Chapter 129: The Huge Camel
"Qi Camel" Qi Tingyi went to the Hujie Army to be the left wing colonel very sad (the capital school is the common name of the commander of the capital, which means the general of the commander of the capital). He will soon find out that the left compartment is the basic plate of Shangfeng Guo Shao, and the important positions have been changed, and Qi Camel will change the commander of the light pole as soon as he comes; The generals below only listen to Guo Shao, calling the relationship between brother and brother, and with the support of Guo Shao, the commander of the infantry army, it is strange that they can pay attention to "Qi Huo".
However, Guo Shao was afraid that after forcing the "Qi camel" to be in a hurry, he made a small report and sued him for pulling a small hill to form a party. So he told his generals many times, and strictly forbade the generals of the forbidden army to call him "lord".
But Guo Shao soon found himself overthinking.
As soon as Qi Tingyi came to the left chamber to report, he saw the atmosphere in the big tent, and without saying a word, he said, "Only Guo Dashuai is the first to look forward", and he has no position at all.
I saw that this man was tall and big, and he was taller and stronger than anyone else. The generals in the tent are all tall and fierce men, but they are not as good as Qi Huo...... For a while, Guo Shao remembered Shi Yanchao. But Qi Camel is completely different from Shi Yanchao, he has no murderous aura on him.
Shi Yanchao's one look can make people very stressed and unfriendly. Qi Camel's face and look are not scary at first glance.
Later, a general who knew Qi Tingyi joked in front of Guo Shao, and finally let him know the origin of the nickname "Qi Camel": it was originally called Qi Camel, and the sound of the last two words is the same, a little light, and later the generals often called Qi Camel.
The camel is taller than the horse, but it can't run fast or fierce, and it is just right for Qi Tingyi...... Because this guy is like a camel, taller than anyone else, and has a huge body, it's just useless. There is no strategy at all in fighting and doing things, and he is beaten by enemy soldiers or told to attack, and he is angry when he is in a hurry. It is also the duty of being a person, and if you don't fight with anyone, you want to escape and forbear. Perhaps, rare confusion is also a kind of wisdom.
……
The siege began gradually, but Guo Shao did not order the army to attack, but instead defended the city to repair the fortifications and smashed the walls with a catapult. He also ordered the village soldiers to push the ditches and earth rammed walls to the moat, and carry earth and stones to fill the moat.
This time the siege can't be used, because Li Gu can't get so much saltpeter for a while; What's more, there must be an embankment in Haozhou this time, I'm afraid it's not good.
Outside the city, the harvested crops were trampled into solid land, some houses were demolished, and countless siege machines "chirped". Guo Shao rode around the city wall to inspect everywhere.
After the capture of Shouzhou, the emperor seemed to think that Guo Shao was a professional besieger, and let him go as soon as the city was attacked. In fact, Guo Shao wanted to say: The last thing I want to do is to siege the city.
There was a lot of noise on the battlefield. A group of people rode to the east of the city, Guo Shao suddenly found that the military flag planted had the word "Lu", so he looked at it carefully, and sure enough, there was a flag on the city tower that read: Haozhou Xingying Supervisor Army Envoy Lu.
Guo Shao turned back to Li Chuyun and said: "According to Zhou Duanyan, Lu Mengjun is not popular with the military. Our army broke through the city, and this is the breakthrough! ”
The general said: "I heard that Lu Mengjun is still very fierce in battle. ”
Guo Shao said with a smile: "What do you think will happen to the ruffians who fight fiercely and bully the weak on the streets, let them go to the battle array to take their lives and exchange the lives of their opponents for their lives?" ”
The ministry could not answer, nor did he understand what Guo Shao was saying.
After a circle, they made a detour back to the Chinese army. At this time, I suddenly heard the news: Han Tong broke the Southern Tang Navy Division in the north of the city and burned more than 70 warships!
The generals heard the news and gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army one after another, vying to celebrate. Qi Camel and Han Tong's successive battles outside Haozhou City have gradually cleared the enemy on the periphery of the city.
saw Guo Shao sitting on the top seat, silent. Everyone was amazed and hurriedly asked why...... Could it be that Han Tong won, and Guo Dashuai is not happy? I haven't heard of any festivals between Guo Shao and Han Tong. But that Han Tong is really difficult to get along with, known as "Han Eye", with a bad temper and a straight temperament, who said that he was offended, that is simply a normal thing.
"Send someone to congratulate Han Tong first." Guo Shaodao, stood up and said, "You are free to celebrate, don't worry about me." Let me think about it. ”
Guo Shao lowered his head and pondered something, and paced out of the tent. After a while, he suddenly turned around and said, "Fetch the bow and arrows!" ”
When the generals saw that he suddenly had Yaxing, they went out of their tents to see him shoot arrows. There was just a row of straw man plank arrow targets for practice outside the Chinese army, Guo Shao took the bow and arrow, and looked at a pair of targets a hundred steps away.
"A while ago, I told you that the best thing I am at is archery. It's a lie, look at how I hit a target a hundred paces away. Guo Shao said.
