Roars in different dialects burst out from the throat, and the Taiyuan Han army and the Wei Wu army finally collided on the battlefield.
To be fair, the fighting style of King Su's army was brave enough, but now seeing the fighting of Wei soldiers, the soldiers and generals of King Su's army suddenly realized that they were far less brave than this friendly army.
King Su's army was accustomed to "defeat first and then attack" on the battlefield, that is to say, they first used strong shields to block the first wave of enemy attacks, and then waved their sabers when the enemy soldiers were exhausted.
The Wei soldiers were different. They held shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands. They rushed directly into the Korean army's formation. In the first wave of offensive, they displayed the momentum of "advance, never retreat".
Chang Ge is deeply embedded in the enemy soldier's body and cannot be pulled out?
It doesn't matter, Wei soldiers still have swords.
The shield in his left hand was chopped into pieces by an enemy soldier?
It doesn't matter, Wei Wusu just had his left hand free to operate the hand crossbow behind his waist.
It has to be said that the fighting situation of Wei soldiers on the battlefield seemed a bit chaotic. They were not as uniform as King Su's army. However, their momentum was much stronger than that of King Su's army. They were like a pack of wolves, catching everyone in front of them.
The prey was just a bite, which destroyed the morale of the Korean army almost as soon as it started.
"This... is too messy."
Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling Army who had just arrived at the rear formation and came to the side of King Su Zhao Hongrun, said with a look of surprise when he saw the way Wei Wu soldiers fought on the battlefield.
At this moment, Yan Mo couldn't help but doubt General Shao Hu's ability in leadership.
It is said that this general is the Zongwei chief beside King Yu Zhao Yuandi. How come the trained soldiers are so disorderly on the battlefield?
However, after looking carefully for a while, Yan Mo discovered that Wei Wuzu's fighting style was chaotic, but they almost completely suppressed the Taiyuan Korean army on the opposite side. It was as if the Wei Wuzu had just come into contact at the moment when the two armies came into contact.
He had already used his own momentum to intimidate the Korean army on the opposite side.
In response, Yan Mo shook his head, smiled bitterly at Zhao Hongrun and said: "The general is blind and cannot understand General Shaohu's method of using troops..."
Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly.
As far as he knew, Shao Hu, as the chief of the clan guard of King Yu Zhao Yuan Ke, was greatly influenced by the latter. King Yu Zhao Yuan Ke was once known for his domineering and aggressive use of troops, so he was once called the "irritable King Yu".
King Yu's art of war emphasizes taking the lead, that is, overwhelming the opponent with momentum. As we all know, when two armies fight on the battlefield, the strength of momentum has almost the most direct reflection on the victory or defeat of the initial battle.
If your own army is intimidated by the enemy's momentum in the first battle, it will be a very disadvantageous thing.
Just like now, when the Taiyuan Han army saw groups of Wei soldiers with arrows on their bodies, roaring and rushing forward vigorously, the momentum of the Korean soldiers weakened a bit; and when they saw the Wei soldiers,
They used offense instead of defense. When the battle just started and they tried to fight for their lives, their momentum inevitably weakened.
Then, the Wei soldiers abandoned their swords, smashed their shields and raised their crossbows in a tough way of fighting, which weakened the momentum of the Korean army.
Coupled with the outstanding individual strength of the Wei soldiers, the momentum of the Korean soldiers plummeted in front of this Wei army.
It's no wonder, after all, the second generation of Wei Wu soldiers led by Shao Hu used half of the Zongwei Yulin Langzhong under the original Zongfu as their backbone, selected and promoted young men, and trained a strong army according to Zongwei's training methods.
, which makes Wei soldiers themselves more powerful than ordinary Wei infantry.
If King Su's army was built by Zhao Hongrun at no expense, then the second generation of Wei soldiers led by Shao Hu was built by Emperor Wei at no expense.
For example, the state of Wei invested a huge amount of money in order to obtain the three layers of armor of Wei Wu soldiers.
After all, in the Wei State, cattle were a very scarce and important resource. Therefore, the imperial court and local county governments had clear rules and regulations prohibiting the indiscriminate killing of cattle.
Even when the cattle are old and weak, the "district chief" still needs to report it to the local government and county government. The county government will send people to slaughter the cattle and return the meat to the village for the farmers in that district to share the food. As for the cowhide and beef tendon,
The other items were properly preserved and sent to the arsenal in Daliang at regular intervals. This was how the armor-making raw materials were obtained when Wei soldiers wore leather armor.
However, in recent years, as the Sixth Battalion of the garrison gradually replaced leather armor with iron armor, a lot of cowhide gradually accumulated in the warehouse in Daliang.
But despite this, when Shaohu formed the second generation of Wei soldiers, he still used up all the cowhide he had saved over the years. You can imagine how huge this consumption was.
It has to be said that even the defense of three layers of leather armor is comparable to the new iron armor developed by the Smelting Bureau today.
It turns out that Zhao Hongrun is not very interested in leather armor because he prefers iron armor. After all, iron armor will eventually evolve into steel armor in the future. How can leather armor be improved? Is it possible to upgrade from three layers of leather armor to thirty layers?
For this reason, after Zhao Hongrun took charge of the Smelting Bureau, the Smelting Bureau made rapid progress in the wrought iron armor casting process.
But now looking at its practicality on the battlefield, Zhao Hongrun suddenly felt that the leather armor was not as useless as he imagined. At least it was very useful to scare the enemy - look at the battlefield, those Korean soldiers had chests full of arrows.
Wei Wuzu, who was still full of vigor and vigor despite his arrows, looked frightened.
