Volume 5 "Shu" Chapter 123: Prepare for a rainy day

As the time for another battle drew closer, it was obvious that most of the soldiers were emotionally discerning, and they seemed to have become accustomed to going out to fight every once in a while. The pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info report the situation of officers and soldiers, and it also makes it easy for decision-makers to choose the timing of the battle.

In the new military discipline of reward and punishment was enforced, most of the rewards were knights of the Tiger Horse. The reason is simple, when Lin Bin chose the tiger cavalry staffing, he always chose warriors who were good at fighting.

Because most of the soldiers are not familiar with this new military law of rewards and punishments, there are more or less troubles, not that the servants who follow the war do not listen to orders, but that the tiger rider does not know what to let the servants do in the war, Lin Bin has no choice but to demonstrate in person, and finally let the tiger rider who feels foggy understand that the slave in the war is a kind of auxiliary service that takes care of his own life in non-war time and acts as a slave soldier in wartime.

Lin Bin also discovered a very strange phenomenon, in addition to being relatively able to eat, most of the registered war servants were very obedient, and there was no case of resisting military orders. The three-day observation also surprised Lin Bin, because the obedient servants of the war were too unbelievable, and he was puzzled but also satisfied with the obedient attitude of the servants of the war, in order to be able to distinguish friend and foe on the battlefield, he ordered the quartermaster to measure a kind of battle uniform for the servants of the war that could be identified at a glance.

The armor on the soldiers of each country can be similar, but the color of the battle uniform will definitely be different, which is to make it easy to identify the side of the soldier. Lin Bin asked the quartermaster to prepare battle robes for the war minions for this reason, and the difference in military uniforms can reduce the possibility of the war servants escaping. It is impossible for the soldiers wearing the robes of the Han army to abscond on a large scale, only on a small scale. If you escape, you will also be hunted by nomads because of the belonging mark of the battle robe, and hunting scattered horses of different camps in wartime is the norm in cold weapon warfare, which has the same meaning as hunting enemy scouts.

Or the military chamber in the front hall......

Lin Bin stood in front of the huge map and explained the direction of the troops to his generals. The purpose of his next phase of the war was to run long distances, and most of the generals didn't know what the long run was, so in order to make sure that his generals did not misunderstand the purpose of the war, he had to use the time to explain to the officers what it meant to run away.

"You have to understand that the most important thing in running is mobility and stealth. After so many battles, everyone must know the importance of mobility. So what is secrecy? That is, like a gopher, moving cautiously. Find ways to keep others from finding out about your existence! Who will tell me what preparations we made when we attacked the horse thieves in the previous stage? ”

Qingshui was listening very carefully, of course he had learned the art of war. But what Lin Bin said is all examples that are not in the art of war, the art of war in the Central Plains attaches more importance to strategy, and the main battle arms are also mainly infantry troops, and most of them cannot be used in the war of the grassland. He heard Lin Bin ask. Can't wait to get out of the ranks. "My lord, do you want to clear all the living people on the road and choose a remote path?"

Frost "hehe" chuckled, "How can there be a remote path in the grassland?" ”

Lin Ying also came out, "Scouts are important, if there is no scout reconnaissance, it is impossible to judge whether there are people on the road." ”

Lin Bin likes the generals under his command to express their opinions, so that they can distinguish the officers' understanding of the war. He doesn't like the generals under his command to learn to die, which will teach a large group of people who don't consider the battle situation. Every rigid borrowing of waste with it.

Due to the limitations of the times, many seemingly simple theories have become complex problems. In fact, the ancients were really not stupid, but they could not see the whole thing due to the limitation of their knowledge. Once they are allowed to broaden their horizons and are no longer constrained by their knowledge, the problem is no longer a problem.

