Chapter 17 The Achilles' heel
That was more than ten years ago. At that time, Lihuaser attacked Xianglin and forced Xianglin to sign the "Xianglin Treaty", which meant that Xianglin would break away from the vassal status of the Great Qi and become Lihuaser's protector.
The Great Qi court was shocked and the battle was inconsistent. Hu Tieyan took the initiative to lead his troops to fight to the decisive battle at Zhennan Pass and the Lihuaser army, and won a great victory in one fell swoop and killed thousands of Lihuaser army.
This defeat was passed back to Lihuasel, and Lihuasel's prime minister had to step down...
And this brilliant victory also spread all over the world, shocking the world.
Therefore, even after more than ten years, military observers from the countries of Ropa were excited when they saw this southwestern army.
They wanted to see what kind of army they could defeat Lihuathel!
"It is obvious that the equipment level of this army is not as good as that of the army in Nanbei Town, but their morale is very high and they have a kind of confidence that only by strengthening the army!"
"That's of course, Riwasher is known as the world's most powerful army... although they are exposed to the glory of the Sun King.
But the Riwasher army is definitely very powerful. Naturally, I have confidence to defeat Riwasher's army!"
Military observers from several countries were talking about that even if the Southwest Army was not neat enough, the queue was definitely not as strict as the Zhongzhou Army, but no one dared to underestimate this army!
"It's a pity that under such terrain, the Southwest Army should not be able to play their advantages. It's a pity..."
"Yes, the Southwest Army is an army that is good at mountain combat. I'm afraid I can't take advantage of this plain battlefield!"
As everyone was talking, the two armies happily conducted a live-fire drill.
The armies on both sides lined up in neat square formations, and then under the rhythm of the suona and the snare drum, they approached each other step by step, raising guns to shoot each other.
This kind of war of queuing in front and shooting will put extremely tremendous pressure on soldiers. If an army that is not trained very harshly, it is easy to collapse under such mutual shooting.
Therefore, this kind of battle requires which side has a more neat formation and a more dense firepower.
Another thing is to see which side has a higher endurance and can only collapse if more people die.
In the past several wars of divine punishment, the military level of Daqi has dropped significantly since the destruction of the Central Imperial Army that year. In this kind of shooting, more than 20% of the casualties will often collapse.
And in Roba, this number is usually 40% to 50%!
During this exercise, it is worthy of being the elite selected by Daqi. Now both sides have shot at each other, and the casualties have exceeded 30%, and the troops on both sides have not collapsed yet.
In the neat rogue of guns, the soldiers fell to the ground one by one, and then the soldiers in the back row were filled in.
After a team of soldiers was injured and killed, the soldiers in the back row then faced the enemy.
In any case, even during the exercise, the performance of the elite troops in Zhongzhou and Southwest is enough to satisfy people.
"It seems that the training over the years has been very fruitful!" Chen Mingchuan sighed lightly.
In the end, when the Southwest Army exceeded 50,000 and finally retreated, the victory of the exercise was won by the Zhongzhou Army.
At this moment, the Zhongzhou Army also suffered more than 40% of the casualties. If the Southwest Army did not collapse, it would be the Zhongzhou Army's turn to collapse.
The war in line to kill is so cruel!
The commanders of all towns in Daqi were very satisfied with the exercise.
During this war, both the Zhongzhou Army and the Southwest Army showed great courage and combat effectiveness.
This is a rare situation since the destruction of the Central Imperial Army that year!
Obviously, after so many years of new army construction, the combat effectiveness of the Daqi army has made great progress.
Obviously, military observers from various countries are obviously not satisfied with this exercise.
The tactics are too monotonous, there is no artillery coordination, no airship suppression, and no mage casting spells.
Compared with the "virtual battlefield" of Daqi, the performance of the Daqi army is obviously not very much in their eyes.
"I noticed that there are very few charge troops in the various armies of Daqi. Although there is not such a special charge army in our Roba army.
But it is obvious that even in ordinary military formations, the army of Daqi lacks charge troops…”
"Yes, it's a pity. Their charges are too weak. Even the so-called new army in Nanzhen, everything is imitating the Roba army.
But the charge troops were too few and too weak, and there was no strong impact force, so the army they imitated was only in its shape…”
As Yin Shengzhi said, the Daqi's charge troops were too few and too weak.
This is the biggest flaw of the Daqi army now!
Unfortunately, Yin Shengzhi was able to borrow a lot of mages from Alliga to make up for the shortcomings of military mages.
But I can't borrow so many chargers.
There is nothing else, the number of charge troops is much larger!
It is enough for a battalion-level army to have a lower-level mage in charge!
According to the organization of Roba's troops, a battalion-level unit also needs at least one hundred chargers!
These military observers are all experts. After several military observers have gained a general understanding of the strength of the Daqi army after several days of military observation.
At this moment, the problems of the Great Qi army were almost touched on the nail on the head.
This allowed them to calmly despise the army of Daqi!
However, at this time, a voice said faintly: "Although the charger is the most important, the master of the battlefield has always been a mage."
One sentence made all the military observers feel silent. Yes, although the charge troops are important, the mages are the ones who dominate the battlefield.
Daqi now has great wizards in charge and can arrange a virtual battlefield, so no one dares to underestimate it!
Soon, the new army in Nanzhen and the elite soldiers in Beizhen began to enter the field. Whether it was the military observers of various countries or the generals and commanders of Daqi towns, the expressions of the commanders became serious!
Obviously, everyone knows that the combat exercises between the Zhongzhou Army and the Southwest Army are just appetizers.
The real highlight is the exercise between the Nanzhen army and the Beizhen army!
In Daqi, these two towns are also the most powerful. The battle between them represents the true combat level of Daqi.
When the soldiers in Beizhen came out first, they heard the roar and screams. Cavalry rushing into the battlefield with rifles, covering the sky.
But after these cavalry, they were infantry with neat movements.
Although the army's ranks are not as uniform as those specially trained by the Zhongzhou army.
But when one glances at it, one can tell that these people are veterans of all wars, with tacit cooperation and rich experience.
