Chapter 430 Train the Soldiers with Blood

The next day, the troops were deployed. Hu Wei thought that he would only have one day to prepare, and when he set off, there should be some unsatisfactory problems, but the result made him satisfied. Although it is true that there are some xiǎo problems, they are all within the acceptable range.

This time, the route of the march was clear, it was Daejeon Castle. This goal, Hu Wei has been announced to all the military and civilians on the platform. The announcement of the target before the troops set out for the battle was something that had never happened to the countries of the Tianfeng Continent. Therefore, Hu Wei's expedition is particularly noteworthy.

The 200,000 troops, divided into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, and the forward 20,000 people, all of which were composed of militiamen, and Hu Wei was in the forward battalion at this time. The Chinese army was led by Chen Dali.

"Brother, our team is so magnificent" rode the xiǎo horse of the red sè slightly, and caught up with Hu Wei. The first time she went out with the army, she seemed very excited.

Hu Wei this time, on the surface, all recruited new soldiers, but this does not mean that Hu Wei is coming. This time, he mobilized the arsenal that had just produced twenty mén fire dragon kings and two hundred mén crossbows, as well as various thunderbolts, siege vehicles, and so on. Mechanization can be more than any time before. The genius of the machine is Weiwei, and he is the supreme commander of this mechanized army.

Because this time there were quite a few mechanized combat vehicles in the army, and the troops did not go fast. And Hu Wei didn't mean to let the troops go fast, he just walked dozens of miles a day. The 200,000 troops, like snails on the road, moved forward little by little.

Hu Wei hadn't spoken yet, and Lu Shiba, who was on the side, leaned on the old man and said, "This is even ordinary, my old man has seen something more spectacular." Lu 18 and more than 100 other Jianghu people also joined the march. These people had just returned from the Hundred Empire, and they had been squatting for several months, and finally rescued the Red Lady. It is said that the whole process of saving people is quite thrilling, and it is enough to be written as a book of xiǎo said.

The slightly cute Chong Lu Eighteen Yao pouted: "You just blow it, anyway, what are you blowing, Weiwei doesn't believe you, you have deceived people many times"

"Hahaha......" Xuan Ri was amused by the slight words. The atmosphere that had been a little tense because of the first time in the battle was suddenly eased.

Lu Shibagan laughed a few times, scratched his head, and didn't dare to provoke Weiwei again. Don't look at him at the age of seventy or eighty, he is still born with a childlike heart. Before, he saw Weiwei's age, so he went to tease her, but he was rectified by Weiwei with some xiǎo organs a few times, which made him learn a lot to be obedient.

Hu Wei also laughed a few times, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Weiwei, you're naughty again, don't be rude to the elderly."

Weiwei is now Hu Wei's godsister, and she is managed by Hu Wei as an elder brother, and there is no way. Bitter xiǎo face, spit out xiǎo tongue, obediently replied: "Oh, I know slightly"

Na Yue beckoned to Weiwei and said with a smile: "Come, Weiwei, didn't you say that my sister's hairstyle is good-looking, go to the car with my sister, and I'll teach you how to nòng." ”

On Weiwei's face, he suddenly smiled again, and nodded happily: "Well, it's better to Sister Nayue, they all bully Weiwei"

Seeing that Weiwei got into the carriage with Na Yue, Hu Wei smiled, turned his head and asked Lu Shibadao: "Don't be old, what I asked you to check before, how did you find out." This time, Hu Wei did not use the intelligence team of the special regiment, but gave the task of intelligence collection to the Jianghu people led by Lu Shiba.

Don't look at Lu Eighteen, these more than 100 people, there are really jīming dog thieves in this. They have been on the rivers and lakes all their lives, and they all have a few brushes. With just a few people, you can accomplish something that hundreds of people can do. It not only saves food but also saves worry, but in terms of management, it is not very good. At present, Hu Wei can let them do some things, and they are all asking for help, and it is not easy to use orders on them.

Lu Shibai put away his playfulness and replied: "It's almost done, all the way to Datian City, there are bandits on seventy-eight hills, most of them are seven or eight thousand people, and the few are just a dozen people. The total number is about 50,000 to 80,000."

"Fifty to eighty thousand?" Hu Wei lowered his head and calculated, such a number should only be about the same.

Xuan Ri hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Marshal, do you really plan to go all the way to the bandits?"

"Hmm" Hu Wei nodded and said: "After all, the militia troops have not experienced war, so use these bandits and let them practice their hands." ”,

The abilities of several people in Xuanri are very important, and they have taught good soldiers, but good soldiers still have to go through the test of blood and fire before they can truly grow. Some people will die, and some people will become strong because of the death of others. It sounds cruel, but that's the reality. Survival of the fittest, weak ròu strong food, this is the law of nature, but also the rule of the entire human society.

