"Don't worry." Taxa said confidently, "I have no problem with my plan."
Bu Sen glanced at Taxa, looked at Taxa's proud look, for some reason, Bu Sen suddenly felt a slap in his heart.
『What?』 Taxa seemed to know what Bu Sen was thinking, 『Master, don't believe it? I really have a plan. You know, what the Han people like most is the main formation that attacks the enemy...that's here...』
Taxa reached out to gesture to the area in front of her.
"Han people, very strong." Taxa raised her head and raised her high nose high, revealing the nose hair in her nostrils. "So they are very proud! Yes, very proud. And we can take advantage of this! I found that every time the Han people attack, they choose to attack the opponent's own array, and then use this to suppress the opponent's array to become bad, so that they can carry out continuous attacks without worrying about the opponent's counterattack..."
"Since we know what the Han people like to do now..." Taxa said proudly, "I have set up a trap here! Trap! Hahaha! Master, you can look at me later and kick these Han people in the ass!"
Bu Sen nodded, without saying a word, put his hands together, and pronounced the Buddha's name, as if praying for this guy's plan, which will work this time...
That's right, Taxa discovered the "secret" of the Han people.
The Han cavalry was very powerful, so whether it was Gao Shun he met before or Zhang Liao later, they left a deep impression on Taxa.
Because Gao Shun and Zhang Liao had not many troops, and their tactics and tactics were similar, when they found Taxa's flaw, they chose to attack the opponent's own formation at the same time. This powerful force suddenly burst out made Taxa feel the fear in his heart.
Break the opponent's main general's formation, kill the general and seize the flag, and set the victory in one fell swoop.
This kind of beheading tactic was spread in the north. Not only was it often used by Lu Bu and others, but even the three brothers of Liu Bei, as well as Yan Liang and Wen Chou and others of Yuan Shao, were very familiar with it and used it freely.
Taxa had previously ordered digging soil to put bags to attack the military camp. Although it was unsuccessful, some potholes were left behind. So Taxa simply continued to expand in these places and created some traps to prevent the Han people from raiding.
Of course, Taxas was at first guard against the Han people in the military camp, and he was afraid that the Han people in the military camp would come out to fight for their lives at night...
Unexpectedly, the Han people in the military camp did not come out, but Zhang Liao came instead.
"Very good," Taxa slapped her hands twice, encouraged herself, inhaled and exhaled a long time, and shouted in an excited and proud voice, "Come on, baby, let dad kick your ass!"
Taxa stared at the movements of Zhang Liao and others with all concentration, but did not realize that there was a problem with his own coalition, and it was still a very serious problem.
He has too many people in charge...
There are many people in the Western Regions.
The key is that these people still have their own ideas.
The coalition forces are powerful in this "union", and the weak are also weak in this "union".
This is a fatal problem. His dispatch was almost ineffective in an emergency, but he still did not notice it, or he subconsciously ignored it. This is the most important and serious issue of the Western Regions coalition, and it was also reflected at the beginning, but Taxas ignored it...
Strictly speaking, Taxa is just a thousand general. He has commanded at most three or four thousand people before, and has no experience in commanding the troops any further, so his current ability to command ten thousand people is difficult. Now he has suddenly taken on the burden of the Western Regions Alliance, and the result is like Wu Dalang is carrying a stall, only to see the stall and no one is seen.
In film and television dramas, there are often 100,000 troops at every turn, but in fact, 100,000 appearances are considered relatively rare in history, and it is extremely difficult to break through the million-level army.
He doesn't have the ability.
If you want to have such experience, you must first have so many people.
Secondly, we can say whether there are generals who can command...
Whether it is the Western Regions or the Kushan Empire, there are basically no million-level battles. After all, this requires living people, and they are not something that they can only exist if they want to.
Even if the population base can reach the millions, it still needs money and food support.
There are only about three real million-level battles in Chinese history.
The first-ranked one was naturally the Battle of Goguryeo by Emperor Yang of Sui.
Emperor Yang of Sui sent a total of twenty-four armies, with a total number of more than one million. The Goguryeo side facing each other was only 130,000. Under such a huge gap in military strength, Emperor Yang of Sui might also feel that this is stable. How can the flying dragon rider lose?
However, due to the poor weather in Liaodong and the arrogance of Emperor Yang of Sui, and the influence of many complex factors inside and outside, the millions of Sui army lost 300,000 people on the battlefield in Liaodong, and the rest returned with their arms abandoned.
The second place is the Battle of Changping.
This battle can't be considered a million-level battle, it can only be said that the two sides combined have more than one million.
This battle was the strongest cornerstone for Qin to establish the unification. Zhao's military strength was 450,000, while Qin was the attacking party, with more troops than Zhao's military strength, about 600,000, which was barely considered a war of over one million. Everyone knew that it ended with the destruction of the entire Zhao army and nearly half of the Qin casualties. It was this battle that established the name of Bai Qi, the world's number one god of war!
