Chapter 254: Soldiers are brave
What is the most important thing in the duel between the cavalry? Courage, martial arts, will, or endurance? Zhao Yan and Guo Yan and Zhang Xiu both understand this in their hearts, that is, riding! Skilled warriors often have the perfect use of the horse's strength, their slashing and spurs are all human and horse, and once caught in the middle of a battle, how to move flexibly is also a dependence that can prolong their lives.
Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a mixture of Han and Qiang, and they are proficient in equestrianism before enlisting in the army, which is their innate advantage, while the Iron Cavalry Battalion is more of an acquired experience! Speaking of drills, Liu Yijun can be said to be the most sophisticated among the princes in the world, and their daily drills are all real swords and guns, and the resulting casualties are not few. Zhao Yun once had a long talk with Liu Yi about this matter all night, and finally Liu Yi persuaded him, while doing his best to add protective gear to the soldiers, the intensity of the drill increased unabated, and he would rather be injured in training than lose his life on the battlefield It was regarded as a classic by the soldiers, and the victories in the subsequent battles proved the correctness of this sentence, it is precisely in this way that they can not fall behind in the confrontation with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that dominates the world!
Tens of thousands of cavalry battles, once the battle is in a stalemate, it is not a moment and a half to distinguish the winner and loser, the soldiers on both sides to do a comprehensive contest in all aspects, courage and will at this time can reflect the importance, often determine the victory or defeat is who can hold on more.
The cavalry does not distinguish between victory and defeat, the infantry army will naturally not sit idly by, Guo Yan saw that the cavalry had less than half the upper hand, and immediately put the 30,000 foot soldiers in his hands into the battlefield, and the enemy army in front of him can completely control the battle situation of the division, Luoyang and the Tiger Prison Pass can also be easily solved, he has no way to retreat in this battle, since the soldiers have been doomed since the soldiers left Chang'an, it can be said that it is a complete battle!
Zhang Xiu's martial arts were defeated in the hands of his fellow disciple Zhao Yun, and the main general of the opponent's infantry army can also be regarded as the old man of Li Guo and the others, that is, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the Zhenyuan generals who commanded the 20,000 Yanyun battalion! Guo Yan has no way to retreat, he doesn't either, the cavalry fight is not a winner, the battle of the infantry is extremely critical, although it is at a disadvantage in numbers, Zhang Liao can understand the combat strength of the corporals and soldiers, this battle can be said to be evenly matched, and the elite of the Yanyun battalion can make up for the lack of numbers.
In the long history of China, there have been many troubled times, such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu and Han Dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms; But no period is as charming as the Three Kingdoms era, and Luo Dada's novel is undoubtedly a key! And people's favorite is the Jin Ge Iron Horse of this era, which has produced many talents, and it is precisely because of the wonderful lives of those famous ministers and generals that the Three Kingdoms have attracted the most people's attention in less than a hundred years.
Zhuge Liang, the embodiment of wisdom, the heroic Zhou Gongjin, and the noble and fast Guo Fengxiao, aside from these strategists for the time being, the brave generals are the protagonists of this historical stage! Shu has five tigers, Wei has five sons, Wu has a dry water heroes, and there are more familiar names such as Lu Bu, Huaxiong, and Yan Liangwen Chou in the previous princes' hegemony, which is really like a galaxy!
Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in the world, Guan Yu who is powerful in Huaxia, Zhang Fei, who is the general of the bear and tiger, and Zhao Yun who is at the idol level, their heroic pride in the troubled times can arouse the blood in the hearts of future generations! But if all the generals of the Three Kingdoms are ranked in terms of comprehensive ability, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who are powerful and Xiaoyaojin, will definitely be ranked in the top six, in Liu Yi's words, this person is at least at the level of corps commander.
In this life, Zhang Liao's life trajectory has changed due to the arrival of Liu Yi, and it can be said that he stepped on the broad stage of war one step earlier, and this division is a great test of his military talent! Since ancient times, Huaxia has been the first in the literature, the second in the martial arts, and it is easier to have that feeling of sympathy between the generals, after serving Liu Yi, Zhang Liao felt very deeply at this point, and now the most harmonious relationship with him in the army is Xu Huang and Zhang He, the three of them are the same type!
As a military general, he can feel the trust of the lord in him, not to mention the battle of annexing the state, this expedition, Zhang Liao led the Yanyun battalion to take charge alone. Although the Yanyun Battalion was formed very late in Liu Yi's army, they are the most famous in recent years, sweeping Liaodong and exterminating Goguryeo, under Gan Ning, this strong force has established a reputation that is not weaker than the old fourth battalion. Putting such a team in the hands of Zhang Liao, what Liu Yi values is Zhang Liao's commanding ability.
