Chapter 491: Strength is Truth


Whether it was premeditated or a hasty counterattack, both sides shot arrows in a hurry just now, and very few people were hit, and not many people died.

Of course, Xu Zheng didn't die, but he really had two arrows stuck in his body, if it weren't for the general-level armor defense on his body that was good enough, he really had to explain it here.

The battlefield had already erupted with an earth-shattering roar, and the Jin army heard the cry of "the Han army commander is dead", and regardless of whether the Han army commander was really dead or not, they instantly entered a state of rage.

The Han army is still quiet here, and the soldiers did not riot when they heard the shouts of the enemy, not that the soldiers were not affected by the rumors, but whether their main general died or not, anyway, the main general died and the deputy general of the battlefield took over the command, even if the deputy general died, there was still a history of marching chiefs, and even if the chief of marching was dead, there were still generals who could be substituted below the layers of generals In the final analysis, Liu Yan has been putting an end to the possibility of the army becoming someone's private army when he was building the Han army, and it is impossible for military generals to lead the same army for too long a long time, basically who gets what task and goes to a certain place to receive which troops, and only those middle and low-level officers who are really not transferred away for a long time are those middle and low-level officers, and the middle and low-level officers form a chain of command of an army, and they obey the military orders to take action.

Liu Yan's concept of army building has caused a phenomenon, that is, the Han army will appear very dogmatic and rigid, but this is not harmful to the Han army, after all, only a very small number of generals are from families with cultural heritage, and generals who do not have enough cultural background want to play tricks or something, but don't play too ugly or self-defeating.

The Han army in silence gives people a feeling of immobility, unmoved by foreign objects, not confused by news that does not know the truth or falsehood, and accepts the dogma that whatever military orders are carried out, which is so rigid that it almost penetrates into the bone marrow.

The Jin army is really the whole army attacking, and what leads to it is that there are Jin army activities everywhere within a radius of one or twenty miles.

They were shouting and running, and the pace was fast and slow, and they quickly disjointed themselves, and the fastest Jin soldiers could see the facial features of the Han army opposite.

More than one Jin sergeant will think about a question after seeing the expression of the Han sergeant, that is, it is clear that the main generals of the Han army have been killed, but why the Han sergeant looks extremely indifferent, and he does not look panicked at all Silence is sometimes more powerful than shouting, at least at the moment the silence of the Han army brings unparalleled pressure to the charging Jin army, those Jin soldiers who run fast will subconsciously slow down the pace of running, and their hearts are also added with a trace of apprehension with each step.

In the chaotic shouting and killing of the Jin army, the Han army spoke for the first time, which was driven by the sound of drums, and then about 50,000 soldiers shouted "Han army" at the same time, and after a pause, about 50,000 soldiers shouted "mighty" in unison again.

The neat shouts of the Han army instantly suppressed the chaotic sound of the Jin army, and to the Jin soldiers, it was as if an invisible coercion was suddenly pressed from the sky, forcing them to stop.

Xie Shi, who had returned to his main formation, had already adjusted his war horse, and he found that his own soldiers in front of him were oppressed by the momentum of the Han army and stopped charging, and hurriedly shouted: "Drums, drums, drums" I don't know how many cowhide drums were beaten, and there was a "dong dong" drum sound, and those Jin soldiers who were shocked could be regarded as coming back to their senses and opening their legs again.

Xie Shi, who did everything he could to achieve at least an inner advantage for himself, actually felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart after seeing Han Jun's performance.

"The Han army is really strong."

Sun Sui couldn't hide the frustration in his heart at all: "Is it that they have no thoughts, or are all our plans expected in advance, and we have already informed the whole army of what may happen."

No matter how elite the troops in history, as long as the main general is finished, there will be chaos, not to mention that the Jin army has played a set of "combination punches", but the Han army is really like an army composed of heartless and lungless soldiers, and all their schemes can be said to have not affected the Han army at all, but the morale of their own soldiers has been encouraged.

"Impossible" Xie Shicai didn't want to believe that the Han army was really unmoved, he said with a firm expression: "Even if there are preparations in advance, the morale of the Han army will inevitably be affected, but our current thrust is not big enough, just work harder." ” For the generals of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, any means used in the war are part of the strategy, cunning equals cleverness, shamelessness equals strategy, and the more cunning and shameless it is, in fact, it can be regarded as a qualified commander.

