Chapter 212: Dark Guard

The ability of each general is high and low, and it also has different styles, some are brave, some are strategic, some can only lead 10,000 troops to fight in one place and one city, and some can lead 100,000 troops to fight in a region or even a country, some are good at defending, some are good at attacking, some are good at arranging troops, and some are good at overall coordination.

Singly feuding belongs to the kind of offense and defense, quite strategic, but the overall situation is not strong, and he can't see the battle situation too far, and his ability is definitely one of the best in small and medium-sized local wars.

There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, the contrast of troops, the level of morale....

Shan Qiu makes good use of scouts, before the war, he will definitely send scouts to find out the situation on the front line, and the style of a general will also greatly affect the soldiers under him.

For example, tonight's war, although the scale is not large, but the process is not simple, Shan Qiu knows Zhao Wei's ability, so he is a general, and there is no contempt, tonight he handed over part of the command of the army to him, Zhao Wei sent thirty scouts to the outside to guard, and then, two of the scouts found the enemy's traces, one immediately returned to the barracks to inform the enemy of the impending attack, and the other one, is to inform the rest of the scouts hidden everywhere, and these scouts gathered after getting the news, did not return to the barracks, but followed the enemy's marching route, hidden and probed one by one, and finally transmitted the news of the enemy's division to Li Xun, so that Li Xun and others accurately grasped the opponent's military pulse, and made the most favorable decision to give the other party a fatal blow.

An army must have a different number of scouts, and it is not difficult to become a scout, as long as you can ride a horse and have a strong body, but it is very difficult to become an excellent elite scout.

An excellent elite scout must meet many conditions, first of all, you must be literate, and this is only the most basic, strictly speaking, it is necessary to know a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, for example, go out to the vicinity of the battlefield to find out the news, about the terrain and geographical environment, drinking water sources, where there are feasible roads to draw military maps, looking for favorable terrain, with these accurate information, the vanguard army can have mountains and roads to meet water bridges.

And a good scout, he has a better grasp of fighting and weapons than others, and is very good at concealment.

There are more than 50 of the 300 pro-soldiers in the hands of Shan Qiu, and this proportion is already very high, and the reason is actually very simple, because Shan Qiu is born as a scout, and for the development and use of scouts, Shan Qiu has personally experienced it, so he naturally takes it very seriously.

Through the two wars, Li Xun also has a very clear understanding of some things, such as the Battle of Jiangnan, Huang Xianyong is brave and strategic, but he is too righteous, not good at the use of scouts, and the coordination ability of the whole army is not strong, so that the internal instability and news blockage allow Zheng Ze and others to take advantage of the opportunity, cut off the back road, and almost caused a catastrophe.

The battle of Longyou gave Li Xun a completely different cognition, in some aspects, whether it is personal martial arts or local combat ability, Li Zhong is far inferior to Huang Xuan, but his overall vision is far higher than the former, especially in the use of news, it is the peak, many years ago, it has been sent many scouts to penetrate into the interior of Tubo, some people after years of development, but also in important positions, the battle of Longyou has not yet started, all military operations in Tubo, It has been clearly known by Li Zhong, and with this top-secret information, Li Zhong was able to be one step ahead, calmly arrange military operations, and control the direction of the entire battle situation.

It was through the Battle of Jiangnan and the Battle of Longyou, as well as the war that had just ended tonight, that Li Xun's vision was greatly broadened, and he understood a truth, in this world where information transmission is slow and closed, it is very important to be able to get the enemy's military plan and troop deployment one step in advance, and it is often the decisive factor in the outcome of a war.

"Big Brother Shan, is it easy to train an excellent scout?"

"It's difficult, I'm a scout, so I attach great importance to the training and development of scouts, when I led five thousand, there were many ordinary scouts, but elite scouts were less than a hundred, and an average of sixty or seventy people, only one person could go to the end, complete all the difficult training, and grow into an excellent elite scout."

Shan Qiu shook his head, and then said: "Scouts are the same as the army, focusing on quality rather than weight, it is very difficult to develop a large-scale elite scout force, the entire Great Jin, there is only one person who can really do this, that is Li Zhong Li Dashuai, he has developed an elite scout force of more than 1,000 people in ten years, and for this purpose a new department has been established, Secret Guard, this mysterious army, personnel are all over Anbei, Longyou, Tubo and Momeng grassland, Before the enemy made any moves, Li Dashuai had already known their intentions and plans in advance, and then carried out targeted deployments. ”

Li Xun was thrilled when he heard this, and said loudly: "One day, I will also build such an elite, and if I do anything like that, I will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Shan Qiu smiled and didn't say anything, it's difficult, but it's man-made, it depends on whether you can put in a lot of effort and persevere.

While the two were talking, they arrived three miles away from the camp, and faintly, the sound of shouting and screaming could already be heard.

"You are really a bunch of waste, you have fought with each other several times, and you have been fighting for half an hour, but you can't advance at all, but you have lost dozens of people."

The tattooed man gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Wang Qun's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "The information you gave us, there are more than 500 people on the other side, but there are only about 100 people here, and the others may be hidden in the shadows, how dare I attack with all my might?" ”

The tattooed man said: "What are you afraid of, there are thousands of people behind us, and they will come soon, they are only about five hundred people, how can they be our opponents?" ”

Wang Qun had a cold face, did not answer, what he just said, in fact, it was an excuse, at the beginning, the attack was very smooth, the number of the other party was far less than his own, the two sides were only stalemate for less than a quarter of an hour, and its defense line was already precarious, but at this time, dozens of cavalry killed from behind, a burst of impact, so that their side of the formation was chaotic, these people did not love to fight, rushed and killed for a while, that is, withdrew, Wang Qun chased not, did not chase, and the other party, also took advantage of this opportunity to re-plug the gap and stabilize the defensive line.

More than 300 cavalry, is Wang Qun's most elite existence, saved up for several years, usually as a treasure, now nearly 100 people have died, his heart hurts straight blood, Wang Qun now has an idea, block the other party here, wait for the arrival of the rear troops, all problems will naturally be solved immediately.
