Chapter 76 Comparison
"Brother, it's really daunting for your mount to have this armor!"
Xiao Tianyou was really startled when he saw the armored steel mane, the steel mane without armor was fierce enough, and the armored steel mane was even more terrifying, making people feel irresistible. The thick iron chain is connected with thick armor plates, protecting some vital parts, even if the enemy has a divine weapon in hand, it is difficult to easily hurt, and the fangs are covered with sharper metal spikes, which are cold and shining, making people feel cold.
Xiao Tianyou was already responsible for managing some ordnance, armor and weapon casting and other affairs in Beiliang, and he was more knowledgeable, and when he saw the armor of the steel mane, he knew that it was not easy to build, whether it was the smelting of Qijin, or the design and modeling, it was definitely a master-level craft, and he took a look at the strength of the Brotherhood again.
Not only is the armor of the steel mane, but the armor on Xiao Tianlei and the others is not ordinary, but the style is a little peculiar, especially the horn helmets of Xiao Tianlei and Jiang Kui, which give people a barbaric taste. As for the origin of these armors, Xiao Tianyou thought that they were brought by the caravan of the Brotherhood, and he would not have thought that they were made with the odd gold he paid.
In fact, Xiao Tianlei still has some hidden, and he has purchased new equipment, although his strength has increased greatly, but the shape of some of these parts is really exaggerated and conspicuous, and there is no need not to wear them out to show off. In addition, the accompanying Shanyue warriors also asked for some armor and weapons of the Beiliang elite soldiers from Xiao Tianyou, so as not to wear the dress of Lingzhou people and be too abrupt on the battlefield.
Xiao Tianlei had already told Xiao Tianyou that he wanted to watch the battle, but the two sides were fighting on the battlefield, and the outsiders ran to the middle, saying that they could not be regarded as spies by the soldiers on both sides, and they were attacked on both sides.
"Brother clan, why don't you join my Beiliang Army, with the ability of the clan brother, you can make meritorious achievements, and glory and wealth are at your fingertips? You and I are of the same clan and clan, and we just happen to do a career together. ”
Xiao Tianyou had this idea earlier, after all, Xiao Tianlei was really outstanding, if Xiao Tianlei was willing to play for Bei Liang, not only would there be a few more young generals with good martial arts, but the power of the Brotherhood would also be used by Bei Liang.
"Hey ......"
The corners of Xiao Tianlei's mouth twitched, he glanced at Xiao Tianyou, hey, and didn't make any other response, working for Beiliang? What's the difference between that and playing for Great Xia? Xiao Tianlei has no intention of working for others, and it is not a part-time job, once he works for these countries, many things are involuntarily, all kinds of unfree, glory and wealth or something, it is nothing more than a few false names, seemingly beautiful, thinking that he has a very high status, in fact, people say that they will take it away, and it is not easy to say whether the small life is their own. Of course, in terms of the thoughts of people in this world, Xiao Tianyou is right, but unfortunately, Xiao Tianlei's thoughts are completely different, and he can't say anything at all, and he still has to rely on Xiao Tianyou's help to watch the battle.
In order to persuade Xiao Tianlei, Xiao Tianyou really prepared a lot of rhetoric, but Xiao Tianlei responded coldly, and his rhetoric was useless, but he still heard the disdain, and he really couldn't figure out Xiao Tianlei's thoughts. Even if you don't want to be rich and prosperous, what young person doesn't want to do a career and don't want to be a master?
Think about it carefully, the glory and wealth, high-ranking officials and others are indeed unattractive to Xiao Tianlei and others, the power of the brotherhood is not small, and there are countless amounts of money, judging from the behavior of Xiao Tianlei and others, arrogant, unreasonable, and disagreeable may be killed, and the whole group of empty-eyed and lawless boys. Usually stunned, I don't care about many things, and I even feel a little stupid, but when I encounter some things, I am extremely shrewd. If you want to subdue these kids, you have to be more fierce, more vicious, more domineering, and more shrewd, but with these kids' martial arts, there is really no one who can deal with the discussion.
Xiao Tianyou remembered some historical stories, such as Xiao Tianlei, I am afraid that only some legendary masters can surrender.
Xiao Tianyou admitted that he didn't have that ability, nor did he have that eloquence, and he didn't say much, in order to ease the atmosphere, he talked to Xiao Tianlei and others about some previous wars and the like.
Xiao Tianlei watched some film and television dramas in his previous life, in order to appear grandiose, there were often such scenes, hundreds of thousands of people on both sides were placed on the vast plains to fight and fight, in fact, this kind of large-scale frontal battle, that kind of situation should only exist in a specific era and a specific background, and there are definitely not many. It is definitely not a big battle that is over, everyone goes back to their own homes, the more normal situation is that the generals of both sides bring their own soldiers, start a small-scale battle, from a small victory, slowly accumulate advantages, or grasp the opponent's vital points, and finally the decisive battle, yes, a war often lasts for months or even years.
