Chapter 202: The Battle of Makino (4)

With the approval of Emperor Xin, Ouyang Shuo revealed his plan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"To defeat the Zhou army is nothing more than to weaken the enemy and strengthen yourself."

"What's the explanation?" Di Xin was unmoved.

"As the general said, most slaves are not to be trusted. Therefore, the king could choose 100,000 worthy men from among the 700,000 slaves, free them from their shackles, feed them, and promise them freedom if they won the battle. Then they will be issued with strong crossbows, and with a little training, they will be a new force. And the strongest of the Zhou army is their chariot troops. Therefore, the remaining 600,000 slaves can be arranged to dig deep trenches and cover the entire battlefield densely, which will definitely be able to block the chariot troops of the Zhou army. ”

What Ouyang Shuo pursued was the policy of elite soldiers. Rather than let those slaves defect, it is better not to arrange for them to go to war at all. The crossbow, on the other hand, is the easiest long-range weapon to master, and it only takes two or three days.

Di Xin was shocked, his face was happy, and then he was worried, "Although your plan is good, the imperial court does not have so many strong crossbows to be distributed to slaves. ”

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "Although there is no strong crossbow, can there be a hard bow?" ”

"Naturally, there is."

"The most difficult part of the crossbow is the crossbow machine, and I can solve it for the king. As long as the king recruits all the craftsmen in Chaoge City, rushes to make crossbow arms, and then assembles them together, he can obtain 100,000 strong crossbows. ”

Di Xin was overjoyed, "Okay, if you win this battle, you should count your first merit, and this king will have a heavy reward." ”

Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed in his heart, and took advantage of the situation to say: "If this battle is won, it is enough to ask the king to allow me alone." ”

"Oh, who is it?" Dixin was very interested.

Ouyang Shuo turned his head to look at the evil one, and said with a smile: "It's the evil general." ”

Without waiting for Di Xin to answer, Evil came to preemptively say: "If you can defeat the Zhou army, what does it matter to you?" ”

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering the emperor-level historical figure evil to subdue the task, the task completion conditions: assist the Shang Dynasty and defeat the Zhou army; Quest completion period: Before the end of the Battle of Makino. ”

Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed, "So, there is nothing else to ask for." ”

……

Ouyang Shuo followed behind Evil Lai, walked out of the palace, and headed for the weapons workshop in Chaoge City.

Rushing to the workshop, Ouyang Shuo didn't say a word, and took out the 100,000 crossbow machines stored in the storage bag at one time. These crossbow machines, naturally, were specially ordered by Ouyang Shuo to be made by the bow and crossbow division before, and now they have finally come in handy. For this battle of Muye, Ouyang Shuo made a bloody investment.

100,000 crossbow machines, the cost alone reaches 10,000 gold. Fortunately, iron ore is produced in the territory, and the wages of craftsmen are also fixed. Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo would have suffered a big loss.

The assembly of the crossbow machine in the later period was naturally responsible for the Shang Dynasty, and Ouyang Shuo would not participate. As for the selection and training of slaves, Di Xin has already been handed over to Evil to be responsible, and Ouyang Shuo does not have to worry about it.

What Ouyang Shuo has to do is to organize the Inhuman troops. He didn't expect that he could defeat the Zhou army with just 100,000 crossbowmen, and he had to cooperate with the front army and the defense troops on both flanks.

Ouyang Shuo returned to the barracks, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. The huge barracks, stationed in the 42,000 Inhuman Legion, seemed to be very lively.

Compared with the battle of the deer, this time Bai Hua and Phoenix Prisoner reorganized the troops of other lords and players, which was much smoother. The lords all knew very well that in the Shang Dynasty camp, the Shanhai Alliance's own troops alone accounted for 15%, and they were also the most elite troops. Therefore, if you want to obtain contribution points and integrate into the Shanhai Alliance system, it is the best choice. If you fight alone, you can only become cannon fodder.

