Volume 8: Chapter 295 of "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains": Zhao Xin
The heralds of the Black Cavalry blew their horns, and the spear riders pulled down their visors, holding their cavalry rifles under their right arms in their final preparations. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ahuer now has a Chinese name, and he was given the surname Zhao by Lin Bin, which contains a deep meaning of the letter word with a single word. Well? At least he personally thought that the word 'letter' was very meaningful, probably not wanting the Huns, who were the first to join him, to carry out the repeated rebellion. And what about him? He thought that if Lin Bin helped him take revenge, he would have no reason to rebel at all.
At this moment, Zhao Xince stood at the forefront of the Black Cavalry, and on his left was Lin Yan, who was deeply trusted by Lin Bin, the martial artist who had played a huge role in Yanmen.
Looking at the enemy in front of him, Zhao Xin recalled that the present and the past were like a dream!
The story starts half a year ago......
Since he joined the Han Department half a year ago, Zhao Xin felt that life was different, he lost the power to directly control the original people, and he was very unaccustomed to it at the beginning, and he also had a regretful thought, after all, people advocate freedom, and they don't like to be restrained by others, so it's not strange to have strange emotions.
Zhao Xin didn't get used to it at the beginning, and his mood seemed very low, especially after he was attached, he was not assigned a position and couldn't lead the troops, which made him feel that he had been fooled, and the troops were not only annexed by Lin Bin, but he also lost the opportunity to take revenge.
Once a person loses his aggressive goal, he becomes a walking corpse, Zhao Xin felt that he had no hope of revenge, and began to rely on the wealth he had accumulated before, and he didn't think about hating Lin Bin...... Wrong. He doesn't dare to hate, he doesn't dare to show hatred in his heart or appearance, he is an authentic grassland man. understands the laws of survival in the world, the weak eat the strong, and if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for stupidly running to annex others.
A month or two of losing power made Zhao Xin understand a lot of things, and sometimes he even felt that it would be good if he continued like this? He knows that the idea of eating and waiting for death is poison, which will slowly turn people with great ambitions into idle wastes, but what can be done? People who have lost power are often inferior to ordinary people, at least ordinary people know very little and do not think about it.
Ignorance is often a kind of happiness......
Things took a turn for the worse after the Han sent an assassin (Li Guang) to assassinate the Han King (Lin Bin). A personally willed assassination did not anger Lin Bin, the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty, but the more than two million people of the Han Department were angry, and they were angry!
Zhao Xin didn't know what the noble ruler was thinking. After he lost power, he has slowly integrated into the bottom of Han society, and there is no shortage of original tribal leaders who have lost power in Hanbu, and the original tribal leaders who probably can't think of it are all dead, right? He found that the former tribal leaders who had lost power were very open-minded, and did not think, or at least did not think about doing anything on the surface. They learn a new life. That is to rely on the wealth of the past to do business or buy a property and become a wealthy man.
"It's not that you don't want to regain power! It's impossible! We can only rely on the next generation, and may our children and grandchildren be smarter and braver, so that they can enter the academy of the Han Department and make a name for themselves. ”
Zhao Xin understood that the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty did not want those tribal leaders who had lost their power to influence the people, and if anyone still wanted to rely on influence to fan, what was waiting for that person was death! Knowing this, he never took the initiative to contact his former subordinates again, and he chose the right path, which was to rely on his own strength to seek to enter the military academy and get a mixed background.
A person has a mind. Ten people is a thought. Zhao Xin didn't want to pay attention to what the original tribal leaders who had lost their power were thinking, he just wanted to restore the power to lead the troops. For this reason, I also paid special attention to what the low-level leaders of the Han Department were thinking. He found that the Han people were furious after the Han sent assassins to assassinate them, and the anger of the people indirectly affected the low-level officers in the army, and the low-level officers affected the mid-level officers. He felt very weird, when did a person as small as the people of the Lingmin be able to influence the high-level? This strange situation is really happening in Hanbu, which is extremely incredible!
