Three kingdoms of speech Chapter 2822: The soldiers are divided into three levels: upper and lower, and the mountain roads in other places are divided into front and back
Chapter 2822: The soldiers are divided into three levels: upper and lower, and the mountain roads in other places are divided into front and back
The generals in the Western Regions each have their own characteristics.
Lu Bu always likes to rush into battle, but as a result, his troops are like wolves and dogs. If Lu Bu, the wolf king, charges fiercely, then Lu Bu's troops will also fight frantically. If Lu Bu turns his horse around and leaves, so will his troops.
Tighten the tail.
Wei Xu has been a support player from the beginning to the end. He is an expert at hiding in the distance and firing arrows, and he has done a good job. However, it is basically impossible for him to charge into the formation.
As for Gao Shun, although his ability to rush into battle is not weak and he can also train soldiers, he has the most awe of war among the military academies in the Western Regions.
Just like the law enforcement officers of later feudal dynasties, those who have no reverence for the law will most likely break the law. In battle, those who have no reverence for war will most likely die under the sword. Even for a moment.
No matter how tyrannical he is, he will inevitably end up with a tragic end in the end.
The moonlight is like water.
His tunnel is very long, like a winding strip of cloth, and the pass of his tunnel is a knot on this strip of cloth.
A node that was destroyed twice and burned twice.
The first time was done by Gao Shun and others, and the second time was done by the current car masters themselves.
Gao Shun and his people arranged them in a row of twenty people in his tunnel.
The shield is like a wall, and the spear is like a forest.
Like the mainstay in the turbulent waves, those Han soldiers who retreated in panic saw Gao Shun's flag and the neat queue, or they felt relieved, or felt ashamed, or rolled up and down.
, they all regrouped behind Gao Shun's array.
In the dark night, thieves suddenly attacked. What they feared most was that the battle formation was always scattered and unable to assemble.
However, at the pass, the area is small, the terrain is unfamiliar, the heights vary, and there are broken eaves and broken walls. Orders cannot be reached, and the ears and eyes cannot be smart, so it is difficult to form an array.
The area outside the pass is the "old place" where Gao Shun gathered his troops to attack the pass. He has some impressions of their respective positions, even the temporary assignment of command flags is omitted. Many
After the soldiers saw Gao Shunzhong's military order flag, they turned gray and returned to their positions.
It's really gray.
No one expected that the Cheshi people would dare to attack at night. Of course, this also means that these soldiers and military schools have lost their awe for war.
The night wind whistled in the valley, and it seemed that even the heaven and earth felt the chilling atmosphere. Even the insects in the cracks in the rocks closed their throats and remained silent, daring not to make a sound.
Gradually, two worlds separated before and after the Gao Shun array.
The chaos in the pass ahead, the silence in the array behind.
Fortunately, most of the war horses were in the rear. Due to the terrain of the pass itself, there were not many stables and could not store many horses. However, it was inevitable that the war horses left in the city would be somewhat damaged.
Gao Shun stared closely at the blazing figure at the pass.
Since he can launch a night attack, he must be the elite of the country behind the chariot division!
pity……
Gao Shun's mouth showed a little smile.
Even the most elite troops are nothing more than birds struggling in vain once they are caught in a trap.
Amid the noisy waves, suddenly, there was only a loud bang, and the fire suddenly became brighter. The brilliance that shone out was like half of the sun falling on the ground. Even the moonlight retreated, and soon the fire burst out.
The sky rises, and thick smoke billows!
Gao Shun looked at the fire and raised the sword in his hand: "Raise the flag! Attack!"
The arrogance of the Cheshi people who were originally extremely arrogant in the pass was overshadowed by the sudden explosion of gunpowder. The heavy smell of gunpowder and sulfur was like a hole in hell opening up, and a terrifying breath spewed out from it.
.
Some of the Che Division soldiers near the pass, especially around the explosion point, were shocked and injured their internal organs or both ears, were dizzy and lost their minds, while others subconsciously fled from the explosion point, feeling that the smell of sulfur was poisonous.
Yes, I choked and coughed endlessly...
In addition, some poor people who were unable to escape the flames due to crowding and slowness have become sacrifices to the devil. They turned into balls of fire, making piercing wails and dancing crazily in the hot and bright red light.
