Smoke of gunpowder scatters forest birds, and horse hooves scare away night foxes. Under the clear starlight at the end of April, Luliang Mountain and the top of the mountain ten miles near Qingmuzhai are a messy and messy scene.
Among the undulating low ridges, corpses spread forward along the field of vision. Occasionally, burning fires can be seen on the grass, beeping and bubbling, illuminating the nearby corpses. The bloody smell attracted the wolves in the mountains, and in the dark outline
He was munching something in big mouthfuls. Sometimes, he would see swaying figures crawling out of the pile of corpses or the grass, and occasionally he could hear moans in the night sky.
In the direction of Qingmuzhai and the direction opposite to Qingmuzhai, there are occasional unknown sounds of commotion in the mountains and forests. Only this battlefield under the night seems to have been temporarily forgotten.
The previous battle was like an illusion that suddenly appeared under the night sky. After the illusion dissipated, the corpse of the illusion was left behind...
Actually...it wasn't such a big war...
*************
For the battle that will take place outside Qingmu Village, all parties involved have made a lot of preparations in a sense. Of course, on the side of the Luliang bandit alliance, they prepared a large number of people, while in Qingmu
For the village, the entire preparation is longer and more complete, but of course, in terms of numbers, it is definitely incomparable.
From the time Ning Yi gave advice to Hongti to the development and expansion of Qingmuzhai, elite troop training has always been a very important village task. The expansion and development of the village has been a process, and the number of available soldiers has gradually increased.
Of course. Regardless of training level, morale, combat effectiveness, or even being able to use the rationed materials,
It is impossible to cover everything. Since the entire Qingmuzhai survives in an extreme place like Luliang Mountain, if it is really mobilized, 80% of the population can handle knives, but there are more than 2,000 people who have been trained for a long time. In more than 2,000 people, the pyramid
The 1,200 soldiers above were mobilized to participate in the external battle that night.
As for the remaining thousands of soldiers, it was impossible to move because they had to defend the stronghold and at the same time prevent the Great Guangming Sect, Wu Shengjun soldiers, and Tian Hu's elite from getting angry. Therefore, more than 1,200 people faced Lu Liang.
A formation of nearly 6,000 people united by thieves
In theory, it is a bit risky. Before the war started, no one could be too sure about the outcome. But of course, in the tense days of Qingmuzhai, Hongti, Cao Qianyong, Han Jing and others still
A large number of these soldiers were mobilized.
This kind of ideological work has actually never stopped since the development of Qingmuzhai. The military training methods Ning Yi gave to Hongti include some copies of military training for later generations, and some summaries of today's military books. In fact, ancient military training methods
Most books focus on conciseness and conciseness
, There are many reasons for this, such as the cumbersomeness of the writing carrier such as bamboo slips, the simplicity of various ideas before they are fully integrated, such as the "sense of ritual" and "sense of sublimity" carried by writing in the early stages of development, requiring them to tend to
It is concise and even tends to be unclear.
For example, there is a sentence in the "Tao Te Ching" "Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs". If simplified to modern thinking, it means that all things in the world can be regarded as ordinary elements. These elements operate under fixed rules and never change.
Deviation is caused by will, likes and dislikes, so when we understand things, the world, and society, we must recognize
Understand these laws... From this sentence, it is deduced, which contains a huge philosophical system. When Lao Tzu wrote this sentence, it not only included the most superficial cognition, but also included the deepest derivation.
, so when he wrote a book and established his theory, he could not just write down the superficial aspects, but the deep-level deductions were what he valued.
Similar to these classics, the ancients' military books, such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", also have a system in each paragraph. It is like an outline. Only by deducing according to it can it be used in all situations. But of course , as a modern person, after experiencing countless fusions of ideas, Ning Yi can still try to simplify the directional part. In the end, his advice to Hong Ti mainly focused on three aspects: discipline, back and subjectivity. initiative.
