Chapter 1016 Victory
(Thanks to book friend "Reduced Words Mulan 1245" for 5 monthly passes.)
In the tenth year of Jiayou's reign, the Privy Council began to select commanders.
In Jiayou's eleventh year, Xie Yu ranked first in the written examination and martial arts examination, but due to his background, experience, and age, he could only be a general.
In the same year, the Zhou Dynasty sent envoys to Northern Liao with heavy gifts, hoping to gain strategic initiative.
Years of peace also gave the peace faction in Northern Liao the upper hand, coupled with generous bribes from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Bei Liao agreed, and Zhou sent troops to teach the west to teach the Xia tribe, which had a big tail and was jumping around.
In the twelfth year of Jiayou's reign, the imperial court began to mobilize troops in the northwest, dispatching 100,000 troops to launch the "Battle of Hengshan".
Although Xie Yu could not be a commander, because of the favor of Prince Zhao Xi, when the army implemented the strategy of attacking in three directions.
According to the distribution of troops, there are 10,000 troops on the left, 80,000 main troops on the center, and 10,000 troops on the right.
Xie Yu was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the right branch army, which was actually the position of commander-in-chief of the branch army.
Xie Yu deeply felt the trust of Prince Zhao Xi, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it. He used various small methods, small and large paintings, and soon the whole army came together to "unify" the morale of the army.
However, the army was dispatched and it took such a long time to prepare. Xiabu was not stupid. He had already obtained the marching information of the Zhou Dynasty army through bribery.
After luring the enemy deep into the territory, "Victory" lured the red-eyed army, and the Xia tribe used the ravines to penetrate deep into the northwest terrain, and was ambushed.
Although Xie Yu's military sense is average, he has experienced a lot of war experience. In fact, the more people he killed, the more experience he gained.
In Xie Yu's view, those TV dramas and history books, where the two armies are facing each other head-on, and when they open up with great morale, which boosts morale and makes people's blood flow, is actually the most stupid behavior.
Now that you are on the battlefield, you have to put aside all the beautiful words of human beings, and kill people faster and sharper than anyone who has not been offline. If you kill everyone, the war will naturally be won.
When the two armies are fighting, it is natural to pay attention to one's own behavior, try to weaken the enemy, add negative energy to the enemy, and try to bless yourself and give yourself more positive energy.
It’s not like the old saying goes, the weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people!
Actually, that's what it means.
He caused the enemy to have diarrhea and was unable to stand up. After taking Dali Pills, he stabbed the enemy in the waist and killed him while he was sick.
The hawk in the sky had eyes, and Xie Yu had already noticed something was wrong, and sent out warning messages to the main force in the middle.
It must be reasonable for the Xia army's Iron Yaozi and Bubazi to dominate the northwest for so long.
Also, the Zhou army, which has experienced such a large-scale war for many years and has a richer economic environment, is now basically armed to the teeth.
With the blessing of victory all the way, the arrogance and arrogance in the army became even stronger.
The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army not only ignored Xie Yu's warning, but instead ordered Xie Yu to move closer to them.
But after seeing the encirclement formed, Xie Yu decisively obtained the secret order from Prince Zhao Xi, disobeyed the military order, changed the march route, and stayed away from the Chinese army.
This move was beyond Xia Bu's expectation. After all, no one knew the consequences of disobeying military orders.
But Xie Yu did this. As a last resort, Xia Division could only remove the elite Iron Kites and Bu Ba Zi, strengthen the ambush force ambushing Xie Yu's right side, and pursue Xie Yu.
As soon as Xie Yu chased after him, the military initiative was in Xie Yu's hands. Xie Yu didn't dare to say anything else. Xie Yu considered himself to be half an expert in setting up an ambush.
The weather is the same for everyone, the people are harmonious, and the army is working hard for an expedition. To be honest, the morale is not as good as that of the Xia army, and that is only due to geography.
In this regard, Xie Yu thinks that he is very experienced, um, very experienced.
Soon, Xie Yu, who had taken the initiative, began to pinch out Xia Bu's eyes in the sky step by step.
Soon, Xia's pursuing army's march route fell into the hands of Xie Yu, who had the initiative.
After leading the bulls and bullfighting, they succeeded in irritating the Xia army.
The Xia tribe elites lost their minds and pursued the army, but were ambushed by Xie Yu in a Gourd Valley.
The improvised rolling wood thunder stone is still very useful
Although this elite Xia tribe, which numbered about fifteen thousand, was very powerful, they were very brave.
In terms of elite men from the northwest who have been fighting for years, most of them are better than the partial army in Xie Yu's hands. However, the flesh and blood can't compare with the big rocks and logs that came down from the top of the mountain.
Moreover, Xie Yu organized elite archers and divided them into different groups. Whoever had the loudest voice or who was brave would be shot to death.
As for killing, no matter how tyrannical you are, your flesh and blood are not as strong as an iron arrow.
If you are in good physical condition, you will be rewarded with two more arrows!
Sometimes battles can be so dramatic, and it's easy to switch between prey and hunter.
This is also the truth that a thousand pieces of gold are easy to come by, but a good general is hard to find.
