Chapter 387 Defeat

The sound of the horn sounded, marking the beginning of a fight.

The more wars he has experienced, the more Zheng Fan understands Li Fusheng's mentality. Thousands of people follow you to fight and follow your will to move forward. The passion forged by blood and fire is really overwhelming. It is intoxicating.

It is different from strategizing and controlling the overall situation above the temple,

It is also different from the Taishan Beidou on the road of Wendao, where the breeze comes slowly,

It's direct, it's realistic, it's direct.

Uncle Zheng's previous pre-war mobilization was really inspiring, because after all, Ke Yan's troops were new arrivals, just like newly adopted pets, and they had to be brushed along its fur first.

When Xue Haijun's side had already lined up and charged, the Naiman's side had just rectified their troops.

The Naiman tribe, who had been on the offensive for the past few days, seemed to be unable to cope with the sudden attack of the Yan army. This was not the stupidity of the leader.

It was because the military system of the savage tribes when they fought was too rough, even low-level.

Firstly, the command division is not clear, the coach can only control the part of his direct line, and the rest of the arrangement can only be done by other nobles around him, and those nobles will command their own direct line.

This is the same as the engineering subcontracting of later generations. If the subcontracting is carried out layer by layer, the quality will only get worse and worse.

At the same time, the efficiency of operation is also extremely low.

And because the eldest prince led five thousand warriors from the Naiman tribe back to aid, the vacant part is actually the real backbone. After losing the constraints of the backbone, the soldiers and horses of other nobles are fine, and at least they can move slowly. It can be sorted out, but the cannon fodder soldiers composed of servants and slaves cannot be mobilized as normal as before.

To put it bluntly, a savage fighting a war is like a hunter with a hunting dog. When the hunter is too weak to suppress the hunting dog, he has to worry about being backlashed at any time.

If the eldest prince is still here, or if the second prince is the chief general, they can use their status as princes to directly kill chickens and monkeys, because they kill people, which is justified.

But King Naiman chose his younger brother to be the coach because he was worried about his son leading the army to seize power and counterattack him. This coach is capable, but in fact, he has no influence in the clan. The reason why he has been keeping a low profile and won't be suspected by Naiman King.

Therefore, all kinds of reasons are tied down.

When Uncle Zheng led the warriors of the Keyan tribe to charge at a high speed, the Naiman tribe over there was able to form a decent formation.

If it was in the past, if it was the Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army or even his own Sheng Le veterans, Uncle Zheng really wasn't worried about this kind of opponent.

But because this is a new barbarian soldier, he has to be a little worried.

It is Jinshu that commands the overall situation.

This was an order from Uncle Zheng himself, which moved Jin Shu so much that he came to Uncle Zheng to ask him about tactics last night.

Uncle Zheng was not stingy, and directly analyzed the situation of the enemy and ourselves with him, and summed up the theme of "defeating the enemy at once".

In fact, he didn't say anything at all, but Jin Shuke felt greatly inspired.

After all, Uncle Zheng is the "personal" disciple of the Marquis of Jingnan, and since he was in the army, he has been invincible in all battles. There are countless victories in various battles, such as winning more with less or winning with surprise attacks.

Of course, this time it's really not that Uncle Zheng was cowardly, but for the sake of safety. At the same time, the biggest problem is that he thinks it is difficult to command a barbarian army that has not undergone training. It's better to fight this battle down-to-earth first.

when attacking,

Jin Shuke's eyes were flushed, and he was extremely excited. Uncle's intention for his cultivation could not be more obvious.

At the same time, recalling that I have come step by step from a barbarian slave to today, my uncle's great kindness to me is really higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea.

Uncle Zheng didn't have time to think about Jin Shuke's mood at the moment. Although he didn't personally direct it, in his heart, he was already silently deducing the direction and planning of the battle situation.

No matter what, in the future there will always be a battle that I personally command, and I can't just learn the dragon-slaying skill and not use it.

To Ah Ming's relief, this time, his master did not take the initiative to charge forward, but found a small slope to watch the battle, and at the same time, there were a group of Xue San's men guarding him.

These people may not be as effective as the regular army when organized into a battle. After all, they are no longer used to the scene of opening and closing, but if the situation turns sharply, it is not a problem to rely on them to protect and escape back to Xueguan.

On the contrary, the Pixiu under Zheng Fan's crotch seems to be very eager to go to the battlefield, but his master is unwilling to satisfy him, making it very depressed, and can't help but keep digging holes with his hooves.

"The cavalry on the front two wings staggered, and the arrows suppressed it." Zheng Fan muttered to himself.

