Chapter 2913: Its okay to be entangled with Ge Ge.
Chapter 2912: If you are entangled, you can walk on the frost
"Don't worry." Taksa said confidently, "There is nothing wrong with my plan."
Busen glanced at Taksa and saw Taksa's proud look. For some reason, Busen's heart seemed to skip a beat.
"What?" Taksa seemed to know what Busen was thinking, "Master, don't you believe it? I really have a plan. You know, what the Han people like most is to attack the enemy's main formation... which is here...
』
Taxa stretched out his hand and gestured at the area in front of him.
"The Han people are very strong." Taksa raised his head and raised his nose, exposing the hairs inside his nostrils, "So they are very proud! Yes, very proud. And we can just take advantage of this!"
I found that every time the Han people attack, they will choose to attack the opponent's main formation, and then use this to force the opponent's formation to become bad, so that they can carry out continuous attacks without worrying about the opponent's counterattack..."
"Now that we know what the Han people like to do..." Taksa said proudly, "I have set a trap here! Trap! Hahaha! Master, you can watch me later and how hard I will kick."
These Han people’s butts!』
Busen nodded without saying a word. He clasped his hands together and pronounced a Buddhist chant, as if praying that this guy's plan would work this time...
Yes, Taksa 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 all left a deep impression on Taksa.
Because Gao Shun and Zhang Liao did not have many troops, and their tactics were relatively similar, when they found Taksa's flaw, they unanimously chose to strike hard at the opponent's formation. This sudden outbreak
The powerful force coming out made Taxa couldn't help but feel the fear in his heart.
Attack the opponent's main formation, kill the general and seize the flag, establishing victory in one fell swoop.
This tactics similar to decapitation was spread in the North. Not only Lu Bu and others often used it, but even Liu Bei's three brothers, as well as Yuan Shao's Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others were very familiar with it and used it freely.
Taksa had previously ordered to dig up soil and pack bags to attack the military stronghold. Although it was unsuccessful, it still left some potholes, so Taksa simply continued to expand in these places and created some traps.
Prevent Han raids.
Of course, the first thing Taksa was wary of was the Han people in the military stronghold. He was afraid that the Han people in the military stronghold would come out to risk their lives at night...
Unexpectedly, the Han people in the military camp did not come out, but Zhang Liao came instead.
"Very good," Taxa clapped her hands twice, encouraged herself, took long inhales and exhales, and shouted in an exciting and proud voice, "Come on, baby, let daddy kick your ass!"
Taksa was concentrating on the movements of Zhang Liao and others, but he did not realize that his own coalition forces had problems, and they were still serious problems.
He manages too many people...
There are many people in the Western Regions.
The key is that these people still have their own ideas.
The coalition is strong in this "coalition", and the weak is also in this "coalition".
This is the fatal problem. His scheduling is close to failure in emergency situations, but he still hasn't discovered it, or subconsciously ignored it. This is the most important and serious problem for the Western Region Allied Forces at the moment, and it was also the beginning.
It has already been reflected, but Taksa ignored the problem...
Strictly speaking, Taksa is just a general with a thousand men. He has commanded at most three to four thousand men before, and has no experience in commanding any higher troops. Therefore, his current ability is not enough to command ten thousand people. Now he is suddenly selected
Taking over the heavy burden of the Western Region Allied Forces, the result was like Wu Dalang picking up a stall, only seeing the stall but no people.
In movies and TV dramas, there are often armies of one hundred thousand and one million, but in fact, in history, one hundred thousand troops have been relatively rare, and it is extremely difficult to break through the one million level army.
He doesn't have the ability.
If you want to have such an experience, you must first have so many people.
Secondly, we can say whether there are generals who can command...
Whether it is the Western Kingdoms or the Kushan Empire, there are basically no million-level battles. After all, this requires living people, and it is not something you can just have if you want.
Even if the population base reaches one million levels, it still needs financial and food support.
In the history of China, there have only been about three million-level battles.
The number one ranking is naturally Emperor Sui Yang’s expedition to Goguryeo.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dispatched a total of 24 armies, with a total number of more than one million, while the opposing Goguryeo side only had 130,000 troops at full strength. Under such a disparity in strength, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty may have felt that this was a sure thing.
How to lose when flying dragon rides on the face?
However, due to the bad weather in Liaodong and the arrogance of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, as well as the interaction of many complex internal and external factors, the Sui Dynasty's million-strong army lost 300,000 people on the battlefield in Liaodong, and the rest returned without their armor.
The second place is the Battle of Changping.
In fact, this battle can no longer be regarded as a million-level battle. It can only be said that the sum of both sides exceeds one million.
This battle was the strongest cornerstone for Qin to establish its unification. Zhao's military strength was 450,000, and Qin was the attacker, with more troops than Zhao's, about 600,000, which is barely over a million.
Everyone knows the result of the war. It ended with the entire Zhao army being destroyed and Qin suffering nearly half of its casualties. It was this battle that established the name of Bai Qi, the best god of war in the world!
