Chapter 2349 Should be shouldered
The soldiers of the Zhang family broke up all the way, making Shangyong''s plan to fortify the walls and clear the fields that was about to be implemented a joke.
Forty or fifty miles away from Shangyong, there is a small square city.
There are trees fifty steps north of the city...
Uh, we got crossed.
This was originally a military village, but it was gradually expanded into a city. It is very small, with a main street leading from the beginning to the end.
A **** and muddy cavalry slowly entered the city, and then stopped at the small square at the end of the street. The cavalry dismounted one after another, some dismounted to loosen their belts for their big men, some sat down on the corner of the roadside shaking their legs panting, and some went to fetch water from the well at the corner of the small square. The sound of people and horses in the square became noisy.
There were originally some soldiers of the Zhang family in Fangcheng, but they were charged by the rebellious army. In addition to the guards in this place, there is a high probability that they belong to the ranks of timid and incompetent people. When they saw that the momentum was not right, they abandoned Fang The city fled to Shangyong, and gave up the place without even fighting.
Among these cavalrymen, Mao San was tremblingly untiing the saber tied to his hand. In order not to be unable to grasp the handle of the knife due to sweat and blood infiltration during the battle, many people choose to tie the sword directly to their hands, but it is easy to tie the dry cloth strips. It''s a little difficult.
I don’t know if it was because of fatigue after a long battle, or because the cloth was sticky after the blood had solidified, anyway, it took a long time to untie it. Mao San’s arm even trembled a little, and after adjusting his breath for a while, he began to wipe the sword. After a battle, you can''t store the sword immediately, it must be cleaned up, just like the kitchen knife needs to be washed and wiped before putting it away after use, flesh and blood are corrosive...
Perhaps it was because Hou Wu was stronger and looked a little better than Mao San. He had finished packing his armor and weapons, and was standing by the well in the small square, exposing his body, revealing his skin stained with various bloodstains and stains. Bending over, not caring about his little brother dangling under his crotch, he picked up a bucket of water three times and two times, first took a couple of sips from the bucket, and then raised the wooden bucket, Fall from head to bottom.
『Ha... so cool...』
Hou Wuha yelled twice.
Although the well water in winter is lukewarm, it cannot be said to be warm. When it is stirred on the body, a white mist rises.
There were also a few other cavalrymen who, like Hou Wu, rushed to get water from the well, and took a shower by the mouth of the well with bare buttocks, splashing on the other soldiers who were fetching water for the horses to drink, causing a burst of laughter and scolding. .
Then more cavalry joined in, "It''s cool..."
Among the laughter, excitement, publicity and fatigue were mixed together.
Zhu Ling''s cavalry tactics, the attack speed is really too fast, so fast that even the cavalry in these troops feel a little surprised and shocked.
There is a saying in the art of war, "Therefore it is as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, as plundering as fire, as immovable as a mountain, as difficult to know as cloud, as moving as thunder." 』This point of the law of military warfare is generally known to those who have read Sun Tzu''s Art of War, but it is not easy for an army to achieve this level.
However, this time, it really has this taste. Of course, it is also inseparable from the cooperation of Zhang''s soldiers, one is strong and powerful, the other is petite and weak, just right.
From the beginning of contact to the present stationed for repairs, one day and one night, it was really like a long knife out of its sheath, rushing down in one breath, sacrificing one''s life and forgetting to die, with nowhere to go. Many small teams like Mao San Hou Wu, separated and combined, gathering and dispersing impermanently, captured all the large and small villages and vassal military defenses around Shangyong in one go!
This is a unique tactic belonging to the hussars, and it is also a new combat mode for the current cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
The cavalry is no longer a vassal of the infantry, and it is not necessary to capture all the cities. When the elite soldiers of the Han people are combined with the gathering and scattering tactics of the Hu people, they form the only hussars and iron cavalry of the Han.
The transformation of this model began with Taishici''s attack on Yecheng, and the use of hussars gradually got rid of infantry and gradually became a completely independent individual on the battlefield. The improvement of armor and equipment has enabled these cavalry to play flexible and changeable tactics around the advancing forage supply convoy.
The core weakness of this tactic is the forage supply brigade slowly advancing in the center. However, if the general army wants to pass over the cavalry on the outside and get in touch with these forage supply brigades, it must first withstand the attacks of the cavalry detachments surrounding it...
