marquis of jingan

Chapter 924
In war, there are no skills at all.

The strong have always prevailed over the weak.

Those famous scenes in history where the few defeated the many, and the weak defeated the strong, either divided the enemy and realized the many against the few in a small area.

Or, their own strength is better than the enemy, but the strength is not reflected in the number of people.

Now, the people of Qi have huddled together along the Huai River, and they have also built a position. At this time, there is no skill or tactics to attack them.

Fist against fist, knife and gun against knife and gun.

Shen Yi only watched this battle from a high place for an hour, and couldn't bear to watch it any longer, turned around and left, and told Xue Wei while walking: "You watch here for me, remember, you are only allowed to watch, you are not allowed to end! "

After finishing speaking, he went back to his tent with his hands behind his hands, and went to write a small composition for the emperor with a gloomy face.

He wants to sue, he must sue.

Sue the Zhao family severely!
Otherwise, the depression in my heart would be hard to get rid of.

In this way, time passed bit by bit.

The battle started at dusk and continued until noon the next morning. Xue Wei, who was a little pale, came to Shen Yi's tent. He lowered his head slightly, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or tears on his face. , clasped his fists at Shen Yi and said, "Mr. Shen!"

Shen Yi also didn't close his eyes all night. Hearing the words, he silently raised his head, looked at Xue Wei, and asked, "The Qi people are starting to withdraw?"

"Yes."

Xue Wei's voice was a little hoarse, and he bowed his head and said: "Just now, General Su sent someone to report that the boats of the Qi people were already transporting the Qi people back to the north bank. According to your order, Mr. Shen, General Su did not intercept this batch of boats."

Shen Yi was writing something in a small notebook at the moment. After hearing this sentence, he silently put down the brush in his hand, looked at Xue Wei who looked a bit unsightly, and asked silently: "The battlefield Very tragic?"

Xue Wei nodded with difficulty: "The blood is flowing..."

It's rare that Xue Wei can use idioms after studying for so long.

Normally, Shen Yi would tease him more or less, but now, both of them are out of mood, Shen Yi closed his eyes silently, and said: "Go pass the order, tell Su Ding, act according to the original plan, and wait for Qi people After the first group of people withdrew, they immediately launched a fierce attack and ate all the Qi people on the south bank!"

Xue Wei cupped his fists and said, "Yes, this subordinate will pass the order."

Shen Yi rubbed his eyebrows, stopped Xue Wei, and said: "Wan Zhong is struggling a bit on the coast of the East China Sea. Tell Su Ding that when the situation at Xiangshui Camp is clear, immediately send troops to support Wan Zhong."

Wan Zhong only brought four battalions of thousands of households to stop more than 4000 Qi people on the coast of the East China Sea. The number was quite large, and even if they were unable to defeat them, they should be able to hold them back. But almost all the Qi people on the East China Sea side They were elites, and Wan Zhong and the others suffered a small loss as soon as they came into contact.

Up to now, the war in the East China Sea has been close to ten days. Wan Zhong assured Shen Yi that the enemies in the East China Sea would not interfere with the Xiangshui battle. Not optimistic. Up to now, among the four thousand-household battalions under his command, there are still only 400 people left.

In other words, less than half of them were killed in battle and lost combat effectiveness.

As a last resort, he reported to Shen Yi for help.

However, Shen Yi's manpower is also tight now, and he has no way to provide immediate support. He can only send troops to support Donghai after the battle here in Xiangshui is no longer suspenseful.

Xue Wei was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Shen, why don't you let the last general lead a thousand soldiers and horses to save thousands of households?"

Seeing Shen Yi frowning, he immediately added: "The final general will select some minor wounds from the wounded battalion, and not take away the brothers on the front line..."

"Fuck off."

Master Shen said in a muffled voice, "Do whatever you are told to do, you don't understand the words, do you?"

Xue Wei was most afraid of Shen Yi, he trembled when he heard the words, and quickly lowered his head: "Yes, the last general will go down here."

After all, he left in despair.

After Xue Wei left, Shen Yi sat alone in the tent with his eyes closed.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why those generals who were commanding the troops outside all sat firmly in the tents of the central army to issue orders. Apart from surveying the terrain, they rarely went to the front line, and they would not personally command the front line soldiers.

because…

For real decision makers, the situation on the battlefield really affects judgment too much.

