I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 447 The Beginning of Sweeping the World

It is an old trick of the Chu State to think that the barbarians are always there.

The person who spoke was Zhi Huan, who didn't have a strong sense of presence at all, and was currently Yuan Guo's Lang Guan Ling.

What is Lang Guanling?To put it bluntly, it is the commander of the guards.

Guards and Miyagi guards have two identities. Guards will follow Zhiyao around, and Miyagi guards mainly guard Miyagi.If you distinguish carefully, the guards of Miyagi belong to the military, but the bodyguards do not.

Zhiyao learned from the practices of the Western Han Dynasty, set up Lang Guan as a talent pool, and then recruited a group of heroes.

Therefore, Lang Guan is either the second generation of nobles or the second generation of officials, and there are no people of ordinary background.

It's not that Zhiyao engages in discrimination, the key is that ordinary families in the current era cannot produce talents.

Ordinary families have problems with three meals a day. Enlightenment does not need to be thought about. If you are not literate, you will not be able to absorb the next step of knowledge as nutrition.

It does not rule out that there are talents among the illiterate, but Zhiyao really has not encountered them for the time being.

Knowing that Zhiheng was fighting back against his rudeness, Ziqi was silent for a moment before saluting to Zhiyao, saying, "Greetings to Uncle Zhi on behalf of my king."

The original country used Lao Huang to bury the king of Chu country, but he was just a viscount?

Ziqi can remind Zhi Shi of his origin.

The Yuan people at the scene immediately glared at Ziqi, as if they would rush forward at any moment.

Sun Wu said: "What's the benefit of showing off the power of the tongue? It will only make the world laugh. I don't know what Chu Jun sent his feet to say?"

Of course Ziqi recognized Sun Wu.

It should be said that even if the dignitaries of Chu State had not seen Sun Wu with their own eyes, they would have heard of Sun Wu's name and deeds to some extent.

They were so afraid of Sun Wu that after Ziqi recognized Sun Wu, he didn't "beep" any more, and said, "My king invites Mr. Yuan to 'Xinzheng' for hunting."

I don't know who was the first to laugh in the tent, which caused a burst of "haha" laughter.

The Chu army went north and the Yuan army went south, it was just a battle.

The current era is no longer the era of fighting gentlemen's wars. Considering that the Chu State has more than 30 troops going north, and then invites the original army to the pre-set battlefield, it really deserves to be considered a barbarian at every turn.

Zhiyao said, "Tell Mr. Chu that the widow will go."

After reaching the purpose of the mission, Ziqi did not delay, did not perform a single ceremony, turned around and walked away.

When Zhixu Wu saw it, he said angrily, "Chu people are really barbarians!"

Sun Tzu said: "It's just to anger me."

The current situation is that the Chu State is expected to send more than 30 troops from the south to the north, and more than 20 Chu troops have entered the border of the Zheng State; at the same time, the Qin Army and the Dai Army have a combined force of about [-] to [-], and they may have already begun to attack Jingshui. s attack.

If there is no accident, more than 20 Chu troops are stationed around "Xinzheng". Zheng Guo should have confessed to Chu State?I just don't know to what extent Zheng Guohui participated in this battle.

Then, among the countries that will definitely participate in this war, the Chu camp includes Qin, Zheng, Dai and the half-dead Lu, while Yuan has no apparent allies.

From the point of view of military strength, the combined camp of Chu State must exceed 35 troops. Once Zheng State cannot bear the pressure, the total force used to fight Yuan State may reach about 40?

On the side of Yuanguo, Zhiyao led an army of 15 to the south, about [-] in the west, and about [-] in the north?Not counting the local garrison troops, the first batch of Yuan country's troops to go to war totaled [-].

"The army of Chu came in mighty force, and it is the right way to fight head-on." What Sun Wu said was the plan of the king and ministers of Chu.

Of course Zhiyao knew it, and said with a smile: "The 30 men under my command are enough to counter the [-] coalition forces."

The original country's standing army is the most well-equipped!
Three thousand heavy infantry basically wear three layers of armor, two layers of leather armor inside, one layer of cloth face armor outside, one shield in each hand, and weapons include long weapons, short weapons, bows or crossbows.

Each of the [-] regular infantry has a cloth face armor, a long weapon and a short weapon.

The remaining [-] are the cavalry who have not shown up for the time being. They are also equipped with cloth face armor, a lance, a saber, a small round shield, and a horn bow. The horses have breastplates.

There is only [-] standing troops, against [-] to [-], and even twice as many enemy troops as the terrain permits, there is no fear at all!

