"It doesn't need to be used on ordinary Korean soldiers? Could it be that...this giant weapon is used to deal with the Korean heavy cavalry? But, is this thing effective against the heavy cavalry?"

Zhai Huang frowned slightly and looked sideways at the four giant trebuchets again. He secretly murmured in his heart that he had always thought that these four giant trebuchets were used to attack Handan.

After following Zhao Hongrun and thinking for a long time, Zhai Huang still couldn't figure out why - it's impossible for trebuchets to deal with heavy cavalry, right? Although these trebuchets are indeed a huge battle, I believe their power must be extraordinary.

, but even if a dozen, dozens, or even hundreds of Korean heavy cavalry are killed, what great loss can be caused to the 40,000 Daijun heavy cavalry?

"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince must have come up with some clever plan..."

Sighing regretfully, Zhai Huang simply stopped spending more energy to guess what His Highness the Crown Prince was thinking. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince's thoughts and tricks were always unscrupulous and elusive. Instead of spending more time in this regard, he

It is better to think about how to restrain the opponent Le Yi in the future.

At this time, the Wei army was already busy burying pots and making rice in the camp.

Suddenly, Zhai Huang asked: "Your Highness, are you going to conduct a night attack tonight?"

"Night attack." Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment and said with a hint of melancholy: "The opposite side is Le Yi. I have given up the night attack."

It's no wonder, considering that currently on the battlefield, the positions of Wei and Han can be divided into front and rear formations.

The front line is the frontline stronghold of Wei generals Chen Xie and Xu Jiong, and Han general Ji Kuo. The two strongholds are only one or two miles apart and can be regarded as outposts.

The rear formation is the position where the Wei and Han armies are stationed with the main formation as the center. The two positions are about ten miles away from each other, and in the open space between them, the cavalry of the Wei and Han sides patrol the surrounding area at any time.

Therefore, compared with the tense atmosphere in the frontline positions, the soldiers on the main line of the Wei army were not too nervous. They followed the orders of their respective generals, set up military tents, and buried pots to make rice.

But it has to be said that the positions of the Wei and Korean armies are still too close, especially the frontline positions. If there is a sneak attack, the other side will not be able to react at all without being prepared.

Because of this, both the Wei and Han armies set up many strongholds in the open spaces under their respective control and sent out many patrolling cavalry.

Under such circumstances, even a third-rate general would be aware of the enemy's night attack. How could a famous general like Le Yi, who was good at fighting, make any omissions?

If Le Yi is not prepared at this time, Zhao Hongrun might as well pray to the sky and see if a meteorite will suddenly fall from the sky and kill all the soldiers in the Korean army's position. "PS: It really happened in history, it's amazing.

.』

"Even if you don't go for a night attack, why don't you feign an attack to harass the Korean army?" Wu Ji suggested from the side.

After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun and Zhai Huang looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

Seeing this, Wu Ji felt baffled and couldn't help asking: "Am I right?"

Zhao Hongrun smiled and said: "No, your suggestion is very good...just do it like this."

"Then why are you laughing?"

Wu Ji didn't understand it for a while. It wasn't until Zhao Hongrun and Zhai Huang walked a few feet away that he realized it. While chasing after him, he complained helplessly: "Your Highness, I have read military books for so many years.

You don’t think I can’t even think of such a plan, do you?”

Listening to Wu Ji's helpless complaints, Zhao Hongrun, Zhai Huang and others laughed.

That night, Wu Ji led a cavalry team to sneak into the front line position from the local area. He wanted to sneak attack the Korean army position opposite at night. However, when he arrived at the front line position, he discovered that, good guy, the Korean army actually piled up countless troops in front of his position.

The bonfires that were ten feet tall, and the piles of blazing bonfires, illuminated the area brightly, basically eliminating the possibility of Wu Ji sneaking into the Korean army's position - unless the Korean soldiers patrolling the positions were all blind.

Seeing this, Wu Ji gave up his plan to attack the Korean army secretly, and instead pretended to attack the Korean army at night, pretending to be ready to attack the Korean army at night.

The first time, it really made the Korean army quite nervous. Even Le Yi immediately ordered all armies to be on alert after learning about it.

But when Wu Ji left and returned half an hour later, Le Yi saw through Wu Ji's intention at a glance. Apart from sending out patrolling soldiers as usual, he didn't bother to pay attention to it and went to sleep since ancient times.

Seeing that there was no movement from the Korean army several times, Wu Ji also felt a little hesitant in his heart. He was not sure about the true situation of the Korean army's position, so he did not dare to rush in without authorization, for fear that Le Yi had set an ambush in his position and deliberately exposed a flaw to attract the enemy.

He took the bait.

After all, Le Yi, as a well-known figure among the ten tycoons of Beiyuan, could not be careless at this time, right?

Unconsciously, Wu Ji had no choice but to return the way he came.

After waiting for daybreak and Zhao Hongrun waking up in the commander's tent, Wu Ji told the former about the process of harassing Han Jun last night.