Except for a small number of diehards, they are basically willing to accept the reorganization of the Shanhai Alliance.

Ouyang Shuo still followed the last plan, with Zhang Liao as the chief general of the cavalry, and Qin Qiong and Lin Yi as deputy generals; Shi Wansui served as the chief general of the sword and shield soldiers, and Mu Guiying served as the chief general of the crossbowmen.

Because it is already a global online mode, players do not have the problem of going offline. So, when night came, everyone went back to their tents to rest.

The next day, the reorganization of the troops began in earnest.

After a morning of statistics, except for the 2,000 diehards who refused to be reorganized, the remaining 40,000 troops had 25,000 sword and shield soldiers; cavalry followed, with a total of 10,000 men; Crossbowmen were the least, only 5,000 people.

In the next few days, all units will have to carry out coordinated training so as not to be able to effectively command in the event of a decisive battle. In ancient battlefields, there were more than 10,000 troops, and command was a major problem, which tested the level of military generals.

At the same time, the 600,000 slaves who had been eliminated were driven out of the court and driven to Makino, where they began to dig trenches. With such a huge amount of manpower, no matter how empty the place is, it will be dug up beyond recognition.

Makino is seventy miles south of Chaoge, which is about 25 kilometers when converted into the current distance. Therefore, it would take a day or two for this group of slaves to be on the road alone.

In order to prevent slaves from escaping or slacking off work, the Shang king Emperor Xin specially sent 500 guards to accompany him.

The main force of the Shang army was all in the east, and the capital Chaoge now only had more than 10,000 Su guards, 6,000 royal guards, and a small number of war elephants. At this time, Emperor Xin of Shang was able to send five hundred guards to accompany him, which showed that he attached great importance to Ouyang Shuo's strategy, and he must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

In the air, unnoticed, a small bird, following behind the slave procession, accompanied it all the way.

……

On the fourth day of the Battle of Muye, the base camp of the Zhou Dynasty, Mengjin.

"Report!" The army entered the central tent, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Report to the king, there is an important military situation ahead." ”

Among the big tents, in addition to King Wu of Zhou, there is also Jiang Shang, the prime minister of Zhou.

"Tell me about it!" Zhou Wu Wang Ji Fa was a little breathless.

"The Shang Dynasty drove hundreds of thousands of slaves and dug trenches outside Makino City, behaving strangely." Don't dare to slack off.

Ji Fa was puzzled, and turned his head to look at Jiang Shang, "Prime Minister, the Shang Dynasty sent slaves to dig trenches, why did you come?" ”

Jiang Shang stroked his beard, frowned and said, "The trench is dug to block our army's chariots." Seemingly. The court of the Shang Dynasty was helped by capable people. ”

"So what to do?" Ji Fa was shocked, the chariot unit was the king of Zhou's army, and it was also the core of the tactics formulated before, if the chariot could not reach the opponent's position smoothly, then a whole set of tactics could not be implemented.

"The only way to do this is to send troops to drive out the slaves and prevent the other side from digging trenches."

Ji Fa nodded, "According to the Prime Minister's opinion, who should be sent?" ”

"That's where the difficulty lies. Our army is limited in number and should not be moved lightly, so as not to be ambushed. ”

"Why don't you send troops to Makino now and start the battle directly?" Ji Fa proposed.

Jiang Shang shook his head, "No." Now that the princes of all walks of life have not yet gathered, it is not appropriate to send troops. ”

"So what?" Ji Fa was a little anxious.

Just when Jiang Shang was in a dilemma, the off-the-books guard announced: "Yiren Chun Shenjun, ask to see the king." ”

"Let him in." King Wu of Zhou spoke.

After Chun Shenjun entered the account, he bowed and saluted: "Inhuman Chun Shenjun, meet the king, meet the prime minister." ”

"Excuse me!" King Wu of Zhou put on a look like a corporal of Lixian, "What do you have to report when you come here this time?" ”

"I came here to share the king's worries." Chun Shenjun said confidently.

