[Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Courage of the Soldiers, What is the Solution to the Split Sky]
PS: 8,000 words update! Ask for a ticket, will you give it or not?
The earth-shattering shouts of killing from the rest of the front division and the rear division spread throughout the four fields, and when the special preparation department heard it, the fifth company immediately ordered the whole army to mount their horses. But after waiting for almost half an hour, the horses shook their heads impatiently, and still did not see the men and horses of the front and rear divisions breaking through to the west. Zheng Ying and Wen Cui came over one after another and found the fifth company to discuss.
The fifth company didn't have a good idea, so it could only keep looking back at the direction of the legion's battalion, and said to the two: "Everything wait for the commander to come back!" ”
It didn't take long for Xu Dong's military order to come back, and the whole army of the special department pulled out the camp and immediately joined the legion camp.
Shen Yun, who was riding on a horse, immediately turned his horse's head and headed towards the legion camp, and Zhong Lisi had already led the men and horses of his company to spread out on both wings as a warning. These were the normal measures of the Han army's march.
It was less than a mile from the camp of the special department to the main camp of the legion, and it was just a matter of time. But when they arrived at the gate, a herald rushed out of the battalion of the legion, and ordered the special department to immediately go east, catch up with the pace of the middle division, and break through to the east.
Although Shen Yun and the others felt that it would be better to go west, a military order was a military order, not to mention that the guard brigade of the legion battalion had already set off.
So the whole army of the special division turned around and set off eastward. But after walking out of Sanli, the military order of the regimental battalion arrived: "The guard brigade and the special division immediately rushed to Shiliping to rescue the rest of the front division and the rear division, and according to the original plan, first break through to the west, and then turn back to the east." ”
"Damn, what's this going on?"
"That's right, one east and one south, and then the west, what's wrong with the palace marshal?"
……
The soldiers were full of complaints, but it was still the same sentence, a military order is a military order, although the special department was full of complaints, but it could not violate the military order. As a result, the special editorial department went to the southern battlefield with a company as an organization.
Horseshoe rumbling. The sound of hooves was like thunder. The afterglow of the setting sun pulled their galloping figures on the battlefield in the east for a long time......
As soon as I arrived at Shiliping, I crossed the stream covered with the corpses of my enemies and enemies, and the shouts of killing were already coming. Four miles ahead, the galloping war horses and the battlefield of slaughter are presented in front of everyone. But now all Shen Yun and the others can see is the dozens or hundreds of horsemen of the Ranger Department catching and fighting. With the addition of the new force of the Special Editorial Department, the Yueshi people, who were entangled with the Han army rangers, quickly retreated. The precursor riders didn't even have time to say hello to the special department, wiped off the blood sprayed on the tip of their noses and mouths, and rode south. Continue to sweep ahead and open the way for the brigade.
Shen Yun clenched the four-stone power bow and looked at the handsome commander dancing in front of him. At this time, the big thing moved.
"Left and right, front and back!" Shen Yun secretly muttered in his heart. Then I saw Da Xuan swing forward violently, and he understood. shouted: "Attention all." The enemy formation is unfolded, our army is the right flank, the third song is in the center, advance! ”
"Drive!"
"Drive! Spread out, spread out! ”
"To the right, to the right. Pull away from the distance! ”
Officers at all levels issued orders one after another. The whole formation slowly unfolded, like a majestic eagle in the sky, swooping forward.
Shen Yun suddenly felt a little empty. He was followed only by the pack horse in his left hand and the reserve horse in his right. The closest person to him was Zhao Xin on his right hand - there were three poplar trees on his right. The distance of five zhang can't be pulled, so it's only about three zhang away from Shen Yun.
And when Shen Yun turned his head to look to the left, he saw that Fang Xuan, who was supposed to be on his left, didn't know when he had opened a distance of fifteen zhang, and it was actually Zhou Hui who was diagonally inserted in the middle!
Immediately galloping, Shen Yun opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhou Hui, who was also looking at him with Yingying's eyes, she looked very heroic in a military uniform. Zhou Hui's mask was propped up, revealing that extremely delicate face, her rosy cherry lips were slightly open, and then she squirmed a few times, as if she was saying something.