"Scouts; The ruthlessness of the main general, these two are indispensable. I have always emphasized that no matter how big or small the battle is, we must send enough scouts every time, not only to detect the enemy but also to avoid sneak attacks, but also to allow the army to have enough time to prepare for war in the event of an emergency! ”

"We are soldiers of the nation, and our duty is to ensure that our compatriots are not ravaged and to do everything in our power to destroy any enemy who dares to invade the country. Regardless of whether he is old or young, he must do it if he doesn't want to do it in order to accomplish his military goals! ”

"You have to learn what it means to be ruthless when you run from a distance, not only to be ruthless to the enemy, but also to be ruthless to the civilians who stand in front of you, I tell you, benevolence and righteousness are used to say to one's own robes and compatriots! And not an alien race that could kill you at any moment! If you are not of my race, you don't need to be stingy, if there is a threat, you must kill it! This means treating yourself more ruthlessly, and not treating yourself as a human being! ”

The generals responded: "No! ”

Lin Bin turned around and pointed his hand in the direction of the sac, "This place is a protrusion, I judge that the combined forces of Xianbei and Wuhuan will attack here first." What do you see besides that? ”

No one could answer.

Lin Bin was a little disappointed, and in order not to hit morale, he continued to explain patiently.

"Look at this plain. Whose territory is it? ”

The generals finally replied in unison: "Huns." ”

"If Xianbei and Wuhuan want to attack Dingnan, they must get out of the way of the ...... in the northeast," Lin Bin's finger flicked many red punctuation points on the map, "There is a group of Han army forts here, Xianbei and Wuhuan people will inevitably choose to bypass it in order to save time, so where will they attack Dingnan?" ”

Chen Xi looked carefully, "Is it a detour from the side, entering the territory of the Xiongnu, and launching an attack from the direction of Yunzhong?" ”

Lin Bin finally smiled, "Very good!" In the past, we always paid attention to roundabout maneuvers when fighting, and the Xianbei and Wuhuan coalition forces would definitely not storm the fort in order to save time. So how do you avoid these bunkers? Chen Xi has already given the answer just now, the alien alliance will first march to the direction of Yunzhong, and then carry out a small roundabout attack. Now there is a new question, will the Huns let the armies of Xianbei and Wuhuan into their territory? ”

Lin Bin felt like a teacher now, he took a sip of water, and then looked at his generals with encouraging eyes, signaling that he had ideas to speak.

"We know that the Xiongnu are attacking the Western Regions, and Xianbei and Wuhuan must also know?" ”

Lin Bin bowed: "The strength of the Xiongnu makes the grassland tribes frightened, and it is certainly impossible to let tens of thousands of troops pass by their territory when there are strong troops. But. Why do I say that Xianbei and Wuhuan must come from the direction of the clouds? The answer is just like what Qing Shui said, now the attention of the Xiongnu people has turned to the Western Regions, and the Xiongnu tribes left on the border of the Han State have become fewer. Some lots are even more empty. The Xianbei and Wuhuan coalition forces only have two months to go, and if they want to fight quickly, the direction of attack has become the most critical choice. ”

Many of the generals made a sudden realization, and whispered to each other.

Lin Bin was not in a hurry, he took the opportunity to take another sip of water, and by the way, he observed the generals under his command and saw that they were discussing enthusiastically. Some people even guessed the key to the battle, and they were very relieved. He has limited abilities on his own, and it is impossible for him to do everything. He needs more than enough helpers. Otherwise, I will not explain the deployment of the battle situation in detail every time, which is nothing more than to make more people accept the new combat methods, and hope that the generals with active brains will become their help.

Chen Xi suddenly high-fived, "My lord is saying." We have to make a detour from the territory of the Huns. Enter the territory of Xianbei and Wuhuan to kill as much as you want, causing the two enemy armies to rush back to defend regardless of the robbery, and then attack halfway? ”

Gongsun Hong and Koga glanced at each other and smiled at the same time. They had long known Lin Bin's battle plan and knew that Lin Bin was cultivating the generals under his command, so it had not been pointed out from the beginning to the present.

