49. The feeling of going up and down – this really isn’t an elevator
Slightly decelerating from the high speed, and then drawing a perfect semicircle to the right. The white horse followers who rushed at the front shot the feather arrows in their hands in a perfect parabola into Yuan Shao's army formation on the opposite side, which was still a considerable distance away.
The nostalgic departure left the back to the tangled enemy on the opposite side and opened a path for the troops behind to advance. The whole movement was smooth and flowing without any feeling of sluggishness.
And this is not the end. Both the remaining white horse Yi Cong and the assault cavalry from Karasuma used the same method to shoot arrows in their hands at Yuan Shaojun's military formation. From time to time, Yuan Shaojun's soldiers were attacked by these cavalrymen who were good at riding.
The arrows shot by archers hit the target, especially those recruits who were not very experienced in the battlefield, and became the hardest hit area of battle damage.
Faced with this situation, Shang Yu seemed extremely confused.
The enemy's move was really beyond his expectation - although the enemy did not use a cone charge or a wall charge, they used a long snake formation or a vertical formation to lengthen the queue.
The one-line formation makes the number of arrows in each wave not very dense, but because the archers who shoot the arrows are all troops who are good at riding and shooting, the seemingly sparse arrow rain has a good attack effect.
If it is once or twice, it is not a big pain for those veterans. After all, many of them have suffered more serious injuries in the battle against the Qiang people, but every wave of continuous rain of arrows
With such high water standards, it is easy for people to hallucinate and even cause mental breakdown.
After all, if the new recruits feel panic because of their inexperience, then for most veterans, this kind of hallucination will remind them of many bad experiences. For this soldier who has no psychology and no post-war stress trauma intervention,
In ancient society, the seeds of mental illness had already been sown.
Not to mention that the outstanding fighting group in front of them seems to have a telepathic understanding, and they will always be stuck at a very subtle distance - it can not only allow the bows and arrows in their hands to display good combat power, but it is not the maximum damage of the enemy's crossbows.
Within the range, if the enemy chooses to use the crossbows in their hands to fight back, they can also formulate countermeasures based on the enemy's counterattack. Anyway, the long vertical formation ensures that Gongsun's army can exchange most of the cavalry at a relatively small cost.
of safety.
Should I choose to issue the order to attack now but allow most of the opponent's cavalry to escape, or should I hold back and possibly cause the troops to become loose and allow the enemy to find an opportunity?
Shang Yu weighed it repeatedly in his heart, because the fighting method of Gongsun Army was undoubtedly relatively unfamiliar to the people of Jizhou.
In the northwest, the main enemy they faced was the Qiang people. The main fighting method they learned was based on the Qiang people as their imaginary enemies.
Although the Qiang people are also a group of grassland people who are good at riding horses and archery. However, the factors inherent in the Qiang people's bloodline make them not like the fighting method of riding and archery, just like they would sing festive songs at the funerals of their tribesmen.
This kind of heroic spirit is born in their blood, and it is manifested on the battlefield by rushing towards the opponent with indomitable momentum. Either the opponent is completely crushed, or the side is completely scattered. In addition to victory and defeat,
There will be no third result.
Just like the martial arts skills of Hua Xiong and Cheng Yaojin who don't know if they will appear again, the three-blade ax can even be called the best in the world, but after that... Haha, you can only haha.
This really confirms the classic and famous saying, "A husband fights with courage. One burst of strength, then fade, and three times it will be exhausted." It's just that if Hua Xiong is not as extreme as Cheng Yaojin, the Qiang people will be gone.
Jingqi is also very difficult to deal with based on its own strength. It is difficult for ordinary county soldiers to be opponents even when facing the Qiang people whose momentum has been exhausted.
The Qiang people have such a temper. Han Sui and Bian Zhang always serve as their commanders and try to arm them with strategies, but they still cannot change the fighting style that has been ingrained in their blood. The Qiang people occasionally fake defeat or outflank them.
That's no problem, but on the frontal battlefield, the Qiang people still like to rush in and out - in fact, this kind of fighting method is very effective in most situations in the desert of the northwest. It is really difficult for troops to withstand such an attack.
So many.
Therefore, after becoming familiar with the Qiang people's fighting style, both Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song adopted various targeted arrangements and asked the soldiers to engrave this arrangement on their bodies and become a warrior.
He had an almost instinctive fighting quality, and only in this way could he withstand the galloping and crushing force of the menacing Qiang cavalry.