At the peak of the Qin State, the maximum mobilization capacity was about 800,000. Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 to build the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, and an army of 500,000 to attack Lingnan. The rest could not squeeze out even one more point, otherwise they would not have arrived.
I can't deal with Liu Xiang and Liu Xiang later.
The third place is the Battle of Feishui. The former Qin Emperor Fu Jian who unified the north raised 870,000 troops and marched south to the Eastern Jin Dynasty in an attempt to unify. The two sides launched a decisive showdown at Feishui.
As a result, at Feishui, the multi-ethnic former Qin army almost collapsed without a fight. Eighty thousand Jin troops took advantage of the situation to pursue and defeated the former Qin. Fu Jian fled back to the north in embarrassment, and the former Qin empire collapsed and dispersed.
As for Lao Cao’s Battle of Chibi, sorry, it didn’t even make it into the top ten...
In the Battle of Chibi during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's army did not even have 300,000 soldiers, but about 150,000, or more than 200,000 at most. In the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei led an army of about 100,000 soldiers, with a total of 150,000 soldiers.
, claimed to be 700,000, but were eventually defeated by Lu Xun's command of about 50,000 troops.
Now the Western Region Allied Forces total 300,000 to 40,000 people, known as 300,000.
What? Compared with the current military strength of Zhang Liao and other Han people, it is indeed relatively large. Of course, there are advantages to having more people. For example, if hundreds or thousands of people die easily, it is almost nothing, and Taksa will not have too many eyelids.
Blink.
Just like the previous military camp attack failed, Taksa didn't care at all how many people died, and even felt that the death of people could just reduce some of the burden...
They are all old and weak anyway, so they will die if they die.
At the same time, there are more people, and they are more tolerant. For example, digging holes and so on, Taksa does not have to worry about wasting the precious energy of his direct troops.
If something happens, then so-and-so, go do it. If there is something else, go do it. But at the end, no one often knows who went there and what they did...
Management is a delicate art that not everyone can master.
From the millions of battles in Chinese history, we can know that the more soldiers, the better. The reason why the Battle of Changping was successful was not because the Qin Dynasty had more people, but because the Qin Dynasty had formed an effective command of the soldiers.
The command structure of the system and pyramid is very stable and very convenient. As a commander, he can be directly dispatched to the lower levels.
In the remaining large-scale battles, the commander's management skills were not in place and the training of the soldiers was unqualified. When combined, it was a disaster. During the Battle of Feishui, 80,000 people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty only defeated the forward army of the former Qin Dynasty.
, and then someone yelled, "The battle is defeated, everyone should run away," and then they all coaxed them to run away.
Taksa thought he had good control over the Western Region Allied Forces, but in fact, he only knew the commanders and generals of the Western Region countries at best. The next level down, he was blinded. He didn't know them at all, and he couldn't command them.
Therefore, he can only rely on messengers to run back and forth...
This shortcoming will not be too obvious in less fierce battles, because there is plenty of time left for the generals of Taksa and the Western Regions. They can gather together every night and hold a meeting.
Then assign tasks, and the next day each department will do it according to the task process assigned during the meeting.
During the attack on Junzhai, this problem actually manifested itself to some extent. During the attack, Taksa encountered some problems. It was obvious that Taksa was unable to coordinate and change quickly, and could only watch helplessly.
, wait until the next day to improve and change, so that during the attack on Junzhai, it cannot continue to put strong pressure on Yujunzhai. There are obviously more soldiers from the Western Region Alliance, but they cannot fully exert their full strength.
And now...
When Zhang Liao rushed over, this problem was magnified in an instant.
Taksa sent messengers, and the generals of the Western Region countries also sent their messengers. These messengers are not like in strategic games. They can arrive instantly. They have to find the target of their orders among the vast crowds.
They have to ask in each department where the person they are looking for is located. What is even more troublesome is that the people they are looking for are not fixed...
Zhang Liao launched an attack directly without giving the Western Region Allied Forces time to deliberate!
Immediately, the leading generals of the Western Region countries shouted and sent out messengers to find Taksa, and the Qianqi Commander under him also sent out messengers to ask their superiors what to do, and then they also
I 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 around, shouting, and identifying the troops they were looking for among the numerous flags.
This is like looking for someone in a big square or a shopping mall in later generations. Even if there is a phone, they agree to be at a certain place, and then they can't see the person. The two of them hold the phone and shout, and finally force them to
Then use a unique trick——
"Stay where you are! Don't move!"
People can stand still inside the plaza shopping mall, and even have to add a numbered "meeting point", but is this possible on the battlefield? Even if there is such a meeting point, can the Western Region Allied Forces do it?
When you see the Han cavalry and a huge iron wall pressing up on you, do you still stick to your post and stand still?
Therefore, even if Taksa clearly realized that Zhang Liao came to support or rescue the military camp, it would not help. The commanders of the Western Region countries under him were only nominal subordinates, and they could usually move slowly and make arrangements.
Dispatch, but now when the situation breaks out, Taksa can't control it at all.
