Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 531 Training
Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi stood side by side on the mountain, watching Jing Zhao and Jing Ping father and son in the distance with clairvoyance.Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they believed that Jing Zhao's face at the moment would definitely not look good.

Liang Xiao frightened Jingping, and almost put all the people into the work of transshipment.In three days, they evacuated most of the camp and built a position on the ridge.Now they have enough food and grass, their positions are stable, and they have a lot of arrows and weapons, enough to last for more than a year.

This is a great adventure.As long as Jing Ping has a little courage and launches an attack, they may suffer disaster.It is precisely because of the great risk that the joy of success is even sweeter.At this time, Zhao Yingqi had already forgotten how nervous he was at that time, and was very happy, wanting to dance and dance.

"It's a pity." Liang Xiao looked at the camp in the distance, feeling a little regretful. "If you give me two more days, I can evacuate the entire camp. Now, I have to burn it."

"Burn it, burn it." Zhao Yingqi waved his hand nonchalantly, with a face of a rich second generation who doesn't know how expensive money is. "Rather than leave it to Jing Zhao, it's better to burn it."

Liang Xiao really wanted to keep the food and grass, but the situation was so pressing that he could only burn it.The order came out, and the knights who stayed in the camp set fire to the remaining provisions and tents.It didn't take long for thick smoke to rise from the camp, and the flames shot straight into the sky.

Seeing the fire in the baggage camp and the knights galloping out, Jing Zhao's cheeks twitched twice, and he stomped his feet and sighed.He still wanted to take back those belongings, but he didn't expect that Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi didn't give him this chance at all, and set them on fire.In addition to heartache, he was even more frightened.He looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally shook his head helplessly.

"Son, you didn't deserve to lose. We met two extremely vicious opponents."

Jing Ping looked at the thick smoke covering the sky in the distance, and was silent.He also saw that Liang Xiao didn't intend to leave him a rice at all, as long as he attacked, Liang Xiao would set fire to it.The only difference is that his hesitation gave Liang Xiao the opportunity to carry as much food and grass as possible.

After seeing the decisiveness of Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao, Jing Zhao was even more sure that their strength was limited.He didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the army to camp at the foot of Shiliu Ridge, surrounded on all sides, and nothing could get through.In order to prevent Zhao Guang from rushing to support him, he arranged guards on several mountains to trap Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao to death in Shiliu Ridge.

At the same time, Jing Zhao sent someone to send a letter to Yu Shan, asking for food and military support.One is the prince of Nanyue, and the other is the champion of the Han Dynasty. I believe they are attractive enough to Yu Shan.

When Jing Zhao camped, Liang Xiao kept watching from the top of the mountain.Seeing the big battalion of the Minyue Army taking shape under the ridge, and seeing Jing Zhao's battle flag fluttering in the wind, he breathed a sigh of relief.Jing Zhao once again followed his long-standing habit and followed the scriptures.Even though he burned the rest of the supplies and pushed Jing Zhao into a predicament where he might run out of food, Jing Zhao still adopted the tactics of siege according to the tactics of ten sieges, rather than a quick battle.

Sure enough, as long as there is a routine opponent, it is always easier to deal with.Those who are difficult to deal with are those who do not play cards according to common sense.Huan Yuan often said that it is indispensable to rely on the right and the right, to defend with the right, and to attack with the odd.Jing Zhao is cautious by nature, he is upright when he is upright, but he is not so good when he uses oddities.Just like Cheng Bushi, although it is unlikely to suffer a disastrous defeat, it is not easy to make meritorious deeds.

If the two sides switched positions, Liang Xiao would definitely not take this approach.Soldiers are expensive to win, not long, not to mention the destruction of the supply camp, which cannot be delayed at all.At this time, you should use your strength to launch a strong attack and look for opportunities in the battle instead of waiting.The lone army goes deep, and the strength of the troops is very different. No matter how much food and grass there is, the morale is by no means invulnerable.In a fierce battle, of course, the side with insufficient troops is more likely to collapse.

In the Battle of Pengcheng that year, Xiang Yu used 56 riders to attack Liu Bang's [-] army. It was the combination of courage and wisdom that created a myth.

Obviously, Jing Zhao did not have such courage and wisdom.

This is the opportunity God gave me to Liang Xiao. It seems that the traveler still has some benefits. At least he is lucky. He has a master like Huan Yuan, but he doesn't meet an opponent like Huan Yuan.Liang Xiao pinched his fingers and raised his eyebrows slightly.

-

The army surrounded the mountains, and the Nanyue knights were very panicked, but Jing Zhao didn't attack in time and missed this opportunity.

When the South Vietnamese knights calmed down and got used to the Jingzhao camp at the foot of the mountain, the crisis was resolved unexpectedly.Although Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi did not dare to slack off, they did not show any uneasiness.On the surface, they can even be regarded as the mountain collapsed in front of them without changing their expressions, and they have the style of generals.

