Chapter 145: The Unexpected

Bow and thank "qwe79" and "Ding Zi" for voting for their valuable monthly passes; At the same time, Xie Lu thanked the "Captain of Shubei" and "Reading Life" enthusiastically.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

With the Ouyue prisoners of war willing to cooperate, Lu Zhejun's driving tactics were adjusted accordingly, no longer to drive the Ouyue people with blood, but to lure them with interests.

The social structure of Baiyue is relatively chaotic, they live in the form of many small tribes, the small tribes are subordinate roles of the large tribes, and the large tribes form a camp in the form of surnames or alliances.

Under the complex social structure, Baiyue is not monolithic, and they are more carefully divided, for example, Guiyue belongs to the Yue people who live in the forest, and Min Yue belongs to the Yue people who live in the mountains. That is, the so-called Lin Yue and Shan Yue. Ouyue was a tribal alliance in between, and their habits would clash with Lin Yue and Shanyue, and the competition for land with the Qin state was so frequent that they were the Baiyue tribe that fought the most with the Qin army.

In these years, the war was fought for only one purpose, that is, to snatch the habitat of life, and there was no national complex to make trouble, the Central Plains people such as national territory had such thoughts, but the Yue people did not. Then again, Baiyue is not a country, but a collective term for many Yue people.

The Ouyue people will not have any psychological burden when they attack Guiyue or Minyue, in fact, before the Qin army started a war with the Yue, Baiyue has been constantly fighting inside.

As the heads of hundreds of singled out prisoners of war fell to the ground, most of the Ouyue prisoners of war chose to attack Guiyue and Minyue under the threat of blood.

The "howling" Ouyue people are charging with sticks, don't expect them to have any tactical formations or anything like that, and don't expect them to all charge desperately.

The Ou Yue charge in Lu Zhe's eyes had no discipline at all, they just hesitated to approach the enemy's camp, and then were knocked to the ground by a large number of arrows shot from the camp.

There were deaths and injuries before they could make contact, and the Ouyue people once again showed their "personality". That is, some people want to retreat, some people stay where they are, and then they are crammed into a mess and cannot retreat.

"Let the archers go up," Lu Zhe frowned, "Send arrows to drive them to storm the camp." ”

Mei Kai faithfully carried out the order, he counted five hundred archers, and asked a thousand teng shield spearmen to guard the two wings, so that the archers could get close to shoot the arrows.

There were arrows being shot in both directions, and the Qin interpreter was yelling again, "Go and get the heads of the Gui and Min people in exchange", the Ouyue people were forced to be divided into two parts, most of them were afraid that the combat power of the Qin army really rushed towards the enemy camp, and some people were very backbone to charge at the Qin archers who were shooting arrows.

Su Lie patted his forehead: "Sure enough, it happened." ”

Lu Zhe smiled and said, "Okay." Now is the time to charge. The spearmen and spearmen pressed down, the shield guards the archers slowly approached and shot arrows, the cavalry units began to look for fighters in a roundabout way, and the heavy infantry and auxiliaries prepared to enter Gangneung. ”

The order is conveyed and the front "Hey! Hey! Hey! The battle horn was shouted again, and a large number of soldiers trotted up.

The charging posture of this reorganized army was actually not much better, except for the two thousand-man teams composed of Qin people who rushed up to maintain the formation, the rest also rushed in chaos.

The Ouyue people who had launched a charge against the archers of the Qin army stopped when they saw the Qin army charging at a halt, and they looked at each other for a long time, and the frequent sound of breaking the air sounded. Under the threat of arrows, he had to turn around again and run wildly.

The way the Baiyue people's camps were built was no different from the way the Central Plains army was built, if there was really a distinction, they were relatively poorly built, with only one fence instead of three, and there was no corresponding rejection of horses as a buffer zone to block the attack.

The Ouyue people, who rushed to the Guiyue camp one after another, fought with the Guiyue people through the fence. The Ouyue people who wanted to overturn the fence heard the "Hey! Hey! Hey! It may have been a morale boost or an outburst of fear, and gradually the fences were torn down and they poured in from those positions.

The Ouyue people who were forced to be in a hurry were about to go crazy. They are now caught in the middle, and not only the Guiyue people are killing them, but the Central Plains people are also killing. But let them choose the object of their desperation, they will choose Gui Yue, who is easier to bully.

