Chapter 2897: Righteousness does not control wealth, goodness does not serve as an official(1/2)
The sun slowly rose and hung in the air.
It was like the half-closed eyelids of the Buddha with compassion and rigid face.
The morning sun is not hot, but it can drive away some cold air, and smoke rises from cooking fires along with the sun.
The people lying on the outside came out of their hiding place lazily and yawned back to take a break.
As the number of the Western Regions coalition forces grew, troubles followed.
Just like now, the vanguards are almost in contact with the Han people, and there are also people from the Western Regions Alliance behind them that are three days away.
Taxa was also scared by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun before, so when he was pushing forward, he would leave some of his troops to ambush at night, waiting for the Han people to come to attack at night.
Unfortunately, no.
The Han people are indeed not that stupid.
A pampered roll was spread out in the big tent in Taxa.
On the sheepskin, draw a surrounding topographic map.
"This is the Han military camp." Taksa smiled, raised his right hand, and covered the sheepskin roll with a vain, as if he was trying to pinch the military camp in the sheepskin roll. "I have already sent someone to investigate the Han military camp... This Han military camp is only more than a thousand people, and it is not even a fraction of it compared to us! But when the Han people built the military camp, they took a lot of thought... You see, from this is a gentle slope, there are two floors of walls on the front, and the inner wall is higher than the outer wall, so if you go up from the front, you will be hit by the inner and outer walls of the Han military camp at the same time..."
"Then let's go to the back door!" A leader of a state in the military tent said without hesitation.
『It's good to go to the back door...』
『I like the back door too!』
Suddenly, there were sounds of different sizes in the military tent, and then there was a loud laugh.
Taxa was also laughing, but there was not much warmth in his smile. He knew the power of the Han people, but the generals and commanders of these Western countries had forgotten a little.
This is not surprising. Not everyone has a calm mind, especially when they see the number of the Western Regions coalition forces expanding, there are always people who will swell up, and they will be arrogant and think that they can quarrel against the sky and the earth and the Buddha with more people.
But Taxa would not mention these people, so he would just go and argue with those who like to fight. He is not the parents of these guys. Dead on the battlefield will also help him implement the strategy of unification of the Western Regions, so Taxa nodded to the deputy beside him.
Taxa's deputy understood, took a step forward, pointed to the sheepskin roll, and said loudly: "The general believes that the loss of our direct attack on the Han military camp will be great. In order to uphold the Buddha's compassionate will and to ensure that the blood of the people in the Western Regions is not in vain, our most respectable general suggested that the sheep attack be carried out on the front of the Han military camp, and then focus on attacking its rear wings. As long as a little breaks, it can destroy the overall defense system of the Han people. Once the Han defense system is destroyed, the entire military camp will naturally be in our hands. Let me replace the great and kind general and explain the specific strategic deployment..."
"First of all, the double-layer city walls on the front of the Han people are very threatening, especially the inner walls, which play a very critical role in the protection of the entire military camp. When the frontal defense of the Han people's military camps is in crisis, its inner wall can immediately support troops. The terrain of the inner wall is higher than that of the outer wall, and our troops are within the effective range. However, once the inner wall is lost, the Han people defending on the outer wall will have no way out, and we can strike condescendingly against the Han people on the outer wall.
"To reduce our attack resistance to the inner wall, we must attract enough Han people's attention from the outer wall..." The adjutant continued to explain, "All siege troops must be prepared, and the sheep attack troops must really work hard to attack, otherwise the Han people will easily find that we are sheep attacks, and all plans will have no meaning! Therefore, after leaving this tent, no one can tell his subordinates that sheep attacks are on the front. If we want to deceive the Han people, we must first hide it from our own people! Whoever leaks the news will be the sinners of all countries in the Western Regions! Buddha is above!"
The commanders of the Western countries within the tent looked at each other and silently did not speak.
"The most important thing is the archers. I need to arrange all archers to conduct unified training and command. When the sheep attack the Han people, use archers to destroy the Han people's soldiers on the outer wall, and then attack the flanks of the Han people's military camp. While defending us from attacking head-on, the Han people did not dare to give up their flanks. In desperation, they had to send reserve troops, and we could use archers to consume all the Han people's reserve troops when they left their hidden positions.
"At this time, we are raiding the rear of the Han people. The Han people without reserve teams will definitely be caught off guard, and we will definitely be captured in one fell swoop!"
"Then... I don't know how the order of attacks is arranged?" The leaders of various states in the Western Regions looked at each other and then asked the core questions.
