Sweep the World

The battle of the Han army's southward invasion was a war of confidence. It should not be too opportunistic. It was to let the people of the small Eastern Jin Dynasty understand the gap between the two sides in all aspects, destroy the self-confidence of those people, and make the internal disintegration and loss. Resist the will. . Fastest update

Similar strategies have appeared in many wars. Destroying the enemy’s self-confidence is the best combat target, rather than enabling the enemy to resist with confidence and turning the war into a war of attrition. Once the war is a war of attrition, even if it can be won this time, it should be broken. This is also part of the "criminal plot" mentioned in the book of war.

Xie Shi's shogunate repelled the Han army in a battle, and the momentum was inspired by the smooth opening.

For the part led by Xie Wanqin, they first repelled about 5,000 Han troops. Facing the obstacles of the Han army’s organization of arrow formations, they slowed the advancement speed, but did not cause them to retreat.

After the Han army showed its sharp arrow formation, the Jin army seized the tools that could block the arrows, such as shield carts and shields, which they had been building all the time, and they were taken with them when the shogunate went into battle.

Such a scene appeared on the battlefield. The Jin army was attacking. The front of the array was covered by a shield car, accompanied by soldiers carrying the shield. They seemed to be under a dense rain of arrows. Although they advanced slowly, they did not stop advancing.

Xie Wan is no longer in the forefront, but is temporarily staying behind with about two thousand cavalry. Watching the arrows falling from the sky is not as dense as it is when it rains, even if his soldiers have shield carts and shields, they are still there. There were heavy casualties.

"How about the terrain survey?" Xie Wan was wearing a set of zha armor, and similar armor was the mainstream in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He spoke more quickly and said: "Let the scout be quicker!"

Although the terrain on the north bank of the Huaishui River is relatively open, there are still a lot of small hills. The frontal advancement route of the Jin army is not straight forward. The sight in some places is actually blocked by the uplifting hills.

The Jin army that was advancing under the arrow rain of the Han army originally had about 3,000, but it was less than a hundred steps to advance and there were less than 2,500 left. It can be seen how dense the Han army’s arrow formations are, resulting in shields. Cars and shields also suffered such casualties.

The Jin sergeants who followed the shield car tried to hide behind the shield car’s planks. There were basically no less than 20 people behind each shield car. As a result, some soldiers walked out of the front of the shield car and were shot. Turning over, it's hard to say that some of them were pierced from the head to the body by the vertical arrow.

The Jin sergeant holding the shield lifted the shield by leaning sideways and leaning on his shoulders. The upper body was able to protect it, but the lower body had a gap. Often, some soldiers fell down first with the arrow in the leg, and the shield was opened before they were counted. Arrow died.

Slowly, the advancing Jin army stopped. The soldiers who watched the shield car lined up the shield car in a straight line, while the soldier holding the shield put the shield up on the wall to support it.

"Push up the eight-jun crossbow!"

The eight-junction crossbow of the Jin Army is very large, divided into single-shot style and three-shot style. At least 16 people are required to lift it by manpower, and two horses or eight people are required to carry it in a carriage.

The eight-jun crossbow can have a range of up to two hundred and twenty-five steps away. You don’t even think about it. It can fire a standard crossbow or a long spear. It takes about half a quarter of an hour to fire one round. Rewind.

"Make a tunnel on site?" Dou'a was standing on a small mountain bag. His troops were not in the front line. Standing beside him was Zhong Xing, who was participating in the battle. He found something and seemed to raise his hand: "Bed crossbow?"

The Han army's arrow attack did not stop. The Jin army made shield walls and tunnels on the spot. The Han army used its own strong crossbow's range advantage to jump over those fortifications and attack the rear of the Jin army.

Zhong Xing looked in the direction of Dou Azhi, and he could see some vehicles pulled by human or animal power in the Jin army, covered with cloth. He gave an order to the standard bearer next to him: "Notify the rear that the Jin army has dispatched a crossbow."

The Han army has long had semaphores, which can be used to report or exchange information remotely.

The arrow array that received the information quickly adjusted the coverage position, and then the crossbow and bed crossbow also joined the ranks of diffusion.

This is not the first time that the Han Army’s bed crossbows and cart crossbows have been dispatched. It can only be said that there are fewer opportunities to use them. Such as bed crossbows and cart crossbows used to shoot enemy troops into skirmish lines are actually very wasteful. They are generally used to target dense arrays of enemy troops or to use them during siege.

