As soon as Gu Changan sat down, the fat housekeeper Lao Luo came to serve him a meal with a smile:

"Eldest Prince, please use it slowly!"

made Gu Changan a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ask casually: "Second brother, what festival are we having today?" ”

Gu Yanning threw the chicken wings that were gnawed to the point of only chicken bones on the dinner plate, wiped the oil stains on his mouth and hands with a napkin, and said unsatisfactorily: "That's not it, it's just that our father passed a book to the paper crane at home today, and brought back two family letters, one large and one small." ”

The eldest sister Gu Qingyun followed with a smile and said: "Dad, he just won a great victory in the north, took another stronghold, and rescued many captive people, cattle and sheep from the hands of the beast barbarians. Yan Ning, show your father's letter to your eldest brother. ”

With an "oh", Gu Yanning lifted the tablecloth, took out a letter from below, and handed it over.

Gu Changan took the family letter in his hand: "Didn't you say that there are two family letters?" ”

Gu Yanning smiled: "That little family letter is for my mother alone, and this everyone's letter is what we can all read." ”

I said how could this Dugu lady pull her face down and take the initiative to adjust my seat to the stinky brother...... It seems that although this cheap dad fights on horses and is good at military affairs, he still misses this family in the end......

And the content of the small family letter to Mrs. Dugu alone should be summed up in one sentence: This family must be united, and you should stop wearing small shoes for our Gu family.

Gu Changan unfolded the letter and read it.

The words written by Gu Yanlie, a cheap father, are not as elegant as those who are scholars, but are like spears and halberds, revealing a rough and heroic, concise and fierce, free and uninhibited momentum, and this handwriting is not beautiful to describe with words like "power through the back of the paper" and "three points into the wood".

As the general of Shenlongwei of the second rank of the dynasty, Gu Yanlie had already entered the Seven Realms of Martial Arts - Yijian many years ago, and there were 300,000 people in the northern border army under his command, all of whom were brave and good at fighting, and they were a group of tiger and wolf soldiers.

However, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, their opponents are superior.

Although the beast barbarians also retain a lot of beast characteristics in appearance, they are completely different from the tiger clan, bear clan, and wolf clan in the demon clan.

The beast barbarians are still human beings in essence, a group of nomads who gallop and hunt on the grassland, but they have accepted the bloodline inheritance of the ancient beast gods in ancient times, and their bodies have undergone a certain degree of strengthening and mutation, becoming taller, stronger, and more powerful.

Their horse breed has also been improved by the Wasa wizards, and their bodies have grown up with scales, as strong as dragon scales, light as a feather, and they are natural high-grade armor, which ordinary bows and crossbows and swords cannot hurt in the slightest.

There are still a considerable number of Tianjiao warriors in their tribe, who dare to climb the majestic giant god mountain with their bare hands, and tame the fierce and beautiful ancient relics of the giant god eagle as their own mounts.

Every giant eagle cavalry is an invincible existence on the battlefield.

Whether it is the impregnable infantry phalanx or the cavalry charge of the tsunami torrent, if you are not careful, you will be torn open a big gap by the giant eagle cavalry of the beast barbarians, causing huge turmoil in the army's heart.

However, the legions of the Daheng Dynasty also had their own advantages.

One is the battle array, and the other is the battle spirit.

In ancient times, the Terrans found that if their armies formed battle formations according to certain laws, and the fighting spirit of each soldier was continuous, it would be able to burst out with unparalleled combat effectiveness.

There is a quick proverb to prove it:

"The stragglers are not brave enough, and the spirit of war is not penetrating."

"I use the Heavenly Machine to set up a magic array, and three thousand iron armors can slaughter the gods."

Because of the existence of the magic circle and battle will, the Daheng Legion can truly be comparable to the gods with the body of a mortal.

In the face of such a three-thousand-iron charge, in the face of the monstrous battle intent comparable to the gods, a land immortal like Kui Gang Guoshi can run and escape, but he may not be able to withstand this terrifying charge.

Gu Yanlie himself is a martial artist of the Seven Realms, and he is proficient in arranging troops, and has strict military laws, since he was transferred to the north to fight against the beast barbarian army, he has achieved countless big victories and small victories, and has also won reputations such as "Zhenguo Sword" and "Northern Pillar Stone".

"Our father has always been a great martial artist, and it would be good if I could go to the north to fight with him on the battlefield. A man should pick up a gun and get on his horse, charge into battle, and make a contribution! But now I'm standing guard at the Vientiane Shrine every day, and it's a bit boring. ”

Gu Yanning looked at the back of the letter and couldn't help but complain, then he shook his head, let out a helpless wry smile, and continued to grab a roast chicken wing and bite it.

Gu Changan folded the letter again, and then began to move his chopsticks, and teased his stinky brother's words: "Come on, you, your limbs are developed, your mind is simple, and you don't read a few more military books, and if you go to the north, you will add to the chaos." ”

Gu Yanning retorted unconvinced: "Big brother, you look down on me a little, right?" Although I don't read much military books, I have studied a lot of formation diagrams, and I can memorize the Eight Ancient Fierce Formations, the Sky Covering Array, the Earth Carrying Array, the Four Elephant Array, and the Nine Dead Trapped Dragon Array, as long as I am given enough troops, I can still put them out! ”

"...... on paper"

Gu Changan gave an evaluation without being salty, and then said:

"Even if you can arrange your troops, then let me ask you a few simpler questions, how much is a soldier's daily ration? And how much is the ration for a day for 10,000 soldiers?

"How much forage does it take to raise a cavalryman in a year? How much silver taels does it cost a year to repair armor and horseshoes? If you raise a thousand cavalry, how many blacksmiths do you need to equip them?

"If you have a 10,000-strong army, how many logistical personnel do you need to have? How much does it cost to transport grain and grass per 100 miles? How much is left to reach your destination? ”

Receiving this series of dense questions, Gu Yanning stopped gnawing on the chicken wings, and was stunned for a while before he said with a little weakness: "Isn't it okay to hand over these miscellaneous trivial matters to the quartermaster?" And the strategies you mentioned in the war book can also be handed over to the strategists to come up with ideas. Why should I bother to ask for everything! ”

Gu Changan shook his head and smiled meaningfully: "As a general who commands the army, you don't have to worry about everything, but if you don't know everything, you have to rely on your subordinates, how can you win the battle?" ”

Seeing Gu Changan's unfathomable look, even the eldest sister Gu Qingyun couldn't help but dilate her pupils slightly, and then asked, "Chang'an...... So what do you think makes it to win? ”

Gu Changan lightly stretched out three fingers and said calmly: "No matter how ever-changing the battlefield is, it will never deviate from its origin, there are only the following three situations.

"First, if you don't know the other or yourself, you will lose every battle.

"Second, I don't know the other, I only know myself, one wins and one loses.

"Third, know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles."

Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles...... Gu Qingyun and Gu Yanning's sister and brother also heard such a concept of using troops for the first time, and they suddenly felt empowered.
