Chapter 187: Strong generals and elite soldiers, rear food and grass
Qu Dazhong couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of this.
However, Ci did not control military affairs, but did not control wealth. Qu Dazhong is now the commander of the army, so he could only suppress the pain in his heart. The true energy turned into thousands of threads and poured into his eyes. His pupils first contracted, then expanded, and his eyes became dark.
He practiced an eye technique called hyperopia, which can reduce the pupils and greatly improve the vision.
This kind of military secret technique is a compulsory method for senior scouts and commanders of the army. It is also called Hawkeye technique in the world, but not many people practice it.
The hyperopia technique inherited by the Qu family is unique than the ordinary hyperopia technique.
The scout practiced this secret technique for detection, and the commander practiced this secret technique to be able to grasp the overall situation when he was in the battle. This is also the reason why when hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting in formation, it was necessary to build a high platform for the commander to climb to a high place and command the army through flags.
As for the battlefield with thousands of people in front of you, you can't use such a scene.
The two armies fought fiercely, and one side of the Chu army could not hold on, and nearly a hundred people fell down in a blink of an eye.
Ji Chan issued an order, and the spearmen and crossbow archers mixed into two square formations and separated from each other. The crossbow archers poked the crossbow arrows out from the gaps of the spearmen, leaving a five or six feet of road in the middle, and then ringing the golden gong.
Although the Chu army was defeated, Qu Weipeng snatched his elder brother's body, and his sword, shield and hand rushed into the broken rear. The cavalry began to retreat from the periphery of the spear square formation. The infantry retreated from the middle of the spear square formation. The two spear crossbow square formations were like a rock pillar, and they did not move at all.
Although there were still two or three hundred people unable to retreat and were eventually killed and captured, most of them still retreated.
The Dead Soldiers Camp no longer pursued them, and they also called the gold to withdraw their troops.
Both sides were camping here, and the three thousand men were just a test of each other. It had nothing to do with the overall situation, and there was no need to be greedy for merit and risk.
"The Chu army is indeed elite." Lin Ji praised. Even Luo Gan, who was standing behind him, nodded in his heart, but his face was silent.
What he saw was not the victory or defeat of this battle, but the performance of the Chu army in the process of formation battle, especially when the Chu army was at a disadvantage and changed its formation and left, whether it was the general command or the sergeant who served the military orders to be executed, his performance was amazing. Even Lin Ji, as an enemy, couldn't help but exclaim.
He was born as a cavalry general of the Wu Kingdom and knew the best of cavalry.
Although the cavalry charge is amazing, if you fall into a melee, you will have to pay a huge price to get rid of the other party's entanglement.
The two armies were fighting in an interweaving manner, and it was not easy for the Chu army to retreat. However, under the command of the opponent's general, several teams of sword and shield soldiers inserted into the cavalry melee area, and at the cost of considerable casualties, they forced a gap for the cavalry to retreat.
The subsequent formation changes are as exquisite as embroidering on the battle formation. The opponent's chief general commands the military formation like an arm to use his fingers; the opponent's soldiers are willing to execute orders and act according to orders, and do not care about life and death. Only in order to achieve the intention of the chief general and successfully transform into a formation and break away in the melee.
In this way, both elite soldiers and strong generals are indispensable, and even if both are both, they may not be able to successfully break away. Lin Ji asked himself, if he commanded under the command, even if the other party can successfully break away, the loss would definitely be much greater than now.
This is the difference in commander's ability. Just like a skilled chess player suppressing a low level of chess player, the same military and horse can achieve a far-reaching record in the hands of different commanders - this is what the situation is said to be incompetent and exhausted thousands of troops.
Of course, no matter how skilled the commander is, it is not omnipotent. If the commander is directed to the archer array to shoot arrows and suppress the order, the order will be passed down, and a quarter of an hour has passed before the archer has reached the designated position to arrange the array. Then no command art is useful - this is also the reason why elite soldiers are extremely valuable.
Just like in the battle under the city, the Dead Soldiers Camp relies solely on elite troops and small battle formations to build a tacit understanding. As long as the command does not make big mistakes, it can steadily suppress the opponent. No matter how clever the opponent's general is, it can only reduce the losses, but it is difficult to turn the tables.
Chu Army camp.
