Volume 6 "Warriors" Chapter 176: Let's go, to the west!
The man recommended by Meng Zhao was less than twenty years old, and he was born with a childlike face, looking like a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This young man's name is Zhao Jun, he is of medium height, but his eyes are bright, looking at the calluses on his hands, he should often practice swordsmanship.
Zhao Jun's pace was steady, and the spacing between each step was the same, and his hands hung down at his waist at all times, and his half-squatting body seemed to be ready to burst out at any time. He received a signal from Meng Zhao and saluted Lin Bin: "See your lordship." β
Lin Bin nodded, his tone slow: "Do you know what you want to do here?" β
Zhao Jun replied rigorously: "Accept the test of adults." β
Lin Bin likes the efficiency of doing things, and he immediately let the grassroots move the tool of the military flag deduction, and let people call Han An, ready to let the two have a bloodless confrontation. Han An was a cavalry officer who was good at guerrilla warfare, and he played the role of the Xiongnu who might attack.
If you check the shape clearly and know the scale of the map, it is not difficult to make a sand table.
Lin Bin announced to Han An and Zhao Jun the rules of the military flag deduction, the weather, and the comparison of the forces of the two sides, and he will be the referee of the military exercise.
Knowing the rules recommended by the military flag, Zhao Jun quickly entered his role, and he began to arrange his troops with the help of the staff officers who were temporarily assigned to the army. The Zhao army basically relied on the advantages of the terrain to set up a defensive line, and the restrictions of the conditions could not set more traps, so he chose to lay heavy troops on the high ground and set up more secret posts.
When Han An and Zhao Jun were still arranging, Lin Bin, who was acting as a referee next to him, said, "The confrontation begins."
The improvised wall barricades that Zhao Jun planned to build were not caused, and the work of traps such as traps was only halfway through. At this time, the battle was carried out in the face of the enemy's army, which was mainly cavalry, and was at a complete disadvantage.
The sudden order did not make Han An and Zhao Jun stunned, the battlefield was originally changing rapidly, and there was no certain law when to conduct a war. It relies on the solid foundation and ingenuity of the general.
Han An was a cavalryman, and he was assumed to be a Hun army that knew the terrain of the battlefield, so he immediately ordered the imaginary 10,000 cavalry to approach from the middle and make a strong breakthrough posture.
Due to the sentry posts and wolf smoke set up by the Zhao army, it was judged that the enemy was attacking, and he ordered the heavy infantry blocking the middle road to retreat to the high slopes on both sides, and set up more horses to resist horses in the middle road. Let the troops throw down flammable hay and other objects, and the 7,000 infantry troops on the rear road will accordingly swing forward to block the infantry formation.
Han An reacted more reasonably, detecting that Zhao Jun had set up a pocket formation. The favorable terrain on the left, right, and front was occupied, and the defending army was full of crossbowmen, and with horses and flammable materials in the center, he prudently ordered the 10,000 cavalry of the pioneers to retreat. Personally led the army behind to catch up. During this time, scouts were sent to explore other directions.
Lin Bin nodded from the sidelines, and designed to confuse the enemy army under the condition of insufficient troops, and tried to delay time as much as possible to show that Zhao Jun had not forgotten his duty.
According to the time ratio of the military exercise, Han An continued to send small troops to test for two days, and finally seized an opportunity to use the superior forces to drag the army on the right and in front, and swung 3,000 troops to eat the 1,000 infantry army deployed by the Zhao army on the left slope. The 3,000 cavalry did not stop the attack after destroying the 1,000 defending infantry troops, and rushed straight down the high slopes.
"Han An wants to lure the defending army on the right slope down?"
Lin Bin laughed when he heard it, if Han An could only do this. He will not choose others to choose Han An to fight.
Zhao Jun really ordered the army on the right flank to move closer to the headquarters. He used an arrow array to force back the enemy troops who were rushing down, then ignited the flammable material, and ordered the whole army to use the fire to stop the enemy, and retreated to the second line of defense.
In fact, on the second day of the battle, Lin Bin should have sent troops to support, the reason why he didn't make such a judgment was to test the talent of the Zhao army, when the Zhao army led the troops to retreat to the second line of defense, the reinforcements of the wolf army arrived, and since then the goal of delaying the enemy army has been achieved.
"Prepare, tomorrow is a real combat exercise. Let's all go down. β
Waiting for everyone in the tent to retreat, Meng Zhao asked, "Are you up to the task?" β
Lin Bin just smiled, he pays attention to the cultivation of talents, and whenever there is an opportunity, he will let his subordinates exercise to the greatest extent, this time Meng Zhao recommended people, to put it bluntly, it is not a simple test to be sent out to carry out military affairs, but just want to tap more talents for later use.
Next......
