"Call me to deploy the defense at night. Take your people to rest. Don't worry, there will be no problems with me!" Zhao Junsheng said.

Hua Mulan is at ease with Zhao Junsheng. She learned many methods and ideas of managing the army from Zhao Junsheng.

"That's good! Huahai, order the soldiers to return to the camp to rest, and the city defense will be handed over to the brothers in the supply camp!" Hua Mulan shouted.

Huahai clasped her fists and agreed: "Obey"

After the announcement of the troops, the remaining soldiers under Hua Mulan walked down the city wall exhaustedly with their weapons.

Zhao Junsheng waved to Gao Xu, Gao Xu came over and clasped his fists and said, "Dutong?"

Zhao Junsheng: "Order: First, divide your third battalion into five echelons with equal numbers. Each echelon takes turns going up the city wall to guard for two hours. If there is no enemy attack, they will all lie down and sleep; A sentry is arranged every three feet on the city wall and the top of the fort, and the rotation takes half an hour. During the sentry, the sentry is not allowed to nap or blink. Those who violate the order will follow the military law. If there is an enemy sneak attack, they will immediately warn Thirdly, prepare some firewood and send people to go down the city wall to pile up the firewood on the hillside every two feet, remember the position, and pour kerosene on it! Fourthly, divide the newly added [-] soldiers into five echelons , Let them go to the city wall to participate in the defense, in the way that veterans lead recruits, one leads two!"

"Obey!" Gao Xu agreed, turned around and left to arrange deployment immediately.

After listening to Zhao Junsheng's order, Hua Mulan couldn't help asking, "Brother Junsheng, the Rouran people have already carried out two night raids in a row. Will they carry out a third night attack?"

Chapter 313 Expecting the enemy to take the lead

Zhao Junsheng smiled and explained: "Many times when the two armies are fighting, it is not a direct confrontation, but a calculation between the leading generals. As a chief general, you must be able to get used to thinking from the other side's perspective. If you are General Rouran, When two consecutive night raids were almost successful, would you think: 'I have failed to launch two night raids in a row, does General Wei think I will launch a night raid again? I'm afraid they won't do it again Be prepared, I will launch another sneak attack'! And you just thought that they have already sneaked twice, and they shouldn't sneak attack a third time. ∫ If we don't prepare, we will definitely suffer! Even Rouran No more surprise attacks, we have no loss in these preparations, the brothers sleep as usual, as long as there is an enemy attack, they can fight immediately!"

Hua Mulan learned a lot from Zhao Junsheng's words. She thought for a while and asked, "Brother Junsheng, I understand what you mean. As a leader of the army, you must learn to understand the thoughts of the enemy general?"

"It can be said, but it is not so simple to lead troops to fight. You must be good at analyzing the enemy's military situation you have collected, which ones are true news and which ones are false news, and some news is precisely what the enemy army deliberately let you know. It may be the fake news they released to confuse you! If you are only a brave general who charges into the battle, you don’t need to think about these things, but if you want to be on your own, you must learn to analyze the military situation and distinguish the true from the false. From the collected military situation Analyzing and inferring the plans and thoughts of the enemy generals, and making corresponding countermeasures and deployments, this is what is said in the art of war, knowing yourself, knowing your enemy, and winning every battle!"

Hua Mulan frowned and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't the victory and defeat depend solely on the chief general's planning, and the army's combat power won't play a big role?"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hands and said, "I can't say that. The combat power of the army is the key to supporting the general's plan. If the army's combat power is weak, no matter how brilliant the general's plan is, it will be useless if the army does not have enough combat power to execute it! Let me give you the simplest example, An ambush could have been fought very well and wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop, but before the enemy had completely entered the ambush circle, one of the soldiers in the ambush suddenly sneezed, which alarmed the enemy, and the ambush was over. It turned into a strong attack. A small sneeze seems to be unintentional, but if it is a well-trained and disciplined army, and the generals at all levels act meticulously, such a thing will never happen. This is military The embodiment of quality!"

Zhao Junsheng paused at this point, and continued: "Besides, as long as the army is strong enough, you can ignore any of the opponent's tricks! When marching, send out guard posts around the army, and send out scouts in front of the army to search carefully. , Even if there is an ambush, you can’t hide; camp at night, and send out warning posts and dark posts outside the camp. As long as there is an enemy approaching, you can immediately detect it and make corresponding deployments; Sufficient reserves can calmly deal with any situation! But we all know that the number of troops that can be commanded is often limited, and the quality of the army is often uneven, and there is no absolute strength. Therefore, when marching and fighting, the commander There are a lot of issues to consider, and we must strive to make every detail possible, and think of everything that can be thought of, and there is nothing to do if we don’t think thoroughly, and this is the time to test the commander’s ability to make decisions in front of the battle!”

Hua Mulan listened to Zhao Junsheng's words, as if she saw a whole new world like a frog jumping from the bottom of a well to the mouth of the well. It turns out that there are so many ways to lead soldiers to fight, and these are absolutely impossible to find in soldiers.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand in front of Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan came back to her senses, and quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, brother Junsheng, you said it very well, the soldiers didn't write this, if you didn't say it, I don't know that there are so many things to pay attention to when commanding troops to fight!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said, "Okay, you've been tired all day, go and rest, as long as I'm on the wall!"

