Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1399

In the early spring, the cold rain came rushing down, drenching the ground that had not been thawed for a long time. With the horses and people stepping on the car, it gradually turned into a rotten yellow mud, making it impossible to move an inch.

Brigades of baggage vehicles were struggling on the road, dragged and pushed by weak peasants, struggling in the mud to transport the baggage materials forward.On both sides of the road, the little officials in coir raincoats shouted and cursed, running back and forth, some of them stepped on the wrong foot, and their bodies were stained with yellow mud and black water.

In the team, the sounds of cattle and horses mixed with the shouts of the servants, and the sound of horns pushed and pulled by some peasants. The whole road was extremely noisy, but more peasants were silent, moving forward numbly. .

Fortunately, there were many mules, horses and cattle brought from Taishici in the queue, which saved some manpower. Otherwise, in such weather, it would be wishful thinking to transport the grain and grass to Hangu Pass in time.

Of course, behind these civilian husbands, there was also a group of county soldiers, all of whom were walking slowly in the rain and fog. Everyone breathed out a long white breath in the cold rain.Without generals, there is no need to think about arriving smoothly. In this era, there are many civilians fleeing at night. If there are no soldiers to rectify from time to time, when the three thousand civilians arrive at Hangu, I am afraid that [-]% Nothing left.

These original Hongnong soldiers are naturally much worse than the troops brought by Tai Shici. They were originally arranged as auxiliary soldiers for escort, so they still have some opinions. He swallowed all the complaints in his stomach, and at most let them out as a fart.

As the generals of the Hongnong Yang family, apart from knowing some simple tactics, I am afraid that there is no advantage. After all, in this era, there are many generals who can lead troops, but there are not many generals who can train troops. One, and as the earliest military training camp established in the Beiqu camp, if one or two instructors are drawn out to train in it, I am afraid that they will immediately become the sweet pastry of other princes.

It's like Huang Xian, who just knew some methods, was used by Cao Cao as a military training general. Although there are some other reasons, it also shows that Cao Cao believes that Huang Xian is relatively strong in military training skills.

As far as military law is concerned, it is not as simple as seeing someone make a mistake, dragging them out and holding them in the mud, shouting and killing, or beating with military sticks, or beheading, so that there can be an army with strict prohibitions. It's not like setting up a restrictive framework, and then applying pressure layer by layer, you can build a prototype of a fierce army...

The reason is actually very simple. In the age of no intelligence, many military men were equivalent to the intelligence of 6-7-year-old children with healthy bodies. In later generations, those parents who would almost vomit blood when teaching their children to do their homework, are naturally deep-rooted. Have experience.Beating and scolding has no effect, it just lets these guys know that something is wrong, as to why they made a mistake, how to avoid making mistakes again in the future, or how to do better, it may not be clear.

Therefore, the role of military law is not all about being strict when making mistakes, but for the entire army to know the strictness of military law and be vigilant at all times not to offend, in order to play its due role, and this is difficult for most generals. do it.It's like Mr. Zhang is in a hurry, but he just knows how to use a whip...

Therefore, Tai Shici showed great dissatisfaction with the original Hongnong soldiers guarding Hangu Pass.

Seeing this, Yang Xiu couldn't help but smile wryly.

When the army and horses were gathered back then, Yang Xiu also followed Yang Biao to do it himself. Five or six of these county soldiers were selected by him at that time. He thought it was good at the time. They were all strong and intelligent, but Compared with these soldiers who conquered the West now, it is simply...

Nothing was said.

General Zhengxi was able to control the three assistants, and even tidied up the Xiqiang people in Xianbei. At first, Yang Xiu was still somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, but since this period of time, especially when he came to Pingyang, he saw Fei Qian himself, and then I went to Taiyuan Shangdang again, and then I went to Hedong. I came all the way, seeing these Zhengxi men, these Zhengxi soldiers really left a deep impression on Yang Xiu's heart!

The Yang family, it's not wrong to lose!

