Chapter 129 Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha
.As the saying goes, if a general is incompetent, the three armies are affected. This is indeed the case in the era of cold weapons. These soldiers on the ancient battlefield have no military qualities. Suddenly, fires fill the sky, and enemy soldiers come to rob the camp. Although only three thousand cavalry come to rob the camp, how can ordinary soldiers know? They don’t think it’s a divine weapon that comes from the sky, and they only know how to escape in a hurry?
At this time, it depends on the role of a general.
For example, in the Battle of Feishui, Fu Qin and the Eastern Jin Dynasty set up a formation across the river. Fu Jian had nearly one million troops, but because of a slightly retreating order, thousands of vanguards rushed across the river. How did those soldiers know why they retreated? When the rear army saw the front army retreating, they might think that the front had suffered a defeat and then ran away. But when the front army suddenly saw the rear army disintegrating, they didn't know what happened. At this time, someone shouted "The Qin army was defeated," as a result, the battle that was bound to win became a farce of racing.
It also left a joke about "there are all soldiers on Bagong Mountain".
This is the case now that Santong leads three thousand cavalry into the Hu people formation. He uses the power of fire to rush left and right to kill. Even if the opponent has 300,000 troops, he will be in a state of no one for a moment.
If a general does not have cohesion, in this case, even if the army of 300,000 was robbed by 3,000 people, he would be defeated and suffered heavy losses in chaos.
After all, Yao Shuode has led his troops for many years and is experienced. He quickly responded in a panic.
At this time, the fire had already started, and the army was in chaos. It would be difficult to gather it in a hurry. However, Yao Shuode had a solution. For the sake of the present, he could only use both kindness and power.
"Transfer our military orders. All soldiers and generals, those with horses, who have horses will be on the horse and line up the formation, those who do not have horses will be curbed on the spot. Those who dare to yell and walk around will be killed!"
"I will pass on our military orders again. Even if the soldiers of the three armies are burned, they should not be allowed to go around. After fighting this battle, the living will be exempted from their relatives for three years of taxes and service, and those who die in the front of the formation will be exempted from their relatives for seven years of taxes and service!"
Taxation refers to tax and labor. There is no need to mention taxation. During the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms period, the north was in chaos and there were many regimes, but no matter which regime, the tax was heavy. Moreover, these regimes attacked each other, and the people's labor was not light. Now Yao Shuode ordered that those who left randomly should be killed. If he obeyed the general, even if he died, his family would be exempted from tax and labor for seven years.
If you want to calm the ordinary soldiers in the fire, persuasion is useless, and there is no time to do ideological work? If the subordinate officers pass the orders, they must first establish their authority to shock the army's panic, so Yao Shuode issued the order first.
Those who dare to leave randomly will be killed!
This sentence alone has had many effects. It took me a long time to get panic in the army to control the panic in the army.
After all, Santong only has three thousand cavalry. If there are more cavalry, there are more cavalry, and there are more than 300,000 cavalry like the Hu people. Even if there are only 300,000 cavalry, these Hu people will not think of consolidating their troops tonight.
Zhao Qian saw the fire in the distance reaching the maximum and gradually became suppressed, and quickly shouted: "Stop beating the drum."
This was Zhang Chi's plan. Santong was in the enemy camp and did not know that the Hu people were dispatched, so she was easily trapped in the enemy camp. These three thousand cavalry were Zhang Chi's treasures. If they did not have the mobility of these three thousand cavalry, many times simple infantry would not be able to perform their plans. Of course, they should be well protected and not easily damaged.
With a breath of drums, Santong quickly ordered all the cavalry to turn their horses and retreat toward the back.
At this time, Yao Shuode had basically completed the army. Although the fire was gradually curbed, what he wanted to do was not to put out the fire, but to conquer the morale of the army. Now the morale of the army is gradually gathering and a legitimate battle is coming.
Although he didn't know how many people came to the camp to rob the camp this time, they might have fired so much. There must be a large number of people. There should be a main force of the enemy. In addition, he had to do so, but he would have been in a timely manner this time, otherwise he would inevitably be defeated. The enemy camp did not successfully disperse his army. It was when morale was low, and one rose and the other was declining, so he certainly would not miss this opportunity.
"Chasing!" Yao Shuode took the lead.
For generals, they need to convey military orders. For example, when retreating, the general must first issue the generals to make the soldiers understand where to go and avoid making mistakes in chaos. However, when charging, it is enough to be the general first.
The three armies are all staring at the commander. If the commander runs away without making any arrangements, the three armies will inevitably be in a panic. If the commander charges, the generals at all levels will command the soldiers and generals to rush forward, so it is much easier to command the charge.
The thirty-six strategies say that "walk is the best strategy", but in fact, it does not mean that you run away without fighting when encountering an enemy, nor does it mean that "rushing is the best strategy", but because retreat has more knowledge than charging.
At this time, the army had been initially rectified and Yao Shuode took the lead, and the three armies rushed forward.
Santong fled all the way to the valley, and the three thousand cavalry were far away, and they could not tell the number of people in the dark night. Yao Shuode led the army and then pursued them.
When he ran to the entrance of the valley, Yao Shuode suddenly stopped his horse.
He has led his troops for many years, and of course he knows that there are easy ambushings in the valley and should not advance lightly.