That’s right, doesn’t it look familiar?
It should look familiar.
General military ration standards, general equipment standards, general battle orders, and general supplementary supplies. If all the cavalry are exhausted, they don’t necessarily need to return to the forage supply brigade. You only need to find the adjacent cavalry to replenish them a little. Some…
This combat mode, which was born out of the battle group of the sea fleet in later generations, was first proposed by Hussar General Fei Qian in the lecture hall, and then after Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao and others continued to improve it, it is now used by Zhu Ling, and it is the same. It was so sharp that it completely fooled the Zhang''s defenders around Shangyong.
Once this mode is launched, it is like cavalry for a hundred miles! The cavalry coming and going suddenly created a huge momentum, which made almost all Zhang''s Shangyong defenders think that this time they were attacked by at least tens of thousands of cavalry!
Under such a "huge" offensive situation, if you don''t run away quickly, are you still waiting to die?
Zhu Ling also entered Fangcheng with the forage supply team.
Compared with ordinary cavalry sergeants, a tactical commander like Zhu Ling can better understand what such a combat mode means to the current big man.
During the battle this time, in some local areas, the number of cavalry may not be as large as that of Zhang''s soldiers, but they can still defeat Zhang''s soldiers cleanly and neatly. In addition to the attack bonus of cavalry against infantry, In addition, the most important thing is the aura of the soldiers themselves, or the desire for victory, the enthusiasm for fighting, and the bravery for going into battle...
Because they once belonged to the same series, the equipment of Zhang''s soldiers is actually similar to that of ordinary Hussar soldiers.
But morale and desire to fight are no longer on the same level.
Zhu Ling has seen too many soldiers defeated because of low morale, such as Yuan Jun before, such as Zhang Jun now, but he also saw the soldiers under the hussars succeeding one after another. Go forward without fear!
There are only hussars among the mighty soldiers in the world!
『Come on, distribute the fodder! 』
Zhu Ling walked forward along the street, commanding his subordinates while walking, and then saw those rough men taking a shower at the end of the street, and laughed and cursed, "Wu Na man! It''s enough to rush, don''t blow the cold wind for too long! What about dry clothes? Quickly dry off and put on! 』
『Hou Wu! Your **** is showing! Zhu Ling pointed to Hou Wu and said with a smile, "Your robe is torn!" 』
Hou Wu looked back, then touched it, and couldn''t help shouting: "The thief stepped on the horse!" Uh, I said Hougouzi is so cold, whoosh...Uh, I said that you little children are all laughing...』
Fighting on the battlefield, I don''t know when the knife and gun cut through Hou Wu''s spare robe, and tore a big hole, which happened to be on the buttocks. The others also suppressed their laughter until Zhu Ling said it out...
Zhu Ling laughed loudly, took off his cloak, and threw it to Hou Wu, "I''ll see you off!" Carry your ass! 』
"Hahaha! Thank you Captain! Hou Wu laughed, took the cloak, put it on his body, and showed it off to Mao San on the side, "Look, the school captain likes it the most!" 』
Mao San also laughed beside him, "The captain likes your ass!" 』
"Go! Go! Go! 』
Then there was a burst of laughter.
Amidst the laughter, Zhu Ling walked towards the high platform in the city, and then took a look at some soldiers who were healing under the high platform. Slowly walked up to the high platform in the city...
The three-color flag was fluttering in the wind on the high platform. Standing under the flag, Zhu Ling looked at the cavalry on the street who were stained with blood and mud and retreated one after another to repair. With a big smile on his face of fighting spirit and high spirits, he shouted loudly, "Come on, let me ask, are you enjoying killing?" ! 』
『Hahaha, cool! Cool! 』
『Unhappy! Not killing enough! 』
The cavalry around the street also laughed and responded in a hurry.
『This battle is not over yet, may I ask if you still have any courage left? ’Zhu Ling asked loudly again.
"Have! Have! 』
The answers this time were unusually unified.
This time, not only the surrounding cavalry, but also some cavalry in the distance after a short rest, as well as the soldiers who were healing under the high platform, stood up one after another, waved their arms at Zhu Ling, raised their knives and guns, and murderous for a while Teng Teng, the momentum is like a rainbow!
