After receiving Huangfu Song's reply, Guo Bin hurriedly opened it.

Although the words in the letter are quite vague, combined with Guo Da's description of what he saw and heard in the city, everyone knows that because of the siege of the 200,000 troops of the Yellow Turbans, the pressure on the 40,000 officers and soldiers in the city is very great. Fortunately, there is plenty of food and grass in the city, and with the help of local wealthy families, there is no problem in holding on to the city.

After circulating the letter, Guo Bin spoke: "Let's talk about it, according to the current comparison of enemy and enemy forces, how should our army respond?" ”

It was Xi Zhicai who spoke first and said: "Although the official army is under siege, there is no big problem. One is that the Yellow Turban Army is not well trained and does not know how to cooperate with scheduling; Second, although the city of Changshe is not high, and although the pool is not deep, it is as stable as Mount Tai against the Yellow Turban Army, which lacks siege technology and equipment; Third, the Yellow Turban Army is not strict in besieging the city, although the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, there can also be a steady stream of grain and grass outside the city to fund the army, but those who can worry about it will rob the grain in the Yellow Turban Army; The four Zuo Zhonglang generals have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are old generals, and they will be able to restrain the army and prevent chaos in the city. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded secretly, and their originally slightly tense expressions slowed down a lot.

Seeing this, Guo Bin sighed secretly in his heart: "It is worthy of being a drama talent, and you can see through the essence of things at a glance." The morale of the army in the city is low, and among the 700 people under our own command, except for the 100 special soldiers who are accustomed to seeing big battles, who has seen the battalion of 200,000 troops stretching for dozens of miles, isn't it strong to calm down? It was his subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were also frowning. There is self-confidence, but after all, there is a huge difference in the military strength of the two sides, and Zhang Fei also began to think about his soldiers. ”

If there are only three people, Guo Bin, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the world is so big, you can go anywhere. With the kung fu of the three of them, the blades in their hands will dance, and with their far beyond ordinary people's induction, that is, someone can use a crossbow to cast a cold arrow, and they can also be removed, and at worst, they can avoid the vital point. The weapons of the three are known for being long and heavy, and with the powerful impact of the war horses, as long as they are not besieged by well-armed pikemen, they are unstoppable.

But now that the three of them have 700 sergeants under their command, they can't just care about themselves, and don't care about the lives of their men. Zhang Fei has been serving Guo Bin for half a year, and he is mostly influenced by Guo Bin's tactical thinking, and he has also begun to pay attention to the sergeants under him, and he no longer looks like a standard martial arts idiot before.

Because the tactical thinking advocated by Guo Bin is Zeng Guofan's: "Harden the village and fight a dumb battle". The battle loss rate of soldiers has also become an important indicator for evaluating a general. is the final victory, if the battle loss rate is too large, you will also be reprimanded by Guo Bin. For this battle loss rate, Zhang Fei was reprimanded a lot.

Because during weekday training, Guo Bin often organizes generals to lead a group of men and horses to conduct confrontation exercises. Compared with Guan Yu's habit of using his brain and using tactics to fight, Zhang Fei looked stunned, and often rushed to the front alone regardless of it.

Therefore, Guan Yu sent more than 20 sergeants to form a formation to contain him, and he led the army to make dumplings for everyone under Zhang Fei. There are troops who command and those who do not, and those who listen to command and those who do not, and the difference between them is one in the sky and one in the ground. Therefore, after Guan Yu captured Zhang Fei's sergeants, Zhang Fei was still there to fight with more than 20 sergeants.

Here I have to talk about Chen Zhi's training method.

If it is said that the set of training methods brought by Guo Bin is specifically for training soldiers' discipline, then Chen Zhi's training method is based on making use of their discipline to improve their combat capability. It has brutally improved the combat ability of a group of recruits.

It is indeed extremely important to communicate with others, and the collision of ideas often produces unexpected qualitative changes.

Unlike Guo Bin, who rigidly used a set of methods from the PLA recruit camp in later generations to train troops, Chen Zhi integrated a series of contents that Guo Bin taught to the army, which produced the effect of one plus one being greater than two, and made the combat effectiveness of the troops under Guo Bin's command qualitatively improved.

First of all, he turned the habit of running in the morning in Fulong Villa into a system in the recruit camp, as long as it was in the camp, from him to himself, down to the pawns in the army, everyone had to participate in the morning run. This kind of morning run is different from the chaotic morning run in Fulong Villa, where Chen Zhi asked the soldiers to line up and follow the number of 121. This strengthens discipline and eliminates those in the team who really can't keep up with the pace.

Secondly, the training content has also been adjusted. The morning training was a training session for the formation of the queue, and there was no doubt that this was also to improve the discipline of the team. In the afternoon, there is marksmanship training. This marksmanship is the PLA stabbing method that Guo Bin taught to the first batch of sergeants when he first arrived in Guijing. This stabbing technique is easy to learn and practice, and it is very easy to learn, making it very suitable for recruit training. On this basis, Chen Zhi also blended the kung fu taught by Hua Tuo to Guo Da and several others, and added it to the training of graded combined attacks and mutual cooperation.

Hua Tuo is indeed worthy of a generation of martial arts masters, this set of methods is not only easy to learn, but also amazingly useful. Trained soldiers can be used as squads to resist enemy forces that are twice as numerous as their own under the command of the squad leader. Even a general riding a tall horse can delay. If the enemy is too strong, form a formation with several squads and cooperate together. In the extreme test, as long as thirty well-trained soldiers cooperated with each other, they could withstand the attack of Zhang Fei, the "10,000 enemies".

