On a summer day, a child's face changes when it is said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yesterday was still sunny and cloudless. At this moment, the overhead is like a lead stone, a layer of black clouds. Behind him, the big flag flew and crackled, and a rainstorm seemed to be coming.

The flat field outside Xiaogan City, this fertile land was displayed in front of Wang Shen.

The war horses snorted excitedly in this rare cool breeze, and a group of scouts galloped across the field, firmly controlling the battlefield information.

At the end of the line of sight is Li Hong's black and slimy camp, stretching continuously, standing right on the official road around the water, guarding the west gate of De'an Mansion.

As Wang Shen expected, Li Hong's thief army lacked cavalry, so it was still the tactics of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, and Jianjian Village fought in a daze. Their camp is very well built, with rules and regulations, and formations. If it is fought hard, it is tantamount to attacking a fortified city with a well-established defense system, and it will also pay a lot of price. Therefore, Li Hong shrank his forces and closed his doors, preparing to give the Sizhou army a protracted war.

"Li Hong'er started our army to be short of food, and wanted to come to wait for help, and when our army was short of food, he retreated to Huangzhou in a gray way, which is too beautiful." Standing on a high place, Wang Shen smiled faintly: "His hope is pinned on the so-called Jianghu brothers such as Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng." It's a pity that his companions who stayed behind in the division won't come to find it uncomfortable. Moreover, before the battle is cowardly, Li Hong and Li Leader have lost their morale, and how will they fight in the future. A certain would not let him continue to be a shrinking turtle like this, and asked his subordinates to prepare and steal the camp tonight. ”

Next to him, Li Heng snorted: "General Wang, are you sure?" Stealing camps, you're not joking, are you? The thieves repaired the fortified camps, and if they attacked rashly, the troops would inevitably pay a huge number of casualties. Besides, it's dark, and we can't even maintain the basic formation, so don't get to the ground yet, let's make a mess ourselves. This is not in accordance with the art of war, no, the envoy cannot watch you lead the army to a dead end. ”

He vetoed Wang Shen's proposal fiercely.

Li Heng had led troops, and he still had basic military knowledge. Like the fortified village in front of you, if you want to take it down, you have to prepare a large number of equipment in advance, organize troops to attack in an orderly manner, fight for a trench, fight a soil fortress, and slowly gnaw it down like a big cake. Suddenly throwing all the forces into a general offensive is simply nonsense.

And it's still a night battle, you know, the soldiers of this era are suffering from night blindness because of malnutrition. At night, you can't see anything. When the time comes, I am afraid that I will not wait for the enemy to fight, and I will become a mess first.

"Water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent." Wang Shen said lightly: "Fujun, this battle can't be delayed, Li Hong can be relieved one day earlier, since Wang dares to fight at night, he is very sure." Moreover, I am afraid that this rain is about to fall, and it will not be light. ”

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face.

In just these two days, Wang Shen's cavalry and Li Hong's scouts fought more than a dozen outpost battles. Li Hong only had a hundred cavalry scouts, and he came down again and again, but was completely eaten and wiped out by Wang Shen. He also got more than 100 good horses, which further strengthened the strength of the White Army.

Today, Wang Shen has firmly grasped the control of battlefield information. The situation of the two armies was completely transparent to him, but without eyes and ears, Li Hong had completely become blind and deaf.

The morale of the Sizhou army was high, and he was about to take Li Hong in one go, and he didn't want to wait for a day.

Li Heng said angrily: "Grasp, what is the certainty, a certain person has received the will of the official family, and he will definitely not let you mess up like this, causing the situation in Jianghan to be out of control." ”

Wang Shen didn't bother to pay attention to Li Heng, and the contradiction between him and Li Yanping had become public. The troops were brought out by themselves, Li Heng came to Chu alone, and he only wanted to give command with only a holy decree, if he was really caught by the piece of straw paper on his head, he didn't have to mix it up: "Pass the order, let all the soldiers go into the tent to sleep, and take care of their strength." The logistics part prepares dry food and diet, gets up to eat on the second watch, and the whole team attacks on the third watch. This time, there is no need to make a pre-war plan, the whole army will take our lead and fight as hard as possible. Don't worry, our army will win. ”

In the evening, the wind was stronger, but the lead clouds in the sky were not dispersed by the gale. The edges of the black clouds turned yellow, and they looked like the jaundice faces of a hepatitis patient.

"Is the envoy really going to steal the camp tonight?"

Yue Yun opened the curtain of the Chinese army's big tent and walked in, he should be really tall, his head actually hit the lintel, and the entire big tent trembled slightly under his huge force.

Wang Shen had just returned from his inspection, and was kneeling on the carpet with a book under the oil lamp, quietly watching. Next to him, Feng Changqing was carefully knocking a piece of tea cake into the pot sitting on the stove. Dust drifted down from his head, making Feng Changqing frown slightly.

