The sun slowly slid to the west and lay lazily on the top of the mountain, casting thousands of golden lights on the world. On the mountains in the distance, the snow that fell a few days ago has not yet melted, and the sun shines brightly with golden light.
Wang Xiaolie took a deep breath, picked up his spear, and got on his horse.
These days, with Zhai Jin's example, Wang Xiaolie has not gone directly to the front line. I even thought that officers of a certain level would not be allowed to fight on the front lines in the future. When fighting on the front line, it is enough to have junior officers and soldiers.
Today, I suddenly realized that it is still a bit early to do this now. Let’s be honest, that’s how the military is supposed to be. An officer is an officer, and a soldier is a soldier. In an army, the division of labor must be clear. There are those who directly fight, those who provide support, and those who direct operations. It is only right for each to perform its own duties and not influence each other. But in today's world, people just believe in the person who holds a gun, mounts a horse, and rushes forward to kill. The harder you fight, the more the army and people will be afraid of you. Only when others are afraid of you can you build up your prestige.
It takes too long to convince people with reason. Wang Xiaolie didn't have that much time, so he still had to rely on the spear in his hand.
As the horn sounded, Wang Xiaolie's army began to attack. Shao Ling was on the left, Cao Zhiyan was on the right, Wang Xiaolie and Cao Cong were in the middle, and they were pressing towards Yang Jin's camp in darkness. With the sound of drums, the army advanced in an orderly manner.
Niu Gao led 300 cavalry and was still on the mountain as a surprise soldier. See a favorable fighter opportunity and join the battle in time.
Wang Xiaolie didn't have much military knowledge. He only knew one thing, some good and some strange. The two armies fight with perfect coordination and victory with surprise, and surprise troops are crucial. Of course, a good soldier is the foundation. He can defend and fight, and he can withstand the enemy from the front. No matter what the situation, first of all ensure that you are undefeated. Qibing seizes the opportunity to expand his advantage at any time and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
Whether a general is good at using surprise troops is an important manifestation of his battlefield command ability. In addition to being a genius like Han Xin, this ability must be learned through fighting on the battlefield. If you haven't experienced fighting on the battlefield, you are missing something.
There are many opinions on the military capabilities of generals. Even if it is a military classic, it is difficult to give an answer that convinces everyone. But in general, military capabilities are divided into two aspects: odd and positive. Those who are good at using upright soldiers are often flawless. When people see the examples of his battles, they can’t help but feel a sense of powerlessness. And those who are good at using surprise weapons are unconstrained and often unexpected.
For example, a question that is often debated is, can Zhuge Liang fight? Of course Zhuge Liang can fight. His troops were calm and powerful, and future generations would feel powerless and unable to defeat him. But his performance always makes people feel that he is so far behind. If you exhaust all your advantages, you will not be able to achieve a decisive victory. To some extent, Zhuge Liang just lacks the ability to use surprise troops.
This strange word for "Qi Bing", like many Chinese words, can be understood but cannot be explained in words. If we separate the lines carefully, we can say that this is a surprise weapon and that is not. If you fight like this, you can make good use of your surprise soldiers, but not that way. It's not surprising that this is so strange.
The battlefield situation is ever-changing, and fighter opportunities are fleeting. An excellent general is one who can seize the one in ten thousand chance and decide the outcome in one battle.
Wang Xiaolie knew that he had no talent for this strange word. I work hard in military affairs and in orthography. With a majestic formation, we must first seek to be invincible and then seek victory. If you have enough strength, you can crush the enemy to death. Sending Niu Gao as a surprise soldier, Wang Xiaolie gave a simple explanation: seize the opportunity. What is a fighter plane? That's Niu Gao's ability. Whether he can catch it or not depends on Niu Gao's ability to grasp the battlefield.
Zhai Cong rode up to Wang Xiaolie and said, "Today Zhizhou went to battle in person. Zhai thanked him!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "You don't have to thank me. Something happened in Ruzhou, and I can't spend a long time with Yang Jin, so I have to fight to decide life and death! The whole army will attack today, and we will not give up until we win!"
Zhai Cong said: "If that's the case, why not wait until dark before sending out troops? A sneak attack at night will catch you by surprise!"
Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Yameni, do you think Yang Jin is so easy to sneak attack? There are many inconveniences in fighting at night. It is better to avoid them if we don't prepare early. Now in the evening, Yang Jin's army formation is not in order, so we have some advantage. "
After saying that, he looked at the military formation opposite.
Returning to camp in the afternoon, Yang Jinjun lost control. Seeing Wang Xiaolie gathering troops here, there was a chaos. When he left the camp, he was afraid that Wang Xiaolie would attack him before his footing was stable, so he could only huddle in the camp and not be able to organize the army for a while.
A horn sounded, and Shao Ling led his men to attack the main entrance of the camp. Cao Zhiyan led his troops slightly behind and attacked the right wing. Wang Xiaolie led the Chinese army behind Shao Ling and pressed forward. Behind him is Yu Huan, who leads the troops in formation.
Approaching the camp, the soldiers in front of Shao Ling's army raised their shields to block the rain of arrows that came like locusts, and quickly approached the trench. Without stopping at all, he filled several passages with the bundles of firewood on his back and came out.
Seeing Shao Ling's army holding the wood and rushing towards the gate of Yang Jin's army, Wang Xiaolie said to Zhai Cong: "The hammer smashes the hard walnuts. Whether Shao Ling can fight well in this battle is crucial. If he fights well, the rest will be better." It went smoothly."
Zhai Cong nodded: "General Shao is a rare and powerful general!"
Shao Ling is indeed a rare talent in Wang Xiaolie's army. I didn't think it at first, but after several battles and months of training, Shao Ling slowly left the others behind. Even Niu Gao, because he was illiterate before, couldn't compare with Shao Ling.
Yang entered the camp and shot arrows outside with all his strength. Although Shao Ling's army had shields, many people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. It's just that Shao Ling didn't care and just charged forward with his men.
Not long after, Cao Zhiyan led the right army to the camp. They also used bundles of firewood to fill in several passages in the trench, heading straight towards the camp wall. Yang Jinjun was involved by Shao Ling, and not many people faced Cao Zhiyan and asked him to demolish the wall there.
The sun had just set at this time and it was not yet dark. There was a sound of killing in front of Yang Jin's camp, and someone set a fire again, causing chaos.
Looking ahead, Wang Xiaolie said softly: "Yang Jin has not sent anyone out of the camp, and the defense is not tight. There is some hope for this battle!"
After saying that, he picked up the reins of the horse and pressed forward with the whole army.
When defending, offense is the top priority and cannot be defended. It is necessary to take advantage of the chaotic moments during the confrontation so that the defender can seize the opportunity and launch a counterattack at any time. When counterattacking, the offensive route is short and the key points of the opponent are also hit. Even if there are few troops, it can still put great pressure on the attacking side.
At this time, Shao Ling was attacking Yang Jin's army at the gate of the village. According to the routine, Yang Jin should send troops out of the camp to attack Shao Ling's rear or flank. If Shao Ling is allowed to attack without any distractions, how can he stop him?
Wang Xiaolie led the army to the ditch, and Yang Jin's village gate had collapsed. Amidst the loud shouts of killing, Wang Xiaolie's army rushed into the camp.
Holding a steel gun in his hand, Wang Xiaolie rushed into the door with his own bodyguards.
Inside the camp, Yang Jin stood in front of the handsome tent, looking at the mess and yelling. After killing three people in a row, there was some peace. It's just that Wang Xiaolie's army outside was pressing too hard, so everyone just couldn't get in front of Yang Jin.
Seeing Wang Xiaolie's Shuai Qi entering the village gate, Yang Jin shouted something bad. The two sides have been at odds for several months, so they won't just lose, right?
Wang Xiaolie knocked down a soldier next to him with one shot, took his sights on Yang Jin's handsome tent, and led his army to come forward.
The confrontation lasted for more than a month because Wang Xiaolie never used his full strength. If the entire army had attacked like today, Yang Jin would have been defeated. Although he claims to have tens of thousands of soldiers, his real combat power is still far inferior to Wang Xiaolie's. The Zhai army on the opposite side could not attack because it was separated by the Yi River. Crossing the river to attack would more than double the difficulty.
