Pei Gai was hit by an arrow on the side of his neck, and immediately made an "oops" sound, and fell backwards, but fortunately, he had stirrups tied to his feet and did not fall. The subordinates rushed to the rescue, Pei Cai struggled to straighten his waist, sat down again, and reached out to touch the side of his neck - the arrow was full of strength, it actually penetrated the collar of the basin and went straight into the neck, but fortunately its momentum had weakened and it was not deep in the flesh.

But the neck was covered with blood. Pei Gai gritted his teeth and struggled to pull the arrow out, squinting at it, the blood was still flowing, but it was not marked outward-it could be seen that the carotid artery was not injured.

There is a trilogy holding a white scarf in both hands and pleading: "The Governor of the Metropolis, please dismount, and let the villain be wrapped in the Governor of the Metropolis." ”

Pei Cai pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to pull the white scarf, covered the wound, but said in his mouth: "The thief is still there, I will neither retreat nor dismount!" Then he raised his voice and shouted: "If I don't die, I will kill all the thieves!" ”

Isn't Bae afraid of death? Whenever the arrow passed by his ear, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and his facial muscles trembled, which was human instinct. But he knew that if he retreated, it would inevitably affect his morale, even if the original camp could not be defended, he could carry it for a few more minutes with him. In these years, he has managed a huge territory and trained such a strong army, if he purely uses the methods of this era, it will not work at all, and if he applies the methods of later generations, there is also a risk of being unsuitable for the soil and water, resulting in exhaustion. For a moment, he even thought: "I have tampered with history beyond recognition, even if it is hung up, there will be no regrets." ”

As I said in the past - "If things are not in harmony, the will of heaven will not be violated, or the country will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed, or the country will be destroyed and the body will die-but I would rather die first, and I can't bear to see the death of China!" "China will not die, I will not know if I die; But as long as there is still a breath of air, how can you bear to see this hard-trained army completely collapse in front of your eyes?!

He was indeed a little afraid, if that arrow went a little deeper, or missed a little bit in the middle of the main artery, he estimated that he would be here today. Even if he does not die, as long as he falls, his morale will suffer a heavy setback, and the collapse of the whole army is imminent. So the more critical this kind of juncture, the more you can't retreat, and once you retreat, it's all over!

In the fierce battlefield, people's blood will involuntarily boil, and it is easy to look down on life and death. Pei Caixin said what if I die? Zu Ti is still here, Luoyang is restored, and the day will come when the day will be changed. Even if I am killed by an arrow, I will be famous for eternity, but if the army is defeated and flees, can I guarantee that I will definitely escape? If I am killed by an arrow in the back, even if the historian does not say anything about this stain, I will not be able to get over the hurdles in my own heart!

Oh, if I die, it doesn't matter what happens. However, if Hu Kou catches up with him when he is defeated and escapes, he has to commit suicide by himself, how aggrieved it is!

No matter, I won't retreat, I won't escape, and from today's battle, whether God is against changing history, and whether he has the character of the protagonist.

Pei Gai stood proudly and did not retreat, which did add three points of courage to the Jin army, and coupled with the repeated attacks of the Hu soldiers on the Jin base, it soon became the end of the strong crossbow.

Tao Kan said that the fortress could not be defended, and he insisted on going to war because he came in a hurry, and he was forced to fight by Liu Cang for several days, and he had no time and energy to build fortifications - even if he had the energy, the soldiers did not have the physical strength - it was really difficult to be a strong soldier to trample on. But the barracks are barracks after all, and ditches and mounds can still play a certain protective role.

Although the number of Hu troops was large, they took turns to launch fierce attacks, there was a battle before noon, and in the afternoon, they continued to fight, and their physical strength generally declined faster than that of the Jin army, and finally Liu Cang even transferred Liu Ji's exhausted soldiers and horses, but they were only one line away, and they could not break through the Jin base, and the number of casualties rose sharply. All the generals persuaded that it was better to stop the army for the time being, so that they could rest for one night, and fight again in the coming day, and they would break the base. Liu Cang said: "He knows that he can't defend the base, but he doesn't dare to retreat." If I quit here, Pei should escape tonight! ”

Wang Yan persuaded and said: "If Pei should escape, our army can smoothly go down to the level and ravage the land of Jin." And if you don't count the casualties, regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers, even if you break the base, you may not be able to move forward, Your Highness thinks twice. ”

Wang Teng, the general of the right chariot cavalry, also said: "You can rest for a while, click on the fine cavalry, wait for the enemy to escape tonight, and then go to chase and kill, and you can get a big profit." Why should Your Highness be in a hurry? ”

Liu Cang was still hesitant, and suddenly reported that Hu Yanshi, the general of Dangjin, was hit by a stray arrow when attacking the Jin base, and the damage was very deep, and the main protector of the department was anxious, and he had all been defeated and retreated. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Liu Cang had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Hearing the sound of the gong on the other side, Pei Gai felt that his whole body instantly softened. Only then did he let the tribe support him and dismount, and ordered the doctor to come to clean and wrap the wound. Tao Kan rode his horse and said to Pei Gai: "You must retreat tonight, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out." Pei Cai asked him: "The enemy will come to chase him, what can I do?" Tao Kan replied: "It can make Liu Yetang break off." ”

So on the evening of the same day, the Jin army quietly withdrew from the camp and retreated in the direction of Haoyang. Liu Cang sent Wang Teng to lead 2,000 cavalry to chase, and he had just stepped through the Jin base, when suddenly there was a sound of drums in the camp, and then random arrows were fired......