Zhao Xin found that the highest ruling class found the anger of the people, and the ruling class did not suppress or channel after discovering the anger of the people, and the Department of Authority and the Department of Civil Affairs sent officials to work together to investigate the people, he really didn't understand why he wanted to investigate, he only knew that the policy of the Ministry of Han had changed after the investigation, and that change made it clear at a glance, and the Han Department, which had nothing to do with the Han State, embarked on the road of confrontation with the Han State because of the anger of the people.
It seems that he was so stimulated by the Han Kingdom? The only king of the Han Dynasty, the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty, the sky above the Han people, the Lin Bin who had forgotten him, finally remembered that there was a Xiongnu originally named Ahur, and now a Han leader named Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin was very excited when he learned that he was summoned by Lin Bin, and he still remembered the first words that Lin Bin said at that time!
Lin Bin said: "You are very smart, really, you did not wait for death like those people, but chose to learn new knowledge and continue to learn from Rong." And now I'm giving you a chance, a chance to get what you want! Can you catch it? ”
Zhao Xin is really smart, he didn't ask what the opportunity was, maybe it was also because he didn't ask and chose to obey so that he got more benefits? He had been trained to join the Divine Army, something he hadn't thought about beforehand!
What kind of army is the Divine Army? Zhao Xin lived at the bottom of the Han Dynasty for a period of time, and the most common thing he heard at that time was that the Han people said, "I am willing to die if I can enter the army directly under the king", he deeply understands Lin Bin's status in the hearts of the Han people, and thus understands that it is an extremely honorable thing to be able to enter the Shence Army to serve.
Zhao Xin understood, he really figured out the key to some things! He knew that the reason why he was left at the bottom was for his purpose, and the ruler hoped that he would understand at the bottom what the people needed, what they were thinking psychologically, what the most fundamental national policy of the Han Department was, the relationship between the people and the army, the relationship between the army and ......the ruling class, and so on. Once you understand some of these are beneficial to integrate into the Han Department faster!
The terrible ability to fuse is not what to think at the top. Often, the power of the people is bigger and stronger than the ruling class thinks!
Zhao Xin seized the opportunity, he entered the Shence Army, relying on his previous combat experience and understanding of Xiongnu tactics, and was exceptionally promoted to become a military Sima of the Shence Army. Let's be honest. Jun Sima's status in the army is not high, but he has the power to receive orders rather than idle positions, and he is very satisfied with this, because he believes that as long as he can lead the troops to fight and establish meritorious deeds, it is not difficult for him to climb higher!
"I must climb! Keep climbing! ”
Zhao Xin's battle knife was tightly gripped, and he could see the green tendons on the back of his hand, which was a kind of power that was about to explode! He looked away. Putting his eyes on the Hun troops in front of him, the Huns in his eyes were not of the same race, and the huge heads were military exploits. It is an indispensable achievement to continue to climb up!
"Let's attack!"
Lin Yan smiled, he was one of Lin Bin's henchmen, so he knew some things that others didn't know. He knew that it was only a matter of time before Zhao Xin rose to prominence, as Zhao Xin had been a Hun and the leader of a tribe. He knew the living habits and tactics of the Xiongnu very well. The Han Ministry needed to understand the living habits and combat techniques of the Xiongnu generals, especially those who were familiar with the terrain of the Xiongnu's traditional sphere of influence. It is expected that Zhao Xin was cultivated so deliberately, after all, the confrontation between the Han and the Xiongnu was not a war that would end in a year or two, and this war would be fought for a long time.
Zhao Xin was impatient: "The heat is almost over, let's attack!" "He wants to prove himself, he wants to prove that he is a useful person! Only useful people will not be discarded at will!
Lin Yan also retracted his gaze, he knew that the Hun army on the opposite side was timid, just like Zhao Xin said, "The fire is almost over." The so-called fire weather means that the momentum of the enemy has accumulated to a peak, and the momentum of the enemy army has fallen to the dangerous spiritual point. At this time, it is often only a single charge that can kill the enemy and abandon the armor.
"I'll charge, and the military marquis will stay in the rear to co-ordinate!" Saying that, Lin Yan pulled out his battle knife, "That's it!" Then the sword slashed, "Blow the trumpet!" Charge!! ”
Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, the dissatisfaction in his heart only rose and disappeared slightly, he was a smart person, he knew where his stage was, and he probably guessed why Lin Bin cultivated himself, there was indeed no need to be trapped in such a small scene.
