sweeping the world

Chapter 487 Power is the truth
Whether it was premeditated or a hasty counterattack, both sides had just fired arrows hastily. Few people were hit and not many died.

Of course Xu Zheng was not dead, but he actually had two arrows stuck in his body. If it weren't for the fact that the general-level armor on his body didn't have enough defense, he would have really been blamed here.

Shocking roars erupted on the battlefield. The Jin army immediately went berserk when they heard the cry of "the general of the Han army is dead", regardless of whether the general of the Han army was really dead.

The Han army was still quiet. The soldiers heard the enemy's shouts and did not riot. It didn't mean that the soldiers were not affected by the rumors. It didn't matter whether the main general was dead or not. Anyway, if the main general died, the deputy general on the battlefield would take over the command. Even if the deputy general is dead, there will still be the commander of the army, Shi, and even if the commander of the army is dead, won't there be generals who can replace him at the next level?

After all, when Liu Yan was building the Han army, he had been trying to eliminate the possibility of the army becoming someone's private army. It was impossible for a military general to command the same army for too long. Basically, whoever got what task went to a certain place to receive it. In this army, the only ones who have not been transferred for a long time are the middle and low-level officers. The middle and low-level officers form the command chain of an army, and they follow the military orders to act.

Liu Yan's idea of ​​building an army caused a phenomenon, that is, the Han army would appear very dogmatic and rigid, but this would not be harmful to the Han army. After all, only a few of those generals were from families with a cultural background, and they did not have enough cultural background. If a general wants to play tricks, he should not make them look too ugly or self-defeating.

The silent Han army gives people a feeling of being immobile, unmoved by foreign objects, and not disturbed by news that does not know the true or false.

The Jin army really attacked with its entire army, which resulted in the Jin army being active everywhere within a radius of [-] to [-] miles.They were shouting and running, with their pace varying between fast and slow, but they quickly lost touch. The Jin soldiers who ran the fastest could see the facial features of the Han army on the opposite side.

More than one soldier of the Jin army would think about a question after seeing the expressions of the soldiers of the Han army, that is, why the soldiers of the Han army looked so indifferent and didn't panic at all even though the main general of the Han army had been killed? Some look?
Silence is sometimes more powerful than shouting. At least at the moment, the silence of the Han army brought unparalleled pressure to the charging Jin army. Those fast-running Jin soldiers would subconsciously slow down their running pace, and their hearts were filled with emotions every time. With each step, there is a hint of anxiety.

Amidst the chaotic shouts of the Jin army, the Han army made its first sound, which was driven by the sound of drums first, and then about [-] soldiers shouted "Han army!" at the same time. Shouted "Mighty!" in unison.

The orderly shouts of the Han army instantly suppressed the chaotic voices of the Jin army. To the soldiers of the Jin army, it was as if an invisible pressure suddenly fell from the sky, forcing them to stop involuntarily.

Xie Shi, who had returned to the main formation, had already adjusted his horse. He found that the soldiers in front of him were forced to stop charging by the momentum of the Han army, and hurriedly shouted: "Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat the drum!"

I don't know how many cowhide drums were beaten, and there was a loud "dong dong dong" sound of the drums, and those soldiers of the Jin army who were stunned came back to their senses and opened their legs again.

Xie Shi, who tried his best to gain at least an inner advantage for his own side, actually felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart after seeing the performance of the Han army.

"The Han army...is really strong." Sun Chuo couldn't hide his frustration at all: "Is it because they have no thoughts, or are all our plots predicted in advance, and the whole army has been informed of what may happen?"

No matter how elite the army is in history, as long as the leader dies, there will be chaos, not to mention that the Jin army fought a set of "combined punches", but the Han army is really like an army composed of heartless soldiers. It can be said that all the plots did not affect the Han army at all, but the morale of their own soldiers was encouraged.

"Impossible..." Xie Shi was unwilling to believe that the Han army was really unmoved. He said with a firm expression: "Even if there is preparation in advance, the morale of the Han army will inevitably be affected. It's just our current situation." The thrust is not strong enough, just give it more power."

For the generals of the small courts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, whatever methods they use in war are part of their strategy. Cunning is equal to cleverness, shameless is equal to having a strategy in mind, and the more cunning and shameless they are, they are actually qualified commanders.