Sure enough, under the command of Jin Shuke, a total of more than 4,000 cavalrymen of the Keyan tribe who charged ahead did not take the initiative to collide with the Naiman tribe. The way of pulling the flanks was detoured, and at the same time, the bow and arrow began to be thrown.

The savages are fishermen and hunters, and the familiar savages in the Tianduan Mountains can even farm. Therefore, in terms of living conditions and harshness, they are actually better than the barbarians.

In the same way, the riding and archery skills of the barbarians are generally much better than that of the barbarians.

Although the warriors of the Ke Yan tribe at this time are not as good as the Xuehai regular army under Uncle Zheng's men, but against the Naiman tribe, their armor rate is actually not high, everyone is equally divided.

The real reason for this is because of iron and armor, such war supplies, the Savage King actually plundered them and quickly equipped them for his subordinates. It is impossible for such things to be left unused now and transported back to the snowy field as treasures.

At the same time, all kinds of craftsmen from Jin land who were arrested back then were originally allocated to the tribes that supported the wild man king.

But because the main force of the savage king was buried in Jin, the armor and weapons were naturally left behind. In addition, the tribe that originally received craftsmen and had a long-term vision was annexed by other savage tribes because of the loss of too many warriors in the tribe. Encountered loss, resulting in Xueyuan's smelting and forging technology, in fact, there is no obvious improvement.

That's why the people with lofty ideals on the snowy field felt that after they lost the wildling king, there was no hope for the snowy field.

The arrow's attack focused on the two wings, while the two wings of the Naiman tribe consisted of the servant army and the slave army. After the attack, these two armies, which accounted for more than 10,000 people, suddenly became disordered.

On the small slope, Uncle Zheng continued to "spiritually command".

"Two wings, piercing."

The battle between the two sides is actually still going on. Both sides are mainly cavalry, so everything is progressing very quickly.

After the more than 4,000 Keyan warriors in front adopted devious tactics, the follow-up 3,000 Keyan warriors, led by their young patriarch Ke Yandong, raised their horse speed to the extreme, but did not take the initiative to confront the Naiman tribe. The army charged head-on, let go of his middle door, and turned to the side, the angle was not too big, but it turned the direction of the arrow's sprint, directly facing the flank of the Naiman army, which is where the servant army was. Hit it hard!

This kind of hand-to-hand combat, this kind of cavalry's most direct collision, is often the most disliked by generals but the fastest effective method on the battlefield.

I don't like it because the cavalry is too expensive, and the quick effect is that the galloping horses are rushing towards you in groups. This is a terrible blow to the opponent's morale.

When the Eighth Route Army of later generations fought against the Japanese army, they also knew that they had to fight the puppet army first. The method used by the Keyan army now is actually exactly the same.

The servant army was originally a team of the Naiman tribe who had been forcibly detained as slaves by annexing other tribes recently. How could such a team have much combat effectiveness?

Moreover, the headquarters of the Naiman Department had just transferred 5,000 elite troops, which directly caused a huge imbalance in the composition of the army.

Therefore, after Ke Yandong led his people to fight selflessly, except for the beginning, there was still some resistance, but slowly, the momentum of progress began to accelerate.

The right-wing servant army was directly pierced, triggering a collapse. This collapse was like a dam being torn down, which quickly led to a chain reaction.

The large number of servants on the collapsed right wing fled to the center, which directly disrupted the deployment of the Naiman army in the center, making this part of the force that should have the strongest fighting will and the strongest combat effectiveness before it really played its part. When he came out, he was directly led astray by his own people.

far away,

Uncle Zheng drew a circle with his hand,

road:

"Rear piercing."

The detoured cavalry on both wings led by Jin Shuke bypassed the main force of the Naiman army from the side, and then began to penetrate in a timely manner from the oblique rear.

Uncle Zheng saw this,

smack your lips,

Take out the Chinese iron box,

smoke a cigarette,

Slowly give yourself some points.

A Ming on the side said: "The Lord is wise."

To be honest, Ah Ming really admired him.

Zheng Fan shook the soot disapprovingly, and said:

"It's not me who is directing."

A Ming was about to speak, but Zheng Fan was the first to say:

"Don't tell me it's different from what I command."

A Ming closed his mouth.

Uncle Zheng stretched himself,

The game is set.

Sure enough, the Naiman army collapsed, first it lost its formation, then lost its organizational system, then the command system failed, and then the entire army collapsed.

In fact, there were really not many people who were killed or injured in the actual fighting between the two sides, and they only accounted for a very small proportion.

But in many wars, especially in field battles, there is rarely a situation of rigid consumption and killing, even in siege battles.

This set of combat methods is exactly the same as that used when Jingnan Hou Tian Wujing commanded the elite Jingnan Army of the Zhenbei Army to decisively battle the main force of the Savage King's army.

