousand five hundred people, the three thousand five hundred people of the second echelon set off in a quarter of an hour. ”

Everyone silently bowed their hands to show their understanding.

Lu Zhe looked at Xu Zhi, Mei Kai, Su Lie and the others: "The last 5,000 people and I are the last echelon. ”

The last echelon is the broken rear troops, Lu Zhe chose to be in charge of the broken rear has long been known by the officers, to be honest, they have an indescribable mood in their hearts.

The chief general of the First Army. Although they are temporary commanders, they choose to break down on their own at the moment of emergency, and they can see from this that a young man is trying to take responsibility.

"You can't ask too much of him anymore." Some people are thinking.

However, not everyone can understand. It is more like a confrontation where there is no right or wrong, only a position, and in the eyes of these people, any small flaw will be infinitely magnified and even attacked. They always think that everything is right only in their own ideas, for example, no matter how reasonable something is, they think they will do better if they do it themselves. It doesn't take into account the realities of the situation. There will only be accusations and abuse.

Lu Zhe looked at Li Yuncong, Liang Qu, and Haojian, and he could see disbelief and a kind of ridicule in the eyes of these three people.

In fact, among these three people, in addition to Li Yuncong, there are more than 20 armor soldiers, and the troops of the other two have been transferred to the command of other officers.

Haojian and Liang Qu have been struggling, they believe that the temporary master has no right to deprive the five hundred lords of command, and once they even insulted them.

Lu Zhe did not take drastic measures, he turned a deaf ear to many of the current insults, as long as this battle was won, then he would have enough prestige to deal with these people. Until then, it is enough to successfully remove their command, and any drastic measures will only alienate the others. That would not be good for the rest of the battle.

In fact, some abuse is nothing, Lu Zhe has already chosen a good path, a person will not be recognized by everyone for doing anything, he just needs to move forward according to the path he has chosen, and in the process of moving forward, he will attract more like-minded people to participate, which is his choice.

After losing the troops under his command, Liang Qu and Haojian, including Li Yuncong, have been ordered to stay in the position of the Chinese army, and Lu Zhe can't tolerate a little mistake now, and chooses to monitor the nearest when the three of them are resentful.

Everything was ready, and the scouts also sent back the Baiyue people, but they were on alert and had no intention of launching a night attack again, and Lu Zhe told him again to let the lieutenant and Ji Bu take the vanguard to start first.

In the night, a force composed of 1,000 Qin troops and 2,506 soldiers set out, and the direction of their march was east, where there was a plain twenty miles deep, which was the decisive battle venue that Lu Zhe had prescribed.

After the vanguard was deployed, the nearly 10,000 troops who remained in the camp began to be on the highest alert, and this was the most dangerous moment for them, as long as the Baiyue people sensed that something was wrong with the camp, a night battle with no limit on scale was inevitable.

There are many grasses and forests in the south, and it is impossible to completely remove the enemy's "eyes" in this environment, so any accident is possible.

Before winning, Lu Zhe, who is familiar with military books, knows this very clearly, and he is also mentally prepared.

After the lieutenant and Ji Bu left the camp, they did not go straight in the predetermined direction, they made a small detour, even if they were discovered by the Baiyue people, it was difficult to determine their intentions for a while.

"The first echelon is the safest, their detour is the right flank of our left flank enemy camp, and even if they are discovered, they will think that we are going to carry out a retaliatory night attack." Lu Zhe smiled at the nervous crowd: "The second echelon is one step late, but in a real sense, the second echelon escorting the baggage will arrive at the destination earlier than the first echelon." ”

What is the truth of this? In this era when there is no geometry, no regular circle, and no three-dimensional concept, almost no one understands the knowledge of spacing, they just know that the first echelon of the road should arrive first when it sets off, and does not take into account the necessary detour and delay time.

"In the true sense of the word, the second echelon is also not the first to reach its destination." Lu Zhe didn't like to play with the unpredictable, he was just telling the facts: "There was already a simple camp of 2,000 troops there. Always have enough food ready for us to go. ”

Almost immediately, people who heard the words there immediately reacted, and they thought to themselves, "yes." There are still nearly 50,000 people from the Six Kingdoms in Yiling, and it is not difficult for the Lord to mobilize some people to make advance preparations. ”

They guessed correctly, Lu Zhe's control was not limited to this battlefield, he not only sent people to deliver orders to Yiling, but even began to get in touch with some people in Jiangling. Initial contacts and exchanges have been slow, but they have made a good start.

