However, both Zhao Kuo and Sun Gu know that this trend is easy to come and hard to go. Perhaps only the blood on the battlefield can truly let them know what it means to maintain awe.

Of course, not all generals maintain an optimistic attitude. Several captains of the Northland Cavalry smelled something unusual. The army in the Northland has been fighting with foreign races all year round, and they have all emerged from blood and fire.

The "God of Killing" is naturally incompatible with Handan's army.

So several captains who felt a little strange bumped into each other unconsciously during the march.

You look at me and I look at you. Although I have doubts in my heart, I don’t know where to start.

A younger captain broke the embarrassment and said: "Brothers, I have some strange thoughts in my mind, and I don't want to express them. In the battle to Guanglang City, we should have used our troops quickly to take advantage of the Qin army's unstable foothold.

, chasing death to the north, rushing for hundreds of miles in one fell swoop, and we can defeat them in less than three days. But the general not only ordered us to pursue for thirty miles, but also ordered the infantry to build barriers along the way. Today, the army will have to repair for a day

.This is not..."

At this point, the captain stopped for a moment, which was regarded as his final respect for Zhao Kuo. But everyone knew that what the captain wanted to say was nothing more than "delaying the military plane".

Once someone raised his head, the generals, who were already full of questions, could no longer hold back their chatter.

"Not only that, the war is about to begin, but the general has not held a pre-battle meeting."

"Our army doesn't even know the direction of the main attack or the main attacking legion. We only know that the destination is Light Wolf City. It's a bit too random!" Another captain complained.

"What I'm talking about is that although the general did not summon us to discuss the battle of the barrier, he explained it in advance, and the subsequent orders were even more clear. But now, except that the target of the march is Light Wolf City, nothing else is known. Yes

Encirclement? Is it an encirclement of three and one missing? I don’t know what their respective tasks are.”

"However, and the whole army has no sense of urgency for a war, we and the Northern Army are doing well, but the army from Handan seems to think that Guanglang City is already in their pocket! This proud soldier is the way to defeat!"

"Fortunately, the general seems to be rectifying the situation, otherwise it might lead to a big disaster."

The generals nodded silently, and the depression in their hearts was somewhat relieved. At least the superiors still understood the importance and were not blinded by the temporary victory. However, the discussion of the war did not stop there.

"Gentlemen, please take a closer look at the strategic layout of our army. Being light in front and heavy in back does not look like an offensive arrangement at all, but more like a defensive arrangement."

"More than that, it stands to reason that when a large army goes out for an expedition, the cavalry should be guarded on both wings, and the central army should march in a flying geese or cone formation. But now, almost all of our northern cavalry are concentrated in the north, while most of the infantry are concentrated in the north.

Take the middle road and the south road, build a fortress while advancing, and arrive at Guanglang City. The Qin army has already been prepared." Another general said in confusion.

"There are also military rations. It is normal to distribute food and grass before a war. However, unless they are on an expedition as a partial division, the other battalions will not carry more than three days' worth of food and grass. But now they actually bring half a month's worth of food and grass. The military supplies in my camp are crazy.

I have never fought such a rich war, and my assistants are complaining because of the shortage of grain, carriages and horses!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, but it made the generals complain a little less. The Northern Army, who was used to seeing the wind, sand, bitter cold, and suffering from hunger in the north, would one day die because of too much food and grass.

trouble.

"Do you want to remind the general? After all, the general is still young. Perhaps he misestimated the Qin army's combat power because of the surprise attack on the barrier?" one person asked seriously.

After finishing speaking, the scene fell into silence again.

It's human nature. It's one thing to discuss and complain to each other, but it's completely another thing to report it to God and give opinions to the leader. What's more, this leader just said

He led them to take down the Qin army's fortress that they had not taken down for three years.

If you make suggestions at this time, let alone the leader, the saliva of the other soldiers will completely drown you.

"The general already wants General Sun Gu to rectify the camp style, and he is obviously aware of some problems."

"Of course! The general was unexpected. Perhaps there were other calculations in this battle, which prevented our army from wiping out the Light Wolf City in one fell swoop."

"That's right, that's right. Before the General came, did we ever think about being able to attack the Qin army's fortress? How could we defeat it in one battle? This was all the General's plan."

"That being the case, you must not make any further excuses, General. The matter of food and grass may not be as simple as imagined. It is said that the Chinese army did not leave a grain of food, and the grain officers have all been organized into battle orders. As for the formation of troops, General

It’s up to you to make your own arrangements.”

"Let us return to our respective camps, restrain our soldiers, prepare for a hard battle, and wait patiently for the general's orders!" an older captain concluded.

Everyone nodded, and a small military discussion between the northern (generation) generals came to an end. The captains then slowly dispersed, but a few more thoughtful ones found the captains with whom they were usually close, and asked them again.

Chatting again!

"The cavalry under your command did not suffer much loss, right?"

"It's okay! I lost more than a dozen cavalry during the pursuit. The armor has been repaired, but the horsepower is slightly insufficient. Where are your bow cavalry?"

"It's not bad, the preparation is complete!"

"How about the same old thing, I break through in the middle and you cover on both wings?"

"Um!"

Obviously, in just a few words, they had reached a consensus, and behind this simple exchange was more than ten years of knowledge and tacit cooperation in fighting the barbarians in Daidi.

Zhao Kuo was naturally aware of the doubts and worries of the generals, and some of them were indeed intentional by Zhao Kuo, such as the deployment of troops in front and back, and the pursuit of 30 miles, and the attack while building fortresses.

"Delaying military aircraft" was deliberately done by Zhao Kuo in order to preserve his strength.

But there were also problems that were beyond Zhao Kuo's expectation: such as the arrogance permeating the military camp.

Even when Zhao Kuo was killed, he did not expect that just a victory in the battle for the barrier would cause Zhao Jun, who had always been a little scared, to make a huge turn.

This is indeed something Zhao Kuo did not expect.

However, fortunately, Zhao Kuo ordered the army to recuperate for a day, and this day was enough for Zhao Kuo to do a lot of things, including correcting this arrogant trend, and it was also enough for the dedicated generals to slowly

Guess your own intentions.

Over the course of a day, the barriers on the west bank of Danshui were gradually repaired under Xu Li's strict orders; in the main camp, after minor repairs, hundreds of thousands of troops renovated the camp; in the mountains and forests to the north

In the middle, several Zhao Jun elites were still struggling to explore on the mountain paths; in Daliang Mountain, the Zhao Jun in the Bailishi Great Wall defense line also ceased their activities and became extraordinarily quiet...

Everything seemed to slow down for fear of disturbing the sleeping baby.
