"Wen Ze, please order three thousand troops and horses, and together with Wuji, serve as Ziyi's deputy generals, and go to Qingzhou to rescue the siege." Wang Yu didn't just talk, after receiving Tai Shici's answer, he immediately made arrangements.
"...Here." Yu Jin and Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, but in the end they didn't raise any questions. They didn't understand the reason why Wang Yu did this, but judging from past experience, Wang Yu would not joke about major military events.
"Zi Yi, do you still need to prepare?" Wang Yu turned to Tai Shi Ci, who had not yet fully woken up from the shock. He looked at Wang Yu blankly for a long time before he woke up and shook his head, "
No need, you can be on your way now."
"Very good." Wang Yu waved his hand and asked the three generals to leave on their own and prepare to send troops.
Taishi Ci followed Yu Jin in confusion, and the house fell into silence. After a while, Xu Huang slowly said: "My Lord, do you like this man's bravery? But, using this method... isn't it a bit too risky?"
"It's not really an adventure." Wang Yu smiled calmly and said, "If Wen follows, what kind of trouble can he cause? Anyway, a certain person was originally going to send troops to rescue him, so now he can kill two birds with one stone."
"My lord is saying..."
Xu Huang nodded, but the suspicion in his brows still lingered: "This man has a rather unruly temperament. Huang thought that he seemed to have the intention of provoking the lord to fight and taking the opportunity to make a name for himself. However, when he heard that the lord ordered him to lead the army, Xu Huang nodded.
The order, but with such a demeanor...the words and deeds are inconsistent, there may be some reasons for this."
Huang Zhong also echoed: "Gong Ming is right, Lord, there are many people who are hostile to our army now. Although this person has brought Kong Beihai's documents, we must be on guard."
It's no wonder that the second general was worried. Throughout the ages, there have been countless ways to recruit talents, but it has never been heard of being entrusted with the responsibility of commanding thousands of armies at the first meeting. And the one who was recruited agreed directly without asking any questions.
This is unreasonable!
Xu Huang and Huang Zhong thought to themselves that if it were them, and if Wang Yu used this trick as soon as they met, they would definitely wonder if Wang Yu was crazy, and then they would want to quit.
But even though Tai Shici was taken aback, he agreed happily, and his change of attitude was very natural. Who would believe that he had no evil intentions?
Wang Yu believed it.
He was feeling proud in his heart. Taishi Ci was the most difficult and easiest to conquer among the powerful generals of the Three Kingdoms.
Sun Ce's process of subduing him was full of twists and turns, including fighting face to face in the battle formation and capturing the opponent. In the end, Tai Shici also set up a test.
He asked for orders to recruit Liu Yao's remnant army, but Sun Ce's right and left officials advised Sun Ce not to agree, for fear that Taishi Ci would never return. However, Sun Ce resisted all opinions and agreed, and finally won Taishi Ci's allegiance.
Having spent so much effort and trouble shows how much personality and pride Taishi Ci had.
However, from another perspective, Taishi Ci was actually very proactive when it came to serving as an official.
He was also a young man named Ren Xia, who offended the powerful, so he avoided trouble because Kong Rong helped take care of his mother, so when Kong Rong was in trouble, he helped Kong Rong.
This incident itself is normal. The important point is that after he saw Kong Rong and informed his identity, he immediately asked for orders to go to war. Asking for orders to go to war should mean that he took the initiative to serve.
In fact, Kong Rong took care of his mother with the intention of recruiting him. However, he was a great Confucian of the time and was surrounded by the aura of his ancestor Kong Lao Er. He had long been accustomed to the implicit Confucian way of doing things.
There has to be a process for surrendering something. As a result, he was frightened by Taishi Ci's extreme approach of not requiring foreplay and getting straight to the point, so he directly rejected Taishi Ci's request.
Taishi Ci was not discouraged if he could not obtain military power. He asked for orders again to use his personal power to break out of the encirclement and ask for help. He was determined not to give up until his goal was achieved. This time Kong Rong had no choice but to agree. This young man's life was his own.
, can he still stop him from letting me go?
Wang Yu didn't pay much attention to it when he first read the novel, but after living and fighting in this era for nearly a year, he suddenly discovered that the characters in the novel were not far away. When he thought about the deeds of these people, he discovered a lot
, very interesting stuff.
