Chapter 075: There Must Be a True Descendant
The three hundred mountains in the south of Anyuan County are stacked with mountains, cliffs and strange stones, and dense streams. The forests on the mountainous area within a radius of hundreds of miles are dense, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, and the giant vines hang upside down, covering the sky and the sun.
The Kowloon Ridge in the northwest of it stretches for more than 30 miles from east to west, with nine peaks towering and ridges winding, like a barrier. Legend has it that this is the place where the nine true dragons spit out pearls.
On the main peak of the Nine Dragons Ridge surrounded by clouds and mist, a big flag with the word "Gu" is fluttering at this moment, and nine golden dragons are embroidered messily around the flag, which is nondescript.
Five miles down the mountain, on a relatively flat hill, there are two big flags of "horse" and "cui".
The area of the hill is limited, but because there is no suitable place to camp around, Cui Feng and Ma Yongzhen can only squeeze here together.
A few days ago, at the water mouth on the west side of Anyuan County, Ma Yongzhen had a small victory over Gu Xiancheng, and Gu Xiancheng retreated to Kowloon Ridge overnight.
Jiulong Ridge mountains are like a screen, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the four towns of Fushi Xinshan, Xinlong, Fengshan and Zhengang are only twenty or thirty miles away from Anyuan County, and Xunmei County is about fifty or sixty miles away from the southeast direction.
From the topographical point of view, occupying Jiulong Ridge is very beneficial to Gu Xiancheng, as long as he defends the danger, and then sends a small group of people and horses to take the dangerous road in the mountains to the four towns from time to time to loot, he can fight with Ma Yongzhen and Cui Feng to consume, once Ma and Cui can't consume it, he can attack Anyuan or Xunmei.
In view of the fact that the terrain of Kowloon Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the two of them have fallen into the grass together, Ma Yongzhen intended to appease Gu Xiancheng, and sent people up the mountain to recruit him several times.
However, Cui Feng thinks that Gu Xiancheng is a kind of adulterer/adulterous kidnapper, and it should be completely exterminated, so as not to repeat it in the future, and he himself is ashamed to be in the company of people like Gu Xiancheng, and Cui Feng has a great opinion on Ma Yongzhen sending people up the mountain to recruit An.
The two commanders disagreed, and the war was unfavorable, and the two groups formed their own factions and did not belong to each other, so it was inevitable that there would be filth when they were crowded on the hill, and the soldiers on both sides had a daily wrestling fight.
"Peng!"
The snare drum in front of Ma Yongzhen's big account was suddenly kicked down, and then Cui Feng rushed in with a few of his men.
Ma Yongzhen was discussing in the tent, Ma Liuliang and Han Xiu, two hundred households, were furious when they heard this, and they all drew their swords to meet them, Ma Liuliang roared: "The surname is Cui, what do you want to do?" Is it easy to be messed with? ”
"Ma Yongzhen, let's encircle and suppress Gu Xiancheng together, the grain and grass are provided by Lord Qin, but as a result, your subordinates eat dry rice, but let Lao Tzu's subordinates drink gruel, what the hell do you mean?" Cui Feng ignored Ma Liuliang and approached Ma Yongzhen, murderous.
Several of his subordinates also drew their swords one after another, and the two sides were tense and on the verge of breaking out.
Ma Yongzhen stood up from behind the handsome case, glanced lightly at the confrontation in the tent and said: "The supply of grain and grass in the army is getting tighter and tighter, from today onwards, the men and horses responsible for attacking the mountain can eat enough, and those who stay in the camp to rest will only be provided with two meals of porridge, and today it is my turn to attack the mountain."
"Attacking the mountain? Joke. Cui Feng unceremoniously interrupted Ma Yongzhen, "Aren't your people going up to make a show one day?" When did you really attack the mountain? Since you say so, let my men attack the mountains today, and we will eat dry rice, and you will drink thin. ”
Ma Yongzhen was silent on the surface, but she couldn't help but burn anger in her heart, and replied coldly: "The army has its own rules, how can you do what you want?" Is it child's play for you to fight on this march? ”
"Zhangfa is a fart, your Zhangfa can't control Lao Tzu's head, aren't you bent on recruiting your former peers? Then Lao Tzu will not be accompanied, Lao Tzu will lead people to withdraw to Anyuan County first, and you will slowly recruit yours. After Cui Feng finished speaking, he and a few of his subordinates turned around and left, Ma Liuliang and the others were so angry that they scolded, if it wasn't for Ma Yongzhen to stop them, it is estimated that they would have rushed up to cut people.
