Chapter 703: Shu Dao Soldiers (23)
The book continued, Chu Xunyu offered advice to Yuan Feng and proposed a very risky initiative strategy, to be honest, Chu Xunyu did not talk about Sun Mengxuan in the art of war The height is compared, he can't even count half a general, Chu Xunyu didn't read military books at all since he was a child, and even when he first joined Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, he didn't even know how to tie up the camp, and he couldn't tell the difference between the steel knife used by Jianghu guests and the weapons used in the army, so after the war, he only served as Zuo Shilang in the military department, and he was a civilian official in the army, mainly because of his old qualifications. After all, he was a child from the Yaowang Mansion at that time, barely half of the literati, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't plan to arrange him to serve in the army at all, let alone worship the generals and marquis, this has nothing to do with him at all, he doesn't know how to command the war at all, and later he was able to command some small units completely from the "memories" left by years of war , learned from other excellent generals, in essence, he did not have a high level of military talent, including his later assistance in Sun Mengxuan's command of the team in Death Valley.
But in those years, he has been in the army, although he was very unhappy with Sun Mengxuan, and repeatedly resisted her strategic policies that damaged people's lives too much, but unconsciously she already had her strategic thinking of using soldiers in her brain, but in the depths of his consciousness he has been resisting, but now it is different, he and Sun Mengxuan have feelings, and they are no longer so resistant, and they have begun to learn to think strategically and tactically in the face of this kind of military problems, maybe Chu Xunyu himself has not found out, and now he has some shadow of Sun Mengxuan in his body when he uses troops, from a strategic point of view to measure the gains and losses, from a tactical point of view to consider how to fight for victory, As for looking at life from the perspective of a doctor, I'm afraid it is not so important in Chu Xunyu's heart.
These "true biography" of Sun Mengxuan made Chu Xun's corpus the first, and his judgment was very accurate, robbing the source of the sect claimed to be a smart person, and this time he was all caught by Chu Xun's corpus without falling at all, which really gave Chu Xunyu enough face. At this moment, they relaxed when they faced Yuan Yang and his people rushing from the front for the third time, because they felt that they judged that the Shushan people were still using suspicious soldiers to do the strategy of "hit and run", so not only did they not panic earlier, but also sent dozens of disciples to symbolically resist it, Boguang, Wu Xian and Luo Xiu, who came later, still gathered together in the back to arrange the offensive deployment launched by his disciples in the morning, and they didn't expect the Shushan people to really come.
Fighting on the Shu Road is not the same as on the plains, this is like doing a dojo in a screw shell, neither can it be bigger, but it can't be done, although these plank roads under the feet are protected by formations, but they are very weak in the eyes of the great supernatural powers, if Boguang and Yuan Yang The six great supernatural powers who participated in the war go all out, it doesn't take an hour to destroy this plank road, and then they have to return to the "air" On this old topic, it is really unwise, so the two sides are engaged in a battle with unlimited loss of life in an environment with limited space and limited means.
This battle was killed from noon to night, after the fact this section of Shu Road was called "Blood Ridge" by later generations, because the entire plank road was stained red with blood, there were a total of eleven charges before and after the two sides, all the great supernatural powers all participated in the battle, the battle was the most fierce when the strong man of the light distraction period died more than ninety, and there were countless other disciples, in the valley, on the plank road, The cracks in the stones were all piled with corpses, more than six hundred, and it was not until dawn the next day that the remaining ten disciples in Shushan were ignorant enough to find out that they had won, because the wind spirit whistle was still in their hands.
Many years later, someone asked Yuan Yi why the Robbery Source Gate, which was stronger than Shushan in overall strength, failed to successfully capture the important pass of the Wind Spirit Whistle? Yuan Yi replied calmly: "Because they can only step on the corpse of the Shushan disciple to advance. ”
There are very few survivors of this battle, and all of them are seriously injured, Yuan Yi was broken three fingers on the Shushan side, and his internal organs were injured; Yuan Lu's entire lung was pierced, and his right calf was also disabled; Yuan Yang was the most brave, but the price was also the heaviest, Zhou had more than 30 vital wounds on his body, and he was blind in one eye, and it was completely by his innate perseverance that he barely managed to hold on to a breath of vitality. Bo Guang lost an arm on the other side of the source gate, Wu Xian was disemboweled, and he retreated with his intestines in his hands, and Luo Xiu directly burned half of his body by Yuan Lu, so they had no choice but to take the only two seriously injured disciples to abandon the Yuling Whistle and retreat to the old camp thirty miles away.
In addition to the three "Yuan" elders on the Shushan side, only five people survived in the end, among which there was actually a disciple of the Yuan infancy, that is, Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Yan's cultivation was insignificant in this level of competition, but she miraculously survived, and only suffered a little insignificant minor injury, and finally she ventured down the mountain to reconnoitre, and then it was determined that the Feather Spirit Whistle was empty, and it was completely abandoned by the source gate.
