Chapter 153: Rampaging the Desert

Gao Yuan sent an envoy, because Sima Jian proposed to give up halfway, the witch king has sent troops, and then go to Cuihua Kyoto to lose meaning, it is better than nothing is that Meiling remains neutral on the surface, secretly stands on the side of the soldiers, blocks the mountain and forest secret road, and no longer has to worry about the witch soldiers suddenly attacking from the side.

When I went to escort Mo Xie Sword, the actual combat training led to a slow trip, and it was not fast when I returned, the caravan of the Mei family was full of food and pills, and I couldn't hide my tracks in the forest, the mountains were high and the forests were dense and the grass was reckless, and the inspector team did not fight a small battle, and it was two months later to return to the ancient village.

Hua Zifei led the three battalions of elite cavalry to train on the edge of the desert while guarding, for individual skills, the old man did not waste time, three or two months are difficult to achieve immediate results, he mainly trained the cavalry charge queue, but it is not the routine of the imperial military academy and then the battle.

"Thirty miles to the northeast, the horse bandits will camp in Crescent Spring tonight, there are more than four hundred, never more than five hundred, with thousands of horses in the camp, it should be after robbing the tribe has not had time to get out. ”

Xingxia's 600 horse bandits defected to Yanning, most of them stayed in the grassland to suppress the bandits, he selected 30 cronies to serve as guides in the cavalry battalion, and also underwent strict formal military training.

"Which tribe was robbed?"

Hua Zifei slid his fingers on the map, and asked in a deep voice without raising his head, and everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his hoarse voice.

"Commander, we met by chance on the way back to the camp, and we were afraid of delaying the fighter plane to come back first to report, so we have sent two teams to follow his path to investigate. ”

At the beginning of the training, which was so strict that it was not close to people, some people talked behind their backs that the effectiveness of military training needed to be tested on the battlefield, and that it was beautiful to maintain a formation and gallop on horseback every day, although it was beautiful but of little practical significance.

"There are only two kinds of people on the battlefield, those who have died and those who are about to die, and you can't find a big man who judges the gains and losses of tactics with a wine glass, hehe, the strange story tells the insight of the world, please stand up and tell me, which one is willing to practice first?"

The young officer couldn't stand the sarcasm in front of him, and blood poured into his face one by one, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and someone stood up at the moment and impassionedly expressed that he had no regrets about dying for the country.

"Thousands of miles of desert, I can't afford to put on the wine and food, but it is not difficult to achieve the reputation of a warrior, there are more horse bandits in the desert than wolves, tomorrow a few of you will go deep with the scouts, hehe, after the battle is killed, I will carefully evaluate which training method is more suitable, but unfortunately someone will never see it." ”

Since the generals of the army love warriors who are not afraid of death, who would have expected that Hua Zifei would really turn his generous statement into a bloody fight, saying that he had a small heart and revenge, it was you who automatically stood up to kill and serve the country, and did not approve of the training method of the main general, and people gave you the opportunity to perform, and went to the battlefield to prove it to everyone.

To be able to stand out among the cadets and become the patrol commander, all of them are good at one in a hundred, the standard battalion has been trained for several years, and the brave and unscrupulous men will not be appointed as officers, and the commander of the regiment clearly wants to send people to death, and the task of the scouts is mainly to reconnoiter the enemy, and there is no need to start fighting if the enemy is found, but the people who make generous statements can not return empty-handed, or the title of warrior in the mouth of Hua Zifei can be ashamed to death.

"Sit down, you are not afraid of death, I am old, I am afraid of death, I love money and I don't sleep. Hua Zifei softened his tone, let the young officers with red faces and thick necks return to their seats, looked at the three captains who had been silent, and his voice became cold again: "The instructor of the standard battalion, can come back alive on the battlefield and sit in a high position, tell everyone, what are you relying on?"

"I survived, but many talented comrades-in-arms fell under the enemy's sword, the battlefield is not a samurai duel, hundreds of people are fighting, and if you mess up, you will soon find that there are enemies around you, and most people don't know where the fatal knife came from until they die!"

The three lieutenants all hated iron and steel, and the cavalry tactics course of the standard battalion kept the formation throughout, and learned a lot of practical skills from the formation training designed by Hua Zifei, and quickly gathered the team when charging and encountering obstacles, penetrating the enemy's defense and regrouping, and marching and encountering battles and defending against the attack, all of which are the tactical essence of the cavalry battalion summed up from the flesh and blood for thousands of years.

