Chapter 73: Obscure

Li Bing entered Shicheng without panic, the sky was already dawning, and the armies were ordering. Li Bing listened to the reports of officers at all levels on the enemy's situation and our situation one by one, and also inquired about some details in detail. Then it was announced that the doctor Meng Fu joined the army for the Northland Army, and officially introduced Meng Fu to the generals.

Due to the active attack of the swordsmen at night, today's tentative attack on the Zhao camp was carried out by the Beidi Army. Joining the army, Meng Fu volunteered and took the initiative to go down to the battalion and participate in offensive operations.

Northland County is the original land of Yiqu. Yiqu is also an ethnic group of the Rong people, scattered in the western part of today's Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo (the northern Shaanxi Plateau in the east belongs to Shangjun, which is the land of the former Wei Dynasty). King Yiqu and Empress Dowager Xuan, the mother of King Qin, maintained a relationship for nearly thirty years; After the sudden death of King Yiqu, the hometown of Yiqu was merged with the land of Zhurong that had been conquered by the Qin kings to form Beidi County, which belonged to the border county of Qin. Although the area of Beidi County is large, there are not many habitable places, the population is also small, the life is very poor, the cultural traditions are also different from those of the Qin people, and there are many traitors and criminals, so it is impossible to send 20,000 prisoners, and it is necessary to recruit displaced people to make up the number of 20,000.

Shangjun and Hedong are the land of the old Wei, and the north is the land of the old Yiqu. Having been a county lieutenant in a border county for a long time, Li Bing has a lot of experience in dealing with people of different races. He knew that when dealing with people of different races, he would say that their native accent came first. Meng Wei is a Qi person, and the difference between Qi Yin and Yiqu is no less than the abyss. But Meng Fu had a talent for language, he only lived in Tao for a few days, he could speak Jinyin, and when he arrived in Hedong, he could speak Jinyin, and he learned Qinyin by dealing with the Qin people. Meng Fu only asked Li Bing to introduce himself to that battalion, and he would handle everything else.

After seeing the official doctor in charge, Meng Fu asked the official doctor to send him into the team sent out to fight as a doctor. The people of the Northland are used to being idle, where to learn what to do in the military formation, and the doctor in charge is very troubled; I heard that the new doctor was sent, one was happy, and the other was worried. Meng Fu whispered to him that he was a lieutenant of the North Land, and he was only here to oversee the army, and he would help out, and he would leave as soon as the matter was over, and all the credit would go to the doctor. This doctor is from Guanzhong, sent to the north as an official, and still retains the uprightness of the relevant Chinese people, hearing Meng Fu say this, he immediately quit, and said: "Since you are a comrade, you have to fight for merit!" ”

Meng Fu reacted immediately, and immediately said: "Wang Yuxingshi, cultivate my spear, and have the same enmity with the son!" May not refuse. ”

narrowed the psychological distance with the doctor, and the doctor confessed his thoughts to him: Yiqu people are too scattered, they are not in a row at all, and they can't fight!

Meng Fu thought for a while and said, "I would like to speak to the official doctor and delay the battle for a while." I should teach it. May you gather in the back mountain. ”

So Meng Fu went to the official doctor, and the doctor told the troops to stand up and line up. When he was young, Meng Fu received the festival charm and came over and said, "Okay! ”

The doctor was a little uneasy, thinking that Meng Fu wanted to imitate his grandson's method of beheading the concubine, and carried out the military order, and whispered: "If you punish more, you will not be satisfied!" ”

Meng Fu said: "Doctor, be relieved! ”

The doctor and the monk led the troops out of the camp and stopped in front of a hill in front of the camp. Meng Fu asked the doctor to be the interpreter, pointed to a big stone a hundred steps away and said to the public: "Wait until you go to the front stone, and return!" ”

The Northland soldiers rushed to the rock, and then scrambled back. After coming back, the doctor scolded: "Left and right, Zhizhi? ”

Everyone looked at each other and aligned left and right. The doctor looked at Meng Fu speechlessly. Because Meng Fu spoke Qin Yin and knew that he was in the same robe as his son, the doctor thought that he was from Guanzhong, and he was very particular about the formation and strict orders.

Meng Fu said: "Wait and watch me! I call 'lie down', you all lie down, I call 'rise', you all rise. But don't be hurt by the arrows! Ambition? The doctor translated. Meng Fu demonstrated himself: "Lie down, when you choose the one who has a rocky stone in front of you, you will lie on the ground with your hands and feet!" "I really lay on the ground and made a demonstration. The funny appearance caused everyone to laugh.

Meng Fu said: "Those who fight with others, but they are noble and light." I call 'lying', and you are all lying. Got it? As he spoke, he walked up to the front of the group of soldiers and shouted, "Get up! With a wave of his hand, he ran forward. Although everyone did not understand the meaning of "rising", the gesture and action were clear, and everyone hesitated to follow along. After running a few steps forward, Meng Fu shouted "Lie down", and took the lead to grab a rock and fell down. The group of northland soldiers, some lying down, some standing, and some are still silly.

Meng Fu stood up and said very seriously: "I call to lie down, and those who can't lie down will die in the hands of the enemy!" I will fight, not lightly. It is a matter of life and death, and those who ignore it are foolish! I'm lying down, I'm all sleeping! He glanced at everyone and shouted, "Lie down! ”

This time, due to the reminder and supervision of Meng Fu, although everyone was reluctant, they still lay down in a mess.

