Qiming 1158

Chapter 118 Able to Bend and Extend
This night, most of the soldiers of the Shengjie Army slept very sweetly and very deeply.

In a day and a half, there were two battles in a row, and there was a rapid march. They had already squeezed out their physical strength, and they were able to sleep until now, which is considered a strong willpower.

The prisoners of war also hurried to sleep, preparing for an uncertain tomorrow with various moods.

Although everyone fell asleep, Su Yonglin, who had been fighting for a day and a half, was full of thoughts and had trouble falling asleep.

He sat alone on the high platform by the Wenshui River, looking at the boats on the river, silent.

After finishing some chores, Tian Guizi walked over to Su Yonglin and put a dress on him.

"It's stuffy and hot in the summer, isn't it a bit redundant for you to put on my clothes?"

Su Yonglin turned his head and looked at Tian Guizi with a smile.

"Even if it's sultry, you can't just sit by the river in a single shirt and let the wind blow. Alang is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and there must be no problem, otherwise the entire army will fall into chaos, which is very dangerous for the entire Shengjie army. things."

Tian Guizi was serious.

Su Yonglin smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly.

"Okay, you can say whatever you want, I'll listen to you."

"This is my subordinate's responsibility."

Tian Guizi was still serious.

In this regard, Su Yonglin still appreciates it.

"Guzi, do you know what I was thinking just now?"

"What Alang thinks is probably how to defeat the golden thief faster and overthrow Jinting faster."

"No matter how much I think about victory, I won't think about it every day."

Su Yonglin shook his head and smiled, then sighed and said, "I was thinking just now why the Jin Army, which was obviously stronger than our army, would fail, and our army won."

"It's simple, Alang did the right thing, and the golden thief didn't."

"What is the right thing to do?"

"This……"

"When I was talking to that Jiagu Asu before, he asked me a question, which I thought was very interesting."

"what is the problem?"

Tian Guizi asked curiously.

"He asked me how many people escaped when we marched here in a hurry. I said that no one escaped, only dozens of people were injured by falls and dozens of people were sprained. I was very distressed, and he was very surprised."

Su Yonglin narrowed his eyes and looked at the water surface: "I hadn't figured it out before, but now I understand why he was so surprised."

"why?"

"Because he can't."

Su Yonglin said in a deep voice: "I can take the Shengjie Army to attack overnight, finish the distance that would take half a day to run ahead of time, and even launch a surprise attack before dawn to catch him off guard, but he can't do it, no matter what. Can't do it.

Why are the golden thieves marching so slowly?Why was it given us so much time to set up the battlefield and block the river?The reason may be here, he can't march quickly, because once he marches fast, I am afraid that his soldiers will run away before they reach Tai'an. "

Tian Guizi frowned, suddenly feeling that the question was interesting.

"Alang, do you mean that the hearts of the gold thieves are not aligned, but we are united?"

"It can also be said, but it can also show that we know why we are fighting, we know why we are fighting this battle with all our lives, we are willing to fight, and everyone is working hard, knowing that every time they kill What an enemy means.

The golden thief is different. From top to bottom, there may be few people in the army of golden thieves who know why they are fighting, so naturally it is not a whole, but a mess. Joining the army is also forced. While marching, there will be people trying to escape. .

For us, the rapid march is a magic weapon to defeat the enemy, and for many people in the golden thief army, it is a good time to escape the battlefield and the control of the officers. Once the army is rushed, the escape rate of the soldiers will increase greatly, and they cannot control it at all. "

Tian Guizi took a deep breath and realized.

"It turns out that those golden soldiers are not willing to fight at all, either to loot to make money, or because they are forced to helpless, so they will try their best to escape the battlefield, and the normal march can still be controlled. Once the march is rushed..."

"Regardless of those who want to escape or those who don't want to escape, they will be left behind on a large scale. If the journey is long, if 1 people set off, it would be considered a good elite if there are five or six thousand at the destination. Therefore, since ancient times, long-distance raids have been a great test for generals. and army problems."

Su Yonglin said this, Tian Guizi was enlightened.

"It turns out that, in this way, Alang, our army is not only relying on brand-new weapons to defeat the enemy and win."

Su Yonglin nodded.

"It has never been the case. The person who uses the weapon is the person, and the person can play a decisive role. The weapon is only an auxiliary."

He knew this, he knew that the weapons gap between the Qing army and the British army during the Opium War was not so great that they were hanged and beaten.

There is no qualitative difference between the gunpowder used by the two sides.

