Zhang Zimian's expression suddenly became hard to look. You know, although he claims to have won more than 50,000 soldiers under his command; and there are still five states as successors.
But with the exception of the direct personnel brought by the defenders and generals, more than half of the troops, as well as a large amount of supporting luggage, all needed time and manpower to be recruited and mobilized one after another from various states in southern Zhejiang.
Therefore, he can only use delaying and retarding tactics as far as he can, in exchange for the space and buffer of retreat. But he obviously overestimated the combat will and command effectiveness of these defenders and their subordinates.
Although he dispatched his subordinates, he claims to be the former Rao Zhou prince who knows the Taiping thieves best and has worked hard, thinking that he will coordinate and plan in the middle.
But once the enemy went into battle, the generals of these soldiers and horses still inevitably exposed their own thoughts and calculations; especially in the face of those thieves who had a little contact and took the initiative to turn into a defensive army.
Of course, the soldiers and horses of this state want to take the initiative to attack more thieves and preserve the vitality of some places; while the soldiers and horses of other states are cautious and stingy about every opportunity to attack, and they want to preserve their strength, both openly and secretly.
As a result, in the midst of a dispute, they simply left the general contact person appointed by Zhang Zimian in the name of actively looking for fighters, and went on their own terms one after another.
In the end, only the Chuzhou army, led by Lu Zhanghong, the nephew of Luyue, was still carrying out the tactics he had formulated to block the thieves by relying on the geographical advantage and the local righteous people. .
As a result, now even this team has lost contact; the additional personnel he sent to contact and investigate again are mostly the result of no return.
In the end, according to several people who ran back to the rescue after swimming in the water, fighting was almost everywhere in the north of Wuzhou, and the camps set up by the thief army could be seen everywhere.
But wherever there is a slight error or improper reaction, it is the overwhelming number of bows and crossbows shooting over, and the ranger rushing to chase. Therefore, it is easy to lose your life or die in the wilderness inexplicably if you are not careful.
During this process, instead, Zhang Zimian had been paying attention and paying attention to the thief army and horse team and the boat division, all of which disappeared temporarily; this made people very confused and uneasy.
Seeing that he expected that the battlefield and the blocking line could no longer be maintained, would he really have to rely on Jinhua City, where the city's defenses were relatively complete, to fight a tragic and increased offensive and defensive battle with the thief army
And to the north of Jinhua City, with the sound of cannons rumbling like dense rolling thunders, outside the trembling small town of Yiwu, on the top of an unnamed hill on the bank of the Dongyang River, which is convenient for viewing, has been erected to represent the Chinese Army. Board signal tower.
Under the tower, surrounded by various camps, flags, barriers, and trenches, inside and outside the several grass cottages are full of figures running back and forth.
"I know you have no shortage of eagerness to be able to rely on resourcefulness and scheming to be a big news..."
Zhou Huaian, who had just visited several cities in a row, seemed to be in a very good mood, and he was awake to the accountants, staff officers, army officers and counselors around him.
"However, wisdom and strategy are complementary to one's own strength. With a point of power, strategy can naturally increase by one point; but with a force that is ten or even far beyond, the effect and added achievements of strategy are far less than expected. Up..."
"So the real key for the Taiping Army is to seize the opportunity to gain momentum. This momentum is not only for the use of soldiers, horses, food and grass, but also for the output of the land and population. It is also the right time and place, and many factors, and even the people's hearts and minds. Part of the trend."
"And the ability to converge these factors into the general trend will naturally have sufficient advantages and advantages. It can be dignified and crushed, so that the other party has no chance to use the problem or use the opportunity to make foreign moves. It is the ultimate victory and the rise and fall of the enemy. The smooth road of destruction."
"If you just blindly win by surprise, it is just a limited pattern that is planned and built by people. And once you habitually rely on this method, there will be one day because people are exhausted, and because there is nothing to calculate. Accidents and variables have come at a heavy price."
"At the time, Zhuge Wuhou, who was known as assisting his wisdom and approaching the monsters, made all his outbursts in the Qishan Mountains, but eventually ended up in hatred because of the defeat of a street pavilion; it was because the Shu Han was fighting against each other in a state. The great power of the seven states of Cao and Wei is very different."
"And let him have to use his personal strategy and wisdom to make up for and win, and gradually accumulate variables that change the overall pattern and general trend. The result is that the manpower is exhausted and the number of days is impermanent, and he has to do his best to the last moment of his life..."
"And the most puzzling advantage and victory is that our army can lose five times, ten times, and there is still the foundation for a comeback; but the enemy can only win all the time, and once it can no longer win, it will immediately. The result of falling into despair."
"After all, you are the people who have been fascinated by me. You shouldn’t have only this kind of structure and size; maybe it’s hard to say, but there must be a big picture and vision. I also hope that there will be a few Huo Yaoping in the future. , Ban Dingyuan style character..."
"Thank you..."
Everyone on the left and right at the scene suddenly clashed their hands in unison.
"So, this goes back to another issue... For example, I usually don't feel like a commendable opponent, but I am happy or sympathetic to each other."
Zhou Huai's waved his hand still intently:
"As an adversary, I would rather they are stupid, short-sighted, selfish and greedy. This is also not about personal aura and pattern, but it allows our soldiers to pay less and sacrifice and damage to achieve their goals and goals. The result of hope..."
"For like-minded companions and robes that are as warm and gentle as the spring light, and as awe-inspiring as the winter for enemies that hinder their careers, this is the true way of forgiveness that distinguishes justice and profit..."
At this time, it was like some kind of echoing, and suddenly Yuanyuan's fighting sound faintly sounded outside the account.
"No, it seems that there are people who want to take the risk and make a desperate bet. But let me watch one or two from the height..."
Zhou Huaian smiled lightly.
Afterwards, Zhou Huaian led the people to stand on the rock protruding from the south end of the top of the mountain, and he could see the enemy in the distance. This time he was killed from the Dongyang River on the waterway.
I saw that all of them were wrapped in a scarf on their heads, wearing black shirts, shirtless and barefoot, holding cane cards, spears, square-headed machetes and bamboo spears, and quite a few of them were holding slightly different-shaped medicated crossbows; Walking on the riverside between the rocks and mudflats is as agile and easy as walking on the ground.
"This... seems to come from the Geshanman in Dongyang County...belongs to the other branches of the Shanhaman of the Fujian and Zhejiang generation..."
Immediately there was someone who was specifically responsible for this aspect of the enemy's situation, carefully identified it and spoke.
However, Zhou Huai'an quickly lost interest in this sudden battle, because these Geshan barbarians are just as their name suggests. They only have the courage to fight for the first place, but they don’t have any advantages and strengths in equipment and tactics.
Under the strike of the crossbowmen and firearms of the Taiping Army who were lying in the nearby woods, they soon fell into a bewildered chaos; like an enraged and teased bull, they soon turned their offensive to other irrelevant ones. Go up in the critical direction.
Immediately, Zhou Huaian walked behind him silently, and the petite figure in armor and hood motioned to him, and walked behind a big tree far away from the line of sight.
Then loosened his belt, and said to the opponent standing behind the tree:
"Come here and help..." (End of this chapter)
