Chapter 438: Soldiers, Tricks

After giving a series of orders, he sat down gloomily, looking at the Han cavalry who were still maneuvering on the battlefield, he admired the commanders of the Han army from the bottom of his heart, and the war wisdom was really much higher than their Kushan people.

Could it be that the famous art of war book that they sang in the mouth of the Han people is called "Sun Tzu's Art of War"?

He didn't understand, since such a powerful book on the art of war, why didn't it call Grandpa's Art of War and Taizu's Art of War, but instead called Sun Tzu's Art of War, isn't this pretending to be Sun Tzu?

He once tried to ask someone to translate Sun Tzu's Art of War into Guishan's language, but maybe the level of translation was not good, he really couldn't understand it, it was too profound.

However, there are a few sentences that he can understand, and it is these few words that he can understand, which has benefited him a lot, and made him full of longing for the whole Art of War.

He is learning Chinese and Chinese characters on his own, hoping that one day he will be able to understand this military book, which is also regarded as a classic by the Han people!

"Soldiers, treacherous." "Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise." These sentences are all golden and jade good words, how profound wisdom does this have to be to summarize these truth-like sentences?

Every military operation of the Han army is interpreting this point, and it is always unprepared and unexpected.

He now deeply suspected that this duel that Lu Bu took the initiative to propose was to attract the attention of His Majesty Bo Tuo, maybe Ma Chao's thousand-mile attack was his intention?

But Lu Bu used himself as bait, and what enemy commander could resist?

Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, all commanders know that the thief captures the king first!

If there is a chance to end the war directly, how can you not try it?

Besides, the duel initiated by Lu Bu, if he didn't dare to fight, wouldn't he be cowardly before fighting?

This idea is really amazing, forcing you to have to fight, and you have to be led by Lu Bu's nose!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was in a cold sweat, and even the members of the Han Army Observation Group next to him looked at them as if they were looking at fools and idiots.

The head of the Han Army's battle group with a resolute face, he recognized it as Gao Shun who had fought with him, thinking of Gao Shun's determination, he was very afraid of it now, it was probably the closest to death in his military career.

He usually cares about everything about the Han Dynasty and tries his best to understand his opponent, so he knows a lot of the deeds of Lu Bu and others, and knows that Lu Bu's army was built by Lu Bu and killed in various civil wars in the country.

Therefore, Lu Bu is a real emperor who immediately fights the country, unlike King Botuo, who was born with a golden key, he has experienced all kinds of bloody rain, all kinds of swords, mountains and fires, whether it is strategy or psychological quality, His Majesty Botuo cannot say the same.

Therefore, he is very unoptimistic, the result of the duel between these two emperors and their majestys is expected, and he just hopes that his majesty the king can retreat with his whole body.

It's not terrible to lose a duel, but if you can't lose your life, then there's no chance.

He was even ready to violate the rules, and he had to ensure the safety of his majesty, and he had already discussed with the commander of the royal guard, once the situation was critical, he would not hesitate to foul the foul, and he would also attack with the whole army to rescue His Majesty.

Sauter knew that Ma Chao's attack at this time must be a link in Lu Bu's series of plans, but I'm afraid it won't be so simple, there must be other means, what could it be?

Ma Chao ran thousands of miles and went deep behind enemy lines, and he would definitely take the most elite cavalry of the Han army, nine times out of ten it was his own Haotian army, and Lu Bu also used his Imperial Forest Army here to maneuver around His Majesty.

He couldn't think of any elite troops that Dahan could call on.

But he also felt that something was missing here, but what was missing? I can't really remember it all at once!

Suddenly, the whispers of the people around him turned into loud shouts, "The Han army dares to attack our rearguard!" ”

He turned his head to look, only to see that the cavalry of the Han army had already made a circle and circled behind the Kushan army.

At the end of the drag was the large and heavy artillery carriage, and at this time, around the artillery carriage, in addition to the more than 1,000 artillerymen, there were only 1,000 Punjabi infantry who fell in the whole army.

The nearest of the other troops was three miles away, because they had not received any information that the Han cavalry had gone out and circled behind them.

The entire Kushan army is faithfully carrying out His Majesty's order to run and advance with the exception of the two Punjab infantry battalions behind the palace, which are artillery teams.

The artillery structure of the Kushan army is not perfect, and it has not yet formed a complete supporting establishment like the Han army, there are no logistics troops, no engineers, and no guards, they just issued a few flintlock pistols to the artillerymen to talk about self-defense.

So when the 3,000 Han cavalry charged, they were faced with a thousand unprepared Punjabi infantry and an artillery that had not had time to deploy.

The Punjab infantry was known for their brainless fearlessness rather than their excellent tactical qualities, so they bravely rushed forward against the Han army's iron cavalry, but they did not know the dense array required to line up with flintlock pistols to meet the cavalry.

Only a few of them knew how to shoot with their guns, and many more were still accustomed to attaching bayonets to muskets and using them as spears, a move that made the Han army spectators laugh.

The first wave of the Han cavalry's charge did not meet the bayonets at all, but while shooting, they swept past the front of the formation, and when they approached twenty or thirty zhang, they threw grenades one after another.

The Punjabi infantry who reacted also picked up their grenades one after another, intending to do the same, but unfortunately their slow reaction made them accept the grenade baptism of the Han army before they could throw the grenade.

Even if their grenades were thrown, the Han troops on their horses had already run far away, and there were few wounded.

The charge of the 3,000 Han cavalry wiped out most of the Punjabi infantry with a single charge, and then circled back to the starting position and began to re-line.

The Kushan artillery had no time to deploy their artillery, and at such a close distance, the artillery turned into direct fire, so they could only helplessly pick up the muskets and turn back into infantry.

The second charge of the Han army was soon launched, their formation was very loose, and the marksmanship of the artillerymen was not even as good as theirs.

The Han army rushed directly this time, after all, time did not allow them to launch a third attack, and the nearest Kushan infantry had already begun to rush back, but the heavy armored infantry, the speed of the wild rush was just like that.

Bo Tune had been informed, he had halted the advance of the whole army, and even he had sent out his royal guard heavy cavalry, the golden guys.
