Chapter 67 Divide the troops and fight hard
The old medical officer Sun pulled up the battle of the year, and when he talked about this bone joint, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, gasped twice, and then said: "The situation at that time can be described as a thousand moments, Li Youshui, who was about to rush over desperately as soon as the division was pulled, said to him: We can't rush up all at once, divide the troops, you give me five hundred soldiers, I will rush up and entangle this cavalry, you don't care about me, although the handsome brigade went around and went straight to the rear camp of the Tuliao people." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info your third grandfather didn't say a word, and immediately made a decision and distributed it to 500 soldiers for the division. Weishi handed over the oil and fire letter he was carrying to Li Youshui, and instructed him: If I can't rush out later, you can burn a few more tents of the Tuliao people for me. Your third grandfather didn't say anything at that time, just shook his hand heavily, nodded, and rushed to the side with a large group of soldiers. Li Deyi followed up and said worriedly: "Master, you have 500 people, can you stop these 2,000 Tuliao cavalry?" ”
"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it, otherwise let this Tuliao cavalry stop us, and once the follow-up Tuliao cavalry catches up, our 2,000 people will be wiped out. If our strange army fails, it is impossible to say that there must be danger in the frontal battlefield, no matter how powerful the commander is, after all, the cavalry of the Tuliao people is more elite, and the war horses of the Tuliao people also take a lot of advantage, and the horsepower is generally higher than the war horses of our Weibei battalion. Don't look at the danger of the division, your third grandfather took the 1,500 soldiers to the base camp of the Tuliao people, and he died in nine lives. At that time, the Great Khan of Tuliao had left his most elite five thousand royal tent cavalry by his side and had not yet sent them out, he originally planned to use these cavalry to make the final blow, but he did not expect to be bumped into by your third grandfather. After the division and your third grandfather's soldiers were divided into two routes, the division rushed forward with 500 soldiers to meet the 2,000 Tuliao cavalry that attacked, and your third grandfather led the remaining soldiers to detour to the north, and then went straight to the base camp of the Tuliao people. Old Medical Officer Sun said, dipped his fingers in some wine, and drew the situation for Li Deyi on the table, so that he could see it more clearly.
"At that time, the division lined up five hundred soldiers in two evacuated columns, trying to attract the cavalry of the Tuliao people." When Old Doctor Sun said this, the expression on his face suddenly turned to sadness, and his voice trembled a little uncontrollably. Li Deyi said strangely: "When the infantry fights the cavalry, they should always set up a tight defensive circle, or phalanx. Master, you actually set up two thin long formations and evacuated the soldiers, isn't this sending you to death? With such a thin formation, the cavalry will collapse as soon as they rush. When the old doctor Sun heard this, he suddenly burst into tears: "How can you not know as a teacher, how can you not know!" But at that time, if a closely defended infantry formation was put in place, what if the Tuliao people could not attack us and turned around to chase Li Youshui's troops? How can you take the opportunity to entangle them at that time? In order to buy time for Li Youshui to rush into the base camp of the Tuliao people, the division was also forced to do so at that time. Where can the infantry on the steppe outrun the four-legged cavalry, and if they want to drag this cavalry, they can only exchange the lives of these five hundred soldiers. When the old doctor Sun said this, he poured himself a cup of wine, picked it up and spilled it on the ground, and repeated in his mouth: "I can't stand the five hundred brothers for the teacher, I can't stand them...... You can be a teacher without regrets. Remember, the fighter plane on the battlefield is fleeting, and there must be no woman's kindness at the critical moment of decision. It hurts to think of the 500 brothers until now, but they don't regret it, and they used their lives to win the victory of the Weibei battalion in that battle. ”
Besides, it wasn't reckless at that time that the teacher made this decision. At that time, he was a teacher, and his original qi cultivation had already reached the Juwu Tong Realm, and he had already cultivated to the divine eye general energy. As soon as this Tuliao cavalry appeared, the division saw them and carefully observed them on the march. It was found that their equipment was not neat, and they had weapons in their hands, such as spears and knives, hammers, and some even wooden clubs wrapped in iron thorns. Seeing this situation, the division immediately judged that this cavalry must not be elite. At that time, the elite cavalry of the Tuliao brigade had been sent out by the Tuliao Great Khan, and was fighting fiercely with the 30,000 Weibei Battalion cavalry led by Di Dashuai under the North Gate Pass, and the most elite royal tent cavalry was still hidden by the Tuliao Great Khan somewhere waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal blow. At this time, the