Iron Dynasty

Three months have passed since the Battle of Cangzhou in a blink of an eye.

The city gate that was once blasted by the gunpowder of the barbarians has been restored to its original appearance under the repairs of the craftsmen. Only the red soil on the ground proves that there has been an extremely tragic war here.

On the city wall, Cangzhou soldiers in full armor patrolled back and forth, watching the merchants coming and going through the city gate vigilantly.

Although the Kingdom of Da Yu and the barbarians were at war, King Qi did not issue an order to prohibit trade with the barbarians, and instead, merchants entered and exited more frequently.

It's just that every merchant who enters the grass must hold a pass issued by Qingzhou, and the goods traded are also strictly restricted.

"His Royal Highness, there are now a hundred artillery installed on the city gate, which is equivalent to five meters each, and the quantity of ammunition is also very sufficient. Now the morale of the soldiers is high, and they all want to fight the barbarians!"

After arriving in Cangzhou, Xiao Ming and others first went to the watchtower to check the situation of the armament. Chen Fu introduced it with confidence.

The victory in the battle of Cangzhou last time was not only an honor for the people of the fief, but also changed the fear of the barbarians from the heart, especially the soldiers changed from talking about barbarism before to actively seeking war. This change of state is the most precious.

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

"The morale of the soldiers is so high, it's rare, but strategically, we must despise the enemy, but we must take the enemy tactically. You can't despise the enemy because of the last victory." Xiao Ming raised his eyes and looked at the boundless grassland.

At that invisible end, Beishan’s blood wolf tribe has roamed this land. This is the former homeland of the Great Yu Kingdom. It is precisely because of the loss of the horse breeding grounds of the 16th State of Yanyun, that the Great Yu Kingdom is more and more unable to Contend with the barbarian cavalry, can only passively defend.

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: "His Royal Highness, now that the city wall is being built, I am afraid that the barbarians will continue to harass. Now the barbarians seem to be clever, and their cavalry no longer gathers together. , But spread out so that even artillery can hardly hit them."

"The two thousand cavalry arrived in Cangzhou this time in order to solve this problem. We can no longer passively defend. We must take the initiative and use the telescope to detect the enemy's advantage in advance and in turn attack the blood wolf tribe." Xiao Ming said.

This was a decision he had hesitated for a long time. Qingzhou cavalry was few and precious, but if the city wall couldn't be built, it would be even worse.

Therefore, Niu Ben and Lu Fei will lead the cavalry into the grassland this time, relying on the city of Cangzhou, to start burning and looting the barbarian tribes on the grassland. This is also fighting poison with poison and tooth for tooth.

Zhan Xingchang nodded, "His Royal Highness is finally willing to make this decision. The barbarians have always regarded my people in Great Chongqing as inferior, so they never show mercy when killing the people of Great Chongqing. It is no different from killing cattle and sheep. Entering the grassland to fight back this time, you must not have any kindness to the old, young, and young women and children of the barbarians. Moreover, the blood wolf tribe has a large number of people, and the cattle governor must not be in love with war. Instead, he must retreat when strong, kill when weak, and fight. It’s not a way of running right away and hitting things."

"Exhibition of the governor's history, this is too despicable. In this way, what is the difference between us and the barbarians." Lu Fei dissatisfied, "At least I can't do the killing of old, young women and children."

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

He said to Lu Fei: "Be pedantic, when the barbarians killed my people, have you considered the old, young, women and children? Have you forgotten that the barbarians are the people when they dismount, and they are the soldiers when they mount? Forget the 80,000 soldiers who were driven to death in the Battle of Cangzhou Are the people of Yu country? If you have such an idea, Lu Fei will not go to the grassland this time and go back to Qingzhou."

Lu Fei shrank his neck when Xiao Ming cursed, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, I listen to you."

Xiao Ming snorted and said: "This time, the governor of the exhibition is right. There must be no women's benevolence for the barbarians, and this time you must enter the grassland and clear the land and combine guerrilla warfare."

"Guerilla warfare?" Niu Ben and other generals asked inexplicably.

Xiao Ming nodded, "This guerrilla warfare is a tactic adopted when the enemy is strong and we are weak. I won't say much about it. When encountering the nomadic tribe of the barbarian tribe, the cattle and sheep can be taken away, but not taken away. Kill it."

"As for this guerrilla warfare, Zhan Shishi has already understood very well, but this king will now formally include this tactic in the cavalry combat method. This method must be adopted when entering the grassland. Otherwise, if it is because guerrilla tactics have not been adopted. As a result, the king will cut off his head. There is no joking in the army, so the king's words will be here." Xiao Mingsu said.

When it comes to managing the army, Xiao Ming doesn't talk about human relations. Whether it's Niu Ben, Lu Fei or Luo Xin, he can't do anything wrong. If you order a command, all generals will follow. This is his army.

Niu Ben and Lu Fei's expressions became solemn, and it was okay for everyone to tease each other, but at this time, they were soldiers.

"Yes, Your Highness!" said the generals.

Xiao Ming went on to say: "Let me tell you what guerrilla warfare is and how it is used. The general outline of this guerrilla warfare is only one sentence. The enemy advances and retreats. Retreat and chase me. If you can stab a cold knife in the back, you will never fight head-on..."

Combining the knowledge in the science and technology library, Xiao Ming taught the essence of guerrilla warfare to Niu Ben and others, and then took out a few concrete combat examples~www.wuxiaspot.com~These examples are modern, but he brought them to you. Adapted.

In the process of guerrilla warfare, Xiao Ming also asked Niu Ben to pursue the same war terrorism as the barbarians-slaughter, because only in this way can the barbarians be deterred and exhausted to hunt down the cavalry.

Xiao Ming's speech was just an hour, and Niu Ben and others gradually realized it.

Niu Ben said: "His Royal Highness, the final general understands, this time he will live up to his expectations."

"Old General, let you go out in person this time, just because only you have the experience of fighting barbarians on the grasslands." Xiao Ming said.

Niu Ben said: "Your Highness's words are out of the question, loyal to the emperor for the country, this is the duty of a soldier, Lian and quite old, can you still have food? Besides, Niu Ben is in the prime of life, even if it is to express his gratitude. Shi Niu Ben is also irresistible."

Xiao Ming arched his hand. He looked at Lu Fei. This kid can fight and cause trouble. He warned: "Lu Fei, this time is different. Don't be willful, otherwise this king won't be polite."
