Chapter 712: Fierce Battle
readx;
Soon, Li Zhongyi, who was in the command car, was keenly aware that there was an abnormal movement in the ranks of the coalition forces of various departments in the grassland. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info romance first published on the hunting network
After some careful observation, Li Zhongyi habitually touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the barbarians will still take the bait after all!" ”
He Dabei arched his hand and said with great admiration: "Lingshuai has seen thousands of miles, and he has long seen the minds of the barbarians, and he really admires it." ”
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, if it was a guy who often slapped sycophants on weekdays, he would definitely not feel anything.
However, He Dabei is a typical northwest man, with a straight temper and a fierce temperament, and he dared to slap the table and scold his mother in front of Li Zhongyi for a battle plan with different opinions.
Perhaps because of the lack of civilian officials around Li Zhongyi who have been reused, it is really difficult to find a person who is good at slapping horses in the Li family's army.
Of course, Li Zhongyi's moral requirements for his subordinates are actually not harsh.
As the saying goes, the wind knows the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers. If you don't go through the test of major changes until the critical moment, who can easily tell if you are loyal or treacherous?
Li Zhongyi himself is an old bureaucrat who has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he can see very clearly whether the generals are loyal or disloyal, and they will be put aside for the time being, and as long as they resolutely obey military orders and have the ability to win battles, they will all be rewarded for meritorious deeds, without exception.
Po Yong is the most vivid example, the alien identity of this party barbarian does not conform to Li Zhongyi's Han national concept at all. However, as long as he is brave enough to take the lead and swear to complete Li Zhongyi's military order, he will still be reused and promoted, and bring more soldiers and horses.
The fundamental reason why President Chang Kaishen, who had millions of troops, was eventually driven to a small island hanging overseas, is, in Li Zhongyi's view, that is, he does not know people, rewards and punishments are unfair, and nepotism is used.
The generals of the Huangpu department, for example, Sun Yuanliang, who fled for his life when he encountered a strong enemy without following the military order, and was beheaded, Li Tianxia, who was sentenced to death because of personal grudges, and so on, such immoral and incompetent people, have been repeatedly reused, how can they not chill the heart of the true soldiers who fought hard?
Cao Mengde was able to lay a huge foundation, in addition to the Ding Lizhi of the Cao family and the Xia Hou family, it was also inseparable from Cao A's eclectic use of people, and the reuse of talents and disloyalty.
Based on Li Zhongyi's experience in two lifetimes, he has always believed that people's hearts are fickle, and the so-called absolute loyalty is actually the most extravagant luxury in any society. Some are better, and there is no need to force them, as long as you do a good job of weighing and balancing, the rewards and punishments are clear, and you don't let one party dominate!
Yang Wushuang stared at He Dabei's face with some surprise, the always upright old He, what's wrong today?
After all, Zhu Niang is a personal person, she noticed that the corners of Li Zhongyi's mouth were slightly upturned, and she understood in her heart that her husband was very comfortable being slapped by He Dabei's sycophants.
After Li Zhongyi felt refreshed, he suddenly restrained his smile and asked He Dabei pointedly: "Say, in the Senate Division, who has made mistakes?" ”
He Dabei touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Just now, because of the absolutely opposite opinions, some people actually bet on each other's ladies who have not passed the door. ”
After Li Zhongyi heard this, he only felt that it was ridiculous, this is a problem!
No matter how strict the military regulations are, there will inevitably be omissions, such as what happens in front of you, and there are no provisions on the regulations at all.
Unless Li Zhongyi is idle, it is absolutely impossible to include this kind of private matter in the category of military regulations.
However, if Li Zhongyi does not intervene in such an extremely emotionally hurtful incident, it will inevitably cause serious consequences of bad official duties due to personal grudges, and Li Tianxia's failure to save Zhang Lingfu when she sees death is a clear example.
"Right Ting, what do you think about this matter?" Before Li Zhongyi expressed his position, he wanted to see He Dabei's opinion.
