Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 281 Three States
"Send the order! The Chinese army marches forward quickly, rushing in a row, and adjust the formation in two hundred steps."

"Press the left and right wings to force the enemy."

"Let out all the cavalry, and if you see the enemy's formation shaking and the noise is louder, strike them violently."

"The enemy is in disarray, and the rules have been lost. Send another team of cavalry to go around the enemy's side and make a big show."

One order after another was passed on.

Shao Dashuai's level of playing dumb battles has entered the stage of perfection.After so many years of fighting, when the two sides formed an formation, he could see the general process of the enemy's formation: the formation is slow and unskilled; the noise is loud and the discipline is poor; the execution is not good, He kept in mind the officers even kicking and beating them, and then carefully observed which direction they were in.

In face-to-face field battles, there are actually no tricks. The core idea is to use the strong to attack the weak. First pick the soft persimmon, and then use the chaos caused by the soft persimmon to rush in, expand the gap, shake the morale of the enemy, and make them panic. It is doubtful whether this battle can be won.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, in a tense battlefield, it can be said that a slight disturbance can cause a chain reaction.Those who could have worked harder, simply gave up and stopped fighting; those who planned to rescue friendly troops did not save them; most of the array changes that could have been made were impossible.

Next, it was basically an avalanche-like defeat, just like the enemy army in front of us.

There were a total of about 4000 people in the first three formations. They had lost all fighting spirit, and the formations were no longer in formation, and they frantically fled backwards.In fact, they didn't die at all, thousands of them died, and most of them were killed when they collapsed.But at this time, it is already impossible to save the gods. Even if you stand in front of the rout soldier and slap him a few times, he will not stop and continue fighting.You have to escape to a place where the enemy can't see, calm down, collect the souls that are about to be frightened away, and then reorganize and restore the organization, so that you can continue to fight.

But in the corpse yard, how could they be given such an opportunity!

The accelerated pace of the Tielin Army marched in the middle of the wall, and in the eyes of the enemy's rout, it was not much different from the bull's head and the horse's face.With a stab of a spear, one person was killed, and arrows were fired, and a group of people fell to the ground.

What kind of person is easiest to kill?The answer is: people who will not resist.

The Tielin Army marched unhurriedly in this way, which not only prevented the enemy from jumping over the wall to resist because they could not escape, but also allowed them to waste their energy in tension and panic, and finally had no strength to resist.

This is a group of old soldiers who are well versed in battlefield psychology and killing skills. They can choose the most reasonable way to harvest the life of the enemy without the command of a superior.

Zhuge Zhongbao stared blankly at his own soldiers who had been defeated like a mountain.Although before the battle, he had the idea of ​​defeating each other, and at the same time felt that this battle should not be too easy, and the chance of winning might not be too high, but the defeat was so straightforward, and it was indeed beyond his expectations.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Zhuge Zhongbao before the war was like a child who estimated his own score after a test, desperately overestimating it.But when the test results came out, it was like being struck by lightning. How could this be? !

In desperation, he drew out his sword and planned to kill himself, but was soon stopped by his own soldiers, who hugged him and ran back.

"General, hurry back to Bizhou. Inspector Zhang is the relative of his son and daughter, so he will not betray the general."

"Yes, General, there is still a chance to contain the broken soldiers and rectify the army after returning."

"Let's just defend the city until the Shao bandits retreat."

The soldiers said in a hurry.

At this moment, Zhuge Zhongbao came back to his senses, and said with tears, "The matter has come to this, what can I say. Once the tens of thousands of troops are wiped out, how can the states still have soldiers and horses to guard them? It is the barbarian The tribe will no longer agree to send troops."

The soldiers ignored him and just hugged him and continued to move forward.

The battlefield was chaotic, and there were rout soldiers running around like headless chickens.Zhuge Zhongbao and his party dodged left and right, but before they had run far, a group of cavalry came forward. Seeing this, the rout soldiers were stunned for a while, then dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, begging to surrender.