There are some things that can increase confidence, but choose the right time. The time is not right, no matter how good the news is, the effect will be different. This is just the first confidence that Lu Zhe injected, and there will be a second and a third. For so many days, he didn't wait for death!

The fifteenth minute after the departure of the first echelon. The second echelon is drawn in strict accordance with the time.

In fact, in this era when the concept of time is not too strict, there is no need for this, but if Lu Zhe wants to establish the image that he knows how to strategize, then the image project is extremely necessary.

After Lu Zhe set off in the second echelon, he immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.

Again, that's the same sentence. There are no absolute fools in the world. The Baiyue people will judge that the Qin army is going to do a retaliatory night attack because of the small detour of the first echelon, and wait for them to find out that the night attack in the judgment has not arrived, and the second echelon of the Qin army has been sent, so it is strange not to notice that something is wrong.

"In an hour, the Baiyue people will not be able to send more than three thousand troops in an hour." Lu Zhe's tone was very arbitrary, yes, it was arbitrary: "We will engage this 3,000 enemy army in the camp, and use the fastest and most ferocious posture and the fastest time to annihilate this enemy army that rushed into the camp again." This caused the enemy commanders to hesitate and think that we were trying to ambush their troops. ”

The rest of the words don't need to be said. As long as the Baiyue people can eat the 3,000 people who rushed into the camp before they had time to react to the pressure of the whole army, Lu Zhe can almost be sure that the Baiyue people will be confused again, as long as they appear to be hesitant, then the tactical goal will be achieved!

Time passed little by little, and the light of the silent camp was still very dim, although the light was insufficient, but looking in from the outside, you could still clearly see that the whole camp was not moving.

A Baiyue spy hiding in the grass, he moved his body like a caterpillar to get closer to the Qin army's camp little by little.

The Baiyue spy lying in the grass, when he saw that the Qin army camp was empty, he obviously thought that he was wrong, and he couldn't help but move forward and keep moving closer.

That's right, the spy rubbed his eyes and observed the camp a few times, and he felt that it was right, there was no trace of the Qin army in the camp in front of him.

"It's empty, the enemy has fled." With such a thought in his heart, the spy hesitated and stood up until he was fully up, "Hurry back," and a series of roars of wah-wh-wah went far away in the silent night.

If the spy hadn't yelled and ran back, it would have been really hard to find such a person, but this "wow" shout and run could be clearly seen by Mei Kai, who was hiding in the camp tent, through the gap.

Mei Kai is a famous archer, and he is a very good archer. The archer relied on his eyesight in addition to his arm strength, and although he could still see the Baiyue spy running wildly, he could still see it.

"Order," Mei Kai looked at the few soldiers next to him, "the archers are ready to fight." ”

The soldiers who received the signal immediately went out of their tents, and they ran to the rest of the tents that had been deliberately moving forward, and informed them one by one.

Looking down from the sky, the entire camp of the Qin army has been divided into several pieces, and the entire front is a staggered tent, leaving a large open space in the back.

Some of the figures who were running through the tent to block the view ahead, they were informing the officer of the order.

About two thousand five hundred soldiers were sent out to the rear after being notified, and the rest of the soldiers, except for the archers, moved to the flanks.

"The pocket has been formed," Lu Zhe looked intently at the hastily drawn topographic map, "listen to this movement...... Baiyue people are going to make a move. ”

It should be said that Baiyue people have already fried the pot.

Yi Huze had already been called out twice in a row as soon as he lay down.

The first time was when he found out that the Qin army was doing a small detour, thinking that it was the Qin army that was going to do a retaliatory night attack, and when they were ready to deal with it, the Qin army did not kill, to be honest, at that time, Yi Huze was still very proud, thinking that it was the Qin army that found that he was ready and did not attack.

The second is that there are spies who have reported that the Qin army has left the camp again. Yi Huze subconsciously thought that the Qin army did not give up and wanted to attack at night, so he just ordered to prepare for defense.

Night raids will cause losses, this is inevitable. But they want to rely on night attacks to completely crush the enemy army. This requires too many conditions to be achieved.

"Night attack, night attack, I have a lot of people." This was what Yi Huze thought at the time.

The tribal form of the army has a common characteristic, that is, scattered and chaotic, can you expect that the commander of such an army will get real military information?

