221. Temptation
The military formations of officers and soldiers began to surge, and in the Huanglong Mountain Range, there was no large area of flat land that could be used to set up a wide and deep military formation, so half of the officers and soldiers listed outside the camp were actually lined up into many small pieces, ranging from 100 to 200 people in each piece. Some stand in the woods, some on rocks, some in ravines, and some in the paths...... In such a complex and incomprehensible terrain situation, Xu Renjie and Desperate Saburo standing on the top of the mountain could not directly see the distribution of all the officers and soldiers with their eyes. They could only see the movement of some of the officers and soldiers through the obstacles of trees and rocks.
After Du Wenhuan's order was issued, the military formation of officers and soldiers slowly moved forward. All of a sudden, people could be seen surging everywhere at the foot of the mountain. After a small tree shook slightly, taking the opportunity of the shaking of the leaves, perhaps you could see an officer and soldier walking forward below. Between the mountains and rocks, the figures of officers and soldiers can be seen everywhere.
Du Wenhuan sneered to himself in the Chinese army of officers and soldiers: "In complex terrain, although the defender has a huge advantage, the attacker can also use the complex terrain to cover up its combat intentions or conceal its offensive direction...... Our army advanced with the help of rocks and woods as concealment, but the people on the top of the mountain did not know exactly how many soldiers I planned to commit to attacking the mountain. At this time, what should the bandit leader do? ”
Sure enough, Du Wenhuan's tactics had an immediate effect, and the guards on the top of the mountain began to panic. Although they are condescending, the hill of No. 3 Fenzhai is not high, and even if they shoot arrows from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, the hit rate and shooting distance will be greatly affected, but there are still a small number of officers and soldiers with strong arm strength who can shoot arrows up the mountainside.
The soldiers on the mountainside did not dare to stretch their heads too far, and could only stretch out half their heads under the cover of the cliff to peep under the mountain, in this case, their field of vision was very narrow, and the complex terrain affected their limited vision even more. However, when guarding the cottage, the complex woods and rocks at the foot of the mountain also provided shelter for the attacking army.
The soldiers only saw that there was a surge of people at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that countless officers and soldiers were planning to start a strong attack.
They panicked, and many of them picked up the stones from the ground, and the archers also put together the seven-stone bows in their hands again......
"Steady! Steady! Don't be in a hurry to throw the stones in your hands, and don't be in a hurry to release the arrows! Desperate Saburo shouted loudly on the top of the mountain, and with his call, the military command array also desperately played music, conveying Desperate Saburo's orders to the guards on the mountainside.
Xu Renjie ordered to the desperate Saburo: "Zhu Bugger taught me that no matter how suspicious the enemy is, the main point of attacking the mountain is always the main way up the mountain...... Because it is impossible for the enemy to open up a new path against our rolling logs. As long as you keep an eye on the main road up the mountain, it is very clear whether the enemy is feint or not, don't be fooled! ”
You must know that deep mountains and old forests like the Huanglong Mountains are not like the hills we saw on the outskirts of the city in later generations, there will be no thorns everywhere on the hills, and there will be no steep cliffs, and you can climb them in any direction. Because these things that may bring danger to tourists or citizens have long been dealt with by the political axe agency or local residents.
In the mountains of ancient times, unexplored places were really not accessible to people. The ground is covered with ferns and thorny vines, the rocks are covered with moss and slippery plants, and there are crumbling rocks and sharp rocks everywhere, and it is impossible for humans to walk without a single treatment...... Therefore, the ancient army arranged a task for the vanguard troops, which is called "opening a road in the mountains and building a bridge in the water", which also shows that "opening the road" is a very important job.
There are only two roads in the No. 3 village, one is the main road directly in front of the cottage, and the other is the path behind the mountain. In addition to these two roads, it is almost impossible for officers and men to attack the Shangshan Cottage from other places, because it is impossible for them to resist the offensive of the defenders on the mountain to do such technical work as "opening a road in the mountains."
In other words, no matter how big the posture of the officers and men is, or how many teams they send to press the cottage, they can only attack from the main road or the back mountain path, and the attacks launched to other places are all false moves.
Xu Renjie said a word of heaven-shattering, and the desperate Saburo also immediately understood, he raised the command flag in his hand high, but he never waved it, which meant that the soldiers were ready to throw stones, but don't be in a hurry to throw them at the officers and soldiers. He locked his eyes on the main path of the mountain...... As long as you are optimistic about this path, nothing else hurts.
"Sure enough...... The officers and soldiers are feinting...... There were not many officers and soldiers walking towards the main road up the mountain, and they were slow, just slowly advancing against the giant shield, making it clear that they still wanted to lure us into wasting defense materials. Desperately Saburo laughed: "This kind of trick to deceive children, put it all away." ”
Sure enough, the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain only made a shy move to climb the mountain, but in fact did not exert any force, and they were all concentrating on the vigilance of the rolling wood and stone attack on the top of the mountain, trying to avoid immediately reducing their own casualties after luring the defenders to waste supplies. But they waited for a while, and a few stones fell from the top of the mountain...... Obviously, the other side once again saw through the intentions of the officers and soldiers.
