Chapter 54: Amir Jiang's Thoughts
Ba Ye He Li did not die in the end, his prudence saved him, after escaping from the ambush circle, he arranged for more than ten horsemen to respond in the back to save him at a critical moment, forcing back the pursuing cavalry Anxi cavalry.
A quarter of an hour later, when Baye He Li joined up with the Chinese army brigade in great disarray, only eighteen of the 100-man pathfinder team survived.
"It's too cunning" Ba Ye He Li knelt on the ground, and said to Ge Shu Sili with a sad and angry face: "Those Anxi dog thieves actually disguised themselves as weeds and dead leaves, hid in the bushes, and they didn't find out until they entered their ambush circle. If it weren't for one of the lowly guards who wanted to pick up a bunch of weeds with a spear, which would have caused them to launch in advance, otherwise the lowly would have lost his life there. Humble and incompetent, failed to complete the task, and ask the general to punish him! ”
Ge Shu Sili frowned, helped him up, and comforted: "It's no wonder you, it's not that you're incompetent, it's that the Anxi dog thief is too cunning!" ”
He Li stood up and stood aside in shame. Geshu Sili asked gently, "Can you see how many Anxi dog thieves are ambushed there, and what kind of equipment are they?" ”
Ba Ye He Li thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "I listen to the sound of bows and crossbows, there are at least two hundred crossbowmen, and there are more than thirty cavalry chasing me. But it's just what I found, and I don't know how many there are if I haven't found it? ”
Goshu Sili asked, "So, do you think there are far more people in ambush?" ”
He Li hesitated a little and said, "It's just a guess to be humble." ”
"I'm curious." Ge Shu Sili's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "These Anxi dog thieves can come up with such a clever idea, you say that they wear grass rings on their heads, and their bodies are wearing rag clothes, and their clothes are full of grass and leaves, and even the birds in the trees have not noticed them?" ”
"That's true." "They lie on their stomachs on the ground, or behind trees, and look like haystacks or dead leaves. Even if you walk up to it, you won't be able to spot it without looking closely. ”
Ge Shu Sili showed an embarrassed expression on his face, things are difficult to do, and the Anxi dog thief has already taken precautions. From this point of view, the more than 200 scouts who had earlier must have suffered this way, and they broke into their ambush circle in a daze, and then died in a daze.
Now that the number of opponents is unknown, they have already set up an ambush circle and waited there, and if they boldly move forward, they will be caught in the net. If you turn around and go back now, you won't hear any useful information, and you will be really unwilling, and you will be too cowardly, and it will be a big blow to the morale of the army.
After thinking about it, Ge Shu Sili still decided to move forward. Although Ba Ye He Li lost his troops and lost his generals, he fortunately passed this important information back. Although the Anxi dog thief's method is clever, it has now been recognized, and it is a big deal to take every step of the way, not letting go of every piece of grass and dead leaves, and sentry into the past inch of land by inch of land.
It's just that the time has dragged on for a long time, and I still don't know anything about the movements of the main force of the Anxi Army on my side. Maybe now the main force of the Anxi Army has been driven towards this side, and I don't know, I am likely to collide with them. When the time comes, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.
If only a small number of elites could be sent to sneak over at night! But he quickly rejected this tempting idea, impossible, such an ambush, small troops simply can't get by, and the more than two hundred scouts in front are the best example.
Damn it! Who the hell did Kill a Thousand Knives come up with such a disgusting idea!
"Ahh Hundreds of miles away, Su sneezed into the Anxi camp west of Shana City, Xiao Quai. He was slightly puzzled, who was thinking about me?
Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Quzhi continued: "The tactics of digging out the heart have been explained just now, and in the early hours of this morning, the method of digging out the heart is used to play the big food striker. The trick is to run out a small number of cavalry on the two wings of your own side, lure the enemy to divide more enemies to chase, and when the army is empty, you can use elite cavalry to dig out its heart, and it is best to use heavy cavalry, the focus is to defeat the enemy's middle army at once. We actually won this time it was a fluke, if it weren't for the general's divine shooting to kill the main general of the big food, the Chinese army would be a stalemate, and the tactics of digging out the heart would have been a failure! ”
His tone in front of him was solemn and serious, but when he talked about the word "General Ben", he suddenly changed his tone, his tone was witty, and his demeanor was exaggerated. At first, he was like a general teaching the art of war, but at this time, he was like a child begging for praise from others.
Some veterans were slightly stunned, the first time they saw such a general, their skills were good, and there was also a general in front of them, why did they look like a child at this time. But when they think about it carefully, looking at his age, I'm afraid that he is not yet twenty, isn't he just a child?
