Chapter Ninety-Seven: Never Know That You Have to Do It

Shi Zhuang is an extremely knowledgeable person.

It seems to be chatting and gossiping with Li Ze unintentionally, but he is intentionally or unintentionally talking to Li Ze about some essentials of leading troops to fight. He now saw clearly the strengths and weaknesses of the little boy he served. Li Ze's control of the form, the formulation of goals, and the framework of trend development are unparalleled. But when it comes to the details of the operation, it is not very bright. Strictly speaking, Li Ze's current situation is much more serious than ignorance. Because he is in a state of seeming to understand but not to understand, probably this is because he reads too many books and practices too little.

It can be called a model of paper talk.

Li Ze has also come to know this point at today's serious military meeting.

The conversation with Shi Zhuang made him understand that it is not a deep mountain and old forest that can be ambushed casually, the choice of terrain is very particular, not only to be able to hide people, but also to facilitate the initiation of the attack, otherwise your ambush is an ambush, but when you fight, the enemy is more conducive to opening up, and you belong to yourself to find death. What's more, now that Li Ze has a team of 3,000 people, this place is even more difficult to find.

As long as it is a regular army, then in the process of marching, it must be divided into three parts: outpost, middle army, and broken back, and it is essential to explore the scout, you want to hide in a corner and wait for others to come to you and then you suddenly jump out to cut people, don't think about it, this is a street hooligan fight, fighting with the regular army, you cut a few scouts on the head, and you may not be able to hack to death.

The scope of scouts is large, and it is basically impossible to wait for a rain of arrows in a certain place, and the range of bows and arrows can mostly have huge lethality within tens of meters, like Chen Changping's strong bow that can cause great damage to the enemy beyond one hundred and fifty steps, looking at Chengde, few people can pull it, and if it can be pulled, it may not be accurate.

Although Li Ze has a huge advantage in numbers, if the two sides clearly set up a frame and start fighting, he really can't take any advantage, Tu Lichun and Shi Zhuang and those guard leaders have a clear understanding of this. There are 400 people on the other side, all of whom are wearing armor, and there is no comparison in terms of armament.

Therefore, in this battle, it is necessary to encircle the enemy in a specific place to fight, gather their own forces as much as possible, and limit the enemy's exertions.

Baizhang Rock is undoubtedly the most suitable place.

Considering that after going out of the mountain, they will have to rush forward non-stop and raid all the way, and then they will have to fight with the enemy, so in this relatively wide and living water source of the territory, they must rest and accumulate physical strength.

For them, the most dangerous and complicated sections have already been walked, and when they get here, they will inevitably relax their minds when they see the terrain here, and the scout's probing will not be too far, because this clearing is clear at a glance.

Listening to Shi Zhuang telling stories about these combat common senses to himself in combination with some actual cases, Li Ze nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and lamented in his heart, watching those movies and TV series in his last life, he was quite poisoned. Isn't it easy to set up an ambush? The enemy's specific plan was found, and then an ambush was laid on the enemy's marching route, and then when the time came, a loud roar of arrows rained down, and then everyone poured out, the enemy was in chaos, and our army won a great victory.

The premise for this is that the enemy's commander is a stupid guy! Not only that, but also those middle-level and low-level officers are all stupid, then this kind of ambush will probably work.

It was a shame to be around today, and Li Ze simply opened up and asked some more questions.

"Night raids?" Shi Zhuang chuckled and said, "Childe, I have fought many battles, sometimes under the command of others, sometimes by myself, but so far, there has not been a single night attack!" ”

"Why?" Li Ze was surprised.

"It's too hard!" Shi Zhuang replied very simply. "The first thing to say is that if it is a confrontation with a large army, the movement of troops and horses cannot be concealed from the enemy. Moreover, the sneak attack of a small army is also impossible to shake the overall situation for a well-trained army, even if it is successful for a while, but only according to the most conventional methods, the attacking enemy is basically a meat bun and a dog, and there is no return. ”

"Moreover, most of the soldiers nowadays have night blindness, and at night, when the lights are blind, they are like blind people, how can they fight? Surprise attack at night, no banner command in sight, no golden gong war drums, no command and communication between each other, completely relying on pre-war predictions and agreements, but what if there is an unexpected situation? ”

"Our people don't have night blindness!" Li Ze still knows something about night blindness.