What Taishi Ci did in Beihai was exactly the same as what he did in Mengjin... In a critical situation, if you ask for military power, or if you don't have it, you will go it alone. In other words, Taishi Ci has never been trained by special forces or assassins.
Training, otherwise, if the guarantee is not complete, he will go and assassinate Guan Hai.
Later, Taishi Ci ran to Jiangdong to join Liu Yao. Sun Ce killed him across the river and was unstoppable. He lost consecutive battles on the front line. So Taishi Ci asked for a battle again, but he was also rejected.
Taishi Ci had just arrived, and he had no direct followers, and Liu Yao was not a courageous person. It was normal to be rejected. The key lies in the back. This time, he acted alone again. What was slightly better than in Beihai was that he had more
Now that I have an assistant, I no longer have to work alone.
All in all, when Wang Yu looked back on Taishi Ci's life, he felt like he was seeing an ancient version of himself.
Wang Yu knew himself and what he wanted. It couldn't be easier to satisfy Taishi Ci. He just had to put himself in his shoes and think about it. So, he directly hit Taishi Ci with a big pie from the leader and knocked him unconscious.
.
Thinking about it, Wang Yu only had one question: what happened when Taishi Ci met Liu Bei?
Ordinarily, with Liu Bei's style, when seeing such a fierce man, shouldn't he try his best to win over him? At this moment, Taishi Ci is very proactive. No matter how you think about it, it will be the result of hitting it off. Could it be that Taishi Ci still hopes to return to Beihai to claim credit?
Not rewarded?
"Don't worry, Wen is here, nothing unexpected will happen. If my prediction is correct, Ziyi will not stay in the Chinese army for too long after the expedition. With his temper, he should prefer to stay with Wuji's forwards.
Together."
A foreigner, no matter how capable he is, cannot get the command of an army and exercise it immediately. He can't even recognize the generals, can't read the flags, and doesn't have enough sources of intelligence. How can he talk about commanding the army?
?
The title he gave Taishi Ci was just a nominal general title. The Taishan Army advanced lightly and marched very fast. If Taishi Ci wanted to give orders, he could only go through Yu Jin. If he wanted to rebel, it was impossible to pull the troops away.
So, what's there to worry about?
Even if there is any risk, it's worth it for an outstanding person like Tai Shici. When he comes back after his meritorious service, I will make him a captain, and a famous general will be in his pocket effortlessly. There is nothing more satisfying than this.
Something?
Wang Yu thought happily.
…
Taishi Ci was amazed at this moment because Yu Jin was gathering his troops.
Taishi Ci has not yet formally served as an official. He has only learned the art of military strategy and has not had the opportunity to apply it in practice. However, he has seen a lot of armies over the years and has even watched many battles with his own eyes. He has a good understanding of the strength and weakness of the army.
own unique insights.
It is inseparable from all changes. Generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of an army can be analyzed from the appearance and reaction speed of an army. This is a concrete manifestation of orders and prohibitions.
The place where Yu Jin assembled his troops was at the large school field outside the city. When the three of them arrived here, the soldiers on the school field were practicing.
In the middle of the school ground, there is a square formation of a thousand people practicing the formation. As the flags of the generals on the stage are waved, the flags in the square formation are fluttering, and they all send out responses. Then, under the command of the general, they change from a square formation to a round formation, and then again
It changed into Yan Yue, then Feng Ya, and evolved into one formation after another.
The whole process was like flowing clouds and flowing water. All you could see were flags waving and formations changing; all you could hear in your ears were the rumble of footsteps and the clanging of armor.
Taishi Ci had no time to pay too much attention to the smooth command and formation changes of the Taishan Army. On one side of the school field, another two thousand infantry were conducting actual combat drills. Compared with the smooth flow of the drill formations, what was shown here was another style.
In the array, there are large oars, crossbows, spears, swords, shields, axes and various weapons. The murderous aura is so high that it also makes people feel dazzled. However, in the actual confrontation, although the various arms are mixed together, they are
It was not messy at all. Every collision of the arrays would cause chaos, but with the efforts of both parties, the chaos was quickly calmed down.
Neither side used real swords or guns, but various wooden sticks. However, because the battle was very real and fierce, there were constant casualties. Those who were slightly injured continued to fight with their injuries, while those who were seriously injured were rescued by both sides.
This was the first time for Taishi Ci to see such a situation in a drill. The intensity was hardly inferior to the most brutal battles he had seen.
Compared with the infantry training, the cavalry training on the other side of the school field attracted Taishi Ci's attention more.
The cavalry training was divided into two parts, each using a group of scarecrows as imaginary enemies to practice tactics.
With an earth-shattering cry, hundreds of light cavalry divided into three groups while running. Two white horse cavalry rushed towards the two wings of the "enemy". They swept half a circle in front of the "enemy's formation" like the wind, and then quickly withdrew back. In the middle
The cavalry slowed down their horses, and when the cavalry on both wings retreated, they raised their crossbows and launched a volley.
Taishi Ci was no stranger to this kind of light cavalry cavalry and archery tactics. He saw that this tactic used the two wings as bait to arouse the enemy's formation, and then fired a volley of powerful crossbows to shake the enemy's formation.
After the volley, the three cavalrymen alternated positions like butterflies. The crossbow cavalry retreated and dismounted, and began to load the crossbow. The white horse knight changed from a straight charge to a diagonal charge, and then from a diagonal charge to a sweeping sweep, like two swifts, flying rapidly
Pass in front of the enemy's flanks.
While rushing forward, they bent their bows and fired. After each person fired almost three arrows, the distance between them and the enemy was also close to a certain extent. They all moved their horses at the same time and withdrew like a tide. During the retreat, there were also
Some people kept turning around and attacking immediately.
Almost at the same time, the crossbow cavalry finished loading and mounted their horses again, and Sen Han's crossbow arrows pointed at the enemy formation again.
Taishi Ci can imagine the corresponding battle situation in his mind. If the enemy is attacked by the white horse knights and then chases them out, they will be hit head-on by the crossbow cavalry. If they do not pursue them, they will continue to bleed and lose their morale under such repeated attacks.
Lowered and eventually worn to death.
Pure cavalry and archery tactics are strong, but not lethal enough. If you encounter an enemy with a strong fighting spirit and use infantry, bows and powerful crossbows to counterattack, it will turn into a war of attrition.
However, the existence of the crossbow cavalry can make up for the shortcomings of the light cavalry's lack of lethality in mounted shooting tactics. The mounted shooting tactics are more perfect and more terrifying.
The last group of cavalry was small in number and seemed to have poor riding skills. They were practicing charging into formation.
Under the leadership of the general, the cavalry were arranged in the shape of three arrows, one vertical and two horizontal. The vertical one quickly passed through the "enemy formation", and the two horizontal ones advanced diagonally, neatly picking off the outer layer of straw men.
Drop a layer.
Immediately afterwards, the leading cavalryman pulled out a corner flag from behind, waved it vigorously, turned around with the cavalrymen who had come out of the formation, and stepped into the scarecrow formation again. The other two cavalrymen rolled back and fired from the flanks.
Interspersed vertically and horizontally.
This is a typical tactic used by cavalry against infantry. The powerful impact of the cavalry is used to repeatedly attack key parts of the enemy, such as near the general's flag, in the hope of reducing the opponent's morale to the greatest extent and disrupting the opponent's command.
The cavalry on both wings ran quickly in front of the enemy's formation, looking for the opponent's weak points. Once the cavalry charging directly at the center completed the assault, or were blocked midway, the subsequent cavalry would attack according to the weak points they found, in order to expand the results or reduce the main attack direction.
Loss.
This tactic is not complicated. What shocked Taishi Ci was the armor on the cavalry. This was a heavily armored cavalry. Both the man and the horse were equipped with armor. The total weight was at least seventy or eighty kilograms.
Only the eyes of humans and horses were not wrapped in leather and iron.
Taishi Ci was not an inexperienced person, but he really didn't expect to see such a level of training here.
Each unit of soldiers and horses performed their respective duties, with various types of soldiers and all equipped with armor and staff. In a daze, he almost thought that he had returned to the Han Dynasty era and saw the world-famous Imperial Forest Army in Shanglin Garden.
Just when his mind was trembling, Yu Jin beside him had already issued an order for the troops to assemble, and then asked Taishi Ci for orders: "General Taishi, please go up to the stage and point out the generals and order the troops to be sent out." (To be continued. If
