When Shen Yue'er and Brother Ping were strengthening their minds in Beiping City, Su Zhi was wearing battle armor and commanding thousands of horses and thousands of troops with a Xuantie spear in his hand.

General Yang led his troops to meet the enemy from the front according to Su Zong's arrangement, and when he encountered the Tatar army, he led 10,000 horses to kill the generals.

Although there were only more than 30,000 men on the other side, their total of 40,000 men might not be able to defeat the brave Tatar cavalry.

So the 10,000 horses assigned to General Yang retreated to both sides after meeting the enemy head-on, and the Tatar commander waved his sword and pointed to the rear where Su Zhi was: "Chong, take the head of King Yan directly, and avenge my blood feud against Tatar for many years." ”

Just as he was shouting, General Yang led 10,000 men who retreated from both sides, and turned around and outflanked him from the left and right.

The rear of the Tatar soldiers was suddenly chaotic, and the guards on the lookout on Su Zhi's side shouted: "Lord Wang, General Yang is killing back the gun, and the other party's tail is on fire." ”

Su Zhi waved the Xuantie spear and pointed forward: "Kill"

Such a Dan furnace array caught the Tatar soldiers who shouted to kill the heaven-shattering by surprise.

And their reality had already been found out by a long line of defense on the way here, and they had also consumed one-third of the feather arrows they carried.

However, when the 30,000 people led by Su Tong shouted to kill Zhentian, they did not rush to the front, and saw the Tatar soldiers fall one after another.

Stumbling on the horse rope, falling off the horse nail is to deal with the Tatar barbarians who are good at riding and shooting, and when they fall off the horse, they will be like worms.

The frightened horses jumped in the formation, trampled on countless injuries, and the neighing and wailing of the horses were endless.

It took one day to set up the formation, and half a day to face it.

After cleaning the battlefield, Su Zhi removed his armor in the camp, and Ge Lin brought warm water: "Lord Wang, wash it." ”

"Lord Wang, today's formation god has solved 30,000 Tatar cavalry so quickly, and our casualties are the least since the last general joined the army."

General Yang didn't change his clothes, and he didn't even wash the blood on his face before he came in with a loud voice.

Su Tong turned around and instructed Ge Lin: "Fetch a basin of water with General Yang again." ”

The two of them snorted and washed their faces together, and sat down to speak.

Su Tong looked at the sand table in front of him, and his face was solemn: "If you hadn't lost so much gunpowder in Taiyuan, the casualties this time would have been even less." ”

General Yang blinked his eyes and said, "The leader of the firearms battalion is from the Shenji battalion, and the last general feels that some of them are miraculous. The confrontation between these two armies is still a formation with archers, and the close-quarters meat game is a battle for the cohesion of the military soul. ”

Su Tong got up and stretched out his hand on the sand table, pointed to the changing formation and said, "If the gunpowder is sufficient, today's battle can completely allow you to get twice the result with half the effort when you outflank behind enemy lines." A firearms battalion is sufficient for front and rear firepower, and then the cavalry is used to follow the front and rear infantry, and there is nowhere to hide from the upper and lower plates. ”

General Yang still has a different attitude: "Isn't it that the two armies are fighting against each other bravely, and putting all the heavy tasks on the firearms battalion will make the cavalry and infantry lazy, and rely on the cover of firearms, so can there still be bravery?" ”

Well, the era of cold weapons is about the sea of people, and the spelling is a brave word, and survival depends on luck.

Even if you are a general, in addition to tactics, most of them have to rely on luck to get to the end, that is, your luck is better than everyone else, and you will go to the end to pay homage to the prime minister, otherwise, you are just a bloody warrior in front of the two armies.

For the application of gunpowder, China is not only the inventor, but also the earliest application to the war. However, the tactical application of firearms continued until the Central Plains War in modern times, when the fire support was still just a random fight, and finally rushed to the top and finally fought in close quarters to fight the winner.

If you only shoot a gun and no one comes forward to fight with a bayonet, even if you win, you will be laughed at by the other side.

Is there a war, what is a war, that is, the person who fights and the sword, and you can see the winner or the loser within a zhang!

Perhaps, this is the integrity of a soldier, a spirit that is not afraid of life and death.

However, as the commander-in-chief, Su Zhi thought about how to minimize losses and minimize the casualties of his troops.

Let's not think about his position in terms of benevolence, that is, in terms of resources in war, reducing casualties is also reducing self-consumption, and in the case of untimely supply, the side with the least loss is the side with the greatest possibility of victory.

Therefore, at any time, sending to death is not the best posture of the victor.

Su Tong explained this truth to General Yang, and began to analyze the pros and cons of the next battle with him.

After this battle, General Yang admired His Royal Highness King Yan, but to say that he was all at his disposal, it was not his character as a general for many years, so disputes would inevitably exist.

"Lord Wang, this season is windy and snowy, and even herdsmen dare not migrate easily, and going deep into the grassland at this time is definitely not the best choice."

Hearing that Su Zhi was going to lead his troops deep into the grassland to take the initiative, General Yang objected.

Su Tong pointed to the location of the grassland on the sand table and said: "It is not easy to march in this season, you and I know, and the other party also knows." It is precisely because of this that they will relax their defenses, and this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to pursue encirclement and suppression, and they must not be missed. ”

His attitude was extremely firm, and General Yang stood up suddenly, glared at him and said: "The prince just said that he would save his troops and not do unnecessary consumption, so that he would bring people into the grassland, and he would undoubtedly be sent to death in the face of Tatar barbarians who had lived in the grassland for generations. ”

Su Tong also lost his temper, and his eyes suddenly widened: "You and I are here because the barbarians invaded the border and harmed the border people, they grabbed enough supplies in one autumn, and at this time they were drinking and dancing on the grassland and sleeping with women in their arms." No one has ever chased the barbarian lair at this time, which is why this convention is broken now. He was defenseless, and our army had no other resistance except the suffering of the march, and the fighters could not be missed. ”

General Yang didn't give a step and continued: "The prince also knows that the barbarians have sufficient supplies now, and our army has limited grain and grass for marching to the grassland, so why not wait until the spring is open and the barbarians are short of materials before going deeper?" ”

"Doesn't General Yang know the truth of the poor Kou Mo chasing? When he is poor and anxious, he can fight with you even if he is a barbarian, and their combat effectiveness at that time is not the slack when they are full now! ”

"This ......"

General Yang was suddenly stuck, and Su Zhi beckoned outside: "General Yang's meal is placed here." ”

The two commanders were having dinner together, and they thought they were discussing military plans, but they didn't know that these two were now saw-mouthed gourds, and no one said a word.

Yang Mo, the overseer, went to the tent and asked Ge Lin: "After repairing, will you stay in place or retreat?" ”

Ge Lin shook his head: "The subordinates don't know either, can the overseer have food?" ”

"No, do you want to use the Ge guards together?"

"The subordinates are on duty, and they will not be able to use it later, so the overseer will use it first."

Yang Mo glanced at the tent door, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, then I'll go back to eat." ”

After dinner, General Yang left the tent of the Chinese army, inspected the camp, and then returned to his tent.

Zhao Guangzhi had been listening to the conversation between the two commanders, and at this time he said to Su Tong: "The prince is like a god with soldiers, and there is no general in the world who can compare with him. ”

Su Zhi waved his hand: "Don't say these useless words, recently you will go to see if the firearms battalion can quickly improve its combat effectiveness, and the gunpowder is not enough to equip them with all the crossbows." ”

"Subordinates Listen to Orders"
