Chapter 438: The Way to Win
Who is the happiest in Shuozhou City, of course, is the Beijing camp foot soldiers who stayed behind to guard Shuozhou City, and they went to the border town this time in order to win a battle.
Now that Lord Toji led his army to a great victory, and he repelled the barbarian army in the field, although they did not participate in this great battle, they also felt honored.
So the soldiers patrolling the street were all overjoyed, and the soldiers who had intercepted Mingyue were happy for a while, and then suddenly remembered the girl.
That night they saw with their own eyes that the girl was so worried about Lord Toji, and now the good news of Lord Toji came, but that girl must not know yet, right?
A few soldiers vaguely remembered the alley, and inquired in the alley, and finally inquired about the small courtyard.
"Is anyone there?" The soldier asked, knocking on the door.
With a squeak, the courtyard door opened, revealing the bright moon's face, and several soldiers couldn't help but feel stunned in their hearts, it was really beautiful, but now there was still a trace of worry on this beautiful face.
"Girl, do you remember us? I was lucky enough to meet the girl while patrolling the streets that night. The soldier said very respectfully.
Originally, she didn't remember it, but after being reminded by this soldier, Mingyue remembered it again, it was these soldiers who told her that Tang Ning led the troops out of the city.
Mingyue reluctantly smiled: "It turned out to be you, is there something wrong?" ”
The soldier said excitedly: "We know that the girl is worried about Lord Dusi, so I have come to tell the girl the good news, Lord Dusi has won a great victory, and led a large army to defeat the army of barbarians!" ”
Mingyue was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and then asked urgently, "Then is he injured?" ”
The soldier was stunned and said, "Well, I don't know about this, but Lord Dusi is an eight-rank master, so I don't think I'm injured." ”
Mingyue was relieved when she heard this, and asked, "Then where is he now?" Is it about to return triumphantly? ”
The soldier replied: "Now Lord Dusi has been leading troops to guard Xiyue City, and I am afraid that if I want to return to the city, I will have to wait for all the barbarians to retreat." ”
Although she was a little disappointed to hear that Tang Ning could not return to Shuozhou for the time being, she was also relieved to hear that Tang Ning was now guarding Xiyue City, it was much safer to defend Xiyue City than to lead troops to fight the barbarians outside.
The worried look on Mingyue's face finally dissipated, and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to tell me, Mingyue is grateful!" ”
Stunned by Mingyue's smile, they came back to their senses and returned with a red face: "Don't dare, don't dare, the girl is so polite!" ”
Mingyue said enthusiastically: "How many people come in for a cup of hot tea?" ”
Several soldiers hurriedly waved their hands with red faces and said, "No, no, we still have to patrol the streets, so let's leave." ”
Before leaving, the soldier hesitated and admonished: "Girl, although there are people patrolling the streets in the city day and night, this alley is very remote, and it is better for the girl to be cautious when she opens the door." The people who patrol the streets are all the subordinates of Toji-sama, and if the girl has something to do, just shout it in the street, as long as the name of Toji-sama is fine. ”
In their opinion, Mingyue was so beautiful, but she was just a weak girl, what if someone with bad intentions saw that she had bad intentions?
But how can Mingyue be a weak girl? However, Mingyue still smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words." ”
A few soldiers left, but they couldn't have imagined that the girl who had just blessed them was a nine-rank master, and she was the pearl of the Sword Pavilion Master.
The vigorous battle lasted for a month, and when the cold wind came, the barbarian army also retreated with the grain and grass they had grabbed.
The barbarian army was not lightly damaged, the border towns were also ravaged severely, and the border army also suffered a lot of losses, and both sides retreated to lick their wounds and wait for the next big battle.
Tang Ning led the army out of Xiyue City and returned to Shuozhou, while the entire border town was busy dealing with the aftermath of the war.
Even so, Tang Ning's entry into the city with a large army still caused a sensation, and in this battle, except for General Huaiyuan leading the army to fight fires everywhere, only Tang Ning's army performed the most eye-catching.
When the army returned to the camp, Tang Ning went to the General's Mansion, and the generals he met looked at Tang Ning's eyes all changed, and many generals came forward to greet him and give a thumbs up to praise the great victory of Xiyue City.
Tang Ning only smiled and was modest, Tang Ning had always been very humble when he first came to the border town, and at that time these generals felt that this was deliberately done to win favor.
But now it's different, Tang Ning is still so humble after winning a big battle, which makes these generals feel good.
All the generals gathered in the hall, General Huaiyuan sat down on the seat of the main general, but his expression was still a little tired, he has not stopped with the army these days, and has been rescuing everywhere.
"This time the barbarian army is menacing, the strength is much more than in previous years, the battle situation is very dangerous, here must not praise the Beijing camp soldiers led by General Tang, defeated the barbarian army in the field under the city of Xiyue, greatly thwarted the arrogance of the barbarians, and boosted the morale of the three armies." Huaiyuan concluded.
Tang Ning hurriedly said humbly: "The general has won the award, that battle was very tragic and dangerous, and it is a fluke to be able to repel the barbarian army." ”
Yao Rong smiled and waved his hand and said: "If you are too modest, you must not grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige." Your ability to defeat the barbarian army is a matter of strength, not a fluke. ”
"After the war, I also asked about the course of this battle, and I admired General Tang's way of training and leading the troops very much, and I was thinking of brazenly asking for advice and General Tang's experience in leading troops and training!"
All the generals were a little surprised when they heard this, although Tang Ning led the army to defeat the barbarian army, it was indeed true, but it would not make the general feel admired, right?
Could it be that there is really anything special about Tangning's method of training and leading troops?
Tang Ning was about to be modest for a few words, and Yao Rong had already smiled and said: "As we all know, the barbarians are very fierce, and the combat power of individuals is far superior to ours, so when we are in the field, we suffer a lot. ”
"But when General Tang led the army to meet the barbarian army, he repelled the barbarian cavalry army in the most tragic hedge."
"It's not about luck, it's about strength! How did General Tang's army defeat the barbarians' fierce combat power? ”
"It depends on the fact that after each hedge, it is re-condensed into a strict formation in the process of detour! It relies on the ability to adjust the formation like an arm! ”
Everyone here is a veteran of the battlefield and they all know the importance of formation in battle. It can even be said that whoever can maintain a tight formation all the time will have the last laugh.
But how easy is it to maintain a tight formation in battle? Not to mention when the cavalry was hedging, because it was faster and more chaotic, and it was more difficult to maintain a tight formation.
