"What do I want to do? Hey, I wanted to stab Geng Bingwen in the eye. ”

Ten miles outside Zhending City, Zhu Di licked his lips, not caring about how outrageous his words were: "Geng Bingwen thought I would fight face-to-face with him?" I don't want to, since I know that the grain and grass of the Southern Army are in Zhending City... What am I going to do with gnawing on his king's eight shells? The battalion was not carrying water, and it was useless to break through. ”

Ma Sanbao, who was standing behind Zhu Di, had a somewhat ugly face, and the prince's mental state... Since leaving Xiong County, it has become a little strange, what did Gu Huai say to the prince? The two of them conspired in the military tent all night, and the next day the prince was a little wrong.

But Gu Huai's guy is really shameless... Although it is not as good as in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is necessary to emphasize morality in the war, saying that the two armies are really desperate for their lives when they fight against each other, and they will eat and drink well to entertain the enemy generals and finally send them back, but this kind of behavior of releasing pigeons is inevitably too unsophisticated.

Don't think about it, it must be Gu Huai's idea.

That's right, Geng Bingwen is destined not to wait for Zhu Di... The heroic words he made on the watchtower were basically playing the piano to the cow, and Zhu Di didn't plan to go to the appointment at all, but personally took more than 7,000 people around in a circle, and went around to the south bank of the Hutuo River and the southwest of Zhending City.

This is the benefit of scouts being too good, starting from the beginning of the Beiping army, these scouts who grew up in the Northern Expedition to the grassland are simply difficult to meet in the matter of covering the movement of the army and finding out the enemy's reality.

Due to the limitations of communication, the source of information for warfare in this era relied entirely on scouts and horses, and the commander of the army did not take a group of ruffians to the town to collect protection money, but brought tens of thousands of people to destroy another group of people.

It's a disaster.

Speaking of war, if we peel off all the packaging of war, its practical words can be summed up in one sentence: the form of war is the struggle between people.

If two people fight, if one of them is taller than the other, stronger than the other, and even happens to have practiced martial arts, then he will most likely be victorious.

If the scope is expanded, if two people fight one person, as long as they are thick-skinned and not afraid of others saying that victory is not martial, then the victory will definitely be theirs.

If one more person is added, then he can even let two people go up and beat each other, just sit and watch by himself, and even drink saliva, watch while drinking, and only be responsible for commanding.

If this number had been increased to a thousand to one, the other party would have fled long ago.

However, the real test, the threshold of the famous general, starts from here.

If there are a thousand men on both sides, how can you win?

It may be possible to divide a thousand men into teams to attack the opposite side, but the opponent may concentrate everyone to defeat each one, so how can you guarantee victory?

It's tricky enough to make a decision, so if you zoom in on that number, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of people on both sides, how do you fight this battle?

Take the current situation of Zhu Di as an example, there are 50,000 Yan troops he led, some of these 50,000 people are cheerful, some are gloomy, some are gentle, some are irritable, they come from different places, different dialects, different habits, except for the three guards of Yan Wang, who was originally dead to him, the other soldiers who surrendered later Zhu Di's orders may be forced to obey the order due to military discipline, but maybe they will not go all out.

And Zhu Di has to be responsible for the lives of these 50,000 people, to choose the offensive route, to ensure that 50,000 people can have food, to consider the loss of war horses, and even to consider making people sacrifice if necessary... For example, those who died on the battlefield today.

If we take into account the different qualities and IQs of these 50,000 people, this matter will be complicated exponentially, some of them are illiterate, some are elites who have learned to write, some are good at fighting, and some are soft-footed cowards when they go into battle.

These are the difficulties of commanding.

If these 50,000 people are put into the battlefield again, then there will be more things that Zhu Di will need to make a judgment, he needs to judge where the enemy is, he needs to judge how they are going to attack or defend, he needs to consider how to use his 50,000 soldiers and horses, and maintain combat effectiveness without being replenished, and he also needs to consider the speed of the army's march, to consider the impact of the weather, to consider whether the soldiers can get used to wielding swords to their comrades in the future, and to consider the morale of the soldiers. You even have to consider whether they will pick and choose.

