The shouts of killing were loud, and thousands of infantry formed a neat queue, armed with spears and spears. Under the leadership of Yu Jin, they were practicing tactics.
"Morale is available..." Wang Yu stood on the commander's platform, watching intently while comparing the military appearance of his soldiers and horses with the various troops he knew.
Yu Jin's ability in training troops was indeed extraordinary, and his professionalism was also extraordinary. Wang Yu originally did not intend to train all the troops in Hanoi County to perfection, because he was not sure whether he could take all the troops away.
However, in line with the spirit of working hard and carrying out tasks to the end, Yu Jin completed additional training tasks. He included all the troops except Baima Yicong into the scope of the drill.
The elite level of the county soldiers is relatively low, but Hanoi is adjacent to Shangdang County. There have always been many bandits and the Huns invaded from time to time. Generally speaking, it is a place with quite tough folk customs. Soldiers from such a place only need to keep up with the supplies and equipment.
If you are good at it and practice it well, you can still use it.
The Hanoi soldiers followed Wang Yu to Nanyang. In addition to their admiration and trust in the victorious commander, they also wanted to fight back to Luoyang and return home in glory.
The expectation of returning home is an excellent medicine to boost morale. Xu Rong's reputation can intimidate the princes and attract the attention of famous generals, but it cannot intimidate these ordinary soldiers who have been following Wang Yu in battle.
Their idea is very simple. Their commander is omnipotent and the enemies they face have always been strong. Therefore, there is nothing to fear. As long as they follow his command, they can win the final victory and go home!
"But, we can only win by surprise." After approving, Wang Yu sighed again.
Jia Xu asked curiously: "Could it be that the general had previously intended to fight Xu Gongqing head-on? I wonder what tactics the general planned to use? Can you tell me so that Xu Gongqing can open his eyes?"
"Well..."
In addition to Yu Jin's ability to train troops, Wang Yu also has two trump cards in his hand, one is the 2,000 Youzhou Army, and the other is the 500 heavy infantry under Xu Huang.
Needless to say, the Youzhou Army's strict infantry array, combined with the light cavalry with unparalleled cavalry and shooting, can derive many classic tactics. For example, the most well-known tactics in later generations are those of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
The elite level of the 500 White Wave Army is actually not as good as Wang Yu's old team, the Taishan Soldiers, nor better than the Danyang Soldiers. However, they are the Yellow Turban Army, and they are the ones with the strongest beliefs, otherwise Yang Feng and the others would not be able to send him away.
Take action. If operated properly, these five hundred soldiers and horses can exert unimaginable power.
If you have faith, the Yellow Turban Warriors can reappear!
Aren't heavy infantry armed with horse-cutting swords and berserkers a perfect match?
They don't need to practice formations. They don't need to have a tacit understanding of each other. As long as they can distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and have the physical strength to keep charging and waving the giant sword in their hands, they will be an unstoppable force.
This is the biggest trump card in Wang Yu's hand. If it were the armies he had seen before, he would be absolutely sure to defeat the opponent's 30,000-strong army head-on.
However, after watching Too Ban's drill, his confidence was shaken.
The foundation of this army is good, but the running-in time is not long. Although the running-in time of Xu Rong's troops is not long, they have gone through several battles and should be in the lead.
In addition, Yu Jin is good at training troops, but his opponent is the invincible Xu Rong, who is not an opponent Yu Jin can match.
In line with the principle of being lenient to the enemy, Wang Yu raised the military capacity of Xu Rong's troops by 50% based on the soldiers and horses trained in the ban. The result made him very frustrated, not to mention the increase of 50%. As long as Xu Rong
The cooperation of Rong's 30,000 soldiers and horses was about the same as that of the one performed by Qin Cao, so he couldn't please him.
The Yellow Turban warriors are not really invulnerable. The tight formation can neutralize their impact and then slowly wear them out. What's more, Wang Yu's White Wave Army is too few. If it weren't for the well-equipped equipment, it would be a bit unbelievable.
, he wouldn’t even entertain the thought.
In a head-on battle, cavalry is not invincible. Facing a strict infantry array, only heavy cavalry can launch an attack and achieve victory. Baima Yicong does not have that ability.
The timing for the Youzhou Army to launch an attack depends on whether there are any flaws in the enemy's formation. If it were the situation at Hulao Pass, the attack would naturally be very satisfying. However, Wang Yu was not sure that he could destroy Xu Rong's formation to that level.
Not to mention Xu Rong, even if the opponent at Hulao Pass was Yu Jin, Wang Yu probably wouldn't be able to achieve that glorious victory.
Those who have never seen it cannot imagine what kind of army the generals, who are known for their rigorous military use, can build.
The formation Yu Jin put up was nothing special. It was the most commonly used square formation. Dozens of large and small square formations were integrated together to form a huge flying geese formation.
He dispersed the five hundred county soldiers who had surrendered to Wang Yu earlier among all the county soldiers. As Shi Chang, because they had a higher tacit understanding, it was easier to command. They could issue general orders to military units at the level of Shi Zhang.
. Of course, it cannot be a too complicated command.
The specific manifestation is the rotation in front of the formation. These soldiers advance alternately, and the same is true for combat. Through such alternation, teams with excessive casualties or excessive energy consumption can be withdrawn to rest and become reserve teams. At the same time,
Prevent the collapse of these troops who are no longer capable of fighting and affect the entire army.
Although what he saw before him was just a drill, it was still unknown whether the army could complete such tactical actions when facing the enemy. But Wang Yu believed that Yu Jin should be confident if he dared to do this.
