Chapter 480 Infantry

Zhong Hui can be praised by people all over the world, and of course he is not a person who lives up to his fame.

After one hundred thousand Chinese troops entered Chang'an, they immediately restored the defense line established by Chen Tai.

There is a beacon for ten miles, a camp for twenty miles, and a fortress for fifty miles. They go down the Wei River from Huaili, connecting Pingling, Xianyang, Changling, Gaoling, and Xiagui.

They also rounded up nearly 10,000 Shimin, Di, and Qiang people in the Qinling Mountains and moved them to the south of the Wei River. They also forcibly conquered more than 20,000 Hongnong, Shangluo, and other people, and made them farmers. They worked with the soldiers to cultivate fertile land, and set up military commanders.

Qu Chang, Tuen Chang, every hundred people are one Tuen, and they share the land and keep it.

The government provided seeds, cattle and farm tools. The government only collected 50% as military rations, and the remaining 50% was distributed to soldiers and farmers.

Zhong Hui ordered the officials to inspect the fields, reward those who worked hard with cloth, and those who were lazy and lazy were whipped in public.

The south of the Wei River is rapidly becoming vibrant.

The Liangzhou cavalry was blocked in the north of the Wei River. Several attacks failed, so they could only return to Guzang to give orders to Yang Zheng.

"Zhong Hui governs the army and governs the people with clear rewards and punishments. The generals and schools are not slack, and the soldiers are heavily guarded. It is difficult to attack by force. The subordinates can only lead the army back." Wen Yang cupped his hands and said.

If Zhong Hui only has 40,000 troops, 5,000 cavalry can gallop through Guanzhong.

But with an army of 140,000 and 5,000 cavalry, there is no advantage.

Xiannao Xiannao, originally wanted to try Zhonghui’s water.

It is unrealistic to expect that Wen Yang and five thousand cavalry can overwhelm Zhong Hui's 140,000 troops.

"Advance and retreat are measured, and the whole army returns, which is already a meritorious service." Yang Zheng said with a smile.

Every time Wen Yang appeared, Liu Heng, who was guarding him, had an abnormal expression on his face.

And since conquering Wenyang, this guy can no longer claim to be the best general in Liangzhou, which shows that he still has some self-awareness.

"Thank you, General!" Wen Yang looked relaxed.

"Does Ciqian think the Chinese army is worthy of the enemy?" Yang Zheng asked casually. After all, he had personally been to the front line, observed the situation on the Wei River, and experienced the Shouchun War last year, so he had a certain understanding of the weaknesses and strengths of the Chinese army.

Although Yang Zheng was from the Chinese Army, after so many years, he no longer knew Luoyang's personnel.

In order to usurp the throne, Sima Zhao continued to expand the size of the Chinese army in recent years.

Yang Zheng's third battalion of personal guards actually copied Cao Wei's central military system.

Wen Yang was stunned, probably because he didn't expect Yang Zheng to ask him for advice. After thinking for a moment, he said: "The commander of the Chinese army is in the infantry army. The soldiers are well-trained. If they are led by good generals, they can dominate the world. I forgive my subordinates for speaking frankly.

If each leads an army of 100,000 to face each other head-on, with Chen Tai, Zhong Hui, Chen Qian, Zhou Tai and others as the front generals and Sima Zhao as the rear commander, our army will be hard-pressed to match them!"

Liu Heng next to him snorted disdainfully.

Strategically, you can despise your opponents, but tactically, you must pay attention to them.

The Chinese army has survived bloody battles over the years, and its combat capabilities are certainly not bad. What it is best at is frontal combat with large formations.

The advantage of the cavalry lies in mobility, but the advantage of the Chinese army lies in the overwhelming force of Mount Tai.

If the frontal battlefield cannot be stopped, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, it will be in vain.

Facing an infantry array of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, the cavalry actually has no benefit.

The failures of Guanqiu Jian and Zhuge Dan can give us a glimpse of the truth.

The Chinese army has deep ditches and high fortifications, and defense is used to attack. There are many layers of barracks, antlers, and trenches. These are what the cavalry is most afraid of.

"Does Ciqian have any good ideas?"

"My subordinates believe that the monarch should strengthen his infantry, train his infantry formations, and use the city and passes to block the Chinese army so that the cavalry can take action."