"Hui Lingshuai, if the bet is on their respective concubines, then there is no problem." He Dabei's answer made Li Zhongyi feel like he was suddenly separated from the world.
The wife can't be a bet, but the concubine can, which is completely in line with the rules of the Great Zhou court.
Zhou Cheng Tang system, Tang law has a clear provision: concubines are bought and sold. In other words, the status of a concubine is equivalent to that of a merchant's goods, and she can be left to the fault of the master's family.
Limited to the constraints of the concept of the times, and Li Zhongyi himself is lustful, so there is no prohibition on concubines in the regulations.
However, if his subordinates are allowed to bet on each other's women, Li Zhongyi, who is extremely conservative in this regard, will not be able to pass the hurdle in his heart no matter what.
"Neutralization, what do you think?" Li Zhongyi quietly cast his eyes on Yang Wushuang's face, wanting to see what this iceberg-like guy had to say about this matter?
"Returning to the hometown, the last general thinks that in addition to obeying orders as their duty, soldiers must also be honest, a spit and a nail, since they dare to bet heavily, they will have to suffer the corresponding consequences. Moreover, there is no need to intervene in the ordinance if there is no prohibition in the ordinance, and this so-called reward and punishment is well-founded! Yang Wushuang's attitude was beyond Li Zhongyi's expectations.
Nima, looking at this apricot's attitude, actually didn't have any opinion on the exchange of his wife.
Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized that it was not that He Dabei and Yang Wushuang's concepts were abnormal, but that his Li Zhongyi's modern thinking was too far ahead and did not conform to the mainstream customs of society.
In this era, it is not surprising that some gamblers lose their eyes and mortgage their eldest wife or Xing Po to creditors!
"Uh-huh, I think so, gambling on the wife's room is too hurtful, it's better to bet on a year's worth of money, the winner treats guests, and the loser accompanies guests to eat and drink!" Li Zhongyi thought about it, but in the end, he couldn't stand the vice of gambling with his wife, and took the initiative to intervene.
Since Li Zhongyi had spoken, He Dabei and Yang Wushuang, who were familiar with his temper, had no choice but to obey his orders.
The episode here has just ended, and the soldiers and horses of the various tribes of the grassland, according to the prior agreement of the king and the patriarchs, began to move frequently.
He Dabei carefully observed the movement of the grassland tribal army with a telescope, and couldn't help but remember, and sighed: "The degree of mobilization is too slow, and the lines between each other are also extremely loose. If our army was so slow, the officer in charge of the command would have been beaten a long time ago. ”
Yang Wushuang said coldly: "Large-scale corps operations, if there are no efficient command and dispatch means, will definitely delay the fighters. What's more, our army is not just at the beginning, and it can be like an arm. The first of the training rules is to sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. ”
Li Zhongyi glanced at Yang Wushuang, this guy who spoke very little suddenly turned into chatter today, which made him really difficult to adapt to for a while.
Zhu Niang stared at Yang Wushuang's face, this guy who doesn't say anything on weekdays, secretly patted his ass, and his level was more than a step higher than He Dabei.
Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that if Yang Wushuang was not for his high recognition, there would be no possibility of sycophancy.
It was not until half an hour later that the steppe cavalry gathered the necessary 20,000 men and horses, and they rushed towards the hillside where they were bravely stationed under the command of their respective leaders.
Li Zhongyi had been waiting for this moment for a long time, he narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "If you don't go on the right path, you have to take the evil road, hmph, death is coming!" ”
He Dabei and Yang Wushuang know Li Zhongyi's mind very well, if it weren't for the fact that there was a fierce Yelu Hugh next to him, Li Zhongyi would not have spent moxibustion machines to set up the group of grassland princes in front of him.
In the big camp on the hillside, Li Yong was waiting anxiously, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing around the camp, and the shouts were deafening.
"Haha, God has given me a military pot!" Li Yong rubbed his hands happily, and screamed again and again.
