Volume II: West River White Boyan Section 15 Before the war
At this time, there were already some dawns on the horizon, and these dawns became brighter and brighter as time passed, and finally a fish-belly white was formed in the eastern sky. The white light of the fish belly also became brighter and brighter, and then an orange-red halo appeared above the horizon, and the next morning had arrived.
The bright red rays of the sun appeared on the tips of the distant mountains, and the mist opened like a curtain, casting a rosy hue over the tranquil earth. , and then the eternal sun suddenly jumped out, stabbing Zhao Hong a little unable to open his eyes. Then, the morning sun under the shadow of the clouds slowly began to beat upwards from the field of vision. Soon, the sun slowly passed through the clouds, revealing a face that had already swelled and reddened, like a shy little girl looking at the earth.
Early morning is always the best time of the day, "The plan of the day is in the morning." The gentle birdsong appeared in the treetops with few leaves left, and Zhao Hong, who watched the sunrise, also took a deep breath of fresh air, and a new morning has arrived!
Everything is so beautiful in the early morning, and every morning is a beautiful enjoyment, which makes people forget their troubles and make people forget the dangers that are close at hand.
Suddenly thinking that he was in danger now, Zhao Hong woke up from the intoxicating morning. The morning sun is infinitely good, but it's a pity that I'm not in the mood! Then Zhao Hong, who was a little stunned, began to look around the environment, and there were many places on the hills where people were lying asleep. Many of the more well-equipped and sturdy people put the door panel under them, and they lay asleep on the door panel. Sleeping on the door panel, this is a good way, the door panel can be used as a temporary bed on the ground, the wisdom of the working people is really endless, Zhao Hong couldn't help but admire.
A bleak autumn wind blew, and some of the withered yellow grass swayed with it. Zhao Hong walked along the bare trees of the hills, and he first came to the road to the west, where there were several sentries, and they were Wang Ming's men, who were in charge of guarding the enemy.
On both sides of this road, Zhao Hong, who came to inspect, saw a total of four strong people. The warriors who had been on duty all night looked a little drowsy, and three of them yawned incessantly, and their eyes narrowed into a slit, apparently on the verge of falling asleep. Another one was actually napping with the door panel, snoring, and sleeping very soundly.
And Zhao Hong turned around, and the situation at another intersection was similar to here, in addition to these two intersections, there were also several guards in charge of guarding in other directions, but they were all sleepy and about to lie down.
Zhao Hong saw a sentry in charge of guarding this direction under a bush, and when he looked at it from a distance, he saw that his rocker was straight and straight, like a tall pine, standing for thousands of years without falling. This sentry is really good, Zhao Hong stepped forward and wanted to praise him. Who knew that as soon as he got closer, he heard the sound of grinding his teeth coming from his back, Zhao Hong's brows suddenly wrinkled, this guy is standing so straight but grinding his teeth, it's too exaggerated, right? When I came to the front of this sentry, I saw that his eyes were closed, and his waist was still straight, as if he was carrying a good back, and if he didn't get closer, he would look like an honor guard.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Hong, who had a feeling of being fooled, suddenly became angry, he quickly raised one leg and wanted to kick the sentry hard, but his leg was suspended in mid-air and stopped, hung for a long time, and finally slowly put it down.
Hey, it's not easy for the whole team to follow them, not only did they endure hunger in the past, but they tossed in the middle of the night last night in vain, and they even attracted the enemy and put the whole team in danger------- in the final analysis, it was caused by their own incompetence.
Zhao Hong, who was a little depressed, sighed faintly, and then Zhao Hong frowned again in front of this sentry. Although it is understandable for these young people to doze off, it also shows that their will and resilience are very problematic at the moment.
Without strict training, the discipline and military qualities of the five chiefs were very problematic, Zhao Hong thought about it while tiptoeing and quietly leaving the sentry's side. The sleeping sentry was still standing there, still grinding his teeth to a rattle.
At present, this group of subordinates can only be said to be barely stronger than the rabble, and they are better equipped and tactical, but the core ------- honor and discipline of the military are completely devoid.
In the future, if you have the time and energy, you must carry out a "large-scale military training" campaign between these five and raise these strong disciplines and qualities, so that you can fight against those powerful enemies in the future and become an invincible force!
……
By the time the sun rose high in the morning, the enemy cavalry at the foot of the mountain, who had eaten breakfast, was already preparing for the attack.
