Chapter 210 Wonderful and Cruel
Every moment in life is unique. You can never go back to the past or the future - from the day Xiao Linglong left to now, Chu Tianya's feeling is getting deeper and deeper.
This feeling extends to every detail of his life. Whether it is a brother like Meng De or an ordinary copycat pawn, or even the remnants in the sunset seen when walking in the evening, Chu Tianya will treat and experience it with heart.
People are often sad and regretful because they can't get it or "lost it". Chu Tianya once did the same, which means that when he had just crossed to the Song Dynasty, he almost had a mental breakdown because of his nostalgia for his hometown and relatives. But now he feels more and more that cherishing everything in front of him is really worth doing.
For men, there is nothing more worth cherishing and really want to have than the two things, rivers and beauty. So Chu Tianya swore to himself that he would never let Xiao Linglong leave him again and let her be hurt again; then - go all out to fight the big country in his heart!
This country may not be true. Long Deng Baoding has become the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Chu Tianya never fantasizes about things that are too far away. It can be to create an iron army that can compete with the Jurz-Ji cavalry. It can defeat Wanyan Zonghan to defend Hedong and Taiyuan again, or it can turn the tide to prevent the occurrence of the "Jingkang Change" and let history completely change its trajectory!
The words of the rosefinch impressed Chu Tianya deeply and often echoed in his mind - hard work is not necessarily successful, and if you don't work hard, there must be no chance.
The reason is very simple, and everyone can understand it; those who can always do this in life are not sages or warriors.
Chu Tianya's determination is as firm as last winter. At that time, he was alone and created the miracle of the "Taiyuan Defense War"; now he has 100,000 troops under his command, and he firmly believes that he and these brothers can create miracles again!
Ten days later, the Hedong military exercise began vigorously.
Chu Tianya didn't know what kind of words Zhang Xiaochun used, and persuaded the desperate princes and ministers in the court to agree with the soldiers and horses of Hedong Xuanfu Division to participate in this military exercise. Chu Tianya only felt from Zhang Xiaochun's words that the court's attitude towards this exercise was nonsense.
Chu Tianya smiled, and I made a scene. What's wrong with you?
It can be seen that Zhang Xiaochun withstood great pressure to promote this matter. Although he, a border minister, did not dare to disobey the intention of the court at all, he knew better how important this military exercise was to the border defense of Taiyuan, which was directly related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and even the safety of the Song Dynasty. The people in the court didn't understand, and Zhang Xiaochun knew it very well. Therefore, compared with being scolded and criticized, Zhang Xiaochun still stiffened his neck to facilitate this matter. From this point of view, Zhang Xiaochun still has a little sense of responsibility and responsibility, which has always made Chu Tianya very satisfied.
With the Rebels and the officers and soldiers, the actual number of people participating in the war reached 150,000. According to the prior arrangement, the people were divided into two parts. One of them is Jiao Wentong as the commander-in-chief and acts as an " imaginary enemy". Under his command, he has half of the leaders such as Bai Xu, the generals Xue Yu, Wang Xun and Liang Xing, and half of the Xuanfu officers.
Chu Tianya's intention is obvious. The imaginary enemy must be strong to simulate a little actual combat effect. Needless to say, Jiao Wentong's actual combat ability is. The Xiaoqi under his command is now the strongest combat power in Hedong, which is most suitable to simulate the cavalry of the Golden Kingdom. In addition, there are also Bai Xu, who is a mastermind and a mastermind who knows Chu Tianya very well. Xue Yu, an officer from a professional background, is a general, and an officer of Xuanfu, who knows the terrain and customs of Hedong well. Jiao Wentong's army is a strong enemy for Chu Tianya. They are even more difficult than Jin Bing, for only one reason - understand.
The art of war says that knowing yourself and knowing your enemy is invincible, not just talking about it. At this time last year, the powerful Wanyan Zonghan fell a big follower here in Taiyuan. After all, isn't it because he underestimated Taiyuan and unexpectedly appeared such a major variable as Chu Tianya?
Chu Tianya intends to set up such a powerful enemy for himself. Now, except for the Twelve Qingwei and Hu Benqi, there are actually no generals and troops around him. Among the many leaders, Jiao Wentong is undoubtedly the one with the strongest ability to fight, followed by Xue Yu, Ma Yu and Wang Xun, who are from officers. Now, there is only one horse expansion left around Chu Tianya, and the rest are Meng De, the leader of wild mountain thieves. In terms of military deployment and strategy, Chu Tianya also doesn't compare with Bai Wei. The white-haired fox didn't stop in his mind for a moment, thinking about how to figure out other people's thoughts and how to expect the enemy to take the lead in the track.
