In this case, the commander, military division, fierce generals, etc. get together to form the top level of the legion, so as to be able to cope with such a situation and ensure that no obvious shortcomings are broken by the other party.

With the emergence of a large number of talents, the population base and the number of troops are only such a scale after all.

Although Bao Hong's situation that has begun to be slightly bloated is not too much, it is unlikely that a simple handsome, military advisor, or fierce general can lead the troops alone. Because when you meet a type that can restrain them, it's easy to be hanged.

"That being said, it's more important to rely on everyone to cooperate with each other to achieve such an effect. It is impossible to count on how many generalists there are. At least we don't have any talent for commanding at all, so it's better to follow the commander-in-chief to give advice! Chen Ping said with a smile.

"But then again, we also have to choose the right direction for him based on his strengths. After all, man's energy is limited, and wasting too much time in terms of his secondary talents limits his own development! However, Li Zuoche put forward another opinion at this time.

Of course, what Li Zuoche said is another matter.

The matter here is originally some dialectical topic, and it can be said that it makes sense from any angle.

On the one hand, the all-round is of course the best. But the all-round depends on how you play. To exaggerate, even if you have many specialties, you can only do one thing at a time, right?

On the other hand, you don't have to spend too much energy on other aspects for the sake of omnipotence, resulting in the waste of what you are best at.

Therefore, what Li Zuoche and they are doing now is also prevention rather than cultivation. It is to develop Xue Li's ability to deal with intrigues and tricks, rather than cultivating their ability to perform intrigues and tricks, and the gap here is very large.

Fundamentally, having everyone recite "The Hundred Battles" is to prevent them from having strategic problems when fighting with their soldiers.

In the same way, if the "Thirty-six Strategies" can be written down, then it is basically not easy to have problems in the face of ordinary intrigues and tricks.

However, at this level, it can only be regarded as having the ability to be prepared, as for what to say to integrate and practice, become the active party, set traps or set tricks, that is another level of problems, at least we need to study those obscure and difficult military books.

As he was talking, the guards had already brought Xue Rengui and the others over.

"Meet the General!"

"Meet the gentlemen!"

Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong, Yang Zaixing, Guan Sheng and others stepped forward to greet them.

"It's okay, come and sit!" Bao Hong greeted with a smile.

"General, is there any action?"

The generals were not seen, and naturally sat down in turn.

After all, this is a hall in the city, and it is not a big tent or a hall for orders, so tables and chairs are naturally placed, which is relatively casual.

"Here's the thing!" Bao Hong smiled and talked about what everyone discussed.

"Eh, I was going to be ready to fight a defensive battle, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to take the initiative?" When Xue Rengui heard this, he said with a smile, obviously a little surprised by this matter.

"It's the news that the scouts have just come back, which shows the intelligence of Peng Pet's army, and after our research, we decided to take the initiative." Bao Hong smiled and said, "What do you think? ”

"The general gives an order, and we will do our best to serve our lives!"

The generals did not express their opinions directly, but only expressed their allegiance.

"That's it!" Bao Hong waved his hand and said with a smile, "I naturally don't doubt that you are serving this, but in terms of the feasibility of this battle, from the perspective of your actual combat, are there any problems?" ”

"General Qiyu, the last general thinks that the main force of the Chinese army is not suitable to cover up after the cavalry brigade." Xue Rengui opened his mouth and proposed, "It's just a cavalry, follow the front team to set off, it is not easy to cause too much chaos, but if our Chinese army follows the night into the battle and is rushed by the chaotic army of the Yellow Turban, I am afraid that I may not be able to maintain the formation, and may even cause its own commotion, not only will it not achieve the expected effect, but it may be a mess!" ”

Bao Hong was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't pay attention to what Xue Rengui said, after all, with his experience, he also said that among various war descriptions such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", night battles are very common.

However, in reality, under normal circumstances, dark night is a very troublesome thing for the army, the traditional army does not fight at night, needs to rest, pull up a cordon around, set up passwords and sentry posts, and the infantry company must set up a position on duty to prevent the enemy from sneak attack.

Unlike the present in ancient times, there is a lack of controllable light sources. Unless the visibility of the moon is slightly better, the stars in the sky will inevitably reach out and not see the five fingers, even if the torch is raised, if the distance is a little farther, it will not work.