"Excellent! The purpose of the previous battle was indeed to march from the territory of the Xiongnu into the territory of Xianbei and Wuhuan. The question is how do we tell which tribe is the Xiongnu and which tribe is the Xianbei or Wuhuan? The habits of the nomads are all similar, and there are no obvious differences. For example, Xianbei belonged to the Xiongnu, and his dress and living habits were completely consistent with the Xiongnu. Nor do they have strict territorial demarcations. Wherever there was no grass in the pasture, they began to move to the next place. So how can our battle plan be considered complete? ”

Imminent difficulty, if Lin Bin leads the army into the grassland, the army will inevitably need to be camouflaged, and there are many armed people wandering in the grassland at this time, as long as it is not too prominent, it will not attract attention. In other words, Lin Bin didn't want to kill all the way, it would be a waste of time, so he wanted to march on the grassland disguised as the army of the Xiongnu and reach the territory of Xianbei and Wuhuan as quickly as possible. The reason why he asked again was because he wanted his subordinates to use their brains to think more, not every time they would only realize it later.

The generals present were all trying to think, and they all thought in different ways, some were circling around the map, and more were flashing to the side and talking to themselves. Some of them have already understood the idea of their own adults, that is, to train generals of the unified army, this is a golden opportunity for them, not only can they learn combat skills that others want to learn, but also can enter the decision-making level, whether they can be reused in the future may depend on the answer they answer.

************************************************************************

Lin Bin beckoned Gongsun Hong and Jia He to the side and whispered.

In view of the achievements of Gongsun Hong and Jiahe last time, if the plan went smoothly this time, Lin Bin decided to split the army into two divisions when he arrived in the grassland, and let Gongsun Hong and Jiahe lead one division. After the two armies are separated, they will launch attacks in two completely different directions, Lin Bin led the army to attack Xianbei, which has a relatively large population; Gongsun Hong and Koga attacked Wuhuan, who had a relatively small population and tribe.

According to the analysis of Lin Bin and many staff, due to the time difference and distance, the news of the attack on Xianbei and Wuhuan's nest will not spread so quickly, and it will take a week to reach the coalition forces attacking the Han border at the earliest. In other words, the two cavalry armies still have enough time to regroup after the attack on the coalition lair, and the only question is when the two cavalry armies will assemble, where should the assembly be located, and how to deal with accidents.

There is a huge risk in strictly stipulating the time and place of the division, after all, the conditions for communication are too backward now, and if you want to split the operation and then assemble it, you need the generals of the unified army to have a very high tactical quality and a sense of time.

"Is it worth the risk? Hong thinks that at this moment, it is the right thing for us to try our best to grow, why do we have to wade into such troubled waters. It is inevitable that the border plug will be robbed every year, this is also a matter of the Han army, we can sit and watch the competition between the alien race and the Han army, and wait for both sides to lose and hurt us, and then send troops to take advantage of it. ”

"He thinks it can't be! We are all Chinese and Han Chinese, how can we stand by and watch when Tongze is suffering, and do this fisherman's thing. If it is passed out. I am afraid that I will be condemned, which will not be good for us in the future! ”

"Definitely! How can it be said that it is the business of a fisherman? This mindfulness is different from the other mindfulness. Although the Haw Par Cavalry is strong, it is also weak and powerful. We've fought to clear the threats around us, and it's time to recuperate. Furthermore, wouldn't it be nice to watch the situation from the sidelines and strike an all-out blow at a critical moment? ”

Lin Bin didn't speak, just listened quietly, he knew that Gongsun Hong and Jia He were acting for themselves. Persuade yourself to think carefully and not to take risks every time. But he has his own way of understanding......

The existence of this army is strange enough, and it is nothing if it is not strong. It won't be too noticeable, the problem is that the fighting power shown by the Haw Par Cavalry is too strong. The Son of Heaven is keeping a close eye on the movements of the Haw Par Cavalry; The gate lord family is also paying attention to the movements of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the tiger and leopard cavalry will not move when the alien invasion is immobile, so what the son of heaven will think will not guess first. I'm afraid that the gate valve family will soon have bad moves.

Lin Bin is the commander of the Haw Par Cavalry. There are so many things he needs to think about that he can't just look at the surface. The first thing to do now is to make a gesture and use actions to tell the Son of Heaven that the Haw Par Cavalry is definitely an armed force that he can trust, and will jump out to resist the invasion of foreign races at a critical moment, instead of standing on the sidelines to develop and grow.