Turning the danger into a bargain and keeping things calm, the two naturally wanted to flatter each other. After boasting to the point of embarrassment, Liang Xiao asked, "His Royal Highness, is it true that the King of Qin won't send troops?"

Zhao Yingqi was playing with a fiery red pomegranate fruit, looking at the Fujian-Vietnam army camp at the foot of the mountain, he was silent, his smile gradually faded away, and his brows were a little cold.He knew that Zhao Guang didn't want to come to rescue him, but he didn't expect that Zhao Guang wouldn't even act.So far, he has not received any news from Zhao Guang.In Zhao Guang's eyes, did he, the crown prince and nephew, become a dead body?
Knowing that Liang Xiao might be provoking, Zhao Yingqi still felt very angry.He just didn't want to show it in front of Liang Xiao.

"Maybe it was blocked by Jing Zhao." Zhao Yingqi said slowly: "Although Liangshan is not very high, it is not easy to climb over. Jing Zhao has prepared, and my Uncle Wang has to attack by force if he wants to come over."

"If that's the case, then you can only count on our Han army." Liang Xiao sat down on a boulder, crossed his legs, and swayed gently. "I hope Han said that their trip went well, otherwise, we may have to go back in despair, and this surprise attack will become a joke."

Zhao Yingqi's expression became even uglier.If it is really going to end up being rescued by the Han army in the end, Nanyue's face will really be lost.He resented Zhao Guang endlessly.Even if you have selfish intentions, you have to maintain Nanyue's face.With the internal conflicts so exposed to the Han envoys, how can they bargain with the Chang'an court in the future, and how can they maintain the relative independence of South Vietnam.If Nanyue can't become independent, how can he, the King of Qin, still succeed?

Either way, he couldn't do it.As long as I can get back alive, I must impeach him.

Zhao Yingqi gritted her teeth secretly.

Liang Xiao took in Zhao Yingqi's ferocious expression from the corner of his eye, and laughed to himself.However, when I think of my own situation, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.Internal conflicts always take precedence over external ones. This is a helpless and unsolvable tragedy.

He turned his head and looked around, seeing many soldiers practicing in the woods, he nodded with satisfaction.Surrounded by the army, the army's morale is not disturbed, and it can be relaxed. Although it has something to do with Jing Zhao's slow personality, the calmness of him and Zhao Yingqi also set a good example.Zhao Yingqi is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but he fights wits and courage with his opponents, and only by taking the initiative at every step can he be calm now.

This is also a rare experience, although Jing Zhao and his son are not really strong opponents.

In the woods, the South Vietnamese soldiers were practicing. Liang Xiao watched for a while, and suddenly frowned.These people were originally Lu Xiang's cavalry, but the Nanyue people were not Huns, and riding and archery was not a habit developed since childhood, so dismounting and fighting on foot would not weaken their combat effectiveness much.Lu Xiang is in command of the Imperial Army, who can be considered elite in both stature and physical fitness.But from Liang Xiao's point of view, their level of foot combat was obviously inferior to that of Zhao Guang's subordinates.

What they practice is basically personal skills and tactics, and there is no coordination at all.To put it nicely, everyone is vying for the first place; to put it bluntly, it's just a bunch of mobs.

how could this be?

Liang Xiao was surprised.For a long time, he trained these people's riding and archery level, never considering their infantry combat ability.If these people are all at this level, how can they face Jing Zhao's attack? "Your Highness, aren't these...the real elites of the South Vietnam Forbidden Army?"

"Yes." Zhao Yingqi was eating a pomegranate, his mouth was full of water.

"Then who is stronger between them and Zhao Guang's subordinates?"

"Of course Zhao Guang's subordinates are strong." Zhao Yingqi laughed. "The imperial army is in charge of the capital, oh, it's Panyu's security, that is, saving a fire, catching a thief, where there is any chance of actual combat. Zhao Guang is different. He is a rare warrior in South Vietnam. For more than half a year, he fought against the barbarians."

Liang Xiao suddenly realized.That's right, South Vietnam has been at peace for a long time, and Panyu is the royal city, so the law and order nearby is naturally the best. Under the Huairou policy of Zhao Tuo in the surrounding counties, there is no large-scale rebellion. A general like Zhao Guang is enough to deal with it, and the forbidden army has no actual combat. How could it be possible to have such a strong fighting power.

The foot combat ability of these knights is actually similar to their riding and shooting ability before training, not as good as he imagined.

"Your Highness, what we have to face is more than ten times the number of Minyue troops. If there is no..."

Liang Xiao stopped and didn't continue talking.Zhao Yingqi glanced at him, not caring. "Junhou, if you have any thoughts, just say it directly, I listen to you, you are right."