"Why don't you guys surrender?" the cavalry team was pulling out their bows and asked.

"He is Zhuge Zhongbao..." a surrendered soldier said loudly.

The eyes of the cavalry team are brightening, is there such a good thing?

"General Niu, how do you feel about the battle today?" Shao Shude asked with a smile after sitting down under the commander's banner on the high slope.

"How many battles have the Iron Forest Army fought..." Niu Li was not good at words, and now there was only one doubt in his mind.

"Counting from Tielin..." Shao Shude thought about it for a while, and said: "Dai Bei fought with Datong Army, Guanzhong fought against Huangchao several times, Bei conquered the tribes of Jinze, Xiping Youzhou Tuoba Sigong, Faling Zhou Hanlang and Kang Yuancheng went south to Chang'an to fight the Fengxiang army, and westward to conquer Hewei and destroy Lanzhou. Since this expedition, they have attacked Fengzhou and defeated Zhuge Zhongbao. If you count the small battles, there will always be twenty or thirty battles. "

"I have seen dozens of battles..." Niu Li was a little stunned.With such a high frequency of battles, even a rookie can become an elite soldier.He knew about Zhuge Zhongbao's soldiers and horses. At the beginning, he brought hundreds of soldiers from Hedong to the south and served as the governor of Tongzhou. After several years of operation, the army expanded to more than [-].Most of the so-called [-] people drawn out now have been in the army for less than a year.In terms of the quality of the sergeants alone, there is also a big gap with the Dingnan army.

"General Niu, when you come to a certain tent in the future, you will bring this kind of soldiers. There is enough food, enough pay, and enough soldiers. The sergeants also know why they are fighting. These soldiers are not easy to come by, and they are the generals. Be cautious." Shao Shude said.

These are words from the heart, and there is a meaning of reuse in the words. Niu Li was a little moved, and said: "If the last general is to lead the army, he should be cautious."

"Training soldiers is like raising children. It's not easy." Shao Shude said: "If you have 20 elite soldiers, you can dominate one side; if you have 30, you can sweep the world and go everywhere; if you have [-], you can..."

Having said that, Shao Shude remained silent.

The founding soldiers of any dynasty are the most able to fight and have the most experience, because they all rolled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.But once buried, the luck of the dynasty will take a turn for the worse.

An army's spirit, combat mode, command method, and military training routines are all inherited. Once there are too many losses, many inheritances will be lost.Originally, it might take 50 years for the army of the new dynasty to degenerate, but you have ruined a large wave, and maybe it will be unbearable in 30 or [-] years.

Trembling, like walking on thin ice, this is the attitude towards war.

"Marshal, Zhuge Zhongbao has been arrested!" Li Renfu, the tenth personal soldier, came to report suddenly.

"Bring him here."

Zhuge Zhongbao was quickly brought there, bowed his head and knelt there, not knowing whether he was afraid or unwilling to meet Shao Shude.

There was silence in the field for a long time, and after a long time, I heard Shao Shude say: "In the past, you were just a beggar. When the servant saw you, he felt the same way, so he adopted him as a foster son and cultivated him a lot. Your wife is the servant of the servant. Niece, the servant told you about this marriage. Your official position was also granted by the servant to rule the Banan states. But how did you treat the servant's trust and cultivation?"

Zhuge Zhongbao bowed his head and remained silent, as if he felt ashamed.

"If I kill you, will you be convinced?" Shao Shude asked after kicking Zhuge Zhongbao over.

"I am ashamed of the great kindness of the commander, and I will die without complaint." Zhuge Zhongbao said.

Shao Shude looked at him, and didn't know if he was begging for mercy or if he really thought so.

"Shut up first."

"As ordered."

