Chapter 421: New Tactics (2)
It took two consecutive falls to get a trace of inspiration, how could Wang Lixin make it not work at all? So when I was eating, I always wondered where I could get more round stones, or what could be used as a substitute. ?? w?w?w?.? r?an?wenA'comWhen he was drinking soup, Wang Lixin thought of a reluctant solution, and there were many stones on the bank of the river.
It didn't take long for the meal to be finished, and Wang Lixin immediately came to Shi Bin to put forward his 'big plan' to break the yuan.
Wang Lixin still had some ideas, Shi Bin said secretly, so he smiled at him. But a very real problem was immediately raised: there are only a few rivers in Henan and Jingdong Road, and the supply of round stones in most areas cannot be guaranteed. It is impossible to pull the stones from the riverbank back to their respective villages and towns in one cart, which is ridiculous, conspicuous and more than worth the cost.
In order not to discourage Wang Lixin's 'anti-Yuan enthusiasm', Shi Bin decided to continue to support his proposal, so he comforted: "Lord Wang has a lot of ideas, but I haven't come up with this idea. You must not be frustrated, everything cannot be achieved overnight, you must think more and think. My idea is that since I can't find so many round stones, I should find something to replace them, what do you think? ”
He was glad that Shi Bin did not completely dismiss his proposal, and Wang Li was a little grateful in his confidence. But how can hard alternatives be so easy to find? So after hastily expressing his gratitude to Shi Bin, Wang Lixin lowered his head and thought again.
Since he supports Wang Lixin, Shi Bin does not plan to find another way, but thinks in the same direction as him, hoping to find an easily accessible and inexpensive alternative.
However, Shi Bin will not sit in a corner stupidly like Wang Lixin and conduct rigorous logical reasoning, but walks around according to his own habits, hoping that a fresh breeze will bring him a hint of inspiration.
It's a pity that it's already autumn, and it's too hot and dry at this time, and the breeze is sweating profusely without looking forward to it. This situation made Shi Bin feel a little disappointed, so in order not to look too embarrassed, Shi Bin simply moved a stool, took a fan and sat aside to rest.
It didn't take long to rest before I heard someone scolding and saying, "You brute, you are really a good life, you eat better than us!" ”
Such a brainless sentence made Shi Bin a little curious, what beast eats better than a human? He was about to get up and ask the scolding soldier when he heard a neighing horse.
Do horses eat better than people? Isn't this a waste of food? Subconsciously thinking that this must be some generals who love their mounts and do this lack of morality, Shi Bin immediately came to the fire and decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Just when I stood up, I heard the soldier sigh and say, "Hey, there is no way. Who told you to grow fat, if you don't grow fat, you can't run far and run fast? If there is a next life, I will be a good horse. ”
After a long time, the soldier was complaining, and Shi Bin was made to cry and laugh. I was secretly glad that I didn't act recklessly, so I didn't make a big joke. However, Shi Bin still wanted to know what the horse ate to gain weight so quickly, and that food obviously even people wanted to eat. So he followed the voice and walked over.
When they all arrived at Ma Peng's side, the soldier was still complaining intermittently, completely unaware that Shi Bin was coming.
Shi Bin didn't come to reprimand the soldier, so he let him complain, and he looked at the things in the dustpan in the soldier's hand. This time, Shi Bin understood why the soldier said, 'If there is a next life, I will be a good horse', because it is full of good soybeans.
Now that the war is raging, the soldiers are only mixed up for two meals a day, but the military horses can eat a few catties of good soybeans a day, and it is strange that the soldiers who feed the horses do not complain.
Looking at these beans, Shi Bin suddenly had some thoughts, so he coughed twice deliberately.
Hearing someone coughing, the soldier immediately stopped complaining and turned his head to look at the person who was coughing. As soon as he saw that it was Shi Bin, the soldier immediately pleaded guilty. The dustpan in his hand accidentally fell to the ground, and the soybeans were scattered on the ground. Seeing this, the soldier knelt down and kowtowed.