In fact, in the history of war in Chinese civilization, uncompromising means and all kinds of darkness are the mainstream, that is, cunning, dark, cunning, etc., as long as the means can achieve the goal, they are regarded as wisdom, and the difference is which side the camp is on, they will be scolded if they are fooled, and they will be praised if they succeed.

On the contrary, it is the observance and trustworthiness of a gentleman that is stupid, and it is extremely stupid.

Not jokingly, whether it is real or illusory, Zhuge Liang, the first demon of the millennium, is the embodiment of Chinese wisdom, Zhang Heng, who invented the geodynamic instrument, Cai Lun, who integrated and successfully made papermaking, and a group of inventors do not represent wisdom.

In the West, those who can invent and improve technology forget it, don't talk about it.

Xie Shi had already decided to carry forward his wisdom to the end, and soon the Jin army was informed that the friendly forces had won great victories at Shouchun and Dangtu.

Louder cheers were shouted from the mouths of the Jin soldiers, and the Jin soldiers, who were repeatedly stimulated to the point of almost madness, threw themselves into all kinds of enthusiasm, and in an instant their waists were not sore, their legs did not hurt, and they ran faster, and everyone wanted to make some credit in the war that was destined to be won.

On the Han side, there was only a loud roar in unison, and the soldiers of all branches of the Han army at the forefront responded to the sound of the officer's command.

For the first time, the front line of the Han army's military formation was not tower shield soldiers, but rows and rows of spearmen, and the spearmen in the fifth row had already laid out their spears flat.

In the second array were strong archers, strong crossbowmen, and repeaters, making gestures ready to fire amid the sound of password after password.

Further back are the various units standing still.

When the charging Jin soldiers entered the coverage area of the Han army's long-range weapons, the rapid and dense sound of bangzi was heard, and in an instant, I don't know how many bowstrings made a sound of rattling, and then dark clouds rose one after another on the ground, and the air was filled with a sharp sound of breaking the air, and the arrow reached a certain height because of the shaking of the arrow shaft into a continuous "buzzing" sound.

Xu Zheng, who returned to the mountain, did not pull out the arrow from his body, he said to Tiao You: "This lesson must be remembered. ” As a man who joined the Han Army halfway, he has had an opinion on the stereotype of the old Han army generals for a day or two, or because of his background, he said too much.

He and many people who joined the Han army halfway in the Ran Min army have a common idea, and they want to tell those stereotypical generals and colonels that the war in this land is about strategy, and every time they want to prove this truth, they are hit a little hard by reality, the reason is that the Han army wins again and again by pushing flat, how can there be a chance to open that mouth.

"I am also a descendant of the Han family, I thought I would be exquisite, well, it would have been careless."

Xu Zheng was a little embarrassed by Tiaoyou's strange eyes, and said stiffly: "How do you know that Xie Shi is shameless and even inferior to Hu Ren." ” Tiao Yu looked away.

On the battlefield, the fastest Jin army was already under arrows, and they were covered by the dense arrow array of the Han army.

The scale of the arrow array arranged by the Han army is quite large, and the front of the military array can be covered everywhere within 350 steps, the far one is the strong crossbow, the closer is the strong bow, and the closer is the repeating crossbow.

And this is because the Han army has not yet moved out larger killing weapons, such as bed crossbows, car crossbows, catapults and other equipment.

When the Jin army crossed the Huaishui, it carried some eight-horse crossbows, but because the eight-horse crossbows were large and difficult to transport, they were still moving slowly behind after the infantry charged, and I don't know when the eight-horse crossbows could be put into the battlefield.

In the face of the dense and rapid array of arrows of the Han army, the Jin army's charge was directly interrupted, and the soldiers who ran fast and did not have time to escape back were either corpses in the dense arrow battlefield that seemed to be a jungle, or they were injured and stayed in place to wail or groan.

With the distance that the Han army's arrow array could cover as the boundary, the Jin soldiers stopped and stopped moving forward, and some of the Jin army's generals played a role, such as Liu Jian, who was trying his best to concentrate the soldiers with shields, planning to organize the shield array and then go on.

Xie Shi soon conveyed an order to the front, using Liu Jian's department as the front, ordering Liu Jian to charge close to the Han army and start hand-to-hand combat even if he paid a big price.

The entire battlefield was not on the plains of the Flat River, but was actually divided into flat land and mountainous areas, and after the two armies began to fight, they formed multiple parts.