I saw that most of them were concentrated on the plain on the west side of the hills, obviously afraid that Zhao Hong's team would break through to the burned village and eventually stick to the village. At this time, most of the cavalry was gathered together, except for some cavalry who were left to guard the horses and baggage. It is impossible to ride a horse along such a slope to attack the hills, because riding a horse is slower than on foot, and it is extremely inflexible, and it is simply a live target.
As a result, most of the enemy's cavalry dismounted and lined up with weapons in hand. A small number of enemy cavalry came to the official road south of the hill, threatening the hill from the flank and pinning down the defenders on the hill.
Wang Ming's family was now asleep on a relatively backlit flat ground, and the other young men who woke up had already eaten breakfast. The little grain that was left on the ox cart was now open to all for all, so that everyone was well fed.
After eating and resting for a while, the unusual movement of the enemy under the hillside attracted almost everyone's attention. I saw them poking their heads out and looking down at the hills. In the distance, these dismounted cavalry lined up in a phalanx in the open space to the west.
Most of the dismounted cavalry were equipped with the same equipment as the pursuers who had been ambushed yesterday, with a small round shield on their left arm and a slashing weapon such as a long knife, a short axe, or a mace in their right hand. They wore half-length cavalry armor made of cowhide, most of them wearing various fur hats, and a few of them held horses. These horses are not very long, only about a zhang long. Judging from the weapons and equipment, these cavalry should belong to the light cavalry that disturbs or reconnoitres, and Zhao Hong, who was observing the enemy's situation, secretly made an estimate in his heart.
Most of these light cavalry were short weapons, and even those with a small number of long weapons were relatively short, and they did not have long-handled heavy weapons, which were probably not used to storm the infantry phalanx, but to engage enemy scouts. These cavalry did not have heavy armor, and the horses were slightly more numerous than the cavalry.
This kind of light cavalry is good at maneuvering and detouring, shorter than breaking the formation and attacking the fortification, their hundred people are long---- that general is really stupid, he actually uses his own shortcomings, and attacks the enemy's strength, it seems that there is still a great hope of surviving this battle. Zhao Hong, who was a little excited, looked at the four elders around him, and each of them had different expressions.
"Go and wake up Wang Ming and everything, everyone is going to fight at this time." Zhao Hong, who turned his head, said to them with a firm gaze.
Cao Peng, who was sick again, looked excited, he nodded at Zhao Hong's gaze, and then turned around to find Wang Ming's department who was resting.
"All the other young men who can fight are concentrated on the road to the west, ready to fight the enemy."
"Brother Hong!" Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his worried look was still shown through Liu Song's expression, and his voice seemed to tremble slightly. Liu Song pointed to the road south of the hill with his left hand, then retracted his hand, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to send some people to defend the south, in case they attack from there......" Liu Song's words stopped here, obviously he was afraid that if he continued to talk and shake his morale, he would be taken by Zhao Hong, who was annoyed and angry.
"It is commendable to think as comprehensively as you do." Zhao Hong first affirmed Liu Song's divergent thinking, in addition to "quality education", what kind of education needs such a standard answer? Even Zhao Hong, who is more confident, thinks that he is as almost demonic as Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he is the same as a last resort. Even if Zhuge Wuhou is not the god stick in the novel, he also has the defeat of Ma Tan's street pavilion. So it's normal for people to think wrong and think things out of the blue. Therefore, Zhao Hong feels that even if there is a deviation in thinking, or even a serious mistake, it is 10,000 times better than only figuring out a standard answer! It is Zhao Hong's consistent policy to encourage his subordinates to think from multiple angles, and Zhao Hong, who is like a stream, feels that it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, he looks at Liu Song with encouraging eyes, and then expresses his judgment.
"We just need to send small children and women to watch over there. With such a long distance, and the view still blocked by the hills, it is impossible for these enemies to be coordinated. ”
Zhao Hong, who was staring at the four elders, stretched out his arm and drew a large arc towards the enemy in the west with his hand, "Even if they can coordinate as one, we at the top of the mountain have the advantage of fighting on the inside line, and we can defeat them individually." Seeing that then a confident smile appeared on Zhao Hong's face, and he laughed twice, "The army will not be raised because of anger, the enemy will dismount and attack the mountain, they have already lost half of the battle before the war, and now our task is to teach them a good lesson, and let them also taste the power of our Baoji Village warriors later!" ”
