Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 422 For the wings of the country, such as Lin Zhisheng

Looking at the thousand soldiers of the Huben army led by Goujian, all of whom were pawns holding wooden swords in one hand and shields in the other, the generals standing beside Qingji couldn't help shaking their heads, not looking favorably on Goujian.

How can a single unit win in battle?
Qingji looked around for a week, saw the faces of the generals, and then smiled slightly: "Second and third sons, do you think that this battle is won by the Habayashi army or the Huben army?"

"Your Majesty, I think that the Habayashi Army led by General Meng Ben will surely win!"

Ting Weibo stood up first and expressed his point of view, saying: "The Habayashi Army and the Huben Army are both elite soldiers under the command of the King. The three elites of my Wu Kingdom should be equal in terms of strength."

"However, General Goujian sent all infantry this time, fearing that the Habayashi Army will die and injure a lot of arrows in the next few rounds. Isn't this an underestimation of the enemy?"

Hearing this, Qingji squinted his eyes, noncommittal.

"Your Majesty, what Ting Wei said is absolutely true."

"The Huben Army's units are too single. If placed in a complex terrain, it may be possible to fight and win. However, this is a battle in the wilderness. In a frontal battle, the chances of victory are really not high."

Many generals agreed with Bo Tong's point of view and expressed their opinions.

Queen Ji Pai, who was standing beside Qingji, heard that these generals looked down on Goujian so much, she couldn't help frowning slightly, secretly worried for Goujian.

She really hoped that Gou Jian would be reused by Qing Ji, and her true trust spared no effort to fuel the flames behind her back, enabling Gou Jian to be promoted quickly and become the youngest leading general in the history of Wu.

If Goujian lost to Meng Ben in this big military exercise, or with this "vulgar" method of warfare, I believe that Qingji might also look down on Goujian, and then despise Goujian and alienate him...

"Elder Sima, what do you think?"

Qingji set his eyes on Sun Wu with great interest.

Sun Wu glanced at the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army who were confronting each other on the school field. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, I think that the Huben Army led by General Gou Jian may not be invincible to the Habayashi Army."

"Why?"

"The scale of a thousand people is not big, but it is not small. General Goujian used a thousand people as his infantry, in fact, he put them to death and reborn!"

Sun Wu paused for a moment, then said in a slow voice: "Courage is the key to fighting. The martial arts performance in the school field is no better than the real battlefield. Everyone will not run away until they die!"

"That's why, I speculate that General Goujian may have seen his own advantages and the enemy's disadvantages, so he used this method of warfare."

Hearing this, Qingji hadn't spoken yet, and Bo Tong, who was standing aside, couldn't help but asked in surprise, "What's the disadvantage of General Meng Ben's Habayashi Army, Great Sima?"

Sun Wu pointed to the Habayashi Army on the school field, and said with a chuckle: "The Habayashi Army has a thousand soldiers, including chariot soldiers, crossbowmen, infantry, and shield soldiers. The disadvantage of the Royal Forest Army."

"If General Meng Ben's ability to adapt to the situation is not good enough, or if the Habayashi Army is unable to react to the attack of the Huben Army, and cannot look at each other from head to tail, then the Huben Army will take advantage of the loophole."

"That will be the time for the defeat of the Habayashi Army!"

Sun Wu's words are so eloquent that it is easy to be convinced.

However, how can the Huben Army with a single type of arms defeat the Habayashi Army with diverse types of arms on the frontal battlefield?

All the generals expressed suspicion for a while.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the sound of a dull and murderous war drum, the battle between a thousand soldiers of the Habayashi Army and a thousand soldiers of the Huben Army officially began.

"Shield array! Attack!"

Meng Ben waved the wooden sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

Following his order, the shield soldiers of the Habayashi Army quickly formed a formation and continued to advance towards the distant Huben Army phalanx.

People can't find any faults in Meng Ben's tactics.

On the other hand, look at the side of the Tiger Army.

Gou Jian had a red cloth belt tied on his head, with a ferocious expression on his face, he clenched the spear (without the tip) in his hands, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the king promised a reward of one thousand per person, and four stones for food and rice! Do you want it?"

"Think! Think!"

The soldiers of the Huben Army behind him echoed loudly.

Goujian said again: "There are three elites in my country of Wu, one is trapped in the camp, the other is the tiger and cardinal army, and the other is the Yulin army. Not to mention the field army."

"Among the Forbidden Army, the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army, who is the strongest?"

"The Tiger Army! The Tiger Army!"

"it is good!"

Gou Jian said loudly: "Today, we will defeat the Habayashi Army on the opposite side! Prove to the king, and prove to the world, that our Huben Army is the strongest forbidden army in the Wu Kingdom, and we will live up to the name of 'Hu Ben'!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

After Goujian's mobilization, the [-] Huben Army soldiers present became even more motivated to fight!

What is "Hu Ben"?
Huben is a "warrior"!
Ben rushes together, and the tiger and the ben take righteousness and run like a tiger to chase beasts, as brave and powerful as a tiger.

They are full-time personnel who guard the palace and protect the monarch.

The Huben army usually guards the king's office, and the king follows him when he travels.

At that time, Qingji felt that there were many orphans of martyrs in Wu State, so he took the orphans in the army and the descendants of the generals to form an army, named Huben Army, and appointed Huben Zhonglang as the military commander.

The Huben Army is not controlled by anyone, and is only under the sole command of the King of Wu!
The Habayashi Army is similar to the Huben Army. They both belong to the elite forbidden army of Wu Kingdom. As Wu Wang Qingji's guard and guard of honor, their status is higher than other troops. The soldiers are all professional soldiers and noble soldiers.

The Habayashi Army takes its meaning of "serving the country's wings, like the prosperity of the forest".

It is worth mentioning that the soldiers in the Habayashi Army are basically the children of nobles...

Either they are the descendants of the old aristocratic family of the state of Wu, or they are the relatives and grandchildren of various ministers or local officials.

These aristocratic children are not like the so-called children of aristocratic families in later generations who have no power to restrain chickens, or who can only walk dogs and fight cocks.

They have received a good education since they were young, and they have learned the six arts of a gentleman. They can be said to be rare "cultural people" in the army.

And their fighting power is equally strong.

The reason why Qingji formed this army back then was only to give the descendants of the old aristocratic families of Wu the opportunity to make contributions, so as to ease the originally tense relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

Furthermore, Qingji's deeper intention is to control all the noble officials in the country by controlling these noble officers and soldiers trained by himself...

There are three elites in Wu State, one is the trapped camp, the other is the Habayashi Army, and the other is the Huben Army.

The trapped camp has [-] men, and the Habayashi Army and the Huben Army each have [-] men, and they will be brought with them every time Qingji goes out.

Therefore, there are many opportunities for these three elites to make contributions, but also great dangers.

The three elite divisions have all made countless contributions in the previous wars of Wu's external expansion.

It's really hard to say which one is stronger and which one is weaker!
