After ordering all this, Li Xiuning glanced at Zhou Shaoyu, then turned his head and said to the patriarch who was being stopped by the high priest: "The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, as a general, you must know how to make trade-offs, otherwise you will only harm others and yourself." ”

Zhou Shaoyu also looked at Li Xiuning, knowing that this was also said to himself, so he didn't interject at the moment, stood aside and listened, he knew his shortcomings, and he would not let go of any opportunity to learn.

"The current situation is like boiling a frog in warm water, the water temperature is too hot, Gu Ran will be hurt, but he can escape directly, and if he slowly warms up, when he reacts, he will already be unable to escape death, what is the use of relying on a few Miao people to come back to support? Sooner or later, they will be killed. Li Xiuning said again.

"Eh......" The patriarch shook his fist in discouragement, turned his head and didn't dare to look at the battle in front of him.

How could he not know the truth of this, but the authorities are fascinated, as the patriarch, every clansman is his own child, and he is unwilling to leave anyone behind, so he never thought about giving up.

But it is true that as Li Xiuning said, maybe the number of Miao people is more than that of the other party, but this kind of sporadic reinforcement is at most only to maintain the situation, and now it is okay, there are constantly people rushing back.

But what about a long time? Those bandits Gu Ran lost a lot, but there will be fewer and fewer clansmen on their side, which is still not sure that the other party has no hole cards, if they kill another team, not more, even if there are only 100 people, the impact on morale is also huge.

And abandoning the clansmen who are fighting may have suffered heavy losses, but the time they delayed was enough for the returning clansmen to be fully prepared to meet the enemy. Fully prepared, coupled with the numerical advantage, it is definitely enough to turn the tables in one fell swoop.

It's just that those people ...... Ay...... The patriarch squatted on the ground in frustration, his eyes closed, tears glistening from the corners of his eyes, but he no longer spoke. No wonder she wants to get the command, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have agreed.

Seeing this, Li Xiuning nodded, although the current command is in his own hands, but if he is desperately blocked by this patriarch, many things will not be easy to do.

"High Priest, how many straw men do you still use to sacrifice and burn?" Li Xiuning continued to turn his head and ask.

Maybe there have been living sacrifices for a long time, but now they have changed to straw men with clothes and straw, but I don't know what it means to ask this.

"This ...... There are about 100 more. The High Priest didn't know the specifics, but he probably did.

Li Xiuning frowned, and said: "It's a little less, aren't there still a lot of old and young people in the rear, I don't care what method you use, what material you use, the fastest speed to tie the human shape, wear clothes, the more the better, the young ones stay, but all the old people who can move around normally, all go into the mountain, hide these straw men half-covered and half-exposed, the old people are all hidden, these people are divided into three batches, and a new wolf smoke floats out of the sky, so let a group of people immediately wave their flags and shout, but they can call a certain village to come to support Yunyun." In addition, you can stop thirty young people to ambush together, and then pretend to kill, can you do it. ”

"This ...... Be. The high priest hesitated, and wanted to ask, if the bandits did not care about the killing, what would be good for those old men? But in the end, he still took the order, and when Meishanzhai was alive and dead, he couldn't take care of a lot.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Shaoyu couldn't help but ask, so it is not uncommon to set up suspicious soldiers, but in the current situation, Zhou Shaoyu can't think of any effect.

"Remember when I told you, what is the war?" The corners of Li Xiuning's mouth raised, and he looked like he was quite enjoying the feeling of giving orders.

"Dignified?" Of course Zhou Shaoyu remembers, but there is no need to repeat it, just wait for Li Xiuning to solve his doubts.

"That's right, the war is fought with dignity, compared to the number of people, compared to the elite, and more than morale." Li Xiuning nodded and said. "The number of people, in fact, we have the advantage, but the other party is very good at picking the time, caught off guard, next, it depends on the Miao people in front, how long can we buy time, how many Miao people can return."

"Compared with the elite, the opposite side is all bandits, all of them are not weak, but the Miao people have lived in the mountains for generations, and they are born with a good physique, good at bows and arrows, and good at knives, which is also extraordinary, because they don't know too much, let's count it as a tie."

"Then in the end, it's more morale, it's true, in order to defend their homeland, the Miao people are not afraid of death, but it is undeniable that the enemy's morale is booming, but is it?"

"Yes, yes." Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, and also learned to answer in a rather old-fashioned way.

Li Xiuning nodded with a teachable expression, obviously very satisfied with Zhou Shaoyu's attitude, and then said: "The art of war is cloudy, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion." At this moment, the enemy's morale is high, and if you attack such an enemy head-on, even if you win, it will be a crushing victory. ”

"Suppose you lead 10,000 troops and the opponent has 20,000, and the number of people on both sides is not equal, but the ability of the soldiers is figured out, in the case of an encounter, can you win?"

That must not be ah, the soldiers are the same level of soldiers, but the number is less than half, it is still an encounter, how to fight, let alone an encounter, even if it is an ambush, I dare not guarantee that I can win 100%, in the case of the same quality of soldiers, the advantage of double the strength is already very exaggerated.

As for Xiang Yu's battle of Pengcheng, he defeated Liu Bang's army of 500,000 or 600,000 with an army of 30,000? It's exceptional, okay. First of all, Xiang Yu played a sneak attack around the back and caught him off guard.

In addition, in this battle, Xiang Yu used cavalry on a large scale, while Liu Bang's side was all foot soldiers, and against infantry, the advantage of cavalry was simply not too great.

Moreover, Liu Bang's side is a coalition army, and many of the soldiers are the troops of the so-called princes and kings who are not successful, and their combat effectiveness is pitiful. In the face of Xiang Yu's elite, or cavalry, it may collapse with a single charge.

In this way, Xiang Yu won more with less, and fought a victory that has been passed down through the ages. But if Liu Bang's soldiers are all cavalry, and they are all elites, then Xiang Yu is not to mention 30,000 elites, even if 30,000 Xiang Yu is estimated to be enough. On the other hand, if Xiang Yu is the 30,000 old and weak soldiers he leads, then this battle will not be fought.

It can only be said that in the ancient cold weapon war, to a certain extent, the numerical superiority was really important.

Li Xiuning raised the corners of his mouth again, and continued: "But if you have prepared in advance, with one thousand against twenty thousand, at the beginning of the battle, there will be a thousand troops to help, and the next moment, there will be another thousand in the other direction, and then another thousand, and another thousand!" Can this battle be won? ”

Hiss...... Zhou Shaoyu gasped, if this is the case, don't say it, it is really possible to win.

Just imagine, 20,000 to 1,000, no one will pay attention to it, even if there is another thousand, it doesn't matter, but this thousand and a thousand are endless, or they are killed from different directions, everyone will be stunned, God knows if there is anything behind?

Besides, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, in the fighting, who knows how many reinforcements the other side has come, only knows that the other party's reinforcements are coming one after another, and the specific number of people is not clear.

And once you run away and retreat, then a great rout ensues.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion? Zhou Shaoyu's eyes lit up, and while he felt that the art of war was powerful, he also sighed that Li Xiuning was a hero among real women.

The internet was cut off in the house, and he ran out specially, and he was also drunk