No matter how the soldier kowtowed, Shi Bin picked up a few soybeans on the ground and looked at them. I pinched it and found that it was quite hard, and asked, "Don't kowtow, get up and talk." Does this horse eat soybeans every day? ”
"If you go back to adults, you don't have to use ordinary horses. But military horses must eat a few catties of good soybeans every day. Otherwise, you won't get fat, and you won't be able to run far or fast without fat. ”
"This bean is cooked."
"It's cooked."
Now I didn't come to ask about the experience of horse breeding, Shi Bin quickly turned to the topic: how hard are soybeans.
There was some surprise that Shi Bin asked about the soybeans how hard they were soft and hard, instead of asking how to raise good military horses, but the soldier didn't dare to say much, and replied directly: "My lord, the soybeans are very hard, and they may not be able to soak them in water for three or four hours." ”
With these words, Shi Bin had a bottom in his heart, praised the soldier with a smile, turned around and went to the place where Wang Lixin stayed.
Seeing Shi Bin's smile, Wang Lixin knew that he probably had some good ideas, so he asked, "Lord Shi is so happy, but what good way can you think of?" ”
"It's not a good idea." He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "But it should be useful." ”
I was a little unaccustomed to Shi Bin's tone, and I was too unconfident. But since it would be useful, Wang Lixin certainly wanted to know, so he asked Shi Bin to say it as soon as possible so that he would know.
"I just went to the stable. I saw a soldier feeding the horses with soybeans. The beans were ripe, but still very hard. It seems to have been soaked for a long time before. ”
"Master Shi wants to replace those round stones with soybeans?" Wang Lixin looked at Shi Bin like a monster.
Knowing that Wang Lixin would react like this, Shi Bin also behaved very reservedly, just nodding slightly.
"No, absolutely not!" Seeing Shi Bin nodding, Wang Lixin roared loudly like an erupting volcano, "Lord Shi, although you haven't read much, you should know how to save food, how can you want to use soybeans to trap horses?" ”
Of course, he couldn't be blocked back by Wang Lixin's few words, not to mention that his thoughts were still very reasonable, so he said: "Lord Wang, is it wrong to spend some soybeans to save more people?" You"
Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted. I only heard Wang Lixin say: "Lord Shi, every grain of rice is precious in troubled times now, and I will never agree to your approach!" ”
"You see if this will work, these soybeans are not collected but bought, and after the war, the court will be asked to return them to the people." Shi Bin took a step back.
"Lord Shi, your method is certainly feasible. However, I can't agree to either solicit or buy. Wang Lixin did not waver, "I, Wang Lixin, will never allow a grain of grain to be wasted!" ”
Diehard! Shi Bin scolded Wang Lixin in his heart for being extremely stupid, and he couldn't calculate such a simple account. It's right to spend some grain to save more lives, but a few more grains of grain people die, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
Too lazy to talk to this stubborn guy, Shi Bin left in a fit of rage.
Seeing Shi Bin's angry appearance, Xu Feng knew that something was wrong, so he naturally quickly followed to be a firefighter.
"My lord, why are you so angry, could it be that you fell out with Lord Wang?"
"Not really. But he's a stupid pig who doesn't know how to be flexible at all, and it's really impossible not to be angry! ”
"Don't know how to be flexible? Lord Wang is like that, please don't care, it's not good to be angry. Xu Feng said, "I want to ask why you were so happy before, and why didn't Lord Wang change?" ”
"I went to the horse shed before and found that I fed the military horses with good soybeans, and the beans were very hard, wouldn't this just replace those round stones to deal with the Yuan cavalry? As a result, Wang Lixin told me that he couldn't waste a grain of grain, and even if I said that I would return all the collected grain at that time, he refused to support it. ”
"I see." When Xu Feng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "My lord, you are really full and don't know that hungry men are hungry, and you actually want to use soybeans as a tool to trap horses." This method is lowly supported, but Lord Wang, who has read poetry and books, will never support it, even if you will return those soybeans later, he will not support it. ”
After thinking about Xu Feng's words, and recalling Wang Lixin's previous performance, Shi Bin had to agree with what Xu Feng said. But he would never give up such a good chance to kill an enemy because of a few beans. So he ordered Xu Feng to go and quietly get a hundred catties of beans first.
understands that Shi Bin is going to do a test to show Wang Lixin, and facts speak louder than words, so that Wang Lixin will no longer be stubborn and self-serving. Therefore, after Xu Feng received the order, he immediately went to carry it out.
