Chapter 182: Showing Weakness
、、、、、、、
When Xiao Tianjian went out of the city again, it was already the ugly hour of the next morning, and when he went out of the city, Xiao Tianjian had a young man in a scribe's shirt next to him, walking side by side, all the way out of the county seat, back to the camp, and when they returned to the camp, it was already about to dawn, but Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin were not a little sleepy, but even his cold seemed to be much better.
And Xiao Tianjian was full of spring breeze, the standard is the state of being in good spirits when people are happy, and after washing his face with cold water, he said to Li Xin: "There are many inconveniences in the army, and I hope that Mr. can take care of them more!" At present, when the two armies are fighting, Xiao has an order in the army, and no banquets are allowed in the army during the war, so he can't give Mr. the wind and dust! ”
Li Xin was really flattered, and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed down and said: "Dashuai is really killing students!" The students are not talented, and it is already a blessing for three lives to be so favored by the handsome! Only hating students is shallow and unrewarded, and the handsome don't have to be so polite to students! ”
Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said: "After you and I had a long talk last night, Ben Shuai has already seen that Mr. is also a talented person, and it is my Xiao's three lives to be fortunate to be able to get Mr. Vote, how can I treat Mr. slowly?" Today, after all, our army is at war with the officers and soldiers, and we will talk about this matter later! Sir, the strength of our two armies this time is like this......"
Saying that, Xiao Tianjian was no longer polite to Li Xin, led Li Xin to a simple sand table, pointed to the various markers on the sand table and explained to Li Xin his combat deployment of the officers and soldiers this time, after saying that, he put down the wooden stick in his hand and asked Li Xin: "Sir, do you think there is anything wrong with our arrangement like this?" ”
After listening to Xiao Tianjian's explanation, he was very interested in the three-dimensional combat sand table in front of him, and the layout of the soldiers and horses on both sides was clearly marked on this sand table, so that people could not help but be amazed at a glance after seeing the deployment of troops on both sides, so that he couldn't help but be amazed, so he asked Xiao Tianjian who this sand table came from.
Xiao Tianjian naturally smiled unceremoniously: "Don't hide it, sir, this sand table is from the idea of this marshal, whenever there is a big war in the army, it will order skilled craftsmen to make a sand table according to the surrounding terrain, and then mark the situation explored by the scouts on the sand table, so that the generals in the army can understand the battlefield situation at a glance, and some people in the province are not clear about the situation and miss the big thing!" ”
Hearing that the sand table was created by Xiao Tianjian, Li Xin admired Xiao Tianjian even more, nodded and praised again and again, looked around the sand table, and suddenly asked: "From what the students have seen, this time the marshal is here to fight with the officers and soldiers, and the marshal's strength is obviously at a disadvantage, so it is more appropriate to arrange it like this, but after all, the students have not been trained in the war, so I am afraid they can't provide any advice to the marshal!" I hope that the handsome man will bear with me!
The student is a little puzzled, with the current arrangement of the marshal, it seems that it is not as simple as just wanting to defeat the official army, if the student guesses correctly, the marshal will place such a cavalry on the west bank of the Tiedi River in the south far away from the battlefield, and not let them approach the battlefield, it should be to use them to annihilate the official army in this area, but the marshal does not have many troops now, can he be so sure that he can guarantee that with these forces at hand, he can defeat Zuo Liangyu's department? ”
Xiao Tianjian admired Li Xin even more after hearing this, to be honest, Li Xin can not be called a qualified general now, after all, although he is full of military strategies, but after all, it is all on paper, with his experience, he has never participated in a serious war, and his experience should be very not rich, but even so, he can see such a deep thing in the layout of his own troops on the combat sand table, and it is no wonder that this person will leave a name in history and become the most strategic general under Li Zicheng. It's a pity that Li Zicheng made a mistake in the end, and he actually killed such a wise general, and it's no wonder that he can't achieve great things.
Xiao Tianjian smiled and said: "It's not surprising that Mr. asked like this, Xiao does have plans this time to encircle and annihilate this official army here as much as possible!" As for the strength of the troops, Sir does not have to worry, although on the surface the strength of the officers and troops far exceeds us a lot, but in terms of quality we far surpass them a lot, if you want to calculate the combat effectiveness of both sides, then Sir might as well use one person in our army, five people on top of the official army to calculate, in this way, on the contrary, our strength is in an absolute advantage! ”
Li Xin couldn't help but be taken aback after hearing this, although he had heard that the Xingtian Army could be said to have won many battles against the official army, but he didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to be so confident in the combat effectiveness of the generals under his command, and he would actually think that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command could be compared with the officers and soldiers, and they could be one to five, if Xiao Tianjian was not an arrogant maniac, what he said was true, then the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army was really quite terrifying!
