Chapter Seventy-Nine Bait

For the second great contest, the troops were organized and lined up at the same place as the previous contest.

The military competition is not about fighting together and cutting each other with real swords and guns, but about the lethality and the ability to execute orders. In the center of the military field, there are various targets as different goals to see who can rely on the cooperation of multiple arms.

, can knock down all these targets with accurate positioning and the fastest speed.

The first one to participate in the competition was the former military camp, Jin Chan's troops. Jin Chan ordered the troops to be spread out, with the infantry shield array in front, the archers in the middle, and the cavalry in the back. Bows and arrows, and cavalry "shooting" are undoubtedly the most direct and effective way to attack the enemy.

Yes, Jin Chan gave an order to the archers to release arrows first. After the two rows of arrows rained down, the target in front was either "shot" through or "shot down". Immediately afterwards, the cavalry charged into the formation, and the cavalry "shot" first.

After a shower of arrows, he raised his sword and charged into the enemy's formation.

Among the targets on the opposite side, there were not only grass targets, but also wooden targets. Some of the targets had knives, spears, and wooden spikes inserted into them. Even though they looked dead, they really tested the cavalry's riding skills. Many cavalrymen saw that their opponents were wooden.

, the scarecrow, so he took it lightly and was scraped off or even scratched. As a result, the cavalry in the enemy formation quickly lost their order and became chaotic, and each one only knew how to chop at random.

Jin Chan, who was commanding from behind, was obviously a little anxious and could only order the entire army to charge into the formation. The infantry square quickly moved forward. When they saw that they were still five steps away from the enemy, the shield soldiers immediately picked up their steel knives and accelerated their speed.

The spearmen and the flat-ended spears followed the shield soldiers into the enemy formation and began to assassinate them.

Finally, there are the archers. When the infantry rushes into the formation, they still maintain their formation and hold down the formation. When the infantry rushes into the enemy's formation, they put their long bows on their waists, draw their sabers, and charge forward.

When all the targets in the enemy formation fell, Jin Chan ordered the whole team to retreat. Perhaps the scarecrow and wooden figures on the ground were too much of a hindrance, so the troops looked a bit messy when they withdrew from the whole team.

After all the soldiers and horses had withdrawn, Yue Su ordered the hourglass to be stopped to check the target of the hit arrow and how many of Jin Chan's men were injured. After all inspections were completed, the numbers were reported, and the troops who had hit the army and Ti Qiu came forward to practice.

Yue Su sent people to set up four formations three days ago. Of course, this formation was agreed upon by him, Jiang Jie and several generals in the army. Before the competition, the formations were not allowed to be leaked, and soldiers and horses were specially sent to watch.

, no one is allowed to approach.

These four formations are completely different. They are both difficult and easy. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference. However, the first one to go up will definitely suffer a disadvantage if he does not know what is going on. Therefore, Yue Su arranged the simplest one for Jin Chan.

Even so, several people were injured after a while.

The second person to come on stage was Tie Qiu. Tie Qiu led his troops to open up the battle. He was not a fool. He saw the loss that Jin Chan suffered just now and gave his subordinates countless instructions. But even so, when he

After the troops rushed into the formation, they still suffered a loss. Several people were scratched by hidden wooden sticks and weapons. They relied on Jin Chan's previous experience, otherwise more people would be injured and it would take longer.

If a living person beats a wooden man, it will definitely not be considered a complete victory if he is still injured. Fortunately, the Jin Chan Department took about the same time. After the recording was completed, the Tong Zhou Department came up for the third time.

The third one should be considered the most advantageous, as it is less difficult than the fourth one. The experiences of the first two are similar. If it still doesn't work, you can only blame your own limited abilities.

Facts have proved that those who were born as agents and those who were led by soldiers are indeed two different things. Tong Zhou's army, like the previous two, also used the same tactics. However, with lessons learned from past mistakes, they fought in a methodical and methodical manner, and were cautious.

There were no casualties, but it took longer than both the Golden Cicada and the Iron Qiu.

After Yue Su ordered his people to record the situation, he allowed the troops from Wujia Province to come forward.

While Wu JiaSheng deployed his troops, he carefully observed the enemy formation in front of him. The formation he faced was different from the three in front, and it was obviously much more difficult. The wooden man could not be said at most, and the enemy troops in the front row were also placed in front of him.

They formed a card formation and thrust out their spears to defend themselves.

This means that we cannot act according to common sense and need to adapt to circumstances. Wu Jia Province immediately ordered the archers to "shoot" at the rear flank of the enemy formation. At the same time, the cavalry spread out on both sides and attacked the flanks of the enemy formation. His tactics,

After receiving good results, the cavalry entered the enemy formation from the flanks and opened the front formation from behind. Wu Jiasheng saw the right opportunity and allowed the infantry formation to enter.

The tactics seemed simple, but they were direct and effective. After the troops entered the enemy formation, they were still orderly and not chaotic. The most commendable thing is that after the battle, not a single person in Wujia Province was injured, and

Still the fastest.

The first three families were all damaged, but none of the Wujia provinces were injured. They were decisive. This not only reflects the caution and prudence of the soldiers, but more importantly, it shows the quality of the cavalry. You must know that this kind of attack formation,

Speed ​​is very important, and being too careful will inevitably delay time. The troops in Wujia Province did not waste any time. You can imagine what the problem is.

Jiang Jie originally wanted Wu Jia Province to win with a slight advantage, but Yue Su's competition was really confusing. This was not a head-to-head contest, and there were hidden traps in the enemy's formation. If Wu Jia failed, the whole situation would be affected.