Du Wenhuan's brows furrowed tightly, his wrist strained slightly, and with a "snap", he pinched off the flagpole of the Lingqi.
Behind him came a military general, wearing a red Wenshan armor, a yellow pony coat on the outside of the armor, and a long white feather on the iron helmet on his head. Today Chinese New Year's Eve is five years old, in the prime of life, and belongs to the main battle faction in the DPRK and China, and is friendly with the generals of the military, but does not deal with the civilian officials.
This time, he was ordered by Chongzhen to lead two hundred Shenji battalions to protect 100,200 silver from the capital to Shaanxi, Wu Fu originally wanted to keep him in Baishui City, but he ignored Wu Fu's request and brought the Shenji Battalion to help Du Wenhuan suppress the bandits, which shows his position.
This person is more self-aware and knows very well that what he lacks most is actual combat experience. In a pampered place like the capital, it is so difficult to fight a battle, so this time he followed Du Wenhuan to suppress the bandits, and he asked Du Wenhuan for advice with an open heart.
Ma Rulong looked up at the top of the mountain, and then at the broken flagpole in Du Wenhuan's hand, a little worried that Du Wenhuan's face would not be able to rise and fall after the failure of his strategy, so he said in a low voice: "General Du Bing, this leader called Desperate San Lang is really a bit of a doorman...... If it were an ordinary bandit, under this level of strategy, they should have already smashed down the rocks and rolling logs like rain. ”
His words were a little comforting, and the hidden meaning behind them was: Lord Du, please don't be angry, it's not that you are incompetent, but that the enemy is too cunning, don't be angry.
Du Wenhuan shook his head and said to Ma Rulong: "I'm not angry...... Just feeling a little tricky...... From this wave of temptation just now, I found a problem that is more troublesome than the leader of the other party. ”
"Oh?" When Ma Rulong heard this, he hurriedly humbly asked for advice: "Please teach me Mr. Du!" ”
Du Wenhuan snorted and said, "Do you think that the reason why we didn't draw out a large number of rolling logs and stones from the enemy just now is because the thief leader commanded well?" It's not that simple...... You must know that compared with our officers and soldiers, the biggest problem with bandits is that the quality of minions is extremely low. If the army of our court gives an order, most of the soldiers will obey it. But when the leader of the bandits gives orders, the minions may not always do it...... Therefore, the armies of the rogues and bandits are often chaotic in command and fighting separately, and in the past anti-bandit operations, even if we encounter a very powerful bandit leader, but the other party does not have a powerful minions, we can still easily achieve victory. ”
When Ma Rulong heard this, he suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder Lord Du and Lord Hong Chengchou can defeat Wang Jiayin repeatedly, I heard that Wang Jiayin is from the border army and is a person who knows how to fight, but he has never won a battle in the hands of you and Lord Hong, it turns out that the main problem is not in the command, but in the minions not listening to the command!" ”
"That's right!" Du Wenhuan waved his hand at the hill where the No. 3 branch was located, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how powerful this desperate San Lang who commands the defensive battle, if the minions don't listen to his orders, he will be powerless. Let's take the wave of attacks just now, it is impossible for the minions located halfway up the mountain to look at the overall situation, and if our army presses forward, it stands to reason that they will be so frightened that they will smash all the defensive materials in their hands...... But instead of doing so, they obeyed the command from the top of the mountain and saved as much as possible. ”
Du Wenhuan paused, lowered his voice and said, "This shows a problem...... These minions...... After very strict training and training, in terms of obeying the orders of the commander, they are no worse than our officers and soldiers! Just a bandit, don't you think it's tricky to have such good military discipline? If only the other party's generals are powerful, I have a way to deal with them, but if the other party's generals command properly, and the soldiers also obey the orders like an arm, and the generals are united, it will be difficult to fight on this mountain......"
"Scare?" Ma Rulong was taken aback: "Then what should I do?" ”
Du Wenhuan said with a calm face: "If we have enough time, I can fence this cottage and slowly figure out a way, but now we are racing against time, and after we take down this village, we have to hurry back to the army to suppress other rogues...... Shaanxi is about to fall into chaos, and we don't have time to get stuck here...... The only way to do this is to break the morale of the other party, make them no longer obey the orders of the generals, and disintegrate and destroy the state of unity of the generals and soldiers. ”
"How do you do that?" Ma Rulong Khan.
"It's only up to you...... Du Wenhuan tapped on Ma Rulong's helmet with the broken flagpole: "I originally wanted to hide you and use it until I attacked the main village, but I didn't expect to attack the first sub-village, and I had to push you out, alas...... Let's go to the Divine Machine Battalion! ”
