Chapter 3340 Generals and soldiers
Li Li is on the wing.
He encountered the interception of Cao Hong in the process of circumventing Cao Hong in accordance with Xu Chu's order.
I don’t know if it was his luck or his luck was bad. Anyway, he chose a fork in the road and happened to meet a part of Cao Hongzhong’s leadership in the retreat. As a result, the two sides collided, which delayed Li Li’s time to encircle him. Then he saw the scene of Xu Chu’s army being suddenly attacked by Cao’s army.
Smoke and dust soar into the sky!
The stones roared and fell!
After Li Li hurriedly took his men and horses to avoid the attack range of the catapult cart, he suddenly turned around but could no longer find Xu Chu's battle flag.
Li Li's heart couldn't help but sink.
"Have you seen the general's order flag?" Li Li asked the soldiers around him.
He thought he was dazzled.
『No, no!』
『Not found!』
"Will it be covered by smoke and dust?"
"Are you falling into the gully?"
Everyone started screaming in a verbal voice, and the sound could not be concealed with a little panic...
No chaos!
Li Li subconsciously reacted that he shouldn't let everyone look for Xu Chu's battle flag, as this would bring uneasiness, but now that things have come to this, they can only divert everyone's attention as soon as possible, otherwise morale will inevitably continue to collapse!
Is there any way to get a group of soldiers back to their state as soon as possible?
fighting!
Only fight!
When soldiers do not know how to fight or lose the courage to fight, can they still be called soldiers?
Li Li did not immediately give orders. He sat upright on the horse with a calm expression, turning a deaf ear to the roars made in the Cao army camp.
This is a huge stage.
Before this, who was Li Li?
After today, Li Li is Li Li!
He pulled out a clean spare cloth strip from the leather bag around his waist, bite it with his teeth, and then wrapped it around the back of his left hand that was injured at some point.
Maybe it was cut by some weapon, or maybe it was cut by gravel. I suddenly realized it when I was avoiding the attack of the catapult, but now I feel a little thrust.
The bright red blood flowed downwards, and the strength of the bundling also made Li Li's muscles twitch, but he still tangled calmly, as if he was bandaging himself, but was wrapping others' injuries.
He quickly bandaged the wound and tied a knot with his teeth and skillful fingers.
When he raised his head again, everyone around him was gradually influenced by him and calmed down.
Li Li stretched out his hand and moved it.
The wound was well wrapped, which was a little painful, but it did not affect his subsequent activities.
The soldiers on the side seemed to want to say something, but when they saw Li Li's actions, they said nothing.
Li Li did not shout any exciting and morale-encouraging slogans, but issued a password according to the most conventional habits, "Check equipment!"
While running away just now, some people lost their weapons, while others flew away their arrows.
Now Li Li issued a new order, just like in a practical training, stable and powerful.
The sounds sounded in sequence.
Li Li also jumped off the war horse, reorganized the laces on the war horse's belly, and then took out some dry food from the bag on the horse's back, stuffed half into his mouth, and half to the war horse with watery big eyes.
The war horse sniffed and then shook its tail.
Li Li patted the horse's neck, then looked at the group of Cao army soldiers running out of the Cao army camp in the distance, and held the handle of the sword tightly.
The two or three Hussars on the other side of Li Li just looked silently and said nothing.
The Cao army camp was like a hornet's nest that was stabbed hard. With the roar of the war drums, countless soldiers rushed out of the camp, crossed the trench, and rushed up with a scream.
Some Cao's soldiers seemed to have noticed Li Li and others who were staying on one side, so they pointed and called, then pressed over.
"Haha." Li Li couldn't help but sneer, "Some people really regard us as Shandong. They will lose and disperse once they lose?"
"Prepare for battle!" Li Li suddenly raised his voice, "Each team reported the number!"
"This... one team, one team has seventy-three people! There are swords and guns in hand! There are 70% arrows!!"
"The second team has 68 people! The swords and guns are all ready, and the arrows are 80%!"
『Team three…』
Each team reported the number in sequence.
Each team has a shortage of different numbers, and it is obviously a bit disbanded in the panic just now.
When Xu Chu surrounded Cao Hong, he did not go out in full force, so Li Li and others did not bring out all their troops. Some of them were resting in the front-line camp.
Li Li turned his horse on his back and said, "Go and gather the scattered people first! They are all brothers, how can they abandon them easily!"
...
...
In a depression, more than a dozen Hussar soldiers gathered together.
It is human instinct to hold together to keep warm.
Most of these Hussar soldiers lost their war horses during the Cao army's attack just now, or were injured and thrown down, so they were naturally dispersed from the large army.
The sound of war drums, horse hooves, and roars rang one after another over the depression.
Cao's army seemed to be getting closer.
They don't know if they've been discovered.
They had lost their war horses, but they did not lose the fighting spirit.
The red eyes were just staring at the closer and closer enemy.
The two or three hundred Cao soldiers seemed to have discovered the Hussars here, and they shouted and approached, constantly approaching.
One hundred and fifty steps.
One hundred and twenty steps.
One hundred steps.
Fifty steps!
