Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took a breath of cold air. Even if he was brave and had not experienced much war at this time, he was shocked by the situation revealed in Ye Qing's words. This was going to...
Guo listened to Ye Qing's meaningful instructions: "Everyone, go get some rest. We're still going strong tonight."
Zhang Fei turned around to go down, but Guan Yu pulled Ye Qing back: "Brother, this is a dangerous move."
"There is a saying - strategy is correct because it is correct, and battle is correct because of victory. To put it bluntly, battles are all about taking risks." Ye Qing admitted frankly and explained: "This is because the battlefield is ever-changing and the two armies are fighting each other.
, both have risks and opportunities, but timing is all based on experience? I think there is a more qi principle behind it... Second brother, do you know what military qi is?"
Guan Yu's heart moved: "I would like to hear the details."
"Military spirit has always been very realistic. Without a stable supply of military rations, strength cannot remain stable for a long time." Ye Qing remembered something and looked a little weird: "Second brother, keep an eye out in the future. Maybe you can see big fights changing into small ones, and you can quench your thirst with plum blossoms.
Even the heroes of troubled times can't do these tricks without food or water."
The importance of grain roads is common knowledge. Guan Yu nodded. Although he had never heard of the latter two, he could understand them literally... Who is the hero of troubled times?
Guan Yu frowned slightly in confusion, but before he could think about it, he heard Ye Qing say immediately: "Military rations are only one part of it. Without veterans and team leaders to maintain it, the force will collapse. No matter how huge it is, it will be nothing but scattered sand."
This is said to be a "lesson". Liu Bei originally had no shortage of generals in the early and mid-term, but he could only bully the Yellow Turbans. Even later, when the Yellow Turbans gained momentum, he was beaten to the point of running away.
Against the princes, anyone can ravage Liu Bei. He suffers because he does not have a "system", and without a system, there is no base. It was not until later that he temporarily lived in Xuzhou, and finally a white-eared army was built, and the war gradually began.
Change.
It can be said that Liu Bei's biggest shortcoming is that he does not have an "organization". For a long time, his team has done things because of people, not because of things.
Ye Qing pointed to the continuous bandit camp at the foot of the mountain, and said with half ridicule and half emotion: "Look at this camp, it is quite organized. It can be seen that its people still have some thoughts, and there is no shortage of capable people to join them."
"But building a military system is far from enough. If we give it a few more years, maybe we can build a foundation. By then, the power of sweeping Youji will be complete, and the Northland will be ours... It's a pity that I see through it tonight."
If the truth is revealed, he is destined to have no chance."
"Although the military spirit of the camp is numerous, it is scattered. Only a little white and red condenses in the center... This is the gathering of people's morale. Where has the core of military morale gone?"
Ye Qing chuckled and pointed at the red light in the distance: "Two-thirds of the elite soldiers and veterans here are raping and looting. It's true that dogs can't change and eat shit... I was attacked by Zhang Gao just now, so I don't remember it."
pain"
"We have won a lot of battles, and we have a lot of energy to win... I would rather believe that this bandit commander Cheng Yuanzhi has some power, but the rogue bandit group can conquer his subordinates all the way, but a little setback will give rise to resentment... a tough-minded person
People avoid each other, they rush to be the first when there is fat, everyone takes credit when they are fighting for it, and everyone blames others when they are trying to pass the buck... Do you see this good show at the city gate?"
"The so-called wild dogs only eat for themselves. The strong are inside, the old and the weak are outside, and they eat without caring about what's behind them. This is the situation tonight. Although there are many people left behind, they are just people's hearts. These must be the family members who are accompanying the army. The military spirit is exhausted
In the city.
"On the top of the mountain, there are rankings. If you have a knife, you will have money and food. If you make a fortune, you will make a profit. How many of you have considered the overall outcome? If the bandits are let into the city, they are just dogs running wild. How can they be taken back? To put it harshly, think about it.
Take it back, is one whole day enough?"
Zhang Fei nodded in agreement, feeling a little excited: "It's exactly what my elder brother said. As long as we pinpoint the location of the thief chief and take his head, these tens of thousands of thief soldiers will collapse."
Guan Yu thought for a long time and said: "I'm afraid it's not that easy. If the thief commander Cheng Yuanzhi is alert, even if he loses control of the thief army and is unable to gather it, his direct troops can still control it. How can he be unprepared?"
"That's it..."
"It's okay. We only have one chance at most to charge into a large camp with tens of thousands of people. I'm not crazy if I want to fight for a long time..." Ye Qing smiled: "Now as long as we win a small victory or can burn some supplies, we'll be fine."
It's my original intention to boost morale."
"But raping and plundering consumes physical strength. When the soldiers are tired and the outer camp falls asleep, if they charge, they may be able to blow up the camp and make it collapse."
"So just charge forward, so as not to lose your morale. Opportunities are taken, not thought out." After a pause, Ye Qing looked from a distance, and his expression changed slightly: "Wait another half an hour, thief.
The army's morale is almost exhausted and can be attacked."
"Look for the superiors among the thieves who have killed them, and send them to lead the way and open the door."
"yes"
Half an hour later, Yuan Fan staggered down from the height, and the heavy rain took away the last bit of warmth in his heart.
The camp with lights and stars filled his field of vision, which originally brought a familiar sense of security, but after slashing his boss to death with a knife, this was the repressed fear...