For a while, these veterans were quite a little crying and laughing.
And Gu Xiaojun, Li Ergou, Amirjiang and others, who were familiar with Xiao Quai, laughed: "Okay, well, I know that you are good." The general's divine shooting, unparalleled in the world! So what if the enemy does not plan to send troops to pursue the flanks of our army? ”
Xiao Quzhi said lightly: "Those two wings will not stop harassing the enemy's main formation with bows and arrows, until the enemy army is overwhelmed, and they will naturally send troops to pursue." ”
"And what if the enemy just doesn't get it?" A veteran asked.
Xiao Quzhi thought for a while and said slowly: "If the enemy doesn't get hit, then use the main general to lure the enemy." This is the second tactic I'm going to talk about, which is called bluff and pocket surrounding. Column of arrows, the main general in the front, after the enemy will run back, lure the enemy to chase, if the enemy is in the plan, then the two wings quickly forward, set up a pocket formation, the enemy will be surrounded by it......"
Xiao Quzhi spoke very carefully and carefully, and used stones as both sides of the enemy and the enemy, and demonstrated it on the table, and soon everyone understood.
After the two cavalry tactics were explained, everyone's impression of Xiao Quai's illness had changed dramatically. Originally, I only thought he was whimsical and bold, but now I know that behind these two points, he actually has a plan.
Many generals and veterans of the Anxi Army suddenly became ashamed of their suspicions about Xiao Quai's night attack on the Dashi military camp last night. A few hours ago, they were worried about their future, feeling that they were an unreliable general, adventurous, not taking the lives of their soldiers seriously, and squandering them at will. And now, they feel lucky to have such a general. If you continue to fight like this, I really don't know how many feats I will make, and how many times I have made a few changes!
These two tactics are not Xiao Quai's inventions, he is just picking up people's teeth. When he was practicing and studying in Wudang, Xiao Quzhi was very interested in history and military affairs. For the use of ancient cavalry, Xiao Qubing most admired the cavalry raid of the Han Dynasty hussar general Huo Quzhi, the tactics of the big detour, and the flexible tactics of the Mongolian cavalry later. What I have just explained are the two tactics commonly used by the Mongol cavalry at their peak.
Xiao Quzhi cleared his throat and said: "These two sets of tactics can only be regarded as small, and the third set of tactics to be talked about below is the most important." ”
The eyes of the surrounding people suddenly lit up, and there were even more powerful ones. All they felt was a pounding heart. This is the art of war that only a general can learn, and this General Xiao taught it to everyone without reservation. We must not miss a word, and when the time comes, it will be passed on to future generations.
"This set of tactics can't really be counted as tactics, but as a kind of thinking. The cavalry can be separated and combined, and can be dispersed and gathered; Hundreds of miles for a period of time, thousands of miles away, in and out of the seamless, so the name of the clutch soldier is also ...... The key trick lies in being flexible and proactive, fighting when you want, running when you want, quickly disperse, quickly assemble, concentrate superior forces, and annihilate a lone enemy...... With this set of methods against the enemy, thousands of horsemen can be wrapped in thousands of people. We now have 6,000 light cavalry, and if we can skillfully use this method of fighting and contain tens of thousands of enemy troops, it will not be a problem. ”
Amir Jiang was a little stunned when he heard this, this method is a bit like the wolf pack tactics on the grassland. But it is more advanced, perfect, and systematic than this tactic on the steppe. It feels like the relationship between a newborn child and an adult strong man, of course, he is a child on his side, and Xiao Hou's tactics are adult strong men.
Amir Jiang suddenly felt ashamed, according to Xiao Hou's method, it was not a problem to use 6,000 cavalry to contain tens of thousands of cavalry. However, his father lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, thinking that Xiao Hou wanted the three thousand Lulu cavalry to be sent to death. Xiao Hou treated me so frankly, and these tactics and tactics were taught to me without reservation, and I actually obeyed my father's words, and prepared to flee with three thousand Lulu cavalry if something went wrong.
With Xiao Quai, Gu Xiaojun and they have been in contact with each other for a while. Amir Jiang learned more about Xiao Quai, and it turned out that he heard that he was an immortal disciple, but he didn't believe it very much. It's nothing more than innate divine power, but now he is more and more convinced, how can ordinary people think of such a systematic and perfect tactic, Xiao Hou is still so young, it must have been taught by his master.
"Father, father, this time you really want to go wrong. This time, the Anxi army conquered the river, and it was sure that it would win nine times out of ten. Father, don't be half-hearted and play your own little calculations......" Amir Jiang cried out in his heart.
