"There is such a strong army among the princes!" Guo Si said in surprise.
"Look at the banner of this cavalry, it is Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao has a good command of the army and has a good strategy. In time, he will definitely be a powerful enemy of the lord and should be eradicated as soon as possible." Guo Jiadao.
"Wen You, the army in your hands is the Xiliang Army. I wonder if there is Jia Rong's method of training soldiers?" Yuan Shao suddenly asked from the Chinese army's tent.
Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others also cast curious eyes on Li Ru. Jia Rong held a strong army and was invincible. Naturally, the princes were extremely envious, especially the cavalry of the Xiliang Army. Their combat power was said to be unparalleled in the world, and the cavalry was the weakness of the princes.
"The Xiliang Army can be said to be selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. Each soldier can be called an elite. Soldiers in the army are divided according to levels: upper-class soldiers, middle-class soldiers, and lower-class soldiers. Each class has
It is divided into three levels, also known as the ninth level of soldiers. All soldiers in the army are probably the best among the middle soldiers. The level of the soldiers can be seen from what they wear on their clothes. All the cavalry in the battle today are
The upper-class soldiers have different ranks and different military pay. The highest-class soldiers are paid three times as much as the lower-class soldiers, and their status is usually higher. Of course, soldiers are equal and cannot cause trouble with each other."
Cao Cao stared at Li Ru with burning eyes. Jia Rong's classification of soldiers can stimulate the soldiers in the army and inspire them to move forward bravely. As soldiers, no one wants to be inferior to others, especially when it comes to the soldiers' pay.
, this is because the Xiliang army is rich and powerful. Most of the soldiers of the Central Plains princes are soldiers who fight for free. There is no salary. After dying in the battle, the family will only receive a pitiful pension. Soldiers are equal and only take care of the weak.
That's all, no matter where you are, there will never be absolute fairness.
"Some middle-class soldiers and low-class soldiers, most of them are responsible for city defense and patrol matters in the city. They have no chance to play." Seeing the princes' interest, Li Ru continued: "What is scary is that the soldiers of the Xiliang Army
They have never been afraid of sacrifice. All soldiers regard death in battle as the greatest honor. The tall hero monument in Chang'an City is their destination. At the same time, Jia Rong also stipulated that the families of Xiliang Army soldiers who died in battle do not need to pay taxes, and the government will be responsible for their care.
The family members arrange things to ensure that they have enough food and clothing, and soldiers on the battlefield don’t have to worry about what happens after them, so they can naturally move forward bravely and risk their lives to fight.”
"The Xiliang army is so powerful, it's really extraordinary!" Yuan Shao sighed.
"In the Xiliang Army, Jia Rong divided the generals into division commanders, regiment commanders, battalion commanders, company commanders, platoon leaders, and squad leaders. Only battalion commanders and above can be called generals. This is completely different from the Central Plains military system.
."
"And what's even more terrifying is that the Xiliang army is equipped with medical soldiers. These soldiers are not responsible for fighting, but are only responsible for treating soldiers. Everyone present may have heard about the medical center in Chang'an City. Each team will send medical soldiers. Once there is a
If a soldier is injured, medical soldiers will immediately carry him down for treatment."
What Li Ru said was just a superficial glimpse of the Xiliang Army, but through these systems, the princes all saw how powerful the Xiliang Army was, and could formulate such detailed rules to properly handle the casualties of soldiers on the battlefield and the aftermath of their deaths.
Don't worry, the soldiers dare not die.
"In general, the equipment and money of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are supported by craftsmen's workshops. Jia Rong has two counselors, one is Jia Xu and the other is Guo Jia. Both of them are talented in the world. Jia Xu has this
He is highly valued by Jia Rong and is responsible for Chang'an affairs." Li Ru said.
After Li Ru's explanation, the princes in the tent undoubtedly opened their eyes. In the past, they only heard how powerful the Xiliang army was, but how could they have such a deep understanding of it? With the perfect military system, soldiers don't have to worry about what happens after their death.
Worry, the people don't have to worry about three meals a day, businessmen can make profits, and Chang'an's prosperity is indeed no accident.
"The soldiers in Wenyou's army are all from the Xiliang Army in the past, and their combat effectiveness is unparalleled. We will send sergeants to challenge the Xiliang Army in the pass in the future. Maybe they can weaken the spirit of the defenders to a certain extent." Yuan Shao said.
All the princes in the tent thought so.
Li Ru shook his head and said: "Alliance leader, the Xiliang Army also has an instructor system. Every combat unit in the company has one person who is responsible for the daily ideological work of the soldiers. It can be said that he has won the hearts of the army. Even if I have soldiers in my hands, I would not dare to
If we challenge Guanzhong and see the former soldiers, it is inevitable that these soldiers will turn against each other. If such a thing happens, it will be a huge blow to the Allied Forces."
"Anyway, we fought with the Xiliang Army today. Both sides suffered casualties, thanks to Meng De's cavalry." Yuan Shao said.
"According to the praise of the leader of the alliance, there are not many cavalry in our army and cannot withstand such consumption." Cao Cao said.
"It doesn't matter, let the Xiliang army see the style of Jizhou Erlang in the future." Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly tightened and he said loudly.
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly. There is no doubt about the strength of the Jizhou army. Gongsun Zan and Baima Yi came from the whistling frontier and were repeatedly defeated by Yuan Shao. There must be a team that can restrain the cavalry. This is why Cao Cao is very scrupulous about Yuan Shao. These princes
The camps of the coalition formed were separated from each other, just like when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and it was difficult to know the basics of each other.
