Chapter 1208: Experience

The military attachés thought that the referee's judgment was obviously biased and too unreasonable, while Cai Xiao thought that the referee's judgment could not be more reasonable, and after the exercise, he had to have a good banquet for these referees who knew the times. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He also deliberately asked left and right who the referees of the exercise were, and those who knew the inside story replied: All of them are gentlemen from the Lingwu Academy!
Cai Xiao nodded again and again, feeling that the gentlemen of the Lingwu Academy had finally done something that was not too rigid.
Soon, the referee passed the battle report to Shangguan Xiu. He glanced down, the corners of his mouth raised, and handed the battle report in his hand to Wu Yufei, so that she could pass it on to everyone.
By the time the military attachés finished reading the battle report, people's faces were not very good-looking, and the weather was uncertain, but no one said that the referee was biased.
People only saw Cai Huang sending a few battalions of troops, not carrying artillery or mortars, and rushing into the forest lightly.
But what people didn't see was that the soldiers of these battalions were carrying military bags on their backs, and there were several water bladders in the bags, and the water bladders were not filled with water, but with fire oil.
After they ran into the woods, they sprinkled all the fire oil they were carrying into the forest, and it can be said that the woods at this time were a huge firewood pile.
Cai Huang used the strength of several battalions to drag the soldiers of the two corps of the Fourth Army Corps in the woods, and after the artillery behind them launched a salvo, the entire forest had instantly turned into a sea of fire, and the people in the woods naturally had to be judged to have survived.
In terms of battle damage, it is definitely a big profit to sacrifice a few thousand of your own people in exchange for the annihilation of 20,000 enemies, but in terms of heart, it is really unacceptable to use your own brothers as decoy and cannon fodder.
The military attaches looked at each other, and some of them shook their heads again and again, questioning: Can it still be regarded as a victory in exchange for a victory on a local battlefield at the cost of sending his own brothers to death? Who is willing to die for him in the future, and who is willing to go to the battlefield for him and kill the enemy desperately?
There are also military attachés who have expressed disagreement with this statement. His Royal Highness once said in the military martial arts hall that in the end, the competition is often the imagination of the main generals of both sides, and the more whimsical the tactics, the more likely it is to have a surprising winning effect. I think that the tactics used by General Cai this time are very imaginative, and he has also laid an advantage for his side to fight more and fight less.
In order to win, we can ignore the lives and deaths of our comrades? We can push our brothers to die? Failure to be of one heart and one mind and unity is a great taboo in the army!
If the battle is lost, there will only be more dead and wounded brothers, and even the whole army will be wiped out, and only by winning the battle can more of our comrades and brothers walk off the battlefield alive!
......
The controversy between the military generals on both sides represents two kinds of thinking on unifying the army, one is to govern the army with benevolence and virtue, and the other is to govern the army with great righteousness.
As for what kind of thinking should be used to lead the army, it depends on the wisdom of the commander-in-chief, how to use it flexibly, and how to make the most accurate judgment.
Shangguan Xiu is very satisfied with the two ideological soldiers' respective opinions, he doesn't want the military martial arts hall and the Lingwu Academy to teach a group of puppet generals, the generals need to have their own thoughts, need to have a distinctive style, dare to question, and let a hundred schools of thought bloom together, in order to stimulate the greatest potential.
on the exercise ground. Cai Huang's surprise victory laid an advantageous situation for the affiliated army. The woods have been burned, and neither side can take advantage of the woods, and the ensuing battle is a direct collision on the frontal battlefield.
In the head-to-head confrontation, Cai Huang showed the merit of learning from others and daring to come up with whims. He sent two armies of surprise troops. The first surprise army, following the example of Ningnan's spirit team, concentrated the spirit cultivators in its own army, and was inserted by the right flank of the fourth legion.
The second surprise soldier followed Tang Wanyun's example, using the shadow clone of the dark cultivators, tying explosives and inserting them from the left wing of the Fourth Legion.
