Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 549 What is elite?

Du Hongjian's command post was built on the cliff beside the valley.

This is the location Du Hongjian carefully selected based on the sand table. During the two days of rest, he took his subordinates to conduct field inspections, and finally selected this place as the command post.

Standing on the podium, Du Hongjian could clearly see the changes in the battle situation. The messenger behind him had a small flag for ordering, ready to give orders to the grassroots brigade at any time.

In order to be able to command grassroots troops, ancient generals also invented many ways of passing orders.

The most classic of nature is the sound.

Marching with drums, ringing gold and withdrawing troops, but this is generally only applicable to large-scale open battlefields, and once the battle starts, it is all up to the grass-roots generals to play by themselves, and more refined operations cannot be performed.

The military flag has become another means of command. On the battlefield, the commander of the military flag advances, and the army will follow, and each army will see the position of the flag of the respective leader on the battlefield, so as to carry out operations around the leader.

This is also the reason why ancient and modern China and foreign countries regard capturing the flag in front of the battle as equal credit for killing the opposing coach, because the flag on the battlefield represents the coach.

In addition, semaphore is also a way of sending orders.

The messenger with various flags on his body is a mobile signal station in itself.

After an order from the command post, the orderly will plant the combination of flags representing the corresponding order on his body.

When these messengers are put on the battlefield, the officers who see them will command the troops according to the orders represented by the flags.

This method is naturally much simpler than sending soldiers to the battlefield to find grassroots commanders to issue orders, and it is convenient to pass messages on the chaotic battlefield.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the banners of orders became a symbol of command power, and the commanders at the grassroots level were also called "small flags".

In terrain like a valley, it is difficult to command operations with the sound of drums. Du Hongjian used the method of sending flags to command operations remotely from a high platform.

At the entrance of the valley on the other side, Xue Hu just stood on a big rock, he observed the battlefield with a telescope, and said to Fang Jianguo, "This time we want to win, and win beautifully, are you ready?"

Fang Jianguo was already wearing his armor and said, "Don't worry about the strategy! This battle must be won!"

After saying this, Fang Jianguo got off the podium with a wooden gun, mounted his horse and rushed into the battlefield.

Du Fu stood behind Xue Hu. As Captain Zhechong, although he was also a military officer, according to Longyou's division, he was a civilian officer, and he didn't need to lead troops to fight.

He was also called to the command platform to watch the battle. Xue Hu looked at the opposite army for a while, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Du Fu also picked up the binoculars, but he didn't know anything about military affairs, so he didn't see anything tricky after watching it for a long time.

Seeing how confused Du Fu was, Xue Hu explained with a smile: "Captain Du, what I'm laughing at is that Shuofang's army claims to be elite, but they are not even as good as your recruits."

Hearing his soldiers, Du Fu quickly picked up the binoculars, but after looking at them for a long time, he still couldn't see anything.

Xue Hu saw that Du Fu was really ignorant of military affairs, so he said: "The terrain in the canyon is complicated, and there are many trails, so every time we go to a place, some soldiers should be left to guard the side roads to prevent being disturbed by the enemy."

Du Fu nodded. The entire canyon is an irregular circle, full of potholes like a small maze.

If soldiers are not left to guard the various forks and trails, if the enemy detours to attack from the rear, it will cause huge confusion to the frontline troops.

Du Hongjian is worthy of being a teacher of Guo Ziyi, and he is a stable word in war.

He has already remembered every important fork in the road, and he will leave some soldiers to guard every fork.

But Du Fu looked over, and those soldiers who were left to guard the fork in the road soon relaxed after the army left.

Some of them leaned against trees to rest, and some simply fished in nearby streams.

On the side of the Hexi Army, soldiers were also left to guard the side road.

Moreover, Fang Jianguo basically assigned three recruits from the Zhechong Mansion to take charge of this work.

I only saw that the soldiers in Hexi were assigned the task of guarding the forked road, and under the division of labor by the grassroots commanders, they each found a place to lurk.

A player instructor that Du Fu often saw in Zhechong Mansion put all his men in white clothes and hid them in the snowy valley. If you look carefully with a telescope, you can't see his position at all.

Moreover, all the new troops in Hexi stayed at their posts, and none of them cheated, played tricks, slept or fished.

A sense of accomplishment ignited in Du Fu's heart, at least he didn't worry about Zhe Chongfu in vain, these recruits are really up to date!

On the frontal battlefield, Du Guangjian, Du Hongjian's nephew, was the forward envoy. His task was to lead a thousand elite troops straight to the wooden bunker in the center.

Although it is just a wooden bunker, engineering tools are not allowed in this military exercise, so the side that occupies the wooden bunker will definitely gain a great advantage.

Du Guang is in his 30s, which is the time when an officer is in the prime of life and has the will to fight.

He likes to wear a red cape, and the Shuofang army calls him "General Red Robe". At this time, the red robe that is hunting on the battlefield is the best command signal for the entire vanguard army, and 1000 people just follow Du Guang to march in a hurry.

Du Guang is very proud of his marching speed.

When he was 20 years old, he joined the Shuofang Army. He once led 100 men to a long-distance raid on the grassland for hundreds of miles, caught up with the remnants of the Tiele people who took control of the grassland seriously, and personally beheaded a son of Tiele Khan.

No one can be faster than me, Du Guang!

This is Du Guang's idea, and it is also the consensus of Shuofang Army.