Xuan Ri worried: "But in this case, it will slow down our march." We have an army of 200,000, and this daily food expenditure is a non-Xiǎo expense, which is contrary to the art of war. ”

Hu Wei smiled: "The art of war is dead, but people are alive." Yes, such an approach will indeed increase military spending a lot, but there are also many benefits. First, we have done something for the stability of the local area, and second, the troops have also increased their experience in actual combat. ”

Lu Shibai said on the side: "In the third place, not only will we not lose money, but we can also make a profit." There is another thing just now, I didn't have time to say in a hurry, some of these bandits are old bandits, and they have robbed a lot of money, which can just provide us with military expenses. In our jargon, we call it black eating black. ”

Hu Wei glared at Lu Shibai and said, "You... Won't you hide it and not say it, I still want to make some money for the house, and now it's all going to make you out. ”

"Ahh It turned out that Hu Wei had already thought of everything, and he was worried in vain. But then again, with my own cleverness, I didn't think that fighting bandits is different from fighting a war, and all property can be confiscated.

Thinking that she had missed this, Xuan Ri couldn't help blushing a little, and as soon as her head turned, she immediately thought of something and said, "If that's the case, then we must make a careful plan to keep our fight against the bandits a secret." Otherwise, those bandits should know that if you take 200,000 troops to train their troops, they will be robbed of money, and they will not run away early. ”

Hu Wei pretended to sigh and said: "I said a long time ago that NV people are ruthless, much more ruthless than men. Our beautiful Xuanri Xiǎo sister, this is to wipe out all the bandits. ”

Fuchen didn't follow the help of Xuan Ri and said unevenly: "Xuan Ri is not ruthless, she is helping you, you also said that people will not give you food for a while." Hmph"

The wind and autumn are whistling, and the autumn mood is stronger. Hu Wei's army of 200,000 people walked with extraordinary ease. I don't know, I thought they were out for an outing.

Hu Wei looked at the militia around him, after more than ten days of marching and two Xiǎo-scale bandits, they had gradually taken on the appearance of soldiers.

Bandits have a lot of resources, but there are not many that can be used, Hu Wei really doesn't have any làng fees at all, and almost worships one bandit into two bandits to use.

Although Lu Shibai had already checked the information of the bandits very clearly, Hu Wei did not release the information to the generals of the militia when he was using the troops. Hu Wei asked them to discuss the same from reconnaissance, to making battle plans, to attacking, and even cleaning up the battlefield. Some links, almost to the point of harshness.

From time to time, there was the sound of killing in the distance, and Hu Wei knew that another battle against bandits had begun. This was the third battle of the troops, and the situation was slightly different from the previous two battles. The first two bandits were only medium-sized bandit dens of seven or eight hundred people, but this time, the number of bandits reached five thousand.

5,000 people is the number of enemy troops found by the militia reconnaissance force, in fact, from Lu 18, the information obtained by Hu Wei is that the other side has at least about 8,000 people. This time, the reconnaissance team made a serious mistake, but Hu Wei did not correct this. Because they will come to the real battlefield, there will be no one to mention them on the side. All difficulties must be solved by themselves.

5,000 enemies, Hu Wei drew 5,000 soldiers according to the rules. The ratio of one to one is the tone set by Hu Wei for the entire anti-bandit war. Bandits are the head snakes here, and they are extremely familiar with every grass and tree here, and they have the advantage of people. If there are fewer troops, the troops will suffer losses, and if they send too many troops, they will not be able to achieve the goal of training. One to one is the best.

In fact, this time he sent troops, Hu Wei had another purpose in his heart, he didn't sue anyone, even the closest red leaves, he didn't know.

This time, Hu Wei brought 200,000 people out, but in fact he had no intention of bringing 200,000 people back. This time, he used the method of training the Immortal Bird Special Combat Team back then, and screened this batch of soldiers in an extremely crippled way. 200,000 to three-quarters, or four-fifths, Hu Wei calculated in his heart that he would eventually bring 30,000 to 50,000 people back to Làng Tian, while the others were eliminated. ,

On the battlefield, elimination means death, and there is no possibility of a second one. Ci is not in charge of the army, this is a truth that every general should understand. Don't blame Hu for being ruthless, in fact, he didn't deliberately let anyone die in battle, and who didn't make it back alive, it was completely his bad life, and he didn't learn art. Since you are here to be a soldier, you should think of dying in battle.

The reality is like this, and there is not much difference between this and those merchants who sell gutter oil, four deer nǎi, and Sudan red. Do you think they just like to add poisons to their food, and they don't want to, but if they don't, they won't make money. The general environment is like this, they can only cover their conscience and do those things that have no conscience.

If he had made an excuse for Hu Wei, he didn't do it. The special regiment lost 40,000 soldiers at once, and it had to be replenished as much as possible. And then where do the soldiers come from? Just recruiting will not work, you still have to practice. Actual combat is the best way to train soldiers, and he is fast, effective and cannot be faked. Every one who can crawl back from the pile of dead is a good soldier.

The 5,000 attacking troops have already fought the bandits, and there are still 15,000 people by Hu Wei's side. After two battles, they no longer have the panic they had at the beginning, and the soldiers who have seen blood are completely different from the soldiers who have not seen blood.

Fifteen thousand people are all watching the movement of the battlefield. Many soldiers' faces were filled with longing for battle. They have gone from being scared to wanting to fight. It seems that after today's battle, this group of people can be transferred to the back, and another group of recruits can come up and repeat what they have done before.

