Chapter 386: The Ploy of the Soldiers
“□□□□□□□,□□□□□□,□□□□□□□□□□□□!”
At the foot of the low hill, the strong knight of the Qiang tribe pointed at the Wei people on the hill and shouted loudly.
But because of the language barrier, the Dangshan soldiers couldn't understand what this guy was talking about, so they only paid attention for a moment and continued to do their own thing, that is, to build a barracks barracks.
On the top of the low hill, Sima An and several generals of the Dangshan Army also looked down the mountain with a confused face because of the language barrier.
Seeing this, Wu Wu reminded: "That guy ...... I want to challenge the strongest warriors of your army. ”
Wu Wu automatically translated the phrase "the first warrior of your tribe" into "the strongest warrior of your army".
"The strongest warrior? Generals? ”
Bai Fangming, the general of the Dangshan Army, said with a smile when he heard this: "It's a little interesting, otherwise I will meet him when I go down?" ”
"Don't." Another general of the Dangshan Army said lightly: "The other party is just a soldier, if you, the general of our army, come out, my Dangshan Army will inevitably be too cheap......
Hearing this, Wu Wu explained in a low voice: "The other party is not just a 'soldier'. ”
"Oh? Isn't it? Wen Xu looked at Wu Wu with a little surprise.
But Wu Wu nodded and said, "At least it's 'Centurion', but I guess it may be 'Centurion'." …… Ordinary tribal warriors are not qualified to provoke a single fight against the enemy at such a time. ”
"Centurion? Thousand-torn? …… What is that? ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhao Hongrun explain lightly beside him: "'Centurion' is equivalent to the 'uncle' of my Great Wei, and 'Thousand Commanders' is equivalent to the 'Thousand Generals' of Chu State, and in my Great Wei, it is the rank of 'Quhou' and 'Military Marquis'. …… This should be a military position drawn up by the people of the Qian tribe after my Great Wei. ”
“…… That's right. Wu Wu glanced at Zhao Hongrun, slightly surprised.
After all, before this, he thought that the Wei people didn't know anything about their Sanchuan, but at the moment, the Wei State might not have a lot of information about the people of Sanchuan.
"The degree of Quhou and Junhou......" Bai Fangming touched his chin and muttered, "This is really a bit cheap......"
You must know that Bai Fangming and Wen Xu, who are generals at the level of deputy marshal, are generals who are trusted by the general Sima An and have the ability to take charge on their own, and are only one level lower than the "general" level in the military system.
"Why don't you change me?" Le Qi, the general of the Dangshan Army, said with a smile: "The other party is a cavalry general, and it just so happens that I am also a cavalry general, so let me weigh the other party's ability!" ”
However, before he finished his words, another general named Ji Yan next to him stepped forward and said lightly: "It's better to replace me." ”
"Why you?"
"If you can, of course I can too."
In fact, these two are both generals of the "cavalry battalion" of the Dangshan Army.
Because the "cavalry battalion" of the Dangshan Army is accustomed to the method of vehicle suspension warfare, therefore, it is necessary to have two generals at the same time to serve as the "axe" and "axe" in the vehicle suspension array, so only the "cavalry battalion" has two generals among the three battalions of the Dangshan Army.
"Note: The "axe" and "axe" of the car suspension array, that is, the "main attack" and "feint attack", can be switched.』
And these two generals, that is, Ji Yan and Le Qi at the level of battalion generals.
Seeing Ji Yan and Le Qian arguing there, Sima An frowned and said unhappily: "No one needs to go down the mountain to fight. …… Ignore it! ”
"Don't bother?"
The generals looked at Sima An in surprise, a little incomprehensible.
After all, in their opinion, in the case that the other Dangshan people took the lead in fighting and provoking, if they ignored the Dangshan Army, wouldn't this boost the arrogance of those Qiang people and extinguish the prestige of their Dangshan Army?
Although the psychological quality of their Dangshan Army's soldiers is excellent, and it is easy to shake their morale, but this kind of thing of "fear of not going to war" is not a good reputation for the Dangshan Army after all, right?
As if he had guessed the emotions of the generals, Sima An said coldly: "This general has made up his mind, and no one should pay attention to the provocation of the people of the mountain tribe, this is an order!" ”
Seeing that the generals had all said this, the generals naturally did not dare to disobey.
"General...... Is this a ploy to be arrogant?'
General Wen Xu and Bai Fangming glanced at each other and secretly guessed.
It's a pity that they still didn't guess Sima An's real intentions.
Perhaps in this military camp, only Zhao Hongrun knew Sima An's true intentions.
About half an hour passed, and because of Sima An's ban, the generals of the Dangshan army ignored the provocation of the cavalry of the Qiang tribe at the foot of the mountain.
This made the cavalryman under the dwarf hill proud, but also couldn't help but be a little angry, and shouted something in a stern tone.
“□□□□□□□□□□□,□□□□,□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□!”
Although the language was not understood, the generals on the low hill could guess casually, and they could also think that this must be the other party insulting them.
It's just that, because they don't understand it, instead of being angry, they are a little curious about what the Qiang people are scolding.