Chang Qinqing is now scolding: "The Ouyue people are attacking us together with the Qin army!" They betrayed the Covenant. They have betrayed the covenant! ”

To put it in a contradictory way, Gui Yue and Min Yue knew that Ou Yue was defeated, but they never thought that the Qin people would pretend to be Ou Yue to sneak attack. However, Chang Qinqing and Mu Muxi are not fools, Ouyue has been defeated and another army will come, they will also make the same move as they do now to guard against the Qin army, choosing to temporarily close the camp to observe the situation, and will not let a large number of Ouyue people enter the camp.

Gui Yue lost a lot of manpower after several battles with the defenders of Jiangling, and Chang Qinqing had less than 18,000 people at his disposal, which was still the number of people who were added by the clansmen later. He stared at the direction where he was attacked: "Ask for help, go and ask Mu Mu for help!" ”

The Ouyue people who rushed into the camp were not very brave, they were acting as-stirring sticks to disrupt the defense chain of the Guiyue people, and the soldiers of Lu Zhe's army who killed in the back were the ruthless people who really played the role of butchers.

Gui Yue's warriors were now a little confused, they were ordered to resist all the people who stormed the camp, but they were very confused in the face of Ou Yue's attack. Isn't Ouyue an ally in their opinion? How did you attack with the Qin people! With a sideshow, the combat power will inevitably be discounted, so the fighting spirit is not high.

Ou Yue, who stormed into the camp, was considered to have accepted his fate, they had no choice but to keep rushing, and there was no unified command and they were constantly scurrying, and it was very appropriate to say that they were-stirring sticks.

More than 6,000 soldiers strictly implement the military order to rush fiercely and kill fiercely, and the Baiyue people can distinguish the difference between Guiyue and Ouyue by themselves, but the soldiers look similar, as long as they see them wearing strange clothes after entering the camp, it is a burst of killing.

There are continuous Ouyue people who were killed by the soldiers, and the Ouyue would shout that it was their own people at the beginning, but unfortunately the soldiers could not understand. Ou Yue will not waste saliva in the back, as long as the Qin army is close, he will suddenly avoid other places.

In this way, Ouyue finally really played the role of "pathfinder", Guiyue's camp was washed to pieces, and the offensive of the soldiers attacked more smoothly.

Ji Bu, who led the spearmen to charge, killed very happily, and Lu Zhe made too many preparations before starting the battle. Not only did Ji Bu feel that this would be a hard and excellent battle, but in fact, all the officers subconsciously felt that this battle would not be easy to fight.

What now? With the heavy casualties of Ouyue, the resistance encountered by each of the military marquis who led the soldiers to rush to the killing was not so fierce, and they felt that this was somewhat inconsistent with the preparation in advance.

Some of the military marquis have been carried away by the smooth progress of the war, and they now have only one thought, that is, to kill, and to kill all the way forward.

The few marquis were paying attention to the horn that could be sounded at any moment, and if they penetrated deep into the enemy, it would be more difficult to penetrate the enemy, so they had to cautiously slow down the speed of the attack.

The lack of tacit understanding between colleagues was highlighted again at this moment, and individual military marquis led the army to assault very fiercely. It's almost a dangerous distance from allies, and if you don't slow down and get entangled, you won't be able to support each other.

Several groups of soldiers began to disconnect under different orders, and the cautious marquis saw that many friendly troops had assaulted, and they did not get the order to turn and were worried about being divided, so they could only grit their teeth and lead the army to speed up.

"Those Baiyue people don't seem to be able to withstand the impact?" Lu Zhe was observing the battlefield, "It seems to be easier to fight than imagined, do you want to take advantage of the situation and defeat it directly?" ”

Of course, Lu Zhe noticed that the rhythm of his own troops was also out of order, but in this situation, it was impossible to adjust even if he wanted to, so it was better to turn his thoughts to the direction that was favorable to the battle situation.

