Shu Chen

Chapter 493 Mystery
Taking advantage of his superiority in military strength, he wanted to show his humiliation, and was humiliated by Zheng Pu with a woman's clothes. No one can change Hu Zun's decision to lead his troops to fight the Han army in the field.

Naturally, Guanqiu Jian did not intend to persuade.

And in order to motivate the soldiers, he opened the wooden box Zheng Pu sent in front of everyone, and said indignantly, "He Baopu regards us as women! Husbands are born in this world, and they can be killed but not humiliated! Hu The general and I can't bear it, and we will fight to the death the next day, vowing to avenge this humiliation! All soldiers who dare to die, go to the right, and fight with General Hu with me the next day; Return with the scarred and uncut head! The emperor once said that whoever gets the scarred and uncut head will be named a marquis and worship general, rewarded with ten thousand gold, eaten by thousands of households, and Luoyang will be the first to be honored! Those who dare to die, encourage them together, and honor their wives!"

All the soldiers were silent for a while, and then they all spoke angrily.

"Fight to the death!"

"Death battle!!"

None left.

In other words, the military spirit is available!
In mid-spring in the Northwest, the dawn breaks especially late.

The sun rises slowly from the ridge, reflecting on the snow that is about to melt on the mountains, turning the originally dull gray sky into a fish-white, and then brewing a beautiful blue morning light, which smudges the mountains in the east And the grassland, the heavy dark blue sky is slowly withdrawing to the back little by little. When the silver-blue dawn gradually shows brown red, when the sun turns from reddish to a golden brilliance, it is the warmth that makes everything flourish. The meaning spreads between heaven and earth.

When it fell on the soldiers of Wei State, it ignited the burning heat in the chest and belly to fight to the death.

The soldiers of the Wei State who started cooking at the fifth watch had already lost their fatigue after eating, and filed out under the leadership of the generals of the various ministries.

Hu Zunzi supervised the [-] elites in front of him, and handed over the power of mediation to Guanqiu Jian.

It wasn't that he was overwhelmed by the great anger, but that he had a stroke of [-] steps, and only the headquarters he relied on to guard Gaoping City in the past was the most elite.

There is a saying in the art of war: "The three armies can win the spirit."

It also said: "When a husband fights, he works hard at one stroke, then declines again, and exhausts himself three times."

The two armies are fighting hand in hand, the most important thing is the spirit of the front!

Out of fear of Wei's failures over the years, he could only use his headquarters as a forerunner to inspire other soldiers to follow suit.

Otherwise, using other soldiers who are too few in battle as the vanguard, once they are defeated by the Shu soldiers and their morale is low, it may cause the entire army to stagnate and lose their fighting spirit.

In this regard, Guanqiu Jian did not shirk.

He felt that in the face of absolute superiority in military strength, if Hu Zunbu, who served as the vanguard, could fight to the death without retreating, there would really be no suspense in this battle.

While the soldiers were cooking, the scouts sent overnight returned.

Within a radius of thirty miles, there is no trace of the reinforcements against Shu!
This is the unanimous voice of more than thirty teams of scouts.

The people they met in this area, apart from the Xiliang iron cavalry scouts of the Shu army, were only scattered Qianghu herdsmen or Han family survivors who rode in groups of three or two.Unsurprisingly, these people were tribes or Han adherents living in Beidi County who were alarmed that both Han and Wei had entered the Nishui River Valley, so they took the risk to spy on them in order to ascertain whether their own tribe or village would be endangered.

Safe from war.

Even in the deployment of troops, Guanqiu Jian felt a little uneasy.

The two infantry of Nishu came in separate battalions, about five li apart from each other, which seemed to be a big taboo of military strategists, but in fact they had hidden secrets.

Geinwei's army will inevitably choose one place as the main attack.

For example, following the principle of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, Hu Zun now uses the camp where Scar Pu Dazhu is located as the decisive point of this battle.

In this way, the Wei army will also put most of its troops on Scaru's camp.

Regarding the camp on Jufu's side, the decision Hu Zun and Guan Qiujian discussed was to reserve [-] infantry for defense: if he does not leave the camp, he will not attack; if he comes to rescue Bapu, he will refuse , To buy time for the main force to take down the scars.

Just [-] pawns, can they really stop Jufubu?

In the past, King Ping and Jufu of Nishu used to go out from Xiaoguan Road to disturb the Wei army's food road. Xue Ti intercepted it with twice as many troops. As a result of the fierce battle between the two armies in the field, Xue Ti's troops were defeated
This was one of the reasons why Guan Qiujian felt uneasy.

He was worried that Ju Fu's time to attack his rear army would be faster than Hu Zun's time to attack Scaru's camp.

The result of the battle is that the Wei army was flanked back and forth and fell into a morale collapse.

Then, defeat.

Another level of worry is the duel between the cavalry of the two armies.

After the infantry arrived yesterday, Nishu Xiliang Iron Cavalry split into two groups, one continued to go north along the Nishui River Valley, and the other went around their camp to look southward at Yiju County.

Yes, the troops were at a disadvantage, and Scaru actually divided his troops again.

It also made Guan Qiujian really guess that he relied very arrogantly on dispatching in this battle-the Shu army is far more powerful than the Wei army.

Therefore, Wei Guo was forced to divide his troops and attack them.

At any time, the side with the superior force will be more favored by victory.

Those who are good at using soldiers will do everything possible to use terrain, tactics, etc. to force the opponent to divide their troops when they are few, and then concentrate their forces to "strike the few with the masses", accumulating small victories to form a big victory.

That's what Scarpu is today.

With the Wei state occupying the superiority in military strength, the continuous division of troops forced the Wei army to also divide its troops. With the advantage of the stronger combat power of the Shu soldiers, the original disparity between the enemy and ourselves was constantly weakened.

In other words, if the number of troops remains the same, no matter how the troops are divided, it will not be affected.

But that's not the case on the battlefield.

Gein is as solid as a rock, and it will be torn apart under the force of ten thousand tons; even if it is as hard as gold and iron, it will turn into juice under countless firewood.On the contrary, no matter how small the rock is, it is still a rock, and no matter how thin the gold and iron are, the essence remains the same; but if you disperse the power of ten thousand to a few minutes, it will not be able to break the rock.

The more powerful Shu soldiers are like a rock, while the Wei army is as powerful as this.

Stones can be divided, but strength cannot be divided.

Based on this, Scar Pu split up the mighty power of the Wei State, which had the superiority in military strength.

It is also the chance of winning that he seeks.

Gein, as long as the Shu army is divided, as long as one side wins, it can rush to support the other; and if two wins, it can sweep the entire army!
What is taking risks, what is self-defeating, what is extreme arrogance.
It was all premeditated by Scaru.

At this moment, Guanqiu Jian also suddenly remembered that when Ban Gu wrote "Han Shu", he still categorized the schools of military science.

One belongs to the "Soldier Situationist", and its tactical characteristics are "those who are in the situation, thunder and wind, come first, leave and return to the homeland, change constantly, and use light to control the enemy."

For example, Zhang Liao, the former general of the Wei Dynasty, was a good general who used this kind of tactics with great proficiency.

In the previous battles between the Han and Wei Dynasties, Bapu had always focused on planning before the battle, and rarely supervised the soldiers to charge into battle, so everyone in Wei State mistakenly thought that he was a "military strategist" rather than a "military strategist". ".