Hu Wei quietly watched the movement on the mountain and did not give any orders. The officers of the militia regiment have already drawn up a detailed battle plan for this offensive, and now they should watch their performance.

As the smell of blood wafted, the blood axe of the body began to move again. Hu Wei didn't know, calling it a blood axe now, or it wasn't so accurate. Because three days ago, the Blood Axe fused the saber. The saber has become a golden axe handle, a part of the blood axe.

And the blood axe, which is fused with the saber, now seems to be a little uncontrollable, every time it smells of blood, it will move stupidly, and it wants to jump out by itself, Hu Wei has to work very hard to suppress it.

"Young marshal, the situation doesn't seem to be good, this is the third strong attack, and I haven't been able to attack it" Xuan Ri came to Hu Wei's side with a solemn face.

Hu Wei asked expressionlessly, "How much did you lose?"

Xuan Ri sighed: "From the beginning to the present, more than 500 people have been lost in battle. There seems to be an error in the intelligence, and the total strength of the other side seems to be more than 5,000 people. ”

Lu Eighteen's intelligence only told him that he was worried, and Xuan Ri did not know the total number of people on the other side. She got the message that it was 5,000 people from the militia intelligence department.

Hu Wei did not make any comment on this, and said lightly: "If the loss reaches 1,000, the troops will be withdrawn."

The first echelon, having suffered more than a thousand casualties, stopped the offensive. This was the first defeat since the suppression of bandits, and the withdrawn troops were a little depressed, and Hu Wei did not react much to this, which he had already expected. He gave only one order to prevent the bandits from breaking through, and did not speak again.

The next day, the second echelon of five thousand people attacked. As before, Hu Wei just sat and watched, and did not open his mouth to give any instructions.

For four days, the vanguard lost 4,000 men, but still failed to take the hill. A thick fog of defeat, hanging over the barracks.

"Young marshal, isn't this a bit too much. "This time, even Lu Shiba, who is used to seeing life and death, is a little unbearable.

The death of 4,000 soldiers made Hu Wei feel uncomfortable. But thinking that if he studied more today, he would have more hope of survival and a certain chance of winning in the future, so he swallowed the blood back into his stomach.

This is also the most controversial place in the evaluation of Hu Wei by historians many years later. Some people believe that Hu Wei loves the people like a son. Another part of the people think that Hu Wei is a hero's ambition and an iron heart.

Both sides of the argument can find corresponding arguments to support, but neither of them can completely refute the other party's arguments. Whether Hu Wei loves the people like a son, or is hard-hearted, just like jī gives birth to an egg, or an egg gives birth to jī, is always in debate, and there will never be an answer.

But there is one thing that everyone cannot deny, only such worries can become a great success. is just a simple love for the people like a son, or a heart of stone, then there will be no new world in the future. ,

"Young Marshal, we need your advice" On the evening of the fourth day, the senior generals of the militia battalion could no longer hold back and ran to Hu Wei's military tent. After four days of continuous attacks, they were almost devastated.

"Mention?" Hu Wei looked at the group of officers in front of him, unlike Zhu Daneng and Hou San, the group of officers in front of him all have a good military school background, many of them have studied in military schools or studied under famous generals before joining the army, and some of them are even Hu You's classmates at the Colombian Military Academy, and their quality is quite high.

Hu Youzai glanced around and said, "What do you think is the problem of not being able to take down the enemy?"

"I think the problem lies with the Intelligence Department, and it is the Intelligence Department that has made a mistake of repetition, otherwise we should have been able to match 8,000 men instead of just 5,000," replied a major officer.

Another officer at the same level said: "The Ministry of Intelligence has made mistakes, but you can't attribute all the mistakes to the Ministry of Intelligence." Even in the first two days, due to intelligence problems, there was an improper ratio of troops, and our number was less than that of the enemy, but in the next two days, it was a full strength of 5,000 troops, and counting the enemy's battle losses, this was almost the same as the enemy's number of troops. ”

"I think it's a weapons problem......

"I think it's a topography problem......"

After all, he is a young general, and when he is smooth, there may not be any problems. Now in adversity, one by one can't bear it. They all feel that they are not at fault, and they all feel that they are wrong with others.

Hu Wei listened quietly to their quarrel and didn't say a word. This problem of command was also something he had expected a long time ago. Young troops, there will always be problems of this and that. It's inevitable. And what he has to do now is to bring out their problems as much as possible within the scope of control, so that they can know where the problems are, so as to find a way to solve them.

The generals quarreled for a while, only to find that Hu Wei didn't say a word, and they all closed their mouths one by one, looking at Hu Wei with blank eyes, waiting to be scolded.

Hu Wei did not scold them, but sighed and said: "Your problem is not in intelligence, nor in command, but in experience. They all went back to think about what they would do if they were in each other's shoes. Remember, for every decision you make, there are soldiers to shed their blood and die for it."

After listening to Hu Wei's words, some of them didn't seem to quite understand, and some of them already had an understanding......