It was not a raw robbery, but also gave an extra 10% of the money, and a hundred catties of beans were raised in one day.
"Xu Feng, how do you say we can test this tactic? The Yuan people come and go like the wind, and we can't tell which village or town they will go to next. ”
"My lord, this is not difficult. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult for the Yuan people to obtain grain and grass, so we just need to let out the wind, say that there is a lot of food in a place, and drive some carriages in and out to make a show, and we are not afraid that those Yuan people will not come to rob the grain. And the adults only need to take their men and wait for the rabbit there. ”
It's a good idea, Shi Bin agreed with a smile. So he immediately let out the wind and said that Zhutai Town, Zibo, had hoarded 2,000 stones of grain and grass to support Wang Lixin to exterminate the Yuan people. Due to the urgency of the matter, there were not many guards transporting grain, only about 100 people, and most of them were van soldiers.
As we all know, the Xiang army of the Song Dynasty was a group of peasants with weapons, and their combat effectiveness was not even as good as that of bandits. Although the Yuan people who knew the news were a little suspicious, they still didn't hold back, and united three teams with a total of more than 400 people to come to grab food.
Shi Bin was ecstatic when he saw this, but he also regretted very much that he didn't collect more soybeans, a hundred catties seemed to be a little less, and there was not much room for it. In order not to lose too much, Shi Bin only laid fifty catties at the gate of the town. However, this was an experiment, and Shi Bin was not much unhappy, and immediately sent his firearms to stop other places, so that the Yuan people could only attack from the front.
In order to obtain grain and grass, the Yuan people, who did not know the true situation of the Song army, frantically stormed the town gate regardless of casualties. And so the show begins.
At least three of the ten cavalrymen who charged were trampled to death by their own horses because their horses slipped and fell off their horses. This situation made Shi Bin and his subordinates very happy, and they killed at least twenty Yuan cavalry with only fifty catties of soybeans, which was too cost-effective.
However, after impacting back and forth a few times, the soybeans thrown to the ground were also crushed a lot, and it didn't take long for the ability to block the cavalry. When the Yuan people thought that the Song people did not have much resistance to attack again, another fifty catties of soybeans fell from the sky.
This also caused many Yuan cavalry to fall off their horses and be trampled to death by their own mounts, so the people of the Yuan people were afraid that the soybeans on the ground were attached to witchcraft, and they did not dare to attack and could only retreat in a hurry.
After the battle, Shi Bin took Wang Lixin to see the results of the battle on the grounds of accepting grain and grass.
Seeing the broken soybeans all over the ground and the Yuan people lying on the soybeans who were obviously trampled to death, Wang Lixin was speechless for a long time.
Shi Bin didn't like this expression very much, in order to prevent a gap between himself and Wang Lixin, Shi Bin said: "Lord Wang, Shi Mou showed you these today, it doesn't mean that I support this method of warfare very much. Instead, I want to tell Mr. Wang that this is a good way to protect himself. If you don't have enough weapons, it's not bad to use this method of warfare as a backup. ”
Not very supportive? Reserve? These words made Wang Lixin a little more comfortable. looked up at Shi Bin and said, "Then please ask Lord Shi to keep his promise." This method can only be used as a backup, and must not be used as the mainstream. ”
"Of course. The mainstream should be the rejection of horse guns, traps, thistles and tripping horses. Soybeans are just the most helpless way. Shi Bin said with great certainty.
This time, Wang Lixin was completely relieved and comfortable.
The trap can be dug at any time, as much as you want. Horse rejection guns can also be done more. But how many more? Therefore, soybean tactics must be used and must be indispensable. However, in order to take care of Wang Lixin's emotions, Shi Bin didn't say anything thoroughly.