This is the difficulty of commanding a war, most people don't understand, they think that fighting a war is just two sides with people lined up, and then fight for numbers, which side has more and which side has the advantage, and even sometimes post on the Internet, saying that Han Xin and Zhuge Liang are just like that.

But Zhu Di understands, years of war have made him familiar with these as if he was familiar with picking up chopsticks to eat, and it was precisely because of this that he agreed to Gu Huai's plan without hesitation.

He looked at Ma Sanbao: "Let them prepare grenades." ”

"I'm going to teach Geng Bingwen a lesson today... Let him know that old is old, and 7,000 people attack this kind of scene, he never thought in his life that he would be able to see it one day. ”

……

"General, it's really urgent!"

The detective horse who was in charge of delivering the news galloped into the barracks and brought a message like five thunderbolts to Geng Bingwen, who had not slept well all night.

There was even a moment when he figured out the inexplicable temptation of yesterday... thought that Zhu Di had played an empty city plan for him, and there was no army at all in Wuji City opposite, so Zhu Di took all his belongings to fight and wanted to copy his Geng Bingwen's nest.

But soon he knew that he was thinking too much, because the military newspaper made it very clear that Zhu Di only brought less than 10,000 people, and he should be playing with his life at the south gate of Zhending City at this moment.

Let's not think about how Zhu Di bypassed the camp and ran over... Did he look down on the defenders he left in Zhending, as well as the walls of the big city of Zhending?

But it didn't take long for Geng Bingwen to realize that this was an opportunity, a great opportunity.

Zhending is only ten miles away from the southern army camp, and he now has two choices, one is to send troops back to the city immediately to see if he can block Zhu Di under Zhending City... The second is the Infinite City opposite.

There are at least 40,000 soldiers and horses in it, and 40,000 dragons and leaderless Yan troops!

It's just that Geng Bingwen made a decision in an instant, there is no need to care about Zhu Di! Zhending City is not so easy to capture, and Zhu Di is not so easy to be besieged to death, but if the Yan army of Wuji City is gone, Zhu Di will no longer be able to make waves!

His eyebrows were resolute, and he raised his hand to summon the herald, but a figure stood up.

It was Pan Zhong: "General, please quickly return to the defense!" ”

Geng Bingwen frowned: "Why?" ”

"The general doesn't know..."Pan Zhong looked anxious, "That Yan army has a thing, called "grenade", which is invincible in attacking the city, and even the city wall of Xiongxian County has been bombarded!" Although the last general is not talented, he can barely guess that it is gunpowder, but the power is not the same... At the end of the night, the general led the troops to help, but he was also cut off by the grenade, and its power was extremely terrifying! These days, the general should also listen to those defeated soldiers in Xiongxian County talk about this thing, and the last general asks the general to return to help quickly, if it is late, there must be a big incident! ”

"What could happen?" The rest of the generals were not happy when they heard it, "Can something happen to Zhending City?" Even if the Yan King has a new weapon from Raushzi, he will definitely not be able to defeat it! What's more, there are only 10,000 people? ”

It's really a defeated general, how can he be brave, Pan Zhong used to be a person who dared to shout and shout and kill, and after losing for a while, he was simply full of money.

These eyes and these words made Pan Zhong a little crazy, but no matter how much he defended, the rest of the generals didn't want to believe that Zhending would be broken so easily, and now that the Hutuo River is rising, it will take more time for the army to cross the river, and it is better to go to Wuji City twenty miles away than to go to Zhending, which is ten miles away.

Even Geng Bingwen gradually strengthened his mind, but because Pan Zhong was crying blood, he bowed his head and said: "Then General Pan will personally lead 5,000 soldiers and horses back to the city to help... The rest of the people, wait for it, gather the army! ”

He slammed it on the sand table: "This time, the old man wants to kill King Yan..."

But before the cruel words were finished, another figure appeared in front of the tent.

"General, Yan Jun... Attacked! ”