While Zhao Hongrun was secretly laughing, at this moment on the battlefield, Wei Wuzu gradually appeared to be in control of the entire battlefield.
Different from the dense combat formation of King Su's army, the fighting formation of Wei's soldiers was relatively spacious. Of course, this does not mean that Wei's soldiers fought alone. In fact, Wei's soldiers also cooperated with each other.
For example, Wei soldiers used to use one or two soldiers as a team, with one of the two captains as the team leader, pointing east to attack the east, pointing west to attack the west, and specifically attacking the stronger defenses of the Korean army.
a little.
This is very interesting.
After all, most military art teaches commanders to find weak points in the enemy's formation and strike hard at them, but Wei soldiers did the opposite and specifically attacked the stronger points in the Korean formation.
Maybe King Yu Zhao Yuan'ai had different ideas from ordinary people. In his art of war, as long as he defeated the enemy's strong point and further deterred the enemy, it actually didn't matter whether he defeated the other weakly defended points - the strongest
All the points have been conquered by the enemy, so why attack the weakest point?
Of course, this tactic cannot be adopted by all armies. After all, it requires that one's own army not only has a strong momentum, but also requires strong soldiers. Otherwise, victory will be given to the enemy in vain.
But the soldiers of Wei Wu on the battlefield now have the confidence in this regard.
This unique tactics unique to the Wei soldiers caused several highly defensive points in the Korean army's formation to be attacked by the Wei soldiers one after another.
During this period, the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty became more and more brave as they fought. In contrast, the Han army in Taiyuan was retreating steadily.
Looking at this scene, Han Jiang Lian Bu felt that the warrior's blood began to boil in his body.
Wei Wujun's performance reminded him of the battlefields of the Central Plains decades ago - at that time, he was just a child of a few years old, longing for those fierce generals who galloped on the battlefield and attacked and killed enemy generals alone.
At that time, the battlefields of the Central Plains did not have as many so-called tactics as today, so that before a big war, generals often gave only one order to their soldiers: All enemies in front of you, kill them all!
Therefore, the battlefield at that time was very chaotic, but it was also full of passion. Soldiers with outstanding personal martial arts were often able to stand out in such chaotic battlefields and behead generals and make meritorious deeds.
But later, with the popularity of crossbows, military strategy gradually became the most important factor affecting victory or defeat on the battlefield: when to dispatch crossbowmen, when to dispatch cavalry, and how to find weaknesses in the enemy's formation. These gradually became the first priority for commanders.
issues to consider.
It was from this period that the era of fierce generals gradually came to an end and evolved into disputes between military strategists and generals. At this time, if you want to become a general, the first consideration is not force, but military strategy.
Although Lian Pi was also familiar with the art of war, he did not like military strategists very much because he felt that military strategists had written various art of war.
Fighting becomes rigid and routine.
The Wei Wujun currently under the command of Shao Hu, with its bloody and head-on fighting style, gave Lian Piu the illusion that he was on the battlefield decades ago.
We are all enemies now, kill them all!
"Bring me my weapons."
Unable to hold back the warrior's blood boiling in his body, Lian Pi asked the guards for his weapon, got off the city wall, mounted his horse and ran towards the battlefield.
Seeing this, Lian Pi's guards had no choice but to follow closely.
Finally, the Wei military soldiers saw the terrifying personal strength of Taiyuan Shou Lian Pi'na who defeated their Wei general Jiang Bi. They saw Lian Piu himself leading dozens of cavalry into the battlefield, waving the wolf-toothed sword in his hand, and actually killed one of them.
The Wei soldiers who rushed towards him were struck from the shoulder bone to the chest.
"hiss--"
Seeing this, the nearby Wei soldiers' momentum froze and took a breath of cold air.
They were simply stunned.
You must know that their Wei warriors wore three layers of armor, two pieces of leather armor and one piece of inlaid armor. Their defensive power was only stronger than the single layer of iron armor of King Su's army.
But Lian Pi, the Korean general, was not good at it. He swung his sword and almost cut the Wei soldier in two. What kind of terrifying arm strength did he have to wield such a powerful sword?
But just for a moment, the nearby Wei warriors regained their momentum and launched an offensive towards Lian Pio: the Wei warriors who were closer were holding long swords and swords to kill Lian Pio, while those who were further away were attacking Lian Pio.
The Wei soldiers took off the hand crossbows hanging from their waists, aimed at the cheap barge and pulled the trigger.
"Dang Dang, Dang Dang."
Lian Piu repeatedly waved the wolf-tooth knife in his hand, and while dodging crossbow arrows, he forced back the Wei soldiers who were rushing forward. He even counterattacked and killed two of them, which greatly inspired him.
It improved the morale of the nearby Korean troops.
"General, please hold your shield."
Lian Pi's guard rode after him and handed Lian Pi a shield.
Lian Pi was a little reluctant, but considering Wei Nu's threat to him, he still took the shield - the crossbow was always a hurdle that a fierce general who charged into battle could not overcome. In the past, he thought he was brave but died due to this kind of weapon.
There are countless fierce generals on the battlefield.
"The whole army obeys the order, follow closely behind this general, and kill him!"
Holding the shield in his left hand, Lian Piu raised the mace sword in his right hand high, and then pointed the tip of the sword at the Wei soldiers in the melee ahead.
"Whoa whoa--!"
The morale of the Korean soldiers in nearby Taiyuan was greatly boosted.
Almost at this moment, General Shao Hu, who was commanding the battle on the battlefield, instinctively felt that the momentum of the Korean army in Taiyuan directly ahead had changed dramatically.
It has to be said that the Taiyuan Army with Lian Pi fighting and the Taiyuan Army without Lian Pi are like two completely different armies.