My own soldiers, when there is no comparison target, seem to be okay, and I am still a barbarian, but looking at the soldiers of Zhengxi, they are no longer at the same level...

Take the soldiers who conquered the West in front of us as an example, as long as it is a military order issued by Tai Shici, there is definitely no need to repeat it a second time, and some orders that are relatively vague or require continuous operation can also be better executed. Yang's county soldiers need to break up the order and issue it piece by piece.

"These soldiers, when Captain Zhang arrives, we will practice again together!" Tai Shici frowned and said, "The so-called prohibition does not mean that the soldiers will be turned into logs! I don't know that guy taught them, it's just messing around! "

Yang Xiu silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not daring to answer.

Tai Shici didn't wait for Yang Xiu's reply, pointed his hand to the east, and said: "In two days, Captain Zhang will come... During these two days, the food, grass and supplies must be arranged according to the original plan." Complete! At that time, a certain leader will go east, and the follow-up follow-up will be arranged! How, can it be done?"

Coming out of Hangu Pass is Heluo, and to the east of Heluo is Yimapingchuan.

Although General Zhengxi's strategy was a little risky, Tai Shici felt that there is no time when military affairs in the world do not take risks.And as far as Tai Shici is concerned, on the one hand, attacking Yuan Shao can be regarded as repaying Gongsun's remaining emotions from back then. On the other hand, Tai Shici originally liked this kind of risky game...

Yang Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Ding Zun's order."

Yang Zhong on the side also said: "But please rest assured, General, I will try my best."

Tai Shici nodded, left the two of them behind, and left on his own, regardless of how embarrassed Yang Xiu and Yang Zhong were.Anyway, in Tai Shici's mind, Yang's are all soft bastards who don't deserve to be dealt with, and it's not worth worrying about.

Yang Zhong watched Taishi Ci go away, turned his head to Yang Xiugong and said, "Mr. Shaolang, this... this person is rude..."

Yang Xiu smiled and said softly: "What's the problem? Given time, you and I will definitely be on top of it, and it won't be too late to talk about it then."

The corners of Yang Zhong's mouth curled up slightly, he stroked his beard, and said, "Mr. Yang's move to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses is not a lost opportunity. It's just that His Majesty is now in Xu County, this..."

Yang Xiu glanced at Yang Zhong and understood what he wanted to say, but Yang Xiu didn't want to answer, but changed the question to another aspect: "Therefore, the strategy of conquering the west is very good! In the name of paying tribute, marching soldiers Cao Pingdong should not, should not be, and should not be! And if this is the case, General Yuan will definitely be suspicious! This move kills two birds with one stone, it is wonderful!"

Yang Zhong paused for a moment with his hand stroking his beard, and then nodded together in admiration. Both of them seemed to express their sincere admiration for General Zhengxi.

It's just that among such gestures, how much is true and how much is fake, only everyone can know for themselves...

Yang Xiu arched his hands and said, "I will be returning to Pingyang tomorrow, so I'll leave it to you, Mr. Ling..."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Shaolang, I will take care of myself..." Yang Zhong bowed his hands and said in return.The two looked at each other, as if they had explained something, but they also seemed to have nothing.

The wind and rain seemed to be a little bit stronger, falling on the top of Hangu Pass, infiltrating the blue-brick city walls that had been hacked by knives and axes, and stained with fire and blood, as well as the three big characters smeared with cinnabar on the top of the city gate. Hangu Pass", the rainwater gathers between the strokes, and then flows down slowly, like thick blood dripping down...

....................................

In the rain, Fei Qian reined in his horse and stood. Although he was wearing a coir raincoat, it didn't have much effect. The thin spring rain still mischievously got into Fei Qian's arms from various angles, moistening the clothes.Dozens of guards followed Fei Qian, and after running for a certain distance, all the men and horses breathed out long white air in the misty drizzle.