For example, Bai Fangming couldn't help but ask Wu Wu: "Hey, Wu Wu, that Qi people, is he scolding me and waiting?" What is he scolding? ”
『……』
Wu Wu glanced at the generals of the Dangshan Army who were curious, and translated with a wry smile: "He said, 'The Wei people who are timid and afraid of death, you are vultures, magpies, crows, jackals, snakes, insects, ......."
"Huh?"
The generals of the Dangshan Army looked at Wu Wu with some dumbfoundedness, and said in their hearts: What kind of scolding words is this? As if guessing the confusion in these people's hearts, Wu Wu explained with some headache: "Vultures, magpies, crows, jackals...... In our culture of the Qiang people, it is the "Death Eater Beast" that eats carrion, so it is the lowest thing to use to insult each other...... Quite unbearable swearing. ”
After that, he saw that the generals of the nearby Dangshan Army were not only not annoyed, but looked a little dumbfounded, so he asked curiously, "Aren't you angry?" What is the swear like in your country? ”
"Greet the women in the other party's family directly, especially the elders...... Something. Bai Fangming's frank explanation made the expressions of the nearby generals a little subtle.
"Greetings?" Wu Wu was a little puzzled when he heard this word, after all, in his understanding, greeting is a good word, how can it involve swearing?
"This is the difference between the cultures of the two peoples......
Zhao Hongrun shook his head and took Una to the barracks, after all, he had already guessed Sima An's intentions, so there was no need to stay here any longer.
Seeing Zhao Hongrun leaving, the general Sima An also dropped a muttering similar to "boring" and turned to leave.
As soon as these two left, the generals of the Dangshan Army also dispersed and went to fulfill their responsibilities, leaving only Wu Wu alone, still standing on the top of the low hill, looking at the Qiang cavalry under the low hill, while trying to understand the meaning of the word "greeting" in the Wei Chinese dialect.
He had a vague feeling that the word might have another meaning.
In this way, while the Dangshan soldiers were in full swing to build the barracks barracks, those Qiang cavalry fought at the foot of the low hills.
Unfortunately, due to the language barrier, the soldiers of the Dangshan Army couldn't understand what these people were scolding, so they didn't pay attention to it at all, and in addition to guarding the other party, they still built their own camps.
It was a farce.
However, during this period, those Qiang cavalry tried to use the longbow in their hands to shoot two rounds of arrows at the Dangshan Army on the low hill, but unfortunately, because Sima An had already been reminded by Wu Wu, the two arrows of the Qiang cavalry almost had no effect.
Except for a few unlucky ghosts who used their shields to protect themselves against their disadvantage, they were shot in the arm, and there were hardly any casualties.
But think about it, after all, the arrows of the cavalry of the Qiang tribe are still using the 'Double-winged Arrowhead', which cannot pose any threat to the iron shields of the infantry of the Dangshan Army.
In this way, the two sides remained at a stalemate until late at night.
Around midnight that night, this group of Dangshan cavalry took advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack on the military camp of the Dangshan Army, but unfortunately there was no gain, after leaving only a few dozen corpses, the advance cavalry of the Dangshan Army retreated.
And with this retreat, this advance cavalry of the Qiang tribe lost its trace.
In this regard, Wu Wu explained to Sima An and the generals of the Dangshan Army: "The other party may have temporarily retreated and rested. ”
Hearing this, Wen Xu frowned and asked, "Is it really impossible to go and sneak attack?" ”
Wu Wu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about it, this general, do you know that the cavalry of the Qian tribe retreated in that direction to rest?" ”
As soon as the words fell, including Wen Xu, the generals of the Dangshan Army were speechless.
It has to be said that this is the advantage of the nomadic cavalry, who have no logistical burden, when facing a mixed army of peasant peoples: when they temporarily retreat to rest, it is almost impossible to find the traces of the other side, and naturally, there is no way to talk about a sneak attack.
If you reluctantly send troops at night and forcibly attack the other side, not only will it be difficult to get anything to gain, but on the other hand, the army sent out may be eaten by the other side.
However, to the surprise of the generals of the Dangshan Army, the next morning, the advance cavalry of the Qiang tribe did not appear under the low hill on time, as Wu Wu said, and it was not until the afternoon that the group slowly approached this low hill.
At the same time, General Ma Lu, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the water level of the stream, found that the water potential of the stream was much lower than yesterday, and there seemed to be some strange smell mixed in the stream.
After hearing the news, Wu Wu immediately reminded the generals of the Dangshan Army.
"The water of this stream is no longer drinkable. …… As to why you can't drink it anymore, you won't want to hear why. ”
Later, when the Dangshan Army, with the assistance of the Shang Shui Army, annihilated this advance cavalry of the Qiang tribe, they realized why Wuwu reminded them not to drink the water of the river stream a few days ago.
It turned out that the advance cavalry of the Qiang tribe not only blocked the stream with trees, rocks and other objects, but also polluted the stream with a large amount of their feces and the feces of their mounts under the "dam".
As a result, the advance cavalry of the Qiang tribe could still obtain high-quality water upstream of the "dam", while the Dangshan army could only get some insignificant, polluted water.
This slightly smelly water doesn't look like it's drinkable.
And this is also one of the tactics used by the Qiang people, besieging the enemy army and cutting off its water source! (To be continued.) )
