Chapter 87: 'Victory'
The battle of Maoshigou came to an end, and the whole war lasted only one day, but in this day's time, Ma Zhan experienced the lessons of life and death, iron and blood, and profound lessons.
The lesson of this time, no, this experience, the experience is enough for Ma Zhan to enjoy for a lifetime, and it is different from the experience of the previous life, after all, Ma Zhan in the previous life has no chance to try at all, experience the life of the army, the battle of the soldiers.
Someone once said that if you regret being a soldier for a few years, you will regret not being a soldier for a lifetime, which refers not only to the life of the army, the honor of soldiers, but also the experience of iron and fire, blood and tears.
It was here that Ma Zhan really learned what despair is, what waiting, what torment, and persistence are; in just one day, Ma Zhan learned expectations, understood waiting, felt torment, and experienced persistence.
The battles of the big army, the small-scale collisions, and the different combat methods also made him deeply feel what it means to be small and what it means to be a hero.
The rain of arrows that cover the sky and the sun, the tacit understanding of teamwork, the battle in full swing, and the ability to fight against one hundred. The power of thousands of troops and horses makes Ma Zhan understand that no matter how strong an individual is, it seems insignificant.
Perhaps, to be able to survive the war is a kind of luck, a way of showing strength. Ma Zhan didn't know what the survivors thought, but he himself thought that this was really a kind of luck, if Zhang Sheng couldn't mobilize reinforcements in time, if the reinforcements couldn't arrive earlier, maybe, there would be no maybe. Some are just a corpse, a pinch of loess......
Although the Xiongnu's strategy was not perfect, it did not take any chance to use the 3,000 forward army as a spy army, confusing the Great Qin Army report, and making the Qin army commander think that the Xiongnu sent 3,000 spy troops.
The ploy was successful, but only a few troops were lured, and both sides understood that the best place to ambush was Maoshigou. The Great Qin army successfully ambushed the 3,000 spy army, and the Xiongnu also used 3,000 cannon fodder to successfully confuse the Qin army commander.
But what the Xiongnu leaders did not expect was that this lured out the overall strength of the army, and what the commander of Great Qin did not expect was that he ambushed only cannon fodder that should have died.
Only 10,000 border troops of the Great Qin Empire were successfully blocked in the small Maoshigou, and the advance of hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops, the four hours of life and death decision, let the wish of the Xiongnu Right Xian King be disappointed, and let Zhang Sheng, the commander of the border army of the Great Qin Yanmen Pass, walk on the verge of death.
In a contest of strategy and strategy, the Xiongnu won, and in a contest of military strength, Daqin won. The Xiongnu successfully captured Maoshigou, Daqin successfully defeated the Xiongnu, and it was the people who died as soldiers, and it was the groups of lovely young people who died, which was a guarantee of national security.
The defeat of the overall strength of the Xiongnu made their tribe lose a large number of young and strong, and the victory of the Great Qin Empire was still in the case of losing young and strong. In the end, thousands of people died there.
The stability and well-being of a country are also built on such a foundation.
The word war is simple, but how much is buried? The horse leather shroud, the best dignity of a soldier, contains how much helplessness and reluctance. The contest between countries involves too many factors, and also contains the heartache and blood and tears of tens of millions of people, but as soldiers, they are still as dedicated as ever, because they love their country and are willing to pay for the strength of the country, even if it is their own lives...... Only when the country is stable and prosperous will there be the well-being and prosperity of a small family.
Ma Zhan's thinking for a while involved too much, but he also believed that although his analysis of this battle was not very comprehensive, the focus would definitely not be wrong; what made him fanatical was that it was definitely a blessing for a country to have such soldiers; and this country would never decline for too long, just because there were too many such people, like these sacrificed soldiers. He is very proud, and living in such a country is his greatest luck and greatest comfort.
Shennong who fought for the survival of the nation, Emperor Qin who fought for the unification of the world, Han Wu who fought for the expulsion of the Xiongnu, King Wu mourning who fought for the hope of the nation, Tang Dynasty who fought for the Chinese civilization, Ming Dynasty who fought for the rise of China, and the Republic who fought for the rise of China.
