Chapter 3341 Generals and Soldiers

Chapter 3340 Generals and Soldiers

Li Li is on the flank.

Following Xu Chu's order, he encountered Cao Jun's interception while outflanking Cao Hong.

I don't know if it was his good luck or bad luck. Anyway, he chose a fork in the road and happened to encounter a part of Cao Hongzhong's retreating army. As a result, the two sides collided, which delayed Li Li's return. When they were outflanking, they saw Xu Chu's army being suddenly attacked by Cao's catapults.

Smoke and dust rise into the sky!

The rocks roared down!

After Li Li quickly led his men and horses to avoid the strike range of the catapult, he suddenly turned back but could no longer find Xu Chu's battle flag.

Li Li's heart couldn't help but sink.

"Have you seen the general's flag?" ” Li Li asked the soldiers around him.

He thought he was dazzled,

"No, no!" 』

"Not found!" 』

"Is it obscured by smoke and dust?" 』

"Did you still fall into the ravine?" 』

Everyone started shouting, and it was difficult to conceal the panic in their voices...

No chaos!

Li Li reacted subconsciously. He shouldn't let everyone look for Xu Chu's battle flag. This would cause uneasiness. But now that the matter was over, he could only divert everyone's attention as soon as possible, otherwise morale would inevitably continue to collapse!

Is there any way to help a group of soldiers recover as quickly as possible?

fighting!

Only fight!

When a soldier does not know how to fight, or has lost the courage to fight, can he still be called a soldier?

Li Li did not give orders immediately. He sat on the horse with a calm face, turning a deaf ear to the roars coming from the Cao army's camp.

This is a huge stage.

Who was Li Li before this?

After today, Li Li will be Li Li!

He pulled out a clean spare strip of cloth from the leather pouch at his waist, bit one end of it with his teeth, and then wrapped the strip around the back of his left hand, which he didn't know when he had been injured.

Maybe it was cut by some weapon, or maybe it was scratched by gravel. I didn't realize it when I was avoiding the trebuchet, but now I feel some pain.

The bright red blood flowed downwards, and the strength of the binding made Li Li's face muscles twitch, but he still wrapped it calmly, as if he was not bandaging himself, but bandaging the wounds of others.

He quickly bandaged the injured wound, and used his teeth and dexterous fingers to tie the cloth into a knot.

When he raised his head again, everyone around him gradually became affected by his influence and calmed down.

Li Li stretched out his hand and moved it.

The wound was well wrapped and it hurt a little, but it didn't affect his subsequent activities very much.

The soldiers on the side seemed to want to say something, but after seeing Li Li's actions, they said nothing.

Li Li did not shout any exciting slogans to boost morale, but followed the most conventional habits and issued the command, "Check the equipment!" 』

In the run just now, some people lost their weapons, and some had their arrows knocked over.

Now Li Li issued the order again, as smoothly and powerfully as during an actual combat training.

The sound of sputtering sounded in sequence.

Li Li also jumped off the horse, rearranged the laces on the horse's abdomen, then took out some dry food from the bag on the horse's back, stuffed half of it into his mouth, and half to the man with big watery eyes. war horse.

The war horse snorted and then flicked its tail.

Li Li patted the horse's neck, and then looked at a group of Cao Jun soldiers running out of Cao Jun's camp in the distance, holding the handle of the sword tightly.

The two or three hussar soldiers on the other side of Li Li also just watched silently and said nothing.

Cao Jun's camp was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed hard. With the roar of war drums, countless soldiers rushed out of the camp, crossed the ditch, and rushed up with howling.

Some Cao Jun soldiers seemed to have discovered Li Li and others who were staying on one side. They pointed with their fingers, shouted, and then pressed over.

"hehe. Li Li couldn't help but sneered, "Do some people really think that we are like Shandong? We collapse as soon as we lose and disperse as soon as we lose?" 』

"Get ready for battle!" Li Li suddenly raised his voice, "Each team will report their numbers!" 』

"This... one team, there are seventy-three people in each team!" All swords and guns are ready! There are still 70% arrows left! ! 』

"The second team consists of sixty-eight people!" The swords and guns are all ready, and the arrows are 80%! 』

"Team Three..."