There is also a full-strength regiment that is fully equipped with cloth face armor going south. The rest of the equipment is slightly inferior to the standing army, and the level of training is not enough, but there is absolutely no problem with [-] soldiers fighting against [-] to [-] enemy troops.

Ten thousand cavalry?It may not be possible to fight head-on, but it is always possible to contain [-] to [-] enemy troops, right?

The rest of the troops from the Zhong family, the Fox family, and other families also had a set of cloth face armor, and their weapons were mainly swords. How could [-] soldiers be able to fight against an enemy army of about [-] to [-]?
Zhiyao has the ability to effectively use all the troops at hand.

Can anyone on the coalition side effectively command an army of more than 30?If there is no such handsome talent, the number of troops in the coalition army is not the key, but the number of troops that can play a role is the real key!
three days later.

Zhiyao led his army to the northeast about five miles away from "Xinzheng".

During this period of time, the Chu army seemed to be worried that the Yuan army would not come to the appointment, and did not make any small moves from the beginning to the end.

Twenty miles away for three days?not really.

Zhiyao spent two days in the camp cutting and collecting wood, one of which was spent on marching.

This is a lesson taught to the world by someone who cut down the woods around the battlefield, so that all the generals will properly store wood along the way, so as not to get speechless when they see the bare trees all over the ground. At the same time, we have to face the very real big problem.

The two armies could see each other five miles apart.Seeing here does not refer to clearly seeing the facial features and flags, but simply because of the large number of each other, it is difficult to ignore a large area of ​​darkness.

After the original army came into the sight of the Chu army, the sound of war drums sounded in the camp of the Chu army, and about two quarters of an hour a large group of chariots rushed out.

"The people of Chu invited the hunting party before, and if they do this behavior again, Chu Xinjun is very similar to Duke Zhuang of Chu." Sun Wu said.

This is the Chu army who is playing with ease and waiting for work, and wants to take advantage of the original army coming from a long distance. During the march, a lot of physical strength was consumed, so they took advantage of the opportunity.

Zhiyao had already reacted just now, dispatching [-] cavalry to attack and harass, while the rest of the troops hurriedly prepared for battle.

Certainly not fully armed during the march.This is why some troops can be ambushed while marching on the plains. It is not a sneak attack that enters the range of arrows, but it is simply too late to penetrate armor and line up, and it is difficult to resist without forming a formation.

Soldiers are not armed and have no formation?In a confrontation, you will definitely suffer a big loss. The most likely thing for the commander is to shout "ambush, retreat" or something like that.

Zhiyao guessed that the Chu army would do this, why didn't the soldiers march in full armor?Just because marching in full armor is really exhausting!

"How does the Zhao family's cavalry compare with the original country's cavalry?" Zhao Bolu was the one who asked Ziguo.

And Zhao Bolu is now on the side of the Chu army as an envoy of the Qin State. Hearing this, he showed a surprised expression and said, "Bolu is a minister of the Qin State, not a minister of the Zhao Dynasty."

Some borders in the south will be blurred, and the principle in the middle is that they will abide by the rules more.

For example, if you invest in different countries, even if you are from the same family, you will actually develop independently of each other.

Ziguo was from Chu, and he didn't believe that Zhao Bolu had completely severed his ties with Zhao's Daiguo. He said, "Now that the war is imminent, why should Dr. Zhao be cautious in his words?"

Zhao Bolu replied with a wry smile: "Bolu really doesn't know the details of Zhao Dai and Zhiyuan's cavalry. If there is a difference between the widowed monarch's cavalry and Zhiyuan's cavalry, maybe Bolu can answer one or two of them?"

Of course, Qin State has cavalry, and there are quite a few of them. Especially after losing the Jingshui River, most of the Qin people were forced to live a nomadic life again, which caused the number of cavalry that Qin State could recruit to increase sharply.

However, the cavalry of the Qin State is not the same concept or level as the cavalry of the Yuan State or the Zhao Clan.

Let’s put it this way, even if stirrups and saddles are no longer a secret, the ration rate of the original country’s cavalry to stirrups and saddles has reached 100%, the Zhao’s cavalry may be able to reach 70.00%, and the Qin’s cavalry may not even reach 40.00%.

The gap between the stirrups and saddles is the same, not to mention other things, including horseshoes, which are currently only distributed to the cavalry of the original country. The installation faces the same problem, that is, the huge gap in productivity, which leads to the fact that it is impossible for all employees to install it when they know what is easy to use.

At the same time, it is true that Yuan and Dai are cavalry, while most of Qin are cavalry infantry.