In the other party's camp, it is vain that he knows Chu Tianya best and is also the most dangerous.
At the meeting in advance, Chu Tianya repeatedly stressed that this military exercise must be serious. No one is allowed to neglect his duty or "intentionally release water". Everyone must strictly abide by the rules of the exercise and must not violate or cheat. If you perform well, you will be rewarded for your achievements; on the contrary, you will be punished according to the law.
In a word, this is a real war. At the beginning of the exercise, the brothers who had just talked and laughed together were already enemies.
As for the combat rules in some exercises, because there is no high-tech equipment now, Chu Tianya has set many artificial rules. Metaphorically, everyone has a ribbon on their shoulders, which are red and black, and Jiao Wentong's camp is black. The arrow shot has no arrow, but it is stained with lime powder. If it is stained with it, it will be killed in battle. Tear off the ribbon and exit the exercise. The knife and gun must not be cut at the person casually. The gun is a gun with lime powder, which is the kind used by Chu Tianya and Wang Xun when practicing guns before. A white spot on the body will be killed.
In fact, there will be fewer real confrontations on the opposite side. What this exercise really fights for is the deployment of the army during the war and the cooperation between the troops. More than 80% of the battles will be fought in the jungle, which means that there will be a lot of infiltration and reverse osmosis, ambush and anti- ambush. There must be few battles such as forced attack and confrontation between the two armies, and they are not the focus. The ability of individual combat and charge should be improved by ordinary training.
In the final analysis of this large-scale military exercise, it is the command ability of the general and the execution ability of each unit.
So, the core of success or failure lies in Chu Tianya, Jiao Wentong and Baixu.
Chu Tianya's Shuai camp is located in Xiaocang Mountain, and Jiao Wentong's Shuai camp is located at the foot of Taihang Mountain north of Xiaocang Mountain.
It took two or three days for 150,000 horses to be mobilized. After all, there are no big trucks and planes to transport soldiers now. Everyone relies on two legs.
On the side of Chu Tianya, more than 70,000 people led by the leaders divided into eight battalions with Xiaocang Mountain as the core, and set out a defensive array after the wind.
This military array is arranged by Chu Tianya according to the model in "General of Martial Arts". Of course, it has learned a lot of opinions from Ma Yan. Before he really led the army, Chu Tianya didn't understand the "array" in the ancient military tactics. Did he have to lay people and horses step by step to march and fight, and he couldn't do it in the wrong direction?
Now that I have a first-hand experience, Chu Tianya really understands the role and meaning of "array". To put it bluntly, if a force of tens of thousands of people does not go to the camp scientifically and reasonably, the command will be chaotic. It is common for its own people to rush into their own people and beat their own people. Nowadays, there are no high-tech communication tools, and all military orders are issued by flags and scouts. If the array is not even well arranged, the position of the command of theshuai battalion is not correct, the troops below can't see the flag and can't even understand the order, or the scouts can't find a place to issue the order when they run away on a horse?
Therefore, many plausal and ridiculous things that seem to be obedetuous are actually great wisdom, which contains the wisdom and painstaking efforts of dozens of generations of ancestors.
So these days, Chu Tianya has been completely as a student, constantly expanding to Ma and several leaders who have led the army to ask for these military issues. No matter how rich the theoretical knowledge is, it is not better than the insights gained in practice. Although Chu Tianya participated in the Taiyuan garrison battle, he did not really lead troops to participate in the field battle. Now every moment, he is learning. He is as modest as possible, so that he can absorb and learn these knowledge to be used in actual combat as much as possible like a sponge.
After discussing with Ma Yu and others, Chu Tianya will come back to read the books, make a final combination of theory and practice, and write his own moral notes. People are never too old to learn. The death of an old man takes away not only the grief of his relatives, but also the crystallization of wisdom. Books like "General of the Martial Arts" are the crystallization of the wisdom of countless generations of "old people" who specialize in the military industry.
Canbe worthless?
The more seriously you study, the more Chu Tianya feels his ignorance and the more awe of the "military".
An article of Sun Tzu's Military Law says that soldiers, the major event of the country, and the way of survival and death, must be noticed!
Chu Tianya's understanding is that soldiers are used to kill people!
That's right. To put it bluntly, the army is a violent institution, which is used to kill people. Whether it is aggression or resistance to aggression, it is to kill people as a means!
