Chapter 36 (I) The First Battle
(PS: The second more is delivered.) )
"Youzi said: The use of etiquette, harmony is precious. The Tao of the first king is beautiful. Small and big reasons, some can't do it. Knowing and making peace, without etiquette, is not feasible. Youzi said: Faith is close to righteousness, and words can be replied to. Respect is close to courtesy, far from shame. Because he does not lose his relatives, he can also be a sect. Zi said: A gentleman has no food to eat, and no place to live. Be sensitive to things and be cautious in words, and there will be righteousness and righteousness. It can be said that studious has ....... ”
The neat recitation of the soldiers of the 800 gentlemen's army echoed on the battlefield, and the gentleman's banner with black letters on a white background, as well as the two sub-flags of 'benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith' and 'gentleness, courtesy, and frugality', also fluttered in the wind on the vast battlefield. In the ranks of the rebels on the opposite side, there was an earth-shattering hilarious sound, countless rebel generals and soldiers laughed and burst into tears, and there was even a tragic tragedy of the cavalry laughing and falling from their horses to the ground.
"Wha......ha Of course, the one who laughed the most among the rebels was Zhenrong himself, patting his thigh and laughing wildly: "Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith? Gentle and frugal? Zi said? Isn't it fun to learn and learn? It seems that I really underestimate Tao Ying'er, a nerd, and I can even think of the idea of reading the "Analects" on the battlefield, which can be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented. Wha......! ”
"Senior Brother Great Protector, it seems that Tao Ying Xiao'er is even easier to deal with than we imagined." He Zi, Zhenrong's right-hand man, also said ecstatically: "Senior brother and Dharma Protector, please look, Tao Ying Xiao'er doesn't know what to arrange troops at all, the cavalry's position is very loose, and there is no rush to repair the antlers to resist the protection of horses, as long as our team rushes up, we can immediately completely disperse Tao Ying Xiaoer's team and divide and surround it!" ”
"I saw it earlier! It seems that Zhao Kuo'er is also a hundred times stronger than Tao Ying'er! Zhen Rong laughed and shouted proudly: "Order the whole army, set up the front and arrows, the cavalry will concentrate in front of the central swoop, and the infantry will be divided into two wings, and if there is an opportunity, immediately launch a surprise attack and capture Tao Yingxiao'er!" ”
"No!" Soon, 10,000 rebels began to arrange their troops, and the number of more than 3,000 cavalry was arranged to the middle army, and the position was prominent, and the remaining 7,000 infantry were divided into three brigades, and the two teams of soldiers were divided into two wings, and the oblique team was spread to the left and right, and the cavalry joined forces to form a huge sharp arrow, and there were about 3,000 auxiliary troops behind the arrows to protect the grain and grass. The sound of trumpets and war drums echoed through the huge ranks of the rebels.
Zi said: Isn't it pleasant to learn and learn it? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? Youzi said: "He is also filial and easy to offend, and he is rare." Those who are not good at committing crimes and are good at making trouble, there is no such thing. A gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born from the beginning. Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence. Zi said: Clever words, fresh and benevolent ............. ”
Compared with the speed of the Xuzhou enemy Cao Ying's army, it is simply slow to go home, and there are even a lot of messy situations between the ranks of the troops, if there is a change of commander, it must have been ordered to launch a surprise attack, but Tao Ying refused to seize this opportunity, and led the 800 gentlemen's army to just shake his head and recite the "Analects", turning over the first study chapter of the "Analects" over and over again.
"Nerd! Do you know how to fight?! Lin Qing, a supernumerary member of the Junzi Army, couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed up to reason with Tao Ying and accuse Tao Ying of talking about it on paper.
"Shut up!" Tao Ying's reaction startled Lin Qing a lot, Tao Ying, who usually had a hippie smile in front of Lin Qing, seemed to be a different person at this moment, and shouted to Lin Qing with a serious and majestic face: "Shut your mouth!" Usually I can let you, but now the two armies are at war, say a word of nonsense, interfere with my command, and immediately engage in military law! ”
It was the first time for Lin Qing to see Tao Ying talking to her like this, and she was surprised, and she didn't know what to do for a while, and the words accusing Tao Ying on her lips were obediently swallowed back into her stomach. And at this moment, Tao Ying didn't have the heart to explain to this troublesome little girl, turned his head back and just observed the enemy's situation, when he saw that Zhen Rong arranged more than 3,000 main cavalry in the arrow area, and when he saw Zhen Rong's banner appear in the cavalry team, Tao Ying couldn't help but laugh and muttered: "God help me." ”
After another moment, the Zhenrong rebels, who had finally completed the arrangement, slowly advanced to the front of the Junzi army, and according to the unwritten rules of battle, each side sent an archer to run to the middle of the battlefield, back to back to the direction of the self-army to draw the bow and release the arrow, the place where the arrow landed was also the front end of the front team of both sides. Because the archers of the Gentleman's Army grasped the distance very well, and the arrow happened to fall in front of the cavalry of the Gentleman's Army in the first row, the Gentleman's Army did not need to change the distance, but finally stopped reciting the Analects in a very funny way, and the front team of the Zhenrong rebels had to move forward more than 20 steps before standing in front of the arrow.