Shen Yun didn't hear it, but the remnant sun was like blood, reflecting on her face, as if it was coated with a layer of red rouge, with an intoxicating halo - unfortunately, this is the battlefield!
"Shen Yuanrang, do you remember what the fifth instructor in the riding class of the Imperial University said what we are doing? Hee-hee, talk about love! We're on the battlefield now, do you want to fall in love again?! ”
Zhou Hui's crisp voice finally came from afar. Shen Yun heard it. He was about to open his mouth to answer, but Zhao Xin's angry roar suddenly sounded in his ears: "Shen Yun, Zuo Shen!" ”
Shen Yun was shocked, instinctively to the left, but still slow, a sharp arrow grazed his right cheek, and suddenly a trace of blood splashed. The sharp arrow flew past Shen Yun's earlobe again, and the whistling sound of breaking the air seemed to pierce the eardrum......
The battlefield has arrived!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The remnants of the front and rear divisions of the Third Army Corps of the Han Army were forming a front with infantry within five miles. The time was too short, and the front and rear divisions did not have time to dig camps and trenches, so they became this kind of shrinking formation, fighting fiercely with the Eighth Army of the Yue Clan.
And the Eighth Legion of the Yue Clan couldn't let go of these Han troops, they received an order that they must completely annihilate this Han army with only more than 8,000 people left no matter what!
At this time, the 3,000 infantry of the Han army formed a circular formation, with the square shield and the round shield blocking the front, building a defensive line, and commanding Daxu to stand in the middle of the 3,000 infantry. On the periphery of the circle array, there were 2,000 cavalry each guarding the two wings, and from time to time they were killed together with the Yue clan cavalry who rushed forward, so they must not be allowed to get close to the circle array.
The war drums of the Han army sounded loudly, and the horn sounded on the Yue's side, and neither army retreated half a step. The fight was even more tragic than Fang Cai's ten miles ping!
The Eighth Legion of the Yue Clan came in a hurry, and the foot soldiers were still following behind, so now they could only use cavalry to hedge against the Han army. Whether it is the Han Army or the Yueshi Army, the predecessor is the Second Class Army of the Great Han Dynasty guarding the frontier, and the combat power is equal to the top. The combat ability of each soldier is also almost the same, and often when the Han army shoots a Yueshi soldier, he is also shot, planted off his horse, and then trampled to death by his own people or the enemy's horse hooves......
When the special compilation department arrived, they saw the cavalry of the Yue clan constantly pulling and fighting with the Han army around the circle array. In the distance, through the afterglow of the setting sun, you can see billowing dust, and the cavalry of the Seventh Legion of the Yue Clan has also arrived.
The arrival of the Special Formation Department undoubtedly put pressure on the Eighth Army of the Yue Clan. They had to detach a force to fight against the Special Division. The special department used the enemy formation, and the enemy army rushed up with dozens or hundreds of cavalry, and was instantly surrounded by the two wings of the enemy formation, and then shot to death one by one!
It wasn't until the special formation rushed to less than a mile away from the Han army's circular formation that the special organization department waved again, and the whole army once again changed into a dense forward arrow formation. More than 2,000 cavalry and more than 6,000 war horses rushed into the formation of the Eighth Army of the Yue Clan, which was already somewhat scattered.
"Kill!" Shen Yun shot an arrow from afar, shooting down the enemy who was about to get close to him. It was the sixth enemy he shot off his horse.
On both sides of him, Zhao Xin and Zhou Hui were holding a round shield in one hand and a riding knife in the other, observing the left and right and the front at any time. This is already a dense front arrow formation, forming three rows, with the people in the middle shooting from a distance with bows, and the people on the left and right in charge of close combat.
The sound of horses' hooves on the battlefield is even denser than the raindrops in a downpour. The sound is going to overshadow the spring thunder again. But no one felt irritated by such a noisy environment, but a wave of heroism across the battlefield spontaneously emerged!
Zhou Hui's excited eyes came out of the helmet under the mask, her little hands tightly grasped the round shield and riding knife, her body was lowered, and she looked at the man she liked beside her. A romantic feeling of life and death actually came to my heart......
