Chapter 441: A Powerful Army in the World A Fatal Mistake
Facing the Wei army that rushed towards him, Ma Chao and even the Han army he led did not panic. The Wei army led by Jiang Wei is the elite of the world, so why not the 3,000 Liangzhou army?
Even if they marched continuously at high intensity for several days, even if the number of enemies was much more than their own at this moment, the fighting spirit of the 3,000 Liangzhou army was not affected in the slightest.
If we want to have an elite army, we must have excellent logistical support. And although Liangzhou's national strength is not rich, in the past days, Mi Yang would rather suffer himself than let his soldiers worry about food and clothing.
Since the day of the establishment of Mi Yang's descendant army,
The logistics standard of "three meals a day, one meat for seven days" has not changed for a day. Such a logistical standard can only be said to be extremely ordinary in later generations, and can even be called harsh.
But in the precarious world, Mi Yang's logistics investment in the army is enough to become the crown of the world.
If it weren't for this standard, Liangzhou's national strength would not have reached the point where it is so stretched today.
However, it has the best logistics standard in the world, which means that the Liangzhou Army has the foundation to initially become the strongest army in the world.
Although the efforts in the past are huge, there will always be a day when they will be rewarded. In the face of thousands of enemy troops rushing head-on, and in the face of the enemy's horn rushing into the sky, the 3,000 Liangzhou army under the leadership of Ma Chao has already lined up the array.
There are not many 3,000 Liangzhou troops, even if they are lined up in a row and placed on the vast land, they seem quite small.
If the vast land under the feet of the 3,000 Liangzhou troops is compared to a turbid river, then the 3,000 Liangzhou troops at this moment are like a reef in this turbid river.
It's small, but it's not to be overlooked. After commanding the Wei army to charge, the bold Jiang Wei was not like a strong end, and he cowered in the army because he was afraid of Ma Chao's prestige.
Young and vigorous, he drove a horse under his crotch and held a spear to the forefront of thousands of Wei troops.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! And if you want all your soldiers to become brave, the performance of the main general is crucial.
What's more, Jiang Wei is still the vanguard general of the Wei army. The behavior of a fighting general in the world is rare, but it is not uncommon to be a pioneer general.
In a bloody world, this kind of behavior is one of the best ways to motivate one's own soldiers. Jiang Wei, who was at the forefront of the attack, was not far from the large array of the Liangzhou army.
At this distance, the expressions of the soldiers in the front row of the Liangzhou Army could be seen clearly by him. However, Jiang Wei did not see the frightened look on Liang Zhoujun's face, and he didn't even panic.
According to common sense, if they are unprepared, they should feel panicked if they suddenly encounter an enemy army in the field that is much larger than their own.
But no. How did Jiang Wei know that Mi Yang's descendant army began with the 6,000 Jingzhou troops stationed in public security that year.
This is the source of pride of the Liangzhou Army, and it is also the glory engraved on the Liangzhou Army for a lifetime. With such a past, the Liangzhou army is naturally different from the ordinary army in the world.
It can be said that since the day the Liangzhou Army became an army, they have been fighting battles with less to win more! The doubts in Jiang Wei's heart didn't last long, and he led hundreds of horsemen to the outside of the Liangzhou army's array.
Since there is a large army composed of alien races, there must be a part of the cavalry in the army. It's just that the strong end didn't expect that Ma Chao would suddenly lead the army into Wudu.
Originally, he only wanted to lead the army to assist Jiang Wei in leveling Wudu, so most of the troops he brought this time were infantry troops, and the cavalry army was only a few hundred.
But even if there are only a few hundred cavalry troops, if they are used well, the effect will not be small. Jiang Wei grew up in Liangzhou since he was a child, even if he had no experience of commanding a cavalry army before, Liangzhou has almost become a racetrack for the Qiang alien race since Emperor Xiaoling.
Jiang Wei, who has never eaten pork but has often seen pigs running, is no stranger to the use of the Qiang Cavalry.
After leading hundreds of light cavalry troops to approach the array of the Liangzhou army, Jiang Wei immediately commanded the light cavalry army behind him to disperse, and lofted outside the array of the Liangzhou army with super high mobility.
When the hundreds of light cavalry troops had accomplished this, Jiang Wei immediately commanded them to shoot arrows into the Liangzhou army's array.
The arrows released under the gallop missed, even if the Qiang people were all good riders, they could not guarantee how accurate the arrows they shot were.
However, what Jiang Wei wanted was not how many Liangzhou troops would be hit by the hundreds of arrows shot, what he wanted was to use these hundreds of arrows to disrupt the formation of the Liangzhou army.