Tuliao people could only mobilize the second-class tribal cavalry. With the elite infantry of the 500 Wai North Battalion in his hands, although he put on a position to die, he was still sure to resist the most violent cavalry impact in the first round, and then entangle this cavalry. Old Doctor Sun said firmly. General Li Deyi nodded suspiciously, although he personally went into battle to fight a battle of 200 against 20,000, it can be said that that battle completely relied on Wang Zhuangbiao, a rare tiger general in the world, to exert his might, in order to kill the Mengwu thief chief in one fell swoop and achieve victory. But even so, at the end of the battle, less than 20 of the 200 elite cavalry who rushed out survived the battle, and more than 90% of them went out out of ten. Looking at the master at that time, he was just a fledgling member of the Juwu Tong Realm, and he didn't have an unreasonable huge force like Wang Zhuangbiao, and he was leading a foot soldier, why did he stop this cavalry? Li Deyi couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Old Medical Officer Sun continued: "And at that time, there was still a back hand for the teacher. After dividing the troops, Li Youshui and the other soldiers must have run all the way, if they still have spears, running quickly will only cause obstacles, and there is no benefit. Therefore, before your third grandfather Li Youshui left with the rest of the soldiers, he asked him to leave all the spears to our five hundred people, and his 1,500 soldiers only brought a short knife and continued to hurry. The leader of this Tuliao cavalry saw that we were putting on such a death position, and sure enough, he pounced directly. The first charge broke up our position, and more than a hundred soldiers fell in a pool of blood, unable to get up again. After waiting for the Tuliao cavalry to rush over this round, he immediately ordered the remaining soldiers to quickly turn around, directly picked up the spear resting on the ground in front of him, and threw it at this group of Tuliao cavalry. At that time, the Tuliao cavalry had just penetrated the infantry formation of the division, and it was too late to turn the horse's head, so this round of throwing was all stabbed in the empty place of their backs. It also killed and wounded dozens of cavalry, and the effect was not bad, and it also caused a lot of losses to the cavalry of this army. ”
What happened next completely confirmed the teacher's prior judgment. Originally, when this cavalry saw that we were few in number, and put on such a death position, they thought that we were just some two-legged sheep soldiers who were sent to death, so they planned to eat us first and earn these military exploits steadily. Unexpectedly, a charge only knocked out 100 of us, not to mention, and we also shot back and killed and injured dozens of horsemen. The leader of the cavalry of this tribe was at once completely enraged, and commanded his men and horses to surround us, and vowed to kill our handful of foot soldiers once and for all. Speaking of this, Old Doctor Sun took a sip of wine and sat there to catch his breath.
"How can there be immortals in war, the leader of this tribe is so easily provoked, he is really a straw bag." Li Deyi interjected. Old Medical Officer Sun patiently explained to the little apprentice: "The reason why the leader of this tribe is successful is because he is poor. Li Deyi was surprised: "Poor? Old Medical Officer Sun nodded: "Yes, because of poverty." This cavalry should have been put together with all the strength of this tribe, because they were poor, they couldn't get together all the weapons, and there were people with wooden sticks, not to mention horses, many of which were old horses that couldn't run fast. The combat effectiveness of such a cavalry can be imagined not to be strong, and the cavalry leader must have known this very well in his heart, so after he saw us divide his troops, he would go straight to the division of the smaller men and horses to kill, planning to pinch a soft persimmon first, earn some military merits steadily, and ask for some loot with the Tuliao Khan. People who are accustomed to living a poor life cannot afford to lose, this cavalry is all the property of their tribe, and they were injured and killed dozens of horsemen by the division in their eyes, the 'soft persimmon' in their eyes, and their leader of course immediately turned red-eyed, and will swear to kill our handful of people regardless of it. ”
"Also, almost all the cavalry of our Weibei battalion died in the first battle last year, but I have been distressed for a long time, and I am worried that there will be no cavalry in the future, and I will not be able to live this day." Li De nodded sympathetically. Old Medical Officer Sun said: "Taizu once mentioned three talents for generals: knowing the sky, knowing the land, and understanding people. Ordinary generals in the world think that harmony is just to know their own morale, whether soldiers have the will to fight, etc., but they don't know that it is equally important to figure out the opponent's thoughts. The "Art of War" dictated by Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty once mentioned: Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles...... "The old medical officer Sun explained to the little apprentice attentively, and Li Deyi knew that this was the master teaching him the real skills, so he secretly remembered it with his heart.