The performance of the Jizhou soldiers in the later stages of the Han-Qiang War was remarkable, because they were already familiar with the various methods of their enemies, and at the same time, they themselves continued to grow in the battle. But this does not mean that they are invincible.
It also does not mean that they can react immediately when faced with other combat methods. After all, they are just ordinary soldiers, and Shang Yu is definitely not a famous general with unparalleled experience. He is unable to make
Those arrangements can be called unconstrained.
In addition to the Qiang people, the only opponents that the Jizhou soldiers had faced were the former Yellow Turban Army and the recently separated Dong Zhuo Army. The former naturally did not have richer means due to the limitations of their own profession, while the latter did not have more abundant means because of Dong Zhuo.
Apart from being more flexible than the Qiang people in their fighting style, there is not much difference in their indomitable momentum.
It is precisely because of Dong Zhuo's fighting style that the Jizhou soldiers did not have the opportunity to see the fighting style of the assault cavalry from Youzhou, which is quite rare among the Han army - after all, they faced a cavalry regiment that was no less fast than their own.
Hunters who charge and dare to fly kites obviously have IQs of 213.
So when I saw this kind of combat method that originally only appeared in legends, not to mention that Shang Yu was caught in a tangle at this time. Others, such as Chang Kai and Yan Ming, had a lot of resentment towards Shang Yu for being the former military commander.
The generals were also a little at a loss - there were many hot-tempered guys among them who wanted to issue counterattack orders, but this idea was quickly rejected by their colleagues around them.
The companion stopped him. After all, if the current situation remains like this, all the responsibility will be on Shang Yu. They were just following orders, and they will naturally have no merits after the war. But if he yelled out because of his voice, Sheng Yu would
Because skipping a higher-level command may not be considered a credit, and failure would be a heinous crime. In fact, most of the blame for Shang Yu was placed on himself.
This business is not cost-effective. You can understand it if you think about it for a moment.
Because of Baima Yicong's sudden and unfamiliar tactics, Yuan Shao's bold idea of recruiting young generals to lead the front army exposed a huge flaw - although this approach will make the enemy a little slack in thinking, but in the face of unexpected situations
Although a steady young general can avoid unnecessary losses, because he is young, he cannot have enough prestige to implement his ideas thoroughly. This will cause the entire army to have inconsistent orders.
Although the situation at hand is not the worst, seeing that our losses are gradually increasing, many soldiers are already showing signs of instability, not to mention that the recruits with the most unstable morale are showing signs of imminent collapse.
Now is the moment when Shang Yu needs to make a decision.
After all, no matter how stupid you are, you still know that if this situation continues, the former army will definitely cause huge chaos due to the collapse of the new recruits. Then the white horse Yi Cong who was originally circling on the opposite side will immediately switch modes and rush over, but by that time
It is really unpredictable how effective the powerful bows and crossbows prepared for those people will be.
So how should Shang Yu choose?
In fact, it's not that he doesn't have some ideas of his own in his mind, such as making the recruits really commotion or even chaos to lure the enemy to charge. Then the original plan can be implemented. But how can he do it with this little guy who can't even convince his lieutenant?
What about suppressing former soldiers who are bound to have chaos due to the collapse of new recruits?
Although everyone likes to see this kind of thing, but the premise is that it must not happen to you.
"General, why haven't you given the order? If you continue like this, I'm afraid our army will be in great danger."
Suddenly, a slightly aged voice appeared behind Shang Yu, which made Shang Yu, who was thinking, feel his whole body tremble, because he clearly felt the murderous and bloody atmosphere hidden in the reproachful voice in the words.
This is a very scary guy. If he is not a battle-hardened veteran, he is a veteran with stories.
Shang Yu did not look back. He felt that he did not need to look back, because if the other party was really an enemy, then he had no confidence that he would be instantly killed by the other party the moment he turned around. If the other party was a friendly force, then he would have to turn back
It wouldn't make much sense if he didn't look back. Anyway, after the war, he would have plenty of time to go find this person and ask questions.
If both he and the mysterious figure behind him can survive this war.
"The Lord's order is to keep as many enemy cavalry units here as possible, but judging from the current situation, it will be very difficult to accomplish this. However, I had an idea in my mind, but I did not implement it.
ability.”
Probably because of the irritability in his heart, or because there was probably a knowledgeable veteran behind him, Shang Yu expressed his thoughts. After all, at this critical moment, if there is a reliable person who can help,
, so it will undoubtedly be a huge help to him, a rookie commander who is just starting out.