In fact, even in a place where there are more than 100,000 soldiers on both sides, the battlefield is divided into multiple parts, but not everyone is crowded in one place.

Liu Jian's troops were all supplemented by Xie Shi in the back, and there was no run-in on the chain of command, and there were differences between the ordnance and the original troops, but he just had a heart to dare to fight, and he also had the will to avenge his headquarters, and he still tried to assault when most of the other friendly troops were stagnant.

After receiving an order from Xie Shi, and even being supplemented by eight hundred cavalry, Liu Jian knew that now was the time to repay his debts, so he put an extra layer of armor on himself, and made it clear that he would charge ahead, and no one was allowed to retreat before he died, and whoever retreated would kill his entire family.

The troops led by Xie Shang soon came to the back of Liu Jiansuo's department, and he brought with him 10,000 Jin troops that could be called elite, among which there were even cavalry that the Jin army was very lacking, accounting for 1,500 out of 10,000.

"General, wait a minute, a passage will be opened for the general."

Liu Jian didn't look apprehensive, and finished speaking to Xie Shang in a calm tone, facing his troops and his subordinates, he slapped his horse and ran out to leave a roar: "Charge, charge, charge" The five thousand Jin troops who looked like death squads were urgently replenished with shields, and Liu Jian, who was the general of Yingyang, took the lead in the charge, followed by more than two hundred Liu family troops, and a large number of Jin soldiers gritted their teeth and rushed forward.

Liu Jian has been silently counting the seconds, his mouth is biting the reins with his teeth, carrying a round shield in his left hand, and holding a horse lance in his right hand, raising his vigilance and waiting for the sky to fall dense arrows.

He waited and waited, but the arrow did not fall for a long time, and in his ears came the chorus of the Han army on the opposite side.

"Han Army, Sortie" Located on the opposite side of Liu Jian's charge, it is the headquarters of Dou'a.

Dou'a was ordered to rush directly to each other, and only when necessary, the long-range attack troops such as arrow arrays in the rear would provide support, otherwise it should be to let the Jin army see that the Han army could not only shoot arrows.

In a chorus of shouting "Han Army Might" military trumpets, the first to step out were the spearmen in the first row, they all put the spears in their hands flat, and charged forward with neat steps in a half-sunken posture.

The spearmen of the second row ran out about five paces in the robe of the first row, and then shouted in unison to continue to follow, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth rows, and the whole army formation was like a wave, rolling forward wave after wave.

Liu Jian, who was charging on a war horse, was obviously stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help showing an ecstatic expression.

Just like the Hu people who can't do anything with the Han army's arrow array, the Jin army is actually frightened by the Han army's kind of arrows that don't need money, and it is relatively better than the Hu people that the Jin army has at least enough shields, but it is really a headache to be restricted.

"The Han army is so confident" Xie Shang frowned deeply when he saw the scene on the battlefield, not only did the Han army not cover it with arrows, but he didn't even see the appearance of the Han cavalry.

He said to his left and right henchmen with a heavy heart: "The Han army really holds the grand momentum and completely subdues us with an absolutely strong attitude. ” If there were no Shijie Zhao State was defeated by the Han State to only two states, and the Han State, which was the enemy of the whole world, did not show a weak state in the hostility and conquest of various countries, Xie Shang would feel that it was a joke for the Han army to hold a grand momentum, the problem is that the Han army seems to really have enough confidence and confidence to fight the Jin army in such a posture.

In the entire battlefield, the Jin army really found that the Han army had abandoned its absolute advantage over long range, and only a few of them seemed to be Xie Shang who sensed the intentions of the Han army, and more of them adhered to the psychology of being a bastard if they had a advantage and did not take advantage of it, and perhaps laughed at the stupidity of the Han army from the bottom of their hearts.

"Beat the drum, keep beating the drum" Xie Shi lowered his head after roaring, he couldn't let his wry smile be discovered.

After he raised his head again, he looked confident again, and said to the left and right with ease: "The Han generals' brains are broken, and their defeat is doomed." ” Xu Zheng, who was at the top of the hill looking at the overall situation of the battlefield, touched the tail feathers of the arrow on his body, and said as if telling the truth: "Destroy its confidence, and the battle of conquest is nothing more than that."

What I didn't say was that the civil war really couldn't be a killing and killing, it could only show the strongest side and directly defeat the other party.

At this moment, if you can, your face should be full of black lines:
