Chapter 13: The Storm of Yanling (2)
One, two, three......
Xu Chu, who was so idle, was lying on the roof, bored to the extreme, and counted the stars like a child.
In the past few days, in addition to letting people send food and drink, half of the figure can't be seen. I heard Xu Shu say that he should be busy preparing for spring sowing.
What kind of crops are planted at this time? Wheat, corn, ramie? I want to do this, but it's a pity that he was an ordinary otaku in his last life, otherwise it would be interesting to do something that is not available in this era and increase social productivity.
He thought about the duel with the Yellow Turban thieves that night, if he knew how to lead soldiers, would he let his side die less brothers.
Xu Chu sat up, and he had a feeling of inspiration like 'diabetes insipidus', could he learn and use some famous tactics in later generations?
Many immortal generals flashed in their minds, Li Jing, Yue Fei, and Qi Jiguang...... That's right, Qi Jiguang!
Xu Chu's eyes lit up, because of the cult of personality, he knew the deeds of this anti-Japanese hero very well. Especially at that time, he was curious about what method Qi Jiguang used to defeat the vicious pirates, and he also deliberately turned over some information. What comes to mind now is Qi Jiguang's most widely circulated set of tactics - Mandarin Duck Array.
According to Marshal Qi's book of the Ming Dynasty Tang Shun, the improved tactics tailored for the Japanese invaders have created a miracle in the history of human warfare: the battle loss ratio is close to one to one hundred.
Damn, I only think of this now, it's really an elm head. This mandarin duck formation is for foot combat, and now it is mainly fighting against the Yellow Turban Thieves, and both sides are short of horses, which just comes in handy!
Xu Chu came down from the roof and laughed: "I am old and developed!" ”
Xu Shu, Wang Yan, Zifan, and Gong Su were muttering and discussing something together, and they all looked at him in surprise when they saw Xu Chu's crazy appearance. Gong Su and Zifan are even more worried in their hearts, the eldest brother won't relapse from the old disease, right?
"Ahem, everyone is here, what are you talking about?" Xu Chu pretended to cough twice to hide his embarrassment.
"Big brother, we are discussing how to reduce casualties when we fight in the future." Zifan replied.
Wang Yan said solemnly: "Exactly, I heard Zifan say that when Xu Jun was in Qian County, he was very good at dealing with thieves, why not take advantage of the free time now to pass on the experience to my brothers and others, and when I fight against the Yellow Turban in the future, I can be more sure."
Coincidentally.
Xu Chu took over the conversation and said, "Great, I was in a daze just now...... Ahem, when you look at the stars in the sky, you have an understanding of the method of facing the enemy, and I want to discuss a thing or two with you. ”
Everyone is dumbfounded, you will still watch the sky at night?!
"Don't look at me like that...... It's just that I have learned a little bit of the method of arranging troops. Xu Chu is embarrassed, look at the stars and see the truth, it is better to mention it as little as possible in the future.
Xu Shu said: "Zhongkang, please speak, I will listen to you." ”
Xu Chu then sorted out the mandarin duck array in his memory a little bit and said it.
In a team of eleven people, the first two carry shields and are equipped with short weapons, which can be used as a barrier to advance; The two shield bearers are followed by the captain, this person is very important, whether the team advances or retreats, left and right, he is the one who gives orders; On both sides of the captain, arrange a person who uses a long weapon, preferably a long weapon with a hook, to cover the march of the team; They were followed by four spearmen, two on the left and two on the right, who were the main force of the attack; Behind the spearmen were two halberders, who were in charge of support.
In the end, Xu Chu said: "This formation is good at infantry field warfare, and the advantage is that each soldier only needs to do his own job well, and the division of labor is clear. The difficulty lies in the implementation of orders and prohibitions, and the tacit understanding is achieved. And once formed, such as the rabble of yellow turban thieves, but the ears of the native chickens and dogs. ”
Zifan and Gong Su looked at each other, and they both saw a meaning in each other's eyes: although they didn't understand very well, they seemed to be very powerful.
