Chapter 217: The Value of Life and the "Cool Point"
In the retreat, the phrase "time is life" is precious, almost the best portrayal of the world in which this person lives and the evidence of the facts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the two brothers Xiang Zeyu and Xiang Feng are now in a state of competition, neither of them can be as ruthless as their father, not to mention crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, as long as he can get the position of the patriarch of the Xiang family, he has even done righteous things such as falling into the well, killing his father and brother, etc., but now because he is the patriarch of the Xiang family, no one dares to judge him.
Since neither brother has this ruthlessness, then there is no need for them to choose two paths at this time.
No matter how reluctant Xiang Feng is, this Mongolian army is his brother's, and the other party is also the real power holder of this army, and he is the elder brother, so it is reasonable that he has no reason not to follow his brother's steps at this time.
Even if Xiang Zeyu is not a general who commands thousands of troops to rush to the battlefield and fight with the enemy, then he should have the most basic sense of escape and ability as a person, otherwise he still stands there in a daze after knowing that there is danger, which is not in line with the laws of nature and the survival instinct of a primate.
But when the danger is approaching or is ongoing, how to escape or solve it is always the most concerned issue of the authorities, and in contrast, look at the excitement, watch their personal guards hack the traitor to death step by step, although there is a place that makes people feel cool, but the value of life and the "cool point" are not limited to seeing the enemy in front of themselves.
War, like killing, is based on a certain purpose, and it is a showdown of strength that has nothing to say about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and talent and appearance.
Now that they are surrounded, the two brothers have to think about how to use the forces and power they have now to escape.
It was not only Xu Hongliang who had the same thoughts as the Xiang brothers in their hearts, but other Mongolian, Semu or Han military officers and even generals all had the same thoughts as them.
Xiang Zeyu saw that they still believed in themselves at this time, and called themselves "generals", he himself was still relieved that at this "catastrophe" time, they did not make the move of "flying separately", and they did not play big names, and still called them chiefs!
In addition to being gratified, a very important and urgent problem was placed in front of Xiang Zeyu -- how to lead everyone to break through the encirclement.
First of all, the problem in front of Xiang Zeyu is: there is a considerable problem with the retreat route of the soldiers of this Mongolian army this time, it is on a narrow path compared to tens of thousands of people walking, and secondly, the trail is surrounded by hillsides, and the open space, grass and other places are also very limited, so it is naturally easy to be ambushed by the enemy.
Since this road is so easy to be caught by the enemy and set up many traps to ambush, then why choose this retreat route?
Regarding the choice and decision of this retreat direction and route, Xiang Zeyu was really wronged, because he and the generals of the general Mongolian army were limited by their identities and confidentiality, so it was difficult to systematically investigate and analyze the terrain and landforms outside the four gates of Gaoyou City, so they could only entrust Xiang Feng to arrange some people to investigate related matters when he was doing things in Gaoyou City.
Xiang Feng, who got his brother's order, didn't do things according to his requirements, but his focus was not on this side, he first started various open and secret battles with Su Zedong, and later hid himself in the mansion to prevent the people of Juyitang from investigating him, and he himself naturally did not have the opportunity to personally take the "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" of the killing alliance or the family members in the mansion to do related things. Since there was no way to go in person, Xiang Feng not only spent some money to find a group of local people to spy on relevant information for himself, but also obtained relevant information through some hearsay, and then synthesized the two, and came to the conclusion: The north gate of Gaoyou City is too big for the city center of Gaoyou City, so dozens of miles outside it, including the trail, have long been guarded by the troops of Pan Yuanming and Lu Zhen arranged by Zhang Shicheng, and there is also a complete system of asking for help and conscription, and since it needs to be evacuated, That proves that the enemy's combat effectiveness is too strong, so he has to choose to evacuate in a passive situation, but in terms of the situation of the north gate, the north gate is really not a good place to choose to evacuate. The situation at the east gate and west gate of Gaoyou City is about the same, because the terrain is too rough, the road has never been renovated, and it is too narrow, and a later off-road vehicle can barely survive in the past, let alone thousands of people rushing to escape in the same place; In contrast, Xiang Feng believes that the south gate of Gaoyou City is indeed a good place to lead the whole army to evacuate, the place is spacious enough, and the road is relatively stable after being renovated many times because of Zhang Shicheng's trade route development, so it is the best choice for evacuation. Of course, Xiang Feng thought that Xiang Zeyu wouldn't say anything, but the two brothers were confused by various things before planning, and their ideas were too direct, so they directly ignored what they wanted, and the enemies should also want to get it, especially when their plan was targeted by the intelligence group in the Juyi Hall, especially the ghost soldiers, it was naturally troublesome, but they didn't realize how powerful and difficult their opponents were, because they hadn't experienced the Jinyiwei era in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It was a world of cannibalism......