Looking at Li Xin's surprised expression, Xiao Tianjian smiled and said: "Sir, don't be surprised, Xiao said this, it's not that he is too arrogant, but that our army's tactics are very different from those of the official army. So it's not an exaggeration to say this, and Mr. will naturally understand when he looks at the battle situation in the future! ”
After hearing this, Li Xin nodded and said, "I hope that as the big marshal said, the students will come this time, and they will wait for it!" As for the suggestion, the student really can't provide much this time, if the big marshal can trust the student, the student is not helpless, please give the student a spear, the student is willing to be strong and persistent for the big handsome, and rush to the front! ”
Xiao Tianjian laughed out loud after hearing this, and nodded again and again: "Okay!" If Mr. can say this, how can Xiao not let Mr. get his wish......"
Although Li Xin is very famous in history, after all, he has no combat experience, and he can understand this, and he did not arrogantly point fingers at his own combat deployment as soon as he came to the army, which shows that Li Xin is not a boastful person, and he would rather not say a word, and first ask for some training in the army, which also shows that this person is a talent that can be created. Now Xiao Tianjian doesn't expect him to really be his right-hand man, as long as he is willing to start from the basics, then sooner or later, he believes that Li Xin can stand out among the generals.
So even if Xiao Tianjian agreed to Li Xin's request, after the promotion, he introduced him to the generals in the army, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a set of scale armor for Li Xin, and asked people to choose a complete set of exquisite weapons for him, distributed them to Li Xin, and did not give him a real position, only ordered him to temporarily obey Li Xuanzhu's orders in the name of the senator. When he really grows into a general, it's not too late to give him another award.
The generals were also more polite to the newcomer Li Xin, and the big guy also saw that Xiao Tianjian attached great importance to this person, so he was quite polite to Li Xin, as for Li Jinde, he had been watching Li Xin with a peek, and secretly wondered in his heart why this student, who looked almost white and pure like him, was so valued by Xiao Tianjian? However, Xiao Tianjian did this, and everyone had nothing to say, after all, Xiao Tianjian did not give Li Xin any real position at the moment, but only temporarily let him walk in the army, so everyone did not pay much attention to Li Xin, and now it was the time for them to fight with Zuo Liangyu, and soon all the generals turned their attention back to the current war.
For four consecutive days, the Xingtian Army closed its doors without fighting, allowing Zuo Liangyu to shout and scold outside the camp, and did not pay attention to them, although Zuo Liangyu was vigilant, but after a long time, he still relaxed a little, during the four days, he repeatedly sent people to tentatively attack several camps of the Xingtian Army, but the Xingtian Army guarded the camp and did not show how sharp their firearms were, although they would also fire a few cannons from time to time, and occasionally put a few rows of birds, but it was far less terrible than the legend.
In this way, the soldiers and generals under Zuo Liangyu gradually relaxed, freed from the tension of facing a great enemy at the beginning, and laughed loudly at each other for the Xingtian Army, but it was not as powerful as the legend at all.
Although Zuo Liangyu was still suspicious, but for four consecutive days, he repeatedly tested the Xingtian Army, but the Xingtian Army avoided fighting, and he also sent scouts to the vicinity to investigate to see if the Xingtian Army had any tricks, but after a few days, he failed to find any soldiers and horses in the ambush of the nearby Xingtian Army.
In this way, Zuo Liangyu was somewhat relieved, and on the fifth day, he finally transferred the army out of the camp and formed several attack groups outside the camp of the Xingtian Army, and he personally led the main force of the people, Chen Bing outside the barracks of the Xingtian Army, and opened the posture of attacking the camp of the Xingtian Army.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are arranged, the momentum is really terrifying, at a glance, the officers and soldiers are boundless, and there are a small number of cavalry galloping arrogantly back and forth in front of the Xingtian military camp, whistling loudly and scolding, blowing their beards and glaring at the soldiers of the Xingtian Army one by one, and their lungs are almost about to explode, if it weren't for Xiao Tianjian's strict order not to open artillery without authorization, Huang Shengqiang would almost pull out his cannons and bombard these officers and soldiers.
These officers and soldiers can be said to be extremely arrogant outside the Xingtian Army these days, they saw that the Xingtian Army was closed and did not fight, they thought that the Xingtian Army was really afraid of them, and there were a group of ruffians outside the Xingtian military camp all day long, and even made extremely insulting actions, unbuttoned their belts and peed on the Xingtian Army outside the Xingtian military camp, not to mention, and even yesterday they didn't know where to arrest a few women, and were pulled outside the Xingtian Army by a group of ruffians, calling them thieves and insulting them in public.
These performances can be said to be mad at the generals of the Xingtian Army, some of the firecrackers really couldn't help it, and almost ran to the barracks to shoot at these ruffians, and then they were ordered by the officers to retreat before they did not fire, and today when they saw that almost all the officers and troops went to battle, and made a posture of attacking the camp with all their might, the generals couldn't bear it anymore, and they all looked for Xiao Tianjian to fight, and wanted to go out to fight Zuo Liangyu.
(Three more arrived!) Brothers, cheer! )
