Chapter 860: Retreat
"How could Xiliang soldiers be so terrifying? That's not the only way to do that! Seeing the fierce performance of Xiliang Tieqi, Zu Mao's eyes widened and he was shocked.
"The hardest soldier in the world is the Xiliang soldiers, this is an army that has come out of hell. Each of them has experienced countless trials and tribulations, and their hearts are as hard as iron, and it is not surprising that this terrifying existence has exploded with such a powerful combat power. Sun Jian was also shocked in his heart, but he still said calmly. Xiliang Soldier, this is a class with the fanatical aura of Han Dangjun.
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought that now Xiliang is thriving under the governance of Your Majesty, if it has been peaceful for a long time in the future, what will happen to the current Xiliang soldiers?" Jia Xuhu said.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. The horror of the Xiliang army was largely caused by the misery of the people of Xiliang. To what extent is the life of the people of Xiliang miserable? Yi Zi cannibalism, gnawing on tree bark and grass roots, eating soil and dying, these are not just a few words in the history books, but a bloody reality.
As Sun Jian said, the Xiliang soldiers came out of hell, so they have such a strong will and high morale, even if they die, they are not afraid. But when the troubled times are over and the world is peaceful, what will happen to the Xiliang soldiers? I am afraid that it will inevitably be like the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, quickly degenerate and corrupt.
Yuan Shu was so shrewd, he immediately understood what Jia Xu meant, and said in a deep voice with a firm gaze: "It is true that the army that came out of hell is the most powerful, but this is not a reason for me to keep hell. Although it is difficult to build such an army in the peaceful and prosperous era, it is not impossible. Faith, honor, treatment, and competition, as long as you do these well, even if you can't train a male soldier like Xiliang Tieqi, it won't be too bad. As long as this number of elites is guaranteed, it will be enough. ”
When everyone present heard this, they were all amazed by Yuan Shu's open-mindedness and foresight. Maybe Yuan Shu doesn't think it himself, but in the eyes of everyone, he can indeed be regarded as a man who loves the people like a son and is a benevolent king.
This is the difference between the values of the ancients and the modern people. Yuan Shu thought that he had done a very harsh job, and asked the people under his command to help him work, but he only missed some benefits, and as a result, these people were grateful to Dade. I have to say that the people in ancient times were really too simple and too demanding. As long as they can live in most cases, you will be considered a qualified emperor, and if your life is better, you will be a Ming Jun. And if someone like Yuan Shu can give a little sweetness and let them have a head, they can basically be linked to the Holy Monarch.
……
The madness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry directly shocked Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and in the face of such a terrifying and fearless enemy, they decisively gave up the idea of continuing to charge brutally.
If you continue to take the lead and kill like this, I am afraid that you will take away dozens of enemies at most, and these two fierce generals of "ten thousand enemies" will have to be planted here.
Although the two are not afraid of death, they are not stupid. exchanging his life for dozens of Xiliang Iron Riders, it's not worth dying like this. And the Xiliang Iron Horse in front of them brought them this sense of threat.
In the past, he led the army to charge, even if the enemy soldiers were too fierce, such as the Youzhou Iron Cavalry under Gongsun Zhan, they also knew fear. When they killed a dozen or so enemy soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables, even if they were not afraid of death, the surrounding enemy soldiers would instinctively cower and restrain their hands and feet, so that their charging and killing became more unstoppable and reckless.
But this is not the case with the Xiliang Iron Rider in front of them, these monsters simply don't even have the instinct to fear, no matter how fierce they are, they will kill them without changing their faces and not afraid of death.
The lack of "cooperation" of the enemy army, and the lack of strength of their own soldiers, made it infinitely more difficult for Yan Liang and Wen Chou to defeat the enemy army in the usual way, and it became difficult to implement. Even if Yan Liang and Wen Chou were combined, it would be of little use to use the combination technique, at most, the number of soldiers who could be killed would increase from dozens to hundreds, three or five times.
The cavalry does not have an advantage in numbers, and there is too much difference in combat power, and the only advantage is probably that Yan Liangwen and Chou are both stronger than Hua Xiong's martial arts. But seeing Hua Xiong, who was surrounded and protected by the Xiliang Legion, Yan Liang and Wen Chou only felt powerless.
"Huaxiong Pifu, can you dare to fight?" Yan Liang swung his knife again and hacked a Xiliang soldier to death, shouting angrily.
Hua Xiong turned a deaf ear to this. If there was only one of them, Yan Liang or Wen Chou, he would still have the heart to compete with one or two. Although he knows that he is not an opponent, he is not without the strength to fight. But now that these two people are together, Hua Xiong is not stupid, how can he come forward? These two are perfectly matched, and it is estimated that two or three moves together can kill him under the horse.
"Cowards who hide their heads and tails, there is a kind of you coming out!" The big knife swung and cut off the spears that stabbed around him, and Yan Liang roared angrily.
It was only the first wave, and the next wave of spears hit him in the chest. In desperation, Yan Liang had to lie on the horse with an iron plate bridge to dodge, and then the big knife was rounded again, and the spears that pierced the war horse under the crotch around him flew away one by one.
No way! The cooperation of this group of Xiliang soldiers is too tacit, and they are not afraid of death at all, and they are afraid that they will not be able to leave if they continue to fight!
Yan Liang secretly hated in his heart. He had never stopped abusing Hua Xiong before, and wanted to force Hua Xiong out. I never thought that Huaxiong's concentration was so good, and he was not fooled at all.
In desperation, Yan Liang had no choice but to be embarrassed and reduce his horse's speed to retreat into the army.
After meeting with Wen Chou, who also retreated, Yan Liang said anxiously: "Second brother, what should I do?" ”
Compared with Yan Liang, who has a violent personality, Wen Chou is relatively calm on the battlefield. After calming down, he looked back at the place where the Chinese army was commanding, and saw the Xuanxi Ling Flag waving. Wen Chou understood the meaning of the Ling Qi after watching it for a while, and said to Yan Liang: "Big brother, the military advisor asked us to retreat to the direction where the Chinese army Chunyu Qiong Army was stationed, and introduce the Xiliang Iron Cavalry into the formation to completely eliminate it." ”
"Withdraw?" Yan Liang's face was angry. He had never been so cowardly when he fought with Gongsun Zhan, but now that he was bullied like this, he withdrew like this, how could he bear this breath.
"Big brother, what did you forget to promise Your Majesty? We must follow Mr. Jeonnan's military orders and put the overall situation first. We are only temporarily shifting and luring the enemy deeper. When Xiliang Tie is in the middle of the plan, we can naturally turn around and kill to avenge the revenge of one arrow and wash away the humiliation. Seeing Yan Liang's stubbornness, Wen Chou hurriedly said.
Hearing the word "Your Majesty", Yan Liang, who was furious in his heart, immediately calmed down. As Yuan Shao's right-hand man, Yan conscience is the most important thing in his conscience, even if his own life is second.
Seeing the situation in the field, and thinking of Yuan Shao's advice before leaving, Yan Liang looked at Hua Xiong not far away with a hideous face, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Withdraw!" ”