, until the last moment of his life.
The elite mountain soldiers of the chariot division wearing black clothes and armor were like ants on a hot pot. They completely forgot about concealment, dodging and escaping in the firelight, completely losing their previous arrogance.
Seeing such a situation, the Han army soldiers and generals who had been in turmoil after being attacked gradually calmed down. Some people even felt a sense of shame and anger because of their previous weak performance, and they wished they could put these things in front of them.
Only by killing all the enemies can you make up for it, or prove that your previous self was just a temporary fad, and that the bloody bravery in your heart has not been left behind!
Gao Shun roared and immediately accelerated his forward speed.
The soldiers of the Han army held up their shields, halberds and spears, and charged forward against the oncoming heat wave and the fleeing enemies. As the Han army rushed into the pass again, the stunned enemy soldiers of the chariot division had not yet arrived.
He stopped and took a defensive posture, then fell down with blood spattered. The cries of killing, roars, exclamations and screams resounded again from the broken walls of the pass, mixed with the clear sound of the clash of weapons.
With the muffled sound of bones and flesh being torn apart, the blood dyed the previously stained ground even more vividly.
Because they need to maintain flexibility in the mountains, these elite charioteers in black clothes and armor do not wear thick armor. As a raiding force, these elite charioteers are undoubtedly sufficient, and they have indeed done a good job.
, caught Gao Shun and others off guard at the beginning, but when Gao Shun used the power of the gunpowder explosion to come back, facing the heavily armored soldiers commanded by Gao Shun, his shortcomings were exposed.
Gao Shun's expression was solemn, his eyes were calm and cold under his eyes.
Have no fear.
No fear of death.
Gao Shun devoted all his energy to the battle in front of him.
This is respect for the enemy and reverence for war.
Fighting a rabbit with a lion, don't leave anything to chance.
Gao Shun suddenly shouted loudly, kicked his feet hard, and used his waist as a pivot. Not only did he use his shield to deflect the opponent's knife, but he also pushed his opponent back, leaving the door wide open!
The cold light of the long knife flashed, and amid a long and miserable hiss, Gao Shun's opponent's side ribs that were not covered by the leather armor were cut with a huge gash. Blood spurted out, and his intestines slipped out, and immediately like
It was a deflated rubber ball that fell down softly.
After the enemy soldiers behind the chariot division panicked, they all raised their swords and roared at Gao Shun. The two armies fought, and the brave one won. If you are timid and run away, let alone whether you can really escape from the opponent's sword and gun, that is what happened before
The hard-fought gains must be surrendered.
Although the pass is dilapidated, it is located at a level in the middle of its tunnel, with both ends sloping downward. Whoever occupies the pass here will have a slight geographical advantage.
Isn't war just about having such a small advantage, and then accumulating it, and finally becoming a victor?
The two or three elite drivers from Houguo who tried to counterattack might have gained something if they had faced others, but they were facing Gao Shun.
No matter which angle the sword fell from, it seemed to be firmly blocked by a shield, while the exposed necks, wrists, legs and feet on their bodies seemed to be unable to prevent Gao Shun or stabbing them.
Or a cutting sword.
After just a few breaths, the enemy who bullied Gao Shun fell down with several wounds and blood spurting from his body.
Gao Shun took a breath.
His shield, sword, battle robe, and armor were almost all stained with blood, and there were inevitably some pieces of flesh stuck on them. Under the light of the fire, the combination of iron and blood made it look like he was crawling out of hell.
The devil comes out.
In the Western Regions, Buddhism is quite popular.
Naturally, some people in Cheshi's country have been influenced by Buddhism.
In order to promote its teachings, Buddhism will naturally preach some topics about hell. The original intention is to let people know their way back and do good deeds and accumulate virtue. But at this moment, these descriptions of hell have become what the soldiers of the Che Division are afraid of.
source.
Raging fire.
Pungent and bloody.
Broken limbs.
There is also an evil aura lingering around, and even if you take one more breath, you will feel your nose and tears flowing...
There is no way, this is the smell of inferior gunpowder.
Gao Shun and others have seen it before and are more or less accustomed to such a smell, so they don't feel nervous when they breathe such a smell, even if it is indeed a bit pungent.
