The overly steep hillsides and mountain roads also stopped these war horses from moving forward, and even some of them were not brave enough - but this is normal. Where have these war horses ever seen a mountain road with only an inch of mountain road and a cliff of ten thousand feet on the left?
From time to time, a war horse would fall off the cliff, letting out a few mournful screams in the air, and then with a roar, the rocks would roll down.
At this time, everyone will be refreshed.
"Be careful!"
Qin Changfeng also reminded him at every turn.
It’s so difficult!
When this unparalleled Liangzhou Army comes to Sichuan and Shu, its combat effectiveness will probably plummet by ten percent. This is why in later strategy war games, there are troop restraints, as well as the influence of terrain, weather and climate.
and.
From time to time, some Shu troops would emerge from the mountains and conduct sneak attacks. The losses suffered by the Liangzhou Army along the way were actually very heavy.
In addition, at this time, it is already the beginning of spring, and the humidity in the mountains is unbearable, and mosquito bites. The mosquitoes in Sichuan and Sichuan are still quite fierce. It is often the case that one bite will cause swelling.
This is the case when marching and fighting, and various situations will occur.
fine.
There are a lot of medicinal materials in the Sichuan and Shu mountains. The doctor who followed the army quickly found some medicinal materials to reduce swelling, which made people feel better.
"Cheng Kai!"
Qin Changfeng walked in the front, holding a thick branch in his hand and using it as a walking stick, and shouted.
"The end is here!"
Cheng Kai quickly ran over.
Qin Changfeng laughed loudly: "What do you think when you look at the terrain of Sichuan and Sichuan these days?"
He likes this young man Cheng Kai very much.
He was smart and motivated. Although he came from a poor family, he loved reading and was diligent in military affairs. Qin Changfeng regarded him as his younger brother and wanted to support him.
When Cheng Kai heard this, he coughed dryly and said seriously: "If the three armies are high up on the mountain, they will be inhabited by the enemy; if they are below the mountain, they will be imprisoned by the enemy. Since they are surrounded by mountains, they will be surrounded by birds and clouds."
Chen. Chen of birds and clouds, both yin and yang are prepared. Either the yin is placed, or the yang is placed. When it is located in the yang of the mountain, be prepared for the yin of the mountain;
; On the right side of the mountain, prepare the left side of the mountain. If the enemy can mausoleum on the mountain, prepare the troops on the outside. The roads lead to the valley. We must use military chariots and place banners high. I would like to order the three armies not to let the enemy know our feelings.
It is called a mountain city. The ranks have been set, the soldiers have been arranged, the laws have been implemented, and the strange and correct things have been set up. They have set up a charge on the mountain surface, and the troops have been placed. They are divided into chariots and cavalry. The three armies are fighting quickly. Although the enemy is numerous
, the general can be captured."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
This is the rule of the Liangzhou Army.
On the march, Qin Changfeng would ask some relatively appropriate questions for his generals to discuss and learn from.
Cheng Kai's words are part of the "Three Tips and Six Strategies" about fighting in the mountains and forests. It is also part of the defensive warfare in the mountains and forests.
The specific translation content is:
If the army is deployed on the top of a mountain, it will be easily isolated by the enemy; if the army is deployed at the foot of the mountain, it will be easily surrounded and imprisoned by the enemy. Since we are fighting in a mountainous environment, we must form a formation of birds and clouds, so-called
The Formation of Birds and Clouds means guarding all sides of the mountain, south and north. The army can either be stationed on the north side of the mountain, or stationed on the south side of the mountain. If it is stationed on the south side of the mountain, it must be guarded on the north side of the mountain; if it is stationed on the north side of the mountain, it must be guarded on the north side of the mountain.
south.
When stationed on the left side of the mountain, be on guard against the right side of the mountain; when stationed on the right side of the mountain, be on guard against the left side of the mountain. Wherever the enemy can climb the mountain, troops should be sent to guard it. Traffic arteries and passable valleys should be guarded by troops.
The chariots were blocked and flags were hoisted to facilitate communication.
Organize the three armies and stand ready to prevent the enemy from knowing the situation of our army. This will become a mountain city. The ranks of the troops have been arranged, the soldiers have been arrayed, the decree has been issued, the use of special forces has been determined, and the troops have been organized into charge.
The formation is arranged on a relatively prominent high ground on the mountain where it is convenient for fighting. Then the chariots and cavalry are arranged into a formation of birds and clouds. In this way, when the enemy comes to attack, our entire army will fight fiercely. Even though the enemy's army is numerous, they will be defeated.
Their generals can also be captured by me.
so.
Cheng Kai's answer is completely correct.
Qin Changfeng asked again: "I led the army deep into the enemy's territory, encountered a forest, and faced each other with a part of the forest occupied by the enemy. I want my defense to be stable and my offense to be victorious. What should I do?"
Cheng Kai smiled brightly and said: "Let our three armies be divided into Chongchen and Chen. We will prepare the troops' positions. We will use bows and crossbows as the exterior and shields as the interior. We will cut down the grass and trees and widen our roads to facilitate the battle. We will place banners high. I would like to order you to do so."
The three armies do not let the enemy know our feelings. This is called forest warfare. The method of forest warfare is to lead our spears and halberds to fight with each other. The trees in the forest are sparse, supplemented by cavalry, and the chariots are in the front. We fight when we see them and do not see them.
Stop when you are ready. There are many dangers in the forest, so you must prepare for the front and rear. The three armies fight quickly. Although the enemy is numerous, the generals can leave. Fight more and stop, each according to his own department. This is called the discipline of forest warfare."
This means.
Deploy our army into a charging formation and arrange it in a place convenient for combat. The bows and crossbows are placed on the outer layer, and the halberds and shields are placed on the inner layer. The grass and trees are cut down and the roads are widened to facilitate our army's combat operations.
Hanging the flag high, strictly restraining the entire army, and not letting the enemy know about our army's situation is what is called forest warfare.
