Chapter 57 The Asso Army
Chapter 57 Asujun
"Well, the military appearance is neat, and it's still acceptable to change the situation in the last battle! No wonder Wula Buhua died at their hands!" The head of the Privy Council, Daruhua Chihesi of the Left Army of Asu, held the mount, and while using the awning to watch the hill five hundred steps away, judging the head and discussing the matter.
From the encounter between the scouts on both sides on the canal to the fact that they led the cavalry to chase here, it was only half an hour before and after. However, the Red Thiefs chose a terrain that was relatively beneficial to the infantry in just half an hour, and used the extremely ugly chicken bus to set up a chest wall along the hillside. It was really commendable.
"Since Zhu Bashiyi dares to claim to be the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha, I must have read a few books and have some knowledge of military strategies!!" Duoerhei, deputy commander of the left army of Asu, came forward and agreed with a smile.
"That's right! One or two soldiers can be found among the 100,000 ants thieves!" The two thousand-hu Tulu in the team, Borisi also took his mount and nodded slightly to the rebels on the hill in the distance.
After raiding along the canal for a hundred miles, he finally caught the ant thief who dared to flow into the north of the Yellow River to hunt grass valley. How could they not feel relieved? You should know that the left army of Asu is full of cavalry with one man and two horses. It is most suitable for rushing out of the field. If the bandits retreat to the muddy land south of the Yellow River, the difficulty of annihilation of them will increase several times out of thin air. The reinforcements from the thief who came out of Xuzhou City will also make everyone unable to defend themselves.
But it is much simpler now. Although Zhu Bashiyi, the leader of the bandit army, brought the team to the small hillside. However, the steepness of the hillside can only affect the sprint speed of the war horses, but it is far from the point where the war horses cannot run. This place is still ten miles away from Xuzhou, and there is a Yellow River in the middle. Even if Sesame Li gets the news and leads troops to rescue, it will take a day or two. In these two days, it will be enough for Asu Left Army general Zhu Bashiyi and his ant thieves to wipe out twenty times, and the way will not be repeated every time!
The other centurions and signboard leaders of the Asu Left Army were also veterans of marching and fighting. Seeing the enemy laying a chest wall on the earthen mountain, they did not need the orders of their superiors, so they took their brothers off their mounts. They took off the package from the spare saddle of the horse, took out the well-made iron armor, and slowly put it on their body. Then they held the mount and walked slowly around a small area near the coaching flag, Shuhuo's stiff muscles and bones due to long-term riding, and at the same time accumulated strength for the horse.
Some soldiers who were particularly pitying for animals took this opportunity to take out the fried soybeans from their bags and put them to their mounts, allowing the latter to enjoy them slowly. They were all natural soldiers, and since their great-great-grandfather's generation, they worked under the tent of Ogedei Khan. Then they followed Mongke Khan to conquer Sichuan, accompanied Kublai Khan to conquer Alibu Ge, Li Yan, and followed Prime Minister Boyan to the south of Jiangnan, Lin'an and Yangzhou. At the farthest part of the ancestors of some people followed Zhang Hongfan and forced the last heir to the throne of the Song Dynasty into the sea. They were very good at military achievements and glorious history.
In the past twenty years, although the main strength of the Asu Army has been spent on the mutual struggle between the Mongolian nobles, its combat effectiveness is still ranked among the top five in the entire Dayuan Empire. However, the number of soldiers is really weak, and the two armies on both sides are only more than 6,000, and they cannot complete a major battle alone. Therefore, the court was reluctant to use this force without any necessity. If it was moved, it would use good steel on the blade, allowing them to serve as vanguards for more than 100,000 troops.
As the Left Army, Daruwachi, Hesi also cherishes the honor his ancestors exchanged for blood. He is reluctant to lead his subordinates to take risks unless he has the strict orders of his superiors or is absolutely sure.
Today's situation belongs to the latter. The Asu Left Army was originally ordered by the court to go south along the canal, from Pizhou to Bianliang, and joined the 200,000 troops waiting there. The younger brother of Prime Minister Tuotuo, Yesen Timur, led them to fight against Liu Futong. However, when passing by Yutai, Daluhua Chihesi suddenly heard the report from local Han officials, saying that a red scarf thief with a number of less than 2,000 people were collecting supplies on the shore of Shanyang Lake, and then rushed over quickly.
Daruhua Chihesi did not see any risks when he used three thousand cavalry to wipe out less than two thousand ant thieves. In addition, there was another more important factor that prompted him to make up his mind, that is, the red scarf ant thief in front of him had just looted Wujiazhuang, which owns a mine, and also "extorted" more than a dozen wealthy forts around him. The gold, silver and fine materials he had obtained were too many, and he needed to be pushed by a convoy to return!
The things like eating black are not only good at Green Forest heroes. As the left army of Asu, Daruhua Chihesi is also familiar with this. After destroying this group of ants with a small number of people, he can also take his head and go around the victim's fortress with great fanfare. I believe that those victims will give him a generous gift thankfully, so that he can get double the gains in one go.
There is no risk and huge profits. Only a fool would refuse such a beautiful thing? So after discovering the traces of the ant thief, Hesi immediately left the large ship transporting food and supplies and the 4,000 auxiliary soldiers who went on the canal dock. Then he led his cavalry to chase him at lightning.