And Xu Rong's ability is stronger than Yu Jin's. Yu Jin can do it, but Xu Rong has no reason not to be able to do it. According to Yuan Shu, Sun Jian was defeated by the formation in that encounter, so Xu Rong is probably better than Yu Jin.
fine!
To be honest, before watching the troops, Wang Yu was still thinking about whether he could give Yu Jin some advice and make some improvements with his perspective beyond the times.
But now, he has given up this idea.
He couldn't even imagine how Yu Jin could do it. He could command the army to such an extent with just the rudimentary communication methods of this era, and use his arms and fingers at every turn!
Terrible ancients, terrible ancient generals!
Strictly speaking, Wang Yu has no experience in commanding an army, and he also knows his own weaknesses, so in previous battles, he has been trying to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses.
However, how could one person possibly shake the military formation in front of him, so that Xu Rongjun, who was more disciplined and more numerous, could be shaken?
"I can't figure it out tactically, so I have to think of a strategic solution. Can Mr. Wenhe teach me?"
Wang Yu turned his gaze to Jia Xu. His eyes were full of expectation. The old fox was a poisonous man. He liked to engage in conspiracies and tricks, and they were usually very effective. Isn't this the time to use it according to people?
"The best way is to use time!" Jia Xu did not shirk this time and agreed happily, but the answer was disappointing: "But this opportunity was ruined by you, general. No matter how suspicious Dong Zhuo was of Xu Rong,
We will not destroy the Great Wall before the outcome is clear."
Wang Yu retorted: "If I hadn't gone to Luoyang, there would have been one more Lu Bu to deal with now! Mr. Jia, you don't know how strong the Bingzhou Army is, right? Just the trapped camp is enough to give people a headache.
.”
"Xu is not picking on you, general. I am just telling the truth. Planning is the same as fighting in an array. If you want to defeat the enemy, the enemy must have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Has the general found a flaw in Yu Xiaowei? No, right? Xu Ye
I can’t find any flaws in Xu Rong.”
Jia Xu spread his hands and said aggrievedly: "Although General Highway is more motivated by selfishness, what he said is right. We are waiting for the opportunity to stand in a stalemate with Xu Rong. The longer the stalemate lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be to Xu Rong.
Once other changes occur in Luoyang, how can Xu Rong be able to recover? But General, you care about your reputation and are unwilling to capture Jingzhou, and you are unwilling to return to Mount Tai..."
"The terrain around Luoyang is flat. It is almost impossible to set up an ambush or use the power of water and fire. The other way is to cut off the food road! However, with Xu Gongqing's military experience, there should be no such flaws. Now that the heroes are retreating,
Even if you try to take advantage of the situation, you can't catch it, so you can pretend to be a mere mortal. How can you come up with any plan that goes against the will of heaven?"
Finally, Jia Xu sighed and said: "As the general said, if you want to win this battle, you can only win by surprise. Isn't that strange... Xu has a plan here, but I'm afraid the general will definitely not use it.
, I won’t use it to display my embarrassment.”
Wang Yu chuckled and said: "Mr. Wenhe, we are already on the same level as grasshoppers. If we can't beat Dong Zhuo until his liver and gallbladder are broken, our goal will not be achieved, but sir, won't your people also...you
It’s better to recruit them based on actual experience, so as not to ruin our friendship, right?”
"I knew you would say that..." Jia Xu mumbled a few words, then put on a mysterious expression: "This trick can come out of my mouth and into your ears, no matter you use it or
No, you are not allowed to tell any third party, otherwise...heh, General, you know."
"As it should be." Wang Yu's interest rose. It seems that the old fox is going to take action. It's really exciting. What kind of strategy will it be?
"Hu Lingjun mentioned Xu Gongqing's temperament. There were many contradictions in it, which made the information vague and difficult to understand. However, one thing is for sure. This person is extremely concerned about the safety of the people..." Jia Xu really meant it.
As soon as I opened my mouth, I analyzed Xu Rong’s character.
"Are you going to take advantage of the people?" Wang Yu felt a chill running down his spine. Once Luan Wu Jia Wenhe was forced into a more serious situation, he really didn't care about other people's lives!
"Exactly." Jia Xusurong nodded: "There are still a large number of people stranded in Sili territory. With the general's prestige and kindness, as long as the methods are used properly, the people's fighting spirit can be aroused... Well, go home.
The slogan is good, if you can return to Luoyang, who would be willing to leave your hometown and wander away?"
"Xu Gongqing's military discipline is strict and the military formation is in order, so the general is unable to do anything. If Xu's method is used, this will not be a concern. As long as tens of thousands of people are encouraged to rush in front of the formation, and the army will attack and kill him later, as long as Hu Lingjun's method is used
It is true, it is a great victory! With the Youzhou Army here, Xu Gongqing cannot escape even if he wants to! Even if things are not harmonious, he can still retreat calmly with the help of the people's cover..."
"Generals don't need to worry about reputation issues. As long as Xu works a little, the world will think that the people come here voluntarily. They will only praise the general's benevolence and righteousness, but will not criticize the general. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. The chance of winning is at least
Eighty percent, General, what’s this plan like?”
ps. The extremely miserable day is finally over. The power was cut off for a whole day. I struggled outside with Shimura’s netbook all afternoon. I went home and waited until after 8 o’clock. Finally, the call came. Halfway through the coding, it stopped again...
...I had no choice but to take out my notebook and continue to work hard. As a result, halfway through writing, I got another call...
I feel like crying, but I finally got it done. It's a little late. I hope you guys can forgive me. I hope tomorrow will be smoother.
