Chapter 375: Psychological Battle
Zhao Junsheng guessed that the raid mission of the 1,000th cavalry would definitely be forced to be suspended because of the rain, and the body heat would be lost quickly after the rain in this season, and the chance of contracting the wind chill was very great, and once the wind chill was infected, the soldiers would inevitably lose their combat effectiveness.
In this case, Bai Jinguang ordered the suspension of the raid and harassment mission, which is understandable, but Bai Jinguang did not fully realize the importance of their raid and harassment mission, nor did he realize that once the military order was issued, it would be like a mountain collapsing and could not be changed, even if the whole army was annihilated, the task must be completed, and it would be a crime to fail to complete the task!
Zhao Junsheng weighed it and ordered Gao Xiu: "Let Pei Jin prepare a batch of oilcloth to carry on horses, and you lead the team to transport it to the 1,000th cavalry and take over the command, even if there are knives in the sky tonight, you have to give it to Pontus to continue to carry out the task of harassment until Pontus arrives with men and horses!" You go to eat first, and after eating, when Pei Jin is ready for you, you will set off immediately! ”
"Yes!" Gao Xiu clenched his fists and agreed, and then took the oilcloth from his own soldier and draped it over his body and walked out of the tent.
"Wait!" Zhao Junsheng got up and called Gao Xiu, walked over and looked at him and said, "Let Bai Jinguang come back to report on his work, don't stay after receiving the order, Ben Dutong is waiting for him here!" ”
Gao Xiu realized that Bai Jinguang was only afraid this time
The raindrops fell on the camp tent and made a crackling sound, and Zhao Junsheng saw Gao Xiu disappear into the rain with his own soldiers before turning around and approaching the tent with his hands behind his back to think about tonight's battle strategy.
It didn't take long for Pei Jin to personally bring someone to bring food to Zhao Junsheng, he put the food, wine and meat on the small table, and said: "Dutong, it's raining, drink some bar, and warm up!" ”
Zhao Junsheng looked at the wine jar and asked, "How many jars of wine are there in the camp?" ”
Pei Jin replied: "There are still five hundred altars, there are no bowls to drink, the distance of the baggage transportation is too far, and the next batch of baggage will wait for a month to be escorted over, and they all ask what is this?" ”
Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Prepare a hundred altars for Gao Xiu and send them over, so that the 1,000th cavalry team can drink a bowl of wine to get rid of the cold when they carry out the raid mission!" In addition, prepare some more wine, and give everyone a bowl to drink when the army of the Honto Commander sets off tomorrow morning! After we leave, you should immediately bring the men over to cook ginger soup for the soldiers! ”
Pei Jin agreed: "Yes, the subordinates remember!" ”
At this time, Li Bao, who was on duty outside the tent, came in and reported loudly: "Dutong, General Buliugu is here!" ”
The reason for the rain, the voice was too small to be heard clearly, and Zhao Junsheng shouted loudly: "Please come in!" ”
Bu Liugu walked in and hugged Zhao Junsheng, Zhao Junsheng hugged his fist in return, invited him to sit on the maza, and sent an invitation: "Zhao is about to eat, if the general doesn't dislike the rough food, let's go together!" ”
Bu Liugu was hungry, and he was not polite: "Thank you!" ”
Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered Pei Jin to send someone to send some more wine and meat, and saw that there were two young generals about the same size as him standing behind Bu Liugu, so he asked, "Who are these two?" ”
Bu Liugu turned sideways and introduced to Zhao Junsheng, "This is Babakang, the first general of the Right Guard, and the son of Ruyin Gong and Tingweiqing Babadaosheng!" ”
Ba Ba Kang looks heroic and majestic, which is completely opposite to his father Ba Ba Daosheng's weakness, and after Bu Liugu finished his introduction, he hugged his fist to Zhao Junsheng: "I've seen Zhao Dutong!" ”
Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Brother Baba, you and I are of the same age, we should be able to talk about it, and if I can find someone in the future, just speak!" ”
A smile appeared on his face, "Zhao Dutong is refreshing, not as pretentious and twisted as other Han people, you are a friend and I have made up my mind!" ”
"Zhao is so honored!"
Bu Liu Gu Qian introduced another young general: "This is the dog Bu Liu Gu Li, young and not very sensible, like to fool around, so I will take it with me to sharpen it, and please Zhao Dutong take more care!" ”
"The general is gracious!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, hugged his fists at Buliu Guli and said with a smile: "Brother Li, we are all young people, there is no generation gap, we should be able to talk, if you want to visit the kiln in the future, you must call me!" ”
Bu Liuguli looked embarrassed, his father Bu Liugu couldn't help crying and laughing, but Ba Ba Kang laughed loudly.
At this time, some soldiers brought a few people's meals and put them on the low table in front of them.
Zhao Junsheng greeted: "General, two brothers, come on, let's talk while eating!" ”
The three of them sat down after each clasping their fists, already very hungry, and started to move one after another.
