83. Sure enough, after a few waves of mobs, it’s time for the boss to appear
Although the Bingzhou Army on the eastern front relied on the input of civilian troops to finally break through the enemy's stranglehold, forcing the Tuqi Corps to retreat in large strides, this offensive did not last long, and the Tuqi Corps relied on reinforcements and temporary
The second line of defense established will once again block the Bingzhou Army.
In addition to changes in distance, the offensive and defensive momentum between the two sides has changed again.
For the Bingzhou Army, this was something they expected.
"The enemy's behavior...is a bit strange."
After watching the two sides once again engaged in a tug-of-war, Li Shushi couldn't help but frown.
"The enemy is showing great tenacity. Why does my lord feel strange?"
The person who asked this question was not the counselor next to Li Shushi, but Chen Dao who looked a little confused because of Li Shushi's words behind her. Although there was no such thing as a dull hair on her head, she expressed her emotions through various body languages.
However, her face, which is not difficult to guess, still makes it easy for people to understand what she is thinking at the moment.
As for the counselors beside Li Shushi, they all seemed to be thinking about something at this moment, or maybe Li Shushi's question was also an unsolved doubt for them, or maybe they were thinking in a different direction from Li Shushi.
After all, they are one of the smartest people in this era. It is normal that their thinking circuits are not in the same dimension as Li Shu.
"In my opinion, there are at least two problems," Li Shushi held out two fingers. "The first one is from the beginning of the war to now, no, it should be said from the time when these puppets first appeared.
, there has never been a civilian army. For us, the civilian army may be a more luxurious unit, but for our enemies, even if they use powerful military
The team is famous all over the world, and they are considered barbarians for their fierce fighting. They don't seem to be good at using their brains. But after all, it is a accumulation of more than a hundred years, and it was once a prosperous and huge country. How could there really be no outstanding people?
Do civilian officials and corresponding troops exist? Or are those commanders really just a group of out-and-out warriors? This is really suspicious."
"Second," Li Shushi retracted one finger, leaving only his index finger. "If it is incredible that there is no civilian army, then until now, there has not been a senior member of this brutal army.
The commander holding down the formation on the front line, or at least sending a strong general who can rush into the formation, can be said to be trying to cover up the truth."
Yes, the latter point is what really makes Li Shushi suspicious.
If a country known as barbarians does not have a strong enough civilian army, it may not be a surprising problem to some unknown people, but if this country does not even have a strong general who can fight
If not, it would be really unbelievable. It would be as if one day I hope that the country will not export dishes, Ah San will not cheat, and the chickens will not die, and the people of the mythical country will suddenly become as hard-working as Hans Cat.
It feels like the end of the world is coming.
But so far, the Bingzhou Army has been fighting against the Tudou Corps for such a long time, and there have been nearly a hundred battles, large and small, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that no matter which battle, let alone those who have been hidden behind the scenes.
The commander, even the decent general, did not appear on the battlefield.
Why do Li Shushi and the Bingzhou Army think so?
Speaking of the physical fitness of the earth puppets, not to mention warriors of Xiaoqiang's level, even if it is Cao Xing, Qianzhao's martial arts cannot be said to be outstanding. But he can be regarded as a skilled general, and he can compete with Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Guan Yu.
Such generals who are known for their strength compete against each other, not to mention the middle-level officers of the Bingzhou Army.
Li Shushi can even assert that as long as the Tudou Corps is willing, just three or five fierce generals can defeat any attack by the Bingzhou Army. Even if there are people like Xiaoqiang and Zilongjiang to suppress the battle, as long as the martial arts are not too different.
Many. It happened that Zilongjiang used his skills to beat Dian Wei, and Zhang Xiu used his skills to make Dian Wei dizzy. The Bingzhou army still couldn't stop the attack of the Dopples.
It should be noted that even if these puppets are only commanded by mid-level officers, their ability to execute orders is still terrifying. They are almost the most perfect warriors. They are also almost the most perfect war machines, so as long as they can limit the strength of the Bingzhou Army, the battle
The victory can be said to be within the grasp of this combat corps.
