Thanks to the precautions of a few old people, it is now possible to use the map of the surrounding three or four hills.

As a later generation, even if Li Xinchen didn't pay much attention to the map on weekdays, but he still knew the contour line and the like, and when he saw this map from 1,500 years ago, he naturally felt a little helpless, because this map only hastily marked the location of the surrounding streams and valleys, and there were no height-related markers, and he didn't know how high the mountain was, how deep the valley was, and how wide the stream was.

Such a simple map, even if Li Xinchen had been mentally prepared for a long time, he still didn't expect it. While it is true that the ancients had some technology that was even more advanced than modern people, in most respects, it was far behind the modern era.

Especially in terms of measurement, the ancients were able to draw maps with primitive methods and tools such as footsteps or rulers, and it was already very good to be able to accurately measure the height and the width and length of some details. The left edge of this map is already a little yellowed, and the right edge looks quite new, you can imagine how much effort a few old people in the clan have put in to draw this map, how many times to go back and forth in this deep mountain and old forest, and how much time it will take.

Although this map is shabby, but fortunately, even if it is a real battle, it is a few hills around this village, and the people in these villages have long been familiar with it, so Li Xinchen can think about it by relying on the memory of the previous master. I have to say that these young men who grew up in the mountains are really clear about the surroundings, looking at this map, Li Xinchen has been able to make up the scene in his brain.

The three or four surrounding mountains are actually about the same height, about 100 zhang, two or three hundred meters, and there are obviously not many high mountains in this area, but because of the dense bamboo forest, this mountain is not high, but the village can hide in it and not be known.

Glancing at the map, which had cost him a lot of effort, the old man of the Zheng family turned his head to look at Li Xinchen: "Xinchen, since you have handed over the power to lead all the young people in the village, and all the strong men, and among the many young men, you have always had a lot of ghost ideas, so you might as well tell me what you think." ”

Before the words fell, the eyes of Li Cheng and the others also fell on Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen took a breath lightly and took a step forward, and naturally there was no reason to shirk it at this time: "The younger generation is not talented, but I still thought of a strategy that might be able to be taken and seen." ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and pointed on the map: "There are still three mountains around the mountain where we are now, and according to the direction where the two thieves came, there is a good chance that this group of thieves is hiding on this mountain in the east, and the younger generation thinks that these thieves are likely to gather on a hill in order to be able to unify the order, and also to prevent someone from running away or ventilating the news, so it is very likely to gather on a mountain, which is the largest and farthest mountain from us." ”

Li Cheng and the others nodded, obviously they had the same guess before.

And Li Xinchen continued: "The art of war is cloudy: surprise and attack unprepared. The best defense is actually to attack, now the enemy is outnumbered, the enemy is dark and I am clear, in the soldiers march and fight the most disadvantaged, the only advantage is that the village itself still has a wall to protect. If we are a little bit of a person, we may still have the strength to fight in the face of bandits rushing up in one direction, but once the bandits have enough bows and crossbows in their hands, and the fighting spirit of these bandits is quite high, then it is very likely to attack from multiple directions at the same time, or feint to attack the main attack, or simply attack directly at the same time, we are difficult to resist, so if we want to reverse the current situation, we can only create an advantage by ourselves. ”

This time Li Cheng and the others all frowned, although they followed Chen Qingzhi from north to south when they were young, and even taught the art of war to Chen Qingzhi in his spare time, but after all, they were only personal guards, and they had no experience in commanding battles.

Seeing the expressions of Li Cheng and the others, Li Xinchen also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he had read a lot of books on war on weekdays, and he had more than 1,500 years of experience than Li Cheng and them, and it was still very easy to suppress them.

"Xun Chen, how should you create the advantages you said?" Li Cheng couldn't help but ask.

Li Xinchen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and knocked on the map: "The enemy is outnumbered, and the enemy is dark and I am clear, which will just make the enemy lose vigilance, especially when waiting for orders and resting, and that time is precisely the biggest advantage we can use!" ”

Seeing Li Cheng and the others have an epiphany, the expressions on their faces are also complicated, and Zheng Qing said with some surprise: "Brother Chen, you mean ······?"

"Hit it!" Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "Take advantage of their unpreparedness and surprise, kill the morale of these bandits first, if we can take advantage of the chaos to break up their team, we can also buy enough time." ”

Before Li Xinchen finished speaking, Zheng Qing and these young people all took a breath of cool air. They asked themselves that they had been crawling and rolling in the mountains since they were children, and they were not timid and afraid of things, even if Li Qiu, who was recognized as sleek and naughty, was actually only relatively speaking, to let him go into battle, this kid would also pat his chest and scream and rush forward, after all, people in the mountains are simple and honest, and like to go straight, so occasionally there is such a person who likes to beat the corners, and it is natural to say that he is timid.

And now Li Xinchen's plan is also quite shocking in the eyes of young people who claim to be bold. In fact, it is not because these young people who have had the courage to fight with wild boars in the mountains since they were young did not dare to rush over to the place where those bandits gathered to make a fuss, but because these mountain people are simple, they naturally would not have thought that they could fight like this.

Li Cheng and the other two old men glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be happy and disappointed and said: "When you were young, in the private school in the village, you didn't teach you a lot of military books, but now you can only remember Xin Chen. ”

Li Cheng didn't say it, but fortunately, Li Xinchen remembered it.

Chen Qingzhi is an out-and-out Confucian general, the history books record that he didn't even have a way to get on the horse-drawn bow when he was young, it can be said that he was a thin literati, and he waited until he led the troops to fight, before he gradually changed to a general, and as a Confucian general Chen Qingzhi, his personal soldiers were more or less literate, and even often guarded the personal guards around Chen Qingzhi, such as Li Cheng and others, and more or less thanks to Chen Qingzhi to teach some simple art of war, after all, with their brains, it is not an overnight effort to understand those advanced military books, Not to mention for practice.
