Chapter 353: Secret
Speaking from the heart, Cao's army is indeed a rare elite, well-trained, well-equipped, disciplined, and tenacious, whether it is compared with Yuan Shao's Hebei army, or Jingzhou army and Jiangdong army, the combat effectiveness is strong.
However, compared with the Xiliang Army, it is always a little worse.
Compared with the Central Plains, the folk customs in the Guanliang area are more vigorous, and the style of the army is more tenacious.
The advantages of the Xiliang Army's armor are definitely the crown of the princes in the world, and the training is not bad for the Cao Army, and the military regulations and discipline are better than the Cao Army, especially after Luo Zheng implements the changes, after the reform of the military system, the new military merit system and military discipline have become the foundation of the strength of the Xiliang Army, which is not comparable to the armies of other princes in the world.
And in terms of the soldiers' suzhì, the Western Liang army also had an advantage.
Guanzhong and Liangzhou Duoqiang Hu people, perennial wars, resulting in the West Rim people are fierce, the soldiers' ability to withstand death is above the Central Plains, and Luo Zheng has never been stingy with the army under his command, not only to eat, but also to improve the soldiers' food as much as possible if possible, not to mention that there is meat for each meal, at least there must be oil and water for each meal.
With less food, the soldier's body will naturally be stronger, and his body and endurance will be better.
Coupled with a strong military system, all kinds of advantages are combined, and the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is still higher than that of the Cao Army.
Although Cao Jun is also a rare elite, he lacks the determination to fight to the death, and is not as desperate as the Xiliang Army, only the enemy's head and military merits are in his eyes, and he even does not hesitate to exchange his life for injuries in order to kill the enemy, and he has to cut off a few heads to go back to receive merit no matter what.
With the passage of time, the morale of the Xiliang army was like a rainbow, and it gradually became the leader.
On the other hand, the Cao army had already shown signs of defeat and retreat in the front, and it was torn open by the Xiliang army.
In this kind of hard-fought head-on decisive battle, all conspiracies and tricks are false, and only strength is real.
Even if Guo Jia is wise, in this hard-fought decisive battle, he has no ability to redeem Cao Jun's decline.
"Military division, the front army can't stop it."
The adjutant general's face was very ugly, and he said to Guo Jia
Guo Jia's heart was also a little heavy, the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army was indeed beyond his expectations, although the previous army was defeated and was about to be unstoppable, but his face did not change at all, and he still said lightly: "It's okay, hold on for a while." ”
The adjutant general said: "The front army will be defeated in one more pillar of incense at most, do you want to let the Chinese army press it?" ”
Guo Jia said: "No, before the Xiliang Army attacks on a large scale, the Chinese army must not act rashly, even if the front army is completely defeated, it is nothing, as long as the secrets of our army are not exposed." A mere 5,000 soldiers and horses is not enough to shake the Chinese army in our army. ”
The adjutant nodded and didn't say anything more, but his brows were tightly wrinkled together.
Seeing that the front army was about to be defeated by the Xiliang army, it was strange that the face should be good-looking.
In the case of similar troops, the Cao army formed a formation to defend, but could not stop the attack of the Xiliang army, which already shows that the combat effectiveness of the Cao army is inferior to that of the Xiliang army, which is equivalent to admitting defeat for the commanders.
And the generals who lead the troops, who will admit that they are inferior to others.
Therefore, the adjutant general's face was ugly, and he couldn't wait to rush to the front of the battle in person.
Xiliang Zhongjun, on the high platform.
