Although Qingping Pass is just a small pass, it can be as high as Tongyuan County, and the city is strong, a solid stone wall that is more than three zhang high and about 200 steps long intercepts the entire river valley. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the middle of the stone wall, there is a gate about ten steps long and wide, and when the enemy comes to attack, the two iron gates about a foot thick made of cast iron inside and outside are lowered, and the space in the middle is filled with mud and sand from the skylight above the gate, and the whole pass is completely isolated from the inside and outside as if there was no gate.

If the foreign enemy wants to break through the pass and enter the pass, there is no other way to force a siege vehicle or rope ladder to go up the pass from the outside.

When Yang Huairen and others arrived at Qingping Pass, the Jingsai army of Western Xia had already launched two attacks, but both ended in failure.

When a battalion commander saw that reinforcements had arrived, he immediately gave an order to Huang Dutou and demarcated an area on the wall to designate the defense area of his team.

This battalion officer knew Huang Dayin, the captain of the capital, but it was impossible to recognize every soldier under him, and he glanced at Yang Huairen and didn't find anything.

When Huang Dayin led everyone up the stone steps to the pass, the defenders of the three battalions guarding the pass were cleaning the wall and counting the casualties.

The bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle were collected and carried down from the wall, and the bodies of these fallen soldiers would be gathered together and buried after the battle.

The wounded soldier's wounds seemed to have been treated only temporarily, and they supported each other in pairs and struggled to retreat down from the wall.

Whenever the body of a fallen soldier was carried down on a stretcher by his companions, the other soldiers passing by naturally stopped, stood up straight and saluted their fallen comrades.

Yang Huairen and his party were still excited about the upcoming battlefield, but at this moment, everyone realized that the real war was not only the blood they imagined, but also the cruel and sad side.

Everyone turned around and leaned against the wall, flashed out of the road, their expressions naturally became serious, and they paid tribute to the body of the soldier who had just lost their lives from the bottom of their hearts.

There was no sorrow, no sorrow, the soldiers of the border army seemed to be accustomed to all this, and in their eyes there was another kind of enthusiasm, a desire for revenge.

Lan Ruoxin, who had been following Yang Huairen, grabbed his arm, and when he saw the bodies of one after another dead soldiers being carried down, he subconsciously grabbed it tighter.

There was a burst of pain in Yang Huairen's arm, but instead of screaming or shaking off Lan Ruoxin's hand that grabbed him, he felt a force coming from the depths of his body.

He understood in his heart why Lan Ruoxin had such a subconscious move, because she was afraid, and she was afraid that soon, Yang Huairen would also be carried down in this way.

This is something she can't accept, she has just strengthened her beliefs, and she is willing to give up everything she has, just to be with the man she likes, but right away, they are about to stand on the wall, standing on the edge of life and death.

Li Heiniu and the others were also silent, and everyone realized what they were about to face.

Huang Dayin led them to a section of the wall guarded by their team, which was the northwest corner of the entire section of the wall of Qingping Pass, and it seemed that the two battles that had just taken place in this area were not the most intense.

Looking down from the wall, twenty or thirty steps below the west wall is Xichuan, a tributary of the Huanjiang River, because the area under this section of the wall is relatively narrow, which is not conducive to the attacking Xia army to launch a formation attack, so this section is not the section they mainly attack.

Ke Xiaochuan looked around, as if he had found something, and came back and said to everyone, "It seems that the battalion officer did not arrange our team as the main force to defend the city." ”

Huang Dayin is experienced, in fact, he thought of this when the battalion officer assigned him a task, but he was still very satisfied with this arrangement.

First, Hou Ye secretly went to the wall, if it was arranged in a critical position, after a while, the Western Xia army attacked fiercely, and it was easy to take care of Hou Ye when the battle started, in case he had an accident, he really couldn't explain.

Second, although the guards of the Hou Mansion were much higher than ordinary border soldiers, they had never participated in a real war after all.

The focus of guarding the pass is not to let the attacking Xia army open a gap from them to attack the wall, and when the time comes, I am afraid that these people will be willful and only care about killing the enemy, but they ignore this point.

The third is discipline in combat. Whether it is a battalion officer or a team officer, they will adjust their strategy in a timely manner according to the changes that have occurred in the course of the battle after the battle has started and after the battle has begun.

For example, according to the key areas of the enemy's attack, command the soldiers to adjust their positions and shift positions to deal with them;

Or command a part of the defenders to retreat appropriately, deliberately exposing flaws, attracting the enemy to shift the focus of the attack, on the one hand, relieving the pressure on another weak defensive point, and on the other hand, creating a trap to lure the enemy into the killing range of the archers to achieve the best defensive effect.

Huang Dayin was worried that if the guards of the Hou Mansion were killed at that time and did not listen to the order, if it affected the implementation of the general's entire defensive strategy and affected the overall situation, it would be impossible to redeem it.

Huang Dayin found Yang Huairen and told him the worries in his heart.

Yang Huairen didn't understand this, he only thought that whether it was a march or a battle, or a defensive battle like the current one, it was better to defend the city and defend the pass, that is, who had more people on both sides, and who was stronger than the individual soldier quality of the soldiers.

Whether it is in film and television dramas or novels, they all focus on the grand scenes of soldiers heroically killing the enemy, and they can be summed up in one word - rush.

But the real battle is not simply to see who can fight, to see who is more brave, after listening to Huang Dayin's words, Yang Huairen understood a little, in the real war, it is the "strategy" that affects the final victory.

When people talk about the martial arts, one of the words used the most is courage and strategy, courage is his personal force, and strategy is the key to whether this general is an excellent general.

It is not a brilliant military division like Zhuge Liang in the novel to arrange the formation, how to mobilize the army to fight is the strategy, in a local small battle, a grassroots general is in the battle to deal with the details of the changes in the battlefield, which is also an important factor affecting the victory or defeat of a battle.

Yang Huairen understood what Huang Dayin meant, and immediately summoned all the "fire chiefs", and solemnly carried out the meaning of Huang Dutou, asking everyone to obey the command in all actions, and after the battle started again, they must not only care about their own killing because of a momentary mood, regardless of the overall situation of the entire battle.

Brother Hei Niu and others felt that what Yang Huairen said was very reasonable, and began to clarify their thoughts anew.

At this moment, the sound of the Xia army's third huge drum attack sounded again......
