Although the Chu people often called themselves barbarians, they did not feel that they were barbarians.
Because the Central Plains countries lost contact with the Yan State, the Zhuxia people did not know that there was a force like Donghu.
Furthermore, the "Hu" group has not yet been created. The "Hu" group will not exist until the Huns appear and rise, and Touman seeks to unify the nomadic groups outside the Great Wall and call them all Hu people.
However, the princes of the Central Plains and the South looked down upon the idea that Di, Rong, Barbarians and Yi were the same. The reason was of course that these foreign races did not show any strength worthy of respect.
So, no matter what era you are in, the harder your fist is, the more power you have to speak. It is an unchanging truth.
Dou Yuan led his troops to attack.
Bai Gongsheng was waiting to see what kind of reaction Zhiyao would make.
Zhiyao, who was standing on the chariot, immediately noticed the movement of the Chu army. She turned her attention to Han's headquarters and said to Yu Rang, "Send a warning to Geng."
Yurang immediately grabbed a blue flag next to him and waved it constantly.
Han Geng, who was in the middle of the military formation, saw the blue flag that was constantly shaking. He looked away, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "The arrow formation is on standby!"
In the battle formation organized by the Han family, the chariot soldiers were not at the forefront. A small number of shield soldiers were always ready to organize a shield wall, followed by a large number of armed soldiers, and behind them were archers.
An officer repeated Han Geng's order, and the archers immediately concentrated their attention, waiting for the order to draw the string and draw the bow.
The officer in charge of the school shooting first shot two arrows. The first arrow was the farthest distance that could be reached, and the second arrow was the distance that could guarantee the hit rate.
School shooting? The officer naturally needs to take measurements first and then issue different orders.
Has Han mastered the effect of wind speed on arrows? Probably, but he has not yet sorted out the relevant scientific system.
Most of the animals used to pull the chariots of the Chu army were oxen. This was not because the Chu army was short of horses, but mainly because the Chu army's chariots were larger and therefore heavier. When charging into battle, they mainly chose oxen to pull the chariots; when it was their turn to engage in pursuit battles
, the Chu army will dispatch horse-drawn chariots with relatively light bodies.
What I have to say is, do you think there are really only two types of tanks in Chu? No.
Now, not only the Chu Kingdom, but also each prince has his own account, because there is no such thing as a "standard". Except for the Zhi family, each of their chariots has its own personality and may look the same style.
, there must be differences in size.
A burst of bangs sounded in Han's formation, followed by bursts of sounds of bow strings being pulled.
After the sound of bangs stopped, there was another burst of sound of bow strings, and then flying arrows rose into the sky like locusts and shot at the oncoming Chu army.
Immediately after, there was another burst of banging sound, which continued to sound and then stopped, each time causing Han's arrow formation to fire a volley.
Looking at the frequency, it is about one breath interval. When the arrow array fires once, the picture that appears is that the arrows shot in front have not yet hit the ground, followed by the second wave, the third wave..., almost the ninth volley, the third wave.
A wave of arrows are shot out before they fall.
Dou Yuan raised his shield to block the arrows, while his right hand guard helped the driver block the arrows.
The unarmored cart-pulling oxen let out a painful cry when hit by an arrow. Large animals are much stronger than humans. As long as they are not shot in the vital parts, they will not fall down immediately. They did not lose control under the control of the reins and walked forward.
The frequency of hoofing has increased due to pain.
Douyuan looked around and saw many soldiers from his headquarters fell down after being hit by arrows, and screams and groans could be heard in his ears.
The Dou family is an old family in the Chu Kingdom. It was once extremely prosperous. Later, it was involved in civil strife and almost wiped out the family. It survived under the protection of a certain Chu king, but it has not been able to regain its prosperity for a long time.
Every Dou family member is taught by their elders that they must work hard to restore the family's glory. However, decades have passed and the Dou family has been in decline.
Dou Yuan was taught from a young age that he must restore the glory of his family. Like many Dou clan members, he was unwilling to give up every opportunity. While blocking the arrows that were constantly being fired, he loudly encouraged the soldiers under his command.
Chu and Jin had been fighting each other for so many years, and they knew each other well.
Dou Yuan's understanding was that as long as he could withstand Han's arrow formation and rush forward to engage in close combat, he would be able to slaughter Han's soldiers.
When shooting arrows from Hanshi, the distance between the two sides is about a hundred meters?
A normal run of 100 meters only takes seven or eight breaths. The problem is that moving forward under the rain of arrows not only slows down time, but also the robes around you keep falling, which puts great psychological pressure on the living people.
In the end, Douyuan felt the car body shake violently, and he knew without looking that the cow pulling the cart had been hit critically and fell. Fortunately, the car body did not overturn.
When Douyuan got out of the car, he accidentally hit the inner part of his calf with an arrow stuck in the ground. Of course, the slight pain was nothing to worry about. The screams and muffled groans that kept coming from his ears made his heart twitch.
"Didn't they collapse at the first touch?" What Dou Yuan saw was an array-line battle between his own soldiers who rushed forward and Han's melee soldiers who came forward.
What is the "array line" model? In the era of giant ships and cannons, sea battles consisted of two fleets of the enemy and ours forming a battle line, and the enemy and ourselves clearly bombarded each other.
On the Zhuxia side, the era of the Gentleman's War was the kind where the enemy and our armies were approaching each other in formations. This phalanx fought against that phalanx. Both sides maintained a strict formation. The soldiers used long weapons to attack each other constantly. If one fell, he would make up for it.