Du Hongjian's battle plan was to let Du Guang march quickly to the wooden fortress, and then hold on to wait for the rear troops.

Relying on the wooden fortress, Du Guang can definitely hold out until his own army arrives. At that time, he can annihilate the Hexi army that surrounded the fort with a combination of inside and outside.

There was no problem with Du Hongjian's plan, but Xue Hu, who was standing on the podium, had already seen the changes in the battlefield situation.

And he had already shared the battle situation with Fang Jianguo, who commanded the battle at the front, through the sharing function.

Du Guang's troops rushed too far!

Du Hongjian, who was standing on the cliff, also discovered this flaw, because the soldiers in the rear were unfamiliar with the terrain and had already distanced themselves from Du Guang.

It stands to reason that this weakness on the battlefield is nothing, as long as Du Guang successfully captures the wooden bunker, the troops behind will follow suit.

But Du Hongjian felt a little flustered for no reason.

Xue Hu, who was acting as a reconnaissance radar on his command platform, also discovered this flaw.

Looking at myself, the former army led by Fang Jianguo was not far from the wooden bunker.

Using the in-game communicator, Xue Hu said to Fang Jianguo: "Fang Jianguo, can you hurry up and ambush the enemy's salient in front of the bunker?"

Fang Jianguo immediately said: "I promise to complete the task!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Jianguo immediately issued an order to the first-level players under his command: "March quickly! Set up an ambush in front of Point A before the enemy!"

The [-] elite troops led by Fang Jianguo are all the most elite troops reorganized by the various armies in Hexi, and they are the elite troops that Zhang Wu broke through in those days.

The King of Yue bestowed the title of "Championship", which is the most mobile force in Hexi.

All the officers of this regiment are played by players, and the training is the hardest on weekdays, but the treatment is also the best.

After Fang Jianguo gave the order, all levels of player officers from the brigade commander began to order, and the entire champion team quickly broke away from the main force and rushed to the wooden bunker in the center of the battlefield.

The soldiers of the champion regiment all wore new military uniforms, and they all wore leggings for the hasty march.

The elite of the elite who followed Zhang Wu over the Daxue Mountain and raided Dadouba Valley behind his back, the champion team was No.1 in several training competitions, worthy of the title of "champion"!

Every soldier's face was suffocated, and they marched quickly in the potholed valley as if they were walking on flat ground, rushing towards the wooden bunker.

On Du Guang's side, because of the officers' constant urging, many ordinary soldiers had sore calves, and even some officers were out of breath.

The valley was muddy and potholed, so it was impossible to ride a horse. Although Shuofang's army was elite, they seldom did field endurance training.

Du Guang rode a pony and kept urging his officers to speed up. He even held a whip to whip the soldiers who fell behind.

Although under his urging, the marching speed was temporarily accelerated, but the morale of the entire army continued to decline.

"Oops!"

Du Hongjian on the cliff saw that something was wrong, so he quickly dispatched the messengers around him to remind Du Guang to pay attention to the ambush.

But the messenger rushed out, and Du Hongjian still felt that something was wrong. Du Guang really rushed too far. I'm afraid the messenger didn't catch up with him, and he was about to collide with the enemy.

After walking around irritably for two times, Du Hongjian sighed again, why did the Hexi Army walk so fast?Now we can only see Du Guang's response to the battle.

In just a moment, Fang Jianguo had already seen the wooden bunker.

However, he didn't all enter the bunker, but ordered some of the soldiers to rush in, while the other part of the soldiers lay in ambush, quietly waiting for the enemy's forward.

Du Guang, who didn't know it, was still complacent. As long as he occupied the bunker, he would be the biggest contributor to this military exercise.

When Du Guang was still dreaming of being praised by his uncle, he also saw the spire of the wooden bunker.

Du Guang said to the left and right: "Let everyone hurry up!"

The order was quickly conveyed, and the team that was already in chaos due to the long-distance march became even more chaotic.

The soldier's intuition made Du Guang even more uneasy. He didn't even send out enough scouts to investigate the situation in the nearby woods in order to march in a hurry.

Too bad, it was really preempted!
"My Hexi Army will come first!"

Just when Du Guang was about to rush to the bunker, the [-] Hexi troops who had already entered the bunker shouted at Du Guangda in unison.

The shocking shout changed Du Guang's expression greatly, and the pony under his crotch was frightened and almost threw him out.

The soldiers of the Champion Battalion poked out their heads from behind the wooden wall of the bunker, and lifted their helmets against wooden sticks, pretending to be a large number of people.

At first glance, it seemed that thousands of soldiers had rushed into the bunker, and now Du Guang was even more afraid to attack.

Du Guangjun, who was already a little confused due to the long-distance raid, was immediately demoralized by the enemy troops emerging from the bunker.

Just when Du Guang was about to bring back the striker and meet with the Chinese army to make a long-term plan, a terrible thought came to his mind:
"Oops, what if the enemy ambushes?"

Du Guang had also experienced with Du Hongjian, so he immediately thought of this possibility.

But when people have bad luck, they always run into bad luck one after another.

Fang Jianguo, who was ambushing nearby, led the crowd to rush out.

Fang Jianguo held up a wooden gun without a tip, and shouted loudly: "You are surrounded!"

As soon as the words fell, after the sound of orderly footsteps, the Champion Battalion surrounded Du Guang's vanguard army!
