Chapter 53: Before and After the Decisive Battle

In ancient times, a general did not rely on force to become an enemy of 10,000 people.

It's more about wisdom and calmness.

As the saying goes, the generals are planning but not brave, and the soldiers are fine but not many.

How many can you kill? Ten? Hundred?

For 5,000 years, 100 people have been cut out of just four, except for King Xiang, the other three are quite watery.

And a general, when he goes to the battlefield, relies more on the soldiers under his command and his own soldiers.

When it comes to leading troops, we have to talk about command.

No matter how high the martial arts are, they are just showcases on the battlefield.

Two minions can kill you.

And from ancient times to the present, there are not two hundred generals who can command 10,000 people, but one hundred and eighteen.

however

Those who can bring 100,000 will not exceed 50.

There are less than 20 people who can command 300,000.

Those who can lead an army of 500,000 have so far only been Bai, Han, and Su.

The titles of these three people are: Human Slaughter, Soldier Immortal, and God of War

And fighting a war is not as simple as playing a house, giving a password and clicking the mouse.

Let's start with a joke.

Let's talk about walking.

In peacetime, if you lead hundreds of people to go out for a walk, go to the surrounding attractions to have a round, and come back with a lot of them, it is already very remarkable.

To be able to organize a thousand people, to travel across provinces, and finally come back neatly and safely, in ancient times, there was no problem to be a general.

During the war years, if you can lead 10,000 people to walk 3,500 miles, without getting lost or falling behind, then the historians will definitely write a strong stroke on the biographies of famous generals.

can lead hundreds of thousands of people to walk a thousand kilometers, that is definitely a soldier immortal, the god of war is alive, then congratulations, the ten philosophers and seventy-two generals of Wumiao, there will be a place for you.

Don't forget, it's just taking people out for a walk.

And now, there are a variety of communication devices and a variety of GPS navigation software.

Available in distant antiquity......

Therefore, the real generals are rarely seen by studying the military books.

More of them are fought out from the bottom step by step.

Inside the armory vault

In the air, there was silence for a while, and Yang Tingfeng suddenly said: "Now it seems that it is inevitable to fight with the barbarians again, and the military strategy of Young Marshal He Lou is very good, but Yang wants to modify it slightly." ”

When everyone heard this, they became interested, and they all stood up straight and listened to Yang Tingfeng's words.

Yang Tingfeng was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "The plan remains the same, but the people who guard the secret path should be replaced by Yang, Brother Xiao and some sergeants, while Young Marshal He Lou led the large army out of the secret passage and pulled out the barbarians' backs." As soon as the horses are recaptured, a signal will be given from the periphery, and we will flank from the inside and out, break through the encirclement, and retreat together from the purple plug. ”

He Lou was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Yang, why is this?" ”

Yang Tingfeng explained: "Among the five of us, Young Marshal He Lou, He Bochang, and Mu Shichang are good at cavalry and field battles; Brother Xiao is good at foot combat, melee combat, and one-on-one, one-to-many melee combat; And I, Yang someone, asked myself if my marksmanship was not weak, and it was longer than defense. Of course, the most important thing is that Yang and Brother Xiao have never led a hundred troops to fight, and they have no experience in this area. ”

He said a word, and others didn't have much to say.

He Lou Yiyue didn't expect Yang Tingfeng to speak out about his weakness, and secretly admired it in his heart, so he bowed his head and said: "Since Brother Yang said so, the situation is urgent, and it is inconvenient to refuse." ”

"In this way, thank you to the young marshal and you." Yang Tingfeng smiled, paused, he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly hugged his fists and said: "Here, there is also an infantry combat method, which can fight against cavalry, it is mostly something on paper, a few more words, and I hope you will bear with me." ”

He Lou Yiyue also hugged his fists and said: "Brother Yang doesn't have to be modest, please come." ”

Yang Tingfeng nodded and began to tell the story, relaying everyone's thousand-vehicle tactics.

But he didn't blindly copy Liu Sui's thousands of words, and he mostly mentioned his own understanding.

Although he said that it was just talk on paper, everyone listened very carefully and felt reasonable.

Since He Ruoyi knew Yang Tingfeng's identity, he poured out his heart and lungs, obeyed his words, and kept nodding and patting his horse.

After talking for most of the time, Yang Tingfeng suddenly said: "Everyone, it's better for me to eat first, and then I'll talk about it when I'm full!" How is it? ”

"Yes, yes, eat first!" He Ruoyi echoed.

He Lou Yiyue also nodded, beckoned to summon four personal soldiers, took out two iron pots from his sheepskin bag, took out flint, straw, and dry firewood to raise the fire, and cut a bag of corn with a knife, poured it into the pot, scooped a spoonful of water, covered the pot to cook, and after the water boiled, it was distributed to everyone to eat.

