Zhang's soldiers were routed in disarray, making Shangyong Sakon's plan to fortify the walls and clear the country into 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, it's a cross-over.
This place was originally a military stronghold, but later it was gradually expanded into a city. It is very small, with a main street running from beginning to end.
A group of cavalrymen, full of blood and dirt, slowly entered the city, and then stopped at the small square at the end of the street. The cavalrymen dismounted one after another, some dismounted and tied their belts loosely for their big men, and some
Shaking their legs and panting, they sat down on the corner of the roadside, and some went to the well in the corner of the small square to fetch water. Suddenly, the square became noisy with people and horses.
There were originally some soldiers of the Zhang family in Fangcheng, but when they were rushed by the rebel army, and the defenders of this place were included, they most likely belonged to the ranks of timid and incompetent people. When they saw that the momentum was not right, they abandoned Fang without saying a word.
The city fled to Shangyong, and gave up the place without a fight.
Among these cavalrymen, Mao San was tremblingly untying the sword tied to his hand. In order to prevent the handle of the sword from being soaked with sweat and blood during the battle, many people would choose to tie the sword directly to their hands, but
It was easy to tie the dry strips of cloth, but now that they are stained with sweat and blood, it is a bit difficult to untie them.
I don't know whether it was because of the fatigue after a long battle, or because the cloth was sticky after the blood had solidified. Anyway, it took a long time to pull it off. Mao San's arm even trembled slightly. After adjusting his breathing for a while, he started to wipe the sword.
After a battle, the sword cannot be put away immediately. It must be cleaned. Just like a kitchen knife needs to be washed and wiped before being put away after use. Flesh and blood are corrosive...
Perhaps it's because Hou Wu is stronger and looks better than Mao San. At this moment, he has finished packing his armor and weapons, and is 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 swinging around under his crotch, he picked up a bucket of water in three swipes. He first took the bucket, took a few sips, and then raised the bucket.
It fell down from the head.
"Ha... it feels so good..."
Hou Wu shouted twice.
Although the well water in winter is slightly warm, it cannot be said to be warm. When it touches the body, a white mist rises.
There were also several other cavalrymen who, like Hou Wu, rushed to fetch water from the well. They took a shower with their bare buttocks at the edge of the well. It splashed on 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 so cool..."
In the laughter, excitement, arrogance and fatigue were mixed together.
Zhu Ling's cavalry tactics were so fast that even the cavalry in the army felt a little surprised and shocked.
There is a saying in the Art of War, "Therefore it is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the clouds, and as moving as thunder." Some people who have read Sun Tzu's Art of War can generally understand this method of military warfare.
I know, but it is not easy to make an army achieve this level.
However, this time, it really feels like this. Of course, it cannot be separated from the cooperation of Zhang's soldiers. One is strong and powerful, and the other is petite and weak, which is just right.
From the very beginning of contact to the time when we have been stationed here for repairs, day and night, we are really like a long sword unsheathed, rushing down in one breath, sacrificing our own lives, and moving forward in an indomitable way. Many people are like Mao Sanhou and Wu
Ordinary small teams, divided and reunited, gathered and dispersed at random, and captured all the villages and vassal 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 Han cavalry.
The cavalry is no longer a vassal of the infantry, nor does it all need to capture the city. When the elite armor of the Han people is combined with the gathering and dispersing tactics of the Hu people, the unique hussar cavalry of the Han Dynasty is formed.
The transformation of this model began with Taishi Ci's attack on Yecheng. The use of hussars gradually got rid of infantry and gradually became completely independent individuals on the battlefield. Fei Qian's long-term military rations and
Improvements in armor and equipment allowed these cavalry to make flexible tactical changes around the advancing forage supply convoys.
The core weakness of this tactic is the slowly advancing forage supply brigade in the center. However, if an ordinary army wants to get past the cavalry on the periphery and come into contact with these forage supply brigade, it must first withstand the attacks of the cavalry detachments surrounding it...
That's right, does it look familiar?
It looks familiar.
Universal ration standards, universal equipment standards, universal battle orders, universal supplementary supplies. If all cavalry are exhausted, they do not necessarily need to return to the forage supply brigade. They only need to find adjacent cavalry to replenish a little.