The strong crossbow arrow array was shot at the rear of the Jin army, while the bed crossbow and the cart crossbow were fortifications built during the shooting of the Jin army.

First, the stunned drums of war were struck, and the Han soldiers on the battlefield couldn't help but look at the position of the general flag, and found that there was no new order to give them a bewilderment.

The sound of drums is to cover the deployment of the cavalry. People who are far away can hardly distinguish the sound of horseshoes and drums. The closer Zhonghui and Dou'a are attracted by a dense roar. They use At the geographic height, he turned his head and looked back, a sea of ​​cavalry was gathering behind the mountain bag, and the number would definitely not be less than five thousand.

Braving the rain of arrows to lift the Eight-Jun crossbow to a suitable distance, they lifted the cover, and what was revealed was a huge machine that looked at it. They had already been wound up, and each rod had a halberd-shaped arrowhead. Braving the deep cold light.

"shoot!"

Amid the humming of the huge bowstring, the vehicle carrying the Eight-Jun crossbow shook. After the crossbow arrow left the string, the vehicle continued to tremble, and the surrounding Jin army was hurriedly rewinded by the officers.

The soldiers of the Jin sergeant who controlled the Bajun crossbows did not work in a safe environment. What happened was that during the winding process, someone was hit by a crossbow arrow shot by the Han army from time to time, causing the bowstring to be pulled by the force to suddenly lose one person and all previous efforts were lost, or even happen. The situation where a person was thrown away by a bowstring.

The crossbow arrows fired by the Bajun crossbows are scattered. Their target is the Han army lined up two hundred steps away. They shoot about a hundred shots, and the number of them that fall in the Han army formation is less than 30, every time they fall. The rod can bring out a scream.

Why didn't you hide when you knew that there was a crossbow shot by the Han army? There is a very clear reason. After entering the battle, how the soldiers should go is restricted. In many cases, knowing that they will die is still to be motionless. Those who do not move are those who die. Unrest will cause chaotic death in the army. more people. The popular saying is that once you are a soldier, you have to wade over even if there is a sea of ​​swords and fires ahead. It is not the soldier's own responsibility to decide what path to take.

Not only is it for the Han army to be tough even if it is shot, but for the Jin army to stay on the battlefield if it is likely to be shot at any time. It is always involuntary to be on the battlefield. It is normal to say that it is possible to get shot. Suddenly one after another round gadgets appeared in the sky with the sound of howling wind. After it hits a person, it smashes the human body into mud, and then rolls and sweeps the person's legs. Such a scene looks abnormal. It's horrible.

The sudden use of the catapult by the Han army was a great terror for the Jin army, but the coordinates of the rolling stone launched by the Han army were wrong.

The Jin army that was attacked by stone bullets was not only hit by people, but some Eight Jun crossbows were also smashed into pieces. The screams and screams of panic did not stop, leading to chaos in the Jin army for the first time.

"Have you not found a route for the cavalry to take a detour?!" Xie Wan looked at the miserable situation ahead, and he was distraught: "A quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, I haven't found it. The scouts are all cut!"

The Han army’s arrow formation was too sharp, and it was equipped with crossbows, bed crossbows, and stone throwing carts. The cavalry of the Jin army simply couldn’t directly charge. If they were to charge the two thousand cavalry, they could have 500 charge. It is lucky to be in front of the Han army.

After the readjustment, the Han army's stone dumping vehicle was reloaded and fired again. The round stone bomb fell through a mid-air leap. The stone bomb that hit the Jin military fortifications was a spatter of sawdust. After the sawdust was splashed out, it was necessary to cause a scream. I don’t know how many Jin soldiers fell to the ground with blood flowing all over the body at that moment. It is a relief to die in an instant. If they die in an instant, they will suffer unimaginable pain and pain. Tortured to lose blood and die.

Xie Shi, who was further behind, could only vaguely see what was happening in front of him, not knowing why a bad feeling arose.

"The Han army suddenly sounded the drum of war..." Sun Chuo said confusedly: "Is it related to the use of many weapons?"

A trace of inspiration appeared in Xie Shi's mind. His expression changed wildly and he roared, "Let Xie Wan be careful of the Han cavalry!"

There is no semaphore on the Jin army's side, only the drum horn is used to alert the front, but the battlefield has long been reverberated with war drums, and even the various sounds of people and horses are full.

