Chapter 305: Calling the Formation
On that day, the mighty Wuhuan army chose to rest, and the next day they still had no intention of attacking the city, they hurriedly buried some corpses outside the camp, the Han soldiers on the city wall saw the Han prisoners of war burying the corpses, knowing that they were burying other prisoners of war, they gritted their teeth, and the generals even asked for battle to kill the enemy.
Since ancient times, defending the city has been the best way to fight with casualty ratio, and what Wuhuan is best at is field warfare, how can Zhang Xiaowu attack the other's strengths with his own shortcomings, and naturally he does not allow the generals to ask for battle. Looking at the snowflakes slowly falling, Zhang Xiaowu said to Xiao Kai: "The colder the weather, the more favorable the situation is for us. ”
"This year's weather is abnormal, since last year, the weather has been getting colder and colder, and the summer has been getting shorter and shorter. ”
Zhang Xiaowu frowned and said: "When you say that, I also realize that maybe these two years are special." ”
Wu Song said: "In the history book "Zhou Ji" once recorded that there was a great change in climate in the ancient Zhou Dynasty, 30 years of drought, the Central Plains almost thousands of miles of uninhabited, the people have fled to the south, and the Han people in the Lingnan area today fled from the Central Plains at that time. Now that the weather has suddenly fallen cold, I fear a repeat of the drought thousands of years ago. ”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly: "It won't be so unlucky, right?" But it happened in the age of our life? ”
That night, the scouts reported that there was not much water left in the lake outside the city, and Zhang Xiaowu was even calmer after receiving the news, the hundreds of thousands of troops could not eat every day, but if they did not drink water, how could they have combat effectiveness.
The two armies fought, Wu Huan held heavy troops but did not make a single blow, this kind of suicidal attack made everyone in Mucheng even more confused but secretly happy, but some generals guessed that the other party was waiting for the arrival of the stone artillery team. Intimidated by the power of the stone cannon, Zhang Xiaowu ordered to prepare to seal the four gates and fill the city gates with sand and soil, so that the city gates would not be broken by the Wuhuan people.
On the third day, the Wuhuan people actually marched slowly in formation, and the ghost guards of Mucheng were waiting for them, and when the Wuhuan people approached a thousand steps, they saw the Wuhuan people stop. I saw a young general rushing out of the Wuhuan array, riding a horse and galloping to the foot of the wooden city, Xiao Kai didn't need everyone to release arrows, only to see that the Wuhuan general suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Han dog coward, dare to call a battle with my Wuhuan warriors?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu was a little confused, what are they doing, calling the formation? The Wuhuan people are actually calling for battle?
Everyone also looked at Zhang Xiaowu with a smile, because this battle has disappeared for a hundred years, since the establishment of the Holy Han Empire, large-scale group operations, have long given up the way of fighting soldiers against generals and generals, and calling for formations only exists in history and historical stories.
Not to mention that Zhang Xiaowu has never seen a call formation, even Hu Sanwan, who has been in the army for the longest time, is also confused, he said: "I have been in the army for more than 20 years, and I have never seen anyone call a formation." ”
The so-called tactics of calling the battle mostly occurred during the warlord melee or the period when the heroes fought for hegemony, that is, many generals led the militia to fight, because most of the militia were captured Ding Hu, the morale was low, and the combat effectiveness was extremely poor, and they could only win the battle but could not defeat the battle, so there were generals who led the army to fight alone. After the generals go head-to-head, the morale of the winning side is high to cover up the past, and the losing side flees or surrenders on the spot when they see the situation, so the battle method of calling the battle is the strategy with the least loss, and it is also the most helpless battle method during the warlord melee period.
The soldiers of the Holy Han Empire are all professional soldiers, and after many days of training, they cooperate with each other to cover up the advance and retreat, where will there be a need for combat methods. Even Li Cunyi, who is the number one in the world, does not dare to take the head of the enemy general in the army of a person in a suicidal combat style.
Therefore, the Wuhuan people called for a heads-up, and the result was that all the Shenghan soldiers and monks were confused - were they from five hundred years ago?
"Han dog! Can I fight? The young general yelled again.
Hu Li stood at the entrance of the city and scolded: "That vicious dog, dare to bark and bark!" If you don't dare to attack the city, you can still defraud the city gate here, and the three-year-old child's IQ also dares to call the battle, go home and nurse the child. The generals laughed, and Hu Li could say this, and no one could be so insulting.
The young general Wuhuan was not angry, he sneered, pointed to the holy Han generals on the city tower, and said: "I know that you Han dogs have no species, you dare not go out of the city to pick a battle, and those who are as timid as rats still dare to call themselves sergeants?" I don't have to nurse the child, and when I go to Mucheng in the future, I will use Er's wife to nurse the child. ”
Everyone was so angry that they met a Wuhuan man who spoke Chinese more than the Han people, it was really strange that there were many years and years, Hu Li was about to scold back, Zhang Xiaowu stopped him, and said with a smile: "Since he wants to call the formation, we will play with him." ”
Hu Licai said: "The indicators, you can only sharpen your tongue, don't you dare to challenge me as a saint?" We have mercy on you who have come all the way here to give away people's heads. Since you don't know what to do and deliberately send you to death, the masters will follow your wishes and let you die in the north. I'm afraid that your wife at home will become someone else's wife, and your baby will become someone else's baby, and your father and mother will hang themselves and chase you because you died in a foreign land. ”
The young general was angry, because he had just recently learned the news that his new wife was cheating with someone else and was discovered by his father, according to the tradition of Wuhuan, his family could execute his unfaithful wife, but his wife's family was strong, but he snatched his unfaithful wife. This Hu Li actually injured someone's sore feet, no wonder the Wuhuan junior was angry, he picked up a sharp spear and shouted: "Han dog, suffer death!" ”
Zhang Xiaowu became more and more strange, Wuhuan more than 100,000 people, categorically would not choose this most stupid method, could it be that there is something weird and conspiratorial?
Zugong Mao, who had the most irritable temper, jumped out and said, "General, let me fight." ”
Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said, "No, no, Hu Li, you go and ask him, why did you call the battle?" ”
Hu Li asked loudly: "Inu Yi boy, why are you in a hurry to die?" Could it be that he is terminally ill, or is his wife stealing people? ”
The young general Wuhuan was angry for a long time before he regained his composure, and said: "The king of my family said that the Han dog is timid and does not dare to take the battle. But if you dare to take a position, our two armies can make a bet. ”
Hu Li asked, "What bet?" What are your tricks? ”
General Wuhuan said: "My two armies single-handedly take on the generals, each send seven people, and the best-of-seven system is best-of-seven, do you dare to do it?" ”
Hu Liqi said: "What is the gambling contract? ”
The Wuhuan junior general said again: "If you Han Dog wins, my Wuhuan withdraws the army and releases 10,000 Jincheng prisoners of war, if my Wuhuan wins, you will return the Tartar Khan's Jin Jia and Ligaotu's head." If you don't accept this gambling contract, I, Wuhuan will slaughter 10,000 prisoners of war in front of the battle, and see how you will explain to the court and the people of the Central Plains. ”