Gui Yue's camp was attacked. Seeing that the Qin army's primary target was not himself, he was still gloating at the beginning, and Da Lu laughed a few times, and then he received Chang Qinqing's request for help and was stunned: "What? It's just the beginning, and I can't stand it! ”

The combat effectiveness of the Qin army is very strong, and Mu Mu knows this, but it is not strong enough to destroy Gui Yue with a single charge, right? The first thing he thought of when he received Chang Qinqing's request for help was. Could it be a conspiracy of the Central Plains people, after all, there were only about 15,000 people who attacked Guiyue's camp, but the Qin army still had a force of about 20,000 people who did not join the battlefield.

What kind of resourcefulness do the Central Plains people like to play when they fight, it is a very advanced mode of war. Bai Yue also had enough knowledge to deploy resourcefulness and play the art of war a long time ago. However, since the loss of the "king" of the Yue people, there has been continuous civil strife. Many lineages have been severed.

The rupture of the lineage is a very terrible thing, and the loss of knowledge can make people ignorant. It is precisely because of various reasons that the Baiyue people have no inherited knowledge, and they are finally reduced to being called barbarians by the Central Plains. The Yue people a few hundred years ago were not like this, at that time they were able to annex the state of Wu with 3,000 people (3,000 Yuejia could swallow Wu), and the techniques of controlling gold were also much ahead of the Central Plains, and they created a lot of divine weapons, such as cadres and Mo Ye. But that's a long way off.

Minyue still has about 20,000 combat strength, but after several days of fighting, he is very tired, and Mu Muyu asked people to explore the real situation of Guiyue's camp.

In fact, there is no need to investigate, Guiyue's confidence, which has not been supported by Minyue for a long time, is about to collapse, and Chang Qinqing, the leader of Guiyue, who can't support it, is gathering the elite to prepare for a breakthrough.

Lu Zhe, who had been paying attention to the battlefield, keenly discovered that something was wrong with the enemy, and the attacking troops were about to kill the middle of the Guiyue camp, but the Minyue camp, which had not been attacked, did not send troops to support but closed the camp and was mobilizing troops.

“…… Come! Lu Zhe's breath was a little short, "Kuaima conveyed an order to Yan Bi, asking them to launch an attack on the Guiyue camp from the flank, in order to deal with the soldiers on the frontal battlefield!" ”

No matter what it was, the abnormalities shown by Gui Yue and Min Yue were too obvious, and Lu Zhe couldn't tell if it was a conspiracy, but it always didn't hurt to test it.

"Commander, our army is almost ready to attack the Guiyue Central Army," the communist lieutenant Chi asked: "When you get to the position of the enemy's Chinese army, it will become difficult to kill it again, is it ......" Seeing that it was good, he was not said to be out, he could see Lu Zhe's expression as if he was fighting between heaven and man.

"Gui Yue and Min Yue have been attacking Jiangling for four days in a row, and the losses of the defenders of Jiangling are around 80,000," Lu Zhe thought quickly, "Even if the defenders are no longer able to fight, they will kill and injure the other party, so how much combat power does the enemy still have now?" ”

It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zhe must make a decision in the shortest possible time, but without enough intelligence to support it, any choice is extremely risky. He was a little undecided.

There are people running around everywhere, and their ears are full of miserable howls and incomprehensible Central Plains shouts, Chang Qinqing's people asking for help have already sent Lu to Wubo, but the damned Minyue people didn't even send troops to rescue, he scolded: "Don't you know what it means to have cold lips and teeth!?" If we're done, they won't survive! ”

Of course, Mu Muyu knew what it meant to have cold lips and teeth, but it was precisely because of Zhilu Dao that he chose to close the camp to make his own preparations.

"There are more than 200,000 people from the Central Plains in Jiangling, and nearly 40,000 reinforcements have come, and the total number is about 250,000," Mu Mu looked gloomily at the Guiyue camp that shook the sky. "There are only 20,000 people on my side, and even if you add Gui Yue's remnants, there are less than 30,000 people, how can you fight with the 250,000 Central Plains people?"

At this moment, Mu Muxuan had one more object of cursing, and that person was Fan Zeng, who was killed by Lu Zhe. It was Fan Zeng who persuaded them to come over, and swore that there would be rioters to cooperate with them. Now not only is Fan Zeng gone, but the rebels who said they would cooperate did not take out the heads of Tu Sui and Ren Huan but resisted desperately, what the hell does this mean.

In fact, if Fan Zeng hadn't been killed, then this old man's layout could be said to have a great chance of success. It's a pity that Fan Zeng was killed by Lu Zhe, and the entire layout lacked a pivotal contact person in the middle link, so the layout was "broken" from the beginning.