Taxa smiled and didn't speak. His adjutant stared wide, "Do you still need to ask? Then I will take you to attack the sheep. As for the last attack, of course, it will be our most respected and kindest general to decide when we are in the battle!"
The commanders of the Western Regions were suddenly twittering.
Someone couldn't help but scream, "The sheep attacked the front, and many people would definitely die! Is this going to make us fight all the money?"
"Fight for light?" The adjutant sneered, "Just like the Han army camp, you will be fine? If you are afraid, you can leave now, but the future victory of the Western Regions Allied Forces has nothing to do with you. You have all figured it out! This is for the glory of the Buddha and the peace of the Western Regions! If everyone just cares about what they are... Sorry, we don't need such selfish people!"
The adjutant sang a black face, and of course Taxa came out to sing a black face, "Don't say that, everyone is for the Buddha, for the Western Regions... What's more, this is a Han Chinese, a small, insignificant military camp, more than a thousand Han soldiers, even if they lose, where can they lose? I'm afraid now, so don't beat me later! Think about it yourself, is this the truth?"
The commanders of the states in the Western Regions looked at each other, and then expressed one after another that everything was followed by Taxa's orders.
Taxas stood up, full of enthusiasm, "Then it's settled! Send the order to attack the Han military camp tomorrow! Use the blood of the Han people to clean up their sins in the Western Regions! Let the Buddha's glory be restored to this land!"
『Oh oh oh oh oh…』
…ヽ(`З’)?ヽ(`З’)?ヽ(`З’)?…
Menghua stood on the high platform of the military camp, looking at the Western Regions Alliance troops, with a solemn expression.
After Meng Shu's death, different voices appeared within the Montessor. On the one hand, it meant that Meng Shu died unjustly and how. On the other hand, it meant that Meng Shu failed to see the situation clearly, not only killed himself, but also killed many of the Montessor's children.
Meng Hua also thought about it carefully, and then he found that both of these voices were actually correct, but they had different positions.
From the position of the Montessori, of course, we must guard the interests of the Montessori, and cannot be divided or reduced. But the question is, is there only one Montessori in the world? Even Qin Shihuang, who was a talented and stubborn Qin Dynasty, had no trust in the Montessori. More importantly, the Montessori at that time showed loyalty and also showed a calm attitude towards authority. These were precisely what Mengshu did not reflect. So how could we talk about letting the cavalry or let Jia Xu have unconditional trust?
The Mengshi's current generation is not as good as the Qin Emperor in the past.
Behind Meng's incarnation were two children of the Meng family, one named Meng Jin and the other named Meng Ting.
There is also the military marquis who were originally guarding the military camp.
Now, as the Sima of the Army who followed Menghua, each commanded 500 people, and a total of more than 1,000 people came to support the military camp.
That’s right, the original suggestion of Meng Hua was to bring three or five hundred people to the point, and then depending on the situation, if it is wrong, you will retreat immediately. But now you are not bringing three or five hundred people, but you look over, and the taste is completely different...
Meng Hua recalled the scene he had in the meeting hall before.
Even when Menghua arrived at the military camp, he was not sure whether the decision they made was right or wrong.
Lu Bu wanted to come, but everyone rejected it.
Because if Lu Bu comes, he must let Lu Bu lead his troops, and for Lu Bu, he will not be satisfied with the one thousand soldiers...
Zhang Liao had his own plans and ideas, and Lu Bu was obviously unwilling to do it according to Zhang Liao's plan.
Unable to reach an agreement.
In the end, the two sides almost fought again. Fortunately, a messenger came and said that the cavalry had arrived at Yumen Pass and brought the command of the cavalry to formally hand over the military power of Xihai City to Zhang Liao.
So, Lu Bu, who had lost the authority to command the troops, left angrily, and only brought more than 100 people directly under him to Yumen Pass to find General Fei Qian of the Cavalry, to ask for an explanation, or something else...
Meng Hua threw away his chaotic thoughts and focused on the military affairs in front of him.
In the military camp, all the troops were close to 3,000, and all the equipment to defend the city were prepared, which already had the confidence to fight with the Western Regions Alliance. Three thousand people would definitely be under-allocated if they guarded a big city, but if they were stationed in a military camp, these numbers would be enough.
Menghua set up a total of 1,000 people on the front, and another 500 people were divided on the left and right wings, with 500 people as reserve troops.
In the military camp, the soldiers were nervously and orderly resettling various types of military ordnances. From time to time, grassroots non-commissioned officers shouted, asking the soldiers to move some flammable things to hidden places, or prepare some water and wet sand.