After eating half full, Bu Liugu asked, "Zhao Dutong, how do you plan to fight this battle?" ”
Zhao Junsheng swallowed the meat in his mouth, took a sip of wine and said: "The soldiers and horses of the army are preliminarily scheduled to set off at Yinshi, so that the distance from the place to the army of Pi Lixian, combined with the current weather and road conditions, can rush to the vicinity of the camp of the Rouran people in about an hour, and after arriving, only make a slight adjustment, do not stay for a long time, and directly launch an attack!" ”
Bu Liu Guli was young, and she didn't care about anything she didn't understand or didn't understand, so she asked directly: "There is only one hour away?" It's too close, isn't it? Since our scouts can know where their camp is, their scouts will inevitably find out where our camp is, and they will not be unprepared for our army. ”
Zhao Junsheng stopped and greeted the soldiers standing next to him, asking him to hang the map next to him.
"General, two brothers, Zhao Mou has analyzed with the prince and the generals when he was in the tent, there are only a few locations around this that can be used as large campsites, and the Rouran people obviously know that only the riverside camp and the location where it is located are the most suitable, they raided the riverside camp during the day, and they will definitely not think that we have a second camp here!"
"Besides, since this morning, Zhao has sent several small groups of elite cavalry to attack and kill the scouts and vigilant rangers they sent near the Rouran army, Zhao can use his head to vouch for it, Pi Li will not know the inside story of our army!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng got up and walked to the map and said to the three people: "General, two brothers, please see, because of the rain, the Rouran people were forced to camp nearby during the march, and their camp was under a high post, the high post is not high, but the slope is too steep, the infantry can climb up, but the cavalry cannot." Other than that, the other three sides are unobstructed! Zhao's idea is that you and my two armies will attack from two directions, so that Pi Li can not take care of the front and rear, and we will fight from both sides, and we will definitely be able to defeat Pi Lixian's army, and then divide the troops to chase and expand the results, I don't know what the general and the two brothers think of this strategy? ”
Bu Liugu frowned and said: "If it rains heavily today, the wind and rain are added, the march is very difficult, and it is even more difficult to fight and kill, the soldiers are resistant, the morale is not high, and the forced launch is only afraid that the effect will not be good!" ”
Zhao Junsheng smiled and said: "The general is right to think so, we all know this, don't Pi Lixian know?" He and his Rouran soldiers and horses will inevitably let their guard down because of this! If today's time and location are all on me, as long as you and my two armies work together, then how can we be invincible? Therefore, please also ask the general to persuade the soldiers under his command to promise a heavy reward and let the soldiers overcome difficulties! ”
Bu Liugu pondered for a while, he somewhat agreed with Zhao Junsheng's statement in his heart, and promised: "Ben will try it!" ”
Ba Ba Kang stopped his chopsticks at this time and said, "Brother Zhao, the distance between us and the camp of the Rouran people is too close, if Pi Lixian is not a fool, it is impossible for him to be in the camp without deploying tricks to guard against our surprise attack!" ”
Zhao Yunsheng said with a smile: "Brother Baba is right, after last night's confrontation and today's cavalry he sent to raid my riverside camp, it can be seen that Pi Lixian is not only not stupid, but also very cunning and smart!" However, Zhao said one thing, Pi Lixian's strength is only about 7,000 people, while your two armies have more than 6,000 people, and there is not much difference in strength, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation, we are not afraid of them, let alone a surprise attack? ”
"Also, Pi Lixian's soldiers and horses are all cavalry, not foot soldiers, so what can cats do in the camp? Unless they have foot soldiers who can build some defenses to fend off, but they are not. All they can do is be ready to fight. Until this time, Zhao's people have been attacking Pi Lixian's people, always making noise and noise on the periphery, but they do not attack the camp, and after a long time, they will form a habit of thinking that we will not attack the camp, and how can you and I flank him from both sides? ”
The three of them looked at each other and nodded in unison.
The camp of the Rouran Army.
The oil lamp inside the tent was swayed by the wind leaking in through the tent curtain, Pi Lixian frowned, and Hu Hehan and several generals and wizards stood on both sides, everyone's faces showing worry.
At this time, a senior general spoke up: "If you want me to say that the Wei army is playing tricks, they have all made noise outside the camp so many times, have they ever killed in?" Let's actually scare ourselves, I suggest that you all go back and rest, if the Wei army wants to make noise, let them make noise, anyway, there are not many people who are making noise, and they don't have the guts to kill in, let's sleep ours! ”
Hu Hehan asked rhetorically: "What if the brigade suddenly kills in?" ”
The man was silent.
"Once passive, passive everywhere! Wei Jun was premeditated, otherwise we would never have been so powerless to fight back! Now even the scouts sent out have all disappeared, it is obvious that they have been poisoned, and the surrounding guard posts have been repeatedly destroyed, the Wei army knows everything about us, but we don't know much about them, only that they have built land on the riverside, and there are tens of thousands of horses! So many soldiers and horses did not come to attack in a big way, but they repeatedly sent only a small group of men and horses to attack and disturb, and they also wanted to drag us down alive! ”
The words of a general made the hearts of others even heavier.
Pi Li first knew that he couldn't let this emotion continue to ferment and spread, otherwise without the Wei army coming over, the Rouran people themselves would scare themselves.
Pi Li took a deep breath and said to everyone: "Generals, don't worry, we have already made the relevant defensive arrangements!" Besides, if it rains heavily today, they can send a small group of men and horses to attack and disturb, but it is dozens of miles from the riverside camp to here, and it is not easy to brave such a wind and rain to come to raid, but I am afraid that when I arrive here, I will already be shivering from the cold, how can I raid our army's camp? ”
