Ranked tenth: White Ear Soldier - Liu Bei's last guard

Coaches: Liu Bei, Chen Dao

Transition: Evolved into the infantry of the Shu Han Forbidden Army

Historical facts: "Chen Zhi was the governor of the first emperor, the elite of the first emperor, and the superior army of Shu. ”

The white-eared soldiers are Liu Bei's pro-army guards, since Liu Bei is an old leather (the meaning of a veteran ruffian), the white-eared soldiers around him are naturally also deeply war-torn and stormy. It is worth mentioning that the commander of the Baier soldiers, Chen Zhi, the word Shuzhi, a native of Runan, followed Liu Bei through a hundred battles after the establishment of the Shu State to seal the Pavilion Marquis, the general of the expedition to the west, and assisted Li Yan to defend the White Emperor, "Three Kingdoms" said that "the expedition to the south (Zhao Yun) is heavy, the expedition to the west is Zhongke, the unification of the time of the selection of soldiers, the list of fierce generals". The Yiling Shu army was defeated, after Chen Zhi broke off with Fu Tong, Fu Tong died in battle, Chen Zhi led hundreds of Baier soldiers, and hundreds of guns blocked the wild pursuit of the Wu army, and the combat effectiveness of the Baier soldiers can be seen. This Shu fierce general doesn't even have a name in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it's really strange, because he was originally a fierce general second only to Zhao Yun under Liu Bei's account, this may be because Luo Guanzhong has written more fierce generals for Shu than the historical facts, so he had to be wronged Chen Dao, in addition, Chen Zhi is in history "The name is often and Zhao Yun, and he is known as a loyal and brave general", with a Zhao Yun is typical enough, Luo Guanzhong may have merged the two when he conceived it, so Chen Zhi's fierceness in the romance had to flash in Zhao Yun's shadow.

Ranked ninth: White Horse Yicong - Gongsun Zhan's Qiji troops

Coaches: Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun

Changes: Zhao Yun recruited white horses to follow Liu Bei, most of Changbanpo was killed in battle, and a small part evolved into the cavalry of the Shu Han Forbidden Army

Historical facts: "Every time Zhan fights with the captives, he often rides a white horse, chases without vain, and wins several victories, and the captives tell the clouds: "Avoid the white horse." Because of the jealousy, Jane has thousands of white horses, and chooses to ride and shoot, called "White Horse Righteous Servant". ”

Frustrated as the supervising army, Bai Shao: "Zhan is a good white horse, and he has been repeatedly multiplied by the captives, and the captives are called 'White Horse Generals'." Therefore, the elite 3,000 were selected, and they rode on a white horse, called 'White Horse Righteous Servant', and the actual guard was also. In the conquest of the Three Kingdoms, "White Horse Yicong" was just a meteor, it was Gongsun Zhan's elite cavalry unit, but unfortunately, after only a short period of glory, it was annihilated by Yuan Shao's general Ju Yi in the Battle of Jieqiao. Gongsun Chan is famous for his bravery and heroism in the battle with the northern ethnic minorities, he is good at using double-headed iron spears, "Hou Han Shu" said: "Zan often and dozens of people who are good at shooting, all ride white horses, think that the left and right wings, and call themselves "white horse righteous servants". Wuhuan even told each other to avoid the long history of the white horse. Bai Ma Yi expanded into a considerable scale of troops from the back, and for a time the power outside the plug, Wuhuan "is a painting in the shape of a chan, galloping horses to shoot it, and the middle one shouts long live, and since then, he has fled far away. ”。 It's a pity that in the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zhan met his lifelong nemesis Ju Yi, and Bai Ma Yi never recovered. “。 … Seeing that his soldiers were few, Zan let him ride and wanted to go to the tomb. The volunteers all did not move under the shield, not to dozens of steps, but at the same time, the dust shouted, the conflict went forward, the strong crossbow rained, the center will fall, and the first thousand levels of Jizhou Yan Gang signed by Chen Qizan. The Zan army was defeated, ran on foot, and did not return to the camp. "This is a typical example of using a bow and crossbow to break a cavalry. It is worth mentioning that there is information that Zhao Yunyuan is one of the White Horse Righteous Servants, and it can be regarded as retaining the seeds for this elite army. By the way, "The Biography of Heroes" records that Yuan Shao heard the White Horse Yicong and had such a dialogue -- Shao smiled and said: "He has a 'White Horse Yicong', and a certain 'Euphorbia', is he afraid?" Hu He: "Jun Yi, I will break it!" He looked at himself and said nothing - So, is the open-jawed halberd soldier another elite soldier in Yuan Shao's army?