Whether it is "The General of Martial Arts" or the word of mouth of Ma Yu and others, they are all talking about the technology and experience of killing to Chu Tianya. A soldier learned how to kill people with knives, guns and fists, while Chu Tianya is now learning how to kill a group of people!
Can you not be in awe?
......
The exercise has begun.
There is no radar, no video, and no eavesdropper. Chu Tianya on Xiaocang Mountain doesn't know what Jiao Wentong and Bai Xi are thinking about now. All he knows is that the eight camps under his command have been laid out. The first line of defense is guarded by the veteran oil horse. In the middle is Chu Tianya's guard Hu Ben, and behind him is Meng De's Yuhou's response and food and fodder supply. Zhang Xiaochun led the Taiyuan officers and soldiers to guard the city to ensure the smooth logistics supply and retreat of the Red Army in Chu Tianya.
Jiao Wentong has not launched an attack yet.
However, the tense atmosphere has come out. This can be seen from the eyes and face of Chu Tianya and every pawn, which is completely an atmosphere. It's normal for some pawns to go into battle for the first time to scream in nightmares in the middle of the night because they were nervous.
For example, the really scary horror film is not the fierce ghost or monster in the film, but the depressing atmosphere and potential unknown danger.
Chu Tianya is very nervous now. Because he didn't know where Jiao Wentong would start to attack, and Bai Hui would come up with some tricks to attack the Red Army.
The soldier is so tricky that whoever can deceive the other party unexpectedly will have a better chance of winning.
The side of the black army is the attacking side and taking the initiative; the side of the Red Army where Chu Tianya is located takes the defensive, and the defense is always passive. Although the eight camps echo each other, and on the surface, it is still unknown whether it can really withstand the impact of Jiao Wentong, a fierce tiger in the battlefield.
There is also Bai Zhuo.
Now, Chu Tianya always has a feeling of sitting on pins and needles. He even regretted that he should not have given the hateful white-haired fox to Jiao Wentong. Because Bai Xun knows too much about Chu Tianya, his tricks are too endless, especially when he loves soldiers. He has read more military books than all the books Chu Tianya has read in his two lifetimes.
This tiger and a fox is really a perfect match.
Chu Tianya felt unprecedented pressure. Now he finally realized the mood of Wanyan Zonghan. Why did he take such a big risk to send his master Shi Li Ai to go south to Taiyuan, in order to see Chu Tianya with his own eyes.
Because in the face of an opponent you can't catch, you keep guessing how he plans to do it next, this feeling is really terrible.
The latest part outside the Shuai camp is the tiger riding led by Tang An and A Nu. He Bo led the youth guard to directly defend the commander-in-chief camp. In the handsome tent, Xiaofei and Liuhe were serving Chu Tianya, and Xiao Linglong was also there.
Chu Tianya stood in front of the map of the mountains and rivers in the east of the river and thought hard. He had been thinking for a long time. He didn't move and didn't say anything. He was as quiet as a sculpture.
At this time, Xiao Linglong will not disturb her, although she really wants to persuade Chu Tianya to take a break and relax her mind.
"Liu-in-one." Chu Tianya suddenly called out.
"Yes." The handsome and upright "Encyclopedia" Liu closed the step forward to listen to the promise.
"If you were the head of the Black Army, which camp would you start to attack from?" Chu Tianya asked.
"Lord, my subordinates have never been a general and don't know how to use soldiers." Liuhe answered truthfully.
Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "But you used to be the guard of Emperor Tianzuo. You must have heard those marshals and generals in front of the palace talk about this. Moreover, you used to be a fierce general of the three armies. Although you have not directly participated in the formulation of tactics, you must be familiar with destroying the city.
"Straight to Taiyuan." Liuhe said four words.
Chu Tianya couldn't help but be stunned, "Jiao Wentong killed Taiyuan directly? How can he break through the layers of defense here in Xiaocang Mountain?
"I don't know. The first feeling of my subordinate is to go straight to Taiyuan. Liuhe said, "Although the lord's army is guarded in Xiaocang Mountain, the city of Taiyuan is the real core of this battle. Isn't the purpose of defeating the Lord and breaking through Xiaocang Mountain in order to finally win Taiyuan? I don't know how to use soldiers. My first reaction as a general is to take Taiyuan and win!"
In Chu Tianya's mind, a bright light flashed through Mu Ran.
What is "sconception"? This is it.