It is bullying that your troops are mixed, that you are assembled goods, that you are not monolithic, and then, you have a unified command and belief on your side, cutting and disintegrating you, and then killing you after you collapse.

Wolves often use similar methods when hunting prey in packs that far outnumber them.

If you insist on saying how high the fighting order and literacy of the warriors of the Keyan tribe are, this is actually not accurate, but the key point is that they are a tribe.

They have come to a strange place after traveling thousands of miles, facing a new environment, they will instinctively unite more.

That's why he dared to disperse the already small number of troops, and that's why he dared to completely let go of his center.

Generally speaking, it is a big taboo to disassemble the troops in the middle lane. In field encounters, it is actually a big taboo, because it is easy to disassemble, but it will be very difficult if you want to reassemble it. up.

But you have to dare to do it, you have to dare to bet, you have to dare to fight, so that you dare to hope for the most satisfactory result.

After the army of the Naiman tribe collapsed, the following people were actually hunted down.

Uncle Zheng has seen similar scenes like this a lot. In fact, Yan people are best at this kind of warfare, which will defeat you and turn you from an army into a group of goats.

"The Lord doesn't seem very happy?" A Ming said.

"The opponent is too good, so there is no sense of accomplishment."

then,

Zheng Fan waved to those who protected him around him again, saying:

"Come on, don't let the big fish escape."

Chasing and escaping is destined not to be a matter that can be decided in a short time. After all, there are four-legged people in the majority on both sides. Possibility of a threat to you.

After this is resolved, we will move forward and cooperate with Liang Cheng to attack the Naiman headquarters. This expedition will probably come to an end.

even,

Zheng Fan felt that even if he didn't help Liang Cheng, with Liang Cheng's ability, although he didn't lead many soldiers and horses, but they were serious Xuehai cavalry elites, Liang Cheng would probably be able to handle that man alone. big prince.

Throwing away the cigarette butt without public morals,

Zheng Fan stretched extremely lazy,

A long sigh escaped from his throat,

To A Ming said:

"I want to take a bath."

"My lord, the deep pool is just beside here."

"I want to take a hot bath."

"This subordinate will boil water for you."

"I want a massage."

"Subordinates also..."

Zheng Fan glanced at A Ming.

A Ming nodded,

have to,

You are thinking of Si Niang.

...

"I said, you are recovering well now."

in the dungeon,

The Savage King reached through the iron fence and grabbed a handful of peanuts from the plate in front of him.

Sitting outside the fence is the Juggernaut.

"Thanks to you, it's okay."

The Juggernaut poured two glasses of wine, put one in front of the barbarian king's fence, and held the other by himself.

"Hey, it's boring to stay in the city, right?" the Savage King asked.

After all, the Juggernaut is a man of the rivers and lakes, and he is used to freedom. Although Xuehaiguan is large, it is equivalent to a dwelling for the Juggernaut.

"It's okay, send the children to school every day, and wait for the daughter-in-law to come back at night to cook and eat."

"And at night?"

The Savage King asked while throwing a peanut into his mouth.

"Oh, I forgot, you are not in good shape yet, ha ha."

The Juggernaut took a sip of his wine.

"Calculating the time, Uncle Zheng should have reached the Naiman Department by now."

"I heard that you were the one who conspired?"

"It seems that they really regard you as their own. The people in this earl are really strange. He is not an emperor, and he has an ordinary background. How can he recruit so many talents in just a few years?

As for the blind man,

Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense,

If I don't lose,

He didn't even frown when he was given the position of Grand Master. "

The Juggernaut also nodded. He lived in Shengle City for a long time, and at the same time, he also got along with Zheng Fan and the demon kings for a long time.

"Maybe, some people are lucky."

"Hey, my luck is actually not bad. If you hadn't cut me off with your crippled sword, I should still be happy on the snowy field now."

There is a lot of time in the dungeon, few things, and a lot of replays.

In the eyes of the Savage King, the direct reason for his downfall was that the Sword Master Xueguan killed Grimu with his sword.

If Gerimu was there, the Yan army might not be able to defend Xueguan. If he had not been trapped by Xueguan, the decisive battle at Wangjiang would not have happened. He would return with a full load and calmly integrate the entire snowfield.

But two great enemies,

At this time, they can sit together drinking wine and eating side dishes.

But there is no sympathy between the two of them.

For Juggernaut,

A peaceful life, mellow, but inevitably a bit too peaceful, so let's take a look at the Savage King,

Seeing him suffer so badly,

I am happy in my heart.

As far as the Savage King is concerned, there are too few people who can enter the dungeon where he is imprisoned. He is happy to have the sword master come to talk to him.