Yingzhen, who was sitting quietly reading a book, Fu Qian Shude, put down the book in his hand, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Lao Li, I finally let you look forward to it." ”
Li Yong smiled and said, "Fang Cai, aren't you also like me, like the one on the hot pot?" ”
Anxious like an ant on a hot pot, this is a witty sentence that Li Zhongyi said when he was teaching in person, Li Yong immediately remembered it, and often quoted it in front of his subordinates.
"Come on, pass on my military order, according to the deployment of the previous lord, everyone is in place, and prepare to serve a delicious feast to the grassland barbarians." Li Yong stomped his feet fiercely, the significance of this battle was very significant, and he had to do his best to complete the tactical tasks ordered by Li Zhongyi.
"Old Qian, we should be in place too, right?" Li Yong turned around and turned his head to look at Qian Shude.
Qian Shude nodded, handed the book in his hand to the tooth soldier with him, and walked out of the big tent that originally belonged to the Senate Department side by side with Li Yong.
After Li Yong and Qian Shude boarded the command car together, they appeared, and the grassland cavalry all over the mountains and fields rushed towards their camp fiercely like a tide.
"You go and tell Li 19 of the Guards that no matter how the defense is, it is under his command, if the thief army rushes into the camp, even if I let him go, the lord will definitely not be able to bypass him." Li Yong is very self-aware, and the cavalry battalion under his command may be good at charging into battle, but he is not good at defensive positional warfare.
It turned out that before Li Zhongyi left the hillside, he deliberately left most of the guards, so that they exchanged flags with the cavalry battalion, disguised themselves as cavalry, and stayed in the camp.
In this way, the guards around Li Zhongyi were actually the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion, and in order to disguise themselves more likely, the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion smeared their faces with loess.
Before Li Zhongyi took the initiative to attack, he had long expected that the patriarchs of the grassland would go to fight the idea of the logistics camp, so he made preparations in advance, so that the infantry troops who were good at defense would stay in the camp and wait for the enemy's attack while strengthening the fortifications.
In fact, according to Li Zhongyi's elimination of the 40,000 Khitan Palace divisions, the Senate has already concluded that in the face of a pure cavalry attack, the defensive front of the Li family's army actually does not need to be too thick.
With the Divine Arm Crossbow, which is a large-scale killing weapon, according to the requirements of the comprehensive defense and three-dimensional strike front, at most only one-third of the shield hands, one-third of the crossbowmen, and one-third of the pikemen and slingers are needed, which is enough to resist several times the cavalry siege.
Based on the full calculations of the Senate, including He Dabei and Yang Wushuang, they all believed that if the main attacking force did not have the cooperation of the cavalry, even if it won quickly, it would be difficult to expand the results of the battle, and thus fell into the embarrassing situation of being able to fight but unable to catch up.
Just now, when facing the attack and temptation of the tribal armies of the grassland, Li Zhongyi kept letting the cavalry dismount and rest, and did not expose his whereabouts.
Li Zhongyi did this for only one purpose, that is, to paralyze Lao Guning and make him mistakenly think that Li Zhongyi did not have mobile cavalry in his hands.
Li Shijiu, in fact, has now changed his name to Li Yunqing, the word is virtuous, and it is the name and expression given by Li Zhongyi.
Li Yunqing is currently the deputy commander of the Guards Inspection School, and his main responsibility is to assist Li Yunxiao and take full charge of the daily training work of the Guards.
Because it was an army that closely protected Li Zhongyi, the personnel establishment of the Guards was very different from that of ordinary field troops.
In the Guards, in addition to Li Yunxiao, there are three deputy commanders, who do not directly lead an army, but are respectively responsible for training operations, surveying and mapping, and logistical support according to different division of labor.
If there is a soldier of the republic, who also arrives in this era, he will definitely profoundly point out that the command structure of the Guards generally belongs to the category of plagiarism.
