Chapter 708: The aftermath of the war
Although Wang Yu was a little emotional, he didn't mean to be entangled, in fact, he didn't have time to entangle. After Lu Qiling woke up from the shock, she kept thinking in his ear, and she couldn't get annoyed.
"What kind of array is the Star Scattering Array? Is it really more powerful than a car suspension array? Obviously you haven't tried it, how do you know which one is great? Otherwise, when will you train a soldier to come out, and take a look, I always feel that you are bragging, how can you be more powerful than my iron horse? It's unreasonable......"
"Ahem, I said Qiling, you are also the chief general of the First Army, you have to pay attention to these things after the war, right? What do you do with a formation name? I didn't say that the Star Scattering Array is definitely stronger than the Che Suspension Array, but I just think that these two odd formations can compete head-to-head, and if they really fight, it has to be seen which side has a higher strategy, and which side will win......"
Wang Yu tried to distract Lu Qiling.
He found that there are not many female factors in girls, and they seem to be concentrated in the aspect of being spoiled. Don't look at her usually not gentle, but when she pesters people, she is more powerful than the middle school girls who pestered her parents and boyfriends to buy iPhones in later generations, and she is full of resilience, and she will not give up if she does not get a satisfactory result.
"That's what I said......" Wang Yu's method has received some results, Lu Qiling is still very precious to her iron horse, she looked around nervously, then breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head, and said easily: "It doesn't matter, with Uncle Zhang and Kong Ming here, I don't need to worry about these things......"
As she spoke, she grabbed Wang Yu's arm and said in a greasy voice: "General Wang, Brother Pengju, you are a good man, you can do well." Don't sell it, just tell me about it, just tell me how the Star Array works......"
"Hey, hey, don't drag it around, I'll just say, know everything, it's okay, right?" Rao is Wang Yu has been in the flowers all the year round and has been trained for a long time. I didn't have much resistance to the situation of my savage girlfriend, and I was pestered by Lu Qiling and quickly surrendered.
"That's my good husband!" Lu Qiling was overjoyed, stretched out her hand and patted Wang Yu on the shoulder, although she was addressed as Xianggong, but the posture looked like she was saying, 'Good brother.' Lecture on righteousness' the same.
"Actually......"
"Well, be quiet, don't let anyone else hear it!" As soon as Wang Yu spoke, Lu Qiling looked left and right nervously, and then approached and hugged Wang Yu's shoulders with a big grin, and her pretty face almost touched Wang Yu's lips. Only then did he tighten his arms and whispered, "Well, now you can start." ”
Wang Yu couldn't cry or laugh, no wonder Lu Bu heard that someone was going to marry his daughter. The shelf was put down at once, even if this eldest lady is placed in the next generation, it can be regarded as a very individual, put it now. That's a wonderful flower.
This posture is not ordinary ambiguity. Didn't you look at the red rabbit and the black horse? White air was sprayed in his nostrils, his eyes were wide open, and he glared at each other, as if he was going to fight at any time.
However, he also knew that the only way to make the eldest lady stop as soon as possible was to meet her request as soon as possible. It's just that I also have limited knowledge about the Star Scattering Array, and it's really not easy to explain it clearly.
"The name of the formation is scattering stars, as the name suggests, that is, the formation is like a star, when the enemy cavalry rushes, the soldiers scatter but do not gather, so that the enemy pounces into the air. When the enemy retreats, or when the momentum is exhausted, the scattered soldiers gather again and counterattack the enemy cavalry...... This formation is designed to restrain cavalry, and the most suitable type of troops is also Changge soldiers......"
"Liar, huh?" Lu Qiling tilted her head to look at Wang Yu, and told Wang Yu with a clear expression on her face that she didn't believe it.
It's not that the girl is suspicious and sick, this formation makes sense, but it obviously violates the common sense of using troops.
The scattering of the soldiers can certainly reduce the power of the cavalry charging to the extreme, but in that case, won't the queue collapse? The cavalry can be gathered and dispersed as usual, because the cavalry is not very particular about the formation, but the infantry is the heaviest queue and coordination, and the formation is scattered, so how easy is it to gather again? Even if it could be done, it would not have been possible to complete it in such a short time as a cavalry charge.
The principle of operation of this Star Scattering Array brought her a very familiar feeling, just like when she first arrived in Gaotang and started training, Wang Yu proposed the concept of the car suspension array.
"There is no doubt that this formation must exist, but all I know is the name of the formation, the principle of operation of the formation, the formation diagram and the specific training method, I don't know." Wang Yu spread his hands and said with regret: "Koji Yi is the person who is most likely to make this array reappear, if he doesn't die, maybe we will have a chance to see it, now, we can only remember it......"
Of course, the formation is true, the Star Scattering Array is a formation that Yue Wumu painstakingly researched, specifically restraining the heavy cavalry. Although it sounds incredible, it is with this formation that Yue Fei insisted on using the newly recruited recruits, and in the case of insufficient armor, he fought several battles successively, and completely buried the Iron Floating Massacre carefully built by the Jurchens.
Like Huo Quai's car suspension array, Yue Fei's star array was also short-lived, with the unjust death of Yue Fei's father and son, only legends were left, but this formation must exist.
