Chapter 149: Zhao Li's Covenant Battle
Fang Yunjun's soldiers are all elites, and they have been confirmed in battles in the past few years.
Naturally, his training methods also became the object of study for all princes. Naturally, there is no way for people to enter the military zone, but if someone wants to investigate, they can still find some fur.
For example, the political commissar, this measure is actually similar to that of the supervising army, but the functions and powers are different. The appearance of political commissars has certain benefits for the princes to control the army below, especially in terms of propaganda, and the effect of having a political commissar is completely different from that of not having a political commissar.
Not to mention anything else, it is only necessary to make the ordinary troops that were originally attrition to four achievements collapse, and only collapse when they are promoted to fifty percent, which is an advantage in itself. After all, in the course of the battle between the two armies, it is not uncommon for the effort of the two armies to be quickly reduced by more than 20%.
Then there was queue training, and even some physical training or something, which more or less went out. However, most of these training methods are based on the consumption of a lot of nutrients, so not everyone can play it.
At least, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, who still had a little problem with their own military rations, naturally couldn't play this trick.
Finally, there is the siege camp, which is mainly composed of military research institutes. The princes have now realized the idea that if they are backward, they will be beaten, so the development of military science and technology is obviously an urgent matter. The only thing that made them depressed was that there were few excellent craftsmen and craftsmen with a research spirit, and most of them were poached by the caravans from the north.
This is not only Fang Yun who is starting, but other businessmen are also starting.
This part of the merchants is mainly sitting merchants, opening workshops and not lacking in money. They need a large number of craftsmen to help him improve the level of his skills, as well as the quality and yield of the product. There are some things that don't need to be reformed by Fang Yun, as long as they develop to a certain extent, these things will naturally be thought of and then done.
The only thing that left him speechless was that the stirrups and horseshoes were still flowing out. After all, there is no scientific content, look at everyone knows how to do it. And when making them, Fang Yun was also ready to be discovered one day and learn from the past. Initially. He even thought that a month after the invention was invented, it would be mastered by the princes.
Being able to be mastered by the princes after a few years is already a very good result.
In fact, not only that, but the mounted archery mode of the Flying Wing Battalion. It was also imitated by Han Sui. And in his opinion, Fang Yun's cavalry archers who were transferred from ordinary soldiers were not at all like Hu Cai, who had grown up on horseback since childhood. More than 5,000 people under his command were from nomadic peoples, some were Southern Xiongnu and some were Qiang. There are even Xianbei people.
These people have been qualified soldiers since childhood, and after changing to stirrups, they are able to shoot accurately even on horseback. Within 50 meters, almost all targets hit directly without missing shots.
Unlike the Flying Wing Battalion, the Flying Wing Battalion uses a militarized charge formation to shoot and wound the enemy with covering fire. With a strong bow in his hand, he was able to shoot at enemies from a distance of 100 meters. Of course, if you want to improve penetration, it is naturally best to shoot within 50 meters.
Han Sui's unit was mainly focused on precision shooting. And they themselves come from a variety of different forces. So if it's on the battlefield. Han Sui would disperse them into small Gu troops, covering the entire battlefield in a sporadic manner. Support each other in a dodging stance while firing at the enemy with precision.
I have to say that if it is a poorly protected army, especially the foot soldiers, it is definitely a nightmare to face this army. This was also the main reason why he had the confidence to fight with Fang Yun's troops. Not to mention, he still has five thousand foot soldiers to call!
That night, more than a dozen soldiers returned to the barracks. They were all monitors arranged by Han Sui outside the city. Their main task was to determine whether the enemy had left Pingyang County.
If they leave, then it is obvious that the problem of the sluice gate has been known to them, so the method of water attack is obviously unnecessary; If not. Then he will open the dam tonight, and then a large amount of river water will rush downstream, at least about 30% will enter Pingyang County. This amount of water is enough to soak most of the other party's supplies.
Otherwise, if the grain is blistered, there are only two possibilities. One is mold and the other is germination. The latter is okay, but if the former is still eaten, there is a high chance that it will cause stomach trouble.
Even if nothing happens, it is enough to make them panic for a while, and it is impossible to say that the unscrupulous general will let the soldiers leave the city in a panic, and in the absence of effective command, they will kill blatantly, and the effect is naturally outstanding!
However, according to these watchers, the other party left the city less than two hours after entering the city. Apparently, they have found their own arrangement. The existence of sluices is actually not very common in the north, and only some cities near the river will be built, so he originally thought that Fang Jun might not be able to see the clues.
"Increase the range of scouts and get ready for battle! By the way, be careful of the other party's night attack, I heard that Fang Yunjun is best at this! After giving another order, Han Sui returned to the tent to rest.
Of course, everyone is safe, in fact, unless there is full confidence in this kind of thing, even the Fang army will not carry it out easily. They can indeed have a night market, but there must be a large number of bonfires lit in the tents of the enemy army, and this kind of sudden encounter with a strong light source in the dark night also requires a period of adaptation for the eyes.
At this time, the soldiers are actually in a more dangerous situation, at least when fighting, if they can't adapt to this light source, they are likely to be killed by the other party, or accidentally injure friendly soldiers.