The sneak attack on Li Hong's camp tonight is not in line with the art of war, and all the generals in the army are suspicious, and some people can't help but come over to make a statement. Wang Shen went against the usual state of admonishment in the past, and asked Feng Changqing and his guards to block it, saying yes, just carry it out, and don't say anything else.

When others come over, the guards can block them back, but there is no way to take Yue Yingxiang. This Yue Xiaoye has a violent personality, and he really annoys him and wants to beat people. And the military envoy is also extremely doting and indulgent to him on weekdays, and in the end, it is everyone who is unlucky.

"What do you mean by a stealing camp? It is a righteous division, and it is a stormy frontal attack. Wang Shen put down the book of "Luoyang Jialanji" in his hand and said with a smile: "Ying Xiang is here, I knew you would come, did other leading generals call you over?" ”

Yue Yun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?" ”

Wang Shen said lightly: "I know your Yue Yingxiang's temperament, I am happy when I hear the war, as long as there is a battle, I will fight directly, where can I manage so much." I came here today to give advice, and I think that someone else must have come to you to ask you to come and inquire about the news. ”

Hearing Wang Shen say this, Yue Yun was a little embarrassed. But he still stubbornly spoke: "Military envoy, I know that you have always fought safely, and you have never been willing to take risks, why do you want to fight at night today." The risk of night battles is too great, that's right, our Sizhou army has not lost for a while since it became an army, but when it gets dark, once the fight starts, the troop establishment will be chaotic. Everyone is fighting chaotically, and there are too many variables. If something really happens, it's too late to regret it. ”

Wang Shen sat up straight, motioned for Yue Yun to sit in front of him, and said with a straight face; "I also understand your concerns, but I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to see at night. If you can't see it, how can you fight? ”

Yue Yun nodded: "There is this problem." ”

Night blindness is indeed a big problem, and in ancient times when malnutrition was present, most of the ancients suffered from this disease. Because of this, the two armies fought fiercely for a whole day, and when it got dark, no matter what the battle situation was, they would invariably withdraw their troops and fight again another day. Otherwise, as soon as it gets dark, everyone will be mixed together, and they will all end up together.

Wang Shen smiled and suddenly asked, "Ying Xiang, if you don't light the lights at night, can you see it?" ”

Yue Yun: "I can see it." ”

Wang Shen: "I have learned, the soldiers can also see it at night, and there is no problem with marching and fighting." On the contrary, Li Heng's thief army is all chicken-eyed, and his eyes are black at night. Since we can see things, and the enemy has all become blind, how can you say that the idea of not bullying him can be understood? ”

"Silk ......" Yue Yun seemed to mean something, and muttered: "Yes, if you don't choose this cheap, isn't that a bastard?" ”

The reason for the so-called night blindness is simple, in a nutshell: the body lacks vitamin A.

It is not difficult to prevent night blindness, eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as: eggs, animal liver, etc.

Wang Shen considered this issue when he was forming the Sizhou Army, the so-called impermanence of water and impermanence of soldiers, if the troops could not fight at night, many tactics could not be used, but it was a major defect. In addition, the Sizhou army adopted elite tactics, and the main soldiers had two taels of meat to eat every day. Offal accounts for a large proportion of meat products.

Therefore, up to now, although the main soldiers of the Sizhou Army are not like the cats who have green eyes at night, they can still barely see things with the light of the sky.

In this way, the troops have a certain ability to fight at night, at least they can maintain a close formation, and the troops can also cooperate with each other.

If the Sizhou army raids Li Hong's camp tonight, it will be a normal person and a blind man, and if they can't win, they will simply take a piece of tofu and kill it.

Thinking of this, Yue Yun's face was excited: "The military envoy's words shocked the dreamer, Gao Ming, really Gao Ming, the last general understands." ”

"Got it? It's good to understand. Of course, this alone is not enough, do you need me to go on? ”

Yue Yun arched his hand: "Please also ask the military envoy to teach me." ”

Wang Shen: "In addition to people, war horses can also see things at night. I tried before, even in the darkest night, the war horse could see the road clearly. When this battle starts tonight, you can use war horses to open the way in front. As long as they follow the cavalry who are in front of them on assault missions, the non-commissioned officers will not go the wrong way. ”

Yue Yun suddenly remembered something: "Military envoy, the last general still has something unknown. ”

Wang Shen: "If you have any questions, just ask, I know everything." ”

Yue Yun: "At the end of the day today, I will see that Li Heng's camp is extremely strong, even if the thief army can't see at night. But as long as they light torches, hold fences, deer barricades, and earthen ramparts, in the end, our surprise attack will not turn into a well-behaved battle. In this way, it may not be easy to take the enemy's camp. In this way, the meaning of the surprise attack is also lost. It's meaningless. ”

"Well said, I'm glad that you can think of it to show that you're using your brain to figure out how to fight." Wang Shen looked at Yue Yun with admiration.

