I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 424 It seems something is not good!
Seeing the opponent immediately enter the combat state is actually a normal state of war.

The era where both sides have already seen each other, but the two sides have taken polite measures, and even the leaders of the two sides can make an appointment to eat and drink, seems to be gone forever?
The battle starts with the cavalry of both sides. Several cavalry can be seen cruising on the wide plain. Every cavalry of the enemy and us is fast or slow. If you find an opportunity to pounce on it, you will separate from each other after a short fight. .

"Zhao's cavalry mainly rides and shoots?" Zhiyao people are already on the nest cart.

Thanks to Mrs. Zhi for making stirrups and saddles. After Mrs. Zhao equipped these two things, they were driven to the grassland again, and the route of civilization inevitably had to be changed.

So, saddles and stirrups were brought to the grasslands, presumably they would spread to other nomadic peoples?
There is such a fact that the Zhi clan before turning their family into a country used cavalry mainly to mount and shoot. Other imitators must have done experiments with cavalry and came to the conclusion that Qingqi paid too much for charging, so that To imitate to the end, the same method of cavalry and archery is the main method.

To be honest, cavalry and archery can only harass troops with a high armor-piercing rate, and only have relatively strong lethality when facing troops with almost no armor-piercing rate.

"Maybe the Zhao family is invincible in the grasslands, and they can only play as support when they come to the Central Plains battlefield." Zhiyao saw the same fact, and turned her eyes to the other side of the formation.

The troops of the two sides that went into battle in advance were more than [-] infantry and cavalry from the coalition army, and about [-] infantry and cavalry from Yuanguo's side.

After all, the original army came from afar. Even if Zhiyao kept the army in formation, the vanguard would actually be restricted by woods, small slopes and other constraints.

It will be difficult to see which is better in a cavalry battle for a while.

It is easier to see something in the battle situation of the coordination of infantry and vehicles.

As usual, chariots are the front-running unit, and each chariot is closely followed by a group of infantry.

The Yuan State still used the Jin State's army organization, with 75 infantry following a chariot.In the past, the Jin army took advantage of this kind of organization, but now it is still the original army that takes advantage.

Once the chariot is destroyed or forced to stand still, the infantry of both sides will start fighting immediately, with more people fighting and fewer people, plus the combat effectiveness of the original army itself is higher than that of other princes, how could the coalition forces not retreat steadily? Woolen cloth?
The number of coalition infantry troops that went into battle was almost double that of the original army, but it seemed that the coalition army was beaten locally by the original army.This is the difference between how many troops there are and how many troops are actually used to exert effective combat power.

Therefore, Luan Shu is worthy of being an old bastard who understood the advantages of a large organization more than 100 years ago and changed the organization of the Jin army.

What is more fatal to other princes?The Jin people themselves are very capable of fighting, and if the number of soldiers of a "two" is three times that of the princes, it must be even more terrible!

It's not that the princes didn't want to learn from Luan Shu to change the army structure. First, they didn't have enough personnel to participate in the war. Second, their economy was difficult to support, or they were oppressed by the state of Jin.

Now, Zhiyao is still a beneficiary of Luan Shu. The original army of about [-] not only withstood the attack of the [-] coalition army, but also reversed it.

Of course, the larger the army is not the better, the actual situation is the most important thing.

how to say?Some divisions have more than 3000 people, and some divisions have more than 8000 people, but the former can beat the latter violently, and some divisions can even fight with an army.It still depends on the overall quality, and then there is the gap in military equipment.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army has made other movements." Ji Qin said.

Zhiyao turned her eyes to the place where there was a change, and visually estimated that more than ten thousand people left the headquarters of the coalition army again.

Looking at the banner of the coalition army with new movements, even though the distance is a bit far, it is still possible to distinguish it from the State of Yue and the State of Lu.

Zhiyao turned around and looked at the back of her side. A large number of vehicles were already taking defensive measures, and some auxiliary soldiers were also starting to cut trees.

"Zhiying." Zhiyao called a name.

A young man who looked to be in his twenties came over.

Zhiyao ordered: "You can lead [-] cavalry to harass the Vietnamese army and the Lu army."

Ji Qin, who was a little disappointed at first, heard that his name was being called, and quickly put on a posture of listening respectfully.

"Qin leads a 'division' forward. If the enemy sends troops to block, fight with them; if the enemy does not reinforce, follow the dispatch of the national lieutenant, and wipe out the enemy's infantry." Zhiyao gave another order.

What Ji Qin wants is a stage so that he can make contributions.

The original system has not been perfected yet, but most people know that it will not be the original state of Jin, and the policies implemented by the Zhi family will definitely be continued.

What is Chi's policy?Regardless of one's family background, meritorious service will be rewarded, and no matter how high one's family background is, those who commit crimes will be punished.

