After the cavalry left, Di Xin and Xizi got into the carriage. Laifu, who had been waiting, gently pulled the reins and drove the carriage into Yanque Pass and back to the General's Mansion.
In the carriage, Di Xin thought about the performance of the Flying Tiger Army today.
After more than a month of training, although the three thousand cavalry have not yet formed combat capabilities and can only be used to scare people, and training in all aspects needs to continue, there is one thing they have done very well.
That is the collective concept.
Didn’t you see that on the Blue Star in Di Xin’s previous life, almost all the armies of all countries had their own military formations, paces, etc., but one thing was the same, that is, no matter how large the country’s army was, they must form a neat square formation.
As one.
Collective concern can enhance the sense of belonging of the soldiers in the team, and they are more willing to exert more strength for the team. Although a team has thousands of people, it can be as unified as one person, and it is possible to become a team.
The teacher of the king.
This was something Emperor Xin mentioned emphatically when he promoted Yu Shao to the general of the Flying Tiger Army. Obviously Yu Shao took it to heart and regarded it as an important point.
From gathering to departure, training and the way back, although the performance of the cavalry was a little immature, everyone was trying their best to maintain the integrity of the entire team, even a few people who accidentally broke bones during training.
"Your Highness."
Xizi's voice drew Di Xin's attention away from the cavalry.
Di Xin opened his eyes and looked at Xi Zi's beautiful face: "What's the matter?"
Perhaps because he did not dare to look at Di Xin, Xizi turned his gaze away slightly and asked the doubt he had buried in his heart for a long time: "Your Highness, is this help to those envoys?"
"That's right." Di Xin nodded.
"We just let the cavalry leave the barracks for training and did not confront the Turkic army. How...how can we help those envoys?"
Xizi thought he could understand it, but he is still confused.
Di Xin laughed.
There is also talk of force deterrence in the Ancient Moon Realm, but the so-called force deterrence in the Ancient Moon Realm is to move the army forward and tell you that I have so many people, and if you don't obey, I will beat you.
Although it has certain uses, the effects vary depending on the individual.
And that's it, the concept of "military exercises" has not yet been born in the Ancient Moon World.
On the Blue Star of Di Xin's previous life, due to the existence of nuclear deterrence, powerful countries rarely went to war with each other, so in order to increase their voice, they came up with various ways to show their strength.
One of them is "military exercises".
To put it simply, it is to pull the army to your own defense line, divide it into several teams and fight on your own. Of course, it is not a real fight. Then in the process, you will continue to demonstrate your advanced weapons and new tactics.
It can also be described as a large-scale show, and the audience is all countries except yourself.
This is what Di Xin is doing now, but he also added bluffing.
After listening to Di Xin's explanation, Xizi's pupils dilated, his mouth opened slightly, and he was stunned.
It turns out you can still play like this.
Xizi murmured to himself in disbelief: "Just show off your strength like this, and you don't even have to fight, and you can actually scare the opponent?"
"Yes, when the Turkic scouts discovered that there was a murderous cavalry at the border of Dali, they passed the news back. Should they attack Dali, which had become stronger, or withdraw after taking advantage of it? What do you think of those small tribes?
What will you choose?"
Di Xin chuckled softly, his words full of confidence.
This is also the reason why the Flying Tiger Army is used. The Flying Leopard Army and the Turks have been fighting for many years, and they already know each other. If the Flying Leopard Army is used, the effect of the exercise may not be achieved.
In the following days, the Flying Tiger Army would appear from time to time at the junction of Dali and Turke, which is fifty miles away from Yanque Pass, and conduct "military exercises."
Sometimes it's charge training, sometimes it's a forced march, and sometimes it's just a walk around and then back.
The reason for the irregular timing is to prevent the Turks from setting up an ambush, and the number of people in the Flying Tiger Army's exercises is different every time, with the highest number even exceeding 6,000.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Flying Tiger Army to double its size in just a few days. Those extra men were all borrowed from the Flying Leopard Camp.
Wearing the uniforms of the Flying Tiger Army and holding up the Flying Tiger Army's chess piece, they are temporarily soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army.
This method was proposed by Xizi who opened the door to the new world after thinking about it for the first time during a "military exercise".
The goal is to further confuse the Turks so that they cannot prepare to know how many people there are in the new Flying Tiger Army in Dali.
It has to be said that this effect was extremely good. The people of Gu Yue Realm didn't know what "military exercises" were, and they were shocked at that time.
In addition, Yanque Pass has not stopped the caravan trade until now, and the city gate is still open at Youguan. Except for the frequent mobilization of troops, it seems that the Turks have not invaded the south.
Under the guidance of the envoy secretly photographed at Yanque Pass, a theory quickly spread among the Turkic army.
There are many soldiers at Dali Border Pass, and they are not afraid of the Turks invading southward. The Turkic army cannot attack Yanque Pass at all, and can only waste manpower and food in vain, and will also miss the last grazing time...
Barabara.
There are various theories, but the core point is that the Turkic army's southern invasion this time is destined to outweigh the gains.
With this statement, those small tribes who were still hesitating accepted the kindness of the envoys from Yanque Pass and agreed to accept the grain before withdrawing from the southern invasion and returning to the depths of the grassland.
As the first tribe gave some food to the Ashina tribe and retreated with their own troops, the tribes who were still waiting and watching saw that there were no serious consequences, so they all began to follow suit. Some tribes that had no choice even took the initiative to find Yan
The envoy from Queguan promised to retreat as long as they were given food.
The news came back to Yanque Pass, and Emperor Xin agreed to the matter, but the food of these tribes was only half of that of other tribes.
So in less than half a month, the Turkic army was reduced by more than half.
The Ashina tribe tried to investigate the envoys at Yanque Pass, but under the cover of the small tribes that had benefited, there was basically no progress in the investigation.
Within the Ashina tribe, with the loss of 20,000 troops, most people are actually unwilling to invade the south. They have to do so because of food shortages, but now the food sent by other tribes is basically enough for the tribe to tide over the difficulties.
, so the southern invasion seems less necessary.
Slowly, there were voices within Ashina Ministry that they would withdraw their troops.
It was at this time that the last group of envoys from Yanque Pass also set off.