Tao Kan ordered Liu Yetang to lead his troops to lurk in the camp in advance, and took care of him and said: "If Hu Kou sends an infantry army to come, it is to seize my base, and the general can retreat quickly." If you send a cavalry army, you will chase me, or if you don't have time to examine the camp, the general will get up and fight. ”

After the Jin people left the troops and broke off, it was reasonable, Wang Teng was also vigilant, but he led the troops to gallop close to the Jin base, but there was no sound in the camp, so he was negligent - either no one broke the rear at all, or the soldiers and horses were not located here after the break. He was in a hurry to catch up with Pei Gai, and before he could investigate carefully, he passed through the camp, but was copied by Liu Yetang.

The key point is that this place is not very far from Haoyang City, it is more than 20 miles, if the Jin army is not fatal, it is estimated that they will be able to escape into the city as soon as dawn. And although he commanded the cavalry, he was not familiar with geography after all, and the war horse could not run fast in the dark sky, so what if he couldn't catch up?

Because of this, Wang Teng was attacked by Liu Yetang from behind, first with a bow and crossbow, and then with a spear, Hu Shi was defeated. Liu Cang heard the movement ahead, and hurriedly sent troops and horses to help, but he was no longer in a hurry, and Liu Yetang also led his troops to return south in a hurry after defeating Wang Teng. He ran out of five miles, and then encountered the second broken army led by Dong Biao, and heard that Hu's soldiers were still far away, so they retreated side by side.

This time, Pei Gai fled before the whole army, and took the lead in entering Haoyang City under the escort of the troops, and did not rest, and immediately arranged the city guards.

Immediately, Tao Kan entered the city, came to see Pei Gai, and asked for guilt: "The governor of the capital, Fu Kan, is in charge of the whole of Yuhu, and today he is defeated, and Kan's crime is also, please please." ”

Although Pei Gai was in the army, he knew that his ability to control was far from being comparable to Tao Shixing, so he just climbed the tower to watch the battle, and the specific command was still unreservedly entrusted to Tao Kan. It's just that Tao Kan said that it was time to withdraw, but Pei Cai asked him to hold on for two more days, which is equivalent to a military constraint.

But Tao Shixing is a shrewd person, coupled with a gentle personality, he has always been reluctant to offend Shangguan - in the original history, Wang Dun degraded him as the assassin of Jiaozhou, he took office without saying a word, and he did not have a hard top like Zhou Visit-lest Pei should be in a bad mood and blame himself too much, so it is better for me to correct my attitude and ask for guilt.

Pei Cai hurriedly stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around Tao Kan's shoulders and said: "The defeat during the day is beyond strength, and if it is not for Tao Jun's command, what is the crime?" And Tao Jun told me a long time ago that the sergeant is tired and it is difficult to fight again, and if he returns to the base, he will be defeated. I don't listen to Tao Jun's words, and even this, the fault is mine, Tao Jun is fortunate not to blame himself. ”

In fact, the defeat and retreat of Haoyang cannot be said to be Pei Gai's responsibility - even if Tao Kan said that he wanted to retreat, he could not evacuate the Hu army in broad daylight, and he needed to stay up until the evening. But Pei should have taken all the responsibilities directly, because he always felt that it was a very dirty thing for the superior to push the responsibility to his subordinates. Since I have entrusted you with carte bliac, I should trust you unconditionally, and even if there is a mistake, it is first of all my fault that I do not know. Besides, the only person who can take charge of his subordinates is Tao Shixing, and if he has a dislike because of a small defeat, he will not be able to make it.

Immediately pulled Tao Kan to sit side by side on the couch, Pei Gai smiled and said: "I came upstairs two days to watch Tao Jun use the army, and I benefited a lot, and a little setback is not enough to hurt." ”

Tao Kan was very interested, so he echoed and asked: "I was about to ask Da Sima, what are the teachings of Yu Kanzhi's use of soldiers?" ”

Pei should say that there are no teachings - "Tao Jun is a famous general in the world, and he uses soldiers like Sun and Wu, but there are also today's mistakes, which shows that the cloud soldiers are impermanent, and the saints have to use them as a last resort, etc., are good words." There are two benefits for me, one is that there are good generals and sharp pawns, and there are sharp pawns who can defeat, and I am not victorious now, and I am not a bad general, and the actual soldiers are not brave and sharp, so it is also ......"

Since the Battle of Dali, Pei Jun has hardly encountered any strong opponents, which has led to arrogance in the army, and Pei Cai, as the commander, has been somewhat affected. He will even think that as long as I have enough food and materials, relying on the tens of thousands of elite soldiers I have trained, I can take the world - the reason why I still allow you Liu Cong, father and son, and Shi Le's uncle and nephew to wreak havoc is not that I can't beat you, it's just because I don't have enough food.

