Chapter 143: The War of Restoration and Annihilation (10)
Jiang Wei said in the early morning of the 25th that tomorrow will certainly not be the 26th. At midnight on the 25th, the most powerful mobile corps of Shu Han, after recuperating in the Sword Pavilion Canyon for more than two months, finally began to show its fangs to the Wei army.
It is the time period from 5 to 7 o'clock in the morning. During the winter months in the Southwest, this is the darkest time of the day. And at this time, Jiang Wei led the army out.
The first to come out was the most distinctive unit of Shu Han, the chariot soldiers.
The chariots, which flourished in the Western Zhou Dynasty, have long been eliminated. The chariot here is very different from the chariot. To put it simply, he is actually a reverse version of the Western Zhou chariot.
On top of the two wheels, there was a thick plank of tiled wood that could accommodate two throwers standing calmly. On the side facing the enemy, a thick plank with a height of 1.5 meters was placed vertically, and the side facing the enemy had a thick skin to protect the gunthrowers in the car. And in order to prevent the enemy from climbing, the entire skin is also dotted with various small but sharp blades...... Between this thick plank and two wheels were five sharp blades up to a meter long - equipped to protect the enemy horses from storming the chariots. At the back of the entire chariot was a handrail made of hard wood. Four heavily armored soldiers rested their hands on the armrests, providing the impetus for the ancient version of the tank.
Six soldiers control one chariot, and there are five hundred of them in a troop of 3,000 chariots. The cross-section of each vehicle is two meters, and there needs to be a slight gap between each vehicle. Therefore, once the entire vehicle army is lined up, it is enough to cover the battlefield for thousands of kilometers.
And at the exit of the Sword Pavilion, everyone who has been there knows that the width there is absolutely not more than a thousand meters.
Now at the front of the exit of the Sword Pavilion is the Yongzhou soldiers led by Zhuge Xu and forcibly annexed by Zhong Hui. This army and Jiang Wei's mobile corps have been fighting repeatedly for more than ten years, and they are no strangers to such a chariot formation. When the sentry of the large battalion saw this group of Han troops from a distance, he made a very correct judgment: "Enemy attack!" The chariot soldiers of the Shu thieves are coming! ”
The class is called correctly, but how to deal with it?
In the past, on the battlefield of Longxi, because the battlefield was very wide, the slow-moving chariot soldiers were never an offensive weapon - they were only used to defend against the enemy's hordes of cavalry. If Jiang Wei dared to attack with such a slow cavalry soldier in the vast Longxi Plateau, Deng Ai would be very happy to teach Jiang Wei what cavalry shooting was.
Now the problem is different, in such a narrow battlefield, the chariot has become an offensive weapon, how should it be dealt with?
And this Yongzhou soldier has one of the biggest problems: the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers.
As the original commander of this Yongzhou army, although Zhuge Xu will not be very good, he still takes care of his soldiers in general-otherwise he would not have given up the bridge. So, this guy is very popular with the military.
As a result, the beloved coach was framed and imprisoned by Zhong Hui's son of a bitch and was escorted to Luoyang. In fact, the boss is not happy in everyone's hearts.
After arriving under Zhong Hui's command, the family from the capital of the dog day did not treat us local soldiers as human beings, and let us be at the forefront - not to mention the fire, but also to be ridiculed and bullied by the Chinese army in Luoyang behind - you laugh at a fart! If you have a capital hukou, you are a capital person? Who's that? Zhang Haozi, you TM didn't sleep in a tent with Lao Tzu in our Yongzhou Army sequence the year before last. What are you dragging?
Fortunately, the commander who was later sent by Zhonghui to command them was Pang Hui. This man from the northwest is strong in martial arts and is a bright and upright person, although it is a little incomprehensible that he can't hear the surname Guan in his ears. But in general, he is still a good commander - after all, after the commander took office, his own soldiers were bullied by the soldiers of the Luoyang Chinese Army, and he really dared to take us to smash other people's fields. So, in the more than two months that they were stationed in the Sword Pavilion, this Yongzhou soldier finally slowly recovered their morale.
However, on the 20th, General Pang Hui actually left! And it went very suddenly and urgently, without any explanation. Although the above sent the army to lead them, in just four or five days, the army did not even recognize the main Sima below.
(青彡 is a word.) Occasionally seen in ancient books, modern input methods can't be typed)
And the Shu thieves actually set up a dignified array to attack at this time? How did you get the timing so right?
"Hey, look at the banner, the one in front should be Zhuge Xu's Yongzhou soldiers. Why are you so sluggish? ”
"Hey! Whatever he does, Beryo, that's a good thing! ”
"That's the same, Commando, open the passage and move forward!"
"Huh~~~"
With Jiang Wei's order, a group of about 1,000 elite Han troops quickly crossed the chariot team in front and quickly approached the Dazhai Gate of the Yongzhou Army.
