When Shi Bao saw the formation before, he was the first to charge with courage, and everyone rushed forward to kill him;
Otherwise, there will be two fighting generals, and everyone on the winning side will rush forward and kill them.
The so-called strategy is either an ambush, hijacking the camp, or making the traitors cooperate with each other, and everyone rushes forward to kill them.
Such exquisite on-the-battle command as that of Lao Cao has never been seen before, it is simply unheard of - even the most fluent storyteller in Hangzhou has never said that anyone fought like this.
He was also a man of understanding. While marveling, he quickly recalled the situation in his mind and carefully figured out the intention of each of Lao Cao's orders.
This speculation is like finding a treasure.
For example, when Cao Cao saw that the Western Army was arrayed in advance, he declared that he would repel the opponent. Shi Bao thought at this moment that Cao Cao must have seen that the Western Army's formation was wide, long and thin, and he believed that his troops were all elite. He could not deal with the Western Army. The formation was just right enough to hit the Arrancar.
Another example is the spearmen of the Western Army, so Cao Cao first sent his flying cavalry to attack and shoot around the formation. He expected that he would move his archers to attack, so he made arrangements early and took advantage of the situation to attack Liu Guangshi's cavalry. It is concluded that his courage is weak and he must not dare to fight.
But when the archers of the Western Army rushed into the battle, Cao Cao's sword and shield soldiers had already rushed out. The archers fired arrows in a hurry. They were already prepared and charged with their shields raised. How many people could he shoot down? They rushed in and released the spearmen from behind to kill them.
On the contrary, Fan Rui's gust of wind can only be regarded as the icing on the cake...
The more Shi Bao thought about it, the more excited he became, thinking that there was such a level in using soldiers! He couldn't help but talk to Lao Cao: "Brother Song, when we learn martial arts, we pay attention to knowing the enemy's position first and adapting to our heart. It turns out that this is also the case when commanding in battle. According to my little brother, as far as you are concerned, those bows Soldiers, spearmen, and even your fierce brothers are actually waiting for your fists, feet, swords and spears. When you command a battle, it is like fighting with one of us. You determine the opponent's strength, body skills, and the length of the weapon, and then make a targeted move to compete with him. "
Lao Cao was a little surprised when he heard what he said clearly. He looked Shi Bao up and down and praised: "Brother Shi, you are a thoughtful person. You can see my intentions in using troops, which shows that you are very talented. You must know that if you want to become a famous general, you must be talented." First, study hard. Second, since you have such talent, don’t let it go. You might as well find more military books to study in the future. In time, you will achieve great results.”
Shi Bao nodded repeatedly and said with a big grin: "Since we started the army, we have destroyed many cities and collected a lot of military books. Most of them are in the Chen Goutong. I asked him to look at them when I turned around."
On a whim, Cao Cao added another pointer: "You compare your martial arts to fighting, and you are really good at it. In fact, in marching and fighting, the ability to mobilize troops and horses is important, but the real foundation is still training troops -"
"Just like when you practice martial arts, no matter how superb your martial arts skills are, you still have to use your hands and feet. If your hands and feet are weak, how can you fight with others even if you have special skills? These soldiers and horses are your body, fists and feet. When commanding an army, you should be as careful as your arms. How do you do it? It means that these soldiers and horses must have the courage to fight, the strength to fight fiercely, and to carry out orders and prohibitions. This is like having strong and strong hands and feet, so that they can display their abilities to the best of their abilities!"
He talked about this in detail, pointed to the battlefield and said: "Look at the killing methods of my soldiers, how are they different from your soldiers and horses?"
Shi Bao hurriedly looked at it and saw that the Liangshan troops were either in groups of four or six. They were all protected by sword and shield soldiers in front, resisting the offensive of the Western army and forcing back the enemies who were close to them. The spearmen stood behind. , they only focus on shooting people with their spears, even if they are surrounded by several times the enemy, they can still cope with it. Moreover, they form a team every time, taking care of each other, making them even more invincible.
Although there are many warriors in the Western Army who are good at fighting, heroes like Li Kui also clashed with each other, looking for those who could fight to kill. The soldiers and generals cooperated with each other, which was very different from the Southern Army where "everyone rushed forward to kill them". .
Suddenly he realized it and nodded repeatedly: "I see, that's it! In this way, although there are many soldiers and horses here, they are all puffy and fat. For example, a person is not skilled in martial arts and has no strength. Even if he is fat, he will not be strong. How can you beat a real hero?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "That's all! Now that you can understand this level, it will definitely be very different when you lead an army in the future."
Shi Bao couldn't help grinning, and felt that his heart was much brighter. Many strange and wonderful thoughts kept coming up, and he was extremely happy. When he looked at Cao Cao again, he couldn't help but feel a little more admiration.
While the two of them were talking, the situation on the field changed again.