But the earth puppets have always maintained this fighting method. Even though there are many brave soldiers among the ordinary earth puppets, those ordinary soldiers are obviously unable to resist the targeted attack and strangulation of Tiger Talisman.
"Tell Zijing not to rush too far forward and be careful if the enemy has other plans."
Neither the civilian troops nor the local fierce generals appeared, but it does not mean that the Bingzhou Army has given up its vigilance against these two unstable factors that could threaten the Bingzhou Army. Even because these methods have not appeared for a long time, on the contrary
The commanders of the Bingzhou Army became increasingly cautious.
Isn’t there a saying that goes like this: A dog that bites doesn’t bark.
The battle situation has become stalemate again, and the news coming from the north and west is also not optimistic - they indeed took advantage of the favorable opportunity when the enemy concentrated their main energy on the east side to suddenly strengthen their offensive and push the front forward.
There were few, but the situation was no different from the situation on the Eastern Front. The enemy seemed to have been prepared, so although it was a bit hasty but still considered a solid second line of defense, it stopped and had to start a new tug-of-war with the enemy.
.
Obviously, the commander of the Tudou Corps has a calm and accurate judgment on the development of the battle situation. On the surface, it seems that he is using refueling tactics to make his own soldiers die continuously, but in fact, he uses this precious time to build a second line of defense in the rear, so that
Although the Bingzhou Army achieved certain results, they were unable to expand their results, leaving both sides still maintaining a delicate balance.
If the entire battle ends here, then the Tudou Corps that contained the Bingzhou Army's long-prepared large-scale raid will undoubtedly be the winner of the war, not only because they did not lose too much, but more importantly, not only did they not play their cards
came out, and successfully kept the secret that he wanted to hide, while also laying the groundwork for a possible counterattack in the future.
After all, it is not easy for the Bingzhou Army who came out of their own tortoise shell to put on a tortoise shell for themselves again. The Tudou Corps, which has at least learned a lesson once and has experience in dealing with tortoise shells, will definitely not let them
How comfortable the enemy is.
"Lord, how about asking Zijing to increase the firepower output of the civilian troops first, and at the same time prepare the second echelon for a shift change?"
"Hmm... It seems a little early to change the troops at this time. Or Zhongde, do you have any ideas?"
"It is not a good choice for our army to storm the enemy's prepared fortress like this. Then by showing weakness appropriately and exposing some flaws, we may be able to lure the enemy out of their fortifications. But even if it doesn't succeed.
There is nothing wrong with letting the soldiers take a break and restore their condition and physical strength."
"Then the action is approved, but don't let it get away with you."
This is what Li Shushi said, and he also expressed his worries with actions - in order to ensure that if the enemy really launched a counterattack, the troops would not be unable to react immediately, Li Shushi transferred half of the personal guards around him to Xu Chu
Turning to civilian troops, civilian troops are not only more valuable but also more fragile than the troops commanded by generals.
Also assigned to the civilian army was Nero-chan, who looked eager to try. Unfortunately, even though Chen Dao was very willing to fight, Li Shushi still didn't dare to put her in such a dangerous place, at least unlike Nero.
Lu Jiang, even if she really encounters any danger, Li Shushi can recall her through the mp crystal on his arm.
Maybe you can catch the enemy off guard.
Although the changes in the Bingzhou Army were not obvious yet, they only slightly reduced the offensive intensity of the front-line soldiers, and at the same time caused the civilian troops who were originally standing some distance from the front line to move forward a certain distance, but the reaction of the Tuppu Corps was still very rapid.
It seemed that all the frontline commanders of the Doppler Corps had synchronized ideas at the same time. Under the orders of these middle-level officers, the Doppler soldiers changed their previous defensive combat style and began to become more offensive. Especially when they took the initiative
He jumped out of his previous defensive position, followed the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who were preparing to retreat, and tightly entangled the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army.