Shen Yun didn't have time to think about romance or not, he only knew that he had to keep pulling his bow and firing arrows. Also keep an eye on the flag commands ahead.
Da Xuan moved again.
"Prepare to the east. Prepare to head east! Shen Yun shouted loudly, his voice was already a little hoarse.
Although riding on the tallest Rui beast, Shen Yun still couldn't see the situation of the entire battlefield, only to see that the blood-red feathers of the Han army riding in front of him were surging, and around the red realm, there were enemy troops as dense as ants!
"Damn it. Where the hell is the commander going to take us? The former teacher's Daxu is obviously due south! Fang Xuan, who was following closely behind Shen Yun, scolded.
The Han army is constantly shooting at the enemy troops on the periphery, and the Yue's army is also constantly shooting at the Han army in the dense front arrow formation, often out of nowhere an arrow pierces the front door! If you react quickly, you can still flash, and if you slow down, you will have to kill one stone. Then fall the horses and turn them into fertile material. In this kind of situation where you can die at any time, no matter how good your temper is, you will be angry!
But at this time, Shen Yun was surprisingly calm. The whole army is heading east, and this is a roundabout outflanking. It seems that the robes of the Forward Legion Guard Brigade have already routed the enemy army, and the special department is going to go around behind the enemy army and surround them, right?
Shen Yun guessed well. The combat power of the Legion Guard Brigade could not be ignored, and in the desperate rush, it quickly cut into the array of the Eighth Legion of the Yue Clan. When the Special Editorial Department cut in, it was actually only a small number of enemies who had not collapsed. After a short period of thought, the commander Xu Dong immediately decided to cooperate with the guard brigade to annihilate this enemy. So choose the roundabout side after that.
But just as the special division rushed out of the enemy formation and made a detour to the side, it suddenly found the foot soldiers of the Eighth Legion of the Yue Clan rushing wildly.
At that time, Xu Dong was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that the Yue's foot soldiers were just rushing wildly and had not yet formed a defensive formation, he was overjoyed.
"Blow the trumpet, charge! Defeat this infantry! Xu Dong shouted loudly.
Very good, the Yue's infantry hurried to prepare to encircle and annihilate the front division of the Han army, but they didn't expect a huge horse team with 6,000 horses to suddenly appear and rush towards them. The outcome can be imagined...... Countless Yue's foot soldiers were knocked away by the huge impact of the war horse before they could defend themselves, flying in the air like shredded paper in the wind, and then fell heavily, followed by a large piece of horses' hooves trampled by!
It can be said that the place where the special editorial department rushed through was like a village that had been ransacked by bandits, and the rice fields that had been preyed upon by locusts.
The sunset finally said goodbye to everyone, and there was only a faint cloud of fire on the horizon, and there was only endless darkness around except for shouts of killing. In the coming darkness, Xu Dong actually lost his way. For a while, he couldn't find the direction he wanted to take a roundabout. I just feel that there are shouts of killing everywhere, what about the round formation of the Han army?
"Assemble! Blow the rallying trumpet! Xu Dong was suddenly a little flustered. After all, he was just a major staff officer before, and he suddenly became a commander in battle, and he was very happy when he scolded Fang Xuan and chased the north, but then he became a little flustered.
The soldiers of the Special Editorial Department, who were still scattering and pursuing after the attack on the Yue's infantry ranks, heard the sound of the horn, stopped their pursuit, and began to return to the Special Formation Department to assemble in front of the Great Order.
"Cool, so fuckingly cool!" Zhong Lisi lifted the two heads and smiled at Shen Yundao, who was already weak.
Shen Yun glared at him angrily and shouted, "It's not time to be happy, hurry up and gather the soldiers and prepare to charge!" ”
"Whoa!" Zhong Lisi excitedly lifted his bloody head to the side.
Shen Yun turned his head to look at Zhou Hui. I saw that this nervous Qiao Nizi was also smiling at the moment and was interested in some dead corpses with a few female soldiers next to her!