The cavalry can be defeated with pikemen and phalanxes, and it only exists in novels, and it is difficult for those who have not witnessed the iron cavalry charge to imagine what it was like. If you can fight against it with such simple means and overcome it, where are there still big heroes like Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang?
Although this era is star-studded, except for Koji Yi, there are really no people who specialize in the tactics of infantry to restrain cavalry, and if you have that spare time, it is better to train more cavalry.
With the death of Ko Yi, I am afraid that the Star Scattering Array will become a desperate sound.
Although it was a little regrettable that he couldn't see the true face of the strange array, Wang Yu felt that it didn't matter. In the future, it will be the era of the Han Iron Cavalry dominating the world, and studying how to restrain the cavalry is something that the enemies of the Han Dynasty need to consider.
Except for Huaxia, it is impossible for other races to have such a profound study. If the strange array of the Bu Ke Cavalry does not reappear, it means that the Han Iron Cavalry is invincible, and compared to the meaning of this layer, the value of the Qi Array will naturally become lower.
Wang Yu avoided the important and took it lightly, and brought the content of the Star Scattering Array in one sentence, explaining this meaning in detail, and Lu Qiling nodded frequently and admired endlessly.
"Actually, Koji Yi is only one step away from the Star Array, if you can't take him today, wait for the next time to fight again, even if you don't have my prompt, I'm afraid it will be ...... In that case, even if you win, you will have to pay a greater price. It's really remarkable to be the first to go to the dead. ”
The most important thing is not formation, but courage. There are no soldiers who dare to fight, whether it is Koji Yi or Yue Fei, it is impossible to defeat a strong enemy. When it comes to the courage to see death as home, the first to die is well deserved, although there are many strong soldiers in the world, but none of them can stand out.
Lu Qiling didn't have so much nostalgia for Wang Yu, but she was worried, and she began to look forward to the future: "Okay, okay, don't think so much, anyway, he is dead, and it is impossible for the Star Scattering Array or anything to appear again, our iron cavalry is still invincible, and when it is packed, we will go on the road as soon as possible, there are still many enemies on Juyong's side waiting for us to destroy." ”
Wang Yu didn't answer, and the battlefield was almost cleaned up before he could speak.
The soldiers who went to chase the enemy army rushed back one after another, and the soldiers who were responsible for containing the prisoners and collecting the spoils of war had almost completed their tasks, and under the leadership of Zhang Liao, they handed over orders to the main generals in turn, and asked Wang Yu how to deal with the aftermath.
Qi Zhou's Bingji ran away, and Zhang Liao didn't chase it, and he couldn't catch up anyway. Those miscellaneous beards were frightened, and threw away all burdens, lighter than normal light cavalry, and the speed soared, and the heavy cavalry could only reach the dust.
However, after such a rout, Qi Zhou and these people will not only not become a threat again, but will become the help of the Qingzhou Army for a long time. Because they will spread panic throughout the Hulu camp, so that the enemy will be afraid before fighting.
More than half of Koyi's 3,000 troops were killed or wounded, and only a few of the remaining people managed to escape, and the others were taken prisoner.
In this battle, all the strength of the iron cavalry was used in the charge, and there was no intention of encircling and annihilating, and in the end the result of total annihilation was formed, which can only be attributed to the fact that Koji Yi's command ability was too strong. If it weren't for the fact that the whole army was at a disadvantage and still fought to the death, the casualties would not have been so great, and more people would have fled.
Most of these captives are Liu Yu's diehards, and they can't be used, at least not in Youzhou, but in addition to foreign races, Wang Yu has no habit of killing prisoners, so he can only watch them first and dispose of them later.
Zhuge Liang, who was responsible for collecting the wounded and counting the number of casualties, also completed the task, holding a stack of lists, waiting for Wang Yu and the main general Lu Qiling to check it.
The cost of winning this battle was not small, and the number of casualties exceeded 30%.
However, the equipment that has been smashed out of the heavy money is not an ornament, and the benefits of high defense are not only reflected on the battlefield, but also shine after the war. Of the 500 or so fallen horses, only 20 percent were killed in battle, and the rest were wounded but not killed.
Wang Yu was not too worried about these wounded, he was extremely well prepared to send troops this time, and he went to Zhongshan with Tian Feng, as well as Hua Tuo, who he abducted from Jiangdong. Of course, the excuse used was the war in Zhongshan, and the people were living in dire straits, so as to awaken the other party's benevolence and medical ethics, and go to save the dead and help the injured with Zhang Ning's medical team.
With this first surgical saint in Huaxia here, the problem of treating wounded soldiers that caused headaches for other princes was not a problem for Wang Yu at all.
Of course, this time it will definitely not be able to fight continuously, and if you want to put the Iron Cavalry into the battlefield again, you will have to rest for at least a few days.
Fortunately, Lu Yi and Qi Yi went, and there were no enemy troops in Fanyang, and after getting in touch with Wei Yan and Li Le, it was enough to clear the remnants of the enemy and hand it over to them.
"The army entered the county first, leaving some of the wounded and auxiliaries, and after a day's rest, the main force continued to march and sent the troops to Jixian!"