He has high hopes for Yue Yun, in real history, in addition to being a fierce general, Yue Yun also has rules and methods to fight, and he is not a brave and unscrupulous reckless man as later generations imagined. This has a lot to do with Yue Fei's training, after all, it is a father-son relationship, once Yue Yun does something wrong, Yue Ye will unceremoniously reprimand and punish him.

But in this time and space, Wang Shen is just Yue Yun's brother-in-law, no matter how hateful Yue Yun is, he has nothing to do with him. I can only press the irritability in my heart and cultivate patiently.

Wang Shen: "Don't worry, although Li Heng's camp is extremely strong, in my eyes it is just a castle on the beach, as long as a sea tide rushes, it will be wiped out immediately." ”

Yue Yun looked puzzled: "Military envoy, I don't understand. ”

Wang Shen looked at the sky outside that was gradually darkening, and said leisurely: "This rain is about to fall when I see this, and it's not too small." I see, I have to fall three feet on the ground anyway. There has been no rain for a long time, and it has been very dry in various places. Li Heng had so many men and horses, and when he saw that he wanted to drink water, for convenience, he set up the camp on the river beach at the lowest place to take the way of death! Seeing this, he decided to fight the enemy tonight. As a general, you must not only stare at the enemy, but also understand the geography of the mountains and rivers of the battlefield, and understand the local hydrology and climate. As the saying goes, there are articles everywhere you pay attention to. ”

Hearing him say this, Yue Yun's body was shocked, and he couldn't help but jump up with an "ah", waving his arms excitedly: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of this." When it rains heavily, the rain from all over the place gathers together and rushes towards the enemy camp, and the bustle will be great. ”

Yes, as Wang Shen said, because of Li Hengjun's infighting, this guy wanted to save his life, so as not to be assassinated by his split brain. He brought more than 10,000 troops from the mountains to Xiaogan. Because there are too many soldiers, the problem of drinking water for people and horses has become particularly prominent.

On a hot day, if there is no water, the troops will not be able to hold out for a day. Therefore, he set up his camp on the river beach outside Xiaogan City. It's so convenient, but there is a problem, the ground of the camp is sandy, and the terrain is the lowest point in this area. If the heavy rain comes and is washed away by the flood, all the fortifications will be washed away, how can you defend it?

"The time, the place, the people are all in my hands, this battle will be won!" Yue Yun danced and laughed.

Feng Changqing also laughed, and hurriedly handed over a bowl of tea: "Little uncle, you better sit down and drink some tea!" ”

"If you don't drink it, if you don't drink it, I have to go back to the barracks for pre-war mobilization." Just as he was about to leave, Yue Yun suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Wang Shen, and looked angry: "Military envoy, please also ask, what is the name of the army led by Yue Yun?" ”

Wang Shen was puzzled: "Back to the Wei Army! ”

"You remember, what is the back army, that is the first to enter the battle, and every battle must be charged forward. However, in the past few months, it seems that the battle has been beaten by your cavalry, and I am not convinced. I have to take the lead today, otherwise, you can simply cancel the banner of our backing army. ”

Wang Shen nodded: "Yes, I can't say that I don't let you charge in front of the Wei Army." Soldiers are fought in battle, not trained. That's fine, I promise you. A few days ago, didn't Tabai and Li Heng's scout cavalry fight and captured hundreds of war horses, you should go and ask for it now. This Anlu strategy battle, but there are captures, whether it is soldiers, war horses or armored weapons, first equip your troops. But ......"

Yes, in real history, the Yuejia Army had three cavalry armies: the Tabai Army, the Youyi Army, and the Beiwei Army.

No, it should be two-legged. Strictly speaking, the Bearers were hoplites on horseback. After arriving at the battlefield, Yue Yun and his soldiers had to dismount and fight on foot, just like the later Mongols, this is the real main force in the army. In fact, in the battle of the cold weapon battlefield, the task of the cavalry is to reconnoitre, intersperse detours, harass and charge the formation, but it is the heavy armor soldiers who really solve the battle.

His expression became stern: "Your soldiers are the most fierce warriors in our army, and you are Lao Tzu's brother-in-law, and you are the face of a certain person." If the battle is unfavorable, you must not be spared if you lose my face. ”

Yue Yun only wanted to get the vanguard task today, but he didn't want to get a lot of war horses, so he was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down, shouting: "You can take a good look at the military envoy, see how I fight." If you make a mistake and lose the battle, you can just use the military system. Even if you cut off my brain, Yue Yun has nothing to complain about. ”

Wang Shen waved his hand: "Remember what you said today, go down and prepare!" ”