Before leaving, Marshal Zhuge suddenly said that he wanted to meet Zhuge Zhongbao and ask him why he did this.Shao Shude didn't think it was necessary. In troubled times, there are many warriors who cannibalize human flesh. Rape and robbery are commonplace. What is there to ask?But this may also be Commander Zhuge's obsession, so take him back with you, if the Commander doesn't want to kill him, then take him back to Lingxia, away from Shannan West Road, even if you want to be a monster.

During the battle in Damou County, a total of more than 5000 people were beheaded, [-] people were captured, and the rest dispersed and fled to the mountains and forests.And after annihilating this army, which can be called the essence of the three states, the three states of Bi, Tong, and Kai no longer have much strength to resist, let alone the courage to resist.

On the first day of June, a small force of the Tianzhu army rushed forward to Tongjiang County in Lisuo, Bizhou.Hearing that this person and Zhuge Zhongbao were in-laws, so he surrendered so simply and neatly, it's not a bad show.

This is the case in Bizhou, but it is even more extreme in Tongzhou.The generals of the remaining army directly arrested Zhuge Zhongbao's family and sent them to Shao Shude's army.

Kaizhou was the last to surrender.Moreover, an internal strife broke out, and they attacked and killed each other.In the end, the victors sent envoys to the army to beg for surrender, expressing their willingness to go anyway.

The three prefectures of Tong, Bi, and Kai have been completely recovered so far.As for the governance at a deeper level, that was Zhuge Zhongfang's business, and Shao Shude was too lazy to take care of it.

It was so cool to wipe out the main force of the enemy in World War I.

Shao Shude suddenly saw Fu Cunjian who was escorting the prisoners away. He remembered that this person had fought all his life in history and had never lost a single battle.I don't know if he can still do this under his command.Sometimes, people also need a little luck.

This time the southern expedition, the military battle is almost coming to an end, and next, there will be more important political battles.

"Zhao Suishi, go south from here, along the Dazhu Road, you can reach Bazhou, and then Pengzhou and Quzhou. Where are you going?"

"Back to Marshal, Quzhou goes south, along Bashui (now Qujiang) 560 miles to Hezhou, 430 miles to Yuzhou. There is also a shortcut road [-] miles to Yuzhou. Jizhou to the west, you can also go to Long Sword Town." Zhao Guangfeng replied.

"Dragon Sword..." Shao Shude thought for a while, and asked, "Has Zhao Jian flattened Yang Maoshi?"

"It has been settled. After Yang Maoshi was defeated, his whole family set themselves on fire and died."

How many army leaders have set themselves on fire with their entire families!Li Keju, the former governor of Youzhou, set himself on fire with his whole family, and Yang Maoshi, governor of Langzhou, did the same thing.It's not that the military chiefs are cruel, they don't even spare their wives, concubines and children, it's just that this world is too cruel, especially for women.

"Send an envoy to Longjian, invite Zhao Jian to come to Bazhou, and say that someone is waiting for him here." Shao Shude ordered.

(Today, I read an author’s anti-piracy edition. I ordered from more than 1000 to [-]. I am very envious. I want to say that I have spent too much energy on this book. Sometimes I have to check the information for a long time for a person’s self-proclaimed, and strive to be close to the historical facts.

Others can write [-] characters, but I may only be able to write [-] characters. It's not that my hand speed is not as good as others, but that I have to look up too many things.And these things, maybe you didn't pay attention at all, and you just swept them away when you read them, and my work was useless.

But I don't want to be fooled at will. Like some books, the names of historical figures are replaced, and there is no sense of disobedience in other dynasties.It seems to be the Tang Dynasty, it seems to be the Song Dynasty, and it is almost the same as the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, they are all ancient times.However, the customs and culture of each dynasty are very different, even in the early, middle and late stages.If you don't write the spirit of the times, is it still a historical text?Simply cancel the classification of dynasties, and collectively call them "ancient times".

Having said so much, I will directly talk about the key points. Friends who watch pirated versions, can you support the genuine version?For the sake of putting so much effort into it. )