There is another person in the big tent, that is, Wang Gong, a soldier of the Taoist Guard, who watched coldly, ignoring the conflict between the two sides, as if he had nothing to do with him.
Of course, it does have nothing to do with him, although nominally he is a Taoist, and the entire Ganzhou soldiers and generals are under his jurisdiction, but Ma Yongzhen and Cui Feng don't bird him, they just treat him as a prisoner.
Qin Mu asked Ma Yongzhen to specifically command the suppression of bandits, and at the same time asked Wang Gong to "preside over the suppression of bandits", in fact, he was just worried that during his absence in Huichang, Wang Gong would play some tricks, so he simply sent him to "suppress bandits", which Wang Gong knew very well.
In order to avoid accidentally "dying in the line of duty" while suppressing bandits, he closed his eyes in Ma Yongzhen's big tent during the day, ignored the war, went back to sleep early at night, resolutely did not move around at will, and was cautious everywhere, even so, he was worried that he would not be able to go back this time.
Cui Feng and Ma Yongzhen are in a situation where they are in flames, Wang Gong is happy to see it, perhaps, something can be done in the middle, Wang Gong secretly thought about it, and asked Ma Yongzhen for the first time: "General Ma, this official has been unwell for the past two days, and I want to go back to Anyuan County to find a Langzhong first, General Ma is responsible for the suppression of bandits here, and this official is very relieved." ”
Don't worry, I'm not at ease?
Ma Yongzhen replied indifferently: "Lord Wang is unwell, how can he go back and forth again, there are no famous doctors in Anyuan County, and those quacks are not as good as the soldiers in our camp. ”
Ma Yongzhen's tone was cold, Wang Gong's brows frowned tightly, and then he lowered his eyelids and said, "Then there is General Rauma." After saying that, he was like an old monk who had settled down, and the little careful thinking that had just germinated was also extinguished.
Qin Mu, who had just returned to Huichang, soon heard about the stalemate between Ma Yongzhen and Cui Feng, which touched Qin Mu very much, and the idea of cultivating his own true descendants was even more urgent.
At present, Meng Ke and Ma Yongzhen are all looking forward to him on the surface, but Qin Mu himself is not sure about the loyalty of these people, as the so-called knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts, Qin Mu wants to accept these people as his team, how can it be impossible for others to use him to cultivate their own liliang?
Qin Mu did not deliberately reconcile the intention of Meng Ke and Ma Yongzhen, it was more beneficial for him to maintain a balance of power between the two factions, and in addition, that was to cultivate his true descendants, and he had always spared no effort to do so.
Liu Meng, Su Jin, and Xiang Liancheng are all his real descendants, and the one hundred and twenty people under Liu Meng, Qin Mu, intends to equip hot weapons, but now the hot weapons have not yet been created;
Su Jin's 120 men were to be built into elite cavalry;
The most important thing is the one hundred and twenty people in Xiang Liancheng, this is the one that Qin Mu has worked hard to the most, this team is not strictly speaking, it is not a soldier, Qin Mu is cultivating these one hundred and twenty people according to the model of training officers;
In the future, once these people are scattered, they will be able to form a solid net in the army, providing a strong guarantee for Qin Mu to truly control the army under his command.
Descendants, the key is still descendants, without their own descendants, even if Meng Ke and others have no dissenting intentions now, they will definitely have them in the future.
Once a person's strength is strong to a certain extent, who is willing to submit to a person who has no strength?
So after hearing that Ma Yongzhen and Cui Feng had a quarrel, Qin Mu just asked someone to pass an order, asking Cui Feng to obey Ma Yongzhen's command and exterminate Gu Xiancheng as soon as possible;
Not only did he not rush to Kowloon Mountain, but he devoted himself more eagerly to the daily training of the Thousand Households, especially the training of the 120 men and horses in Xiang Liancheng.
Early in the morning, the east has just revealed a touch of fish belly white, on the school field of Huichang Qianhu, thousands of soldiers have been standing as a wall, the neat formation is like a knife, except for the morning wind blowing the flag, the school field is silent, the solemn feeling is suffocating.
Qin Mu was draped all over his body, his sword hung at his waist and rode out, the sonorous sound of iron hooves knocked on the hearts of thousands of soldiers, he galloped back and forth in front of the army, suddenly drew his sword and pointed at it, and roared loudly: "Tell me, what is your military oath?" ”
The soldiers immediately shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky: "Resolutely obey the command of Lord Qin, faithfully fulfill the obligations of soldiers, strictly abide by discipline, be unremitting, care for colleagues, and unite and cooperate." Love the people, love the nation, not afraid of sacrifice, and would rather die than give in. Do not betray your fellow comrades, do not tell your enemies, and remember your duty, honor, and loyalty. ”
This is the soldier's oath repeated many times a day, before starting a day of training, before eating, before going to bed, Qin Mu is to use this fatigue bombing method to transform the soldiers' thoughts,
It is important whether an army is brave and good at fighting, but loyalty is even more important, otherwise it will be in vain to train them well.