Under the circumstance that the communication and command system is relatively backward, in an ordinary battle, an ordinary general cannot lead too many soldiers, so it is very likely that he will not be able to command, and under normal circumstances, there are not many people in each military general, hundreds or even two or three thousand.
At this time, Xiao Tianyou led 300 cavalry under his command and 1,000 ordinary soldiers, as an auxiliary army, mainly engaged in transporting some grain and grass materials, and also doing some miscellaneous affairs, Xiao Tianlei and his party were also mixed in.
In fact, Jiang Kui, Wu Meng, Xiao Tianbao, and Leng Lie wanted to show their skills on the battlefield and earn some gold coins, but Xiao Tianlei and his party had no position to join this war at all. Although the relationship with Daxia is not good, it will not help Beiliang to fight, even if he helps, in what capacity? As Xiao Tianyou said, take refuge in Beiliang? That's absolutely impossible. Xiao Tianlei didn't think that Bei Liang had any benefits, and it was worth getting involved in this war. However, since they are on the battlefield, all kinds of situations can happen, and the group is really small for hundreds of thousands of people on both sides, the main thing is to protect themselves, don't look at the excitement, and end up putting themselves in.
The LOL system gave Xiao Tianlei an accident, being in it, being recognized by the system as entering a combat state, and even being able to get gold coins, although the increase is very slow, it is an excellent news, and it has been up for a few months, isn't it sent? Not only the game gold, but also the system gold is estimated to earn a vote, and the larger the scale of the war, the more gold you get.
At this time, Great Xia and Beiliang went to war, and the vast area of the border between the two countries was like a huge chessboard, and the two sides started a game.
Fighting a war not only depends on the bravery of the generals, but also depends on the strategy of both sides and who is superior in chess. From the time of the official dispatch of troops in Great Xia, the generals of both sides also began to speculate on the enemy's strategy and make various countermeasures, so they spread maze and spread false news. In this battle, the Beiliang side was on the defensive, even if Great Xia had officially sent troops, it was still not clear the direction of the main attack of the Great Xia army, so all the passes and cities along the long border line were strengthened one by one and various arrangements were made to deal with possible attacks.
Xiao Tianyou's army is very busy every day, running back and forth between the front line and the city in the rear, carrying all kinds of materials like ants, and the soldiers are tired one by one, Xiao Tianlei is full of interest.
According to what he said in his previous life, the war is fought against the comprehensive strength of the country, the economy, logistics, and the morale of the people.
Observing the logistics operation of the Beiliang army, Xiao Tianlei discussed with a group of brothers in the private chat system, although there was not much contact in the previous life, but the world war was also fought for thousands of years, and a lot of experience was integrated into some film and television literary works, and even the gossip of life, listening to some people who understand military affairs, bragging, and hearing and seeing, what sports warfare, guerrilla warfare, special warfare, intelligence warfare, economic warfare, etc., I know a little bit, as for whether it is right or wrong, whether it is really practical, and now I have witnessed the war in this world, Xiao Tianlei compares the two, Think more, discuss more with your brothers, and you can always find the answer.
Xiao Tianyou was still worried that Xiao Tianlei was running around, but as a result, a few boys were honest, riding their mounts all day long, looking east and west, as if they were here to play. He really didn't understand what Xiao Tianlei was doing, but although he knew where Xiao Tianlei came from, he was still a relative, Xiao Tianyou also maintained a certain vigilance, otherwise he would not arrange them in his own army, monitor them at any time, and as auxiliaries, he would basically not have access to some secrets in the Beiliang Army.
How did Xiao Tianyou know that what Xiao Tianlei wanted to see was completely different from what he said he thought, he really showed some secrets to Xiao Tianlei, and Xiao Tianlei didn't necessarily take it seriously.
The Beiliang army doesn't have many secrets about Xiao Tianlei at all, many things are afraid that you will think about it carefully, some things that you are usually accustomed to, once you ponder, you can often find a lot of problems, not to mention that Xiao Tianlei is not alone, a large group of brothers in the private chat system, each expressing their opinions, although some ideas are a little strange, you can always find some truth.
Xiao Tianlei doesn't know much about those strategies or something, he always feels that this thing is a double-edged sword, and if he doesn't do it, he didn't get to others when he dug a pit, so he gave himself a pit. In some stories, see those strategists are like gods, and in fact, the success of many strategies has many fluke elements, and there are too many variables in reality, and it will be self-defeating if you don't do it well. However, some simple strategies can play a huge role, so it is important to be flexible on the battlefield.
Of course, the outcome of one or two battles does not affect the outcome of the entire war, and fighting a war still depends on hard power; even if the strength is strong, there is no need to fight hard, and it is necessary to use reasonable strategies and tactics to achieve the greatest results at the minimum cost; if the enemy is injured by 1,000 and self-inflicted losses of 800, winning is equivalent to losing.
