Final Chapter. 1. Front-line arrangement

Dating back to the origins of human civilization, war, a violent form of social interaction, has always followed the footsteps of human beings. The causes of war are also varied, it may be a fight for a fire, a water source, a herd of livestock, a cave, or simply a show of force, venting emotions, and so on. Today, the reasons for the various wars in the Huayu Continent are completely detached from the material level, at least they generally sound much more advanced: there are national righteousness, grievances and entanglements, there is a domination of the world, and there are many reasons for rebellion and rebellion...... However, the essence of war has not changed in any way because of the change in name, and it is just about competing for resources.

According to the ancient rites of the Huayu Continental War, if the two countries are ready to officially start a war, they must send envoys to each other in advance, submit war letters to each other, agree on the time and place of the battle, and discuss the agreement to participate in the war, the number of troops sent by each family and the configuration of troops. The war letter is full of modest and respectful words, the two monarchs complain to each other, and express their pain and helplessness for provoking war. After the call for the war letter was completed, when the envoys were ready to return to their homeland, they would also invite the literati to give speeches, and the female musicians would be entertained, and the king himself would preside over the farewell banquet, and send a team of honor guards to escort the foreign envoys back to their homeland.

When the agreed date arrives, the two armies will be on both sides of the border line, orderly arranging chariots and horses, and assembling formations; If the opponent's build-up is slow, you must watch the opponent on the other side of the border and not cross the line even half a step.

When the two sides have confirmed that the formation is complete, all the troops retreat en masse, leaving only an equal number of horses and chariots; The chariot captain will hold the bronze changge in his hand and slap the front baffle vigorously to make a crisp sound, asking if the opponent is ready to start charging; If the other side responds with a long fight, the two armies can officially declare the start of the war!

In ancient times, the quality of chariots was uneven, and the parts were also very easy to be damaged, and after the chariots of the two armies missed a charge, the men and horses were often still safe and sound, but many of the chariots had to end up with a broken wheel and an unsustainable end; After rushing out of battle, both sides turn around before the opposing camp, and the unharmed chariots continue to catch the charge; Damaged vehicles that are unsustainable are equivalent to exiting the battlefield sequence and can be circled back to their own team from the side of the battlefield.

After the single-class convoy was divided, it entered the stage of the melee of the army. At this stage, the soldiers on both sides must also be fair to catch and kill; If the enemy falls to the ground wounded, he must not be cruelly mended, nor must he capture a veteran who has to be white. So what should a soldier do if he has wounded the enemy, and no one comes to him to continue to catch and fight, nor can he make up for the defeat of his opponent, let alone join other warbands to defeat the enemy? The answer is simple: watch the battle!

After the victory and defeat of the main battlefield have been divided, one side is defeated and flees, and the soldiers of the winning side can take advantage of the victory to pursue in order to expand the results! However, even if it is not rude to chase down the defeated army, there is a strict definition: fifty paces away. That is to say, after 50 paces of pursuit, the victorious side must immediately turn around and return to the team.

This kind of ancient rites, from the perspective of the current soldiers in Huayu Continent, the so-called battle method of the gentleman's battle is really stupid! However, in the social environment at that time, those who did not follow the etiquette of war, even if they could win a great victory, would be recognized by the world as a rude tyrant who had lost their morals, and would be laughed at by other kings and the common people, and would never be supported by the people.

However, as time slowly moved forward, a group of geniuses finally appeared, changing the fighting style of this gentleman's battle, and was also called the Heaven and Earth Spirit Veiners by later generations. These people have created countless tricks and tricks by breaking the traditional rules, and left many books on the art of war and the essence of formations for future generations to learn and practice. It is precisely these wise and wise men who were born out of thin air who created academic categories such as the way of using soldiers, the way of strategy, and the way of combining vertical and horizontal, promoted the technological update of the mode of warfare, and turned the classical tactics of the dispute between gentlemen into the ingenuity of the soldiers.

Since then, the kind of battle in which tens of thousands of troops on both sides fought and ended in a battle of victory with few casualties, has completely become a joke.

The way of war is never static. For example, the horse chariot, which was an important weapon of the ancient country, has long been annihilated in the long river of history. In addition to the national ceremonial guard of the Northern Yan Dynasty, which can barely make up a few imitations of later generations, those rough martial artists who don't know a single big character may not know that this kind of tattered thing once existed!

The so-called "you are singing and waiting for us", the tactics have been updated, and the arms also need to be updated. The chariot has disappeared, so what is the top class of troops in Huayu Continent at the moment? Undoubtedly, the only answer is the word cavalry.

Whether it is a ranger in leather armor, carrying a longbow, and a cross-swords at his waist; It is also a heavy cavalry with men and horses hanging armor and holding a large spear and spear, with the advantages of mobility and impact brought by the war horse under the crotch, it is enough to play a decisive role, or divide the battlefield.

The battlefield fight is different from the battle of the rivers and lakes, one-to-one, one-to-many, and the emphasis is on loneliness; And in group-to-group combat, what is important is the courage of the group. Although there is a person who is desperate and difficult to say, there is also a saying that the army is defeated like a mountain and cannot be defeated. Although the group of galls is easier to find than the lone courage, once the group of galls is defeated, it is the result of the lack of skills to return to heaven and the gods are difficult to save.

