Everyone has a desire to survive, but Qu Yi is such a lunatic who is determined to die.
From a small soldier to a senior officer of the Xiliang Army, Qu Yi fought in hundreds of battles. He concluded that there is only one thing: on the battlefield, the more you fear death, the more likely you are to die!
The less afraid of death you are, the less likely you are to die. On the battlefield, you simply give up defense and just kill people like crazy, until every part of your body is soaked with blood. When the enemy sees you, they will be scared out of their wits and won't even dare to approach you. Naturally, they won't die.
Got it!
Later, the soldiers led by Qu Yi became more and more like him. Once they went into battle, their eyes would be blood-red, and there would be nothing but killing in their eyes. If you slash me with one slash, I will slash with my slash. Whoever hides first will die!
Often, the last ones to survive are his subordinates. This army is the most ferocious among the Xiliang army. However, there are only a few such lunatics, and Qu Yi has never had many people under his command.
Of course, this is related to the fact that he is leading infantry.
At this moment, on the battlefield, Qu Yi led his three thousand men, who were wearing light armor, carrying long knives on their waists, and holding bows and arrows in their hands. They stood behind the infantry led by Zhang He and waited for the opportunity.
The soldiers who climbed to the death first did not use crossbows, but bows, heavy bows.
After all, the world is different. Each of these elites has great strength. There is no need to use crossbows to increase their lethality. Instead, heavy bows are more suitable, with faster firing speed and higher killing efficiency.
"Dong dong dong dong..." the sound of drums resounded throughout the battlefield. With Gongsun Zan's order, the army began to advance at a constant speed, and the moment the soldiers on both sides began to join the formation, the white horse Yi Cong of the Chinese army shouted at Gongsun Zan.
Under the leadership of Yan Gang, they rushed like lightning.
Staring at the white clouds, the speed of the white horse Yi Cong was too fast. From a thousand meters away, he accelerated and rushed forward. Before joining the formation, he controlled the horse with both legs. The bowstring in his hand was continuously pulled, and arrows rained down towards Zhang He Gao Gan like an overwhelming rain.
The infantry led by him covered the past.
With Yan Gang's control, the arrows shot out were all accompanied by a faint cloud, which was used to offset the cloud of Yuan Shao's infantry. Otherwise, the rain of arrows would not cause any harm.
"Puff", "Puff", "Puff", "Puff", the sound of arrow clusters piercing flesh resounded.
"Ah", "ah", "ah", "ah", the screams after being injured continued one after another.
Before the Chinese army could engage in battle, Yuan Shao's army's morale plummeted, and the military formation began to faintly shake.
Not everyone has the heart to return home as a dead soldier!
Looking at the white-horse Yi Cong rushing towards him like a landslide and a tsunami, the soldiers in the front row of Yuan Shaojun's formation were shattered. This momentum was simply unstoppable!
A cavalry charging at this speed does not need to be hit head-on. Even if it is just scratched from the side, it will definitely die. When the tens of thousands of horses behind them step down, not even a slightly larger bone will be left, only a piece of flesh and blood mixed with soil.
in it.
Death may not be so scary. If you go down with a knife and your head flies off, you don't even have time to be afraid. What is really scary is the period before death.
Seeing the torrent of death sweeping towards him, he standing at the front will definitely die immediately, and everyone will be trampled into a piece of flesh, but as long as he turns around and runs, yes, run, you don’t have to go far, you just need to avoid the front, the last
With this violent charge, there is a certain chance of survival!
At such a moment, what kind of person can stand still and face this inevitable fate?
Did the soldiers in ancient times really have such a consciousness when they couldn't even get enough to eat and had no social status at all?
They are not members of the People's Liberation Army or the Communist Party, and they do not have the belief that they would be willing to accept death in the face of severe torture.
Maybe there are times when you have to defend your hometown in the face of foreign invasion, but this is a civil war!
Before Baima Yi could rush forward, the soldiers in front of Yuan Shao's army collapsed. The soldiers were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and ran back. The smarter ones just used their weapons to push away the crowd and run back.
My question is, if the ones in front of you run away, then won’t I become the one in front facing death?
One person runs, one team runs, one team runs, all of them run.
This is how chaos spread little by little from the front row. This is also a manifestation of the power of ancient cavalry. The cavalry is a major killer on the battlefield. It really does not rely on head-on killings, but mental intimidation.
The best way to defeat the enemy is to defeat the enemy mentally and moralely, and then chase and kill them. Of course, if you encounter a small number of infantrymen who return home dead, the cavalry will often suffer greater losses. Classic battles in history in which infantry defeated cavalry were fought like this.
from.
That's the thing. If you are not afraid, he will be afraid. If you really hit him, except for the first wave of cavalry, you can exchange one for two or even one for three. In the later waves, think about how to avoid the corpses scattered in front. Once the speed drops,
, the cavalry are just a group of targets.
Regarding this, Gongsun Zan knows, and senior officials Zhang and He know it, but knowing it does not mean that you have a way. The soldiers are just afraid of death and will cause chaos. Can senior officials Zhang and He still go up to stop the chaos?
No, they can only form a dense formation as much as possible, so that the people in front of them can gradually retreat and crowd together to slow down the momentum of the charge of the White Horse Yi Cong. To put it bluntly, it will cost lives.
Gongsun Zan has been playing cavalry all his life, doesn’t he understand this? When the first wave of white horse soldiers charged, everyone had several corpses strung on their spears. When the speed slowed down, they immediately dodged to the side to give way to the brothers behind.
Open a channel.
Baima Yi has always been worthy of being one of the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty. The entire cavalry formation is like a fountain. The cavalry at the end of the momentum sprays towards both sides, and then accelerates again and merges into the mainstream. This cycle continues, maintaining a strong impact.
Crazy rush of power.
Although Zhang He and senior officials tried their best, the soldiers were not willing to die. Then, everything was in vain. Twenty thousand infantry lined up against 15,000 white horse followers. After only two quarters of an hour, they collapsed towards both sides.
.
This scene made Yuan Shao and his group sitting at the rear feel both excited and helpless!
The helpless thing is that even though we knew we couldn't stop it, the defeat was too fast. The most important thing was that it had almost no damage to Baima Yicong, and the losses on our side were just... unbearable to witness!
Excitingly, this is part of the plan. It doesn't matter if you can't block it. It doesn't matter if you scatter to both sides. What's important is to use the defeated troops to entangle Gongsun Zan's infantry. In this way, the battlefield will be even narrower, and the white horse Yicon will be defeated.
Blocked on the battlefield in the middle, and in front of it is a feast prepared for Baima Yicong, the dead soldiers must be climbed first!
As long as the first-death warriors can defeat Baima Yicong, then it will be impossible for Baima Yicong to escape. Although the soldiers' morale has been infinitely low after a year of constant defeats, once they win, the explosion after the end will be even crazier.
Baima Yicong, who is completely trapped in the encirclement, will definitely become history!
Therefore, in this battle, either a big defeat or a big victory, it all depends on who gets to the death first!