Santong's mission is to lure the enemy to come after the camp, and Zhang Chi and others responded in the valley. Now they see the other party following him and are about to enter the valley. When they are happy, they suddenly see the other party stop. This has not completed the task, Santong said in his heart.
Santong was quick to learn, rode her horse back and ran back, and shouted wildly to the Hu people through an arrow, "Hu people, why don't you dare to come and chase me? I have an ambush in the valley. If you dare to come, I will let you die without life!"
Yao Shuode had not spoken yet, and a general beside him asked to order: "General, please let the last general lead the team into the valley first."
"Aren't you afraid that there is really an ambush in the valley?" Yao Shuode smiled slightly.
The general replied: "There is a saying in the military strategy. If the real one is weak, it will be weak. If the weak one is solid, it will be true. The Southern people must be the same. The last general predicted that there were no ambushes in the valley, but he was worried that our army would pursue him and deliberately said that there was an ambush in the valley. Isn't it because of guilt?"
If this general led his troops, he might have been tricked by Santong. But Yao Shuode was indeed extraordinary.
"I was a bit contemptuous to the Southern people, especially their commander, the scholar named Zhang Chi, at first, but now I can't take it easy. He is worthy of defeating the famous Northern Army." Yao Shuode pondered and said: "They are so cunning, I think they must have seen us hesitate at the entrance of the valley, for fear that our army would not enter the valley, so they came to lure the enemy."
Yao Shuode took his horse to look around, looked at the mountains on both sides, and smiled and said, "The mountains on both sides are steep. If there are suspicious soldiers, they will inevitably be on the mountains on both sides of the valley. If there are ambushers on the mountains, our army will rush down from the mountain as soon as it enters the valley, and cuts off the valley entrance, so that our army cannot take care of each other."
After Yao Shuode finished speaking, the generals around him also looked around and looked at the terrain. The mountains were indeed as Yao Shuode said: "General is indeed awesome. How should our army deal with it?"
"Immediately send someone to explore the mountains on both sides first. If there are no ambush, we will enter the valley to pursue them with peace of mind. If there are ambush, we will block the entrance of the valley and eliminate the ambush on the mountain first."
Of course, Zhang Chi did not deliberately set up any ambush on the mountains on both sides, but General Fang did lead his 50,000 Yizhou troops and was watching the fun on the top of the mountain.
General Fang did not sleep. Zhang Chi wanted to fight against the Hu people at night, but he still had to watch the fun. He was looking around on the top of the mountain with a group of Yizhou generals, intending to watch the fun.
He didn't believe that Zhang Chi could defeat the 300,000-40,000 troops of the Hu people. Seeing that the Hu people were about to chase into the valley from a distance, General Fang was still wondering if they would really start a war later. When the battle was almost done, he should lead his troops to retreat first, so as not to harm him after the Hu people's cavalry flattened Zhang Chi.
When he was still thinking very well, a general from Yizhou suddenly rolled over and crawled over and shouted loudly, "It's not good, the big thing is wrong, the Hu army is coming up the mountain."
General Fang suddenly heard this and was a little unbelievable: "What are we doing if the Hu army doesn't go to attack those people in the valley? We didn't mess with him."
"General Fang, the Hu people are really coming up the mountain." The general who reported the news said in a crying voice.
General Fang responded for a while and then jumped up quickly: "Why are you still waiting to die? Why don't you run away?"
"Run... I can't run anymore," the general reported to the news and said with a sad face: "The Hu army has already blocked the way down the mountain from all sides, and the army has immediately attacked the top of the mountain."
"Do you... take it seriously?" General Fang really began to be scared.
…
…
At this time, Zhang Chi in the valley stood in front of the formation and looked into the distance, turning back to Ding Yizhi: "I said cousin, do you think this plan is a bit damaged?"
To be honest, Ding Yizhi was not very clear about what "loss" means, but he could also get some points based on the context and smiled and said, "Brother, those who do great things are not restricted, and the generals in Yizhou should indeed kill them."
"Oh," Zhang Chi sighed: "Those generals deserve to die, but ordinary soldiers know what they just act according to the orders, but I have caused them to suffer from the knife."
"When there is war, there must be sacrifices." Although Zhang Chi couldn't bear it, Ding Yizhi didn't feel anything wrong: "If your brother is willing to pity people in troubled times, what he should do most is to pacify the world, unify the world, and make no war in the world. This is the blessing of the people of the world. If you want to do this, countless people must sacrifice."
"One general succeeds and thousands of bones are undone." Zhang Chi sighed.
It can be seen that this cousin really looks down on him and wants to let him unify the world. In fact, since he traveled through time, Zhang Chi has not had any ambitions, but he has been pushed to the position of "Shiji". Should he really be called the savior of this troubled times? Zhang Chi shook his head.
"As long as the elder brother can expel the Five Barbarians and pacify the world's wars for hundreds of years since the end of the Han Dynasty, the people of the world are very lucky! Not to mention the undrunks of bones, even if there are many, it is worth it."
"I am just a scholar, what kind of virtue can I do?" Zhang Chi actually didn't want others to have too high expectations for him.
"Brother, don't belittle yourself. How many people are there in the whole world who can use this chain of plans today? Even Yizhi feels inferior to him." Ding Yizhi sincerely praised.
