0278 Capture the Flag
"Those who are seven feet tall are out of the ranks!"
In the camp that had just been built, Zhao Gui and his subordinates did not have the leisure of killing sheep and cooking, everyone looked serious, and Zhao Gui personally selected the vanguard team that would attack the opponent's camp later.
Although it is just a drill, victory or defeat is not about life and death, but it is about dignity. Although there are other reasons for the first defeat, it has already made Zhao Gui feel that he can't get off the stage, and if he fails again, it will really be shameless.
Therefore, for the next two competitions, Zhao Gui even had a feeling of being ruined in his heart, and no matter what, he would no longer allow new failures!
Rong Ma for half his life, Zhao Gui was also a person who knew the soldiers, and soon divided the troops participating in the drill into different combat teams according to their physical fitness and technical talents, and then personally led the troops to the camp where Li Tai's troops were located, and made up his mind to conquer the camp in one go.
The two camps are more than ten miles apart, and it is not close to say that it is not close, but it is not far away. Because Zhao Gui's troops took more time to camp than Li Tai's troops, and Zhao Gui's troops were finely reorganized, more than an hour had passed.
When Zhao Gui's subordinates appeared in the field outside the camp, the soldiers in the camp happened to eat the fragrant mutton mixed with grain cakes, and each of them wiped the oil flowers on their mouths and patted their round stomachs with hearty expressions.
The surrounding spectators couldn't help but laugh out loud after seeing this scene, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no telling how many new changes will occur in a moment.
Li Tai's unit completed the construction of the barracks one step ahead, which should have been a great advantage, and if they could seize this opportunity to continue to strengthen the construction of various defenses in the barracks, they would be able to make up for some of the terrain disadvantages to a greater or lesser extent.
However, they did not choose to continue to strengthen the camp defense, but chose to waste this precious opportunity to have a full meal. Now they were well fed, but the enemy had already slaughtered outside the camp, and there was no more time left for them.
The spectators just thought it was funny and lively, but in the eyes of Zhao Gui and his subordinates, the lax defense of Li Tai's department fell into the eyes of Zhao Gui and his subordinates, which was tantamount to a naked provocation, which made this already humiliating team suddenly become even more combative!
"Attack! Those who can get into battle first will be rewarded! ”
Zhao Guile rode in the middle of the front of the team, pointed to Li Taifang's boxy camp in front of him and shouted loudly.
Under normal circumstances, he didn't have to be so close to the front line of the battle, but before Yuwen Hu came to Baishui to convey the order of Daxingtai, the two sides were not allowed to send their own people with names to participate in the competition.
Although this did not affect the total number of troops participating in the battle, it made many team leaders and commanders unable to fight, which inevitably made the transmission of command and orders in Zhao Gui's trilogy a little sluggish and not as smooth as before.
Therefore, Zhao Gui also had to get closer to the front of the battle to ensure that his orders could be transmitted to the warring teams as soon as possible.
With his order, the vanguard team took the lead in rushing towards the camp, but at this time, the Li Tai tribes in the camp, who were already lax, had not yet been effectively integrated.
When Zhao Guifang's carefully selected and powerful vanguard team had already approached the barracks wall, a white flag was suddenly erected inside the camp gate.
"W-What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, not only the surrounding crowd, but even Zhao Gui's subordinates, who were still gritting their teeth and charging wildly at the last moment, were also a little stunned for a while, and some couldn't figure out the situation.
Li Tai ignored whether the spectators and opponents accepted it or not, and after ordering the white flag to be erected, he led his subordinates to withdraw from the other side of the camp, and exited the battlefield cleanly, never staying in battle.
They built this camp just to win the first battle, and by the way, they had a hot meal in this camp, and they never thought of relying on this camp to win the second battle.
"Demolish this camp for me, demolish it!"
The victory came as scheduled, but when he saw Li Tai's subordinates marching outside the camp after withdrawing with the white flag, the happiness in Zhao Gui's heart was greatly reduced, and he only felt that this victory was given by others, and it was not worth cherishing at all.
Although Li Tai directly raised the white flag and admitted defeat, it was a big surprise, but this camp was indeed built very solidly, otherwise he would not have won the first battle under the attention of the masses.
It would take a lot of effort to dismantle such a solid camp. Seeing that Zhao Gui's troops were so tired that they were humming and panting, Li Tai couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Gong Zhongshan, next I will lead my troops to attack your camp, since I have won here, why should I spend my strength on this empty camp?" ”
Why didn't you say it earlier!
Zhao Gui indifferently glanced at the camp that had already been demolished, and snorted again: "Looking at Li's method of supervising the war, it is difficult to affect the battle situation even if a little loss of morale is concerned!" ”
Although he unceremoniously expressed his disdain, Zhao Gui did not continue to urge his subordinates to waste their efforts here, but ordered to withdraw from the camp and return to their own camp as a whole team to prepare for the next defensive battle.
Li Tai watched Zhao Gui's troops gradually drift away, and after saying goodbye to his family and horses, he also digested more properly, it was when his morale and strength were the fullest, so he simply sent people to admit defeat to the host Yu Jin, and gave up all of them without trying this offensive and defensive battle, and expressed his hope to start the next game as soon as possible.