The head of the world's troops is the cavalry, so the head of the world's strange soldiers must be the Mobei grassland! And the Mobei Iron Cavalry, which is recognized as invincible in the world, has now also stepped on the border line of Zhongshan Road in Youbei......

Zhongshan Road of Youbei 3rd Road is located in the hinterland of Youbei and has a large area of border with Mobei grassland. At the northernmost end of Zhongshan Road, there is a small county with a radius of less than 100 miles, called Taining County. Due to its protruding geographical location to the north, it was plagued by grassland bandits all year round, and gradually transformed into a functional and strategic county seat. Today, there are only more than 10,000 people left in this county; Even if you add some surrounding villages and towns that are also under the jurisdiction of this county, there are only 30,000 people.

At present, the Shenshi tribe, the overlord of the Mobei grassland and the ASEAN grassland, has always been eyeing the three roads in the north, so the entire northern border of Zhongshan Road has also changed the front line of the war. In order to resist the pressure of the Chaolu army, Emperor Xingping issued two summons, first requisitioned Gu Hui, the prefect of Jincheng, from Guanbei Road, and ordered him to quickly enter Beijing to worship the commander, and lead the military and civilians on Zhongshan Road, etc., to completely eliminate the "bandits" in the north; Later, he requisitioned a grain supervisor from the Bingzi Battalion of the Golden Armor Army, and gave him a sword of the Son of Heaven, giving him the right to arbitrarily go into battle, and lead all the soldiers and horses on the Zhongshan Road to defeat any enemy who dared to violate the border.

Gu Hui, the magistrate of Jincheng, took the stage as a district and county official, and was responsible for managing all the important civil affairs of Zhongshan Road, including the logistics and baggage matters of the 60,000 Zhongshan Metropolitan Army. Although he does not have the official title officially appointed by the imperial court at the moment, after all, he is an orthodox literati from a wealthy family! Even if this battle is a stalemate of attrition by him, as long as the whole front does not collapse and the whole army is not annihilated; Then his future career in Gu Zhi County is still bright with the naked eye!

And what about the little-known Taining general, Ding Shuo? There is no such innocent background. No one would have thought that this Taining general would actually be from the Golden Armor Army! Don't look at the name of the Golden Armor Army, which sounds majestic enough; But in fact, all the local people in Youbei, who doesn't know the stinky foundation of this Yan family's private army?

Quasi-origin This golden armor army is an old team formed by Yan Wuqiu, the founding emperor of Youbei. And the reason why his old man formed this team was to guard against the Taibai Iron Army, which is known as the strongest army in the world. What their original combat effectiveness was, let's not talk about it; But this Yan family's private army, as if it had been cursed, began to fall on its heels twenty years ago, and has been falling until today!

When the bad luck of the Golden Armor Army first appeared, it was the battle of the Eastern Customs Twenty years ago. At that time, the commander of the Jin family army was Yan Fujiu's father, Yan Wu, the king of Qi. At the cost of losing eighty percent of his combat power, the old king of Qi achieved the first heroic name of the Qingmang Sword God Yue Haishan.

And those old Qi kings gritted their teeth, and would rather endure the grievances of the people in Youbei who had been scolded for thousands of years, but also forcibly retreated the troops, and the golden armor weapons that were retained, after a lot of training and reorganization to supplement the soldiers, the position of the commander fell into the hands of King Huai.

And this His Royal Highness King Huai is also a god man, when he mastered this golden armor forbidden army that had not yet recovered, he actually had the idea of forcing the defeated king - Yan Hunt to step down! After some operation, he successfully led the Jinjia Forbidden Army to mutiny in the camp and besieged the Fengjing Imperial Palace. And then...... Then he was killed by Guo Shuang, the young marquis of the Taibai Army, and led the Taibai Army to kill a person on his back, and even his own head became His Majesty Yan Hunt's favorite wine glass.

Looking at the world, the team that participated in the mutiny and murder of the monarch will never want to leave any traces of existence. However, this army is his Yan family's private army after all, and the commanders of the past dynasties are all Yan family members, and they don't even have the opportunity to change their faces, otherwise they will rebel against their ancestors, they will be rebellious, and they will be laughed at by everyone in the world.

Yan Hunt, who was bitten by his own dog, finally learned to be smart. He reorganized the Jinjia Army and became the Jinjiawei, and handed over the position of commander to his prodigal youngest son, Yan Qinghong. It stands to reason that there should be no problem with this Lao Tzu sitting in the country and his own son in charge of the army, right? But who knew that Yan Qinghong's guy was too prodigal. Until the total annihilation of the Golden Guard, he had not been to the barracks a few times; There is even some gossip among the people, saying that these golden guards are an abandoned son deliberately thrown out by Yan Qinghong in order to compete with the crown prince for the throne!

Today, it has been nearly two years since Emperor Xingping ascended the throne, and the Jinjiawei, as the foundation of the ancestors, has also been re-established again. However, this private army of the Yan family, which has a brilliant record and a long history, has now become a garbage heap shared by all armies!
