Chapter 252

Three months have passed since the battle of Cangzhou.

The city gate, which had been blasted by barbarian gunpowder, had been restored to its original appearance with the repair of craftsmen. Only the red soil on the ground proved that there had been an extremely fierce war.

On the city wall, Cangzhou soldiers in full armor patrol back and forth, watching warily the merchants coming in and out of the city gate.

Although the state of Dayu was at war with the barbarians, the king of Qi didn't issue an order to prohibit the trade with the barbarians. On the contrary, the merchants came in and out more frequently.

However, every merchant entering the grass must hold the pass issued by Qingzhou, and the goods traded are also subject to strict restrictions.

"Your Highness, now 100 guns have been installed on the gate, which is equal to five meters. The quantity of ammunition is also very sufficient. Now the morale of the soldiers is very high, and they all want to fight with the barbarians!"

After arriving in Cangzhou, Xiao Ming and others first went to the city tower to check the armament situation. Chen Fu introduced them with full confidence.

The victory of Cangzhou war last time is not only an honor for the people of the fiefdom, but also a change in their fear of the barbarians. In particular, the change in the soldiers' attitude from talking about barbarians to actively fighting now is the most precious.

An army with high morale and an army ready to flee at any time have completely different effects in war.

"It's hard for the soldiers to have such a high morale. Strategically, they should despise the enemy, but tactically, they should pay attention to the enemy. They can't despise the enemy just because of the last victory." Xiao Ming looked up at the boundless grassland.

At that invisible end, Beishan's blood wolf tribe has wandered on this land, which is the former homeland of Dayu state. It is precisely because of the loss of the horse breeding land of Yanyun sixteen states that Dayu state can't compete with the barbarian's cavalry and can only defend passively.

Zhan Xingchang has been preparing for the construction of the city wall in Cangzhou City for the past two months. At this time, he said, "Your Highness, the barbarians are afraid to attack us when we build the city wall. Now the barbarians seem to have learned to be smart. Their cavalry are no longer gathered together, but scattered, so even the fire cannons can hardly hit them."

"This time 2000 cavalry came to Cangzhou to solve this problem. We can't defend passively any more. We should take the initiative to attack. We can find the enemy's advantage in advance by using the telescope and attack the blood wolf tribe in turn." Xiao Ming said.

He hesitated for a long time. There were few cavalry in Qingzhou, but if the city wall could not be built, it would be even worse.

Therefore, this time Niu Zhen and Lu Fei will lead cavalry into the grassland, relying on Cangzhou City to carry out the burning, killing and looting of the barbarian tribes on the grassland, which is also to fight poison with poison and to fight tooth for tooth.

Zhan Xingchang nodded, "Your Highness is finally willing to make this decision. The barbarians always regard the people of Dayu as inferior people, so they never show mercy when slaughtering the people of Dayu. It's the same as slaughtering cattle and sheep. This time they fight back on the grassland, they can't have any kindness to the barbarians' old and young women and children. Moreover, the blood wolf tribe has a large number of people, so please don't ask the commander of cattle To be able to love war, we should adopt the method of retreating when we meet the strong, killing when we meet the weak, running when we have fought, and attacking with the East and the West. We should never fight head-on. "

"It's too despicable to show the history of assassins. In this way, what's the difference between us and the barbarians?" Lu Fei was dissatisfied and said, "at least I can't do anything about killing old and young women and children."

Xiao Ming looks at Zhan Xingchang unexpectedly. At this time, Zhan Xingchang's words have some thoughts about guerrilla warfare of later generations.

He said to Lufei: "pedantic, when the barbarians killed my people, did they consider the old, children, women and children? Don't you forget that the barbarians dismount as the people and mount as the soldiers? Forget the 80000 people of Chongqing who were driven to death in the battle of Cangzhou? If you hold such an idea, you don't want to go to Lufei when you attack grassland this time. Go back to Qingzhou. "

Lu Fei was scolded by Xiao Ming and shrunk his neck. He said with a smile, "Your Highness, I will listen to you."

Xiao Ming snorted and said, "this time the assassin of the exhibition is right. There must be no women's benevolence towards the barbarians, and this time you must be strong and clear and combine guerrilla warfare."

"Guerrilla warfare?" Niu Zhen and other generals asked.

Xiao Ming nodded, "this guerrilla war is a tactic adopted when the enemy is strong and we are weak. I don't want to say much about the situation of a strong wall and a clear field. This time when we meet the nomadic tribes of the barbarians, we will take what we can take away and kill what we can't take away."

"As for the guerrilla warfare, what Zhan Shishi said is very clear, but now our king wants to formally include this tactic in the cavalry combat mode. We must take this method when we enter the grassland this time. Otherwise, if we do not take the guerrilla tactics and lose our troops, our king will certainly cut off his head. There is no joke in the army, and our king's words will be left here." Xiao Mingsu said.

In terms of military management, Xiao Ming can't talk about human feelings. No matter Niu Zhen, Lu Fei or Luo Xin, they can't act recklessly. If they give orders, all generals will follow. This is his army.

Niu Zhen and Lu Fei look solemn. On weekdays, it's nothing to make fun of each other, but at this time, they are soldiers.

"Yes, your highness!" Said the generals.

Xiao Ming went on to say: "next, I'll tell you what guerrilla warfare is and how it is used. The general principle of this method of guerrilla warfare has only one sentence. If the enemy advances, I retreat, I harass, I fight when the enemy is tired, and I pursue when the enemy retreats. If we can stab a cold knife in the back, we will never fight a frontal battle..."Combined with the knowledge in the science and Technology Library, Xiao Ming imparted the essence of guerrilla warfare to Niu Zhen and others, and then came up with several specific combat examples. These examples are modern, but they were adapted by him.

In the process of guerrilla warfare, Xiao Ming also made Niu Zhen pursue the same war terrorism as the barbarians - massacre, because only in this way can the barbarians be deterred, and the barbarians be exhausted in pursuit of this group of cavalry.

Xiao Ming's speech was an hour, and Niu Zhen and others gradually understood it.

Niu Zhen said: "Your Highness, I understand. This time, I will live up to your Highness's expectations."

"Old general, I want you to go out in person this time, just because only you have the experience of fighting barbarians on the grassland." Xiao Ming said.

Niu Zhen said: "Your Highness, you can see the truth. It's the duty of the soldiers to be loyal to the king and the country. They are quite old and honest. Can they still make a living? What's more, I'm Niu Zhen in my prime. Even if I want to express my gratitude to your highness, I can't shirk it. "

Xiao Ming arched his hand. He looked at Lu Fei. This boy can fight and cause trouble. He warned: "Lu Fei, this time is different from the past. Don't be willful. Otherwise, I won't be polite."
