Chapter 379: Taking the Initiative 2
readx; Hearing Wei Hong's remarks, everyone present fell silent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After a short period of thought, Wei Zheng casually picked up a ceramic teacup and a silver teapot from the table, and slammed the teacup and teapot together, the teacup shattered in response, and the teapot was intact. Wei Zheng put the teapot back on the table, patted the crumbs off his hands, looked at Wei Hong and asked, "When the two touch, how can the disparity between strength and weakness be compensated?" ”
Since Wei Hong dared to say that he took the initiative to seek war, he naturally had a strategy in his heart. Standing up, he walked in front of Wei Zheng, took out a triangular fragment the size of a fingernail from the ceramic pieces all over the ground, just placed it on the ground, rushed up the edges and corners, and then picked up the silver pot and slammed it. The pieces of the teacup are intact, and the bottom of the pot is pierced by a crisp piece of hole. Placing the bottom of the teapot facing everyone on the table, Wei Hong tapped the edge of the tear with his fingernails and smiled: "The reason why the teacup will be broken by the teapot is that the texture of the teacup is not hard enough, but in fact, it is because the clay that makes up the teacup is too scattered and not united enough. Although the fragments of the teacup are small, from another point of view, the clay becomes tighter, and it can play an effect that the teacup cannot achieve. ”
On the surface, Wei Zheng understands it, but he doesn't quite understand what Wei Hong said has to do with taking the initiative to fight Tuyuhun. Wei Zheng pinched the tip of his beard with his thumb and forefinger, bent his beard to an arc, and asked lightly, "What do you mean?" ”
The corners of Wei Hong's mouth rose slightly, and he reflexively returned to his position, and said confidently: "The Tuyuhun army seems to be stronger than us on the surface, but in fact it is like a teapot, and its strength is too scattered to be twisted into a rope. Once we adopt a little face-breaking tactics, it will not be difficult to break up the Tuyuhun army. The Tuyuhun army sent the vanguard army to take the lead in attacking Liangzhou, which was nothing more than because the main force was slow to act, so it can be seen that there were not many cavalry in the main force of Tuyuhun, or all the cavalry was buried in Liangzhou City as a vanguard army. Either way, it's extremely beneficial for us. Our purpose is very clear, to smash the Yellow Dragon, we need to fight across the border, so most of us are cavalry. Together with the captured horses of the Tuyuhun vanguard army, we can turn all the soldiers into cavalry and form a pure cavalry army of 15,000 people. ”
Wei Zheng didn't care about brushing his beards, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "You mean, with pure cavalry, you can impact the Tuyuhun army and tear the enemy formation?" ”
Wei Hong nodded noncommittally: "The Tuyuhun army is only twice as large as ours, but we are indeed pure cavalry, if the soldiers add war horses, the number alone will be equal to the enemy's army!" Although the war horse will not kill the enemy by itself, but with the soldiers, it is not as simple as one plus one equals two! Speaking of this, Wei Hong stretched out his hand and pointed to the fragment of the teacup on the ground, and said proudly: "We are not a broken pottery shard, but a stone. Throwing a stone into a teapot, which is stronger or weaker, don't I need to say more? ”
Hearing this, Wei Zheng looked down at the broken pottery shard, then at the teapot, and after a moment of silence, he turned his head to look at everyone: "What do you think?" ”
Cheng said a lot of words, all of which were reckless remarks, which were overwhelmed and directly ignored by everyone. Qin Huaiyu, who was originally a conservative, changed his mind at this time, and said with a little shame: "I almost missed a big thing because of me!" It's just that Huaiyu doesn't know something, even if the enemy has few cavalry or no cavalry at all, but the infantry is a long weapon, what should I do? Even our cavalry successfully tore apart the enemy's formation, and there was nothing good to be gained in the face of long weapons. ”
Qin Huaiyu's concern was very reasonable, Wei Hong nodded at Qin Huaiyu, feeling that Qin Huaiyu had asked the point, and then explained: "This possibility is not ruled out, but this possibility is extremely low." Because the purpose of the Tuyuhun army is to deal with our Tang Dynasty, the two armies will fight in close combat, and the long weapons will be overpowered by short soldiers, which is not conducive to Tuyuhun's grand strategy. Therefore, Tuyuhun would never take such a big risk and carry a large number of long weapons. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if all the staff are long weapons, it is wishful thinking to use long weapons to get benefits, after all, our cavalry is not all carrying short soldiers, but more are also long weapons. ”
As soon as Wei Hong finished speaking, Wei Chi Baolin asked, "What if Mr. miscalculates and the enemy cavalry is numerous?" ”
Wei Hong chuckled lightly and said: "We are not blindly seeking war, naturally we want to find out the equipment of the enemy's army. All you need to do is let the hunters scout with the goshawks first, and once the enemy cavalry exceeds 5,000, we will turn to defending the city. ”
Li Dejian raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "That group of hunters' eagles can already detect the Tuyuhun vanguard army. But if you want to use it to determine whether the enemy has cavalry, I'm afraid it's too difficult for these birds, right? After all, they are not people. When talking about the word 'birds' again, Li Dejian deliberately accentuated his tone, although these birds have made great achievements, Li Dejian still looks down on them.
In the face of Li Dejian's questioning, Wei Hong disagreed, and casually called a little maid and whispered a few words in his ear, and soon the little maid brought the mustachioed hunter over. Although the mustachioed hunter is not a person from the Tang Dynasty, he also knows that none of the people present are ordinary people, and as soon as he enters the door, he gives a big salute to Wei Zheng, who is the top. Then he said respectfully to Wei Hong: "Mr. called me, what is the matter?" "The mustachioed hunter's face was a little ugly, probably because Wei Hong's words on the city wall a few days ago, 'Smell the incense, eat it even more' frightened him. Seeing that everyone present was as perverted as Wei Hong, and the mustachioed hunter was afraid that he would be eaten raw by this group of people, Yaxing went to the next oil pot, added some seasonings, and made a full table of personal meat.
Wei Hong's ability to know people's minds is based on his understanding of a specific person. He has a general relationship with the mustache hunter and doesn't know about it, so he doesn't know why the mustache hunter has an ugly face. But this is not the point, Wei Hong didn't care, and said with a smile: "You can tell me how to use the goshawk to distinguish whether the enemy army has cavalry." ”
Not to eat me? That's easy! The mustachioed hunter breathed a sigh of relief, and was very proud when he talked about the goshawk, and always had a smug smile on his face: "The main role of the falcons we train is to search and hunt wild beasts. How to tell if the enemy army has cavalry is simply an old job for Falcon. The falcon can distinguish between man and beast, and does not cry when it sees man, because man cannot hunt, but it does not cry when he sees a beast. Once the falcon flies over the enemy and cries, it means that the enemy army contains animals, that is, war horses. (To be continued.) )