Meng Fu and the doctor corrected everyone's posture and movements, and shouted "up", and everyone got up. Meng Fu added the essentials: "It must be behind the stone or behind the mountain, as in the case of the Supreme One, with both hands and feet on the ground, and not to slow down." Slow is dangerous. The pawn is placed on the side of the body. ”

Meng Fu led everyone to practice three or five times, and then ordered everyone to go back to the camp to rest, reorganize their weapons, and fight in a few hours. As soon as everyone heard about the battle, their mood immediately turned bad, and they returned to the camp in a hurry to straighten out their weapons.

Meng Biao and the doctor went to see the official doctor, and the official doctor didn't know what the effect was, seeing that Meng Biao was very sure, he could only believe him, anyway, there was no good way, and Meng Biao was sent by the Captain of the North, or joined the army, although he was only a doctor, but his position was high! At the request of Meng Fu, he gathered the whole battalion and prepared for battle.

Although it was mid-autumn, the Northland soldiers were still wearing thin clothes. In order not to get in the way, he also tucked his shirt into his belt and wore two hairy legs. There were only a hundred people, and there was no drumming, so they listened to the command of Meng Fu. Meng Fu let these people cling to the halberd in a chaotic manner, and went to Zhao Ying, a mile away.

The camp was built on a hill beam, apparently improvised, with only half a man's height dug into the ridge, and the slopes on either side were not obstructed, but only bumpy and difficult to navigate. Meng Fu divided the 100 people into two formations, and he was in the center of the front formation, telling everyone to just do what they wanted. It's just that everyone else has halberds, and he is the only one who holds a spear.

At the beginning, Meng Wei led everyone to walk slowly, and when they reached about 100 steps away from Zhao Ying, he shouted "stop". Pointing to a large rock thirty or fifty paces ahead, he said, "We'll wait until we get there." But as I commanded, there was no harm. Be careful, be careful! The instructions were clear, and Meng Fu shouted: "Get up!" "Rushed out first. It was very pitiful, and those who dared to rush out with it were only more than 30 people, most of whom were still in place. After the more than 30 people rushed out, Meng Fu heard the sound of the bowstring, and Meng Fu stepped on the rhythm and shouted: "Lie down!" "Fall to the ground! Arrows rained down from the sky, but no one was hurt. After the three arrows were fired, Meng Fu shouted: "Get up! He jumped up and continued to pounce forward. This time, several soldiers who fell to the ground did not stand up, but only fell down, and only about two dozen people could keep up.

The second charge was about to reach the target area, and a second batch of arrows fired. Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Fu shouted "Lie down"! The people who came up had the experience of the previous time, and this time they seemed a lot more relaxed.

After the second batch of arrows was shot at three, Meng Fu gave the order to "get up" again, and finally rushed to the front of the big stone. More than 20 people leaned against the stone to breathe for a moment, and Meng Fu looked around, but Zhao Jun did not come out. Meng Fu waved his hand and ran back. When the Qin army retreated, the Zhao army did not release any more arrows.

Meng Fu returned to the brigade with these twenty or so people, and those who did not follow were a little ashamed.

Meng Fu returned to the camp and ordered: "Those who have not yet come out will run behind the mountain and lie down fifty!" One person was assigned to shout the command, and the others followed.

Meng Fu took a breath, discussed with the official doctor for a while, and said, "Second team, get up!" ”

The second person is still a halberd. The whole process is the same as before, designate the target a hundred steps away, and then charge according to the command, lie down, and charge again! With the demonstration of the previous team, no one in this team flinched, and they all honestly followed Meng Fu's orders. No one was injured and left unharmed.

The third team was spearmen, and the fourth team was shield soldiers, and they all had a drill. In the process, Zhao Jun seemed to realize that they were not serious about fighting, but only came to the game, and the arrows were not as powerful as they were at the beginning.

The last team is the archers. The archers can be said to be the main force of the whole army, and the bows and arrows are generally the Shiwu chiefs, and many of them are from Guanzhong. Meng Fu seemed to think that this was the last formation, and it was the most elite archer charge, and decided to let all the soldiers observe nearby, and the whole battalion of 500 people went out collectively, and the dozens of punished soldiers had completed the corporal punishment and returned to the camp. Everyone stopped at a hundred paces away, and a hundred archers were still lined up in two rows, and under the command of Meng Fu, they charged forward, fell down, and charged again. This time, the Zhao army did not carry out a second wave of blocking shots, and all the archers successfully rushed to the bottom of the boulder.

Meng Fu pointed to the flagpole that was faintly visible above the stone, and asked in a low voice, "Shoot the flag, okay?" ”

A soldier said, "Far away, you can't be hit!" ”

Meng Fu said: "But if you shoot it, you don't have to hit it." The soldiers in Guanzhong conveyed Meng's words to those soldiers who could not understand Meng's words, and everyone nodded knowingly, drew an arrow from everywhere, and put it on the bow. Meng Fu raised his hand and pressed it down suddenly. Everyone stood up, pointed their bows at the sky, and shot at the top of the banner. The arrow was fired, and everyone immediately crouched down and hidden.

The whistling arrows broke through the air, turned around at the end, and landed on the Zhao soldiers, letting out bursts of exclamations and wails! Meng Fu gave everyone a thumbs up in approval, and then looked out through the crack in the stone.

The temporary barracks of the Zhao army were not high, and the activities of the Zhao army were faintly visible. Meng Fu found that after a period of chaos in the Zhao military camp, there were no soldiers attacking, and it seemed that he was in a hurry to treat the wounded, so he said to everyone: "Shoot again!" ”
