Chapter 103 Planning
The generals immediately fell silent. Just listen to Luo Shifan say word by word: "Moreover, this battle is likely to be a bloody battle that our army has never seen before. Our army will undoubtedly win in the early stage, but if we can't be ruthless, we will fight until the bloody battle." Flow into a river, kill the opponent until he is dead, kill until there is no one left to kill... As long as we are soft-handed, our army will be defeated! It's a small thing, but there is no doubt about this situation!"
With a buzz, the generals exploded. Gao Tengdou was the first to laugh out loud: "We all admire the young military commander's uncanny calculation. However, the young military commander also said just now that our army's opponent in this battle may be the people. The people, when they see blood, don't they just make a fool of themselves? And break up? If we can’t even defeat the villagers holding hoes, wouldn’t we all be useless? Hahaha.”
Gong Derun said: "Ahem, Gong also feels that the young military advisor seems to be a little worried. Lao Gao's three flying beast battalions have all seen blood, not to mention the commander's personal guard battalion and cavalry. Three thousand long The elite soldiers in the battle formation are facing the Beijing camp. It is not yet known who will win. Why are they afraid of the rabble of villagers? Having said that, even if there is an accident, my Gangfeng camp can still come over to help. "
Gu Baihua thought he understood Luo Shifan's little thoughts, and was about to give his uncle a few words to help him out. Guan Shengyun slapped Shuai An and said, "Shut up, everyone! Listen to the young military advisor!"
Luo Shifan cast a grateful glance at Guan Shengyun, turned to Gong Derun and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Gong, I know you are a good man. But let me ask you, how many people do you think you can kill in a hand-to-hand encounter?"
Gong Derun scratched his head and replied sheepishly: "In terms of martial arts, I am definitely not Gu Manzi's opponent, but three or five should be no problem."
Luo Shifan smiled: "Brother Gong is too modest. You are talking about armored soldiers, right? What if they are civilians without any decent weapons? There must be more than ten or eight, right?"
The generals didn't know what kind of medicine the young military advisor was selling in the gourd, so they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully. Gong Derun was also confused and replied hesitantly: "That's natural. However, there is no deep hatred. If you cut down a few who are at the front, the others behind will run away. There is no need to catch up with everyone. Kill him."
Luo Shifan pressed forward step by step and asked: "That being said, if, I mean if, those people keep rushing up to die, what will you do?"
Gong Derun seemed to understand a little: "When two armies are facing each other, there is an enemy but no one. If they are wearing armor, Gong will naturally not be lenient. However, if the opponent is a civilian who comes to die one after another, if it takes a longer time, Gong will ask himself whether he can really do it in the end. There will be some difficulty in removing the knife..."
Luo Shifan struck with both palms: "That's right!" Then he turned to the generals and continued: "I think all the generals should be the same, right? I heard a saying in northern Shaanxi that the older the pig butcher, the more ruthless he is. , The older you kill a sheep, the softer your heart becomes. Because when you kill a pig, the pig will struggle and resist, and it is cleanest to just kill it with one knife. But the sheep is not like that, it will just stand there crying and kill it for you! Normal people do it If you wait for a long time, there will eventually come a day when you can't bear to take the knife. This is what I'm afraid of."
Gu Baihua asked in confusion: "Seeing that many people died in the front, don't the people behind know how to escape?"
Luo Shifan said sternly: "I think that they probably won't escape! At least not before their spirits completely collapse. Everyone has seen what this place is like. After these years of ghost-like life, I dare to say that the remaining people here are Most of the people who came down had their minds clouded by evil spirits. During the few days I stayed at Mr. Qi’s house, all I talked about with them and his son was this matter. What they said, I found unbelievable at first, but Thinking about it carefully these days, the more I think about it, the more something is wrong. The people we are about to meet have never seen the outside world at all. They will believe whatever they are indoctrinated into. Their lives are worse than pigs and dogs, but they still think that they live in the world. In heaven, they are extremely grateful to the people who really caused them to end up in this situation, but those who speak for them are regarded as enemies! We already know how they treat their relatives, friends, and neighbors! They You can do whatever you want to them when they are oppressed, but for the weak, you will brutally and brutally abuse them in every possible way. Not only do you have no mercy, but you have endless fun. They can even sacrifice their own flesh and blood to cats, cats and beasts... Such people can still Are you called a human being?"
There was dead silence in the handsome tent.
Gu Baihua opened his mouth, and after a moment, he murmured hesitantly: "Isn't it possible?" But looking at the faces of the people around him, he closed his mouth again.
Gong Derun sighed: "You are a barbarian from the border and don't understand this."
Gao Tengdou gritted his teeth and took a few pictures, shaking the teacup on the table and almost overturned: "Then kill! With the steel knife in hand, he can run away if he has the sense to escape. If he really wants to die, he can't blame us!" - It can be seen that Guan Shengyun's troops were now very fat, and the handsome tent where the generals held a military meeting was actually equipped with a coffee table and chairs, and there was tea!
Luo Shifan shook his head: "That being said, the generals may be better off, but what about your subordinates? At that time, they will come one after another to kill them. Can everyone really do it? To be honest, can the generals compare? I have doubts about how good your subordinates are."
Zhang Ding, who was full of anger and had not spoken a word, said angrily: "I'm afraid of being soft-hearted when I come to your door to kill you, so it's a farce fight! I might as well just go around and forget it!" Halfway through, he rolled his eyes and hurriedly added. One sentence: "How about you go your own way, the thieves are all staring at the waterway to the east, and I will lead the Pili camp to try to steal the south gate?"
Ha ha ha ha. The generals in the handsome tent burst into laughter, diluting the solemn atmosphere a lot. Zhang Ding said angrily: "Why are you laughing! Not everyone has a share of what I robbed! If any of you don't have blood on your hands, why are you pretending to be a good person!"
Just as Guan Shengyun was about to have an attack, Luo Yonghao coughed slightly and waved to everyone: "Everyone, please be patient. Now that Xiaoquan has thought of this, he should have a countermeasure. Let him continue."
Luo Shifan smiled, but his smile seemed a little bitter. He looked around at the crowd and said slowly: "This battle must be fought. Nanyang Mansion must be taken down. The first is to eliminate future troubles and avoid the worries of our army being attacked from both sides. The second is to establish prestige. Huguang is a strange place, we We are unfamiliar with that place, and the dog officers and soldiers there are also unfamiliar with us. At this moment, they are completely unaware of the invincible military might of our army. It is inevitable that many people have some luck in making meritorious deeds. If they cannot be completely shocked by this battle, If we make them fear me like a tiger, our army may not be able to win the battle. We are in the enemy's territory, and we cannot afford the consumption of soldiers and materials. What's the third thing?" As he spoke, the young military advisor glanced at Zhang Ding with his peripheral vision, " There is no reason to let the gold and silver in the government office go to waste."
At this point, he saw Gu Baihua scratching his head and squirming uneasily on the chair. Knowing that this barbarian brother-in-law was impatient, he hurriedly continued: "I have a plan, generals, let's see if it works..."
…
After leaving the commander's tent and returning to each camp, the generals followed the instructions of the young commander and gathered their battalion officers, team officers, and generals. They conveyed to them in detail and in detail the words of the young commander's repeated warnings. : When fighting, the opponent is the enemy, so you must not be lenient. This time the enemy is different from the past! Don't take any chances and search for dead bodies. You will never find any property, and you will easily be killed by the enemy. At first, the officers thought this was nonsense and making a fuss out of a molehill, but when they truly understood what they might be about to encounter, everyone's expressions became solemn.
Guan Shengyun left Guo Qinglin alone. Luo Yonghao asked worriedly: "Xiaoguo, do you think it's okay?"
