Dugu Xian spoke more cautiously in front of the Dragon King, and thought for a long time before saying: "I can't immediately give a conclusion, the history of the battle between the Central Plains and the North Court is calculated in thousands of years, both sides have experienced many dynastic changes, during which there are mutual victories and defeats, it is very difficult to predict the outcome of a war, I don't know what the basis of that old woman is, but I can't see the way for a certain side to win." ”

"Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Beiting and the Central Plains, and maybe we can find clues from them. Gu Shenwei trusted the one-armed general's judgment very much, so he came to Tu Pianpian for advice as soon as he had a quick conversation.

Dugu Xian had briefly introduced the characteristics of each [***] team to the Dragon King before, but he still thought for a while before answering, "I think there are three advantages of the Beiting people: the first is flexibility, they can be gathered or dispersed, I value their ability to retreat the most, you can never guess when a group of Beiting cavalry who are fleeing will turn around and fight again, they rarely have a desperate rout." ”

"The second is archery, all countries have marksmen, some Central Plains people are even more famous, but gathered into an army, no country is comparable to the North Court, for the vast majority of grassland men, archery and horseback riding are the same as eating and drinking, it is an innate ability, just learn to walk to master these two skills. ”

"The third is tactics, the people of Beiting fight in the way of hunting, it seems to be chaotic, in fact, everyone performs their duties, it seems to be brave to fight hard, in fact, it is extremely defensive, and it is easy not to sacrifice their lives to fight, of course, only supplemented by a flexible retreat, this is the advantage. Does the Dragon King know that the Central Plains has besieged the main force of Beiting many times, and although he has won great victories, he has rarely been able to hunt down the Khan King himself. ”

Of course, Gu Shenwei knew that in the war that had just ended, he hadn't even seen Luo Luo himself, "A mature hunter may not be able to catch prey, but he will not be bitten by prey." ”

That's what it means. Dugu Xian waved his remaining arm, "Then talk about the disadvantages, which are actually the same as the previous three advantages." ”

"Oh?" Gu Shenwei was a little confused.

"First, being too flexible is undisciplined, the people of Beiting are good at riding and shooting, so they are afraid of close combat, once they are attacked, just like the Dragon King once did, their first thought must be to open the distance, if the enemy army is continuously approaching, retreat will become a flight. ”

"Second, Beiting relies too much on archery, and is extremely reluctant to other weapons, few people are willing to learn swords and guns, it is difficult to meet opponents in the vast grassland, and if you change the terrain, you will be constrained, to be honest, it is difficult for me to imagine how the Shule Kingdom can be conquered so easily, alas, ......"

"Thirdly, the Beiting cavalry are simple hunters, and the prey they encounter usually becomes panicked as soon as they engage in battle, and if they encounter a calm prey, they often have no tactics to use. ”

"Reversing these three is the disadvantage and advantage of the Central Plains. Gu Shenwei's impression of the two [***] teams in his heart became clearer.

"Well, don't think about those Central Plains troops stationed in the Western Regions all year round, they are only third-rate level, and they are not the same as the real main force of the Central Plains. ”

"I am from the Central Plains, and I only came to the Western Regions when I was a teenager. ”

"yes, I forgot. Dugu Xian said casually, his mind was obviously not on this, and he pondered for a longer time, "Military discipline, this is the biggest advantage of the Central Plains army, which is far beyond the Beiting people, to tell the truth, all the armies in the Western Regions, including the Dragon Army, compared with the Central Plains, are just a group of rabble." ”

Dugu Xian degraded the army he and the Dragon King created as useless, Gu Shenwei was not angry, he was thinking about the past when he was a child, but he got very little, Gu Lun is called a general, but he is actually a palace guard, and he has little contact with the army, there is only one thing, he has a vague impression.

"I heard a story about a young general who was found guilty and almost beheaded because he advanced too fast on the battlefield, and there is another crime, what is it......"

"Greedy for merit, the Central Plains army is like this, everything has to be done step by step, too brave and too cowardly are almost the same crimes, which is simply unimaginable in the eyes of the people of Beiting. ”

"Listening to the general's meaning, it seems that he is more optimistic about the Central Plains army. ”

"A well-trained Central Plains army. Dugu Xian stretched out his index finger to emphasize, "It is the real army, it is the dream of all generals, only they can achieve complex tactics and are ever-changing." ”

Dugu Xian seemed to have forgotten the point of this conversation, immersed in the hope of a "real army", and began to talk about something that had nothing to do with the situation. I have read some history books of the Central Plains and found a very interesting phenomenon, every time there is troubled times, the type of the Central Plains army will become single, or heavy cavalry, or heavy crossbows, or heavy spears, and they will no longer be able to integrate them together, on the contrary, every prosperous era, the types will be diverse, just like the Central Plains army we encounter today, even if there are only two or three thousand people, there is no shortage of bows, guns, swords and shields, if it really fights......"

Dugu Xian felt a chill behind him, but this made him come back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly, "Similarly, the advantage of the Central Plains army is also a disadvantage, a strictly disciplined army needs a commander who can fight well and is familiar with all types of soldiers, the ability of the commander is very important here, and it can almost determine victory or defeat." ”

This is also the reason why Dugu Xian admires the Central Plains-style army, he is an excellent general, but he has little room to play in the Western Regions.

