Chapter 282: Rivalry
As soon as Chen Qingzhi said this, several people looked at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi thought for a while and replied: "I thought General Chen's words were reasonable, but if the whole army was outside the city, it would not be convenient to move, it would be better to be half inside the city and half outside the city!" ”
"Against!" Hua Mulan immediately spoke up: "In that case, it won't turn our numerical advantage into a disadvantage!" ”
Liu Qi's face turned red, this is called the so-called seeing thousands of miles, not seeing the eyes, thinking about it, but he came up with such a bad idea.
Wei Qing suddenly smiled.
All the generals immediately stopped their voices and looked at Wei Qing in unison, there was respect, trust, and worship in their eyes, they knew that it didn't matter if their idea was right or wrong, good or bad, because with General Wei here, General Wei was the guarantee of victory.
Wei Qing looked at the generals and suddenly asked a strange question: "Why did they march like that!" ”
Several generals were stunned.
This question is indeed strange enough, but it is not strange, it is strange, because no one cares about how the enemy army marches, but General Wei does; It's not strange to say it, because the marching form of the Jin Army is really strange, and it really can't help but make people pay attention to it.
The method of marching, generally there is a vanguard in the front, there is a rear guard, there are guards on the left and right, and the outward is a swimming whistle that is deployed, and the main force is to line up in a column to move forward, and the march of the Jin army has not departed from this method, but this time, the Jin army is actually 40,000 people as a team, and advances in a wild goose formation, that is to say, the middle road is in front, and the two teams on the left and right are lined up in turn, all slightly staggered backwards Some distance.
"It's an attack formation!" Liu Qi was the first to react.
"Not bad!" Wei Qing said: "This is indeed an attack formation, so I want to ask everyone to think about it: why did the Jin Army launch an attack formation a hundred miles away from Lanzhou!" ”
The generals were speechless for a while, you look at me, I look at you, everyone doesn't understand the reason.
"I think it's Wanyan Yungong who is going crazy!" Mulan muttered in a low voice.
Wei Qing suddenly slapped his face: "General Shi is really right, but my statement is that he is not crazy, but arrogant!" ”
Wei Qing stood up suddenly, his eyes blazing: "He thought that he was leading 200,000 people, and he would scare us into not daring to fight, so he spread out his troops to his heart's content, demonstrating in this formation, yes, my Han army has not once defeated the 200,000 Jin army, and the most recent victory over hundreds of thousands of Jin troops still relied on them to kill each other, but never defeated does not mean that they can never be defeated, our army has its back to Lanzhou City, the number is more than the Jin army, and the generals have experienced a hundred battles, the morale of the soldiers is high, and there are magic weapons made according to Pang Tong's testament, On the contrary, the Jin army has been defeated again and again, on the time, on the location, on the people, we all have an advantage, so why should we consider defense, this battle, we have to attack against attack, with force, to beat their arrogance back! ”
"Well said!" Several generals shouted in unison, and everyone's faces shone brightly.
Oh, yes! Why do you have to want to defend, there are more people than the opponent, the combat effectiveness is stronger than the opponent, the geographical advantage is better than the opponent, so do you still have to defend?
Wei Qing's hand waved: "In this battle, we want to fight my Han Tianwei, we want to fight the military power of my left army, and we want to fight your generals!" He looked at the generals below and ordered loudly: "General Bai Buxin is my deputy, assist me in commanding the whole army, and lead 40,000 people to live in the middle of the road, and the four generals of Hua Mulan, Hua Mulan, Liu Qi, and Chen Qingzhi each lead about 40,000 people, one-on-one, each will have their own tricks, each drum up bravery, and defeat the enemy in front of you!" ”
"Order!" The generals agreed in unison, but at the same time looked at a person in the corner.
In the corner, there was a person standing, he was tall and dressed in military uniform, if it was placed in the past, Wei Qing's order actually didn't have his share, he would have yelled and yelled, but now, he stood in the corner with his head down, without saying a word.
This person is none other than Ma Chao.
It's not that he doesn't want to fight for merit, nor does he want to speak, but in his heart, in front of his eyes, has always been a bloody color, which was brought to death by him, and covered the blood of his soldiers with his life, he has no complaints about General Wei not assigning him the task, because he really feels that he is not worthy of being a general, not to mention being a general of Dingyuan, that is, being a general of Chang, a tooth general, and a staff general are not worthy, with his current level, it is almost the same to be a captain, and it is a little reluctant to be a captain, if he is a centurion, That's the limit of what he's capable of.
