Never overestimate the combat effectiveness of ancient armies!
In fact, in an era when such ideas as good iron should not be hammered and good men should not be soldiers.
Serving as a soldier is just a helpless choice made by many people after they can no longer survive!
Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the common Tang soldiers in Xiao Han.
Except for a very few, such as the New Fire Guards, Xuanjia Army, or Li Jing's three thousand elite cavalry, it can be said that they really dare to fight and face difficulties!
The vast majority of the remaining Tang soldiers are, at best, a mediocre army; at worst, they are stragglers!
Moreover, this is not to belittle the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but in any ancient dynasty, most of the armies are almost in this state!
Even many armies cannot even be called stragglers, they can only be described as a group of rabble.
Of course, this is also easy to understand.
In ancient times, there was no special ideological construction of the army, and there was not much concept of protecting the homeland and the country! When a war was about to begin, the emperor gave an order, and the generals recruited troops on the spot and went directly to the battlefield. This was the most common thing!
A group of ordinary farmers who couldn't read a single word.
The day before, I might have been sweating profusely in the fields, tending to the crops.
The next day, they were conscripted into the army, given a knife, and asked to fight others on the battlefield!
Is it possible for you to expect such people to fight bravely and never return? Is it realistic?
In fact, if such a person actually goes to the battlefield and can stand firm and run away without turning around, it can be said that he is worthy of the few shillings of military pay.
Therefore, when fighting in ancient times, there would be an indispensable position in the army: supervising the battle team! This is the same business that Zhang Qiang once did!
Their role is to kill and force the soldiers to advance without retreating!
This can also explain why in ancient wars, as long as one of the generals fell and the general's flag was taken away, no matter what happened,
No matter how many men and horses the party has left, they will immediately be defeated.
The boss who led them to the war is dead, the company has been disbanded, and if they don't run away, who will they work for? Is it possible to expect the dead ghost to pay themselves?
The famous Tang soldiers all had such military qualities, let alone these Goryeo sticks! These are a group of trash that are worse than even mountain bandits.
In Xiao Han's telescope.
Weijia Village has now turned into a complete mess!
Countless Goguryeo people thought they were surrounded because they didn't know how many Tang people were coming, so they immediately blew up the camp, lost their minds, and ran around howling!
As for Lao Zhang, although he was a little stronger than the Goguryeo people, he was still terrified. He grabbed the reins and wanted to turn around and run away!
It's a pity that a horse's U-turn is different from a human's U-turn...
A person can just turn around and run away, but a horse needs to make a big circle in order to turn around!
In addition, there was the second son's donkey beside him, and the seventh son didn't know that the eighth son's horse was also crowded nearby. Lao Zhang almost broke the reins, and the horse under him didn't even turn around.
"ah……"
Just when Lao Zhang was so worried that he was sweating profusely and wanted to jump off his horse and escape alone, a Goguryeo man, who may have lost his mind, actually rushed towards them and managed to survive.
Hit the dick's ass!
"hold head high……"
What kind of donkey temper does the second donkey have? I feel uncomfortable being ridden by others. Now I see a "two-legged beast" daring to hit me. I immediately opened my mouth and screamed, then pointed at the man's head and hit him hard.
Bite it down hard!
"Ahhhh..."
This rush
The Goguryeo man who came over was stunned by the collision. When he opened his eyes, he saw two rows of big white teeth biting his head!
At this time, even if he loses his mind again, his body will know how to hide to the side subconsciously! And when he hides, behind him is Lao Zhang's horse!
"Chirp chirp..."
Next, just listen to the neighing of a war horse!
The second child called him a donkey and already bit the leg of Lao Zhang's horse!
Now, the horse was startled!
The pained war horses neighed and rushed toward the pile of Goguryeo soldiers in front of them like crazy!
Poor Lao Zhang, who is on horseback, even if he has a million mothers selling batches in his heart, he can only be carried forward by the war horse!
And before he was taken away by the war horse, the last action he made was to grab the reins of the second donkey.
"Chirp chirp..."
"Angang..."
A horse and a donkey, galloping wildly through the village!
Upon seeing this, the Goguryeo soldiers along the way frantically dodged to both sides. Those who could not escape were directly knocked away, with blood dripping from their mouths. This terrifying scene aroused even more fear among the others!
"Boss! Second child..."
The other bandits were also shocked when they saw their boss and his second brother charging towards the Goguryeo soldiers regardless of their own safety!
A few people who had already turned around and wanted to run away also turned around and looked at the boss's back!
"Damn it! Fight with these bastards!"
"Come on! Fuck you!"
After a while, not knowing where the courage came from, the first bandit shouted, picked up the two mandarin duck knives, and rushed into the village!
With the first example set, the remaining bandits also became ruthless and gritted their teeth.
He yelled and rushed over!
Perhaps they, who are used to being bandits, also know that they were unlucky today and bumped into so many enemies. Even if they turned around and ran away, they would not be able to outrun the pursuit of so many people!
In this case, it's better to be ruthless and fight with the other party! Depending on the bearish appearance of the other party, you might be able to kill them until they pee and run away with their heads in their hands!
Village center.
Da Moda, who rushed out of the house, saw that the opponent only had two horses, and one of them was a donkey, so he killed his men until they fell on their backs, cried for father and mother, and was so angry that his hair stood on end.
"Don't run away, come up to me and kill them!"
He shouted, wanting his men to rush forward and stop Lao Zhang who was on his horse!
But at this time, the surroundings were already in chaos, with all kinds of people shouting and neighing. Not to mention that you couldn't hear his screams. Even if you could hear him, who would be willing to hear his orders at this time?
"waste!!!"
He screamed several times in succession, even his voice was almost hoarse, but he didn't see anyone obeying his orders!
Da Moda finally roared angrily, grabbed a long bamboo pole nearby for drying clothes and rushed forward!
For this plan, he could only take action himself and stab Lao Zhang down on his horse!
As long as the invading Tang people are killed and the threat is gone, those frightened subordinates will naturally recover slowly!
However, there is a saying in this world, that is, plans can never keep up with changes!
Just when Da Moda took a good posture and pointed the trembling bamboo pole at Lao Zhang who was rushing towards him!
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his lower abdomen!
The pain was so sudden and clear, as if countless knives were stirring in his stomach. The pain was so painful that he couldn't even stand still!
