Chapter 945 Bloody Battle
"White-ear elite soldiers, kill with me!" Chen Dao shouted.
After waiting for reinforcements to arrive for a long time, Chen Dao finally couldn't bear it anymore when he saw the army being defeated.
If this continues, the thousands of elites on our side will probably be wiped out by the other side. After receiving Liu Bei's order, Chen Dao no longer held back and led the Bai'er elite troops directly into the battlefield.
As Liu Bei's personal bodyguard, the White-Er Elite Soldiers are also the only military soul corps. In addition to extreme loyalty, they also have two qualities. One is extremely rich combat experience and cooperation, and the other is a will as hard as iron.
The combination of these two is the natural nemesis of the cavalry.
I saw three white-ear elite soldiers entering the battlefield, forming a three-talent formation and fighting individually. They took the initiative to meet the charging cavalry with the help of the cover of ordinary soldiers.
Among them, the white-eared soldier holding a giant shield stood with his tower shield sideways in front of the Northern Huns cavalry with his legs slightly bent.
When the charging Northern Huns cavalry inevitably stepped onto the tower shield, the white-eared elite soldiers on both sides stepped forward. One held a halberd, swept the horse's legs, and chopped the horse over. The other held a spear, and when the knight panicked,
At that time, he stabbed out quickly, piercing the knight's chest or lifting him off the horse.
Like emotionless killing machines, the three thousand white-eared elite soldiers mixed with ordinary soldiers were like steel thorns hidden in cotton, constantly picking and killing the Northern Huns cavalry who came up.
In just a blink of an eye, Chen Dao stabilized the situation again.
"General Yide, how are you recovering?"
Zhang Fei, whose soldiers had calmed down a little, also led his troops to kill him. Chen Dao looked slightly relaxed.
A spear knocked the Hu Qi in front away, and Zhang Fei said with a troubled look on his face: "The result of the attack just now was not small, but the damage to a certain soldier was indeed not small. I'm afraid it won't be able to recover within half an hour."
"Then how much strength can your department use now?"
"At most 70%." Zhang Fei said slightly helplessly.
The power of his move just now was indeed terrifying, allowing Liu Beijun to neutralize Xu Bu's charge with almost no injuries, and also killed thousands of barbarians at an extremely weak cost, but the side effects also made him feel deeply uncomfortable.
"So far in the war, we have lost more than 2,000 soldiers and nearly half of our casualties. Even if we have white-eared elite soldiers to join us, we can only maintain the situation temporarily, and it won't last long. We must call for reinforcements."
"Second brother still has five thousand elite soldiers. If the legion's talent breaks out, it will be enough to turn the tide of the war." Zhang Fei said.
"No. General Yun Chang is our last trump card. No one knows what other tricks the Northern Huns have. We must keep one hand in case of emergencies. Don't worry, if it doesn't work, just let the Bai'er elite soldiers face the enemy head-on, which will be enough to last for a while.
.”
"This battle is not a decisive battle. It would be better for the White-Er elite soldiers not to face the enemy head-on." Zhang Fei said.
"I know, but our infantry has suffered too many losses now. Once the number drops below ten thousand, the battle losses of the White-Er elite soldiers will definitely increase rapidly. I just hope that reinforcements can come soon." Chen Da said.
Although this battle is related to the fate of the country, in fact they all know that it is just to test the strength of the Northern Huns and to establish their power, and is not to fight them decisively. Therefore, how to stop losses and win at the minimum cost is what Chen tells them.
Things to consider.
Just as Zhang Fei's legion talent can be used in the form of a buff or released instantly, the White-Er Soldier also has two ways of fighting.
One is that under normal conditions, three thousand legions form a formation to face the enemy. This is also the strongest state of the White-Er Soldiers. Relying on near-perfect coordination and immortal will, they can defeat the enemy in any state.
Showing extremely terrifying combat power.
The other state is like this now. Chen Dao dispersed the three thousand Bai'er elite soldiers and fought in groups of three among the army, using the cover of ordinary soldiers to wait for opportunities to hunt down lone or tired enemies.
military.
Compared with normal combat, the overall combat effectiveness of the White-Er Soldiers will be reduced a lot, but the speed of killing the enemy will not be reduced. The most important thing is that because of the active cover of ordinary soldiers, the battle losses are greatly reduced, which is equivalent to
Graft the battle losses of the General Soul Legion onto ordinary soldiers.
This seemingly cost-effective but actually flashy strategy can only be figured out by someone like Liu Bei, who has a small family, a small business, and a poor background. All other princes care about is how to maximize the combat power of the army, and Liu Bei is the only one who cares about this.
Little family spirit.
…
"Xuande is really frugal!" Cao Cao, who had seen a little bit of knowledge, couldn't help but marveled. Although he didn't like this move very much, it was indeed refreshing to him.
"Bei's family is too weak. He is no better than everyone else, which makes Meng De laugh." Liu Bei said awkwardly.
Compared to Yuan Cao, he really came from a poor background. Some of you here used to lack food and weapons, but he lacked everything and was almost penniless. He has developed this habit since the Yellow Turbans. When he sees a refugee, he thinks
I went up to him and talked a little bit, and when I saw a scholar, I wanted to go up and talk about my ambitions.
Because his family's financial resources were too small, how to maximize the use of the resources in his hands has become the direction Liu Bei has been studying.
The current tactic is not yet the ultimate form. According to Liu Bei's original idea, this tactic of transferring losses is the most cost-effective if it is used on civilians.
If we are really forced into a desperate situation and send 10,000 weak brigades with more than 100,000 ordinary people to break up the rear, with the cover of these people, the annihilation of the 10,000-strong army can cause two or three times more casualties, and it can also be delayed.
More time. In this way, there is no need to lose any troops, and all that needs to be paid is some ants who are as useless as grass.
This idea came from his experience during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although Liu Bei did not have the terrifying methods of Zhang Jiao, he could still use his talent of delaying and defending by relying on his talent as a monarch to win over people's hearts.
Of course, now that his horizons have broadened, Liu Bei has completely given up on this ultimate form. The population is so precious that it is simply not worth the loss. However, some of the little tricks he studied before are still retained.
Cao Cao and others did not think of this level, but the judges, Pang Tong and others who were proficient in the art of war saw through what was hidden behind this move at a glance, and they all looked at Liu Bei solemnly. This is indeed a ruthless man, who can compete with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao
Those who are juxtaposed are not kind people, they are just pretending too deeply.
Since the fighting, the battlefield has become a mess, and both sides have suffered heavy losses.
The center of Liu Bei's army led by Chen arrived was already a sea of corpses and blood, with countless arrows flying. The Northern Huns cavalry and the heavy infantry of Liu Bei's army were entangled with each other. The former kept advancing, while the latter
It is to resist and defend and counterattack.
From time to time on the battlefield, I saw a Northern Huns cavalryman taking advantage of the momentum of his horse and the speed of charge to stab the infantry in front of him with his spear through the gap in the shield. Then the elite white-eared soldiers who had been hiding behind took advantage of the trend and moved forward.
, carrying a shield on his side, he rammed into the Northern Huns, and before he could gain a firm footing, the two soldiers behind him killed him with spears and halberds. Afterwards, the three soldiers did not hesitate to fight, and withdrew towards the rear, preparing to wait for another opportunity.
However, even though the White-Er elite soldiers are elites who have experienced hundreds of battles, they cannot completely ensure their own safety on the ever-changing battlefield. Soldiers continue to fall under countless iron cavalry.
