Chapter 126: Bloodstained Sand
Guo Wuchang saw that the Weibei battalion had already lined up and walked over slowly, hurriedly beat the drum to gather the generals, and ordered Song Wujin, the general of the infantry army, to take the two thousand elite infantry of his headquarters out of the camp to line up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Song Wujin took the order and left, and Guo Wuchang called the general Zheng Qi and asked him to prepare a thousand cavalry under his command and stand by at any time to receive the infantry who went out to fight. After arranging these two generals, Guo Wuchang ordered the two captains under his command and asked him to bring 500 infantry each to the camp as a reserve.
After arranging the soldiers to go to war, Guo Wuchang ordered the army to camp on the spot, immediately light a fire and cook, and first let the soldiers who had been gone all morning eat enough before they could go out to fight. As for the soldiers and horses sent out now, they are all thorns who are unruly and unwilling to bow down to Guo Wuchang. The Jin army's military system is that the soldiers will have that set, and the soldiers are the grass kings.
Although Guo Wuchang is the commander of this army, he only has the right to control the generals, except for the soldiers and horses under his own command, he has no right to transfer the generals' soldiers and horses at will, and can only assign combat tasks. This military system was also deliberately adopted by Emperor Shimaizhou there in order to prevent his subordinates from rebelling or taking the opportunity to become bigger. In this way, within the army, there are many factions of generals, each holding the mountain, and secretly fighting with each other, which is just convenient for him, the emperor, to mediate in the middle, win the hearts of the people, and it is easier to control the generals. 1
Guo Wuchang was very clear about these doorways in his stomach, and he thought it was very useful, and he learned from it, and he also moved this set of things to his army with the emperor to use it for his majesty. Therefore, those who were sent out to take the lead this time were all thorns who usually disobeyed them, and as for their own military horses, and those who were willing to be honest and obedient, they all stayed in the camp and ate first. When you have eaten enough, you will have the energy to continue fighting in the afternoon.
When the time came, Song Wujin and Zheng Qi, who were sent out first, also beat the soldiers and horses of the Weibei Battalion almost over, and just used the excuse of eating to rotate them back, and replaced them with their own soldiers and horses to go out to pick peaches and make war exploits. This process, their emperor Shi Maizhou is the most skilled, and Guo Wuchang can become his right-hand man, obviously because he has obtained his true inheritance.
However, as the commander of the first army, of course, he can't really let the generals under his command go, he still has to do what he looks like, and he still has to put on his posture. Guo Wuchang boarded the lookout car with great righteousness, and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him: "If you don't win all today, Ben Shuai will go hungry with his brothers who go to war!" The soldiers below immediately understood the meaning of the marshal, and immediately shouted together: "The marshal is benevolent!" I dare not die! Then, there was a chorus of "Fight to the death!" "Die for the handsome!" The shouts. After performing this trick, Guo Wuchang nodded with satisfaction, and returned to the camp under the guard of his own soldiers.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. Guo Wuchang was able to go from an ordinary soldier with no name to the commander of the first army all the way over the years, and his acting skills were naturally explosive. The soldiers and horses under his command all felt that they were following a good commander who could fight and was considerate of his soldiers.
Outside, who were responsible for commanding the infantry of the Weibei Battalion, Li Deyi, Li Wuving, and Wang Zhuangbiao were the three of them. Li Deyi and Li Wuyi rode their mounts, and Wang Zhuangbiao was accustomed to foot combat, so he mixed in the foot soldiers. In the eyes of the Jin army, the Weibei battalion was all infantry, and only two people were riding mounts, probably captains and the like. At this time, the two sides were still hundreds of paces apart, and it was normal to see clearly.
After Song Wujin, the infantry general of the Jin Army, saw the armor and equipment of the Weibei Battalion, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous in his heart. Without him, the equipment of the Weibei battalion is really shabby, and the armor on the soldiers' bodies is varied, and there are all kinds of things. The uniforms are also mixed, and as for the weapons in their hands, they are also messy, and they look like a ragtag army from a distance. He didn't know, these armors in Weibei Camp were all pieced together over the years, and they were easily saved, and the natural styles were also varied and varied.