After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "What a pity. If you had launched a sudden attack at that time, you might have turned the Korean army upside down..."

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Wu Ji opened his eyes in disbelief.

Zhao Hongrun shrugged and hit Wu Ji with ruthless facts: "That's right, there was no ambush at all. Le Yi just saw through your intentions and didn't bother to pay attention to you."

"This..." Wu Ji scratched his hair in frustration, frowned and said, "Then I'll go tonight!"

"Farewell." Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I can't figure out Le Yi. If he suddenly sets up an ambush on a whim tonight, you won't be able to come back. Our army has a huge advantage in this battle.

It’s big, there’s no need to take risks.”

After hearing this, Wu Ji nodded helplessly.

On that day, the Wei and Han armies were busy reorganizing their troops and taking care of the wounded, but did not start a battle.

On the third day, the Wei army attacked again and started a fierce battle with the Korean army. The fierce battle was no less fierce than the first day.

But unfortunately, on this day, the Wei and Han armies still could not tell the winner, and they could only waste their troops in vain.

In two consecutive fierce battles, the number of casualties on the Shangshui Army's side has reached 16,000, while the number of casualties of the North Korean Beiyan Army on the opposite side is probably much higher than that of the Shangshui Army.

Whether it is Zhai Huang or Le Yi, their hearts are actually bleeding.

But there is no way. At this point, both sides can only bite the bullet. If either side retreats, it will lose the initiative - if the Korean army retreats, Handan is destined to be in danger; and if the Wei army retreats, it will undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the Korean army.

, giving the latter hope of winning the war.

It has to be said that the long and fierce battle caused the morale and fighting spirit of the Wei and Han armies to suffer varying degrees of damage.

At first, the two armies fought every other day, clashed on one day, and reorganized the troops and resettled the wounded on the same day. However, as the number of confrontations gradually increased, the days of rest and reorganization inevitably gradually lengthened, so that eventually, they had to fight once.

After that, they both had to rest for three to five days before they could recover.

This greatly delayed the date of the battle and put great pressure on the logistics of Wei and South Korea.

It is not that the Korean army has not tried to attack the Wei army's grain road. In fact, the "Shanggu Shou Xu Li" on the right battlefield has led his troops behind the Wei army more than once in the past few days, in Panwu, Cixian, and even in the Yecheng area.

Wandering around, looking for the Wei army's grain transport team.

As for the Wei army, King Zhao Jiang of Yan also personally led the Southern Yan cavalry to capture the traces of Han general Xu Li.

In this case, the battlefield on the right wing was greatly expanded, and within a radius of a hundred miles, it was the hunting ground for Han general Xu Li and Wei general Zhao Jiang to hunt each other.

In contrast, on the left battlefield, the war between Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo and Han General Qin Kai was too calm, but this calmness hid murderous intent. Obviously, the two commanders were thinking about the same idea: how to

Devour each other in one breath!

But in any case, in terms of fierceness and cruelty, it must be said that on the middle battlefield, as of the end of July, the number of Shangshui Army casualties had exceeded 10,000, and the remaining soldiers also suffered varying degrees of injuries. Of course, the soldiers on the opposite side

The Northern Yan Army was not much better, not to mention that the number of casualties was only higher than that of the Wei Army. What's even more terrible is that in the latest battle, Le Yi put a group of new soldiers with almost no combat experience into the battlefield.

what does that mean?

This means that the Beiyan Army can no longer hold on!

At the same time, it also means that no matter how calm Le Yi is, he must consider the issue of using Daijun cavalry at this time, because if he does not use the 40,000 Daijun heavy cavalry under the command of Han general Sima Shang, once the Northern Yan army is defeated

With the defeat of the Shangshui Army, Sima Shang's 40,000 heavy cavalry will completely lose their threat. Even the most powerful tactical unit, the heavy cavalry, has almost no threat at all without other friendly forces to assist in the battle.

.

In this way, time passed to the fourth day of August. After recuperating for five full days, the Wei army once again launched an offensive against the Han army's position.

Today's war seems to be slightly different than in the past, but any veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles can vaguely feel that today may be a battle that can truly determine the outcome.

It was obvious that South Korea's Beiyan Army could no longer hold out, and Wei's Shangshui Army also suffered more than half of its casualties, which was in line with the saying that when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.

"Your Majesty, Le Mou invited General Sima Shang to lead his subordinates to assist in the battle today."

Before the battle, Le Yi said calmly.

Han Wangran looked at Le Yi without knowing why, and said with a strange expression: "General Le mentioned this matter to me a few days ago..."

"Yeah."

Le Yi closed his eyes and took a few breaths secretly.

He was nervous. As one of the most famous generals among the ten tycoons of Beiyuan, he was nervous.

There was only one reason. He always had an ominous premonition about using the forty thousand generation heavy cavalry under Sima Shang.

This was also the reason why he didn't remember the heavy cavalry of the Forty Wandai Commandery until his Northern Yan army was about to be unable to hold on any longer.

"I hope my hunch is wrong..."