The formation is fixed, according to the rules of the battle in this era, Tao Ying and Di Rong The two coaches each rode their horses to the front of the battle to answer, and the nearly four martyred Zhen Rong was tall and burly, pointed at Tao Ying with a horse whip and shouted: "Tao Ying Xiaoer, the disparity between the outnumbered people, why don't you get off the horse and surrender quickly?" If you surrender, for your father's sake, I will spare your life!" Otherwise, with the official order, the tens of thousands of troops in Guangling will be able to trample you into meat powder in an instant! ”
"Whew!" Tao Ying spat out a mouthful of saliva with great grace, pointed at Zhen Rong and scolded: "Ji Rong, you are the first ungrateful and shameless dog thief in the world!" My father entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, and his kindness was as heavy as a mountain, but you didn't want to repay the service, but instead led the army to flee south, and brazenly killed Lord Zhao of Guangling, arson and harmed the people, poisoned the living beings, was unkind, and was full of crimes! Today, this son led the army to crusade against you, a dog thief, and you even dared to speak wildly and boldly commit a crime! Dog thief, to tell you the truth, your time of death has come! ”
"Bold boy! I don't know whether you live or die, and you dare to insult me?! Zhen Rong was furious, turned to the generals behind him and shouted: "Who is going to capture Tao Ying Xiao'er?!" ”
"The last will go!" He Zi, the chief general under the command of Zhenrong, agreed, and slapped his horse and speared out of battle.
"Who's going to catch the dog thief for me?!" Tao Ying also turned to the army behind him and shouted.
"The last general wishes to ......."
Xu Sheng, who had long been looking forward to showing his skills on the battlefield, shouted, and was about to shoot his horse out of battle, but Tao Ji next to him grabbed him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, wait to see a good show." ”
"Watching a good show?" Xu Shengyileng, "On the battlefield, what kind of drama can you watch?" ”
"The last general Guan Yu is willing to go!" At this time, a gentleman army with a wooden handle sword in his hand slapped his horse out of the battle, and shouted at He Zi, who came to challenge in front: "I am Guan Yu Guan Yunchang!" Come and get the name, Guan Yun will be under the long knife, and he will not kill the nameless rats! ”
"Guan Yu Guan Yunchang?!" Xu Sheng, Lin Qing, He Zi and Zhi Rong in the distance were all stupid, how could Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, who said that Wen Jiu beheaded Huaxiong, also in the ranks of the Gentlemen's Army? How come we haven't heard of it? And He Zi, who was fighting against Guan Yu, was even more frightened and hurriedly reined in the horse's head, and shouted at Guan Yu who came out of the Junzi Army: "You are Guan Yu Guan Yunchang who killed Huaxiong with warm wine?!" ”
"Definitely!" The gentleman with a long-handled broadsword shouted loudly: "The eldest husband will not change his name, and he will not change his surname!" My surname is Guan Mingyu, the universe of Yu! The word cloud is often, Changshan Zhao Zilong's often! ”
"Bang, bang, bang!" A fainting sound sounded on the battlefield, Xu Sheng and Lin Qing were angry and funny, and hurriedly asked Tao Ji: "Third general, is there such a coincidence in the world?" How can the name and character of this General Guan Yu be so similar to the famous Guan Yu Guan Yunchang? ”
Tao Ji's answer made Lin Qing and Xu Sheng angry, "Could it be unfortunate?" He was originally called Guan Er, but he didn't have a word, so my second brother changed his name to this one, and used him specifically to fight the enemy. ”
Even more angry was the poor General He Zihe, who was almost frightened, and after a long sigh of relief, He Zi shot his horse and rushed over with a shout, "Guan Yu Xiaoer, eat me with a knife!" ”
"Nameless rat, eat me!" Guan Yu also slapped the horse with a knife, rode the horse and rushed to He Zi, the two horses hedged, and in a blink of an eye, they were less than thirty steps apart, but at this time, Guan Yu suddenly reined in the horse's head, threw a big knife at He Zi, and then turned the horse's head and ran towards the formation, shouting in his mouth: "Nameless rat, spare your life this time!" ”
"Knock, knock, knock, knock!" The battlefield was also a series of fainting sounds, and He Zi easily dodged the wooden-handled broadsword thrown by Gong Yu, and rushed with his horse, determined to stab this lazy and obscene 'Guan Yu Guan Yunchang' off the horse and grab the first credit. But at the same time, Tao Ying, who had long since retreated into the heavy cavalry ranks, raised the pennant and waved it............
Zi said: For politics and morality, such as Beichen, live in its place, and all the stars are together. Zi said: There are 300 poems, in a word, he says: Thinking is innocent! ”
The sound of the new Zi Yue Shiyun came, and the light cavalry of the 160 Gentlemen's Army in the third team suddenly launched a charge, neatly roaring Zi Yue Shiyun slapped his horse forward, advanced through the gap between the first two columns of heavy cavalry, and pulled the bow and released the arrows together, and all the 160 arrows were shot at He Zi who rushed to the horse, and the poor General He Zi was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his steel gun to block the arrows, but he could not block the east and the west, and in the blink of an eye, he was shot like a hedgehog by the people and horses, screaming and falling to the ground, and the people and horses were killed together.