Sometimes, only by treating the strength of the troops on the battlefield as individual numbers can we make the most calm judgment and win.

If it is treated as an individual, a soft heart may lead to catastrophe.

Even if he is not merciful, he may cause psychological trauma to himself afterwards.

Shen Yi sat alone for a long time in silence before slowly opening his eyes.

At the end of the day, Jiang Sheng lowered his body slightly and brought him lunch.

Shen Yi took the lunch, lowered his head to grab a few mouthfuls, and then looked around at the tent he was living in.

He knew in his heart that with the increase in the size of his troops in the future, the number of times he would go to the battlefield to watch the battle in person would probably become less and less.

With a high probability, he will sit firmly in the central military account as he is now, and make his own series of judgments by looking at the intelligence, news, and specific data sent by the people under him.

After bowing his head and taking a few mouthfuls of food, Master Shen lost his appetite. He put down his chopsticks, looked at Jiang Sheng, and took a deep breath.

"Go and urge the western front to ask Ling Su to hand over the battle report to me as soon as possible. I want to know what the current situation is on the western front."

"In addition, send someone to tell Ling Su that there are not many Qi people landing on the western front, and there are quite a lot of troops on their side."

Master Shen reached out and knocked on the table, and said in a cold voice: "Tell him, eat all you can eat, and try not to let any Qi people return north!"

Jiang Sheng nodded first, then looked at the food in front of Shen Yi, and said, "My lord, believe me and send someone to deliver it right away, but you still have to eat more food."

"When you get back to Jiankang and you lose weight, Madam will definitely blame me."

Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at him, his voice hoarse: "Go report."

Jiang Sheng didn't dare to speak anymore, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, I'll go right away..."

………………

In the afternoon, Shen Yi couldn't bear it any longer, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep. This sleep lasted all afternoon. When he woke up, it was already dark outside. Shen Yi sat up, and first looked through the stacked After reading the news on the table, he washed his face, put on his clothes and walked out of his tent.

He didn't go up to look at the Huaihe River, but found a stone at the entrance of the tent, sat down silently, and waited for the people from the front to report the news while blowing the night wind.

In the middle of the night, torches appeared on the road at the entrance of the tent, and the torches gradually approached. When they got closer, Shen Yi could see clearly that Su Ding and the two generals of the imperial army, Meng Lian and Jiao Duan, were walking side by side. After the three of them walked in front of Shen Yi, they knelt down respectfully, bowed their heads and said, "Greetings, Mr. Shen!"

Su Ding lowered his head slightly: "My lord!"

Su Ding's emotional intelligence is not low. At this time, because there is an "outsider" from the Imperial Army present, he no longer calls "Mr. Shen", but an adult, but the surname is removed, which seems a little closer.

Shen Yi sat down from the big rock, and said to the three of them, "You three have worked hard, don't worship me, get up quickly."

The three of them stood up one after another.

Shen Yi's gaze fell on Su Ding. Su Ding stepped forward silently, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the situation of the battle on the south bank is clear. The Qi people who are stranded on the south bank are now defeated. The last general ordered a few thousand households battalion, It is finishing, and it is estimated that by dawn afternoon, or tomorrow, the battle on the entire South Bank will be over."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "As for the East China Sea, the last general has sent people there according to your instructions, but our Huai'an army is already exhausted, so we only sent two thousand battalions out. The two generals of the imperial army each sent a battalion of thousands of households to support the East China Sea with the army."

Hearing this, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed his hands to the two generals Meng Jiao: "Thank you for your help."

The two of them did not dare to speak together, and lowered their heads slightly, and said: "Master Shi Lang is polite, since we are ordered to be dispatched by Shen Shi Lang, we are no different from the Huai'an army, so naturally we should share the worries of Shi Lang."

Shen Yi nodded slightly, then looked at Su Ding again, but did not speak.

Su Ding understood, bowed his head silently and said: "My lord, after a few days of fierce fighting, we left about [-] to [-] Qi people."

He paused and said slowly.

"The Huai'an Army, together with the Forbidden Army, suffered nearly 8000 casualties..."
