Chapter 73: The Great Army Presses the Realm
Chapter 73: The army is undermining
"Haven Guo, are you joking?" Zou Ying finally realized for a long time, but he still didn't believe it.
"King, why should Guo joking?" Guo Jie was so angry: "I originally thought that Suiyang City was tall and thick. Even if the imperial court sent a large army, it would take a long time to capture it. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang brought Qin crossbow and attacked the city gate, and the city gate was broken. Zhou Yang, you and I were not finished!"
"Qin Crossbow?" Zou Ying's throat made a gurgling sound.
The power of Qin crossbows had spread all over the world a hundred years ago. If there were no Qin crossbows with infinite power, the Qin army would not be so good at fighting. With Qin crossbows, everything would be reasonable.
However, Zou Ying was still having a beautiful dream just now, fantasizing that King Liang would continue to fight against the court and disturb the Han Dynasty, so that he could make profits. After only a few moments, his beautiful dream was shattered, and it would not be possible to not be shocked.
Not to mention that Zou Ying was shocked, even Yu Shan was surprised that he couldn't speak.
"King, I wonder if the king can take it in for something like that of Guo?" Guo Jie looked at Zou Ying, his eyes flashing.
"Oh, this matter..." Zou Ying woke up in shock and said in contemplation: "Daxia Guo, how many people do you have now?"
Although Zou Ying wanted to keep Guo Jie, he had to worry about the Han Dynasty's army. Guo Jie caused such a big mess, wherever he fled, the Han Dynasty would chase him. Whether to take Guo Jie in or not depends on whether it was worth it.
Guo Jie understood his thoughts: "Although Guo's disciples have suffered a lot of losses, Guo Jie's order can still command the heroes of the world. The king should know that the centipede worm will die without being stiff. How can we, those who walk around the world, have no backup?"
This statement is exaggerated, but it is not unreasonable. Those who travel around the world will definitely have a backup plan. Although Guo Jie was chased and had nowhere to escape, his power was not completely destroyed. He must have recruited a lot of people. These people were very useful to Zou Ying, and could be used to spy on information from the Han Dynasty and even assassinate them.
If he wants to do something big, he has to win over Guo Jie. After a decision, Zou Ying changed his smile again: "Hiss Guo, please rest assured, just stay safe."
"Master, Guo has no choice but to say anything. Guo Jie is a sinner of the Han Dynasty. Wherever he fled, the Han Dynasty will chase him." Guo Jie's face was calm, but his heart was filled with murderous intent. If Zou Ying made a mistake in answering the answer, he would start a sudden attack: "Aren't the King afraid that Guo Jie will attract the Han army?"
"Haha!" Zou Ying smiled, holding his beard and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Even if the Han Han wants to send troops, he must have a lie, right? Liu Ju has been hiding in my Minyue for many years, and the Han Han doesn't know about it? The reason why he died was because he admitted it himself. If he didn't admit it, why should he kill him? Guo Da Xia just needs to act in secret and prevent the Han from knowing it."
This is the truth. Guo Jie knew that he could not show off now, so he could only do things in secret. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I would like to thank the king!"
"God of Guo said where has he been. If I ask for help from Guo, I would like to ask him to help me." Zou Ying then reached the point.
"Don't worry, Guo will understand." Guo Jie knew what he meant. If the Han Dynasty sent troops to attack Minyue, he would naturally not stand by and would have to help Minyue. Helping Minyue is helping himself.
"Haha!" Zou Ying was in a good mood and waved his hand, "I want to drink with Daxia Guo!"

"Master, the land of Minyue is ahead." Zhu Maichen rode on the horse and pointed the whip in his hand towards the front.
"Have you arrived in Minyue?" Zhou Yang pulled the reins and stopped chasing Fengjiao. Zhou Yang looked ahead and said, "The land of Minyue is no different from the land of the Han Dynasty. Water is the same water, and soil is the same soil. Why is there a difference between the Han Dynasty and Minyue?"
"The general is right! The mountains and rivers are the same, why should we distinguish you and me?" Zhu Maichen couldn't help but give advice: "This time we advance, we must eliminate this difference!"
"Transfer orders, slow down and advance slowly!" Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and ordered loudly.
"Master, why is this?" Li Guang couldn't figure it out, and looked at Zhou Yang with a confused look on his face.
It’s just that Cheng Bushi, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, and Qin Wuhui, who can understand it?
Not to mention them, even Zhu Maichen, who is very talented, was confused. He looked at Zhou Yang in surprise and analyzed: "Master, it is time to march at this time! If Zou Ying knew that the Han army was approaching, he would not mobilize the army to stop it. At that time, it would be a lot of trouble!"