In fact, in the history of wars in Chinese civilization, indiscriminate means and all kinds of darkness are the mainstream, that is, cunning, dark, cunning, etc. are regarded as wisdom as long as the means can achieve the goal. If you succeed, you will scold, and if you succeed, you will praise.On the contrary, keeping promises and keeping promises upholding the style of a gentleman is stupid, and it is extremely stupid.

No joke, whether it is real or illusory, Zhuge Liang, the number one monster in the millennium, is the embodiment of Chinese wisdom, Zhang Heng who invented the seismograph, Cai Lun who integrated and successfully made papermaking, and other inventors do not represent wisdom.In the west...those who will invent and improve technology...forget it, don't talk about it.

Xie Shi had already decided to carry forward his wisdom to the end, and soon the Jin army was notified that the friendly army had won big victories in Shouchun and Dangtu.

Even louder cheers were shouted from the soldiers of the Jin army. The soldiers of the Jin army who were repeatedly stimulated to the point of going crazy put in all kinds of enthusiasm. In an instant, their waists did not hurt, their legs did not hurt, and they ran faster. Everyone wanted Make some contributions in a war that is destined to win.

The Han army just roared in unison and there was no sound. The soldiers of various arms of the Han army at the forefront responded to the officers' passwords.

For the first time, the front line of the Han army's army was not tower shield soldiers, but row after row of spearmen, and the five rows of spearmen had already laid their spears out.In the second formation are strong archers, strong crossbowmen, and continuous crossbowmen, making ready to launch postures amidst the sound of passwords one after another.In the further back position are the various arms that are standing still.

When the charging soldiers of the Jin army entered the coverage area of ​​the Han army's long-range weapons, there were rapid and dense sounds of clappers. In an instant, there was an unknown number of booming bowstrings, and then flowers rose one after another on the flat ground. There were dark clouds, and there was a sharp piercing sound in the air. When the arrow reached a certain height, it was because of the shaking of the arrow shaft that it became a continuous "buzzing" sound.

Xu Zheng who returned to the mountain did not pull out the arrow from his body, he said to Tiaoyou: "This lesson must be kept in mind."

As Tiao You, who joined the Han Army halfway through, he has been complaining about the rigidity of the veteran Han Army generals for a day or two, or because of his background, he is not good enough to say too much.He and many people who joined the Han army halfway from the Ran Min Army have a common idea. They really want to tell those rigid generals that the war in this land is about tactics. Every time they want to prove this truth, they are hit by reality. , the reason is that the Han army won again and again by means of flat pushing, so how could they have the opportunity to say that.

"I'm also a descendant of the Han family, so I thought I would pay attention to it... Well, I would have been careless." Xu Zheng looked a little uncomfortable with Tiao You's weird eyes, and said stiffly: "How do you know that Xie Shi is shameless?" It looks worse than a barbarian."

"..." Tiao You directly looked away.

On the battlefield, the fastest Jin army was already receiving arrows. Facing the dense arrow formation of the Han army, they could only raise their shields, and those without shields just closed their eyes and waited for death.

The arrow array arranged by the Han army is quite large, and it can cover everywhere within 350 steps in front of the army array.And this is because the Han army has not yet moved out larger weapons, such as bed crossbows, cart crossbows, and catapults.

When the Jin army crossed the Huai River, they carried some eight-horn crossbows, but because the eight-horn crossbows were too bulky to be transported, they were still slowly moving behind after the infantry charged.

Facing the dense and rapid wave of arrows of the Han army, the charge of the Jin army was directly interrupted. The soldiers who ran fast and did not have time to escape either became corpses or were injured Stay where you are whining or moaning.

Taking the distance covered by the arrow array of the Han army as the boundary, the soldiers of the Jin army stopped and stopped moving forward. Some generals of the Jin army played a role. For example, Liu Jian tried his best to gather the soldiers with shields, planning to organize a shield formation and then go forward. .

Xie Shi quickly conveyed an order to the front, using Liu Jian's troops as the selection front, ordering Liu Jian to charge to the Han army and start a hand-to-hand fight no matter how high the price was.