These soldiers of the Chai Division are different. Most of them are exposed to such a smell for the first time. The unfamiliar smell is always scary. Especially at the moment when the gunpowder exploded, the smoke and flames engulfed the surrounding area.
Many soldiers from the country behind Che Shi also made these devout Buddhist disciples involuntarily think of some of the hell situations they talked about in their daily lives.
The elites of the Cheshi Kingdom were frightened. They looked at each other, expecting others to come forward, but their own legs and feet were moving backwards.
Cheshiguo's plan is not that complicated. A small force attacks at night and a large force follows up. If they can burn food and grass, it will be even better if they can defeat Gao Shun. If they can also cut off Gao Shun's head, that will be even better.
Okay. This kind of plan is very common and normal. Anyway, any situation may occur on the battlefield, and they don't dare to determine how far their troops can reach before the battle begins.
However, most car masters believe that even if they cannot defeat Gao Shun, they can successfully burn Gao Shun's food and grass, or at least hinder Gao Shun's progress...
But they didn't expect that Gao Shun didn't put the main food and grass in the pass from the beginning!
If the war horses' food and fodder are destroyed, even if Gao Shun and others are not in chaos, they will not be able to face the subsequent battle without the war horses. On the one hand, Gao Shun and others do not have much food and grass left, and there is no need for an additional large territory.
On the other hand, the war horses of Gao Shun and others could not be accommodated in the pass, so they simply put the war horses and food on the other side of the pass.
One wrong step, and every step is wrong.
The ordinary soldiers gathered outside his tunnel after the Che division saw the fire at the pass and rushed to catch up. There was nothing wrong with following the serious tactical arrangement. The sharp knife opened the door, and the sledgehammer followed up.
If the opponent is driven off the pass, if there is a chance, he can still chase him for thirty to fifty miles with bangs and smashes...
To say that the elites of these charioteer countries are not entirely mediocre, there are indeed some warriors.
Gao Shun watched, not far ahead, Chen Sanlang led a group of soldiers to confront an elite charioteer wearing black leather armor and a black mask with white teeth on his face.
The elite charioteer had extraordinary martial arts skills, and he used the two scimitars in his hands to prevent water from splashing into the air. Chen Sanlang, with several spears under his men, was unable to stab him. Instead, the elite charioteer stole an opening and took a step forward, using his hand.
The half-moon-like scimitar on the top struck a Han soldier on the shoulder and chest. The sharp blade directly broke open the armor and stomach, creating a horrific wound!
With the tragic sound of the sword cutting into the bones, the Han soldier screamed in heart-rending pain and fell to the ground trembling.
There was a rain of blood, and when the elite chariot driver struck the Han soldiers with his scimitar, his own empty door was already exposed, and then he heard a few loud shouts in Chinese. Although he
He couldn't understand those Chinese words, but he could guess their meaning. When he hurriedly evaded, he was already finished. Two spears, one on the left and one on the right, blocked his escape route. Even though he tried his best to dodge and avoided the one on the left, he couldn't escape.
Couldn't dodge the spear on the right.
Chen Sanlang held up his spear and stabbed it through the empty door on his right side. The sharp spear tip broke through the cowhide armor of the elite driver, penetrated deeply into his body, and pushed him backwards.
The severe pain caused the elite driver's whole body to twitch, and blood spurted out from under his mask, staining the white teeth on his mask red. He roared loudly, holding the spear tightly with one hand, and holding his hand with the other.
The scimitar was thrown towards Chen Sanlang!
Chen Sanlang was about to dodge, but found that the handle of his gun was tightly grabbed by the opponent. He was stunned for a moment. He failed to abandon the gun immediately, and saw the machete coming towards him!
Gao Shun rushed over, raised his hand and flew away the scimitar.
Although the elite driver's face was covered with a mask, there was still a look of regret in his eyes, and then he fell to the sky...
The clash of gold and iron was only a brief and cruel contact, and the elite charioteers suffered a lot of damage.
Seeing these cruel scenes, and seeing Gao Shun and his people moving forward like waves, these elite chariot divisions began to become frightened, and even the masked black-armored soldiers were afraid.
exception.
