Chapter 225: Ambush Again

The soldiers and generals also returned the salute with Gongzi, and General Shufan said: "Don't be polite here, everyone is going to war again." I'm going to the front, and I'll leave the safety of my son to everyone. After saying that, he saluted everyone, turned and went into the valley. Xiao Jiu asked everyone: "There was a battle just now, are you tired?" ”

Everyone said: "We just took the opportunity to shoot five arrows, that's so squeamish, Childe hurry up and give an order." As he was talking, the starter came over and said, "Childe, the high platform has been installed, please come to the stage to command." The soldiers and generals urged: "Childe hurry up to the command platform to command, we are waiting for Childe to give the order." Xiao Jiuzhi said that this is for everyone to drive themselves out of here and to a safe place in the back. He also saluted everyone and said, "Thank you for your concern." After saying that, he followed the starter and walked to the command platform not far away. When Xiao Jiu ascended the command platform and looked down, all the follow-up troops had dispersed, standing separately, waiting for Xiao Jiu's command. Seeing this, Xiao Jiu said to the starter: "Assemble and set up a formation." With the wave of the flag, the army began to move in an orderly manner, and when the fan-shaped formation was arranged, Xiao Jiu said: "Turn the formation to set up a rejection frame." With the moving formation, rows of simple rejection racks were assembled and placed in front of the formation, and after Xiao Jiu passed the order into a bow and arrow to guard the formation, Xiao Jiu asked everyone to rest on the spot.

After a while, the messenger ran over and said to Xiao Jiu in a loud voice: "Report, Childe, the enemy has appeared, and it is still five miles away from the front of the valley." After reporting it, he ran into the valley again. After a long while, the messenger came running again and said, "Report, Childe, the enemy has entered the front of the valley. After saying that, this time he did not run into the valley again, but came to the command station and stood. Xiao Jiu said to the starter: "Let everyone rest and prepare for battle." ”

With the wave of the flag, the soldiers were already in position, their bows and arrows ready, and waited for the enemy to show their heads. At this time, even the generals were holding bows and arrows, because everyone knew that the number of enemies this time was much greater than the previous ones.

The general of the opposing side with troops. Standing on the chariot and walking forward, there was no feeling of being stared at at all, and I kept admiring the mountain scenery on both sides of the car. He is full of confidence in this battle against the forbidden army of Wuling State, he has fought with the forbidden army several times, and he can be said to be very familiar with the equipment and tactics of the forbidden army, and he also admires the tenacious fighting spirit and strict discipline of the forbidden army. This time, with an absolute strength of 500,000 against the forbidden army of less than 200,000, he didn't even have to think about the final victory, so at this time he stood on the chariot very calmly and leisurely. It's in this mood. When he heard the sharp sound of arrows, after many years of professional military career, he immediately realized that there was a problem, and just about to call someone to check, countless opponent soldiers with bows and arrows flashed on the slopes on both sides of the mountain road, and with the figure of the soldier flashed, the rain of arrows from both sides of the hillside sprinkled down on his head, and the screams of his own soldiers leading the soldiers were heard in his ears, these familiar sounds. Many of them could be named, and with many years of experience in the army, he looked around and saw that the exit of the valley was right in front of his eyes. He shouted to the soldiers around him: "Rush, rush forward, rush out of the valley, and follow me." With his own shouting. The soldier who was driving rushed forward, and in an instant, he saw that there were hardly any soldiers standing on either side of the avenue. As the chariot moved forward, he had already seen a lot of soldiers in front of him, rushing towards the mouth of the valley with all his might, when he and these soldiers rushed out of the valley, and saw the situation on the opposite side, he couldn't help but slow down, and looked stupidly at the shelves that had been erected around him, flickering with cold light, and even the fool knew at a glance that it was a sharp weapon for dealing with chariots. The soldier driving hurriedly grabbed the chariot, and when he didn't know what to do, he saw the flag waving on the high platform opposite, and the opponent's soldiers behind the shelf began to move.

Xiao Jiu was on the high platform, watching that there was no enemy rushing out, and sighed: "Turn around and close, and the whole team is ready to move forward." With that, he walked off the command platform.

At this time, the generals came over and said: "Although there are many enemies this time, we have many soldiers, and we have not even fired an arrow. This opponent is too weak. ”

Xiao Jiu didn't say anything, just said: "After cleaning the battlefield, hurry up, we have to travel for more than half a day this time, and when we get there, we will arrange to seize the time to rest, recuperate our spirits, and prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle." This is a hard battle, we have 200,000 against the enemy's 300,000, whether we can defeat the enemy depends on tomorrow's battle. Now that you are the front army of the great army, move quickly, and prepare a place for the army to camp. All the generals nodded confidently, indicating that it would be done.

