Chapter 390: The Essence of Guerrilla Warfare
The soldiers who were searched by the Cao army were defeated by the tiger guards led by Qin Feng. Since Qin Feng and the others were all dressed in grass camouflage, they came and went as a moving bush, and when they squatted down, they became one with nature and there was no trace. Seeing this, Cao Bing was full of heart and gall, thinking that he had encountered a plant and tree spirit that would escape, and retreated in a panic.
When walking through the normal grass, they also took a detour. What's more, they bow to the grass under the trees. Pray to the heavens, and let these grasses know their awe, and let themselves go.
Will the grass kill?
It's hard to understand!
Xiahoudun heard the shouting of killing in front of him, thinking that he had finally found Qin Feng, so he said that he would lead the men and horses to kill him. Hearing the officer's return, he said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense! ”
The officer who reported the news, as a hardcore native of ancient times, was born full of awe of the gods of mountains and rivers, so he panicked and said: "The grass is alive, alive!" There are ghosts, it must be that we didn't worship God when we entered the forest, and the ghosts killed people! ”
"Mess with our army!" Xiahoudun didn't believe in any ghosts, he saw that the officer was at a loss, so he thought that he was a cowardless ghost, and he must have encountered some strange phenomenon in the night, so he shouted here. So, in a fit of rage, he waved his sword and said that he would kill the man who disturbed the morale of the army.
However, at this time, more forward officers ran over in a panic, "General, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!" ”
Under the light of the torches, Xiahoudun's face was suddenly embarrassed. Cao Ren and the others looked at each other and were suspicious. "Is there really a ghost?"
Cao Ren is a rare general in Cao Cao's camp, and he stepped out and said: "General Xiahou, this must be Qin Zijin's suspicious plan." The soldier did not know why, and then he panicked. When the hearts of the soldiers are appeased. Every step of the way. ”
When Xiahou heard what he said, he took the big knife. He reprimanded the many junior officers who came to report: "Don't talk nonsense, this is an ambush by the Qin army, not some ghosts." You immediately go back and put the soldiers in order, step by step, and search in detail. Our generals will go with you. ”
It will be the courage of the soldiers, and the officers heard that Xiahoudun would go with them, so they were relieved a lot, with a heart of surprise. Return to the front line and regroup the soldiers.
However, the chaos of the soldiers will not be able to be reined in a short period of time. In addition, more than 100 clumps of grass came and went in the woods, rioting and killing. The hearts of the soldiers could not be gathered, and the 3,000 men of Cao's army scattered and ran back.
It was dark and couldn't look far away, and in the dense forest, there were so many people and horses, Xiahoudun couldn't be gathered for a while. At the same time, the Chinese army was hit and some began to be chaotic.
"The grass kills!"
"There's a ghost!"
"Immortals spare their lives!" 3,000 people shouted together in surprise to attack the rear troops. In the dark night, the army didn't know what they found ahead, and they really thought that there were demons and monsters. How can people fight against ghosts, so the whole army suddenly has a tendency to mutiny.
Xiahoudun's face was cloudy, and he exclaimed, "Where is the supervising team." Kill these disruptors! ”
Xiahou Yuan was shocked and said, "Brother, don't!" The former army has been broken and is extremely numerous. And in the middle of this dense forest. It's night again, and it's extremely hard to identify. If it's a mistake. The whole army is in chaos, and Qin Zijin's plan is in the middle! ”
"What a good thing this is!" I saw many defeated soldiers hurrying by. Xiahoudun was also flustered.
As the first general surnamed Cao, Cao Ren said dissatisfiedly: "When I came, I said that when Lin Mo entered, I am afraid that there will be a change." ”
Xiahoudun, as the first general of Cao Cao's relatives, his face changed when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and gurgled.
Cao Hong hurriedly played a round and said, "The two generals are both serving the lord, so they should work together." Now the army is a little chaotic, but retreat some distance and regain the side. ”
Xiahoudun endured a sigh of relief, and gave the order that the whole army retreated three miles and regrouped.
Cao Jun was holding torches, and it was obvious that he was retreating in the night.
In the midst of the blood, a ball of grass stood up, looked far away, and said to himself: "The Cao army has retreated, and the old man Taizu's tactics are really exquisite. ”
More than 100 clumps of grass gathered and all stood up.
"Lord, I have killed more than 70 people, and several of them have knelt down and shouted to my immortal ancestors!" Dian Wei didn't dare to daxiao, and couldn't help but just grin.
Xu Chu said excitedly: "It's really happy, Xu Chu also killed more than sixty people." When those Cao soldiers saw our disguise, they shouted ghosts, monsters, and none of them dared to fight back. ”
Chen Zhi admired the master's strategy, and said confidently: "Lord, we have not lost a single person, what should we do next?" Take advantage of the chaos to go to the river? ”
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Just now, the enemy advanced and I retreated, and now the enemy is about to retreat and I advance." Everyone moved forward together, and Cao Jun could not be given a chance to breathe. ”
So, he led the people in pursuit.
"Wow!" Cao Bing's frightened screams remembered again.
"The grass is coming! Run! ”
"The grass is killing again, quick, quick, who brings incense and candles, hurry up baibai!"
Due to Qin Feng's continuous pursuit, Xiahoudun had no chance to reunite the frightened former sergeant.
Cao Ren was very dissatisfied and said: "It seems that the retreat and reorganization of Jihua failed, and the chaotic soldiers and horses of the previous army should be spared, but the soldiers and horses of the Chinese army are bound to be impacted and can no longer be used." At such times, a stable rear sergeant should be mobilized to counterattack the enemy. In this way, there will be enough time to gather the chaotic soldiers. ”
Xiahoudun was embarrassed to listen to the lecture on the art of war, so he agreed to Cao Ren's suggestion, and he immediately ordered the front army to retreat, and the rear army soldiers gathered on the spot.
