Xiang Jing touched his head, opened his eyes wide, and asked as he ran: "Collapse and collapse? What's the difference?"
Sun Chu laughed loudly on the side and said: "Tieniu, is your brain made of wood? The collapse was because the army was defeated and withdrew from the formation, but it was still disciplined, and the collapse was just like the Qin army did
, completely unable to be restrained by military discipline and orders, everyone ran around, bumped into each other, and trampled on each other. All we had to do was chase them like ducks. In the end, they trampled more people to death than we did.
"
Xiang Jing suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it. Brother Jinu, Sandanzi (Sun Chu's nickname), are you right?"
Liu Yu smiled and patted Sun Chu on the shoulder as he ran: "Sandanzi, it's okay. I even know this. It seems that I have read the book of war a lot."
Sun Chu grinned, showing his yellow teeth: "After following Brother Jinu for a long time, I know that you need to read military books to be a good general. There is such a good opportunity in the Beifu Army. It would be a pity not to make progress."
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, that's how it is. Face-to-face fighting cannot kill too many people. Even our concentrated bursts from a distance of thirty steps did not kill a thousand enemy soldiers, but the remaining
Thousands of enemy troops fled out of fear. The rear army bumped into the front army, and the front army stepped on the rear army. This way, they trampled on each other. First, they completely lost their formation and command, and the general's orders could not be issued. Second, they killed each other and killed each other in the dark.
Trampling people will kill them much faster than if we kill them."
"These 50,000 Qin troops, even if they are 50,000 pigs, if each of our 5,000 men cuts down ten of them, it will take only three days to kill them all. But if they collapse like this, trample on themselves and kill themselves, then there is no need
In two hours, all of them will be dead, so the art of war has it that a defeat is like a mountain, and what I want is their collapse!"
Liu Yi nodded thoughtfully: "The army is defeated like a mountain?! That's good. Ji Nu, but why do you conclude that you can shoot them down with a burst of fire at a distance of thirty steps? Why is it fifty steps?
Distance is not enough?”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The difference between collapse and collapse does not depend on how many enemy troops have been killed. If it is a well-trained army with high morale, just like Liang Cheng's army just now, even if a hundred and eighty people die, it will be fine.
Through rotation, the troops in the front row who have suffered heavy losses are removed and replaced with fresh troops at the back, just like we have long thorns in the formation. After half an hour, we can kill many opponents. This is called a stalemate."
He Wuji smiled and said: "Using the right combination and winning by surprise are the essence of the art of war. Jinu, are you just going to take the enemy by surprise, approach the enemy in front of them, and then kill the enemy in large numbers and instantly to completely destroy their morale?
"
Liu Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and said: "Yes, that's it. Originally, we braved the flint to rush across the stream, and more than 200 people advanced in a tight formation. This has severely dampened their morale, and even made them
They suspected that we were not human beings, but ghosts. At a distance of a hundred to fifty steps, we were shot by them in turn, and our bodies were covered with arrows, but we remained standing. The morale of the Qin army was already on the verge of collapse.
.”
"But after all, they are well-trained, and the general personally stepped forward to suppress the formation, using the personal guards as front-line commanders and governors, so they stabilized the position. In addition, there are hundreds of large shields in front of them. If our army is in the fifth
Shooting against them at a distance of ten steps can defeat the enemy, but it will not achieve the effect of chasing and fighting. The Qin army can quickly send out new heavy-armed troops to rotate the crossbowmen in front, and fight to this point.
, we lost half of it, because this battle must be fought quickly and it will drag on for a while. As soon as the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we have no choice but to withdraw."
"Therefore, we could only continue to advance. When we were thirty steps away from the enemy, the enemy panicked and fired the last arrow. At this time, their rotation also fell into chaos. The people outside wanted to escape back into the shield wall, and the people inside wanted to come out.
, so we huddled together. At this time, we fired three arrows in a row, which could kill a thousand enemies in an instant. This kind of rapid and large number of casualties was the most destructive to morale. The crossbow arrow shooting at close range would tear the human body, and the internal organs would flow, which would be harmful to all.
Living people nearby are a huge stimulus. Even the most ferocious person will become insane if he sees his comrades being punched alive and torn apart. At this time, even if it collapses, no general can control it.
Such a demoralized army."
Everyone nodded in admiration, and Tan Pingzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "Brother Jinu, I've known you for so long, and this is the most convincing time I've ever had with you. To be able to grasp people's psychology so accurately, it's just like those who
There are roundworms in Qin’s belly.”
Liu Yu smiled slightly, but heard Meng Chang's voice ringing from the side: "Jinnu, when the general of the Qin army led a counterattack in the end, you killed that general with a crossbow. This was your early death."
Was it planned?"
Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's still Yanda (the name of Meng Chang. Among these rough men, Meng Chang, who has read poetry and books, is an outlier. It's not like Liu Muzhi who was too fat to go to the battlefield, so the others'
His nicknames are all Rabbit Master, San Danzi, Gou Sheng, etc., but for him, they are coinciding with each other.) You observed carefully. Yes, before advancing, I observed the position of the enemy general. That person
At first, he was behind the formation. Later, when our army advanced, the front army wavered, so he continued to move forward, but still at a distance of about a hundred steps. With this person's martial arts, it was difficult to kill with one shot at a distance of about a hundred steps. He needed to reach
It only takes about fifty steps."
Liu Yi smiled and said: "So, Jinu, you must advance to a distance of thirty steps from the enemy and shoot down the enemy's army in one fell swoop. Then the enemy general will inevitably be unable to hold back and must push forward in person to crush the defeated army, taking his own weapons with him."
The guards launched a counterattack. At this time, the troops are in chaos, can they kill the enemy with one arrow?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, this is the best opportunity to shoot the enemy general. Normally, the general is behind the formation and has heavy protection, so it is difficult to kill him, but this time he is alone and rushes forward. This gives
This gives us a good opportunity. This man is not a mediocre general, and he can organize a counterattack in such a difficult time. But on the other hand, as long as he is killed, the enemy's morale will never be restored, and the remaining former soldiers will
, will definitely rush in all directions and collide with the sergeants behind."
He Wuji had an idea: "Hey, slave, according to our army's formation, the front army, the middle front army, the middle army, the left army, and the right army must be separated by a certain distance, at least a hundred steps.
, just to prevent the situation where one army collapses and scatters the rear army. Is it possible that the defeat of more than a thousand Qin troops can wash away the tens of thousands of troops behind them? "