The province could only win cleanly. His victory made Jin Chan, Tie Qiu and Tong Zhou speechless, while Yue Su praised him greatly.

A heavy reward is indispensable, and there must also be punishment. Double the reward and double the punishment as agreed in advance. The previous punishment took a day and half of the night to complete, but this double punishment took two full days and two nights to complete.

On the third day, Yue Su gathered the participating troops, a total of four thousand. Yue Su selected three thousand elites from them and formed a battalion, which he personally commanded. The remaining troops were divided again.

This time, instead of dividing the front, middle and rear battalions into three, they were divided into five large camps. One battalion was set up at the foot of Feihukou Mountain with 4,000 soldiers and horses. It was responsible for managing the food and grass, with Tong Zhou in charge. The commanding heights camp had 4,000 soldiers.

The training will continue to be strengthened, with the deputy general taking charge of the army, but Yue Su left Li Zhong behind to assist here on Tuesday. The original front camp had five thousand soldiers and horses, under the control of Wujia Province. Another battalion was set up ten miles in front of the front camp, with

Four thousand soldiers and horses were handed over to Jin Chan's command. Yue Su personally led Tie Qiu, Jiang Jie and others, leading the three thousand elites at the forefront.

The purpose of Yue Su's arrangement was very simple. He wanted to adopt Jiang Jie's strategy and use himself as bait to lure out the rebels on the mountain. Yue Su didn't know the approximate number of how many rebels there were, but he

We know that there is absolutely no way that there are tens of thousands of people like what the outside world spreads. If there are really that many rebels on the mountain, they have already gone to fight in Beijing. How can they stay here? But looking at the camps left by the rebels, it is not possible.

It was as few as a thousand when they robbed the military pay. He and Jiang Jie did some analysis and estimated that the number of rebels should be around five thousand, no less than three thousand, no more than seven thousand.

The rebels are a mob after all. After two months of training, the three thousand soldiers and horses under Yue Su have not fought any tough battles, but at present, they are considered the elite among the elite. Fighting alone may not be able to defeat the rebels.

Bandits, but if they were to line up for a group fight, judging from the number of rebel bandits, it shouldn't be a problem.

But even if you use your body as bait, you can't take too many risks. After all, Mr. Yue is an important minister of the imperial court, so he led three thousand people deep into the army alone. What will happen if he is really dumped? These days, there is no phone call.

The communication equipment was very inconvenient. After thinking about it, we finally decided to march only forty miles a day and then set up camp on the spot. Five days later, Jin Chan led his troops to follow up on the original route and respond in case of emergency.

With the signal of wolf smoke and golden cicada, the Wu and Jia provincial troops immediately rushed to reinforce them, while the remaining two troops remained stationary.

Everything was arranged, and Yue Su sent out troops the next day. The forty-mile mountain road in one day was considered leisurely, but all the horses were left at the bottom of the mountain and were not led up. Because the road above was really difficult, even the rebels were retreating.

At that time, the horses and mule carts were all left behind, so we can also imagine what kind of roads they were like.

One-third of the three thousand elites led by Yue Su could shoot bows and arrows. The other soldiers were equipped with all kinds of equipment, including shields and shields. After setting off on the road, they walked for two consecutive days.

Oh my god, because they were walking on the right path, Yue Su found that this road was not particularly difficult. Even if he brought horses, he could still march.

But because of this, Yue Su began to wonder, why did the rebels leave all their horses and vehicles behind when they fled?

Jiang Jie quickly gave the answer to this question, "Sir, the reason why you don't bring horses and vehicles is probably very simple. If you bring these animals, you will definitely leave excrement along the way. Our army will follow them along the way, and there is a high probability of ***

Their whereabouts can be discovered. And there is another important point, that is, the place where the rebels are hiding must not be far away, but most likely it will be in a place where the road is difficult to pass."

After receiving Jiang Jie's answer, Yue Su looked around again. As Jiang Jie said, there are mountains and ridges in all directions. In some places, they are just small paths, and they even have to climb. It is difficult for people to walk. What's more,

Don't call it an animal.

The rebels should be hiding in places where the roads are difficult to travel, but Yue Su really didn't dare to look for them. He really encountered the rebels on the rugged hillside and beat them down with rolling logs and rocks. No matter how elite the soldiers were, they wouldn't be able to find them.

It's all in vain. I'm just luring the snake out of its hole, not seeking death.

So the troops continued to advance. The roads he took were all in relatively open areas where it was difficult to set up ambushes. He set up camp at night and looked for safe places. He walked for seven days in a row and found no trace of the rebels.

Reaching this position, Yue Su thought that he could not go any further. The rebels would definitely not escape that far. Going further was just for exercise. He ordered the troops to search within a radius of one mile.

Cicada's rear army does not need to follow up for the time being and is stationed on the spot.

Doing this is a bit of a joke, but it is also a last resort. As the governor of five provinces, I can't make fun of my life, so using this as bait is the maximum possible.

When Yue Su raised his troops, it was already autumn. He rushed to Lu'an, Shanxi Province and fought a battle. Then he returned to Feihukou and trained troops here for two months. It was now the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. During this season, he stayed in the Taihang Mountains.

Wasn't he looking for Dong? That night, he came to Jiang Jie alone to discuss what to do next. After all, spending time in the mountains in the winter was not a big deal. The officers and soldiers of the imperial court needed to practice, but there was no such thing.

Experience method.

Jiang Jie was Jiang Jie after all. As soon as he entered the tent, he came up with a clever plan to sew a piece of clothing without even waiting for Yue Su to speak.
