Chapter Forty-Nine, The Hero of the Feather Forest
Late at night.
"Sun Wentai bravely crowned the three armies today, and broke the enemy army, which should be remembered as a great achievement."
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Huangfu Song took the lead in praising Sun Jian by name, and then said: "Meng De made a decision in the face of the enemy and led the army to help in time, which is also a great achievement. ”
"Yuan Shao has a degree of coordination, and he also takes credit."
……
On the scene of meritorious deeds, Liu Bei and Guo Jia looked like outsiders.
Fortunately, Huang Fu Song finally added another sentence.
"Of course, all the kings have their own duties, and they also have merit."
This is a scene, but Liu Bei accepted it calmly, after all, their whole army had been basking in the sun for a day, and there was no merit and hard work.
Huangfu Song suddenly looked at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Can Fengxiao come with me tomorrow, just to see the ability of the high-level disciples under the Decao sect to arrange troops." ”
It's an invitation, but it's also an affirmation of ability.
Today is a battle between the forward forces of both sides, and tomorrow will be the decisive moment.
Guo Jia secretly complained about his teacher's connections, and said with a smile on his face: "I really want it, I don't dare to ask for it." ”
——
"I don't believe that Sun Jian is so powerful, can his sword skills be comparable to my second brother?"
Zhang Fei is not difficult to lie down all day today, he has been complaining with excess energy, and he is a little unconvinced between his words.
Guan Yu changed his pride in the past, shook his head and said: "The third brother can't talk nonsense, Sun Wentai is indeed a rare battlefield general, and the Jiangdong Army under his command is even better. ”
The ferocity of a military general is not only reflected in his martial arts, but also related to his fighting style and the combat power of his soldiers and horses.
The reason why Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tigers is because he not only bravely crowned the three armies, but the army under his command is also famous for its ability to fight.
At the beginning of the rebellion in Xiliang, he became famous in the first battle, and the Xiliang army, which was known for its fierceness, was also defeated by him.
Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he also respects this kind of hero, and has nothing to do with martial arts, which is an affirmation of this person.
At this time, Guo Jia said: "My lord, tomorrow I will live in the Chinese army with General Huangfu, so I ...... There is a word below. ”
"Feng Xiao, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Regardless of whether Zhang Liang adopts the strategy of breaking through the back road, please be cautious, if this battle is defeated by our army, the previous efforts will be wasted."
If you are defeated by your opponent with the same tactics, it is really ridiculous and generous.
"Fengxiao just rest assured." Liu Bei accepted this exhortation calmly, what he thought in his heart was that Feng Xiao didn't know that he had been fighting horses all his life in his previous life, and the special reminder was also out of kindness.
Zhang Fei also patted his chest and promised: "The military advisor just rest assured, with me Zhang Fei here, if Zhang Liang dares to come, he will be called back." ”
Nothing was said all night.
——
The next day, when the morning sun rose, the two sides entered their respective battlefields, and the smoke of war once again enveloped the land.
Guo Jia followed Huangfu Song to the Chinese army and stepped on the Dianjiang platform, which was several feet high.
As the saying goes, from this height, you can see the battlefield situation to the greatest extent.
Of course, such a height is not enough to get a full glimpse of the formation of the enemy and us, and in the end, it is necessary to rely on the scouts to continuously transmit information, and then analyze the enemy's troops and defenses.
This is also the way to fight, through their own insight and sense of smell, and fight with the enemy's main general.
Therefore, there is a saying that "chess is like a battle, and the chessboard is like a battlefield".
Platooning is actually similar to playing chess, analyzing all kinds of information and deducing the opponent's next move.
If there is not much difference in the combat strength of the two armies, it will be a special test of the ability of the commander-in-chief to coordinate the overall situation.
Huangfu Song said with a smile: "Feng Xiao thinks, what kind of formation should our army use against the enemy today?" ”
Guo Jia pondered for a moment, and then blurted out.
"Wild geese."
There has never been an invincible formation in this world, and each formation has its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of the goose marching array is that it can give full play to the advantages of the bow and arrow, and the flaws are also obvious, once the middle lane is broken, the whole army is in danger.
Therefore, this formation requires a strong infantry army to defend the middle.
The Great Han Yulin Army is dominated by the heavy armored infantry army, and in addition, the arrows of the Han army are inherited from the pre-Qin Dynasty, and they are also invincible.
The most significant example is that hundreds of years ago, Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guangzhi, once led the 5,000-foot army of the Han Dynasty deep into the desert, fighting with ten times the enemy, and killing countless enemies.
Although the final defeat was defeated, it also showed the strength of the Han infantry army.
Huangfu Song praised: "It is worthy of being taught by moral exercise, Feng Xiao really knows very well the advantages of our army." ”
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "The general is overrated, where the benefits of the Han army are, many people must know." ”
"You're humble." Huangfu Song smiled, and then turned his head to look at the herald on the side.
"Command the three armies, and set up a wild goose formation."
"Whoa!"
The flag waved, and the orderly phalanx began to move slowly, like a war beast with its fangs spread.
The smoke and dust were billowing and the pace was neat and powerful, accompanied by a consistent slogan, and in a short time, a distinct formation was formed.
Guo Jia looked at it, and couldn't help but be shocked by this rigorous execution, and sighed: "Although Jia has heard about Wei and Huo since he was a child, what he saw with his own eyes today was also taken by the power of my Han army. ”
It's a pity that the hundred-year chaotic war has exhausted the Han heritage.
Sima stole the country, but brought shame to China.
The Yulin Army is known for its strict military discipline, so what kind of style is the border pass iron cavalry that is famous for its fierceness?
Guo Jia is looking forward to it.
Huangfu Song didn't know what he was thinking later, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Today's Yulin Army is still slightly inferior to back then. ”
Guo Jia knew that he was referring to the Han Dynasty at its peak, and during the Guangwu period, the Yulin Army at that time was selected from the elite of the border passes, known as the first elite of the Han Dynasty.
He didn't talk, and the loneliness of the empire didn't allow him to point fingers at Confucian scholars.
Huangfu Song did not continue this topic, if it reached the ears of those who cared, the matter could be big or small.
At this time, Guo Jia sensed a shock under his feet, but it was the high platform he was on that was pushed by the Han soldiers below.
They began to march, and the Wild Goose Formation was originally a formation that was both offensive and defensive, but it required extremely high quality of soldiers in the army under their command.
The three armies moved together, but the overall phalanx was still tight, and the military quality of the Yulin Army was undoubtedly displayed.
In the face of such a powerful army, the Yellow Turban Army's chances of victory are really slim.
At the same time, Sun Jian and Yuan Shao, who were at the forefront, had already led their troops and horses to fight against the Yellow Turban Advance Army.
The battle reports from the front kept coming from his ears, and as expected, Yuan Shao was covered by Sun Jian's light as always.
If it is about the talent of the two as the masters, maybe Yuan Shao will be better, because Sun Jian is too rigid, and it is easy to break if he is too rigid.
Charging into battle is the general's business, and Sun Jian will die young, largely because he has not completed the transformation from a general to a human master.
Even his son Sun Ce was influenced by this style of conduct.
However, as a general, Sun Jian did leave Yuan Shao far behind.
It was a ride in the dust, until the gap behind it could not be seen.
"Summons Sun Jian and asks him to slow down his advance."