After hearing Li Tai's admitting defeat, Yu Jin and others couldn't help but be in an uproar, and some generals who were close to Zhao Gui and not optimistic about him couldn't help but laugh at him, saying that this so-called rising star of the Taiwan government would only have some face-saving efforts to camp and line up, and as soon as it was implemented in the specific offensive and defensive match, they showed their timidity, and they didn't even dare to try, which really made people laugh off their big teeth.
But there are also people who grasp Li Tai's tactical intention, and first determine a certain lead through the victory in the first game, and then give up the second offensive and defensive battle that is extremely depleting to morale and morale, and press the chance to really decide the victory or defeat in the field battle in the third game.
Such a tactical arrangement can indeed be called to exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, which invisibly offsets the advantages of Zhao Gui's troops who have rich combat experience and know how to regulate physical strength and rhythm in high-intensity operations.
Moreover, Zhao Gui's troops traveled dozens of miles back and forth, which was also a great drain on the physical strength of men and horses, which caused a disadvantage in the next field battle.
After such an operation, except for the fact that this consecutive admission of defeat was a bit undignified, it greatly improved the final odds of victory, and it was a small means to play under the noses of Zhao Gui and the generals watching the battle, but everyone was unaware at first. When he thought about it, some of the generals who were still laughing at Li Tai couldn't help but stop talking.
Even Yu Jin, after a little silence, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Li Boshan is indeed a person who knows the situation of the army, and he is not a rash and arrogant incompetent young person who anticipates the opportunity and plans before it happens. ”
"But whether it is a clever plan to defeat the enemy or a self-defeating plan still depends on the final outcome or defeat? He is a new man, and it is not easy to gather and annihilate Zhao Hussar's old army in the wilderness! ”
There are still people who can't help but say stiffly, for some people who have too much collective honor, the situation has developed to this point, and it is no longer a dispute between Li Tai and Zhao Gui, but a contest between the new and old nobles of the overlord, and it is inevitable that there are some thoughts of hatred and hatred in their hearts.
Not long after Zhao Gui led his troops back to the camp, he received the news from Yu Jin's envoy, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood Li Tai's strategy.
Seeing that the men and horses were quite tired, he did not want to be strong for the sake of face, and fought for half an hour of rest time for the troops to rest in the camp, and personally walked among the ranks to cheer for the troops: "Although our army is not a victorious army, the one who can defeat me is by no means the new pawn!" They are cowardly and wrestling, so they are cunning and cunning to consume my strength......"
Half an hour passed quickly, and each of them led their troops to the vicinity of an oval-shaped mound, where the third battle took place, and the soldiers of each side had to fight for each other's flags within a radius of several miles, and if the flag was taken away, or expelled from the established area, it was considered a defeat.
Accompanied by the rousing drums, the two sides arranged their own formations. Zhao Gui's side is half a horse, the formation is complex and meticulous, it can be said to be both offensive and defensive, on the other hand, Li Tai's side, the formation is more casual, and the three cavalry formations on the left, middle and right are each charging.
The team of cavalry looks more majestic, but because the use of bows and crossbows is forbidden in the drill, although the cavalry has the agility of the clutch, it cannot quickly tear apart the infantry battle formation, which is a disadvantage.
But Li Tai didn't care about this, as the drums stopped, the horn of the charge sounded, and the leading horse galloped out, rushing straight towards Zhao Gui's phalanx.
"The sword and shield are in the front, the spear is in the center, and the ...... is covered by jumping"
Zhao Gui looked at Li Tai and his subordinates who were rushing towards him, and his mood became a little nervous, but he still arranged the troops in an orderly manner and dispatched the soldiers to resist.
"Rush! Reward for catching Zhao Gui! ”
Li Tai took the lead in riding his horse and rushed to the front of the formation, and the large staff in his hand stabbed forward, forcing several sword and shield soldiers in front of the formation to the rear of the enemy formation, but without turning his heels, his advance was blocked, and several spears in the enemy formation stabbed straight at him.
Li Tai turned a blind eye to all kinds of obstructions, and smashed the two oncoming shots to block and smash them, and the other shots were all eaten hard by the armor stomach, although there was no direct pain, but the fierce shock of the blow also made him a little unbearable, so he gritted his teeth and rushed into the formation.
At the same time, the other knights also rushed forward, rushing towards the enemy formation along the opening that Li Tai had fought for, and soon tore out a shocking gap in this formation.
"Jump and flank, hurry, don't join the Chinese army and cause chaos!"
Zhao Gui's original formation was very thorough, both offensive and defensive, but when Li Tai led his troops straight into the formation, the situation was suddenly different.
Although Zhao Gui was still shouting loudly, trying to make the soldiers settle in their respective positions and exert the inherent utility power of the formation, due to the lack of effective commander in the formation to supervise the battle, the entire formation was irretrievably collapsed!
"Capture Zhao Gui, capture the battle flag!"
Li Tai didn't care about the dispatch and command of the troops at this time, his eyes were just staring at the direction of Zhao Gui's car and the movement of the flag, and he kept swinging his staff forward.
