Chapter 204 The hot-blooded Zhu Bao

At this time, Bu Qi pointed to the area with the handsome flag, and said to Liu Hou, who was still putting his eyes on the binoculars: "Your Majesty, if Sima Yi sets a trap, then there is undoubtedly the biggest bait." He actually used his example as bait. ”

"Who knows, maybe it's just a flag, with Sima Yi's cautious and death-fearing character, how could he be there in person." Deng Zhi said.

"It doesn't matter if he's there or not, but if we don't even have the courage to bite the bait, it's too much of a, and if it gets out, we'll lose face." Guo Youzhi.

"Is face more important or is the lives of the soldiers more important? 陛xià, the minister thought that a qiē should be cautious. Deng Zhi said.

"Your Majesty, it's better to let the Fourth Army go up and test it." Steps.

The Fourth Division is a cold weapon unit led by Zhu Bao that originally escorted grain and grass and was responsible for protecting the safety of the baggage team.

After they have trained the newly recruited soldiers, they will be drawn from this unit when there is a shortage of personnel in other units, which can ensure that the soldiers transferred from other combat units are qualified soldiers and can be immediately put into battle, rather than recruits who do not know anything.

On this expedition, Liu Hou agreed to let the Fourth Division become an official combat unit and let them be the vanguard, but unfortunately, they didn't get any battles along the way, which made Zhu Bao depressed for a long time.

Zhu Bao was depressed, but Liu Hou breathed a sigh of relief, because the Fourth Division was mainly equipped with cold weapons, although because of the needs of ordinary training, there were also some guns# weapons, but after all, the quantity was too small, and the quality was relatively poor, so it really didn't play much role in battle.

Although this time let them be the striker, Liu Hou specially equipped them with some thunderbolts, but, in Liu Hou's opinion, the combat effectiveness of this army is still too poor, and it belongs to the ranks of the fish belly troops in the battle sequence of the Hong army, Liu Hou is really afraid that they will encounter a strong enemy, and he has no confidence in letting them fight a tough battle.

Obviously, Buqi also regarded them as "non-regular personnel" who could be discarded at any time, so he asked them to go up for a temptation, and he thought that even if he was successful, he would not be too distressed to lose some "non-regular personnel".

Liu Hou was very opposed to letting the soldiers die in vain, and he did not want to divide his various teams into different classes, although objectively the Hong army was indeed divided into 369 and so on, for example, the first class was of course several semi-modern armies using firearms in the first division, then the rattan armor army, then the reserve troops such as the fourth division, and finally the baggage transport team of the half civilian and half army.

This can actually be seen in the treatment of soldiers, equipment, and the arrangement of them during the battle, but these are conventional, and can even be said to be unspoken rules, everyone knows that this is the case, but Liu Hou has never admitted or publicly said this difference.

That is, on the surface, the troops are equal, and the rank of the commander of the units is the same. Therefore, he was resistant to Bu Qi Tiyì letting the Fourth Division go to the test.

Seeing that he didn't agree, Bu Qi persuaded him again, and finally he agreed. The current shape is not clear, if you do not send troops to pursue, it is very likely to miss the opportunity to destroy the enemy, so it is necessary to send a group of men and horses to catch up and see the situation.

And this matter is too dangerous, the possibility of Sima Yi setting up an ambush is more than fifty percent, and Deng Zhi even thinks that it is more than eighty percent, if the pursuing troops are sacrificed, it is better to let the fourth division go than to let the elite troops go, so as to minimize the losses.

Anyone can calculate such a simple arithmetic problem, Liu Hou just couldn't accept it emotionally for a while, but he quickly calmed down and made a rational decision, agreeing to let the Fourth Division send 5,000 people to explore the area to see if Sima Yi was really there.

After Zhu Bao became the division commander, he never fought a good battle, and he was really a little aggrieved. finally got His Majesty to agree to him as a striker, but there was still no battle to fight. How does this not make him anxious? His heart for meritorious service has long been floating, and he has long been unable to know where he has gone.

At this time, he received an order from Liu Hou to send 5,000 men to pursue the Wei army, and he immediately ordered all the men and horses, personally went into battle shirtless, and charged in the direction of the Wei army's rout with 5,000 men and horses.

Liu Hou, who was standing on the high platform, saw him rush out first, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, does this guy know the current shape? If he really fell into the trap and died, then there would be a good show to watch, how could he be regarded as a division commander of the Shu army, even if it was a reserve division, it was also a division, and the status of the division commander was already quite high, if he sacrificed a division commander on his side in this battle, how big the impact would be He knows?

Liu Hou didn't expect Zhu Bao to be so hot-blooded and impulsive like the vulture bones, so when he issued the order, he didn't specifically tell him not to go into battle, but simply asked him to send 5,000 men and horses to pursue the Wei army's rout, the focus was to see if the people in that area were Sima Yi, and then arrest the people there, and they must be guaranteed to be captured.

Who knew that this Zhu Bao took advantage of the loophole and led the troops directly into battle. In fact, this can't be blamed on Zhu Bao, he has always led a cold weapon unit, and naturally he has not gotten rid of the idea of cold weapon combat in the past. In the previous cold weapon troops, it was normal for the generals to rush to the front.

Zhu Bao is also a general with good martial arts, and now that the emperor has ordered him to pursue, how could he not want to show himself well in front of the emperor, in his opinion, a fierce general who fights bravely can naturally get the emperor's attention, where would he think that Liu Hou's thinking is the thinking of the hot # soldier # weapon era.

In Liu Hou's view, in the battle of the hot # soldier # weapon era, the platoon commander and company commander take the lead in the charge, which is commendable, and the praise of "combat bravery" is indispensable, and even the battalion commander is no problem to charge when necessary, but if the regiment commander also runs to charge, it is a bit unprofessional, if a division commander charges in the front line, it can only be said to be unreliable.

In the Hong army, there is indeed such an unreliable division commander, that is, the vulture bone, every time he fights, he must have his share, no one can persuade him, and whoever persuades him is in a hurry. Therefore, Liu Hou had no choice but to find a few military academy graduates to join him in the army, and when he personally went into battle, the staff composed of these soldiers took his place to command.

The vulture bone is protected by his set of rattan armor made of hundred-year-old tree vines, Liu Hou is not very worried about his safety, but now there is a division commander Zhu Bao who is also so unreliable, which really makes Liu Hou cry and laugh, he has no rattan armor protection. In the past, because Zhu Bao had been protecting the baggage team, Liu Hou was not very clear about his style, but now he has seen it.
