Chapter 474 Meeting on a narrow road

Morale is very abstract, it is difficult to be controlled by a certain person, but it can be noticed and guided...

After leaving the Forward Barracks, Zhu Gaoxu rode a horse on the nearby hillside and ran for more than ten miles.

When he returned to the headquarters of the Central Army, it was completely dark.

All factors flashed and brewed in his mind.

Given the distance between the enemy's bold camping, Zhu Gaoxu felt that Wu Gao intended to launch a battle tomorrow.

This will be a showdown similar to an encounter.Although they both expected to meet in Pingyuefu in advance, the battle was about to break out as soon as they contacted each other!

At this moment, Miao Jin walked into the room where Zhu Gaoxu lived.She found a quilt somewhere in the village, walked in and put it on Zhu Gaoxu's shabby wooden bed.

Zhu Gaoxu looked away, and Miao Jin saw this and asked: Is the King of Han still not sleeping well recently?

There are a lot of things to think about.Zhu Gaoxu said casually.

Miao Jin made a gentle voice, which counted as a response.

Zhu Gaoxu remembered that Miaojin was writing a book, and then he felt that if he expressed his ideas, his ideas might be clearer.He said blindly: The low-level generals and soldiers in the army will not feel much about the gap in the military strength between the two sides. They will only see that there are a lot of people in both armies.

As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road; avoiding war at this time will create a sense of weakness for the soldiers.In addition, Wang Bin's vanguard army was defeated a few days ago. If I retreat tomorrow's battle, it will definitely affect my morale and encourage the courage of the enemy.

Miao Jin glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, her red lips opened slightly, but finally didn't make a sound, just nodded slowly.Perhaps she also knew that Zhu Gaoxu did not want to discuss military affairs with her.

But Zhu Gaoxu's sorrow seemed to trigger Miao Jin's sympathy; she had only put the quilt on the bed to make a fuss, but then she walked to the edge of the bed and spread the quilt, and leaned over there carefully and spread it up.

With the oil lamp in the room, Zhu Gaoxu saw her leaning over.

He believed that the priceless parts became more prominent in the posture of Miaojin laying the bed.

Zhu Gaoxu was still in a state of anxiety just now, and his attention was completely attracted.

The tension and pressure at this moment cannot affect Zhu Gaoxu's desires. On the contrary, he is even more relaxed whenever this happens!

Miao Jin had not noticed Zhu Gaoxu's abnormality yet, and she was carefully smoothing the bedding.

She couldn't reach the wall, so she climbed onto the bed again, knelt there and reached out to press the corners inside.

The wide robe on his body fell down, so the lines on his body were even more graceful.

Zhu Gaoxu finally stood up and walked to the bed silently.

As soon as he reached over, Miaojin, who was kneeling on the bedding, felt it.

She turned her head and saw that she was startled at first, her body suddenly trembled, and then her beautiful face turned red.

She immediately turned over, sat on the bed, moved her body toward the bed, and when the person moved gently, the old wooden bed creaked, as if it was about to fall apart.

Miaojin calmly took Zhu Gaoxu's hand and whispered: Isn't Gao Xu worried about military affairs?The war is imminent, and I don’t want to be a beauty.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this reason and her tone, he became even more eager. Fortunately, although Miao Jin was rejecting her, she was not very strong.

Her voice gradually changed, and her breathing was a little heavy. I knew this battle attracted much attention from all over the world.It is of great importance, so Gao Xu should put his heart into the big things first.

Don’t worry Miaojin, I will definitely beat Wu Gao!Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt very energetic and full of energy.

Miao Jin was still pushing her back. She reached out and pushed Zhu Gaoxu's chest, and dodged her head, but her strength was gradually weak and weak. There were people around her. The bed was too old and not very good...

The light in the dilapidated house under the oil lamp was dim, and everything inside was hazy and could not see clearly, and only felt a piece of brown gray.

However, Miaojin's white skin and red cheeks looked more and more beautiful.

...The next morning before dawn, Zhu Gaoxu was dressed neatly and was walking outside the bedroom door.

Miao Jin was still in a drowsy sleep, but when it was almost dawn, the drums and trumpets would definitely ring around her, and she would definitely be awakened by the noise.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down next to the table in the main hall, and waited for a while to write and draw.Generals above the commander-in-chief of the army were summoned one after another.

At this time, the days outside were still dark.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up, called on the military generals to come and help, and lifted the wooden table against the wall into the middle; then he placed a few oil lamps on the table.

Everyone sat around and finally could see the graphics on the paper with the light.

The house was very simple, but the generals were also serious and sat neatly.Zhu Gaoxu pointed to a thick line on the paper on the table and said: This line represents the mountain range stationed by the Forerunner Wang Yu's troops, which runs across the east and west.