So far, everything has been as perfect as expected in advance. The ant thieves were indeed reluctant to leave the gold, silver, and soft and scattered, and fled in all directions. Instead, Zhu Bashiyi was taken to a barren mountain that was not too high, trying to resist. From the marks of the ruts left on the ground, it can be judged that most chicken buses are loaded very heavy. They can definitely not be despicable things such as food, leather, etc. If you grab more than a dozen vehicles, you can double the cost of this expedition.
"Sir, do you want to lead two hundred-man teams to detour behind the mountain and block the red scarf's retreat?!" Just as He Si was evaluating the final gains of the battle, Zuo Qianhu Tulu came to his ear and proposed with a smile.
The number of Red Troops is only half of the Asu Left Army, and it is still a matter of time to defeat in field battles. If you detour behind them in advance and block the retreat, you can catch them all in one go. It will be of many benefits to show off the power of Asu Left Army and the generals who lead the army to fight in the future.
But Daruhua Chihesi was not very interested in this suggestion that could add icing on the cake. He glanced at Qianhu Tulu and shook his head gently, "No need, leave them a glimmer of hope, so they will not fight to the death with us. No matter how fast they run on two legs, how fast can they be? Besides, the surrounding fortresses have just been blackmailed by them. After seeing the deserters, how can they not take the opportunity to take revenge?!"
"What if the defeated soldiers attack the fortress?"
"Silly, the defeated soldiers will attack the fortress. We will just go over and wipe them out and save the people from water and fire!"
"Sir, wise!" Zuo Qianhu Tulu Qianhu flattered loudly, urged his mount to inspect his soldiers. Daruhua Chihesi jumped off his war horse and walked slowly around the coaching flag. It took some time for the soldiers to adjust their physical strength to the best state. Taking this opportunity, he could also carefully observe the opponent's camp and find more weaknesses to come out in order to determine the strategy of the attack.
After walking a few steps, he instinctively felt a dangerous aura. He quickly moved his legs and hid himself behind the butt of the mount at a speed that was extremely disproportionate to his fat body.
"Protect Master!" The captain of the personal soldiers, Mormon, immediately shouted, and rushed over with more than a dozen armored warriors holding up their shields, blocking Hesi and his big-food BMW from the wind and rain. However, it was very embarrassing that there was no crossbow arrow flying over, nor any sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. The ant thief on the opposite hillside made a slight laugh, and then continued to rest when he should rest, and continued to drink water, as if he was watching the artists in the martial arts world playing with monkeys, with a full of jokes.
"Let's all spread out. Even the crossbow can't hit five hundred steps!" Daruhua Chihesi was so happy that he blushed. He pushed everyone away and walked out from behind the shield.
It was obviously a false alarm just now. The Red Turban thief came north of the Yellow River just to make grass valleys, and it was impossible to carry a heavy weapon like a bed crossbow. But what was the long thing behind the car wall? Hesi's eyes finally fell on the gleaming tube-like object in the Red Turban Army camp. The one that made him feel dangerous just now must be this thing. It is nothing like the bed crossbow. Such a thin arm cannot be a catapult.
"It's a pity that the distance is too far!" In the camp of the Red Turban Army, Zhu Bashiyi gently put down his big gun and shook his head regretfully. This magic weapon that took him several months of hard work and dozens of taels of gold, has the maximum effective range of about 150 steps to 200 steps. No matter how far it is, even if he can hit the target, he cannot break the iron armor, so he can only scare the opponent.
"General, you can't always place your hope of victory on one or two special weapons!" Seeing that Zhu Bashiyi was accumulating his strength, he always circled around lifting guns and cannons, Ivanov couldn't help but remind him.
In recent times, this guy has been selling various advanced techniques he had seen before to the Zuojun of Xuzhou. The gold he earned has been calculated based on pounds. Therefore, his loyalty to Zhu Bashiyi himself has also increased proportionally with the increase in the weight of the gold. He always hopes to accompany the latter to go further, and the gold he earned can be bought as a territory marquis in Europe as a territorial marquis.
"Well, you're right. The key to deciding victory is the person who masters the weapons, not one or two weapons." Zhu Bashiyi quickly answered, then threw down the shocked veteran Pi, Xu Hongsan and others, and walked towards the bronze cannon.
After all, he has memorized military books for half a year. From "Sun Tzu" to "Duke Wei's Questions" to "Three Strategies" and "Six Strategies", he has read through all the military books he can buy on the market, whether it is real or fake. In addition, he has been able to talk to the forum in the 21st century, and he can throw a sentence casually. The question is, how can he apply the things on paper to reality? To be honest, except for the advanced weapons, Zhu Bashiyi does not understand any other tricks at all! And the only trick he knows is to learn a strategy game, and he doesn't know how effective it is in the real world.
Regardless of the eyes falling all over the floor behind him, he quickly corrected the position of the three copper cannons, and at the same time his mouth was like a bean blower, "These two doors are shotguns, and the highest door is solid bullet. The cavalry moves too fast, and it will definitely be easier to hit the target than live ammunition. Hong San, send a few more people here at a time to cover both sides of the copper cannon with shields, so as not to injure Master Huang and the others with bows and arrows. Master Huang and his sons have never been on the battlefield. When they really fight, they must protect their father and son first."
