"Abandon the chaotic army at the front, stabilize the position, reorganize, and prepare for a counterattack." Asafa looked at the former army that had been completely eroded under the impact of Zhou Yu's army, and said decisively.

With his order, the soldiers who did not fall into confusion retreated some distance back, quickly regrouping and realigning.

"Abandon the car to protect the handsome?" A hint of appreciation flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes.

"Gong Jin, have you found out, the tenacity and bravery of the other party's soldiers are a little beyond imagination." Zhuge Liang looked at the situation in the field and said in a solemn tone.

The Kushan front army, which was scattered and chaotic in the two formations, did not retreat at all despite the confusion, and still maintained a brave fight. It is precisely because of the tenacity of the opponent who is at an absolute disadvantage and does not retreat an inch that the rear can reorganize the formation in time and form a formation again to resist.

"Indeed, even if my Dachu legions can do this, I'm afraid there are not many people, it seems that there is still a lack of training." Zhou Yu frowned.

"Although the training mechanism and logistics of my Da Chu soldiers are perfect, after all, the recruitment time is too short, the training time is not long enough, and they have experienced fewer battles. Although they are already considered elite, the quality of these Kushan soldiers is still a little worse, especially in terms of toughness. Guishan adopted a conscription system, most of the soldiers were professional soldiers, and they had special religious beliefs as a prison, so that their low-level soldiers did not dare to resist the leadership of the superior nobles, and with the various restrictions on their family descendants in the rear, these soldiers were extremely outstanding in fighting spirit and tenacity. It's just that just like this, an ordinary army can have such quality, which shows its strength. Zhuge Liang said.

Zhou Yu also put away some of the contempt for Guishuang in his heart and faced up to this army. There is a complete difference between facing hostilities head-on in person and watching the battle from afar, the latter can only see the arrangement of the two armies, but cannot carefully see the specific situation and many details of the battle between the two armies. Coming to the battle in person, Zhou Yu felt the difficulty of the Guishan Army. With a heavy shield and a high armor rate, combined with a dense array and high fighting spirit, this army was enough to make Zhou Yu look sideways.

"If the sergeants and soldiers of the Kushan Army are of this quality, I'm afraid we will have to be more cautious about the annexation plan of the Kushan. However, the opponent's combat method seems to be this kind of tortoiseshell formation tactics, which is too single and easy to target, so maybe start from this point. Zhou Yu said.

While Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were chatting, the melee in the center of the battlefield became more and more intense. The Kushan soldiers in front launched a near-suicidal attack, and the Kushan army behind regrouped and continued to charge forward with huge shields and spears in hand.

The crossbowmen who retreated before Zhou Yu's army had moved to the two flanks of the army, and at the same time, the tower shield soldiers who had resisted the first wave of attack also moved to the sides to protect the front of them, and the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers took over the melee. The nimble sword and shield soldiers far surpass other arms in the melee, the neat pikemen are constantly barreling and harvesting in the front, and the sword and shield soldiers are cleaning up the remnants of the enemy in the rear, and the killing speed is not terrifying.

"Shoot!"

With Zhou Yu's order, the crossbowmen who had reloaded their crossbow arrows aimed at the Guishan army that had been reorganized in front, and the arrows rained down. The Kushan Army, which had finally regrouped its formation, was a little chaotic again.

"Damn! The front army accelerated the charge, let the cavalry dispatch, and be sure to destroy the opponent's crossbowmen as soon as possible! Asafa roared.

The lethality of the crossbowmen is not very strong, but the damage to the formation and morale is extremely serious. After all, with such a dense number of arrows hitting the body, even if it is protected by a giant shield and armor, the impact caused by the impact is difficult to resist. Moreover, in the face of the fire of ten thousand arrows, the general soldiers will be worried and afraid, so as to slow down or unconsciously dodge or even retreat. No matter how high the fighting spirit of the Kushan Army is, it will also have the instinct of fear in the face of such a dense arrow attack, and it is difficult to estimate the impact of the battle.

"If more than half of the army are strong crossbowmen who are familiar with swords and guns, I'm afraid these Kushan troops will not be a cause for concern. It's a pity that the power of the hand crossbow is too small, and it can't play much role against these Kushan troops in iron armor. Zhou Yu said with a little regret.

"Gong Jin, do you think crossbowmen are the future development direction of the army?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Your Majesty has privately said that the longer the range, the more you can take the initiative and advantage, and long-range troops are the best way to develop in the future. If the manufacturing level of my Da Chu's hand crossbow and strong crossbow can be increased by a few more grades, and its use is simple, its power is strengthened, and its range is increased, and a large number of equipment is used, I am afraid that there will be no one in the world who can be defeated. Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with essence.

