Chapter 311: Insight

Tian Xin returned to his main position, sat on the chariot and returned to the camp.

Xiahou Shang promised not to attack today and tomorrow, and also revealed that the military power of the department was going to be handed over to Cao Xiu.

If Xiahou Shang abides by the agreement and does not attack within two days, he may be able to ride westward and defeat Cao Zhang's partial army attacking Kunyang first.

After defeating Cao Zhang, the morale of the Wei army dropped by another three percent, and Cao Zhen, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Sima Yi alone could not break through the outer defense line of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Then the initiative of the counteroffensive is in the hands of one's own side, and the 400,000 troops of both sides are entangled in Wanyu...... There was a war that drowned and annexed half of its warplanes. To achieve this result, it is much higher than the wasteland of Yanyu, Qingxu and Sizhou.

People are the foundation, and the young and strong population that makes up the army is the foundation, and if you control the young and strong population, you will be in control of everything.

The reason why the newly restored Liu Xie's court in Yanzhou is empty is because it does not have a decent army in its hands.

With the size of Yanyu Qingxu and the geography of the place of the four wars, Yang Jun and Cao Zhi had at least 150,000 troops in their hands to maintain the defense line and not be divided by all sides.

Classified into the camp, Pang Lin and Yang Yi greeted and asked about the content of the discussion, and Yang Yi regretted slightly: "How foolish and loyal is Xiahou Boren? ”

Xiahou has not reacted for two days, and if he makes any big moves, Xiahou Shang will kill himself.

If Xiahou Shang rebelled in front of the battle now, and drove away the defeated soldiers, it would be enough to sweep away Cao Xiu's army, which was unable to react.

Cao Xiu's main army was defeated, and the news spread, so that Cao Zhen and Cao Zhang in the west would also collapse, and the entire Wei army's fighting spirit would collapse.

It is very likely that the officials from Guanzhong, Yanyu, Qingxu, and the four prefectures will compete to join each other and take the initiative to surrender.

It's a pity that Xiahou didn't choose to do this and blocked the road.

Pang Lin also had an idea, and when he saw Tian Xin's thoughtful appearance, he said, "I'm afraid it's Xiahou Boren's bitter plan." ”

Tian Xin bowed slightly, without saying anything.

On the other side, Xiahou Shang and his son drove back to the battle, Xiahou Xuan was still ignorant, his fate had changed so much, it was a little difficult to adapt, did he want to meet Sima Shi and others in the future?

In this formation, Jia Kui, Man Chong, and Xiahou Ba came together to greet and inquire about the progress.

There were no emotional fluctuations on Xiahou Shang's face: "According to Tian Xiao's preface, he only came to protect the wings Jing Yu Chidao. If our army does not offend each other, the Beifu soldiers do not want to cause more trouble. ”

Xiahou Ba's eyes rolled: "But the Beifu soldiers are dissatisfied and intend to slack off?" ”

"Perhaps...... It's unspeakable. ”

Xiahou Shang took off his helmet and handed it over to Xiahou Xuan, and turned sideways to look at the last Beifu army phalanx that was gradually disappearing in the distance: "When the battle in Wankou is anxious, the Han lord will transfer Tian Xiao's reinforcements to guard the root. ”

It is very important to protect the migration of the people, and it is even more important to protect the passage of the people into Jingzhou.

When the two clashed, with Liu Bei's decisiveness, he would definitely transfer Tian Xin to help Wankou.

Jia Kui also said: "Ma Chao's department will stay in Chen County, and there will be three more days to arrive here to rotate with the Beifu soldiers." At this time, the Beifu soldiers had the intention of recuperation, and since they sent their troops to the east to return to the journey, the journey was no less than 2,000 miles, and the march was more than 2,000 miles in 18 days. Although there is sharpness, it needs to recuperate. ”

Man Zhong bowed slightly, this is very likely to be a last resort adjustment of the Han army, and Tian Xin cannot be allowed to participate in the decisive battle of Wankou with the tired Beifu soldiers.

Let the Beifu soldiers defend the gallop nearby, cover the offensive route of the Wei army, and protect the migration channel of the people.

It seems to be overkill, deliberately suppressed...... In fact, it was to give the Beifu soldiers time to recuperate, to recuperate their spirits, and to participate in the decisive battle of Wankou in a full and high-spirited state.

So......

Xiahou Shang glanced at Jia Kui: "Jia Jun wants to attack his camp?" ”

looked at Manpet again, and before he asked, Manpet turned his head to look at the scenery on one side.

If it weren't for the suppressive effect of the sudden cart soldiers today, I'm afraid that the Beifu soldiers would have tried to come forward to fight.