In the past two days, Fei Qian checked the surrounding terrain while deploying the army horses.Jia Qu returned to Huguan County to prepare supplies such as grain and grass, while he took Gong Jun and Ling Jie to circle around the surrounding mountain roads before Yuan Shao's troops arrived.Fei Qian and his party are all Qingqi, and they are all Bingzhou men with strong skills. In addition, Fei Qian personally led them, so no one expressed how difficult the journey was.

In the face of the great enemy, Fei Qian was still wandering around in the mountains, as if he was not in a hurry at all, as if everything was under Fei Qian's control.

Seeing that Fei Qian had been in the rain for a long time, Huang Xu couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "My lord, do you want to set up a canopy? It's not too much trouble anyway..."

Fei Qian shook his head and smiled, "Someone is sitting in the canopy, and then you are standing in the rain, drenched, what's the point? Don't worry about it, go help me and call Second Colonel Gong Ling over."

Huang Xu smiled stupidly, stepped back to give the order, and after a while, Gong Jun and Ling Jie rushed over from the queue.

Fei Qian pointed to the mountains on the left and right sides and said: "The mountains here are circling, and the terrain is varied, which is suitable for infantry combat..." If time or the battle situation allows, Fei Qian really wants to be in the mountains of Hanzhong. Some of the mountain battalion trained in the interior came over, and now, we can only hope that the scout battalion led by Gong Jun and Ling Jie, who are relatively strong and good at multi-combat, can take up this responsibility first.

Walking around the Taihang Mountains for the past two days, Fei Qian really found that it is not empty talk for a hundred thousand troops to enter the Taihang in later generations. On such a terrain, only the Eight Routes of the Taihang can march on a large scale, but there are far more than these people who can leave. There are eight roads, so if you fight a guerrilla in this mountain, it is indeed a treasure land created by nature.

"Here?" Gong Jun looked left and right in the direction Fei Qian was pointing at, and said with some hesitation, "It's not difficult to go up this mountain, but if you want to climb it, you need to spend a lot of energy. Go up and fight... this..."

Fei Qian laughed, and slowly explained to Gong Jun and Ling Jie.

Fei Qian can understand Gong Jun's way of thinking, and this is also the way of thinking of most people in the Han Dynasty, and even ancient people.After all, the combat mode of guerrilla warfare encountered very large limitations in ancient times, and the most important factor was the problem mentioned by Gong Jun.

The biggest difference between the era of cold weapons and the era of hot weapons is here. As long as hot weapons arrive at the location, problems that can be solved with a flick of a finger, in the era of cold weapons, it is necessary to rely on face-to-face fighting. , Climbing up the mountain in a short time, and then rushing down the mountain, I am afraid that by the time the opponent is in front of him, most of his physical strength has been consumed. At this time, the opponent may only need to erect the shield to harvest these brainless ambushers.

However, Feiqian here has an innate advantage. It can even be said that among all the princes, he has the number of powerful crossbows. If Feiqian is ranked second, no one really dares to be the first.

The strong crossbow produced by Huang's workshop has been improved for so many years, and now it has surpassed the peak period of the former Qin Dynasty and reached a new height. Easier and faster.

Although the issue of the life of the crossbow string is still limited to a certain extent before there is a major breakthrough in materials science, it can be largely ignored when the replacement of the backup is ensured.

Therefore, Fei Qian can imitate the guerrilla tactics of the later generations who shoot one shot to change places, without the need for Gong Jun and Ling Jie to lead the team to fight hand-to-hand, which greatly reduces the loss of soldiers.

In particular, the sixteen-character motto, which is regarded as a classic, is really the secret method of guerrilla warfare.

Of course, the premise still requires powerful long-range weapon support, otherwise everything is empty, and the combat modes of cold weapons and hot weapons are completely different in themselves.

"So that's how it is!" Gong Jun used to lead teams to do this kind of work, but he couldn't react for a while. After Fei Qian's touch, he naturally understood, and he had the confidence to be with Yuan Jun in this mountainous area. Circumvention.

