Chapter 18 Gambling Fight
After several days of wine-making, Zhao Ming almost forgot about the fight with Feng Wu, and it wasn't until the guards came to invite him that he remembered that there was still a female man to clean up today!
Shi Shiran strolled to the Imperial Garden Viewing Pavilion, the woman's wife had already arrived, standing like a javelin next to a pair of sand tables, like standing guard, with a stinky face and everyone seemed to owe her hundreds of taels.
On the other side is the little general Galengay with a restrained face. Seeing Zhao Ming, he showed a sincere smile.
In the upper seat, the emperor and Shenwu, the second marshal of the back Wei, the Ministry of Industry, and the second Shangshu of the Ministry of War talked and laughed.
Seeing Zhao Ming, Zhao Hao shouted violently: "Rebel, let all the important ministers wait for you alone, what a big boldness!" ”
"I hope my father will forgive me, my son forgot to burn incense last night, there are too many mosquitoes, and I can't sleep to miss the time today, and my son knows his mistake." Zhao Ming admitted his mistake.
The indifference on his face will make Zhao extravagant to death, this rebel! Are even excuses so perfunctory!
Zhao Hao's face turned dark and he just wanted to have a seizure, but he heard Xie Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, say: "Your Majesty is angry, and it is understandable that you are young and sleepy." I don't know if the sand table made by my Ministry of Industry meets the requirements of His Highness? ”
mentioned the sand table, Zhao Hao bypassed him for the sake of the sand table: "For Xie Aiqing's sake of speaking for you, forget it this time." Be diligent next time! ”
"Father Xie, thank you Shangshu." Zhao Ming borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and his father was happy when he provoked him, and he couldn't get along with himself if he was annoyed and angry.
"Not to thank Your Highness. I wonder if His Highness has any suggestions for the sand table made by our Ministry of Industry? Xie Jun asked with a smile.
"Excellent, perfect!" Zhao Ming was also very satisfied.
I have to say that under the hands of skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Works, this sand table is very perfect, the slopes and plains have transplanted some tender grass from nowhere, and even the trees are carved out of wood and brushed with green paint. is lifelike, which is different from the level of the fun sand table he used to make by himself.
"Admiration for the Ministry of Industry is craftsmanship."
"Your Highness is satisfied." Xie Jun nodded with satisfaction.
"The map is ready, but I don't know what the rules are for deduction, please show it to Your Highness." At this time, Zhou Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came out and asked. He also wanted to see if this sand table military exercise was useful. It's not something that children are playing with.
"There really is, there are no rules, this deduction really can't go on. Zhou Shangshu. Zhao Ming replied.
In case Feng Wu is his 10,000 enemies, one person is worth 10,000 soldiers, and 1,000 is still wool. Kneel down early and sing to conquer.
"Regardless of strategy, each soldier is calculated according to the time, location, and type of troops. Take the battle of the past few days as an example, the plains have no rain terrain, and the ratio of cavalry to foot soldiers is three to one. If the infantry attacked, the cavalry abandoned their horses to defend the city, but the infantry defended the city, and the cavalry attacked the city was one to three. There was no rain or snow that day, and the weather was not considered. The specific algorithm, I have written in this volume, everyone to look at it, if there is any shortcoming, I hope you will correct. ”
Ladies and gentlemen, the general took the booklet and looked at it carefully, and nodded silently, which can be regarded as approving Zhao Ming's rules.
In the end, it was the veteran Feng Po who said: "His Royal Highness the Sixth has considered it in great detail, and the terrain of the arms is well understood, and he has very deep insights into military affairs. Wechen has nothing to add. ”
"Humph! Feng Shuai looks up to this kid! Seeing everyone praising his son, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile, "It's just a person who talks on paper, and he is not worthy of Feng Shuai's praise!" So let's get started. ”
"Man's wife, let the horse come, let me teach you what war is called and let women go away." Zhao Ming said provocatively.
Feng Wufeng's eyes were cold, and he didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth collapsed and mocked silently.
Zhao Hao looked at the interaction between the two from above, smiling, and looking at Feng Wu's gaze became more and more satisfied, his eyes were deep as if he was thinking about something.
In the first formation, Zhao Ming gave up defending the camp, and set up two layers of phalanx against the camp to meet the enemy in the field, the first layer was extremely thin, only more than 100 soldiers, raising dust and sand with branches, and the second layer instead put on an offensive formation.
Feng Wu thought that Zhao Ming looked down on her, how could she misestimate the first-tier troops and let eight hundred people charge collectively. Sure enough, at a very small cost, he broke through the first layer of defense and wiped out more than 100 foot soldiers, but before attacking the second layer of phalanx, he was sentenced to lose his mobility and lose 200 horsemen.
Zhao Ming took advantage of the situation to cover and kill the remaining 600 cavalry, and none of them escaped. It turned out that Zhao Ming ordered the soldiers of the first layer to raise sand, not to cover up the troops of the first layer, but to dig countless traps between the first layer and the second layer under the noses of the enemy army.
After Feng Wu broke through the first layer, he fell into Zhao Ming's trap, the cavalry had no mobility and was really inferior to the infantry, Zhao Ming only paid more than 200 losses to annihilate the other party, Feng Wu saw that the general trend had gone, and lost.
In the second formation, Feng Wu was much more cautious and did not attack first. The cavalry has been gathering and watching. The two-legged foot soldier really didn't have much to do with the cavalry that had been leading but not firing.
Zhao Ming had no choice but to adopt a stupid method. Along the way, the soldiers were ordered to cut down trees to make antlers, each soldier took one, and the front army retreated to the rear to cut down the trees after throwing the simple antlers, intending to push it flat to the foot of Feng Wu's camp.
Feng Wu saw that this was not an option, so he divided his 300 cavalry into a tentative attack, and was defeated by the foot soldiers with crossbow shots.
A strange situation was formed under Feng Wu's camp, the innermost was Feng Wu's foot soldiers guarding the camp, the middle was Zhao Ming's main army, and the outermost was Feng Wu's cavalry. Zhao Ming asked the soldiers to pile up all the remaining antlers outside, leaving no road for themselves, and then divided half of the men and horses to storm the camp. Replace Feng Wu's camp with a one-to-one ratio.
Feng Wu's cavalry, who was in the outermost area, stared at the numerous antlers and had no choice but to attack Zhao Ming's base camp only to find the same situation.
Zhao Ming's camp was also full of antlers. It turned out that after Feng Wu's cavalry left, the two hundred soldiers who stayed in the base camp went out to cut wood according to Zhao Ming's order. Similarly, there was not even a road out of the camp, all of which were full of antlers, intending to defend the camp. The more than 500 cavalry left in the field were useless, and they lost by storming there. When time runs out, points are counted and negative.
In the third formation, Feng Wu simply didn't go out, 200 foot soldiers guarded the camp, and 800 cavalry roamed around.
Zhao Ming was dumbfounded, how can this be fought? What a scoundrel! Zhao Ming had no choice but to defend with antlers, standing in front of the camp and not daring to attack. Storm the camp with 800 foot soldiers, and the 800 cavalry of the opponent will teach you how to be a man in minutes.
Even Zhao Ming transferred out the two hundred people who stayed in the main camp, and Feng Wu was unmoved. Zhao Ming lost his temper by not eating such a big bait, he couldn't dismantle the antlers and fight a dignified battle, what is the difference between that and having his head caught in the door?
Just when Zhao Ming was thinking about it and was at a loss, a little eunuch rushed in and shouted, "Your Majesty, it's not good!" ”
