The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 342 The Battle of Feishui
Che Bibi, Ma Xiaoxiao, pedestrian bows and arrows each at his waist.

The grandfather and wife walked to see each other, but the dust did not see Xianyang Bridge.

Qianyi stopped his feet and cried, and the cry went straight to the sky.

Believe that knows to give birth to men is evil, but it is better to have a daughter.

If you give birth to a daughter, you have to marry Proxima, and if you give birth to a boy, you must bury it with Baicao.

You don’t see, Qinghai head, no bones have been collected since ancient times.

The new ghosts bother the old ghosts and cry, the sky is overcast and rainy and wet and tweeting!
——Excerpt from "Song of Soldiers and Chariots" by Du Fu

……

After breakfast that day, the jailer retired, and it was time to study the art of war with General Zhongsi.With piercing eyes, Bai Fu sat upright, looking forward to a new day of training.

Wang Zhongsi said: "Fu'er, you have studied the art of war for many days, but what do you not understand?"

Bai Fu nodded, and said: "I learned about 'strike at halfway' yesterday, and I'm a little unclear. I'd like to ask the general for advice."

Wang Zhongsi nodded.

Bai Fudao: ""Sun Tzu Marching Army" says: "The guests come without the water, don't welcome them in the water, let them attack with half the money, benefit."

In the Battle of Hongshui, Song Xianggong was unwilling to take advantage of the danger when the Chu army was halfway across, and missed a good opportunity.

In the Battle of Weishui, Han Xin blocked the water with sandbags and led the army to attack halfway. Enemy against death.

It can be seen from a large number of battle cases that "strike halfway" is the best time to attack the enemy.

In the Battle of Feishui, the former Qin army threw whips to cut off the flow, and its troops were far superior to the Beifu soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.As soon as the battle started, Xie Xuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty took the lead in crossing the water. Why did the former Qin army lose this battle under the excellent situation of half-crossing and attacking? "

Wang Zhongsi smiled and said: "You can think of this, which shows that you have worked hard last night. The former Qin Fujian made many strategic mistakes after the death of his adviser Wang Meng. The core point is that after the internal tribes did not fully surrender and the integration was completed, Relying on a large number of troops and generals, they rashly went south to invade the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Once the war was defeated, the former Qin Dynasty would immediately fall apart and be unable to recover.

Leaving aside the strategy, as far as the Battle of Feishui itself is concerned, Fu Jian lost in the contest with Xie Xuan.

In order to impress you, today we will visit the battlefield in person and watch the battle up close. "

"Come to the battlefield in person?" Bai Fu was both surprised and confused.

Wang Zhongsi smiled slightly, sat cross-legged on the floor, squeezed the military seal, and said: "Fu'er, follow my method to guide the inner breath and enter the state of meditation. I will take you to break the void and take a trip to the secret realm of Bingyu .”

Bai Fu was overjoyed, he followed the law, guided by the fetal breath, and soon entered the state of meditation.

In a trance, Bai Fuyuan God fell through the clouds and fell into the army of the former Qin Dynasty.

……

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With the sound of war drums, the [-] troops of Beifu on the opposite bank galloped down Bagong Mountain and formed formations on the beach.

The [-] iron cavalry were divided into four teams, with [-] light cavalry advancing forward, [-] cavalry each on the left and right flanks, [-] heavy armored cavalry in the middle, and the remaining infantry forming three large formations, trailing behind the cavalry.

In the front line are five thousand heavy armored infantry, armed with spears and shields, protecting the crossbowmen behind them.There are [-] crossbowmen in the middle formation, with strong bows and crossbows, and they can attack from a long distance, and they are extremely lethal.Thirty-five thousand infantry in the rear, armed with swords and light armor, went into battle.

The sound of Hujiao sounded one after another, and Fu Jian's army came out in full force, gathering on the west bank of Feishui.

In the former Qin Dynasty, there were [-] cavalry troops and [-] infantry soldiers. The soldiers were fierce and powerful, and the flags covered the sky and the sun. They lined up a hundred steps away from Feishui.There are many guns and shields, strong crossbows and arrows, and long lances refused to hook.

The morale of the former Qin army was like a rainbow, and ten cavalry teams lined up in Feishui.Each team has about [-] cavalry, deploying a Yanyue-style attack formation, ready to launch an attack first at any time, and crush the Beifu army in one go.

The army of the former Qin Dynasty was large in number, [-] infantry followed the cavalry, defending with guns and shields.

……

As soon as he entered the former Qin army, Bai Fu saw that Fu Jian made a big mistake in marching. The battle line was stretched too long, the banners faced each other from head to tail, hundreds of miles away, and only [-]% of the million troops were able to fight the Beifu soldiers.

Bai Fu remembered the words of General Zhong Si, "How can a weak army gain an overwhelming advantage? The answer is to form a local advantage and concentrate superior forces to fight the battle of annihilation! Destroy the vital forces of the enemy army, obtain the enemy's food and grass, support the war with war, and invade supplies. "

In an instant, Bai Fu had the feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds.

