Chapter 539: Teaching You to Fight (I)

It's the Spring Festival, everyone must be happy and happy!!

……………………

He shook his dizzy head, and when he settled down, he saw a completely shattered chariot, and of course, there were smashed stumps and flesh that no longer recognized human appearance.

It's horrible......

It's not that the enemy is terrible to die, but it's terrible to stop the shield array and let the chariot crash! You must know that at least thirty strong soldiers worked together to support the shield array, and as a result, six of them either broke or dislocated their arms after just one heavy pressure, and one of the more unlucky ones broke their spines.

If you're already well prepared, what if you're not prepared to let the chariot crash into the crowd? Wouldn't it be to run over people's bodies all the way, crush stumps and cut off arms, and go in with murder!

What kind of posture can increase self-protection when subjected, what kind of posture will be injured, these related knowledge even in modern times are not understood by everyone, although these heavy infantry of Lu Zhejun have been trained in advance, but training is one thing, and when it comes to actual combat, there will always be nervous guys who forget what is correct.

Yongya's tun is not the worst, they are just seven people lightly and seriously injured, some of the team that organized the shield array did not know what the situation was, when adjusting the shield array, they did not align the direction, the result was to let the horses and the chariot "ride" up, the result was naturally the collapse of the shield array, the worst thing was that most of the soldiers who organized the shield array were crushed into meat cakes, and the slightly better ones were that after the collapse of the shield array, the chariot overturned on the spot and crushed a group of people.

Xiang Liang, who was attentive on the Huimeng platform, had an incomparably stern expression on his face, and he was also saying: "There is no doubt that the chariot is not foolproof by relying on ballistas, horses, antlers, and shield formations. However, the way of warfare is always changing, and if there is a ballista or other equipment with sufficient accuracy, a vehicle that cannot be turned around will only be a live target. The cost of going from launching a charge to forming a breakthrough can also be extremely high! ”

Chu also has chariot soldiers, in fact, what Xiang Liang said in his mouth is not the same as what he thinks in his heart, he has eyes to see the fate of the Qi Yan coalition army, with enough long-range attack equipment and the double guarantee of bow and crossbow troops, the chariot can break through if it suffers losses, but what about the infantry army that follows behind? What's the use of just the chariot being able to kill, but also the infantry army can be killed together, otherwise even if the chariot can tear open the gap, it will eventually be forced to stop by the crowded formation, and the loss of the cooperation of the infantry will not only fail to open the situation, but the chariot itself will lose its ability to move and be slaughtered.

Building a vehicle is expensive. The amount of copper and leather used was not a small amount, not to mention the horses that pulled the chariots, as well as the training cost and the heavy armor value of those noble soldiers. In contrast, what does it take for a soldier to be forcibly recruited or recruited in the form of a state? The almost thing is to deal with the food to eat, and the better thing is to give the food and equip it with weapons. In general, many times human life is not much more expensive than a chariot, and more often than not, it is difficult to build a chariot that is good for strong men!

"Either find ways to improve the vehicle so that it can turn flexibly; Either reduce the development of combat vehicles. Xiang Liang's heart was full of bad feelings, he already had an intuition that the chariot would be eliminated in the near future. I just don't know what will replace it? He looked at the left and right flanks of Lu Zhejun, and thought to himself: "Lu Zhe has been spending a lot of money to buy horses, and he is still forming a single horse (cavalry), could it be that it will be the cavalry that replaces the chariot as the main force of the charge?" ”

Cavalry? In fact, in these years, whether it is the grassland or China, the cavalry in the real sense only accounts for a very small minority.

Now most of the time. Whether it is the grassland Hu people or the Huaxia side, the cavalry is a kind of cavalry infantry to put it bluntly, they use the speed of the war horse to move quickly, and after arriving at the battlefield, they will still dismount and fight on foot. Don't think that the so-called cavalry is now a class of troops that fight on horseback.

Want to fight on horseback without stirrups? In this era when there is no stirrup to borrow. Even if you have enough balance, wouldn't there be any hindrance to swing your weapon on horseback? Obstruction and force means that you will not be able to sit steadily, and if you are pulled slightly, you will be pulled off the horse. So that it is really not an easy thing to fight on horseback, the most you can do is to rely on strong balance and long-term cultivation of Su zhì to do a thing of riding on horseback and archery, this kind of cavalry is a harassing class of troops who whistling and shooting arrows and then patting their butts and leaving. (The Mongol mangu tactics have not yet been invented)

There is no doubt that when the last chariot was finished, the attack launched by the Qiyan coalition army ended in failure.

The result of the attack of the Qi-Yan coalition army was to cause more than 300 casualties on the side of Lu Zhe's army, and at the cost of the Qi-Yan coalition army losing all 250 chariots and more than 3,000 infantry troops participating in the battle.

Of course, the war is not over yet, and both sides have no spare time to calculate the number of casualties for the time being, but there will be a vague idea of the casualties on both sides.