There is another one, Lin Bin learned a piece of information from Liu Jing and Chang Diaochong, that is, the idea that the gate valve family is always fighting the tiger and leopard cavalry. The move of the gate valve group headed by Dou is especially obvious! Even the Son of Heaven has made new moves in recent times, and he has sent a team composed of civil officials and military generals. The team was on its way to Shiyan, and it seemed that the Son of Heaven wanted to strengthen his control over the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Liu Jing told Lin Bin that the Dou Gate Valve had tested her several times, but she didn't ask clearly, was this army cultivated by the Son of Heaven to eradicate the Dou Gate Valve Group's armament? Several times she wanted to insert people into the Haw Par Cavalry, but was strongly rejected by the Son of Heaven, and she also prevaricated with the excuse that the situation was unstable. She told Lin Bin very carefully: "You need to be cautious in everything, and you must not leave a handle." ”

Although Lin Bin knew nothing about politics, he also knew that this was a very bad signal, indicating that the political struggle between the DPRK and China was very fierce, and the Dou clan felt the strong counterattack of the Son of Heaven, and began to be a little unstable, and even thought of the absurd idea that the Son of Heaven should use force to clear the obstacles to ruling by force.

"Damn, the Son of Heaven is so terrible, he has used all that he can use for the sake of governance! No wonder he would support the Haw Par Cavalry regardless of losses, it turned out to be a distraction from political opponents! ”

Lin Bin is no longer the idiot who only thinks with his kneecaps, he was not familiar with the customs and customs of the Han Dynasty before, and he chose to be cautious, so he looked a little wooden. After a period of familiarity, he basically understood the current political pattern, as well as the powerful relationship between the gate valves, and naturally had his own opinions in case of trouble.

"You ......, what did you say?"

"Huh? Macro is the word, do adults encounter problems? ”

"The problem? Oh! No. ”

Jiahe also looked at Lin Bin with a confused expression, and said, "Gongsun Hong just asked how to march; When and where do you need to meet with an adult? ”

Lin Bin had just obviously lost his mind, and he couldn't determine when and where to regroup, so he needed to gather everyone for discussion. He turned his head to look at the generals under his command, and saw that they had quieted down and were waiting for him to pass, so he hurriedly shook off the misty political thoughts in his head and walked away.

The generals clasped their fists: "My lord (general)!" ”

Lin Bin looked up and patted his face and asked, "Thought of it?" ”

The generals are clearly divided into three strands, and it seems that there are three ideas.

"Xi and the robes thought that our army could be disguised and walk among the grasslands. The humble thought that the grassland tribes were so numerous that we only needed to select a few robes to disguise themselves as Huns, so that we could hide people's eyes and ears, and we could wander out to expel the herdsmen who were approaching. ”

Lin Bin didn't say anything, he looked at Qingshui.

"General, I humble you agree with the disguise, but you have another suggestion: why didn't our army take the route to march from Yanmen County ~ Dai County ~ Shanggu County? In this way, it can directly hit the nest of Xianbei and Wuhuan territory, and there is also a lot less risk. ”

Lin Bin directly ignored Qing Shui's suggestion, if they could march in the Han Border, then they still needed to nest in the West River? What do you do with so many deployments? You must know that this army is not recognized at all, and if the march on the Han border is either detained or engaged in battle with the Han army, one of them will embarrass the Son of Heaven. It also gave the Dou Gate Valve Group an excuse to strike. He looked at the other group of generals led by Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao came out expressionlessly: "I wait for the order of the adult!" ”

To put it simply, they have tofu residue in their heads, not brains, and they haven't thought of a single method.

Lin Bin looked at Chen Xi's gang. Walked over and patted them on the shoulder, "Your advice is good. "From now on, you are temporarily under the command of Gongsun Hong, and Jiahe is your lieutenant." ”

Make a deployment, which means that they are all qualified to fight, instead of staying in Shiyan. They all showed joyful expressions and responded loudly: "No! ”

Qingshui was stunned, knowing that his suggestion was not up to par. Afraid of being left behind, he hurried out of the ranks, "General, I'm ...... We ......"

Lin Bin smiled: "You are under my direct command." ”

"Hoo ......"