As a guard, Liuhe is actually an excellent killer. Of course, his ideas are simple and straightforward. Yes, Taiyuan is the real core of this battle. In the future, Wanyan Zonghan will go south, and his ultimate goal is also Taiyuan, not to fight in the field.
So Baixu and Jiao Wentong will definitely think so.
Chu Tianya suddenly felt a little scared. Only then did he understand that these days, all his thoughts have been on how to transfer troops and how to defend the defensive formation. The inertia of people's thinking is really terrible. Just like when a person is used to mechanized work and study, he often forgets the purpose of work and study and the meaning of life.
"That Bai Xun will definitely be a strange soldier and take Taiyuan straight!" Chu Tianya twisted his eyebrows and pointed to Taiyuan on the map with one hand.
Xiao Linglong came forward and said, "But the path to Taiyuan has been blocked by our army. How can Bai Xun fight Taiyuan?"
Chu Tianya shook his head repeatedly, "The more it seems impossible, the more dangerous it is. At the beginning, Wanyan Zonghan certainly did not think that he would be defeated by Taiyuan, but he was defeated. Why?"
"Because, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Xiao Linglong nodded, "Yes, Bai Xuan has such a genius, and the second brother's Xiaoqi has such ability."
In Chu Tianya's mind, the scene when Jiao Wentong first appeared in Qingyunbao immediately came to his mind. One by one, he galloped over the mountains, as if walking on the flat ground, and then subsided the 20,000 troops!
Although he didn't have his own eyes but only heard it with his ears, he doubted the authenticity of this legend at all.
If Jiao Wentong alone has such power, what kind of power will it be with the three thousand whistling riders who have followed him for many years?
What's more, it's an exercise now, and it won't be a real shot. Jiao Wentong only needs to rush into Taiyuan City with a whistling horse, or a few people sneak into Taiyuan City, and use a means to control Zhang Xiaochun, the head of the Red Army behind Taiyuan, and the Black Army has won!
Chu Tianya took a few breaths of cold air!
There is no feeling of think tank and staff around. It's terrible. After all, Qingwei is just a guard, which can't replace the role of Bai Zhi.
"Tianya, since we think that the second brother and Bai Xi may go straight to Taiyuan, what countermeasures should we do?" Xiao Linglong asked.
Chu Tianya fell into meditation.
For a long time.
The people around me didn't dare to disturb.
Chu Tianya suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Linglong. Those eyes were shining, which made Xiao Linglong a little uncomfortable.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Why did I forget that I have the best assassin in the world?" Chu Tianya's face was full of surprise.
Xiao Linglong was shocked, "You are..."
"You guessed right!" Chu Tianya punched and shouted, "Old man! ...Qinglong!"
A gust of wind sounded, and Uncle He appeared in the account.
"What's your command?"
"I want to give the first task to Qingwei." Chu Tianya's face was very serious.
"Please give the Lord's order." He Bo answered with a straight face. That look is like going back to the scene when he was a military division and marshal under Fang La a few years ago.
"I don't care what method you use, twelve hours to assassinate the commander and division of the Black Army!" Chu Tianya said righteously, "If you succeed, bring their arm silk back to see me; if you fail..."
"Qingwei has no failure, only death." He Bo answered and dodged out. There was a buzz like a crane singing outside the tent, which was a unique whistle of Qingwei's gathering.
Xiao Linglong took a deep look at Chu Tianya and went out with Xiaofei and Liuhe.
There is only one Chu Tianya left in the account.
He suddenly sat on the handsome chair, gasping for breath and sweating cold sweat on his forehead.
Although it is just an exercise, this kind of victory or defeat is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people, which is the same.
No matter how high the honor you enjoy, how much pressure you have to bear. At this moment, Chu Tianya has a deep understanding.
"I only thought about how powerful my opponent was, but I forgot that I had the most powerful trump card in my hand! ... Ordinary people make such a mistake when they fight. Well-trained martial arts masters will definitely not do this! I'm really inexperienced!" Chu Tianya said to himself, "If Jiao Wentong and Bai Yu can be killed before the outbreak of the war, there will be no head of 70,000 or 80,000 people on the other side, and there will be no suspense about victory or defeat. Unexpectedly, the victory or defeat of 150,000 people in the war will eventually be dominated by twelve people. At this moment, are Jiao Wentong and Bai Yu also thinking about how to assassinate me or sneak into Taiyuan to kill Zhang Xiaochun? ... In the future, the competition between Qingwei and Langya will be wonderful and cruel!"