During the war, in the stage of musket and artillery shooting, the Qing army could fight back and forth with the British army, but when the shooting was over and the British army charged with bayonets and charged forward to fight hand-to-hand, the Qing army was completely unable to confront, Broken at the touch.

At that time, the British musketeers were very powerful and highly organized, while the musketeers of the Qing army were only responsible for shooting guns, and those responsible for hand-to-hand combat were not responsible for shooting.

The hand-to-hand combat troops were also unable to compete with the British army because they had been neglected for a long time.

The irony is that after more than 100 years of time, the brand-new Chinese army has been able to fight against a powerful enemy far superior to its own with extremely high training, organization and equipment, and force it to draw with the opponent.

Doesn't this prove anything?

"The soldiers of our army all cherish the deep pain of the golden thief, and they also have their own grief. After being enlightened by our army, they will naturally understand why they are so miserable.

Once they understand this truth, they are completely different from the past, and let them go back to the old days, and they will feel that they are out of tune with everything around them.

They will not be able to bear the oppressive air, they will feel unable to breathe, and they will fight at all costs for the right to breathe freely! "

With that said, Su Yonglin stood up and patted Tian Guizi's shoulder.

"Guzi, aren't you the same?"

Tian Guizi lowered his head and was silent for a while, thinking of the days when he was on the verge of starvation, his heart throbbing in pain, and for a moment, he really had a feeling of being unable to breathe.

"exactly."

"Let more people understand why they are so miserable, why they can't turn over, and then tell them how to turn over, then they will be our most loyal and firm companions, no matter whether they are marching fast or disadvantaged, as long as they have hope, they will never It will disperse, this point, the golden thief can't do it anyway!"

Su Yonglin took a deep breath: "On this basis, give them enough training, food and equipment, and they will be invincible in the world."

Tian Guizi exhaled in one breath, and his heart suddenly felt as if it was on fire.

"Alang, let's attack Dongping Mansion! If we seize Dongping Mansion, Dongping Mansion has mountains and water, population and grain, as well as iron and coal mines. That is very important to us!"

Su Yonglin paced by the river.

"Dongping Mansion, but the place that our leader Zhao wants to occupy, and it is also the base camp of the golden thieves. It gathers the most supplies and has the most troops and horses, and we are already exhausted. We need to rectify this. It’s not a good opportunity to attack.”

Speaking of Zhao Kaishan, Tian Guizi looked unhappy.

"The golden thieves marched from Dongping Mansion to attack Tai'an Prefecture, and our army counterattacked, as it is right and proper, no one can say anything, even if it is Commander Zhao, what can he say? As long as we occupy Dongping Mansion first and fulfill the established facts, he can how?"

"Even so, how should we deal with the many soldiers and horses in the golden thief base camp, as well as the many prisoners of war in our army?"

Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi.

Tian Guizi was silent for a while.

"This……"

"Defeat this golden soldier is already our army's full strength at the moment. It is not a good strategy to continue the attack, so no matter what, we must rectify the army and recuperate before we can consider other things."

"But Alang, Dongping House..."

"Guzi, I know what you mean."

Su Yonglin stopped and turned to look at Tian Guizi: "When did I say I don't want Dongping Mansion? Most of those signing troops and civilian husbands are from Dongping Mansion. I plan to incorporate them. Of course, Dongping Mansion is indispensable. Don't worry."

"That?"

Tian Guizi looked at Su Yonglin in surprise and joy.

"Isn't there an explanation from Jiagu Asu? The golden thief still has a team to go to Yizhou. It must be a fierce battle. The rest of the Restoration Army does not have an organization like ours, and it is basically a mess of sand. Can you hold it? Still an issue.

I can't control the other states, but in Yizhou, there are our people, and there are so many new villages, and those who believe that the Shengjie Army will support the Shengjie Army, even for them, we have to help Zhao lead. Handsome. "

"That's true, but what does this have to do with Dongping Mansion?"

Su Yonglin smiled.

"I'll give him a hand, and he won't return my favor? He did that kind of thing before, and it's unpopular, and I don't care about the past."

"This... Alang has no last resort."

Tian Guizi had nothing to say, he could only express his admiration.

This work is done without leakage, even if it is to grab the territory, it can be taken in an upright manner, and there is no moral taint, and no one can say that it is not.

"It's not the time for us to turn our backs. Before we defeat the main force of the golden thief, we have to deal with it, and we have to endure it, and try our best to take the overall situation into consideration."

Su Yonglin patted Tian Guizi's shoulder: "Being able to bend and stretch is a man."

Tian Guizi was silent for a while, then nodded to show his understanding.