At this time, General Shufan came over, took a closer look at Xiao Jiu's body, and then glanced at the generals around him, and saw that the generals nodded and said to Xiao Jiu: "Childe, this battle was clean and beautiful, and none of them ran away, but I didn't feel like it was enjoyable." ”

Xiao Jiu said: "Our two ambushes are only for two purposes. First, it is aimed at reducing the number of enemy troops and narrowing the ratio of forces between the enemy and us. The second is to exercise the soldiers' ability to adapt to the battlefield, after all, there are still many recruits here. The first two battles are only preparations for tomorrow's decisive battle, and whether or not we can achieve a decisive victory in the final battle depends on tomorrow's decisive battle and our overall strength. ”

General Shufan asked: "That son, why do you want to fight the enemy head-on tomorrow, and don't continue to use your ambush method this time, isn't it more convenient?" ”

Xiao Jiudao: "If you want to become an invincible and never fearless elite soldier, you must completely defeat the opponent on the battlefield in a way that confronts the enemy head-on, so that the soldier's psychology can have the confidence and courage to never be afraid and dare to fight." If the method of ambush is always used, it will not be able to make the soldiers feel fearless and treat the enemy as if they were nothing. This is also time does not allow us, and there are many things to do, but I hope that there will not be a worst-case situation, otherwise we will be busy enough. ”

General Shufan listened to Xiao Jiu's words, thought about it carefully, and nodded in shock: "Childe, if it weren't for the fact that we knew that Gongzi Dao was leading troops for the first time, these words of Gongzi would not be something that ordinary generals could say and understand. No wonder the general has such respect for Childe. As he spoke, he looked at the generals around him and said, "This is also our blessing to hear this, and it is also something we have to think about and learn." "General Shufan is the first famous general under the general, famous for his all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and has a very high prestige in the entire army, and all the generals have great respect for General Shufan. Everyone also remembered what Childe said deeply in their hearts and thought silently.

Xiao Jiu said to everyone: "Everyone should prepare to set off now, and when they arrive at the station, organize all the soldiers to be mainly in small teams, and discuss the performance and shortcomings of their respective strengths and weaknesses in these two wars, so that you can quickly improve the battlefield quality of the soldiers, and you can also find a lot of good suggestions." With that, he walked over to the snowflakes.

All the generals looked at each other in surprise at this time, these strange statements, I don't know where Gongzi found so many methods. At this time, everyone has some understanding of what Gongzi is recommending by the general to lead the troops to the expedition this time.

The army then continued to march towards a predetermined location, and when passing through the battlefield in the valley, when he saw that the soldiers had stacked all the weapons and armor they had harvested on both sides of the avenue and transported them back by a special transport team, Xiao Jiu nodded in approval of this serious and careful approach. When the soldiers saw Childe's expression, they were all overjoyed by Childe's recognition, which has also become a tradition for soldiers in the army since then.

By the time of supper in the afternoon, the front army of the Great Army had arrived at its intended place of station. Seeing that there are already people here, most of the camp has been set up. The general who led the way stepped forward to see that they were all old acquaintances. After inquiry, I learned that this was the leader of the newly built cavalry unit arranged by Gongzi, and the generals waited here to listen to the order of transfer. When the prince of Zhilu Dao personally led the troops this time, he led a team of men and horses, and first built a new garrison camp for the army here. It can allow the army to be stationed and rest as soon as possible. The former army also quickly participated in the construction of the camp. By the time Xiao Jiu and General Shu Fan arrived, the camp had already been completed. After Xiao Jiu and General Shufan inspected the camp and came to the big tent in the army, the little girls had already arranged the big tent. The cavalry generals who followed in all watched in amazement at the changes in the big tent. General Shufan calmly came to the big table, sat on the chair that was arranged, and drank the tea poured by the little girls. Xiao Jiu beckoned the other generals to come over and sit and drink tea, waiting for the follow-up army and generals. At this time, the little girls brought up the prepared supper, and invited the generals to eat. General Shufan was also not polite, he was amazed while eating, and said to Xiao Qi: "Princess, in the future, all my food will follow Gongzi, solve it here, please agree to the princess." Otherwise, if I eat what is here, I will never want to eat anything else, and the princess will look at me and agree. ”

Xiao Qi said: "No problem, we can invite the general to taste our craftsmanship here, we are also very happy, as long as you want to eat, you can come here to eat at any time." ”

Under the influence of the uncle general, everyone quickly finished dinner, and after the little girl finished cleaning up, and poured the tea again, Xiao Jiu said to the cavalry generals: "We will arrange your combat mission first, and you have to rush back to the army, it is dark and the road is far away, so hurry back as soon as possible." As he spoke, he stood up and came to the wall behind the handsome case, the little girl had pulled the curtain on the wall, Xiao Jiu picked up the small stick handed over by the little girl, pointed to the enemy movement icon that had been clearly marked, and now the position between the enemy and the pass asked, "You have already assembled here." Seeing that the generals nodded and said, "I just underestimated the actual combat strength of the enemy and us, which was also my mistake. Now you have only 20,000 horses, divided into two teams, and you will harass the enemy from tonight, with only one purpose, not to let them sleep in peace. As soon as they set out, you use the tactics of a pack of wolves, firing in close formations on either side of him, until they are close to the battlefield as a reserve, waiting behind the enemy. If the battle does not go well, attack with two serial cannons, and wait for the enemy fleeing backwards without a signal, and not one of them is allowed to run away. The rest of the men and horses arrived at the pass tonight, and after contacting the people who were waiting, they decided on their own entry time, took the pass in one fell swoop, and waited for the arrival of the army. As he spoke, he handed the token and the document given by the emperor to the general and said, "Time is pressing, and those who violate the order will be killed." No matter who it is.
