After all, combat effectiveness must be guaranteed by regular training and as much equipment as possible. The Anhua Army may not be the elite of the Song Dynasty, but it is very perfect in obeying orders. Moreover, they are all men from Longxi, and they have some real skills in their hands.
of.
The Xiqiang people are a nomadic tribe. Although they have slowly started farming on the land of the Song Dynasty, they are still loose in nature and cannot achieve the strength of "gathering sand into a tower".
On the battlefield, they had a brief confrontation with the Anhua Army, which was advancing and retreating at a moderate pace, and their lack of combat experience was immediately revealed. Ye An looked to the opposite side through the branches and leaves of the shrubs. Under the command of Cao Yi, the Anhua Army was covering up the hasty and hasty troops.
Xiqiang people fleeing for their lives.
Especially after the leader of the Xiqiang began to flee, the entire Xiqiang soldiers were like headless flies. It was impossible to break through without concentrating their strength.
Shiliangdu has become the last hope of the Xiqiang people, who are eager to escape from here. Compared with the Song army they encountered before, the current Anhua army has stronger combat power, a more sophisticated layout, and especially the more determined generals.
.
It is difficult to maintain the neatness of the military formation on the battlefield, but as long as it can be done, the improvement in combat effectiveness is quite astonishing. The Han army often puts the military formation first and pays attention to "a dignified division and an upright flag".
It certainly makes sense.
A stable military formation is extremely defensive and interactive in a cold-weapon war. The cooperation between soldiers, the transmission of military orders, and both offense and defense can be taken into consideration.
There was once a civilization in the West that also discovered this secret and claimed that its formation was not in chaos and it was invincible.
The Xiqiang people fled to Shiliang Ferry in embarrassment. Fortunately, the drinking water did not seem to be in a hurry. This gave them hope again. The leader and the higher-status people boarded the ferry. Of course, these ferries were deliberately designed by Ye An.
left.
If there is no ferry, the enemy may take a detour, and secondly, it will be inconvenient to shoot the enemy's "commander"! The area of the ship is only so small, where can there be more arrows?
Who can enjoy superior treatment when escaping? Naturally, it is the local high-level personnel. This class is bound to exist, especially among tribes like the Xiqiang people, where the hierarchy is even more strict.
The Anhua Army led by Cao Yi quickly came over to cover up the enemy. The ambush soldiers hiding in the woods on the shore could no longer hold back, but Ye An was not in a hurry. It was of course the best to attack halfway across the river, but there was one thing.
Let the advance troops on the opposite side land ashore to ensure the greatest possible destruction of the enemy.
"Anhua Army! Rush to kill the enemy invaders, and this is the time for a man to make a great contribution!"
"Here!"
Just when some of the Xiqiang people who were good swimmers arrived at the Maling River bank and thought they had escaped, a war roar erupted from the woods, causing the birds to startle again in the already quiet woods where the ambush had been hidden.
Tieniu was horrified to find that Ye An actually passed him and moved forward bravely. Ye An, who was dressed in black Shunshui mountain armor, was very obvious in the army. The red tassel on his head swayed in the sunlight and was unbelievably bright.
Seeing the commander personally charging forward, the soldiers of the Anhua Army were even more eager to kill the enemy, and their fighting spirit was high!
Why should we take the lead? This is the same as fighting in a group. When the leader rushes to the front and launches an attack on the enemy without fear of death, the people around him will be infected unconsciously and move forward bravely. What's more, in the army,
On the war zone?
This is the power of the spiritual leader and the embodiment of the will of the army. As the saying goes, "The courage of a general is the courage of a soldier, and the power of a soldier is the power of a general!"
While the general influenced the soldiers, the soldiers also influenced the general. The soldiers who followed Ye An gradually changed from panic to excitement. From the initial intention to stop Ye An, they became guards around him. Only the dead soul of Tien Niu looked at him.
Then Ye An rushed past the guards of his own soldiers and "collided" with the oncoming Xiqiang soldiers with his sword.
ah!
The sharp green sword passed through the dispensable layer of leather armor and easily pierced the body of the Xiqiang man. The Xiqiang man, who was so dead, grabbed Ye An's arm with his hands and held him back.
Unable to draw the sword.
That's right, fighting on the battlefield has always been a matter of life and death. There is no such thing as slashing left and slashing like described in the film and television scripts, killing the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables. That's all a fucking lie!
Ye An could only release the hilt of the sword and kick the unlucky Xiqiang man away. The soldier on the side reacted and kicked a long knife and it fell at Ye An's feet. What else is there to say at this time?
Ye An picked up the long knife and continued to fight with the Xiqiang people.
The role of the personal soldiers is naturally to prevent more enemies from rushing towards Ye An. There is no other way. His black mountain armor is too conspicuous, and everyone knows that he is the commander-in-chief.
Fortunately, the number of people on the other side was not large, but only a few dozen people were instantly devoured by the Anhua army of several hundred people.
Ye An's helmet had been knocked off. It was extremely dangerous just now. A Xiqiang man rushed towards Ye An with a flail, but was chopped down by the iron bull. However, before falling to the ground, he threw the flail in his hand and hit him.
Fortunately, the distance to Ye An's head was a bit far away, so the damage was not high.
But even so, Ye An's head shook violently, a slight sweet smell came out of his mouth, his helmet was knocked off, and his temples were scratched.
"Crossbowman! Release the arrow!"
After wiping out the advance landing troops of the Xiqiang people, Ye An immediately ordered that some people in the river were about to land ashore again, but when they stepped onto the beach, the arrows of the Anhua Army...
Wails suddenly sounded, and the soldiers kept repeating simple actions one after another, releasing arrows, stringing them, nocking arrows, and releasing arrows again. However, such simple actions continued to harvest the Xiqiang people in the Maling River.
The war was cruel. The Xiqiang people in the river either dived into the water to escape, or swam forward faster, or shouted loudly, or begged, but these did not affect the Song army on the river bank.
.
Locusts rained like rain, and arrows roared fiercely. Ye An shouted: "Avoid the leader on the boat, I will live!"
The soldiers of the Anhua Army shouted while shooting arrows: "Here! Why don't the bandits surrender yet?!"
The Xiqiang people on the boat originally planned to go down the river, but looking at the Anhua Army on the shore and the strong bows and crossbows in their hands, they finally gave up this plan and threw their swords into the water, returning the
He took off his armor.
This was considered as abandoning one's armor. Iron Newton shouted: "The enemy chief surrenders! Why don't you soldiers abandon your weapons at the Maling River?!"
The Xiqiang soldiers who had understood were not slow at all. They dropped their weapons in the water without hesitation and tried to swim to the other side. The feeling of being like a living target in the river made people desperate. The psychological blow was unbearable.
It's better than walking through the gates of hell.
Wouldn't surrender be a relief for them?
As the leader in the river surrendered, the Xiqiang soldiers who were being chased by Cao Yi on the bank finally gave up their resistance, dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
"Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories!" The Anhua army cheered with a roar of mountains and tsunamis. The Song army won a great victory in this battle. All the soldiers knew from the battlefield that their side suffered very little losses. Almost all the people on the ground were Xiqiang people.
corpses, and military merit is naturally indispensable!