"Yes, Grandmaster!" Li Guang and the others agreed in unison.
"Then I thank him!" Zhou Yang's words were enough to make people confused.
"This..." Zhu Maichen has always been a wise man, and at this moment, he had to be confused. His bright eyes were wandering around Zhou Yang, hoping to find the answer immediately.
"Master, don't say it so confusingly, can it be explained clearly?" Li Guang's quick words were both complaining and questioning.
"Oh! So that's it!" Zhou Yang was about to relieve their doubts, but Zhu Maichen screamed as if he had discovered a new continent. He was very excited and kept patting his forehead and praised: "A clever plan! A clever plan!"
"Chief, why are you the same as the Grandmaster?" Cheng Buzhi couldn't help but complain.
"You think, the land of Minyue is different from that of the Han Dynasty. It has many mountains and miasma, which is inconvenient to the army to operate." Zhu Maichen explained to Li Guang and the others extremely excitedly: "The people of Minyue mostly live in the mountains and scattered everywhere. The previous dynasty pacified Lingnan, which was a mountain and one mountain to pacify it. It was extremely difficult. If Zou Ying mobilized his army together and we decided to fight to determine Minyue, wouldn't it be much more worrying?"
"It's indeed a clever plan!" Li Guang and the others suddenly realized and praised him with high-fives.
If Zou Ying wants to mobilize the army together, he has to give him time. It is a wonderful move to advance slowly.
"Then let's go slowly towards the Minwang City!" Li Guang clapped his hands excitedly: "When we arrive at the Minwang City, we will have another big battle."
"This is not enough!" Zhou Yang's words are also incomprehensible.
"What should I do?" Cheng Buzhi asked hurriedly.
"I gave him time, no threat, Zou Ying would not be able to dispatch troops!" Zhou Yang's answer was very concise, and everyone understood as soon as they heard it.
This makes sense. Zhou Yang has only 30,000 people in his hands. If Zou Ying thought he would have mobilized 50,000 troops and defeated Zhou Yang, would he mobilize all his troops?
Won't!
If you want Zou Ying to mobilize all the troops, you will create a huge threat to him!
"Master, what should I do? Who should I find?" Li Guanghu's eyes shining brightly: "I've been holding it in for a year, and I finally have a chance!"
He had been fighting on the battlefield for a lifetime, and hadn't fought for a year, and his hands were really itchy. When Cheng Buzhi and his heart said this, he looked at Zhou Yang and waited for Zhou Yang to speak.
"Chief, you are familiar with the situation in Minyue, please pick a piece of fat for your brothers!" Zhou Yang handed over this matter to Zhu Maichen.
"Yeah! That's him!" As Zhu Maichen's eyes turned, his light shone.

Pucheng is a big city in Minyue. It is one of the most solid cities in Minyue after about ten miles of Zhouhui. In terms of its solidity, there are few people who can match it except the Minwang City.
Pucheng, located on the east side of the Minwang City, is the eastern barrier of the Minwang City, and its strategic position is extremely important. It can not only block the Minwang City, but also the base for the Minyue to the east and annex Dongou. Zou Ying is determined to unify the Hundred Yue, while Dongou is the weakest. He always wanted to start, but he was suffering from the pressure of the Han Dynasty and never dared to take action.
Although they did not take action, the preparations were always underway. Pucheng had 20,000 troops, and they were all selected and trained soldiers, and they were elites from Minyue. If the opportunity came, they would attack Dongou and incorporate Dongou into their territory.
The garrison of Pucheng was named Zou Gao, who was the clan of Zou Ying, the King of Minyue. This man was very talented and deeply trusted by Zou Ying, so he was sent to Pucheng.
Zou Gao is tall, has an iron tower, his eyes are like copper eyes, a wide mouth and a huge mouth, and is very brave. He is a famous warrior in Minyue and is very famous in the Minyue Kingdom.
At this time, Zou Gao was wearing a zither armor, a tassel helmet, and a Han sword hanging on his waist, and was patrolling the city.
Although the King of Minyue Zou Ying was determined to escape from the control of the Han Dynasty, Minyue could not live without the Han Dynasty everywhere. What could their food, clothing, housing and use be separated from the Han Dynasty? Even the army of Minyue was trained in imitation of the Han army.
Therefore, the equipment of the Minyue army is no different from that of the Han army, including armor, Han sword, tassel helmet, chariot, long halberd, and whatever the Han army uses.