There were also some soldiers lined up, and then the sergeant or some leader checked the armor and weapons one by one, etc.
In the camp of the military camp, among the temporary sheds, there were several small military officials who were writing suicide notes to the soldiers around them. I don’t know what someone said, which attracted the laughter of soldiers around them...
After Meng Hua and others came to support the soldiers in the military camp, they obviously felt much more at ease and were in a relatively stable mood.
The coalition seemed to be full of mountains and fields, and seemed to be magnificent, but in fact everyone knew that it was impossible for such people to accumulate all of them to fight on the military camp. They always had contact with a few. The only flaw of the military camp was that if the coalition forces were properly coordinated and took continuous wave-like attacks...
However, most of these Western Region coalition forces are herders. Can they cooperate with each other and have no gaps?
Yesterday, when the Western Regions coalition approached, Menghua had already sent messengers to send messages to Xihai City in the rear.
"Captain, look over there, the coalition logistics camp should be there..." Meng Jin pointed to a direction in the distance, "There is a lot of smoke from there, very dense, obviously cooking food... I guess when these Hu people finish eating, they will start their first attack."
Meng Ting also said from the side: "It seems that the Hu people are going to play this time... they really want to bear these cattle, sheep and horses..."
Li Si, who was originally a guardian of the military camp, said fiercely: "These bad guys are probably because the lords did not hurt them last time!"
Meng Hua nodded slightly.
In principle, he agreed with this point.
The last time when Lu Bu was conquering the Western Regions, he did not take any action against the surrendered city-states, so the power of these states was not seriously damaged.
"The first few waves came up, must have been some old and weak Hu people," Meng Hua ordered, "Let everyone watch carefully later, and aim at the team leader's fight. Don't consume too much impulse in a moment."
Meng Jin and the other three nodded and responded.
Meng Hua turned around and said to the three of them, "This time the coalition forces are aggressive. After the first two or three waves of tests, they will inevitably send elite troops to wait for an opportunity to attack. The attack momentum will definitely be extremely fierce at that time! You need to be very careful. The Hu people like the most is mixed with the old and the weak, and take the opportunity to grab the city! Keep some reserve queues at all times to prevent accidents!"
The three of them responded solemnly!
"Lingerlangs also cook food and prepare to fight!" Meng Hua ordered, "Now that the military camp has sufficient reserves, it is no problem to support it for ten days and half a month! Our mission is to attract more attention from the Western Regions coalition forces. When they relax, they will cooperate with each other and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Li Si first responded to Er Meng, and then asked with a little hesitation: "Ah, the captain... is this the PRINCESS come to help?"
Meng Hua's eyes froze, "What do you mean...what do you want to ask?"
Li Si's hands swung repeatedly, "I...I don't mean anything! I just...I just want to know, no, what I mean is that many men in the army also want to know, the merits that followed the Great Protector before... can those merits be considered..."
Meng Hua fell silent.
Li Si's head was slightly sweating and she was at a loss.
"I'm just a captain..." Meng Hua looked at Li Si and said, "Some things... I can only tell you that we are here to stick to it. Xihai City is our support, and the cavalry has also arrived at Yumen Pass, and the cavalry is everyone's support... The cavalry didn't say anything, so it can be calculated! In this way, do you understand?"
Li Si was stunned and then took a breath, "I understand! I understand!"
Meng Hua waved his hand, "Then go and do it."
Li Si nodded repeatedly and then stepped down.
Meng Ting turned his head and watched Li Si walk down the platform, then whispered: "Captain... do you want it..."
Meng Hua was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "No need to do this. Now it is time to unite, and it is probably inappropriate to act rashly. Besides... People who are in the army fight bloody battles on the battlefield. If they lose even their merits, what else can they expect?"
There are only two types of troops that do not require military merit, but are maintained by faith, the best, and the worst.
The best thing is naturally that from top to bottom, they all have the same beliefs, the concepts are highly consistent, the actions are the same, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation are completely the same. The upper class takes the lead and leads by themselves, and naturally they have extremely strong combat power.
The worst one is like the Yellow Turban Thief, or the current Western Regions Alliance. Although it is based on the name of gods and Buddhas, it is indeed an army composed of faith. However, the lower-ranking people eat grass, the upper-ranking people eat meat, and when enjoying it, I shouted that on behalf of the gods and Buddhas, I asked me first. If I encounter a problem, I will order you to give it to me...
The Han army in the Western Regions was naturally not the best, nor the worst. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with paying attention to meritorious deeds, and it was not worth it. It was particularly nervous because of this.
To be continued...
