Chapter 210 Proxy War

There is a name for a kind of war in later generations, called proxy war!

You don’t necessarily need to fight shirtless yourself. Fighting with a group of gay guys shirtless is called fighting for hegemony. Spend a little money and send others to work. When they both lose, you come to pretend to be the savior. This is what a wise man does.

Now that Wang Hou has no strength to annex Zang Ba, a local tyrant, then give him benefits, increase his strength, make him unable to restrain his desire to attack, and make enemies everywhere. It is said that he often walks by the river, where can he not get wet? shoe?When he stumbles, Wang Hou can take action!
I'm so bad!
While swaying along with the horse, Wang Hou laughed evilly, but before he could laugh, a clear and curious voice rang out from beside him.

"Why is Zhou Mu laughing? It looks so evil!"

Wang Hou couldn't help but choked on his smile, and immediately rolled his eyes impatiently.

"It's evil! You'll know when you get married!"

"Hmph, forget it, cheapskate!"

Following behind his horse, the eldest lady of the Zhuge family, who was holding the horse's reins and wrapped in a big scarf, turned her head and raised her mouth angrily.

I really don't understand why Cao Hongjie sent this girl over to watch him. Isn't she afraid that he will sleep with him just like Lu Ji did last time?He gave this girl a weird look, and Wang Hou turned his attention to the front again.

Zang Ba's mobilization this time is not small. He mobilized more than 2 Taishan bandit infantry and cavalry, and additionally dispatched 5000 Sun Guan and 4000 Yin Li. He originally wanted to mobilize Changxi's troops, but last time the two had a bad relationship. , this time Chang Xi did not give Zang Ba face.

The armored weapons he brought were also equipped by Zang Ba. The horseshoes newly put on by Ma Jun rattled on the frozen snow, and the forward heavy infantry wore two turtle shells given by Wang Hou. The same plate armor, carrying a new steel halberd, and rubbing his hands while walking, the steel armor can indeed provide a good defense, but it is powerless against the icy weather.

Seeing the patches of white air rising and falling like chimneys, Wang Hou kept shaking his head secretly while lamenting the frost resistance of the ancients in this era.

cotton!Must get it out next year!
The target of this expedition is Zhucheng. After Langya Kingdom was divided at the end of the Han Dynasty, the central area of ​​Chengyang County was about Weifang City in later generations. Ju County to the south, Rizhao City and other places are all desolate areas, and Pingchang to the north , Gaomi, Dongwu, Gumei and other counties, no matter the city or the population, became rich all of a sudden.

It was not Wang Hou's whim to fight here. Geographically, Zhucheng and Ju County, Rizhao are close to form an isosceles triangle. In terms of strength, this place can threaten his newly built Rizhao City anytime and anywhere. Wang Hou’s Luzhong urban agglomeration is very rich in population. Once the Taishan bandits cross the border, a large number of local people will inevitably flee. As long as one-fifth of them flee to the south, Wang Hou will make money. His Rizhao Port City is too lacking. The population is too labor-intensive, especially after winter, and he still wants to cultivate cotton fields, which requires a lot of manpower!
It would be best to get another [-] strong men!Unknowingly, Wang Hou fell into his own world again, breathing in the cold air and pondering.

But at this time, his cold hand suddenly warmed up, he turned his head in astonishment, and grabbed his hand, but Zhuge Ying was already in his usual silly and sweet image, screaming hastily and fiercely.

"Shield Array! Protect the State Shepherd!"

It was only at this time that Wang Hou heard clearly that the two Taishan thieves on horseback in front of them were roaring and roaring shrillly against the wind of knives wrapped in snowflakes.

"The striker meets Eagle Claw Sun, shoulder to shoulder with the job!"

Enemy here?
…………

Like in the performance, with the bang of a gong, a bunch of people came out!Or squatting in the grass in the anti-Japanese drama, the devils will walk right into the encirclement, basically bullshit!Firstly, there are not mountain kilns everywhere, and marchers generally avoid entering these dangerous places. Second, sending scout cavalry is the basic quality of every qualified military commander. It is possible to explore the marching route within three days in advance. Like this Lunan Rao crossed Mount Tai, marched to Luzhong, and more often walked on the flat plains. Get ready, and suddenly form an attacking army formation to break into the opponent's army field.

After all, they have been thieves for many years. Zang Ba's Taishan army is much better than those Taishan thieves who went south to plunder Langya country, both in terms of organization and morale. When they got up, the marching team that had been stretched into a long strip quickly became thick and flattened like dough, and became a horizontal team.

Armored bandits holding shields or spears walked to the front of the team, while light infantry bandits holding short knives and wearing commoner clothes shrank behind. hand!

In this era, the terrain of Mount Tai is rugged, with many deer, wild boars and tigers. Many old hunters in the mountains have practiced sharp shooting. Among Zang Ba's subordinates, this is the most outstanding bow and arrow unit. Training archers requires too much time and expense. , this part is also what Wang Hou is most in short supply.

Although it can't be said that the formation is strong, it is still a battle formation. Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao are all over the place, and the banners of the leaders of all colors are pouring forward. The Taishan formation that has been in the team for more than [-] minutes is finally like a black wall. Pressed forward like that.

This time Wang Hou brought a total of more than 300 guards, but he didn't want to waste his strength here. He also pushed the troops as far as possible to the back very wretchedly, and marched for more than ten minutes. Just arrived at the battlefield.

Riding on a horse, Wang Hou stretched his neck to look around. Below several small hills, there was also a dense array of dense yellow lines. A large number of densely packed flags with Yuan characters fluttered in the wind, and there was also a big flag with Jiang characters. Played at the forefront of the army.

Chengyang prefect Jiang Qi's troops!
At this time, the forward cavalry of the Taishan army had already engaged in fire with the opponent. Just as the horse army was in the middle, thousands of Taishan riders rushed to the front of Jiang Qi's army on horseback, threw an arrow suddenly, turned around and ran away, crackling In the rain of arrows, even the heavy formation of Jiang Qi's troops can only walk slowly. The forwards are also archers and crossbowmen who shoot back and forth repeatedly. From time to time, Mount Tai cavalry can be seen being shot off their horses.

Relying on the cavalry, Zang Ba dragged on enough time after all until the main force of his infantry arrived.

Just when Wang Hou was fascinated, and Zhuge Ying behind him was staring at the binoculars in his hands with unbearable curiosity, a sound of horseshoes sounded, and a large Tibetan flag was moved to the center of the army formation, holding the binoculars king in hand. Hou handed it over, ignoring Zhuge Ying's cheers, he rode his horse to the front in a hurry, side by side with Zang Ba, staring at the thick Yuan Jun, Wang Hou asked hurriedly.

"what's the situation?"

"do not know!"

Shaking his head, Zang Ba's bearded face of the son of a country is indescribably gloomy, and his pair of moves are full of murderous intentions!