Luo Zheng said: "Okay, great, the defeat of the Cao army has appeared, as long as the front of the Cao army is broken, it can be directly approached by the Chinese army, what is Guo Jiana hiding in the Chinese army, it is time to show it for the general to see." ”
Fa Zheng said loudly: "The elite of our army is really the best in the world, Guo Jia has a strange plan, but if he wants to fight with our army head-on, he will make a mistake." However, although the Cao army was in the front of the rout, our army only had 5,000 soldiers to attack, and if we wanted to take advantage of the situation to break the Cao army, the Chinese army was afraid that it would not be able to catch it, so the lord could order the whole army to attack and take advantage of the situation to break the Cao army. ”
Jia Xu also said: "It's time for the whole army to press." ”
Luo Zheng frowned and said: "Guo Ghost is not so easy to defeat, Cao Jun Zhongjun must have ghosts." ”
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said: "Yizheng Keqi, this is the essence of using soldiers, even if the Cao army has tricks, but it is difficult to have the spare strength to play in the dignified decisive battle." Moreover, our army still has 30,000 cavalry on standby, and if the battle changes, 30,000 cavalry can launch a fatal blow to Cao's army at any time. Even if it can't defeat the Cao army, it can make it difficult for the Cao army to succeed in their tricks and cover the army from the battlefield. ”
Fa Zheng also nodded and said: "Yes, in the face of absolute strength, there will be nothing to hide from a single conspiracy and trickery. ”
Luo Zheng thought about it for a while, and then said categorically: "Order, the whole army will attack." ”
"Yes!"
Gao Shun responded loudly, and then waved his hand violently.
The drums changed again, and the five-color flag on the high platform of the Chinese army kept changing.
After receiving the order of the generals of the Chinese army, the generals of the various departments immediately pressed the whole army, except for the 30,000 cavalry who swept the formation on the left flank of the army, only 3,000 wolf cavalry guards were left and right around the tower of the Chinese army, and the horn of the charge had exploded under the sky.
Cao Jun Zhongjun, on the high platform.
"Military division, the whole army of the Xiliang Army has been dispatched."
The adjutant general's face changed, and he hurriedly said to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia's spirits perked up and said: "The order, order the front army to fight to the death and not retreat, and be sure to hold on until the main force of the Xiliang Army arrives." ”
"Yes!"
The officer on duty answered loudly and quickly passed down the military order.
"Fight to the death!"
In front of Cao's army, the commander of the army had a hideous face, covered in blood, and raised his sword and roared.
"Fight to the death!"
Thousands of Cao soldiers responded with three calls, and the momentum was still undiminished.
However, in the face of the desperate attack of the Western Liang army, although the Cao army had not yet been defeated, it was still retreating.
In time, the main force of the Western Liang Army arrived, and the front of the Cao Army could no longer stop the overwhelming attack of the Western Liang Army, and was defeated by a blow, and retreated to the two flanks in a hurry, exposing the Cao Army's central army without reservation.
"Huh?"
At this time, the former army also saw the situation of Cao's army,
Almost at the same time, Luo Zheng and others, who were watching the battle from the high platform of the Chinese army, also changed their faces sharply.
I saw that after the front army of the Cao army was defeated, the countless flags in front of the Chinese army had been removed, and a majestic buffalo was driven to the front of the Chinese army, each buffalo was tied to a bundle of firewood, and there was a Cao army soldier with a torch standing beside him.
At this moment, the torches of the Cao soldiers had been ignited and thrown on the firewood on the back of the ox.
No one thought that Guo Jia would hide so many buffaloes in the army.
Anyone who has read history books knows that Qi Xiang Tian Dan once broke the Yan army with a fire bull array, and in this situation, whether it is Luo Zheng, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and others, they all thought of Tian Dan's classic war of breaking Le Yi for the first time.
The bundles of lit firewood on the back of the buffalo seem to have turned into a terrible ghost asking for their lives, which is particularly hideous.
Luo Zheng's face became extremely ugly in an instant, and he grabbed the railing of the high platform violently.
The hearts of Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and the others also rose in an instant, and even the breath was a little unsmooth.
The Xiliang Chinese Army, as early as when the whole army attacked, Gao Shun had already arrived at the commander of the Chinese army.
At this moment, after seeing the buffalo caught up by Cao Junzhong's army, Gao Shun's face still did not change at all, but his eyes shrank fiercely, and he decisively waved his hand and ordered, "Order, line up on the spot!" ”R1152