During the peak of Qin State, its maximum mobilization ability was about 800,000. Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 to build the Great Wall to resist the Huns, and a army of 500,000 to attack Lingnan. The rest could not be squeezed out, otherwise it would not be possible to deal with Liu Xiang and the others.
The third place was the Battle of Feishui. Fu Jian, the emperor of the Former Qin Dynasty who unified the north, recruited 870,000 troops and fought against the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south. In order to unify, the two sides launched a decisive showdown in Feishui.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The result is that in Feishui, the Former Qin army composed of multiple ethnic groups almost collapsed without fighting. Eighty thousand Jin troops took advantage of the situation to pursue and defeat the Former Qin. Fu Jian fled back to the north in a panic, and the Former Qin Empire collapsed and dispersed.
As for Lao Cao’s Battle at Red Cliff, I’m sorry, I can’t even enter the top ten…
During the Battle of Red Cliffs during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's army did not even have 300,000, about 150,000, and at most more than 200,000. In the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei led a number of soldiers of about 100,000, up to 150,000, and claimed to be 700,000. He was eventually defeated by Lu Xun's troops of about 50,000.
Now the Western Regions coalition forces have a total of 30,000 to 40,000, claiming to be 300,000.
How? Compared with the current Han people such as Zhang Liao, there are indeed more troops. Of course, the benefits of having more people. For example, it is almost nothing to die easily, and Taxas won’t even blink his eyelids.
Just like the military camp failed to attack before, Taxa didn't care how many people died, and even felt that the death could just reduce some of the burden...
Anyway, they are all old and weak, and they will die if they die.
At the same time, there are many people and they are more tolerant. For example, if you dig a hole, Taxa doesn't have to worry about wasting the precious energy of her direct troops.
If there is something, then who will do it, what else can you do? But when you come to the back, no one knows who is going there and what he has done...
Management is an exquisite art that not everyone can play with.
From the millions of battles in Chinese history, we can know that it is not that the more soldiers, the better. The reason why the Battle of Changping was won is not because there were many people on the Qin Dynasty, but because the Qin Dynasty had formed an effective command system for soldiers. The command structure of the pyramid is very stable and convenient. As a commander, you can be directly dispatched to the bottom level.
In the other large-scale battles, the commander's management ability was not in place, and the soldiers' training was not qualified. When they came together, it was a disaster. During the Battle of Feishui, 80,000 people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty only defeated the vanguard army of the Former Qin. Then someone shouted, saying that "if the battle was defeated, everyone fled", and then they coaxed and fled.
Taxas thought he had a good control over the Western Regions coalition, but in fact, he only knew the commanders and generals of the Western Regions at most. He would just catch him blindly when he went to the next level, without knowing him at all, and could not command him.
Therefore, he could only rely on the commanders to run back and forth...
This disadvantage is not exposed too clearly in a not-so-hard battle, because there is plenty of time left to the generals of Taxas and the Western Regions. They can gather together every night, hold meetings, and then assign tasks. The next day, each part will do its own tasks according to the task process assigned by the meeting.
When attacking the military camp, this problem was actually manifested. At that time, some problems were encountered during the attack. Taxas obviously could not coordinate and change quickly. They could only watch and wait until the next day to improve and change again, so that the attack on the military camp could not continue to put strong pressure on Yu Junzhai. There were more coalition soldiers in the Western Regions, but they could not fully exert all their strength.
And now...
When Zhang Liao rushed over, this problem was magnified in an instant.
Taxas sent out messengers, and generals from Western countries also sent out their messengers. These messengers were not allowed to arrive in an instant like in a strategy game. They had to find their targets for messengers in the vast crowd, and asked them in various parts where the people they were looking for were located. What was even more troublesome is that the people they were looking for were not fixed...
Zhang Liao did not give the Western Regions coalition time to discuss and launched an attack directly!
Immediately, the commanders and generals of the Western Regions shouted and sent out messengers to find Taxa. The Thousand Cavalry Commander under him also sent messengers to find their superiors to ask what to do. Then they also met the messengers of the Hundred Cavalry Commander and asked them what to do.
For a moment, almost all the messengers on the battlefield were running, then shouting, identifying the troops they were looking for in the vast number of flags.
It's like finding someone in a large square or shopping mall in later generations. Even if there is a telephone number, it is agreed to be somewhere, and then there is no one to see. The two of them shouted with the phone, and finally forced to use their tricks.
"Just stand wherever you are! Don't move!"
In the square mall, people can stand and stop moving, and even have to add a numbered "convergence point" to the battlefield? Even if there is such a convergence point, can the Western Regions Alliance do it?
When I saw the Han cavalry, a vast iron wall was pressing up, I also stood firm and stood still.
Therefore, even though Taxas clearly realized that Zhang Liao came to support or rescue the military camp, it was useless. The commanders of the Western Regions under his command were only nominal subordinates and could usually move slowly and arrange dispatches. But now when the situation is sudden, Taxas can no longer command.