Guo Qinglin crossed his hands respectfully and said, "Come back, Master Military Advisor, it's okay. More than 80% of the auxiliary soldiers in humble positions are young and strong. Excluding the 7,000 people given to General You and General Gu, the old camp has prepared 12,000 people. . At most half is needed to build camp fortifications, ladders, and other things, and the other half is for the commander to assist in the battle. Now that the young military division has decided on the tactics, and with General Zhang helping to guard it, it is enough to leave five or six thousand people on the raft. A total of 15,000 auxiliary troops can be drawn from the humble position. If it is not enough, another 3,000 or 4,000 people can be made up. If the sword is issued and goes to the battlefield, I am afraid that only the 6,000 people prepared for the commander can do half the battle. Soldiers, others who have never seen blood may not be able to do it. But according to the calculations of the young military advisor, it is not a face-to-face fight, so I asked the team officers to keep a closer eye, and it seems that nothing big will go wrong. It's just..."
Luo Shifan smiled: "Brother Guo, there is no need for these many people. Eight thousand people are enough. If you expect the enemy to be lenient, you can prepare 12,000 people for us. I know what you are worried about. It doesn't matter. It won't be a problem. Come. We will definitely have two to three thousand bows when we change people, but not bows."
Luo Yonghao picked up the account book at hand and said while looking at it: "We only have more than 400 crossbows in total, and they are all assigned to the archers of each battalion. There are also more than 3,500 foot bows and 710 horse bows on the ship. There are more than 80,000 bows and feathered arrows...well, I’m afraid the feathered arrows are not enough.”
Guan Shengyun then said: "Then there is no other way. It's too late to do it now, so we can just lay some ground to reject the horses."
Luo Yonghao nodded and turned to Guo Qinglin: "Xiaoguo, please arrange for someone to unload all the bows and arrows immediately. Oh, by the way, we must let everyone get familiar with it."
Guo Qinglin grinned: "Don't worry, Master Military Advisor. I usually have nothing to do after setting up camp. I always take people to shoot some rabbits, pheasants, etc. to beat the teeth. Archery is something that I must work hard to practice, but I can't get started. It’s difficult. It doesn’t require any accuracy. It should be almost done in half a day.”
Luo Shifan said: "That's what Brother Guo said. It doesn't matter whether you can shoot accurately or not. What's important is to shoot as far as possible. We have enough manpower, so we don't have to spare any effort. Also, the rotation must be well organized, with ten people in groups, ten Form a team of five teams into a small formation. Leave some spare archers behind each small formation. Broken strings, broken bows, and arm cramps are inevitable. Do not mess up the plan in a hurry."
Guo Qinglin scratched his head: "Huh? Do you want so many things? I thought it would be better to just bring people here to divide the teams..."
Luo Shifan smiled: "No. The place of formation, the order of advance and retreat, and the supply of arrows must be planned in advance." Then he turned around and said, "Commander, dad. I will go with the eldest brother of the country. He lends a hand."
After the two left the commander's tent, Guan Shengyun stared at the direction Luo Shifan left for a long time, and sighed to Luo Yonghao: "You are a good student as a military officer!"
Luo Yonghao sighed: "Oh, Shifan is really smart. However..."
Guan Shengyun feigned anger and said, "What? I never want to meet an opponent like your father and son."
Luo Yonghao was startled when he heard this, and immediately realized that Guan Shengyun was joking, and couldn't help but smile. Not only have the fate of the two been firmly tied together, but they have also forged an unbreakable friendship with each other through the bloody journey. Then he thought about it, looked at Guan Shengyun and said with concern: "The commander is not young anymore, it's time to start a family."
Guan Shengyun shook his head: "We still don't know whether we will live or die in the future, so how can we care about this?"
Luo Yonghao's eyes flashed: "Based on the current situation, there does seem to be a way out in front of us."
Guan Shengyun perked up and said, "Oh? Can the military advisor tell me?"
