"When marching and fighting, the most taboo thing is to stick to established laws and act according to military manuals. It should be noted that if you have military manuals, others also have them. Only those with deep understanding can gain the upper hand. I read more than 80 military manuals, but in the end I only remembered one sentence, that
It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as invading as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the clouds, and as moving as thunder. This sentence does not tell us how to deploy tactics, because no tactics are static, as long as the above are done
At what time, and then formulate appropriate tactics based on the Three Talents, you can gain the advantage..." Li Qianmo talked endlessly about the art of war on the stage, and the soldiers in the audience listened with interest. In addition to admiration, Tatamu at this moment
He had already lowered his head and said nothing, and had no words to talk to Li Qianmo anymore.
When Li Qianmo finished speaking, some soldiers suddenly shouted: "We are willing to let Li Qianmo be our military advisor and lead us to defeat the Kusang tribe!"
"Yes! Military Advisor Li Qianmo, please lead us to defeat the Kusang tribe!"
…
One person shouted, and the others immediately responded. The school grounds were filled with excited cheers, and all the soldiers asked Li Qianmo to be their military advisor.
When they had shouted enough, Li Qianmo raised his hand to calm them down and said with a smile: "Okay, from now on, I will be your military advisor." After saying that, he turned to look at Chief Hairuo and said, "Chief Hairuo, please
Give me the military talisman."
Hai Ruo hesitated for a moment, then took out the military talisman from his arms and handed it to Li Qianmo. Li Qianmo took it in his hand, looked at it, raised it high, and said loudly: "The military talisman is here. The three armies obey the order. From today on, everyone must
Listen to my orders, everyone must know that military orders are like mountains, and the army must be run with strict discipline. Anyone who disobeys military orders will be killed!"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers on the field were shocked and looked at each other in confusion.
Li Qianmo put away the military symbols and said loudly again: "Twelve thousand captains, please come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, twelve people immediately walked out of the queue, stood in a row, and said in unison: "Please give me the military advisor's orders!"
Li Qianmo glanced at them, nodded and said, "Please state your names."
The twelve people were stunned for a moment, and then reported their names one by one. The names of the Baima people were rather strange, but Li Qianmo remembered them all after hearing them once.
After they finished reporting their names, Li Qianmo took out twelve tiger teeth from his arms, walked down the platform, came to them, and distributed the tiger teeth to them one by one.
Although the twelve thousand captains felt it was baffling, they still took it and looked carefully. They found that these tiger teeth were all engraved with characters, and all the characters were different. Together they were "Zichou Yinmao..." That's twelve.
The name of the hour.
"Commander, what do these tiger teeth mean?" A captain was really curious and couldn't help but ask.
Li Qianmo smiled and replied: "This is my homemade tiger tooth order. Each tiger tooth order is unique. You must remember the words on the tiger tooth order you hold. When I give orders, I will use these words.
Do you understand?"
"Got it!" everyone responded in unison.
"Okay!" Li Qianmo turned around and waited for him to go up to the high platform and said loudly, "Everyone, go back and rest first. Wait until noon and come here to practice. If anyone is late, he will be punished with a cane and dismissed!"
"Yes!" Everyone was ordered to disperse, and within a moment, only Li Qianmo and Patriarch Hairuo were left in the huge campus.
Chief Hairuo glanced at Li Qianmo and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you would have such profound insights into the art of war after only reading the military book for one day. I am really impressed."
Li Qianmo smiled shamefully, shook his head and said, "Actually, I was just talking on paper. Real tactics must be obtained from actual combat. Chief Hairuo, I have one more thing to ask of you."
Hai Ruo spread his hands and said, "Military advisor, please speak."
Li Qianmo said: "I already know the strength of the nobles, but I don't know how many weapons the nobles have. Can you count them for me?"
Hai Ruo sighed bitterly when he heard this: "No need to count, our clan doesn't have many weapons. They were all in everyone's hands just now. There are only hundreds of thousands of arrows left in the arsenal, and there are still ten
We have a small cannon and ammunition is very limited, so we have been reluctant to use it."
Li Qianmo nodded and asked, "What about the food and grass?"
"You don't have to worry about food and grass." Hai Ruo laughed when he heard this, "Our clan has enough food and grass to last until winter, and we also have more than a thousand cattle and sheep in reserve, which is enough."
"Well, that's good." Li Qianmo nodded and said, "There is a saying that soldiers and horses should go ahead with food and grass before they move. Although food and grass are logistics, they can be said to be a crucial factor in determining the war. You must have enough reserves."
Hai Ruo stroked his beard and praised, "If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were a battle-hardened general."
Li Qianmo smiled faintly and did not comment.
Hai Ruo chatted with him for a few more words, and when it was lunch time, he invited Li Qianmo to have dinner with him. Li Qianmo said he had something to do, so he declined. Hai Ruo couldn't force himself and left alone.
At noon, the soldiers all finished their lunch and gathered in the school field.
After entering the school ground, they were stunned. They saw many large circles drawn on the ground of the school ground. There were also words in the circles. Some said "Dui", some said "Hom", and some said "Gui Mei".
", the words in each circle are different, there are about fifty or sixty of them, distributed on the huge school grounds.
