Chapter Seventy-Six: Failure for Success

With hundreds of remnants, he returned to Zhang Hongbin in a gray manner, and Li Dingguo knelt down directly, waiting for punishment.

"It looks like you're losing?" Zhang Hongbin didn't mean to punish immediately, but just asked lightly.

"The last general is incompetent, and he has fallen for the tricks of the enemy general!" Li Dingguo was ashamed, it might be okay if Zhang Hongbin scolded him at this moment, but this flat tone made him feel even more painful.

"Failure is the mother of success, and it doesn't hurt to lose a game in the vanguard battle. The key is, do we continue to lose, and what did you see, learn, and summarize in this failure? If you don't get anything in this campaign, then I'm really going to be angry. Zhang Hongbin said casually.

"It was a sound to attack the west, and the enemy generals set up a suspicious formation to plant a wide range of banners, using a large number of scouts to make me mistakenly think that the enemy's main force was in the northwest, but in fact their main force was in the northeast, and when we were engaged with the suspicious soldiers in the northwest, the main force in the northeast suddenly came out...... To sum up, it is the last general who ignores the observation of the overall situation too much, and the subjective consciousness is too strong. At the same time, we have won too many battles before, so that we don't have the psychology of preventing trouble before it happens, otherwise if we can better form a battle and fight, even if the enemy kills in the northeast, our army may not have the strength to fight! Time is very short, and Li Dingguo can only say what he thinks.

"The other thing is that you're ignoring the role of the manager in relation to the soldiers. Speaking of which, our mode of warfare has begun to undergo unprecedented changes, with more firearms and fewer cold weapons. In other words, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for the manager to charge.

But what cannot be ignored is that in today's Ming Dynasty, cold weapons are still not completely eliminated, and a general who dares to charge into battle to drive morale often wins a battle. It may be said that such a master can give the soldier a sense of security, a feeling of being able to follow him with peace of mind.

Of course, I'm not asking you to charge on the front line, but as a manager, how to motivate the soldiers during the period, how to make them feel that you are still by their side, still silently fighting with them, this is very important. When the soldiers don't feel your save, they will panic, and once they panic, there will be flaws. Not to mention, the enemy generals who fight with you take the lead, which gives them a subjective consciousness, that is, 'The enemy generals dare to take the lead, where is our lord?' That's not a good thing for morale.

Now our battle mode has changed, but how to adapt to the new battle mode is a question that you generals must seriously consider. The most important thing is that how to hit the enemy to the maximum extent in the worst situation also needs to be carefully considered. You did a good job in this, the spies reported back, the enemy also won a crushing victory, and now there are only 3,000 troops in the headquarters, and they are retreating to rest. But according to what I mean, you still have a chance to win this battle......" Zhang Hongbin helped Li Dingguo up and explained to him in detail the main points of this battle.

"The last general is incompetent, and the young master has been disappointed." Li Dingguo was even more ashamed.

"Where you fall, you get up, I'll give you a chance to get up, how you deal with it, that's your business. However, I just want to ask you, do you have the guts to face it? Zhang Hongbin pointed in the direction of the enemy and said.

"If you lose again, the last general will come to see you!" Li Dingguo held his breath and clenched his fists and shouted.

"Strategist, have we sent out our sub-striker?" Zhang Hongbin looked at Niu Jinxing with a smile.

"General Wang has gathered five hundred elites and is ready to give the enemy an unforgettable lesson tonight!" Niu Venus stepped forward and replied.

"Do you think that guy Wang Er can succeed?" Zhang Hongbin looked at Yang Hong.

"If you want to talk about counter-night attacks, the other party is an expert. But it is inevitable to be able to inflict a certain amount of damage on the other side, and the other side is not used to our weapons, especially grenades. It's just that in today's battle, many of our weapons are afraid that they will fall into the hands of the other party, and we have to beware of the other side sending samples to the imperial court, and then our advantage will be gone. Yang Hong was not optimistic about Wang Er's night attack.

"Even if we send it, it's nothing, the firearms used today, the gunpowder formula for the grenade is in our hands, and the other party can't make it. As for the firecracker, we use the model we produced ourselves, not the batch we purchased, and even if the other party designs it, it is not our opponent in terms of combat effectiveness. Not to mention, they don't have our technology, and the cost of producing those firecrackers will be very high, do you think the imperial court's finances will allow the large-scale production of those things? Zhang Hongbin said with a smile.

