"Dean, we should retreat, they have too many people, and there are strong crossbows, and continuing to fight will only cost the warriors their lives in vain."

"Retreat now, we will be driven out of here at night, what is the point of today's battle."

"Don't be rash!" Jabanis couldn't bear it: "Today's battle is a mistake at all, and continuing to hold on will only make us more passive, you know!" We've lost our planes since the day Kiros was wounded, and we should abandon this place to save our forces. ”

"You coward, coward!" Dean scoffed.

"Don't be naïve, see for yourself, their arrows rained down on our heads, and five out of ten fallen warriors were shot by their crossbows. We were completely exposed on horseback, trapped in the midst of their infantry. Don't wait until night, we'll all be dead, don't you see! ”

"Enough, I've seen it all, retreat, retreat!"

Dean finally chose to compromise and forcibly gave the order to retreat, taking the remnants of the defeated army to cover the defeat, protecting the infantry and archers, and quickly retreating towards Tusai.

"It's really a joy that our army has won the flag!"

Peng Yi exclaimed, but Su Fangxin was not happy:

"Our army has suffered heavy casualties, and we should rescue them as soon as possible."

"Well, Ben will send an army to meet him immediately."

"Then go down and visit Gongzi Yan."

Su Fangxin thought of Bailiyan, he knew that this kind of tactics had flaws, and it was impossible to use one or two, and it would never be possible to try and try it again and again, once the barbarian army discovered the flaws and laws, his own side would be passive and could only be used under special battlefield conditions, and could not be used in the battlefield where the two armies faced each other in an all-round way.

When they came to the back camp, Lu Gao, Su Hong and others were talking around, and from last night to now, a group of people have repeatedly said countless times around a topic:

"Lu Gao, do you think that if our general is really the second son of Qiguo, he will be able to kill him back and become king in the future."

"I don't know." Lu Gao replied expressionlessly, but he had already thought in his heart that if Bailiyan wanted to overthrow Baililu and return to Qiguo to claim the king himself, he would inevitably borrow troops from King Xian. This will involve extremely complex and sensitive internal and foreign relations, and even if King Xian has such intentions, most of them will not dare.

Su Hong said endlessly at this time:

"If our general is the king in the country, can we also be a general, worship a doctor or something."

"You just think about it, I don't have that life for nothing."

Hearing this, Su Hong was not happy:

"Hey, we are all brothers who were born and died with the general, and the general is the king, how can he treat me and others lightly."

"I didn't say that the general would treat me lightly, but with the general's ambition, if I become the king of Qi, I am afraid that there will be no doctors or doctors in the future, everyone will eat food, don't always think about being superior every day, there is no such thing."

"How do you know that the general has told you!" Su Hong said anxiously.

"It was Brother Sikong who said that the general is the least superior." Without thinking, Bai He quickly betrayed his brother: "All men are created equal, and they should eat according to their skills and abilities. Those who contribute should be paid for their efforts, those who work should be paid according to their efforts, and those who carry their heads like me should have the salaries we deserve. Relying on the hereditary shadow of the ancestors to worship the marquis, it is not a real ability. ”

Bai He's words were quite harsh, Lu Gao's face was slightly heavy, he had never heard Bai Liyan talk to him before. Thinking of this, Lu Gao scolded:

"That's it! All say less. ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Fangxin came in vain, and happened to hear what Bai He said, but he was silent, but when it didn't happen, he stepped forward and gave a slight salute and said:

"Generals, Yan Shizi's condition is fine."

"Thanks to Mr. Su's concern, my general's high fever has subsided, and he has not woken up yet." Lu Gao said, opened the curtain, and led Su Fangxin into the account.

The military tent was extremely simple, two sheepskin blankets were spread on the ground, Bailiyan was wrapped in a bed of bear skin and closed tightly with her eyes unconscious, and Sai Qian stayed on the side of the bunk, tired and fell asleep. Su Fangxin glanced at it twice and then retreated.

"General Lu, Su still wants to ask for advice on something, and I hope the general will give him advice."

"Don't dare, Mr. Su, please speak."

"Su Mouguan General Wei's tactics are extremely flawed, does General Lu know?"

"Flaws? What does Mr. Su mean, can you make it clear? ”

"Gongzi Yan Ke once said that this method can't be used in battle battles?"

"Yes, it has been said before." Lu Gao affirmed: "The general has said many times that this tactic can only be outnumbered, not outnumbered. If there is a battle, you will suffer from it. ”

"Oh...... That's right. Su Fangxin sighed lightly, and then said: "According to Su's observation, the subtlety of your army's tactics lies in using the strengths of the Xian army's guerrilla attacks and the shortcomings of the cavalry aggregation. ”

Lu Gao was taken aback when he heard the news, before that, he had not talked to Peng Yi about the tactics and tactics of the Xian Army. I can't help but ask:

"How does the gentleman know?"

Su Fangxin replied with a smile:

"Hehe, this method is actually not only known to Su, but also heard of many soldiers in the Central Plains. Since the beginning of the Xianguo Pioneer Battalion, there has been news from various countries, and after the battle of Shaoping, it has been widely known. Moreover, Xu, Song, and Zhi have many effective laws, but they do not know their marrow, and they have not been able to achieve positive results. ”

"There is still such a thing!" Lu Gao was surprised.

