The comprehensive evaluation of a general's military ability should be carried out from many aspects, including the command of troops, military training, personal force, decision-making on the spot, flexible application of the art of war, strategy, and so on.

The ability to make decisions on the fly is one of the most important indicators, and the outcome of a victory will ultimately be determined by the deployment of the commanders of the two warring sides on the eve of the battle, the military orders issued during the battle, and the ability of the generals to execute the tactics. Therefore, there are too many factors that can affect the outcome of a war.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, because the ability of the soldiers who carry out tactics is different, and the general of the opposing army is also a big living person, who may make tactical adjustments at any time, and fighters will arrive at any time, fleeting.

Therefore, the ability of the commander of the army to make decisions on the spot is particularly important at this time, and it is necessary to be decisive in making decisions, and to be good at seizing the fighter plane and giving correct orders in a timely manner.

For example, Zhao Junsheng learned that Rouran's army had stopped advancing fifteen miles away, which was a change from his preconceived idea, so he had to make adjustments in a very short time and reformulate the ambush plan.

However, when the enemy did not know the specific situation, Zhao Junsheng's combat purpose should not be changed, because this would overturn all his previous plans and deployments.

In order to achieve this goal, he devised a method to deceive the Rouran Sentinels in the shortest possible time, allowing them to transmit the fake news back to Ku Renzhi, so as to achieve the goal of deceiving Ku Renzhi.

Fifteen miles north of the reeds.

10,000 Rouran cavalry are resting here, except for some Rouran rangers on the periphery who are in charge of guarding, the other Rouran cavalry are sitting on the ground, most of them have already fed their horses, and now it is their turn to eat, drink, and solve the problem of urinating and urinating.

Kuren sat straight on the mazar and nibbled on the jerky, and from time to time poured a sip of mare's milk wine into his mouth.

While eating, Kuren asked the guard next to him, "How long has the Sentinel Cavalry been going?" ”

The guard looked at the shadow of a spear stuck in the ground next to it, which was used to keep time.

"Chief, calculate the time, the Sentinel Cavalry is almost going to send someone back to report the reconnaissance situation!"

As soon as the guard's words were finished, two black dots appeared at the end of the northern sky, and the faint sound of horses' hooves came, and he immediately said, "Look, they are back!" ”

After waiting for a while, someone noticed that something was wrong, "Oh no, they're being hunted down!" ”

Kuren got up suddenly, and immediately ordered: "Send a tooth of troops to respond, quickly!" ”

In the convoy, one of the tooth owners immediately gave the order to mount and attack, and more than 30 Rouran cavalry quickly turned on their horses and beat their horses to meet the galloping sentinels.

The Qianjun sentry cavalry, who was leading the troops to pursue the Rouran Sentinel Cavalry, saw the large area of Rouran cavalry in front of them, and they couldn't count them, and they immediately slowed down.

Shi Chang immediately hit the horse and turned around: "Change horses, retreat quickly!" ”

The sentinels of the dry army quickly changed a group of horses, and galloped away at a very fast speed in the direction they came, and if they did not escape, they would be overtaken by the Rouran cavalry.

The Rouran Sentinel Hulu and another companion escaped safely and were brought before Kurenzhi.

Hulu reported: "Chief, there is a situation ahead!" As soon as we arrived at Luredang, we were met by a cavalry army of about 3,000 men, who were crossing the hill and resting at the foot of the hill! We hid in the reeds and watched, and they soon sent sentry horses to investigate the reeds, and the ten-captain ordered us to flee back and report to the chief! ”

After listening to this, Kuren asked: "So you just arrived in Luweidang, and you happened to meet that 3,000-strong cavalry army over the hill?" They sent scouts to scout the reeds, and you were worried that you would be surrounded and unable to come back to report the news, so you would rather be found and flee back? ”

"Yes, Chief!"

"It seems that this cavalry of the cadre army was planning to ambush us in the reeds, and was accidentally bumped into by you!"

Kuren said straight to himself, and he quickly made a decision: "Pass the order, everyone get on the horse, and prepare for war!" ”

The heralds galloped along the procession, shouting one after another, and the cavalry of the Rouran Army mounted their horses when they heard the order.

It didn't take long for all 10,000 cavalry to mount, and Kuren gave the order: "Go!" ”

The army advanced rapidly to the south, and the reason why Kurenzhi decided to attack immediately was because the cadres had just arrived, and they must have run all night when they arrived from the Bahan Mountain, and it was when the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and the attack happened to seize the opportunity at this time; On the other hand, the cadre army had only 3,000 men, while he had 10,000 horses, more than three times the number of the cadre army, and had an absolute advantage in strength. In the end, at this time, follow the cadre army behind the outpost to kill the past, even if the cadre army wants to withdraw when the news is received, it is too late, because the distance between the two sides is too close, once the cadre army turns around and retreats, his side can follow the trend to chase and kill, the cadre army will be defeated, and even another total annihilation!

Running and running, seeing that he was about to arrive at the reeds, Ku Renzhi felt that he had overlooked something, he suddenly remembered this, and immediately called the sentry Hulu to ask: "Have you already explored the reeds before you came back to report the news?" ”

"No, we encountered the Qianjun as soon as we arrived at Luweidang, and the Qianjun then sent a lookout to investigate Luweidang, but we didn't have time to go deep into Luweidang to investigate!"