Zhao Jun and Han An conducted an actual drill at the university grounds.
With Lin Bin's explanation, Han An did not reserve, and led his headquarters to quickly defeat the infantry army of the Zhao army standing in formation with a ferocious combat style.
After the defeat, Zhao Jun did not show a decadent expression, but praised it with great excitement, "It's amazing, this is an adult's army!" He asked to fight again.
"If this is really a battlefield, you are already dead."
Without saying a word, Zhao Jun raised his blade and cut it on his arm, "Atonement for his sins with blood." I hope you will be successful! β
Young people should have the resilience to win without being arrogant and defeat without being discouraged.
"Go get ten lashes and come back."
Zhao Jun knew Lin Bin's military law of governing the army, and willingly went down to receive the whip.
Lu Yan now knew that his choice was wise, what he saw was an army that had risen from the pile of the dead, and every soldier had been tempered and fought without fear of death. If there are only 10,000 or 20,000 such an army, it may only play a supporting role, but if the army of nearly 100,000 has the tenacity to fight to the death, it is enough to challenge anyone. He squinted his eyes and secretly wondered whether to call Zhang Qian and others over to watch the military exercise, and use his momentum to make Zhang Qian and others fearful, and then take the opportunity to knock on the bamboo again.
The 'discussion' with the Han State has been going on for four days, and in these four days, Lu Yan can be said to have asked for a sky-high price, asking for 200,000 sets of armor, 300,000 war knives, 80,000 cavalry spears, 50,000 big bows, 20,000 crossbows, 5,000 riding crossbows, and 10 million arrows, which frightened Zhang Qian for a moment. Zhang Qian didn't know much about military affairs, so he made a wise decision, that is, to urgently write a letter to the Son of Heaven and let the Son of Heaven make his own choice. When Lu Yan saw Zhang Qian's performance, he thought that he had opened too little, and he regretted it in his heart, he thought that in terms of the national strength of the Han Kingdom, such a thing was indeed nothing.
In another actual matchup, Zhao Jun and the Black Flag Army, who had already lost once, were infantry. They had a preliminary understanding of the wolf army's offensive methods, and cautiously chose the strategy of not moving the enemy, and the entire infantry was firmly guarded by shield soldiers and dragon spearmen. The shield wall and the gun forest look like a hedgehog with nowhere to go.
Han An's battle strategy was very unchanged, he still sent a small group of cavalry to cruise outside the infantry formation, sometimes making a charging posture to lead the crossbowmen in the middle of the infantry formation to shoot arrows, looking forward to consuming Zhao Jun's arrows, looking for the best opportunity to defeat Zhao Jun with a frontal breakthrough again.
The pre-Qin army was already known for defensive operations, and once the pre-Qin infantry army was decided, it only defended and did not move. It's not impossible to break through, but that needs to be exchanged for a death rate that is several times higher than that of the pre-Qin infantry army.
Lin Bin frowned frequently, if it was a simple defensive battle. There is naturally nothing wrong with fully shrinking and only defending and not attacking, but Zhao Jun has forgotten his duty, and his task is to hold back the enemy army and wait for his own reinforcements to join the battlefield. Such a simple defense once the enemy army remains in a part of the army to contain it. The rest of the army simply ignored the hedgehog-shaped infantry and continued to advance, which was tantamount to a defeat in the battle. As long as there are enemy troops in the rear, reinforcements are delayed, the rear becomes a battlefield, and the infantry troops who hold the defense have only two ends, and they die in battle or starve to death.
Meng Zhao's face was not very good-looking, but what he thought was definitely different from Lin Bin. The reason why his face was ugly was because he saw that Han An ordered the army to be divided into six sections, and he was about to launch a decisive wave charge. He has reason to believe. As long as the military order is given, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead. Those cavalrymen who were arranged to be brave men would definitely not frown, obey the military order, and carry out a mortal charge.
Just as Han An was about to give the order to make a decisive charge, exchanging the price of death for the order to break through the infantry formation, a golden drum sounded.
**************************************************************************************
"The Last General ......"
"You don't have to say it."
Lin Bin rode away, and he and Meng Zhao came to the front of Zhao Jun with a blank look.
"You've lost."
The extremely bland tone made Zhao Jun feel like he had fallen into an ice cave. He struggled to remember why he had been judged to have lost. Thinking from a tactical point of view, even if the army under Han An can really break through the infantry formation, in the end, it will only end up being a defeat for both sides. The more he thought about it, the redder his face became, and he thought that the defense of Guangmu was just for the service of the entire grand strategy, and finally understood what was wrong.
Zhao Jun bowed his head and knelt on one knee, "humble...... Guilty ......"
Seeing Zhao Jun wake up, a smile appeared on Lin Bin's face.