After all, a veteran can't take too much credit even if he doesn't think so - although he doesn't think so, he weighs it like this subconsciously.
Of course, the reason why he thought the opponent was a veteran rather than a veteran was because Shang Yu knew very well that the generals Yuan Shao arranged here were all young men promoted from the Jizhou soldiers who had returned from the northwest. In order to seduce Gongsun Zan, even the slightly more famous generals
Yuan Shao was placed in the rear or on the flanks, so it was impossible for those battlefield veterans to appear here.
"Then tell me about your plan and see if I can help you." The veteran followed Shang Yu's idea.
"...This is my plan and my worry. It's my first time to command so many troops, and as your opponent has seen, Gongsun Fan is indeed Gongsun Zan's right-hand man. I want to complete the mission given to me by Master Gong.
, but I can’t let my lord’s hard work and the troops he relies on to conquer the world be ruined here.”
"It's a very good plan. My lord did not misjudge you. You are a promising little guy. I am optimistic about your future. But you also know very well that you are no longer suitable to command this battle, so let me
Let me help you."
"...You are..." Hearing the words coming from behind, Shang Yu turned around in surprise. What caught his eye was a middle-aged man wearing an ordinary soldier's leather armor, an iron helmet, and a visor on his face.
The middle-aged man took off his visor slightly, then put it back again under Shang Yu's surprised face, and then stopped the name that was already rising in Shang Yu's throat with a gesture.
"Do what you want, and then call the guy you think you can't solve here, and I will solve it for you."
"yes!"
Although he just saw a familiar face, Shang Yu's whole person's spirit has undergone a huge change. From the previous time when he pretended to be calm, but his face could not hide the anxiety and entanglement, he now has a calm face.
and calmness.
The most important thing is that his face showed a smile brought by great confidence, as if the war had been won.
This self-confidence soon infected the surrounding subordinates, and the former military generals who saw his confident smile after being called also acquiesced to the other party's orders, even if they did not need the slightly mysterious veteran to take any action.
The order seemed a bit dangerous to them. But compared to the current state of confusion,
Many people were relieved to have an order that could be implemented. Not to mention that Shang Yu, who was also troubled, suddenly showed such a confident smile, making these people subconsciously think that the other party should have gotten something.
Support, so I have such confidence when issuing orders.
Shang Yu did receive some kind of support. But it was somewhat different from what the generals thought. However, in the situation in front of him, this inadvertent misunderstanding was a beautiful misunderstanding, and it was a misunderstanding about Yuan Jun's situation.
A beneficial misunderstanding.
"General, there seems to be chaos in the enemy's front army. It seems that many soldiers have dropped their weapons. Although they were quickly killed by the supervising team, there were still some fluctuations, and these fluctuations tended to expand.
In addition, the opponent began to fight back with bows and arrows. Although our army has not suffered any battle losses, dozens of brothers have been seriously injured and are in dangerous condition."
"Very good, young people are young people, and now we can't bear it anymore. Then we will work harder, and tell Yan Gang to keep an eye on the enemy's movements, and Gongsun Ke. He should prepare to charge.
.This time I will dedicate Yuan Shao’s head to the general!”
Gongsun Fan asked the messenger to pass on his order, then turned his horse around and shouted excitedly to his subordinate Erlang:
"The enemy has fallen into panic, and victory is ahead. As long as we defeat them, the rich Jizhou will completely open its arms to us. Many people have enjoyed it before. If you feel unsatisfied, just rush over and defeat them.
Enemies, you will naturally be able to get what you want. If you haven't enjoyed it yet, then rush through
Defeat the enemy, and you will enjoy the taste of victory. Think about your parents, brothers, sisters, and wives who can benefit from your courageous fighting. Think about the feeling of being watched by the adoring eyes of your relatives. If
Whoever can obtain Yuan Shao's head will not only be promoted to the third level, but also be granted the title of a thousand households and a bounty of tens of thousands of gold!!!"
"Oh!!!" Apparently the excitement of huge rewards and a bright future made these soldiers full of fighting spirit.
Seeing this group of men whose fighting spirit was once again boosted, the confident smile on Gongsun Fan's face became even more dazzling.
