Chapter 826: Mutation
As everyone knows, the strength of cavalry lies in its mobility and charge.
Thousands of troops and horses charged at once, and the momentum alone was enough to make the enemy tremble. Not to mention the fierce life harvesting ability after really rushing over.
However, it is also well known that once the cavalry loses its mobility, it is basically slaughtered, and it can only be dismounted and fought on foot.
This is not an exaggerated TV series, the man on horseback slaughters the enemy on the other side, and on the other hand, even if there are soldiers on the defenseless side, he will only hold the blade and stop, and then wait for it to slaughter that side, and then turn around and kill this side.
Isn't this a fuss, on the battlefield, can you still hold a weapon against the enemy's back and kill people?
In short, in the face of powerful cavalry, as long as there are enough numbers, any battle formation can tear a hole. But if there is an ironclad infantry on the other side, it is a different matter.
This thing can't be rushed, such an iron bump, with the scimitar in his hand, the Turks don't want to hurt the other party easily, and directly hit the horse, maybe they can directly hit the person to death, but the force is relative, such a collision, the horse can't stand it, it is bound to turn over on the horse, the first cavalry falls, what to do in the back?
There must have been some casualties in the first few rows of the ironclad army, but the impact of the cavalry charge was completely blocked.
It's a pity that the 20,000 people in Zhenxi Mansion seem to be a lot, but they can't stand too many Turkic cavalry, and it is impossible to really take out a hard resistance, and they can't be defeated after many fights. Fortunately, he also has a cavalry army under his command, and in addition, the armies of the Western Regions countries are basically cavalry. Therefore, this is the only way to stalemate with the Turks when there are few people.
However, this is only temporary.
Looking at the detailed battle report sent by Ainur, Zhou Shaoyu sighed with emotion.
Maybe the political situation of Daliang has been eroded, but the strength should not be underestimated, if it is not for natural disasters and man-made disasters, and Ashina Falcon comes out to consume a wave, this Daliang should be able to last at least fifty years. For such a long time, is it good to make trouble and come out with a master of Zhongxing, and it will continue for another hundred years?
After all, even if Zhenxi Mansion supports its own troops, it will not easily raise the anti-flag and the rebellion of the uprising, which are two different things. So as long as Zhenxi Mansion still maintains the identity of the Great Liang General, even if it is passive and sabotage, when it is really necessary, it will still send troops to suppress it. With this strength, there are several rebel armies that can stop it.
Not to mention, Daliang is more than just such an army.
Fortunately, there is an Ashina Falcon and he is consumed. Although this idea is a bit unsuitable for those innocent people who died and the heroic souls who died in battle, it is indeed good for Zhou Shaoyu.
"Miaozhen, how is the army training?" After reading the battle report, Zhou Shaoyu turned his head and asked Yang Miaozhen.
"It's a false appearance, I haven't seen blood, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, make do with it." Yang Miaozhen waved his hand, it's been June, and the army must have been formed a long time ago, but no combat experience is a hard injury, and it can't be made up for by training. "What, there's going to be a war?"
"Perhaps, it won't be long." Zhou Shaoyu nodded, with a little joy, and said with a smile: "If everything is as I expected." ”
At first, Zhenxi Mansion was tempted by the Empress Dowager Gao Yuyao, so it sent troops to attack the Turks. After all, the conditions for the imperial court to admit that they can build a country on their own are too tempting, and they may not have that confidence to raise the anti-flag to attack Daliang, but the entire family has been sitting in Xiliang for 300 years, and they have long made this place their own one-acre and three-point land, as for the Western Regions, which country is not honest.
Not to mention anything else, in the early years of the emperor's reign, the envoys of the Western Regions entered Jinling to celebrate his birthday, and the congratulatory gifts brought were not at all one-third of the birthday to Zhenxi Mansion, and some of them were really poor and small countries, but after sending the envoy to Daliang, the gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by the Daliang court were sent to Zhenxi Mansion as gifts.
The reason why I did this was because I was afraid that I would offend Zhenxi Mansion if I sent less.
In this way, it can be seen that the prestige of Zhenxi Mansion in the Western Regions.
In this case, it is not difficult to rebuild a country, and even some countries are puppets supported by them at all, the difficulty is that they are the courtiers of the Great Liang, how can they have the reason to be the king themselves, they can only hold back.
But if Da Liang can admit it, it is naturally impossible to be indifferent, Mo Kan is just a name, and it is only a king and not an emperor, but this name is enough to make people tempted.
The lord of a country and the great general, do you need to choose?
The Western Regions are certainly remote, but what if they are all unified?