A group of generals breathed a sigh of relief. It was also loudly answered: "No! ”

Lin Bin looked at Yun Zhao and the others. Finding that they didn't seem to understand what such a transfer meant, he smiled bitterly in his heart, "It's better for these unresponsive guys to stay behind." ”

"Chen Yi!"

"Inferior!"

"Yun Zhao, they stayed in Shiyan, and they were dispatched by you."

"No!"

The gang finally reacted and shouted: "My lord (general), we will also go out to fight and kill the thief!" ”

Chen Yi jumped out to fulfill his duties: "Don't make noise, silence!" ”

Lin Bin comforted: "Shiyan is our lifeblood, and your responsibility is especially heavy. Don't let me down. ”

The gang of tofu scum was so annoyed that they almost hit the wall and hurt themselves. But he also understands the military law that once a military order is issued, those who violate it will die. Mournfully silent.

Lin Bin was comforted again, and the gang saw that their adults lowered their postures and explained the importance of Shiyan in detail, and the simple-minded gang finally proudly accepted the task of staying behind. Lin Bin felt a sigh in his heart, he began to tell the essence of the long-distance attack, and when he talked about the main force of this war with lightly armed leopard cavalry, the general who commanded the leopard cavalry was obviously excited.

Frost was slightly stunned, "What about the tiger ride?" ”

Lin Bin did not answer, but still talked about several characteristics of the guerrilla war, and kept looking at Gongsun Hong, Jia He, and Lin Ying when he spoke, signaling the three of them to pay attention to what they had omitted. He focused on answering a few more questions from the officers in command of the Leopard Cavalry, and waited for the generals to have no more questions, and then stopped.

Frost was anxious: "My lord, the tiger rider can't fight?" ”

Concern is chaos, Lin Bin has not arranged the task of the tiger horse just now, but said that the tiger horse is not suitable for long-distance attacks, so that several tiger horse generals are obviously a little impatient, frost took the lead in asking, and the other generals immediately surrounded him.

As long as he is a general, he will be very happy and satisfied to see that the army under his command has such a strong desire to fight, and Lin Bin is now very satisfied because he has so many subordinates who have a strong desire to fight. In order to cultivate the arrogance of the army, he has been constantly training the army with small victories, and used the countless blood of the enemy to forge the strong pride they had when they fought with the nomads, telling them that the nomads are not invincible, as long as they have the courage to fight, there is no invincible enemy. Now that the effects have been felt, how can he not be pleased?

According to Lin Bin's arrangement, the scale of the army that will fight this time will be very large, which is why he urgently wants to eliminate the potential threats around him. Now, the potential threat within a radius of 100 miles has been cleared, the defensive pressure of Shiyan has been relieved, after some rectification, including the horse thieves who have been recruited, and the servants who have returned to the battle, the combat strength under Lin Bin's command has reached more than 13,000 soldiers, except for the 2,000 foot soldiers who must stay to defend Shiyan, he decided to lead 11,000 cavalry troops out of the fortress to fight. This is the largest number of Han troops out of Cyprus in decades, and if it wins, this army called the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will also show strong combat effectiveness in front of the world.

Lin Bin saw that Shuang was still nervously asking, and glared angrily, "What are you anxious about!" ”

Frost was silenced by a mournful retreat.

"Repeat to be sure."

Gongsun Hong and Jiahe came out at the same time, "My department has four thousand five hundred leopard rides!" ”

Lin Bin nodded, "I will personally lead two thousand tiger riders, leopard cavalry ~ two thousand five hundred knights mixed in the Northern Army, and two thousand servants in battle." ”

The tiger cavalry general's sad face changed, and he almost praised loudly.

Chen Yi also came out, "Two thousand foot soldiers of our department stayed in Shiyan. ”

The next thing was much simpler, Lin Bin ordered his subordinates to go down to prepare, and he walked to the back of the palace.

Entered the apse. Just as Lin Bin imagined, Liu Jing and Liu Yicui knelt on the mat, and hurriedly squatted and stood up when they saw themselves coming in. He knew that the two girls would definitely hide behind and eavesdrop. I probably knew that they should have something to say, and in order to save time, I didn't care about the embarrassing behavior after drinking, so I found it in person.