Ranked eighth: Tiger and Leopard Cavalry - Cao Wei's ace mobile unit

Coaches: Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen

Change: Evolved into the middle and leading forces, that is, the elite five battalions of Cao Wei: Wuwei, Zhongbase, Zhongjian, Xiaocai, and Xiaocai Battalion in guerrillas

Historical facts: "Ren Di Chun, at the beginning of the Yilang to participate in the military of the sky, the tiger and leopard rode from the south of the skin. ”

Cao Xiu's words are ,。。。。。 Often from the conquest, so that the tiger and leopard ride the guard. ”

"Cao Zhen Zidan。。。。。 Taizu strengthened his courage and made the tiger and leopard ride. ”

There are many "tiger and leopard riders", and they can be Cao Cao's "guards", and their commanders are also outstanding figures of the Cao clan. So what kind of force is this?

"Pure supervised tigers and leopards ride, all the world is sharp, or from a hundred people will make up for it", so terrible, "hundreds of people" will be the pawn of the tiger and leopard ride, "the world is sharp" worthy of the name. Take a look at his palmares:

"Pure command, ride and behead Tan." In just one sentence, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but if you look at the context of "Three Kingdoms", you will understand how difficult it is. We can see the ability of this army to attack fortifications and fight tough battles with him (in fact, the few appearances of the tiger and leopard cavalry in the history books are almost all hard battles).

"And the three counties of the northern expedition, the pure department rode to get a single in the Dun", thousands of miles of attack, the attack can be overcome, the mobility and combat effectiveness can be seen, you must know that this Tutun is known as the "Mao Dun" reincarnation.

"From the expedition to Jingzhou, chasing Liu Bei in Changsaka, obtaining his second daughter and baggage, and collecting his scattering rate. enter and descend to Jiangling", it can be seen that the "five thousand iron horses" chasing Liu Bei in the romance are tiger and leopard horses in the official history. They traveled "three hundred miles" day and night, Zhuge Liang said that it was 'the end of the strong crossbow", and as a result, Liu Bei was killed and almost all the troops were wiped out, if Guan Yu hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid history would have been rewritten. Their innate ability to be quick was revealed, which Liu Bei did not expect, and what particularly shocked Liu Bei was that they could still have such strong combat effectiveness after such a rapid march.

Ranked seventh: Xiliang Iron Cavalry - Ma Chao's "Roman" cavalry

Coaches: Ma Chao, Ma Dai

Transition: Vanished

Historical facts: "It can be because of poverty, not better!"

Analysis: Why can Ma Chao's state fight against Cao Wei in the whole country? This is the power of the "Xiliang Iron Ride". "How many high-nosed and deep-eyed people in the super army" are said to be soldiers from the west of Rome. The difference between Ma Chao's army and Dong Zhuo's army is that Dong Zhuo's army was greatly influenced by the nomadic armies of the Xiongnu and other nomads, and paid attention to cavalry and mobility."

Javelins, the dense Greek military formations, heavy shields, and the size of the army and tactics are very close to those of ancient Rome. In the battle of Jia Meng, even the well-informed Liu Bei also appreciated this tactic very much. One of the reasons for the strong combat effectiveness of the Shu Han army in the later period was that Zhuge Liang absorbed the training and strict discipline of the "Xiliang Iron Cavalry".