People are afraid of death, and once they are faced with the loss of their own rays, they will subconsciously avoid it.
As long as there is a riot in the array of the Liangzhou army, then the thousands of Wei infantry troops who are quickly rushing towards the Liangzhou army in the rear can easily rush into the array of the Liangzhou army.
In the past, when the Taishou in Liangzhou organized officers and troops to resist the Qiang rebels, they were often defeated by the Qiang rebels.
Since there is a successful precedent, Jiang Wei has no reason not to use it. Jiang Wei watched with hopeful eyes as hundreds of detachments flew towards the array of the Liangzhou army, but to his disappointment, the scene he was expecting did not happen.
Jiang Wei is gifted and intelligent, and he can quickly learn other people's excellent combat methods. But Ma Chao didn't need to learn at all, and even many of the cavalry's excellent combat methods were invented by him.
When Jiang Wei led hundreds of light cavalry troops first, Ma Chao could see Jiang Wei's intentions at a glance. So before Jiang Wei ordered hundreds of light cavalry troops to launch and lose, Ma Chao had already issued an order first.
Ma Dai, who had been following Ma Chao, immediately waved the order flag in his hand after hearing Ma Chao's command.
After a few years, the crimson order flag exclusive to the Han finally reappeared on the land of the lower debate. With the continuous waving of the crimson order flag, the Liangzhou army who received the order instinctively raised the shield in his hand to guard the sky above him.
Almost instantly, with the sound of the collision of armor stomachs, an impregnable barrier composed of shields appeared above the three thousand Liangzhou troops.
When hundreds of losses collided with this barrier, they could not pose the slightest threat to the Liangzhou army below the barrier.
The Liangzhou Army is also composed of people, and as long as they are people, they will have the desire to survive. It's just that in the process of the formation of the Liangzhou Army, Mi Yang has been instilling a concept - as long as he trains diligently, he can greatly increase his survival rate on the battlefield.
After several years of continuous propaganda, this concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Liangzhou Jun. It is precisely because of this concept that the Liangzhou army has always maintained its composure.
Under the effective defense of the Liangzhou army, Jiang Wei led the light cavalry army to disrupt the Liangzhou army's intention, but it did not achieve results at all.
At this time, the thousands of Wei army infantry troops in the rear had also rushed to the front of the Liangzhou army's array. When his own army appeared on the battlefield, Jiang Wei could no longer continue to use the tactics of draining and disrupting.
Otherwise, Jiang Wei felt that the Liangzhou army might continue to be as solid as a rock at that time, and it would be his own side that was disrupted first.
After thinking of this, Jiang Wei asked hundreds of light cavalry troops to go around to the rear of the Liangzhou army. If the Liangzhou army is defeated for a while, then these hundreds of light cavalry troops guarding behind them will launch the most fatal blow against them.
After completing this step, Jiang Wei regained his spirits and commanded his own infantry army that had already joined the battlefield, holding a spear and stabbing towards the array of the Liangzhou army.
When the two infantry armies meet, going all the way is the best tactic. Because the number of the Wei army was much larger than that of the Liangzhou army, compared with the array formed by the Liangzhou army, the infantry army of the Wei army appeared more imposing.
Bursts of high shouts sounded in the Wei army's infantry formation, and this shout represented the Wei army's determination to win.
On the other hand, on the side of the Liangzhou army, they were inferior in numbers and did not shout loudly to boost their morale.
Because from the very beginning, their morale was always at its peak. They remained silent, only the sound of the collision of sharp blades resounded in the array of the Liangzhou army.
The silent Liangzhou army made Jiang Wei frown for the first time. Since Mi Yang became the pastor of Liangzhou, his army has not had a record in the world for nearly a year.
Everyone knows that Mi Yang has been repairing armaments in Liangzhou for the past year, and the army has been reorganized. However, due to the good secrecy work, few people know what kind of strong army Mi Yang has trained under a year of continuous training.
Now it seems that Jiang Wei has first glimpsed the demeanor of this army. As the two armies continued to approach, the spear formations of the two armies came into contact soon after.
A series of piercing sharp weapons roared suddenly on the ground outside the lower debate. And after this fierce roar sounded, many fierce shouts rang out among the two armies one after another.
Compared with the cavalry, the infantry army actually does not have many magnificent combat methods, and there is always only one mainstream combat method for them - that is, formation impact.
Rushing past means that your infantry has won this battle. But if you can't rush through, under a long-term stalemate, the attacking side will inevitably lose!
However, although the combat methods of the infantry army are old-fashioned, they are often also the battles of the infantry army, which are the most bloody and tragic.
