Five hundred and ninetieth chapters ready to perform
It's just that teachers were respected in ancient times. Even if Tang Ao brought up the matter, as a student Ning Feng would not openly raise objections. But he did not mean to remain silent, but waited until the military meeting was over.
When they went to prepare, he took the initiative to stay and put forward his own ideas in front of Tang Ao.
Tang Ao was very pleased that Ning Feng was able to put forward different opinions, and he put them forward when there were no other people around. He didn't like to speak out, but valued the method of brainstorming. But sometimes, in order to achieve better results,
A greater victory, but we have to adopt the one-word approach.
"Ning Feng, you are very kind, and your opinions are very pertinent. Normally, this idea is correct. But this time, what I want to do is to inflict heavy losses on the Xiongnu, not just teach them a lesson, so I will continue.
We must take the offensive and seize the initiative on the battlefield. As for whether you are worried about whether taking the initiative to attack will cause us too much loss, haha, you can see clearly after we go to the battlefield tomorrow."
Although this explanation could not completely solve the puzzle, Ning Feng decided to take a look at it tomorrow. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he still believed in his teacher. After all, someone who can master arithmetic so well has such a careful and thoughtful mind.
How can I compare with myself?
Ning Feng withdrew, and Tang Ao turned around and went to the backyard of the county government office, where he saw three staff officers, Wei Chao, Ye Fan, and Lu Tianchi, surrounding a sand table and doing various calculations with rulers and pens.
As soon as Tang Ao appeared, the three of them stood up quickly and respectfully shouted "Hello, Dean".
As the dean of Longyuan, not only these three people, but at least nearly a thousand people call Tang Ao this way, he has become accustomed to it. Then he waved his hand casually and said: "How about you continue your work?
Is there a detailed result for tomorrow’s battle?”
"Dean, the results have just come out. We have made several changes and confirmed that there are no problems." The leader, Wei Chao, answered proactively, then pointed to the sand table and gave a detailed report to Tang Ao.
Staff officers, also known as combat staff officers, do not have the power to lead troops, but their consent is required for how the battle is fought. From this point of view, even the leading general must first obtain
You can only go to war with their permission, and they still have great power.
This is actually a way for Tang Ao to restrict the army. Generals can lead troops and go into battle, but they must obey the staff's instructions on how to fight. In this way, the following generals can be avoided to the greatest extent from being self-respecting.
question.
Don't look at the fact that all the generals of the Jizhou Army are very obedient and follow Tang Ao's lead. This is just because they have not seen a bigger scene, their vision is not broad enough, and they do not have many troops. Once
One day, if one of them can really lead a hundred thousand, or even hundreds of thousands or more troops, there will naturally be a large number of talented people below. If not enough, one of their confidants will propose the matter of independence. Just like in history
, Chen Qiao, Zhang Qiao mutiny, and the yellow robe, will there be less of it?
Tang Ao didn't want to be unreasonably suspicious of his generals, let alone send people to keep an eye on them, restrict their freedom, or control their families in his own hands. Doing so would only increase the distance between the two parties. That is, he didn't want to do any of these things.
, the emergence of a staff officer is very necessary.
At this time, Tang Ao listened to Wei Chao reporting the detailed battle plan, and from time to time Ye Fan and Lu Tianchi would supplement it. These three people were all students in the first staff class, and they were still the best among them. This time
Tang Ao brought them out because he wanted to use a combination of practice and theory to make them shine. As long as they win this time, other generals will accept them faster and better, and the banner of the staff will be
Stand upright.
Tang Ao, who nodded from time to time, listened very carefully and seemed to agree very much with the plan of the three staff officers. In fact, this was also the plan proposed by Tang Ao. On the way to the town and county, the three staff officers continued to improve it until
After arriving at the town and county and seeing the terrain for myself, I came up with the final plan.
Compared with the busy or well-organized situation in Zhenxian City, there was a sense of chaos in the Xiongnu camp outside the city.
The reinforcements from the Jizhou Army arrived, and Ye Bushou, who had been released, said that the number of reinforcements coming this time was about 60,000. When they heard this number, the faces of the Hun generals became very ugly.
When they had 30,000 soldiers fighting against more than 20,000 Jizhou troops before, they didn't take much advantage. Now that their troops are far superior to theirs, how can they continue this battle?
Han Sui also came back, wandering around Jizhou like a headless fly until he encountered his own night, which made it easy for him to retreat back through the forest trail. At this time, he was standing in the tent talking about
The history of the Jizhou Army Cavalry Battle.
When they heard that the Jizhou cavalry were invulnerable and that the bright silver spears in their hands were so sharp that they could cut iron like mud, almost all the Huns generals became silent.