As for the details of how to mobilize troops, how to ensure logistics, and whether to eat and live with the soldiers, he threw a few military books and asked Hongti to take them back for the mountain people to figure out for themselves.
A few untouchable, iron-clad disciplines ensure that the subordinates can obey the orders and prohibitions. In various trainings, trusting that there is someone behind you to protect you can increase the sense of community, and also make people trust each other more and believe in the cooperation of their companions on the battlefield. As for subjective initiative, of course it is morale, and it is also ideological work similar to brainwashing. These three points complement each other, and are actually similar to later generations of management companies.
Therefore, since the development of Qingmuzhai, these three points have been done well. Ideological work has come from several directions: remembering the bitter and remembering the sweet; telling them what kind of enemy they have to face; letting them see the surrounding villages by themselves, Which one is like Qingmuzhai? Let them discuss more about how everyone can move if Qingmuzhai is breached.
——The last item is discussed among the soldiers almost every month. It then causes a chain reaction: it will make most people imagine what will happen to Qingmuzhai after it is broken. After that, they will be angry, who If he wants to beat us, some people will ask, we are so well trained now, who has the ability to beat us.
Then the top will throw out candidates: Liao people and Jin people. They are all likely to attack. Of course, the Liao people have been defeated at this time, but the Jin people are more powerful. Imagine how they used to beat grass and valleys. They will definitely be able to fight. It's called, what will we do when the time comes, so we have to think about it.
At this stage, some people will inevitably become depressed, and then the people above will tell them and let them think about it. Even if they escape to other villages in Luliang Mountain, they cannot avoid this result. The conclusion is that it can be easily obtained. What came out: Only Qingmuzhai is the best. Then it will give everyone a signal. Such a good life and such powerful training in Qingmuzhai will be aimed at dealing with Jinren in the future - that is the opponent!
After reaching this point in ideological work, everyone will start to talk about the Jinren - that is, the invincible family history of the Jurchens. This information is all compiled and provided by Ning Yi, and it is also quite provocative. Then everyone will It was found that the situation of the Jurchens was similar to that of Luliang Mountain. They also lived a very hard life and were bullied. They were also ruthless. They could not survive and dared to fight. After they were unified, they had a Once the hero is disciplined and obeys orders, the myth of the Jurchens being invincible begins.
——People will find that we are not the prototype of the Jurchens.
This series of ideological rectification has gone through a lot of attempts. During this period, specialized training, enough food to fill the stomach, and hard training, in such a group, everyone's understanding of "becoming stronger" It’s obvious: we are really awesome now!
At the same time, Qingmuzhai has been expanding and developing. Although it often conflicts with the outside world and kills people, there has never been a real large-scale dispatch. The Blood Bodhisattva's kindness to others has made many people feel hungry and thirsty: Luliang Mountain
These people are different from the recruits in other places. They have all seen each other before
It's normal for those who are over-blooded to kill several people just for a bite of food. The lack of food and the toughness of Qingmuzhai made them learn discipline. After learning discipline, they felt that they were stronger, but they couldn't go out, just like Mingzhu.
Walking in the dark, wearing brocade clothes at night, watching the other peaks of Luliang Mountain jumping around in all kinds of ways, I felt really unhappy.
But this time, the Jurchens didn't come, but people from other mountains really jumped over.
Since there were not many people to be dispatched, Cao Qianyong, Han Jing and others had been mobilizing for a few days before the dispatch: "Think about your purpose! Think about how much more training you have received than those guys outside the mountain! Look at it.
Around you, you are very strong! Outside the mountains, they are just a group of
A ragtag group of people who only rely on blood and bravery, and don't even have a battle formation! If you let them see blood, they will turn around and run away! Now, they dare to force themselves into our Qingmuzhai, which is simply unreasonable! You have been waiting for a year, and now
, it’s time for the entire Luliang Mountains to open their eyes——"
After these mobilizations, the soldiers in the mountains were very enthusiastic. In the brigade and the squad, one or two were extremely excited: "Boss, who do you want to kill..."
