Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 115 Confrontation
Wang Xiaolie rode on the horse, looked at Zhai Xing's army on the other side of the Yi River, and did not speak for a long time.

Zhai Jin died in battle. At this time, the Zhai family's army was completely naked, with great filial piety.The camp is close to the Yi River, and the army has been gathering.

Wang Xiaolie originally planned to decide how to fight after five days, but the Zhai family army on the other side continued to cross the Yi River every day.The battle was so fierce that Yang Jin's army on the other side of the river was terrified.

It was now November, and the river was freezing cold, and it was beginning to freeze at night.Zhai Xing's army waded across the river to attack every day, and none of them retreated.Wang Xiaolie saw it in his eyes and admired it in his heart.

As the sun rose high, the drums on the other side sounded, Zhai Jin took the lead and prepared to cross the river again.

Shao Ling, who was standing aside, said, "Zhizhou, the other side is going to cross the river again, what shall we do?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "I have figured out the situation in the past few days, so there is no need to hold back. When Zhai's army was crossing the river, we attacked the barracks in front. In the front is Meng Junchi, the general of Yang Jin's army, and his troops are said to be two thousand. But after our investigation , Most of them are young strong who came from strong stabs. Yang Jin is not as strong as we thought before, so don't worry anymore!"

Shao Ling crossed hands and said yes.

Watching Zhai's army gather by the river, Wang Xiaolie sighed: "The commander of an army must win the hearts of the army. Only when Taiwei Zhai died in battle, and the entire army was killed, would he be able to take revenge to the death. If I die , I don’t know how many people are like this.”

Shao Ling and the others hurriedly said: "How can Zhizhou say such things? We will follow you and do our best!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head and said nothing more.He naturally knew in his heart that at least for now, he could not reach Zhai Jin's level.Zhai Jin relied not only on his own prestige, but also on the strength of the Zhai family.My family is in Ruzhou, but I don't have the momentum of the Zhai family.

Seeing the sound of horns on the opposite bank, Zhai Xing led his army to line up on the bank and began to prepare to cross the river.Wang Xiao said: "Go down. Listen to my orders, don't scatter. The two armies are fighting with each other, and they will win with surprise. The enemy must not be able to move forward, and the enemy must strike at the vital point. Niu Gao's troops are strange, and the rest of the armies are regular."

Several people crossed their hands and sang promises.Each rode to the headquarters.

The birds in front were disturbed, Pu Leng Leng flew up, and flew straight to the distant woods.The horseshoe stepped on the ground, and the frost on the ground was picked up, and under the sunlight, it shone with colorful light.

Wang Xiaolie looked at the tranquility before the war with a blank expression.

After a few months, your own army should be able to adapt to frontal combat.The rules in the army and the situations encountered in wartime are all taught clearly.Even if someone really can't understand it, with the help of their companions, it will not affect the battle.But winning by surprise, I'm afraid it is still difficult to do it at this time.Wang Xiaolie knew that Shao Ling, Xie Linong, Cao Zhiyan, and Yu Huan at this time did not have this ability.I don't know if Niu Gao can match Wang Xiaolie, but he is a famous player in history, so he should be stronger.

In the past few months, Wang Xiaolie thought many times what kind of war he would face, but he didn't think that the first battle would be like this.

Yang Jin is a typical group of bandits, who started from army bandits and expanded extremely rapidly.His military power far exceeds Wang Xiaolie's previous prediction, but the real combat power is hard to estimate.Wang Xiaolie originally thought that when a group of thieves raised an army, they must coerce a large number of people, and there were not many soldiers.actually not.Yang Jin has a lot of soldiers, and it has expanded five or six times in just two or three months.And a battle was won, and morale was high.

For the bandits, Wang Xiaolie underestimated.After they raised their troops, it was one thing to coerce the people, and it was two to stab all the strong and strong people among the people into the army, and to expand their strength in a short period of time.The characteristics of the army, such a short-term expansion and abandonment are not without combat effectiveness.As long as the wind is smooth and morale is high, they will become stronger and stronger.Just can't face headwinds.Once defeated, it may collapse.