So there was a matter of Zhenxi Prefecture coercing all countries to send troops together. Zhenxi Mansion thinks very well, the Turks, it is not so easy to fight, and it is a bit choking on their own.
But with the addition of the combined army, it will be different, and more importantly, it can also weaken the strength of various countries, and if Zhenxi Mansion sends troops to recruit at that time, the resistance will be much smaller.
Why not.
The idea is always good, but that is when everything is going well, and now the situation is gradually not very good for Zhenxi Mansion.
With so many Turkic soldiers killed, Zhenxi Mansion couldn't retreat even if it wanted to. Even Ashina Falcon can't be the master.
If there are more dead people, there will be more hatred, if it is in the case of being able to win, Ashina Falcon forced that Yongzhou is not allowed to attack, tsk, the resentment of the people below is simply not too big.
In a word, it is no longer a question of whether you want to fight or not, but you have to fight, and Zhenxi Mansion can't retreat if you want to.
can continue to fight, the strength of Zhenxi Mansion is already inferior, and it is impossible for the alliance army to command like an arm.
It's okay to say that if the situation is unfavorable, it is inevitable that these people will have strange ideas. What the kingdoms are afraid of is the strong strength of Zhenxi Prefecture, but what if most of it is consumed by the Turks? Still afraid?
Under this kind of thinking, it is inevitable that the work will not be effective, and the situation will only be more unfavorable to Zhenxi Prefecture.
Now that Lian Zhan has retreated, he is about to retreat to the boundary of Yongzhou, and if he retreats again, of course, there is a geographical advantage, after all, it is the territory of Zhenxi Mansion, but it is also equivalent to that his own territory has been beaten in.
From Zhou Shaoyu's point of view, at that time, Zhenxi Mansion will have to work hard to stop Ashina Falcon's footsteps, and the latter will definitely suffer more and more casualties, as for who can win in the end and what the result is, it doesn't matter, because that kind of situation will not occur at all.
In this process, Zhou Shaoyu and Fang Hong will inevitably see the opportunity to officially occupy Taiyuan and make Ashina Falcon enemies. At that time, the consumption of Zhenxi Mansion was miserable, and Ashina Falcon would not be too good, and the back road would be cut off again, and the morale would plummet, and if it was not good, it would be seized by Zhenxi Mansion to beat a wave.
Can't catch it? It doesn't matter, Zhou Shaoyu will make arrangements in advance and report to Zhenxi Mansion. At that time, Zhenxi Mansion will still owe Zhou Shaoyu a favor.
As for Ashina Falcon, who was forced to return to the army, it will definitely be difficult to fight in the field, but it is still no problem to defend the city. As long as they hold on, the barren annexed states are now not allowed to loot the place, and they can only retreat to the grassland in the end.
However, this retreat, there will be nothing to do with Ashina Falcon in the future, so many people died, and finally went back in disgrace, this prestige fell, not only several times that of the original Luoyang battle. Not to mention, Ashina's strength has been decreasing, while Ainur has been secretly developing his power, and under the influence of one another, the grassland forces will be chaotic.
At that time, Zhou Shaoyu sat firmly in the state, and the Zhenxi Mansion, whose strength had been greatly reduced, still owed him favors, and basically had no worries, just waiting for Luoyang, which was occupied by Huofeng, to start messing up, and then comfortably ran over to receive it.
Oops, Meizizi.
Gao Yuyao calculated and balanced, I am afraid that she didn't think of Fang Hong's thoughts, if there was no Fang Hong, Zhou Shaoyu really didn't dare to move, and he would have to lie dormant for a while.
However, not long after Meizizi, Da Qiao ran over in a little panic.
"Zhou Lang, the big thing is not good, the Tan Wangfu sent 15,000 troops to raid Xingwu County, Sister Shuozhen struggled to defend the city, but the incident happened suddenly, the garrison in the city was insufficient, the city was broken, and Sister Shuozhen didn't know whether she was alive or dead!"
"What!"
Zhou Shaoyu was shocked, and he couldn't figure out why Tan Wangfu would suddenly send troops to attack Xingwu County, which was in line with common sense, nor was it in line with the interests of Tan Wangfu, and more importantly, Chen Shuozhen didn't know whether he was alive or dead!
As the first woman brought over by Zhou Shaoyu after crossing over to Daliang, how could it be impossible not to have some different feelings. Maybe Chen Shuozhen's comprehensive ability is relatively mediocre, but Zhou Shaoyu still let her sit in Xingwu County because Chen Shuozhen is stable enough, has enough experience, and has the ability to bewitch.
In addition, because of Chen Shuozhen's special order, Zhou Shaoyu didn't want to see her position gradually lighten.
