Chapter 982: Fight and retreat
Yangzhou Wudang Fei army landed on the river bank to the Yan army Long Xiang army launched an assault, Zang Ba led the soldiers to fight back, the initial contact in the Long Xiang army with skillful cooperation and exquisite battle array to make the other party helpless, but its shield array was opened by the Yangzhou army general Zhang Fei alone, the battle situation has now entered the melee, the mountain Yue foot soldiers have been fighting with fierce beasts in the mountains and forests for many years, each has practiced a strong physique and agile reaction, these people are the best soldiers, If it is refined, it will be more powerful. At this time, Wudang Feijun has been in the army for half a year, and under the training of Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei, it already has the quality of a regular army, although there is still a big gap compared to the Yan Army's ace Long Xiang Army, but in the chaos, if you only talk about the combat ability of individual soldiers, this gap will be narrowed a lot, and the two sides are also at a standoff on the scene.
In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, the Yan army, especially its trump card Long Xiang army, can be described as the top in the world, under the guarantee of constant strict training and nutritious food, even in the face of these strong Shanyue soldiers, they will never fall behind, you must know that whether it is Sun Ce's command or Liu Bei's soldiers are to avoid melee with Shanyue people. At this time, the soldier's fighting skills and battle formation experience will play a greater role, and it is not necessary for one side to have an advantage if he is strong!
For the Longxiang army, the experience of the battle array is not a problem, the Jizhou War is connected with the battle of Sili, and the most complete combat power in the Yan army is Xu Huang's Longxiang army, at this time, the veterans under Gongming in the eight main armies are also the most, as a general, they know that the veterans in the army are treasures, maybe their physical fitness and martial arts will not be as good as some recruits with excellent conditions, but most of the people who really want to win the duel between the two sides are veterans, especially on the battlefield, their experience can often create miracles, veteran thieves, veteran slippery, In the fierce melee, they can save their physical strength to kill and injure the enemy, and their well-informed knowledge and the sea of corpses and blood also allow them to maintain extraordinary calmness in any kind of sudden situation, in modern terms, their psychological quality is extremely strong.
Fighting skills are a necessary skill for soldiers, and in the drill it is also divided into two kinds, battle formation and melee, the former is more inclined to the cooperation between teams, and the connection of each action and the grasp of the timing must be tempered! This is the theme of the drill outline, all these tactical movements must be strictly mastered by each soldier, in order to give full play to their power when the two armies face off, and the advance of the shield formation of the dragon army with the spear formation is the way.
In the melee is more of a reflection of the soldiers' personal ability, in addition to enhancing the basic quality through the intensive study and improvement of food, Yan Wang and his generals are also constantly studying more favorable routines, the melee between the two armies is not a group of rivers and lakes, the exquisite moves and fancy movements have almost no room for development, often the kind of straightforward pursuit of speed and strength is the most effective, under the efforts of Liu Yi's three brothers and the generals, Gathering the wisdom of everyone, he also created a set of knife skills and a set of marksmanship as the basic routines that Yan soldiers must practice.
Among the fierce generals in the Yan army, there are as many as nine people just listed on the spectrum of the generals, and there are many generals who can be ranked first-class, and they also have their own tricks, of course, Liu Yi cannot train all the soldiers to have the general skills of military generals, so in this set of marksmanship and knife skills, Zhao Yun and Ganning have contributed the greatest strength, Zilong's basic skills are recognized as the first in the Yan army, and Xingba's experience and body skills in hand-to-hand combat are also incomparable.
In this veterans' hand-me-down is also essential, sometimes their skills do not have a fixed routine, and even look a little different, but when some recruits are unwilling to practice in detail, there will be colleagues to teach them experience, this posture is really not good-looking, and it is particularly awkward to use, but it is very likely to become your way to save your life on the battlefield, if it is not for the strict order of King Yan, these veterans who have exchanged blood and even life may not necessarily teach you.