At this time, Wen Cui rushed over, really carrying two heads in his hands, and when he saw that Zhou Hui was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his hand and threw the head to Shen Yun, and said with a smile: "Shen Yuanrang, thank you for protecting Hui'er, this is a reward for your military achievements!" You're welcome! ”
Shen Yun panicked and threw his bloody head to Pang Tong on the side - damn, there was so much blood, and it was not uncomfortable to stick to his hands. Looking at the group of women who were inexplicably excited, Shen Yun could only clasp his fists and say, "Girl, you are really a man!" ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When the Fifth Company, Zheng Ying, and Wen Cui gathered around Xu Dong, it was already completely dark.
One after another, some people began to light the torches they carried with them. This kind of torch is made of pine oil. It can burn for about two hours, and the brightness is good when lit. And it's windproof and waterproof - of course. It will still be extinguished when it is directly immersed in water and when the wind is too strong - it can only be extinguished with sand.
At this moment, the surrounding environment is a little noisy, there seems to be shouts and killings in all directions, and the torches are also lit up by this, and there are lights in all four directions at the same time, not only Xu Dong for a while, but everyone else can't find where the direction is.
Of course. Some people also say that they want to watch the stars at night, but the sun has just gone down and the stars are not very obvious, so it may be enough in another quarter or two of hours. But what is missing now is time. Where is a quarter of an hour or two to waste?
Xu Dong only had time to briefly inquire about the casualties, and it was difficult for the three Qu Commanders to accurately calculate the casualties in this dark night, so they were just trying to estimate the number. As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Dong said anxiously: "Gentlemen, where is the enemy army now?" Do you have a plan? ”
Zheng Ying looked around and said, "Commander, the Yue's infantry we defeated just now came from the southeast, there are about more than 3,000 people, presumably the enemy's Eighth Army Corps in the east, I think we continue to go back now, we should be able to join the guard brigade and the front division." ”
Wen Cui pouted and said, "You still need to say, look behind you, there is a torch there, you dare to rush up?" ”
Zheng Ying gritted his teeth: "We have to try everything, we can't see it, and the enemy can't see it." It's better than staying here and letting the Yue's rebels make dumplings. ”
Xu Dong was also inclined to go back, so he looked at the fifth company, which was silent and silent, but seemed to be very reliable.
Fifth Lian said: "I think we should go all the way west now. ”
"Reason." Time is urgent, and Xu Dong's words are very short.
"First, the former division must be in the west. Second, the palace marshal will also go west. The Fifth Company simply said, "Because there is more than the Eighth Army to the east. ”
Everyone knew the news from the secret guard, and Xu Dong didn't want to continue east, in case he bumped into more Yue's people, more than 2,000 of them would have to be shrouded in horse leather.
"In that case, the whole army goes west." It's good to have a decision, Xu Dong didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered. On the battlefield, it's better to make a bad decision than to make no decision at all.
The whole army went west, and the rumbling hooves of the horses ran. But I didn't feel anything at first, but the more I ran, the more cold it was for the soldiers of the special editing department. The pine oil torch was bright enough, but it was only for foot soldiers. On this night, it is impossible to gallop fast. Once they run, the torches blow in the wind, and although they are not extinguished, the illumination range is more than doubled, and it is impossible for the horses to see the way clearly. Horses are also living creatures, and the unknown and darkness of the team also have an instinctive fear, and the speed will unconsciously slow down.
Of course, in the military training of the Han army, there is a trick called "blindfolded impact". That is, to blindfold the horses, and then urge the horses to gallop wildly, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they will collide with them -- this kind of training is to exercise the courage of the war horse and the horse-control skills of the soldiers, and it is mainly used in the training of heavy cavalry. Hussars and rangers don't need it - which light cavalry and ranger would stupidly ram someone's gun?
Therefore, the entire special editing department only ran a few dozen steps, and the whole team unconsciously slowed down. At the same time, the shouts of killing in front of him became louder.
At this time, Shen Yun really hated that the Holy Ancestor had assimilated the aliens so thoroughly - the shouts of the soldiers in front were still in Chinese, and even many of the technical actions of controlling the horses (such as whipping and shouting) were no different from those of the Han army, which made the special department unable to distinguish between friend and foe at all, and did not dare to release arrows easily.
At this time, a column of more than ten horsemen in the front team finally broke out and rushed towards the special department, and the torches in their hands shook irregularly.