"Senior brother-!" General Zhenrong hissed in disbelief.
Zi said: Lead the government, all with morality, and the people are free and shameless. Guide it with virtue, with courtesy, shame and character. Zi said: I have five out of ten and am determined to learn, thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, sixty and obedient, seventy and do what I want without exceeding the rules! ”
At the same time, the last two groups of light cavalry of the Gentleman's Army also rode forward, passed through the wide gap between the first two groups of heavy cavalry, kept a neat line and charged forward, and together they drew their bows and arrows on their horses, and threw the rain of arrows towards the front team of the Zhenrong rebels in the distance. The arrows used by the light cavalry of the Gentlemen's Army this time were all sharp and thin light arrows, and the range was very long, and they fell overwhelmingly into the ranks of the Zhenrong rebels, and the screams of the arrows one after another suddenly echoed in the ranks of the Zhenrong rebels.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”
The first time I saw such a shameless tactic, the Bodhisattva who was so angry that he yelled frantically and ordered the rebel cavalry to release arrows to shoot back, but the speed of the Gentleman's Light Cavalry was far beyond the imagination of the Bodhisattva, and when the dizzy rebel cavalry was still pulling the bow and arrows in a disorderly manner, the three teams of the Gentleman's Army Light Cavalry had already thrown out two waves of arrow rain, and instantly shot down a large piece of the rebel cavalry, and when the rebel cavalry finally pulled up the bow and released the arrows, the Bodhisattva found that the rebels' bows and arrows could not shoot so far at all, Most of the arrows were still twenty or thirty steps away from the light cavalry of the Gentleman's Army, and they were not a threat to the Light Cavalry of the Gentleman's Army at all.
Even more shameless tactics appeared, when the rebels fired arrows to return fire, the first team of Gentlemen's Light Cavalry still turned around and ran when the threat was very small, and quickly retreated to an absolutely safe area, while the second team of Gentlemen's Light Cavalry charged forward, throwing a wave of arrows, and then immediately turned around and ran, changed to the third team to charge and shoot arrows, and then turned around and fled, and so on.
In the case that the range of bows and arrows was not as good as that of the cavalry of the Junzi Army, after eating more than a dozen waves of arrow rain in succession, the Bodhisattva finally couldn't bear it anymore, relying on his many soldiers, raising his sword and shouting and ordering: "Beat the drums, the cavalry charge, rush up and fight with Tao Ying Xiaoer!" Those who capture Tao Ying children alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold! ”
"Knock knock knock!" With the beating of the drums of the charge, the rebel cavalry, which still had an absolute advantage in numbers, immediately launched a charge, screaming and waving knives and guns, and rushed towards the light cavalry of the Gentlemen's Army with a fierce momentum, overwhelmingly pounced on these shameless Gentlemen's Light Cavalry.
It was also at this time that Tao Yingling's flag waved, the sound of gold sounded, and the Eight Hundred Gentlemen's Army finally used the most shameless tactics in this era - whether it was the three teams of light cavalry in front or the two teams of heavy cavalry in the back, all of them turned their horses' heads and ran away. As for the deputy director of Tao Yingtao, the chief general of the Junzi Army, it was even more of a reins of Lin Qing's war horse, and he took the lead in escaping for his life absolutely shamelessly!
The most shameless thing is that the three teams of gentlemen's light cavalry who have changed from the rear team to the front team, relying on the Takahashi saddle under the buttocks and the stirrups under their feet, while riding their horses to escape, desperately turning back and releasing arrows, shooting while escaping, and releasing arrows while running, and the poor cavalry of the Zhenrong rebels, although they have a certain advantage in the speed of the horse charge, but the feather arrows of the Junzi Army's light cavalry keep flying, and when they hurriedly dodge the bow and arrows, they do not have the help of Takahashi saddle and stirrups to maintain balance, and the speed can only be forced to slow down, There are even rebel cavalry in order to avoid arrows and block the path of their companions, which further aggravates the confusion and speed of the rebel cavalry and is forced to slow down, so let alone rushing forward to fight with the gentleman's light cavalry, it is difficult to close the distance of the gentleman's light cavalry!
Some friends must ask, are the cavalry of the Zhenrong rebels all idiots? Why didn't they fire arrows when they charged, which was also to interfere with the retreat speed of the light cavalry of the Gentlemen's Army? In fact, the answer is very simple, stirrups and Takahashi saddles, without the help of these two simple and magical harnesses, while charging and releasing arrows, just the bumps of the war horse and the damned physical habit can kill the cavalry!
If you don't believe it or don't understand it, you can do a small experiment yourself, that is, standing on a flat-topped car without handrails, let the flat-topped car drive at high speed on a bumpy road, and then friends can try again to see if you can stand firm? Can you draw a bow and release an arrow? Or can you keep your balance and not fall out of the car?
By the way, it is best not to try this dangerous test in person, otherwise you will not be responsible for any death, injury, or disability.