"Hurry up and ......", the words are not finished. The defenders of Jiangling really attacked, and nearly 30,000 defenders rushed to Gui Yue's flank with a shout, and sweat broke out on Mu Mu's forehead, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Bring the necessary food and grass. We took advantage of Guiyue to attract the attention of the enemy army and retreated quickly! ”

Lu Zhe estimated his strength too low, and overestimated the enemy's combat strength, and all his arrangements became a joke when Minyue opened the camp gate and chose to flee despite Gui Yue's besiegement.

"Commander, another enemy force is fleeing!" The co-lieutenant was excited.

The previous arrangement is no longer suitable for the present. Lu Zhe did not hesitate to give an order to the auxiliary troops who had been waiting for the order: "Yi Kan led the army to join the attack on Gui Yue!" Xu Zhi, Gongwei, Zhao Xian, Kunchuan, and Wuliang restrained the troops to slowly march towards the arrival, ready for battle at any time. ”

The people who heard it were stunned for a moment, and they thought that the Lord would order the pursuit of the fleeing Minyue people.

"This situation is already very good," Lu Zhe pondered in his heart, "Don't be greedy and chew too much, all the troops will be sent out, and then the Zhao clan will come behind them." ”

Although they didn't understand why they wanted to let go of an enemy army, the officers still carried out Lu Zhe's order.

There were successive troops joining the sequence of attacking Guiyue's camp, and the total number of attackers had exceeded 40,000, and the Guiyue people who had been disrupted had basically lost the ability to turn the tide of the war, and Guiyue's defeat was only a matter of time.

Lu Zhe looked at the Minyue army that was running farther and farther, and then looked at the Zhao family.

The rebellious army led by the Zhao clan was also in chaos themselves, and they really didn't expect that the Baiyue enemy army that they were desperately resisting would become so vulnerable after the Qin army came. Many people judged that even if the troops brought by Lu Zhe would win the victory, it would be a few days later, and Lu Zhe would not make it difficult for them at all before that. Unexpectedly, one of Baiyue's two camps was directly killed by a wave, and the other fled without fighting.

"What should I do?" This is a question that many rebels are thinking about in their hearts.

Learn to run away regardless of Minyue? That also requires these chaotic armies to have a unified structure like the Minyue Army. The chaotic army led by the Zhao clan is very chaotic, and this is only one of them. The second is that the Qin army still has a force approaching Jiangling, and they can imagine that as long as they abandon the camp and escape, the Qin army will definitely catch up.

"What the hell are we going to do!" More and more of the rioters became impatient, and this impatience was not relieved until a letter was brought by a man who did not want to leave his name.

Lu Zhe was no longer paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, and his attention was now drawn to the rebels' camp.

There, the front and rear camp gates were opened, and the number of people coming out of the camp gate in Lu Zhe's direction was only about a dozen, but the back camp kept running out like dumplings.

"Looks like there's a disagreement?" The situation is not difficult to guess, Lu Zhe understood that it was the smooth operation of the war that made the rebels lack confidence, and he said to Wei Han next to him: "You go and take those people over." ”

Wei Han looked at the dozen or so people, and took the order to leave with "hey".

Gui Yue's camp fell into a slaughter battle, and Xu Zhi led the cavalry to once again get out of the kind of battlefield that was unfavorable for the cavalry. When he came back, it happened to be after Lu Zhe sent Wei Han, "Commander, do you want to lead the cavalry to pursue those people?" He was talking about the people who fled out of the rebels' back camp.

"No, you don't." There must have been some important figures among those who fled, and Lu Zhe had his own plans. He didn't know what decision the Xianyang Center would make, and now it would be a good secret move to let the core figures of the rebels escape, "You join the auxiliary forces that make a gesture of encirclement." ”

Xu Zhi looked left and right, and the assembled auxiliaries were very slowly surrounding Jiangling, and his face was confused when he saw this scene.

Lu Zhe would not be untargeted, he saw the organized rebel army coming out of the rear camp one after another, and immediately ordered: "You guys go!" ”

Chaotic scurrying and an organized retreat are two different things, as you can imagine, those who first came out of the Houying Gate were just pawns of the Zhao clan to test the Qin army, and they only came out when they saw that the Qin army showed no signs of pursuit. And that's exactly what happened.

