Beigong Jing asked: "Then what do you think we should do? The enemy's troops are ten times that of our army. If we want to win, our army can only rely on this gunpowder pot and this burning bomb to win, but you make them so heavy that you can't throw them with bare hands..."

Li Rui said: "It's true that you can't throw it with your bare hands, but the trencher is OK! Let's use the trencher to kill those dogs!"

Beigong Jing said: "But the tactic I formulated was to raid the enemy camp in the early morning. The catapults were so bulky that they could not rush quickly with them!"

In ancient times, trenchers were large offensive and defensive equipment. In order to throw heavier rock bullets and to throw further, those trenchers were larger and heavier than each one. If you carry them, you should not walk faster. Since it was a sneak attack, and it was a sneak attack on the plain, then the action would definitely be faster, because the longer it drags, the greater the probability of exposure. For sneak attackers, once exposed, it would be basically a dead end. So when people do sneak attacks, they usually go lightly and don’t even bring dry food, and they will rush along with huge trenchers? Just kidding, this is not what they look for when they seek death!

Of course, it is not to say that you must not bring large equipment, but that is only when the first round of sneak attacks have succeeded and the initiative in the battlefield is taken, the troops carrying such large equipment will enter the field. Before that, everyone should go lightly and move quickly. It is better to be low-key. After all, for the sneak attack side, it is no different from looking for death.

Li Rui said: "There is no need to take a trekker to rush forward!"

Beigong Jing looked at him like an idiot: "Without taking it, how could it hit the incendiary bomb and gunpowder tank on the head of the Hu people? The Hu people's camp is several miles away from the new city!"

This is a problem. It's several miles away. Not to mention a human-powered trench trench and thirty kilograms, a machine that can only shoot two or three hundred meters away from the stone bullet weighing 200 kilograms, even if you pull the red-clothed cannon over, it won't be so far away. After all, not anyone's cannon can be as eroded as a big man. After several miles, if you don't transport the trench trench over, no matter how powerful the gunpowder tank is, with the pitiful range of the trench, it will at most scare the Hu people. With this distance as a buffer, the Hu general can easily suppress the riot caused by panic.

And take the trencher to rush...

I'm afraid that I will be intercepted and killed by the Hu army before halfway, and the sneak attack will eventually turn into a bubble!

This is a dilemma.

However, in Li Rui's opinion, this is not a difficult problem at all. He said: "We don't need to win by sneak attacks!"

Beigong Jing told him to make trouble: "We have only a little force, how can we win without sneak attacks!"

Li Rui gestured with his hands: "I just said there was no need to win by sneak attacks, but I never said there was no sneak attack! We can go in two steps, organize a suicide squad first, find the right opportunity to go out of the city quietly, find the right camp to launch a surprise attack, fuck them hard, kill a group of Hu people, and then sneak back to the city quickly... You must make sure to launch a surprise attack in the early morning. When it is retreating, it will be dawn, and the Hu people will find that our army attacking their camp is actually very few, and they will definitely pursue it in anger..."

Beigong Jing nodded slightly to agree. The Hu people are indeed vengeful. They will find the losses wherever they suffer. Once they find that there are only a thousand and hundreds of people in the Liangzhou army that sneaked into their camp, they will definitely chase and fight hard, and try to get rid of them. When he was in Liangzhou, he used the psychological characteristics of the Hu people many times to ambush them and killed many Hu people.

"What then?" he asked.

Li Rui said: "Then our infantry will naturally line up outside the city to receive the sneak attack cavalry! The Hu people are mainly light cavalry, and they run fast enough, but their protection capabilities are really not very good. We will give them a big gift and use all the more than a thousand consecutive bows. In one round of fierce shooting, they knocked down the pursuers by 50 or 60% and added fuel to the fire!"

Beigong Jing said: "This tactic is good, but it is still not enough to defeat the army of tens of thousands of Hu people."

Li Rui said: "I don't expect to defeat the main Hu people with one round of fierce shooting! Whether it is sneak attack or hitting a scoundrel, it is mainly to anger the commander of the Hu people. After inexplicably losing so many people, he must have been so angry that his beard was raised. He saw the main force of our army lined up outside the city to challenge them, he..."

Beigong Jing said: "He will mobilize the main force to come over, try to annihilate our army outside the city, and then break the city in one fell swoop!"

Li Rui said: "Yes! At this time, we can use the trencher to launch incendiary bombs and gunpowder tanks to smash the heads of the Hu people! Tens of thousands of troops surrounded thousands of people on three sides, crowded, and they could hit them with their eyes closed!" At this point, his handsome face also had a bit of ruthlessness, and he said viciously: "I want to see, when tens of thousands of people are panicked, how can their commander restrain the soldiers to keep their positions unstable! Once they are confused..."

Beigong Jing said in a stern tone: "Their end will come!"

