Chapter 870: Flaws

After the army spread out and attacked from all sides, Han Dang and the others, who had been attacking head-on, suddenly felt a lot less pressure.

There were enemies in all directions, and they were all elite and strong troops, and the Zhao army had to spread out the soldiers and defend evenly, which also made the defense of every place be diluted.

"No flaw is the biggest flaw!" Sun Jian shook his head and said: "A defense without flaws is destined to be not very strong at all points. The defensive formation of the trial and arrangement is not bad, layer by layer, echelon configuration, but the cooperation between the various departments is still too rusty, and they want to protect their own elites too much, and the army on the periphery is basically full of miscellaneous soldiers, without a trace of toughness. If you can intersperse some elites in the middle, just a little, its defense can be increased by a grade, which will be more conducive to the overall defense. ”

"No one is perfect, he is good at military strategic command, but he is not a general, and arranging troops is not his forte, it is good to be able to do this, but there are not many generals in our army who can do it so meticulously." Xun Yu Dao.

"Wentai, you have made a lot of progress in arranging troops, and you can see it so thoroughly." Guo Jia said with a little surprise.

Although Sun Jian's two sentences are simple, they go straight to the point, revealing the essence and flaws of the trial and matching array.

Smiling slightly, Sun Jian said indifferently: "The younger generation has grown up, and they are so good, we veterans can't be left behind, we have to improve." Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame to fall under these juniors in the future? ”

"That's true, but I'm afraid it's inevitable to be overtaken by these juniors, as long as we don't get eliminated, it's good." Guo Jia thought of those demonic imps, took a sip of wine, shook his head and said helplessly.

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves!" Yuan Shu looked at these old people with different faces around him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Shouldn't you feel relieved to see the cultivated juniors surpass you?" Being able to cultivate apprentices who are stronger than oneself is a good master. ”

"I am relieved, but I just feel that I am old, and Jia is thinking about whether to retire in a few years." Guo Jia pretended to be helpless.

"Under the age of thirty, you want to consider going to retire?" With green tendons on his forehead, Yuan Shu clenched his fists with both hands, forcibly suppressed the urge to beat Guo Jia violently, and glared at him angrily: "It's not enough to paddle every day, you are now thinking directly about retirement." Believe it or not, I stopped your tribute wine and Yulu, and let you go to the deep mountains and old forests to recuperate in peace? ”

Guo Jia smiled and hurriedly said, "How can it, Jia is just joking." His Majesty is about to dominate the world, and Jia still wants to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, and glorify the ancestors. Even if you retire, you have to wait to enjoy enough... No, it is to help His Majesty complete the great cause and then retreat. ”

Hearing Guo Jia's insincere cover-up words, Yuan Shu smiled coldly and said to Tian Fengyu: "Yuan Hao, Fengxiao is estimated to be too idle during this time, and the bones of leisure are loose. You go back and sort it out, and give him half of your affairs, I don't want to see him idle for three months. ”

"No." Tian Feng glanced at Guo Jia and said calmly.

Seeing this, the surrounding Jia Xu and Xun You silently stayed away from Guo Jia's side to avoid touching Yuan Shu and Tian Feng's moldy heads. The paddling trio has always harmed each other, and they fly separately when disaster comes.

"Your Majesty, I am not good at governing, I am afraid that I will not be entrusted by Your Majesty." When Guo Jia heard this, he hurriedly said sadly.

"It doesn't matter if you are not good at governing, you are responsible for serving tea and water to Yuan Hao, you will accompany Yuan Hao as long as he works, if you dare to leave early, leave early for one more day, take leave for one day and work for three more days, if you dare to pick a child, I will let Zhongkang take you to do it."

As soon as Yuan Shu's voice fell, Xu Chu, who was standing with his back to everyone like a sculpture, turned his eyes and looked at Guo Jia without emotion.

Guo Jia suddenly shuddered, and didn't dare to say more. Xu Chu and Dian Wei both belong to the kind of reckless men who have no scheming and admit death, and they will meticulously carry out Yuan Shu's orders, and they are not afraid of offending people at all. Even if Yuan Shu now asks Xu Chu to hang Guo Jia up and beat him, Xu Chu will also execute it directly without saying a word. In Jiangdong, the die-hard loyalty and honesty of these two people are notorious, I don't know how many people they have offended, Guo Jia doesn't want to ask for trouble.

Seeing Guo Jia's stunned look, Yuan Shu's heart was extremely comfortable. This crow's mouth, he couldn't help but want to teach a lesson for a long time, and now he is instantly comfortable.

"When it comes to this kind of defensive warfare, my Da Chu is best at Xu Rong." Seeing the embarrassment in the field, Sun Jian changed the topic and said: "If it is on Yuan Shao's side and participates in the arrangement of this formation, I am afraid that the difficulty of our army to break through this formation will have to be raised by more than one level." ”

"Xu Rong." At the same time, the middle-aged man who was silent but made people feel extremely stable and trustworthy appeared in everyone's minds.

Although Xu Rong's presence in history is not high, his record is extremely fierce. defeated Cao Cao and defeated Sun Jian head-on twice, which shows his ability to command troops. It's just a pity that I was born at the wrong time and didn't meet a master.

"When I first met him in Jinling. However, if you talk a few words about the art of war, you can feel its talent. Its ability to command troops is the top in the world, and the arrangement of troops is a must, especially in the study of defensive warfare, I am afraid that no one in the world can match it. A lot of what I've learned in this area is something I've learned from talking to them. Sun Jian's appreciation for Xu Rong was beyond words.

When it comes to Xu Rong, Jia Xu also said: "Xu Rong is indeed a rare general in the world, when the princes begged for Dong, if Dong Zhuo could send Xu Rong to garrison the tiger prison with 100,000 Xiliang elites, it would be absolutely difficult for the princes' coalition army to advance." ”

"The trial is longer than the rough, and there are indeed certain flaws in the details, but this is not all his fault. There are already many miscellaneous soldiers in the Zhao army, and there are too few elites. The elite under Yuan Shao's command had been fought hard as early as in the battle with Gongsun Zhan, and the army had been frantically expanded this year, and the overall quality of the army had declined significantly. Now it is just forcibly relying on Yuan Shao's monarch talent and Gao Lan's legion talent to maintain a certain combat power, but the quality of the soldiers is still the same, and it is impossible to wield like a veteran. Xun You couldn't help but say a fair word for the trial.

Generally speaking, after the frenzied expansion of the army, because the recruits have not been baptized on the battlefield, not only their combat ability is low, but their psychological quality is also not good, and they will not only not play much role in real battles, but are also likely to lag behind, so the combat strength of the entire army often decreases instead of increasing.

The reason why Yuan Shaojun's current situation is like this is completely supported by Yuan Shao and Gao Ran. Otherwise, according to the arrangement of the trial, a group of recruits put the front row as cannon fodder, and they were already taken away and collapsed by Cheng Pu when he charged.

But these recruits have only been added with fanatical buffs, but their own quality and combat power have not changed, and it is okay to be cannon fodder, and it is basically impossible to play some tactics.

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, there are so many recruits under her hands, and you can't do it even if you want to play with the fine arrangement, so it's good to be able to do this step." Xun Yu Dao.