No one has noticed the details. Lu Zhe's personal soldier Mengsan has been gone for a long time.

Meng San went to the rebel camp alone, he just handed over the wooden coffin written by Lu Zhe to the Zhao family, and then went directly to Yan Pi to convey the order to attack on the flanks.

What is written on the wooden coffin, the mammoth did not read, okay...... In fact, he is illiterate at all. He didn't know what Lu Dao's own military master wrote to the Zhao clan, but he knew that it didn't take long for Lu Dao to riot within the rebel army, and then there was a picture of the front and rear camp gates being opened.

Wei Han had already picked up the people who had come out of the former camp gate, and he led them to the slope where Lu Zhe was.

The dozen or so people were all older, and their faces were full of complicated expressions when they saw Lu Zhe.

How could Lu Zhe not have complicated emotions in his heart? It's just that he didn't show it on his face.

The battle against Guiyue's camp has come to an end, and it is so easy to win the result that no one expected in advance. Everyone, including Lu Zhe. They thought it would be a hard and long-lasting battle.

I didn't think it was important, but the most important thing was that it was a surprising result.

Lu Zhe didn't talk to the visitor immediately, he looked at Wei Han: "Order, Mian Bi and Yi Jian led the troops back to Yiling." Move the people there to Gangneung. As he spoke, he looked at Xu Zhi, who had not yet left, "You lead the cavalry of your headquarters and a thousand teng shield short spearmen to escort you." ”

Just now, they were worried about whether the Minyue army would attack Yiling, which had no defensive strength, after escaping, but now they immediately relaxed when they heard the arrangement of the main general.

After conveying several orders in a row, Lu Zhe looked at those people: "Who is Zheng Bu." Who is Akiyama. ”

A man of about fifty and a man in his forties walked out, and they saluted at the same time: "See the chief general of the Lu family." ”

Lu Zhe didn't return the salute: "What's the situation over there?" ”

The officers from the Qin army all listened attentively, and they actually had a knot in mind that Lu Zhe would not pursue the rebel army. After all, it was the same people who made Gangneung a mess.

Of course, Lu Zhe has to do the necessary superficial work, and if he accepts or absorbs the rebellious army without pursuing it, the Qin officers under his command will definitely make trouble.

Zhaoshan and Zheng Bu glanced at each other, and Zhaoshan said: "The general's troops are sharp, and those who know that they are guilty are fleeing." ”

The very confused carving couldn't bear it anymore, and he stood up: "Lord, please send an army to pursue." ”

Several Qin officers also stood up and asked for their lives.

"Chase? Naturally, it is to be pursued! It was a good thing that the situation was going well, but Lu Zhe's earlier arrangement was really disrupted: "You go down and urge the soldiers." ”

That's right, almost all the soldiers were sent to attack the Guiyue camp, and most of the auxiliaries also joined the attack sequence, and those who did not join the attack sequence also went back to Yiling to pick up people.

Subconsciously self-channeled, the confusion in the hearts of the Qin officers disappeared a little, they couldn't blame Lu Zhe for everything they had done, after all, the war against Baiyue was still going on, and they really couldn't stimulate those rebellious soldiers too much, otherwise who knew if there would be any changes in Lu Dao, and Lu Zhe had agreed to these arrangements in advance.

Hearing Lu Zhe say that he wanted to pursue, the faces of the dozen or so people, including Zhaoshan and Zheng Bu, all changed, and they stared at Lu Zhe one by one, only to shout out the words "How can you not keep your promises".

Lu Zhe motioned with his eyes to them not to be impatient.

There are still many people in the rebellious army, most of them are young and middle-aged, how can Lu Zhe give up the incorporation under his own scheme, he must give an explanation to the Qin people under his command, after all, Tu Sui was indeed forced to die, and although no one cares about Ren Huan's disappearance, there must be an explanation.

If Lu Zhe didn't have so many plans, then the matter was actually very easy to solve, but it was just a "kill" word. The problem is that he has too many unspeakable schemes, so it is inevitable that he will be in a dilemma.

How to appease the Qin people and how to retain manpower is a difficult problem that Lu Zhe is thinking about now. (To be continued......)
