On the night of the 20th month of the fourth year of Xiande (957 AD), Guo Shao saw Li Zhongjin’s people.
"Li Zhongjin can't run away anymore." Guo Shao said in retrospect. The generals laughed a lot, and he said again, "Take a rest for the night and fight tomorrow morning. Even if Li Chongjin wants to run, he can't run. We walked two hundred miles yesterday and today. Li Chongjin walked less than fifty miles, how can he run?"
At this moment, the dark people, one old and one strong with two heads wrapped in cloth, climbed and took the ground up the mountain. Guo Shao gave Zhou Tong a wink, and Zhou Tong took out a handful of coins and held it up. Guo Shao then asked: "Are you locals?"
"My father is from Xiakou, and so is my grandfather." The elderly spoke with a strong Hedong accent. Fortunately, although the accents in different parts of the north are different, they are much easier to understand than the southern dialects, and Guo Shao can understand almost all of them.
The old man got the money and pointed to the river below the mountain: "That is Fenshui, and the opposite mountain is called Qin Wangling; the mountain on which we stand is called Xitou Mountain. There is not a hole in the north, it was occupied by soldiers and horses. (Li Zhongjin's department), the mouth will go over, and there is Xiakou Town."
Zhou Tong asked: "What do you mean by openness and flatness?"
"Yes." The old man hurriedly read his head, "It's winter, and it's windy in the evening, north wind, hiding south of the mountain is the end."
Guo Shao asked in detail about the topography of Xiakou Town that had passed by.
The two people had nothing to say and were taken away. Zhou Tong immediately said: "Fenshui winds eastward after crossing the mountain. Although the terrain of Xiakou Town is wide, the flat land is on the north bank; the road on the south bank is narrow. Unless you turn over the mountain, you will have to squeeze on the road when you retreat."
"He blocked this hole to prevent our army from deploying; he deployed in an open area to the north, but he didn't think about how to retreat, but to fight hard." Guo Shao smiled, "Li Zhongjin is still a battleground in the end. General, only the use of soldiers is not bad."
Shi Yanchao hummed: "No matter how you use soldiers, the next gang of waste can't stop the cavalry!"
Guo Shao echoed him: "General Shi broke the secret, fighting for strength in battle, unless the hope of victory is placed on the fluke of opposing fools, otherwise it will be whoever wins. So I have a whole country. Lean towards the military and raise so many elites; if you don’t want to win the battle, wouldn’t it be fun to share the money with everyone for fun!"
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this, and a brawny martial artist happily said: "It's good to divide the money, and you will have prosperity and wealth when you sit. We ran to this deep mountain and wild valley to eat bird eggs!"
Guo Shao closed his smile and turned his head to the Zhou channel: "Tomorrow, the general Zhou will be the formation officer, and he will be responsible for the formation. This narrow area is less than one mile wide and cannot be deployed. The heavy infantry will be deployed in Increase the force density in the front."
This kind of formation with almost no technical content, let Zhou Tong go to give him credit. Zhou Tong hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The last general will take the lead."
A general pointed to the opposite mountain and said: "Li Zhongjin also has soldiers on the mountain. Shall we send soldiers to guard the mountain?"
Guo Shao glanced at it and said immediately: "No need. If I can detour from the mountain to hit me, there will be a threat of reading; but Li Chongjin is at a disadvantage, and he actively dived down is also looking for death. Besides, the roads on this mountain are difficult to follow. Troops cannot be formed into an organizational movement, and any movements are very slow. We can also temporarily organize a defense line on the mountainside."
Everyone observed it again. Li Zhongjin built some fences on the mountain. The fortifications were deployed on the front line, and it really looked like they were on defense. The movement of the enemy soldiers on the river beach corridor below the mountain can not be seen clearly, some camps and flags can be seen from a distance, and a large area of dust is trapped in the mountains.
Guo Shao and others can't come closer. There are scouts in front of them. It's getting dark, and the skirmish is meaningless.
...Back to the camp, the ministries followed the reminders of their guides, selected camps behind the mountain, and sent people to set up light and dark guards and scouts, and nothing happened. After the sun went down, the night was quickly opened, and the bonfire at the foot of the mountain was bright. It is estimated that this mountainous area has not seen such a popular and lively scene for several years.
Fourteen days after coming out of Beijing on the twelfth month, Guo Shao actually didn't feel much. He just rode and walked all day long; then he fought a battle. In other places, I didn't feel the earth-shattering things he had done... But one can imagine the feat: running thousands of miles in half a month, defeating 70,000 people in a row. (In fact, it is not an exaggeration to exaggerate the claim that one hundred thousand troops will be destroyed. In the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao less than 200,000 people, and it is nothing to claim eight hundred thousand.)
Two Li Shiwan's army rebelled and was destroyed in half a month! This kind of power is not called internal and external shock? How would the people of the world react?
The more Guo Shao thinks, the more excited he gets. Although he was cautious the day before yesterday, he was actually seduced by these results a long time ago, so he would do everything possible to send troops continuously, and he looked forward to tomorrow's battle.
Guo Shao sat under a dead tree without a tent, quietly and quietly excited. Because the whole army is light-packed and simple, and the tents are small, the complex structure of the military account that requires a few vehicles to fit is naturally not carried.