As for these spiritual cultivators in the attached army, they are basically from the wild roads of the Jianghu sect, and most of the spiritual cultivators in the rebels are from the Jianghu sect, and when Cai Huang subdued the rebels, he also included all these spiritual cultivators.
The Soul Cultivators of the Dependent Army did not have an advantage over the Soul Cultivators of the Fourth Legion, so the insertion of the right flank of the Fourth Army was also blocked again and again, and the Shadow Clone with explosives caused huge casualties to the left flank of the Fourth Legion.
On the battlefield, the first corner to lose balance was the left flank of the Fourth Army.
As the left flank was broken down, the soldiers of the two corps were forced to retreat again and again, Sui Tang had no choice but to personally lead the first corps of the battle to reinforce the left flank and stop the rout of the left flank in time.
Now, the superiority and inferiority of the two sides on the battlefield have been further expanded, the Fourth Army has done its best, all the officers and men have been put into the battlefield, and there is still a corps on the side of the auxiliary army to sweep the rear.
When the battle between the two sides had been going on for two hours, and both sides had paid heavy casualties, Cai Huang personally led 2,000 cavalry, bypassed the main battlefield, sneaked behind the enemy, and took the banner directly.
The Fourth Legion was extremely fast, and at this time, it really showed that a legion was well-trained.
The corps in the rear quickly returned to the defense and resisted the cavalry sneak attack of the attached army, but this time the cavalry sneak attack still scared Sui Tangjing and the Fourth Army out of a cold sweat.
The overall front of the Fourth Army Corps gradually retreated, and the whole army used the deployment around the banner as a cover to resist the attack of the auxiliary army. At this time, the Fourth Army was completely on the defensive, and the subsidiary army firmly occupied the advantage of the main attack.
The battle has reached this level, and it is far from being decided that the overall situation has been decided, but the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides can be clearly seen even if a layman looks at it.
There was an endless stream of ministers who congratulated Cai Xiao, and Cai Xiao was even more happy, the second son's performance this time gave him a big long face, which was equivalent to showing all the ministers in the court that their Cai family can not only produce civil ministers, but also military generals. A century-old family, the pillar of the country, cultural and martial arts, proud of the heroes, the Cai family, magnificent!
But Cai Xiao didn't be complacent for too long, and another change occurred on the battlefield.
When Cai Huang once again personally led the cavalry to attack the rear of the Fourth Army, Cai Huang was beheaded off his horse by a general, Ding Leng.
Ding Leng was originally imprisoned in the prison by Tang Ling, but after the end of the counterinsurgency, Shangguan Xiu gave an order and pardoned Ding Leng's sins. Ding Leng also returned to the Fourth Army to assist Sui Tangjing and take charge of the Fourth Army together.
When Cai Huang led the army to attack for the first time, Ding Leng was not in the rear, but fought in front, but when Cai Huang led the army to attack for the second time, Ding Leng had already retreated to defend.
Ding Leng stood in the trench, and at a glance saw Cai Huang who was rushing to the front first, he was amused, you said that you are the commander of the first army, which kind of pioneer is charged, isn't this deliberately looking for death?
Everyone took the initiative to stretch out their heads for you to cut off, Ding Leng naturally had no reason to be polite, he rushed out of the defense line and went to meet Cai Huang.
Cai Huang's recent spiritual martial arts cultivation is good, and with the assistance of spirit stones, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary spiritual cultivators, but it is not enough in front of Ding Leng.
The two faced each other, and he didn't even go over two rounds before he was swept off the war horse by Ding Leng with a shot. Ding Leng also deliberately stepped forward to check it out, and confirmed that Cai Huang's spirit armor was only broken, and the person was not injured, so he was relieved.
Holding the spirit spear, he squatted beside Cai Huang and asked, "General Cai came to die on purpose?"
Cai Huang's eyes flashed, and he pretended to be puzzled: Why did General Ding say this?
