Han counter current

But Zhang He did it. Of course, at the beginning, this plan was very dangerous. After all, Zhang He only had 3000 people around him, and if he was not careful, the entire army might be wiped out.

It's a pity that Ta Dun was too careless and put all his attention and energy on the main force in front.

After the Youzhou Army's 5000 people repeatedly resisted the attack of Wuhuan's main force, Ta Dun became more anxious, and finally Zhang He found an opportunity.

It can be said that Zhang He has been staring at Tadun all the time, like a wolf staring at its prey. During those days of lurking, what Zhang He waited for was a chance to attack.

However, Tadun led the ten thousand soldiers and horses to advance without encountering any obstacles. When there was only a little distance away from the main force in front, not only Tadun, but also his cronies and subordinates relaxed.

Therefore, the defense of the camp that night was very lax, and the barriers at the camp gate were hastily set up, which allowed the [-] elites under Zhang He's command to kill them in one fell swoop.

"Although I don't know why the Wuhuan cavalry went south, but taking this opportunity to conquer Wuhuan and also test the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Xiayouyan battalion is not bad."

It's hard for Chen Feng not to be happy about getting such good news in this midwinter season.His enemies were plotting against him all the time, and this time, they made him survive again.

"Wen He, Wu Huan is sorted out, there is Zhong'er on San Han's side, and I have given him a high degree of autonomy, I think there will be no problems with his ability.

However, if Cao Cao provoked this war, I always feel that it is not so simple. Cao Cao must have a countermeasure when he makes a move. "

Jia Xu nodded after hearing this. Chen Feng's analysis was correct. Cao Cao's layout is one after another, and it is not so simple, but even Jia Xu can't figure out Cao Cao's real purpose for the time being.

After all, after Cao Cao's death, there were top strategists like Guo Jia planning for him.Right now, Chen Feng can only see the tricks, and take a step to see.

Chapter 565 Elite Army 1

This time the Youzhou Army sent troops to the north, and they were able to win in such a short period of time. This is also a big encouragement for the construction of the Youyan Camp.

If it was before, Chen Feng had to summon a large number of servants every time he went to battle. There were a large number of them, and they were not familiar with each other, and their orders were different.

Fortunately, Chen Feng's opponents in the north were also in the same situation at that time, so the difference in the quality of soldiers between the two sides was not too big.

Therefore, sometimes the party with more people does not necessarily have an absolute advantage. After all, if there are more people, there will be more troubles and it will be difficult to manage.

Of course, the cavalry on the prairie are all born warriors. They have experienced countless hunting and wars in their ten or twenty years of life, and their own qualities are very high.

But marching and fighting pay attention to the overall strength of the army.The cooperation between the soldiers, whether the armaments are sufficient or not, whether the food and grass can be guaranteed, etc., will all determine the direction of the war.

Whether it's the servant army under Chen Feng's command or the cavalry on the grassland, their way of marching in battle or their camping skills are all quite brilliant.

This also proves that the prairie cavalry is quite difficult to deal with, but very few of them are professional soldiers. This is where the generals of the Han army are stronger than them.

In addition to entrusting individual generals to train elite soldiers, Chen Feng also formed three major battalions, which were not just for training soldiers and horses.

In these three battalions, there are places for training soldiers and places for training officers.At the same time, those who can enter these three battalions are all professional soldiers, and even newly recruited soldiers have to go through a period of cultural education.

In this way, the cycle of training soldiers will be lengthened, but the soldiers who can come out of the three major battalions are destined to be elite.

The most important point is that the three major battalions exist to train elite soldiers and officers, and the soldiers and horses from the three major battalions far surpass ordinary soldiers in terms of combat awareness.

For example, this time when the Youzhou army attacked the grassland, the Youyan camp only dispatched [-] soldiers, [-] servants and [-] slaves.

But why are they able to fight and defend in an orderly manner when facing double the enemy army? Could it be that all the battles were fought by those [-] elites?Could it be that the fighting power of the slave army and the slave army will be much higher than that of the opponent?

Of course not, if this is the case, then this battle should not be carried out like this, but in fact, whether it is the servant army or the slave army, most of the generals above the corps leader are from the Youyan camp Sergeant.

Regardless of whether it is the servant army or the slave army, they all respect professional soldiers. This is an unwritten rule under Chen Feng's rule. The status of professional soldiers is much higher than those of the servant army.

Regardless of the background of a professional soldier, whether he was Han or Wuhuan, or he was a slave, as long as he can walk out of the Youyan camp, his status will be different.