Although the Minyue army has the same equipment as the Han army, its quality is completely different and cannot be compared with the equipment of the Han army. What causes this situation is that the Minyue technology is far inferior to the Han Dynasty.
A cavalry rushed over under the city, and Zou Gao saw it as soon as he looked at it. The cavalry galloped must have great military information and must have a chance to attack Dongou. If he took Dongou, he would make great contributions, Zou Ying would definitely have a great reward.
"Call him here!" Zou Gao waved happily.
The detective cavalry arrived, flew off the horse, and didn't bother to breathe, trotted over and reported to Zou Gao: "Sir, I'll find the Han army."
"Han Army?" Zou Gao thought he had heard it wrong, and rolled his eyes and shouted: "You dare to talk nonsense! How could the Han Army come?"
For decades, no Han army has entered the Minyue land. Even Zhou Yafu retreated from the border of Minyue last year. It is not difficult to believe that the Han army enter the Minyue land!
"Sir, it's true!" The detective cavalry hurriedly affirmed: "The Han army's flag and the Han army's uniforms can tell at a glance that there will be no mistakes!"
Seeing his anxiousness, Zou Ying had to believe what he said. Then he thought, maybe it was the Dong'ou army coming to attack and dressed up like this: "Do you see clearly? Is it really the Han army or the Dong'ou army?"
"Sir, it's the Han army that cannot be wrong, not the Dong'ou army!" The scout had to raise its tone: "They set up camp thirty miles east of the city. The camp was like an iron barrel, the village was strong, the tent was strict, and the weather was extraordinary. It was not something that the Dong'ou army could have."
The reason why Dongou is weak is that it is not only that it has little land and has few people, but also that their army cannot be trained properly. Even if the Dongou army dresses up as the Han army, the commands and momentum cannot be dressed up.
Especially when setting up camp, it also shows the quality of an army. After hearing the words of the detective cavalry, Zou Gao had to believe that this was true.
"How did the Han army come?" Zou Gao didn't know that Guo Jie had defected to Minyue, and he couldn't imagine that he wouldn't be surprised.
"How many people are there?" Zou Gao asked.
"It's just more than 10,000! No 20,000." The detective cavalry reported.
"The great Han is strong, far better than our Minyue. However, with just over 10,000 Han troops, you dare to go deep into the hinterland of our Minyue. Is this too underestimated Minyue? Do you really think there is no one in Minyue?" Zou Gao was very angry, pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and shouted: "Send an order, assemble the army and go to meet the enemy!"
"Sir, should you report this to the king?" a close friend reminded him.
"At most it is the Han army in Kuaiji!" Of course, Zou Gao didn't know that this was the new Han army, and it was amazingly powerful, and he thought it was the Han army in Kuaiji.
The biggest obstacle to Zou Ying's annexation of Dongou was the Han army, the Han garrison in Kuaiji. Of course, he had to spend a lot of effort, and he knew the Han army very well. In terms of combat power, the Han army would be better than the Fujian and Yue army. However, his army was not bad, not tolerated by the Kuaiji garrison, not to mention that he had an advantage in military strength.
As for the tactics of the Kuaiji army in the Han Dynasty, it was the same as the Minyue army. It was trained to intimidate Minyue, and was good at fighting in mountains and jungle. Speaking of mountains and jungle warfare, it was the secret skill of the Minyue army, and this was what we practiced.
The most important thing is that this is going deep into the hinterland of Minyue, and he has the advantage of time and place and people. Even if he can't defeat the Han army, he will not be defeated. If he uses it properly, such as a sneak attack, he will definitely succeed.
Once you succeed, it will be a great contribution. How could Zou Gao give up such a good opportunity?
As soon as the order was passed, the Minyue army was assembled, and under the leadership of Zou Gao, they drove out of the city and drove eastward.
I have to say that Zou Gao is not an incompetent person. The Minyue army he trained is very good. The formation is neat and the weather is strict. Twenty thousand troops are marching, with a well-organized and murderous intent.
"rumble!"
The Fujian and Yue army advanced with extraordinary momentum and splashed a lot of smoke and dust.
Zou Gaoqi looked at the Minyue army on the war horse, and was very proud, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. This time, he would definitely win. Once he defeated the Han army, he would take advantage of the situation to march and take down Dongou.
As long as you succeed, even if the Han Dynasty sends troops to come, it will be a fait accompli. Who will spit out the meat you eat?
Such great achievements have never been made since the founding of Minyue. Zou Gao's thoughts are more and more happy, and ordered the Fujian-Yue army to rush forward.