Of course, the basis for winning or losing a war is to do everything in a down-to-earth manner, every bag of food, every soldier's equipment, and every war horse...... From one to ten, to a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million! Eventually, it will gather into a huge advantage, a torrent that crushes everything.
Of course, that's the ideal state, but it's extremely difficult to actually do that, and there will always be problems of one kind or another in reality.
Let's just say that the Beiliang army, in addition to those elite soldiers, is okay, and the others are not real soldiers at all, although the individual force of the soldiers of Beiliang is not weak, and they are very fierce, but the soldiers are a little loose, advocating martial arts is a good thing, but there is some personal heroism, and they can abide by military discipline in peacetime, and their brains are hot, and they probably forget everything. This is actually beneficial, once these soldiers get excited, they will become fierce and fearless of death, in fact, they are hot-headed, and they forget about any danger, life and death. Therefore, in such an army, morale is very important, the side with high morale is not afraid of death, and the side with low morale is timid in their hearts and just wants to flee for their lives, and there is no need to say much about victory or defeat.
And in order to improve morale, in the war of this world, the fighting general has become a key link, the victory or loss of the fighting general, to a large extent determines the victory or loss of the battle, after all, the force value of a well-equipped general, compared to ordinary soldiers is almost impossible to defeat, more than one soldier, a large group of soldiers may not have to get a general, people will be afraid and afraid, under normal circumstances, no one will fight hard, so, a military general on the battlefield can be called a thousand enemies, ten thousand enemies, real fighting, Not necessarily how much you can deal with. It's just that most people have a herd mentality, and if one person is afraid of running away, others will follow, which may even lead to the rout of the whole army.
In addition to generals, the role of elite soldiers is also very important, and an elite soldier can turn the tide of the battle if used well. Therefore, whether it is Daxia or Beiliang, there are some very famous elite soldiers, who have attracted wide attention as soon as they appear on the battlefield. In addition to the elite soldiers who kill the enemy on the frontal battlefield, there are also some elite soldiers who specialize in some special combat missions, which are actually equivalent to special forces, and also play a key role, including some martial artists with high martial arts.
The warriors can be said to be another battlefield in the war, and the warriors and assassins of Beiliang and Daxia are fighting openly or secretly.
Some of the influence of warriors and generals on the war is obvious, the most direct is the city wall of the city, in order to defend against warriors and generals, they are generally built very high, even if they can jump up, they will consume a lot of qi, and then the soldiers on the city wall can result in you a few times. However, in the history of this world, there are also some super-first-class generals, paired with first-class mounts of the divine horse, to complete the feat of capturing the city with one person and one horse.
However, such an exciting event has not yet appeared in this war, and the two sides of the war are advancing steadily, and the army of Great Xia is encamped in a place called Bailuyuan, which stretches for dozens of miles, and is known as the army of 800,000. The Beiliang side is guarding the city and waiting for changes. There were some clashes between the two sides and just some small reconnaissance forces, and Daxia launched several surprise attacks from some trails, but because the Beiliang side had already taken precautions, they had to give up halfway.
After that, there was no large-scale battle for a while, but the Great Xia side sent some generals to fight, and the generals of both sides fought a few battles under the city, winning and losing each other, but there were few deaths. In a fight between generals, unless the gap between the two sides is too big, or they die by themselves, be careful and have a correct judgment of their own strength, but it is not so easy to die, at least they can escape by relying on their mounts.
Xiao Tianlei and his entourage watched a few scenes on the city wall, and the real fight was just like that, although it was also very exciting, it was still a dialogue between the two sides reading the lines according to the script, which made Xiao Tianlei feel even more happy, basically "Who is coming?" "I'm a so-and-so general" "Take your life!" "Look for death!" …… Something like that.
There are also certain rules for fighting generals, and there is a certain reason, for example, you generally have to fight a dignified battle, and you will not sneak attack, whether it is because of the self-esteem of the generals as warriors, or the actual effect, you have to do this. If you use despicable means, not only will the other side look down on you, but the soldiers on your own side will also feel embarrassed and their morale will drop.
Xiao Tianlei and his party are not completely watching the excitement, and following Xiao Tianyou to transport materials does not mean that they are completely safe.
On this day, a group of people was on the way to deliver supplies, and suddenly, a group of Great Xia cavalry came out of the mountains and forests on one side, shouting, waving weapons, and rushing to kill.
"Brother Lei, what should I do?" Xiao Tianbao asked.
"What else can I do? Up! Xiao Tianlei said as a matter of course, since he was in Xiao Tianyou's team, those soldiers and generals of Great Xia would never let them go because they said, "We are here to see the excitement", as for killing people or something, they always have to die on the battlefield, right?
"Oooh!" As soon as Xiao Tianlei's voice fell, Xiao Tianbao, Jiang Kui, Wu Meng, and Leng Lie had already rushed out, and Xiao Tianlei urged the steel mane and pounced out. (To be continued.) )