It's like a two-sided army at this moment. As soon as they made contact, many of the armies on both sides were stabbed and fell by the enemy's spears.
And when one of the comrades in front fell, the comrades in the rear immediately rose to the top. And so on, with flesh and blood against the enemy's blade.
Watching his own army, which continued to fall under the spear stabbing of the Han army, Jiang Wei seemed to be very calm all the time.
Even if the current situation is that more soldiers have fallen on the Wei side. At this moment, he had completely seen the elite of the Liangzhou army.
When the situation is unfavorable to oneself on the surface, it can not panic, but can organize an attack in an orderly manner, and gain the advantage of the two armies in a short period of time, which few strong armies in the world can do.
But so what? His own army is nearly three times that of the Liangzhou army, and the Liangzhou army can exchange one for two, and can it not be exchanged for three?
A short-term advantage does not represent who the final victory will belong. The advantage of numbers will continue to manifest itself over time.
Because of the numerical advantage of three times that of the Liangzhou army, Jiang Wei can constantly replace the new force on the field, but the Liangzhou army can't do this.
When the manpower is finally exhausted, once the Liangzhou army is exhausted, it will be the time for him Jiang Wei to become famous all over the world.
Batches of Wei troops under the command of Jiang Wei continued to press on the Liangzhou army, and because the strong end obeyed Jiang Wei's orders, the five thousand Qiang alien troops could only obediently act according to Jiang Wei's orders.
The numerical advantage was brought into full play by Jiang Wei, and whenever the Liangzhou army knocked down an enemy in front of him and another recuperated enemy, he immediately stepped forward to continue to fight with this Liangzhou army.
Under such constant fighting, as time went by, no matter how elite the Liangzhou army was, it began to gradually become inadequate.
Everything seems to be developing according to Jiang Wei's expectations. can become the last general of Ji Han in history, can continue to launch several Northern Expeditions with Ji Han's weak national strength, and can also achieve several victories, Jiang Wei's military strategy is definitely not low.
And although he is still young, he has already shown his skills as a famous player at this moment. Ma Chao, who was hidden in the Liangzhou army's formation, quietly looked at Jiang Wei, who was constantly directing the Wei army's attack on the opposite side, with a pair of tiger eyes.
Even if the situation was slowly developing in the direction that was unfavorable to the Liangzhou Army at this moment, there was no panic in Ma Chao's eyes.
He admitted that he had underestimated Jiang Wei a little before. But what surprised him the most was the resilience of his own army.
Tenacious tenacity is the greatest characteristic of a strong army. After realizing that his army had the tenacity to reassure him, the last trace of worry in Ma Chao's heart had disappeared.
The foundation of the establishment of a strong army in the world lies in excellent logistics support, but this alone is not enough to forge a strong army.
Firm concept is the flesh and blood formed by a strong army, strict discipline, and the skeleton formed by a strong army. Only when these three complement each other can it be possible to forge a strong army in the world.
But if you want to lead your own strong army and defeat a strong enemy, there is another prerequisite - a good commander.
Coincidentally, this point is not lacking in the Liangzhou army now. Ma Chao temporarily put the command in the hands of Ma Dai, and then he himself armed with a spear, driving the horse under his crotch and began to rush towards the enemy army in front.
Where the spears of the two armies exchanged fire, it seemed that a dense forest of guns had been formed. In this forest of guns, it is a forbidden area for life, and it is also a place where the two armies cannot give an inch.
At this point in the war, whoever retreats first means who loses first! But in the face of this forbidden area of life, Ma Chao seemed to turn a blind eye, and a high-pitched neighing of horses sounded from the array of the Liangzhou army.
Then thousands of Wei troops saw that there was a heroic white-haired military general who seemed to have descended from the sky and fell directly into this area of the gun forest.
When Ma Chao drove his horse to the ground, several Wei soldiers blocking in front of him had been swept into his own large array by his spear.
Ma Chao's bravery made almost all the Wei soldiers focus their eyes on him, and after the thousands of Qiang soldiers in the Wei army saw Ma Chao's appearance, fear immediately appeared on their faces.
A burst of exclamations rang out in the Wei army's formation: "Then, that's General Shenweitian!" ”
"How is that possible!"
"Didn't you say he's dead?" ... Unbelievably mixed with panicked exclamations, after resounding in the Wei army's military formation, the Wei army's formation began to riot.
And this riot is spreading at a rapid pace. Jiang Wei's excellence exceeded Ma Chao's expectations, but Jiang Wei was still too young after all.
At the beginning of this battle, Jiang Wei made a fatal mistake: he should not use the soldiers of Qiang to attack the army with Ma Chao.
The title of General Shenweitian, did he think it was just a boast?
