Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 148 Deathmatch
"Sanlang!" Cui Hongdu glanced at Wang Wenzuo, and said cautiously, "I heard that the current king of Silla is the son-in-law of Jin Yuxin, so it seems that Jin Renwen might not be able to defeat him—" Having said that, he He hesitated to speak, obviously worried about Wang Wenzuo's close relationship with Jin Renwen these days.

"You don't have to worry about this!" Wang Wenzuo poured half a glass of wine into his glass, and filled it up for He Ba and Cui: "Jin Yuxin's age is about three or five years, unless he is dying. If we can get rid of Jin Renwen and get rid of future troubles for our son-in-law, otherwise there is nothing to be afraid of!"

On the evening of the second day after Jin Yuxin's arrival, the last Silla army crossed the river. Wang Wenzuo stood on the hill, staring at the smoke column rising from the point of crossing the river in the distance behind him, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The feeling of the spear point pressing against the vest was finally gone.

According to Cui Hongdu's memories many years later, everything went smoothly in the few days after crossing the river. Although there were often traces of Goguryeo horsemen on both sides of the ranks, their number and frequency were not many. Yu shot a wild goat that he encountered by chance as a side dish for dinner, which brought a touch of light to the gloomy and tense march.

"If everything goes well, we will reach the land of the Silla people before dark tomorrow!" Cui Hongdu said with a smile: "We will be safe when we get there!"

"That's right, Saburo will be the one who broke through!" He Bayong clasped his fists together: "Little brother, let's congratulate first!"

"It's too early to say that!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand: "I don't know if I can go back alive!"

A series of shrill horns from a distance interrupted the conversation. Wang Wenzuo threw half a sheep bone in his hand into the fire, and stood up: "The Goguryeo people are here, pass down the order, and each team puts on armor!"

The handle of the knife collided with the nail leaves, making a rhythmic sound. Wang Wenzuo tightened his belt, took the horn bow from Sancho's hand, and ran his fingertips across the somewhat hot bow (the horn bow will be too hard in cold weather, so it is difficult to wind the bow). It must be baked with fire first), he stepped on the stirrup with his left foot, and was about to mount the horse, when he suddenly heard a rush of hooves behind him.

"Lieutenant Wang, the general invites you!"

Wang Wenzuo pulled his left foot out of the stirrup, turned around, and saw a white-robed Hwarang on horseback, trying to control the kicking mount. Three golden arrows were embroidered on his cape. Wang Wenzuo Knowing that this is the logo of the messenger of the Silla Army coach.

"General? Which general?"

"Of course it's General Jin Yuxin!" Nahwarang replied decisively: "An order from the army, Captain Wang, don't delay!"

Wang Wenzuo didn't like the messenger's tone, but he knew it was not time to argue, so he nodded, mounted his horse and followed the messenger.

"The last general has seen General Jin!" Wang Wenzuo jumped off his horse and bowed to Jin Yuxin. The thin torso of the old man in front of him was wrapped in a white cloak, which gave him a very bad association.
"The envoy of the Shangguo army has arrived!" Jin Yuxin nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "The view here is wide, and you can see the battle at a glance. When you go back, please tell General Su the scene of me, Silla Jianer killing the thief!"

"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo responded, and was about to step aside when Jin Yu said, "Lieutenant Wang, come to the right of this old man!"

"Old man!" Wang Wenzuo cursed inwardly, he could feel the gazes of Silla generals from all directions, like a light on his back.From ancient times to the present, the distance from the core of power often means the level of status. A mere school lieutenant led less than a thousand soldiers, but he was dragged to Jin Yuxin's side abruptly, which was like being roasted on fire.

"Lieutenant Wang, it should be the first time for you to stand in this position!" Jin Yuxin didn't seem to feel Wang Wenzuo's embarrassment at all, he was like a hospitable host, introducing his home to the guests: "If the old man's guess is right , do you see that hill? That is the key to today's victory, whoever can occupy this place first will have a seven-point chance of winning!"