Why can Ma Chao's state fight against Cao Wei in the whole country? This is the power of the "Xiliang Iron Ride". "How many high-nosed and deep-eyed people in the super army", in fact, Ma Chao's troops included soldiers from Rome to the west, and they absorbed a lot of the advantages of the Roman military formation. "The difference between Ma Chao's army and Dong Zhuo's army is that Dong Zhuo's army was greatly influenced by the Xiongnu and other nomadic armies, and paid attention to cavalry and mobility." Javelins, Greek dense formations, heavy shields, as well as army size and tactics, are very close to ancient Rome. In the battle of Jia Meng, even the well-informed Liu Bei also appreciated this tactic very much. One of the reasons for the strong combat effectiveness of the Shu Han army in the later period was that Zhuge Liang absorbed the training and strict discipline of the "Xiliang Iron Cavalry". In fact, they are not heavy cavalry in the strict sense, so it also has obvious shortcomings, that is, it can't deal with the "strong crossbow", Cao Cao's defeat of the Xiliang soldiers is mainly a strategy, but it is also related to its tactics, that is, after building the city, use a strong crossbow to shoot the Xiliang soldiers from a distance, because the "Xiliang Iron Cavalry" is only equipped with javelins, and the range is limited, so it is very passive. Another disadvantage is the lack of mobility, which is at a disadvantage in the competition with Cao Cao's elite "Tiger Rider", which is inseparable from its heavy equipment. Xiliang Iron Cavalry - an elite cavalry equipped with Western technology.

Ranked sixth: trapped camp - Gao Shun "Flying Army" in the Central Plains

Coach: Gao Shun

Change: Evolved into a tiger and leopard ride, a free and dead soldier

Historical facts: "There are more than 700 soldiers, numbered 1,000 people, the armor and fighting equipment are all refined and neat, and each attack, all of them are broken, and they are called trapped." ”; Gao Shunqi is "innocent, dignified, does not drink, and is not fed." It can be said that it is a typical uprightness. The "trapped camp" under his command is also an ace unit in Lu Bu's army. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is simple, the author cherishes ink like gold, even the generals of Shu and Han, the governors of Eastern Wu, and the Xiahou of Cao and Zhu have not been independently bigraphed. But Gao Shun, who doesn't describe much, also wrote his "trapped camp", and it is "every attack, all of them are broken" (although it is a quotation, but Chen Shou is willing to spend pen and ink to write, it seems that it is still credible), which shows his high status and strong combat effectiveness.

In the Later Han Dynasty, horse armor was not popularized, so Cao Cao said in the "Military Policy Order": "Yuan Benchu armor is ten thousand collars, and my big armor is twenty collars; There were 300 horses in the beginning, and I could not have ten. "At that time, the cavalry was mainly light cavalry." The armor and fighting gear are all refined and neat" This refers to the heavy troops.

Analysis: The "trapped camp" once defeated Liu Beijun, who had Guan Zhang, which can be seen. The only trusted general of the suspicious Lu Bu is Gao Shun, and the only unit he can trust is the "trapped camp". Gao Shun is known for his loyalty, after Lu Bu was wiped out, he was killed without saying a word, which is quite rare in the capricious Lu Bu camp, Cao Cao was the only one who could not persuade Lu Bu's subordinates to surrender and killed him alone (Chen Gong was because he knew Cao Cao's details, and he couldn't help but kill) Lu Bu did not have a handsome talent, and he couldn't use Gao Shun very well, but he knew the combat effectiveness of the trapped camp, so "Bu knew his loyalty, but he couldn't use it." After the cloth was reversed from Hao Meng, it was more sparse. Wei Xu has relatives inside and outside, and he will continue to seize the generals of Shun. and when the attack is fought, so the commander will continue to lead the troops, and Shun will not have any hatred in the end." The tragedy of Lu Bu is also the tragedy of this elite army.
