Faced with such a difficult situation, Gao pragmatically called Cao Yun and a group of generals above guerrilla level for discussion, and nearly twenty generals were immediately squeezed into the battle.
After figuring out the whole story, the generals first burst out into a burst of uncontrollable abuse and contempt. They tried their best to criticize and ridicule, and they made a bloody show of the Heart School's tricks.
However, Gao Pragmatic is still calm. Of course these generals dare to scold him now. After all, they are doing this to show that they are standing in the same trench as their own manager, and there will be no danger in any case.
If you really let them curse these words in front of Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, do you think they would dare? Not to mention Shen and Wang, even if Li Song were standing here at this moment, they would only dare to be angry but not dare to speak.
There is a world of difference between civil and military forces. Only civil servants can scold civil servants. Even the emperor has to choose his words carefully when he scolds, let alone these military ministers.
When the atmosphere was almost brewing, Gao pragmatically made a gesture of extending his hand to signal you to be quiet, because the main department was about to speak. The effect of this action was like turning off a light. Everyone present seemed to have been collectively cast a mute curse, and their voices were instantly silenced with almost no delay.
It seems that the action of using Shang Fangjian to directly withdraw the dignified Governor Ji Liao just now has an extraordinary effect on the generals. However, Governor Ji Liao's Wusha can withdraw at any time, so it will be easier for everyone here to withdraw.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that at this moment, I would not be able to help but say a few harsh words to warn the generals, and at the same time establish a prestige for myself. However, Gao Pragmatic believes that this is not necessary. His high level of authority is not only supported by Shang Fangjian. Regardless of whether he is civil or military, public or private, he has enough suppression power over the generals present, so there is no need to act like a villain and show off his claws.
Real power is always multi-faceted, and only by crushing it in all directions can people become incapable of resisting. No matter how powerful Sun Houhou is, he can still only lie down when he sees Wuzhishan.
He looked around at the generals with an indifferent expression. Those who caught his gaze subconsciously lowered their gazes and lowered their heads, and even bent down unconsciously, for fear that their actions would mean any disrespect. There were nearly twenty generals, and each one was as respectful as the other.
Then they heard Gao Jinglue's calm voice as usual, coming unhurriedly: "Everyone, the current situation is like this. If you chase, you will not have enough food and grass, and if you don't chase, you will be in danger of returning home. Where to go, the generals can have a clever plan. Taught me?"
The generals looked troubled. The generals who usually had close friendships looked at each other, and after some eye contact, none of them were willing to speak.
Seeing Jinglue looking at him, Cao Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Entang, if it really doesn't work, we have to leave Guihua and let Tumen fight for a few days. I will think about it, so is Guihua City after all. It was built according to our city-building method. Facing almost all the cavalry under Tumen's command, Guihua City is not impregnable, but it can't be impossible to hold on for a month, right?"
Gao pragmatic shook his head slightly and said: "Before this, the headquarters mentioned a concern, that is, does Burihatu still have gunpowder in his hand? If so, how much is left? The answer to this question, we still don't know yet. Not found, and this is the biggest uncertainty currently facing Guihua City.
If Burihatu still has enough gunpowder and he digs tunnels and blows up the Guihua city wall according to the old method, I think the current strength of the Guihua city will be difficult to resist Chahar's army from entering and looting the city. How should the Honbu Tang—and even the imperial court—face King Shunyi at that time? "
Cao Yu smiled dryly and said: "Well, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If something like that really happens... Although it does not look good on the surface, there is nothing we can do after all. In the end, King Shunyi has always been respectful and understands the truth. , He is a person who understands the great righteousness and has a big picture, so he must be able to understand the difficulties of Entang."
This is obviously nonsense. I brought my own dry food to help you with the Ming Dynasty's hunting. Even if I don't get any credit, it's still a lot of hard work, right? As a result, no benefits were gained, and even my own nest was taken away. How "respectful" and "understanding the truth and righteousness" must I be to be able to remain calm in this situation? If I really didn't even say this, how could the soldiers and civilians under my command be able to resist scolding me for being such a sweaty loser?
Such a simple truth, at this time, everyone in the commander's account counts, and everyone is a leader of troops, who still can't understand it? Regardless of Huayi, any leader of a force who does such a thing will definitely encounter strong internal opposition. One may even provoke rebellion. Is this something that can be joked about?