These sturdy figures deftly avoided the scattered arrows fired from the towers of the enemy's walled city. Rushed to less than a meter in front of the enemy village, and then threw the hook rope in a uniform manner, and the iron hook on the head of the rope accurately fell on the wall of the Wei army, and then these generals quickly pulled the rope and quickly brought their bodies to the wall.
The Yongzhou soldiers upstairs in the Walled City were not weak chickens, and in the face of this situation, they still resisted under the organization of low-ranking officers. But in the face of the strongest individual combat force in the most powerful mobile corps in the entire Shu Han, the commando team with the strongest individual combat power. In the case where the troops in the rear did not follow in time, with a minority against a majority, their resistance was in vain.
Soon, the gate of the village opened, and the camp of the 30,000 Yongzhou army was opened.
"It's so smooth, the fight against the Yongzhou Army has never been so smooth." In the face of such a good situation, Jiang Wei was not in a happy mood at all. But at this point, he had no reason to retreat: "The assault team dispersed, and searched forward in a team of ten people to do what they had to do." The Hubu army rushed forward to defend the entrance of the village. The chariot soldiers slowly entered Dazhai, and then formed a formation one by one! ”
In this process, the counterattack of the Yongzhou army was still continuing, but most of them were attacks in Qu (500 people). Counterattacks on the scale of the ministry (1,000 people) are very rare. This level of counterattack, in the face of the complete state of the Shu Han Mobile Corps, of course, was crushed by it one after another.
"Where is the army? Why hasn't the order been issued by the camp? ”
"It's not going to be a run, is it?"
"It's hard to say, this guy doesn't necessarily have to be as brave as General Pang......"
These Yongzhou soldiers guessed whether Zhan Qinggang had escaped from the battle, and they had really wronged others to fight Qinggang. However, at this time, Zhan Qinggang was indeed not in the Yongzhou military camp.
"Supervising the army, this is the case, I went to the Yongzhou military camp for five days and got a preliminary understanding of the situation. The daily diet of the 30,000 Yongzhou army is at least 20% less than that of the Chinese army. The soldiers below all complained. If this continues, morale is worried. ”
"Hey, I'm in the army. You didn't figure it out. The day you went to the Yongzhou military camp to take charge of the army was the 20th, right? It was on that day that General Zhenxi ordered the whole army to reduce the food ration. Not only the Yongzhou Army, but also the Chinese Army behind. ”
"Huh? Is that so? It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Hum! Those military leaders of the Yongzhou army thought that I had just arrived in the camp to coax me, and they actually joined forces to fool me? Ben will go back and must ......."
"Overseer! Yes? Why are you here? Overseer! Jiang Wei in the Sword Pavilion has come out! ”
"Huh?!"
……
"General, our army has captured the big tent of the Chinese army of the Yongzhou army."
"Good! I didn't expect the Yongzhou Army to be so unorganized tonight. God help me! ”
With Jiang Wei's sentence Heaven help me, the time has come, the sun is finally about to climb up, and a touch of fish belly white has appeared in the eastern sky.
With the improvement of sight, the Yongzhou army began to slowly recover its uneasy mood. As a professional corps that has fought an old battle with the Shu Han Mobile Corps, they are actually not weak.
Officers at all levels began to come forward, beckoning their soldiers to begin to move closer to themselves, and several officers were connected to each other, and slowly, the resistance of the Yongzhou army began to become fierce.
Moreover, behind the Yongzhou army camp, countless large flags were waving back and forth, and there was no doubt that the well-trained Luoyang Chinese army was rapidly assembling.
Jiang Wei didn't want to continue fighting.
Not only him, but also Liao Hua, Zhang Yi, Lai Zhong, Zhao Tong, Xiang Chong, Liu Min and other major generals of Shu Han did not want to fight.
It's not that you can't win, but if you fight so hard, while defeating the enemy, your own side will suffer great losses. After all, the idea of building an army of this group of people is completely different from that of a traverser like Guan Yi.
Guan Yi's idea of army building is to build an army with low technology content that can be copied in large quantities. Before the war, I will equip you with the best equipment and weapons as much as possible, give you the best benefits, and completely solve your worries. When it comes to the battlefield, everything is aimed at victory. Casualties are something to consider, but this comes after the victory.
And Jiang Wei, who has been running a small business for a long time, every soldier under his command is an elite, and they are all treasures who have been trained and fought for many years. If he had to choose between a crushing victory and a temporary retreat, he would definitely choose the latter.
Suddenly, in the depths of the Wei army's camp, smoke suddenly rose from several places, Jiang Wei's brows were frowning just now, and this will finally be relaxed: "The chariot soldiers continue to advance, and we will fight for another quarter of an hour." When the brethren of the commando who went deep into the enemy's grain depot returned, we will slowly retreat! ”
