Chapter 986: The Army's Heart Is Like Iron
In the face of the Wudang Fei Army led by Zhang Fei, the battle formation of the Long Xiang soldiers under the command of Zang Ba was varied, and after a period of scuffle, they could even retreat and line up to meet each other, which not only made it difficult for those Shanyue soldiers to break through the front row of shield formations, but also made it difficult to show Zhang Fei's courage under Zang Ba's personal greeting. On the Yongwu Yanren Zhang Fei alone, he naturally wants to be above Zang Xuangao, but how can the battle array be decided by bravery alone? If this is the case, with a group of top generals led by Liu Yi and Zhao Yun, even if the three heroes in the south join forces, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop them! The bravery of the two armies against the main general can improve the morale of the army, and can also establish a huge advantage in a certain part and affect the entire battle situation, but in the final analysis, the combat strength of the soldiers, the daily drills, and the command of the battle are the fundamental factors that determine victory or defeat.
Compared with the Wudang Flying Army, which has only been in the army for half a year, the Yan Army's ace Long Xiang Sergeant has a great advantage in terms of battle formation, experience and strain, and even the Shanyue Soldier's proud individual combat ability has not been able to get any opportunity in front of the Long Xiang Army, which is expected by the Yangzhou Army, but the distance between the two sides is beyond their expectations, and the improvement of the Yan Army's combat power can give them a great surprise almost every time, of course, the word surprise must be marked with quotation marks. And with the experience of being broken through by Zhang Fei before, Zang Ba immediately made adjustments to deal with it, and he personally moved with it, and the strongest point to curb it would make him helpless!
If there is no reinforcement to join, Zhang Fei's Wudang Fei army really has no way to take Zang Ba's Long Xiang soldiers, and the bravery of the main general cannot change the fact that the combat strength gap between the two sides cannot be changed, but after the Bai'er elite soldiers led by Huang Zhong joined the battle, the development of the situation began to favor the Yangzhou soldiers. The latter is even better than the Wudang Flying Army in terms of combat power, even if the gap is extremely slight compared to the draw with the Long Xiang Army, at this time, it appears as a new force, and it has to guard against the Wudang Flying Army in front of it on the one hand, and also take care of the white-eared elite soldiers on both wings, that is, the Long Xiang Army began to be a little stretched for a while, and the previously stable front was also a little loose. In the same way, Zang Ba can restrict Zhang Fei with the help of the soldiers beside him, but he can't also restrict Huang Zhong, a brave general who is no less than Zhang Yide, and the old general will break the shield array as before!
The soldiers with the strongest combat power under the command of the princes of the late Han Dynasty were generally their own personal soldiers, such as Cao Cao's Flying Bear Army, Liu Bei's White-eared Elite Soldiers, Lu Bu's Flying Fang Male Cavalry, and Sun Ce's Tiger Battalion! It may be that Liu Yi is a slight exception, although the combat power of the pro-guard battalion is also strong, but it may not be better than the white tiger Xuanwu or the dragon and tiger guard, with extraordinary bravery, Liu Yi does not have too high requirements for the pro-soldiers around him, good steel is used on the blade, and the most brave soldiers naturally have to fight on the front line to exert the greatest effect! Especially after the shadow appeared, when the army was reorganized in two years, I don't know how many elites of the guard battalion were broken up by Liu Yi and joined the armies, and even Guan Hai sighed in fragmentation for a while, of course he would not put his beak in front of King Yan.
In the formation of the Longxiang Army, the white-eared elite soldiers on both wings finally faced the Yan Army's trump card, this time this battle between the two sides was more tragic than the Fang Cai Wudang Flying Army, these white-eared soldiers' movements and body movements did not look as powerful and majestic as the Shanyue soldiers, but in the eyes of the Longxiang Army, they were better, because they knew that the opponent's tactical actions were the most practical one after thousands of tempering, they would not pursue any visual effects, they just wanted how to kill and injure the other party more favorably, Of course, as the ace Long Xiang soldiers, they will not have the slightest fear, even if they have just experienced a fierce battle, the ace army must be the ace at any time, including being injured or even killed in battle, this is the words that are often on the lips of the commander Xu Huang during ordinary exercises!
When the two armies fight each other, they only want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and when they are wounded, they must sacrifice their lives to create opportunities for their comrades, and when they are dying, they must try their best to drag the enemy army on the road together! These are not the explicit instructions in the Yan Army's drill outline, nor are they the words of the famous generals, but those veterans, those low-level officers including the chief of the army and the chief of the army every day to the new soldiers, under the leadership of Liu Yi, the king of Yan, and a group of generals, the Yan army as a whole has formed a momentum, that is, before the war, at the expense of life and death, I am invincible! If you don't put life and death aside, you don't deserve to fight on the battlefield!
Such momentum is reflected in the battles of the Yan army all the time, whether it is in good times or bad, it is conceivable that if there is no such momentum, how can Liu Yi dare to fight against more than 100,000 Hun cavalry with 60,000 soldiers? Without this kind of momentum, how could the Tiger Guards run hundreds of miles after the Great War and still be able to stop Lu Bu's return to the army for an hour, including the Xiliang Iron Cavalry? These examples are really numerous in the battles of the Yan army! "Zhang Eighteen who can't be killed" has a sentence that won the heart of Yan's soldiers, "When you get to the battle array, you are a dead man!" Only the dead are afraid of nothing. Although this statement is straightforward, it expresses the voice of the Yan soldier.