One side goes up until one side cannot hold it anymore and retreats, and the other side continues to press forward until one side cannot hold it anymore and withdraws from the combat sequence.
Nowadays, times have changed, but unless there is an encounter or an ambush, the enemy and our armies will still often engage in an array battle mode. Gu Ke
The battle mode of the array line actually tests the will of the soldiers. This is a strict order, but it is a situation that highlights the face-to-face situation. Looking at the opponent's face with a ferocious face, seeing your own leader falling with blood, you have to take care of the formation.
The situation is chaotic, and the other side has to constantly attack and protect themselves with weapons. The psychological pressure is really too great.
The Han family actually withstood the Chu army? This was something that the Chu people had not expected in advance.
After Zhiyao confirmed that Han's headquarters did not collapse immediately after the contact battle broke out between the Chu army and Han's training of the new army, he knew that Han's training of the new army had at least achieved results. He could not see more for the time being, so he took the time to look at Hu's headquarters.
The Fox clan's side, where the fighting first broke out, looked completely different.
Their side looked like a mess, with soldiers from both the enemy and ours mingling together, and even chariots running amok.
There is no formation, too many soldiers are fighting, and when the chariot rushes, there is no guarantee that it will hit the enemy. It can only be said that whoever is unlucky will be injured, maimed, or killed.
"The Hu family is no match for the Chu army..." Zhiyao observed for a while and came to this conclusion.
This is also an effect brought about by Hu You's withdrawal from the battle with those single-riding horses, which once again proves that the Fox family does not master the correct method of fighting on horseback.
Of course, it also has something to do with the Chu army that the Hu family faced. They faced Ye Gong's troops.
Each country has internal distinctions about which family can be defeated or which family can be defeated. In the Jin State, the Hu family is undoubtedly at the lower end of the Qing family's combat effectiveness, while Ye Gong's family is in the middle and upper reaches of the Chu State's combat effectiveness?
Zhiyao issued the order for Wei's troops to advance.
I have been waiting for Wei Ju to execute it immediately.
It's not that there are no chariots on the Wei side, but only a small number of key figures ride on the chariots. What can be seen is the infantry marching forward in formation amidst the roaring of war drums.
Bai Gongsheng, who immediately noticed the advance of the Jin army from the left, also responded and ordered his troops on the right to attack.
If you understand the composition of the various Chu clans on the battlefield, you will find that the Chu army facing Wei's troops is actually quite average in combat effectiveness.
"I will first lure the Wei family to come up, so that they will be disconnected from the main formation, making it difficult for them to support the Jin army's right army, and then strengthen the offensive against the Jin army's right army..." Bai Gongsheng said that he had read Sun Wu's "Art of War Thirteen"
Chapter" and came up with some of my own military thoughts.
"Where are the troops that went around the Jin army's rear?" What Bai Gongsheng wants to know most now is this.
opposite.
Zhiyao has just received news that a Chu army tried to go around to its own retreat, and was ambushed by Zhishi's troops whom he arranged to ambush. The battle situation was relatively smooth against Zhishi's troops, and they would be defeated in less than two hours.
.
"As expected of Bai Gongsheng who went to Wu to further his studies. Even though he is upright and honest, he still contracted the bad habits of the Wu people." Zhiyao was on the advantage side and was determined not to get angry.
This time they are meeting for a hunt, and to save face they should have an open and honest fight.
But what? Times have really changed. If you talk about kindness on the battlefield and pursue credibility, don't become a big fool.
Didn't the Jin army see Zhao Bolu and Zhong Wu here? That's right.
As expected, Zhao Bolu and Zhong Wu should have led their troops into the Chu army's camp. How successful they can achieve depends not only on themselves, but also on whether Bai Gongsheng will immediately return reinforcements.
In fact, Zhiyao really wanted to fight an upright battle, but Wanban knew clearly that times had really changed?
On the Chu army's side, Bai Gongsheng saw with his own eyes that the Han family was able to withstand it, but after fighting for about half an hour, it became shaky. He also saw that the Wei family's troops were somewhat out of touch with the Jin army's main formation and the right army, and thought to himself: "Zhi Yao
Is your prestige just a boast? Why not..."
A long sound of "Report!!!" came from far and near.
The visitor reported that the camp was attacked by Jin troops.
Bai Gongsheng was shocked at first, and then became furious.
Do you think that the Chu army will not prevent the Jin army from doing this? They have arranged for troops to sneak attack the Jin army's retreat, and they must also prevent the Jin army from doing this.
Looking at it now, either the Jin army bypassed the garrisoned Chu army, or the garrisoned Chu army was defeated. Bai Gongsheng wanted to know what happened, and he could only find out after the fact.
Before, Bai Gongsheng was still thinking about whether Zhiyao's reputation was in vain, and how could he expect to get the answer right away.
On the battlefield, Hu's troops have withdrawn from the battle.
The Chu army that was originally fighting against the Hu clan, and the second batch of Chu troops that were advancing behind them, have become completely entangled with the Wei clan's troops.
The current battle situation is no longer that we can withdraw if we want to, but we can rely on our strength advantage to send some troops back to support the camp.
Bai Gongsheng looked at the position where Zhiyao seemed to be standing, and thought: "There are no false scholars under the great reputation? But..., isn't the person who leads the trend of the times in the state of Wu?"
