Chapter 310 Excitement of worrying about gains and losses

5days ago traverse Novels 2
On the evening of September 26, the fourth year of Xiande (957 AD), Guo Shao saw Li Chongjin's men.

Li Chongjin couldn't run away.Guo Shao looked back and said.

The generals laughed and said, "Stay for a night and fight tomorrow morning."Even if Li Chongjin wants to run, he can't run.Yesterday and today we walked 200 miles, and Li Chong walked less than fifty miles. How could he run?

At this moment, the dark people, one old and one strong, climbed away from the ground and went up the mountain.

Guo Shao gave Zhou Tong a wink, and Zhou Tong took out a handful of copper coins and held it up.

Guo Shao then asked: Are you locals?

My father is from Xiakou, and so is my grandfather.The elderly speak with a rich Hedong accent.

Fortunately, although the accents in different parts of the north are different, they are much better than those in the southern dialect, and Guo Shao can almost understand them.

The old man got the money and pointed to the river at the foot of the mountain: It was Fen River, and the mountain opposite was called Qin Wangling; the mountain we were standing on was called Xitou Mountain.There is not a hole in the north, and it was occupied by soldiers (Li Chongjin's troops). The hole was lost when it went over, and there was Xiakou Town there.

Zhou Tong asked: What do you mean by being open and flat?

Yes.The old man nodded quickly. It was winter, and it was windy at night, and the north wind was the only thing to hide from the south of the mountain.

Guo Shao asked in detail about the terrain of Xiakou Town where the trunk was gone.

The two people had nothing to say and were taken down.

Zhou Tong immediately said: The Fen River winds eastward after crossing the mountain. Although the terrain of Xiakou Town is wide, the flat ground is on the north bank; the road on the south bank is narrow, unless you cross the mountain, you will be squeezed on the road as soon as you retreat.

He blocked this hole to prevent our army from launching; he deployed in the open north, but he did not consider how to retreat or fight.Guo Shao smiled and said, Li Chongjin was still a long-time general on the battlefield, and he only said that he was not bad at using troops.

Shi Yanchao hummed: No matter how many soldiers are used, the gang of waste under his command can't stop the Iron Cavalry!

Guo Shao echoed him: General Shi revealed the secret of heaven in one sentence. The battle is about strength. Unless the hope of victory is placed on the opponent's stupid luck, whoever is stronger will win.So the whole country of our Great Zhou tilts its strength towards military affairs and raises so many elites; if we don’t want to win in order to fight, wouldn’t it be pleasant to share the money with everyone for fun!

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. A strong martial artist said: It’s good to share money, and you will be rich and prosperous when you sit. We will run to this deep mountain valley to eat bird eggs!

Guo Shao stopped his smile and turned to the Zhou channel: Tomorrow morning, General Zhou will be the commander of the formation and will be responsible for the formation early in the morning.Such narrow areas are less than one mile wide and cannot be deployed, so they can deploy heavy infantry in front to increase the density of troops.

This kind of array with almost no technical content was completely for Zhou Tong to give him credit.Zhou Tong hurriedly clasped his fists and said: The last general will take the order.

A general pointed to the hill opposite and said, "Li Chongjin also has soldiers on the mountain. Should we send troops up the mountain to guard it?"

Guo Shao took a look and immediately said: No need.If I could detour from the mountain and attack my middle lane, it would be a bit threatening; but Li Chongjin was at a disadvantage, so he would be seeking death if he took the initiative to dive.What's more, the roads on this mountain are difficult to move, and it is impossible for large troops to move in an established manner, so it is very slow to move any movement.It is time for us to organize the defense line on the mountainside temporarily.

Everyone observed it again. Li Chongjin built some fortifications on the mountain, and the fortifications were deployed on the front line, and it really seemed like they were defending.

The movements of the enemy soldiers on the corridors of the river beach at the foot of the mountain can't be seen clearly. Some camps and flags can be seen from afar, and large areas of dust cages are surrounded by the mountains.

Guo Shao and others could not get closer. There was a scout in front of him, and it was getting dark, and the small-scale conflict was meaningless.

...When they returned to the camp, each department followed the guidance of the guide and chose a camp behind the mountain to station it, and sent people to set up bright and dark posts and scouts, which was fine for the moment.

After the sun sets, the night quickly opens, and the bonfires are in full swing at the foot of the mountain, and the fire is bright.

I guess I haven't seen such a popular and lively scene in this mountainous area for several years.

After leaving Beijing on September 12th, it was fourteen days. Guo Shao actually didn't feel much. He just rode a horse and then fought a battle.

He didn't feel that he had done something earth-shaking... but he could imagine his achievements: he ran thousands of miles in half a month and defeated sixty or seventy thousand people in a row.

(In fact, it is not an exaggeration to exaggerate the claim that he had destroyed a 100,000 army; Cao Cao had less than 200,000 people in the Battle of Red Cliff, and it was nothing to claim that he was 800,000.)

Two Li’s army rebelled and was destroyed in half a month!Isn’t this power called internal and external shock?What will the world react?

Guo Shao became more and more excited the more he thought about it.Although he was cautious the day before yesterday, he had been tempted by such a result, so he tried every means to send troops continuously. He was looking forward to tomorrow's battle situation.

Guo Shao sat under a dead tree, not even a tent, and was quietly excited.

Because the entire army is light and simple to carry, there are few tents, so the complex structure that requires several cars to be installed in the large tent of the Central Army naturally did not carry it.