Although Xie Yu doesn't think he is a good general, in this era of competition, Xie Yu, an experienced man who has traveled through so many worlds, can raise even a pig.
Back to the war, in this world, there are only a few people with courage, and most people just follow the herd.
When the voice of surrender became louder, Xie Yu stopped his ambush tactics, and after shouting "Wan Sheng" with great morale, he began to go down to the valley to accept prisoners of war.
Through interrogation, we naturally knew that the main force was ambushed, and the lieutenant general advocated rescuing the main force. This was also the meaning of their partial division.
But Xie Yu knew that it was already too late.
The only thing we can do now is to surround Wei and save Zhao.
Although the Xia tribe is elite, due to the overall population, there is an upper limit on the number of people in the army.
Naturally, through bribery, we knew the marching route of the Zhou army. In order to ambush the Zhou Dynasty's army, which was armed to the teeth, we naturally sent out as many troops as we could.
Unexpectedly, one of them, Xie Yu, who disobeyed military orders, counterattacked and killed the pursuing ambush army, which also left a certain gap in the main force of Xia's army. Such an ambush was naturally imperfect.
In this case, it depends on how to buy time.
Is there still a need for a lower limit?
So, Xie Yu let the four thousand prisoners of war who were still intact, and after handing in their first certificates, played another trick of "eleven kill".
After that, the army simply disguised itself and went straight into the Xia tribe's sphere of influence. They drove the prisoners of war here, killed them all, and burned them all to get to know them.
After giving each of them at least three Natsubu men's request to kill enough, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted.
Finally, after statistics, it’s not enough. It’s okay. I’ll kill you every ten times. I’m waiting for you, dear!
Just like this, he might kill three people, five people, eight people, or even ten people.
This army of prisoners of war has basically disappeared. It’s okay, there are still newcomers!
After the war, those on the side close to the Zhou Dynasty were basically wiped out by Xie Yu's partial army and the use of prisoners of war.
Then burn everything within sight.
In fact, Xiabu had a total population of less than 8 million, but Xie Yu's move killed hundreds of thousands of young and strong men, plus the accompanying white ground, old, weak, women and children in ragged clothes.
Although, Xia's main elite army suffered heavy losses of nearly 50,000 to the Zhou Dynasty's elite in the Hengshan ambush battle.
But the main force was elite and was successfully held back.
Finally, knowing that their tribe was being slaughtered, many of Xia's elite soldiers began to flee privately.
Under such circumstances, after the morale of the army was unstable, they tentatively attacked the remaining main force of the Zhou Dynasty.
After so many days of adapting, Da Zhou is worthy of being the elite selected from each army.
Although they were caught off guard at first and suffered heavy casualties, fortunately they had sufficient weapons and quickly built a temporary camp to defend themselves against the attack.
In fact, the main army was still worried about Xie Yu, the "lost contact" side army. After all, Xie Yu was the confidant of Prince Zhao Xi.
If something happened to Xie Yu, it would be difficult for them to explain it. This was one of the reasons why they did not collapse after encountering Xia Bu's ambush.
They knew that since something "happened" to Xie Yu and they were defeated, their family might be hated by Prince Zhao Xi for the rest of their lives.
Perhaps in the reign of Prince Zhao Xi, their nephew will never be able to succeed.
If someone in the clan finds out, he may not be able to enter his ancestral graves a hundred years later.
That's the scariest thing.
This is also an important reason why the feudal rulers, the Yi three tribes and the Yi nine tribes, let you know the cost of betrayal!
Especially for the civil servants of the Zhou Dynasty, they naturally had a sense of mission in their hearts after finally establishing a dynasty co-ruling with scholar-bureaucrats.
This is one of the main reasons why after many days, the main elite force of the Xia tribe was unable to capture the 90,000 elite Zhou troops in the ambush circle while occupying the ground.
But without the existence of Xie Yu's partial army and spending more time, it can always be done.
but…….
They were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. Is this their hometown?
Eat by exchanging food, find out more!
Later, Xia's elite army had to retreat.
And full of anger, he was ready to take revenge. Xie Yu's partial army only had 10,000 troops.
The falcon in the sky naturally informed Xie Yu of the situation. Xie Yu, who was prepared in advance, bribed the Northern Liao garrison and took the opportunity to return to Zhou Dynasty, and then dared to go to Hengshan to join the main force.
However, at the moment of rendezvous, Xie Yu was captured in the name of disobeying military orders.
Xie Yu was appeased, and the troops on the right under his command made noise and went to the cell voluntarily.
Later, there was a decree from the court to relieve Xie Yu from all his posts, reduce him to a commoner, and escort him back to Beijing.
After escaping several assassinations along the way, in the thirteenth year of Jiayou's reign, the twenty-nine-year-old Xie Yu finally returned to Beijing.
According to the decree, Xie Yuquan was not allowed to go out or accept visitors when he entered the mansion. The imperial army was stationed outside the mansion.
In fact, there was no need for an imperial edict. The colleagues and colleagues who were familiar with Xie Yu knew that Xie Yu had so many lives in his hands. Even though he was killing enemies for the country, they took the initiative to distance themselves from Xie Yu.
