On a hill about two hundred meters high, Fei Qian looked at the sky and said, "Han Sheng, I'll leave it to you this time."
Huang Zhong laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, I'm going to go!" After saying that, he patted his horse and went forward with more than a thousand soldiers.
Fei Qian looked at Huang Zhong's back and sighed slightly in his heart.
It's not that I'm worried about this battle, but that I feel sorry for Huang Zhong.
As the saying goes, a disease comes like a mountain and disappears like a thread. Although the virus is not as cold as a day, once it breaks out, it is often very rapid, and treatment is often involved and extremely troublesome.
Although Huang Zhong's son has been nursed back to health and treated by Zhang Zhongjing, he has been suffering from a long-term illness. If he wants to recover in the blink of an eye...
After all, Zhang Zhongjing is just a famous doctor. He doesn't have to be a god with ten or eight Nine-turn Great Return Golden Pills in his bag at any time. It is already a very remarkable thing to be able to pull Huang Zhong's son out of the hands of death.
, but it will still take some time for him to recover like a normal person.
In other words, there is no problem for Huang Zhong to do him a favor here, but it is probably still a bit difficult to follow him to Bingzhou...
Just let it go, some things can't be forced after all.
It is undeniable that Huang Zhong is a very good general, but after all, he is not in a game, where he can mow grass for a man worth ten thousand, and eat a steamed bun to make a living.
As long as they are properly arranged, even a few hundred people can cause great damage to the generals.
Human beings are extremely fragile creatures. The damage of any small part may cause huge disasters to the entire human body.
Warriors are more alert than ordinary people, move faster, and have greater strength, but this does not mean that they are made of steel and iron and can avoid all harm. They will still bleed, get injured, and die.
Otherwise, Guan Yunchang would not have been hit by arrows again and again...
To be able to break the Martial Saint's defense, it must at least have a weapon bonus of +5 or above, right?
Before sword and gun, everyone is equal.
This is why Fei Qian dared to stand up against Sun Jian.
Moreover, Fei Qian also asked Huang's craftsmen to rush to make a batch of string openers, specifically used to open the bow strings of powerful crossbows.
Fei Qian had some bad ideas at first, and wanted to create a turntable string opener similar to a ratchet, but found that it would not be faster than human power, but the ratchet could control the size of the string opener.
And use this to adjust the crossbow range.
So Fei Qian simply proposed an idea, which is to use the simplest lever principle to increase the torque of the string opening, reduce the average force requirement and loss of each string opening by manpower, and thereby increase the speed and number of string openings.
Just like the wrenches and pliers of later generations, the simplest torque utilization, although it still requires manual labor, will save a lot of effort and reduce the intensity of labor.
The crossbowmen are divided into groups of three. One person shoots, one delivers, and one fires the crossbow. Each arrow is rotated. Under skilled conditions, although the rate of fire of the crossbowmen who work in division of labor is still not as fast as that of the archers who shoot at full speed, the others
In terms of range, power, sustainability, etc., they all surpass archers...
Of course, for safety reasons, Fei Qian ambushed not only strong crossbows this time, but also some archers to supplement them.
Fei Qian turned around and asked Huang Xu: "Where are the clothes and the flags, are they all ready?"
Huang Xu on the side handed over a set of clothes with a smile and said: "Everything is ready. Here, my lord, this is the 'beard'..."
Fei Qian took it and took a look, and suddenly became angry and said: "Is there such an ugly beard? It's curly and uneven, like a dog gnawing it! What on earth are you doing?
What happened?!"
This is simply an unforgivable mistake!
× × × × × × × × ×
Sun Jian and Han Dang led their soldiers in neat formations all the way south, with their scouts spread out far away, like jellyfish in the sea extending their tentacles to search for the target.
The military formations of the Han Dynasty did not mean seeing each other. Just like in movies and TV shows, they shouted loudly and then rushed forward. In that case, they would be beaten to death by the same soldiers who were waiting for them.
Once the enemy is discovered, they will usually stop at a suitable distance. If they are mainly infantry, they will choose to station one mile to two miles depending on the situation. Then the front army will stabilize the line, and the army on the left will move forward to the left.
Expand, the right arm unfolds to the right front, the center army and rear army combine with the front army to form a stable central formation, and then move forward.
And in this process, when the two sides meet in the field, what they compete with is the soldiers' mastery of the formation, the speed of gathering, and even the strength of the left and right wings, which may affect the outcome of the entire encounter...
The scouts coming forward like a stream of reports continuously passed on the opponent's information. Although the scouts were still damaged, it was no longer a one-sided situation. From the scouts' mouths, they could also know that the opponent's scouts also had
The loss made Sun Jian breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart.
If all the scouts were completely suppressed, Sun Jian might immediately turn around and return to the main camp. If the strength gap between individual soldiers is too big, an encounter would not be a good choice. But now it seems that although there is a slight gap,
But we can still fight, after all, we have more people on our side.
Moreover, there is another point that has always given Sun Jian the confidence to fight. No matter how strong the soldiers here are in Jingxiang, they are limited. If they really go into battle, only soldiers who have seen blood will not be nervous and panic. Normally,
Only what you have learned through training can be fully utilized, and those weaklings who have never seen blood may have hurt someone with one knife, but after seeing blood, they will be soft with the next knife...
The scouts sent word that the enemy's soldiers began to form formations!
Sun Jian was stunned. Are you going to form an array now?
Immediately, a smile slowly crept onto Sun Jian's face. He turned to Han Dang and said, "Yi Gong, what do you think?"
Han Dang looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and said: "If the army is strong and the enemy is weak, we will win this battle! We might as well slow down!"
Sun Jian also laughed loudly and said: "It's just what I wanted. Send the order, the whole army slows down and forms a formation slowly!"
The messenger responded loudly, then galloped forward to deliver the order.
Premature formation of formations usually means two things: either the soldiers are newly trained and have to form formations in advance; or the generals leading the troops are called cautious at best, but timid at worst...
And now judging from the comparison of the kills between the scouts, the opponent's soldiers are actually not weak, but they formed a formation so early. What does that mean? Isn't it obvious?
Moreover, it was a middle-aged general of the Huang family who had no reputation, whom he had never seen before, and now he actually made the wrong move. In Sun Jian's eyes, this was simply an unforgivable mistake...
What the hell is the weather like today? It’s so hot...
The author's bacteria have turned into dry bacteria in this weather...
I really admire myself for being able to add more updates...