In the eyes of Li Zhongyi, a pragmatist who is a realistic person, the system that helps to improve combat quality is a good system, and vice versa is a bad system, nothing more.
Since the camp originally had complete fortifications, Li Yunqing did not hurry to order the crossbowmen and shield bearers to be in place.
After the conventional strike force was ready, Li Yunqing ordered people to carry the "cocktail" box prepared in advance to the catapult from the extremely well-defended Xi cart.
"Brothers, you have all practiced just now, and because of your condescending advantage, the maximum throw distance of the trebuchet is more than half of what you have in your daily training. Therefore, everyone must remember the coordinate scale. Li Yunqing has always been in charge of training and combat work in the Guards, and he can name every grassroots officer in the battalion, and his prestige is naturally not ordinarily high.
After the shieldmen, crossbowmen, and slingers were ready, Li Yunqing walked quickly behind the door flags in the front row.
With the help of the gap when the grassland tribesmen army did not pay attention to them just now, Li Yunqing led his subordinates to use sacks behind the door banner to build another earthen wall.
When Li Zhongyi was teaching in person, he once told his subordinates a real war case: the Israelis only relied on a not particularly high breastwork wall to defeat the tank units of the Arab coalition army.
Of course, the tank in the case was changed to a heavy cavalry by Li Zhongyi.
Li Yunqing felt very fresh at that time, and now, when he was condescending to defend against the cavalry attack, he immediately used what he had learned in today's actual combat.
Behind the breastwork, Li Yunqing arranged a low-pitched horse gun formation that had been verified in many battles and was very effective against cavalry.
Behind the gun array, there was a crossbow array with a broad waist and a round waist, followed by the position of trebuchets, and finally on the inner layer were the cavalry that Li Yong was preparing to serve as the general reserve.
The soldiers who had undergone strict training, like an atomic clock that had gone out of time, had made all preparations for war, and had just rested for less than half an hour when the cavalry of the steppe tribe army roared and rushed over.
"Kill, chop the Southern Barbarians"
"Yo ho ho"
"Southern barbarians, grandpa is here"
Li Yunqing kept holding a monocular, but he was strange to see, although the cavalry of the grassland coalition army shouted to kill, in fact, their charge was not fast.
What the hell is this? Li Yunqing stared at the tribal army in some confusion, the cavalry has always been a class of soldiers, such a slow impact, not to mention the rejection of the horse gun formation, even if it is that breast, it is likely to block the tribal army outside the camp.
The patriarch of the Murwei clan was violent, waving the steel knife in his hand and shouting loudly, while slowly retracting the reins of the horse, shouting to the warriors of his clan: "The bow and crossbow of the Southern Barbarians are powerful, everyone should not rush too fast, leave the credit to the Xi people." ”
Almost at the same time, the Yuwen patriarch of Xianbei in the east also loudly warned the warriors around him, "There are few people in our own clan, so don't be cannon fodder for the Xi people." ”
At this time, Li Zhongyi in the command car also had a problem, compared with Li Yunqing, who was not politically sensitive, he Li was a senior politician.
Li Zhongyi saw very clearly that the tribal armies that rushed to the front were almost all the military flags of the small tribes, while the military flags of the big tribes were all embroidered behind them without exception.
"Hehe, it's really unexpected, the war is already on the way, and the princes on the grassland actually played the trick of borrowing knives to kill people and drive tigers and wolves." Li Zhongyi swayed heavily, and his evaluation of Lao Guning in his heart fell by as much as seventy or eighty percent in an instant.
He Dabei had also seen the cattiness in the tribal army, and while he was playing with the monocular in his hand, he sighed heavily and said: "Lingshuai, a certain family has finally figured out why the Qin State finally destroyed the Six Kingdoms." ”
Yang Wushuang didn't want to speak at first, until Li Zhongyi's eyes fell on his face, and then he said like gold: "It must be a big victory!" ”
Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, the synthetic tactics of military thinking that he single-handedly created in this era will surely achieve brilliant results in future wars!