Yang Tingfeng looked around at everyone and smiled simply. He subconsciously stroked his chin, and the stubble thickened.

It seems that after continuous battles, the body has been in a state of excitement, and even the hair has grown much faster.

Looking forward to it, his eyes met Xiao Wolf, the two looked at each other for a moment, Xiao Wolf pointed to the side, and whispered: "Brother, come!" Yang Tingfeng shook his head.

The two found a corner and sat opposite each other, Xiao Wolf held two bowls of corn porridge, handed them to Yang Tingfeng and said, "Come, eat!" Only when you are full can you have the strength to kill the enemy! Yang Tingfeng took it, took the bowl and drank it.

The two were silent until they finished drinking the corn porridge, Xiao Wolf suddenly put down the black bowl and said in a low voice: "Who to drink with and sing a few words of copper smell?" ”

Yang Tingfeng waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiao, what do you mean?" ”

Xiao Wolf sighed, nodded and said, "Your master, it's very good!" ”

Yang Tingfeng said: "Yes...... Very good. ”

Xiao Wolf's expression darkened, and he sighed again: "No, brother, what Xiao means is that your master is very strict-mouthed, and it seems that he kept his oath and did not tell you that secret." ”

Yang Tingfeng frowned, and exclaimed, "Dare to ask Brother Xiao, what is the secret?" Back then, what happenedβ€”"

Suddenly, he stopped talking.

Because, Xiao Wolf has already begun to shake his head.

The two were relatively speechless again, Xiao Wolf got up and grabbed two empty bowls, scooped up two bowls of corn porridge, and handed Yang Tingfeng a bowl, the two of them looked up to the sky and drank it all, drank a bowl, drank another bowl, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

After a while, Xiao Wolf suddenly leaned into Yang Tingfeng's ear and whispered, his voice was very soft, and the people around him couldn't hear the two of them talking, but they were all puzzled by what the two were talking about while drinking porridge.

After speaking, Yang Tingfeng's pupils dilated suddenly, he put down the bowl, looked at Xiao Wolf, and nodded heavily.

Xiao Wolf said loudly: "Let's get down to business." ”

Yang Tingfeng nodded and said, "The Broken Dragon Stone is hard, what Brother Xiao said is that it cannot be broken unless there is a battering ram; Even if it doesn't, sooner than tonight, or later tomorrow, the stone gate will be breached. ”

Xiao Wolf was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Brother Yang, I am not afraid of death, and my sister's revenge has been avenged, so I have no regrets." It's just a little seven...... Alas......" he said, with a look of regret in his eyes.

He was born in the side branch of the Xiao clan in Lanling.

During the Yongjia Rebellion, when they moved south, this branch of their family did not choose to go south, but moved to the bitter cold land in the north with their family.

During the Wuhu Rebellion, the whole family participated in the righteous army of Ran Min, the king of Wumourning, fought a lot of battles, retreated many enemies, killed a lot of Hu people, recaptured many Han cities, and rescued many Han women.

However, the good times did not last long, in 352 AD, Ran Min was defeated, failed to break through, and was defeated by Murong Ke, the king of Taiyuan, and was captured by Murong Jun, the king of Yan, and was beheaded in the containment of Shanshan.

This branch of theirs is still guarding Yecheng, the lord is dead, and there are no reinforcements, and it was finally broken and almost wiped out.

Fortunately, some of the masters of the clan desperately escaped from Yecheng and went into exile all the way, until they entered the land of Yanzhao and the side of Yingxue Lake, and then they escaped.

For more than 100 years after that, their tribe settled here, depressed and hidden, and obscure.

It wasn't until more than 30 years ago that Bosho Khan invaded the north, and this tribe of theirs was slaughtered again.

And this time, except for Xiao Wolf himself, no one can escape this catastrophe.

Now, his heart has been buried in front of his sister's empty grave.

The fighting spirit was also buried in the pit of thousands of people of the Xiao clan.

This state was not changed slightly until I met the male lord and the child.

Now that the lord has died, there is only the last trace of tenderness left in his heart.

Yang Tingfeng raised his eyes, looked at Xiao Wolf, was slightly stunned, and said secretly: "Could it be that what Brother Xiao said is the young man he met outside the mountain temple before?" ”

He was never at ease, this new big brother.

He couldn't put his mind at ease because this big brother was fragile and sensitive.

Although, Xiao Wolf's appearance is so rugged and heroic, vigorous and brave.

But he saw early on that he, Xiao Qi, was actually an extremely soft-hearted person.

And now, his biggest weakness is the young man named Xiao Qi......
