It was good that the heavy shield hands of the Wu army desperately blocked the chariot, but if it was knocked out of the gap by the chariot of the Chu army, the consequences would be disastrous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe subsequent chariots of the Chu army will be crushed like a heavy hammer, and the chaotic effect caused is huge, when people push and shove, soldiers often trample on each other, and the result of trampling on each other is more chaotic, and then lead to more serious pushing and crowding.

The Chu army made a bloody investment in this battle, and all 700 chariots were sacrificed, and the 2,100 charioteers in the hedge formation were all given fifth-class soldiers, and if they died in battle, they would be rewarded with a fifth-class soldier.

A fifth-class soldier gave one hundred and fifty acres, which was three hundred acres when counted twice, which was equivalent to the amount of land owned by a rich peasant or small landowner in this era, and the other rewards were counted separately. In other words, it is to exchange your life for your family's poverty alleviation and prosperity. In modern times, it is equivalent to giving your family millions of dollars in exchange for you to carry out a suicide attack mission.

is just a reward for the military merits of the charioteers, and Zhang Xiu will have to take out at least five or six hundred thousand acres of land in this battle, which sounds quite painful, but in fact, it is not. Since the troubled times, the number of people has decreased sharply, and there are millions of acres of land abandoned and ownerless? What Zhang Xiu has to do is to draw a circle of these wastelands and then reward them. These lands are left in the hands of the state, and they do not grow their own food, and they cannot be used for farming, and their value can only be realized by distributing them to the peasants who have little land and no land.

Inevitably, some people here will ask, isn't it a contradiction to say that there are a large number of landless peasants on one side and a large number of landless peasants on the other? Actually, no, this is a special feature of troubled times. Troubled times often begin with the collapse of the country's production chain, such as the unsustainable life of the people at the bottom due to the dark corrupt rule and various natural and man-made disasters, and then there are revolts, such as uprisings. Then there was the rise of the scourge of swords and soldiers, and the war once again dealt a fatal blow to agricultural production, and the people who were in chaos were even more unable to engage in normal production, so a vicious cycle was formed, and the peasants' enthusiasm for engaging in agricultural production became lower and lower, so the phenomenon of abandoning the displaced people became more and more, and when these displaced people temporarily settled down, there was an absurd scene of the peasants lacking land and little land on the one hand.

The battle entered a white-hot battle at the beginning, and the charging of the Chu army's chariots regardless of casualties caused great psychological shock and substantial damage to the Wu army. As long as a chariot hits the gap, the follow-up Chu army chariot will often take away the lives of a piece of Wu army's foot soldiers, and countless Wu soldiers and soldiers will die from trampling and stamping, and the casualties of Chu soldiers and Wu soldiers are one to ten, of course, compared to the casualties caused, the biggest advantage that these seven hundred chariots bring to the Chu army is still in the battle formation.

On the Wu army's side, Sun Quan and Cheng Pu were not prepared for the scale of the Chu army's use of chariots, but they never expected that Zhang Xiu would be so willing and use the chariots to charge the battle tactics at such a cost. In the Wu army, there were many archers and lightly armed foot soldiers, and the heavy infantry shield men did not account for much of the proportion, and they almost couldn't withstand the chariot rush of the Chu army. Fortunately, Cheng Pupu sent Han Dang to lead all the heavy infantry of the Wu army to the front, and ordered Sun Ben to lead the sword and axe hand as the battle supervisor to the back of the battle, which made it difficult to resist the formation.

Gao Shun naturally knew that the chariot alone would not be able to break down the Wu army's formation, but the effect of the chariot charging was what the Chu army needed. Without the cover of the Wu army's heavy steps, the crossbowmen advancing on both flanks of the Chu army quickly closed the distance between them and the two flanks of the Wu army, and then almost at the same time, the two armies pulled the strings and fired at each other.

In all fairness, although the Chu army led by Gao Shun was well-trained and well-armed, the level of the Chu army's crossbowmen was still generally inferior to that of the Wu army's archers, so although the Chu army had an advantage in the number of soldiers and horses in this battle, it was not necessarily a disadvantage in shooting.

However, if the Wu archers lacked the cover of the infantry shieldmen, and the Chu army's crossbowmen hid behind the heavy infantry shield array to shoot at them, it was natural that the Chu army would have the absolute upper hand. This is the reason why Gao Shun was determined to ignore the loss of the Chu army's military vehicles, and the facts also proved that Gao Shun's tactics were correct.

Cheng Pu and Sun Quan also saw the purpose of the Chu army at this time, but they were helpless. The morale of the Wu army was not as good as that of the Chu army, and the Chinese army could not afford to lose, and the underestimation of the Chu army's investment in this battle was the biggest problem.