"Commander, the three battles with the tribal cavalry were too easy, and the junior officers had the idea of underestimating the enemy, and they blamed us for being busy training and neglecting discipline. ”

Hua Zifei was not satisfied with the explanation of the other captain, but he did not reprimand him in public, and looked coldly at the captain of the first battalion on his right.

"There has been no major war at the border for decades, most of the instructors have not participated in large-scale battles, and the training of the standard battalion has gradually detached itself from actual combat, and the intensity has also decreased. ”

The captain told the truth, Hua Zifei was noncommittal, still with an indifferent face.

"Luofeng Continent has become a practice of martial arts, early morning is a good time to practice, why should the standard camp and military academy be wasted on morning exercises, a few years like a day to run and walk in line, three or five sets of long fists and short fights can be practiced without mistakes, there is only one reason, retired officers are well-deserved samurai, but no matter how good the folk samurai is, they are not good officers without training, the difference lies in the ability to cooperate in combat, remember, it is habit is consciousness is instinct, on the battlefield, the enemy's saber and bow and crossbow, will only leave the dead to think about which tactics are most effective。 ”

Hua Zifei added a few words before leaving, which made the faces of the three captains blush.

"There are living people who are thinking and summarizing tactics, because there are more dead souls under their swords than you can see the faces of the enemy, and the long-term peace is to disconnect the imperial bureaucracy from actual combat, but no one can change the principle of commanding the battle, and it cannot be used as a reason for dereliction of duty. ”

Two people in a row and three people in a row, the pickets of the regiment's personal guards were everywhere, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion did not dare to relax in their training and leisure, unless they took off their military uniforms on vacation, so that they could have a short period of indulgence and relaxation. The shape of the charge formation is ever-changing, but the cone formation has never left the sight, the five-person sentry charge is like this, and the charge of the three battalions is the same, but the scale is different, more than a month of training, the three battalions of cavalry are in a mixed battle during the exercise, standing on the high platform and looking, like countless long snakes writhing, and the sharp triangular snake head rolls up the flying sand in the sky.

There are more horse bandits in the grassland than wolves, and they have become the ideal target for the actual combat training of the cavalry battalion, and the heavy troops are encircled, the light cavalry rushes forward, and the long-distance tracking, Hua Zifei's military order flies out of the tent, and one after another the horse bandits have turned into white bones under the yellow sand, and the cavalry battalion has also paid the corresponding price, and there are cadets who died in battle in every patrol, and blood and death accompany the growth of young officers.

When the young officers gradually got used to fighting, Hua Zifei scattered three battalions and fifteen standard teams, and more than 10,000 people scattered in the desert within a radius of thousands of miles like inconspicuous sand dunes.

"Commander, the third battalion and the eleventh standard are on the left flank, the closest to the crescent spring, surround it at night, and more than four hundred people can't run a few. ”

The three captains did not follow the standard team, so Hua Zifei stayed in the tent and participated in the planning of the training strategy.

"You see, the crescent moon spring is surrounded by continuous sand dunes on three sides, only the terrain in the south is relatively flat, the cloud is a habitual bandit for half a day, and there will be no retreat before camping, and when he encounters a surprise attack at night, he will inevitably flee to the south when he can't withstand it, the closer he gets to the forest, the more difficult it is to track, and it is really difficult for other bandits to eat him, and it will make him bite back. ”

"Plan?" Hua Zifei looked at the map and asked, the captain was used to the role of a staff officer, picked up a wooden stick and compared it on the map: "The attacking force is less and can't move, and the clouds will scatter and flee after half a day when they are all pressed, and the troops will be tracked at night, and the terrain is not as familiar to the horse bandits, so it is easy to chase and lose." My idea is that the five standards first sent two standard teams to feint from the east and west, and the main force was ambushed in the north, and so on for a long time the clouds realized that it was the student soldiers attacking, not the grassland bandits, and when they fled to the south, the main force of the five standards chased after him, and bit him to death in the pursuit. ”

"The plan is good, but a few days ago, there was information that Cuihua witch soldiers appeared at the edge of the forest, and now I don't know how many troops, it is very easy to run into witch soldiers after Wubiao, don't be able to eat half a day cloud, but fall into the ambush of witch soldiers. ”

The captain in charge of intelligence reminded on the side that it was not strange for the witch soldiers to appear at the edge of the forest, and there were trials all year round, but the current situation was sensitive, and the scouts did not dare to get too close, and they couldn't figure out the opponent's strength.

