In the huge military system of the Yan Army, the captains, especially the captains who serve as the commanders of the battalions, have an extremely important position, because they are the bridge between the generals and the ordinary soldiers of the various armies, and play the role of connecting the upper and lower levels! What should a qualified lieutenant look like? Usually they have to be good at training soldiers, and they must also have a more in-depth understanding of their subordinates, here when King Yan was in the West Garden as a military captain, he had already set an example! In wartime, it is necessary to have strict obedience, and to complete the combat tasks assigned by the generals of all armies on time and with due diligence! The former is the principle that no personal factor can be added to the army, but in the latter, the space for self-play is quite broad, and there can be a variety of methods to complete the combat mission.

Lin Xue received Zang Ba's general order to stand by, and when it was dawn, he could send troops to attack the place where the two armies were fighting, as a cavalry battalion captain, he was naturally meticulous in the implementation of military orders, and under his strict training, the cavalry battalion was not unable to fight at night, but it was also a fact that its power would be limited. And Liu Xin put forward a different opinion at this time, now General Zang has sent troops to meet the enemy, but the opponent's timing of this battle is so accurate, it shows that he must have made sufficient preparations, I am afraid that the enemy will not be as simple as crossing the river all the way, and there is a threat on the Yiyang Trail.

Liu Xin is by no means a whim to put forward such an opinion, today he should be on duty with a thousand people, these days Zang Ba has raised the alert level of the whole army to the highest, and the Quartet reconnaissance cavalry will be sent ten miles away, Yiyang Trail has been abandoned for a long time due to Liu Bei's relocation of the people, and it is difficult to walk here, but this difficulty is for ordinary people, but for the elite of the Yan army, it can be like walking on the ground. Zang Ba did not receive the information that there was a Yangzhou army around him, but he would not take it lightly because there was no information, so the Yiyang Trail was also one of the places where the scouts were dispatched, and today, the scouts under Liu Xin's command were half an hour later than usual and were still missing!

At present, there is no special organization of the reconnaissance battalion in the establishment of the Yan army, and its function is integrated with the communication battalion, but in Liu Yi's mind, the new army of the Yan army will inevitably add this setting. The information provided by Tianer is of a global nature, and the information obtained through reconnaissance is the closest to the actual battlefield, and can also play a role in early warning! Generally speaking, for the sake of safety, the reconnaissance of each army will have strict norms and procedures, and once there is a mistake in this norm and procedure, even if it is just a little, it will attract the attention of the generals!

The soldiers of the Yan Army's communication battalion have to go through a lot of training similar to that of the people in the heavenly ears, such as secrecy, stealth whereabouts, solo combat and escape skills, etc., which are set up for the sudden situations they are likely to encounter in battle. The communication battalion has the best galloping fast horses in the whole army, and the soldiers all have their superb riding skills, which are all for them to deliver news quickly, and the positions of each battalion are constantly changing during the war, and it is difficult for carrier pigeons to play a role at this time, and they can only rely on fast horses to ensure the speed of information transmission, and there is no good way for a while!

The affairs of the battlefield cannot be negligent, and it is necessary to make thorough preparations in advance, and the war horses of the communication battalion will of course be properly cared for by the soldiers, but no one can guarantee that they will not have sudden situations on the battlefield, maybe they are tripped and injured in the gallop, or they malfunction due to physical reasons, this is by no means nitpicking or exaggeration, anything can happen when they are speeding in the dark, If the information is not conveyed in a timely manner because of this, and the overall situation of the war is affected, it will be a heavy responsibility.

In this regard, the method adopted by the communications battalion is generally more than two people to escort the military intelligence, but in the case of a staggered enemy, the fewer people there are, the smaller the target, the easier it is to hide, and the less easy it is for the enemy to get information! In the daily training of the communication battalion, there is a special training that is the Yan Army's ace dragon and tiger guards, all of whom will be daunted! Sixty miles of extreme running! If you can't pass this level, you don't want to join the communication battalion, and the setting here is to prevent accidents on the war horse.