Qu Dazhong looked at his beloved general Ji Chan commanding the army to slowly retreat into the camp, nodded slightly, and ordered: "I ordered the army to compile a Chinese letter and make an appointment with the other party to fight the decisive battle at the city three days later."
In this battle, the Chu army suffered a great loss, and even Qu Weilong of the Qu family was in front of the battlefield.
However, this is not Ji Chan's responsibility. He was able to regain Qu Weilong's body and save the army at a disadvantage, which was already remarkable.
However, he still failed to catch the crazy gangster Lu Wu when creating such a scene suitable for fighting. Qu Dazhong was also a little disappointed.
Perhaps only after you come to the front and gain the advantage to suppress the opponent's military formation can this beast jump out of the darkness and kill the generals and flags to turn the tide.
The martial artists in the world are basically like this, and the stronger the martial artists, the more they like to do this kind of thing - especially those generals who hate the heavens and have no rings of hatred.
All countries have been in full swing for hundreds of years and wars have been raging.
Among the ten fighting generals who died in various dynasties, seven or eight out of ten were all taken the initiative to break into the opponent's military formation, and fell into a lot of ambush and killed.
But even so, the fight between the generals of all countries still do their own thing and regard the generals of rushing into the army as a common practice.
Chu State, Yancheng Prefecture, Yinping City.
Yancheng Prefecture is located west of Tonghe Prefecture. It is the only way to get from Tonghe Prefecture to Chengdu.
Yinping City is located at the southernmost end of Yancheng Prefecture. The city is not big, but the city walls are towering. It is a rare non-prefecture city, but the city walls are more than three meters tall.
This is the front line of the Chu army's troops stationed in Wu and Chu when they fought in the war. It was built from the county town. Now it has no significance as a strategic location, so it has been restored to civilian use.
However, these days, the Chu army launched a large-scale conquest of the three southern prefectures, re-controlling the city as an important military node in the rear of the army and also a transfer place for the Chu army's food, grass and supplies.
Although General Qu Dazhong also built granaries on the front line to stock up on the food and grass, 25,000 troops were still left here, which shows his importance to this city.
As a general stationed here, General Shu Tongyuan, the Yuewu general, also knew that he was responsible for heavy responsibilities and did not dare to be careless at all.
"Reported that the lieutenant Fang returned from escorting the food and grass and was waiting outside the hall." A personal soldier came in to report.
"Come him in."
"Here!"
"The last one will come and pay the order." Fang Teng walked into the lobby with a clanging sound, holding a general order with both hands. He took Shu Tongyuan's accompanying servant and took the order and placed it on Shu Tongyuan's desk.
"What's the situation in front of you?" Shu Tongyuan took back the order and put it into the order sign, and asked.
"Report to General, bandits gathered in Tonghe City. Now they have seen three formations with the general, and they are not sure of the winner. Although the general has a little advantage, the bandits have the advantage of the city and are eager to win." Fang Teng reported the report, and then hesitated slightly on his face.
"Oh, what else?"
"The last general heard that General Chen Wei Qu Weilong and General Meng Yang of the bandit army died together and died on the battlefield."
"What!?" Shu Tongyuan was shocked: "Is this true?"
"I heard that Meng Yang is known as the Thunder Sword, and his cultivation has reached the first level of innateness, and his internal and externalization."
Fang Teng was just an officer who was carrying the food and grass. He had to get out of here after handing over the food and grass. It wasn't his turn to inquire about the news all over the floor. When he could hear the news, there were still an acquaintance in the camp and chatted for a few words.
How dare he pat his chest to make a promise without seeing Qu Weilong's corpse with his own eyes?
He could only prove from the side that the interior and externalization of the innate first-grade is extraordinary. Even if the masters of the martial arts world are not very good at riding horses, they are qualified to fight to the death.
"Even Qu Weilong was dead--" Shu Tongyuan was a little lost.
"The end will be resigned."
"Go down - let's take a break for two days, then go back to the Cheng to pick up the next batch of food and grass."
"General Xie." Fang Teng retreated.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting, and food and food were astronomical. No matter how much food and food was, it was not enough. The transportation level was still lagging behind these days, so it could only rely on the continuous transportation of auxiliary troops from the county and county to transport it from the rear.