Each team reports in order.

Each team had a shortage of different numbers of people, and some of them had obviously become separated in the panic just now.

When Xu Chu encircled and suppressed Cao Hong, he did not mobilize all his troops, so Li Li and others did not bring out all the troops, and some of them rested in the frontline camp.

Li Li got on his horse and said, "Go and collect the scattered horses first!" We are all brothers, how can we abandon them lightly! 』

…

…

In a depression, a dozen hussar soldiers gathered together.

It is human nature to huddle together for warmth.

Most of these hussars soldiers lost their horses in the attack by Cao Jun just now, or their horses were injured and were thrown off, so they were naturally separated from the larger army.

The sound of war drums, the sound of horse hooves, and roars sounded in turn over the depression.

Cao Jun seems to be getting closer and closer.

They didn't know if they had been discovered.

Although they lost their horses, they did not lose their heart to fight.

His red eyes just stared at the enemy who was getting closer and closer.

Two to three hundred soldiers of Cao's army seemed to have discovered the hussars here, and they shouted and approached, and kept approaching.

One hundred and fifty steps.

One hundred and twenty steps.

One hundred steps.

Fifty steps!

A certain hussar soldier in the depression raised his sword and shouted: "Kill!" 』

Then he rushed up from the depression.

Following his roar, other people also roared and rushed out together...

But from another direction, a louder voice came, "Kill!" ! 』

With a sound like rolling thunder, Li Li led the cavalry from the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope, and then rushed down like a torrent. Hundreds of cavalry crashed into Cao Jun's small team!

Before the two or three hundred Cao Jun soldiers understood what was going on, they were already submerged in swords, spears and under the hooves of horses.

Before the hussars in the hollows could recover, a non-commissioned officer who looked like a team leader ran in front of them, waved his hand and ordered: "Go to the back of the team and see if there is anyone free." War horse! If you don’t have a horse, ride with the people behind you! Return to the original team after the war! Hurry! Now all follow the flag of Li Junhou! Get moving! Everyone move! 』

After saying that, the leader of the team did not wait for the hussars to respond, but immediately roared and ran in the other direction with the men and horses.

These hussars were stunned for a moment and then reacted, "Quick!" quick! Keep up, keep up! 』

…

…

In Cao Jun's camp, Cao Hong, who had already stood on the observation deck, was holding a bag of physalis water to replenish his water. Suddenly he saw this scene happening on the edge of the battlefield, and there was a "pop" sound, and the words in his mouth were The water spurted out, "Who is this?" ! 』

The military commander is not yet a general. He only recognizes the flag, but does not have the general flag.

The guard lay on the railing and squinted his eyes to carefully identify the running speck in the distance.

"This looks like... General, it seems like... the one who was in front of the formation two days ago..." the guard said, his voice not very loud.

Previously, Cao's army was directly swept away by a group of cavalry. It was not a pleasant memory that I would like to mention often...

Cao Hong remembered it and his eyes flashed.

How could there be so many heroes under the cavalry?

"Who is closest to that guy?" ” Cao Hong asked in a deep voice.

If such a seedling is under his own command, he will of course focus on cultivating it. If it is in the enemy's place, he will destroy it directly if there is an opportunity!

As if leaving room for the other party to grow, Jiji Gugu expressed that he was waiting for the other party to become a real opponent that he could match. In addition to being a comic book disease of the second class, in most cases, there is no way to kill the other party. You can put a mark on your lips.

For example, now, Cao Hong doesn't hesitate at all if he thinks he has a chance to kill this seedling.

"General, the closest ones are General Bao's men!" 』

"Bao Shuyi?" ” Cao Hong frowned slightly and said, “Give me the order to kill this beast!” Don't let him hook up again to rescue the hussars and scatter the soldiers and horses! 』

…

…

People are fishing, and pots fall from the sky!

what to do?

