Chapter three hundred and ninety-ninth difficult to know
"The poem is a work of art with a profound meaning, and no one who comes after it will be able to understand its meaning."
Mingduyuan, where the emperor and his party were going incognito, is located south of Balingyuan. The long water flowing out of the Qinling Mountains in the south crosses the mountains and enters the Guanzhong Plain, where it merges into the river and flows through a beautiful bend.
. Over time, the water here eroded, the sediment accumulated, the river channel was cut and straightened, and the river bend became an oxbow lake, just like a beautiful woman's slender eyebrow.
Even in autumn, this place is also rare for abundant water and grass. Field mice that collect food and wild boars that like to wallow in the mud are rolling around in the fields. Water birds and wild ducks fly gracefully, hiding in the reeds to hunt and rest, and occasionally plunder.
There were splashes and ripples across the water.
This was a lively scene of flocks of birds and beasts gathering in the past, but today, all beasts have spirits, and they have faintly sensed the chilling meaning in the autumn wind, and have already cleverly avoided it. This inlet is silent,
Quietly, only the reeds were swaying and bending, carrying snow-like fluff to the passing wind.
The horse under his crotch inhaled the fluff and couldn't help sneezing. His nostrils were wide open and he breathed heavily. The brave-looking knight impatiently pulled the reins and pushed the horse's head away, like a pair of eagles.
His eyes looked over the surrounding fields.
"The enemy's baggage hasn't arrived yet?" Pound led his horse and stood on the hillside, his tall body disappearing and appearing in the grass half a man tall. He looked down and saw the land covered with withered grass slowly tilting to the south.
, stretching into the reeds in the distance: "Is this really the place where food must be transported?"
Ma Dongheng, who followed Pang De all the way from Bingzhou to conquer the country, whispered in a low voice: "Back to the general, yes! We have already seen the map of the sand table clearly. The river bend below is indeed the nearest one. According to the generals' decision in advance
According to previous information, the 'enemy's' camp has very little food and grass, and 'reinforcements' will be sent at any time to transport 'food and grass', and this road is the nearest one!"
"Okay." Pound stretched out his hand and touched the horse's muzzle, as if to appease its troubled behavior. He said to himself: "As long as the 'grain and grass' are intercepted, the turtle shells of Zhao Yun and Wu Kuang will be taken away."
Defeat without a fight!"
Seeing that Pang De was serious about what he said, Dong Heng seemed to regard Zhao Yun's infantry battalion and Yan Yan's Shesheng battalion, both from the Northern Army, as enemies. He was a little afraid that Pang De would get too involved in the drama and make the fake show come true, so he
He couldn't help but said: "General, this is just a 'drill'. There is no victory or defeat, advance or retreat. You only need to complete the deployment according to the military orders passed by the middle base camp. The military calls it 'acting',
As long as you don't make any mistakes, why bother, General?"
Pound's face darkened, and he turned around and cursed: "I don't care whether it's a 'drill' or an 'acting'. As long as you treat this as a battlefield, wear armor and ride horses, you have to be more dignified!"
Dong Heng opened his mouth to conclude, but was speechless for a moment.
But I heard Pang De continue to say: "At this moment, it is like two armies are fighting, and each is led by the same person. The infantry, the second battalion of Shesheng is in charge of the defense, the Changshui, the second battalion of the cavalry is in charge of the attack, his middle base camp is the center army, and General Gao is in charge.
The commander-in-chief gives orders to both of us. If we fight against each other, we really only need to act according to the orders. But when we are out on the battlefield, the enemy's situation is ever-changing, and if we encounter any unexpected events, we have to choose the opportunity to fight. How can we blindly do so?
Are you just following orders? If you are able to make decisions and win in any situation, then you are a great general! Otherwise, you will be a small school who only takes orders from others for the rest of your life!"
After hearing these words, Dong Heng felt a burning pain on his face as if he had been stung by a wasp, but he knew that Pang De was giving good advice. If he was not regarded as a confidant, why would he say anything? He immediately knelt down on one knee.
Next, he bowed to Pound with a heartfelt clasp of fists.
Pang De was really bored with waiting, so he casually said these words to Dong Heng. In fact, these words were also what he had been feeling recently. The emperor, Huangfu Song and other senior generals worked hard to develop a new method of actual military exercises.