"That's their luck, follow the son, food and clothing, life is very good, in fact, among the soldiers, the vast majority of people have night blindness, those young people in other places in Wuyi who just arrived today, there are definitely a lot of night blindness, if the son doesn't believe it, we can go out to test it now." Shi Zhuang said.

Li Ze shook his head: "Since you said yes, it is estimated that it will be almost the same." But I have seen so many classic examples of night raids in the book, how did they succeed? ”

"It is precisely because of the few that it has become a classic and has gone down in history." Shi Zhuang said: "This is not the conventional way of fighting in war, if Childe is more careful, he will find that whoever adopts this dangerous method of warfare is basically a kind of fighting style that the party that is at an absolute disadvantage has to do, and if it succeeds, it will go down in history, and if it fails, it will disappear, and Childe only sees those classic cases of success, but he does not see that behind this success, there are more countless cases of failure." Just like this time in our battle, it seems that we are outnumbered, but if we really go to the night raid as Childe said, I am sure that we will be the ones who lose. The difference between professional soldiers and amateur soldiers is that they are not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, and have extremely strong resilience. The soldiers of the secret camp can probably become such elite soldiers and strong generals in a battle, and as for the government soldiers, if they want to become such a team, it will take longer, in my opinion, when this army has fought many times and the personnel turnover reaches one-third, it almost has some characteristics of this kind of army. ”

"That's right." Li Ze was a little stunned.

"Childe, I, I hope that in this life I will not encounter a time when I need to fight like this, I prefer to crush the past with a strong posture and defeat the enemy face to face. This is the posture of the strong, the strong, there is no need for treacherous schemes, just need to push the past in a dignified manner. Shi Zhuang said with a smile.

Li Ze arched his hand and said sincerely: "I have been taught." I thought about the battle too simply, and I read all the books. ”

Shi Zhuang smiled and returned the salute: "Childe is extremely smart, but he hasn't gone through these things, and after a few experiences, he will naturally understand." Of course, military books are meant to be read, but reading military books is only to understand the principles and methods of war, and if you want to truly understand what war is all about, you must have personal experience. But this kind of thing, Gongzi doesn't have to care too much, the countless generals who are famous in history, they haven't even been on the battlefield, they just need to work out a war strategy, and the implementation is a matter for the ordinary generals below. And the most difficult thing is to formulate the right strategy. To tell the truth, the two armies face each other, and the essential gap between the soldiers on the two sides is not too big, and a large part of the factors that determine the outcome of the war are factors outside the battlefield. ”

Li Ze touched the black and bright hair on his head, and said with a smile: "I also know that I am very smart, but at the end of it, forget it, in the future, I will still concentrate on formulating the direction and scale of the war, and deciding who to fight, as for how to fight, then it doesn't matter, I only ask the result." Strive to be one of those famous generals who have never been on the battlefield but are famous in history. ”

Listening to Li Ze's witty words, Shi Zhuang couldn't help laughing.

Being able to correctly recognize his own shortcomings is what Shi Zhuang admires most about Li Ze. In fact, what generals are most afraid of is that the people above do not know how to pretend to understand, and they have to point fingers at everything, and there are many cases of making a mess of the good situation.

After a deep conversation with Shi Zhuang, it was late at night, and there was silence in the secret camp, and Li Ze's originally hot and restless heart calmed down. Things have come to this point, worrying is redundant, Shi Zhuang or Tu Lichun, they are all experienced people, the rest such as Shen Congxing, Chen Bing, Chu Sheng, that is also from the battlefield to come down from the rest of the life, although the Chen Changping brothers have no experience in commanding operations, but there is no lack of fighting skills, enough to be used as a charging guy, they have a geographical advantage, the number of people is six times that of the opponent, if such a battle is lost, then simply go back and roll up the cover, Take your mother Xia He all the way away, what are you talking about competing with Li Che.

As soon as he slept until he woke up naturally, he even missed the usual morning class, and hurriedly got up, the originally full secret camp already seemed empty, Tu Lichun, Shen Congxing and the others had already set off, leaving only Shi Zhuang and Chen Changping still waiting for him.

"Let's go." Li Ze, who had changed into a strong suit, said to the two. Shi Zhuang and Chen Changping both wore armor, but Li Ze did not, so far, he only had twenty pairs of iron armor from Yang Kai, of course, good steel had to be used on the blade, and Li Ze was not ready to personally carry the knife on the field, of course, he would not get a set of iron armor to put on himself.