Without Jin Yuxin's instruction, Wang Wenzuo recognized the hillock at a glance. Its radius was only a hundred steps, and its top was only 30 meters higher than the surrounding area. In the center, whoever occupies this place will be able to overlook the entire battlefield, condescending, and seize the opportunity.More importantly, due to the existence of this hill, once the battle is intense, the fronts of both sides will inevitably advance and retreat, seesawing repeatedly, and the side controlling the hill will gain a strong fulcrum, which gives the controlling side It adds a lot of weight to the balance of victory and defeat, and in many cases the victory or defeat is within a few centimetres.

As Jin Yuxin's orders were sent out like flowing water, the Silla army began to move slowly like a waking monster.Wang Wenzuo carefully observed the surroundings, secretly measuring the combat effectiveness of this friendly army: Generally speaking, the Silla army is a relatively "poor" army, and the proportion of "technical arms" such as cavalry and crossbowmen is far lower than that of The Tang army is not as good as the Goguryeo people, and the armored rate of the infantry is not high, and judging from the messy patterns on the banners of each detachment, the Silla army should be divided according to the tribes, not the registered households. Those patterns are the totems of the tribe.However, the cavalry of the Silla people has distinctive armor, and the soldiers are full of horses, which should be what they call "Hwarang".

Compared with the Silla people, the Goguryeo people's army is much more "rich". They have all kinds of arms, cavalry, bows and crossbows. Even if they are separated by a few arrows, Wang Wenzuo can see the pieces shining in the sun. He believed that quite a few of them were spoils of war that the Goguryeo people had obtained from the Sui army. Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, and the abandoned armored battlements were countless and piled up like a mountain.Thinking of this, Wang Wenzuo felt a little itchy in the root of his teeth.

As Jin Yuxin expected, the battle started around the fight for the hill. It was difficult to determine which side was the attacker and which side was the defender. The two sides arrived at the top of the hill almost at the same time. Shaking each other, the arrows shot through the flesh and bones, and the bones shattered the bones. The blood scattered on the ground, and was immediately trampled into mud by countless feet.

Jin Yuxin sat quietly on the horse, motionless. His torso wrapped in a white cloak was like a dead tree surrounded by Hwarangs. Wang Wenzuo looked at the old man's back curiously. But his heart was beating wildly involuntarily, and Jin Yuxin just didn't say a word, watching hundreds of thousands of people die not far away.

Suddenly, Jin Yuxin raised his right arm, and the sound of the horn sounded. Wang Wenzuo saw that the front line of the Silla people began to move forward. The endless long horizontal line, with spears pointing diagonally upwards, stretched across the entire battlefield like a dense forest of steel.The sun shone on the tip of the gun, and the reflected light made Wang Wenzuo blink subconsciously. For a moment, he had the illusion that those were not people, but countless fireflies—fireflies pounced on the flame.

　In the discussion area at noon, I saw a book friend mentioning technology crushing and technological advantages.Weber would like to make a point that the spread of military technology is extremely astonishing. The American Indians originally had no horses, but within two generations of being conquered by the Spaniards, they have become extremely good at riding. Spanish settlements were often plundered by horse Indian tribes.The Manchu Qing navy was not worth mentioning before 1840, but in 1885 it created a steam armored battle fleet, during which there were two Opium Wars, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and other wars, and so did New China.Therefore, the quality advantage brought by military technology is difficult to maintain for too long. Most of the time in human history, the quantitative advantage brought by size is more powerful.The elite with one enemy against one hundred will be overwhelmed by the gray cattle sooner or later.The Great Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were able to open up the territory because you killed 5 people, and tomorrow I will send 50. My household registration will be halved, and you have already destroyed the country and your species.A nation that is afraid of death, suffering, and sacrifice will never win. In a sense, war is actually a contest of wills.How can the Afghans defeat the Americans if only in terms of material strength?
