Pig Killer

Chapter 219

"Many people always think that the vanguard is going to die." Shen Hui'e shook her head slightly and looked at Huang Zhongchang and others and said, "In fact, there are no good tactics at all in siege warfare and hand-to-hand combat." Only in the era of hot weapons, when airplanes and artillery bombarded the city, did the city lose its defensive function.

Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and continued, "It is normal to have casualties in a charge. There is no war without deaths. Those are just sending heads to die. They risk their lives. But this is already the best strategy, otherwise more people will die. If you want zero casualties, you have to lie back and not fight. But the opponent won't let you lie back comfortably. Everyone will die if the opponent attacks." After a pause, she looked at the two of them and said, "What will be the fate of you, including the three thousand brothers outside the city? I don't need to explain it in detail!"

"Uh...death penalty!" Zhang Jixian clenched his fists and looked at her.

"In other words, if we die now, we will die, and if we fail to carry out our plan, we will die anyway!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with cold eyes and said, "People don't fear death, so why should they be frightened by it!" She looked at them firmly and said, "Fight your way out, maybe we can carve out a bloody path. Otherwise, if the imperial court comes to kill us, we will just sit there and wait to be killed."

Zhang Jixian shook his head and laughed when he heard that. He clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I don't plan to give up. I am more confident after listening to your analysis."

"Yes! Yes! We're all going to die anyway, so just go for it. Even if I die, I'll take someone with me." Huang Zhongchang rolled up his sleeves and said as if he was ready to fight.

"Only taking the initiative and taking the initiative can minimize casualties. And it is also the best strategy to charge with elite troops. A single charge can minimize casualties. If you charge with a weak team, you will fail and eventually have to use elite troops. This is a waste of soldiers' lives." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep eyes and raised her index finger, saying, "Of course, it's not about charging blindly, but doing a good job of reconnaissance, knowing yourself and the enemy, and winning every battle."

"The enemy's troop deployment involves military secrets that are not so easy to find out," Zhang Jixian reminded her.

"This requires a lot of work to be done before the war." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark pupils and said, "War is not just about charging into battle."

"We haven't experienced this, so we really don't know." Huang Zhongchang pursed his lips and looked at her and said, "How do you know?"

"I read it from the bamboo slips." Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "I also learned from what Da Chong's uncle learned after dealing with the bandits."

"You really like looking at those bamboo slips." Huang Zhongchang looked at her meaningfully and said.

"Mother will teach us after she finishes reading it." The big tiger looked at them with round eyes and said, "Mother likes to read history."

No wonder she has such great ambitions. He just heard that the rebels were all wiped out, and he was so scared that his legs went limp. Huang Zhongchang complained in his heart, she is very calm!

It turns out there is a reason for my confidence!

"It's a common practice to use elite troops as the vanguard, but it must be used at critical moments to attack the place where victory or defeat is decided the fastest. This will quickly determine the outcome and reduce the loss of elite troops." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes, her eyes moving as she said, "What I fear most is that the elite troops will fight a war of attrition with the opponent and wear you down to death."

"A war of attrition can even drag the country to death!" Zhang Jixian said with sympathy.

"I can tell from what you said." Huang Zhongchang looked at Zhang Jixian in surprise.

"I've experienced it personally." Zhang Jixian looked at them with dark eyes and said, it was a past that he really didn't want to mention.

An entire generation was wiped out, leaving only the elderly, the weak, women and children. They had no ability to resist at all and could only be slaughtered.

"We are neither stupid nor foolish. We just started later than those nobles, so we should try our best to catch up!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "Fighting relies on brains and experience. A veteran who has fought in the battlefield is really important."

"An old person in the family is like a treasure." The big tiger looked at her with a smile in his black eyes.

"Yes! Some of the new recruits have never even killed a chicken. How can they fight on the battlefield?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her shiny black eyes and said, "The experience of the veterans is too important. They need to lead us to adapt to the battlefield quickly."

"Hey, hey! We don't have any veterans!" Huang Zhongchang kindly reminded her, "They can't wait for us to train well. They can come whenever they want."

"I know! So study hard! Learn war in war." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "What else?"

"You are just talking about it on paper." Zhang Jixian looked at her with clear eyes and said.

"For those of us who know nothing, military books and battle manuals are treasures, okay?" Shen Hui'e looked at him unhappily and said, "War ultimately depends on actual combat. Water has no fixed shape, and soldiers have no fixed situation." She looked at him with eyes like black jade and said, "At least you have to know common sense! The rest depends on your personal understanding in war!"

"You just leave everything to fate!" Zhang Jixian looked at her in astonishment.