It's not that there are no spies reporting on the movements of the two Qin armies, but Yi Huze has been leading the army to confront the Qin army for too many days, and a unique inertia has paralyzed his thinking. He thought that the two Qin armies on the periphery must be bait, and wanted to lure out his own army by nightfall. And then what kind of trick to encircle and annihilate.

"The Qin army is strong in combat, it is useless to send less, and the Qin army will retreat if it sends more. I'm not fooled. ”

It can't be said that Yi Huze is a fool, he is in the game, and he is not a book friend of God's mode.

At the same time, the war between Baiyue and the Qin army in history was really like that, and one Qin army needed two Baiyue people to fight. Ten Qin troops needed thirty Baiyue people to fight. A hundred Qin troops need five hundred Baiyue people to fight against ...... The more people in the Qin army, the more the number of Baiyue people will be, which has almost become a common sense of Baiyue people.

I didn't know what Lu Dao was before, but Yi Huze could make a judgment, that is, the commander of the Qin army in front of him also deliberately wanted to delay time. Although he didn't know what the reason was for Lu Dao, he really saw that Lu Zhe just didn't want to reinforce Jiangling. To be honest, he was a little confused, and several times he tried to find that it was not the Qin army's combat effectiveness. This made him even more confused.

Yi Huze is willing to grind slowly like this, anyway, his food can still support an army of 40,000 for two months. The Qin army on the opposite side had better stay here and not move, as long as Jiangling was captured by the tribe's allies, then the Qin army in front of him would definitely become a turtle in the urn.

The subconscious inertia is not so easy to reverse, and the information sent back by the spies is gradually increasing, and Yi Huze, who is still in the inertia of thinking, is becoming more and more hesitant: "Is it a plan, or what, this is not like that Lu Zhe's ......" Just thinking of this, I heard shouting outside.

What the!? The camp of the Qin army is already empty?

Yi Huze was stunned for a full five minutes, and he stood up like an angry person who had been deceived: "I really didn't see any figures? ”

The spy cursed and swore an oath, telling what he saw, and finally swearing: "Really, if there were people, I would have been less than far from the Qin military camp at that time," and said a figure equivalent to fifty paces in length, "It's so close, I'm yelling again, if there were people I should have been shot to death." ”

"Damn!" Yi Huze clenched his fists and waved constantly, "Let Wu Que bring someone up to test it!" ”

Angry? No, Yi Huze was still very sensible, he let the 3,000-strong troops in charge of the guard attack, and ordered a force of 20,000 people to be assembled.

The rumbling war drums reached the Qin army camp, and Lu Zhe listened to the sound of the war drums of "dong dong dong" and arranged the position of the army formation under his command in an orderly manner.

At this time, the Qin army had 2,000 people lined up in a military formation, and their position was at the front of the enemy's rush in to penetrate the tent, just facing the enemy's charging route. Of the two thousand, there were 1,000 spearmen, and the rest were soldiers of the Six Kingdoms.

On the left and right flanks were troops of 1,500 men each, each of whom had a 300-man archer, and the rest were soldiers of the Six Kingdoms.

The loud shouts could already be heard clearly, and the distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer.

Wu Que, who led the three thousand subordinates to attack, was also a cautious figure, he divided the three thousand subordinates into two parts, and now the forward has broken the fence set up by the Qin army and rushed in, and it seems that he has not encountered the resistance of the Qin army?

"What's the situation? Did the Qin army really abandon the camp and flee!? Wu Que didn't believe it, but what he saw with his own eyes really didn't find that the Qin army had resisted, "Rush!" Rush it all! ”

The 3,000 Yue men all crossed the fence one after the other, and when they rushed into the camp, they were blocked by the rows of tents, and they were divided into small groups in an uncontrollable situation.

Wu Que personally rushed into a tent, and he found that of course there was no Qin army in the tent, but it was really empty. He was about to send someone to report the military situation to the camp when a desolate trumpet sounded suddenly.

The Baiyue people who rushed through the tent area continued to run forward, they didn't notice that there were many bonfires around them, and there were so many fires here, but it was even more abnormal that there was darkness ahead.

Lu Zhe, who was standing in the dark, motioned to Wei Han.

Wei Han grabbed the horn and blew "woo woo".

The Baiyue people who were rushing forward were obviously startled when they heard the sound of the horn, and they subconsciously slowed down.

In the dark area, the sound of bowstrings continued to play, and arrows were shot into the sky, and their long bodies trembled to break through the air, and they kept moving forward...... (To be continued......)