Gu Shenwei thought for a while, "Suppose that the Beiting army is equal in number to the Central Plains army, and there is no obvious tendency in terms of time and place, and the outcome will be decided...... should be the commander of the Central Plains. ”

"It's my fault, I may have exaggerated the influence of the commander-in-chief on the army of the Central Plains, the better the training of the army, the more it can reduce the adverse effects of a mediocre commander-in-chief. Dugu Xian still refuses to make simple inferences.

"But the commander is a very important person after all. ”

"Well...... Dugu Xian thought for a long time, "If you can understand the ability of the commander of the Central Plains, maybe you can...... To a certain extent, the outcome of the war is predicted. ”

"Then please ask the general to send more people to inquire about the identity of the commander of the Central Plains, the more detailed the better. ”

"Yes, no matter who the commander of the Central Plains is, tomorrow our army will have to capture the Qianqi Pass first, and we must not let the Central Plains army gain a foothold south of the Tianshan Mountains. ”

"Of course. ”

Gu Shenwei talked with Dugu Xian for a long time, and when he came out, it was late at night, and Tu Pianpian was still waiting outside his tent, and as soon as he met, he asked, "Has the Dragon King thought about it?"

"I've thought about it. ”

"The people of Beiting withdraw their troops and no longer attack the Thousand Cavalry Pass?" Tu Pianpian looked happy.

"Tomorrow I will capture the Thousand Cavalry Pass, and then decide whether to withdraw or not depending on the situation. ”

Gu Shenwei walked into the tent, Tu Pianpian entered uninvited, holding a cane and kept poking at the ground, and poked a hole in the felt carpet in a few clicks, "Why doesn't the Dragon King understand......?

Gu Shenwei waved his hand to stop her from continuing, "You said that the Central Plains army is invincible in the world, but I don't think so. ”

"The Central Plains army is invincible in the world, isn't this what everyone knows?" Tu Pianpian looked dazed, as if the Dragon King's words violated some common sense, "King Xiao is grateful to the Dragon King for saving his life, so he sent me to remind you." ”

Gu Shenwei had no intention of arguing with the old woman, and then said, "What else is that Biyu City Lord, you are so vague that you want me to believe it?"

"The Dragon King doesn't need to believe me, just believe in King Xiao, he said that if you can become the Lord of Biyu City, you will definitely be able to become it. ”

"I don't know King Xiao. Gu Shenwei said coldly, he didn't remember that his father, brothers, relatives and friends had mentioned anything about "King Xiao".

Tu Pianpian looked at him with incredible eyes, "Alas, it seems that my mission has failed, and I also patted King Xiao's chest as a guarantee." ”

"I'm sorry. There was no apology in Gu Shenwei's voice, "I have no intention of starting a war with the Central Plains army, so you can go back and tell the 10,000 Central Plains pioneers that tomorrow the Beiting army will attack the Qianqi Pass, and the Dragon King hopes that the Central Plains people will watch, if you have to interfere, you can't do it." ”

Tu Pianpian stared at the Dragon King silently, suddenly turned around and left, refusing to say a word.

Gu Shenwei sat alone in the tent, not sleepy, so when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, he immediately woke up.

"The dragon king hasn't slept yet, has he?"

"Nope. ”

The red bat opened the curtain and came in, with a confused expression, "The head of the sect is leaving, saying that he will never come back." ”

"I know. ”

"The Dragon King knows?" the red bat turned from confusion to consternation, "but...... Everything is fine, the dragon king has ......"

Gu Shenwei's affair with Shangguan Ru was hidden from the soldiers of the battalion, but she couldn't avoid the eyes of the red bat, she didn't need to eavesdrop like Han Fen to guess the general truth.

"Why didn't you follow the head of the official sect?" Gu Shenwei intercepted the words of the red bat.

"I wanted to go with her, but the head of the church wouldn't allow me, and she said I should stay...... Take care of those who need me more. ”

"Shangguan Jiaotou is right, Long Chuanyun needs you more, so be it. ”

"The Dragon King really doesn't care?" Red Bat still found it hard to believe.

Gu Shen didn't squeak, and the red bat retreated with a red face.

Shangguan Ru quietly left with the female soldiers of the country of incense, and not many people knew, but not long after the red bat left, Shu Litu actually ran to talk about it in person.

Shu Litu has already proclaimed himself the Khan King, and it shouldn't be that he only took a few followers to run around in the middle of the night, he probably saw that there was still light in the Dragon King's tent, so he directly lifted the curtain and came in, "The people from the country of Liman and Xiangji are gone, does the Dragon King know?"

Gu Shenwei was really surprised this time, "Liman?"

"Well, Liman just said goodbye to me, saying that he had no shame to stay in the army, and that he was originally the groom of the Flame Pony, and that he would go wherever the Flaming Pony went in the future, so please let me tell the Dragon King. ”

Gu Shenwei was silent for a moment, "Let him go, those who can't keep it always can't keep it." ”

"It's a pity. Shu Litu was very careful not to mention Shangguan Ru, "Liman is a talent, and I want to reuse him in the future." ”

"Maybe he'll come back. ”

"I hope so. Tomorrow to attack the Thousand Cavalry Pass, I won't bother the Dragon King. Shu Litu took his leave disappointed, since the Dragon King did not intend to recover the people of the Fragrant Fruit Country, he could only give up Liman.

The second battle with Jinpeng Fort was about to begin, and compared with the battle of Xiaoyaohai, the strength and weakness were displaced, but Gu Shenwei did not have the joy of victory, and he did not sleep all night.