『Then take a good night’s rest, set off tomorrow, and continue marching! There are still greater victories and more merits waiting for you to obtain! ”Zhu Ling waved his arms, facing the tricolor flag above his head, “The big man wins! Hussars are victorious! 』
『Wan Sheng! Victory! 』
…(▽)/(▽)/(▽)/…
People''s cognition changes with time, or changes in the times. If you stand in a later era and laugh at the behaviors of people in those times before, how ridiculous it is Lamentable, no doubt it is a ridiculous and lamentable thing in itself.
Among Sichuan and Shu, birds fly.
When the turmoil in the Shangyong area was turbulent, the fighting spirit in Sichuan and Shu was also rising.
The shadows formed by large and small clouds flowed on the ground, and then accompanied the banners.
In Sichuan and Shu, although it is said to be a basin, it is not flat land, and unlike the east-west mountains on most Chinese lands, the terrain in Sichuan and Shu has folds that run from north to south. Therefore, in this piece of land, cavalry is not its dominant arm, but more infantry.
Pillars of wolf smoke rose up, soldiers from both sides of the battle gathered, collided and crossed together, and then dispersed like waves, leaving remnants of corpses, and deserters fled in all directions.
When the scythe of death falls, it will never give human beings some early warning.
came roaring, and then devoured life in a blink of an eye.
With Yan Yan as the vanguard and Gan Ning as the rear, the troops are racing against time to recover the lost lands in Brazil and Bazhong.
When it comes to this, whether it is Wang Leidong from the Di people, Qi Zhi from the Di people, or Fan Zao, the leader of the Ba people, they all have the same idea, that is, to bring the plundered materials back to the mountains as much as possible...
Otherwise, wouldn''t this expedition be meaningless?
For Fan Zao from Ba, he is relatively more affluent, so he is the most determined retreater, even if he gave up part of the supplies, he will not hesitate to give up some supplies, but it is different for the Jin and Di people, they are reluctant.
Fan Zao was about to leave, but Jin Ren and Di Ren held her and said to play again... Bah, no, take it off again, uh, delay it.
As long as you can delay the counterattack of the three-color Han people for one more day, you will naturally be able to move one more copy back. This simple algorithm can be calculated even by an idiot, but the problem is...
Fan Zao stared at Lei Dong and Qi Zhi, because he had just received a reward.
This letter comes from a dead leader of the Ba people. Not long ago, the leader of the Ba people thought he was brave. After witnessing the disintegration of the Jin and Di people, he laughed at the escaped Jin and Di people, and despised the stupidity, timidity, and incompetence of the Jin and Di people. Said that he could ambush the Han generals who were chasing after him, and then turned defeat into victory.
As a result, the ambush of the leader of the Ba people failed, and he was chased and killed by Gan Ning and his men for three miles, and fell to the ground...
Those people who fled back from the collapse brought the news, which naturally exaggerated the number of Han soldiers, turning a hundred into a thousand, and a thousand into tens of thousands, and even vowed that there must be so many!
『The Han Chinese have so many soldiers and horses, how can we stop them? It''s better to go back to the mountains as soon as possible! Otherwise, if you really wait for the Han people to surround you, you won''t be able to run away! ”Fan Zao said bluntly, “I know you are reluctant, but if you want something, you must have your life first! No matter how many things are dead, are they useless? Listen to me, go back to the mountain, and leave now! 』
Xian Wang Leidong held back Fan Zao, "Brother Fan! Wait five more days, no, three days will be fine! three days! Wait another three days! No matter what, leave in three days! three days! 』
"Yeah, let''s wait for another three days... This is actually a bit false. You and I both know that the Han people didn''t come with so many soldiers and horses. There are tens of thousands of people. We can''t scare ourselves..." The Di people on the side Wang Qizhi also said, "It''s only three days, we gathered here, with so many people, how could it last three days!" To believe in ourselves! 』
Believe in yourself…
Believe in me, I don’t even believe in myself, but I still believe in you?
Fan Zao couldn''t help but slam the hand of the concubine Wang Leidong away, but seeing Leidong and Qi Zhi''s eyes as if they wanted to swallow people, after a moment of silence, he finally said: "Then you two say, what do you want?" Delay these three days? 』
Lei Dong and Qi Zhi glanced at each other, then pointed to the same place on the simple map beside them, "Here..."
『Bloodstone Mountain? 』
『…』Fan Zao was silent for a while, his eyes rolled around, "Then...then try it..."
"well! Both Lei Dong and Qi Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn''t know that what Fan Zao was thinking was totally different from the two of them...