Hua Mulan looked very excited and in good spirits, "I'm not tired, why don't you go to bed, brother Junsheng!"

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to say: "Then... let's sit down and talk!"

"Row!"

The two found a clean place and sat down against the female wall. Hua Mulan asked some military questions again, and Zhao Junsheng answered her one by one what he knew.

Zhao Junsheng discovered while talking

Hua Mulan actually fell asleep. It seemed that she was too tired. He took off the cloak and gently covered her body, then sat down cross-legged against the wall, and seized the time to cultivate internal strength, shock blood, and strengthen himself.

After an unknown amount of time, Gao Xu came to Zhao Junsheng, and said softly, "Everyone wake up, Rouran has touched him!"

Zhao Junsheng opened his eyes, and at this moment Hua Mulan also jumped up: "Where is it?"

Zhao Junsheng raised his index finger to his mouth, and the two stood up lightly. Zhao Junsheng whispered to Gao Xu: "Wake up the brothers, prepare the rockets, bows and arrows, and the sword and shield soldiers and the spearmen are in their respective divisions. Its job!"

"Go back to the capital, everything is ready, you can start fighting anytime!"

Zhao Junsheng was very satisfied with Gao Xu's arrangements. With such subordinates, it would be much easier for him to be a superior.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan supported the female wall and stretched out their heads to look under the city wall and on the city wall. The light was weak, and Hua Mulan couldn't see clearly, but Zhao Junsheng's eyesight was very good. He checked it and told Gao Xu: " Find a person with accurate archery skills and light a pile of firewood with a rocket, once the firewood is lit to illuminate the surroundings, everyone will shoot arrows at the enemy below, aim for me before shooting!"

"As ordered!"

Soon, there was a slight "chi" sound from behind the wall stack, and a piece of flint ignited the grease cloth tied to the arrow shaft. The sharpshooter quickly raised his bow and shot out of the city.

With a "swish", the rocket drew a ray of light in the night sky and hit a pile of firewood drenched in kerosene.

With a "boom", the pile of firewood was instantly ignited, and after a burst of fire, it burst into flames.

Under the city wall and on the hillside, there were dense figures of Rouran soldiers. While these Rouran soldiers were still stunned, Gao Xu suddenly shouted on the city wall: "Shoot the arrow!"

The soldiers hiding under the female wall quickly stood up and drew the bowstring to shoot at the Rouran soldiers below.

"Swish, swish..." The arrows shot towards the densely packed Rouran soldiers under the city wall one after another.

"what--"

"what--"

"my eyes--"

Countless screams sounded one after another, and some Rouran soldiers fell down with arrows.

After the heavy casualties, the Rouran soldiers finally came back to their senses, and under the order of the ten commander and the commander-in-chief, they raised the siege ladder and set it on the city wall to start climbing.

"Likeman step forward!" Gao Xu shouted loudly.

The spearman who was originally standing behind the archers squeezed into the archers and used his spear to push down the wooden ladders on the wall of the city wall. Many people were injured, but the arrows on the city wall did not stop, and the casualties of Rouran continued to increase.

At the foot of the hillside, Rouran's army rode on horseback and saw this scene. They whipped the whip in their palms and were extremely annoyed: "Hey, it failed again. The Wei army was already prepared! Forget it, it looks like it won't happen tonight! Come on, order them to withdraw!"

"Yes, handsome!"

After a horn sounded, the Rouran soldiers receded like a tide.

The defenders on the city wall stopped shooting arrows, and Zhao Junsheng told Gao Xu: "Xue An should have arrived with follow-up troops, you send someone to bring some blankets to the brothers, so that everyone can rest assured to sleep, Rouran people tonight No more attacks!"

"As ordered!"

There is a small room on the top of the tower, which is the resting place for the guards at night. Hua Mulan brought Zhao Junsheng here. There is only a single camp bed in the room. Zhao Junsheng let Hua Mulan sleep on the bed, and he sat on the same bed. fell asleep on a chair.

At some point, Hua Mulan sat on his lap and squeezed into his arms, so he had no choice but to hug her, put the cloak on her, and they fell asleep hugging each other.

The two woke up before dawn. Hua Mulan went to the camp behind the mountain to arrange a kitchen for the soldiers to prepare meals. Zhao Junsheng patrolled the city wall with a knife in his hand.

The sky was just bright, and many soldiers woke up one after another.

Zhao Junsheng went around and called Gao Xu to order: "Before the sky is completely bright, you send someone to the city.

Clean up the dead bodies under the wall.There are more and more corpses, and sooner or later they will be piled up as high as the city wall. At that time, Rouran people will be able to climb the city wall by stepping on the corpses, and then it will be troublesome!Also, recover all the arrows that can be used. I don't know how long this battle will last, so I can save a little bit! "

"As ordered!"

At this time, Huahai was commanding some soldiers to carry away the corpses of his comrades who died on the city wall to the bottom of the city. Zhao Junsheng called him: "Huahai, come here!"

Hua Hai walked over quickly, cupped his fists and asked, "What's the order from the governor?"
