Three months have passed since the Battle of Cangzhou in the blink of an eye. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The gates, once blasted open by barbarian gunpowder, have been restored to their original appearance by craftsmen, and only the red soil on the ground proves that there was once a terrible war here.
On the city wall, Cangzhou soldiers in full armor patrolled back and forth, vigilantly watching the merchants who came and went in and out of the city gates.
Although the Great Yu Kingdom and the barbarians were at war, the King of Qi did not issue an order to prohibit trade with the barbarians, but the merchants who came and went became more and more frequent.
It's just that every merchant who enters the grass must have a pass issued by Qingzhou, and the goods traded are also strictly restricted.
"Your Highness, now a hundred artillery pieces have been installed on the city gate, which is equal to five meters each, and the amount of ammunition is also very sufficient, and now the morale of the soldiers is very high, and they all want to fight with the barbarians!"
After arriving in Cangzhou, Xiao Ming and others first went to the city tower to check the armament, and Chen Fu was full of confidence while introducing it.
The last battle of Cangzhou was won, which was not only an honor for the people of the fiefdom, but also changed the fear of the barbarians from the heart, especially the soldiers from the previous talk of barbarians to the present active war, this change of state is the most precious.
An army with high morale and an army ready to flee at any time have completely different effects when fighting a war.
"It's rare that the morale of the soldiers is so high, but strategically we must despise the enemy, but tactically we must attach importance to the enemy, and we can't despise the enemy because of the last victory." Xiao Ming raised his eyes and looked at the boundless grassland.
At that invisible end, Beishan's blood wolf tribe has been roaming this land, this is the former homeland of the Great Yu Kingdom, and it is the loss of the horse breeding land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that the Great Chongqing Country is increasingly unable to compete with the iron cavalry of the barbarians, and can only be passively defended.
Zhan Xingchang has been preparing for the construction of the city wall in Cangzhou City for the past two months, and at this time he said: "Your Highness, now that the city wall is being built, I am afraid that the barbarians will continue to attack and harass, and now the barbarians seem to have learned wisely, and their cavalry is no longer gathered together, but scattered, so that even artillery is difficult to hit them." ”
"This time, the two thousand cavalry arrived in Cangzhou, in order to solve this problem, we can no longer defend passively, we must take the initiative to attack, and use the telescope to find the enemy's advantage in advance and attack the blood wolf tribe in turn." Xiao Ming said.
This is a decision he hesitated for a long time, there are few cavalry in Qingzhou, and they are also very precious, but if the city wall cannot be built, it will be even more fatal at that time.
Therefore, this time, Niu Ben and Lu Fei will lead the cavalry into the grassland, relying on Cangzhou City, to carry out the burning and looting of the barbarian tribes on the grassland, which is also to fight poison with poison and return tooth for tooth.
Zhan Xingchang nodded, "Your Highness is finally willing to make this decision, the barbarians have always regarded the people of my Dayu country as inferior, so they never show mercy when they kill the people of Dayu country, and it is no different from slaughtering cattle and sheep. ”
"Zhan Assassin History, this is too despicable, in this way, what is the difference between us and the barbarians." Lu Fei was dissatisfied, "At least I can't do it Lu Fei to kill the old and the young, women and children." ”
Xiao Ming looked at Zhan Xingchang with some surprise, and Zhan Xingchang's words at this time were quite thoughtful about guerrilla warfare in later generations.
He said to Lu Fei: "Pedantic, when the barbarians killed my people, did they think about the old and the young, women and children? Have you forgotten that the barbarians are the people when they dismount, and they are the warriors when they get on their horses? Have you forgotten the 80,000 people of the Great Chongqing Kingdom who were driven to death in the Battle of Cangzhou? If you have such an idea, this time to attack the grassland, you Lu Fei will not go, go back to Qingzhou. ”
Lu Fei shrunk his neck when he was scolded by Xiao Ming, and said with a sneer: "Your Highness, I will listen to you." ”
Xiao Ming snorted and said: "The history of this exhibition is very right, there must be no women's benevolence to the barbarians, and this time when entering the grassland, you must be strong and clear the wilderness and combine guerrilla warfare." ”
"Guerrilla warfare?" Niu Ben and the other generals asked puzzled.
Xiao Ming nodded, "This guerrilla warfare is a tactic adopted when the enemy is strong and I am weak, I won't say much about the strong wall and clear the wilderness, this time I encountered the barbarian nomadic tribe, the cattle and sheep can take away, and those who can't be taken away will be killed." ”
"As for this guerrilla warfare, the history of the exhibition has been very clear, but this king now wants to officially include this tactic in the cavalry combat mode, this time to enter the grassland must adopt this method, otherwise, if the loss of troops is due to the failure to adopt guerrilla tactics, this king will definitely cut off his head, there is no joke in the army, this king's words will be left here." Xiao Ming said in a solemn voice.
In terms of governing the army, Xiao Ming doesn't know how to talk about human feelings, whether it is Niu Ben, Lu Fei or Luo Xin, they can't come nonsense, they will give orders, and all generals will obey, this is his army.
Niu Ben and Lu Fei's expressions became solemn, everyone joked with each other on weekdays, but at this time, they were soldiers.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The generals said.
Xiao Ming continued: "Now I will tell you what guerrilla warfare is, and the specific application of guerrilla warfare, this guerrilla method, the general outline is only one sentence, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy retreats and I chase, if you can stab a cold knife in the back, you will never fight a frontal battle......
Combined with the knowledge in the science and technology library, Xiao Ming taught the essence of guerrilla warfare to Niu Ben and others, and then took out several specific combat examples, which were all modern, but he adapted them.
In the process of guerrilla warfare, Xiao Ming also asked Niu Ben to pursue the same war terrorism as the barbarians-massacre, because only in this way can the barbarians be deterred and the barbarians exhausted in order to pursue this group of cavalry.
Xiao Ming's talk was an hour, and Niu Ben and others gradually understood.
Niu Ben said: "Your Highness, the last general understands, and this time he will live up to His Highness's expectations." ”
"Old general, this time you are allowed to go out in person, just because you are the only one who has the experience of fighting barbarians on the grassland." Xiao Ming said.
Niu Ben said: "Your Highness's words are outside, loyalty to the monarch for the country, this is the duty of a soldier, Lian is quite old, can you still eat?" What's more, I, Niu Ben, am in the prime of life, even if it is to thank His Royal Highness for his kindness, Niu Ben has nothing to shirk at this time. ”
Xiao Ming arched his hand, he looked at Lu Fei, this kid can fight and cause trouble, he warned: "Lu Fei, this time is different from the past, don't be willful, otherwise this king will not be polite." ”