And now these are used in actual combat, the feelings of the recruits are deeper, in fact, they are called recruits are just compared with those veterans who have been in a hundred battles, many of them have joined the Longxiang Army for two years, and there have been many confrontation exercises with other main forces in the usual exercises, and they have also experienced the test of actual combat in the battle of Qingzhou before, and this time they came with Zang Ba and the two battalions of soldiers with the strongest combat strength in the Longxiang Army. When the Flying Army became an army, they faced such a strong enemy in their first battle, and I don't know if it was their luck or misfortune.
Generally speaking, the long weapons on the battle array are the first, the spears and spears are the blades that the soldiers need to be proficient in, and the sword and shield can often play a greater role in the melee night battle, and the Yan army will not relax here, considering the physical exertion of the soldiers in wartime, the shield on the left arm of the sword and shield hand is all lashed, which is not the same as the giant shield used by the first-line soldiers to discharge the shield array, and the material is mostly made of hard wood, and it is necessary to pay attention to the weight while taking into account the hardness. And all this has to be built on the basis of many practices, as long as it is not in the face of the cavalry to take advantage of the momentum of the slash, the round shield of the left arm of the infantry army can defend against the slash and stab of any weapon of the opponent, this effect is just like the hard leather armor they wear, sacrificing flexibility to increase the defense is not for Liu Yi to take, which will be divided in detail in the new army of the Yan army in the future.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no hoplite in the strict sense, the main reason was the lag in the development of equipment, and now the chain armor for the infantry has been developed for their use in the equipment station, which is still being improved, and they must find the right balance between defense and flexibility, and then they can become the main force of the Yan army. At this time, in addition to the ironclad army of the Xuanwu battalion, the most important infantry of the major main armies was equipped with hard leather armor! This is also Liu Yi's decision after comprehensive consideration and combined with a huge amount of practical data, but what supports Lansheng to do so is a technological innovation of Yandi, leather nitrate!
It is with the emergence of this technology that the hard leather armor of the Yan Army has excellent toughness and hard enough at the same time, if the general Pu knife is cut on such a leather armor with all its strength on the opposite side, it can only bring a certain amount of light injury to the soldiers at most, maybe it has some gaps between the defense and the iron armor or bamboo armor used before, but the higher flexibility is enough to make up for this! Of course, these experiments are only based on a slight overestimation of the normal level, if you let Liu Yi or Dian Wei Zhang Fei and others go down with a Pu knife in their hands, even if the blade is blunt and smash you to death, then again, in the face of such a fierce general, what armor you wear is in vain.
The transformation of advanced technology and economic strength into the combat power of the army is not only reflected in the new equipment such as the Sky Cannon, Xiangyang Cannon, the Mofang Divine Crossbow, and the Aolong Warship, but also the foundation of the armor and blade is the focus of the Yan Army's promotion. As the Liu family, which has just emerged in the past ten years but has vaguely become the largest business in the world, their income is strictly separated from the official income, of course, most of these incomes have been invested by Liu Yi in the construction of Yandi, but whether the public is public or private, this account must be clear.
Today's battle has already made a judgment from the timing of the enemy's troops, the equipment carried by the Long Xiang army and the tactics to be used will of course be aimed at night battles, even if Zhang Fei disrupted their formation and rhythm with amazing martial arts, but after Zang Ba made every effort to block Zhang Yide's advance, the quality of the soldiers who are good at dealing with sudden situations is also immediately reflected, they may not be able to stop Zhang Fei's footsteps for a while, but they will never include the Shanyue soldiers who are not in the Fei's army, and Zhang Yide is only a little broken, The Yan army in other places is already fighting back!