Since he was caught by the intelligence team of the ghost soldiers, Su Zedong, as the commander-in-chief of the entire ghost army, also planned to start in this regard, so judging from various details such as the preliminary plan and the ways and means of the final finalization, no one wanted to find out about the plans of Xiang Zeyu and Xiang Feng and others, even if they died in the womb.
After some rigorous discussion, the members of the management of the Ghost Soldiers agreed that it was a very good choice to use the road at the south gate of Gaoyou City as the main blockade;
After finalizing the first step, and then after a new round of discussion, everyone made a series of solutions on how to prevent the problem if there were mistakes and omissions, that is, the content of this link needed more people, so it was mainly completed by the group of generals under Zhang Shicheng.
So in the end, in this game between Juyitang and the ghost soldiers, Su Zedong and Liu Zhenming, as later generations, are still a step higher than the other party in terms of mentality and way of dealing with things, and they are a cut above them in terms of strategy, and on the battlefield, in the process of actual combat, one side can be a cut higher than the other side's strategy, which is quite enough.
Xiang Zeyu and Xiang Feng and others were more unfortunate because they were matched by Su Zedong and his people from the Juyi Hall and the Ghost Soldiers, and they were also beaten up with a "counter-plot", not to mention, it is still a very sensitive and important issue to escape from the encirclement formed by them.
But in reality, since the problem has arisen, it is necessary to try to find a way to solve it.
As soon as the battle between the guards and the "traitors" was over, the commanders and generals of the Mongol army immediately launched a new round of retreat.
And it is concluded that the people who walk in the front to be the vanguard are still mainly ordinary infantry and cavalry, but the requirements for cavalry are higher, and the military age of cavalry must meet the conditions of two years or more.
And ordinary infantry also have certain requirements in terms of physique, don't be too skinny, as long as the body is stronger, you can't escape the fate of being arranged to the front of the army.
The purpose of this is as long as a discerning person knows that these people who are ordinary soldiers and other people's subordinates, going up to the battlefield to kill the enemy is really secondary, because there are already powerful cavalry in the army, and they don't need to do other useless things on the battlefield, so their main role on the battlefield is to be a backing for the commander or general, and this belongs to the category of normal to no longer normal, otherwise it is weird......
When they are in the formation, they generally use the people with larger positions in the formation as "shields" or meat shields, and when they are next to the generals or generals, their positions are still unchanged, that is, they are used as "meat shields" or "shields".
After arranging who the vanguard is and what the responsibilities are, Xiang Zeyu, Xiang Feng and others need to arrange the rear position of the troops, and what they need is still strong infantry and cavalry to strategically resist and protect the commanders and generals, but the people in the middle of the troops are people with relatively strong body and combat methods, that is, the commanders and generals are responsible for their personal guards.
At the same time, those who are generals and commanders also need to change into ordinary infantry or cavalry uniforms, which is the simplest, most direct and more effective way to break through the encirclement formed by the enemy.
After everything was arranged, what Xiang Zeyu, Xiang Feng and the others needed to do was to find a correct position and method, and start an assault on the encirclement formed by the enemy.
When the 850-person breakthrough team mainly arranged by Xiang Zeyu first moved, the soldiers of the other Mongolian troops who were in panic had not yet reacted, so they did not immediately get out of the way.
But when they saw Xiang Zeyu, Yu Hongliang and others dressed as ordinary soldiers, the soldiers who had a period of training experience understood the reason.
From the beginning of the way, to the back of the "acquaintance" to open the way for it......