"Boss, I know who to kill. I know a lot of people in that gang... How dare a bunch of fucking eggless people come to join in the fun..."
"I can finally go out and have a good time, it feels so good..."
In such an atmosphere, Hongti had no choice but to send a message to Cao Qianyong and Han Jing, asking them to give orders. The people below should try to be calm, not be reckless or arrogant, and remember the past training closely. Strategically, you can despise the enemy, but tactically, you must pay attention to the enemy.
.And this order is naturally Ning Yi’s indirect persuasion to Hong Ti.
As the first battle, he was not sure, but caution was right. Even if the people below were like chicken blood, the leaders of the village, Cao Qianyong, Han Jing, etc., were also vigilant enough. That night, when
A bonfire was lit in the Juyi Hall, and they led more than 1,200 people out, and they were very strict.
They solemnly discussed the strategy of the battle: which group of people should be attacked first, which team should capture the thieves first, how to intersperse, respond, and cooperate with each other. After such careful planning, they and the people escorting Yu who came down from the back mountain
The two hundred men of the wooden cannon gathered together, and the final lineup was 1,400 versus 6,000.
Seven miles away from Qingmuzhai, the mountain ridge called Huochuanling is full of bonfires and military formations. The "Black Skeleton King" Luan Sanlang is in the middle, Chen Jiaqu's team led by "Chaos Mountain King" Chen Zhenhai is in the front left, and Fang Yiyang's brother's team
Wu was on the high side of the mountain, slightly to the rear and right, but they had the largest number of cavalry in the formation. Among them, there were also a large number of Luliang retail investors, as well as more than 600 people who were originally small bandits and were placed on the side of Luan Sanlang.
With fire all over the mountains and plains, facing the square formation of more than 1,400 people, the two sides faced off silently. Although Luan Sanlang and others also sent envoys to chat with Cao Qianyong and Han Jing, they were still waiting.
Following Qingmuzhai's decision, he suppressed his emotions.
Compared with the slightly quiet lineup of 1,400 people in Qingmuzhai, the 6,000 coalition troops on Huochuan Ridge seemed to be in particularly high spirits. Many retail investors lit bonfires, barbecued meat, sang, drank, wiped steel knives, and showed their disdain.
Looking at the people in Qingmu Village below, Luan Sanlang and others occasionally passed by
Go and have fun with some of them. As long as they can take over Qingmuzhai, this party is the best opportunity for them to increase their influence. Among them, some people spoke loudly and provoked, and there were even several groups of people who fought over each other's quarrels.
They got up and caused a small commotion on the mountain.
Cao Qianyong, Han Jing and others looked solemn, and were quite angry after being provoked by some people.
Until the fireworks rose on Qingmuzhai, and then another firework came from several miles away. Even if the people on the mountain didn't understand this, they could guess that it was the signal from Qingmuzhai. They were roaring all over the mountain.
The troops drew their swords, and the torches gathered like a restless ocean. But here,
Han Jing had a gloomy face and whispered to the people around him: "This is the first battle..." He took out a piece of paper and took a look at it. He always felt that there was something on the paper that was not advertised originally.
It felt a little random and embarrassing, but at this time, I said it naturally.
"Battle name: beating children. Begin."
This mobilization order was definitely not written by Hong Ti... He thought to himself. But next to him, Cao Qianyong rode his horse and raised his sword, and the tiger roared.
"Aokijiro has them all! Follow me... trample them to death——"
The next moment, the roars of Luan Sanlang and others came from the ridge: "Charge! Eat them—"
They were probably shaking, and figures were coming in waves. In the lineup of Qingmuzhai, the people in the front row only fired a burst of arrows. The companions in the rear were already shouting loudly and running out wildly. Those with bows and arrows then put their bows and arrows on their backs, drew their swords and followed
superior.
They seem to have the same morale. The soldiers are facing each other, and all the figures are melting together. It is almost impossible to distinguish the camps and they are fighting madly...
