Chapter 612: One acre of land is too little
"Woo...woo..."
The horn had already set off, and countless scouts came and went around within a distance of more than ten miles. Dadan and several truly powerful tribes really united. The efficiency was beyond Zheng Zhi's expectations. Several tribes that were not subordinate to each other could simply bring all the warriors of the tribe together to fight.
Zheng Zhi originally thought that such a grassland, which was as loose as loose sand, should not have happened, and he should have negotiated and persuaded each other to successfully reach a military gathering agreement. Unexpectedly, Li Yaogou brought back the news in six or seven days, saying that the Dadan people had already begun to gather.
At this time, it was only half a month before Tegus escaped. The opposite of Zheng Zhi's army was the Dadan coalition, and the distance was only about ten miles away.
The war is about to break out!
Zheng Zhi was also looking forward to this battle for a long time, and Zheng Zhi was able to completely deal with the matters in the south of the grassland.
One force is in a dangerous place, either taking advantage of the situation to rise or being eaten to the point where it is not even left with bones.
Zheng Zhi is now in such a dangerous place, with Jurchens in the north and Songs in the south, and both the north and the south were enemies. Just like at the end of the Warring States Period, the six kingdoms attacked Qin, and Qin fought on several fronts, and was in danger. Qin was defeated, and the six kingdoms were divided. Qin won, and the world was no longer considered a big deal. He just waited for the old Qin to annex one by one.
The Qin can win the six countries lies in the victory of the system. The entire country is integrated with strict laws and strong rule, and the entire country hesitates to a very efficient war machine. The other six countries are much less efficient than the system. This is the core reason for the victory of Qin.
Strict laws and strong rule also indirectly resulted in the consequences of Qin's death for only two lifetimes. Good and bad luck depended on each other.
Under the same conditions, the differences in institutions are differences in national strength, and there is no doubt about this.
The army stopped, and the two sides were seven or eight hundred steps apart.
Ten thousand Han iron armored cavalry.
More than 40,000 cavalrymen.
Zheng Zhi looked in front of the formation for a while, slowly turned around and reached the back formation. There was a simple platform in the back formation, with several seats on the platform, and behind the seats were two towering flags.
One shot is written with "Yan" and the other shot is written with "Zheng"!
Behind the high platform, there are more than a dozen cowhide drums and more than ten huge gongs. Further to both sides are the horns.
Under the high platform, most of the more than 200 personal soldiers had to do was to pass orders. Zheng Zhi's orders were probably the most generals in this world. Zheng Zhi was becoming more and more accustomed to commanding battles in detail. The more detailed the war was, the higher the chance of victory.
Further down the road, there are baggage, and some civil servants like Moge and Tu. Zhou Duwen and Wu Yong are also at the end.
Zheng Zhi came back from the front of the formation, got off his horse and walked onto the general's platform, signaling him to sit down several times, and the people around him were Zhong Shizhong.
One by one, the army continued to change its formation, and two teams of knights on both sides appeared. The two wings spread out, and the central army was closely connected.
The Mongols also had this kind of tactic when they fought in the west. The fierce attacks on both wings, the central army made another heavy punch, and the ranger was waiting for an opportunity to move, which was also in line with the righteous way of "The Art of War".
The tactical method is the specific way of fighting. The strategy method is planning outside of combat. The Chinese have been good at this since ancient times and have been immersed in it for thousands of years. Whether it is diplomacy, strategy, or tactics, they have their own set of extremely pragmatic theories.
From the perspective of the long history of China, the most famous theory is the inter-family and near attack. It is also this theory that allows the descendants of China, who have begun to make their fortunes in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River Basin to have their current huge territory. This is extremely successful and is also the only national inheritance of such a continuous and successful humanity in history.
This is also the reason why China will always become a world power no matter what kind of underestimation it experiences. Although the world is getting bigger and bigger, no matter how ups and downs, the descendants of China will always stand at the height of the world.
"The weather is getting warmer and warmer..." Zheng Zhi made all the arrangements, just waiting for the soldiers and generals under his command to prepare, and he was in the mood to chat for a few words.
The efficiency of preparation before the formation is also an important factor in the outcome of the war. Whoever prepares first will start the battle first and will gain more advantages. This is not the way to fight in the Spring and Autumn Period, but both sides must be prepared before they can start the war. For the nature of the war, this etiquette is obviously backward.
"Yes, the prince fought from spring to winter, and from winter to spring. He has been galloping on the battle formation for several years. I don't know when the battle will be finished in the year." Zhong Shizhong said, "Chinese people always look forward to peace and prosperity, among which peace is the main one. Only with peace can there be prosperity.
Zhong Shizhong said something, and Zheng Zhi shook his head repeatedly, but there was a smile on his face, saying, "Zhong Xianggong, war is not necessarily a bad thing. If a country is established, it is best to fight a hundred years of war. A hundred years later, I will not need war in China, let others continue fighting."