A Hussar soldier in the depression raised the sword in his hand and roared: "Kill!"
Then he rushed up from the depression.
With his roar, the others also roared and rushed out together...
But from another direction, a louder voice came, "Kill!!"
Accompanied by the sound of thunder, Li Li and his cavalry rushed from under the earth slope to the top of the slope, and then rushed down like a torrent, and hundreds of cavalry crashed into the Cao army's squad!
Before the two or three hundred Cao's soldiers understood what was going on, they were already submerged in swords and guns and under horse hooves.
Before the Hussar soldiers in the depression recovered, a non-commissioned officer with a team-like appearance rushed to them, waved his hand, and ordered: "Go to the tail of the team to see if there are any free war horses! Those who do not have war horses ride with the people behind! Return to the original team after the war! Hurry up! Now everyone follows Li Junhou's flag! Move! All of them move!
After saying that, the team leader didn't wait for the Hussars to respond, but immediately roared and ran in another direction with his men.
These Hussars were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted, "Quick! Hurry up! Keep up!"
...
...
In the Cao army camp, Cao Hong, who had already stood on the watchtower, was holding a bag of sour water to replenish water. He suddenly saw the scene that happened on the edge of the battlefield. With a "pop" sound, he sprayed the water in his mouth, "Who is this?!"
The military guards are not generals yet, they can only recognize the flags, but not the flags.
The guard lay on the railing and squinted his eyes and carefully identified the running spot in the distance.
"This is like... the general, it seems to be the one who was in front of the formation two days ago... that..." The guard said, not very loud.
Before, Cao's army was directly swept down a whole array of troops by a team of cavalry. It was not a pleasant memory and was willing to mention it from time to time...
Cao Hong remembered and his eyes flashed.
How could there be so many heroes under the cavalry?
"Who is closest to that guy?" Cao Hong asked in a deep voice.
If such seedlings are under their own command, of course they will focus on cultivating them. If they are in the enemy, they will directly destroy them when they have the chance!
For example, if you leave room for the other party to grow, Jiji Gugu said that you are waiting for the other party to become your real opponent. In addition to being a comic disease of second-tier cities, in most cases, you can no longer kill the other party and can only put a mark on your mouth.
For example, now, Cao Hong feels that he will not hesitate if he has the opportunity to kill this seedling.
"General, the closest distance is General Bao's troops!"
"Bao Shuyi?" Cao Hong frowned slightly, "Tell him to kill this beast! Don't let him join forces to rescue the cavalry and the scattered troops!"
...
...
People are sucking fish, and the pot falls from the sky!
what to do?
Waiting online, it's quite urgent!
Quick return!
After receiving Cao Hong's new instructions, Bao Zhong took a mouthful of orange lemon peel and didn't know how to vomit.
He finally managed to procrastinate, but he couldn't show that he was slow to procrastinate in the Cao army's ranks, just like the fishing party in later enterprises. After all, no matter when the boss saw an employee blatantly slapping, most of them would not be happy. Unexpectedly, Cao Hong actually asked him to slaughter Li Li!
Of course, Bao Zhong didn't know that it was Li Li at the moment, but no matter what, he suddenly had a new task. It was like notifying a meeting when he was about to get off work, doing team building on weekends, and doing training on holidays, full of strong sense of viciousness towards the working masses' proletariat.
Of course, Bao Zhong also thought about turning over the table, but in the end his anger became two words after the mouth cooled down: "Okay..."
Originally, Bao Zhong didn't want to go to the direction of the front military camp of the Cavalry, but now with Cao Hong's order, he simply shifted the direction directly and went to Li Li's place.
"This is an opportunity!" It never came out again from somewhere.
Bao Zhong had a feeling that this always seemed to have a special ability. If you accidentally throw it into the crowd, will it disappear automatically?
"What opportunity? No chance! Don't make trouble if you have nothing to do!" Bao Zhong refused in one go.
Although Bao Zhong said "No", he never heard it and continued: "Now the general can give it to me with a banner... Don't the general want to contact me as soon as possible to determine the time for the son to go to the Hundred Clinic to treat him? Other things can be delayed, but this matter cannot be delayed!"
"Hiss..." Bao Zhong turned his head and looked at him with anger.
He always looked like a smile, and the smile on his face seemed to have remained unchanged for a hundred years.
"Come here." Bao Zhong whispered, "You explain clearly, how to arrange it?"
"The son's arrangement?" is always that face.
Bao Zhong grinded his teeth, "Yes, how do I arrange my child?"
Of course, Bao Zhong wanted to ask all the things clearly, including how to contact each other, who else was in the Cao army camp, etc., but obviously, Bao Zhong knew that he would never say it, so he could only compromise in the end, just asking to know his son's specific arrangements.
"This is very simple." It's always like explaining why one plus one equals two, "Didn't you say it before? Just determine the specific time for the joint at the Dahe Ferry Crossing."
"Just what?" Bao Zhong felt a little frustrated and angry in the dark, "I don't know anything! What exactly is going to do!"
I suddenly put my smile on my face, "You don't need to know."
But soon, he always laughed again, "General, don't worry, I have everything. Can you lend me the flag now?"