The training method is not just to let the soldiers from the various schools of the Northern Army closely cooperate with the Chinese army's orders to complete various tactical battle formations to the level of being able to command them like an arm. It is also to make every general and colonel who participates in person familiar with battlefield tactics and know how to do it.
Under different circumstances on the same battlefield, as a frontline general, how should you respond correctly?
This is not training soldiers, but training generals!
"Zhao Zilong from the infantry battalion must have thought this too, right?" Pang De thought of something and muttered to himself: "After all, it was the soldiers brought out by Xu Gongming."
Under the gate of a large camp in the north, an auxiliary soldier stood guard by the gate doing nothing, watching from time to time the egrets circling in the distance and landing on the long and gentle river beach. He thought to himself, if he had nothing to do, he would
In a good place, you have to crawl by the river and use ropes to set up a few traps.
"Hey!" Shang Hong, who was also an auxiliary soldier on duty at the camp gate and stood opposite him, suddenly called out: "What are you thinking? If the people in the center come and see us, they will laugh at our auxiliary soldiers for being useless."
"It's useless." The man was completely fearless and even rolled his eyes and said disapprovingly: "Do you think they think of us as the Northern Army? In their eyes, I'm just digging ditches and transporting food.
The civilian men were sent to check on the door when there was a shortage of men. That was all. This time during the exercise, it was not their battalions that stole the show. It was just me and other auxiliary battalions who did some digging, and sometimes even went out to help
They built camps... I see, auxiliary soldiers are auxiliary soldiers, and if they join the Northern Army, that's it!"
"How can you think like this?" Shang Hong looked at him with hatred, his tone was firm, just like his Shen Yi face: "Even if we are auxiliary soldiers, we are the first-class auxiliary soldiers in the world. If we are released, then
They are also stronger than ordinary county soldiers. We have not yet gone out to fight. When the war starts and there are casualties in the army, it is natural for us to add reinforcements! How can you not see this? "
The man's face turned red. He was speaking indiscriminately just now. Now he was speechless and said: "I, I..."
Shang Hong was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from outside the camp gate. Before he could react, he saw a strong general in front, with hundreds of capable knights behind, surrounded by arrows and an extraordinary temperament.
The young man and several scribes rushed out from the end of the field of vision, flew along the road, and headed straight for the military camp without slowing down at all.
When the Northern Army was training here, they would always notify the local pavilion chief Li Zheng in advance, asking him to restrain the villagers and not get close. In addition, this place is remote, and few people come to watch the fun, so a group of people rush into each other in such a grand manner like today.
This is the first time the camp has appeared.
"Who is coming!" Shang Hong was the first to recover from the shock. He dodged and stood behind the shaft door nailed together with logs. Since he had no bow and arrows, he had no choice but to pick up the spear in his hand and lean back slightly. Then.
Like a tight bow, it suddenly straightened, and the spear in his hand accurately passed through the gap between the railings, drew a long arc in the air, and nailed the uninvited guests hard.
in front of me.
"Huh!" The man on the opposite side, who was as strong as a brown bear, grabbed his mount in time. The mount under him was also well-trained. It didn't panic at all, and could stop at any time.
The other more than a hundred knights also reined in their horses and stopped. The scene was busy but not chaotic, with orders and prohibitions being followed and silence. The mere number of more than a hundred cavalry gave people the impression of a thousand troops.
"You are not allowed to trespass in the important area of the military camp!" Shang Hong heard the sound of orderly footsteps coming from behind him, and the voice was heavy. He knew that this was the middle base soldiers in heavy armor who had rushed to hear the news. He felt more confident and took advantage of the news.
Taking this opportunity, he said to the group of generals and servants in front of him who seemed to be hunting with the high-ranking disciples: "If there is no imperial edict, no one of you can ignore the military order! You will dismount immediately and wait for your fate!"
The majestic man stared at Shang Hong with a very intimidating look. He didn't make any move, but he scared Shang Hong back unconsciously. Seeing this, the man chuckled lightly and moved his horse to the side.
"Yes, Gao Shun is rigorous in his military management, which is evident!" The handsome young man among them, who was favored by the stars, straightened his back and sat on the horse. He sighed and said, "This does have a bit of Xiliu Camp's style."