In addition to Guan Yu's Danyang elite soldiers, the Shanyue soldiers were still the first time to encounter the Han army that could not fall behind in a one-on-one battle with them. In the melee in the night, the soldiers on both sides know that the key is in a "ruthless" word, who is ruthless enough who can survive in such a life-and-death struggle for a longer time, often a Shanyue soldier will be immediately put down by the Longxiang sergeant who followed after cutting down the other party, and vice versa, but the Yan sergeant has more to resist the fatal blow for his comrades regardless of his own injury, such a situation is extremely rare in the Wudang Fei Army, Yan Wang said, into my camp are all siblings, It is only in such a great war that we can truly appreciate the meaning of siblings.
In the melee, there is almost no big difference between being injured and falling to the ground and dying, and if you are not slashed by the other party, you will be trampled by your own comrades. However, many of the Long Xiang soldiers will make a final attack before swallowing their last breath even if they fall, and looking around the entire battlefield, there is no shortage of scenes where they cut off the enemy's feet or hold the opponent's legs to facilitate their comrades' attack, which is the momentum of the Yan army's trump card.
The iron spear in Zang Ba's hand continues to bear the amazing strength from the opponent's eight snake spears, almost every time he has to retreat to eliminate the fierce force, as a general's grasp of the battlefield is extremely keen, Zhang Fei knows very well in his heart, if he can't defeat or repel Zang Ba in front of him in a short period of time, the Feijun is definitely not the opponent of the Long Xiang Army, although they are brave, they can not be proportional to the other party in the training time, and the impression of the Motianling back then, in addition to the madness of the war, The growth of Yan Jun's combat power had already exceeded his imagination, and the fear in their eyes was only a moment when they rose to their might!
But although the opponent in front of him is weaker than himself in terms of strength, his toughness is extremely strong, and the few soldiers holding giant shields around him also play an important role in covering him. At this time, he didn't have the heart to accuse Zang Ba of cowardice, because from the perspective of a general, his approach was extremely correct, this is not a fighting general, as a general, he must not be brave and ruthless! After sweeping away the other party's acquaintance with a sweep with all his might, Zhang Fei finally stopped the pace that he had been advancing, reached out and took out the arrow from his waist and threw it high in the sky.
Wu Yong such as Zhang Yide had to stop, but Zang Ba did not have much joy in his heart, in fact, when it came to martial arts, he naturally had to be under Zhang Fei, but the gap would never be as obvious as shown in the field, the opponent was trying his best to defeat the opponent quickly, and his retreat had the intention of eliminating the momentum of the enemy general. Obviously, at this time, Zhang Fei had seen through his intentions, and when he still had the strength to spare, he no longer blindly rushed wildly, but gave up Zang Ba to the right to attack, and this change made Xuan Gao, who was advancing by retreating, have to take the initiative to keep up, if he and Zhang Fei generally only attack the enemy soldiers, it is difficult for anyone to stop, but his lethality cannot be compared with the comparison between the two sides! Even in such a chaotic situation, Zhang Yide was still able to calmly assess the situation and make the most beneficial choice for his side, and this alone did not cause King Yan to call him a general, and the arrow he sent out must be calling for reinforcements.
However, Fang is Zhang Yide has been attacking Zang Ba, and now that the other party has taken the initiative to follow him, there is more room to play, it is not easy to defeat this tough enemy, but it is much easier to get rid of its entanglement, but seeing Zhang Fei's spear wielding to find the place where the Yan army has the upper hand, every time his body is everywhere, there must be a burst of people turning on their backs, I don't know how many Long Xiang soldiers have fallen under the Zhangba snake spear, and with the general's encouragement, Shanyue soldiers can often regroup! In this way, the upper hand gained by the Yan army with its combat power was once again tied!
In the night, Zang Ba's brows furrowed and loosened several times, and the last rapid drum sound sounded behind him, this is the signal for the Yan army to retreat, the battle continues like this, at most, both sides will lose, and the opponent's reinforcements may arrive at any time, once it is impacted by it at the time of the melee, I am afraid that the quality of the Yilong Xiang army is very likely to collapse, retreat is the choice made by Zang Ba after analyzing the situation at the moment!