Xie Shi warned Xie Wan that it was a drum horn and sent people. If the drum horns were useless, the people sent would definitely not be able to notify them for a while.

Xie Wan, who was commanding at the front, of course also felt that the meaning was not right. The Han army's crossbows, crossbows, and stone dumpers were very targeted, as if they wanted to create conditions for a counterattack. He has already ordered some troops to be closely guarded, be careful that the Han troops go out and recoil, and there are no new orders for those troops who are being fired in front.

Without too much observation, the Jin army at the front of the battle line has actually appeared routs running backwards. These rout soldiers fled, the rear supervising team first shot an arrow warning, and the warning was invalid and shot them to death.

It was not that Xie Wan hadn't noticed the morale collapse, but he couldn't withdraw the troops whose morale was about to collapse. The terrain of this area is very similar to a valley. The difference is that the mountains on both sides are just small hills. If the troops in the front are retreated before the battle, it is not known that it will evolve into a collapse, but if there is any possibility that it will impact the friendly forces in the rear, it is him. Need to be stopped.

A bleak horn suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and a cloud of smoke was also lifted into the sky by the wind. The first Han cavalry appeared in Xie Wan’s line of sight, followed by a large swath of Han cavalry from the billowing smoke. Appear.

The moment the desolate horn sounded, the Han army’s long-range attack weapons had stopped firing. The Jin army, who had been stunned long ago, had not had time to feel relieved. The sudden appearance of the Han army cavalry was the roar of horseshoes and the slight on the ground. In the shock, the Jinjun generals who first saw the Han cavalry screamed in horror. The movement in the front affected the rear. The group of people who could not hold it for a long time took the lead in leaving their feet and fled, driving more. People who have become uncontrollable retreat.

"It's also considered determined." Zhong Hui slapped his lips and commented in a simple manner: "They can survive more than 30% of the casualties and can persist until the cavalry comes on the field before they collapse."

Dou'a nodded in approval: "How can you be regarded as an elite unit if you can hold on to 30% of the casualties."

Being in a place where you might die at any time without being frightened and weakening all over is already considered courageous. I can see familiar or unfamiliar people all the time, one moment alive and alive, the next moment becomes a corpse, whether it is a strong impact on the vision or the soul again and again, it is not driven by instinct to escape to the feeling A safe place is actually a brave person.

Whether a hero kills an enemy or endures fear hard, those who dare to go to the battlefield are heroes. The army composed of a large number of people found that Paoze died in a large number of battles and was able to persevere without being defeated. It really can be praised as an elite. After all, the elites in the army are not talking about how high or good their martial arts are, but about collective cooperation and the tolerance for casualties.

"Archery!" Xie Wan yelled wildly, "Regardless of enemy or me, the rain of arrows is covered!"

The front troops of the Jin army who have been shooting for a long time can still run back about seven or eight hundred. They are running hard with absolute horror on their faces, and they are all rushing back to the friendly army and running. The arrow of the running friendly army was shot, and before he died, he still had a desire to live.

The roaring horseshoes continued to roll forward. Not only was there billowing smoke and dust behind them, but also a muddy **** road was stepped on. It was the muddy mud mixed with the mud and the flesh and blood of at least two thousand people trampled by the horseshoes. ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ When Xie Wan discovered that the Han army dispatched cavalry, he had brought about two thousand cavalry to move around. The warning from Xie Shi from the rear had not arrived at this time, even if it had been sent, it was actually not there. What kind of bird is used.

The cavalry of the Han army has accelerated to the fastest speed, riding horses rushing to the front of the cavalry. They looked at the cavalry that should be plate armor, and the eyes hidden behind the visor stared at the front, where there was the archer of the Jin army. Arrows were constantly being released, followed by improvised spears or spear arrays.

There were waves of horns in the roar of horseshoes, which were ordering to diffuse.

It is not the long-range troops behind the Han army who want to shoot, but the Han army cavalry in the charge picking up the crossbow hanging on the side of the horse while galloping, pull the trigger as soon as the horn falls, and drop it directly after shooting. Riding a crossbow, he raised the lance in one hand, and shielded the key with a small round shield in the other.

The crossbowmen on the Jin army's side shot arrows in a panic, and then ran to the sides.

If you can listen carefully, you will find that heavy breathing has become the mainstream of waiting for the Jin army, and the Han cavalry in their sight is getting closer... getting closer...