"If the alliance leader personally sends troops, he will definitely achieve a complete victory." The princes agreed, as long as they are not allowed to contribute, there is no harm in saying complimentary words.
The next day, as expected by Yuan Shao, another army came out of the city to challenge. The leader was Ma Teng, a rising general of the Xiliang Army. Since following Jia Rong, in addition to his glory on the battlefield of Bingzhou, he has always been outstanding in the army.
It is an unknown existence.
"How dare the armies of the princes accept the challenge!"
As soon as Ma Teng left the city, Yuan Shao had already received the news. The three armies were dispatched, with flags flying. Yuan Shao stood majestically under the handsome banner and stared coldly at the 500 cavalry in front of the army. The Jizhou army was about to establish its authority from these cavalry.
Judging from the momentum of these cavalry, they were more than one level inferior to the Zhao Yun cavalry that went into battle yesterday.
"Zhang Zha, you lead the army into battle and cannot tarnish the reputation of the Jizhou Army." Yuan Shao said.
Zhang Jace immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and promised, and with an order, a thousand soldiers walked out from the Jizhou Army.
Li Ru frowned slightly. These Jizhou troops turned out to be infantry. Didn't Yuan Shao know that cavalry was born to be the nemesis of infantry? Especially for the brave Xiliang army, I am afraid that with just one charge, Yuan's soldiers would cease to exist. Where would they come from?
The idea of establishing prestige? Although I felt that Yuan Shao's attack would not be easy, I was still a little disappointed by the scene in front of me.
Suddenly, Li Ru's pupils tightened. He noticed the equipment of these soldiers. They were holding halberds and wearing armor, just like heavy infantry. What was particularly attractive about the halberd in their hands was its length. There is no doubt that such
The long weapons will pierce the galloping cavalry, and the armor on their bodies can effectively protect their safety on the battlefield.
He rode his horse with an open-jawed expression and walked among the Euphorbia warriors, fighting against the world-famous Xiliang Army. It was inevitable that he felt a little excited.
"Do the Xiliang army dare to fight?" He opened his jaw and roared loudly, and his powerful voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
Ma Teng was surprised by the equipment of these soldiers, but he did not want his soldiers to retreat. He waved his sword in his hand, and the rumble of horse hooves accompanied by the sound of dust, he went towards the Euphorbia soldiers led by Zhang Jaw.
Yuan Shao was a little nervous, and his palms were sweating. The Euphorbia soldiers defeated Baima Yicong, but facing the world-famous Xiliang army, what will be the outcome?
The two teams were approaching, and the Xiliang Army's arrow rain did not cause much damage to them. Except for a few unlucky Euphorbia warriors who were shot in the face, the rest of the soldiers still marched towards Ma Teng in neat steps.
They held the halberd tightly in their hands and looked indifferent, as if such a scene did not pose any challenge to them, or they had experienced too much and were already numb.
Guo Jia's face was gloomy as he closed the door. From the equipment of these soldiers, heavy infantry could be seen. He did not expect that in addition to yesterday's cavalry, there would be such a team in the princes' army. The princes had been fighting for many years, and most of them had some wealth. He
It's understandable, but I never thought that princes would make great efforts to cultivate such an army.
In particular, this team can still take firm steps in the face of cavalry charges, which all shows that it is actually a strong army.
At the beginning of the battle, the Xiliang army lived up to its reputation as an elite. The cavalry were seen doing some unimaginable movements on their horses, dodging the thrusting halberds. Their agility was astounding to those who saw it. The scimitars were harvesting the lives of the euphorbia warriors.
, although these people were wrapped in heavy armor, the soldiers did not show any helplessness, but instead moved towards the infantry's faces with their swords.
Under the command of Zhang Zha, the Euphorbia soldiers gradually stabilized their position and continued to fight with the Xiliang army. No matter how agile your body is, how can you escape from the halberd in the hands of the infantry? With an order, the Euphorbia soldiers did
Make uniform movements.
Unprepared, quite a few cavalrymen were stabbed and fell off their horses. The horses neighed, and the battlefield instantly boiled, with the sound of people shouting and horses neighing constantly heard.
After only a moment of fighting, Ma Teng felt the difficulty of the cavalry in front of him, especially under the command of Zhang Zha, who maximized the advantages of the infantry. If he replaced it with ordinary cavalry, he would have already been defeated and his face was gloomy.
, Ma Teng tried his best to slash at a Euphorbia soldier. The light of Pi Lian's sword flashed away. The armor on the infantryman could not save his life. The long sword in Ma Teng's hand was made of fine iron.
Made of black iron, not to mention cutting iron like clay, it is also a rare and good weapon. The word disbelief was clearly written in the eyes of the Euphorbia, his eyes were wide open, he knelt down weakly, and fell into a pool of blood.
among.
The situation between the two warring parties gradually turned into a stalemate. The Euphorbia warriors were well-equipped and commanded well. They actually stabilized the cavalry's offensive. With the halberds in their hands, they tore off a piece of flesh from the Xiliang army.
Blocking the sharpness of the cavalry attack, the Xiliang army faced basically a one-sided massacre. The Euphorbia warriors were like demons harvesting lives, and one cavalryman was knocked off his horse.