Zhang Liao re-excavated the tactics of the chariot soldiers buried in the soil, and in the process of organizing the chariot troops of the Wei army, they re-understood this ancient ordnance and tactics, and also had many new insights, views, and application methods.

The cavalry has great requirements for the battlefield environment, and this kind of warfare that relies on the road network and is the frozen ground of the winter wilderness is very suitable for the cavalry.

The chariot soldiers are regular soldiers, specializing in frontal battlefields; As long as the chariots and soldiers can arrive on the battlefield in formation, they can run, and they will have a strong deterrent power.

If you let the only two chariot soldiers go to attack the camp created by the Beifu soldiers, of course, you can break through the barracks, but then what?

It doesn't matter if you can win the Beifu soldiers, if you lose these two rook soldiers, then the Wankou battlefield will lose the only unconventional card.

The Wei army needs to vigorously develop the chariot army, which is the only means that can suppress the Han army, especially the vast Central Plains battlefield, all future wars will rely on the road network, the terrain and the situation are conducive to the chariot and soldier drive.

The chariot soldiers won with shock power, and they were the most restrained by the Han hoplites.

It is necessary to develop not only chariot and cavalry troops, but also infantry soldiers, if the chariot and infantry are regarded as the outermost armor of the infantry, then the dependence of the chariot on the armor on the body will be greatly reduced.

For example, the infantry soldiers, hiding in the side van and pushing the cart forward, they do not need bloated, cumbersome armor.

When defending, rely on the chariot, and the chariot is the armor; When pursuing, abandon the chariot, they are the light soldiers who plunder.

The vehicle is the embodiment of the improvement of infantry armor, and it is also an extension of the degradation of infantry's white-knuckle fighting ability.

The development of the military system of the Wei army has advanced invisibly for 1,500 years.

The current Han army is still the hoplite as the absolute main force, and also relies on various equipment to fight positional warfare, except for the encounter is a pure heavy infantry phalanx, other conditions to prepare, will be mixed in the phalanx of various offensive and defensive equipment, in order to increase the defensive ability of the phalanx.

The Beifu soldiers also popular strong bows and crossbows to shoot at close range...... The heavily armed crossbowmen are brave enough to approach and shoot at the face.

At this time, Cao Xiu led the main army to the south, thinking about the tactics of cracking the Beifu soldiers.

Zhao Yan accompanied him, and Yin Bureau, who was instantly captured by the Beifu soldiers eighteen days ago, was standing in front of Cao Xiu, telling in detail about the battle of that day.

The defeat of the Yin Department is not unjust, and whoever guards it will be defeated by the new offensive tactics of the Beifu soldiers.

The Beifu soldiers are difficult to deal with, there are probably four difficulties, the first is Tian Xin's courage and breakthrough ability; The second is the general hoplite infantry of the Han army, coupled with the high morale brought by the Han army's successive victories, which is even more hard and unshakable; The third was the close-fire tactics of the Beifu soldiers, which was the decisive tactic for capturing the three barracks of the Yin Department in one fell swoop that day.

The fourth is the appeal of Tian Xin himself, Tian Xin, like Guan Yu, is the secondary command core of the Han army, where the Han army around the battlefield, if Tian Xin wants to mobilize, the Han army will generally obey and form a whole.

Therefore, the Beifu soldiers are never a lone army, and when the Beifu soldiers are attacked, the surrounding Han troops will respond.

The Beifu soldiers are not a lone army, and if they want to defeat the Beifu soldiers, they can only first cut off and peripheral Han troops, or eliminate them, or isolate them, or involve them, and they cannot be allowed to get close to the Beifu soldiers.

The decisive battle of Wankou has broken out, and only the 26th battalion of Beifu and the 32nd battalion of the new army have to deal with in front of their own side, and it is almost difficult for Ma Chao's left army to protect the displaced people.

Fifty-eight battalions, 40,000 men, but 110,000 of his own.

What's more, there are still 32 battalions of new troops in the Beifu army, with less than 10% armor and insufficient ordnance reserves...... This is the weakness of the Beifu soldiers.

Cao Xiu already had an insight into the weaknesses of the Beifu soldiers, as long as he was ready, the Chinese army stepped forward to involve the Beifu soldiers, and the two wings were interspersed to fight the 32nd battalion of the new army in the rear, and he was at least fifty percent sure of making meritorious contributions.

Tian Xin can rely on the strong combat power of the armed march to stick to the Xiahou Shang camp interspersed with the march, his own troops are strong, and he can also intersperse the march, and he can also avoid the real and the virtual!
