Chapter Forty-Eight: Soldiers for a Time

Hundreds of years have passed, and the Southern Xiongnu can no longer be simply called barbarians.

After living in Senai for a long time, the Xiongnu nobles read Han books, spoke Han Chinese, wore Han clothes, and even because some things were learned from books, they were more Han than Han people in some places!

Naturally, it is inevitable that they have also been exposed to the art of war of the Han people, although it is only a widely circulated military book and there is little contact, but they still understand some superficial art of war. About, what Yanbei knew five years ago, the Xiongnu nobles knew no less than him.

The art of war and the art of war are also different statements. For example, Liutao, who Yanbei didn't know at the earliest but could write silently, was made by Jiang Taigong, also known as Taigong's Art of War. But it's not like that in the hands of Yanbei, a book has been handed down for hundreds of years, I don't know how many people have handled it, the earliest one called Liuhou is also called annotation, the original text plus the conclusion is only a hundred words, and the rest is called Lian Dan is written by himself, and there are some unknown people who explain that the whole book is the same handwriting, and I think it was copied by Tao Qian from nowhere.

It took three years after Yanbei got this book to figure out that this Liuhou was Zhang Liang. As for Lian Dan, he asked someone to ask, but he didn't find out why, and after a long time, I heard that it was Wang Mang's new dynasty period of the first general, who did all kinds of evil, and later suppressed the Red Mei army and was defeated and killed. The last annotation should be the most detailed one recorded by Tao Qian himself, but he is not a general in Yanbei's eyes...... In other words, the Liutao obtained by Yanbei can be regarded as a volume with fewer and poorer strategies in the art of war among the various versions of Liutao in the world.

This is also the reason why the dignitaries and nobles grasp the ladder of ascension, not that people from poor families can ascend to the sky in one step after getting the books, in fact, even if they are lucky to get the books, how much knowledge is contained in the same title is to try their luck, and even some people have no chance to see the annotations handed down by other people's families when copying the book, and it is not good to read the small seal of the first dynasty in order to read this book in the Later Han Dynasty, otherwise it will be a thousand miles away from the slightest mistake, and it will not be able to read at all.

A word in the scriptures will be bad for the world, especially in the military book, the book is written in the Lin Mo in, Mo Zi does not know, the general with the army will drill eighty percent to die when he sees the forest, or the kind that leads the whole army to the funeral.

This is not the most terrifying, if the luck is not good, the previous master of the book of war is as proud as that Liandan, and according to his own understanding, the tampering is unrecognizable, and it is the same as Yanbei in the early years...... After reading so many great truths, I still can't fight a battle.

But the gate is different, although there will also be conceited ancestors tampering with the military book, but as long as the disappeared gate is handed down, it is most likely to win the battle and make meritorious deeds. It's not the same with the annotations of real talent and real learning.

There is no shortage of people in this world who like to write military books or change the military books of their predecessors. For example, Brother Meng De in the south wrote half a new book in his early years, and also gave Yanbei a volume, but Yanbei didn't pay attention to him when he saw that he was always defeated, and when he went north to mourn Wei You, he gave his only son. However, Brother Meng De did not slack off because of Yanbei's disdain, and now the new books have been compiled, and more than 100,000 words of military books have been distributed to generals, and all generals have been engaged in the "New Book". Moreover, the spy who returned from Yanzhou also said that Cao Cao had recently been working on "Sun Tzu's Note".

The move of distributing the generals' books to the generals and colonels is excellent in Yanbei's opinion. Not to mention Cao Cao's personal experience in using soldiers, at least this new book is a thorough integration of the military books that Cao Cao has been able to access since he was young, and handed over all his brains to his subordinate generals, how much does this improve the combat ability of his subordinate generals?

When Yanbei knew about this, he secretly slandered in his heart, if General Tiangong tried his best to get the basic military book in more than ten years, mixed with the Taiping Qing Collar Sutra and distributed it to the Yellow Turban Lux and the big and small Fangqu Shuai, the rebellion did not say victory or defeat, there was no food and grass, and he did not know how to govern, and in the long run, he would still be defeated, but at least when the army fought alone, he would not be beaten by the Han army from south to north like a stubble of wheat.

However, looking at the actions of the Southern Xiongnu, it can be regarded as implementing the essence of raising troops for a thousand days in the art of war, seizing the opportunity to bite the Han Dynasty, but if there is a failure, surrender and then re-attach, the big deal is to change a single Yu, and the next time it will be plundered and annexed.

This time, they sold the art of war to Yanbei, taking advantage of the slight relaxation of Wei Xu's army to return to the city, they galloped to a thousand steps outside the city in the dark before being discovered, and the conflict entered the city in a hundred steps to break through the third base. The results of the two surprise attacks in Yanbei in the past 100 days were all returned, and the infantry archers stationed outside the city suffered a lot of damage.

When Yanbei arrived at the head of the city, there was a fierce battle under the city, and Cao Xing's station could be seen from his direction...... Previously, Yanbei noticed that the generals of Bingzhou did not have a rigorous management of the army except for Gao Shun, but in the morning it was a time to make meritorious contributions, and it was not good to pour cold water on his subordinates, and a moment of negligence made Cao Xing's subordinate soldiers suffer enough, and the Huns broke through the third base in a short period of time and rushed into the second wooden camp gate, and threw down the straw torches and burned with the wind.

Even so, the ruins of the wooden fence of the third base were burning everywhere, and the Huns had recently broken through the gate of the second base camp and were frantically rushing inward.

In the chaos, Yan Bei saw Cao Xing, who was running with a bow and a knife, with an arrow inserted in the big armor on his waist, and his running posture looked weird, and he was obviously shot in the buttocks. It was not difficult to see meat on the campfire in the direction he had run...... This bastard actually roasted meat while he was guarding outside the city!

Seeing Cao Xing's ass sticking arrows and not escaping, he let out an inhuman scream from his mouth, carrying a strong bow and running towards the front line broken by the Huns, and waving his arms to assign soldiers to resist desperately, Yan Bei's narrow eyes finally maintained a little unhappiness, and waved his hand to Gao Shun beside him: "The crossbowmen in the city rode and shot the rear of the Huns, and ordered Captain Xu at the north gate to lead the cavalry to attack the enemy's rear road and disperse." ”

It is okay to defend the Huns around the city, after all, there are many bonfires outside the third base to illuminate some open space, and the eyesight can still be taken care of. If the light and shadow are lost in the suburbs, it is difficult for the Han army, who grew up mostly on dry food, to fight with the Huns at night blindfolded.

This is different from the night battle between the Han army and the Han army, in the end, most of the main generals are carnivorous, as long as the soldiers have night combat training, the situation of the two sides under the command of the main general is equal. However, the Huns were rarely blind at night, and the Han army was very disadvantageous in night battles with them.

In fact, there is no need for Yanbei to say, Gao Shun ran to the city with him, saw the situation and did not speak, raised his hand to make a few gestures to the soldiers, and the junior officers of the school captain department shouted and gave orders to their subordinates, and in a blink of an eye, there was a tooth-sour sound of a strong crossbow winding, and in a blink of an eye, a crossbow arrow flew towards the rear of the Huns.

Seeing the crossbow bolts flying overhead, Cao Xing was even more excited, abandoned the strong bow and raised his sword, scolded and scolded while pumping cold air while shouting to supervise the battle, and the Hun soldiers' charge was blocked!