The troops that Sun Wu is commanding are the standing army that Zhiyao has built for seven or eight years. If it is difficult to fight [-] against [-], it will make Zhiyao a big joke.

The progress of the battle was not only smooth, it was completely the original army that suppressed the coalition forces and beat them violently!
Zhiyao transferred another "division" of troops, in order to attract the enemy's reinforcements, or to stop the enemy's fighting.

If the princes provide reinforcements, the original army can destroy more coalition forces before the opponent is not mentally prepared.

What if the princes didn't send reinforcements?Zhiyao wiped out the enemy troops that had already participated in the battle, and then created an environment where they could properly set up their camps.

Zhiyao looked up at the sky.

The sun has moved to the west of the middle, the time should be around 14:[-]?There are still more than two hours before dark.

Zhiyao raised a gadget in her hand and brought it to her eyes.

What is this thing other than a telescope?
Burning glass is one of the things that almost every traveler will do. Zhiyao provided related concepts, and it took Zhiyao six years to produce qualified glass.

The glass requirements for making telescopes will be higher, and it took another two years to produce finished products.

Back then, it took Zhiyao nearly three years to "invent" paper.

This is still the great cause of Zhi's family, which is enough to illustrate the difficulty of starting from scratch.

Observing through a telescope, Zhiyao can see the princes standing on the nest carts more clearly.

The princes all looked very serious, as if they knew that Jin people could fight... No, they should be called Yuanren, but the name Yuanren sounds a bit strange.

It's just that the flag has been changed, and the shirt has not changed, but the princes have found that the opponent is more capable of fighting!

There's nothing weird about it.

After turning the family into a country, the Zhi family has gained benefits but also faced crises, and the people under the rule are actually the same.

To put it bluntly, most people in the original country now hope that the scale of the war will be larger, so that they can become one of the conscripts.

For this group of people who are serving, they hope that wars will break out one after another, and they will have more opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Under such circumstances, hoping to make contributions, how could the original army soldiers not fight hard, and they would definitely show a stronger desire to fight than before.

"Are you withdrawing troops? You can't go on." Zhiyao turned her attention to Sun Wu.

It can be seen that Sun Wu issued instructions frequently. The original army surrounded the enemy army during the mobilization. If the princes did not send reinforcements to rescue them, 9000 or [-] people would really be wiped out.

At the same time, Zhao's cavalry tried to help the friendly army out of the siege, but they overestimated themselves, and also underestimated the cavalry of the original army. After throwing in three or five hundred cavalry, Zhao Wuxie gave the order to withdraw.

Under such a serious occasion, there is a place that looks funny.

The combined number of the Vietnamese army and the Lu army is about [-]. I don't know who will be their commander. From the various postures of the march, we can see a kind of hesitation.

Zhiying led [-] cavalry to appear, and directly made the Yue army turn around and leave. The Lu army who was left behind also turned around and ran away after advancing a little distance.

Dare to turn your back on the cavalry?The slow-running Lu army was shot down by arrows one after another, and was chased by the cavalry of the original army, which turned into a tail-to-tail chase.

At any rate, the Vietnamese army discovered that situation and regrouped in place to resist part of the pressure. Otherwise, the more than 3000 Lu troops did not know how many could escape alive.

The Vietnamese army and the Lu army retreated cautiously against the constant arrows, and their appearance became a joke.This scene didn't attract many people's attention, most people were looking at the other side where the battle was raging.

Sun Wu was obviously playing tricks. He could use the most violent offensive to eliminate the coalition forces staying on the battlefield, but he repeatedly gave them hope to break through, and it seemed that he wanted to attract the princes to send troops to rescue them.

If there is no accident, today's battle is probably like this?

"I thought the Chu army would retreat tonight." Zhiyao returned to the tent and summoned high-level officials who had no military affairs.

The crowd had different expressions when they heard this.

Would the monarchs and ministers of Chu State do that?In fact, Chu State did this not once or twice.

Zhiyao continued: "Should the troops retreat to the south of the Song Dynasty, or should the army go north next year?"

It's just that the battle in the afternoon will not completely destroy the confidence of the princes. They all have eyes and a sound mind and know that there is no chance of winning this battle. They must be more fully prepared, and they will fight Yuanguo again in the future.

Fan Li said: "This is not a good thing."

Of course not a good thing.

As a result, the battle of the original country's prestige was not won, and it could not intimidate the other countries from easily invading.

The next time the coalition forces come back, they must be better prepared, and the scale of the battle will not be small!
Once the Chu army really ran at night, the original army would certainly be able to target them, and even if they couldn't wipe them all out, they would certainly be able to wipe out many of them.

However, it is impossible to intimidate the princes in this battle, and there will be larger-scale battles in the future, and it will even enter a period of using various means to interfere or even destroy the opponent's domestic stability.

"Most of the princes are here, keep them, and don't be afraid that the mainland will not come to save them!"

Now Zhiyao needs to think about how to keep the princes...