"In this way, the last general will be relieved." Yang Hong said he had no doubts.

"Strategist, send men to the rear around the enemy, and watch out for any knights with packages, and be sure not to let our firearms slip out. Even if it's not the best, it's best not to leak it out...... In addition, if Wang Er's night attack fails tonight, but causes some losses to the enemy, how can we eat the other party at the minimum price the next day, you must also think carefully and only give you one night's time. Zhang Hongbin looked at Niu Jinxing.

"My subordinates understand!" Niu Venus is more of a practical type, and immediately took the order to discuss this matter with a few staff officers.

The sky slowly darkened, and night fell.

Unlike other border soldiers, Cao Wenzhao's army did not suffer from night blindness. Night blindness was a nightmare for the soldiers and a key cause of night attacks. Therefore, in order to avoid being attacked at night, Cao Wenzhao deliberately used medicine to recuperate the soldiers, and finally cured the night blindness of the soldiers. Since then, it has been continuously consolidated, and now the soldiers do not see the same at night as they do during the day, but at least they are very adaptable.

Others may be able to see the dark world up and down twenty meters, these soldiers can see movement fifty meters away, and if there is moonlight, they can see every move from a hundred meters away. Tonight, however, happened to be a moonlit night.

Such a night is not suitable for night attacks, not to mention that Cao Wenzhao specially camped on a high ground, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and you can also see a qiē in the distance. If you want to attack at night in such an environment, the difficulty is not ordinary.

Wang Er is not a fool, he has also studied for a long time. Such an environment is not suitable for night raids, and he knows it.

However, he patted his chest and promised that he must give the enemy general an unforgettable night tonight, and if he goes back without doing anything, where will his old face go?

"Monkey, is there a way to go around the rocky slope at the back?" Wang Er asked the guards beside him.

"Be careful, it should be fine!" The monkey's surname is Sun, but unfortunately it is not Sun Wukong, a single name is a candidate, and he is thin so he is called a monkey.

"You take two hundred men and go around the back, draw the attention of the other side with grenades, and then we will kill them here and take the other party's camp. By the way, there's a lot of pressure on your side, so if there's something wrong, retreat immediately, you know? Wang Er gave instructions.

"This little nature understands!" The monkey nodded.

The two hundred soldiers quickly separated, carefully went around to the back, and then seemed to have not reached the designated position before they were discovered by the enemy, and in a very unfavorable environment, the enemy's soldiers got up one after another, and slaughtered more than 200 of them. Don't look at the fact that there are only 3,000 people, and most of them are resting, the border troops under Cao Wenzhao are brave, they can get up in a minute, and they are all fully armed and resting, put on helmets and weapons, and they can immediately enter the battle, and in an instant, more than a thousand people killed the two hundred.

"Thunder!" The monkey was not stupid, and immediately took out a grenade and threw it out.

More people followed his example and threw grenade shells, and soon a rumbling sound was heard, killing many enemy soldiers in an instant. But no matter how many people died, the other party's pace did not stop at all, and he only wanted to subdue these thieves as quickly as possible. That momentum, that bravery, frightened many soldiers and forgot to throw a second grenade, even if it was thrown, in addition to causing some damage, in the end, the two hundred people were instantly surrounded by the tide of border troops, and they were instantly slashed and killed.

"Monkey! Death to Lao Tzu! Wang Erhu was so angry that he took his headquarters and killed him without saying a word.

"Kill!" The border army was not afraid of this at all, and some people had even mounted horses and killed them.

"Thunder! General, you go quickly, the other party is completely awake, this night attack failed! The adjutant instructed the men below to throw grenade shells and shouted back.

"I'm going to kill them, I'm not leaving!" Wang Er still threw the grenade excitedly.

"A few of you, carry the general away, otherwise military law will deal with it!" The adjutant shouted and continued to throw thunder.

A few soldiers around you, you look at me, I look at you, looking at Wang Er's unkind eyes, and finally gritted his teeth, lifted him up, and quickly retreated.

In less than five minutes, the remaining troops of their own side were overwhelmed by the cavalry, and it seemed that they were more than lucky.

"I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling!" Wang Er roared, but the tears on his cheeks kept flowing.