Li Zhongyi, who is familiar with history, is not a whitehead in his heart, and his synthetic phalanx is completely enough to kill the Macedonian phalanx or the Roman army that is touted as magical.
The Macedonian phalanx must be coordinated by cavalry to wield its greatest power, and although its frontal assault force is extremely strong, once the enemy attacks from the flank or from behind, this phalanx will inevitably fall into chaos and eventually collapse and fail.
The turtle shield array that the Romans relied on to win, when they met Li Jiajun, who had the same defensive power, plus a divine arm crossbow and a close-range hand-throwing "cocktail", they were destined to only have the ability to parry, but not the power to fight back.
The king of Xi couldn't help but be furious, and ordered someone to send an order to the violent bear: "If the battle is not advanced, the entire Murwei clan will probably cease to exist." ”
Storm Bear received Chi Guoguo's threat, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Southern Barbarians have a famous saying, the weak eat the strong, and sure enough, he is not wrong. ”
"Sons, even if it's for a show, let's rush up and fight it!" Storm Bear's heart knows very well that the Xi people are not so terrifying, but Lao Guning is not wrong, once the Xi people deliberately provoke the anger of the Khitans, the disaster of extermination will not be far away.
"Bullying dogs, Lao Tzu and you are not finished!" The violent bear scolded and scolded for a long time, and finally had to lead the warriors in his clan to rush to the camp of the southern barbarians on the hillside.
Li Yunqing was waiting a little impatiently, and the tribal army suddenly rushed up, he couldn't help rubbing his hands, and said with a smile: "It's finally here!" ”
"The crossbowmen all advanced behind the breastwork, ready for five strikes; The shieldmen are responsible for covering, and the slingers are not allowed to act rashly, and they act according to my orders. "Li Yunqing was originally an instructor of the Guards, and the robes were all old subordinates who had been training together for a long time, and they were easy to command, like a cloud of water in the same class.
Although he was forced to fight desperately, Storm Bear still had a bit of luck, in the army of the Southern Barbarians, it was impossible for everyone to be sharpshooters, as long as he made full use of the advantage of the cavalry's quick strike, he could break through the camp of the Southern Barbarians on the premise of reducing losses.
Although Lao Guning forced the Murowei tribe to work hard, it was also agreed in advance that the tribe that rushed into the camp of the Southern Barbarians first would get the largest piece of fat.
Therefore, the violent bear, who had studied the tactics of the southern barbarians, decided to give up the chicken-ribbed riding bow, and the method of using the right hand sword of the hand shield to minimize the loss and achieve a breakthrough.
However, when the Storm Bear led the warriors of the clan, as soon as he rushed up the hillside, he was given a head-on blow by a dense range of crossbow arrows.
"Ahh
"Alas, it hurts"
"The Law of Sighs"
Beside the violent bear, there was constantly the tragic sound of the crossbow arrows falling to the ground in the war horse and the arrows falling from the cavalry, but Lao Guning was behind him to supervise the battle, and at this moment, the violent bear could not care about so much.
"Raise the shield, raise the shield, protect the body and the war horse!" Storm Bear knew that his shout was of little use, but it was just a self-consolation nature, but he still wanted to share his strength for his people.
The size of the war horse far exceeded the range that the shield could cover, and the warriors of the steppe could protect their bodies, but they could not protect the horses.
Li Yunqing had already made an attempt to storm the bear, he couldn't help but smile coldly, and decisively ordered: "Order the crossbowmen, shoot a little slower, and put the Tartars closer." ”
According to Li Zhongyi's prior arrangement, once Li Yunqing's side released the "cocktail", it would be equivalent to a signal of a real general attack.
On the command car on the top of the hillside, Qian Shude glanced at Li Yong with some curiosity), the only party barbarian who received Li Zhongyi's surname and word, in today's defensive battle, he actually had the heart to completely let go of Li Yunqing to command, and he really wrote about him before.