The Marquis of Jiangyin is very likely to want to decide the winner here so that they can get rid of the pursuit later.But he will definitely not set up a formation in the south of the mountain and attack this mountain; if I was Wu Gao, I would first transfer the main force to the north of the mountain range, and then attack from west to east along the foot of the mountain... I think that retreating troops to avoid war at this time is not the best way!Therefore, I plan to face the enemy's attack in a defensive manner.

The army only arrived here to settle down yesterday evening, and everything was in a hurry; even Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand the place names of the surrounding mountains overnight.

And he had no room for negotiation in his tone now because it was too late.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: This morning, each army was dispatched to the camp, and the baggage teams of each army first moved to the east... He skillfully picked up his pen and drew three circles from top to bottom in one breath in the east of the mountain range.

After drawing the picture, he continued: Let's name these commanding heights for the time being. The ridge located on the east side of the vanguard is called the south slope, the middle slope to the north, and the north slope to the north.After the Wu Gao army crossed the mountains from the west, all units of our army retreated east first, and then deployed near these commanding heights to occupy the advantage of the land.

If Wu Gao's army wants to decide the winner as soon as possible, they have to expand the attack range and can only attack the high ground from west to east.If he attacked along the ridge, the contact surface between the two armies would be limited and progress would be too slow; we could mobilize the army on the southern slope to reinforce the vanguard camp in time along the mountains.At that time, we could also attack the enemy troops in the north of the mountain range from the middle slope, the north slope and other places!

After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he observed the generals sitting around him. Seeing that some people were still staring at the drawings and thinking about something, he repeated it tirelessly.

He described it very clearly because he ran the horse on the spot yesterday night.

Zhu Gaoxu found that he was indeed very talented in war. Just like in the past two days, he quickly recognized the mountains, rivers and terrain of a strange place and had a sense of direction. This is also a talent that helps lead the army.

The battlefield terrain is not completely equivalent to geography; the main general often does not need to see the whole picture clearly, but only needs to combine tactics with the terrain to find those useful key factors.

After a while, a shout of a report suddenly came from outside the door.

When Wang Yu's personal soldiers passed the inspection of the guards and walked into the room, the soldier knelt on one knee and said, "The commander of the King of the Avant-garde reported that the horses discovered that each battalion of Wu Gao's army was preparing for food in four o'clock!Commander Wang speculated that the enemy might be dispatched this morning.

knew.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand.

He seemed to be deaf about the report just now, and looked back and said, "Now we will divide the place."When you lead your troops to dispatch, you must first find the position and then drive to the designated place.

Finally, I will wait for orders!

After dawn, there was indeed a hustle and bustle within a few miles.

Military music, drums and trumpets were mixed up, and the world seemed to be shrouded in buzzing noises, and the sounds were loud and even more harsh.

Zhu Gaoxu rode his brown horse and guarded near the central army's flag, personally grasping the enemy situation reported from the front.

As expected, Wu Gaojun had already begun to climb over the mountains in the west, and all signs seemed to confirm Zhu Gaoxu's expectations.

Because Zhu Gaoxu's expectations were the best offensive route; if Wu Gao did not cross the long mountain range first, he had to use a large army to set up a high ridge in the south, which would not be a good thing.

The Han Wang Army's baggage team had already taken a large number of vehicles to the east and dispatched in advance; the soldiers of the army also rectified their ranks one after another, waiting for military orders.

More than a dozen generals rode their horses and surrounded Zhu Gaoxu, with various expressions on their faces, listening to the news coming from the front and back.

When the round and sunrise appeared on the top of the mountain to the east, Wang Yu's personal soldiers reported new news.Most of the Wu Gao's army had crossed the mountains, and the vanguard cavalry was approaching towards the Han Wang army!

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Gaoxu immediately issued a military order.After hearing this, the generals held tribute and left all over and returned to their respective military camps.

After a while, the loud trumpet sounded in the military camp.

On the rolling hillsides, teams of infantry can be seen moving around.

The mist and water vapor in the morning have not completely dissipated, and countless figures are hazy and unable to see the whole picture, but it seems that there are more people.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves also sounded in the distance.A large number of cavalrymen from the Han Wang Army came out of the camp, but marched in the opposite direction of the main marching.

After a stick of incense, the sound of roaring and running came from the horizon in the distance, and the vaguely heard horse neighing mixed in it.

The Han Wang's cavalry team, who went to monitor the enemy's cavalry vanguard, seemed to have had a conflict with the enemy, and horse wars broke out one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu looked into the distance, guessing the result of the horse battle.

He has martial arts, but now he has no use; now he doesn't even have a long weapon on his body, and his waist knife has hardly been pulled out for months, and its function is limited to decoration.

After a long time, a cavalry rushed over quickly. The knight shouted before he had time to get off his horse: Report to Prince, the enemy cavalry has retreated for the time being, and is detouring to the northwest!

Zhu Gaoxu responded and ignored the commander.He kicked the horse and turned around, and followed the soldiers around him in the direction of the infantry formation, and rode his horse to the east.