The confrontation between the infantry soldiers may not be as agile and beautiful as the horse war, but it is the foundation of the most testing of the soldiers themselves, and here, they have no external strength to borrow! The only thing that can be relied on is the changeable formation and the tacit understanding between the team, which are Liu Yijun's advantages.
In the face of the frontal impact of the enemy, Zhang Liao put on a crescent moon formation towards his own side, this formation can not only maintain a wide front on the first line of confrontation, but also faintly form an encirclement of the enemy! Although the infantry army led by Guo Yan was superior in numbers, it was difficult to reflect it in the confrontation between the two sides. The fighting there was no less fierce than the cavalry duel, and as soon as someone fell and there was a gap, someone would immediately fill it.
Under the close combat between the two sides, soldiers fell almost every moment, but no one was afraid because of this! Guo Yan, who was standing on the high platform, also saw the situation of the confrontation between the soldiers and soldiers, and as time went by, his face became more and more ugly, and his eyebrows were furrowed! In the strangulation on the front line, although both sides had casualties, their own side had far more soldiers than the other side, not only because of Liu Yijun's strong combat power, but more importantly, Zhang Liao's crescent moon array.
This formation seems to be inconspicuous, but at this time it has played a great effect, in the case of equal number of people in the front, the crescent moon formation can allow Liu Yi's soldiers to gain more room to shoot, and can also cooperate well with the comrades around him; However, their own soldiers are a little too congested, and they will be restrained by their own people, and the casualties will be much higher than those of the other party.
The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, and now on the battlefield of this division, Zhang Liao has really done this, and the combat power of the opponent's infantry army is almost within his expectations, so he can make the most targeted arrangement, this crescent moon array is a killer he prepared for Guo Yan.
Although Guo Aduo can't talk about knowing the other, this confidant still has the ability, according to the development of this situation, not to mention his 30,000 foot soldiers, even adding 10,000 is not enough to lose, immediately send an order to change the formation, and after the army gets the order, it will begin to change the formation, and take the momentum of a long snake! He thought very well, as long as the contact surface of the first line was widened, the side with a large number of people would obviously have an advantage in the case of casualties, and if Zhang Liao did not move, his army could also be outflanked from both flanks.
This strain cannot be said to be ineffective, as the main general, he naturally wants to give full play to his own advantages. However, his reaction was not slow, how could Zhang Liao not have a way to deal with it? Wenyuan ordered the flag to be spread continuously, the Yanyun battalion was not entangled with the enemy head-on, and the rear army was divided into elites, and the formation immediately changed to a wild goose, not giving the opponent a chance to attack from the flank. In addition to the head-to-head confrontation, the two wings also formed a melee situation, and the enemy and us were staggered.
In this kind of melee situation, the cooperation between small teams has become very important, and the soldiers of the Yanyun battalion will never fight separately, they will always cooperate in a small area between one team and one another, and there is a skillful group battle formation. This formation was developed by Liu Yi and Zhang Hu when he was training in the West Garden, and on the day of the formation of the West Garden, he also relied on this tactic to defeat the elite of the general He Jin in the battle of 100 people, and greatly promoted the military prestige of the West Garden! Later, almost every expanded unit had to undergo arduous training in this area, and the first thing to do was to cultivate a sense of teamwork as soon as they entered the army.
When it comes to individual combat, Liu Yijun is not afraid of any strong army in the world, and even Cao Cao and Sun Jian were also full of praise for the combat power under his command, and this advantage is even more obvious in this melee! Guo Yan is okay if he doesn't change, but after a change, it seems that he is a short blow and a long blow, and the casualties are not reduced.
After an hour of fighting, Guo Yan's several changes were easily resolved by Zhang Liao, and in the confrontation of foot soldiers, Yanyun Battalion established a great advantage with less fighting and more battles, but Zhang Liao's expression did not alleviate much, although the enemy army was at a disadvantage, but the combat power was not weak, plus the advantage of numbers, it was difficult to completely defeat it.
Although Liu Yijun has a certain advantage on the battlefield, it is not enough for them to defeat each other immediately, the long-term fierce battle has made the physical strength of the soldiers on both sides reach the limit, and some people are now subconsciously waving knives and guns, and it is difficult to distinguish even the enemy between the melee! Soldiers on both sides tripped over corpses and never got up again.