If such a change in the battle situation a moment ago would have excited the generals of the Bingzhou Army, then now they are hesitant. Should they continue to execute the previous orders, or ignore the previous orders?
In fact, if it hadn't been for the order from above to withdraw and change shifts, these people might not have noticed that they had been fighting at a high intensity for such a long time. Even though they can still maintain a very high fighting spirit and combat effectiveness, their physical strength
The consumption on them is undoubtedly reaching a level that requires vigilance. This means that they may be able to continue to support it for a while, but with the enemy's continuous replenishment, it is obviously impossible for them to be more adaptable to such a situation than those earth puppets with unlimited physical strength.
War of attrition.
Advance. Such a fierce battle can only accelerate the consumption of physical strength; retreat, it seems that the puppets will not easily give them a chance.
so……
"Haha, you bastard, you are finally willing to get out of the dog hole. Since you are so anxious to die, then I, Lu Fengxian, will help you!"
An extremely arrogant voice suddenly came from the battlefield, and the laughter that followed seemed as if no one was taken seriously by the owner of the voice. Although hearing this kind of arrogant feeling in the ears always makes people uncomfortable.
It's so comfortable, but when the owner of this voice is your comrade Pao Ze, you feel inexplicably at ease.
Accompanied by Xiaoqiang's arrogant laughter, he was riding a flaming red rabbit horse and instantly tore all the earth puppets around him into pieces.
What orders and strategies were all thrown aside by this beast on the battlefield at this moment, because his battlefield intuition told him that instead of following orders, launching a counterattack would be the most appropriate choice at this time, and he followed his instructions.
Act intuitively.
As for the ordinary soldiers, they don't know what orders their generals have received. The only thing they have to do is pay attention to the actions of their generals, and then kill or be killed by the enemies around them.
Xiaoqiang's counterattack may have been just a partial counterattack for the entire front, but under his leadership, the other generals also ignored the orders from the Chinese army behind them and followed the ferocious beast, fearing that their own actions would
Not fast enough and falling behind others.
Soon, the entire front line, led by Xiaoqiang, turned into a charge formation with arrows and a triangle, although the angle was a bit blunt and not symmetrical enough.
The puppets looked clearly caught off guard.
According to the order, in order to prevent the Bingzhou Army from retreating easily, they chose close combat. Although the personal strength of the local soldiers was greatly weakened by such weather and the attack of the Bingzhou Army's civilian troops, they could still
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and most of them can still have the upper hand in a duel with the Bingzhou Army.
But this also means that they have lost the most important group advantage, so that when the off-season of the Bingzhou Army comes, these puppet soldiers are like isolated islands. No matter how they obey the orders, it is difficult for them to do so.
Implement it immediately.
At this time, the relationship between the Bingzhou Army and the Tudou Corps seemed to have been reversed during the counterattack led by Xiaoqiang.
And it was precisely this swap that caused Tudou's frontline commander to find that the number of soldiers under his command was rapidly decreasing.
The frontline commanders of the Tuppu Corps tried to save the situation, but because they had already been targeted by the generals of the Bingzhou Army who launched a counterattack, it was unknown whether they could even survive, let alone regroup.
Perhaps even if the individual combat power is weakened, the Dolls can still defeat the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army in a one-on-one battle. At the same time, if the battle is carried out in the mode of a large corps, the Doll Corps will also be like a hedgehog, leaving the Bingzhou Army with nowhere to attack.
, but every time the complete military formation of the local puppets was broken, it was the Bingzhou Army who had the upper hand.
This is not the first time this situation has occurred. In fact, the commanders of the Doppler Corps have already noticed this situation.
After analysis, they came to the conclusion that if the Tuqi Corps has a greater advantage in large-scale combat, then compared with the Tuqi Corps, the cooperation between small-scale and small-scale soldiers, especially the twenty
It can be said that a small group of no more than five people, or more than five people, has the strength to surpass the Dopple Corps.
Even if the individual combat power of the Tudou soldiers is outstanding enough, in such small-scale battles, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army not only always allow them to have a local numerical advantage, but also their tacit cooperation with each other allows them to always exert their full potential.
