Chapter 14 Zhao Shu deduces one possibility after another.
What Zhang said is cruel, but this is the reality. On the battlefield, things are often more tragic than what Zhang described.
Zhao Shu nodded.
He deeply believed what Zhang said. From this offensive and defensive drill, it can be seen that since the war started, some people have been withdrawing from the battlefield.
If this was a real war, the people who quit, including them, would all be dead, just corpses.
This means that after months of training and setting foot on the battlefield, he dies as soon as he emerges. No matter how successful he is, or how famous he is, all his lofty ideals will seem insignificant in the face of death.
The war is still going on, and most of the dead soldiers' camp has been destroyed. Although some people fought on the way to the top of the city, they were killed by the army on the top of the city.
The siege vehicles continued to attack, and the crossbowmen were still fighting back. At the same time, on the Chinese army's chariots, military orders were conveyed one after another, and the entire army was adjusted, constantly changing formations, and attacking.
Zhao Shu stood on the ground and couldn't see many things. He hesitated and secretly climbed onto the arrow stack on one side.
There is one of the Chinese military command flags.
Ignoring the surprised look in the messenger's eyes, Zhao Shu looked at the entire battlefield. Since he stood high enough, he had a panoramic view of the entire battlefield.
From the issuance of military orders from our army, as well as the cooperation between the armies on the battlefield, as well as the issuance of military orders from the army defending the city on the opposite side, as well as the cooperation among the armies.
Zhao Shu discovered that the defender's ability was significantly higher, and the opponent's reaction was faster than that of the attacking party.
This kind of siege war, especially the hand-to-hand combat at the city's gates, most tests the elite of the army, the commanding attainments of the commanders on both sides, and their ability to capture fighter planes.
There is a saying that fighter opportunities are fleeting, and once missed, it may even lead to the failure of a war.
Regarding Sun Tzu's Art of War, Zhao Shu had a deeper understanding in his heart at this moment. Of course, if he was asked to command this war now, he simply couldn't do it.
Without radio, the general's orders could not be conveyed clearly. In this era, commanding an army of more than 100,000 people in combat was a great test of a general's ability.
With an army of millions, the only people who can give clear and accurate general orders to the level of commander of a thousand are the only people who appear now are Wu'an Lord Bai Qi, and the future Wang Jian and Han Xin.
On top of the arrow stack, Zhao Shu watched the entire war develop until the end. The defenders won a great victory, but the attacking side suffered heavy losses and failed to capture the city.
He is the attacking party.
This drill gave Zhao Shu the most intuitive understanding of cold weapon warfare. After returning to the camp, Zhao Shu remained silent.
He was thinking, if he were the leader of the attack today, how he should attack to break the city, and the scenes that happened on the battlefield played in his mind like a slideshow.
Zhao Shu deduced one possibility after another.
Time and time again, he finally failed.
Seeing that Zhao Shu's face was pale, Zhang's expression changed slightly, and he came over to comfort him and said: "The one who is defending the city is the Shaofu. Naturally we cannot break it. If it is the Shaofu who is attacking, the city will be broken today."
"You don't have to think too much. Victory and defeat are normal. The dead soldiers are always the first to die in battle. I have seen this situation countless times."
"Um."
Stopping the random thoughts in his mind, Zhao Shu drank some water. He couldn't help but have more thoughts. He found that his memory was extremely terrifying.
He clearly remembered the changes in today's battle and the transmission of every military order, so it was not difficult to deduce it in his mind.
The only thing was that it was too strenuous to perform the deduction once. After several deductions, he almost lost all strength and became dizzy.
During today's drill, the military camp in the capital was in a state of excitement, especially the victorious side, who were beaming with joy. This was not only because they had won, but also because their food was better today.
After eating in silence, the losing side looked lifeless. Zhao Shu did not stay in the camp for too long and hurried back to the Lishan Mausoleum area.
After experiencing this drill, Zhao Shu completely realized his shortcomings. After washing himself in the river, Zhao Shu fell asleep.
Sleeping is the easiest way to replenish a person's vitality. Since he has deduced it several times, Zhao Shu is a bit weak now.
Zhao Shu came back, but among the troops in the capital, the lights in the shogunate were brightly lit.
The drill is over. From the commander above, it is necessary to summarize this battle. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Zhang Han naturally has to be there.
Looking at the bamboo slips sent by the captains and generals, Zhang Han couldn't help but feel a little headache. It seemed that both sides performed well in this battle, but Zhang Han knew that this was not enough.
The Capital Army is different from other armies. The mission of the Capital Army is to defend Xianyang. Therefore, this requires that the Capital Army must not only be invincible in field battles, but also be the best in the world in defending the city.
Judging from this exercise, the performance of each army was somewhat unsatisfactory.
"General, the drill is not a real war. The soldiers have lost their spirit. Moreover, when the army is approaching the city, there is basically no room for the army to perform if it wants to."
Glancing at Lieutenant General Meng Fang, Zhang Han shook his head and said: "As the last line of defense for Xianyang, the Capital Army has to fight a tough battle."
"Normally it's not our turn, but if we are needed, it means our enemies have already arrived."
"Our war is destined to be close combat. This is determined by the mission of the Capital Army."
"The king spent so much money to build a city wall here and let the army perform martial arts. This is not a face-saving job. We must live up to the king's trust and respect."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Meng Fang was silent for a while, then turned to Zhang Han and said, "General, what should we do with the soldier from the dead camp who climbed up the arrow stack to watch today?"
"Why should we deal with it?" Zhang Han glanced at Meng Fang, asked with a smile, and said, "Has he violated military law?"
"No!" Meng Fang shook his head.
Zhang Han continued to ask: "Did he violate Qin's law?"
"No!" At this moment, Meng Fang continued to shake his head.
"Haha, how do you want me to deal with it?" Zhang Han shook his head: "He just climbed up the arrow stack and watched, and did not affect the messenger."
"Although there is something wrong, it cannot be reprimanded by the shogunate. Let the captain of the dead soldier battalion give you a verbal reprimand!"
"promise."
Glancing at Zhang Han in surprise, Meng Xin was relieved and planned to check on the soldier afterwards.
Although Zhao Shu did not break the law, there was something inappropriate about him still climbing the arrow stack after he was killed in battle. In order to maintain the image of the shogunate, he would definitely be scolded.
However, this time Zhang Han's attitude was very problematic.
Compared to Meng Fang's dissatisfaction, Zhang Han was very satisfied with Zhao Shu's move. He was curious about the war and wanted to wait and see the entire battle situation, which meant that Zhao Shu had the potential to become a military general.
After thinking this, Zhang Han waved his hand to signal Meng Fang to leave: "General Meng, after you get down, have a heart-to-heart talk with the generals and make the training more intense."