This kind of momentum will always support the Yan soldiers to fight on the battlefield, although the white-eared elite soldiers in front of them are stronger than the talented Wudang Flying Army, but the more such opponents will be able to arouse the arrogance in the hearts of the ace soldiers, the battle array is quite better than martial arts, martial arts is comparable to will, no matter how much will is more crazy than whom, who is more desperate, who can persevere, Yan soldiers have this confidence that they can defeat any opponent in the world when the number of people is roughly the same, even if the enemy is outnumbered, they will kill the other party is chilling! Because it is under the command of the undefeated Yan King!
Although the front was broken through by the other party, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, the two fierce generals, led the Wudang Fei Army to break through from the front, but Zang Ba can still organize the defense without hurrying, not boasting that he is as quiet as a mountain, but at this moment, the rush without half a point of effect will only be harmful, the sharpness of those alien warriors has long been suppressed by Long Xiang's soldiers in the first battle, as long as the two wings can withstand the impact of the white-eared elite soldiers, he can still maintain balance in the Chinese army as long as he entangles Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong's battle situation, just now he has ruled out the communication soldiers to ask for help, It is believed that reinforcements will come soon.
In general, Zang Ba did not hesitate to block in front of Zhang Fei with the help of several guards, on martial arts Huang Zhong is indeed not under Yanren Zhang Yide, but that is when he is fighting, the consumption of physical strength in this kind of infantry battle is extremely terrible, and now Zhang Fei does not have the momentum at the beginning is proof, and the veteran Huang Zhong is over fifty years old no matter how brave he is, he is old and strong, and it is true that he is old and strong, but the impact is obviously not as good as Zhang Fei in the prime of life. It may be similar to it for a while, but as long as the Long Xiang Army can hold on, it will take a turn!
In an instant, Zang Ba's analysis of the situation is still very accurate, and it is not without cost to break through the battle formation of the Longxiang army with the strength of one person to turn the situation around, the speed of the loss of physical strength is extremely terrifying, even if Zhang Fei, who is as brave as a swallow, needs time to breathe and recover, without the help of horsepower in the infantry battle, its difficulty will be far greater than that of cavalry combat! Therefore, no matter how brave the generals are, they rarely do it, and it is often a helpless move, and it is extremely difficult for Zhang Fei to be able to perform well! Before him, only Liu Yi, the king of Yan, could do this in the bloody battle of Lianshan, and after this battle, his state was also greatly affected, and it was difficult to win one hundred and sixty or seventy rounds of the battle with Wenchou, one of the two heroes of Hebei, if it were not for the impact of the battle situation, he really might not be able to win, which shows the consumption of physical strength on the foot battle and rushing into the formation, even a pervert like Liu Yi is difficult to bear!
Of course, as a new force, Huang Zhong's might will never lose to Zhang Fei when his physical strength is sufficient, and when the phoenix pattern cold spirit knife flew up and down, I don't know how many Yan army generals took their lives, in order to deal with this veteran, the three strongest military horses in the battalion together with dozens of martial arts and brave people were killed by him, and most of them were killed, and the rest were all injured, Huang Hansheng's courage can be seen here, of course, the casualties of his comrades did not make Long Xiang soldiers retreat in fear, and they were caught off guard by Zhang Fei's sudden advance. At this time, although Huang Zhong was not under him, Yan Jun had some preparations, fighting the danger of being cut in two by the opponent, more than a dozen soldiers tied their arms into a wall to resist the impact of the veteran, even if they died under the opponent's knife, they would also delay his progress a little!
Huang Zhong was in the battle, and this battle could be said to be hearty, and every time he stepped forward, the phoenix pattern cold spirit knife would bring a piece of blood, but the enemy's fearlessness of death and the use of various targeted tactics also made him feel a lot more pressure, and the force on the knife was getting bigger and bigger, and the Long Xiang sergeant was no longer aimed at him but wanted to lock the sword that flew like a dragon! In the face of such a united enemy army, the veteran also had an unsustainable feeling in his heart! Zang Ba is not mistaken, on the infantry army rushing into battle, Huang Zhong's power is really not as good as Zhang Fei, his martial arts are proficient and experienced, but in pure terms of strength, he is not as good as Yanren Zhang Yide, and in such a battle formation, strength is the most critical factor, Zhang Fei is so, Liu Yi is also the same, including Cao Cao's tiger idiot.
Unable to impact the thick formation composed of Long Xiang's soldiers again, Huang Zhong naturally will not stop the blow to the Yan army, his target was immediately changed to Zang Ba who was entangled with Zhang Fei, if he can knock this person down, it can not only affect the opponent's fighting spirit that looks at death as home, but also let him and Zhang Fei join hands will have stronger power, only then each of them is looking for an opportunity to break the Yan army's shield array, and now the impact is blocked The tactics must be changed immediately, since the age of fifteen in the army, the veteran's combat experience is rarely matched, At this time, the Yan soldiers were waiting to block the impact of this white-headed killing god, and the place where they fought with Zang Ba Zhang Fei was not too far, but when Huang Zhong just wanted to turn his head and kill there, the Yan army formation in front of him suddenly dispersed, and one general flew out from the inside, and the sharp white light instantly hit his face, and it was actually a three-pointed and two-edged one!