The army first boiled hot soup on the ground, and then chatted about it after eating. Then the fire was moved away. At this time, the ground was already hot enough, and everyone spread the tung tarpaulin and blanket that covered the quilt; then lifted the small tent to the big bunk. Then a few people were wrapped in a big quilt, and there were more than 20 people lying in a small tent. There was no space in the tent except for the sleeping place; the fire was burning outside the tent to keep warm.
The conditions are quite difficult, the real wind, meals and sleep. But as long as everyone thinks that they can win, it's not a big deal.
Fortunately, there is very little rain in Hedong in late autumn and early winter. If it rains at this time, it will be even more miserable...Because there are too few tents to shelter from the rain, and they are low enough to burn fire in the tent. If it rains, Guo Shao might not dare to dispatch troops from Jinju in such a hurry.
Guo Shao is better as the leader. He doesn't need to squeeze with others. He lives alone in a tent and changes to a quilt. However, the tent was still very low, and I couldn't hit it straight when I went in, except for lying down, I could only bend over.
Rao is so, Guo Shao still can't sleep. This feeling is very subtle, it's like going to see a beautiful woman tomorrow, with great expectations and excitement, but in her heart there is worry about gains and losses... What if she doesn't like me? What a pity if I make a fool of myself if I get nervous...
Of course, what Guo Shao is looking forward to is Li Chongjin. Li Chongjin can't like him, so he has to come to be strong.
Fu Jinzhan heard that he had defeated Er Li in fifteen days, what was his mood? Hey...
Guo Shao fell asleep in a dream and nervous mood.
Early the next morning, he woke up at the sound of the horn and hurriedly got up. Standing in front of the low tent, he saw that a large group of infantry had pulled out of the battalion, and the huge tiger square banner in front was still not adapted to the previous banner.
The conductor held his saber diagonally, followed by the flag bearer and drummer. "Boom, boom..." Five hundred people marched slowly in a neat line in a drum reading. The black armor and heavy footsteps seemed to conquer the mountains and rivers.
Guo Shao asked someone to help put on heavy armor, tie his waist ornaments, and hang his sword. Then he took out a toothbrush from his pocket and went into the tent to brush his teeth. He overslept this morning, but he didn't panic at all and had to maintain a calm mind. While washing his face, he said to the shadow inside: Every time he thinks of Fu Jinzhan, he will definitely win. It must go well today!
Guo Shao ate three wheat cakes with cold boiled water. Dong Er led him immediately, and he turned on his horse, out of the fence, and more than 200 riders lined up to wait. Guo Shao waved: "Go!"
Along the way, a piece of infantry phalanx was marching. Guo Shao rode his horse past the flanks and shouted: "This battle will win!"
The army turned around to look at Guo Shao, and shouted: "We must win...We must win..." The voice echoed in the mountains on the opposite bank, hovering over the Fenshui River.
Guo Shao reached the battlefield, and from a distance, hundreds of steps away, Li Zhongjin had a fence in front of his department, rejected the horse, and dug a trench in front of him; this battle was a defensive situation. He looked up and saw that the side of the mountain was ups and downs, and the enemy soldiers set up fortifications on it. However, the hillsides were undulating, and the enemy soldiers were far away, and temporary ambushes could not be surprisingly successful.
"Dong Er, you take a group of soldiers to abandon horses and scatter them, and see if there are any signs of ambushes, rocks, etc. in the mountains in front of the enemy soldiers." Guo Shao pointed to the east and shouted, "If something abnormal is found , Just wave the flag to report."
"Telling!" Dong Er answered with a fist.
Guo Shao rode a horse to patrol everywhere, and saw Zhou Tongzheng leading people to yell out the formation. The front line camp has been deployed, and the troops coming from behind are setting up.
He took a look. The eight commanders on the front line, according to the pre-arranged sequence, belonged to the Second Army of the Huben Army, all infantry. For every five hundred people in command, there are ten rows in a rectangular array; one row and two teams about fifty people. It is estimated that one command deploys less than fifty steps horizontally, and the infantry is deployed very densely; eight commanders deploy horizontally, and on the front of about one mile, there is still a wide gap between the commands.
Although Zhou Tong used to be a coach, a large number of guards in the Royal Palace should be trained by him. It seems that the marching formation is still very expert.
On the opposite side of Li Zhongjin’s camp fence, I am afraid that it is similar to Guo Shao’s considerations. The front is full of infantry...Because the horsemen occupy a large area, they can run if they are too dense. If they are too sparse, the number of people who can be sent to the battlefield is small. ; Where the terrain is relatively narrow, the density of infantry is greater and the frontal combat effectiveness is stronger. In infantry combat, the denser the battle, the more advantageous it is, because the densely packed side may have two or three people fighting one by one.
Guo Shao was thirteen years old and became a recruit in the Guardian Mansion. He has been in the military for several years, and he knows what a war is like based on his experience. Later, he "changed himself", and gradually became fond of reading books. Sun Tzu knew the art of war most well... but it was almost useless in actual combat. The organization of the army was completely different from that in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. He could only comprehend abstract ideas.
So far, he has not discovered that there are detailed military books in this era that teach people how to march and fight. Everything is summarized by experience and his own thinking. r640