"Not good. This is the enemy's code! Shoot them! Xu Dong reacted immediately. In the era of cold weapons, once it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy during the night march, the Lord will prescribe a few torch-wielding movements to distinguish the identity of the person coming from a distance. Of course, the special department does not know the enemy's torch code, and even if it has the good eye and brain power to remember it immediately, there is no guarantee that so many people will make it at the same time. So the identity of friend or foe will be confirmed at once - of course, if you are close, you can tell by the dress.
Wen Cui's third song immediately had more than ten horses split out, quickly approaching the enemy. Then, without waiting for the other to react, they were shot to death one by one - torches were the most obvious targets, and besides, they ran very close, only fifty paces, a distance not much different from shooting at a fixed target.
However, this move of the special editorial department can be regarded as a complete stab in the hornet's nest. Before they died, the enemy horsemen blew their horns, and countless groups of enemy troops suddenly split out from the dense torches in front of them. Converged and ran towards this direction. Time. In the dark curtain of the sky, there seemed to be countless fireflies rushing towards them.
"Fight!" Xu Dong gritted his teeth, "Put away the big silk and the whole army rushed over." Regardless of whether I am the enemy or the enemy, shout 'The great man is mighty, and the one who stands in my way will die'! Kill! ”
"The great man is mighty, and the one who stands in my way will die!" The whole army was excited. They all retracted their riding bows, drew their riding knives, and followed Xu Dong to charge westward.
This is the sorrow of night warfare in the era of cold weapons. It is impossible to distinguish between friend and foe at all. In film and television works, whenever there is a night battle, the protagonist's face is always very clear. That's a lighting effect. And in the night battle that night, Shen Yun's face was never revealed.
Of course, there were also night charges in the Han army's drills, where the infantry advanced in a phalanx and the cavalry charged in a prismatic formation. A prismatic array is different from a sharp arrow array. The sharp arrow formation has a sharp tip and two wings, but the prismatic formation is not, purely in three to four rows, and the interval between the horses and the horses must not be kept at three to five paces, which is already an extremely tight formation in the process of galloping the war horses, and it is not good that the two horses will kick each other when they run, and then, there will be no then. If it is a reserve horse and a pack horse, it will lose the most weight if it kicks its feet, but if it is a war horse...... Hehe, I can only go to hell to complain to King Yama.
The special compilation department advanced in a prismatic formation, and the speed was very fast. The enemy forces in front of them also did not put up stubborn resistance. When the Special Editorial Department came into contact with them, they seemed to be afraid of something, quickly separated, and then continued to fire arrows on both flanks. And the special department, which was busy with the breakthrough, could only use the round shield and the luck of not knowing whether it existed to fend off the arrows from both sides......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Shen Yun was in the middle of it, unable to accurately observe the entire battlefield. In fact, the battlefield is now cut in several places. Of course, the most fierce battle was near the circle where the former division Daxu was located, and Shen Yun's special editorial department was also coming in this direction, but the people in the special editorial department were not aware of this.
And where are the battlefields in the other places?
Hehe, the battle data compiled by the Yueshi people afterwards showed that in fact, only ten miles behind the special division department, the middle division of the third army of the Han army was breaking through to the south - they finally received Hou Jian's order to give up the eastward breakthrough and turn south to rescue the besieged former division and the rest of the later generations - they almost passed by the special division department, and did not come towards the location of the front division, but crashed headlong into the rear of the Yue's seventh army.
In the southwest direction where the former division was located, only four hundred steps away from the circular formation, the legion guard brigade that had previously chiseled through the formation of the Eighth Legion of the Yue Clan and was about to outflank it with the Special Editorial Department was surrounded by the Seventh Legion of the Yue Clan who rushed to support and fell into a bitter battle. The cavalry of the Guards Brigade slammed their whips and spurs into the belly of their horses, hoping to increase the speed of their horses, so as to expand the area of the battlefield, break through the shrinking encirclement, and find the position of the former division. But vast
This is the situation of the Han army, what about the Yueshi army?