On the other hand, the Jin army was not, although their emperor recognized the Tuliao dog thief as his father, but he also controlled the land of the three provinces, with a large population and fields. Therefore, compared with the Weibei battalion, the equipment of the Jin army is definitely a luxury. The whole set of ochre military uniforms, each foot soldier wears a half-body leather armor that covers his chest, the spear in his hand, and the steel knife reflects a little cold light from time to time.
Li De glanced at the weapons and armor of the Jin army on the opposite side, and secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, "Wait for a while to win, these things are all from my Weibei camp!" I'll lend it to you for now! Before the battle, Li Deyi was greedy for the equipment of the Jin army, and the young medical officer Liu was not confused, he observed intently and found that the Jin army's formation was quite flustered.
Obviously, after a continuous morning of marching, they rushed out to meet the battle without resting, and the mood and morale of the soldiers of the Jin army were a little low. Doctor Xiao Liu secretly said in his heart that this was an opportunity, but there was no action in his hands. Since this battle is handed over to the junior brother to command, he can't do much, otherwise even if he wins, the junior brother will not be able to learn anything. Pressing the thought in his heart, Dr. Liu patiently waited for his junior brother to respond.
After a while, Li De waved his hand in the formation, and then gave the order to attack. The small drummer in the middle of the infantry phalanx suddenly quickened the drum beat, and then the soldiers of the Weibei battalion also accelerated their march, apparently to attack immediately.
Medical Officer Xiao Liu looked at it from behind, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Senior brother did a good job, but he actually found that the Jin army had an unstable foothold, so he launched an attack first." It's really good, the master didn't teach him in vain. "Poor senior brother, didn't your junior brother order the attack when he saw that the morale of the Jin army was not high, he was looking at the good things that others had brought him, and he couldn't wait to grab it and call it himself! In any case, Li Deyi also hit and seized the fighter by mistake.
Although the soldiers of the Weibei battalion are all new recruits who have just entered the battle, they may not be as elite as these veterans of the Jin army. Kewei North Battalion has its own set of skills in the training of soldiers, which is the training method left by Di Dashuai back then, and it is rumored that the teacher method is from the military book left by the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty. After the soldiers of the Weibei battalion have undergone that kind of training, they can still maintain a tight position in the rapid march.
Stamped, the infantry phalanx of the Weibei battalion walked neatly, maintained a tight array, and quickly walked towards the Jin army. The appearance of Weibei Ying, in the eyes of the generals of the Jin army, is amazing. The soldiers they trained can walk ten steps to keep the array intact, so they can be called well-trained soldiers, and such generals can also be praised for managing the army well.
The soldiers of this Weibei battalion have walked nearly 100 steps, right!? How can they still maintain such a tight formation, and how did they train it? Before the battle, this Song Wujin was already a little weak-hearted. Xin said: "Could it be that there are rumors in the market that the Weibei Battalion has won a hundred battles and never lost a record of defeat?!" How is this possible!? He was thinking nonsense here, Li Deyi would not let go of the opportunity to snatch these armor weapons. Seeing that the Weibei battalion infantry had already walked close enough, the Jin army infantry still didn't react, and Li Deyi shouted: "Kill!" "Take the lead and lead the team to launch a neat charge.
"Kill!" The three thousand soldiers of the Weibei battalion shouted in unison, responding to the main general, and for a while, the sound of killing rushed straight to the top of the nine clouds, and then spread out in all directions, and the momentum brought out by this was shocking. In the camp of the Jin army, Guo Wuchang, who was originally there with the old god, heard this shout of killing, and suddenly trembled, stood up directly from the chair, opened the camp tent and walked out, re-boarded the lookout car, and paid close attention to the battle outside the camp.
At this time, the Weibei battalion took the lead and was already entangled with the infantry of the Jin army. These newly trained soldiers from the Weibei battalion looked full of vigor and the formation was neat, and when the battle started, many problems appeared. Although the Weibei battalion was neatly arrayed, and the soldiers were neat and well-appointed to assassinate with spears in their hands, the armor on their bodies was poor after all. Although the Jin army was in a slightly chaotic formation, and the soldiers were also chaotic in fighting, they could not stand their well-equipped. Relying on the advantage of the array, the first wave of the battle was only a draw with the Jin army, and the two sides suffered casualties on both sides. Li Deyi, Li Wudi, and Wang Zhuangbiao did not rush to participate in this first wave of engagement, but only advanced forward with the array in the formation.