Lu Zhe saw it from the beginning to the end, and he could clearly see that his own shield array was only partially collapsed, but the Qiyan coalition army was a corpse on the way to rest: "Let the first batch of troops participating in the battle withdraw from both sides to the rear to rest." In addition, let Li Liang go to the Qiyan coalition army again. ”

Lu Zhe sent Li Liang to the Qiyan coalition army, in addition to asking whether to admit defeat or not, that is, to agree on how long to suspend and fight again. And this is not a pause after a setback, it is a routine in classical warfare, that is, the war will stop according to the established rules after a period of war, use this short gap to clean up the battlefield, clean up the open space and then fight, and there is no need for any army to withdraw from the meeting.

Of course, cleaning up the battlefield is the right to obtain the superior side, that is to say, whether the soldiers who are dead or not dead in the field that have been fought for a while belong to the side with the advantage, and the side with the advantage has the right to temporarily keep the spoils, and the bodies of the dead will also be temporarily placed on the side with the advantage, and then the winner will be hunted to finally decide what price the losing side should pay to redeem the captured or the corpses of the war dead. Inevitably, the losing side also has the right not to redeem the remains of the captured and the war dead, but in history, unless it is to cause the morale of the army to be discouraged, no one really does anything that is not redeemed.

Li Liang drove the chariot borrowed from Wei Bao to the Qiyan coalition army, and he did not talk about what kind of treatment he suffered in the Qiyan coalition army, except for the established cleaning up of the battlefield, the main and deputy commanders of the Qiyan coalition army on the battlefield looked forward to the next "second and third sons" on behalf of the two kings.

It's hard to explain what "two or three sons" means, it's probably a colloquial or slang term, and it's hard to find out where it comes from. "Drama" is an expression of a high-ranking nobleman watching a play, that is, a soldier who can hunt hands, they are not in any danger, except for commanding the troops to fight, they can't go up to fight in person to watch a bloody performance.

"It seems that Qi Yan is quite unconvinced?" Kuaitong became more and more drunkard, and he took out the gourd and took a few sips at every turn: "They are inviting us to attack, and they also want us to hit our heads and break the bloodstream." ”

Lu Zhe didn't know that the tone of "two and three sons playing" was an extremely unhappy or contemptuous invitation to fight, in modern terms, it was almost the meaning of "Lao Tzu is not convinced, let's continue to do it". He didn't think that a defense would be able to subdue Qi Yan, so he nodded indifferently: "Then continue to fight." ”

Cleaning up the battlefield will take a long time in many cases, but who will clean up the battlefield in detail during the hunt? Most of them just moved away the equipment and corpses left on the battlefield, and the enemy soldiers who were wounded but not dead were also rudely dragged away, and they would be more careful when they saw their own wounded robes. However, Lu Zhejun did not engage with the Qiyan coalition army except for blocking the chariots, so of course, it took about two quarters of an hour to clean up the battlefield.

"Lord, is it pressed according to the established plan?" Kuaitong's face was flushed, but it wasn't excitement or anything, it was purely the effect of alcohol.

Battles need to be planned, and can a war without a plan still be expected to be won? Although Lu Zhe, who has traveled from modern times, knows that having a plan cannot ensure victory, but not having a plan is a luxury that can only be achieved in the future.

So far, the situation of the war is still going on according to the advance plan of Lu Zhe's side, and there is no unexpected situation, so there is no need to change the established plan, so after a desolate trumpet, one after another rhythmic war drums were beaten again, and the infantry in the middle once again followed the rhythm of the war drums to raise their feet, step on the ground, lift their feet, and step on the ground...... Again marched forward with the sound of rumbling footsteps.

To tell the truth, even if one or two hundred thousand people had seen the unison of one or two thousand people walking in unison, everyone who saw such a scene again was still shocked, and they could clearly feel that the frequency of their breathing and heart beating seemed to be unconsciously synchronized with the rumbling sound of stepping on the ground.

It was not clear what Xiang Liang was thinking about by the Qi Yan coalition army, but because of the relationship between height and angle, he could see the formation in front of the Qi Yan coalition army surging a little, like countless maggots flipping, so he said: "After losing for a while, and seeing Lu Hou's army approaching so mightily, the morale of Qi Yan's side was shaken, and the soldiers in front actually retreated from their positions on their own." ”

Xiang Liang could see the picture, Tian Rong and Zang Di in the military formation couldn't see it at all because of the height and angle, but they were the main and deputy commanders of the coalition army, and no matter how dull they were, they could feel that their morale was becoming low.

"Damn, isn't it just pushing, and everyone needs to lift their feet and land the same frequency? What is their pursuit of uniformity...... the word pervert has not yet appeared, Tian Rong used "persistence", and after he finished speaking, he said to Zang Di with an ugly face: "The enemy army has moved, is it to let the chariot charge?" (To be continued......)
