Chapter 212 Dark Guard
Each military general has different abilities, and has different styles. Some value courage, some value strategy, some can only lead ten thousand troops to fight one place and one city, some can lead ten thousand troops to fight a territory or even a country, some are good at defending, some are good at attacking, some are good at placing troops, and some are good at coordinating.
Single hatred is a kind of offense and defense, and is quite strategic, but the overall view is not strong and there is no far-reaching situation. In small and medium-sized local wars, his abilities are definitely one of the best.
There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, the comparison of troops and the level of morale...
Shan Qiu is good at using scouts. Before the war, he will definitely send scouts to clarify the front-line war situation. The style of a general will greatly affect his soldiers.
For example, although the scale of this war tonight was not large, it was not simple to go through. Shan Qiu knew Zhao Wei's ability, so he did not look down on him as a surrender. Tonight he handed over part of the command of the army to him. Zhao Wei sent thirty scouts outside to guard him. Then, two of them found the enemy's traces. One immediately returned to the barracks to inform the enemy of the upcoming attack, and the other person informed the rest of the scouts hiding everywhere. After getting the news, these scouts did not return to the barracks, but followed the enemy's route of advancing, hiding and exploring one by one. Finally, the news that the enemy's division of troops was transmitted to Li Xun, allowing Li Xun, Shan Qiu and others to accurately grasp the opponent's military pulse, and use this to make the most advantageous decision and give the opponent a fatal blow.
An army will definitely have a number of horse-scouting scouts. It is actually not difficult to become a scout. As long as you can ride a horse and have a strong figure, it is very difficult to become an excellent elite scout.
An excellent elite scout must meet many conditions. First, you need to know literacy, and this is just the most basic. Strictly speaking, it is necessary to understand a lot of mixed knowledge, such as going out to find out information near the battlefield, searching for information about the terrain and geographical environment, drinking water sources, where feasible roads are available to draw military maps to find favorable terrain. With these accurate information, the pioneer army can have a mountain to open a road and meet a water to build a bridge.
Moreover, an excellent scout is better at mastering fighting and weapons than others, and is very good at hiding.
There are more than 50 such soldiers in Dan Qiu's hands, and the proportion is already very high. The reason is actually very simple, because Dan Qiu is the origin of a scout, and he naturally attaches great importance to the display and utilization of scouts after his personal experience.
Through the two wars, Li Xun also had a clear understanding of some things. For example, in the Battle of Jiangnan, Huang Yong was brave and quite strategic, but he was too righteous and not good at using scouts. The coordination ability of the entire army was also not strong, and even internal instability and blocked news gave Zheng Ze and others the opportunity to take advantage of it. They cut off their backs and almost caused a disaster.
The Battle of Longyou gave Li Xun a completely different understanding. In some aspects, Li Zhong was far inferior to Huang, whether it was personal martial arts or local combat capabilities, but his overall vision was far higher than the former, especially in the use of information, and it reached the pinnacle. Many years ago, he had sent many scouts and spies to invade Tubo. Some people had held important positions after years of exhibitions. Before the Battle of Longyou started, all the military operations in Tubo were known clearly by Li Zhong. With these top-secret information, Li Zhong was able to take the lead, arrange military operations calmly, and control the direction of the entire battle situation.
It was through the Battle of Jiangnan and the Battle of Longyou, and the war that just ended tonight that Li Xun's eyes became very broad, which made him understand a truth: how important it is to obtain the enemy's military plans and military deployment one step ahead of time in this world where news is slow and closed. It is often the decisive factor in the outcome of a war.
"Brother Shan, is it easy to train an excellent scout?"
"It's very difficult. I'm a scout, so I attach great importance to scout training and exhibitions. At that time, I led 5,000 people, and there were many ordinary scouts, but there were less than one hundred elite scouts. Among the average of sixty or seventy, only one person could go to the end, complete all the difficult training, and grow into an excellent elite scout."
Shan Qiu shook his head and said, "Scouts are the same as the army, which values quality rather than weight. It is very difficult to show a large-scale elite scout unit. There is only one person who can really do this in the entire Jin Dynasty, that is, Li Zhong, Li Dashui. He has shown an elite scout unit with a number of over 10,000 people for ten years, and has also established a new department, Secret Guard, this mysterious unit, with personnel spread throughout Anbei, Longyou, Tubo and Momeng grasslands. Before the enemy took any action, Li Dashui had already known their intentions and plans in advance, and then made targeted deployments. After so many years, Li Dashui was able to be undefeated in a hundred battles, and Secret Guards made an indelible contribution."
Li Xun was moved and said loudly: "One day, I will build such an elite force. If anything is done like that, I will achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Shan Qiu smiled and said nothing. It was difficult, but it was up to man-made, it depends on whether you can spend a lot of effort and persevere.
While the two of them were talking, they arrived three miles away from the camp and could faintly hear the sound of shouting and roaring.
"You are really a group of wastes. You have fought with each other several times the strength of the troops for half an hour, but they are unable to move forward at all, but they have lost dozens of people."
The tattooed man gritted his teeth and said angrily.
Wang Qun's face turned pale and said coldly: "There are more than 500 people in the other party who have given us, but there are only a hundred people here. Others may be hidden in the dark. How dare I attack with all my strength?"
The tattooed man said, "What are you afraid of? There are thousands of people behind us, and they will arrive soon. They are only about 500 people. How could they be our opponent?"
Wang Qun had a cold face and did not respond. What he just said was actually excuses. At the beginning, the attack was very smooth, and the number of opponents was far less than that of him. The two sides were only stalemate for less than a quarter of an hour, and their defense was already in danger. But at this moment, dozens of cavalrymen came out from behind, and a burst of impact made his formation chaotic. These people were not in love with fighting, but rushed for a while, and even withdrew, Wang Qun was not chasing, nor did he chase, and the other party took advantage of this opportunity to block the gap again and stabilize the defense line.
More than 300 cavalrymen were Wang Qun's most elite. They had accumulated it for several years. They usually seemed like treasures, but now nearly a hundred people died. His heart was so painful that he dripped blood. Wang Qun now had one idea to block the other party here. When the large troops behind arrived, all problems would naturally be solved immediately.
