Chapter 165: Meeting on a Narrow Road! Huo Guanglai made a move to dig back
Cannons made of explosives packets, this kind of thing, often appear in anti-Japanese war film and television dramas.
That's right!
It's just a cannon without conscience!
Generally, gasoline barrels are used as cannon barrels, buried in the ground, and steel wires are tied to the outside of the barrels to prevent explosions. Its maximum range is even 200 meters away.
People who don't know about this kind of cannon will watch it as a divine drama.
However, there is such a record in history.
The main reason for this was that the conditions at that time were too difficult and there were no good weapons.
The cannon that Huo Guang is now mentioning with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che is inspired by this. It's just a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can't understand what a cannon is!
Just looked at Huo Guang and asked with some curiosity: "Cannon?" What is a cannon? ”
"Eh" Huo Guang was suddenly embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he explained: "Your Majesty, what I said just now, No, is a cannon battle that can explode and has a loud sound, and this is made of paper. ”
Hearing Huo Guang's explanation, Emperor Wu of Han nodded and said, "Oh, what do you mean, that is, this cannon battle is a cannon?" ”
A cannon is a cannon?
Huo Guang was suddenly embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, a cannon battle is a cannon battle, a cannon is a cannon battle!" How so? Just like this artillery battle, in the overall composition of the cannon, it is only the ammunition in it. ”
"Your Majesty, do you know the bow and arrow?"
"An arrow is equivalent to a cannon, and a bow is a cannon, and when the two are combined, they are cannons!"
After listening to Huo Guang's explanation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che showed a suddenly realized expression and said: "It turns out that this is a cannon, but this sounds too ugly, is there any nice name?" ”
A nice name?
Isn't it just called a conscienceless cannon!
It's not worse to hear!
After Huo Guang thought about it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said, "Your Majesty, the cannon I am talking about does have a loud and beautiful name. ”
When Emperor Wu of Han heard this, he immediately asked: "Come and listen, don't sell it!" ”
Seeing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty urging, Huo Guang said: "Your Majesty, its beautiful name is called Flying Thunder!" ”
Emperor Wu of Han frowned and asked, "Feilei, what is the explanation for this name?" ”
Huo Guang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Flying Thunder Cannon is just like its name, flying towards the sky and landing thunder, so it is named Flying Thunder." ”
"Oh!"
Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Since your so-called Flying Thunder Cannon is so powerful in your mouth, then I want to see if it is really so powerful." ”
"Come on, spread my word, and let the blacksmith shops all over the country start producing this flying thunder cannon!"
"Eh, what about people?"
Emperor Wu of Han shouted for a long time, but no one came in.
Huo Guang was also helpless, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, this is in the barracks, not in the palace, and there are few people who know your identity, who will pass on your message?" ”
Emperor Wu of Han immediately changed his face and glared at Huo Guang.
But then think about it!
I think what Huo Guang said is right, after all, this is a military camp, not a palace. In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came this time, and few people knew his identity, so he could only give up.
Then.
The scout suddenly came to report: "Boss, on the general's side, the old general Cheng Buzhi has already attacked with 8,000 soldiers and horses!" ”
Cheng Buzhi attacked with 8,000 soldiers and horses?
Another eight thousand!
This must not make Huo Guang frown tightly, compared to Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi is more difficult to deal with the old general.
The title of undefeated general is not in vain.
One.
He was strict in his administration of the army, and the ranks under his management were highly disciplined.
Second.
Cheng is not cautious, if it is those simple traps, it is difficult to induce the other party to be fooled.
Come to think of it.
Huo Guang didn't plan to use the routine of trapping Li Guang to deal with Cheng Buzhi, but gave him a trick.
"Pass my order, all the teams assemble, withdraw from the existing positions, and let the old general come in!" Huo Guang said lightly.
After hearing this.
Emperor Wu of Han immediately frowned and said, "Huo Guang, what are you doing here?" ”
Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was familiar with the art of war, it was obvious that he had never seen this kind of combat before.
Assemble the people.
Already have a position to give it away?
Isn't this what only those who surrender do?
Seeing that Emperor Wu of Han was stunned with a little anger, Huo Guang understood that Emperor Wu of Han had misunderstood, so he immediately defended: "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand, this is Weichen's plan!" ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately asked: "Strategy, what kind of strategy, there is this strategy in the art of war book?" ”
Huo Guang immediately smiled and said: "The things in the art of war books are all dead, and people are alive, so the dead things must be used alive." ”
"Your Majesty!"
"There are two schemes for the minister, one is to empty the city, and the other is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle."
