Chapter 319
Half a month has passed.
Zhao Kuo was quite calm in the past half month. He seemed to have done nothing but doing military affairs and training cavalry every day.
“Yes, you have to pay attention.
Our retreat is not a real retreat, but a kind of luring the enemy into depth, so we must be in chaos and orderly when retreating. Do you understand?
If you see the right time, you must shoot cold arrows in the back, so that the enemy will continue to lose vitality during the pursuit.
When they find that their vitality has been consumed by us, they will be afraid, stop and even turn around and run away. At this time, we can turn back and advance, and chase their butts in turn, thus achieving victory!"
Zhao Kuo’s words are not nonsense. This tactic has appeared in Chinese history, and it has also created the most powerful land empire in human history - the Mongol Empire.
That's right, this is the famous "Manguda" tactic of the Mongolian cavalry! More than a thousand years later, the Mongolian cavalry swept the world with this tactic. Considering the age factors, once the Zhao cavalry learned such tactics, the power would only be even stronger! Zhao Kuo has always had very few opportunities to contact the Zhao border cavalry corps that were in charge of the northern border, and this time he gave Zhao Kuo this opportunity.
Although Zhao Kuo rarely used the border cavalry legion in several major battles, it was just because the geographical factors of Shangdang, Hedong, and the Wuhan Channel did not allow the border cavalry legion to play out.
But after Zhao Kuo unified the world, he headed towards the Western Regions, even Central Asia, West Asia and even Eastern Europe, and all the way was a vast grassland, which was an excellent place for cavalry to perform.
Zhao Kuo's eyes have never been as simple as just a Chinese! So, let alone half a month, even for one month, two months or even longer, as long as Zhao Kuo can continue to train these 40,000 elite cavalrymen of Zhao State and thoroughly instill the advanced cavalry ideas and tactics in Zhao Kuo's mind into the minds of these Zhao State cavalrymen, Zhao Kuo would be happy to accept it.
Time is on Zhao Kuo's side, but no one else realizes it.
The drama is tired.
Ju Xin is already an old man with white hair. It is not a problem for such an old man to get up early every day. After all, the old man has less sleep, but after getting up every day, it takes nearly an hour and a half to patrol a military camp of 120,000 people, which is a huge burden.
As the person who patrolled the camp with Ju Xin every day, the deputy general of Yan State, Le Jian was the first to realize this problem, so he went to pay a visit to Ju Xin.
Although Ju Xin was tired, the old man's face exuded a sense of spirit: "Jun Chang Guojun, then Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo really has no way to deal with us!"
Le Jian nodded and said, "Juqing, when will we attack?"
When Lejian said this, he felt a little funny. Originally, Lejian was strongly advocated defense when he was discussing the court.
But it is undeniable that after the confrontation for half a month, Le Jian also vaguely developed a subconscious mind that "Wu Xinjun is just like this, there is really no way to deal with us."
Not only the opera Xin and Le, most of the soldiers in the middle and lower classes of the Yan army who were originally very nervous and cautious also had this feeling in their hearts.
Wu Xinjun, who is victorious in every battle, is that?
Listening to Lejian's words, Ju Xin fell into hesitation and entanglement again.
After a long time, Ju Xin said: "I am still a little worried about Wu Xinjun's plan, so wait."
So, another half month passed.
The Zhao army and the Yan army had been confronting Tang He for a whole month. In this month, except for the conflicts between scouts that broke out from time to time, the two armies on both sides did not have any decent military operations at all.
In Handan, Han Xuwei's shouting became louder and louder: "Empress Dowager, Wu Xinjun really has no choice. The reason why he is unwilling to withdraw his troops is just for his own face.
In the current situation, Zhao either continues to increase troops to Wu Xinjun or withdraw Wu Xinjun directly!”
Faced with Han Xuwei's clamor, Pingyuan Jun also retorted: "Taishou, don't talk nonsense. Now it's only a month. Wait for a while and Wu Xinjun will definitely win!"
Han Xuwei laughed out loud, looking at Pingyuan Jun with a sarcastic expression: "Pingyuan Jun, come and talk to me, what way does Wu Xinjun have to break through the blockade of the 120,000 Yan troops in Tanghe?
I want to tell you, if it weren’t for the Yan army’s chief Ju Xin who was too cautious and dared not cross the river to fight Wu Xinjun, this battle would have ended long ago!”
If Pingyuan Jun was only a disadvantage in the last quarrel about Zhao Kuo, Pingyuan Jun was completely defeated during this quarrel! The empress dowager sat quietly and thought for a long time and said, "Let's do this, send someone to ask Wu Xinjun what's going on!"
Han Xuwei immediately volunteered: "Empress Dowager, I am willing to go as a representative!"
The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay.
But Grand Master, you must remember not to have conflicts with Wu Xinjun. You just need to bring Wu Xinjun’s answer back to the old woman!”
Han Xu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, the Queen Mother!"
Han Xuwei could no longer wait to see Zhao Kuo speechless in front of his questioning! "What, the Empress Dowager actually sent Han Xuwei as an envoy?"
When Zhao Kuo heard this news, his first impression was that he was speechless, and then he felt a little funny.
Xu Li said worriedly: "Master, Han Xuwei's journey is very fast and he will arrive in three days at most. How should we deal with it at that time?"
"Three days..." Zhao Kuo pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "How many days have we confronted the Yan army?"
Xu Li hurriedly said: "It's the 38th day!"
Zhao Kuo nodded and asked again: "How many days ago was the last time Xin inspected the entire army?"
Xu Li said: "Twenty days ago!"
Zhao Kuo smacked his lips and said, "That should be almost the same.
Uncle Xu, go and call Li Mu."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Mu appeared in Zhao Kuo's camp: "Your Majesty, I wonder what to call me to come?"
Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu with bright eyes and said in a deep voice: "Li Mu, do you still remember the previous plan?"
Li Mu's heart moved, then he showed joy and said, "I remember!"
Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "Now is the time for you to show off, let's take action!"