"I know that many of you have a plan in mind, but they all find it inconvenient to say it." Gao Pingshi chuckled and raised his eyebrows slightly: "There is nothing to say, it's just a division of troops! Isn't it?
Oh, and also, it is best for the cousin to lead the main cavalry to pursue the pursuit. The infantry will distribute the food to the cavalry, and he will wait here for the food to be delivered, and then set off to chase the cavalry in the direction of Guihua City... Is Honbu-do right? "
As soon as Gao Pragmatic said these words, many people in the group subconsciously lowered their heads even further, as if they were caught by the teacher doing something small in class.
Cao Yu also looked embarrassed. He smiled and half admitted and half explained: "Entang Ming has seen thousands of miles. However, although this matter seems feasible, it is too dangerous after all. It is in view of this that the generals and others said this. After swallowing it, I hope Entang will forgive me."
Gao pragmatic smiled and asked: "It's too dangerous. Where is the danger?"
Cao Yu was stunned for a moment and replied: "Well... there are only about 28,000 cavalry left in the army at the moment, less than 30,000. If Entang only leads this few men to pursue Tumen, once Chahar's army turns against him One blow... Although Entang is invincible, Chahar's troops are twice as powerful as ours, so this, this is still not appropriate."
This was really difficult for Cao Yan. He certainly couldn't talk nonsense about objective facts such as military strength. But if Gao Pragmatic personally took action, he would not dare to say, "You are here to send it off." So the more he talked about it, the more he hesitated. I.
To be honest, if you ask Gao Pragmatic whether he has the confidence to command a cavalry duel with Chahar, and his own troops participating in the battle are only half of the opponent's, in fact, he really can't say that he has much confidence.
He is only experienced in commanding large groups of cavalry in decisive battles in the game, but he has never done it in reality so far. Although theoretically speaking, some later games have done a good job in simulating this kind of ancient combat, but some problems are always far from reality.
Based on Gao Pragmatic’s intuitive feeling after leading troops many times, the two simplest and most straightforward differences are God’s perspective and data visualization.
When commanding battles in the game, as a player, he has a God's perspective and can overview the overall battle situation at will. No matter how many people are participating in the battlefield, he can look wherever he wants and have perfect control over any battle situation at the first possible moment.
However, in reality, this is not the case at all. Judging from the many wars he has commanded, he can only have a "commander's perspective." This means that the battlefield that can be seen with the eyes is actually very small, and almost only the "enemy in person" can be brought into view, because it is impossible for him to pull his vision into the air to overlook the overall situation.
As for the shape of the entire battlefield, you can at least climb towers and city towers to improve your field of vision when defending the city, but there is basically nothing you can do in the field and you can only rely on various reports to judge.
These reports are often delayed due to the distance of the battlefield or even other reasons (such as being cut off from the flank battlefield to the central army or being caught in a melee), and it is impossible to say how much the delay is, so it creates problems for the commander. Greater chance of misjudgment.
Why do many famous generals in ancient times seem to be special "geniuses"? It seems that they do not achieve better results through study and research, but in many cases they seem to rely more on some kind of innate intuition?
Gao Pragmatic thought that this thing might really be a talent. It is talent that allows a person to quickly make the most decisive and correct judgment when the battlefield environment is extremely complex and only a very small part of the battlefield can be "seen to believe". And this is an important reason why this kind of "genius general" appears more among cavalry generals.
After all, no matter how quick and accurate your infantry general's judgment is, infantry, a unit that relies on formations to fight, is still limited by its own speed. Therefore, in Gao Pragmatic's eyes, whether a cavalry general is excellent or not depends on two most important things: talent and experience.
It's a pity that he himself has no experience in commanding cavalry, and he doesn't seem to have any talent. He expects to take half of his troops to fight against the elite Chahar Khan Court in Tumen, especially when Burihatu is still there. In a grassland decisive battle, he actually didn't have much confidence.
A cavalry duel! This means that the hollow phalanx system based on infantry and bayonets that he has worked hard to build over the years has no place at all. He can only compete with the strongest Mongolian general of this era for his cavalry command talent and experience - this is not Free gift?
However, although it is obviously unwise to fight head-on, Gao Pragmatic does not intend to fight head-on. He shook his head and said: "The commander should use the overall strength for me, not the strength of an army."