"With the right time, right place and right people, why not just leave it to fate?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "70% depends on hard work, and 30% depends on fate." She pursed her lips and looked at them and said, "It's not like we don't have a chance of winning."

"You really dare to think so! With our level, what can you use to fight against the government troops?" Huang Zhongchang said to her with dim eyes.

"A proud army will surely be defeated." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and said.

"That's true. We are insignificant in the eyes of others. It's as easy to kill us as it is to kill an ant." Zhang Jixian nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Even if it's true, you don't have to belittle us like this!" Huang Zhongchang said to him with a wry smile.

"Only when you clearly know your own shortcomings can you catch up." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and clear eyes and said, "Many wars are lost not because the opponent is strong, but because the opponent is careless and underestimates the enemy." She continued, "The government troops are now on the verge of a great victory and will not take us seriously." She added with a serious face, "And among these rising forces, are we the largest?" Her eyes fell on Zhang Jixian.

"No, no." Zhang Jixian immediately shook his head upon hearing this, "We are insignificant." He thought seriously and said, "No one knows where we fled to, and the news that you attacked the county government office has not spread."

"This gives us time to prepare." Shen Hui'e said to them with sparkling eyes.

"That's true!" Zhang Jixian looked at her with a gentle expression.

"Then study hard, how to deploy troops, set up camp, study the terrain, and know how to fight." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, "There are also simple principles in tactics."

"Is there still a principle here?" Zhang Jixian clasped his hands together and bowed as he looked at her and said, "I'd like to hear the details."

"Do you know about Tian Ji's horse racing?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her eyebrows slightly raised and her bright black pupils.

"I know! Top-quality horses versus middle-quality horses, middle-quality horses versus lower-quality horses, and lower-quality horses versus top-quality horses! Best of three." Zhang Jixian looked at her honestly with his pure eyes.

"Avoid the enemy's sharp edge! This is actually the principle of war. Who would be so stupid as to fight head-on?" Shen Hui'e chuckled and said, "On the battlefield, the vanguard attacks one point, and the flanks attack from both sides." She looked at the big insect and said, "Go get some water."

"Hey!" The big tiger ran into the house quickly and poured some clean water.

"When you fight, are you attacking their leader?" Shen Hui'e said to Huang Zhongchang with her bright eyes.

"Yes! Catch their leader and beat him to death. Catch the leader first! I know this principle." Huang Zhongchang blinked his black eyes and looked at her, saying embarrassedly, "But I was beaten badly by them too."

"What do you mean?" Li Nu looked at his father in confusion and asked.

"Because the rear defense is empty! Their accomplices will naturally..." Shen Hui'e said roughly. She didn't make it very clear, but you would know it if you thought about it for a while.

"To use numbers to bully the few is not a fair victory." The raccoon said angrily, puffing up his cheeks.

"Actually, what I like most is to use the majority to bully the minority! To crush the opponent with strength." Shen Hui'e looked at them sadly and said, "I don't want to win with the minority. It sounds powerful, but there are so many frustrations behind it!" She looked at them with clear eyes and said, "Training hard and learning skills and tactics are all for the purpose of staying alive and reducing casualties." Her tone was full of compassion.

"My sister-in-law doesn't like fighting." Zhang Jixian looked at her with his dark eyes and said.

"Of course, people will die in war." Shen Hui'e closed her eyes and looked at them and said, "Live people like us."

"If you don't like me, you still..." Huang Zhongchang looked at her in surprise and said.

"End the war with war!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and bottomless eyes.

Zhang Jixian's words rolled on the tip of his tongue, then he swallowed them back.

"No matter how many people are on the enemy's front line, as long as they don't form a square formation and gather together, their defense will not be solid. The elite will penetrate like a sharp knife. The head and tail cannot be connected, and the left and right cannot be taken care of at the same time. At this time, the troops on both sides will rush forward and scare them to death. Divide them and defeat them one by one." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, her fingers dipped in water, drawing simply on the wooden table.

Zhang Jixian shook his head and laughed, "It's all talk, but we'll have to see the truth on the battlefield!"

"Then we have to train them well, teach them to read and write, and let them give full play to their strengths." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with bright eyes.

"I'll teach you!" Zhang Jixian nodded with a smile.

Finally convinced him, Shen Hui'e breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can teach yourself!" Zhang Jixian raised his eyebrows and looked at her and said, "I think my sister-in-law can also learn literature!"

"There is strength in numbers. I can't do everything." Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "Everyone should work together as one."

"Mr. Zhang, how did you know about the failure of the rebellion against the court?" Shen Hui'e asked, looking at him with her ink-black eyes.