Li Rui said: "Yes! Tens of thousands of people were panicked, afraid that more people who died of trampling on each other than those who were hacked to death by me!"

Beigong Jing looked at him and said, "First, the light cavalry attacked and led the enemy to chase him, and then used infantry to block the enemy's main force to fight to the decisive battle. It was not until the end that the trump card was revealed... Li Rui, you are such a tactical genius!"

Li Rui made him feel a little embarrassed to praise him, waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Major General, don't praise me like this. I'm not a tactical genius. It's okay for me to talk about it on paper. If I really let me command and implement it, it's hard to guarantee that I'm not the second Zhao Kuo! I can only provide some ideas. The specific implementation depends on you!"

Beigong Jing smiled: "Zhao Kuo...isn't he just knows how to talk about war on paper! He can lead the army surrounded on all sides and run out of food to fight with the killing god Bai Qi for more than 40 days. The morale of the army has remained unshakable and always obeyed his orders. When did he become a waste who only knows how to talk about war on paper?"

Li Rui couldn't help but be stunned: "Major General, do you have such a high opinion of Zhao Kuo?"

Beigong Jing said: "The people who truly know the military have a low opinion of him. The so-called military talk on paper is just the words of a historian who knows nothing about military affairs. You have a good tactical thinking and a genius. If you give me more ideas in the future, it will be of great help to me."

Li Rui was a little flattered: "The Major General is so respectful, I can only help with advice in the future. I hope the Major General will not blame me for being too bad in the future!"

In fact, he was really talking about the war on paper, stewing PLA's best-in-class night attack, seducing the enemy, concentrating superior firepower to kill the enemy, etc., and then simmering it out. There are too many things that are taken for granted here. If he really wants to command, it is very likely to turn into a disaster. Command is an art, not everyone can master it. It requires a master's heart and oral teaching. At the same time, he has to struggle in the sea of ​​corpses and blood again and again, fully stimulate his talents, and theories he has learned.

Knowledge is perfectly integrated into practice. Most people will die in the process of exploring and accumulating experience. Only a few people can reach the end and become famous generals that have attracted worldwide attention. He asked himself that he did not have this talent, nor did he systematically learn tactical command. Letting him command wars was to take human life. So that night Beigong Jing stuffed him into the arrow tower and let him stay inside. Cao Hu commanded the sergeant with full authority was undoubtedly the most correct choice. If he really ordered, God knew how many people would die.

However, he can still help Beigong Jing come up with ideas. We can't play with the specific implementation, but it doesn't prevent me from having a big brain!

Beigong Jing smiled and said, "If you have any suggestions in the future, just put them in place or not, how to implement them after they are adopted, and how the implementation will be effective, that is my business, you don't have to worry about it." Originally, brain storms are the work of a strategist, and picking out the most reliable, the lowest risk and the highest cost-effectiveness from many suggestions to implement them is the job of the commander. You can't expect the strategist to do all the work for you, right? Not all strategists have turned their imagination that day into a practical implementation plan!

————The leader does not need to be smarter than all his subordinates, but he must know how to choose the most reliable one from the plans provided by his subordinates, intercept the most brilliant part from his subordinates' suggestions, and avoid those things that are too wild but heart-warming. Many times, the ideas that the counselors come up with are not so reliable. For example, Guo Jia, a famous counselor in the Three Kingdoms, often has some presumptuous elements in his plan, and hand over the initiative to his opponent. As long as there is a wrong link, then

It is just that everything is lost and it will never be restored. There is really every link in this world that can be implemented smoothly without any wrong plans? What a joke? The most typical one is the Battle of Bailang Mountain. Cao Cao led the army and baggage to move slowly. Guo Jia thought that the army was very fast, so he suggested that Cao Cao abandon the baggage and infantry, and lead five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to move quickly. He caught the Wuhuan people off guard. Cao Cao followed his advice and led the tiger and leopard cavalry to leave the large army and run thousands of miles away. Finally, he collided with the Wuhuan army at Bailang Mountain...

Everyone knows the result of this battle. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is worthy of being the most powerful cavalry unit in East Asia at that time. Although it was exhausted, it still burst out with strong combat power under the inspiration of famous generals such as Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Xu Huang. They wiped out tens of thousands of Wuhuan army at the cost of more than half of the casualties and wounded, and killed the Great Shanyu Tadun in a formation, achieving brilliant results. But the victory of this battle was too dangerous, which shocked Cao Cao in a cold sweat. What if the army at that time were not in a marching state, but stayed in the city? If the army did not fight with him, but harassed him with light cavalry, the main force retreated to the city and wasted him? What if Zhang Liao did not take the lead and cut off Tadun? What would the result of this battle be?

Without strong strength and a strong heart, it is best not to use a strategist like Guo Jia who loves to make strange plans, otherwise he can kill you.