Under these conditions, the ancient army did not have night vision equipment, backward command means, and lacked professional quality, and did not support large-scale night warfare at all. During the day, the marches and battles were scattered, and it was even more difficult to count on the night battles, and the basic generals could not effectively control the troops when they left the camp gate, and the probability of their own men cutting each other in a melee with the enemy was not lower than that of the enemy, and in addition to the casualties of trampling on each other and falling into the ravine, the battle loss ratio was not cost-effective.

So in general, it was extremely difficult for the ancient army to organize night battles, there were many night blindness, and the troops were also easily disoriented and caused chaos by themselves, even in modern times, the armies of various countries tried to avoid night battles.

What is more feasible is to assemble a small number of elite troops, and under the guarantee of effective command and strict military discipline, carry out night harassment and surprise attacks, causing great chaos to the enemy.

That is what Xue Rengui said, it is most reliable to send iron cavalry to rush and kill, as for letting the main army follow together, it will be a bit of a pitfall.

In fact, everyone knows very well what the role of the iron cavalry rushing into the Yellow Turban camp is nothing more than to cause internal strife on the other side.

As for whether the Iron Cavalry can achieve the desired effect, there is no doubt about this, and everyone knows the result of the Iron Cavalry after entering the formation.

Ancient armies not only lacked the ability to fight at night, but even during the night station, they could also riot for no reason. There is another proper noun for this: Yingxiao.

In the face of ruthless superiors and murderous enemy troops, the nerves of the military camp, especially in the wartime barracks, from generals to soldiers, were highly tense.

This extraordinary tension and depression may be triggered by an exclamation of a soldier in his sleep, or the instant detonation of a certain weapon's miss, causing a catastrophic chain reaction, the general completely loses control of the army, and the nervousness is coupled with the fear of the night, and the soldier runs around, tramples, and slashes, causing a lot of losses. Therefore, during the night stationing of the ancient army, they were immediately executed for making noise, running, and singing.

Therefore, even if there is no main force of the army, and there are iron cavalry into the formation, it can basically cause a strong riot on the other side. Ying Xiao can also be said that the so-called bombing of the camp is an inevitable thing.

Whenever we fight the enemy at night, we must make great use of the light of fire and the sound of drums, so as to disturb the enemy's hearing and hearing, so that it does not know what strategy to adopt to defend our army. In this way, victory can be achieved. As the Art of War says, "In night battles, use the light of fire and the sound of drums (to confuse the enemy)." ”

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yue State attacked the Wu State, and the Wu army defended it with Kasawa and confronted the Yue army across the water. Goujian, the king of Yue, organized part of the forces of the Yue army into two armies, left and right, and staggered forward by beating drums and shouting in the darkness of the night, while Wu Wangfu divided his troops into defense. As a result, the prince of Yue led the main force of the Chinese army, quietly crossed Kaze, and went straight to the main force of the Wu army and beat the drum to attack, the Wu army was in chaos, and the Yue army defeated the Wu army in one fell swoop.

Although these things illustrate the harmfulness of bombing the camp, they also illustrate a truth, that is, the contagiousness of the commotion.

Obviously, when the camp is built, it is definitely not unprepared. On the one hand, they are interconnected, and on the other hand, they are also one by one, and if it weren't for the contagiousness of the camp roar, maybe it would have been suppressed in minutes.

Therefore, if the main force of the army led by Xue Li is thrown into the battlefield too early, then it is likely that not only will it not be able to achieve the desired effect, but it will involve itself. Infected by the atmosphere of the riot, I couldn't keep my composure and trapped myself in it.

Of course, then again. If it is killed at a more opportune time, it will be a different matter, and to exaggerate, it will be able to start recruiting prisoners without bloodshed.

It can be said that the more well-trained the army, the better it can gain the upper hand in night battles. This is also the reason why many military advisors have raised this.

On the other hand, it cannot be said that Li Zuoche and the others ignored this problem, after all, with the development of the military, the matter of night warfare should also develop slowly. Although it is said that after thousands of years, the whole development is not bad.

Then it can be said that Li Zuoche's attitude towards this matter will only be more rigorous, not negligent. Therefore, Li Zuoche did not specifically raise it, but only this detailed operation problem, which will naturally be raised when the time comes.