But is there really a miracle? No, there will be no such miracle at all, Gongsun Yan knows very well in her heart, in yesterday's battle, she was arranged in the back, because her cultivation is not high, so she has been arranged in the last reserve team, following Yuan Yi to the end, especially when the night comes, the two sides kill at all, and they can't hear anything except shouts and fights, and the Yuan Yi order she got is very simple and clear, that is: "Attack in all directions, kill anyone who is not Shushan" In this kind of tragic hand-to-hand combat, can she survive so easily? There is only one answer, that is, she was rescued. Gongsun Yan himself clearly remembered that there seemed to be a young man in white who had been wandering around him in the night, he was neither a Shushan person nor a person from the source gate, Gongsun Yan didn't know this person at all, at first he thought it was an enemy, but found that he had taken action to protect himself several times, and Gongsun Yan was very confused in the crowd, until the end of the battle, Gongsun Yan also specially looked for this person, but found nothing, she even wondered if she was too mentally stressed and hallucinated, how could she appear out of thin air A great supernatural person she didn't know protected herself for no reason, and afterwards, he went to Chu Xunyu to ask him to check his body to make sure that he was not crazy.
This battle ended in a tragic victory in Shushan, as Chu Xunyu expected, it will have a very far-reaching impact on the whole situation, the source gate did not expect that the people of Shushan would take the initiative to attack in a completely unfavorable situation, the defeat of the three of Boguang caused the overall plan of the source gate to be modified as a last resort, because they could not tell how many people and horses in Shushan were still on Dushan and whether the strength was so bad as expected, during this period Ge Tianming rarely lost his temper, he sent more than a hundred people to consolidate the defense of Boguang's camp where they were, and repeatedly ordered not to retreat, at most replace the elders, let Boguang and them come back to recuperateAt that time, this made many of his own people wonder, you must know that this time, counting those foreign aids, there were less than 900 or 1,000 people in total, and the death of the three hundred elite disciples can be said to have almost reduced the power of the source gate by more than 30%, at this time, in order to complete the backup plan of the "path", it is completely possible for Boguang to abandon the "chicken ribs" camp on the front and come back to rest, so as not to attrition in battle, so as to preserve their strength.
However, as later generations pointed out, Ge Tianming was right to stop the retreat, if Boguang and they were allowed to withdraw, then Shushan would use its familiar geographical environment to chase and fight all the way over, until it discovered and destroyed the "path" plan of the source gate, and only by consolidating the "chicken rib" camp thirty miles away from Dushan could it bring a threat to Shushan, so that the people of Shushan could not figure out the reality of the source gate, and did not dare to attack.
Although the Shushan side reaped this victory that was almost not a victory, but let the whole faction be uplifted, this was a hard-fought battle, the strength of the source gate higher than their own was defeated in the battle with almost the same number of people, and suddenly the self-confidence of all the Shushan disciples returned, but this self-confidence seems to have played a bit of a counterproductive role, there are many disciples who feel that through this battle, after the source gate was beaten away, it can be seen that the source gate, which has always been known for its wisdom, is not too difficult to deal with, is the war can end in advance.
But Yuan Feng and their leaders are in a very heavy mood, because the price paid is too heavy, from the overall strategic point of view can be said to be extremely successful, as Chu Xunyu said, now the situation of the war has become a division of courts, no longer blindly beaten, both sides are clear about the details of the other party's fighting, it is impossible to appear in the original one-sided situation, but from the overall reserve situation, Shushan looks weak and tired. Just when the Fengling Whistle started the battle, the Shushan side was ready for defeat, they gave up the three posts of "Tianling", "Hailing" and "Changling" that needed to be guarded by troops, but hoarded all the remaining people in the "Heavenly Whistle", where a road situation was formed, which was easy to defend, once Yuan Yi and they were defeated, it was the best choice to stick to the important place at the throat of the Sealing Dust Pavilion, but they didn't expect them to win, but what should I do if I left? After careful speculation, Chu Xunyu thought that at least one more large-scale bloody battle like this would be needed to see the final victory or defeat, but could these few remaining people in Shushan who were not strong be able to survive?
The overall situation has changed a little now, Shushan captured the disciples of the source gate as prisoners for the first time, although they were two seriously injured and unconscious disciples, but they still got an unexpected gain after Chu Xunyu woke them up, that is, the whereabouts of Yuan Hai. It is said that Yuan Hai led a hundred disciples to guard the East Mountain, when the attack, Yuan Hai did not know why he took the initiative to give up the East Mountain, and fled under the cover of night with almost complete disciples, relying on his own familiar geographical environment The advantage of not knowing where to hide in the surrounding mountains and forests, the source of the robbery has also been searched for many times without success, this news made Yuan Feng They were very surprised and very happy, at least it proved that Yuan Hai and they were still alive, and at this time Chu Xunyu was already thinking about how to contact Yuan Hai and let this "strange soldier." "Play the final turnaround role in the next fierce battle to come......