It's just that I never thought about it, but now I don't know whether I live or die, how not to make Zhou Shaoyu anxious.
"How can there be a lack of garrison in Xingwu County! And, what about the spies? Fifteen thousand troops, how could there not be the slightest movement! Zhou Shaoyu's eyes were red, and his suppressed voice was full of infinite anger.
Rao knew that this anger was not directed at him, Da Qiao was still frightened, and hurriedly said: "It was said over there that it coincided with a routine military exercise, and the general forces of Xingwu County were transferred, but even so, Tan Wangfu should not grasp the timing so well, because the drill time is not fixed, in other words, it should be an internal response, in addition, Tan Wangfu suddenly had an extra elite to serve, and all the spies sent by Xingwu County were killed, and the news could not be passed back, Sister Shuozhen noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly arranged the defense, but it was still a step late. ”
Headache.
Zhou Shaoyu rubbed his head, knowing this, he refused to blame the other girls, and there was no need to send someone to find Chen Shuozhen's whereabouts, because they would definitely spare no effort to find traces.
What I can't figure out now is why Tan Wangfu suddenly attacked Xingwu County.
It is true that Chenghui Prefecture occupies Xingwu County, which originally belonged to Tanzhou, but Gao Xiujun is not a rebel, and he is a legal identity in Daliang, even if it violates the regulations, it should be a mutual fight, not an attack on each other.
After all, on the surface, they are still loyal to the beam. This move by the Yitan Wangfu is bound to cause criticism.
In addition, even if the Tan Wangfu expands its army again, it is only a mere 25,000 troops, even if there is a hidden calculation of 30,000, it is still not strong, and there is no slightest advantage to take the initiative to start a war with Chenghuizhou, not only criticized, but the final victory or defeat is also unpredictable, and there will not be much certainty at all.
No matter what, Zhou Shaoyu also made a trick and hid a 'Shuibo Liangshan', there is no reason to rashly launch an attack when the local strength is after all.
However, since it has happened, it is not so important what the reason is, the important thing is that Chenghuizhou has indeed entered the war period with the Tan Wangfu.
And Xingwu County is occupied, then the communication between Wuxian County and Chenghui Prefecture will become difficult. Moreover, compared with Xingwu County, Wu County's defense force is weaker, and the situation is really dangerous.
Of course, in the end, there is Li Xiuning in Chenghuizhou, with her ability to fight, it is impossible not to pay attention to this, there will definitely be her measures, but don't worry too much.
"I'm going back to Wuxian." After pondering for a long time, Zhou Shaoyu let out a long breath, and then said in a deep voice.
The tone is resolute and cannot be refuted.
Unexpectedly, the girls who came showed an expression that was really like this.
"Although it is not recommended, it is not as expected by my sisters and other sisters, if you want to go, let's go, find Sister Shuozhen as soon as possible, and my sisters can also rest assured." But it was Bian Yujing who spoke first.
Although she is not Zhou Shaoyu's wife and concubine, her identity is equivalent to Li Qingzhao in Jincheng, except for those who are inappropriate and unnecessary, they are all managed by her, Xu Miaojin, Yang Miaozhen and others also recognize this method, and it is quite prestigious at present.
Bian Yujing said this, Zhou Shaoyu felt guilty, now the situation in the state is at a critical time, and there may be opportunities to raise troops at any time, but as the highest level of Jincheng, he is not there, which is very affecting the morale of the army.
Moreover, at present, the management team of Jincheng is divided into two sets, one is composed of scholars and some local officials, and the other is naturally a sister group headed by Bian Yujing.
These two parties are not very harmonious, Zhou Shaoyu is here, and they can be adjusted in the middle, but they are not, it is inevitable that there will be contradictions, of course, Zhou Shaoyu does not think that the group of scholars with average skills will be the opponents of the girls.
In the final analysis, Yang Miaozhen is in charge of military power, and the gun is the real truth.
"I know it's a bit willful, even if I rush back, I may not be able to do anything, but I can't feel at ease." Zhou Shaoyu said slowly. "For me, each of you is a special existence, I don't want anything to happen to anyone, the country can fight again, it's a big deal, but if you have something, where will I go to find you again."
This is definitely from the bottom of my heart.
For Zhou Shaoyu, the ambition for power is not so big, it is true that men like power, but Zhou Shaoyu also makes it clear that power is a good thing, but he doesn't want to lose himself because of power and become a slave of power.
As I said just now, the country can start over at any time, but if these strange women in Chinese history are gone, how can they be regained.
Even if Xiujin has the ability to let Zhou Shaoyu hook up with another Chen Shuozhen at another time node in history, can this Chen Shuozhen still be regarded as Chen Shuozhen?
