vs 24 Strategizing for a Thousand Miles [8]
"Mr. Han, what do you think?"
Although Yang Feng likes to show his superiority when he has nothing to do, after all, he is an indigenous person who has been in the border area all his life, and he knows that no matter how big he is, he can't be bigger than a knife. In the face of the extremely terrifying arrogance of strength, he only felt that he was alone, and naturally he had to pull in all the people he could.
After all, Han Xian is also an old man who has been in the border area for more than ten years. Even if he doesn't deal with Yang Feng very well on weekdays, but at this moment, Han Xian definitely has no reason to turn his elbow outward.
Of course, Han Xian would not turn his elbow outward. As soon as he spoke, his position was very clear.
"On the order of Guo Qushuai, he came to assist Zhang Qushuai. Now that the war is imminent, how can we cause controversy because of a small matter? Guo Qushuai has long advised that once there is an important matter that needs to be decided, a certain person should obey Zhang Qushuai's orders. ”
"Huh? …… Old Han, you ......"
Yang Bong was taken aback. However, in the eyes of Zhang Qiang, this action seems to be a bit exaggerated. Of course, Han Xian said this, which is in line with the meaning of arrogance. A little thing, insolence will not care about it.
Song Guo glanced at Han Xian and suddenly smiled.
"Captain Zhang, you are the commander, you have the final say. However, the 117th brother under [me] is a good man who has been with miscellaneous knives and arrows for many years. These baby soldiers under your command, don't you need these old bones to point and point?
Don't say anything else. Let's just say that the dolls killed someone, do they know who they killed? The barbarians will scatter as soon as they fight, do they know which one is the most cost-effective to chase? ”
This problem does exist. The Taixing army went up and down, and the understanding of the Huns and all kinds of miscellaneous Hu was indeed not deep. Not to mention others, even arrogant himself, his understanding of the Xiongnu is only limited to books and other people's words. No way, over the years, the Taixing army has gone up and down, and has never had any dealings with the miscellaneous people.
Like Liao Hua, the ten-member commander of the scout team, who can barely speak the Xiongnu dialect, there are less than ten people in the whole army. And Liaohua's Xiongnu dialect was still learned from the subordinates sent by Song Guo to guide the way.
"But, Old Song, your subordinates don't know the cavalry tactics of our army!"
As the original proposer and main executor of the surprise attack on the Huns, Lejin is still in a very comfortable mood these days. Seeing that Zhang Qi did not speak for the time being, Le Jin believed that he was the main general and Zhang Yan's henchman, so he naturally wanted to open his mouth to refute Song Guo.
Song Guo's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this. His brothers, of course, are all brave and good at riding. However, when it comes to large-scale group cavalry operations, it is really a bit overwhelming.
In terms of cavalry and archery skills, Song Guo was certainly qualified to despise the cavalry of the Taixing Army. However, when the cavalry of the Taixing Army set up a formation, in the face of the enemy's "Mount Tai crushing" crushing momentum, Song Guo, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel a little numb.
"It's a surprise attack, not a frontal attack. Xiaole, can you use your tactics? ”
After all, Song Guo is a veteran who has fought many battles, and he still has knowledge. Seeing that Le Jin was about to speak again, Song Guo took the first step and blocked Le Jin's words:
"You know, you kid want to say, you brothers don't understand the drums and trumpets in your army. It's okay, just split the brothers and follow your men one by one, just as a guide, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Lejin was stunned, but the generals of the Taixing Army were stunned, and Yang Feng and Han Xian, who were the forces of the state, were also stunned on the spot.
As a guide, this means that Song Guo completely gave up the command of more than 100 cavalry under his subordinates.
Not to mention how much merit and reward will be lost. In a place like Bingzhou, whether speaking counts or not, to a large extent, depends on whether your fists are hard enough and whether your subordinates are enough. In case the madman secretly absorbed and annexed these scattered knights, Song Guoke would end up with no return.
Therefore, let the knights of the state be the guides, and the arrogance can be brought up when the army is sneaking forward in the early stage. However, when facing a big battle and preparing to win the final victory, Zhang Qi could not speak. If he opened his mouth, the most normal reaction of Song Guo and the three of them was to turn their faces on the spot.
However, if this idea was proposed by Song Guo himself, it would be a great thing. The premise is that Song Guo must be trustworthy and arrogant.
"Brother Song, don't you think about it again?"
In Han Xian's words, there was a faint gaffe.
"Yes, yes, Brother Song......"
Yang Feng also opened his mouth to persuade him.
"It's okay, I can trust Captain Zhang. Besides, those brothers have bright eyes, and maybe whoever will be able to bring back the head of 'Subu Shan Yu'. When the time comes, the forehead can also be stained. When others asked, "Who killed Subu Shan Yu"1, he said, "It's E's brother!" That glory, hehe......"
Since Song Guo has said all his words to this point, it is difficult for others to ask anything more. Han Xian and Yang Feng glanced at each other, their expressions were a little helpless, and they said together:
"May I respect Zhang Qushuai's life!"
For this result, Zhang Qi is very satisfied. To be honest, he really can't rest assured about the knights of the state who are lax in military discipline. It is enough to put these semi-amateur cavalrymen on the wings and make a strong momentum. If you really want to break the enemy, you still have to look at Lejin's ability.
If Le Jin can't do it, then the 1,000 elite cavalry infantry under the command of Zhang Yan himself will form an infantry battle formation and attack the Southern Huns in Meiji City. The Southern Huns still had a set of fighting on horseback, but if they dared to fight hard with the Han infantry formation, they would be dedicated to contributing to the Han army.
In the years when there were no bilateral stirrups, the impact power and hand-to-hand combat capabilities of the cavalry were quite questionable. Except for those elite knights with superior martial skills, ordinary cavalry does not have the ability to engage head-on. If he did not recognize this clearly, he would never easily lead a large army on an expedition thousands of miles away.
Even if this trip fails, with the combat effectiveness of the arrogant troops, it is enough to ensure that they will fight and retreat under the pursuit of 10,000 nomadic cavalry. Moreover, the Lejin department is all quietly equipped with bilateral stirrups and horseshoes. With these three treasures of cavalry, the Lejin division can at least fight against double the number of nomadic cavalry.
Of course, the danger of a war and the shedding of a horsehoe can lead to the demise of a country. Facing the critical decisive battle that is about to unfold, Zhang Qiang's heart can be described as a lot of pressure. However, things have developed so far that there is not much room for adjustment. The so-called "planning is in people, and success is in heaven", which is a vivid portrayal.
The plan has been decided, and the next step is to seize the time to rest. At a distance of fifty miles from the Xiongnu royal court, the news of the arrival of the army could not be blocked for a long time.
So, the decisive battle is tomorrow!
ps: 1 Subu Shan Yu: At that time, the Southern Xiongnu nobles set up a Shan Yu on their own, called "Subu Bone Du Hou Shan Yu". Abbreviated as "Su Bu Shan Yu".