The Huns are good at fighting, and their horse control skills are particularly good. These are their advantages, which are also the strengths brought to them by the environment in which they grew up. But at the same time, they are also aware of their own shortcomings, that is, underdeveloped society, poverty, and especially lack of
iron.
When the Huns regarded iron pots as a good thing, it would be no less than a fantasy to ask them to make more sophisticated weapons.
It's just that their weapons are crude, but compared to the Han people, they are only a little different, not much. But listening to Han Sui's description, compared with the weapons, this weapon is not a little bit worse, but a lot worse. What does this mean?
If they want to win the war, they need to spend more lives, which is obviously something that no one wants to see.
As the leader of this march, Bu Jie naturally saw everyone's concerns, and couldn't help but feel anxious. This battle had not even started in earnest, and the morale of the army had been severely damaged. How could we win next?
Bu Jie, who wanted to change the situation, said: "Well, the Han people's iron weapons are much stronger than ours. This is a fact, and we have been prepared before. But no matter how sharp the weapons are, in the final analysis, they still have to be
It depends on whether the warriors holding weapons are strong enough. You might as well think about it, if we win this battle, wouldn’t all those sharp weapons be used by us? By then we will have the best warriors in the world, and we will have
Armed with the sharpest weapons in the world, who will be our opponent at that time?"
When Bu Jie opened his mouth, the generals' eyes immediately lit up. Yes, weapons are dead and people are alive. We can definitely defeat the enemy and snatch it from their hands. At that time, their biggest shortcoming is
Without it, who in the world can compete with it at that time?
"Defeat them, and those sharp weapons will be ours." Qiao Tai of the Qiao family saw Bu Jie's intention, and took the initiative to speak up.
"Yes, grab them." After the other generals reacted, they also spoke one after another.
Seeing that the morale of the army had recovered, Bu Jiechang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This time the main force of the Jizhou Army has arrived, and I think they will not hold the city tightly. In this way, we will take the initiative to retreat ten miles now to leave the opponent with enough space."
, as long as the Jizhou Army is willing to get out of the city gate, it will be our time to show off in the field battle."
Taking the initiative to retreat is not only a temptation, but also a means to prevent the Jizhou Army from stealing the camp. The night attack last night scared the Huns. When they knew that the Jizhou Army did not have night blindness, they began to fear the dark night.
.
"Haha, in a field battle, the Han people are no match." After hearing this, all the generals looked like laughing. For those who didn't know, they thought they had already won a great victory.
The Xiongnu meeting also reached an agreement, that is, to retreat proactively and lure the Jizhou Army out of the city to fight. In this way, they can exert their greatest strength and have the opportunity to severely damage the Jizhou Army and win the final victory of the war.
In this way, the Xiongnu army retreated, and this retreat was ten miles away. When the scouts sent back the news, they had just had time to rest. Wei Chao and other three staff officers who were having dinner put down their bowls and chopsticks and began to re-formulate the battle plan.
.
In fact, the plan is already ready, it is just to move forward ten miles. But according to Tang Ao's instructions, the staff must learn to adapt to changes and follow the changes of the opponent at all times to ensure that they have the most detailed understanding of the war at all times.
to develop a military plan that is more consistent with the current situation.
That night, the three staff members were busy. Just before the sun rose the next day, a reworked battle plan was placed on the bedside of Tang Ao, who had just woken up. Then they called the generals for a meeting, and then
It didn't take long before the assembled troops left the south gate one after another and marched towards the designated locations.
When the south gate was opened, the north gate was also opened. The first to come out were the three thousand Shanshan Guards. They lined up in a neat line and were responsible for the early warning mission.
On the top of the city tower, Tang Ao was wearing a special golden armor, watching the teams walking out of the city one after another, and forming a neat queue to gather outside the city.
Three thousand chariot battalions, four thousand firearms battalions, 6,000 reorganized Guzhou troops, and 10,000 reserves each escorted more than a thousand previously captured Huns cavalry, including Qiao Xiong, who had already regained consciousness, and gathered in front of the city.
After the team all walked out, Tang Ao followed the two hundred Han generals (Jiang Guards) on horseback out of the city. During this process, there were Xiongnu figures wandering around in the distance, but they did not take any further action. Obviously,
They wanted to see what the Jizhou Army was going to do.
The three staff officers Wei Chao, Ye Fan and Lu Tianchi who followed Tang Ao out of the city couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the armies leaving the city safely. They were worried that the Huns would attack them halfway. If the Jizhou army could not be allowed to leave the city, then
All the battle plans made before will be useless. Now, now that the army has left the city, it is time for them to perform.
