Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

As soon as Sun Wu's words fell, Wu Zixu, who was standing on the side, followed suit and said, "Your Majesty, if you fight head-on with the Jin army in the wilderness, if you want to win, you must make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."

"Using our own strengths, we can overcome the enemy's weaknesses. Our Wu army is the strongest with infantry, and we are the most brave in the world. No other country can compete with it."

"Therefore, the king should vigorously train the spearmen who hit the infantry."

"In the first round of charge, the spirit of the Jin chariots can be defeated, and then strangled in battle, so that the Jin chariots can be restrained, so that our army can remain invincible in the wilderness."

Wu Zixu's words made the generals behind Xiong Zidan, Heifu, Xu Menchao and other Wu army all nod slightly in agreement.

Spearmen were the most effective armies in ancient warfare.

The main weapon of the spearmen is a spear made of solid and durable wooden pillars. The tip of the spear is very sharp, which is very effective against cavalry and chariots that win with the impact of speed.

Wu Jun's spearmen hold long and inflexible spears. Once they leave the queue, they will be useless and will become isolated and helpless.

Like the archer, the pikeman began technical training from an early age, the purpose of which was to make him a skilled and competent soldier in the phalanx.

Wu's spear phalanx is basically a combat system based on offensive weapons, and it also has all the defensive capabilities of spear infantry.

When it advances, it sees a large number of spears attacking the opponent's team in an overwhelming force. Its power and speed were rare among infantry at that time.

The brave and nimble unarmored Wu soldiers always advanced in neat formation, only slightly slower than the armored and therefore too cumbersome hoplites they often fought.

This is the result of the rigorous training Wu Jun soldiers received.

Even on flat terrain, in order to maintain a neat formation when the dense team advances at high speed, repeated drills must be carried out.

Wu's army practiced, marched, and even launched an attack in accordance with the rhythm of the sound of war drums...

In the perennial battles with the Chu army and the Yue army, the spearmen of the Wu army played a great role, and even restrained the chariots to a certain extent.

However, such restraint is minimal!

The phalanx of Wu Jun's spearmen can indeed defeat the enemy's chariots in the first charge and make them return home...

But the offensive in the second and third rounds is hard to say.

The battle opportunity was fleeting, and if the Wu army could not seize the opportunity in time, and rushed down to wait for the spearmen phalanx, it would be the result of being smashed into pieces by the enemy's chariots.

Moreover, in the face of powerful chariots, the phalanx of spearmen can play little role.

It is completely filled with human life!
Once there is a spearman in the phalanx whose psychological endurance is not enough, it will cause the consequence of "a dike of a thousand miles, collapsed in an ant's nest", and the soldiers of the entire phalanx will be defeated.

Fortunately, this happens very rarely, almost never.

Because behind the Wu army phalanx, there are soldiers of the supervising team, always ready to kill deserters, and then go up by themselves.

In ancient wars, chariots, archers, infantry, cavalry, and robotic vehicles, these five arms actually had a mutual restraint relationship.

Archers have long-range strike capabilities, high agility, and are good at restraining cavalry and robotic vehicles.

Infantry have excellent defensive capabilities and are good at restraining archers and cavalry.

Cavalry has high agility, the largest movement distance, and is good at restraining robots and chariots.

Chariots have outstanding physical strength, great damage when charging, and are good at restraining infantry and archers.

Robot vehicles have long-range strike capabilities, outstanding attacks, and good at restraining infantry and tanks.

Therefore, when the cavalry could not be moved out to restrain the chariot for a while, Qingji might choose to build a robot car that was better than the chariot.

In the final analysis, the robot car is also a kind of chariot, but it is sharper and more powerful than the chariot.

"There is another way to restrain the chariot..."

Sun Wu said slowly: "Your Majesty, if my Wu's chariots are better than the enemy's chariots, why can't we win?"

"This is easier said than done?"

Qingji fell into deep thought.

If you have to modify the chariot to make it a more aggressive robot car.

This has to consider the issue of cost and various technical issues.

Qingji is a time traveler, he knows a lot of military knowledge, but he is not a science student, how can he know the unpopular knowledge in the history of ancient warfare?
He really wants to build tanks and armored vehicles, and this condition must be met!
Otherwise, it's all useless!
In vain!

Could it be that Wu Guo has to take the lives of the spearmen to pay for it?

This is not enough to praise.

However, Wu Zixu was right.

Using one's own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses is the key to victory in the art of war.

Qingji's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

No, to be precise, it may have been premeditated...

"Second and third sons, I am planning to form a new army in our country of Wu, which is like a powerful army in the world."

Hearing this, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and other generals who were present couldn't help being dumbfounded and very surprised.

You must know that the Wu Kingdom has three elites that are brave and crowned the world, namely the Siege Camp, the Yulin Army, and the Huben Army. The scale is not large, with a total of 800 people.

Although there are not many people, all of them can fight one against ten, or even one against a hundred. They are very brave and good at fighting.

Especially the Yulin Army and the Huben Army, which belonged to the Wu Wang's personal army, were equivalent to the old guards, and were real professional soldiers.

They don't do production, they only need to train, and the treatment they enjoy is the most generous among all the soldiers in Wu.

"Your Majesty, do you know the structure of this new army?"

Sun Wu asked suspiciously.

"Three million people."

"hiss!"

Hearing this, all the Wu generals couldn't help but gasp and were shocked.

Thirty thousand elite soldiers?

This is not something you can afford casually!

Although the state of Wu is now the richest country in the world, its national strength is at its peak, and there is no shortage of money and resources. It is especially sharp in terms of military leather, rich in weapons and armor, and military supplies.

However, how can a strong team of 3 people be easily built?
"The new army of 3 people is called 'Military Soldiers', and they are selected by speed."

"Soldiers must be able to put on triple armor (three layers of protective clothing inside and outside or another name for heavy armor), hold a long halberd in hand, a sharp iron sword hanging from their waist, a large oar with a rhinoceros face on their back, fifty crossbow arrows and a strong crossbow, and at the same time Soldiers who can carry rations for three days and can march a hundred li in half a day can become soldiers!"

"..."

Hearing this, all the generals couldn't help but looked at each other.

This is indeed a powerful team in the world!
Even the selection criteria are so harsh, how can it be called a strong team?