Ku Renzhi felt a little unsteady when he heard this, the area of this reed is too large, the long reeds are deep and dense, and it is not a problem to hide tens of thousands of horses in it, and it will take a lot of effort to find these tens of thousands of horses.

Kuren thought to himself that if he was in a battle with the Qianjun, if another Qianjun cavalry came out of the reeds, wouldn't he be defeated?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but now the army was only two miles away from the reeds, and the 3,000 cavalry of the cadre army were afraid that they had already discovered them, after all, the movement caused by the rapid march of 10,000 cavalry was too great, and it was impossible to turn around or change direction and leave at this time, and the cadre army was only 3,000 people, and they would soon catch up, and this was not the most important thing, once they decided to withdraw and not fight, the impact on morale was very great.

Therefore, by this time, Ku Renzhi was already difficult to ride a tiger, and it was no longer up to him whether he wanted to fight or not, and the situation forced him to fight this battle, but Ku Renzhi quickly had a countermeasure in his heart.

There was a series of desolate horns in front, this is the horn sound of the three thousand cavalry being assembled, and when Ku Renzhi led the troops to arrive outside the reeds, he happened to see that the three thousand cavalry had completed the whole team, and the banner of the cadre army that was pressing up on this side had been erected, with the word "Wei" written on it, and the Rouran cavalry also began to slow down under the control of Ku Renzhi, and finally stopped completely.

A Rouran official walked up to Ku Renzhi and said: "Chief, look at this flag, there is only one general surnamed Wei in Qianguo, that is, Wei Jing, the righteous son of Emperor Zhao Junsheng of Qianguo, I heard that this person is brave and good at fighting, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with!" ”

Ku Renzhi first turned his head and glanced at the reeds next to him with his eyes, but he didn't find anything suspicious, and then he slowly turned his head to look at the cavalry formation of the cadre army two miles ahead.

After a rough count, he counted it, about three thousand cavalry, the number should be correct, Ku Renzhi was a little relieved, he was worried just now that the number of troops in the cadre army was more than three thousand, and some of the soldiers and horses had been hidden in the reeds in advance; At the same time, he was also worried that the cadres had hidden some of the 3,000 cavalry in the reeds during the time he had led his troops.

The number of cadres on the opposite side was roughly the same as that of the scouts at the beginning, so the cadres did not hide some of them in the reeds just now, and the second worry can be ruled out.

So is it possible that the cadres had hidden part of their troops in the reeds in advance? Kuren thought about it in his head, but it was impossible to think about it.

"Chief, chief!" The official next to him shouted twice in succession.

Kuren came back to his senses, he remembered that this official had just introduced Wei Jing's identity, and was worried that the Rouran cavalry under his command would be frightened by Wei Jing's name, so he pretended not to care and said: "What's so great about Wei Jing, he is only famous because he is the righteous son of Emperor Qianguo, and only because he made a little merit in the war with the Southern Dynasty a few years ago. ”

Wei Jing didn't let Ku Renzhi and the Rouran cavalry under his command rest the eunuchs, and while he was talking, Wei Jing had already picked up Fang Tian's halberd and pointed forward, shouting: "Cadres and soldiers, follow me and rush over, kill all these Rouran people to avenge General Xue Andu!" ”

"Revenge, kill, kill, kill—" The three thousand cadres shouted in unison, and the horses followed Wei Jing and launched a charge.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves shook the ears faintly numb, and the ground shook non-stop, although there were only 3,000 cavalry, but the powerful momentum brought by the 3,000 cavalry made the Rouran people secretly frightened, this was the first time that these Rouran cavalry deeply felt the power of the dry army.

A subordinate general couldn't help but be anxious Kuren and said straightly: "Chief, the cadres have already rushed over, rushing up the speed, if we don't react, it will be too late!" ”

Sure enough, it is worthy of a nation on horseback, and a general knows that once the cavalry rushes up, the speed is very terrifying, especially the large-scale formed cavalry, the kind of overwhelming momentum and powerful collision force no one can resist.

Ku Renzhi immediately gave the order to meet the attack, and at the same time, he also left a hand: "Three thousand people from each of the left and right divisions attacked, and the Chinese army will not move!" ”

"Yes!"

"Woo-woo-woo-" The horn of the attack sounded.

The Rouran army on the left and right flanks under the command of its general set out on horseback, and they rushed out like arrows from the string, outflanking Wei Jing's 3,000 cavalry on the left and right.

Wei Jing, who was sprinting on horseback, immediately saw the tactics of the Rouran people, and he immediately issued an order and shouted to the heralds: "Blow the trumpet, order 1,000 people on the left to contain the right wing of the Rouran Army, and a total of 2,000 people from the middle army and the right army will attack 3,000 people on the left flank of the Rouran Army!" ”

In this case, if you want to convey the military order, you can only use the way of blowing the trumpet, otherwise the military order will not be easy to convey at all, even if it is conveyed, the following generals and colonels will not be able to receive it in time.

However, the way of blowing the trumpet is different, the sound of the trumpet is very easy to distinguish, and the distance of transmission is also long, and it can be transmitted far in a few seconds, and the sound of the horn can be used to give orders thanks to the extremely perfect military order transmission system of the cadre army.