Taksa's plan was to let these Western Region coalition forces block Zhang Liao's road to the military camp, then make Zhang Liao fall into a heavy siege by the Western Region coalition forces, use traps to intercept Zhang Liao's attack, and finally use absolute manpower to kill Zhang Liao.
…
Are there any theoretical problems with this plan?
No problem at all.
Taksa knew very well that even his direct troops might not be a match for the Han cavalry. Therefore, other soldiers and horses from the Western Regions did not expect to be able to fight the Han cavalry alone. So he planned from Taksa
The beginning was to prepare to exchange manpower for victory and use levies to fight against the Guards.
The snow in Tianshan Mountain is very white.
The sky in the Western Region is very blue.
But now, among these beautiful but somewhat cold tones, there is suddenly a bright red blood color.
The Western Region state closest to Zhang Liao and others was Shanshan.
Tong Geluojia was about to cry.
This is often the case with people, the more they fear something, the more likely they will encounter it.
Shanshan originally wanted to deviate from the battlefield and avoid the intrusion of Taksa and his Kushan people, so he deliberately chose a relatively outer area, and because most of the pastures in the west direction were occupied by
Other tribes and so on occupied it, and even the ones without people were almost eaten up, so Shanshan and the others could only choose to move closer to the east.
Shanshan originally thought that 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 Region Allied Forces moved forward, Shanshan and the others would naturally become the second line.
, the third line, and then you can find an opportunity to evacuate...
But unexpectedly, Zhang Liao arrived before they could evacuate.
Now, Uncle Tong Grojia, King of Shanshan, must face the consequences of his own choices.
When the Han cavalry appeared, the chaotic sound of horns in the surrounding area made everyone aware of what was going on, but no one knew what to do. The various horn sounds were still audible except for the ones that were close.
In addition to being clear, the formation can also be adjusted, while most of the other Western Region coalition forces heard two or more different horns...
The cavalry of the Shanshan Kingdom on the outermost side had no time to listen to any instructions, and no time to distinguish the messages contained in the different horn horns, so they just rushed forward based on instinct!
The people of Shanshan, or rather the people of Loulan, were still very good at fighting in a certain period of time. They were once known as one of the seven powerful countries in the Western Regions, but since they were beaten several times by the Hun Heizi and the Han Fatty, they took turns.
, the people of Shanshan didn't even dare to ask for the original Loulan's name, and the king gave it up. They just wanted to stay as far away from these two evil men as possible.
In fact, the current territory of Xihai City belonged to the Loulan people back then, but now...
Therefore, it is impossible to say that Shanshan people do not have some hatred for the Han people in their hearts.
Only when it hurts can you hate it.
But is it useful to just have hatred?
If Shanshan was still able to fight several rounds with the Xiongnu and the Han when it was still Loulan, then now the gap between Shanshan and the Han has not been shortened, but has been widened.
Just like the Huns, at the beginning of the war with the Han people, they could resist face to face, and even used cavalry to directly attack the Han army formation, trapping the Han emperor on the top of the mountain, and almost cost him his wife. However,
With the full development of the Han people, crazy explosions of troops, construction of blacksmith shops and upgrading of technology, the Huns' cavalry had to change from frontal assault to guerrilla, and then to trade space for time again...
Faced with an absolute disadvantage, even a hand speed of 250 is not enough!
The Han cavalry are now even more elite and tough than when Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were there, and their equipment is better than that of the Han Dynasty at any time. The generals they command are also the first-class cavalry generals at the moment. On the other hand, Shanshan is perhaps better than what it was back then.
Loulan is better, but it's only so good.
Shanshan's cavalry brandished their scimitars, and it looked like they were slashing at the Han cavalry, but at most they only broke a few pieces of iron armor and broke a few silk ribbons, and there were no sparks flying.
There was no time to light anything, but it was unwillingly annihilated in the air along with Shanshan's cavalry in the formation of the Han army's cavalry.
Facing the Shanshan people's spontaneous interception, classmate Zhang Wenyuan didn't even feel anything. Was what he pierced through the enemy's array, or the opponent's membrane?
Tong Geluojia on the other side watched the Han army rushing towards him and his "elite" cavalry being submerged one by one under the surging Han cavalry. His heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Tearing pain and despair.
He even saw the Han cavalry at the end of the queue, looking like they were juggling or showing off, with the flag on his back facing downwards, and plunging into the place where Shanshan people's corpses were scattered...
"No!"
Tong Geluojia roared, trying to deny what he was seeing, or thinking that it was a nightmare, but he was still in the dream and had not woken up.
But the next moment, the strong smell of blood wafted from the battlefield, forcing him to accept this reality.
Loulan could not defeat the Han people back then, and Shanshan could not defeat them now either.
Even more and more unbeatable...
Tong Geluojia fiercely pulled out the sword, then bit his lip, and slashed several times in the air in the direction Zhang Liao was charging, as if this way he could fully exert his anger and unwillingness on Zhang Liao.
, the curse in his heart also clung to his armor and spear, seeping into his body.
Then, Tong Geluojia was like a deflated rubber ball, hunched over, tilting his head, turning the horse's head, and popped out a few words from between his teeth: "Retreat! Escape quickly!"