What surprised Wang Xiaolie even more was Zhai's army on the opposite side of the Yi River.They are very united and their military orders are neat, far from being comparable to ordinary troops.Wang Xiaohun's own army is no match for Zhai's army at this time.

The army at this time was often named a certain army after the surname of the chief general.For example, Yue Fei, the army is called the Yue Family Army.Han Shizhong, he commanded is called the Han family army.Wu Lin in Sichuan and Shaanxi, his subordinates are called Wu Jiajun.and so on.But the Zhai family army is different from them, it is indeed the army of the Zhai family.

Zhai Ding is a big clan in Yiyang, whose root is not far from Luoyang.The main force of this army is the members of the Zhai family.They are particularly united, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of other armies.However, due to the reliance on the tribe, the size of this army is not large.

There are actually many such armies.For example, the Zhejia army in the north has surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, and the Zhongjia army in the northwest is mostly located in the frontier.They have fought for generations and are powerful.But most of them are different from the Zhai family army, they put the interests of the family first and surrendered to the foreign race.

Wang Xiaolie didn't know whether it was good or bad for a country to have such an army.This kind of thing is really hard to say.

The generals are in place.Wang Xiaolie saw that Zhai Xing started to cross the river on the opposite side, and ordered his subordinates to blow the horn and raise the handsome flag forward.

There is an example of Zhai Jin's unfortunate death in battle. At this time, Wang Xiaolie is different from before, no longer charging forward.If you have generals, of course you will order the generals to charge forward.Otherwise, if you accidentally end your life on the front line, your own army will also collapse.

Shao Ling, Xie Linong, and Yu Huan commanded the three armies and moved slowly towards the front barracks.Cao Zhiyan led the rear army and guarded Wang Xiaolie's surroundings.Niu Gao led his troops to move to the south of the mountain, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Yang Jin's barracks on the opposite side also became messy with flags and began to reorganize the army.

When fighting with cold weapons, an orderly lineup is crucial.If the formation is in chaos, the entire army may be defeated.This is very different from the hot weapons of later generations.The offensive team moves slowly, and the defensive team scrambles.When the two armies meet, use the range of long-range weapons to vacate the open space in the middle, which is the so-called shooting position.

When fighting, the coach usually observes the formation of both sides.Choose the weak link of the enemy and send a small army to harass.Once the opponent's formation is impulsive, the army will press up and choose various methods to defeat the opponent.After the defeat, the heads were harvested in an organized manner.

In a big battle, the local battles are often fierce, and the people rushing to kill are red-eyed and blood-boiling.On the whole, it was as motionless as a mountain, and the army just watched silently.Sometimes the battle is stalemate, and this situation may even last for dozens of days.

When watching film and television works in the previous life, there was often a loud shout, and someone rushed up with a commotion.On the battlefield, if you rush up like this, you can't take care of the front, rear, left, and right, and will be consciously divided by the opponent, and then eaten one by one.What film and television works need is visual impact. Just like war, the picture will be extremely dull.Not only cold weapons, but also hot weapon wars are actually difficult to shoot according to reality.

Wang Xiaolie was influenced by the records of his previous life, so he would feel extremely dull about such a battlefield.Without being distracted, it is actually a torment to seize the fleeting opportunities on the battlefield.

Yang Jin's army left the barracks and began to line up on the opposite side.The two armies marched to the place where an arrow was shot, and each shot to hold their positions.

Wang Xiaolie saw that the front of Zhai's army had crossed the Yihe River, landed on the bank, and fought fiercely with Yang Jinjun on the bank.Yang Jin's army occupies a favorable location, and they can't stop shooting arrows from above, which makes it difficult for Zhai Xing to lead the army.As soon as there were more troops crossing the river, Yang Jin would send cavalry over to drive the troops of the Zhai family who were crossing the river into the river.

At this time, the sun was high, the ice and snow on the ground melted, and the ground became a little muddy.

Wang Xiaolie looked at Yang Jin's army on the opposite side, the lineup could be regarded as neat, and they stood there quietly, not knowing where to start.
