Chapter 58: What is the Army

Now that they have made the determination to fight, everyone in Yingzui Rock went down to prepare for it with high spirits. This is a big battle, and Yingzui Rock has not fought such a large-scale battle for several years. This is If they cannot win a clean victory in an all-out battle, Yingzui Rock will not be saved, and they will lose the home they rely on for survival.

Yun Zhao was about to leave when Shen Feng stopped him.

"Yun Zhao, how do you feel about participating in a battle for the first time?" Shen Fengxiao asked.

"Excited!" Yun Zhao said simply.

"Excited?" Shen Feng laughed loudly, "Really, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. It was my first time on the battlefield, but I was trembling with fear. After the battle, I was confused and didn't know anything."

Yun Zhaodao: "Uncle Shen participated in a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people. What I participated in this time was a small-scale conflict involving dozens of people. There are comparisons there."

Shen Feng smiled slightly, "Did you know that Xiao Yi was very unhappy?"

Yun Zhao lowered his head, "I know, three brothers died."

Shen Feng shook his head, "No, Xiao Yi is not angry because of the death of his three brothers. You know, although Xiao Yi is not old, he has fought many battles and has seen many brothers leave him. We are people who live on a thin line between life and death, and no one takes life or death very seriously."

Yun Zhao looked at Shen Feng with some confusion.

"Eleven people versus fifty people, annihilating all the opponents at the cost of three deaths and several injuries. No matter how you look at it, this is a perfect victory, but Xiao Yi is still unhappy. Do you think it's a bit incredible?" Shen Feng asked road.

"Yes, I am a little confused." Yun Zhao said.

"Yun Zhao, although we in Yingzuiyan are called horse bandits by the world, we never think of ourselves as horse bandits. Instead, we think that we are still a cavalry of Dai Viet. Of course, this cavalry is no longer for that Li family. The imperial court has served, but we still fight for the people of Dai Viet."

"At its peak, the number of men and horses in Yingzui Rock was only about 2,000 and close to 3,000. Up to now, we still have 2,000 people. This small number of men and horses, let alone the big tribes in the desert, is a little small. A small tribe can gather so many people and horses, and horse bandits like Dijinze are even more numerous than us. But we survived surrounded by wolves. Not only did we survive, but we also You live a good and nourishing life, do you know why?"

"Because Yingzui Rock is extremely powerful in combat."

"Yes, our combat effectiveness is extremely strong, but do you know the reason why our combat effectiveness is so strong?" Shen Feng asked.

Yun Zhao shook his head.

"Discipline!" Shen Feng said seriously.

"We are horse bandits, but we emphasize discipline more than anyone else, because with our strength, without strict battlefield discipline, we have no chance of survival in the desert surrounded by powerful enemies. Don't underestimate it. Mongolians, their individual combat effectiveness is very strong, and their individual combat capabilities are extremely strong, especially on horseback. If we fought like them, Yingzuiyan would have died countless times. Relying on the strength of the team is the We are guaranteed to continue to win." Looking at Yun Zhao, Shen Feng said: "Do you understand?"

Yun Zhao nodded as if he understood. In his mind, as long as each person is strong, then the team will be strong, but what Shen Feng said is not the case. The Meng people are extremely capable individually, but together, they can But it is not as good as their Yingzui Rock in individual combat. What is the reason?

"The history of the Central Plains has a long history. For thousands of years, the constant wars have led to the emergence of countless great military strategists on this continent. These people have constantly explored and summed up countless combat experiences. Over the thousands of years, it can be said to be all-encompassing. Everything is possible. The generals of the Central Plains have all received this kind of systematic training, but the Mongols are different. They come roaring in and roar away. They rely on their strong maneuverability and strong individual combat capabilities. They will fight if they can win, and if they cannot win, they will fight. They left and formed two different combat modes with us. Ever since the Mongols in the desert began to form a unified dynasty hundreds of years ago, the conflict with the Central Plains has never stopped. When the Mongols were the most powerful , once gathered hundreds of thousands of cavalry and marched south to the Central Plains."

Yun Zhao took a breath. What kind of concept is hundreds of thousands of cavalry? He imagined the scene of hundreds of thousands of cavalry galloping in his mind, and his breathing became rapid.

"That was the most critical time in the Central Plains, but it was also an era when famous military generals appeared in great numbers!" Shen Feng closed his eyes and was immersed in the magnificent battles of those eras.

"The Central Plains were almost captured by them!" Shen Feng said: "But after experiencing the initial defeat, the generals of the Central Plains gradually figured out how to deal with the cavalry. One of them was to fortify the city and wear down the opponent. Strength, this is the most effective way. Rely on the strong cities in the Central Plains to delay the opponent's attack and kill them in large numbers under the city. The second is to use heavy infantry as the leader and soldiers in the field battle with the opponent. Forming a dense formation, with bows and crossbows in the middle, they collided hard with the opponent. Can you imagine the scene? The infantry at the front had almost no chance of survival. Under the strong impact of the cavalry, they It is a human shield, its function is to delay the impact of the opponent and create opportunities for the companions behind to kill the enemy."

"During this kind of battle, if the infantrymen become timid, scared, or shrink back, it will be a disaster for the entire army." Shen Feng said: "It is the battlefield that relies on this kind of bravery and sacrifice. With discipline, the Central Plains soldiers regained their disadvantage step by step, and drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains step by step, forming the current border between the two sides."

"On the border, successive Central Plains regimes have built walled cities to prevent the Mongols from resurrecting. After the Mongolian people experienced this great defeat, their strength was also greatly reduced. When they retreated to the desert, they immediately had big problems internally, and each other They fought fiercely for water sources and pastures, because they could not enter the Central Plains, and the resources of the desert were limited. This made them unable to gather such a powerful force in the following hundreds of years. Although there are constant frictions on the border when harassing the Central Plains, these are all harassments by a single tribe, and the purpose is just to grab something."

"Discipline is the guarantee for the soldiers of the Central Plains to defeat the Mongols! When the general gives the order to advance, even if you know that taking one step forward will lose your life, you must step forward without hesitation, and when the order to retreat is given, even if your life is The enemy who killed your father is right in front of you. You only need to take one more step to cut off his head. You must also retreat, because your actions may very well cause the collapse and failure of an army."

"I understand!" At this time, Yun Zhao finally understood what Shen Feng meant. "Today during the day, I did not obey Xiao Yi's order. If I had obeyed the order at that time, the three companions would not have died." Yun Zhao lowered his head in shame.

"The death of three people in battle is not the point!" Shen Feng looked at Yun Zhao with relief, "The point is the observance and reverence of discipline. Yun Zhao, your impulse caused the death of three people today, then your impulse may lead to the death of three people in the future. Thousands of people died, do you understand?"

"I see!"

"I know the hatred in your heart!" Shen Feng patted him on the shoulder, "But you have to understand that with your own personal strength, you can't take revenge at all. You can only stand in a team and accumulate the strength of everyone, Only then can you finally achieve your goal. Therefore, control your emotions and look at problems from a higher perspective at any time. This is what you need to learn most now."

"Thank you, Uncle Shen, for your teaching!" Yun Zhao bowed sincerely.

Shen Feng turned around with a smile and picked up a book from the big case, "This is for you. Those under me can't read it. They are more accustomed to the experience they have gained on the battlefield before, but you can try to read it. one look."