The majority of the army of Minyue was infantry. As for cavalry, it was not that there were no cavalry, but very few, and the proportion was too low. The reason for the small number of cavalry was not only because of the lack of horses in Minyue, but also because the inconvenience of cavalry operations in Minyue.
The horses produced in Minyue are short, have little strength, and are not tough. They cannot charge on the battlefield. They can only be used to pull carts and are not bad for logistics transportation.
Furthermore, the terrain of Minyue is complex, with mountainous jungles, not as vast as the desert, and it is not convenient for cavalry to gallop. Therefore, Minyue attaches great importance to cavalry, and the proportion of cavalry is pitifully small.
These 20,000 troops are no exception, they have to rely on two legs to rush on the road. There are also a large number of chariots, which makes the Minyue army's marching slower, comparable to the snail.
The thirty miles away was a journey, and for the cavalry, it took a long time to drink a glass of water, but Zou Gao took a long time.
Seeing the Han army's camp from afar, Zou Gao rushed forward and observed carefully.
The detective cavalry was right. The camp was in a very strict atmosphere, and the tents in the camp were lined up and lined up, which was far from comparable to the Dongou army. Looking at the solidity of the camp, it was not possible for the Dongou army to do, and it was true that the Han army was.
When you look at the camp, it is not big, and it can accommodate up to 10,000 people. If you want to squeeze out the campsite for 20,000 people.
With just a little force, the Han people dared to go deep into the hinterland of Minyue, and the Han people went crazy!
It’s good to be crazy! I’ll give him a great contribution.
Zou Gao has an advantage in military strength. The two armies have the same tactics, so he can't win. The more he thinks, the more excited he becomes. With a command, the Fujian and Yue army began to set up their formation.
This Fujian-Yue army was well-trained and deployed its formations very quickly. It didn't take much effort to deploy it to form a formation.
The chariots were arranged in front, behind the chariots were chariots, and next to the chariots were halberds and swordsmen, which were intended to fight with the Han army. If the Han army attacked, the Fujian and Yue army could use the cover of the chariots to kill and injure the Han army in large numbers.
Behind the chariot are archers, densely packed and large in number.
Behind the archers are swordsmen, protecting their backs. Their wings are also swordsmen. Their mission is to cover the safety of the military formation and not give the Han army a chance to attack sideways.
Although it was a military formation set up by the Fujian and Yue army, it was the same as the previous formation of the Han army. Before Zhou Yang led the troops, the Han army in the north used this formation to confront the Huns.
The difference is that the Han army in the north had more cavalry than the Minyue army, although there were not many cavalry at that time.
"Beat the drum!" Zou Gao ordered.
"Dongdong!"
The sound of war drums suddenly echoed throughout the world, which was extremely amazing.
"This man knows military tactics and practices well!" Zhou Yang in the camp looked at the Fujian and Yue army's formation and nodded, which was very appreciative. He did not erase the enemy's advantage. This is Zhou Yang's advantage, and he has always maintained it.
"It's good!" Li Guang also nodded in praise, but the tone changed: "It's a pity that he wants to go against the will of heaven, that's a way out! The monkey Zou Gao has already jumped several times, so it's time for us to show off! Don't underestimate him!"
"Let's fight!" Zhou Yang nodded slightly and gave an order.
The camp gate opened, and Han army drove out in groups. The first ones to drive out were cavalry, each with an iron tower, with a helmet and armor, like an iron monster.
In an orderly formation, they drove out of the camp and set up the formation outside the camp. The cavalry's movements were very fast and soon they formed a huge cavalry formation.
"Huh!"
Zou Gao saw it in his eyes and was strange in his heart. This could not be the garrison in Kuaiji. He knew quite well about the garrison in Kuaiji. Although there were cavalry, there were not so many. Not to mention, this cavalry was unique, tall and extremely strong. You can tell at a glance that it was an elite cavalry who could conquer and fight well.
The most conspicuous one is the armor of the Han cavalry, which is not the armor that Zou Gao is familiar with. He has never seen such armor before.
Although I have never seen it, with Zou Gao's eyes, you can tell that the armor's protective ability is surprisingly good, and their bows and arrows are difficult to hurt. Bows and arrows are the weapon that Minyue relies on to win. If they are restrained, his chances of winning will decline greatly. When Zou Gao's thoughts turn, he was shocked.
Just when he was surprised, Mo Dao opened his hand. Looking at the shining Mo Dao, Zou Gao was so surprised that his eyes almost fell off.
Although I have never seen the power of Mo Dao, it can be guessed from the heavy steps of Mo Dao's hand walking. It must be extremely heavy. Once it is slashed on the body, who can bear it?