The entire battlefield is not on the plain of Yimapingchuan, but is actually divided into flat land and mountainous land. After the two armies fought, multiple parts were formed.In fact, even in a flat area, if the number of soldiers on both sides exceeds tens of thousands, the battlefield will be divided into multiple parts, and not everyone will be crowded in one place.

Liu Jian's troops are all supplemented by Xie Shi later, and there is no running-in in the chain of command, and there are differences in ordnance from the original troops, but he has a heart that dares to fight, and he also holds the goal of serving the headquarters. The will to revenge, to try to strike when most of the other allies are holding back.

After receiving orders from Xie Shi, and even supplemented by [-] cavalry, Liu Jian knew that it was time to repay his debts, so he put on an extra layer of armor for himself, expressly stating that he would charge ahead, and that no one would allow him before he died. Retreat, whoever retreats will kill his whole family.

The troops led by Xie Shang soon came behind Liu Jian's troops. He brought [-] elite Jin troops, including cavalry, which the Jin army lacked, accounting for [-] of the [-] five hundred.

"General, please wait for a while, someone will definitely open a passage for the general." Liu Jian didn't look worried at all, and finished speaking to Xie Shang in a calm voice. Go out and leave a roar: "Charge, charge, charge!"

Five thousand soldiers of the Jin army, who looked like death squads, were urgently replenished with shields. General Yingyang Liu Jian took the lead in the charge, followed by more than 200 members of the Liu family, and a large number of Jin soldiers rushed forward as soon as they gritted their teeth.

Liu Jian has been counting the seconds silently, biting the rein with his teeth, holding a round shield in his left hand, and a horse spear in his right hand. He is extremely vigilant and waits for the dense arrows to fall from the sky.He waited and waited, but the arrow did not fall for a long time, and what he heard in his ears were the shouts of the Han army on the opposite side.

"Han army, attack!"

Located on the opposite side of Liu Jian's charge is Dou'a's headquarters.

Dou'a's order was to charge directly at each other, and only when necessary, the long-range attacking troops such as the arrow array in the rear would provide support, or else it should let the Jin army see that the Han army is not only good at archery.

Amidst the "Han Army mighty" bugle shouted in unison, the spearmen in the first row were the first to step out. Charge forward with neat steps.The spearmen in the second row ran out of Paoze for about five steps in the first row, and then roared out in unison and continued to follow, followed by the third row, fourth row, fifth row, and the whole The military formation is like waves, rolling forward wave after wave.

Liu Jian, who was charging on a horse, was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help showing an expression of ecstasy.

Just like the Hu people who were helpless against the Han army's arrow array, the Jin army was actually frightened by the Han army's free arrow coverage. What was better than the Hu people was that the Jin army at least had enough shields, but It's also really a headache to be restrained.

"The Han army is so confident?" Xie Shang frowned deeply when he saw the scene on the battlefield. Not only did the Han army not cover it with arrows, they even didn't see the appearance of the Han army cavalry.He said to his confidants with a heavy heart: "The Han army really held the grand momentum and completely defeated us with an absolutely strong attitude."

If there was no Shijie, Zhao State was beaten to only two states by the Han State, and the Han State, which is the enemy of the whole world, did not show a weak state in the hostility and conquests of various countries, Xie Shang would think that the Han army's majestic momentum is a joke, The problem is that the Han army seems to have enough confidence and confidence to fight the Jin army with such a posture.

In the entire battlefield, the Jin army really found that the Han army had abandoned the absolute advantage of long-distance. Only a few of them seemed to be aware of the Han army's intentions, and most of them were adhering to the mentality of being a bastard , and perhaps laughed at the stupidity of the Han army from the bottom of his heart.

"Beat the drum, keep beating the drum!" Xie Shi lowered his head after roaring, he couldn't let his wry smile be noticed.After he raised his head again, his face was full of confidence, and he said to the left and right with ease: "The Han generals are out of their minds, and their defeat is already doomed."

Xu Zheng, who was on the top of the hill looking at the overall situation of the battlefield, touched the tail feathers with arrows stuck on his body, and said as if telling the truth: "Destroy his confidence, and the war of conquest is nothing more than this." What he didn't say was that the civil war It's really impossible to kill all of them, it can only show the strongest side and directly destroy the opponent.

At this moment, if Tiao You could do it, his face should be covered with black lines...