The soldiers were very curious about these white circles on the ground and started talking about them one after another. At this time, Li Qianmo shouted loudly from the high platform: "Noon is here, the drill begins, with a thousand people in a team, forming twelve teams!"
The soldiers below immediately moved quickly and formed twelve teams based on the twelve thousand captains.
Li Qianmo walked down the neatly organized team and said solemnly: "Listen, everyone, from today on, you must forget the previous formation and use the current formation as the standard. Whichever team you stand in will belong to which commander.
From now on, the name of each team will be replaced by the Tiger Tooth Order. Now, the training begins! Team Yin will have a great place!"
"Ah?" The captain of the Yin team was stunned for a moment. Then he realized what he was doing and immediately led a thousand people on the school field to look for the circle with the word "Dayou" written on it. After searching for a long time, he finally found it and dragged his way over.
Li Qianmo frowned and shouted: "It's too slow. If you were on the battlefield, you would have been killed by the enemy's spear!"
Everyone in Team Yin was scolded by him and lowered their heads.
Li Qianmo continued to direct: "The sub-unit leader's position!"
The captain of the sub-unit hurriedly led everyone to find a position, and then ran over quickly.
Unexpectedly, Li Qianmo still frowned and shouted: "It's still too slow. You must remember the sixty-four positions on the school field, and you must keep them in your heart. When the war breaks out, there will be no such circles and words on the battlefield.
Remind you, did you hear me?"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
The drill continued, and Li Qianmo continued to direct each thousand-man team to change positions. Each time the landing point must be on the sixty-four hexagrams, they continued to practice from noon until the sun went down. The soldiers gradually became more and more skilled at placing these hexagrams on the ground.
I also remember roughly.
The content of the training on the second day was the same, and on the third day it was the same. When the soldiers came to the school field on the fourth day, they found that the ground was empty and the circles were no longer visible. From today on, Li Qianmo asked them to do what they wanted.
The recorded hexagram position changes position.
After these three days of practice, the soldiers had already memorized these hexagram positions, no longer procrastinated when moving, and were in position accurately.
But Li Qianmo was not satisfied, and his requirements for them became more and more demanding, and he began to change the size of the battlefield. After all, no one knew how big the battlefield would be during the war, and it could not be exactly as big as the school field.
In this way, it would be difficult for the commanders, because they had to calculate the positions of the sixty-four hexagrams based on the size of the battlefield after Li Qianmo issued an order. They did not have the wisdom of Li Qianmo, which was very important to them.
It’s really too difficult to say.
Fortunately, practice makes perfect. After more than ten days, they actually adapted to it. Li Qianmo gradually smiled and was very satisfied with their performance. His battle formation was now completed.
It had been twenty days since the Kusang tribe’s envoy left, and the Kusang tribe’s army had not yet been discovered. On the twenty-first day, a fast horse rushed into the Baima tribe’s camp and went directly to the camp of Chief Hairuo.
Report: "The scouts ahead report urgently that the Kusang tribe's vanguard army of 50,000 people has crossed White Tiger Hill and is heading towards us quickly."
"We're finally here!" Hai Ruo's expression changed upon hearing this, he stood up suddenly and asked in a stern voice, "How far is it?"
The person who reported the news replied: "Back to the clan leader, according to their speed, it is estimated that they are less than 500 miles away from us now."
"Five hundred miles?" Hai Ruo frowned and muttered after hearing this, "If it's five hundred miles, if we march fast enough, we can arrive there in one day." At this point, he ordered loudly, "Go and inform the military advisor!"
"Yes!" The messenger took the order and retreated.
Not long after, Li Qianmo came to Hai Ruo's camp. As soon as the two met, Hai Ruo immediately said in a hurry: "Military advisor, Kusang's army is coming."
"I know." Li Qianmo replied with a faint smile, "That's why I came to you to tell you that I am going to go on an expedition with the army."
"Go to war?" Hai Ruo stared and exclaimed, "Aren't we defending? Why are we going to war?"
"Defense?" Li Qianmo shook his head and said with a smile, "There are no city buildings on this grassland. How to defend? If you want to win, you must win by surprise. It is precisely because the enemy did not expect us to take the initiative to attack that we can catch them off guard."
Hai Ruo thought for a while after hearing this, nodded and murmured: "It sounds reasonable, do you have any countermeasures?"
"Not yet." Li Qianmo didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said calmly, "The current plan is to take the initiative to attack them. They are exhausted from the long march, so we are just waiting for work. We just caught them by surprise. With my clever formation, it's just a matter of time."
Fifty thousand people are nothing to fear."
Hai Ruo was dumbfounded when he heard this. He really didn't know why Li Qianmo had so much confidence and actually said that an army of 50,000 people was not something to be afraid of. He really suspected that this was bragging, but now that the matter was over, there was no turning back. He
Now that I have chosen Li Qianmo, I can only trust him, gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, go ahead and win the battle beautifully!"
Li Qianmo smiled lightly and nodded, cupping his hands and saying, "Then I'll take my leave." After saying that, he left the camp and ordered all the soldiers to assemble in the school field and prepare to go out.