Waiting online, it’s very urgent!

Come back soon!

After Bao Zhong received Cao Hong's new order, he couldn't figure out how to spit out a mouthful of orange and wheat peel.

He finally dilly-dallyed, but he couldn't act like he was dilly-dallying among the ranks of Cao's army, just like the fishermen in later generations of enterprises. After all, no matter what time it is, when the boss sees an employee blatantly fishing for money, most of them will not be happy. Unexpectedly, Cao Hong asked him to kill Li Li!

Of course, Bao Zhong didn't know it was Li Li at the moment, but in any case, he suddenly had a new task. It was just like announcing a meeting when he was about to get off work, doing team building on the weekend, and doing training during the holiday. It was full of He has a strong sense of malice towards the working proletariat.

Of course, Bao Zhong also thought about flipping the table, but in the end, after the anger in his stomach cooled down through his mouth, it turned into two words: "Okay..."

Originally, Bao Zhong did not want to go in the direction of the Hussar's former army camp. Now that he had Cao Hong's order, he simply changed the direction and went to Li Li's place.

"This is an opportunity!" "I never know where it came from again."

Bao Zhong has a feeling that this person seems to have a special ability. If he accidentally throws it into a crowd, will it disappear automatically?

"What opportunity?" No chance! Don't look for trouble! ” Bao Zhong refused immediately.

Although Bao Zhong said "no", he never seemed to hear him and continued: "Now the general can lend me a flag... Doesn't the general want to get in touch as soon as possible to make sure that the son will be treated at the Hundred Medical Center?" time? You can put off other things, but not this matter! 』

"Hiss..." Bao Zhong turned his head and glared angrily.

He is always smiling, and the smile on his face seems to be unchanged for a hundred years.

"Come here." Bao Zhong said in a low voice, "Please tell me clearly how to arrange it?" 』

"Your Majesty's arrangement? ” It’s always been the same face.

Bao Zhong grinded his teeth and said, "Yes, how will I arrange my children?" 』

Of course Bao Zhong wanted to ask everything clearly, including how to contact him, who else was in Cao's camp, etc. But it was obvious that Bao Zhong knew he would never tell, so he could only compromise in the end. He just asked to know the specific arrangements for his son.

"This thing is very simple. ” It’s always like explaining why one plus one equals two, “Didn’t I say that before? Just determine the specific time to connect at Dahe Ferry. 』

"What's enough?" ” Bao Zhong felt a little aggrieved and angry at being kept in the dark, “I don’t know anything! How to be specific! 』

Jieng suddenly dropped his smile and said, "You don't need to know." 』

But soon, Neng laughed again, "Don't worry, General, I'll take care of everything." Can you lend me the flag now? 』

Bao Zhong wanted to refuse again, but he thought of his children and finally reluctantly handed a color to his guard.

Obviously, the flag representing the general cannot be given. After all, there is only one flag, but it represents the recognition of Cao Jun...

Normally, these recognitions of flags are part of the rights of generals and commanding troops. Not all soldiers know the generals of Cao Jun's military schools, but at least they will recognize Cao Jun's flag.

Most of these recognition flags have restrictions on issuance, and not everyone can obtain them. Only those at the general level can obtain this recognition flag. In some cases, it can be equivalent to a "command arrow", serving as a token of order.

Of course, this effect does not mean that you can command any Cao soldiers after getting the flag, but there are some restrictions based on the actual situation. For example, Bao Zhong's recognition of the flag made it impossible to mobilize the people of the central leadership and central guard troops.

If this kind of flag is lost, you will be punished, just like losing the command arrow, but it will be much better than losing the general's flag. Bao Zhong signaled the guards to give him the flag, which was how he recognized the flag.

Guard Bao Zhong snorted and took out a small cloth bag from his arms.

