After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 151
The main reason is that the Jin Kingdom has been dominating for too long, and the sense of superiority accumulated psychologically is too heavy. I always feel that things have not gone bad to that point, so I am so confident.

Thinking of this, Meng Di let out a long sigh, and immediately made a decision.

"Judging from the current situation, the state of Lu is doomed this time. It has been in a stalemate with the state of Zheng for more than a month, but it has not seen an inch of success. Yang Hu's sending troops this time can be regarded as a waste of work. The center of the country today is to be a living target."

"Don't think about it, the first thing Qi will consider is to attack Lu and test Jin's reaction. If Jin doesn't make any moves this time, Lu will be able to keep it."

Hearing what he said, Ji Ran shook his head slightly.

"The situation is so complicated. Yang Hu's actions are tantamount to setting himself on fire. How can he offend Wei Guo according to Jin's intention? In this way, if Qi, Wei, and Zheng jointly send troops to attack Lu, then Yang Hu will What will the tiger do to deal with it?"

Feeling that these things are useless at this time, Meng Di stood up.

"Since the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more. We still need to step up training for this period of time. Now our cavalry regular army has nearly 3 people, and the horses can basically be three horses per man."

"Besides, during this period of time, the merchants who came to trade horses for wine are still coming one after another. According to the current situation, we can expand to nearly 4 people at most. With such a force, it is enough to threaten Qi. "

"In the next period of time, we will select people who can fight from among the people in various places, and use them to defend the city in the future. I am afraid that it will not be long before Qi will send troops. You and Han Zhan will be responsible for local defense. It’s about being prepared in advance.”

As Meng Di guessed, after the war between Zheng Guo and Lu Guo ended, Zheng Guo sent envoys to Qi State again to form an alliance directly. Although Wei Guo did not make a clear statement, he obviously got the news and was gathering troops in the country.

At this time, Qi State was also gathering troops, and the atmosphere of war was getting stronger and stronger. Meng Di no longer hesitated, and sent people to pay close attention to Qi State's movements, and at the same time, he was also preparing the materials needed for the army to go out.

The first one to attack was the State of Qi. This time, with Prime Minister Gao Zhang as the main general, he set off from Linzi with [-] chariots and set off from Linzi, with the goal of Xiyun. The cavalry crossed Yishui.

Just arrived near the Great Wall of Qi, Gao Zhang ordered the army to rest and prepare to go on the next day. At this time, the Great Wall of Qi had just taken shape. This was a fortification built to resist the invasion of Wei and Lu.

Now only passes have been built in key areas, but this has been able to prevent the passage of chariots. Gao Zhang is also full of confidence this time. He knows that Meng Di has been expanding his troops recently, and the number of cavalry has reached [-].

But he is not Pan Yi, 8 people will be nearly [-] people in the chariot. As long as they march carefully and don't give Mengdi an opportunity, then relying on the advantage of numbers, Mengdi can be taken down.

However, the reality was different from what Gao Zhang had imagined. In the early morning of the next day, a military marquis rushed to report.

"Report to Lord Xiangguo that there are movements of Lu troops on the border of Qi State, all of them are cavalry, and the number is at least [-]."

Hearing this, Gao Zhang frowned. He didn't expect that Meng Di would dare to lead troops to launch an attack. This was beyond his expectation, so he snorted.

"This Mengdi is quite courageous. He actually wants to use offense instead of defense. He looks very confident. You should investigate again immediately and pay close attention to the movements of the Lu army. Ben Xiangguo wants to take a look. This time he can What kind of tricks are you playing?"

After passing the boundary of Dongyun, the Marquis of the Army also found Gao Zhang's army, and flew back to Meng Di.

After getting the news, Meng Di chuckled in his heart. On such a flat terrain, the cavalry would be defeated if they fought against the chariot. The method used to deal with Ju State may not be very effective now.

Because Gao Zhang marched all the way to maintain his formation, he obviously came prepared. Under such circumstances, he still needs to worry about Dong Yun encircling his rear from behind, although with the mobility of cavalry, he can naturally break through the encirclement .

However, if the two sides were fighting, another soldier and horse appeared behind them, it would be fatal.

After thinking carefully for a while, Mengdi said to Boren beside him.

"You take five thousand cavalry, bypass Gao Zhang's army, and rush to his rear, and then the focus is to attack those Qi troops who are transporting food, grab as much as you can, and burn the ones you can't. Don't let the army of Qi get a single piece of grain."

As soon as Boren heard it, he immediately understood, cupped his fists to accept the order, and then ordered five thousand cavalry, and galloped away towards the distance.

Then Meng Di deliberately slowed down to let Gao Zhang's army continue to move forward. Two days later, the two sides met face to face.

Looking at the Qi army from a distance, Meng Di knew that this time the battle was not easy to fight. This time the Qi army was divided into four divisions, every [-] chariots were divided into one division, one was the front army, and the rear three were tied together.

Looking at this formation, it is to prevent the cavalry from outflanking. Under such circumstances, there will be no benefit in fighting head-on. Naturally, Meng Di will not face it head-on. As soon as the Qi army set up a formation, he chose to withdraw.

When the Qi army was marching, Mengdi immediately divided his cavalry into several groups to harass. Both sides suffered losses when they came and went. In just two days, his men and horses had lost more than a hundred people.

This made Mengdi feel that the Qi army that came this time was quite elite, and the two sides were fighting and retreating, gradually approaching Dongyun. Seeing that the combat space of Mengdi's cavalry was further compressed, the morale of the Qi army was naturally high.

Gao Zhang was very satisfied with the current battle situation, and couldn't help but underestimate Meng Di. After all, he was just a young man with little experience in battle, and the combat method of cavalry had little advantage over chariots.

The only thing that can last is high mobility, but in frontal combat, the strength of the combat power is the key to the outcome of the war. What's the use of running fast?

Just when Gao Zhang was thinking about how to defeat Mengdi, at this moment, he saw a general with blood on his face, riding a horse, quickly approaching him, then got off the horse, and said with a look of grief and indignation .

"Report to Xiangguo, this time the grain and grass we escorted were intercepted by the Lu army, and the food they brought was burned by them. Please, Lord Xiangguo, send troops to rescue and collect it quickly. Otherwise, our army may have no food to use. .”
