So far, in the military works that Sun Ce knows, almost no mountain warfare is involved. Ancient military tactics originated in the Central Plains and have always adhered to tactics adapted to the plains. They started with chariot warfare, and later large corps warfare. Almost no one would fight in the mountainous areas. The mountainous terrain is complex and the transportation of transportation is inconvenient. First of all, it is a big trouble for the transportation of supplies. There is no land in the mountains, it cannot support much population, and there is no wealth to fight for. Even if there is a conflict, it is still a village. Fight between families rarely involves the government.

Therefore, mountain combat has always been a weak link. It is not that no one is good at mountain combat, but that there is no system formed and no relevant records are left. It is all in the minds of the generals responsible for the battle. When a person dies, this knowledge will be gone.

Ma Yuan, the ancestor of the Ma family of Fufeng, was a mountain war expert. He accumulated rich experience in mountain warfare during two southern expeditions. However, as soon as someone died, the horse was wrapped in a corpse, the experience was cleared and no record was left. Later generals could only slowly explore in practice. How much achievements they could achieve depends entirely on their personal talent.

Sun Ce is a little better than them. Sun Jian has experience in mountain combat and has told him some of it, but it is just a few words and cannot be said to be a system. Zulang is a smart person among the bandits, otherwise Sun Ce would not have suffered so much, and he almost lost his life. He has a lot of practical experience, how can he pass on these experiences to more people? This is a problem that Sun Ce has been considering recently.

Fortunately, they were of the same age, had similar interests and had no conservative ideas. Sun Ce's army had the habit of teaching martial arts, and Zulang did not intend to be a bandit for the rest of his life, so there was no obstacle to communicating with each other. Sun Ce put a high hat on him, and Zulang happily told Sun Ce and others the skills of guarding the bandits one by one. When he was proud, he also told some stories, which were vivid and vivid.

Sun Ce and others benefited a lot. Although these experiences are not systematic and even vulgar and superficial, they are valuable experiences obtained by bandits with their lives and deserve attention. Sun Ce not only asked Pang Tong and others to make records, but also asked them to organize them carefully and distribute them to generals at all levels to make textbooks. When they arrive on the battlefield, they will verify and improve them and gradually improve them.

Anything is not as efficient as systematic research by personal experience. Even if two people learn from each other, they can achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two. He built a martial arts hall, Mu Academy, and Bencao Tang, and did not provide any valuable insights, but if he set up a platform, people would naturally perform on stage and slowly see the effect. Huang Chengyan, Huang Yueying and his daughter are typical examples. So many new technologies emerge one after another, not only their intelligence, but also their triggers and excitement from others. Huang Chengyan has made more progress in smelting technology in the past two days than his previous ten years of experience.

Lectures are theory, and there is still a certain distance from actual combat. Sun Ce decided to organize targeted training. The battle in the mountains has a series of special features, and you can't go into the mountains without any preparation. Guo Jia and others also felt it was reasonable. You said, I discussed what links you need to train. Zulang had practical experience and command skills, and he was the main one. Others advised the staff and quickly drafted a training plan.

One day later, Sun Ce left Gan Ning and Li Shu guarded the city, and arranged another battalion for Cai Mao and Xiang Lang, asking them to be responsible for the transfer of supplies. The remaining five thousand cavalry entered the mountain and carried out mountain war training.

Chen Fei lay on a large creeping stone, leaned out his head quietly, looked at the figure in the distance, and cursed a few hatefully.

"Xu Chun, who was killed in heaven, has caused me a lot this time. The tiger did not attack, but instead recruited the tiger into the mountains. Why is it so unlucky?"

"Master, that's not a tiger, that's a phoenix." Zhang Zhong said on the side. He was the scout sent to Yangxian for information, and the one who knows the situation the most. "I'm the tiger, and this time I'm the son."

"You know." Chen Bai cursed, kicked Zhang Zhong, and urged: "What else do you know? You said it cleanly and hesitate. Are you learning to lay eggs?"

Zhang Zhong patted his butt and dusted off the dust. "This phoenix, no, Sun Ce, Sun Ce has a total of seven or eight thousand people. This time there were about five thousand people entering the mountain. There were not many cavalrymen, only two or three hundred horses, and most of them were stationed at the mountain pass, so they should be used to contact the city. That horse is so good, the commander, I didn't say, I haven't seen such a beautiful horse even though I was so old, you must have seen it..."

Chen Bai shouted angrily: "How beautiful is he? Do you want to grab one to be an old lady for you?"

Zhang Zhong laughed dryly and took back the topic. "These five thousand people include Sun Ce's Yicongying camp, about four or five hundred, all of whom were warriors one in a hundred. They were all burly men, eight feet tall, with a waist of ten, like a stone pier. That night at the Xu family, they controlled the Xu family's troops. I heard that each of them could do ten, and the Xu family's troops could not even be stopped for a round. Oh, don't beat, the commander, don't beat."

Chen Bai withdrew his hand, pointed at Zhang Zhong, gritted his teeth and scolded: "If you don't care about this broken mouth, I will chop it up with a knife."

Seeing that Chen Bai was really anxious, Zhang Zhong didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and briefly told the situation. The more Chen Bai heard, the ugly his face became. It would be fine if Sun Ce had elite troops, but why did Zulang still have Zulang? He had never seen Zulang, but Zulang's name and knew that he was a famous general in Danyang, much stronger than him. It is said that there are 30,000 to 50,000 people under his command. He is a local tyrant in Jingxian area, and no one dares to provoke him. Even the prefect of Danyang had to give him three points of face.

How did the local king in Danyang surrender to the little king? Just because of a defeat? It is normal for bandits to defeat them. How can they surrender if they lose? It is so useless. But it may also be a fraudulent surrender. The bandits are like this. If they really can't win but cannot escape, they surrender temporarily. After taking a breath, they will rebel again. Maybe they will have a chance to bite back and take revenge.

Zulang might just think so.

Just as Chen Bai was speculating about Zulang's intention to surrender to Sun Ce, a bandit came over with his waist. "Master, Wan Shuai Wan asked you to come over."

"What's the matter? Didn't you see Nai Weng busy? Sun Ce is almost hitting the door, and he is still in the mood to care about those messy things?"

"No, a guest came, saying that it was sent by the new governor and wanted to be appointed as the commanders."

"New Governor? Be an official?" Chen Bai was stunned for a moment, turned over and leaned on Dashishan, rolled his eyes for a long time, and still felt a little incredible. When did a new Governor come to Yangzhou and want to be appointed as an official? In the past few decades, he has met five or six Governors, including evil, good, honest, and greedy, but no one is willing to recruit. They are not ordinary bandits, or even ordinary Yellow Turbans. They are old subordinates of Emperor Yangming, who have committed serious crimes of treason, and even the emperor's amnesty is not included.
