The great man will live forever

Chapter 26 Fear before the war

Chapter 26 Fear before the war
The military camp was shrouded in darkness, and the pitch-black night filled the air with a terrifying and depressing atmosphere.

The broken moonlight passed through the gaps in the clouds and sprinkled on the grass, outlining the afterimage-like figure and the reflected light of the sharp blade.

The howling wind blew by, bringing with it the omen of an imminent war. There were torches around, but they were not so bright and could only be barely visible.

Looking at the more than 2 soldiers in front of him, the huge crowds of people, more than a thousand people were already terrifying, let alone more than 2 people, Liu Han felt thousands of lofty sentiments surging in his heart.

"Before the sun rises today, many of you may die. Tell me, are you afraid?"

There are people in the military camp who specialize in conveying words. The general can repeat the oral instructions many times and let the soldiers next to him convey it to the people around him to achieve transmission.

"Not afraid!"

The roar was deafening.

"Okay, the other side has less than 5000 people. We have 2 people, which is four times their number. In this battle, we will completely annihilate the Huns."

Liu Han continued to cheer them up, and it was also the case. With more people, the momentum is greater, and it is good to win with more people, but that is when there is no other way.

If possible, who wouldn't want to call a few more boys to fight together? Even if the boys don't move, standing nearby can increase the momentum.

Ancient cold weapons, in addition to the number of people equipped, also have momentum and military spirit.

"Destroy all the enemy Huns."

Seeing everyone's high morale, Liu Han was very happy. He still didn't believe it. 2 people couldn't defeat a few thousand people. The equipment of the two sides was not far behind, and even the big man's was more elite.

"From now on, the slogan of our Tiger Army is: come when called, fight when you come, and win when you fight!"

"When you are called, you will come. If you come, you can fight. If you fight, you will win!"

Wei Qing's eyes lit up when he heard the slogan.

At this moment, thousands of people roared, as if they were venting their anger to the heavens. At this moment, it seemed that some ancient bloodline was awakening, boiling, and sublimating.

"set off!"

"Da da da!" The sound of horse hooves sounded, one after another, like playing music.

Zhao Ponu had already led 5000 people to Ganquan Palace in advance. Li Guangye and Bald Qiang led 5000 people and rushed to Feiying Stream, preparing to cut off the Xiongnu's retreat.

An hour later, the sky was no longer so dark, and the [-] troops led by Liu Han had arrived at Bailangfa.

"Line up, ready for battle."

"promise!"

"All spies go out. Be sure to find out where Xin Zhao is. How many people are there? Be careful not to be discovered by them."

"promise."

At this time, Wei Qing, who was riding on horseback, spoke.

"I estimate that the people Xin Zhao is coming are all elites. It will be good if we can scare them away. It is best not to fight. The terrain here is difficult and only a single cavalry can be allowed to pass. If we fight, our numerical advantage will be gone. Protecting the safety of the emperor is the most important thing." .

Besides, Huben Camp is the eyeball of the emperor and is very precious. We have already disobeyed military orders this time and it is a capital crime. If we win, we will get no credit. If we lose, we will be punished with an additional penalty. "

He was still a little worried about the combat effectiveness of the Huben Battalion. After all, they had never been on the battlefield, and the terrain was not open, so their strength advantage was not that obvious.

Liu Han wanted to laugh a little. He really wanted to say that it was you, the general, who disobeyed the military order. I just listened to you. You have the tiger talisman. There is indeed no reward for you if you win, but I do.

But of course he couldn't say that, he just said firmly: "General, we have to fight. My big man can come and leave whenever they want. At least I have to peel off a few layers of their skin.

Besides, although the terrain is not good, there are many of us. Even if we are one-on-one, we will fight in circles. Divide the 2 people into echelons and send them up one by one. When they are tired, we will send the next echelon. , in this rotation, we will work hard on our physical strength.

Our number is more than 6 times that of theirs, and we are young and strong, so we use our physical strength and exhaust them to death. No matter how precious the soldiers are, they still have to go to the battlefield, so we treat them as training. This is a good opportunity. We must see them. Xue, if he is defeated easily, it will be useless for the Tiger and Ben army to come, so he should disband as soon as possible and go farming. "

Good guy, Liu Han finally had an opportunity to make a contribution, how could he be willing to miss it.

Besides, if people bully you right to your doorstep, why don’t you fight back? Are you being ridiculous?
"This……"

Wei Qing hesitated, as if what he said made sense.

"Are you sure the Tiger and Ben army can win?"

Wei Qing looked directly at Liu Han, giving him a strong sense of oppression. The look in his eyes seemed to be like a sharp sword. Liu Han was not afraid. He stepped forward and said, "At least I won't lose." "Okay, then. Fight." Wei Qing nodded and made up his mind.

"Then General, have you given command?"

"You are the commander of the Tiger Army. I don't know them very well."

"Okay, then while you are watching from the sidelines, if there is anything wrong, you can correct it at any time."