Some……
This combat model, which was born out of later generations of maritime fleet battle groups, was first proposed by the hussar general Fei Qian in the martial arts lecture hall. Then, with the continuous improvement of Zhao Yuntai, Shi Ci, Zhang Liao and others, it is now used in the hands of Zhu Ling, and it is the same.
It was so sharp that it completely blinded the Zhang family's defenders around Shangyong.
Once this pattern unfolds, it will be like being surrounded by cavalry for hundreds of miles! The cavalry suddenly coming and going created a huge momentum, making almost all Zhang's Shangyong defenders think that this time they were attacked by at least tens of thousands of people.
cavalry attack!
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 a forage supply queue.
Compared with ordinary cavalry sergeants, tactical commanders like Zhu Ling are better able to understand what such a battle mode means to the current big man.
During this battle, in some local areas, the number of cavalry may not be as large as Zhang's soldiers, but they can still defeat Zhang's soldiers simply and neatly. In addition to the attack bonus of cavalry against infantry,
In addition, the most important thing is the momentum of the soldiers themselves, or the desire for victory, the enthusiasm for fighting, and the bravery in battle...
Because they once belonged to the same series, the equipment of Zhang's soldiers is actually similar to the equipment of ordinary Hussars soldiers.
But morale and combat are not on the same level at all.
Zhu Ling has seen too many military formations that were defeated due to low morale, such as Yuan's army before, and Zhang's army now, but he has also seen the soldiers under the hussar's command succeed one after another. Even if they lose four or five out of ten, they still have nothing.
Have no fear and move forward courageously!
The only great soldier in the world is the hussar!
"Come here, distribute the fodder!"
Zhu Ling walked along the street, directing his men as he walked. Then he saw the rough men taking a shower at the end of the street. He smiled and cursed, "You guys! Just take a shower and don't let the cold wind blow for too long."
! Where are the dry clothes? Dry them quickly and put them on!』
"Hou Wu! Your butt is exposed!" Zhu Ling pointed at Hou Wu and said with a smile, "Your robe is torn!"
Hou Wu looked back, then touched it, and couldn't help but shout, "The thief has stepped on the horse! Um, it's so cold in the back ditch... Um, why are you little kids laughing..."
Fighting on the battlefield, I don’t know when the swords and guns cut through Hou Wu’s spare robe, tearing a big hole, which happened to be on the buttocks. Then Hou Wu didn’t pay attention, just wearing it and wandering around, and then
Everyone else also suppressed their laughter until Zhu Ling said it...
Zhu Ling laughed, took off his cloak, and threw it to Hou Wu, "Here you go! Hold your butt tight!"
"Hahaha! Thank you, captain, for the reward!" Hou Wu laughed, took the cloak, and put it on his body. He also showed off to Mao San on the side, "Look, the captain likes your forehead the most!"
Mao San also laughed at the side, "The captain just likes your butt!"
"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 recovering from injuries under the high platform, and then gave instructions to the military commander under his command about the patrol matters before finally slowing down.
Slowly walked up to the high platform in the city...
The three-color flag fluttered in the wind on the high platform. Zhu Ling stood under it and looked at the cavalrymen on the street who were stained with blood and mud and were returning one after another to repair. Although they were a little tired, they were still full of energy.
With a fighting and high-spirited face, he showed a big smile and shouted loudly, "Come on, let me ask you, do you feel good about killing?!"
"Hahaha, it's cool! It's cool!"
"I'm unhappy! I didn't kill enough!"
The cavalrymen near the street also laughed and responded nonchalantly.
"This battle is not over yet. May I ask if you are still brave enough?" Zhu Ling asked loudly again.
"Yes! Yes!"
This time the answers were unusually unified.
This time, not only the surrounding cavalry, but also some cavalry in the distance who had taken a short rest, as well as the soldiers who were healing under the high platform, also stood up, waved their arms towards Zhu Ling, raised their swords and guns, and displayed murderous intent for a moment.
Tengteng, the momentum is like a rainbow!
"Then take a good night's repair and set off tomorrow to continue the march! There will be greater victories and more achievements waiting for you!" Zhu Ling waved his arms towards the three-color flag above his head, "The great man will be victorious! Hussars."
Winning!』
"Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories!"
……(??▽??)(??▽??)(??▽??)……
Gu lpa People's cognition changes with time, or the changes of the times. If you stand in a later era, and then laugh at the behaviors of people in those eras in the previous times, how terrible some of the behaviors were.