Hearing Huo Guang's words, Emperor Wu of Han was still puzzled and asked, "What is this, the empty city plan?" How come I haven't heard of this! ”
If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had heard of it, there would be a ghost.
But it doesn't matter if Emperor Wu of Han hasn't heard of it, as long as he can understand it.
After thinking for a moment, Huo Guang explained: "The empty city plan means that I will vacate the position, open the door wide, and not fortify the enemy. ”
"This trick works wonders for people who are suspicious and cautious by nature."
"When they see that the door is wide open and unguarded, they will definitely think that there is fraud and dare not come in."
"And General Cheng is such a person."
After listening to Huo Guang's explanation, Emperor Wu of Han immediately frowned tightly, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Understood, use the other party's cautious character to make the other party doubt himself." ”
"But what does this mean?"
"The other party is not in the trap, you still have to gather troops to fight hard with General Cheng?"
Recklessly?
That's not Huo Guang's style.
The so-called wounding the enemy by 1,000 and self-damage by 800 is something that Huo Guang doesn't want to do.
Seeing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was suspicious, Huo Guang said: "Your Majesty, when the minister gathers an army, he naturally wants to attack. ”
"You can't take the initiative to be beaten, can you?"
"Of course."
"I'm going to attack, not the prepared Cheng Buzhi general."
"It's the more powerful legion behind him, that is, the troops led by my uncle Wei Qing."
Cheng Buzhi led the army, only 8,000 people.
According to the rule of ten to one.
As long as Huo Guang sent eight hundred people, he could swap them with the other party.
But here's the thing.
Swapping is not such a simple thing, otherwise it would be a fart exercise, and it would be swapped directly without going to the battlefield.
For this reason, Huo Guang's rules for the exercise were:
The exchange must be within five steps of the soldiers of the two armies, and beyond five steps, it cannot be exchanged.
Like Flying General Li Guang?
The 8,000 elite soldiers he led were actually swapped out after being tricked into a trap by Huo Guang.
Otherwise!
It's not so easy to win.
And Huo Guang's words also deeply shocked Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, he glanced at Huo Guang deeply, and secretly said in his heart that this son is powerful.
Its ability in military strategy.
By no means no less than his hussar general Huo Quai.
Come to think of it.
Emperor Wu of Han immediately looked at Huo Guang and asked, "I didn't see how much you loved to read before, why did I find out that your strategy is acceptable today." Why, when did you secretly read the art of war book? ”
The Art of War book?
Huo Guang frowned, and said: "I've read some, such as the "Sun Wubing Book" that my brother left me last time, eh, but it's a pity that I want to sleep every time I look at it, so I haven't been able to finish it today." ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, some people are born to fight.
I haven't even read the art of war book, the strategy is so strong!
It's better than those who die reading, I don't know how much better.
Then.
One man went into the tent and reported: "Report! ”
"Commander, the troops have withdrawn from their original combat locations in accordance with your orders."
"At present, there are more than 4,500 soldiers, who have been assembled and are waiting for your orders."
More than 4,500 fighters.
Originally, there were 5,000 soldiers and horses, but there were 500 fewer at once, all of which were used against Li Guang, most of them were exchanged, and very few troops were consumed.
Hear the herald's report.
Huo Guang immediately nodded and said, "Okay, pass on my order, the troops will set off from the south, go around the old general's eight thousand elite soldiers, and head on to kill the place where the great general is!" ”
"No!"
Immediately.
The herald went to give the battle order according to Huo Guang's words.
At this time, Huo Guang looked at Emperor Wu of Han and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to prepare to experience the feeling of being a royal driver?" ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che immediately said: "Haha, interesting, then I will experience it." ”
After a brief exchange between the two, they left the makeshift camp.
The troops also began to quietly move to the south, and the 8,000 elite soldiers who did not know the old general began to kill in the direction of the barracks.
Emperor Wu of Han rode on a horse.
Looking at the more than 4,500 cavalry on the march, a feeling of passion unnaturally arose in my heart.
When I was young.
How much Liu Che once wanted to personally lead the Han soldiers and cut off the heads of the Huns.
Pity.
He was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and even if he wanted to, he was not allowed by the people above.
The former Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
There is Empress Dowager Dou on it, and when she was young, she didn't have any rights except playing.
The tiger talisman is no longer in his own hands.
Still want to lead troops?
Dream!
And after he grasped the real power, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was no longer the young man in fresh clothes and angry horses.
Something that gallops on the battlefield.
He handed it over to Wei Qing, and his wish when he was young was pinned on the hussar general Huo Quai.