Sixty miles at the end of the Han Dynasty is equivalent to more than 20 kilometers in later generations, that is, it is longer than the half marathon, according to the scientific research of later generations, the limit of well-trained athletes in running the full marathon often appears at 35 kilometers, which is about the same as nearly 75 miles in the late Han Dynasty. Therefore, Liu Yi set a distance of sixty miles is by no means a hobby, but has a scientific basis, such a large amount of exercise can be called huge, but it will not bring bad effects to the human body! Training soldiers is not training dead soldiers, their physical fitness will directly determine their combat strength!

I have to say that the development of human society is constantly progressing, and the development and application of various tools are changing with each passing day! However, it is precisely because people are becoming more and more dependent on tools that their physical fitness is inversely proportional to the development of tools. Liu Yi can say very responsibly that at the end of the Han Dynasty, people's average physical fitness was far better than that of later generations. After running sixty miles has become a regular training item of the communications battalion, this distance is still being constantly refreshed, Long Xiangjun is already doing eighty miles of training in the usual drills, and the overall speed of the soldiers will be maintained for more than an hour, this is also where Liu Xin feels strange, there is a problem with the selection of war horses, and the reconnaissance soldiers should return to the camp tent when they run on their legs alone, and now the delay in returning can only prove that they had an accident on the way, and this accident will include an enemy attack!

The role of reconnaissance is well known to those who know the soldiers, so they will also use all kinds of means to hunt and kill the opponent's scouts, and such hunting and counter-hunting will be extremely fierce before the start of the war! In the case of similar combat strength between the two sides, the geographical advantage will account for a large proportion of the victory or defeat, and now the scouts of the Longxiang army in this southern place are not too familiar, but the Yangzhou army's understanding of the terrain for many years must be above the Yan army, and it is not impossible to hunt the Yan army scouts secretly.

As the second son of King Yan, Liu Xin's status in the army is extremely special, even if he has always regarded himself as an ordinary general, in the eyes of the rest of the generals, this identity cannot be changed. In terms of battle array experience, he obviously can't compare with a person like Lin Xue who has been in a hundred battles, but when it comes to his grasp of the battle situation and battlefield acumen, he has a very high talent! The feeling of inheriting it to his father, the second son already felt the danger in it at the first time.

When the second son joined the army, King Yan had a solemn explanation to him, Liu Xin himself has been strictly abiding by the rules of the army, his father has always taught him "his body is upright, do not order, his body is not right, although the order does not work", Liu Xin thought so, whether it is daily drills or as a military Sima He has always been meticulous, coupled with outstanding martial arts and bold character, he is very loved among the soldiers, even if Lin Xue and his concept is not in agreement or slightly flawed, the second son will never be too serious, The dignity of the commander of the army as a subordinate must be maintained as much as possible. But in wartime, especially at a critical juncture, he will no longer pay attention to these unspoken rules in the army.

When Lin Xue strictly ordered the cavalry battalion soldiers to abide by General Zang's order, Liu Xin immediately proposed that there might be a possibility of enemy attacks on the Yiyang Trail, and asked the captain to let him lead two thousand cavalry troops to block it. Lin Xue's feeling of the battle situation may be under Liu Xin, but as long as he is reminded a little, he can also see that once the enemy army is really like this, it will be a blow to the Yan army, assuming that Liu Xin's feeling is accurate, it is said that the enemy army that cannot land on the shore will still be a virtual army, just to attract Zang Ba's attention and be conducive to the attack of the enemy army along the Yiyang Trail, of course, it is also possible that it is all in place, but no matter how the enemy army designs, they will not be wrong to prevent it in advance!

From the Yiyang trail out of only twenty miles to reach the Yan army is under construction of the water village, it is conceivable that the enemy army is so surprising that the people who come here must be elite, and there will be fierce generals, the most prestigious generals in the Yangzhou army are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, let any of the three come to the Yan army This attack will be extremely dangerous in the case of unknown enemy situation, such a battle situation as the main general does not take responsibility, how can the second prince go to take this risk?