The effect of 1+1>3. This is also an important reason why the Bingzhou Army can take advantage of the battlefield every time it disrupts the formation of the Tudou Corps.
In fact, this has a lot to do with Li Shushi's battle experience with the Bingzhou Army.
Aside from the Yellow Turban riot, Li Shushi's enemies were either local militia groups or the loosely organized Yellow Turban Army. Except for a small number of elite troops under Li Shushi, most of the soldiers who were also from the Yellow Turban Army were completely nonsense if they said they had received any systematic training.
Dan, they are just a group of troops who have mastered the basic tactical commands. Under the guidance of excellent generals and the use of various strategies, they can fight without losing their chain when fighting with favorable conditions.
The most typical example is that when they were in Yanzhou, they were able to achieve very good results against the unprepared county soldiers, but when faced with the powerful Wubao who resisted desperately, such as the Lijiawu Fort where Li Dian was located, they were completely unable to defeat them.
Even if we win, the price we have to pay is absolutely unacceptable.
At first glance, those forts that were originally considered "risk fortresses" no longer pose much of a threat to the elites of the current Bingzhou Army. Even without the cheating device of Li Shushi's golden cupping cannon, those elite troops want to take it.
It doesn't take much battle damage to get down those forts.
Even if we engage in special operations or something like that, the price we pay will be even lower.
In fact, the real transformation of the Bingzhou Army started in Xihe.
Because the initial Bingzhou Army lacked the strength to expand externally, it could only rely on city fortifications to protect itself. On the not-so-wide city wall, how to effectively use troops to deal a greater blow to the enemy has always been the main research topic of the Bingzhou Army at that time.
On this issue, Gao Shun, Qu Yi, and later Wang Yue can be said to have taken the greatest credit.
Even though the Bingzhou Army gradually gained the strength to fight back later, for those grassland peoples, compared with the time-consuming, laborious and ineffective fighting method of large corps, the harassment and counter-attack of small-scale troops were the main battles of the Bingzhou Army at that time.
model.
It is precisely because of these two stages that the Bingzhou Army has gone through that, in addition to the training of individual combat effectiveness, the most important thing for the Bingzhou Army is the cooperation between ten people, twenty or thirty people, or even one or two teams (one officer).
It ensures that even if the team loses its formation in the battle with the grassland peoples, it can still maintain its local advantage and turn small victories into big ones.
Not to mention that the Bingzhou Army also has a commander who has been educated by various revolutionary movies since he was a child. Even though the tactics of the hot and cold weapon era have been quite different, the troops carrying bayonet rifles and attacking the surrounding areas still have an influence.
he.
Of course, Li Shushi is still just looking for ideas here. As for whether these ideas will be implemented in the end, or whether they will mutate during the implementation, Li Shushi does not care at all. After all, professional matters are left to professionals.
People do it, which is also a major reason why Li Shushi and the Bingzhou Army were able to grow to the current scale.
(Cheng Yu: Please allow me to shed another bitter tear!)
Therefore, the Tupu regiment that had previously chosen to fight in close combat with the Bingzhou Army had certainly blocked the Bingzhou Army's rotation plan, but when Xiaoqiang suddenly decided to counterattack and caught the enemy by surprise, those who had given up their own group advantages and defensive fortifications
If the superior locals want to ask the Bingzhou Army to withdraw and reorganize, it will also become an impossible task.
"It seems that Xiaoqiang's disobedience this time may allow us to push forward a little further." Li Shushi, who watched the development of the situation throughout the process, was not angry because of Xiaoqiang's disobedience, but showed an appreciative smile.
After all, only he knows best how abnormal Xiaoqiang's sense of smell on the battlefield is when his commander's potential is as high as 100.
However, just as the smile appeared on Li Shushi's face, he heard a loud noise coming from the distance.
"Thieves, suffer death!"
——That was the sound of scraping glass with a blade that was familiar but unfamiliar to Li Shushi. (To be continued...)