He drew his bow, and suddenly lowered it again. When he turned around and saw that everyone was confused, he stretched out his hand and went to the air to test the wind, and said, "Wait, the wind is not in the right direction." ”
Li Chuyun is also good at shooting, and after hearing this, he echoed: "A hundred steps away can usually only be thrown, and it is not easy to shoot." The farther the distance, the more important the wind direction is, and archery really depends on the wind...... Tailwind is best. ”
Guo Shao said indifferently: "The northwest mudflats won a big victory, and today Hantong burned more than 70 warships of the Southern ** Naval Division, and the wind direction is very smooth. ”
The crowd listened thoughtfully.
At this time, Guo Shao pulled the bowstring again, aiming at the bullseye and insisting in mid-air. "Smack!" Suddenly, a string sounded, and when everyone looked up, they really hit the bull's-eye a hundred steps away!
Everyone applauded, and Guo Shao also smiled: "There has been less practice during this time, and the archery has not been dropped." ”
Of course, it is not easy to shoot an arrow on the battlefield than to shoot a target, if the opponent is wearing thick armor and is far away, what damage can an arrow be done at him?
Guo Shao closed his eyes slightly, remembering the arrow that made him famous in the first place, shooting Zhang Yuanhui, the first fierce general of the Northern Han Dynasty! I'm afraid that incident will be hard to forget in this life, just like first love, every trace of memory is hidden in the bottom of my heart. In the chaotic battle array, at that moment, I actually found the perfection of feeling.
Follow the wind, feel the ups and downs of your opponents, and find the position where you can kill with one hit. At some point, the opportunity is fleeting, and you must use all your strength to let go of the bowstring without hesitation! If you miss it once, you may never find that time again.
The direction of the wind is the general trend, and those who go along with it prosper and those who go against it die! Haozhou ** has been defeated again and again, this is the general trend.
The target, which is the opponent's weakness and weakness, may be small, but only by shooting from there will it not shoot into the thick armor. Lu Mengjun, this person is the weakness of Haozhou.
The strength must be enough, if you shoot and don't die, will he let you shoot a second arrow? Guo Shao felt that he had to attack suddenly, and in the first wave, he had to use all his strength and a sharp knife, and he must not fall into attrition and give the opponent a chance to recover his senses.
"Three days later, the whole front will be attacked, and the general attack will be on Haozhou!" Guo Shao turned his head and said categorically.
Everyone was stunned, but no one made an opinion. The left wing of the Hujie Army has been shuffled, and no one among the upper generals will oppose it for the sake of opposition, unless someone makes a statement...... But Guo Shao's tone was not asking anyone, but deciding, and his words were meaningless.
Maybe some generals will feel a little hasty in their hearts, because Haozhou has not really attacked the city, and they will attack it as soon as they come?
But Guo Shao doesn't feel that he is sloppy, of course he is not thoughtful, he only trusts his intuition!
Guo Shao will never forget what the martial arts sect leader said: Thinking too much is not necessarily a good thing. Although this sentence is not said to "him", it is just a memory; But Guo Shao remembers this very well.
It was many years ago, in the Fu family's palace, there was a head teacher to teach archery. Guo Shao has practiced archery since he was a child, but he can't do archery; Seeing that he had a good foundation and was willing to work hard, the head of the sect gave a lot of advice, one of which was: Thinking too much is not necessarily a good thing. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Guo Shao has kept this sentence in his heart for many years. Indeed, sometimes if you think too much, it is easy to look ahead and shrink back, and you are not willing to take the initiative to take risks, but you don't play well.
If you think too much, can Guo Shao make an easy decision today? He will be crushed by a lot of psychological pressure...... Who can afford to lose when it comes to losing a battle? The opponent Chai Kehong can't afford to lose, and Guo Shao can't afford to lose.
With this foundation, there is a big gap between winning and losing. If he wins, all kinds of opportunities, including marriage, will further expand his strength. If you lose, you will lose more.
So just don't think about it! He's just trying to do his best, and he just thinks it's the best thing to do. As for the result, what to do with too much thought?
Three days, enough time to prepare for the attack. including the Emperor of Shang, and the liaison Gao Huaide; and the convening department will assign tasks and draw lots.
……
Guo Shao woke up early, before dawn, but his sleepiness disappeared.
Outside the tent was silent, and the light of a campfire flickered through the gaps between the tarpaulins. The oil lamps in the tent were blown on and off by the wind, and the light was not as bright as in the field, and the surroundings were gloomy.
The soldiers were still asleep, and even the men who got up first to prepare the meal were still sleeping. I don't know how many days it is.
Guo Shao felt that his psychological quality was actually not very good, and his composure was pretended many times, and he couldn't sleep well whenever it was very important. This situation has occurred in his previous life, on the eve of the college entrance examination, he once had insomnia, and he could only sleep half a night.
He simply crawled up, and goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body. The festival has entered winter, not to mention that it is still very cold in the early morning. He found a coat to wrap around his body, and sat quietly by the bedside to adjust his breathing.
After closing his eyes for a while, he still didn't feel sleepy at all. When Guo Shao opened his eyes, suddenly a "tiger" suddenly appeared in front of him, it was a new military flag of the Tiger Jie Army. Originally, the embroidery didn't look very similar, but when the light was blurred, it looked like there was a tiger!
"Whew!" Suddenly, I remembered the roar of a tiger's very intimidating and offensive demonstration.
Guo Shao's round eyes stared at the tiger, imagining himself to be it in his heart! A ferocious beast, full of anger and murderous aura, in this world full of killing and violence, he is a tiger, not a camel, and will make his opponent fearful!
I've found my best and every decision is absolutely right!
