Chapter 497: On the March, I Discussed the Soldiers at Night

Xiang Jing touched his head, his eyes widened, and he asked as he ran, "Collapse and collapse?" What's the difference? ”

Sun Chu on the side laughed and said, "Tie Niu, is your brain made of wood?" Collapse, it was the army that was defeated and withdrawn, but there was still discipline, and that collapse, just like the Qin army just now, could not be restrained by military discipline and orders at all, everyone ran around, collided with each other, trampled on each other, we just chased after us like ducks, and in the end, they trampled to death more than we killed. ”

Xiang Jing suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case." Brother Jinu, what Sandanzi (Sun's nickname) said is right. ”

Liu Yu smiled and patted Sun Chu's shoulder as he ran: "Three eggs, it's okay, even I know this, it seems that I have read the military book less." ”

Sun Chu grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "After following Brother Jinu for a long time, I know that I have to read the military book to be a good general, and it is a pity that I don't have such a good opportunity in the Beifu Army." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, that's it." Face-to-face fighting, it is impossible to kill too many people, that is, our kind of concentrated burst at a distance of thirty paces, did not shoot a thousand enemy soldiers, but the remaining thousands of enemy troops fled because of fear, the rear army hit the front army, the front army stepped on the rear army, so trampling on each other, one is to completely lose the formation and command, the general's order can not be given, the other is to kill and trample each other in the dark night, the dead people can be killed much faster than us. ”

"These 50,000 Qin troops, even if they are 50,000 pigs, we 5,000 people will cut ten each, and I am afraid that we will not be able to cut them all in three days, but if we collapse in such a hurry, we will step on ourselves and kill ourselves, then it will take less than two hours to die, so the art of war is cloudy, and the defeat of the army is like a mountain, and I want this collapse of theirs!"

Liu Yi nodded thoughtfully: "The defeat is like a mountain?!" Well said. But why do you conclude that a burst of fire at a distance of thirty paces can destroy them? Why can't a distance of fifty paces? ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "If it collapses, it doesn't depend on how many enemy troops are killed, if it is a well-trained army with high morale, just like Liang Cheng's department just now, even if one hundred and eighty people die, you can also remove the army with heavy losses in the front row through rotation and replace it with the new force behind, just like our formation is long and stabbing for half an hour, how many opponents can be killed, this is called stalemate." ”

He Wuji said with a smile: "With the right fit, with the odd victory, this is the essence of the art of war, Ji slave, you are unexpected, approaching the enemy, and then a large number, instantly kill and injure the enemy, in order to completely destroy their morale?" ”

Liu Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and said: "Yes, that's it, originally we braved the flint to rush across the stream, and more than 200 people advanced in a dense formation, which has seriously dampened their morale, and even made them suspect that we are not people, but ghosts." At a distance of one hundred to fifty paces, we were shot by them in turn, and our bodies were full of arrows, and we were standing tall, and the morale of the Qin army was already on the verge of collapse. ”

"But after all, they are well-trained, and the main general personally stepped forward to press the formation, with the personal guards of the tribe as the first-line commander and governor, so they stabilized the position, plus there are hundreds of big shields in front of them, if our army shoots at them at a distance of fifty paces, although it can defeat the enemy, but it cannot form the effect of chasing and fighting, the Qin army can quickly send new heavy troops to rotate those crossbowmen in front, and when we hit this step, we will lose half of it, because this battle must be resolved quickly, drag on for a while, as soon as the enemy's reinforcements arrive, We'll have no choice but to withdraw. ”

"Therefore, we can only continue to advance, when we are thirty steps away from the enemy, the enemy panics and shoots the last arrow, and at this time their rotation is also in chaos, the people outside want to escape back into the shield wall, the people inside want to come out, so they are huddled together, at this time we have three arrows in a row, and we can kill thousands of enemies in an instant, this kind of rapid, large number of casualties, the most demoralizing, close-range crossbow shots, tearing the human body, the internal organs flow, for all the living people nearby, it is a huge stimulus, even if it is a fierce person, Seeing his comrades-in-arms around him being pierced and torn alive, he will also be delirious, at this time, it is a collapse, and no general can control such a collapsed army. ”

Everyone nodded in admiration, and Tan Pingzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "Brother Jinu, I've known you for so long, this is the most convincing time for me in the bottle." Mastering people's psychology so accurately is simply the roundworms in the stomach of those Qin Jun. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, but heard Meng Chang's voice sounding on the side: "Jinnu, in the end, when the general of the Qin army counterattacked with his troops, you killed the general with a crossbow, is this also what you planned a long time ago?" ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's still Yanda (Meng Chang's words, among these rough men, Meng Chang, who is full of poetry and books, is an outlier, and it is not like Liu Muzhi who can't go to the battlefield because he is too fat, so other people's nicknames are all rabbit masters, three eggs, dog leftovers, etc., but for him, it is commensurate with the words) You observe carefully." Yes, before advancing, I observed the position of the enemy's commander, that man was behind the formation at first, and then when our army advanced, the front army wavered, and he continued to move forward, but it was still at a distance of about 100 paces, with this person's martial arts, about 100 steps, a shot is difficult to kill, and it needs to be about 50 steps. ”

Liu Yi said with a smile: "So you must advance to a distance of thirty steps from the enemy, shoot the enemy in one fell swoop, and then the enemy will inevitably be unable to hold back, and you must personally press forward to crush the troops, and by the way, take your own troops and personal guards to launch a counter-assault, at this time, the soldiers are in chaos, and you can kill the enemy with one arrow?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, this is the best opportunity to shoot the enemy general, usually the generals are behind the formation, and there is heavy protection, it is very difficult to kill, but at this time, it is a lonely forward, which gives us a good opportunity." This man is not a mediocre general, and he can organize a counterattack in such a difficult time, but on the other hand, as long as he is killed, the morale of the enemy army will no longer be able to recover, and the remaining soldiers of the front army will definitely run in all directions and rush into the sergeants behind. ”

He Wuji had an idea: "Hey, Jinnu, according to the formation of our army, the front army and the middle front army, the middle army, the left army, and the right army must be separated by a certain distance, at least a hundred steps, that is, to prevent this kind of situation where the first army rushes to collapse and disperses the rear army, can it be that the more than 1,000 Qin troops can rush away the tens of thousands of troops behind them?" ”