However, as I have seen in the past two days, the bravery of the Hu army is not under his own army, and even if he fights the enemy in the same number, he has no 100% chance of winning, not to mention the lack of troops? The main nomads often play small on the horse, shoot wolves, compared to those who have just put down the hoe not long after the Jin people, the natural fighting quality is high, even if the upper class of Tu Ge and the Southern Xiongnu has been semi-Sinicized, the courage of the middle and lower classes has not faded, the fierce flame has not been removed, it can not be too lightly despise.

In the past, Pei Gai was also faintly vigilant, he couldn't think of the enemy too simply, and he had to pay attention to the enemy tactically - otherwise, Zu Tizhi was too Taokan, why couldn't he take a step forward after stopping south of the river for many years in the original history?

Shi Legu is the master of the world, but in history, there was a considerable chance factor in his defeat of Liu Yao; Liu Yao was able to usurp Hu Han, purely because Jin Zhun was in trouble, not necessarily Liu Cong, Liu Cang and his son were far inferior to Liu Yao. So is it appropriate that he only attaches importance to Shi Le, but despises Pingyang Liu?

Think about the battle of Yanshi, Liu Cang escaped first, and he had the help of his ancestors to defeat Liu Fu; Thinking about the battle of Dali again, Liu Yao's leaders were mostly Di and Qiang, rather than the elite of Tu Ge and Xiongnu. You can't just because you have defeated Liu Fu and Liu Yao, so you don't take Liu Cang in your eyes.

Originally, these vague thoughts, after carefully observing the battle in the past two days, and even retreating from Haoyang, completely flooded his heart, making Pei Gai deeply afraid.

When Tao Kan heard this, he said: "The iron must be forged to become a hammer, and the pawn must be tempered before it can become an army." Our army is really a powerful force in the world, but the expansion of the army has been too rapid in the past few years, and even plummeted - Don't worry too much about it. And today's army, compared to the troops led by Kan in the past, is no different from a tiger than a lamb. ”

Pei Gai nodded and continued: "My second gain, above the battle array, the situation is changing rapidly, and it is necessary to command and dispatch properly. That is, in terms of daytime, as soon as a flaw is revealed between the center and the right, Hu will take advantage of the void to enter, and it can be seen that Lu Yan and Dong Biao are not as good as Qiao Tai Far ......"

In fact, more importantly, fighting a war is not a game, and when the military situation changes, it is impossible to give you time for a long exam, and even if you have time to consider, you may not be able to schedule it in time. Soldiers are not pawns, because various constraints - including communications, morale, etc. - cannot follow orders and execute them completely at a glance. Therefore, military affairs is not only a science, but also an art, and it really can't be achieved without a little talent.

It is said that a strong organizational force can make the entire army like an arm to an elbow and a wrist to a finger, but that is only a good wish, and in the actual operation process, no matter how organized the army is, the action may be delayed.

Tao Kan responded: "Kan is not presumptuous, Da Sima Yuan is from the camp governors, only Liu Yetang and Zhen Sui can be the side, and the rest are ordinary people, then Qiao Tai is Hu's general, Lu Yan and others are still immature, so it is naturally difficult to reach." ”

Pei Gai asked him: "In time, can you become a talent?" ”

Tao Kan thought for a while and replied: "If you stop leading a battalion, you can be a good general." "It means that those few people will stop here, and it is unlikely that they will make further progress, even if they lead five or six thousand less than ten thousand people through long-term exercise, they can barely apply.

Pei Gai couldn't help frowning, and sighed: "Talent is rare...... and then asked Tao Kan: "In your opinion, how many soldiers can I have?" ”

Tao Kan replied: "Da Sima Dan will be a general, why should he be a general?" ”

Pei Gai smiled and asked, "If Tao Jun is like Tao, how much can you do?" ”

Tao Kan arched his hand and replied: "Kan dare not say 'the more the merrier'......"

This is an allusion to Han Shin. Liu Bang once asked the generals, how many soldiers can I bring? Han Xin said that His Majesty could only command 100,000 soldiers. Liu Bang asked, what about you? Han Xin replied: "The more ministers, the better. "I have no upper limit on commanding troops, I can manage as many people as I want, and I can win battles. Liu Bang laughed and said Since you are so capable, why were you captured by me? Han Xin replied: "Your Majesty can't be a general, but a good general will ......."

Tao Kan said that I don't dare to compare myself with Han Xin, and I can't command too many soldiers and horses, but he doesn't dare to say that I can lead 100,000 people, which is equivalent to comparing myself to Han Gaozu. He said to Pei Gai, "Da Sima but will be able to do it", because as a ruling country, as long as the comparison is not clear, it will not be taboo to compare Pei to Liu Bang.

Pei Gai said with a smile: "The 100,000 commanded by Henkel are all peasant soldiers, and the good and the bad are uneven. I hope that Tao Jun will be able to send 100,000 regular troops to the world for me one day! ”
