29 After the battle
During the Battle of Hulukou, Xiong Wuliang was very satisfied with the Quyang Army under his command.
Although this young soldier has just entered the battlefield, it already looks like an elite soldier.
What satisfied Xiong Wuliang most was that this army already had the confidence to fight.
Before the battle, Qu Yangjun's hands were trembling and his face was pale. However, once the battle began, this elite army of 200 people went all out and faced five times the enemy without any wavering or collapse.
Zhong Hua talked with the soldiers for a few words, and the Quyang soldiers said this - in order to protect the property of the collective farm, to protect the food and land... there is no need to be afraid of fighting.
Xiong Wuliang was very pleased with this - in this era, there are almost no troops who know why they are fighting. After all, the achievements of princes, generals and ministers often have nothing to do with these soldiers. For the vast majority of ordinary soldiers, the only way to fight is to
The reason is that he has to sacrifice his life for the princes as a matter of course - or at most he hopes to get some rewards after winning.
It is precisely because there is no belief in fighting that this kind of army is often brave enough to win rewards when the wind is going smoothly, but when the wind is going against it, it is completely defeated - it is rare to resist desperately and fight to the last man.
Right now, my small armed force seems to have a soul.
Xiong Wuliang returned to his Quyangjun Mansion, satisfied.
After this battle, the potential threat of the Shaohu Pirates was finally completely eradicated!
According to the prisoners' confessions, Xiong Wuliang had ordered the remnants of Quyang's army to pursue the bandits and go to a certain place in Shaohu, preparing to completely raid the lair of the Shaohu bandits.
After the Shaohu bandits were eliminated, Xiong Wuliang was finally able to calm down and prepare for the invasion.
Xiaoyi ran up to Xiong Wuliang with a "dong dong dong" sound, looked at it carefully, and suddenly hugged Xiong Wuliang's arm, and the pear blossoms began to cry.
Mr. Mi Liang: What's going on?
Xiaoyi raised her tearful eyes and scolded: "People in the Central Plains say that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. As Lord Quyang, why don't you go to that dangerous place to sit in Quyang City properly?"
Xiong Wuliang laughed twice.
Feeling the fullness in his arms and the concern for him in Xiaoyi's words... Xiong Wuliang felt a little secretly happy.
"As the top talker in this county, I, Lord Quyang, naturally have to work with the soldiers to boost their morale," Master Mi Liang said righteously.
"Then why doesn't Mr. Mi Heng go?" Xiao Yi said coquettishly.
"Uh..." Xiong Wuliang was speechless.
Fortunately, Mr. Mi Liang has never been a reasonable person. Xiong Wuliang smiled evilly and pulled Xiao Yi over: "I'm tired, please come and squeeze my feet!"
"Huh?" Xiaoyi exclaimed, staggering and falling over...
…
General Jin was amazed in front of the prince!
"How?" Huang Xie interrupted General Jin's explanation, his eyes widened: "You said that more than a thousand Shaohu bandits were all wiped out, and not a single one escaped the net?"
"Exactly!" General Jin glanced at Huang Xie with a half-smile.
You little brat.
At first I looked down upon others in various ways.
They say that Qu Yang's army is useless, this battle will definitely be defeated, and the prince will be kidnapped.
What now?
A big win!
"How is that possible?" Huang Xie didn't understand, but was shocked!
"With more than 300 people, can we annihilate more than 1,000 people?"
Huang Xie could still believe that three hundred men could defeat a thousand men - although the gap in numbers was large, it was not impossible to make up. There were many similar battles in history.
For example, just over ten years ago, when the Qin State had not yet carried out the reform, the Wei State used only 50,000 Wei soldiers to defeat the 500,000 Qin army of Qin Xiangong.
However, it is easy to defeat many with less, and annihilating them all is simply a fantasy!
Once the battle is defeated, just run away - the defeated troops are scattered all over the mountains and plains, how do you catch them?
General Jin glanced at the shocked Huang Xie and said in a tone of sincere admiration: "Master Mi Liang is really a great talent. He first showed the enemy weakness and lured them deeper, and then took advantage of the terrain to block all the Shaohu thieves in the valley.
!”
"Under the cover of killing from both sides, in just a moment, the Shaohu bandits knelt down and surrendered!" General Jin's tone was a little regretful, obviously he didn't kill very quickly.
Although it is just a small strategy, it is not difficult for anyone who has watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
But for honest people who basically only knew how to fight openly during the Warring States Period, this was already a rather bizarre strategy!
Now General Jin seems to have thought about it - what is martial ethics or not?
Three hundred people fought against a thousand people, with almost zero casualties, and the enemy army was completely wiped out!
If every time I don't practice martial ethics, I can have such a result... I won't practice martial ethics. What's the matter? Grandpa admits it!
Prince Mi Heng was also shocked by such results.
However, he was more happy.
The Shaohu bandits, who once caused a great headache for the Chu court and sent out large armies to suppress them several times, now fell into their own hands.
Although she didn't contribute much... Mi Heng still felt honored!
"Tell me in detail." Mi Heng was very interested in the battle.
General Jin elaborated in a deep voice: "According to the planned plan, our imperial army pretended to be defeated and lured the Shaohu pirates into an ambush. The Quyang army blocked the mountain pass and attacked from both inside and outside!"
"The combat power of the Quyang Army is truly terrifying!" General Jin clicked his tongue.
Later, General Jin talked about how fierce the repeating crossbows equipped by the Quyang Army were, and how the Shaohu pirates fell to the ground under a single salvo, and then surrendered because their morale collapsed...
"There are such sharp weapons in the world!" Mi Heng couldn't sit still.
If Chu's army could also be equipped with such magical weapons...why should we be afraid of Qin?
Fire suppression is it!
No matter how brave the Qin army is, they are still made of flesh and will have to lie down even if they are shot by an arrow.
When the time comes, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers will be armed with repeating crossbows, and hundreds of thousands of arrows will instantly cover the sky. What will Qin use to hold it back?
You can't stand it at all, okay?
General Jin seemed to notice Mi Heng's excitement, shook his head, and poured cold water on him: "Sir, these tactics are only suitable for small armies."
"If such weapons are really implemented in our Chu army, although they are terrifyingly powerful, how many arrows will be consumed in a single battle?"
"Even if the entire country is cutting arrows and can barely guarantee a sufficient quantity, how can we deliver this massive amount of arrows to the frontline soldiers?"
Prince Mi Heng was calmed down by the cold water poured on him.
really.
The frontline was having a great time, but the backline was scolding them.
Without considerable production and transportation capabilities, there is no way to apply such tactics on a large scale.
However... even if repeating crossbows cannot be distributed to the entire army, it is still a good choice to obtain some proper repeating crossbows and arm the Forbidden Army around you with a small amount.
Even Huang Xie, who despised everything in Quyang County, was not opposed to bringing back some repeating crossbows.
This kind of magical weapon, equipped to the imperial guards of Chu State, is like adding wings to a tiger.