However, Yang Weizhong saw that he could not resist, and quickly sent an order for the Western armies on both sides to move in and outflank him - at this time, he no longer cared about chasing the Southern army, and was bent on annihilating the hundreds of people in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the three Shaohuashan brothers led dozens of knights and drove straight in to kill Yang Weizhong. Yang Weizhong had no choice but to draw his gun and fight. He had no time to command, and the Western army became more and more chaotic.
On the other side, Tang Bin frightened Liu Guangshi away, but did not pursue him deeply. He led his archers in a circle and killed him behind the Xihe army formation. A burst of arrows were fired at him. Although he only injured twenty or thirty people, it was a crushing force. The last straw for the camel.
The Xihe soldiers in this section were already screaming in agony. Seeing that they were being attacked from both sides, their fighting spirit completely disappeared. They turned around and fled one by one, and the already shaky formation completely collapsed.
Unfortunately, the soldiers and horses that surrounded them from the corridor were overwhelmed by their own robes before they could fight the enemy. Li Kui and others took advantage of the situation and scattered in all directions.
Although these Western troops did not retreat when being chased by the Southern Army, they were just trying to escape for their lives. Shi Bao was stunned to see this, but he did not know that these Western troops were experienced in fighting and had their own calculations:
At that time, the southern army had 30,000 troops. If they were defeated in a big way and he took advantage of the situation, at least half of their lives would be lost.
How many people are there in the Liangshan Army now? There are few people and they are good at fighting. Instead of stubbornly resisting him, it is better for everyone to scatter and flee, and fewer people will die.
However, everyone can escape, but Yang Weizhong cannot escape.
Shi Jin's three-pointed two-edged sword was not a decoration. Yang Weizhong's martial arts was half a step inferior to Shi Bao's, but he and Shi Jin were his exact opponents. The fight with swords and guns was extremely fierce.
By the time the battle was over, Yang Chun and Chen Da had already scattered his soldiers and came up to besiege him. Lao Yang was one against three, and after a few battles, he messed up his plans. If it hadn't been for Shi If Jin was determined to capture him alive, he would probably be in serious trouble already.
When I was panicking, I suddenly heard the clatter of hoofbeats, and someone shouted: "General Yang, don't panic, Wang is here to save you!"
Shi Jin heard the sound and looked over, but it was Wang De. He couldn't help being surprised: Why did this guy come back again?
It turns out that when the bow cavalry came earlier, Wang De wanted to lead the army to fight, but Liu Guangshi refused, insisting: "You are trying to gain credit for my life. Don't you think about it? If he has no backup plan, , do you want these people to die? Besides, it is not easy to save my cavalry, why should I fight to the death for the Xihe soldiers! Let us retreat first and wait for Marshal Tong’s army to arrive. It will not be too late to take revenge."
Immediately he led the troops and retreated. Wang De had no choice but to retreat for a while. Then he found an excuse to "watch the formation and cut off the rear" and led his hundred axes to leave the group and fight back. He happened to see Yang Weizhong unable to stop him. The opponent was besieging him, so he came straight to kill the general, and struck Yang Chun and Chen Da with an ax without thinking, until Yang Chun and Chen Da were pissed. Although Shi Jin was brave, he couldn't resist the combined efforts of the two brave generals, so he rescued Yang Weizhong and left.
Cao Cao saw it clearly from outside the formation and sighed: "It's a pity that we never caught this person."
At this time, the Western Army had been defeated, and Lao Cao did not want to cause more casualties, so he ordered his brothers to withdraw their troops, and slowly retreated to Hangzhou with the defeated Southern troops.
Not to mention that Lao Cao and others happily discussed the war along the road, only Yang Weizhong and Wang De led the Xihe soldiers to retreat to Chongde County.
At this time, Tong Guan's army had arrived in Chongde County. Before his buttocks were hot, he heard an urgent report: Xihe soldiers were defeated first and then won. They won and were defeated again. Four of the five tigers of the Xin family were lost. In other battles, There were dozens of dead generals and tooth generals, and three to five thousand soldiers and horses were damaged.
Tong Guan was furious after hearing this and was about to find out what happened. Xin Xingzong happened to be alone and returned injured——
It turned out that this guy was knocked off his horse by Tang Bin with a spear, and he decisively blended into the rebel army. He took off his armor and bag with his own hands. Where could he find him in such a huge battlefield?
He dodged and dodged. Although he saw Yang Weizhong waiting for the whole army to fight again, he had ulterior motives and deliberately did not show up. In the chaos, he snatched a horse and returned to Chongde County first. When he heard that Tong Guan had arrived, he hurriedly came to see him.
Tong Guan was about to get angry with him, but he saw him holding his shoulders, half of his body covered in blood, and his face was pale. He looked like he had abandoned his armor. Then he thought about his four brothers who died in the battle, and his friendship with his father. , but became a little unbearable, frowned and asked: "How did a good fight end like this?"
Xin Xingzong knelt down, cried loudly, and spoke with sobs.
This is it: heroes fight bloody battles under the green mountains, and traitors weep in front of handsome men's tents. I just wish I could not die in battle, and the moon will never be round again.
Wu Mengde talks about military affairs, and the old flying hero asks for votes!