…(Д三Д)…
In an unknown mountain.
In the desolate valley where the earth and rocks were mixed, tents were set up and bonfires were lit.
As the sun sets, Gan Ning and Yan Yan are sitting together.
The soldiers not far away are preparing to set up camp and prepare for dinner, and they are busy coming and going.
In the past few days, Yan Yan and Gan Ning cooperated with each other, and the cavalry and infantry cooperated to disperse those in Brazil and Bazhong to various villages. drive away.
In the final analysis, Gan Ning and Yan Yan''s troops were insufficient. This deficiency is not purely quantitative, but qualitative. To put it simply, the number of core troops who are truly loyal to the Hussar General is insufficient.
This is very troublesome.
The word loyalty, some are on the lips, some are on the action, but until the critical moment, it is often impossible to tell who is which...
In the past few days, both Yan Yan and Gan Ning have seen many people whose nostrils are usually on the top of their heads, but now after meeting them, they nod and bow down, saying they are loyal, loyal to Hushi, loyal to Chuanshu, and loyal to the big man .
So Yan Yan and Gan Ning can accept the hospitality of these people?
Fortunately, behind Yan Yan and Gan Ning, there was Xiang Lang as a logistical support, maintaining as much as possible.
Since the hussars entered Sichuan, these Sichuan and Shu gentry children, um, maybe from the day the Great Han was established, the Sichuan and Shu gentry children may not have wholeheartedly stood on the same front as the Great Han. Because it is very simple, after Liu Bang entered the pass, during the process from the King of Hanzhong to the Black Emperor, the children of the Sichuan and Shu gentry did not get any benefits beyond those of other regions.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the Guanlong Group was in power, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jizhou and Yuzhou were proud. The children of the Sichuan and Shu gentry had always been either making up the numbers or being marginalized. When it comes to behavior, it is naturally a difficult to determine the weight.
Supporting bandits to cause trouble, or raising bandits to be self-respecting, does not only happen in Longxi and Longyou.
After all, people from Sichuan and Shu are not stupid, are they?
If Gan Ning and Yan Yan had a large number of soldiers, of course they wouldn''t need to worry about it, they could fight as they liked, but now they only had a thousand soldiers in their hands, and less than two thousand soldiers of the hussar series, so of course they needed to be cautious. some.
Recruit soldiers to assist? Of course it is possible, but what about money and food? From Chengdu? Will Chengdu give it now? Tune in from a place? Are the local gentry willing? Do you really take Erwuzi seriously? If these guys are in a hurry, they will even sell Gan Ning and Yan Yan!
Like most 25-year-olds, the first thing they value must be benefits.
The Di people plundered places, and the people who suffered the most damage were not these big households in Sichuan and Shu, but ordinary farmers, or ordinary people in the middle and lower classes. This is the same everywhere.
『My opinion is, catch up! Yan Yan thought of the refugees he saw in Langzhong. After being rescued, those refugees were crying, hugging the dead bodies of their relatives, and calling for their father or children. "If you can save one more person, that''s one person!" It is for these people in Sichuan that I should fight Xu Shijun! 』
Gan Ning frowned, "This risk is too great..."
In a sense, Gan Ning has now completed the combat goal Xu Shu explained. Gan Ning and Yan Yan cooperated with each other, and they had already defeated the plan of the Jin people and Di people to continue to invade the central Sichuan, and drove them to the vicinity of Daba Mountain.
Now if we continue to pursue, we can indeed save more people in Sichuan, but if it fails...
"That''s not the case..." Yan Yan put his hands on his chest, looked at Gan Ning, some scattered snow-white beards and hairs were floating in the air, "To a certain three hundred soldiers... If you succeed, the meritorious service will belong to the general, if you lose, the blame will belong to the general." old man! At this age, the old man does not seek glory, but seeks peace of mind! 』
『I was born in Sichuan and grew up in Sichuan. With this martial arts, I will protect the safety of the people in Sichuan. Even if the future is dangerous, I will bear it on my shoulders! 』
Gan Ning was silent for a long time, finally heaved a sigh, and said: "Old General... If this is the case, you have to worry that these guys will bite back..."
『Take a picture! Yan Yan laughed, nodded and said, "I was born in this place... If the thief wants to ambush you and me, he must not leave these three places..."
『Hulukou...Cunbuya...Bloodstone Mountain...』