Zheng Zhi's words were extremely cruel, but they were extremely realistic. Because the world was too big, and it might be enough to become a country in the Celestial Empire.
Master Zhong was stunned when he heard this and asked, "If the world is unified, there will be no need for the men to fight with their lives. Going home one acre of land, marrying a wife and having children, and having children for generations will be successful."
Zheng Zhi stood up and looked at the cannon on the side, while speaking, "Zhong Xianggong said so much, but this acre of three-point land is too little, haha..."
The one-acre and three-point land mentioned by Master Zhong is just a reference. Zheng Zhi's words naturally have other meanings, but Zheng Zhi doesn't explain much, and things are always step by step.
When Master Zhong heard this, he laughed and said, "Haha... One acre of three parts of land is too small."
Both of them said that one acre of three-point land was too small, but the meaning of the discourse was very different.
Then Zheng Zhi shouted: "Fire the fire, fire first."
Zheng Zhi ordered the firing of artillery. He saw that the artillery was ready, so he didn't wait any longer. The enemy was within range. firing artillery would inevitably cause chaos to the enemy's deployment, which was also an advantage.
A soldier rushed to the left to attack the horse and shouted: "The King of Yan has an order, fire the cannon!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The blue smoke made a lot, and the sound shook the sky.
The Dadan people in the distance had just arranged a large formation, and they were already in chaos. The number of casualties and wounded people was nothing compared to the number of large troops. However, it was a chaotic act. The knights kept strangling the reins to control their horses to avoid causing greater chaos.
If it were the Jurchens, who had already charged forward at this time, would not have allowed Zheng Zhi to make any more advantage by relying on the range of the cannon.
However, the Dadan coalition seemed to have not come from one person, and the efficiency of pre-war preparations was much worse. However, the second round of artillery attacks came.
Zheng Zhi saw the movements of the Dadan people in the distance and smiled even more. At this time, the No. 15,000 Iron Cavalry was ready for war and was supposed to be beating the drum to order the charge, but Zheng Zhi was not in a hurry to order the drum to beat it, but watched the cannons shoot round by round, and the Dadan formation in the distance became more and more chaotic.
Zhong Shizhong also stood up and said, "Look at this Dadan person, he is worse than Dangxiang people."
Zheng Zhi nodded and said, "The Dangxiang people's war is constantly going on. Under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, the Dadan people are at most fighting for some grasslands, and they cannot be compared. However, if these Dadan people have been trained and have one or two major battles, they will definitely be strong."
Zheng Zhi never looked down on the grassland men in his heart. After all, these grassland men under Genghis Khan Temujin were these grassland men. These people just had no real experience and excellent military equipment. After these two conditions were met, these grassland men would definitely be invincible.
After four rounds of artillery attacks, the Dadan people finally couldn't hold back and couldn't care about so much preparation. The central army had already begun to charge.
Then the left and right wings also started to rush. However, there was also a considerable time difference between the cooperation. This time difference proved that the command was inconsistent and insufficient preparation.
Seeing as Dadan people from afar began to charge, Zheng Zhi shouted: "Stop the cannon, beat the drum!"
As the drums sounded, the 15,000 cavalry were rushing out in an orderly manner, and the entire front row of the battle formation was not dragged at all.
Compared with the two, there is already a difference between the two.
Zheng Zhi and Master Zhong also got off the stage and prepared to get on the horse.
In a cavalry battle, the commander obviously cannot wait on the generals, but must follow the army. Otherwise, after a while of intercourse, the commander will inevitably be exposed to the enemy.
If there is a large number of infantry battles, the commander can take charge of the command.
The one who was at the end was also smug. At this time, he also held his saber tightly and looked at the man No. 100 bald man behind him, and stared at Zheng Zhi who had already stepped down from the stage in front of him.
He also had an impulse in his heart. Zheng Zhi was at the end of the formation, with only more than one hundred personal soldiers around him. He also had a hundred confidants around him.
Yes, the hand holding the hilt of the knife was so nervous that it kept trembling, and the impulse in his heart was difficult to curb. The King of Yan of the Song Dynasty was too harsh, too cruel, too bullying...
The opportunity at this time is once a lifetime. If Zheng Zhi is killed at this time, the Han people will inevitably be defeated in this battle, and the grassland will no longer need others to make decisions.
The more you think about it, the harder it is to curb it. You are even constantly encouraging the courage in your heart, trying to pull out the knife from your waist again and again.
When I looked back and looked at the number one hundred and ten confidants, I looked at the Han people's baggage soldiers not far away, and several civil servants in armor not far away.
Ye Kemei seemed to have made up her mind. The trembling man slowly pulled out the saber, his movements so small that others could not notice.
Zheng Zhi in front of him was tidying up his armor and checking his weapons left and right, as if he didn't care about the people behind him at all.
I also felt silence in my ears and could not hear any sound. There was only the heartbeat that was beating rapidly in my chest, the impulse that kept fermenting in my mind, and the hideous expression that Zheng Zhi threatened himself.
