Chapter 356: The war is coming
"Marching and fighting, the most taboo to be confined to the law, according to the book of war, you know, you have a book of war, people also have, the person who understands deeply can get the first opportunity, I read more than 80 books of war, but the most only remember one sentence, that is, its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like a yin, moving like a thunderstorm, this sentence does not tell us how to arrange tactics, because any tactics are not immutable, as long as you do the above points, and then formulate appropriate tactics according to the way of the three talents, you can take advantage......" Li Qianmo talked endlessly about the key to the art of war on the stage, and the soldiers in the audience listened to it with relish, in addition to admiration or admiration, Tatam had already hung his head at the moment, and he had no words to squeeze Li Qianmo.
When Li Qianmo finished speaking, a soldier suddenly shouted: "We are willing to let Li Qianmo be our military advisor and lead us to defeat the Kusang tribe!"
"Yes, Li Qianmo's military advisor, please lead us to defeat the Kusan tribe!"
......
One person shouted, which immediately caused the rest of the people to respond, and the school field was full of excited cheers, and all the soldiers asked Li Qianmo to be a military advisor.
When they shouted enough, Li Qianmo raised his hand to quiet them down, and said with a smile: "Okay, from now on, I will be your military advisor." After that, he turned his head to look at Patriarch Hairuo and said, "Patriarch Hairuo, please give me the talisman." ”
Hairuo hesitated for a moment, took out the talisman from his arms, and handed it to Li Qianmo, Li Qianmo took it in his hand and looked at it, raised it high, and said loudly: "The talisman is here, the three armies listen to the order, from today on, everyone must listen to my orders, you must know that the military order is like a mountain, the army must be strictly governed, and those who disobey the military order will be killed!"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers in the audience looked at each other with a pang in their hearts.
Li Qianmo put away the talisman and said loudly again: "Twelve thousand commanders, please come out of the ranks!"
As soon as the words fell, twelve people immediately walked out of the queue, stood in a row, and said in unison: "Please command!"
Li Qianmo glanced at them, nodded and said, "Please report your names." ”
The twelve people were stunned, and reported their names in turn, the names of the White Horse people were strange, but Li Qianmo wrote them all down after hearing it.
After hearing their names, Li Qianmo took out twelve tiger teeth from his arms, stepped off the high platform, came to them, and distributed the tiger teeth to them one by one.
Although the twelve commanders felt inexplicable, they still took it, looked carefully, and found that these tiger teeth were engraved with words, and all the words were different, and together they were "Zi Chou Yin Mao ......" is the name of the twelve hours.
"Strategist, what do you mean by this tiger tooth?" a commander was really curious, and couldn't help but ask.
Li Qianmo replied with a smile: "This is my self-made tiger tooth order, each tiger tooth order is unique, you must remember the words on the tiger tooth order you hold, when I give orders, I will give orders with this word, understand?"
"Understood!" everyone replied in unison.
"Okay!" Li Qianmo turned around and waited on the high platform, and said in a loud voice, "Everyone go back to rest first, wait until noon, come here to practice, if anyone is late, the cane will be served, and they will disperse!"
"Yes!" Everyone was ordered to disperse, and in just a moment, only Li Qianmo and Patriarch Hairuo were left in the huge school field.
Patriarch Hairuo glanced at Li Qianmo and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such a deep insight into the art of war after only reading the book of war for one day, which really impresses me." ”
Li Qianmo smiled ashamedly, shook his head and said: "Actually, I'm just talking on paper, the real tactics must be obtained from actual combat, Patriarch Hairuo, I still have one more thing to ask for." ”
Hai Ruo spread his hands and said, "Strategist, please speak." ”
Li Qianmo said: "I already know the strength of the nobles, but I don't know how many weapons the nobles have, can you count them for me?"
Hai Ruo sighed with a bitter face when he heard this: "There is no need to count, our clan does not have many weapons, they are all in everyone's hands just now, there are only more than 100,000 arrows left in the armory, and there are ten earthen cannons, and the ammunition is also limited, so we have been reluctant to use it." ”
Li Qianmo nodded, and asked again, "What about the grain and grass?"
"You don't have to worry about food and grass. Hai Ruo laughed when he heard this, "Our clan's grain and grass are enough to eat until winter, and there are more than 1,000 cattle and sheep in reserve, which is enough." ”
"Well, that's good. Li Qianmo nodded and said, "There is a way that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, although the grain and grass are logistics, it can be said to be a vital factor in determining the war, and we must reserve enough." ”
Hai Ruo praised when he heard this: "If I don't know the way, I really think that you are a battle-hardened general." ”
Li Qianmo smiled faintly and was noncommittal.
Hairuo chatted with him a few more words, and when it was time for lunch, he invited Li Qianmo to dine together, Li Qianmo said that he had something to do, so he excused himself, and Hairuo was not reluctant, so he left alone.
At noon, the soldiers all had lunch and gathered at the school grounds.