Taxas' plan was to let these Western Regions coalition forces intercept Zhang Liao's road to the military camp, and then let Zhang Liao fall into the heavy siege of the Western Regions coalition forces, intercept Zhang Liao's impact with traps, and finally use absolute manpower to kill Zhang Liao...
Is there any problem with this plan in theory?
No problem at all.
Taxas knew very well that even his direct troops might not be the opponent of the Han cavalry, so other Western military troops would not expect to fight against the Han cavalry alone. Therefore, from the beginning of Taxas's planning, it was to use manpower to exchange for victory and use recruitment to fight the guards.
The snow in Tianshan is very white.
The sky in the Western Regions is very blue.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now, among these beautiful but somewhat cold tones, a bright red blood color suddenly increases.
The Western Regions country closest to Zhang Liao and others was Shanshan.
Tonggeroga was about to cry.
This is often the case for people. The more they are afraid of, the more they will encounter.
Shanshan originally wanted to deviate from the battlefield and avoid the invasion of Taxas and his Kushan people, so he deliberately chose an area that was closer to the outside. Since most of the grasslands to the west were occupied by other tribes and other tribes, even if there were no one, they were almost gnawed. Therefore, Shanshan and the others could only choose to be closer to the east.
Originally, Shanshan thought this was not a problem, because being close to the east did not mean that they would always be on the front line. When the Western Regions coalition forces rolled forward, Shanshan and the others naturally became the second line and the third line, and then they could find an opportunity to evacuate...
But unexpectedly, before they could evacuate, Zhang Liao came.
Now, King Chengshan, Groga, must face the consequences of his own choice.
When the Han cavalry appeared, the chaotic sound of horns around them had already made everyone know what was going on, but they didn't know what to do. In addition to those close to each other, the various horn sounds could be clearly heard, and most other Western Regions coalition forces heard two or more different horn sounds...
The cavalry of Shanshan, the most peripheral country, had no time to listen to any instructions, and had no time to distinguish the information in the different horns. They just met with instinct!
Shanshan people, or Loulan people, were still very capable of fighting for a certain period of time. They were once known as one of the seven powerful countries in the Western Regions. However, since they were beaten by the Hunzi and Fatty Han, the Shanshan people didn't even dare to ask for the original name of Loulan. The king gave up, and just wanted to get the farther away from these two evil men, the better.
In fact, the current territory of Xihai City was originally from Loulan, but now...
Therefore, it is impossible to say that there is little hatred for the Han people in the hearts of Shanshan people.
Only when it hurts will you hate it.
But is it useful to just hate?
If Shanshan was still Loulan, he could have fought with the Huns and the Han for a few rounds, then the gap between Shanshan and the Han now has not been shortened, but has been widened.
Just like the Huns, when they first fought with the Han people, they could resist face to face, and even use cavalry to directly attack the Han people's military formation, trapping the Han emperor on the top of the mountain, almost making him lose his wife. However, with the development of the Han people's full strength, crazy explosion of soldiers and building blacksmith shops to upgrade technology, the Huns' cavalry had to turn from frontal attacks to guerrillas, and then again became exchanged for space for time...
In the face of absolute disadvantage, the speed of 25 is not enough!
The Han Iron Cavalry is now even more elite than when Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were back then. The equipment on his body is better than that of the Han Dynasty. The general in charge is also a first-class cavalry general. On the other hand, Shanshan may be better than Loulan back then, but it is only that better.
Shanshan's cavalry, waving a scimitar, looked like they were slashing on the Han iron cavalry very sharply, but at most they only had a few pieces of iron armor and broken a few silk ribbons. Before the splashing sparks could be ignited, they were unwilling to be destroyed in the air with Shanshan's cavalry in the queue of Han iron cavalry.
Faced with the spontaneous interception of Shanshan people, Zhang Wenyuan didn't even feel anything. Did he penetrate the enemy's array or the other party's film?
Tong Geroga, on the other side, watched the Han army rushing towards him, and his "elite" cavalry, one by one, submerged under the surging iron cavalry of the Han people, his heart seemed to fall into an ice cave, with tear-like pain and despair.
He even saw the Han cavalry at the end of the queue, like juggling or showing off, tying the flag on his back down and slamming the corpses of Shanshan people in the fields...
"No!"
Tonggeroga roared, trying to deny everything in front of him, or think it was a nightmare, and he was still in the dream and did not wake up.
But the next moment, the strong smell of blood floating on the battlefield forced him to accept this reality.
Loulan could not defeat the Han people back then, and Shanshan now could not defeat them either.
Even more and more impossible to beat...
Tonggeroga pulled out the battle knife viciously, then bit his lip, and slashed in the air a few times in the direction where Zhang Liao rushed, as if this could completely impose his anger and unwillingness on Zhang Liao, and also cling to the curse in his heart on his long armoured spear and seep into his body.
