Sun Yuan's statement made Lu Xiangsheng very relieved and had a lot of confidence.

However, the split of the army into two still made Lu Xiangsheng depressed.

Originally, the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu, Datong, Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, Jizhen, Jingying, and Hebei were concentrated in Changping Prefecture, and the total number of soldiers and horses in more than 10 large and small military towns reached an astonishing more than 40,000 and nearly 50,000. It can be said that there are many soldiers and enough food, but they have the strength to compete with Jiannu.

But this time the troops were divided, but Gao Qiqian took away the Guanning Army, the Jizhen Army and the Beijing Battalion, as well as the soldiers and horses from all over Hebei

。

There were more than 30,000 of these people, and as soon as they left, Lu Xiangsheng only had more than 10,000 troops left.

In any case, the power has weakened to such an extent, and Lu Xiangsheng's mood has become extremely depressed.

On the second day, Lu Xiangsheng swore in Gonghua City and delivered an impassioned speech, talking about emotion. Probably because of the influence of the division of troops, my heart was painful, and tears flew like rain.

Sun Yuan also brought his officers and a small team of men to participate in the swearing-in ceremony. This kind of swearing-in meeting is not the one people imagine, and the officers of all the armies gather here, and some soldiers are sent over to be deputies.

Sun Yuan was a little sad when he saw Lu Xiangsheng so excited.

After coming down, Jiang Donkey made a noise and said, "The war is about to start, what is the superintendent crying, isn't this self-defeating morale?"

Wen Jian was not convinced, raised the bar as usual, and said that donkey, you know a fart, do you know what it means to win? After listening to the words of the overseer, don't you have a blood boil, and you can't wait to go to the battlefield and meet the enemy immediately?

Jiang Donkey was stunned and scratched his head: "I don't feel this way." ”

Next to him, Shao Wei sneered: "It's not okay to fight on impulse, our Ningxiang army goes into battle to fight, but it never roars and screams, and rushes up." In this way, they are in chaos. In our troops, everyone has their own tasks, and the division of labor is also fine, and it is useless to boil blood. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but whisper in surprise, and said, General Shao, it's okay if you don't say it, if you say it, it's really what's going on. Our Ningxiang Army is so different from other troops, it's just a freak.

Shao Wei continued: "By the way, do you remember what General Sun said when he taught us at night school? That was still when I was waiting in Ningxiang, because it had been a long time, and you had probably forgotten about it. However, I was still a rookie at that time, and I was still a layman about how to fight. The general's class made people feel like they were suddenly opened, it turned out that the battle was fought like that! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly became interested, and they all said Shaowei, tell me quickly.

Shao Wei sorted out his thoughts, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "At that time, General Sun said that war is divided into large battles and small encounters in terms of its scale

。 Not to mention small encounters, the so-called battle is that each side dispatches tens of thousands of horses to face each other on the battlefield. For example, in the Battle of Chuzhou, the total number of soldiers dispatched by both sides reached 300,000. ”

"What is the concept of 300,000 people, people are next to each other, people are crowded together, at least a block of four square miles. With so many people on the battlefield fighting each other, the real contact between the two sides is not large, that is, thousands of people and horses are fighting in front. Others, just pile up there and put on a show. Therefore, it is only a few thousand elites who will decide the outcome of this battle. ”

"Therefore, after a battle, the casualties in the battle are only more than a thousand people."

"And more often than not, it happens in the process of one side being defeated and the other side pursuing."

Everyone is a veteran who has fought several battles, and their combat experience is not abundant, and they all nodded silently after listening to Shao Wei's explanation.

Shao Wei continued: "My Ming army and the thief army, and Jiannu fight, usually a face-to-face, and the forwards of both sides will divide the victory and defeat. Then, one side was routed, and the other pursued. In fact, the battle was also sloppy and simple. That's because, to put it mildly, our Ming army is very bad, and the thief army is even worse. But if you meet Jiannu, things are not so simple. ”

"We've fought twice with Jiannu, and on the surface, Tartar seems to be vulnerable. But don't forget, that's because our Ningxiang Army is very strong, and the tactics designed by the general are very clever. But you also have to admit that the Tartars are very tough. Even though the team in front of us was killed like flies with our spears, the people behind still poured up like a tide. This toughness alone is enough to surprise people. At least, our other armies can't do it. ”

Shao Wei: "Besides, have you thought about it? If our Ningxiang army really goes to the battlefield and participates in the decisive battle. Our Ningxiang army is very strong, and Jiannu is not weak. Therefore, it is impossible to distinguish the winner or loser in a short period of time, at least there will not be a thing where one side collapses. It is possible to fight this battle for a whole day. ”

"What is the concept of fighting for a day, all of you are veterans of the battlefield, Shao Wei doesn't need to say much here, I think you also understand. Let's compare it to a fight, when Shao Wei used to fool around in the market, he fought with people in the street all day long, and even everyone in the robes seemed to have fought with me a few times. At that time, I didn't have much to do, and I didn't have any fighting experience to speak of, and at the beginning, I really suffered a lot of losses. ”

Listening to Shao Wei mention the old incident of Fengyang, the capital of China, the old people of the Ningxiang Army were a little embarrassed.