The phrase 'knowing mistakes can be corrected, and being good is great' is a bit nondescript here, but a leading officer who knows where his mistakes are, as long as he can reflect and examine himself from his failures, he will definitely be able to make a difference in the future.
After receiving the signal, Zhao Jun climbed the war horse that he led, and he followed closely behind Lin Bin and the others, listening to Lin Bin explain what it means to 'tactics are just for strategic service'.
The generals of the five armies liked to listen to Lin Bin's explanation of military affairs. Lin Bin's words are very straightforward, and every time he tells the truth without any embellishment, why he won, why he lost, what foundation the victory is based on, and what strategy should be used to redeem the defeat when he encounters a defeated battle again. Later, Lin Bin began to say what kind of strategy should be adopted for the confrontation between the starting army and the cavalry.
"Why is there an extra 10,000 rangers in the Black Flag Army?"
Whether it was out of the consideration of guarding against the pre-Qin or making arrangements according to the actual situation, the Black Flag Army adapted by Lin Bin was a corps with the infantry army as the main force. He pondered that if he was heading westward, he would definitely fight in many different terrains, so he would need to have enough infantry troops. When they entered the mountainous areas and urban offensive and defensive battles, there was no doubt that the infantry army would be the main force, and the pre-Qin soldiers were indeed good at foot combat.
Meng Zhao was the commander of the Black Flag Army, and he could answer, but at Lin Bin's suggestion, he could only look at the officers under the Black Flag Army with encouraging eyes.
Zhang Henian was about forty years old, and he was an old man in the pre-Qin army, and he had experienced no less than 100 large and small battles in his life, and he had his own understanding of infantry combat. He knew that Lin Bin couldn't see it, but as a traditional soldier, he still hugged his fists, so he said: "My lord once said that in the far west, there is a country called Macedonia, and their monarch uses a square step formation. The invincible square infantry formation in the West was built with the aid of cavalry. β
Zhao Jun's mentality is very good, and he immediately threw away his burden after being woken up. Try to absorb the experiences that you have experienced in real combat. He hesitated and whispered: "Cruising outside, containing and counter-encircling the enemy, if ......"
Meng Zhao saw that Lin Bin was frowning again. Knowing that Zhao Jun's voice was small, he couldn't help but drink: "Talk like a man." Be louder! β
Zhao Jun raised his head stiffly and said his opinion loudly.
Lin Bin's previous way of training the army was very iron-blooded and cruel, and now this iron-blooded and cruel way of training is still continuing. An army that has risen from the pile of the dead, they are infused with an almost barbaric thought, 'to live to kill the enemy', who is the enemy. If it were modern, Lin Bin would have said, 'The enemy of the country is your enemy', and now he can only say one sentence. 'Enemy of the nation'. The slogans are pale and empty, the soldiers do not know what a nation is, they have their own way of understanding......
The descendants will say, "The enemy of the adult is our enemy!" β
The soldiers of the pre-Qin period said blankly: "Obeying military orders and killing people is." β
The tribe roared proudly: "Kill the enemy of the 'king'!" β
Servants and slaves have no right to speak, and may only dare to whisper: "Kill people in exchange for identity!" β
In this decade. If someone wants to educate soldiers universally. Teaching knowledge or literacy, that person's head is definitely feverish. It's not that the more ignorant you are, the better you control or anything, it's just that doing so will only distract the soldiers, not only adding some ideas that do not belong to the soldiers, but also allowing the soldiers to reduce the time they spend training survival skills, and the reason why the soldiers can survive on the battlefield is not knowledge, but physical fitness and martial arts.
Maybe it's time to say something wrong? But what's wrong. The reason why modern times have high requirements for cultural quality is because it was the era of hot weapons. Soldiers need to have a cultural foundation, easily understand some military tactics, maintain ordnance, and operate high-tech weapons.
The age of cold weapons. Without effective and rapid means of communication, it would be disastrous for the soldiers, who were the main force of war, to have their own minds. Although cruel, it is a fact, the soldiers of this era are more human beings than knives, knives that have no thoughts of their own and absolutely obey military orders!
Of course, Lin Bin has always been doing what he can, he is not educating, senior generals are the objects of his teaching, and for the facts, he only needs to teach the generals, whether it is soldiers or civilians, and when it is relatively peaceful, it is realistic to talk about education.
"Actually, I don't like nagging."
"The last will understand."
"But sometimes you can't just say a few words."
"The last general thought that the guards stationed in Guangmu would be of great importance. The adults explained the powerful relationship, Zhang He and Zhao Jun knew that Guangmu was a strategic place, and they would desperately defend it. β
Lin Bin ordered Meng Zhao to retreat and turned his head to look at Lin Dubu and Lin Boer.