"You said it simply, how can the manufacturing level of the bow and crossbow be so easy to break through? The reason why today's bow and crossbow manufacturing level has improved so rapidly is because many technologies were lost in the pre-Qin period, but now they are just picked up again, and they are basically eating the old book. It would be good if this kind of increase in speed could last for two or three years at most, but it would be wishful thinking to make a rapid breakthrough like this in the future. And now the manufacture of bows and crossbows has reached a bottleneck, and it is more difficult to improve it later on. If you want to achieve your ideal requirements, it is impossible to do it without decades. Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and said, he was proficient in the art of craftsmanship, and he was speechless for Zhou Yu's "wishful thinking".

"And do you know how much a good crossbow costs? It is already the limit to equip the whole army with hand crossbows, and if you want everyone to have a strong crossbow, even the wealth of my Dachu today cannot support it at all. What's more, all you need is a good crossbow that is difficult to forge and expensive to cost, and one good crossbow is enough to train one or two more ordinary soldiers of Da Chu. Like you, who is only 5,000 soldiers, but has nearly 1,000 strong crossbowmen, are you not satisfied? As soon as he talked about internal affairs, Zhuge Liang couldn't help it.

"The soldiers of my Great Chu are basically cultivated according to the standards of Wu Qi and Wei Wushu, and the amount of money and food spent is simply incalculable. If it weren't for His Majesty's mastery of internal affairs and the way to make money, it would be good if the former Han family could support an army of two or three hundred thousand. ”

"But it's a pity! My Da Chu has the qualifications to train Wei Wushu, but there is no way to cultivate Wei Wushu, although it is an elite, but it is still much worse than Wei Wushu in the past. If hundreds of thousands of troops have the ability of Wei Wushu, what is the reason why is it enough to worry about Guishuang. Zhou Yu said with a little regret.

Wei Wushu can be said to be a legend in the early and middle Warring States period, and he is simply an invincible representative, and he is completely well-deserved to say that he is one when he is ten. At that time, Wu Qi led Wei Wushu, and there were seventy-two battles, all of which were won sixty-four times, and the rest were all draws, and basically never lost. In the battle of Yin and Jin, Wu Qi defeated the Qin army ten times as much as he had with 50,000 Wei troops. It confirms that sentence, there are not many soldiers, but fine.

"Wu Zitian is a genius, if he was born in the present dynasty, his achievements may be difficult to compare with Sun Tzu and the Marquis of Huaiyin. It's a pity that his method of training troops has not been passed down, otherwise my Great Chu's combat power can at least be doubled. Zhuge Liang also said regretfully.

As a representative figure of the military family, Sun Tzu is good at using military strategies, Han Xin is good at commanding troops, and Wu Qi is good at leading troops and training. In terms of ability, the three are indistinguishable. But he can't stand Yuan Shu, and now he has opened a plug-in for internal affairs, and the amount of money and food is outrageous. At that time, Wei Wushu, who was limited by resources at most, maintained a scale of 50,000 to 70,000, and Yuan Shu can now directly handle it according to the scale of one million.

With the same resources, the soldiers trained by Da Chu can be three or four with one is basically the limit, but Wu Qi can do it with one as ten, and the combat power of the unit is estimated to be about to catch up with the military soul legion, I have to say that it is indeed a god-like existence. You don't see the Wei Wushu led by Wu Qi and the Wei Wushu without Wu Qi, the gap between the two is simply a world of difference. After lacking Wu Qi's training method, with the continuous passage of Wei Wushu's core, it could not be replenished, and Wei Wushu's combat power in the later period was only about the same as the current Chu army, or even worse.

If a military training god like Wu Qi exists now, Yuan Shu is afraid that the power of the whole country will also be helped. This is the big guy who can at least double the hard power of the national army, even if Yuan Shu is supplied, it is estimated that Yuan Shu will not say anything.

"General Ji Ling's training ability is already top-notch, especially in terms of the loyalty of the soldiers and the execution of orders and prohibitions. It's still much worse than Wu Zi. The army forged by generals such as Gao Shun and Koji Yi is invincible, but it cannot be popularized throughout the army, and can only be used for a few elites. His Majesty has been searching for Wu Zi's inheritance, but so far he has only obtained his medicinal bath method, but not his military training method, and I don't know if it still exists in the world. Zhou Yu sighed.

"I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life. This kind of inheritance is already available but unattainable, and Da Chu is now unprecedented stronger than in the history books, so why force it. Instead of pinning your trust on Wu Zi's inheritance, it is better to be yourself. As His Majesty said, wouldn't we have trained and fought without our sages? Since we know that our army's method of training is far from the limit, we should work hard to make up for it. "Zhuge Liang is open-minded.

"What I said is good, the realm that the sages can achieve, we can reach sooner or later, or even surpass." Zhou Yu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, full of confidence.