He stood up, pointed to the large map hanging on the map stand on the side, and said: "Look, everyone, Ma Zongrong's headquarters in Xuanfu is also turning to the west to return to the army. Because he was on an expedition before, he carried all the dry food It is more sufficient than our army, and there is no danger of running out of food for the time being. Its headquarters is in the northeast of our army, and Guihua City is in its southwest.
This means that even if Honbudo does not give him any instructions, he will go in a straight line in order to return and naturalize as soon as possible. At the same time, if our army divides its forces to advance westward, by the same principle, it will inevitably advance westward in a straight line. In this way, as time goes by, the angle between Ma Zongrong's headquarters and our army will become smaller and smaller - oh, this means that the distance between the two armies will become closer and closer.
Tumen certainly did not know that our army would be cut off from food and grass, so he would not have judged in advance that our army had abandoned its infantry and that there were less than 30,000 cavalry left to pursue him. Therefore, his battle plan should be to win the naturalization as soon as possible, instead of turning around and fighting our army without exploring the specific situation.
In this way, when Chahar's troops learned the details of our army, the distance between the two armies was at most three hundred miles, or maybe even only two hundred miles. At this time, the location of Ma Zongrong's headquarters should still be in the northeast of our army, about 200 to 500 miles away.
Suppose Tumen discovers that our army has less than 30,000 cavalry, decides to abandon the siege and defeat Guihua's original plan, and decides to return to the army to fight our army decisively. What do you think the Honbudo should do at this time? "
Cao Yu said "Ah" and said: "If that's the case, as long as Entang leads his troops to the north to avoid it, when Tumen catches up, Ma Zongrong's troops will happen to be there..."
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that some of the generals in the tent looked a little unnatural. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "It's just that doing this may slightly damage Entang's reputation, so we must pay attention to it."
"Fame and fortune are nothing but victory. Honbu Hall only wants victory." Gao Pragmatic shook his head and continued: "Besides, the above hypothesis is just a hypothesis after all. From Honbu Hall's point of view, Tumen may not really do this."
Cao Yu was greatly puzzled and asked: "Why is this? If the last general is Tumen, when he finds that there is a chance to defeat Entang, it is just a matter of Guihua City, so don't take it. From Tumen's point of view, If I can defeat Endang, or even if I'm lucky enough to capture Endang, I won't trade it even for ten Guihua cities."
Gao Qingshi snorted and asked: "So from Tumen's point of view, after he has suffered so much from me, will he think that I can leave him such a big loophole and give him a chance to capture me alive on the battlefield? If you were Tumen, wouldn’t you suspect there was fraud?”
"Oh...yeah, that's too rash." Cao Yun slapped his forehead and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this flaw is too obvious. If you think about it carefully, it becomes more and more wrong. Even if the Tumen were lard If you are fooled, Burihatu will definitely not be 'fooled' easily."
Seeing that he was persuaded, Gao Pangshi nodded and said: "In that case, the matter is settled like this. Our troops will be divided immediately. The cousin of the headquarters will lead all the cavalry to march westward, while the infantry will stay and wait for the supplies from Gubeikou to arrive to complete the supplies. Then come over and join us later.”
Cao Yan opened his mouth. Although everything made sense, in his heart he still didn't want Gao Pragmatic to make any risky moves. But after thinking about it, he felt that he could not convince Endang, so he had to say: "Since Entang has made a decision, I don't dare to stop it, but this battle is of great importance... I also have a cavalry under my command." , boldly ask Entang for permission to let the last general follow Entang to the west."
Of course Gao pragmatic knew that Cao Yun was still afraid that he would be in danger, and felt that he could rest assured if he was personally protecting him, but he still shook his head: "How can you go too? If you go, who will lead the 70,000 people in Liuhechuan?"
Cao Yu still wanted to defend himself, but Gao Pragmatic waved his hand and said: "Stop talking, you have to stay and lead the army. As for the cavalry from all walks of life, I just did some calculations and found that they are almost all in the hands of a few guerrillas. In this case , the headquarters hall has temporarily designated—where is Ye Bangrong?"
A dark-skinned general who looked to be in his forties stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Commander Hui Jing, the final general is here!"
This man's voice is like thunder, and when you hear it, you can tell he is a brave general. Gao Pingshi smiled, nodded at him, and said, "You will coordinate all the cavalry on this trip, are you confident?"
"You will die if you dare not serve!" Qi Jiajun veteran Ye Bangrong replied solemnly.