Liu Han actually had worries in his heart. Training tens of thousands of people is not difficult, but commanding tens of thousands of people to march is quite troublesome. It takes experience and a long time to learn. What is even more terrifying is to command them to fight.

Not everyone is like Han Xin. The more troops the better. In ancient times, the more troops there were, the harder it was to command.

First, communication difficulties: In ancient times, without the support of modern communication technology, it was difficult for commanders to convey orders and instructions quickly and accurately.Transmitting instructions requires relying on means such as messengers and signal flags, and these means are prone to interference, misunderstanding, or delay in large-scale armies.

Second, battle control is difficult: when the size of the army is large, the chaos and complexity on the battlefield also increase.It is difficult for the commander to grasp the entire battle situation at the same time and clearly understand the specific situation and needs of each unit.The commander's instructions and dispatches may arrive late, and the battle situation changes rapidly, making it difficult to make effective decisions in a timely manner.

Third, coordination difficulties: Close cooperation and coordination are required between various units of a large-scale army, but this was a very challenging task in ancient times.Soldiers are widely distributed and communication is difficult. It is difficult for commanders to ensure that each unit can accurately understand and execute instructions, and chain reaction errors are prone to occur.

Fourth, it is difficult to control discipline: When the army is large, maintaining discipline is also a huge challenge.It is difficult for commanders to conduct detailed management and supervision of each soldier, and problems such as loose military discipline and low morale are prone to occur, thus affecting the combat effectiveness and efficiency of the entire army.

Fifth, it is difficult to maintain supply: a large-scale army requires a large amount of food, water, military supplies, etc., and the management and control of supply lines has become an important issue.If the supply line is too long or unreliable, it will lead to a shortage of supplies for soldiers and affect the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

Therefore, the larger the scale of the ancient army, the higher the difficulty of command and control. Various technical limitations and the complexity of the battlefield environment made large-scale army command a challenge.

Therefore, commanders of ancient armies often divided their armies into smaller formations for more effective command and control.

Liu Han understood this truth very early, so he kept learning. But even though he worked very hard, he was still far behind Huo Qubing, an inhuman being who seemed to be born to command thousands of troops. .

This kind of talent is rare in history. Wei Qing is not that strong. He mostly accumulated and learned it, while Huo Qubing doesn't need it. He seems to be born with it.

It can only be said that people are better than others, and people are pissed off.

It is not that the more troops the better. If the command ability is not good, too many troops will be a hindrance. In the Battle of Feishui in later generations, Fu Jian had the opportunity to dominate the world, but unfortunately he failed.

He had an army of one million people back then. It wasn't the one he claimed to have. There were really millions. This is where the idiom "throwing a whip and cutting off the flow" comes from.

Facing the persuasion of the prince and ministers, Fu Jian said arrogantly: "With all my troops, we can throw whips into the river and cut off its flow."

Indeed, he has the arrogant confidence and capital. He has an army of one million, and his land area, preparation, and national strength are many times that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. What is even more frightening is that the Eastern Jin Dynasty opposite only has 7 horses. He is like a flying dragon riding on his face. Will you lose?

However, he was arrogant and defeated in the end. He was completely defeated. One million troops were chased by 7 horses, and they were as panicked as a lost dog.

If God allows him to perish, he will be crazy. He is just like Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi a hundred years ago. History is like reincarnation. What has happened will happen again, and it is constantly being performed. It is difficult for people to surpass history.

The reason why he failed was not only because he insisted on going his own way and was arrogant, but also because he lacked strategic planning and the ability to command large armies in combat.

Therefore, as time passed, Liu Han's heart was trembling slightly. He was afraid that he would fail. After all, there was an army of 16 people. He was only 16 years old. It was terrible for a 2-year-old boy to bear the fate of [-] people.

He wanted to hand over the command to Wei Qing. When Wei Qing refused, he felt a little lucky, but in fact, he was eager to try.

Who doesn't want to command thousands of troops and be invincible on the battlefield? He is still young and can afford to lose, and with Wei Qing by his side, why not give him an opportunity?
"Xiong Da, listen to the order..."

"Xiong Er, follow the order..."

"Wang Hongyuan..."

"Hu Chuan..."

"Wo Liangping..."

He issued a series of orders and prepared what he thought he could do.

"General, do you think this arrangement is okay?"

Wei Qing nodded, "Yes, it's appropriate. It's cramped here, so you can only wait one by one. It's a head-to-head confrontation, but I suggest that it's best to rotate after half a stick of incense. Also, set up an inspection school, which can be overstaffed, and add your own troops." , about 1000 people, you will personally supervise and watch from behind, if anyone dares to escape or retreat, he will be killed without mercy."

"it is good!"

Of course Liu Han knew what he meant. Even if the morale of the recruits who went to the battlefield for the first time was high, if they started fighting, blood would fly, heads would fall to the ground, and limbs would be broken...

These horrific scenes, as well as the fear of death, will inevitably make them retreat, and this retreat will demoralize them.