After taking the oath, each team of people and horses in hundreds of households, into the intense training, Qin Mu took Xiang Liancheng's "teaching camp" out of the thousand households, came to a valley before suddenly announced: "Today is to look like an encounter, with Han Gang as the main general of the red side and Li Chen as the main general of the blue side." ”
Han Gang and Li Chen were just ordinary soldiers, and they were not surprised to be suddenly pointed out by Qin Mu as the main general, because such things had long been accustomed to in the "Teaching Brigade".
As soon as Qin Mu took the roll call, the two quickly went out to salute: "Please give an order." ”
"You immediately take half of your men to both sides of the valley, during which you two must select their respective combat backbones, check their equipment, organize the battle formation, draw up a combat plan, remember, this is an encounter, there is no extra time for you to ponder slowly, now take your men and horses to take their positions, and the exercise begins."
"Yes." Han Gang and Li Chen saluted together, then quickly turned around, and each led half of the men and horses to the north and south valleys.
In the process of rushing to the valley mouth, Han Gang kept shouting: "Li Nong, Hao Liu, Shang Sandao, Wu Guan, and Xie Mingtang are each long, the archers are commanded by Li Nong and Wu Guan, the sword and shield hands are commanded by Xie Mingtang and Shang Sandao, and Hao Liu is in charge of the spearmen.
Li Chen's side was the same, while leading the team to run, while appointing the backbone of the command, in the flying dust, the two sides raced against time, shouting loudly, and the tension was no less than that of a real battle.
After Qin Mu temporarily appointed the commanders of the two sides, the commanders of the two sides appointed their own combat backbones, and sometimes Qin Mu even joined the battle as an ordinary soldier, which has become a common practice.
In addition to imparting cultural knowledge and basic combat theories, Qin Mu did not relax his ability to organize logistics, command operations, and make decisions on the spot.
As soon as Li Chen and Han Gang were appointed by Qin Mu as the main generals, they held absolute authority, even if it was the original hundred households and general banners, if anyone did not obey the order, they could be killed immediately, this was definitely not child's play.
Since Qin Mu defined this exercise as an encounter, both sides did not have time to make detailed arrangements, so it depended on the resilience of the commander.
Han Gang led the team to the south of the valley, and immediately shouted: "Li Nong, Wu Guan and the archers immediately seize the slopes on both sides, shoot down and kill the enemy, be fast!" Xie Mingtang and Shang Sandao led the sword and shield men to cover and support from the two wings, and Hao Liu led the spearmen with me to take the middle palace directly, and cut the generals to capture the flag, quickly! ”
Li Chen's arrangement was even clearer, and the men and horses of the meeting department were twisted into a rope, with spearmen as the front, and they attacked with all their might.
Qin Mu was stationed on the side, watching the two groups of centaurs quickly collide together, the sound of killing was bursting, the two of them had their own advantages and disadvantages, and they were quickly reflected in the collision;
Han Gang's side seized the hillsides on both sides, and arrows rained down, but anyone who was shot and had lime on his body must withdraw from the battle according to the rules, although Li Chen kept ordering the shield to cover the two wings, but when the two sides collided together, Li Chen's side still lost a quarter of the men and horses first.
But even after paying heavy casualties, when colliding together, Li Chen's forces in the front still had an absolute advantage, and he instantly broke away from Han Gang's formation, Han Gang saw that the spearmen and sword and shield hands could not support it, and hurriedly ordered the archers on the two hillsides to abandon their bows and change their swords, and kill the generals, but it was too late.
Under the impact of Li Chen's superior forces, Han Gang's frontal formation was chaotic, Li Chen took the lead, screaming and rushing towards the enemy's flag, and before Han Gang's archers could return to help, the flag was lost.
This encounter was counted from Qin Mu's point to the end of the battle, and it took less than a pillar of incense, but in fact this is not the point, the focus is on the subsequent post-war experience summary, and this link took a whole hour;
Every soldier should express his or her own views on the battle, re-enact the course of the battle on the spot, and supplement various strategies and plans that are conducive to victory, so that the next time he encounters a similar battle, he can quickly make the most careful arrangements and come up with the most rational combat plan.
This is Qin Mu's main way of training them, for this training camp, personal bravery is secondary, and organizational and command ability is their main learning subject.
