Chapter 120: The strength of the Hao army
Dol is talking about war horses, not just having the word "horse".
Not all horses can be war horses.
Only one of the three or five horses will eventually be trained to become a war horse, and perhaps the final training rate will be lower.
The value of a war horse on the Jin side will not be less than fifteen pieces of cloth, and one piece of cloth can be exchanged for about eight stones of barley.
It is not directly calculated by coins, mainly because the circulation rate of coins is not high now, and everyone actually uses barter as a means of trading.
Lu Wu's mind quickly finished calculating, and his gaze became very kind.
This guy is not simply a prisoner.
It's a wealth that can speak!
Lu Wu asked, "You are from the coalition army...... Chieftain? β
Judging from his voice, he guessed that this Jin nobleman was very young, and replied: "This time, the leader of the alliance is Vagotai, and I am the leader of one of the most powerful tribes on the west bank of the river. β
In this regard, LΓΌ Wu at least knew that Bai Zhai's coalition leader's name was Wagotai.
Judging from the name, he pondered a bit of the charm of the Qiang people.
The battlefield here is being cleaned up.
Bai Zhai's camp over there.
The general of the Shangjun Shixie personally led the army to attack Bai Zhai's camp.
Shangjun Zuo Haoqi led two "divisions" to block the Wagodai headquarters that was trying to rescue the camp.
The main attack on Bai Zhai's camp was the soldiers of the Fan clan, they broke through a distance, limited by the complex terrain of the camp and the large number of debris, and then met the Di people who came to resist, and the advance slowed down.
He was ready from the start.
The troops from the Hao clan set up a two-fold formation, two phalanxes in front and rear.
They did not wait for the Di people, who had withdrawn from the frontal battlefield, to get closer, and then launched a charge to the sound of war drums.
More than 100 chariots rolled forward to the sound of horses' hooves and wheels.
The soldiers on foot stood still.
He looked at the battlefield and said to his retainers: "Wen Yinwu has played my family's style? β
It is about the attack tactics that are like the waves of the sea, wave after wave.
The retainer replied: "Is there a leak of the family's tactics? β
He shook his head and said, "Even the descendants are difficult to look at, how can it be leaked." β
The Hao family can really guarantee that the military book will not be leaked.
And Lu Wu had not watched the battle of the warriors of the Hao clan.
After thinking about it, they really couldn't understand how Lu Wu could have the same tactics.
The performance belonging to the Hao family began.
The chariot burst into the crowd of Di people, who had no formation to speak of, and rushed around with impunity, bringing screams and death with them, and rolling up a thick cloud of dust.
Some Di people were lucky not to be targeted by the chariot, and they continued to run forward, but they were greeted by rows and rows of Xun soldiers charging up.
Every row of Jin troops charged, and they would form a battle squad when they fought with the Di people, and several soldiers danced wildly against a Di people.
If Lu Wu could see it, he would find that the soldiers of the old Lu family were not as good as the Hao family.
At least, the old Lu family did not deliberately form a combat team, basically more people and fewer people.
Judging from the rhythm of the battle, the Xun clan looks so unhurried, giving people a very leisurely illusion, as if he is not participating in a battle, but more like an outing.
The "waves" composed of the soldiers of the Xu clan beat one beat after another.
It was obvious that Di was attacking, but it seemed that it was the soldiers of the Xu clan who slapped Di Ren to death in place again and again, and then continued to sweep forward.
True, the battle can only be described with the word "swept".
Wherever the soldiers of the Hao clan passed, they left corpses everywhere, and they continued to move forward unhurriedly like an outing, but they were able to sweep away the Di people who collided head-on.
He Qi watched his soldiers performing, his face was full of pride, and said: "Native chickens and dogs, An Neng competes with me." β
There really has to be a ranking within the Jin Kingdom, in the past, the army of the Yin clan could definitely be ranked in the top three, and after the fall of the Zhao clan and the re-establishment, they said that they were second, and no one dared to come out and say that they were first.
And the Yin clan not only has a strong fighting force, but also has the largest number among the eight secretaries of the Jin State.
Lu Wu on the other side couldn't see that there was resistance on the battlefield, and the prisoners who should be tied up were all tied into skewers, and the black noodles were not left behind.
He summoned a "pawn", took Wei Rui with him, and set off after the traces left by Cheng Slip.
After about a quarter of an hour, they came to the periphery.
Wei Rui asked, "Lord, looking for a high slope?" β
Lu Wu bowed.
They just brought a "pawn", and it would be shameless to join the battle.
Being a spectator would be a better choice.
When you come to the high slope, you can see the entire battlefield.
Bai Zhai's camp was set up in a position near a mountain, and there were plains about three or four miles in the other three directions.
More often there are low hills, densely populated with vegetation, and several woods that cover a relatively small area.
If your eyes are good enough, you can see the stumps of trees.
It's the kind of thing that has been cut down, and only the roots are deep and the roots are left, and there is a piece of wood.
Fighting a war requires a camp, and wood is needed to make a fire to make food, and of course trees are unlucky.
In general, the area is not very wide, and many mountains obscure the view.