Rao didn't expect it.
One day, as I do today, I can ride on a horse and fulfill a dream that I never tried when I was a teenager.
It's just that
It's not like a teenager after all!
Since the 4,500 soldiers and horses were all cavalry, the troops moved very quickly, and even if they detoured from the south, they could quickly reach the place where the Wei Qing camp was stationed.
Since the sand table can not be taken away.
So Huo Guang rode on a horse, could only hold a paper map in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, after investigation, the minister found that his uncle's defense in the west was weak, so the minister decided to attack from here." ”
When Emperor Wu of Han heard this, he immediately said, "Yes." ”
After waiting for the permission of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang gave the order, and 4,500 elite soldiers began to attack the west of the weakest defense of the Weiqing Legion.
Since it was a surprise attack.
Therefore, the west was quickly breached, and for a while, the commander camp of the Weiqing Army had a great possibility of being conquered.
It's just a pity.
With Wei Qing transferring the troops back.
The attack slowed down.
Wei Qing still has 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands, even if Huo Guang, who is a blue army, has a huge advantage, but the defects in the army are still difficult to make up.
To put it simply.
Twenty-nine thousand cavalry archers, each shooting an arrow, can rain arrows in the sky.
What a terrible thing to do.
It's weird though.
On the side of the Weiqing Army, for Huo Guang's surprise attack, it was only in a defensive state, and did not choose to counterattack after stabilizing the situation.
Then.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had already dismounted from the war horse, sat on the stone next to Huo Guang and asked, "Huo Guang, guess, why didn't your uncle Wei Qing choose to counterattack at this time, but to defend steadily?" ”
Why?
Why is this, a fool can also see that General Wei Qing is waiting for the eight thousand elite soldiers who Cheng Buzhi to rush back.
When the time comes, Huo Guang will be attacked on both sides.
How can a cavalryman, who actually has only 4,500 troops, deal with a flanking attack of 29,000 and 8,000 troops!
But Huo Guang is a smart man.
Naturally, he would not say this situation clearly, but asked Emperor Wu of Han with a suspicious face: "Yes, Your Majesty, why didn't my uncle attack yet, what is this struggling with?" ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che shook his head helplessly at this time, and said, "Eh, you are smart, why do you think you are so stupid!" ”
"Wei Qing, of course, is waiting for General Cheng's eight thousand elite soldiers to turn back."
"You've been attacking for so long, Cheng Buzhi naturally knows that you sang him that kind of city plan, and he understands that he was tricked. I guess I'm on the way back now, and I'm going to attack you with your uncle! ”
"You still don't want to figure out a way?"
To be a man, sometimes you have to pretend to be stupid, especially in the face of a hero like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
In the presence of the Lord.
Don't show how smart you are, especially the kind of person who likes to guess His Majesty's thoughts.
This kind of "smart people" generally do not end well.
For example, in the next three hundred years, the extremely smart Yang Xiu didn't like to show off himself, and was finally clicked by Cao Cao!
Thereupon.
After Huo Guang heard Emperor Wu of Han's words, he immediately put on a sudden realization and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of this?" ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Come on, pass on my order, the army will march after the front army changes, and the rear march will become the front army, turn around and go back, and give the old general a general to draw a car!"
"The general pumped the car?" When Emperor Wu of Han heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said, "Didn't you say that General Cheng's subordinates are strictly disciplined, so it's not easy to fight directly?" ”
The general pumped the car like that!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still understands it, after all, something like chess has appeared, how could Liu Che not understand this.
As for Emperor Wu of Han's doubts, Huo Guang smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, General Cheng's troops have indeed always been known for their strict discipline. ”
"Just."
"At the moment, he is in a hurry to pull back, in this case, no matter how disciplined he is, he will be slack!"
"At this time, let's turn around and give each other a hand back!"
"I believe that General Cheng will be very confused!"
In fact, Huo Guang wanted to talk about the horse gun, but unfortunately, at this time, there was no gun This is a weapon.
Some.
Just the predecessor of the gun, the spear!
But this doesn't get in the way, anyway, returning the horse pistol and returning the hand are the same meaning, as long as Emperor Wu of Han understands it.
I really don't understand.
Huo Guang will explain it again.
The troops turned around and withdrew, and the 8,000 cavalry, who did not know Cheng, rushed towards this side, and the two armies moved in opposite directions, and the distance was shortened extremely quickly.
Soon.
The Blue Army, which had 4,500 cavalry, and the 8,000 cavalry, who did not know Cheng, met in a narrow way and faced each other.