After entering the school field, they were stunned, only to see that the ground of the school field was drawn many big circles, and there were words in the circles, some were written "Dui", some were written "Kan", and some were written "Guimei", the words in each circle were different, there were about fifty or sixty of them, distributed on the huge school field.
The soldiers were very curious about these white circles on the ground, and they started to talk about it, and at this time, Li Qianmo shouted loudly on the high platform: "Noon has come, the drill has begun, with a team of 1,000 people, form a team of 12!"
The soldiers below immediately moved quickly, and arranged twelve teams based on the twelve commanders.
Li Qianmo looked down at the neat team below, and said solemnly: "Listen, everyone, from today onwards, you must forget the previous formation, based on the current formation, which team you stand on, which commander will belong to, from now on, the name of each team will be replaced by the Huya Order, now, the drill begins!
"Huh?" The commander of the Yin team was stunned, then he reacted, and immediately led a thousand people to look for a circle with the word "Dayou" written on it on the school grounds, and it took a long time to find it, and dragged it over.
Seeing this, Li Qianmo frowned and shouted: "It's too slow, if you were on the battlefield, you would have been stabbed to death by the enemy's spear!"
Everyone in the Yin team was reprimanded by him and lowered their heads one after another.
Li Qianmo continued to command: "Sub-team cadres!"
The commander of the sub-team hurriedly led everyone to find the cadre position, and then quickly ran over.
Unexpectedly, Li Qianmo still frowned and shouted: "It's still too slow, you must remember the sixty-four positions on this school field, and you must keep it in mind, when the war breaks out, there will be no such circles and words on the battlefield to remind you, do you hear it!"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
The drill continued, Li Qianmo continued to command the various thousand-person teams to change positions, and every time they landed on the sixty-four hexagrams, they practiced from noon until the sun set, and the soldiers gradually became proficient, and they also memorized these hexagrams on the ground.
The content of the second day's drill was the same, the third day was the same, and on the fourth day, when the soldiers came to the school ground, they found that the ground was empty, and they no longer saw those circles.
After these three days of training, the soldiers have already memorized these hexagrams, and they no longer procrastinate when moving, and they are very accurate.
But Li Qianmo was not satisfied, the requirements for them became more and more demanding, and he began to change the size of the field, after all, no one knew how big the battlefield would be when he was fighting, and it could not be just as big as this school field.
In this way, it is difficult for those commanders, because they have to calculate the position of the sixty-four hexagrams according to the size of the battlefield after Li Qianmo gives an order, and they don't have the wisdom of Li Qianmo, which is really too difficult for them.
Fortunately, practice makes perfect, after more than ten days, they actually adapted, and Li Qianmo gradually smiled, very satisfied with their performance, and his battle formation was completed.
It had been twenty days since the Kusan envoy left, and the Kusan army had not yet been discovered, and on the twenty-first day, a fast horse rushed into the camp of the White Horse tribe at a gallop, and came directly to the camp of the Hairuo patriarch to report: "The scouts in front have reported that the vanguard army of 50,000 people of the Kusan tribe has crossed the White Tiger Hill and is rushing towards us. ”
"It's finally here!" Hai Ruo suddenly stood up when he heard this, and asked in a loud voice, "How far is it?"
The messenger replied, "Patriarch Hui, according to their speed, it is estimated that we are now less than five hundred miles away. ”
"Five hundred miles?" Hai Ruo frowned when he heard this, "Five hundred miles, if the marching speed is fast enough, you can reach it in one day." At this point, he commanded loudly, "Go and inform the military advisor!"
"Yes!" the messenger took the order and retreated.
It didn't take long for Li Qianmo to come to Hairuo's tent, and as soon as the two met, Hairuo immediately said urgently: "Strategist, the Kusang army is here." ”
"I know. Li Qianmo replied with a faint smile, "So I came to you to tell you that I am going to go on the expedition with the army." ”
"Going on the expedition?" Hai Ruo glared at hearing this, "Aren't we on the defensive, why do we want to go on the expedition." ”
"Defense?" Li Qianmo shook his head and smiled, "There are no city buildings on this grassland, how to defend, if you want to win, you must win by surprise, it is precisely because the enemy didn't think that we would take the initiative to attack, so we can attack them by surprise." ”
Hai Ruoyan thought about it when he heard this, nodded and muttered, "It sounds very reasonable, do you have a countermeasure?"
"Not yet. Li Qianmo didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said lightly, "The current plan is to take the initiative to meet them, they are tired from the long march, and we are waiting for work, just to attack them by surprise, plus my ingenious formation, only 50,000 people are not to be afraid." ”
Hai Ruo was dumbfounded when he heard it, he really didn't know why Li Qianmo had so much confidence, and actually said that the 50,000 army was not to be afraid, he really suspected that this was bragging, but the matter had come to this, there was no turning back, since he chose Li Qianmo, he could only believe him, gritted his teeth, and said: "Okay, you go, you must fight a beautiful victory!"
Li Qianmo nodded with a faint smile and arched his hand: "Then I will leave." After that, he withdrew from the camp tent and ordered all the soldiers to assemble in the school field and prepare to go out.