Perhaps their original purpose was not to do this, but the end result of their actions has made this ancient country, deeply imprinted in the long river of history, influencing generations of people living on this land.
Ma Zhan hopes that he can become such a person, all because he also loves this old and young empire.
The war is over, but the survivors of the army led by Zhang Sheng are not at peace in their hearts, although they do not have such contemplation and emotion as Ma Zhan; because they do not need such thoughts for the time being, they only know that they are meritorious people. It may be right to be promoted and get rich, but they know that they can lead the troops, lead the robes, avenge the dead comrades, and establish greater feats, with many purposes and no contradictions.
......
The war is over, yes, for the time being, you don't need to die, but what about the future? Ma Zhan didn't know, he only knew that he could go back to the city lord's mansion, away from death, away from blood.
After returning to the city lord's mansion, Ma Zhan instructed Lao Wang to boil enough hot water and prepare enough food.
When I came to the room, I soaked in the warm hot water and lay down comfortably for a long time, relieving my fatigue and soothing my mind......
Meimei ate a meal and drank a few bowls happily.
After a full meal, lying on the chair in the courtyard, lazily basking in the sun, quiet, harmonious and happy, enjoying the touch of light, the body became soft and soft, and I didn't want to move, just like that, everything was peaceful......
Enjoying a few days of rare leisurely and comfortable days, he became a little lazy, thinking that if he was like this, he would be satisfied to be a powerless marquis, a nominal city lord, and live happily like this for the rest of his life, perhaps, it would be a good choice.
But thinking of all the rivers and lakes and the consequences of laziness, Ma Zhan had to force himself, stopped enjoying, put down his leisurely and comfortable life, and began to practice martial arts desperately. Because only kung fu can make you safe, and only martial arts can keep you alive now.
The war is over, but the problems discovered around the Maoshigou battle have only begun to ferment. Why can only 10,000 troops block the vengeful but ambitious Xiongnu army in the narrow Maoshi ditch.
A Hou Ye, a Hou Ye who loves to practice martial arts, and a Hou Ye who joined the army but started as a small soldier, played a huge role in this battle of Maoshigou. With himself as the tip of the knife and the remnants of the army as the backing, in the narrow Maoshi Valley, he successfully blocked the Hun army from attacking again and again, and bravely shook the Xiongnu commander
Under his command is only a few generals.
What is the reason for this? Could it be that the brave and incomparably fierce commander Bu Lihua and the murderous commander Dunbu were in vain in the Xiongnu? Or was it that the Xiongnu's commander was nothing more than that? Or did it mean that the overall combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu was a general, and two cronies with ordinary military force were allowed to command the troops, so that the most commanding Youxian King could better command the army? Therefore, the brave and fierce Bulihua and the murderous Dunbu were deliberately transmitted by the top leaders of the Xiongnu?
Of course not, Daqin's military newspaper organization would not be so incompetent, all of which showed that in a small place, a martial arts master who was accustomed to internal strength would have absolutely immeasurable combat effectiveness.
Judging from the previous eradication of the martial arts sects that opposed the imperial court, in a special place, a martial arts master can indeed kill thousands of elite troops. Just like fifteen years ago, when the demagogic Yellow Sect was encircled and suppressed, Zhao Xu, the leader of the Yellow Sect at that time, the 'Holy Hand of Mobei', killed 5,000 border troops one by one in a ditch in the Northern Desert, so that a few core members of the Yellow Sect escaped pursuit.
At first, I thought it was the commander of the encirclement and suppression at that time, and deliberately ambushed 5,000 border troops for the sake of the friendship between the division and the family. While questioning the capital, he sent people to investigate the situation, and on the other hand, he was the commander to pursue the remnants of the Yellow Sect, but once again, three thousand border troops died in a place that was not conducive to the development of the military formation.
This made the court pay attention to this matter, and after the incident was thoroughly investigated, I understood the importance of martial arts masters, but although he paid attention to it, it was just to win over him to do things for the court.