It is ridiculous and deplorable, and it is undoubtedly a ridiculous and deplorable thing in itself.
In Sichuan and Sichuan, birds are flying.
When the storm surges in the Shangyong area, fighting spirit also rises in Sichuan and Shu.
The shadows formed by large and small clouds flowed on the ground, and then followed the flags.
Although it is a basin in Sichuan and Shu, it is not flat land, and unlike the east-west mountains in most Chinese lands, the terrain in Sichuan and Shu also has folds running from north to south. Therefore, on this piece of land, the cavalry does not
It is not its leading unit, but more infantry.
The smoke column of the wolf smoke rose up, and the soldiers from both sides of the battle gathered, collided, and intertwined, and then dispersed like waves, leaving the remains of corpses and deserters scurrying in all directions.
When the sickle of death falls, it will never give mankind any warning first.
It roared in and swallowed up life in the blink of an eye.
With Yan Yan as the vanguard and Gan Ning as the rear, the troops almost raced against time to regain the lost lands in Brazil and Bazhong.
For this reason, whether it is Wang Leidong of the Jin people, Qi Zhi of the Di people, or Fan Zao, the leader of the Ba people, they all have the same idea, which is to bring the plundered materials back to the mountains as much as possible...
…
Otherwise, wouldn’t this expedition be meaningless?
Fan Zao from Ba is relatively well-off, so he is the most determined retreater, even if he has to give up some supplies, but it is different for the Mi and Di people, they are reluctant to part with it.
When Fan Zao was about to leave, Jianren and Diren held him back, saying they would play with her some more... Bah, no, I wanted to take off her clothes a little more, uh, drag them on a little longer.
As long as we can delay the counterattack of the three-color Han people for one more day, we can naturally move back one more copy. Even an idiot can calculate this simple algorithm, but the problem is...
Fan Zao stared at Lei Dong and Qi Zhi because he had just received a reward.
This letter came from a dead Ba leader. Not long ago, the Ba leader thought he was brave. After witnessing the collapse of the Jin and Di people, he laughed at the fleeing Jin and Di people and despised them.
The Jin and Di people were stupid, cowardly, and incompetent, and then showed that they could ambush the chasing Han generals behind them, and then turn defeat into victory.
As a result, the ambush of the Ba leader failed, and Gan Ning and his men relentlessly chased him for three miles and chopped him to the ground...
Those who collapsed and fled back brought news reports, which naturally exaggerated the number of Han soldiers, turning hundreds into thousands, and thousands into tens of thousands. They even swore that there must be so many!
"How can we stop the Han people with so many soldiers and horses? It's better to go back to the mountains as soon as possible! Otherwise, when the Han people surround us, we won't be able to escape!" Fan Zao said rudely, "I know you are reluctant, but you must
Things must be alive first! What’s the point of adding more things if they are dead? Listen to me, go back to the mountain, and leave now!』
Wang Leitong, the thief, grabbed Fan Zao and said, "Brother Fan! Just wait five more days, no, just three days! Three days! Wait three more days! No matter what, leave in three days! Three days!"
"Yes, delay it for three more days... This is actually a bit false. You and I both know that the Han people have not come with so many soldiers and horses. There are tens of thousands of people. We can't scare ourselves..." On the side
Wang Qi Zhi of the Di people also said, "It's only three days. We have gathered here. There are so many people, how can we delay it for three days! We must believe in ourselves!"
Believe in yourself……
What a fool, I don’t even believe in myself, so why do I believe in you?
Fan Zao couldn't help but throw away the hand of King Lei Dong, but looking at Lei Dong and Qi Zhi's eyes as if they were about to devour people, after a moment of silence, he finally said, "Then you two, tell me, how are you going to delay this?"
These three days?』
Lei Dong and Qi Zhi looked at each other, then pointed to the same place on the simple map beside them, "Here..."
"Bloodstone Mountain?"
"..." Fan Zao was silent for a moment, his eyes wandering, "Then... then let's try..."
"Okay!" Lei Dong and Qi Zhi both breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't know that what Fan Zao was actually thinking was completely different from the two of them...
……乂(??Д??三??Д??)乂……
In the unknown mountains.
In the desolate valley filled with debris, tents were set up and bonfires were lit.
