Chapter 712 fierce battle(1/2)
Soon, Li Zhongyi, who was on the command car, keenly noticed that an abnormal mobilization occurred in the ranks of the coalition forces of various grassland units.
After some careful observation, Li Zhongyi touched his chin habitually and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the barbarians still have to hook after all!"
He Dabei bowed his hand and said very admirably: "Super Ling clearly saw Wanli, and he had already seen the thoughts of the barbarians. The last period = will be really admired."
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly. If he was a guy who often flattered him on weekdays, he would definitely not have any feelings.
However, He Dabei is a typical Northwest man with a straightforward temper and a strong temperament. He dared to slap the table and curse in front of Li Zhongyi for a combat plan with different opinions.
Perhaps because Li Zhongyi lacks civil servants who are highly valued, it is really difficult to find a person who is good at flattering in the Li family army.
Of course, Li Zhongyi’s moral requirements for his subordinates were actually not strict.
As the saying goes, "The wind knows the strong grass, and the slander knows the loyal ministers." Before the critical moment, without the test of major changes, who can easily distinguish between loyalty or traitor?
Li Zhongyi himself is an old bureaucrat who has been in the officialdom for a long time. He can see very clearly that whether the generals are loyal or not, they will be put aside for the time being. As long as they firmly obey military orders and have the ability to win battles, they will be rewarded according to their merits, without exception.
Po Chaoyong is the most distinctive example. The alien identity of this party, the man of Xiang, does not conform to Li Zhongyi's view of the Han nationality at all. However, as long as Po Chaoyong takes the lead and completes Li Zhongyi's military orders to the death, he will still be rewarded and promoted to make money and bring more troops.
The fundamental reason why Principal Chang Kaishen, who had millions of troops, was eventually driven to the island that was isolated overseas, was that in Li Zhongyi's view, was that he was not aware of people, rewards and punishments were unfair, and nepotism was nepotism.
Generals of the Huangpu Group, for example, Sun Yuanliang, who fled when he encountered a strong enemy without following the military order, should have been beheaded, Li Tianxia, who was sentenced to death because of personal grudges, and such unethical and incompetent people, have been repeatedly reused. How can they not be so cold that the true soldier who fought bloody battles?
In addition to the strong support of the Cao family and Xia Hou families, Cao Mengde was also closely related to Cao Aman's employment and talent but still valued it with talent but no loyalty.
Taking Li Zhongyi's two-life experience as a human being, he always believed that people's hearts are fickle and absolute loyalty are actually the most luxurious luxury in any society. It is better to have anything, and there is no need to force it. As long as you make good checks and balances of power, and clearly distinguish rewards and punishments, so that one party can defecate alone!
Yang Wushuang stared at He Dabei's face with some surprise. Lao He, who has always been upright, what's wrong with today?
After all, Zhu Niang was close to her. She noticed that the corners of Li Zhongyi's mouth were slightly raised, and she understood in her heart that her husband was very comfortable being slapped by He Dabei's flattery.
After Li Zhongyi felt relieved, he suddenly restrained his smile and asked He Dabei with some slightest meaning: "Tell me, who has made a mistake in the Senate Department?"
He Dabei touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "Just just now, someone actually bet on his wife who had never crossed the door because of the opposite opinion."
After hearing this, Li Zhongyi felt that it was ridiculous and terrifying. This was a difficult problem!
No matter how strict the military regulations are, there are bound to be omitted. For example, there are no regulations on the regulations when something happens in front of you.
Unless Li Zhongyi is so idle, it is impossible to include such private matters in the scope of military regulations.
However, if Li Zhongyi does not intervene in dealing with such a very sad incident, it will definitely cause serious consequences of personal grievances and ruining official duties. Li Tianxia is a clear example of this.
"Youting, what do you think about this matter?" Li Zhongyi wanted to see He Dabei's opinion before expressing his opinion.
"When Lingshuai, if the bet is their respective concubines, there should be no problem." He Dabei's answer made Li Zhongyi feel like he was suddenly a different life.
A wife cannot be used as a bet, but a concubine can do it. This is completely in line with the rules of the Great Zhou court.
Zhou Chengtang system, the "Tang Law Commentary" has a clear provision: concubines are engaged in transactions. That is to say, the status of concubines is equivalent to the goods handed by merchants and can be disposed of by the owner.
Due to the constraints of the concept of the times and the fact that Li Zhongyi himself was lustful, there was no regulation in the doctrine that he did not allow concubines to be taken.
However, if the subordinates were allowed to bet on each other's women, Li Zhongyi, who had extremely conservative thoughts in this regard, would not be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart no matter what.
"Zhonghe, what do you think?" Li Zhongyi calmly turned his eyes to Yang Wushuang's face, wanting to see this guy who is like an iceberg, what is his high opinion of this matter?
"The general of the countryside will think that in addition to obeying orders, soldiers must also be honest and have a nail. Since they dare to place heavy bets to bet, they will have to bear the corresponding consequences. Moreover, there is no prohibition in the order, so there is no need to intervene. This is the so-called reward and punishment!" Yang Wushuang's attitude was beyond Li Zhongyi's expectations.