Ding Leng said angrily and funny: What do you mean by rushing up so first, not to send you to death?
Cai Huang smiled, got up from the ground, sat cross-legged on the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said: General Sui is a senior, and I am just a newcomer, so I should want to let one or two!
Hearing this, Ding Leng's face immediately sank, if Cai Huang moved the sleek set of the mall to the army, it would be a big mistake.
He was just about to speak, but Cai Huang continued: My death is not an experience for the soldiers below?
Ding looked at him coldly.
Cai Huang said quietly: If the clay pot does not break from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. Even the commander of an army can die on the battlefield at any time, and if the commander is killed, what should the soldiers below do?
Speaking of this, he smiled, looked at the battlefield in front of him with deep eyes, and said: Now, it is a good experience for them!
When Ding Leng heard this, he couldn't help but have a great change in his impression of Cai Huang and felt admiration. No wonder Brother Xiu said that he is suitable to be a soldier, and he is also a natural soldier. The generals in the army are simply a handful of people who can reach enlightenment like Cai Huang.
As the commander-in-chief, you must not only think about how you should lead the army to fight the war and how to fight the war well, but also think about how the soldiers below can not be confused, how can they persist in fighting this battle, and how can they survive.
Cai Huang's accidental death made everyone in the viewing area sigh, careless, reckless, and the good situation was wiped out because of Cai Huang's recklessness.
Cai Xiao, who was full of ambition, was so gloomy that his face was about to drip at this time, and the ministers around him who congratulated him were also wilted, and they sat back to their seats silently one by one.
On the military attaché's side, people are shaking their heads, the commander is dead, the dragons are leaderless, no matter how big the advantage is in the early stage, this battle cannot be fought.
What is surprising is that the attached army did not cause chaos because of Cai Huang's death, but the offensive slowed down a lot, and the battle with the Fourth Army showed a stalemate.
The battle between the two sides continues, but the next battlefield has not changed much.
The offensive of the affiliated army was weak and could not tear through the defense line of the Fourth Army, and the several counterattacks made by the Fourth Army were all pushed back by the auxiliary army due to insufficient strength.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu was no longer interested in continuing to watch, he beckoned to the magistrate on the side and explained: The exercise can be declared over.
Your Highness, how will the victory or defeat of the two sides be determined?
Can be set as a draw. Shangguan Xiu said indifferently.
At present, it seems that the side of the subsidiary army has the advantage of troops, but it has lost its commander, the coordination of the whole army has been out of balance, the attack is weak, and it is shrinking.
The core generals of the Fourth Army were complete, but the troops suffered losses, and the several counteroffensives against the affiliated armies did not take much advantage.
The next drill was a complete waste of time and was no longer necessary.
The decision to draw was still very fair, both sides of the exercise were acceptable, and the civilian and military generals in the viewing area did not have much objection.
According to the agreement between Shangguan Xiu and Cai Huang, as long as the auxiliary army can draw with the Fourth Army in the exercise, the auxiliary army can be retained and included in the Central Army, so even if it is a draw, it will be a complete victory for Cai Huang.
At the end of the exercise, the officers and men of both sides lined up again, and some of the officers and men who were injured in the exercise were now finally able to withdraw from the venue and receive bandaging and treatment from the medical officers outside the field.
The civil officials and ministers gathered around Cai Xiao again and congratulated one after another. For the draw, Cai Xiao could barely accept it, his gloomy face eased a lot, he smiled, and greeted the ministers around him.
Soon, the main generals of both sides of the exercise came to the viewing area, Sui Tangjing and Cai Huang stood side by side, and Shangguan Xiu intervened in both directions.
Shangguan Xiu first looked at Sui Tangjing and said: The main force of the Fourth Legion is all recruits, but on the battlefield, it is impossible to see that this is a legion composed of recruits. However, now there is a big gap between the combat power of the Fourth Army Corps and the First, Second and Third Army Corps, and how to narrow this gap next, General Sui, it depends on you.