Shao Wei continued: "Have you noticed that when I first started fighting with people, my heart was beating hard, my mouth was dry, my body was hot, and my muscles were tense

。 Not because of fear, but because of excitement. Therefore, there is no rule to fight alone. I didn't know how to exert my strength when I should exert it, and my fist couldn't be implemented. ”

The donkey screamed and scratched his head: "Don't say it, Brother Shaowei, you are really right, when I fought with those cattle in the Shanxi border army, I was also beaten badly at the beginning." Later, there were many fights, and I never suffered a loss again. ”

A general smiled and said, "Donkey, aren't you just an animal?" ”

The crowd burst out laughing.

When everyone's laughter was quieter, Shao Wei said: "Have you found it, when I first started fighting, I was excited and afraid, and after only a moment of fighting, I had no strength, and my body was so soft that I couldn't speak." This battle is much more powerful than fighting, and if you lose the fight, you will be beaten into a pig's head at most. But once you lose the war, you will lose your life. Therefore, if you go to the battlefield and scream excitedly and pounce on it, you are afraid that the speed of the strength will pass faster, how can you fight for a day? Do you find that the Ningxiang Army trained by the general will be trained into wood and clay sculptures. The soldiers have been training until now, and as soon as they go to the battlefield, they don't know how to be afraid at all. In this way, the time to hold on to the battlefield is much longer than that of ordinary armies. That's because the soldiers were afraid of military law, of military judges, of violating military regulations and punishing more than death. This...... It is the secret of the general's training, which is the reason why our Ningxiang Army is strong. ”

"Ah, that's what Shao Wei said!" Even Fei Hong couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise.

Shao Wei felt that he had grasped the true meaning of Sun Yuan's art of war, and said with a high-spirited smile: "So, don't look at the blood of other armies in this night attack, our Ningxiang army gives people a feeling of not being on the road." But if you really go to the battlefield, you have to rely on us. ”

An officer sighed: "The reason is not clear, General Shao really understands it and admires it!" ”

Wen Jianjian has always looked at Shao Wei unpleasantly, but this kid is General Sun's brother-in-law, plus he has read books, and he has a spirit, in the past two years, there is a vague posture of the army against the first cadre.

He sneered: "Shao Wei, the superintendent swears to be a teacher, everyone is grateful for his old man's virtue, and he is willing to fight to the death." You are so afraid of death that you don't dare to talk to Jiannu, but you are talking cool below, what the hell! ”

Shao was furious, slapped the table, stood up with a bang, and was about to have a seizure.

At this time, there were guards outside the tent shouting: "General Sun has arrived!" ”

Only then did Shao Wei shut his mouth stupidly, clenched his fists and stared at Wen Jian with good intentions

。

Wen Laosan was dismissive.

The door curtain opened with a bang, but I saw Sun Yuan striding in, followed by Dafang and Yu Xiang and other four small guards.

Everyone bowed their hands at the same time: "I have seen the general." ”

Fei Hong: "General Sun, what did the superintendent recruit you to do in the past, the day of the night attack has been set?" ”

Sun Yuan looked a little tired, probably seeing that the light in the big tent was a little dim, and there were so many people gathered, he glanced at Yu Xiang behind him.

Yu Xiang understood, he knew that his generals liked to be clean and bright, and when they lived in their daily lives, they all opened the doors and windows, so he hurriedly walked to the door of the tent and hooked the door curtain with a hook.

The golden sunlight is shining in from outside, and it is bright in front of you.

Sun Yuan pointed to the sunny sky outside and said, "Good weather, it's been two days in a row, tonight is the moon and a half, and it's also a bright moon in the sky." Ladies and gentlemen! ”

The generals straightened their chests with a bang.

Sun Yuan: "The commander has already issued a military order, and he will raid the old camp of Jiannu tonight." ”

"It's finally time for war!" All the generals looked stunned, but they all showed a smile in an instant.

Sun Yuan strode to the front of the map, picked up a wooden stick and pointed at the map: "Today, the Jiannu camp is in the northeast of Beijing, a long distance from my old camp in Changping. For, the order of the overseer, that the army should set out at the end of the night, and march all the way, and must arrive at dawn to attack. ”

It is 5 to 7 p.m. Beijing time in later generations. In the Beijing area, it gets dark quickly and lights up early. At this time, especially in winter, it is already completely dark.

As for the Mao time, it was from 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock in the morning Beijing time in later generations, and it was already bright at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng's battle plan was to use the night to hide the whereabouts of the army and march all the way. By the time Tianming arrived at the old camp of Jiannu, the sky had already opened, and it did not affect the deployment and battle of the troops. And at dawn, when a person sleeps most soundly, it is just the right time to surprise the enemy.