It is true that cavalry is the king on the battlefield, but there are many types of battlefields. You have cavalry, and so do the enemies. Hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of hands can change the terrain in an instant.

Moreover, cavalry is not omnipotent and is affected by factors such as weather, terrain, logistics and supplies.

The infantry can fight in all weather and on all terrains.

In the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan's three thousand white-horse Yi Cong were defeated by Qu Yi's one thousand crossbowmen with 800 troops.

The consumption of cavalry is also much higher than that of infantry. One cavalry can support five infantry.

If three infantrymen cooperate tacitly, they can definitely take down a cavalryman.

Calculated at this rate, Liangzhou cannot afford it.

Therefore, the tactics of coordinated foot and cavalry prevailed in the Han Dynasty. There is a record in the historical records: In the spring of the fourth year of Yuan Shou, the general Wei Qing and the hussar general Huo Qubing each had 50,000 cavalry, and the infantry turned with hundreds of thousands of troops... to attack the Xiongnu Chanyu.

"Use the cavalry as spears and the infantry as shields!" Yang Zheng understood Wen Yang's meaning instantly.

"That's right." Wen Yang became more and more speculative as he spoke.

Although he was famous all over the world, he was actually very miserable. When Wen Qin raised his army, Sima Division killed the three Wen clans in Luoyang and Qiao County.

Later, Zhuge Dan killed Wen Qin, Wen Yang, and Wen Hu had no choice but to defect to Sima Zhao again. The remaining family records left in Jianye were completely killed by Sun Wei, the butcher of Soochow.

He moved to fight in the world and became famous, but he became a lonely person, with only one biological brother Wen Hu left.

Liu Heng snorted again.

Yang Zheng and Wen Yang looked at each other at the same time, Liu Heng looked at his nose and heart, as if nothing had happened, only a pair of dishonest eyes were rolling around.

"I wonder if Renwu has any good advice for me? You might as well tell me, Ciqian and I are all ears." Yang Zheng said with a straight face.

Liu Heng flattered him with a serious look on his face, "Wherever you point your finger, your mace will hit you!"

"I'm asking you for countermeasures."

"Yes, countermeasures?" Liu Heng said with a bitter look on his face, "Let's fight a war. Whatever countermeasures you want, you chop me with a knife, I chop you with a knife, it's over."

Wen Yang, who was always serious, could not hold back a smile.

"Renyou, remember fifty military sticks for this guy."

Pang Qing took out his notebook and pen, dipped his saliva in his mouth, and added another stroke for Liu Heng.

If there are too many lice, don't bite them, if there are too many debts, don't worry about them. Liu Heng looks indifferent.

The cavalry must be taken seriously, and so must the infantry.

Historically, there were Iron Kites and Bu Ba Zi in Xixia.

In sieges, mountain operations, river crossings, defenses, etc., the main force is infantry.

The local soldiers are almost all infantry. They have participated in these battles and their combat effectiveness is not bad. Therefore, we only need to strengthen the training and equipment of the soldiers.

There were originally a strength of 20,000 infantry among the 50,000 pro-army troops.

Yang Zheng suddenly remembered the spearmen who captured Chang'an that day. They killed all directions on the city wall. They were more flexible than spears and had a wider attack range than the Huanshou sword. They saved their energy and thrust forward, then retracted. In just two movements, they were very lethal.

, the armor-piercing power is also strong, it is easy to train, it can form an army quickly, and it also saves materials. It is equipped with iron armor to enhance defense. The advantage is too obvious, and it is most suitable for close combat.

An elite infantryman of the pro-army army is equipped with a set of leather armor or a set of cold-forged armor, a long spear, a short weapon, a short sword or a halberd, a crossbow machine, fifty crossbow arrows, and a total body weight of five

About ten pounds.

Government affairs were overseen by Lu Zhi, Du Yu, Suo Jing, Zhang Hui and others, and supervised by the Xuanyi Department. Yang Zheng could do it himself and train 20,000 pro-army infantry.

Zhang Te, Tian Zhang, Tian Xu, Wen Yang and others assisted Zuo.

Deng Ai's military training techniques, Zhuge Dan's, Wen Qin's military training techniques, and Wu Jun's methods are all integrated into them, and it can be regarded as drawing on the strengths of many schools of thought.