Fei Qian looked at the confident Gong Jun and Ling Jie, smiled slightly and said, "Then, what do you think is the most important thing in fighting like this?"

When Gong Jun heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Supply!"

"There is still a direction!" Ling Jie added.

Fei Qian nodded, but shook his head again and said, "You are right, but not quite right..."

Fei Qian asked Huang Xu to take out a few bronze mirrors polished with water, and said: "Using flags and mirror reflections as communication guides during the day, most of them can solve the problems of communication and detection of directions. Resupply, although the transfer is difficult, but You don't need to worry too much, Liang Dao has already returned to Huguan to raise food and grass, so the cost will definitely not be reduced, but the two of you haven't grasped the key point of this kind of tactics..."

Gong Jun and Ling Jie looked at each other, then bowed their hands to Fei Qian and said, "Please enlighten me, my lord!"

Fei Qian patted Ling Jie's shoulder standing beside him, and said, "With the power to keep the righteousness, wearing leather armor and a sword, how many powerful crossbows and how many crossbow bolts can you bring while ensuring that you can climb the mountains freely?"

Ling Jie pondered for a while, and said: "You should be able to bring two strong crossbows, um, maybe three are also fine, if there are too many, it will inevitably hinder your actions...Thirty crossbows? Or forty?"

Gong Jun also nodded on the other side, indicating that the number is about the same.It's not that you can't bring more strong crossbows, but the strong crossbow itself is quite heavy, and you also need to bring stringers, replacement crossbow strings, dry food, water bladders, camping blankets and other utensils...

These bits and pieces add up to a lot of weight, and carrying the march for a long time is not a small burden even for Gong Jun and others who are sturdy.

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Therefore, if both of you focus on the number of soldiers shot and killed, you will lose the greatest advantage of this method of warfare! Remember! Emphasize it again! It is not just to kill ordinary soldiers, but to Take advantage of the unpreparedness and kill the non-commissioned officers! Shoot the generals! Burn the food, grass and luggage! Even when it is not raining, lure them to pursue and enter the ambush circle where the hay is laid and the fire oil is sprinkled! Let Yuan Jun go up and down. This is the most important!"

Although Fei Qian spoke harshly, Gong Jun and Ling Jie's eyes became brighter and brighter, and they even seemed to be shining brightly. Even in the rain and fog, they could still feel the murderous aura and fighting spirit overflowing from their bodies!

"Your subordinate understands! Don't worry, my lord! Yuan Jun must be frightened! This mountain and this valley is the place where Yuan Jun will be buried!" Gong Jun and Ling Jie replied proudly.

Fei Qian nodded with a smile, and asked Gong Jun and Ling Jie to go down and discuss how to cooperate, how to advance, how to ambush, etc. Fei Qian did not intend to directly interfere in these specific matters, but fully let them Gong Jun and Ling Jie exerted their subjective initiative, which played a great role in cultivating middle and high-level generals.

Fei Qian didn't give any specific map, let alone take out a kit or something...

Like the Song and Ming dynasties, before the generals went into battle, they even painted a picture of the formation, and asked the generals to put out the eight-door golden lock formation, the nine-curved Yellow River formation, etc., in fact, they were all those who did not go to the battlefield at all. "Zhao Kuo" reincarnated is purely a YY in the rear.

Even if these formations really have the so-called miraculous effect, what if there is a huge rock or a huge pit in the place where the formation is drawn?It cannot be changed according to local conditions, but the things on paper are not of much practical significance, and in this way, if you win, it will be the credit of the ghosts in the rear. If things go on like this, who else would be willing to fight?

It is necessary to seize power and delegate power.

This is the truth that Fei Qian has realized in Zhengxi's position in the workplace for many years.

The mountains and rain are misty, and the mountains seem to be covered with a layer of tulle, which is full of immortality, but who can know that in fact, in this mountain, there is a murderous aura, and there are murderous intentions lurking everywhere?

　Happy holidays everyone!