"Oh?" King Wu of Zhou was puzzled.

"I have heard that the enemy is cunning and digging trenches in Makino with the intention of stopping our chariot troops. As a representative of the Inhumans, he came to ask the king for his life and went to stop the other party. Chun Shenjun explained.

King Wu of Zhou was overjoyed, "Okay, this king is worried about this matter." ”

"King Xie!" After receiving the order, Chun Shenjun was about to retreat.

"Slow," Jiang Shang said in a loud voice, and said uneasily: "Just drive away, try not to hurt people's lives." ”

"Whoa!" Chun Shenjun responded with his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Chun Shenjun and the others found out that the Shang Dynasty arranged a large number of slaves in Muye, but only 500 regular troops accompanied them. For players like them, this is simply a godsend opportunity to harvest contribution points, how can they want to miss it. Therefore, Chun Shenjun hurriedly came to see King Wu of Zhou and asked for this errand.

After Chun Shenjun left, Jiang Shang was still frowning, a little uneasy.

"Prime Minister, but what's wrong with it?" King Wu of Zhou asked.

"Great King, those slaves, many of them are from the Zhou State or other princes and tribes, and they are the ones we can fight for. I'm afraid that these aliens don't know how to measure and kill in vain. Jiang Shang explained.

"Didn't Fang Caichun Shenjun already promise the prime minister not to kill? What else is there for the prime minister to worry about? King Wu of Zhou was even more puzzled.

Jiang Shang shook his head, "King, these strangers come from strange places, and they may not obey them if they hold their own force." ”

"The prime minister is too worried." King Wu of Zhou held his own force, thinking that his king's face was very good.

……

Chun Shenjun returned to his tent, and in the tent, Emperor Chen, Wolf Warrior, Feng Qingyang, Xiongba, Killing and Breaking Army, and Drifting Illusion were among them.

"How?" Xiongba asked, his relationship with Chun Shenjun was already very familiar.

Chun Shenjun's face was happy, "It's done." ”

"Okay, this time, let's see how proud you are without clothes." The slaughter army shouted.

"Do you need to call the other lords together for this mission?" Wolf Warrior asked.

Feng Qingyang first disagreed, "The other party only has a mere five hundred regular troops, and our troops together have four thousand, which is enough to deal with, why should we share this contribution value with others?" ”

The wolf shook his head, "The mobility of the infantry is too poor, so it is better to arrange pure cavalry troops." ”

"In that case, you can call the core allies and form three thousand cavalry." Feng Qingyang took a step back.

"Brother Dichen, why don't you say anything?" Chun Shenjun said intentionally or unintentionally.

Di Chen frowned, and didn't pay attention to Chun Shenjun's pride, "I'm thinking, arranging for slaves to dig trenches is very likely to be a ploy without clothes." Could there be some conspiracy in this? ”

"Haha, Brother Dichen, I think you are scared of the clothesless pit." Feng Qingyang's mouth is unobstructed, and he looks down on Emperor Chen's suspicions and suspicions.

Chun Shenjun also looked playful and disdainful to answer.

Although they had to start re-bonding under the coercion of parents from all sides, Chun Shenjun would not let Emperor Chen dominate the alliance again, so he naturally had to suppress his arrogance at any time and prevent him from raising his head.

However, the wolf warrior did not follow and coaxed, "What Brother Dichen said, it is not impossible, so I have to guard against it." ”

Chun Shenjun shook his head, "Brother Wolf Warrior is too worried. According to the forward spies, there was no sign of other troops in the vicinity of Makino. We dispatched cavalry this time, and by surprise, when we received the news, we rushed to reinforcements, and it would take at least a day on the road, which was enough for us to complete the task and retreat smoothly. ”

"That's it, how can he really say that he is so powerful without clothes? I don't believe it. "Feng Qingyang is Chun Shenjun's hardcore ally, so he naturally wants to support Chun Shenjun.

The wolf warrior was speechless. (To be continued.) )