Bao Zhong wanted to refuse again, but thought of his own child, and finally gave a color to his guard helplessly.
The flag representing the generals obviously cannot be given, after all, there is only one side, but it represents Cao's recognition...
Normally, these flag recognition is part of the rights of the generals. Not all soldiers know the generals of the Cao army's various military academys, but at least they will recognize the Cao army's flag recognition.
Most of these types of flag recognition will have restrictions on issuing them, and not everyone can obtain them. Only people at the general level can obtain this flag recognition. At some point, it can be equivalent to a "command arrow" and play a role in passing command tokens.
Of course, this effect does not mean that if you get the flag recognition, you can command any Cao army soldiers. Instead, there are some restrictions depending on the actual situation and specific differences. For example, if Bao Zhong's flag recognition, it is impossible to mobilize the people of the Zhong Leader and the Zhong Guardian Army.
If this kind of flag is lost, it will be punished, just like a command arrow is lost, but it will be much better than losing the flag of the general. Bao Zhong signaled the guards to escort it, and this is how the flag was recognized.
Bao Zhong's guard snorted and took out a small cloth bag from his arms.
He always smiled, reached out and snatched it, and then whispered: "Going to the side... Anyway, you don't have a war horse, so isn't it normal for you to not be able to keep up with the cavalry?"
...
...
After rolling up the flag, Xu Chu retreated with his men and horses, and ran about ten miles. Xu Chu gradually slowed down, turned to a slope, and slowly stood still.
He jumped off the horse and asked the guards to take care of the war horses. He used his hands and feet, and hurriedly climbed up to the top of the slope on one side and looked back at the battlefield.
Xu Chu did not suffer any setbacks because of his defeat today.
After experiencing this setback, Xu Chu realized some of the things he had been ignored before.
Caution and risk are not completely opposite.
He was too cautious before, which caused the pressure on the Cao army camp was not strong enough, which gave Cao Hong the opportunity to hide his killer weapon. If he could be more radical and risky in the first battle before, let alone whether he could take down the Cao army camp, at least Cao army's slaughter plane would be forced to be put into use...
Similarly, the battlefield is always changing. Yesterday may be a safe place, but today it may become dangerous. Everything needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation...
Xu Chu kept thinking and summarizing.
The lessons of flesh and blood should be remembered in my heart.
After a brief regret and self-blame, Xu Chu quickly found a way to fight back and formulated a bold plan. He wanted to lure Cao's army out before he launched a counterattack.
On the one hand, because it was close to the area of ​​Cao's camp, Xu Chu didn't know which area did not have the catapult carriage set up by Cao's army. On the other hand, Cao's army was suppressed in the camp at this stage. Although it seemed that the Cavalry Army had gained a lot of advantages on the surface, it actually did not give much direct damage to Cao's army.
So if a group of Cao troops could be drawn out...
But the point is that he must be able to eat it!
Xu Chu believed that he could, and even more so that the cavalrymen he commanded could!
"Put the banner! Contact each department!"
Xu Chu said in a deep voice.
It's not a failure now.
If you really give Cao's army an opportunity, it would be defeated.
In the eyes of others, he was defeated, but the fact is that he just decided to retreat and change to a more stable way to deal with Cao's army.
Xu Chu's flag spread out again on the soil plate.
The terrain in the Yuncheng Basin is flat. Although there are special gully landforms on the Loess Plateau, it is not easy to defend.
This time, he led the army as Fei Qian's front-runner. He defeated Cao Hong in the first battle and suppressed Cao's army and retreated into the camp. It was already considered to be a great success to complete the tasks required by Fei Qian. More importantly, he had initially cleared the trap arrangements outside the Cao army camp and drew the outer layout of Cao's army camp, providing a relatively sufficient source of information for the subsequent development of the General of the Cavalry.
From this point of view, Xu Chu had already completed the military orders arranged by Fei Qian.
But a life that is too smooth may not be a good thing for anyone.
Previously, Xu Chu believed that Li Li could lead his men to play a sharp set of archery and cavalry tactics, so he could naturally lead the cavalry and horses to the company, so he was a little careless and was caught by Cao Hong...
Xu Chu was indeed wrong. He was the commanding general, but he was not an omnipotent general. He was good at infantry arrays, but he didn't understand enough about cavalry!
Fortunately, at a critical moment, Xu Chu realized that Guanzhong and Shandong were different after all!
The key node in Shandong is the generals. No matter what the previous battle situation is, once the generals collapse, the entire army will lose contact, and even if the other soldiers are intact, it will be useless!
Guanzhong is the node in the military academy, the non-commissioned officers, and the people at the bottom of the middle class!
Just as the General of the Cavalry said, "As a general, general, and soldiers, use their own uses!"
Now Xu Chu is willing to give the choice to these middle and lower-level non-commissioned officers of the Cavalry Academy, and believes that under Fei Qian's subtle influence over the years, these non-commissioned officers of the military Academy will eventually grow up like Li Li and become the real force supporting the Cavalry Army!
The three-color battle flags are roaming again on the earthen plateau.
Chapter completed!