Many Chu people have never seen the original cavalry, because of their geographical location, they are also unfamiliar with riding alone.

"shoot!"

There was a burst of bowstring twitching, and the arrows lifted into the air like locusts, and then shot at the pile of Chu soldiers whose formation was already in chaos because they were in a moving state.

In an instant, screams or grunts appeared, and a large area of ​​the Chu army covered by the arrow rain fell down.

For the more than 20 Chu troops stationed around "Xinzheng", the per capita armor rate may be less than [-]%, and the vast majority of them will be wooden or bamboo armor.

Without armor and without a shield equipped?Facing the rain of arrows, they will definitely suffer. Apart from waving their weapons and trying to block them, all they can do is hide.

The cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom was playing horse archery, and the only thing they had to be careful was to avoid the arrows shot by the Chu army in time.

The horn bow is the main equipment of the original country's cavalry, and its effective range is only 60 meters.

The bows used by infantry definitely have a longer shooting range than horn bows.

The crux of the problem is that most archers of the Chu army use bamboo bows, and most of the arrows are made of bamboo as arrow shafts, and the effective range is difficult to exceed 50 meters.

In this way, a more interesting scene appeared. The original cavalry, who should not have an advantage in range, used horn bows to shoot farther than the Chu army who used bamboo bows.

The situation at the scene was that the Chu army had only a few bows made of wood that could threaten the Yuan country cavalry, and most of the bamboo bows lost range to the Yuan country cavalry's horn bows, which made the Yuan country cavalry shoot more effective arrows. , forcing the Chu army to stop fighting.

Behind them, the cavalry of the Yuan Kingdom even formed a circle. It seemed that the formation had become thinner, but they could shoot arrows at the Chu army from all directions.

Most of the soldiers of the Chu army didn't even realize when they were surrounded. They only knew that arrows were being shot everywhere, and they fell into a great panic when they saw their companions falling down from time to time.

If there are people from the Zhao family present, they will definitely praise in their hearts: "Good guy, I learned another trick!"

However, this tactic of the original country's cavalry was actually Zhiyao's method of applying Mongolian light cavalry. The Mongols used this tactic to destroy the will to resist the troops of one country after another.

"Unfortunately, the distance between the main forces of the two armies is too close." Zhi Yao said softly.

Zhikai, who was in the same car as Zhiyao, showed a thoughtful expression.

After thinking about it, Zhi Kai said: "Father, if the terrain is open, can we give way to the passage, and then drive the enemy to flee, and then the cavalry will chase after them?"

Yeah, that's what light cavalry is for.

Use light cavalry to charge?Only fools do it unless it is absolutely necessary.

Sun Wu, who was standing on the side of the chariot, said: "The Chu army has sent reinforcements."

There were troops from the camp of the Chu army, most of them were horse-drawn chariots, and the number of infantry was about [-] to [-].

Zhiyao picked up the binoculars to watch, and said: "Horseback and armor."

Telescopes have been popularized above the level of pawns, but the lower the level, the more rough the production.At the same time, scouts and scouts are also equipped.Just for this point, the advantage gained by the original army against the enemy is really not only 01:30.

Sun Wu said: "So, the Chu army's northward march was not a whim."

In the state of Chu, most of the chariot pullers were oxen, and no matter whether they were horses or oxen, they had never worn armor before.

Before Zhishi turned his family into a country, Zhiyao repeatedly used cavalry to target chariots. Several cavalry shot chariot soldiers from different directions. The chariot will only be driven aimlessly by the cattle, and the unlucky ones must be the infantry following the chariot.

The original army had [-] cavalry to buy time, and the rest of the troops had time to prepare for battle.

After Zhiyao received that the standing army was all on standby, she ordered: "The new Chu army is the enemy."

Orders will naturally be notified.

After about a hundred breaths, the [-] standing army left the brigade under the command of Zhi Xuwu, and it was clear that the battle was to rush to the new batch of Chu troops who had left the camp.

The physical strength of the standing army does not seem to be affected by the rush?
As a matter of fact, the standing army is often armed cross-country on weekdays, carrying fifty catties and driving thirty miles, and then immediately goes into battle. Those who can't do it have long been eliminated from the standing army.

Being able to do it and whether to march in full armor are two different things. If you can save energy as much as possible, why do you have to play special?

On Chu Jun's side.

The new king of the Chu army, who had just ascended to the throne this year, saw a group of troops on his side being trapped by the cavalry of the original country and kept shooting. The screen, so that the frequency of blinking becomes very abnormal.

"???"

"!!!"