These two deputy commanders of the wolf army, who always regarded themselves as 'servants of the king', each led 5,000 cavalry troops to cooperate with Zhang He and Zhao's army to defend Guangmu, and were stationed near the Shahai 30 miles behind Guangmu, and were arranged there to monitor the Shahai by the way.
"Dear master, we will not let you down."
Lin Bin showed a gentle smile, he still admired Lin Dubu and Lin Boer very much. But he also understands one thing, the people of the grassland have the nature of obeying the strong, they are a group of people who can be very loyal, and they are also a group of people who can betray at any time, and if you want to make these people respect and obey, you can only win all the time.
"Go ahead."
Lin Dubu and Lin Boer made a five-body surrender ceremony, and then silently withdrew from the big tent.
In the next ten days, it can be said that the wind and waves were calm, and the 'discussion' between Lu Yan and Zhang Qian finally ended.
LΓΌ Yan used the land on the north bank of the Yellow River to extort more ordnance from the Han than he imagined. For some unknown reason, the Han State was very generous and agreed to deliver the ordnance immediately, and the ordnance would be escorted by 10,000 cavalrymen and arrive in Wuliangsu within a month.
"It's not generosity......," Lu Yan grimaced, "The idea of the Han Kingdom is for us to attack and kill in the front, and they will take over the captured land in the rear. β
Lin Bin is not an idiot, of course he knows this, but he can't say it clearly.
Zhang Qian said that the 10,000 cavalry was the army sent by the Son of Heaven to be used under the command of the Lord, and the name of the commander with the troops was Han Anguo, who was a wise general under the account of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, during the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and was currently the captain of the Northland. I heard that it is a close confidant of the Taiwei of the Han Kingdom. β
Speaking of Tian Wei, Lin Bin is no stranger to this person who will hold the authority of the Han Kingdom in the future, "Tian Wei is very interesting. β
Lu Yan showed a disdainful expression, "It's just a greedy and lustful villain." β
"No!" Since Lin Bin has taken over the control of the pre-Qin dynasty, the list of ministers arranged by Meng Zhao in the Han dynasty is naturally available, "The news from Chang'an is that Tian Wei and Dou Ying suggested that the Son of Heaven should not be embarrassed by the ordnance. The Son of Heaven wanted to transfer the Northern Army, but Tian Wei persuaded the Northern Army and the Praetorian Guards not to be sent, and sent the border army over, saying that we were all from the border army, and we would definitely not resist if we had a friendship with the robes. β
Meng Zhao asked suspiciously: "Does the lord agree to let the Han army listen to the tent?" β
Lu Yan unabashedly showed a depressed expression.
"Han Anguo can come, but 10,000 cavalry troops can't come in."
"Does that make a difference?"
Lin Bin smiled but did not answer.
Lu Yan suddenly, "The adult wants to create a false impression to lead the Dou Gate Valve Group to deal with Tian Wei, and Tian Wei must first deal with the 'Eagle Dog' Gongsun Gate Valve and Su's Gate Valve of the Dou Gate Valve Group in order to take the initiative, and use Tian Wei's hand to attack the two gate valves?" That's a great plan! Not only that, as long as Tian Wei moves, the old mother of the Han Emperor, Wang Huan, will inevitably move, and at that time, the Han State will have no leisure to pay attention to us. β
ββ¦β¦β
Lin Bin suddenly felt that Lu Yan was thinking too much. Lin Bin just wanted to push Liu Che, the son of today, to speed up the process of history and reduce the consumption within the Han Kingdom, which was explained by Lu Yan, but the simple motive was a big conspiracy. Lin Bin secretly thought, "Let Lu Yan do the dark things in the future!" β
"Recruit the capital and deputy capital of the ten departments; The commander and deputy commander of the five armies. β
The first time they recruited, those people didn't dare to come slowly, so they hurriedly put down what they were doing and rushed over.
Lin Bin glanced at those who were sitting upright, and in a very serious tone, for the first time, announced his plan and the path to be taken by the ten divisions and five armies in the future.
The people who listened to the magnificent road of conquest looked at each other, but they did not dare to whisper, for fear of violating the strict discipline required.
"Honorable King, I will definitely be able to rush to the Western Regions before the autumn arrives to complete the mission you have entrusted me."
Lin Bin's eyes swept over the past......
The commanders and vice-commanders of the ten divisions stood up, and they used the same tone to express that they would live up to their trust.
The commander and deputy commander in military uniforms also stood up, their eyes flashing with fierce light, and an expression of excitement that could not be extricated, and they shouted in unison: "Conquer for you!" β
Lin Bin turned his head to look to the west, as if he could see through the tent and see his own military flags planted on the major city walls of the Western Regions everywhere.
"First unite them to kill the main force of the Huns, and then kill them and occupy the entire Western Regions!"
Isn't the preparation for war in the recent period all for the sake of this?