"Actually, I know what you mean, do you think it's hard for you to understand that I'm helping the Earl's Mansion make plans to deal with Xueyuan?

Hey, no, you should be able to understand, because haven't you done this before? "

Betrayed the Jin emperor,

Kill the old head of the Situ family,

You Juggernaut does a lot of things like this.

"I'm different from you." The Juggernaut insisted.

"Different routes lead to the same goal."

The Savage King stretched out his hand, grabbed another handful of peanuts, and continued to peel them. At the same time, he continued:

"Look at what life you are living now. After I am finished, your mission has also been completed. Now in this snowy sea, aren't you just living your own little life?

Big winds and big waves, you have seen everything you should have seen. As for you, although you are a person in the world, you have always wanted to do something for Jin, and you have worked hard to do it, although it was a mess. "

"..." Juggernaut.

"As for me, I'm better than you. I almost made it, but... well, I failed in the end anyway. Let's be honest, even if I don't make any suggestions now, I will wait for the Earl's Mansion to raise it for two or three years. Come on, Xueyuan, isn't it a place where they can come and go whenever they want?

It makes no difference.

I have a clear conscience, and to tell you something from the bottom of my heart, I just want to save my life and live for myself, and I want to get out of this cage as soon as possible.

At night, I can buy a bag of peanuts, walk to your door, and knock on the door.

As for your son, bring me a bench and call him uncle, and sister-in-law, see me coming, fry up another plate of chicken.

This is enough. "

The Juggernaut nodded.

"You think so too?" the Savage King asked.

"Well, if I didn't know who you are, I would have been cheated by you."

"There is still a need for sincerity between people."

"You, sorry."

"I accept your apology."

"Ah."

"Don't think that I am whimsical, and don't think that it is impossible for me to come out in this life, or that once I come out, it will be the day when I will be sent to the guillotine.

Don't underestimate our Uncle Zheng,

His ambition is actually very big.

In fact, I was also surprised. It stands to reason that young nobles, who are valued by the Marquis of Jingnan and appreciated by the Emperor Yan, should almost die as scholars and confidants, right?

He is different. He gives me the feeling that he is trying his best to prepare for secession or even rebellion. This makes no sense, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. "

The Juggernaut frowned slightly.

because,

In the circle that can get in touch with Zheng Fan, basically,

Every passerby knows Uncle Zheng's heart.

"Someday, when he has finished tidying up the snowfield, and someday, when the snowfield is nothing in his eyes, I will probably be able to come out.

Both of us are actually arrogant, but what is the difference?

It's not that I'm sowing discord, no matter how noble your sword master is, once you recover from your injuries, if something happens to him and Uncle Zheng is assassinated, can you not save him?

If he asks you to help kill a person and cries to you a few times, will you lend him your Dragon Yuan?

In fact, you also understand in your heart that you already owe too much to others, a debt of favor, a debt of favor, you can't help yourself. "

"Oh, I'm from Jin."

"Transparent."

The Savage King raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, let's go together."

light touch,

The Juggernaut still drank it lightly, while the Savage King drank it all in one gulp.

"As for me, I'm just waiting for that day. I believe that there will be that day. I just hope that when I come out, you don't strike me with your sword."

"I still don't want you out."

"I know, I know, so you can do nothing else in your life except wielding the sword."

The Savage King leaned against the fence, threw the peanut shells in his hands above his head, and watched the peanut crumbs fall down profusely.

Said with emotion:

"Life is just a dream. When you wake up, if you are in a good mood, you will continue to do it. If you are not in a good mood, you will just sit in a daze until you forget whether you are awake or dreaming. .”

The Juggernaut stood up, as if he was about to leave.

"Stay no longer?"

"Listening to your emotion, it doesn't make any sense."

"Unfeeling."

"Next time I'm in a bad mood, I'll see you again."

"Do you see what you're saying sounds like human speech?"

"You keep shutting it down, I'm leaving."

"Hey, hey, don't rush away, I had a dream tonight, do you want to know what's in the dream?"

"tonight?"

"Yeah, I'll do it tonight when I go to sleep, just say it ahead of time."

"Ah."

"In that dream, you and I were standing together, and in front of us, there were many enemies. The two of us were trapped, and the situation was very dangerous.

What do you ask me to do? "

The Juggernaut didn't speak.

"You asked me what to do."

"Ask me what to do?"

The Juggernaut took a breath.

"Quickly ask!"

"What should I do?" Juggernaut.

"Hey, do you know how I answered?"

"I asked."

The Savage King suddenly grabbed the iron fence with both hands,

While shaking the fence and making a sound, he laughed loudly:

"I said, Dad, don't ask any more questions, take your son and run away with me!"