Xu Shu is Xu Shu after all, he thought for a while and said, "It seems a little too complicated, and it can't be done in a day." However, it is better to let the brothers practice according to this method immediately, than a plate of loose sand. ”
Wang Yan clapped his hands and applauded, yes, no matter what the effect is, it is better than nothing.
At this time, someone suddenly came to visit, but it was sent by Pang Shang, saying that he wanted to invite Xu Chu to go to the house for a drink now.
It's already past the meal, what kind of wine are you drinking at this time? But no matter what, if you eat him Pang Shang recently, and live in him Pang Shang, of course you have to give this face.
Xu Shu said softly to Xu Chu: "During the banquet conversation, if Pang Shang is vague, Zhong Kang will also pretend to be confused; But if there is a lot of dissatisfaction with Han Zong in his words, Zhong Kang must not hesitate, he must take the opportunity to make a stand with Pang Shang and stand with Pang Shang. ”
Xu Chu nodded, and went to Pang Mansion with someone. After arriving, he found that Pang Shang invited not only him, but also five people at the same time.
What kind of medicine is sold in Pang Shang gourd?
"The army is coming, and I hope to forgive me for missing it." Pang Shang stood up and confessed to Xu Chu.
Xu Chu said that he didn't dare, and after saying hello, he sat down in the banquet.
The wine and food have already been warmed, and his own servant poured it for Xu Chu, Xu Chu raised his glass and said, "Xu is late, let the princes wait for a long time, this glass of wine will be dried first as a respect." ”
Pang Shang said with a smile: "The army is outside, and the old man has a temporary intention to disturb the rest of the army, and he should be punished with a cup." He also drank the wine in his glass.
During the banquet, Pang Shang frequently persuaded to drink, and introduced the rest of the people present one by one, it turned out that they were all big families in the county and were good friends with Pang Shang.
Xu Chu drank for the first time after coming to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and to be honest, the wine at this time was not as strong as the second pot. In addition, his body was originally massive, and he drank more than a dozen glasses in a row without frowning.
Pang Shang praised: "The military waits for a good amount of wine!" Brother Zhao, I have tasted that the rice wine brewed by your Zhao family is clear and pure, and I will send some to the military in a few days, so as not to make people laugh at the people in Yanling County who do not understand hospitality. ”
One of them stood up from the seat and accused: "Lord Xiancheng, that's all in the past. It's not that the villain is stingy, it's just that there is no extra grain at home to make wine. After speaking, he sighed again and again.
Pang Shang feigned anger and said: "The Zhao family has thousands of acres of fertile land, how can there be no rice, Brother Zhao must not use such rhetoric to excuse himself." ”
The surnamed Zhao said: "My lord doesn't know, my family's fields have been sold cheaply." ”
"Oh? Tell me, why do you sell good land at a low price? ”
"This ...... The army is here, and the villain doesn't dare to talk much. ”
Pang Shang stood up and said, "Why don't you dare to say it? If you have something unspeakable, just tell it to the soldiers! ”
Yo, this double reed sings well. Xu Chu pretended to drink, and when he contacted Xu Shu's analysis before, he had a rough idea in his heart.
Sure enough, the surnamed Zhao twisted a few times, and said, "It was the cheap maid who sold it to the Han family." ”
When Pang Shang heard this, he deliberately lowered his face, "Don't talk nonsense, how can Han County Lieutenant be an upright gentleman, how can he connive at his family to do such a hurtful thing." ”
The surnamed Zhao told how the Han family intimidated, how he arrested his son and sent him to the county jail, and how he forced them to comply.
Xu Chu is not good at pretending to be confused anymore, and Han Zong is really a bastard in this matter, so it seems that he should express his position.
"Lord County, everyone, Xu has something to say."