"You are trapped in the Xianguo and busy with the war, so naturally you don't know the news of the Central Plains. Yuke is proficient in the art of war and tactics, and he has long been careful about this news, and he can't hide it from us. However, this time your army came to help in the war, compared with the tactics of the year, there has been a major innovation, and there is a combination of infantry tactics, which caused the barbarian army to suffer losses one after another.

Speaking of which, Gongziyan's design can be said to be nothing new, but the advantage is that it is to cover people's eyes and ears with riding battles, and the clumsy plan can be used again, but this method cannot be used in battle after all, which is a pity. ”

Yuke has intelligence organizations all over the world to collect intelligence information, and the Bailiyan Pioneer Battalion has played a style and made a record of achievements, and the routine of the new tactics has spread rapidly to all parts of the Central Plains in less than half a year, whether it is through the Black Turban Army or within the Xianguo.

The states of Xu, Song, and Zhi studied and tried to emulate the establishment of a similar cavalry model, including the Jin state. It should be said that the Jin State was the first to get the moon near the water, but after four or five years, there was no way to copy the Jin State's own new tactical model by following the model of the Xian Army, let alone other vassal states.

The reason is that the inheritance and development of any tactics requires the core soul organizational structure, and Bailiyan is the core of the organizational structure.

Only when the organizational structure can be continued and strengthened can new ideas and tactics benefit the masses. If the organic combination of ideology and tactics and system architecture is cut off, it will only be a superficial appearance at best.

Su Fangxin and Su Fangyi brothers are different from Mu Yu and others who study strategic psychology, and the Su brothers are famous for their research tactics and tactics in the Yuke think tank.

Su Fangxin's point made Lu Gao fall into complexity and entanglement. He did not want the Xian army's long-standing tactics to be cracked by foreign troops, let alone be used by other countries to deal with the Xian army in the future, and Su Fangxin easily broke the weakness of the tactics, and the threat to the Xian country was undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.

At the beginning of the establishment of the vanguard battalion, Bailiyan was constrained by the military strength and national strength of the Xian army, and the tactical tactics could not win by numbers, so they borrowed from the eclectic and uninhibited guerrilla tactics of the nomads, avoiding the enemy's shortcomings and promoting their own strengths, and the original intention of the tactics was based on encounters and small-scale military conflicts. This tactic of sometimes scattering and sometimes gathering is quite effective.

However, with the continuous expansion of the battlefield area, the widening and lengthening of the battle front, the restriction of communications, the decline of dispatch efficiency, and the increase in the number of troops, the scale of troops reaching the order of 100,000 or even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, will be constrained by technical obstacles such as communications, command, and information transmission.

Small and concise piecemeal tactics, in the face of the grand battlefield with an infinite increase in random probability, the mobility of horses is not a chariot that drinks gasoline and diesel, human ears and eyes, not clairvoyance, it is impossible to give you a tireless run and gallop without limits, and accept information from all sides without restrictions.

When the scale and space greatly limit the width of your tactics, exceed the convenience of communication, and overflow the total amount of logical thinking, this small and concise tactical method will fail.

Bai Liyan has repeatedly focused on clarifying the drawbacks of piecemeal mobile and flexible tactics in the lecture hall, but due to the national strength of the Xian State, it is destined to be impossible to develop a strong cavalry with a scale of more than 100,000 on a large scale, and the tactical thinking is essentially different from the principle of the Continental Army's cavalry group operations. This time, he was repeatedly encircled and suppressed by the barbarian army, because he did not understand the essential difference in the tactics of the Xian army, and fell into the hands of the cavalry of the Xian army.

"General Lu, since Gongzi Yan has said it, does he have any other tactics?" Su Fangxin continued to ask.

"This ...... Ben had never heard of it. ”

Lu Gao flatly denied that in fact, in the winter of 628 Shengyuan, Bailiyan fought with 30,000 cavalry under Ye Xin's department and made a model of 100,000 cavalry, which lasted for 15 days, and conducted a total of four simulation drills, summing up a set of effective tactics, but never put them into actual combat, because they were not used at all, and there was no opportunity to verify whether the tactics were effective.

Lu Gao denied it, naturally because he didn't want this kind of tactic to be obtained by outsiders. Su Fangxin got to the bottom of the matter, because he believed that a famous general like Bailiyan could never be confined to just a square inch, and he must have a greater tactical concept, and now Lu Gao didn't say it, Su Fangxin had nothing to do.

Lu Gao was born in the forbidden army of King Xian's inner palace, and Su Fangxin believed that he was also a close confidant sent by King Xian to monitor Bailiyan, otherwise King Xian would definitely not hand over his heavy troops to a Qiguo person. Lu Gao kept silent, and it was impossible for the other generals to reveal a word.

At dusk, the battle was basically over, with more than 17,000 civilian casualties, more than 8,000 barbarian soldiers killed, and more than 200 people captured. In the face of a barbarian army armed to the teeth, it was not easy for the poorly equipped civilian army to achieve such results. If Jabanese succeeds in attacking from behind, the civilian army's casualties could more than double.

Of course, the civilian army is not without benefits, the captured horses and iron weapons will be given priority to equip them, and the metal armor will be transported back to the rear to be smelted and recast to create armor or weapons that are more in line with the standards of the Central Plains.

That night, Peng Yi used 60,000 men to replace the civilian army that had been fighting during the day, and continued to dig trenches.