The Jin army's military formation was a standard infantry array of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, and behind the two rows of pikemen, there were sword and shield soldiers holding shields and short knives. The infantry phalanx of the Weibei battalion was all pikemen, not even archers. The spears of the Weibei battalion were longer than those of the Jin army, so when they first fought, it was the Weibei battalion that took advantage, but the good times did not last long. After the first two rows of pikemen competed, the two sides were completely mixed up, and it was time for the sword and shield soldiers to exert their might.
At this time, the problem of the slightly inferior equipment of the Weibei battalion was highlighted. There were no sword and shield soldiers in the Weibei battalion, and all pikemen were in the same color. The Jin saber and shield soldiers mixed into the battle formation, and as long as they were slashed with one sword, they could often directly cut down a soldier of the Weibei battalion. The armor of the infantry soldiers of the Weibei battalion was not as good as that of the Jin army, and at this time, this disadvantage was slowly magnified. Moreover, the Jin infantry was covered by archers in the rear formation, and from time to time they would shoot a wave of arrows behind the Weibei camp to kill and injure the soldiers in the back row of the Weibei camp.
Doctor Xiao Liu saw clearly behind him and found that his own formation began to sink from the middle of the battle between the two sides after the battle. It should have been suppressed by the Jin army, which caused the soldiers in that place to be killed and injured too quickly, and the soldiers behind had no time to replenish, so there was a depression. Medical Officer Xiao Liu couldn't help but take his soldiers to help his junior brother, but in the end, he still held back.
If the war continues here, the Weibei battalion will definitely be defeated. However, there is Wang Zhuangbiao, a fierce man in Weibei Camp, as well as Li Deyi and Li Wuving. Although Li Deyi was not very clear about the war, he also felt that something was wrong, so he didn't think much about it, and directly issued a military order, so that Wang Zhuangbiao rushed to the middle of the battle between the two armies, and he and Li Wudi followed closely and killed them together.
Wang Zhuangbiao kept squeezing away his own soldiers who were in the way along the way, rushed straight to the depression of the formation, and opened the big iron whip to smash and smash wildly. Wang Zhuangbiao's strength, ordinary Jin soldiers couldn't bear him at all, and he was knocked over seven or eight in the blink of an eye. But the Jin army is also an elite anomaly, and the soldiers behind continue to kill here desperately.
It seems that Song Wujin, the commander of the Jin army, also observed the depression of the Weibei battalion's formation, thinking that this was a breakthrough to take advantage of the situation to break the Weibei battalion's formation, and kept directing the soldiers to rush here in the back, intending to expand this depression and tear apart the formation of the Weibei battalion.
Rao is Wang Zhuangbiao is brave and unparalleled, but after all, he is only one person, and he smashes down with an iron whip, smashing over two or three Jin soldiers at most, and knocking over three with a big iron shield in the other hand. But the Jin army still kept pouring over, and many Jin soldiers took advantage of Wang Zhuangbiao's inability to take advantage of it, and rushed towards the infantry of the Weibei battalion behind him. At this time, Li Deyi and Li Wudi also killed. They were cavalry, and to be honest, in such a tight array of foot soldiers, the mounts under the crotch could not accelerate at all.
Ordinary cavalry has no speed advantage, and it is really not easy to deal with a large number of foot soldiers. It is also a loss to Li Deyi and Li Wuving, Li Wuvor dances the black iron rod in his hand, and he doesn't need to aim, he just smashes it, and often with a stick, he can knock over three or two Jin army foot soldiers. Li Deyi originally went into battle with his usual saber, but this time he was a cavalry and an infantry envoy, and the saber was a little awkward, too short. On the way here, Li Deyi met a pikeman who was wounded and sent to the back, and casually took his spear in his hand. The "Humvee" under the crotch kicked and bit violently, and Li Deyi put one hand around the neck of the "Humvee" on it to stabilize his figure, and poked one with a spear in the other hand to pick up the missing head.
With the addition of these people, the three of them forcibly blocked the button, and the Weibei Battalion's original critical position was stabilized again after a short time. Next, the two sides entered a state of stalemate, and for a while no one could move anyone, but it was slowly consumed.
When the battle is fought to this extent, it is time to compete with the physical strength and perseverance of the soldiers under him. The Weibei camp had eaten an hour in advance, but the Jin army hadn't eaten yet! As he played, the Jin soldiers began to beat drums in their stomachs, and the strength in their hands gradually decreased.