Every fifty soldiers of the Cao army were united, and 5,000 people were scattered on a front of hundreds of meters, step by step, and the spears in their hands were stabbed in a flurry of grass when they encountered any grass, making a swishing and clattering sound, and even a rabbit could not hide in the small grass.
Qin Feng only had more than 100 people, and when he saw this, he knew that he could no longer assassinate, "If the enemy advances, I will retreat, and if the enemy retreats, I will advance, we must use it flexibly!" So he ordered them to retreat.
When he retreated, he saw that in addition to Cao Bing's corpse, there were also a large number of spears on the ground. He suddenly remembered the famous Roman javelinmen. In later generations, there was a man named Sparta who was very famous for using this. Throw javelins to kill enemies from a distance, stop enemy attacks, and strike enemy momentum.
Qin Feng immediately conveyed the order, so Xu Chu and the others collected the spears on the spot. Cao Bing searching with torches not far away. All of them are dazzling live targets.
With a roar, spears fluttered in the air. A large number of Cao soldiers began to die.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei are brave, and Cao Bing is densely standing in line, and often they can penetrate as many as three or five people with one shot.
Soon, Cao Jun suffered nearly a thousand casualties.
Qin Feng didn't see a single hair, and nearly 3,000 people died on his side, so Xiahoudun was anxious, so he said: "Our army is holding torches, and the goal is obvious. The enemies are all in the shadows, so searching is not the way to go. ”
Xiahou Yuan had an idea, and said: "What my brother said is very true, now that it has been half a night, let's gather the soldiers and horses together, and the small number of soldiers on the periphery will also disguise themselves as grass guards, and wait until dawn, and then encircle and suppress." This is to give back to the other in the way of the other, and ...... to the other. ”
"Do you have any opinions?" Xiahoudun asked.
Cao Hong couldn't think of a way. No comments. Cao Ren's opinion just now failed, and he had no opinion in his depression.
So, more than 10,000 Cao soldiers gathered together, and sent a team of 1,000 people to lie on the ground as grass in weeds. Serves as a sentry for vigilance. Xiahoudun's order, if it encounters a moving grass, shout. And he sent his troops to help.
Qin Feng saw that Cao Bing was stationed, and the old man Taizu said: The enemy is stationed and I am disturbing. Thereupon. He led all the soldiers and sneaked over to assassinate them quietly.
However, the grass of Cao Jun in the darkness. Soon the grass where the Qin army was moving was discovered, and they shouted warnings, and a large army came to support.
"Lord, the enemy is very shameless to learn from us, what if we can't get close now?" Dian Wei scratched the grass branch on his head and said.
Cao Jun's grass was in the dark, and Qin Feng couldn't tell it either, he didn't expect Xiahoudun to learn this trick so quickly. After pondering for a while, he said: "The enemy should be used flexibly to harass us, let's divide into three shifts and take turns to rest." ”
So, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Chen each led a class, each for an hour, and took turns to disturb Cao Jun.
Three hours before sunrise, there were constantly Cao Jun grass shouting warnings, and the frightened Cao Jun soldiers felt that the big trees under the moonlight around them had become like tree monsters, and the branches were jagged and creepy when they looked at the past. In this way, the Cao soldiers could not sleep all night.
The four generals of Xiahou also had no sleep all night, and after staying up until dawn, they felt physically and mentally exhausted and depressed.
Cao Ren said: "General, if we are still like this, let alone ordinary soldiers. The Lord ordered us to encircle and suppress Qin Zijin, but we can't rush in easily. Do you want to withdraw and rest for a day. As long as the defense along the river is properly maintained, Qin Feng will definitely not be able to cross the river. ”
Xiahoudun didn't sleep all night, and he was very depressed at the moment, so he followed Cao Ren's advice and ordered the whole army to withdraw from the forest.
"It's so hateful! It's so shameless, only a despicable villain like Qin Zijin can come up with such a shameless tactic! The four generals couldn't crack Qin Feng's guerrilla warfare, so they scolded in their hearts. The four of them led the retreat in frustration, and even the war horses under their crotches hung their heads.
More than 10,000 Cao soldiers were even more unbearable, the flags were indiscriminately resisted on their shoulders, and a group of people yawned, and their morale was completely lost.
At this moment, Qin Feng was arranging tactics for his subordinates, so he heard him say: "If the enemy retreats, I will advance, and when the enemy is tired, I will fight." Now, Cao Bing's morale is low, he has no sleep all night, and he must be unable to fight. Let's quietly catch up and strangle the rest of the team. Each of the three of you led a squad, and rushed to the front to chase and kill on three sides, and blossomed in many places, so that they could not take care of the beginning and the end. But one thing to remember, that is, the enemy advances and I retreat! ”
"Lord, don't worry, I Dian Wei understands. It's the enemy who rushes up, so let's retreat. When the enemy is gone, let's spank him. The enemy is stationed, we can't let him rest, if the enemy is tired, let's take the opportunity to give him a hard time. Dian Wei shook his head and said.
"Yes, yes, you have mastered the essence of guerrilla warfare." Qin Feng couldn't help but think of the wisdom of his grandfather and the tactics he invented were easy to understand, so that the masses of people quickly learned the essence of fighting devils. If it is a military academy in a certain big country in the future, and then come out to command the battle after studying for four or five years, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold.
Dian Wei was praised by the lord and triumphant, so he led a group of men and horses to leave first. (To be continued......)