"It's messed up, it's all messed up! Damn, Zeus is on top, how could a good siege and annihilation battle be fought like this? Congenes circled around the sand table, his flowing blonde hair fluttering on his forehead, and his pale blue eyes were full of anxiety, "These Yueshi people are all waste, and none of them can accurately execute the tactics arranged by Your Excellency!" ”
Rovinis stood in front of the sand table, the smile that had been light and breezy before was gone, but he was not as impatient as Congenes, but calmly looked at the already messy sand table, and said in a low voice: "Dear His Highness Congennes, as a general. The most taboo thing is impatience. What do the Han people say? Oh, yes, messing around! You should calm down. You must know that these Yueshi people, except for the Sixth Legion and the Yueshi Guards Legion in Dihua, are all temporarily composed of retired soldiers, they are not the Thracian Legion of Asia, let alone the Red Legion of Rome. You can't measure them by our standards. ”
Congenes gradually calmed down, but looked at the messy sand table, his tone was still irritated, and he said hatefully: "Then what should I do now?" The Seventh Army could not destroy the Han cavalry, which had only 3,000 men, after an hour, and the cavalry of the Eighth Army was routed. The infantry could not keep up again, but the Sixth Army Corps got lost and did not reach the battlefield until now. The Ninth and Tenth Army Corps also said that they could not be transferred...... Your Excellency, what do you say? ”
Rovinis said, "It's me who underestimated the Yue's ability to fight at night—oh no. It can't be underestimated, because the Han army's night combat ability doesn't seem to be strong. You see. The scout had brought back the news that their Legion's Tent had moved southwest. It was evident that they were waiting for their former division and the remnants of their later generations, or the ranks of the middle division to the east. It seems that this 'rabbit general' of the Han army is also vague about the situation now, and he is unable to command his army. ”
"So what? Is it just fighting until dawn? What if they find our shortcomings and break through from them? Conganes clenched his fists and said, "Damn, I will never allow this to happen." The Asian Raiders were proposed to Augustus by the spearhead. It's about whether I can get enough support in the Senate and whether I can inherit the throne...... Lord Rovinis, I will not allow such a thing to happen! You can't afford to lose to that guy from Batitas! ”
Rovinis nodded solemnly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, we are Gipurus?" The Rovinis family is on your side. I'm not going to allow that to happen. ”
Congennes took a deep breath, calmed down completely, and nodded, "Okay, Your Excellency, please think of a way." ”
Rovinis nodded, staring solemnly at the sand table and lost in thought.
Over there, Congenes was also looking at the sand table, and muttered in his mouth: "In the night battle, the communication methods of the Han army are not bad, torch gestures and code words are all one, how to distinguish between friend and foe?" Damn, if only it could accurately command the means of night communication of the army, what about the horn? No, the horns of the Yue people were changed from the Han army, and it is easy to confuse ......"
Rovinis's eyes lit up: "Confused? Haha, I thought of it! ”
Congenes looked up in surprise: "Thought of it?" ”
Rovinis gave Congenes a heavy hug and said with a smile: "Your Highness reminds you well, confused!" Haha, since it's already a scuffle, you might as well make it a little more messy! I decided to let all the Yue's snare drums and horns sound, beat the marching drums of the Han army for a while, blow the retreat trumpet for a while, and make all kinds of sounds. At the same time, the Seventh and Eighth Army Corps were ordered not to obey the command of the large battalion, and all the soldiers were commanded by the nearest one with the highest rank, and launched an attack on the Han army en masse. ”
"Disrupted?" Conganes also showed joy, "Your Excellency's method is really good. But then he frowned again, "But what if it ......"
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry," Rovinis knew what he was worried about, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile that he had won lightly before: "I will send an order to the Sixth Legion, there is no need to rush to participate in this melee, just go and finish off the legion camp of the Third Legion." In addition, the 9th and 10th Army Corps also hurried north along Chagan Lake, striving to reach the mouth of the river at the southern end of the Zabkhan River by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, which was the only way for the Han army to retreat north, and then they could be completely annihilated! ”
"Zeus is on top!" Congenes exclaimed sincerely, "Your Excellency is worthy of being my Roman god of war, the son of the sun!" ”
With one hand behind his back and the other hand on his chest, Rovinis bowed to Congenes and smiled, "Your Highness's praise is what I want to hear the most. ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The 3rd Army Corps battalion. Well, to be exact, there aren't any big camps anymore. Hou Jian was riding on a horse at the moment, surrounded by some staff officers, and the legion's tent had been demolished. The location is also in a small forest five miles west of Shiliping.