Hua Zifei made it clear that the staff officers should take all factors into account and come up with a flawless combat plan as much as possible, and even then there may be omissions, while the main general will think more about the disadvantages on his own, and he should concentrate his energy mainly on whether to fight or not to fight, as well as on the choice of the goal and timing of the battle, and how to deploy troops is the business of the staff officers.

The military system of the Qinghui Empire, in addition to the Royal Janissary and the Guards Corps, there are only a handful of standing regiments, and the military power is mainly in the hands of the captains of each battalion, and the establishment of more than 3,000 people does not need to set up special staff officers.

Hua Zifei changed the normal way to set up a military staff officer, and was also filled by a lieutenant with rich experience in actual combat, it is inevitable that some people wonder if it is to unify military power in disguise, although there is a warrant from the county lord, the three captains are somewhat resistant, but the cold face quickly dissolves in the busyness, Hua Zifei is taking power, almost assigning the power of the corps commander to the staff officer, and only retains the most basic command that cannot be handed over, and no one dares to take over.

When the staff officers really play their role, I don't know how much the command efficiency has improved, just like now, the enemy situation has only been reported, Hua Zifei has not said whether to fight or not, the operational staff officers have already come up with a preliminary plan, and the other two staff officers have consciously participated in the correction, and if they really want to start fighting, Hua Zifei only needs a slight change to quickly issue an order, of course, he has the right to change the way of fighting, such as sending heavy troops to surround it, and surround the clouds for half a day and eat them in one bite, but obviously that is not the best choice.

"Why don't you ambush the main force in the south and wait for the clouds to flee for a while?"

Hua Zifei set up a staff officer with other intentions, and the unbearable past limited him to relive in seclusion after the grassland war, otherwise it would bring unbearable pressure to the county lord Duguying, but the old king's former cadre knew in his heart that the battle for the throne was intertwined with various conspiracies, and in the end he had to rely on strength to speak, all the conspiracies were to strengthen himself and weaken the opponent, he could not stand in front of the stage and participate, so he might as well take advantage of the rare opportunity to train Duguying to train a few more generals who could fight well.

When it comes to setting up staff officers and granting powers, Hua Zifei was still inspired by Gao Yuan. The grandson, who had no experience at all, acted as the commander of the Lingbo standard team, and marched in an orderly manner, and the advice and advice of the instructor team were great.

The old man was naturally much more clever than Sun Tzu, and soon realized that this was a fundamental change in the imperial military system, which was not only conducive to improving command efficiency, allowing the chief general to get rid of cumbersome military affairs, but also to restrain the commanders and colonels, and the staff officers to control every move of the army.

"Ambush in the south, Bantianyun found that the momentum was not good, and he would still choose to scatter and escape, only by forcing him to the south, so that he always had the idea of escaping into the forest to hide, he would not be defeated into a rout, as for the Cuihua Witch Soldiers, don't worry too much, Hua Yue's standard team is not far from the forest these days, if there is really a witch brigade, she will rush to the aid of the five standards in time. ”

Hua Zifei pondered for a while and felt that there was no major mistake in the plan, so he nodded and spoke: "Hurry up and write a written order, let the five standards attack as soon as possible! Don't forget the old rules, plus when the enemy situation changes, authorize the five standard commanders to deal with it on the spot." ”

Such a scene is constantly staged in the handsome tent, in exchange for one after another combat summary, the grassland bandits have been wiped out in the paperwork exchange one after another, the three battalions of fifteen standard more than 10,000 elite cavalry, gradually pressed the desert horse bandits to the border of Cuihua and the sunset, the two countries had to send more teams to suppress the bandits, the desert horse bandits, student soldiers, witch soldiers, mercenary camps are intertwined, the four sides are friends and enemies of each other, the battle is going on all the time, for a time the business travel is extinct, and the transmission of information about the grassland of all parties has been virtually delayed.

"With 100,000 elite soldiers rampaging through the desert, Fang shows the true character of a man, hahaha, I can't imagine that I Hua Zifei has lived in seclusion for more than ten years, but in the end, because of my grandson, the dream has become a reality, although there is no 100,000 army, but with more than 10,000 soldiers to stir up the Three Kingdoms.
