46. ??Countermeasure, attribute to the glory of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty
"Boying, do you feel pressure?"
"Are you feeling pressure? I do feel some pressure, but it makes me even more excited to be able to avenge my shame so quickly!"
Well, it’s really boring for me to discuss such an issue with someone who prefers single-celled animals.
"Lord... I don't know why I suddenly felt that you seemed to have thought of something very rude to me just now."
"Here you go, isn't mind-reading a special skill reserved for girls, especially pretty girls?"
"I'm really sorry that I'm a stinky man. My mistress's great ambition to take the initiative to show off to my lord is something we can only look up to, so lord, please stop focusing on us stinky men."
Already."
Why did the topic suddenly turn in a strange direction, and why did my eyes suddenly fill with tears? Is it because I was deeply fooled!
Well, you can tell from this conversation that although the enemy is indeed strong, at least the Bingzhou army is relatively relaxed now.
But this cannot conceal Li Shushi's deep inner worries.
In fact, Li Shushi knew very well how desperate the fighting method used by the Xianbei people on the opposite side was, especially in such a relatively open terrain. If he hadn't known that the opponent had many loopholes that could be exploited, and he also had
If there are many ways to deal with it, maybe Li Shushi would rather use strategies to deal with the opponent than choose the decisive battle like now.
After all, the masters of this combat method ravaged the entire Eurasian continent, and the armies using this combat method in its heyday were almost undefeated in field battles, and the few failures were not due to this
Tactical mistakes are mostly caused by the commander's underestimation of the enemy or civil strife, non-war crimes.
This tactic of using mobility and space to continuously mobilize the enemy is like a combination of mobile warfare and sparrow warfare, but relatively speaking, this tactic has more stringent requirements for space. After all, it is difficult to believe that war horses can move around like humans.
Traveling at high speed through the mountains and forests, the same lack of support from communication facilities limits the scope of dispersion and aggregation to a certain space.
But you can't deny that when combined with the right weapons on the right terrain, the power of this tactic is unprecedented.
Constantly using bows and arrows to harass you at a distance where you cannot fight back, making it impossible for you to stand firm in one place. There are no weak points that must be rescued, or those weak points can easily be hidden by the army, making your attacks more difficult.
Blindly, and then consume your physical strength, horsepower, and even military strength in pursuit.
Finally, when you are exhausted, they will symbolically charge to show their bravery, and then snatch the trophies that are very useful to them - living people, dead people, livestock, metals, and even everything.
Just like those Wusun people who rushed out with their own passion, they were torn into pieces and devoured.
Fortunately, the dynasty that Li Shushi currently lives in is the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which is thousands of years away from the era when the Mongolian iron hoofs were raging, and the opponent he has to face is not the Mongolian cavalry, which is already a master in all aspects, but one of their ancestors.
of Xianbei people.
After all, the Mongols at that time could enjoy the skills created by the Han people that had been continuously transferred to the grassland people since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, including various military-related processing techniques, as well as various combat ideas from the Han people.
So, just like Yang X, the Condor Hero, he integrated various skills and combined them with the unique social system and spiritual will of the grassland people, and finally introduced the new and became an almost insurmountable master.
However, the Xianbei people obviously do not have such good conditions.
Although they have continued to extend their sinful hands to the Han Dynasty since Tanshihuai, and they have almost inherited the glory of the Huns, they will even face a weaker empire... But after all, they still lack enough accumulation.
Including the accumulation of talents - at least Li Shushi is very clear
Although adult males among the Xianbei people in Chu are often better than ordinary Han soldiers in terms of combat skills and fighting will, this relies more on their years of experience fighting against harsh environments, rather than being systematic like the Mongols or Spartans.
People systematically and cruelly train warriors from an early age.
This also includes the iron arrowheads, an important part of the war weapon arrows that the Xianbei people rely on most even now. They need to be replenished by capturing them, and even with this army of hundreds of thousands, the average number that each person can obtain is not necessarily comparable.
How good were the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War? Although bone arrowheads also had a certain degree of lethality, they could not compete with steel in terms of stability and weight, not to mention that they had similar limitations to iron arrowheads in terms of quantity.
Therefore, facing the Xianbei people who had put up a posture, the first thing Li Shushi sent out was a mixed force with the Flying Bear Army led by Hua Xiong as the main body, a force built by Li Shushi to deal with the Xianbei people's riding and archery tactics.
The previously peaceful land once again heard violent tremors, and the earth seemed to be shaking slightly. The Xianbei people's war horses, who had been very quiet in the distance, first felt the sound coming from the depths of the earth.
The uneasy feeling.