"Palace Marshal, the situation has become a mess, and our military orders can no longer be passed on, have we been waiting here?" Baili Shu asked anxiously.
Hou Jian looked at him with a remorseful face, his hand holding the reins clenched tightly, and only after a while did he say, "What can that be?" Hate only hate that the Romans are so cunning that they actually arranged seven legions to surround me...... Damn, I really look up to my old marquis. ”
Hou Jian couldn't help but burst into foul language, but Baili Shu didn't pay attention, but said hurriedly: "But we only have one personal guard brigade and a brigade of infantry now, all of which add up to more than seven thousand people, and there have been Yue's rangers approaching before, in case they are surrounded by the enemy's main force......"
Hou Jian pointed to the torches as dense as stars in the distance, and shouted angrily: "Do they still have the main force? Their main forces are there to surround and annihilate my soldiers! ”
Bailishu's heart darkened, and he said in his heart, who is this blame?
Is it to blame Hou Jian? In fact, Hou Jian is not wrong, generals are not jack-of-all-trades. Before learning the true strength of the enemy's army, Hou Jian's decision was correct. Blame Leng Yun, the former division commander? And he did the right thing. No enemy commander will miss that opportunity when he sees it. So who is to blame? Baili Shu didn't know either.
Hou Jian's eyes widened angrily, looking at the starry battlefield in the distance, his heart was like a knife. But there is nothing that can be done.
Baili Shu sighed and said in a low voice: "The sky is about to crack, what can I do?" This is the god who is going to kill me! Even if Su Wu is resurrected and Zhuge is alive, I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done! ”
"Zhuge is alive?" Hou Jian suddenly remembered his mentor in his mind, the oldest veteran Marshal Zhuge among the four generalissimos of the empire! What would he do if he were here?
Unconsciously, Hou Jian suddenly remembered what Marshal Zhuge said to him: "Generals, soldiers are brave." Its courage is not brave, non-violent, not violent, not the first horse, not brave, not the general to capture the flag...... The courage of the soldier is only to do one thing, that is, let the soldier not be able to kill the river, the soldier has no will to die, the soldier can live, and there is no abandoned son in the overall situation! Do you understand? (Note 1)
It was precisely because of these words that Hou Jian, who originally liked the mainstream style of Han generals, changed his tactical thinking and began to think about saving the lives of soldiers. And if these words are placed in the current situation, what should be done?
Hou Jian's gaze suddenly became scorching, and he suddenly said: "Zhongxian, pass on my military order: the whole army does not have to stick to the law, it is okay to fight on its own, there is only one purpose, the whole army is to the west!" Send out all the guards brigade to give orders, and be sure to pass the orders to the ears of the commanders of the various armies, and tell them that the commander is waiting for them here! ”
"Palace?!" Baili Shu was stunned for a moment, looking at the general he had followed for ten years in disbelief, as if he didn't know him.
"Go!" Hou Jian's face was as hard as a rock at this moment, and he turned around and ordered the other staff officers: "Order the foot soldiers to form a formation outside the forest, erect my Hou Jian's Daxu army flag, and resist if the enemy comes to attack." Retreat to the latter without our military order, behead! All civilian staff officers are also equipped with swords and bows, and if they hear the order, they will be killed! ”
Everyone was stunned, and said in unison: "Obey the orders of the palace marshal!" ”

Note 1: The meaning of this passage is mainly to say that a general is the courage of a soldier, but this courage is not reflected through bravery, cruelty, and irritability, let alone through taking the lead, being brave, and capturing the flag. All the generals have to do is not to let the soldiers be pawns across the river, the kind of cannon fodder that can be discarded at any time, as long as they really care about their life and death, no one will be easily given up at any time!
This passage is my own summary. In classical Chinese, there are always some meanings that cannot be fully explained in the vernacular. Therefore, it is better for everyone to read classical Chinese to experience the spirit. (To be continued......)
