If an army has been following a general for a long time, and has accepted the general's command mode imperceptibly in his heart, he will naturally be able to command his soldiers like an arm and a finger.
Why was the army of Song Dynasty weak and defeated by Liao, Jin and Mongolian? Of course, the absence of war horses is an important reason, but the most important reason is the separation of the military power of the Song Dynasty and the power of dispatching troops.
An army, originally trained by Zhang San, was under the command of Li Si when he was fighting. He was totally unclear about his command method and would not know his soldiers. How could they win the battle?
The more soldiers in command, the more difficult it is for orders to reach the grass-roots level. One person only takes a few hundred people and shouts, which is natural and convenient for us to command. However, once tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people are under command, let alone arms and fingers, and the army can move freely according to the military order, it can be called a famous general.
So Liu Bang's 560000 army was defeated by Xiang Yu's 30000 cavalry in the first battle, while Wang Jian led 600000 troops to wipe out the state of Chu.
However, under the threat of 6000 Xiliang cavalry, the operation of the 30000 army under the command of Zhou Su was inevitably flawed.
As the Xiliang iron horse swam around the periphery, the Yellow turban thieves didn't pay attention to their feet when they turned around. Suddenly, dozens of yellow turban thieves in the southeast corner suddenly fell to the ground. As a result, the Yellow turban thieves around them were tripped by the Yellow turban thieves who fell on the ground. A flaw was revealed among the more than 20000 yellow turban thieves.
Pound's eyes brightened.
"Xiliang iron horse, charge!"
Three thousand Xiliang cavalry followed pound closely and charged suddenly. Even if it was a stepping soldier, it only took ten seconds to rush over. For Xiliang iron cavalry, it was almost instantaneous.
Kill!
The high raised saber was shining with snow. The sword forest fell down. With the help of the combination of man and horse, the saber easily cut the coat armor of the Yellow turban thief and splashed a piece of blood.
Three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry fiercely killed the Yellow turban bandits, like a wild ox rushing into it, and immediately knocked the Yellow turban thief upside down.
"Good! The whole army obeys orders and goes in to assist the brothers. "
Ma Chao sees that pound is the first one to kill him. He is not willing to fall behind. He cries. The three thousand Xiliang cavalry behind him roar like a stream. Jing Cong also bumps into the Yellow turban bandits.
Like two swords, two Xiliang cavalry fiercely cut into the Yellow turban bandits' Army array and rushed to kill them wantonly. The incomparable impact of Xiliang iron cavalry easily chiseled a pair of yellow turban thieves' Army array and rushed back and forth. The Yellow turban thieves were killed and wounded seriously.
"Come to me!"
Zhou Su was furious and angry.
Xu he saw two Xiliang cavalry in the Zhou Su army from afar, and immediately became angry: "drum! The whole army should not let go of the enemy cavalry. "
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
Hundreds of war drums were sounded at the same time. Xu he's 130000 troops were under his command. Naturally, the number of battle drums was also 10%. Hundreds of battle drums were sounded at the same time, like the roar of a giant beast, and the sound of shaking was like thunder rolling.
The Yellow turban thieves who were attacking the city immediately stopped attacking the city. They jumped down from the ladder one after another and gathered at 6000 Xiliang iron horses. At that time, nearly 100000 yellow turban thieves gathered from all directions, forming a huge stream of people. They gathered as if the wind and rain changed color, and wanted to crush the Xiliang iron cavalry completely.
"Lingming! The enemy forces are coming together. You should lead the troops to withdraw. We will cut off the rear in person. " Ma Chao yelled to pound.
Pound raised a spear and killed a yellow turban thief. He called out, "well, Mengqi, don't kill too hard. Retreat as soon as possible."
"Good!"
With a spear, pound pulled out of the yellow scarf bandits. With a shout of greeting, most of Xiliang's iron cavalry escaped from the enemy's encirclement one after another.
Ma Chao, on the other hand, led more than a thousand iron cavalry, not advancing but retreating. The iron cavalry pointed to Zhou su.
Ma Chao fought with blood. His armor was already stained red with blood. He could not tell whether it was his own blood or the enemy's blood. He clenched his teeth and urged his horse to move forward. Under the sunlight, a golden spear with tiger's head shone infinitely, pointing at Zhou su.
"Thief general, take your life!"
Ma Chao swept the whole army with his golden spear. He fought his way out of the thousands of troops and killed Zhou Su wholeheartedly.
"Ma's children, I'm afraid you won't succeed?"
Zhou Su was also a fierce general under Xu he's command. No one could defeat him except Sima's fear. Therefore, he held the ring head sword in his hand and swore.
"Look at the gun!"
Tiger head Zhanjin gun tears the air, in Zhou Su's eyes more and more big, this gun seems to have locked all Zhou Su's breath, irresistible.
Zhou Su was stunned and tried his best to swing a knife. This knife just cut on the front of the gun, which made the tiger head Zhanjin gun slightly deflected, while the ring head sword rose with a clang.
The tiger head Zhanjin gun stabbed Zhou Su's shoulder. Zhou Su turned over and fell off his horse in pain. He tried to endure the pain and hid himself in the yellow scarf thief.Ma Chao frowns and wants to catch up and kill Zhou su. However, he sees the faint encirclement of the Yellow turban thieves on his own army, so he has to give up.
"Damn it!" Ma Chao snorted and exclaimed, "the whole army must retreat, and we must not be obsessed with war."
More than a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry did not love to fight when they heard the order of Ma Chao. Relying on the mobility of the horses, they broke away from the cracks surrounded by the Yellow turban thieves. Only a few of them could not fight for a moment. They were surrounded by yellow turban thieves and died in the chaos.
A good plan to attack the city was so disturbed by these damned Xiliang cavalry. Xu he was furious: "the whole army pursues. You must not let go of Liangzhou cavalry!"
At Xu he's command, more than 100000 yellow turban thieves will naturally follow suit and pursue Xiliang steeds one after another. But how can two legs catch up with four legs?
More than 5000 iron cavalry of Xiliang left leisurely, leaving only a group of yellow turban thieves and horse butts.
The Han Army on the top of the city laughed and cheered.
With a smile on his face, Liu Ye said: "Meng Qi is worthy of being a general. Leading the cavalry to fight has already got the essence of it."
But Jia Xu said, "general, you'd better order the soldiers to carry the wounded soldiers and tidy up the walls."
Liu Ye nodded: "OK, order the garrison to prepare for the war and seize the time to rest. But I don't think the enemy will attack the city today. "
Jia Xu nodded with approval, and got Liu Ye's order. The Han Army in suanzao city took the time to repair and remove the wounded soldiers from the city to heal. At the same time, they renovated the city defense and carried the materials to guard against the next attack of yellow scarf thieves.