The soldiers first set fire on the ground to cook hot soup, and then talked about it after dinner.

Then remove the fire, and the ground is already hot, so everyone spread the tung oil cloth and blanket wrapped in the quilt; then carry the small tent to the large layup.

Then several people wrapped themselves in a large quilt, and more than twenty people lay in a small tent, crowded together into a ball without space in the tent except for the place where they sleep; the fire outside the tent is burned to keep warm.

The conditions are quite difficult, and it is really a windy and sleeping in the open.However, as long as everyone thinks they can win, this little bit of suffering is nothing.

Fortunately, there is very little rain in the east of the river in late autumn and early winter. If it rains just at this time, it will be even more miserable... Because there are too few tents to hide from the rain and are low, it cannot burn fire in the tent.

If it rains, Guo Shao may not dare to send troops from Jinzhou in such a hurry.

As the main general, Guo Shao is better. He doesn't have to squeeze with others. He lives in a tent and changes a quilt alone.However, the tent was still very low, and he couldn't even straighten his body when he entered, and he could only bend his back except lying.

Even so, Guo Shao still couldn't sleep.

This feeling is very subtle, just like I am going to see a beautiful woman tomorrow. I am extremely expectant and excited, but I am worried about gains and losses... What should I do if she doesn't like me?

If I make a fool of myself, it would be a pity if I missed it...

Of course, what Guo Shao is looking forward to is Li Chongjin now. Li Chongjin cannot like him, so he has to be strong.

Fu Jinzhan felt how she felt when she heard that she had defeated Er Li in fifteen days?hey-hey……

Guo Shao fell asleep in a daze in amidst his beautiful dreams and nervousness.

The next morning, he woke up when he heard the sound of the horn and hurriedly got up.

He stood in front of the low tent and saw a large number of infantry soldiers who had already set out of the battalion. The huge square tiger flag in front was still not reorganized.

The commander held his sword diagonally, and the flag bearer and drummer followed closely behind.

Dong, Dong... Five hundred people walked slowly forward in a neat queue with drum beats.The dark iron armor and heavy footsteps seemed to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Guo Shao asked someone to help put on heavy armor, tie the waist ornaments to his body, and hang it with his sword.

Then he took out a toothbrush from his pocket and went into the tent to brush his teeth. He went to bed this morning, but he was not panicked at all and had to maintain a calm and calm mind.

When washing his face, he thought to the shadow inside: Every time he thinks of Fu Jinzhan, he will definitely win.

Today will definitely go smoothly!

Guo Shao ate three wheat cakes when he caught cold boiled water. Dong Ergui came immediately, and he turned over and got out of the barrier. More than 200 riders were waiting in line.Guo Shao waved his hand and said: Let’s go!

Along the way, there were infantry and military formations marching. Guo Shao rode his horse past the flank and shouted loudly: I will win this battle!

The troops looked back at Guo Shao and shouted: "Go to win... Win... The sound echoed among the mountains on the other side, hovering on the Fenshui River.

When Guo Shao arrived at the battlefield, from a distance, Li Chongjin's troops, hundreds of steps away, had a barrier in front of him, and a ditch was dug in front; this situation was also a defensive situation.

He looked up and saw the mountains on the side up and down, and the enemy soldiers also set up fortifications on them; however, the hillsides were undulating and the enemy soldiers were far away, so temporary ambush could not achieve a surprise victory.

Dong Er, you will lead a team of personal soldiers to abandon their horses and scatter them up to see if there are any signs of artificial ambushing, stones and other artificial signs in the mountains ahead of the enemy soldiers.Guo Shao pointed to the east and shouted, "If you find any abnormality, you will wave the flag to report the message."

Get order!Dong Er clasped his fists and answered.

Guo Shao rode his horse around to patrol, and saw Zhou Tong shouting and setting up the formation. The front line camp in front had been deployed, and the people coming from behind were setting up the formation.

He looked at it and found that the eight commanders on the front line were arranged in advance, and according to the front and back sequence, the front belonged to the Second Army of the Hu Ben Army, all of which were infantry.

Each command of five hundred people is in line with ten rows of rectangular formations; one or two rows of about fifty people are in line.

One commander was deployed horizontally for less than fifty steps, and the infantry was deployed very closely; the eight commanders spread horizontally, and there were still wider gaps in the middle of each commander on the front of about one mile.

Although Zhou Tong was a coach before, he should have trained a large number of personal soldiers in the Wei Wang Mansion.It seems that the marching formation is still very expert.

The opposite Li Chongjin's camp barrier was probably similar to Guo Shao's considerations, and the front was full of infantry... Because the horse soldiers occupy a large area and are too dense, they can run, and if they are too sparse, they will be fewer people to be sent to the battlefield; in the narrower terrain, the infantry has a greater density and stronger frontal combat power.

In infantry combat, the more dense the more advantage it is, because the dense side may have two or three people fighting one.

Guo Shao became a new guard at the Wei Palace at the age of thirteen. He has been in Wu for nine years, and according to his experience, he knows what the war is going on.

Later, he changed his personalities and gradually became fond of reading books. Sun Tzu was the most familiar with the Art of War... However, it was hardly useful for actual combat. The organizational form of the army was completely different from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He could only understand abstract ideas.

So far, he has not found that there are detailed military books in this era, teaching people how to march and fight in detail. Everything depends on experience and his own thinking and summary.
