Chapter 277: Defeat is not in the army
On the mountains on both sides of the canyon, the Han army was crowded and spoke loudly. may be in controversy, why don't you go down the mountain to intercept the Qin army? If you don't go on, you'll miss the best time.
Under the command of Xiang Xiong, the military discipline of the Korean army was very strict, and the soldiers did not dare to go down without the orders of the leaders.
"What's going on? We just watched Qin Jun slip under our noses? What's going on? ”
"No matter! We lead the soldiers down, and if we don't go down, it'll be too late! ”
"Let's go! Let's go down! If you don't go down, it's too late! ”
"Let's go! If you don't go down, it's too late! The big deal is death! It's a big deal to be court-law-martialed! Such a great opportunity was missed, and there may never be one in the future! Walk! Follow me if you're not afraid of death! ”
"Let's go!"
Under the leadership of a few people, the soldiers of the Han army responded to the call, and they all shouted, ready to kill down the mountain.
"Who dares! Disobedient! Kill! ”
At this critical moment, a small boss stepped forward and stopped Dao.
"Who are you? You? Do you have a brain? If we don't go any further, we'll miss out on the best fighters! We should pull the soldiers to the foot of the mountain, and when General Xiang Xiong comes back, we can quickly rush over with an order! ”
"Who are you? Are you a hair? I'm telling you! What is the vocation of a soldier? A soldier's vocation is: to obey orders! General Xiang Xiong confessed when he was leaving, without his order, no one could leave the barracks for half a step! Disobedient! Kill! ”
Under the rebuke of this little leader, his soldiers drew their bows and arrows on the spot, as if they wanted to kill all the disobedient!
"You didn't see it? General Xiang Xiong, they seem to be trapped by the Qin army! He can't come back! A soldier shouted.
"Who is General Xiang Xiong? Can Qin Jun trap him? He must have done it on purpose! The little leader of the Han army argued.
He saw everything that happened down the mountain. But! Without General Xiang Xiong's order, where would he dare to lead his troops and horses down the mountain?
"Alas! We're the Korean Army! With these brainless little bosses, all that's left is to lose the battle! Someone sighed quietly when he saw that the little leader was so unenlightened.
Look at the appearance of that little leader, if anyone dares to leave the barracks and go down the mountain, he will kill you on the spot, saying that you disobeyed the military order!
The Korean army on the mountain, this happened in more than one place, but everywhere! The soldiers in the Korean army have always believed that if they don't go down the mountain to intercept the Qin army, the Qin army will only run out. But! Their small leaders, or the big leaders above the small leaders, just don't let them go down the mountain, don't let them leave the barracks.
If anyone dares to leave, they will be dealt with by military law and brought to justice on the spot.
And beside the small and big leaders, there are many soldiers who slap their horses and horses, as long as their masters speak, they will shoot arrows at their own people mercilessly, in order to correct military law.
Outcome! The internal contradictions of the South Korean army are on the verge of breaking out, and civil strife may occur at any time.
Peng Zhou ran back and forth on horseback, and saw that the Korean army on the mountain was moving, and they would rush down the mountain at any time, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it. As for what happened on the mountain, he didn't know. After all, the distance was too far to hear the quarrel between the soldiers of the Korean army.
The quarrel can be heard, but the content of the quarrel cannot be heard clearly.
His method is feasible, but if there is a useful figure on the side of the Han army who immediately leads the troops down the mountain to intercept it, then! The Qin army can break out of the checkpoint, but there is a tough battle, and many people will die.
But! It will definitely not be like Xiao Sima's previous times: a complete defeat.
Because! At his behalf, the cavalry had already transported the archers, shield bearers, and changge men to the mouth of the gorge. It has been arranged at the foot of the mountain, and once the Han army rushes down the mountain, it will be shot by the archers of the Qin army.
Peng Zhou's ideas and practices are feasible, but! The risk is too great.
It would be feasible to simply withdraw the combat troops from the gourd valley. But! The Qin army not only had combat troops, but also one-third of the baggage troops plus the wounded. The combat troops could be withdrawn, but the baggage troops and the wounded had no choice but to give up.
But Peng Zhou didn't want to give up! If it can be saved, it will be saved, and as much as it can be withdrawn, it will be as much as it can be withdrawn. He learned this from Bai Qi.
Bai Qi's outstanding point in military talent is that he should give up. In modern language, it is to "lose the pawn and protect the car", and exchange small losses for big victories.
Fighting! Where will there be no death?
For example, last time! He threw away all the wounded and escaped with nearly two thousand able-bodied soldiers. From a human point of view, he is not doing this way. From the point of view of military and war studies, it is very wise.
He's a military talent, so! When looking at things and dealing with things, we should consider them from the perspective of military objectives and interests.
If you take care of the wounded, then! You will be destroyed. If you give up the wounded, you can win the battle.
What can be done? Now that you're a soldier, are you still afraid of death? Afraid! Don't be a soldier! Since you have come to be a soldier, you must be ready to die at any time.
But Peng Zhou saw that there was no movement on the mountain, so he had another plan: to bring out the baggage troops and the wounded as much as possible.
When he discussed with General Sima Xiao before, he did not say anything about giving up the baggage troops and the wounded. He didn't dare to say it! If he did, General Sima and others would not agree.
Let's not talk about it, when things get to that point, you'll naturally give up! Even if you don't give up, it's irretrievable. When the time comes! You can only give up automatically.
With the IQ of Xiao Sima and others, naturally they did not take these into account.
With the IQ of Xiao Sima and the others, they couldn't believe his arrangement and what he said! Not at the time? No one believed that he, Peng Zhou, would be able to defeat Xiang Xiong. No! It's a winning bear.
If Xiang Xiong can't be defeated, no one in the Qin army is Xiang Xiong's opponent, then! All plans are in vain. No! It's all nonsense.
After Xiang Xiong was defeated by Peng Zhou, he panicked, and the result! There was no reaction on the mountain for a long time. If Xiang Xiong runs back in time, then! The South Korean army will soon rush down the mountain. Outcome! Peng Zhou ran back and forth in the canyon before the Han army on the mountain moved. Look at it! It was Xiang Xiong who went up the mountain and ordered the Han army to go down the mountain to intercept it.
"Do the archers have special bows and arrows?" Peng Zhou returned to General Sima and asked.
"Yes!" General Sima agreed.
"Prepare me a special bow and baskets of special arrows!" Peng Zhou confessed.
"You?" General Sima asked puzzledly, "What do you want to do?" ”
"You don't care so much! I'm naturally useful! ”
Although General Sima didn't know what Peng Zhou wanted to do, he still ordered him to go down and let people do it.
Archers in the army, as a rule, were selected from the barracks. As an archer, you must not only have strong arms, but also good archery skills. Arrows with strong arm strength can shoot far, but! If the technique doesn't work, it's useless to shoot far.
So! The military generally made large bows for those with particularly strong arms and particularly good skills. Ordinary bows can shoot three or five hundred paces, and theirs can shoot eight hundred and one thousand paces. Such! can shoot enemy commanders from a distance.
Imagine! The commander of the other side is gone, how can this battle be fought? For example, now! Xiang Xiong is missing, and the Han army is leaderless! Otherwise! The Qin army and the Han army have already started fighting.