As the sun set, Gan Ning and Yan Yan were sitting together.
Not far away, soldiers were preparing to set up camp and cook meat, and they were busy coming and going.
In the past few days, Yan Yan and Gan Ning cooperated with each other, and the cavalry and infantry worked together to drive away the people from Brazil and Bazhong who were scattered to various villages and towns, like driving sheep, towards the Daba Mountains.
Drive away.
In the final analysis, Gan Ning and Yan Yan's troops were insufficient. This shortage was not purely quantitative, but qualitative. To put it simply, it was the insufficient number of core troops who were truly loyal to the hussar generals.
This is very troublesome.
The word "loyalty" is sometimes expressed in words and sometimes in actions, but until the critical moment, it is often impossible to tell who is which...
In the past few days, Yan Yan and Gan Ning have met many people who usually have their nostrils on the top of their heads. But now, after meeting, they nod and bow down, saying they are loyal, loyal to the Hussar, loyal to Sichuan and Shu, and loyal to the Han.
.
Therefore, Yan Yan and Gan Ning can accept these people's diligence?
Fortunately, behind Yan Yan and Gan Ning, there was also Xiang Lang as logistical supplies to maintain the situation as much as possible.
Since the Husbands entered Sichuan, these noble children of Sichuan and Shu, well, perhaps from the day when the Han Dynasty was founded, the noble children of Sichuan and Shu may not have stood wholeheartedly on the same front as the Han Dynasty. Because it is very simple, after Liu Bang entered the pass,
In the process from the King of Hanzhong to the Black Emperor, the children of the Sichuan and Shu gentry did not gain benefits beyond those in other regions.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the Guanlong Group was in power, while in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jizhou and Yuzhou were proud of themselves. The children of the Sichuan and Shu gentry have always either made up for it or been marginalized, so whether these people are loyal to the Han or to the Hussar, how much loyalty do they say?
When it comes to behavior, it is naturally a difficult-to-define weight.
Raising bandits to cause trouble, or raising bandits to respect themselves, is not a situation that only occurs in Longxi and Longyou.
After all, Sichuan and Shu people are not stupid, right?
If Gan Ning and Yan Yan had a large number of soldiers, of course they wouldn't have to worry too much and they could fight as they pleased. But now they only have a few thousand to less than two thousand Hussar soldiers, so of course they need to be more careful.
Some.
Recruiting soldiers to assist? Of course it is possible, but what about money and food? From Chengdu? Will Chengdu give it now? From the local area? Are the local nobles willing? Do you really take the second and fifth sons seriously? If you push these guys, they will even
Gan Ning and Yan Yan sold it!
Like most young people, the first thing they value must be interests.
When the Ti people and the Di people plundered places, the ones who suffered the most serious damage were not the big families in Sichuan and Sichuan, but ordinary farmers, or the people of the middle and lower classes. This was the same everywhere.
"My opinion is, chase them!" Yan Yan thought of the refugees he saw in Langzhong. After being rescued, those refugees cried, hugged the bodies of their relatives, and called for their fathers or children. "
If you can save one more person, it’s just one person! I fought in response to the Commander-in-Chief Xu just for the sake of these people in Sichuan!"
Gan Ning frowned, "This is too risky..."
In a sense, Gan Ning has now completed the combat goal assigned by Xu Shu. Gan Ning and Yan Yan cooperated with each other to defeat the plan of the Jin people and the Di people to continue to invade central Sichuan, and drove them to the vicinity of Daba Mountain.
Even if they don't attack next, these cheaters will retreat.
If we continue to pursue the pursuit now, we can indeed save more people in Sichuan, but if it fails...
"It's not like this..." Yan Yan put her hand on her chest and looked at Gan Ning, with some scattered snow-white beard and hair floating in the air, "Give me three hundred soldiers... If I succeed, the credit will also go to the general. If I fail,
The blame falls on me! At this age, I don’t seek glory, but I seek peace of mind!”
"I was born in Sichuan and grew up in Sichuan. With this martial arts, I can protect the safety of the people in Sichuan. Even if the future is dangerous, I will shoulder the responsibility!"
Gan Ning was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Old General... If this is the case, you have to worry about these guys biting you..."
"Get a picture!" Yan Yan laughed, nodded and said, "A certain person was born here... If a thief wants to ambush you and me, he will definitely not leave these three places..."