A man and two women looked at each other silently for a long time......

"If you have something to say, I still have to go down and be busy with military affairs."

Liu Yicui slowly stepped aside, smiled and looked at the man and woman who looked at each other in embarrassment and speechless.

Lin Bin coughed a few times, "If it's okay, then I'll go to work on military affairs." ”

"Wait!" Liu Jing played with the corners of her clothes, "Jing......." The slave has something to say and listen to you. ”

The change of title made Lin Bin feel stunned, he was no longer an elm head who didn't know anything, and now he knew the meaning of the self-titled 'slave'. looked at Liu Jing in a daze, unable to guess her thoughts.

"Don't force victory, if there is a danger, ......, you ....... You can retreat. Don't take any chances. ”

Lin Bin forced a smile and smiled a little dryly, "It's okay, you just wait for the army to return victorious in Shiyan." ”

"If you are not a slave, there are still clan sisters who are equal."

“?” Lin Bin was still thinking about how to arrange if Liu Yicui also went on the expedition, but when he heard that Liu Yicui was going to stay, he felt both relaxed and a little incomprehensible, "There is no need to send another prison army?" He had expected the mad woman to be as delicate as she always was. I didn't think that Liu Jing was just an elongated tail note of "um ......", and then there was no follow-up.

There was another eerie silence......

"I'm leaving?"

"Hmmm......"

"Nothing to explain?"

"Hmm."

Lin Bin's face twitched. Quickly turn and stride. When he was about to step out of the apse, the blessings of the two daughters sounded in his ears, "I wish you a speedy victory", he paused and took a new step, this time stumbling a little......

In the tense atmosphere, the civilian subordinates were busy, and everyone knew that this time was different from the usual small battles, and the longer the army was out of battle, the more preparations had to be made. The various departments that are about to go on the expedition do not have to practice before the expedition, they need a period of time to relax and adjust their mentality, most of them walk casually, and are only recruited when they need help.

Those quartermasters who didn't understand the meaning of guerrilla warfare wanted to prepare a large amount of food, Lin Bin felt depressed after knowing that plant food was not suitable for bringing more, and bringing too much would increase the weight of the horses, which was especially fatal to guerrilla warfare. Lin Bin instructed that there was no need to prepare too much, and the civil official came to ask him in confusion, he took out the yellow rice balls that had not been eaten on the previous expedition, and the civil official said "rancid" with a bitter face, and finally explained, "It is not cooked and carried, but raw mil."

"My army is different from the traditional Han army, we don't need much food, we want cattle and sheep and other livestock. Got it? ”

The civil servants will take their leave.

With the cooperation of the servants, a large number of horses were arranged for the purpose of camel carrying grain. Take the tiger horse as an example, because it is a class of troops equipped with heavy horses, a new pattern has emerged in terms of configuration, because the mount of the tiger horse has been armored, can not be as camel as a light horse, so each tiger horse has an extra camel horse, which is mainly used to place a four-meter riding gun and a large amount of drinking water, only a small amount is food.

The pony is an inferior breed of horse, and it cannot run away, but it carries an excellent load, which is very useful in swimming combat conditions.

After ten days of preparation, when everything was ready, the war drums on the stone weir city wall were deafeningly beaten.

Lin Bin stood in the city tower fully armed, and below him were the soldiers who were ready to go to battle.

"Our main purpose is to destroy as much as we want, to kill people when we see them, and to destroy things when we see them! Once we enter the territory of Xianbei and Wuhuan, we will turn into locusts, leaving no armor in our place! ”

The declaration of murderous intent, it floated in Shiyan City, aroused the blood of the soldiers, excited, crowded, and responded.

Lin Bin climbed the battlements, drew his sword and pointed to the sky: "There is no piece of armor left!" ”

The Han family responded loudly: "The Han army is mighty! ”

The blade in Lin Bin's hand slashed with all his might: "Go on the expedition!" ”

Swords and guns, guns and spears are like a forest, and the Han family has set out to fight......