On the opposite bank, a cluster of commander-in-chief flags moved quickly in the army formation like a big river, advancing towards Feishui.Wherever Shuai Qi went, the queues separated neatly like waves.The soldiers on both sides drew their swords and shouted, and saluted with military salutes.

Under Shuai's banner, one man with silver helmet and silver armor galloped his horse and waved his hands. The soldiers from all directions shouted the name of Xie Shuai with enthusiasm, and their morale reached the peak in an instant.

For every Beifu soldier, this battle to defend their home and country, and to be famous as a soldier, is related to the lives of the elders, wives, children, and children in their hometown, and it is related to the honor of the Beifu army.The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the last soldier in the battle can't let the foreign army step over the Feishui!
In contrast to the former Qin army, the soldiers were exhausted, their eyes were confused, and they fought for no reason.The generals of different races whispered to each other, each with their own ghosts, watching the fire from the other side.

Aside from predicting the outcome of this battle, Bai Fu calculated according to the "five things and seven strategies" of Sun Wuzi, the soldier sage, and he knew that this battle was more or less auspicious for Fu Jian's army.

The former Qin army approached Feishui to form an array, and the Beifu soldiers could not cross it.

Xie Xuance walked to the bank of Feishui, faced Fu Jian's Chinese army banner, shouted loudly, and said, "Fu Jian, how dare you fight me to the death!"

The Beifu army burst into laughter, and the laughter spread into Fu Jian's ears, turning into ridicule and insult.

Fu Jian was furious, looking around, all the former Qin generals were grimacing.

Xie Xuan sent an envoy to Fu Rong, Duke of Yangping, and said: "The king hangs the army to enter, and the Chen forces the water. This is a long-term strategy, not a one who wants to fight quickly. If Chen Xiaoque is moved, the Jin soldiers can be crossed, and the decision will be made." Victory or defeat, isn't it good?"

You go deep alone, but line up by the water. This is the way to fight a protracted war. Don't you want a quick victory?Wouldn't it be great if the mobile army retreated a few steps so that the Jin soldiers could cross the river and have a decisive battle?
The generals of the former Qin Dynasty said to Fu Jian: "We are few and we are few, it is better to contain them, so that we can not go up, we can be safe."

Our soldiers are many and the enemy's are few. It is better to stop them so that they cannot go ashore, so that there is no chance of failure.

Fu Jian said: "However, if you attract fewer troops and make them halfway across, I will kill them with iron cavalry. I am so contemptuous!"

Just lead the army back a little bit, let them cross half of the troops, and I suddenly charge them with iron cavalry, how can I be invincible? "

Fu Rong agreed with the strategy of attacking at half-cross and commanded the army to retreat.

……

Bai Fu watched the messengers of the former Qin Dynasty riding gallop in the formation, and informed the generals of the army.He understood Fu Jian's strategy, which was to take advantage of the moment when the Northern Army's army crossed the river and was unable to make haste!
Bai Fu couldn't figure out why the tried-and-true strategy of "strike at halfway" failed in the Battle of Feishui.At this moment, personally on the scene, Bai Fu has the most intuitive feeling:
There are many soldiers and generals, which have the advantage of having a large number of people, but there are also disadvantages of having a large number of soldiers.Without a complete and unified command system, without rigorous combat training such as hanging banners and golden drums, the army will be in chaos on the battlefield, and it will be difficult to look at the head and tail.

Therefore, the Art of War says: Soldiers are more expensive than elites.

Fu Jian's army of 15 was crowded on the north bank of Feishui River, which was already bloated.The Yanyue-style intensive attack formation may be aggressive and impeccable when attacking, but once it turns to defense, it is difficult to keep the formation in order.

In addition, each army formation is composed of different tribes, and the orders for troop deployment are different, making coordination difficult.Any step back will involve 15 people, and the whole body will be affected by one move, and the chaos will be imagined.

　Che Bibi, Ma Xiaoxiao, pedestrian bows and arrows each at his waist.

　　The grandfather and wife walked to see each other, but the dust did not see Xianyang Bridge.

　　Qianyi stopped his feet and cried, and the cry went straight to the sky.

　　People who pass by the road ask pedestrians, but pedestrians travel frequently.

　　Or from the [-]th Beifang River to the [-]th Xiyingtian.

　　When I went, I was head-wrapped, and when I returned, I was still holding the side.

　　The side court bleeds into sea water, and Emperor Wu has been willing to open the side.

　　You don’t hear that, in the two hundred prefectures of Shandong in the Han family, Jingqi is born in thousands of villages.

　　Even if there are healthy women who plow the hoe, there is nothing left in the sage.

　　In addition, Qin Bing endured hard work and was driven by dogs and chickens.

　　Although the elders have asked, dare to express hatred?

　　And this winter, Kansai died without a break.

　　The magistrate urgently asks for rent, where does the tax come from?
　　Believe that knows to give birth to men is evil, but it is better to have a daughter.

　　If you give birth to a daughter, you have to marry Proxima, and if you give birth to a boy, you must bury it with Baicao.

　　You don’t see, Qinghai head, no bones have been collected since ancient times.

　　The new ghosts bother the old ghosts and cry, the sky is overcast and rainy and wet and tweeting!