Therefore, before the expedition, Zhang He dispatched some elites to serve as grassroots officers among the servant army and slave army.

First, these officers are responsible for counting the military exploits and rewards of the soldiers under their command. Second, when a war breaks out, the main responsibility of these officers is to maintain the order of their subordinates and ensure the orderly conduct of the battle.

Therefore, in the fight against the Wuhuan cavalry, even if the Youzhou army fought with servants, even if they were small in number, they were able to resist the enemy's attack. The presence.

As for the servants and slaves, they had to ensure the lives of those low-level generals while fighting. Even if the officers died in battle, they had to find a way to get their bodies back.

Otherwise, the military law is there.The Youzhou Army's expedition this time can be regarded as a test of the feasibility of this system.

When the battle was just going on, there were indeed a small number of servants and slaves who did not respect orders, and even disobeyed the orders of the generals on the battlefield.

What's more, because they were greedy for life and afraid of death, they disobeyed generals, and as a result, some grassroots generals died in battle in their posts.

For such subordinates, whether they are servants or slaves, Tian Yu only has three words: kill without mercy.

Only by using heavy codes to govern the army can the whole army be feared.After beheading a group of thorns and troublemakers, the military discipline of the servant army and slave army has also taken on a new look, and they naturally know how to cooperate with the generals at the grassroots level.

"My lord's elite soldier policy has already paid off. The Youyan camp was the first to be established, and it was also the first to be drawn out to practice.

After this battle, the implementation of our army's elite soldier system will reduce a lot of resistance.At that time, the three major battalions will be able to expand their troops smoothly. "

This was the fourth day after receiving the victory report from Youzhou. Jia Xu, Chen Feng, and Xu Shu all collected a lot of information about the war, and then handed it over to relevant personnel for analysis.

"The expansion of the army is certain, but there is no rush. The Youyan Camp was established the earliest and has the best foundation, but the Hetao Camp and the Yongliang Camp are probably not so good.

If you want to expand your army, you must have tangible results. After next year, no matter if it is the Hetao camp or the Yongliang camp, you have to pull me out to practice and practice.

Elite soldiers are not made by training, but by fighting one after another.Excellent officers can only improve their talents by putting theoretical knowledge into practice on the battlefield.

Also, the focus of the next reform should be on the military staff system and logistics medical care system. If these two things are brought up, the combat effectiveness of the three major battalions of our army will definitely be at the top of the world. "

Among the three major battalions formed by Chen Feng, part of the system was modeled on the military system of later generations. Of course, this was also the result of his careful consideration.

For example, in the staff system, each general has a group of staff around him to provide various decisions for marching operations and logistics and people's livelihood. What the main general has to do is to make decisions and make choices.

In fact, this system is similar to the general decision-making system of the Qin Army back then.Back then, before the Qin army fought, the commander would discuss with his lieutenants how to proceed with the battle, and very few things happened.

As for the battlefield medical care system, there are no relevant cases in this era for reference, but as a time traveler, as a commander who has experienced too many battles, Chen Feng clearly knows that the combat effectiveness of wounded veterans far exceeds that of fully trained soldiers. recruits.

There are usually not too many soldiers who actually die on the battlefield. Apart from massacres and other factors, many soldiers died from injuries, infections, or lack of effective treatment.

If this medical system can be perfected, what Chen Feng will get will not be cold corpses, but more veterans.

Take one step and see ten steps. Only in this way can you see farther and walk faster than others.Chen Feng's starting point was low. If he wanted to surpass his opponent, he had to speed up his pace on a solid basis.

These years, he has not walked fast, but every step is very safe, which also determines that he will walk farther away from his opponents.

Chapter 566 Elite Army 2

From the time he arrived in western Liaoning to the present, the main opponents Chen Feng faced were the cavalry on the grasslands. Although he also fought against the Yuan brothers, in fact, these were not the first-class troops in the world.

If he wanted to unify the world, if he wanted to continue on this road of hegemony, Chen Feng would eventually meet Cao Cao.

However, if those servants or slaves were used to compete with Cao Jun, who has the title of Tiger and Wolf Division, then Chen Feng would be suicidal.

To defeat Cao Cao, and to defeat Cao Jun on the frontal battlefield, Chen Feng must have more elite subordinates, a more complete system, and a more complete logistics and medical security system.

In these years, every step Chen Feng took and everything he did was almost aimed at defeating Cao Cao.Fortunately, these years, he went in the right direction.