At that time, the general that Lin Xue admired the most in the White Horse Camp was the three generals, and when the Fengyun generals appeared, there were many Yan army generals who questioned why Guan Yu could be ranked before the three generals? Lin Xue is a staunch supporter of this theory, but even if this ranking is debatable, Guan Yu's strength is beyond doubt, and he has also heard of their bravery in the mouths of the three generals, and in terms of force alone, there is no one to compete with in the Long Xiang army at this time except for the commander Xu Huang! Lin Xue knew that he was definitely not the opponent of these three people, but when the battle situation came here, it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and he had to break through, and if he could block it, he would block it, and if he couldn't stop it, he would block it! But he can fight for his life here, but he will never let the son of King Yan have any mistakes, Liu Yi is his lord, Liu Xin is his young master, where is the reason why his subordinates can't go and let the master go when there is danger? Lin Xue is as simple as that.

He can think of Liu Xin can also think of it, and the more like this, the more reason he has to go, which has nothing to do with his good martial arts desire to be a famous general in the world, and now in the heart of the second son, the battle situation is critical! This is a night battle, once the two sides meet, it will become a melee force, and in this kind of battle, the role of the arrow that the top generals can play is immeasurable! At that time, the bloody battle of Lianshan was the defeat of Liu Yi leading two thousand elite generals to kill more than 10,000 Yuan troops and retreat, and the Youzhou army was able to regain its position, and the reason for the defeat of the Yuan army was because there was no one in the army who could be the father and king. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, these three tiger generals can only be stopped by themselves and Zhao Wuxi, although Lin Xue's martial arts are also extraordinary, they are still very different from these top first-class brave generals, how can he not fight for reason?

This fierce dispute did not last long, due to the urgency of the military situation, they simply did not have time to quarrel again, at first Lin Xue wanted to use his authority to force Liu Xin, but now he can't care if he will offend the second son. But at this time, Liu Xin did not give in at all, you can use the military law of disrespecting the general's order to deal with me, but you must wait until after this battle is over, the military law in this army is determined by his father Liu Xin must not disobey, but the military situation in front of him is also as heavy as Mount Tai!

In the end, Lin Xue made a concession, not because he took into account Liu Xin's identity, but because the words of the second prince did make him feel the seriousness of the battle situation, if he couldn't stop the enemy's surprise attack, the camp under construction by the Yan army was very likely to be destroyed by the other party, so that General Gan's Flying Tiger Army would have an impact on its combat strength because it could not get stable land supplies, and then it would involve the overall battle situation in Xu Yang's place, and it would be detrimental to the overall situation of the Yan King, and the second prince said that this is a chain reaction! If this is the case, the responsibility of this battle in front of him is extremely heavy, and it is not a pity to die on the battlefield, but the next series of reactions Lin Xue is absolutely unacceptable, Liu Xin is indeed the best candidate.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and after transferring half of the cavalry and the second son, he let him attack quickly, once he found the traces of the enemy, he had to do his best to deal with it, and when there was no way to retreat, he had to swear to the death against it! At this time, it was too late to spread the word that General Zang was too late, Lin Xue sent people to the place of the water village to ask for help, there were still 4,000 elite soldiers of the Longxiang army, and the power of the infantry soldiers in the night battle was above the cavalry, as for the excuse that the enemy was coming, he was ready to put all his responsibilities on his shoulders, once the Yiyang trail did not find the enemy's traces, this lying about the military situation would be beheaded!

Of course, Lin Xue at this time will not scruple so much, if the enemy army is not happy at that time, he can go to fight with General Zang according to the previous agreement, and presumably the deputy commander will not really cut him down for this matter! However, if the enemy army really attacked and the second prince made any mistakes in this battle, no one could hold Lin Xue responsible, because at that time, he would definitely fight for his life on the battlefield!