"If you want to win more with less, you need courage, but objective conditions are also necessary. Geographical advantage is one aspect, and the training of soldiers is also another aspect. Your Highness, we should strengthen the training of soldiers before Jing Zhao launches an attack."

"Okay." Zhao Yingqi agreed without thinking.Liang Xiao helped Lu Xiang train the cavalry, which has proved his ability to train soldiers.Liang Xiao was willing to help him train his pawns, so why was he not willing?His only worry was: "Will it be too late?"

Liang Xiao was also thinking about this question, he pondered for a while. "It should be in time." However, what he said in his heart was: "I hope it will be in time, or I will die."

"Then go do it." Zhao Yingqi took out a handful of pomegranate seeds, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed until the juice flowed.

Liang Xiao immediately called the fifty elders together.

Shichang is tenth long, including himself, there are ten soldiers in total.This is the inherited Qin system. The main force of the South Vietnamese Army came from the Qin Army. Their system and tactics also have a strong shadow of the Qin Army, but there have been certain changes in specific tactics.How much changes vary from person to person.The field troops led by Zhao Guang have changed a lot and are more suitable for actual combat.The Forbidden Army led by Lu Xiang retained more tactics of the Qin Army because they had fewer opportunities for actual combat.

In order to familiarize himself with the jungle warfare in South Vietnam, Liang Xiao and Zhao Guang conducted many sparring sessions.Now, he wants to teach these learned tactics to the knights under Lu Xiang's command.He disrupted the formation tactics inherited from the Qin army, and switched to Zhao Guangbu's small formation, with five or ten people as a combat unit to adapt to the unique terrain of the jungle.

After learning Zhao Guang's tactics, Liang Xiao was not satisfied with the status quo. He re-arranged the small formations with reference to the mandarin duck formations of the anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang.These tactics were originally reserved for the Han army to conquer South Vietnam, and were only practiced internally by Tu Niuer and others.In order to ensure that he can repel Jing Zhao's attack and live longer, he had to expose these training plans in advance.

He made five Qin soldiers stand back and forth, and improved the fighting method of two armies side by side. Three sabers and shields were in front, holding shields and long knives in close combat. Shieldmen attack enemies.The three crossbowmen dragged behind and used crossbows as weapons to carry out long-range attacks. With sword shields and spearmen covering them in front, they could use crossbows with peace of mind even in close combat.When necessary, they can also serve as swordsman or spearman, participating in close combat.

Finally, there are two sword and shield players. They serve as a reserve force and guard against enemies from the rear.

Liang Xiao organized fifty commanders into five teams, and took turns following Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo to practice new tactics. After they became familiar with the tactics, they would go back to Geshi to teach them to their subordinates.In order to encourage them to accept the new tactics and practice hard, Liang Xiao also set up reward and punishment measures, agreeing to hold a competition every five days, the winners will be rewarded, and the losers will be punished.

With Zhao Yingqi's unreserved support and the majesty accumulated in previous riding and shooting training, Liang Xiao didn't encounter too much resistance, and the training quickly started in full swing.In the woods, among the mountains, you can see South Vietnamese soldiers fighting in formations everywhere.

The training of the new formation further stabilized the morale of the army, and the South Vietnamese soldiers devoted themselves to the training without any distractions, and they had little time to think about the Fujian and Yue troops at the foot of the mountain.And Jing Zhao never attacked, patiently waiting for news from Yu Shan.One of the two sides is on the ridge and the other is down the ridge, but there is nothing wrong with each other.

Jing Zhao doesn't have clairvoyance, so he doesn't know what happened to Lingshang Zhuyi.He actually sent a lot of scouts to investigate, but unfortunately Liang Xiao also sent a large number of scouts to control the surrounding highlands, not giving the Minyue Army scouts a chance.In order to create a sense of mystery and keep it as secret as possible, he even participated in patrols and sniped Minyue scouts.

Ambush and counter-ambush, infiltration and anti-infiltration, the two sides continued to fight on the surrounding mountains, and there were several small-scale fierce fights every day.Under the powerful sniping by the sharp archers headed by Liang Xiao, the scouts of the Minyue Army suffered heavy losses and their morale was frustrated.

Jing Zhao was at a loss for what to do about it, and he was eagerly waiting for news from Yu Shan.

Good news is coming soon.Yu Shan was very excited when he learned that Zhao Yingqi, the crown prince of South Vietnam, and Liang Xiao, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, were trapped in Pomegranate Ridge. He was leading [-] elites to come from Fenshui Pass on the western front, and they could arrive in half a month at most.He asked Jing Zhao to keep these two people at all costs.

After reading Yu Shan's letter, Jing Zhao let out a long breath.