Li Deyi was remembering it with his heart, and he couldn't wait for the old medical officer Sun to say: "Are you thinking in your heart at the moment, but you have to remember the art of war that the master just gave me, so that it can come in handy in the future." Li De nodded stunned and said, "Ah, I thought so just now." Old Medical Officer Sun raised his hand and gave it to the little apprentice: "Fool, you remember, the reason why the master was able to judge and make a response in a short period of time was that the cultivation of the master at that time had already reached the realm of the five general realms, and he had cultivated the divine eye ability, and he had already observed the situation of this cavalry in advance. If the original qi cultivation of the teacher is not at the realm of the five links, it will be in vain for you to be proficient in a thousand art of war. Remember?! You yourself are like a vessel for water, and this skill is like water. Only when the original qi cultivation is high enough, can the utensils be big enough, can they hold enough water, and can they use their abilities. If your original qi cultivation is not enough, and the utensils for holding water are so big, even if the teacher teaches you more skills, how much can you hold? This is why the teacher repeatedly urges you to cultivate the original qi, but does not distract you from learning more skills, do you understand now? Li Deyi ate the master's admonition, and nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "I understand, I understand, I have been working hard to cultivate the original qi every day, and I have never relaxed." ”
After listening to Li Deyi's statement, Old Medical Officer Sun showed a satisfied expression. In fact, Old Medical Officer Sun knew that his apprentice had been working hard to cultivate his original qi, and just now it was just because of the sad war that he had been pulled in, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought of the robe who died in the battle, so he vented by reprimanding the little apprentice. If he hadn't pestered himself to pull these sad old things, how could he have made himself unhappy, and he should have eaten this meal.
"Master, you continue to pull down, you are in a pinch." Li Deyi, who was stunned, didn't care, and hurriedly urged. By teaching the apprentice a lesson, the old doctor Sun, who had vented his way, also felt much more comfortable, and then said: "Seeing that the leader of the cavalry had taken the bait, he ordered the soldiers to take advantage of the fact that he turned his horse's head and charged again, and threw another round of spears over, which further angered their leader completely. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, the division immediately ordered the soldiers to shrink into a group, form a tight circle, and set up the remaining spears on the periphery, and the remaining soldiers turned into iron hedgehogs in the blink of an eye. This is also thanks to the fact that the foot soldiers brought this time are the best elites, so they can complete the formation change in a short time. The reaction was a little worse, and the end could only be scattered by this cavalry again, and then it was difficult to say. The leader of the Tuliao cavalry was obviously dizzy at this moment, and he was stunned and killed by this iron hedgehog, but this time he didn't let him take advantage of it at all. Their leader circled around us as an iron hedgehog, but they could not break it, and when the horses rushed closer, they instinctively turned their heads away from the dense forest of guns that shone with cold light, and the cavalry on horseback did not want to be skewered into meat skewers just like that. , They let go of the arrows, we set up a small shield, relying on the armor on the body to hold on, and also as a division in the center of the formation relying on the original qi to cultivate high, from time to time to throw guns to kill their cavalry, their leader screamed loudly, but there is nothing to do with us. Our brothers' casualties were now contained, but some of them were scattered by arrows hitting the cracks in their armor. ”
"Haha, this leader is really stupid, when the cavalry encounters the iron bucket formation of the armored foot soldiers, it has always been only harassed by throwing arrows, where can it be directly rushed." Li Deyi said happily. "I'm really sure to you, this leader is not a complete idiot, he rushed two or three times and found that he couldn't break through the iron bucket array, so he let his cavalry ride away a dozen paces and began to fire arrows. But our soldiers are all fully armored infantrymen, and their helmets are all steel, where can his primitive beast bone arrows penetrate. Old Doctor Sun continued. Li Deyi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Haha, this tribe is really poor enough, and they still use beast bone arrows." ”
"The Yi people on the grassland do not have the skill of smelting iron, and they only have a few blacksmiths in the big tribes, such as those blacksmiths of the Tuliao tribe, who have been captured and plundered when they invaded our dynasty over the years. The small tribes are either not capable of attacking our dynasty, or they will follow the Tuliao people to drink soup, but the Tuliao people will never give the loot of blacksmiths to other tribes. The small tribes could not make iron without a blacksmith, and they were forced to use animal bones to make arrowheads. Last year, the Tuliao people broke through the Zhongshen City, and the entire northern middle road was eroded for thousands of miles, and I don't know how many craftsmen were captured. Old Doctor Sun said worriedly.