Changjiang smiled, reached out and snatched it, and then whispered: "Go to the side... Anyway, you don't have a war horse, so isn't it normal that you can't keep up with the hussar?" 』

…

…

After rolling up the flag, Xu Chu led his men and horses and retreated, probably running for about ten miles. Xu Chu gradually slowed down, turned and galloped up a slope, and slowly stood still.

He jumped off the horse and asked the guards to take care of the horse. Using his hands and feet, he hurriedly climbed to the top of the slope on one side and looked back to inspect the battlefield.

Xu Chu was not frustrated because of today's defeat.

After experiencing this setback, Xu Chu realized some things that he had ignored before.

Caution and risk-taking are not completely opposites.

He was too cautious before, so the pressure on Cao Jun's camp was not strong enough, which gave Cao Hong a chance to hide his trump card. If he could have been more aggressive and risky in the first battle, let alone whether he could win Cao Jun's camp, at least Cao Hong would The trebuchet will be forced into use...

Likewise, the battlefield is always changing. What may have been a safe place yesterday may become dangerous today. Everything needs to be adjusted accordingly to the specific situation...

Xu Chu kept thinking and summarizing.

The lessons of flesh and blood should be kept in mind.

After a brief period of regret and self-blame, Xu Chu quickly found a way to fight back and formulated a bold plan. He wanted to lure Cao's army out before he launched a counterattack.

On the one hand, it was because it was close to the camp of Cao Jun, and Xu Chu did not know which area did not have catapults set up by Cao Jun. On the other hand, Cao Jun was suppressed in the camp at this stage, although on the surface it seemed that the hussars had achieved considerable success. Although it had the advantage of having less troops, it actually did not cause much direct damage to Cao Jun.

So if we can lure a group of Cao troops out...

But the important thing is that he can eat it!

Xu Chu believed that he could do it, and he even believed that the hussars under his command could do it!

"Show the flag!" Contact each department! 』

Xu Chu said in a deep voice.

It's not a defeat now.

If Cao Jun is really given an opportunity to take advantage of it, then he will be called a defeat.

In the eyes of others, he was defeated, but the fact was that he just decided to retreat and find a safer way to deal with Cao Jun.

Xu Chu's flag spread out again on the plain.

The terrain in the Yuncheng Basin is flat. Although it has the special ravine landform of the Loess Plateau, it is not easy to defend.

He led the army this time as Fei Qian's vanguard. He defeated Cao Hong in the first battle and suppressed Cao's army in the second battle. He had accomplished the task required by Fei Qian extremely well. More importantly, he had initially eliminated Cao's army. The traps outside the camp were laid out, and the peripheral layout map of Cao's camp was drawn, which provided a relatively sufficient source of information for the Hussars General to deploy his subsequent army.

From this point of view, Xu Chu had already completed the military order assigned by Fei Qian.

But a life that goes too smoothly may not be a good thing for anyone.

Previously, Xu Chu thought that Li Li could lead his men to develop a sharp set of archer cavalry tactics, so he could naturally command the cavalry horse riding company, so he was careless and was caught by Cao Hong...

Xu Chu was indeed wrong. He is a leading general, but he is not an omnipotent general. He is good at infantry formations, but he doesn't understand cavalry well enough!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Xu Chu realized that Guanzhong and Shandong were different after all!

The key node of Shandong is the general. No matter what the previous battle situation was, once the general collapsed, the whole army would lose contact, even if the other soldiers were intact!

The key points of Guanzhong are the military academy, the non-commissioned officers, and the middle and lower-level people!

Just like what the general of the cavalry said, "The way to be a commander is to make the generals and soldiers do their best! ”

Now Xu Chu is willing to give the right of choice to these middle and lower-level cavalry military academy non-commissioned officers, and believes that under Fei Qian's subtle influence for so many years, these military academy non-commissioned officers will eventually grow up like Li Li and become the real force supporting the cavalry army!

The three-color battle flag is flying on the earth plateau again.

Although there are some damages and dust on the three-color flag, it is still bright, still eye-catching, and still stands proudly!