One horse started to get restless, ten horses started to get restless, a hundred horses started to get restless, all the horses started to get restless... No matter they were strong young horses, or they were old horses that had been on the battlefield for most of their lives.
The larger war horses smelled the danger coming from the distance and felt the fear of Mother Earth who was fooling them.
"Choose a full-scale assault now? Is it a helpless move or does it have other motives?"
As soon as the lieutenant beside Ke Zui felt the uneasy feeling coming from his beloved horse, he jumped off his horse and put his ear to the ground, listening carefully to the sound transmitted by Mother Earth, and analyzing the meaning behind the sound.
After receiving the report from the deputy general, an image emerged in Ke Zui's mind, and in this image was a scene of enemies rushing over in overwhelming numbers, a scene he had hoped to see more than once in his dreams.
But now when this picture emerged in his mind again, Ke Zui found that he was not as excited as he imagined - not because of boring emotions such as loneliness, but because he felt timid again.
emotions.
Afraid of any omissions in his plan, afraid of some trap by the Bingzhou Army that he failed to discover in time...
After several consecutive failures, this middle-aged man who was once called a wise man among the Xianbei people felt too much pressure.
"You don't need to think too much, just follow the previous plan."
Although Mika and Ke had chosen different political paths, they were still willing to give their backs to each other on the battlefield. They were still able to support each other when facing the same enemy, just like they had in the past.
Those days when He Lian was almost carefree and devoted to pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts. Perhaps only old friends like Mika can calm the uneasiness and confusion in Ke Zui's heart, even if both of them know clearly that one day in the future
What kind of fight will break out between the two?
With a slight sigh of relief, Ke Zui cleared away the confusion in his heart, and then showed a confident smile again.
"According to the previous plan, as long as enough enemies are killed, no matter what plan they have, it will be in vain."
"That's right, with absolute strength, all strategies are in vain. This is the Ke Zui I am familiar with!"
After saying that, Mijia left. After all, as a frontier official within Xianbei, Mijia needed to command a considerable number of troops. Just now, because the war did not start, he could naturally relax a little, but now that he has judged the opponent's entire army
Attacking, then being so relaxed would be a very irresponsible attitude for both the enemy and oneself.
However, the Xianbei people obviously underestimated Li Shushi's extraordinary abilities. No, maybe they were already used to it...
"Don't hesitate and keep your distance. There are few of them but there are many of us. Don't be afraid."
Ke Zui had no choice but to shout the order loudly and at the same time ask the messenger around him to blow the horn in his hand so that the whole army could hear his intention.
There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, no matter who sees what they originally thought was a large army turned into a chariot fleet with only about 20,000 people, they will feel like being punched in the cotton. It will even soon make the Xianbei people vomit blood.
Something happened before their eyes - the mounted archery that the Xianbei people were proud of was suppressed in front of these chariots!
And this was the first thing Li Shushi thought of when he learned about the tactics used by the Xianbei people in the Western Regions from Le Mi - multi-purpose Xiliang cavalry, or to be more precise, multi-purpose chariot troops.
A light chariot powered by two horses is generally approved to carry three people, including the charioteer as the driver, one for close combat, and one for long-range combat, a total of two members.
Although the chariot sent by Li Shushi this time had one more person than usual, which somewhat affected the speed of the chariot, in order to maintain the shooting distance, the Xianbei cavalry could only slightly accommodate the speed of the chariot, because it was difficult for them to treat infantry like infantry.
It would also be difficult to torture these chariots to death with endurance by dashing forward to gain some distance, then turning back to shoot arrows and then regaining distance again.
If you choose the former, the sprint speed of the chariot is not slow, and it is easy to close the distance between the two sides, so that even the worst archer with the Xiliang Cavalry profession can kill the enemy. And if you adopt the latter method...
Sorry, the chariot unit is completely a mobile fortress!
The charioteers and melee personnel held shields, the long-range personnel remained unchanged, and the fourth person was placed in the center. Soon a circular formation based on chariots was completed. At the same time, the Xianbei people soon discovered the mysterious fourth person arranged by Li Shushi.
What kind of existence are they? A group of witch doctors who mainly have healing abilities and a small number of shamans who are good at healing.
As a result, the circle formation completely transformed into a hedgehog-like existence in a short period of time.
And the most critical problem is that it is difficult for the Xianbei people to make up their mind to surround these vehicle formations, because there are still a large number of new coalition forces on the edge of the battlefield that have not taken action and can rush to this side for reinforcements at any time.
The chariots of the Flying Bear Army, the chariots of the Bingzhou Army, and the chariots from Wusun and Guishang. Li Shushi used the Xiliang Cavalry, the strongest physical profession of the Han Dynasty, invented by the famous ancestors of the Han Dynasty, which posed a big problem for the Xianbei people.