But then again, what they were thinking about was not a matter of night raids, but issues involving the expansion of the results of the pursuit after the previous night raid on the battalion had already taken effect.

The so-called pursuit battle means that after the victory of the battle, if the winning side still has the remaining strength, the pursuit battle will be carried out. By and large this pursuit will only go a short distance, unless the enemy is indeed completely routed and there are no reinforcements. But a wise and bold commander can often chase down the enemy without being defeated.

In the military holy book "Sun Tzu: Military Struggle", it is said: "Don't force the poor, this method of using soldiers is also." ”

In units with poor morale, their soldiers often regard saving their lives as the first priority, so they can easily collapse at the first touch of a battle when they start a battle, and as a result, they are chased and intercepted by the victorious side, forming a situation of "poor men." But if they are surrounded by death on all sides, then their initial "life-saving" will not be achieved, and in despair, they will inevitably turn to fight to the death, "killing one is enough, killing two to earn one", and they will still be a good man after 20 years! Anyway, it's all death, and if you don't fight to kill a few enemies before you die, you'll lose! In this state of mind, even the most cowardly people will be infected by this arrogance and become a hot-blooded man who is not afraid of death!

In contrast, the victor will win only when the morale of the victor is high at the beginning of the war, and everyone will follow the example of death. But there will be a period of low morale after that, because the soldiers know that the hardest battles have been survived, and it will not be easy to survive, and no one wants to be hung up in a small finishing battle such as the pursuit of poor men. Therefore, if the remnants of the enemy suddenly turn around and kill desperately, they will often pay a large number of casualties in fear, even more than at the beginning of the battle!

From another angle, it is natural to worry about what ambush design the other party will have, relatively speaking, as long as you can grasp this degree, you will naturally be invincible, and there will be no problems due to excessive pursuit.

Of course, there is another utterly unused sentence that is said by a famous contemporary military strategist -- it is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining courage.

This is not simply the need to dialectically distinguish whether the theory of the sage is more powerful or the theory of the great man is more powerful, but it can also be said that the current theory of the art of war of Bao Hong's army or the theory of art and Taoism mentioned earlier.

Obviously, if you learn the theory to a high enough level, then it doesn't matter if your idea is correct or mine.

Because for them, they can use it well, and even the application angles such as forward, reverse, and positive and negative staggering can be used freely.

However, from the perspective of basic education, for the teaching of the art of war in the popular generals' schools, I said earlier when I talked about "The Strategy of a Hundred Battles" that "The Strategy of a Hundred Battles" is not "The Art of War", not to teach any military wizards, but to teach a group of generals who will not make too many mistakes and have solid theoretical knowledge.

So, put the problem on ordinary generals, in this case, should they choose to chase after Poor Kou Mo or consider chasing after victory?

Martial arts is that sentence, for ordinary generals, 'do not seek merit but seek no fault', what you want is not to be amazing, how whimsical and so on, the most important thing is to be stable.

On the other hand, it is true that the pursuit of victory is to expand the results of the battle, but the technique of retreat is also exquisite, and it is easy to suffer losses if you do not know what to do.

Generally, a successful retreat occurs before the battle has begun, and once the battle has begun, it is difficult to retreat with all its might. The most effective retreat is the alternate retreat method. That is, when the troops closest to the enemy retreated, the troops behind them remained in combat condition. After the retreating army has retreated through the rear of the combat army and changed into a combat formation, the combat army retreats backwards. And so on and so forth.

Of course, in general, the retreating side will most of the time suffer greater losses. But it's not a good thing to ignore the victory at all.

From an overall point of view, it can be said that considering that the generals do not have enough ability to judge what the consequences will be after the pursuit, it is better to chase after the poor Koumo. Waiting for the manager's arrangement.

So from the perspective of universality, there is no doubt that the low-end is more suitable for the public. The high-end ones are reserved for the superheroes.

Of course, here the military divisions have already judged the situation and know that the other side will not have reinforcements, coupled with the quality of the other party's soldiers, if they really want to bomb the battalion, they will definitely kneel. It is impossible to pretend to bomb the camp and set up a conspiracy. The quality of other people's soldiers is there, and if you want to pretend to have that bit of military quality, it will turn into a fake show every minute, and it will be completely chaotic.