Again, the woods can also provide seclusion.
If war takes place here in an era when everything is done, there will definitely be a lot of deceit and deceit, and all kinds of tactics will be staged in turn.
Wei Rui is now in the same car with Lu Wu and introduced: "The attack is the Fan family, and the attack is the Yin family." β
Lu Wu was looking for where the "lower army" went, but he didn't see it after looking around.
He looked at the battlefield where they were charging at each other, and he was stunned.
The Jin army wearing red robes, their style of play was the main reason why Lu Wu was stunned.
"This ......" he was a little dazed, thinking: "At this time, there is a 'human wave tactic'?" β
Many people think that the pig rush tactic of the foot basin chicken is to rush forward in a swarm, but it is not.
To put it bluntly, it is divided into echelons, and the main purpose is to focus on a "key point" and then make a breakthrough regardless of casualties.
Nogi Noshinori, who created the pig assault tactic, actually borrowed the advantages of the Chinese cold weapon war formation.
Wei Rui couldn't help but say, "How strong is the Yin family!" β
In the past, LΓΌ Wu thought that the strength of the Hao clan was reflected in the advantage of the area of the fief and the number of warriors, and after seeing the battle of the Hao army with his own eyes, he realized that there was a mistake in his understanding.
He stared intently and thought, "Combat squad? I'm certainly not going to copy it exactly, or it's hard to explain. β
This is the time to talk about "lord's patents".
The simplest one is that which family created what technology without the premise of "authorization", even if the data is stolen, it cannot be copied.
Of course, this "lord's patent" is still based on the year, and the knowledge that is too long ago does not count.
Otherwise, a piece of Ru Mao can drink blood.
In terms of tactics, it seems to be no problem, but the exact same is the most obvious provocation.
While studying the Yin army, Lu Wu thought: "In terms of squad tactics, what kind of ......formation is the Qi family's army, the Mandarin Duck Formation?" Coordinates are ......"
The soldiers of the Hao army were equipped with war swords in small numbers, and most of them used war ge, and there were no soldiers with shields.
In this configuration, they complete the combat squad with a standing position, and most soldiers attack the same enemy for a short period of time, and then look for the next prey after killing.
Lu Wu thought very intently: "No! Even if there is that technology to create the weapon of the Mandarin Duck Array, I have not specifically read General Qi Jiguang's works. β
Many people know that there is a "mandarin duck array", so the problem comes.
Which of these "Mandarin Duck Arrays" is from the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", "Record of Military Training", "The Essentials of the Army", and "The New Book of Armament"?
Know what weapons are available.
So, do you know where the soldier with which weapon should stand, and then how should they cooperate?
The more formations you need to work with, the more complex they become, and they don't have to be trained in a short period of time.
Lu Wude admitted that he didn't even remember all the weapons of the "Mandarin Duck Array", but he remembered that there was a unique weapon called the "Wolf Duck", as well as shield players and spearmen, and he didn't know the rest.
Therefore, there is no clear concept of what the positions of the various arms of the "Mandarin Duck Array" should be.
While Lu Wu was thinking about the wandering world, the Bai Zhai coalition army opposite the Yin clan collapsed.
After the collapse, the Di people put aside their feet and ran, and they didn't run all over the mountains for a short time.
And at this time, the "lower army" who didn't know where it was before popped up.
From Lu Wu's point of view, it can be seen that the "lower army" appeared from a certain basin, stretched the formation in a short period of time, became an encirclement and then advanced, obviously trying to cooperate with the Hao army to encircle the enemy forces outside the camp.
"Lord?" Wei Rui could see that Lu Wu was thinking, and he could guess that he was interpreting the tactics of the Hao clan. He had to interrupt Lu Wu's thinking and said, "The gentleman has arrived. β
A wide car is a big car.
The chariot in which the monarch rode was indeed larger than the rest of the nobles, and it was surrounded by guardrails and a canopy.
Lu Wu looked in the direction Wei Rui was pointing with some distraction.
There, at first glance, a team that didn't look like it was coming to fight.
The reason why they didn't come to fight was that there was a monarch in the team, and they also played a lot of flags, but they were not flags for command, they were purely some kind of decorations.
The sun in the sky has moved to the west.
Look at where the sun is, and in another hour, night will cover the earth.
Lu Wu found that the monarch's team was coming towards this high slope and beckoned: "I'll wait to return!" β
It is impossible for them to join the battle, they cannot continue to stay on this high slope, and they must go back to join their headquarters.
The team that deliberately avoided the monarch collided with the rest of the team.
When Lu Wu's team staggered past the other party, he saw Qi Xi.
When he saw it, he immediately saluted.
Qi Xi also saw Lu Wu. He was stunned for a moment, and the team staggered.
"Lord." Wei Rui introduced: "They are all clans. β
In the past, if anyone talked to Lu Wu about "Gong Clan", there would be no clear concept.
The clan is the nobleman with the surname of the monarch and the foot.
Now that they have encountered a team of clan members, they have to think about what their intentions are when they rush to the battlefield.
Lu Wu thought, "Come to grab the credit?" β
