Battle of Changping Chapter 067 The Zhao army rested temporarily under the barrier
It's just that whether it is Zhao Kuo or Sun Gu, they all know that this atmosphere is easy to come and go and difficult to go, maybe only the blood on the battlefield can really let them know what it means to maintain awe.
Of course, not all the generals maintained an optimistic attitude, and several captains of the Northland Cavalry smelled something unusual. The army in the north has been fighting with foreign races all year round, and they are all "killing gods" who come out of blood and fire, which is naturally a little incompatible with the army of Handan.
So several lieutenants who felt a little strange unconsciously bumped into each other on the way to the march.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, although I have doubts in my heart, but I don't know where to start.
It was still a slightly younger lieutenant who broke the embarrassment and said, "Brothers, the younger brother has some strange thoughts in his heart, and he is not unhappy. This battle of Guangwolf City should have been fast, and when the Qin army was not firmly established, they chased the dead and chased the north, and rushed for hundreds of miles in one fell swoop, and they could fight in less than three days. But the general not only ordered us to pursue for thirty miles, but also built walls along the way, and the army had to be repaired for a day today. It's not ......"
At this point, Du Wei broke off slightly, which was the last respect for Zhao Kuo. But everyone knows that what Lieutenant wants to say is nothing more than the four words "delay the military plane."
Once someone starts, the generals who are already full of questions will no longer be able to hold back the words of discussion in an instant.
"Not only that, but the war is imminent, and the general has not held a pre-battle meeting."
"Our army doesn't even know the direction of the main attack and the main attack corps, only that the destination is Light Wolf City, which is really too casual!" Another lieutenant complained.
"What I said is that in the battle of the barriers, although the general did not call us to discuss together, he also explained it in advance, and the follow-up orders were even clearer, and now, except for the goal of marching, the light wolf city, the rest is unknown. Is it a closure? Is it missing one of the three around? I don't know what the tasks are. ”
"However, there is no sense of urgency in the whole army, we are still waiting for the northern army, and the army from Handan seems to think that the light wolf city is already in the bag! This arrogant soldier is the way to defeat! ”
"Fortunately, the general seems to have rectified the atmosphere, otherwise it may cause a catastrophe."
The generals nodded silently, the knot in their hearts was slightly relieved, at least they still knew the severity, and they were not blinded by the temporary victory, but the discussion of the battle did not stop there.
"Gentlemen, please take a closer look at the strategic layout of our army, the front is light and the rear is heavy, it is not like an offensive arrangement at all, but it is like a defensive act."
"Not to stop there, it stands to reason that when a large army goes out, the cavalry should be escorted on both flanks, and the Chinese army should march in a goose or cone formation. And now, almost all of our northern cavalry are concentrated in the north, while the foot soldiers are mostly concentrated in the middle and south roads, advancing while building fortresses, and arriving at Guangwolf City, the Qin army has long been prepared. Another general said puzzled.
"There is also military rations, and it is normal to distribute grain and grass before the war, but unless it is an expedition of a partial division, the rest of the battalions will not carry more than three days of grain and grass, and now they have brought half a month's worth of grain, and the military quarters in my battalion are crazy, and they have never fought such a rich war, because of the lack of grain, carts and horses, my Shuzuo is complaining!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, but it made the generals complain a little less, and the northland army, which was accustomed to the wind and sand and bitter cold in the north, and was accustomed to starvation, would one day worry about too much grain and grass.
"Do you want to remind the Admiral? After all, the general is still young, maybe because of the surprise attack on the fortress, the Qin army's combat power has been misestimated? One person asked.
After speaking, the scene fell silent again.
It's also human nature, it's one thing to talk about and complain about each other, but it's another thing to report to the sky and make trouble with the leader and put forward opinions. What's more, this leader had just led them to take down the Qin army barrier that they hadn't taken for three years.
At this time, let alone the leader, but the spittle of the rest of the soldiers can completely drown you.
"The general has already wished that General Sun Gu should rectify the camp style, and he is obviously aware of some problems."
"Yes! The general was unexpected, and perhaps there were other calculations in this battle, which did not allow our army to level the Wolf City in one fell swoop. ”
"It's the pole, it's the pole. Before the general came, did we ever think about attacking the Qin army fortress? And how can you fight in one fight? This is all the general's plan. ”
"That being the case, the princes can no longer discuss the general in vain, the matter of grain and grass may not be as simple as imagined, it is said that the Chinese army did not leave a single grain, and the grain officers have been included in the battle sequence. As for the arrangement of troops, the general has his own arrangements. ”
"Let's go to each battalion, restrain our subordinates, prepare for a hard battle, and wait patiently for the general's orders!" A slightly older lieutenant concluded.
Everyone nodded one after another, and a small military discussion between the generals of the northern (generational) region was stopped. The lieutenants then slowly dispersed, but a few more people looked for the ordinary lieutenants and chatted again!
"The cavalry under your boy's command has not suffered much losses!"
"It's fine! When you were in pursuit, you lost more than a dozen horsemen, and the armor was repaired, and the horsepower was slightly insufficient, what about your archers? ”
"It's okay, it's all staffed!"
"That's the same old way, I broke through in the middle, and you covered on both wings?"
"Hmm!"
Obviously, in just a few words, a consensus has been reached with each other, and behind this simple exchange is more than ten years of knowledge and tacit cooperation in the fight between Dai Di and Hu Ren.
Zhao Kuo is naturally aware of the doubts and worries of the generals, and some of them are indeed deliberately done by Zhao Kuo, such as the deployment of troops in front of and behind, and the "delay of military aircraft" in the pursuit of thirty miles and the attack while repairing the fortress, all of which Zhao Kuo deliberately did in order to preserve his strength.
But there are also problems that Zhao Kuo did not expect: such as the arrogance that permeates the barracks.
Killing Zhao Kuo didn't expect that just a victory in the battle for the barrier would make Zhao Jun, who had always been a little scared, actually come to a big reversal.
This is indeed something that Zhao Kuo did not expect.
However, fortunately, Zhao Kuo ordered the army to repair in situ for one day, and this day's time was enough for Zhao Kuo to do a lot of things, including correcting this arrogant wind, and it was also enough for the generals who had a heart to slowly guess their intentions.
In one day, the barrier on the west bank of Danshui was gradually repaired under Xu Li's strict orders; In the main camp, after a little repair, hundreds of thousands of troops renovated the camp again; In the mountains and forests to the north, several elites of the Zhao army are still struggling to explore on the mountain paths; The Zhao army in the Daliang Mountain and the defense line of the Bailishi Great Wall also died down and became extraordinarily quiet......
Everything seemed to slow down, lest it disturb the sleeping baby.