So he has been waiting, waiting for Wei Qing to finish the order, and now, he waited until Wei Qing finished the order, and immediately said: "General Wei, the last general wants to ask for an order to join the ranks of the middle lane vanguard, and the last general must run at the front of the army!" ”
Wei Qing's expression changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "General Ma, do you think our Han army lacks you as a vanguard soldier?" ”
Ma was embarrassed, his face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Wei Qing looked at Ma Chao, a trace of warmth appeared in his eyes, and he said slowly, but solemnly: "General Ma, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one general is hard to find, you made a mistake, yes, but who in the world will not make a mistake!" He suddenly reached out and picked up a stack of letter paper from the table: "Do you know what kind of paperwork these are!" ”
Ma Chao shook his head: "The last general doesn't know!" ”
"These are letters of intercession!" Wei Qing said: "They are all written by the soldiers, begging me not to punish you, these letters are written by the surviving soldiers of the thousand-man team you brought into the urn city, because they know that General Ma has always been a brave and good general who is good at judging things, and this time he just made a mistake!" ”
He unfolded one of the letters and read it slowly: "Hu Liuzi worships the Han Hussar General Wei Qing: Hu Liuzi's three brothers are in the same army, and the two brothers died in the previous battle of Wengcheng, but Hu Liuzi does not blame General Ma, everyone will make mistakes, do more mistakes, do less mistakes, don't do well, Hu Liuzi said earnestly,,,,,! A smile appeared on Wei Qing's face: "He wrote the invitation into a speech, and said that he wanted to implore me not to punish you!" ”
Tears suddenly welled up in Ma Chao's eyes.
"General Wei!" He said loudly: "The last general asks for orders, I don't know what task General Wei can assign to the last general, the last general will definitely complete it, if it doesn't work, the last general will send his own head!" ”
"I don't want your head!" Wei Qing replied solemnly: "You don't want Jin Jun to get your head, on the contrary, you have to send me more Jin Jun's head, Ma Chao obeys the order!" ”
"The last general!" Ma Chao's voice is full of perseverance and heroism.
"With you leading 40,000 cavalry, ambushing behind the middle route army, seeing me raise three red flags, you will lead the whole army to attack, and there are only three conditions under which you can stop the attack: first, there are no more enemy troops to kill, second, your whole army is killed, third, I order the troops to be collected, and in addition, the attack must not be stopped!"
"Order!" Ma Chao shouted his order, his eyes were shining, his face was heroic, and the fearless Ma Chao came back at this moment.
"Generals, hurry up and prepare, and in an hour, we will pull out!" Wei Qing's eyes fell on the map, on the map, between Lanzhou and Baiyin, a small county name was inconspicuous, but Wei Qing knew that soon, the name of this county would be known to the world, and his finger pointed to this small county: "It's here, Gaolan County, we are here waiting for the Jin Army to come!" ”
"Honorable Order!" The generals shouted in unison.
Wei Qing straightened up and stood straight like a javelin, and at this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be a general.
Gaolan County, for the Silk Road town, Longxi to rush, as early as four or five thousand years ago, there are ancestors here hunting, grazing pottery, multiply, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for the land of Qiangrong, Qin unified China after returning to Qin, because there is Gaolan Mountain in the territory and got the name, east of Baiyin County and Yuzhong County, south of Lanzhou, west of Yongdeng County, north of Jingtai County, the county seat is just ninety miles away from Lanzhou, Baiyin County, now, here is becoming the battlefield of 450,000 people of the Han and Jin armies.
Wei Qing has no tricks this time, and there are no tricks, since he can win with strength, why must he use strategies, all strategies have the possibility of being recognized, all strategies that are recognized will help the enemy instead of helping them, if you can win without a strategy, of course, it is the best result.
He rode a horse back and forth in this small Gaolan, patrolling the preparations of the Han army, only to see that not far away, the Yellow River was turbulent, passing through this small county, a small bridge was erected on the river, and the Han army was walking from this bridge in rows, to the other side of the river to set up a formation.
Wei Qing looked at the small bridge and was secretly frightened in his heart.
He had to say that he was a lucky man, when he decided to fight in Gaolan, he didn't know that there was only such a small bridge in this section of the Yellow River, he thought that there must be a lot of bridges here, but he never thought that when Yan Yong retreated, he burned all the bridges he could burn, this small bridge was too small and located in the middle of nowhere, so it was not discovered, and it was not burned, otherwise, the Han army was only afraid that it would have to confront the Jin army across the river, and what to talk about "Elikli", fortunately there is such a small bridge, and fortunately they arrived early, Otherwise, the whole army is half crossed, and the enemy army is so large, where can this small bridge afford the task of transporting a large number of troops.
His eyes looked under the bridge, and he saw that the bridge decks on the left and right sides of the bridge were placed on the bank, and in the middle were three large stones in the middle of the river.
Hua Mulan didn't know when she came to Wei Qing's side, and when she saw Wei Qing staring at the bridge, she said softly: "That's a stone camel!" ”
"What?" Wei Qing didn't understand.
"Stone camel!" Hua Mulan repeated again: "General Fang Cai Bai asked a few local elders to understand the situation in this area, and I listened to it on the side, they called the stone a stone camel!" ”
Wei Qing was talking, but saw a crowd gathering in front of a small temple not far in front of him, as if something had happened, this small temple was almost by the bridge, the bridge was not wide, and could only accommodate four people in parallel.
Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
