Xiahou Dun ran very decisively and had no choice but to run away. If he hesitated for a while, he might be tricked by the cavalry. He was not afraid of dying in the hands of those cavalry, but he was afraid of being entangled.
Thinking of the seven burly men behind him, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel the cold air coming from behind his buttocks. He subconsciously slapped the horse's buttocks with his hand, "Ah!" A scream sounded, and Xiahou Dun remembered that he was holding a Cheng Yu in his hand.
…
"Ah, I'm sorry." He apologized and quickly put Cheng Yu behind him.
The seven burly men behind him were too brutal. Once caught by them, he would be put into various poses... He felt chills in his heart just thinking about that scene.
In front of him were 30,000 civilians, a large amount of food and baggage, and 5,000 soldiers. Behind him was Liu Bei's army, which was watching eagerly. A difficult decision was placed in front of Xiahou Dun. Should he organize his troops to retreat or...?
"Little Xiahou, where can you escape?!"
A roar like thunder sounded behind him, followed by an air cannon that quickly hit him. He swung the big gun in his hand at the air cannon that was about to attack. Now, Xiahou Dun didn't have to think about it... Just run away, I won't say it.
twice!
Without even thinking, he knew that Zhang Fei was catching up with him. As for whether anyone else caught up with him, did it matter?
He can't even defeat Zhang Fei alone, so why bother thinking so much!
The army was defeated like a mountain, and the distance between the front and rear was only more than a thousand meters. Under the chain reaction, Xiahou Dun didn't even need to give orders, and the soldiers behind him had already started to escape.
The battle took less than half an hour. The rest of the time was spent collecting prisoners and cleaning the battlefield. The work was not finished until it got dark.
This is not a suitable place to camp, and the smell of blood is too strong. Although as a soldier, he doesn't care about the smell of blood when the world is in chaos, but why must he suffer here when there is a good environment.
Night marches and the like are routine training items in Liu Bei's army. The prisoners are escorted and retreated to find a suitable place to camp.
At night, except for the soldiers on night watch, all other soldiers went to sleep. Even though there were more than 4,000 prisoners and 30,000 civilians recruited, the fire was still brightly lit in the Chinese army's tent.
The post-war summary meeting still needs to be held.
Regardless of victory or defeat, one must sum up experience and gains and losses. This military order is a rule set by Wang Xuan early in the morning. Not only must he summarize verbally, but he must also write military reports by hand afterwards. These reports will be summarized and reorganized into systematic battle cases.
The report is used as a teaching case for the military academy under preparation.
Therefore, there is no one who does not attach great importance to this work. Even Hua Xiong, an old man who has just studied for a short time, has to think carefully and come up with his ideas one by one, even though his handwriting is like a dog crawling.
There is no way. When someone mentions it in school in the future, so-and-so participated in a certain war, but they don’t understand anything and can’t write about any experience... With the establishment of the academy, I’m afraid they will be laughed at.
century!
Moreover, this summary must not only be done by high-level officers, but also by middle-level generals. Officers at the grassroots level must worry about their soldiers to make summaries. They must sum up their experiences and gains and losses, layer by layer, in order to strive for a better future.
Fight the battle, win the battle, and win the battle alive!
Compared with military strategists from hundreds of schools, Wang Xuan's order was the first systematic summary of military experience in history, turning the theoretical art of war into an all-encompassing discipline and making it a prominent science.
Regarding this war, the losses were almost negligible, but the gains were quite substantial.
"There are more than 34,600 prisoners in total, and the baggage..." Bu Zhi read out the statistics. As Wang Xuan's full-time secretary, Bu Zhi was responsible for these tasks.
Anyway, as long as Bu Zhi's younger sister Bu Lianshi doesn't come to Zi, Bu Zhi will never be let out for the rest of his life. This is not punishment, well, this is called training. It depends on whether Bu Zhi's understanding is high enough.
"For civilians and so on, let them have a good meal, bring a few days of rations and let them go." Wang Xuan waved his hand and said directly.
"Let him go? Why should he let the prisoner who was finally captured be let go!" Zhang Fei shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Speak lower!" After glaring at Zhang Fei, Wang Xuan rubbed his ears and then said: "No matter what you do, they are all big men. Even if you lack labor force, you can still take advantage of them.
, the families were separated, and besides, Yanzhou will be our territory sooner or later."
"What's more, no one goes back, who knows we will win a big victory." After saying the last sentence, Guo Jia and Liu Ye's eyes lit up, and even Zhang Fei realized that the previous words were nonsense, and only the last sentence
That's the key point, but I just can't understand it!
Wang Xuan raised his head at Guo Jia and motioned for him to come out and answer.
"The meaning of Zai Zhi is that if these civilians are put back and spread by 30,000 people, the entire Yanzhou will know about the process of this battle. If we add fuel to the flames, it will definitely have better results and let the world know
The princes know how powerful our fighting force is, so don’t touch our tiger beards if you have nothing to do. In addition, let the people of the world know that the lord is benevolent. As long as he surrenders honestly, he will not kill them. This will save the future wars.
At that time, the enemy resisted desperately, after all, no one is not afraid of death."
"If we don't put the people back this time, I'm sure Cao, the married woman, will definitely publicize that we killed all the people, even the civilian husbands. Most of them were slaughtered, and a few were forced to do hard labor to death from exhaustion.
Well, then wherever we attack when the time comes, it will be strange if the other party doesn't fight to the death!"
After Guo Jia finished explaining, people who didn't understand suddenly realized that public opinion offensive is very important. This is explained in the military book summarized by Wang Xuan. Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is also called "mouth cannon"!
Thirty thousand civilians are just a pretext. The main force of the real propaganda is the spies spread out in the past two years under the auspices of Wang Xuan. They will specially spread the news among the major cities, markets, and the lower-level soldiers of the princes. This skill has been very smooth. Liu Bei
His reputation spread not only among the major princes, but also among the people.
Even among bandits and bandits all over the world, there is a saying: If you don’t know Liu Xuande in your life, you can’t do anything if you want to be a hero...
…
Chen Liu, Cao Cao's residence.
Looking at Xiahou Dun and Cheng Yu who had almost come back alone, the wife Cao's face turned darker than ever before!
I thought that you might be defeated, but I never thought that you would be defeated so cleanly. This is really so clean that there is no room left. Wife Cao’s heart is bleeding, and I have 20,000 soldiers!
"Come here, get Xiahou Dun out and kill him!" The wife Cao's expression changed, and he suddenly shouted loudly. With 20,000 soldiers and countless food and baggage, he had to make a gesture for such a huge loss.