Damn, judging from this kid's attitude, he actually had no objection to his wife's exchange.
Li Zhongyi thought about it carefully, and then suddenly realized that it was not that He Dabei and Yang Wushuang had abnormal ideas, but that Li Zhongyi's modern ideas were too advanced and did not conform to the mainstream customs of society.
In this era, some gamblers are so angry that they mortgage their big or small wives to their creditors. It is simply common and not surprising!
"Well, I think this is how it is. Betting on a wife's house is too harmful to good deeds. It's better to bet on a year's salary. The winner treats the guests and the loser accompanys the guests to drink!" Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, but in the end he couldn't stand the bad habit of gambling with his wife, so he took the initiative to intervene.
Since Li Zhongyi had spoken, He Dabei and Yang Wushuang, who were familiar with his temper, had to obey the orders.
The little episode here has just been dealt with, and the soldiers and horses of various tribes in the grassland began to be frequently mobilized according to the prior agreement between the king and the clan leader.
He Dabei carefully observed the mobilization of the grassland tribe army with a telescope, shook his head and sighed: "The mobilization speed is too slow, and the line between each other is also extremely loose. If our army was so slow, the officer in charge of command would have been beaten long ago."
Yang Wushuang said coldly: "If large-scale legion combat is not effectively commanded and dispatched, it will definitely miss the opportunity for combat. What's more, our army can do it as much as the arm-to-finger as the beginning. The first item of the training regulations is to sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime."
Li Zhongyi glanced at Yang Wushuang. This guy who said very little suddenly turned into a chatterbox today, which made him really difficult for him to adapt for a while.
Zhu Niang stared at Yang Wushuang's face. This guy who doesn't say anything but hums on weekdays secretly flattered him, and his level was more than he could be better than He Dabei.
Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that if Yang Wushuang had not been highly recognized, there would be no possibility of flattering him.
It was not until half an hour later that the grassland cavalry gathered the 20,000 soldiers and horses they needed. Under the command of their respective leaders, they shouted and rushed towards the hillside where Pochaoyang was stationed.
Li Zhongyi had been waiting for this moment. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "If you don't go the right path, you will just go to the evil path. Humph, you're about to die!"
He Dabei and Yang Wushuang both knew Li Zhongyi's thoughts very well. If it weren't for the fact that there was a keen eye for Yelu Xiu, Li Zhongyi wouldn't have tried his best to make traps for the squawks of the grassland princes in front of him.
In the camp on the hillside, Li Yong (Pu Chaoyong) was waiting anxiously when he suddenly heard the sound of killing around the camp, and the shouts were deafening.
"Haha, God has given me military merits!" Li Yong rubbed his hands happily, screaming strangely.
The squat Qian Shude, who was sitting aside reading quietly, put down the book in his hand, stretched his waist, and smiled and said, "Old Li, you finally have hope for it."
Li Yong smiled and said, "Just now, aren't you like me, like the one on a hot pot?"
He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. This was a witty remark that Li Zhongyi said when he was teaching in person. Li Yong immediately remembered it and often quoted it in front of his subordinates.
"Come here, pass on my military orders. According to the previous deployment of the lord, everyone will take their place and prepare to serve a delicious meal for the prairie barbarians." Li Yong stomped his feet hard. The significance of this battle is very important. He must do his best to complete the tactical tasks ordered by Li Zhongyi.
"Old Qian, we should be in place, right?" Li Yong turned around and turned his head to look at Qian Shude.
Qian Shude nodded and handed the book in his hand to the Ya Bing whom he was with him. Maibu and Li Yong walked out of the big tent that originally belonged to the Senate.
After Li Yong and Qian Shude boarded the command chariot together, they realized that the grassland cavalry all over the mountains were rushing towards their camp like a tide.
"You go and tell Li Shijiu of the Guards that he will be in command of his defense. If the bandits rush into the camp, even if I let him go, the lord will definitely not be able to avoid him." Li Yong was very self-aware. His cavalry battalion may be a good player in charge, but he is not good at positional warfare that defends defense.
It turned out that before Li Zhongyi left the hillside, he deliberately left most of the guards, and asked them to exchange flags with the cavalry battalion, disguised as cavalry, and stayed in the camp.
After this change, the guards beside Li Zhongyi were actually the officers and soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion. In order to disguise it more, the officers and soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion were covered with loess on their faces.
Before Li Zhongyi took the initiative, he had already expected that the patriarchs of the grassland would go to the logistics camp to make the idea, so he made preparations in advance to allow the infantry, who were good at defense to stay in the camp, strengthening the fortifications while waiting for the enemy's attack.
In fact, after Li Zhongyi eliminated 40,000 Khitan Palace divisions, the Senate Department had already made a summary that in the face of pure cavalry attacks, the Li family army's defensive front actually did not need to be too thick.