In fact, Gongsun Fan was on guard against Yuan Shaojun's crossbowmen from the very beginning of the charge, because before the war began, Gongsun Zan, the most powerful regiment of Yuan Shaojun, had collected intelligence from many sources, not to mention that there were people who had fought alongside him before.
The experience of fighting made the generals of Gongsun Army very clear that if they rush into the opponent's prepared military formation like a stupid young man, it is undoubtedly an act of seeking death. They are not "single-celled" Qiang people, but
Smart Han people.
Each generation of the Gongsun family in western Liaoning from the border areas will have many clansmen serving in the border army, and many clansmen will enter the capital due to merit, and have the opportunity to come into contact with those strong bows and crossbows. Naturally, they will be interested in the power of those strong bows and crossbows.
The range data is well known.
With this foundation, supplemented by outstanding horse control skills and riding shooting skills, Gongsun Fan continued to put pressure on the enemy while testing the enemy. He who was once young knew very well that a young general was here.
What difficulties would you face in this situation?
Under such huge pressure, the enemy finally began to fight back. However, when the morale was suppressed to a very low level, it can only be said that the opponent made a decision too late. Although the enemy's counterattack
The battle damage to Baima Yicong is gradually being caused, but Gongsun Fan believes that as long as a certain amount of pressure is given to the enemy, the enemy may even collapse without a fight.
Then, before Yuan Shao could react, he coerced the rebellious troops and attacked Yuan Shao's army's center. What would be the outcome of the battle at that time, even simulating it in his mind made Gongsun Fan feel as if he were in heaven.
There are more and more deserters in Yuan Shao's army, and it takes longer and longer for the chaos to be suppressed. The originally compact formation has become more and more irregular - the fighter planes seem to be fleeting.
"Brothers! It's our turn to perform, but we can't let those horse archers dominate the front!"
Before Gongsun Fan could give the order to attack with all his strength, Gongsun Ke had already rushed out with his cavalry.
After all, although Gongsun Fan was superior to Gongsun Ke in terms of official position and relationship with Gongsun Zan, in this war specifically, the two were equal cavalry generals.
Because he was half a head taller than Gongsun Ke, but if Gongsun Ke really didn't listen to Gongsun Fan's words, there would be no problem at all in theory.
Therefore, Gongsun Zan, a tribesman who was also following the path of Gongsun Fan, could no longer restrain the desire in his heart to make achievements.
In Yuan Shao's front army formation in the distance, although the situation had begun to become chaotic, the confident smile on Shang Yu's face was still bright.
As for Yuan Shao, who was further away under the commander-in-chief's command, he felt the huge vibration of thousands of horses galloping from a distance, and Yuan Shao also showed a smile of victory on his face.
"Old Gongsun, it seems that I, Yuan Benchu, have the upper hand this time!"
ps: It’s a work weekend…
ps2: The person who recommended the book said, well, it’s definitely not me who is wrong, although we have accumulated a lot of negative energy. Please see the testimonials for details. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster !
ps: Crazy Lion Young Marshal, coach (main) + manager (minor), who writes about football, started with Millwall.
Well, we actually hate Millwall in real life, and the reason is entirely because of the Godfather of Championships. But speaking of this book alone, it is written very smoothly and has a lot of positive energy, at least in today's competitive arena where talent is dwindling. It's a masterpiece.
Rebirth of Go Dream, you can tell the content just by looking at the title. The author is an amateur and has some own ideas, so bias is unavoidable, but overall the writing is very interesting, and there are no bloody or disgusting subplots. At least it's to our liking.
Unifying Japanese entertainment, the author has a complete book v, so our halo is probably useless on him. Compared with the assembly line of Korean entertainment, Japanese entertainment... well, it seems that the concentration of perverts is not much better, we are I won’t say that we got into the trap just to see how the protagonist dealt with AKB’s huge crystal palace.
Therefore, the book Diary of Urayama Minoru and Hikaru has not been recommended before. I must recommend it today. If it has been recommended, I will recommend it again - it is not so much a fan of akb49 and 0048, but rather a chronicle of akb. The content is absolutely correct. Full of energy.
By the way, Urayama Hikaru, a good wife, won’t explain, although we prefer black cabbage.
I originally had the urge to recommend the last book, but after seeing it, I really couldn’t help but give it up. If God expands too much, it will become nonsense. Anyway, we feel that the author’s ideas are very good, but it seems that everyone feels that It feels too piecemeal to open up another battlefield without digging too deep. A certain Hokage's Uzumaki brother, please go and taste it yourself.
