After drinking the hot soup, Wu Shigong and others gathered around a campfire and talked.
Wu Shigong picked up the bonfire with a dead branch and said to Li Sanhe: "I didn't even react from behind today, but you guys used red-eye tactics from the front. It really shocked me."
Li Sanhe smiled and replied: "Don't talk about you, sir. I didn't expect these bastards to do this. As soon as they heard the charging whistle, their eyes turned red. But those Liaodong soldiers were too inexperienced.
. We didn’t even try hard to turn our eyes, but they immediately rolled their eyes.”
There was a burst of proud laughter beside the campfire.
"That's true. I didn't expect that the world-famous Liaodong soldiers and horses were such a softie. But I still have to say this. This good steel must be used on the blade. You have to risk your lives to deal with those losers.
If there is any loss, then I will be heartbroken to death!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Those kids will butt heads with each other. They've all tasted the sweetness. Don't tell me, sir, as long as we dare to fight hard and win the Ming Dynasty's army, we are still 100% sure. And we
If we fight tooth and nail, our opponent won’t fight tooth and nail. In this way, our losses will actually be small and there will be no damage at all.”
"It's not wrong to fight tooth and nail. But I'm asking you to fight with your brains, I'm not asking you to fight with your own heads!" Wu Shigong's witty words once again caused a burst of laughter around the campfire.
"Sir." Chi Erwa on the other side blushed and interjected, "Sir, we are all willing to die for you. Be loyal to you and serve you to death. This is the first sentence of our children's camp motto." It seems that the children's camp treats those orphans.
The brainwashing was quite successful.
Wu Shigong smiled encouragingly at Chi Erwa and said, "As long as you enter our Runing camp, all the brothers can safely hand over their backs to their companions."
"But I don't want my brothers to sacrifice casually. We are in the same trouble now, and that is for the same wealth and honor in the future. But if there is no life, how can the wealth come from it?"
"I don't think it's worth it to kill a chicken with a knife like today. Even if you exchange one for ten, I don't think it's worth it."
"Mikawa, I think our military training is too rough. Our brothers have absolutely no problem fighting tough battles, but they still can't fight smart battles."
"For example, for our cavalry, they practice the same routine over and over again: line up in formation and charge hard. It's not that this style of fighting is not possible, but we also have to use different routines in response to different situations!"
"Mikawa, have you noticed? Today I am at the back. After you blew the whistle in front, our cavalry rushed forward. After we dispersed the rebel cavalry, we still maintained the formation and did not respond at all.
There are no means."
"Our soldiers should also be trained more carefully, how to engage in head-on confrontation; how to attack the flanks of the enemy's infantry formation; how to encircle and kill the enemy's lone cavalry; how to pursue; how to alternately cover the retreat; how to retreat during the retreat.
Counterattack...there are many more perfect tricks."
"It's not just you cavalry, the infantry also have to prepare a lot of tricks. Sanhe, have you noticed that when the battle starts, we commanders will not be able to command the troops in front immediately. It all depends on their own performance. This way
In this battle, the outcome is too random, and the middle and low-level officers are allowed to completely master the routines, and let them follow our orders to choose the most suitable routine. In this way, even if they do not win, they will not win.
will be defeated.”
"Of course, we can't just rely on patting our heads to perfect the routine at this moment. Anyway, do what you can think of first, and then work together to improve it. Then compile a tactical manual based on our drills. There is a good routine.
Let all of us learn.”
"Actually, if you look at it, all the people in our Runing camp from top to bottom have become monks in the war. But judging from the results of the battle, those Kong thieves and horses in front of us, who are known as the most powerful army in the world, have not been defeated by us.
Can we do it easily? Even if we fought against the Tatar cavalry last time, we still had the upper hand, right?"
"What do we have in the Runing Camp? We are good at learning. If we learn well, we can be called a strong army. The bandit army on the opposite side is nothing. If we gather all the people in our Runing Camp headquarters, we will definitely be
Those who will beat these rebels are crying for their fathers and mothers. But how to destroy these rebels is a matter for the court, and we don't need to worry about it."
"After all, there are too few people from our Runing camp coming to Shandong this time. I don't have such a high consciousness to sacrifice our brothers from the Runing camp for others. This time it is enough to test the strength of the rebel army. However,
Even if we only rely on the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, the bandit army on the opposite side will be wiped out sooner or later. It will be enough for us to clean our boots from now on."
"And our future opponents will be the Shaanxi bandits and the Tatars! Let's not talk about the Tatars. We all fought against each other when King Qin was king, and their fighting power is comparable to ours. Moreover, they still have the power of a country. How can we do it?
At a disadvantage."
"And the main force of the Shaanxi bandits are the elite soldiers from the three sides! That is the first-class powerful army in the world. And whether it is the Tatars or the Shaanxi bandits, the number of troops dispatched is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even some
Hundreds of thousands. And what about our Runing camp? We have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at full strength. If we want to contend with them, then our soldiers must have at least as much combat power as three of them. So don’t be too proud. There are still many things to do.
ah!"
"Yes! Sir!" The officers around him nodded.
"Erwa!" Wu Shigong then asked Chi Erwa: "How well do you little tigers in the children's camp learn to read?"
"Speaking to the adults! This time we selected the children from the children's camp, and their academic and training results are all excellent."
"It's pretty good! That's good. You must observe carefully and record every detail of this battle. You must also interview every brother who fought and learn from their mouths what our strengths are and what else we have."
There is nothing that needs improvement. The preparation for writing tactical routines this time will start with your records! You must do it carefully!"
Faced with Wu Shigong's trust, Chi Erwa and the soldiers in the boy camp were overjoyed. Chi Erwa puffed up her chest and replied, "I will definitely live up to your trust."
After explaining the business, everyone started chatting around the campfire. Li Sanhe suddenly said to Wu Shigong: "Sir, you ordered us to rest on the spot. But those people over there didn't listen to your order, and they sent some people just now.
Searching around. They said they wanted to collect some tents or something so we could sleep at night."
When they were defeated, the Ming army that Wu Shigong rescued today did abandon all their baggage, and of course they did not carry tents or anything. However, it is still very cold at night in this season, and it is easy to get sick if you sleep in the wilderness without a tent.
However, after the battle at dusk, Wu Shigong and the others had already collected the things carried by the rebels who died in the battle when they were collecting trophies. The tents on the dead horses must not have been spared. Although those tents certainly cannot satisfy everyone.
The soldiers slept, but in this situation, I had to endure it. Fortunately, I only had to endure it for one or two nights.
In fact, all the military attaches tacitly understood why those Ming troops went out to search. It was definitely not for the tents anyway. And Li Sanhe could not help but voice his complaints.
Those Ming troops actually went to take the heads. They didn't go to take the heads of the rebels. Those heads had long been taken by Wu Shigong's Runing camp. They went to take the heads of those who died in the battle.
The heads of the Ming army. Anyway, the soldiers of the Ming army and the rebels were similar in appearance, so let their heads make the final contribution to the surviving Ming army.
But Wu Shigong could understand their behavior. In order to retain the official positions of these defeated Ming military attachés, they needed their heads to offset their guilt.
However, Wu Shigong and other military attachés from the Runing Camp were still very disgusted with the behavior of those Ming troops. After all, they were all comrades in arms! This act of damaging the corpses of comrades in arms could not be called correct in any way.
"Don't worry about them. I can't order them." Wu Shigong said helplessly, "Just pretend that we can't see you, and don't block other people's way. It's not easy to survive these days!"