Cao Qianyong, Han Jing and others were trying to identify the people on their side in the battle formation, trying to see clearly the pros and cons of the battle. Soon after - about five minutes according to Ning Yi's timing - there was a light in the battle
The side of the array began to shoot out and explode. It was the secret weapon brought by Ning Yi. And after two so long, the development of everything caught people off guard...
"Purge the formation! Purge the formation! Whose team is running up the mountain? Don't rush in. Come to me and stop them. Don't rush in! Don't fall into the trap! Who is that on the right! Why did they rush into the forest?
Gone—fuck! Come back—"
"The third brigade! The third brigade, Qi Qianjun! Why are they still rushing forward! Your mother...what are you doing...what? Did you ask them to cooperate with the fifth brigade before? The group of people running across the ridge are the third brigade.
From the fifth brigade? Zheng Shitou and his gang will be fully responsible for anything that happens! He thinks that his father is the leader of the second village and he can cause chaos! I want to file a lawsuit with his father. I want to file a lawsuit with his father.
, told them not to come in rashly - why did you bring me your head, whose -"
"Fangfangfangfangfangfangfang——"
"Fang, your mother——"
"Fang Yiyang's..."
"Gah..."
On the huge battlefield, when they saw the scene clearly, Cao Qianyong, Han Jing and others suddenly found that their command rights had passed away like a landslide. They were so anxious that they jumped to their feet and their eyes were red. However, if they review the entire situation,
The whole scene was so weird that it left people speechless.
Originally, it looked like they were charging each other full of passion, and the morale of both sides was extremely high. Of course, since it seemed intuitively that there were not many people on their side, everyone in Qingmuzhai was still nervous. Therefore, when the battle began,
They rushed forward with all their strength. The current military system of Qingmuzhai is very simple - because Ning Yi is in the book
It's just an "analogy" and written simply, so the step-by-step Qingmuzhai is basically a childish organization of five people in a group, ten people in a squad, thirty people in a squadron, and a hundred people in a brigade - because there are people around, as a
The captains of each brigade couldn't see clearly what the situation was. Anyway, they just had to keep fighting forward according to the predetermined plan.
When they came to their senses, they discovered that the people on their side were cutting into the mountains where the Luliang bandits were fighting like tofu...
Especially after the cannon was fired, under the magnificent light and shadow effect, the 600 people who were once the thieves in the center of the coalition suddenly mutinied. Many people shouted "The magic is here again..." and turned around and ran away.
For the people in Qingmuzhai, many people still don’t know what happened, especially those chasing after them.
A large team behind several hundred people shouted "Stop and die" and ran the fastest, but not many people were killed. Their morale was high, and then a team of rescue heroes descended from the sky and tried to stop them.
When they saw clearly, a big man on horseback rushed towards them, shouting: "Who dares to fight with me, Fang Yiyang!"
The momentum of the two sides was like waves crashing onto the rocks. Fang Yiyang rode his horse and slashed, while the most powerful members of Qingmuzhai in front of the team couldn't think much about it. They rushed forward and handed out moves at the same time. Those who cooperated.
The move is red ti
I usually taught him, but for some reason, Fang Yiyang was knocked off his horse after he knocked someone away. When his subordinates rushed over from behind, Fang Yiyang himself was overwhelmed by the surging crowd and was trampled to death.
.
For Luan Sanlang and others, the scene in front of them was definitely the most bizarre experience. Some of his core men were still strong. But the charge of the coalition forces was like a tide. After washing them ashore, the water quickly
The ground receded, and when he came to his senses, Qingmuzhai's
Three centurions had already begun to gnaw around them, and Chen Zhenhai's men turned around and ran away. In the distance, Han Jing was yelling angrily in the darkness. Luan Sanlang didn't even understand what he was still cursing. Who the hell would win?
Okay, what is going on now...
The situation on the entire battlefield, amid such boiling and weirdness, was so gorgeously out of control... (To be continued...)