With the powerful killer weapon like the Divine Arm Crossbow, according to the requirements of comprehensive defense and three-dimensional strike fronts, at most one-third of the shield hands, one-third of the crossbow hands, and one-third of the spearmen and stone casters are enough to withstand the siege of several times the more cavalry sieges.
Based on the full calculations of the Senate Department, including He Dabei and Yang Wushuang, they all believe that if the main offensive troops do not have the cooperation of the cavalry, even if they win quickly, it will be difficult to expand the results of the battle, and thus fall into an embarrassing situation where they can beat but cannot catch up.
Just now, when facing the attack and temptation of the tribes in the grassland, Li Zhongyi kept asking the cavalry to dismount and rest, and was not allowed to reveal his whereabouts.
Li Zhongyi had only one purpose for doing this, that is, to paralyze Lao Guning, making him mistakenly think that Li Zhongyi had no mobile cavalry in his hands.
Li Shijiu has actually changed his name to Li Yunqing, whose courtesy name is Youde, and is the name and preface given by Li Zhongyi.
Li Yunqing is currently the deputy commander-in-chief of the Guards' Military Procuratorate. His main responsibility is to assist Li Yunxiao and be fully responsible for the daily training of the Guards.
Since it is the army that protects Li Zhongyi's army in person, the personnel structure of the Guards is very different from that of ordinary field troops.
In the Guards, in addition to Li Yunxiao, there were three deputy commanders. These three men did not directly lead an army, but were responsible for training and combat, mapping and logistics support according to different divisions of labor.
If there was a soldier from a republic, he would definitely point out deeply that the command system of the Guards was generally in the category of plagiarism.
Plagiarism is not plagiarized and put it aside. In the eyes of the super realistic pragmatist, Li Zhongyi, a system that helps improve combat literacy is a good system, and vice versa, a bad system, and that's all.
Since the camp had complete defensive fortifications, Li Yunqing calmly ordered the crossbowman and the shieldman to take his place.
After the conventional strike force was ready, Li Yunqing ordered people to carry the "cocktail" box prepared in advance from the Xiche, which had extremely strict defense, to the next to the catapult car.
"Brothers, you have practiced it just now. Because you have the advantage of being condescending, the maximum throwing distance of the trencher is more than half farther than during daily training. Therefore, everyone must remember the new coordinate scale." Li Yunqing has always been responsible for training and combat work in the Guards. He can call out the name of every grassroots officer in the battalion, and his prestige is naturally not very high.
After the shield, crossbowman and stone caster were all ready, Li Yunqing quickly walked behind the door flag in the front row.
Taking advantage of the gap that the Grassland Tribe Army had not focused on them just now, Li Yunqing led his subordinates to use sacks behind the door flag and build another earthen wall.
When Li Zhongyi gave a lecture in person, he once told his subordinates a real war case: the Israelites defeated the tank troops of the Arab coalition with just a wall that was not particularly high.
Of course, the tank in the case was changed to a heavy armored cavalry by Li Zhongyi.
Li Yunqing thought it was very new at the time. Now, he was defensive to defend against the impact of the cavalry. As soon as he moved, he immediately used what he learned to today's actual combat.
Behind the chest wall, Li Yunqing arranged a low-short-rejected rifle array that has been verified by many battles and is very effective in fighting against cavalry.
Behind the gun array is the divine arm crossbow formation with wide arms and round waists, followed by the catapult position, and the cavalrymen who are finally based on the inner layer are Li Yong's cavalry who are preparing to be the chief reserve team.
After strict training, the soldiers were like an atomic clock that was extremely accurate when they walked. They had prepared all the battles. After less than half a quarter of an hour of rest, the cavalry of the Grassland Tribe Army rushed over with a roar.
"Kill me, chop off the Nanman..."
"Yo hoho..."
"Nanbanmen, grandpa is here..."
Li Yunqing kept holding the monocular lens, but he strangely discovered that although the cavalry of the grassland coalition forces shouted and killed the sky, their charge was not fast.
What the hell is this? Li Yunqing stared at the tribe army in confusion. The cavalry has always been a group of troops that win at speed. With such a slow impact speed, let alone the horse-rejecting rifle formation, even the chest wall may block the tribe army outside the camp.
The leader of Shiwei clan Feng Xiong, waving the steel knife in his hand, shouted to kill him, while slowly closing the reins of the horse and shouting to the warriors of his clan: "The Southern Barbarians' crossbows are powerful, don't rush too fast, leave the credit to the Xi people."
Almost at the same time, the leader of the Yuwen tribe in the eastern Xianbei also loudly warned the warriors around him, "We have few people in our tribe, so don't be cannon fodder for the Xi people."
At this time, Li Zhongyi in the command car had already discovered the problem. Compared with Li Yunqing, who was not very politically sensitive, he, Li, was a super veteran politician.
Li Zhongyi saw it very clearly. The tribe army rushing to the front was almost all the military flags of small tribes, and the military flags of large tribes were all behind the small tribes without exception.