Even if the other party itself is blinded by the black light, when it comes to the actual start of the war, the dark night will greatly reduce the resolution, especially the judgment of color. If one is not careful, he will shoot at his comrades, so there are actually many soldiers who attack at night, but they do not die under the enemy's sword, but at the hands of their own people.
I just fell asleep, but I didn't want a soldier to come in a hurry to report.
At that time, Han Sui was startled, thinking that the enemy army was coming to attack at night. But the soldier had come to tell him that the enemy had sent a letter of war, inviting them to fight to the death tomorrow.
"Do you really think it's the era of the pre-Qin kingdoms?" Seeing this battle book, Han Sui was also speechless.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, he somewhat learned that the princes who were divided at that time were all children surnamed Ji, and they were more or less related, while the Zhou Dynasty was still there. Naturally, they could not usurp the throne, but they went to war for the hegemony of the world.
Their way of fighting is the same as Fang Yun now, everything is dignified, and even the soldiers are finished fighting. They will also go to support the vanquished, laugh at each other or something, and say that it is a war rather than a farce.
This Fang Yun, is he really starting to mind that he is from a clay leg, so he plans to be a vassal and elegant? Not sure why. I knew it was unlikely, but I couldn't stop the idea from happening!
"There is fraud!" Han Sui is Han Sui, he is not stupid, so he can imagine that behind the other party's uprightness, there must be some kind of unknown conspiracy. If he couldn't even see through this, then he wouldn't be alive now.
"Send more men and set up a bonfire within fifty paces of the camp!" Han Sui immediately gave the order.
Not only that, but he also sent people to patrol the surroundings in batches, and nothing happened that night. Obviously, the enemy did not explicitly say that the decisive battle would be fought tomorrow. But he launched a night attack or something that night.
"Are you really planning to fight us in a dignified battle?" Han Sui couldn't help but be confused at the moment.
"Where are Chen Tao and Fan Chou's troops?" Han Sui immediately summoned his henchmen Li Kan and Yang Qiu to inquire.
"After our spies found out, both forces are operating within a hundred miles of each other, and I am afraid that it is impossible to come here without a day or two. However, judging from their marching routes, it is very likely that the three armies will eventually converge in Jiangyi. It's just that Chen Tao and Fan Chou didn't expect that we would meet their foot soldiers here.
At this moment, even if Zhao Li asked the two troops for help, if he wanted to rush over, he would at least wait until tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow. We have enough time to have a decisive battle with each other! Lord, since they have come to the door, destroy them! "It's different from Li Kan's third-rate trick. Yang Qiu is a second-rate military general, so he naturally has more status and the right to speak.
"Is there any possibility of reinforcements from other troops?" Han Sui was still not at ease.
"No specific intelligence has been reported, but no news of other reinforcements has been found at this stage!" Li Kan rarely seized the opportunity and immediately stepped forward to report.
"If only they had 8,000 foot soldiers. Then it's not a cause for concern...... Come on! Gather the cavalry and go with me! Han Sui weighed it carefully, and finally decided to fight with Zhao Li's troops.
The most important thing is that he left his foot soldiers, and even if he was defeated, he would not lose all his money. At the same time, the cavalry was different from the infantry, and there was no cavalry in Zhao Li's army. At most, there are more than 200 scouts, so even if you can't beat them, you can quickly escape. Besides, Han Sui was still very confident in the cavalry under his command.
Not to mention the superb riding skills, which allows them to perform various difficult dodge maneuvers on horseback to dodge the opponent's bow and arrow. Not to mention that their own riding and archery ability is very terrifying, and they also have good combat effectiveness in close combat, this kind of cavalry is definitely a nightmare for ordinary foot soldiers. At least, Han Sui felt that in the territory of the Han Dynasty, he was afraid that there were not many troops who were their opponents!
Five thousand cavalry have been mobilized, of which 3,000 are under the command of Han Sui, and 2,000 are handed over to Yang Qiu. Li Kan stayed in the barracks and was optimistic about the 5,000 foot soldiers.
Li Kan was originally just a third-rate military general, and his ability was limited, so he was not reluctant to do anything. And staying behind is not necessarily without benefits, at least there will be no fear of defeat, and at a critical moment you can even send troops to rescue, which is not a great achievement.
Near the makeshift dam, Zhao Li had already taken the lead in setting up a position there. The siege battalion did not engage in this battle, but remained in the rear. Their main duty was to siege the city, as well as to fortify some fortresses, and field warfare was none of their business from the beginning.
Zhao Li was not easy at the moment, he only had 5,000 foot soldiers, while the other party had 10,000 people, and even 5,000 cavalry.
"Where is General Zhou Cang?" Zhao Li once again invited his cronies to ask.
"There are still fifty miles to arrive, and it will take two quarters of an hour to say the least, but considering the need to save horsepower, I am afraid that there will be no three quarters of an hour to half an hour, and I am afraid that there will be no way to arrive!" The cronies whispered.
Looking at the horizon in the distance, Zhao Li couldn't help but sweat at the moment. Success or failure is here, I only hope that General Zhou Cang can come over soon!
At this moment, there is still an hour before the two sides agree on the time to start the war...... (To be continued.) )
PS: A dignified appointment, but I don't know how Han Sui responded.