"The men with black masks lead the team!" Gao Shun discovered the characteristics of this team of black-armored soldiers and shouted, "Kill the men with black masks!"
There were originally 500 mountain soldiers in the country behind Che Division, but some of them were damaged later and could not be repaired. This time they attacked Gaoshun, but they also left behind. Once they climb up and down the road in the dark, they will naturally not be safe if they go in a hurry.
, more than a dozen people fell and died on the road, and only about three hundred people actually rushed into the pass.
As a result, there were not many casualties during the battle for the west city gate. On the contrary, when trying to chase Gao Shun and others, more than twenty people were killed by gunpowder. They were immediately beaten back by Gao Shun and his men, and soon they were killed.
Nearly a third of it was lost, and a dozen of the black-faced military academy members were killed.
Normally speaking, most of the casualties in the cold weapon era occurred in the process of pursuit. The number of casualties in real positional battles was not too many. More than 20% was considered high battle damage.
The kind of troops that have suffered high battle losses and still refuse to retreat did exist in the cold weapon era, and there were quite a few of them, but they were still a minority. Because if they can leave a number in historical records, they are basically first-class and powerful.
Just like honest officials will leave their names, most officials in feudal dynasties can only put their names at meetings.
Compared with other soldiers, these soldiers of Che Division Houguo are indeed good, but the current casualty rate is so high that they themselves are frightened. Moreover, due to the high casualties of low-level officers, they have lost their organization.
During the fight, they mostly fought independently, which further increased their casualties and made them increasingly unable to support themselves.
They were originally confident in their bravery and courage in hand-to-hand combat in night battles, but they found that they had no advantage at all in the battle with Gao Shun's men. The soldiers of the Han army had the same bravery, and they also had the same bravery and fear of death in night battles.
Courage, which caused their remaining courage to dissipate quickly.
Especially the soldiers of Gao Shun's headquarters, the tacit understanding formed by hard training has almost penetrated into the bone marrow. These soldiers of Gao Shun's headquarters never fight alone, at least they fight against the enemy in groups. Shield Defense
, assassination with spears, repairing leaks with swords, if it were not for the poor visibility in the dark night, long-range attacks with bows and crossbows would have to be added, which would make it difficult for elite charioteers to display any kind of bravery...
Unless you have the idea of exchanging lives for lives, it is possible to exchange lives for injuries when facing attacks from multiple parties. Otherwise, you can only passively resist the attacks, and then if you are a little negligent, you will be beaten to death by the group.
Under the powerful impact of Gao Shun and his men, the dozen or so elite black-armored charioteers who were still resisting were quickly killed and dispersed, revealing some ordinary charioteer soldiers who had just rushed up behind them, and some simply dressed
The charioteer's unarmored slave soldiers.
The army structure of the Che Division is actually more or less retained in the structure of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is divided into high-level soldiers, general entourage soldiers, and low-level slave soldiers. It is like a pyramid structure. Most of the high-level soldiers above are
Those inherited from the family, similar to the officials of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, or the knight class in the Middle Ages, generally had good martial arts skills. After all, only those who had no worries about food and drink would work hard every day to practice martial arts.
The entourage soldiers are generally the helpers of these ancestral warriors, similar to retainers. They eat and drink with their masters on weekdays, and work together with their lives in battles...
As for those enslaved soldiers, they basically have no fighting qualities at all and are temporarily recruited.
The elite soldiers of the chariot division in the front were defeated. The ordinary followers and a large number of slave soldiers who followed behind saw Gao Shun and others rushing out in the light of the fire. They couldn't help but show fear. They ran up from the bottom of the mountain.
At the pass, what was the promise of taking advantage of the victory and pursuing it?
Even the elite black armored men who usually stand high above the crowd can't stop the Han soldiers. How can they?
Seeing those black-armored soldiers being chased out of the pass by Gao Shun and others like rabbits, these ordinary chariot soldiers and slave soldiers who lacked even serious armor thought for a moment, and then dispersed with a bang. What a mess.
The one who climbed up was rushing down in a chaotic manner...
Gao Shun raised his head and looked at the sky, and then sent an order for the troops behind him to take up their horses, preparing to chase and kill for a while, at least to defeat the Cheshi camp at the mouth of his tunnel!