Seeing such results, Guo Bin almost jumped up excitedly. If all the soldiers under his command have this strength, it will be really great. However, the treatment and equipment of the soldiers in Yangzhai County were even better than those of the low-ranking officers in the imperial court, so it was also a great pressure on the finances. Fortunately, the industries under Guo Bin's name can be called gold-absorbing monsters in this era, and an army of thousands of people can still afford to raise them. Even so, Guo Bin can only take the route of elite soldiers, and the kind of business that often involves hundreds of thousands of troops is really not suitable for him.

At this time, I only listened to Guo Jiadao: "Judging from the current situation, the official army is bound to win a big victory and restore morale, which is the top priority." Otherwise, I am afraid that in the long run, I am afraid that it will become more and more unbearable for a war. ”

Everyone fell silent, and a big victory was naturally a good way to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers, but Guo Bin only had 700 cavalry, which was too far from the 200,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army in terms of numbers. Although Guo Bin's subordinates are generally well-equipped, have strict military discipline, and have sufficient training, but there are many ants that bite and kill elephants, and it is a problem for such a large Yellow Turban Army battalion to speak! Once you fall into the camp and lose the mobility advantage of the cavalry, I am afraid that it will not take long to be dragged to death by the Yellow Turban Army, and then it will be like grinding grain with stones, and the cavalry will be consumed little by little. At that time, even if there is a heart in the city to save them, there is nothing they can do.

Guo Bin, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others may be able to enter and exit without hindrance, but the little money under them will be exhausted. If it really comes to this point, I am afraid that the army in the city will see the reinforcements being wiped out with their own eyes, and the cowardice in their hearts will become stronger, and the chain reaction that will follow will be uncontrollable.

War is like this, every small change can trigger a total collapse of the army. Therefore, both sides of the war must be cautious and tread on thin ice to ensure that they do not leak flaws. However, this is the most ideal state, and mistakes on both sides of the war will inevitably occur, which depends on the tactical sense of the commanders on both sides, to see whether their own troops can seize the enemy's small mistakes, tear them apart, expand, and then slowly snowball, make it the enemy's lifeline, and then seize the opportunity to give it a fatal blow.

This is what the Art of War says: "First for oneself is invincible, and then the enemy is invincible." You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. ”

In the previous battle of Yangzhai, Guo Bin used this method to seize the inconvenience of the Yellow Turban Army to transport grain and grass by land, first burned the east wharf, and then set up a camp on the dirt mountain next to the stone bridge, using himself as a bait to lure He Man to attack. Then he took advantage of his mistake in estimating his own strength to create the illusion that Guo Bin's troops were all in the village, and then seized the opportunity of the Yellow Turban Army's camp to guard the emptiness, and then used cavalry to burn the grain and grass in his camp. In this way, step by step, the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army attacking Yangzhai County was forced into a desperate situation where the grain and grass were cut off, so that it had to seek a decisive battle as soon as possible.

In this way, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this great battle, which was called the "Yangzhai Defense Battle" by later history books, reversed the balance of strength between the two sides at this time. Although the strength of the Yellow Turban Army was far superior to that of the Yang Zhai defenders, the morale of the army was fluctuating, and the soldiers were already at a disadvantage. In the words of "the first gold medal lecturer in Hong Kong and Macao in the province", the Yellow Turban Army is already "Shi Lezhi" at this time.

Then Guo Bin took advantage of He Man's anxiety and regarded Jia Ren's tunnel plan as the last straw loophole, and used the information provided by the double agent Wu Yi to make Zhao Yun arrange an ambush in advance, and when the elite of the five hundred Yellow Turban Army came out of the tunnel, he would capture them.

And capturing He Man alive on the battlefield has a lot of luck in it.

It's not that Guo Bin's kung fu is much higher than He Man's, if you want to talk about real kung fu, Guo Bin and Zhang Fei are on par. Zhang Feisheng is more powerful, while Guo Bin is better than his inner kung fu. Guo Bin was originally amazingly powerful, and after learning crane opera, he knew how to use his strength. Not only is the breath longer, but when used in the Xuanlong grab, it is more and more listening.

The so-called listening strength is very similar to the common "Tai Chi pusher". As soon as the two people put their hands together, they turned around each other, listening to when and in what direction the other party exerted force. Once you hear correctly, you can jump the opponent to the ground. Although this is not an authentic internal kung fu, it is also the basic kung fu of unloading capacity.

On that day, Guo Bin and He Man's guns intersected, and everyone didn't hear the sound, not because they did any magic, but because Guo Bin's Xuanlong Gun didn't use his strength, but just gently pasted the Xuanlong Gun on it. Although He Man's divine power is amazing, if he is simply working hard, then no one is afraid, but he doesn't know anything about kung fu in the inner family. Therefore, Guo Bin put the Xuanlong spear up, tried out the strength on He Man's stick, and took advantage of the momentum to shake off He Man's long stick, making his chest empty. When he couldn't defend him, Guo Bin swiped his spear and shot him off his horse. Then he turned around and returned his pistol to restrain him.

This was the whole process of Guo Binsheng's capture of He Man. Although it was complicated to say, it was only a matter of moments at the time. Guo Bin even used the method of throwing the gun that he learned from the blue-robed monster at the beginning, so he did his best in this battle.

And just when everyone was at a loss because of the huge difference in the military strength between themselves and the Yellow Turbans, they only heard Guan Yu say: "Lord, since our army is a cavalry, it is natural to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry. The so-called enemy retreats and we advance, and the enemy is stationed and disturbs us..."

The words made everyone in the tent shine.