It is not difficult to imagine what will happen to the wife and daughter who are still in the old camp if a little bit is revealed...
The surrounding companions were all silent. Everyone abandoned their helmets and armor, and rushed towards the camp gate like a defeated army. The heavy rain did not dampen the flames of the large courtyard. The firelight was projected in front of the camp gate, and through the rain curtain, every face was reflected.
It's getting darker and darker - this is indeed a defeated army.
"Hey you..." The watchman on the high arrow tower shouted to the people below. He found familiar people among the crowd, noticed the embarrassment and blood stains on everyone's body, and suddenly lost his voice...
Chasing 50 soldiers and being defeated like this?
"Where are the remaining people?" the lookout soldier said.
Yuan Fan opened his mouth, forgetting everything he had learned about rhetoric. For a moment, the twenty-six-year-old young man's legs became weak and he could not support his body, and his whole body was shaking nervously.
"how so……"
Yuan Fan tried hard to think of what to say, but couldn't recall anything. He only thought of many useless things in an instant.
He was born in Qingzhou, and could barely use the money to redeem himself as a soldier. After one year of guard training and two years of officer training, he was very conspicuous in the refugee camp and was selected by Marshal Cheng to be an infantryman for his army.
He was very lucky. Several attacks on the city did not reach the point where his own troops were dispatched, thus avoiding the tragedy of death.
It was my first time to go out to chase the enemy that night. Not long after I left the camp, I happened to be behind. Just when I heard people complaining about the rain, I saw a panic in front of me. Some people were shouting kill, some were screaming, and the ground was shaking...
The captain of the team encouraged people to rush forward: "The commander-in-chief said that if you kill one, you will be rewarded with a bag of rice..."
Thinking of his half-starved wife and children in the camp, he plucked up the courage and, together with the people around him, rushed forward with howls and screams... But with a roar of thunder, the crowd broke through in front, and a black torrent rushed over, stepping on
Following the bodies of some companions... with the sound of broken bones and groans, the black flag turned in the drizzle, and the three of them galloped forward. Without even looking at the small group of sluggish remnants, this group of ferocious cavalry had already turned towards them.
The other side.
A group of soldiers were gathering in the rebellious army, and Lin Tou's last voice came out: "Form up, form up, don't fucking run around and scream, ah..."
After waking up from the sluggish state, he was already kneeling on the ground, having been disarmed. There were no screaming people around, only an oppressive and deadly atmosphere. The corpses were even stripped of their clothes, their heads were chopped off, and they were thrown on the ground.
Corpses piled up like mountains, blood stained the ground red, and the rain turned into rivers of blood. Realizing this, he felt a little numb.
There was a figure on the hill giving instructions below, and some people were selected, who were their leaders... The knife was sent back, and with the cold command, the atmosphere gradually became weird, and finally turned into a scene of sword light and blood.
In the shadows separated by a mountain from the camp, there were sounds of rain, screams, begging for mercy, curses...
Yuan Fan took one look and was met with a pair of cold eyes. The biting coldness penetrated into his heart along with the rain. When he suppressed his fear and slashed at the squad leader, everything was irreversible.
Holding the knife again, he returned to the battlefield... just because there was no way to go, and it was also this terrifying man's promise that his family would claim him after he died.
If you survive, you can still see your family, and you are no longer a thief...
"I don't want to die, I still want to see them..." Thinking like this, mixed with a sense of resentment and courage, his trembling body stabilized and he raised his eyes to look at the arrow tower.
A camp gate officer came up from the arrow tower. He could sit in this position, so he was more stable. This man was wearing a thick raincoat. He lifted up his bamboo hat and took a look. Seeing the defeated army, he was a little worried and asked: "Where is your Captain Lin?"
There was a commotion around, some people hesitated and glanced at the camp, and instantly a cold gaze fell on their backs... The commotion subsided instantly, and those who dared to speak out and had reasons to do so were all dead.
Only a voice replied: "... Lieutenant Lin was ambushed by Zhang Gao, as well as the officers and soldiers of Zhuojun. Our brothers are in great danger this time."
Yuan Fan knew this voice. He usually kept quiet in the team and was only known for his bravery. This time, he worked the hardest to kill Captain Lin, and he was the one who could not look back...
"If I had known what I was chasing, I wouldn't have gained anything, so I might as well have gone to the city to steal food, money, and women," someone else shouted, venting their regret and fear.
The camp gate officer recognized a few people who were talking, and looked at everyone again. He saw that everyone was worried, and he suddenly understood in his heart, and he felt happy and happy about the misfortune.
I also remembered that there was a cavalry unit that was also in a panic, and it was Zhang Gao, so I believed it (it turned out that the cavalry was attacked, and I couldn't figure out who it was, so I thought of Zhang Gao).
"Let them in." The camp gate officer waved his hand and his tone became condescending: "I'll report it to the commander-in-chief."
After saying that, he climbed down the long pole of the arrow tower with great effort, the camp gate opened, and the crowd rushed in quickly. The camp gate officer was suddenly frightened, and when he looked, he saw a face with a big face and big ears, speaking to him: "I am
If you want to report it to the commander, we will go together."
"Who are you?"
"My name is...Ye Qing, team leader. We want to report Captain Lin's accident this time."
The camp gate officer was talking to Ye Qing, feeling more and more uneasy. He looked at you carefully and said, "You are very strange. Why haven't I seen you before? I should have an impression of you."