The strong horn was blown "woo...... Woo woo woo ......", a loud shout was shouted at the same time, and the knights who were about to fall into battle rushed out according to the order of shouting "kill".
The first, second, and third rows of the order are spear-wielding lancers, who maintain a distance of about five meters between the front and the rear, and about two meters between the left and right, in order to avoid collisions between their own sides, and to maximize the lethality of the lancers' charges.
The lancers are one of the most powerful cavalry arms of this era, in fact, the lancers do not need to wear heavy armor, they are more commendable for the four-meter-long cavalry spear, but the cavalry spear is only a round of consumables, once you fall into the enemy formation, you need to abandon the inflexible cavalry lance and draw out the knife to fight.
It is worth mentioning that in the East, only the Han Department had the lancer as a troop, and it already had its own tactical skills.
The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth of the order of the archers, one of the most common types of cavalry in this era, were equipped with a cavalry bow with a range of about 200 meters, and they also carried a Han-style sword.
The seven-row archers followed almost immediately after the lancers charged, they were the most lethal ranged troops in this era, responsible for the first wave of attack forces that disrupted the local formation, and the archers did not fall directly into the enemy formation, they would detour from the left and right after firing three rounds of arrows, looking for opportunities to constantly carry out cruising cavalry shooting, so they were also one of the arms that suppressed the enemy army, and usually brought a lot of psychological pressure to the enemy army.
After the saddle and stirrup were popularized, the archer became more important, a deep cavalry archers can definitely influence the development of the war, but the archers have relatively high requirements for knights' equestrian skills and archery, generally speaking, the steppe people have an innate advantage.
If it was the Xiongnu army against the Han army, a well-equipped cavalry archer could achieve an overwhelming victory, and the reason was that the Han was dominated by infantry, and mobility and cavalry could not be compared. And what about the Xiongnu army against the army of the Han Dynasty? The answer is very vague, because there is no shortage of soldiers who are proficient in equestrianism and archery, and there is no shortage of war horses in the Han department, after all, the social structure of the Han is unprecedentedly complex, and almost everyone has it.
The array of the charge often exceeds twenty-five platoons and loses the need to increase again, the cavalry charge talks about a wide range of lethality, and the need to have a wide range of lethality requires a sufficient number of troops on the same starting line, the number of cavalry in a straight line has an advantage, but the queue is a waste of troops.
The first ten rows are lancers and archers, and the last fifteen rows are the most basic melee arms in the cavalry, they can be cavalry with spears, or cavalry with swords, spear cavalry is a characteristic type of agricultural people, but after the Han Dynasty, the spear cavalry was eliminated, replaced by the sword cavalry. It is said that after the end of the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, China did not have a strong cavalry, not that the soldiers could not ride the battle, but that the number of war horses was simply not enough.
Generally speaking, the cavalry battles of the ancient cold weapon war are tens of thousands of horses, but they are not on the same battlefield, no matter how vast the ground is, if the cavalry on both sides exceeds the number of 10,000 at the same time, then it looks like a sea of people. How many meters does it take for 10,000 cavalry to fight on the battlefield? It's hard to calculate, but cavalry isn't really as good as infantry if you don't have a roundabout. In this way, the number of cavalry entering the battlefield at the same time often does not exceed two thousand, and the unspoken rule is actually about one thousand. Cavalry operations often pay attention to not the whole army hula press, but the echelon combat mode, that is to say, the echelon in front is about to end, and the commander in the back orders another echelon to make up for it, and the cycle repeats itself, fighting for the follow-up explosive ability and the commander's judgment of the battle situation, of course, tactical skills are also necessary.
Zhao Xin's only purpose in staying in the rear was to see, to use his eyes and mind to judge when he needed to replenish the cavalry for the front! He saw that the army under his command broke through the front line of the Xiongnu army at the first moment, and the Hun cavalry, who had lost their courage, took the initiative to retreat without fighting to the death, and their faces became gloomy......
"Yi Zhixian, aren't you here yet!"