"After two or three years, the strength of our Weibei Camp will also increase, Master." Li Deyi said comfortingly. Old Doctor Sun sighed: "That's different, our Weibei Camp only has a lot of territory, and currently only controls the land of the three counties, and they are all dilapidated counties that have been attacked and slaughtered by the Tuliao people, and Dingkou is even less pitiful." The Tuliao people owned the entire grassland of cattle and horses, Dingkou, iron ore, gold and silver. It's different! It's so far worse, it can't be compared. As soon as Li De heard Master's words, he couldn't refute it in his mouth, but he didn't agree with it in his heart, in the young man's heart, there was always hope. I don't know how to worry when I am young, and I am talking about him. But if you think about it, no matter how powerful a dynasty is, there will be a day when it will decline. The Pingzhou Dynasty was so strong, and the founding ancestor of the Pingzhou Dynasty, Dou Yinwan, swept away the eight wildernesses and one Liuhe, and established a powerful empire in the world for 600 years, which was known as the sun never set. The surrounding small countries are either attached, and those small countries that refuse to bow their heads have all been swept away by the founding ancestors, and the civil and martial arts are invincible. But at the twilight of the dynasty, just because there were three generations of disdainful children and grandchildren in a row, the tyrannical dynasty was shattered like a dream in an instant, and it was destroyed by the people on the grassland and broke through the capital. Its decline is so fast that it is embarrassing. God knows that these grassland barbarians were killed by the founding ancestor Dou hidden blood into a river, and finally had to give Taizu the honorific title, calling him the Heavenly Khan, for hundreds of years, every year to pay tribute, year after year. Even if his khan wants to return to the grassland to inherit the grassland, he must first serve as a guard in the palace for ten years before returning to the grassland. This world is really like a white cloud and a dog, which makes people overwhelmed.
"Master, keep pulling, hurry up, it's almost time for today." As soon as Li De came for two days, he secretly calculated the hour in his heart, and every day he pulled for almost an hour, the master would drive himself away on the grounds of fatigue, calculating in his heart that today was going to be the point again, and hurriedly urged the master to go down.
"Where did you go?" Old Doctor Sun asked. "Master, you just mentioned that you successfully entangled the cavalry of the Tuliao tribe with your foot soldiers." "Oh yes, the leader was enraged by the division, and he wanted to eat our little group all the time, and then chase after the bigger one. He kept urging the cavalry to come and besiege, and finally revealed a flaw in the chaos, so that Weishi successfully found his place in the chaos. When he broke away from the cavalry guards around him in a charge, revealing his body and no one could cover him, Weishi immediately transported the original qi of his whole body, threw a shot with all his might, and nailed him to death on the horse on the spot, piercing him through the chamber. Li Deyi interjected: "Master, it turns out that Wang Zhuangbiao's spear throwing skills were learned from you?" I said that he threw a quasi, the battle a year ago was thanks to his unique skill. ”
Old Medical Officer Sun smiled: "Haha, his hand throwing gun has nothing to do with being a teacher, but it is a stunt that Wang Zhuangbiao pondered himself." As a teacher, he succeeded on the battlefield once, and never found a chance again. "That leader was also unlucky, he didn't catch his achievements, but he lost himself." Li Deyi said as he spoke, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a sneering arc. Old Medical Officer Sun nodded and said, "If you are in a hurry for quick success in the battle in the future, you may not end up like him, don't be in a hurry to laugh at him." ”
After the division had killed the leader of the cavalry, they immediately panicked, and could no longer organize a decent assault, so they fled back in panic with the leader's corpse. After taking a break for the division, he took a breath and continued to hurry with the remaining more than 300 soldiers, and hurriedly chased after your third grandfather, Li Youshui. At this time, the soldiers of Li Youshui's belt had already rushed to a distance of only a hundred paces from the Tuliao camp, but they were surrounded by a large group of slaves and miscellaneous soldiers. Although the combat effectiveness of this group of miscellaneous people is not strong, there are many people, there are tens of thousands of people, your third grandfather is surrounded by them, and he can't kill them for a while, so he can only hold the position while slowly moving towards the base camp of the Tuliao people. ”
When the division arrived, he saw that near the totem banner of the Great Khan of Tuliao, a group of elite cavalry with men and horses had already come out, and it seemed that they were coming towards Li Youshui. Wei Shi shouted outside the formation: Li Youshui, there are elite cavalry rushing towards you, and now if you can't kill the base camp of the Tuliao people, there will be no more chance. Let's work together! Let's see who's in it! ”
