Section 20: Military divisions begin to show their might
Bai Hui's punishment is to deduct money, which is simple and direct.
I didn't have money to do, so I went to work, made bricks, dug coal, carried stones, and carried bricks. And it is also in addition to the rated work, the amount is increased.
On this day, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and since the military order has been issued, since the military order has been issued, then let alone snow, even if it is a knife, it must be practiced, this time, not to mention the new soldiers, even the veterans have a lot of grievances in their hearts.
Dozens of hundreds of generals came to Bai Hui and asked Bai Hui to revoke the military order of the exercise.
Bai Hui has this right, and Bai Hui can also persuade Bai Qi.
Bai Hui asked, "Can military orders be changed privately?" ”
A military marquis replied: "If there is a major change, the military order can be changed." ”
Bai Hui asked again: "The soldiers complain a lot?" ”
"Yes, there are days of drills, and the work arranged by the general to do, that's all, but today there is a sudden heavy snowfall, the snow is already an inch thick, this year's snowfall is twenty days earlier than in previous years, and the winter clothes made in Dingyang County are still a lot worse, so today's soldiers are still wearing thin clothes."
The words of the military marquis make sense.
But Bai Hui shook his head, Bai Hui didn't want to change Bai Qi's military order, and now it was an opportunity to establish Bai Qi's military authority.
So Bai Hui asked again: "Today alone, will the soldiers be frostbitten?" ”
A military marquis replied: "Or if you don't do the exercises tomorrow, you will double the exercises today, and the soldiers will not get frostbite if they move." ”
"Okay, double it today."
"Yes!"
The military marquis thought that Bai Hui would persuade Bai Qi not to go out tomorrow and retreated one after another.
Bai Hui didn't persuade Bai Qi to stop practicing, and he wouldn't persuade him tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so he got up and called his own soldiers to order all the logistics soldiers to gather, and then recruited 1,000 people and 2,000 strong women.
In the evening, under the double drill, all the soldiers were cold and hungry, and their clothes were wet and sweaty and frozen.
Bai Qi saw it in his eyes, but he was anxious in his heart, he was a soldier, a perfect soldier, he would never change his military orders, and he was also out of the exercises, but looking at the appearance of these soldiers, Bai Qi knew that he was afraid that more than half of the people in the army would get sick.
In the camp, there were real ice pots and cold stoves, and the tents were full of wind, and the soldiers were crying bitterly.
Suddenly, someone rode a horse and shouted: "Commander Zuo order, immediately transfer the camp according to the song, and go to the new barracks as soon as possible, the military marquis has received the number before to find their own barracks, and immediately after entering the new camp, the soldiers' barracks will be assigned. ”
Engaged in military law, from the military marquis to the soldiers, no one dares to slack off, even if they are tired, they must quickly transfer to the camp.
Fortunately, there are logistic soldiers in front to lead the way, and each song (thousand-man team) has a designated camp.
When the soldiers entered the new camp, they smelled the smell of meat.
In every hundred, there was a large room with a huge wooden plate three feet long and two feet wide. The wooden tray was already filled with hot water, and there was a sign next to the door of the house with the word bath written on it.
In a barracks for every ten people, there is a big stove, and a warm kang, the barracks is as warm as spring, the stove is boiling with ginger, meat and bones and radish soup, and a lot of peppercorns are put in, and the wheat cakes are baked next to the stove and are yellow and bright, and they are hot.
At this time, a logistics soldier shouted: "Zuo Shu Chang Ling, the old saying is cloudy, practice three nine in winter, and practice three in summer." We are the Great Qin Iron Army, we must strive to become the Great Qin Rui, good physique can earn military merits, and good swordsmanship can go into battle to kill the enemy. Training is to kill the enemy, sweat more on weekdays, and shed less blood in wartime, and my Great Qin Iron Army is useless and cold. The left commander asked the battalions if they could go out tomorrow! ”
As soon as they heard this tone, everyone who was a soldier knew that this was Bai Hui's order from Commander Zuo.
Because Bai Qi would never say these words, only Bai Hui would.
At that moment, a hundred generals came out of the barracks: "Go back to Zuo Shuchang, if there is hot water and broth tomorrow, you will naturally go out to exercise." ”
The logistics soldier shouted: "Commander Zuo asked again, can you dare to carry it tomorrow, draw lots for the two battalions to face off, the winner has 25 salted fish, 50 catties of beans, and the loser, a bowl of black millet dumplings and clear water." ”
"Dare to fight!"
The thunderous roar of the battalions reached the big tent of the Chinese army, and Bai Qi, who was drinking ginger soup, smiled rarely. Then he patted Bai Hui on the shoulder, which was wordless gratitude.
Bai Hui also breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, before the heavy snowfall, I completed the barracks that were enough for nine adults." There are thousands of fresh radishes, tens of thousands of sheep, and countless grains. ”
"Brother, a few of them are close to the pottery area, and I want to reward them to the craftsmen who burn pottery and bricks. In several camps on the edge of the city, they planned to reward strong men and women with more strength, and they made great efforts to build houses. Then reward some bricks and coal stoves to the people who have contributed to the army in Dingyang County. ”
Bai Qi said: "You are in charge of everything. ”
After finishing speaking, Bai Qi said again: "After months of training, the heavy cavalry has the strength to fight. ”
Bai Hui asked: "Brother, you don't need heavy cavalry to attack the city." ”
When it comes to military affairs, Bai Qi has more words: "Heavy cavalry is not used to siege cities, but to fight against reinforcements." ”
In an instant, Bai Hui thought of a move, and this move is definitely not available in this era.
"Brother, I have a plan, listen to it."
"You speak, I'll listen." Bai Qi didn't even drink ginger soup, and was very serious about listening to Bai Hui's speech.
Bai Hui picked up the white bowl and put it on the table: "This is Beiqucheng, there is a mountain road to the north, and there is a plain to the east and south. I mean, siege and feint. Attracting reinforcements from the surrounding counties to come to the rescue, is it true that the Wei army is good at defending, I listened to other generals. ”
Bai Qi nodded: "That's right, the Wei army is good at guarding, and the best at guarding is the Wei army." Since the complete destruction of Wei's martial arts, Wei has no strength to attack and fight, so it has turned to defend, but it has defended very well. ”
"Brother, if we are here in the plains, we ambush and use heavy cavalry to fight reinforcements, and then use bows and shields to fight reinforcements here on the mountain road, and fight too much, will it make the troops of several cities around Beiqu County empty. I think the odds of winning an ambush are better than facing a strong attack. ”
Bai Qi's eyes lit up: "You mean, use Beiqu County to consume the troops of the surrounding cities, and then take advantage of the weakness to attack, and then turn around to fight Beiqu?" ”
Bai Hui shook his head: "The surrounding cities are all ours, how long can Beiqu County hold on, I plan to force them down." ”
"I want to think, I want to think." Bai Qi really felt that this was a clever plan.
Bai Qi walked back and forth in the house, and only stopped after a long time: "Sun Tzu's Art of War says, to people, but not to people, a clever plan." What a clever plan. However, there is a problem that we do not have enough troops to defend seven cities at once. ”
"Seven!" Bai Hui jumped up: "I see that there are only three on the map, okay." The king has given us only three tasks, okay?"
