Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 53
Sun Jian ordered to open the east gate of Chencang, and sent his soldiers out of the city to fight with Xiang Yu against Han Sui's rebels. Although Sun Jian's current physical condition did not allow him to fight the enemy himself, he still stood on the city wall and watched the outside of the city very seriously. battle situation.

With the assistance of Sun Jianjun, the pressure on Xiang Yu's flanks against the enemy has been reduced a lot, so that he can focus on the enemy in front of him with more confidence, and continue to resolutely and swiftly attack the rear of the enemy's formation. Go, this is also Xiang Yu's favorite combat method, that is to lead the most elite troops around him. It doesn't need to be too many, but it must be enough elite, and ride horses and Xiang Yu into the depths of the enemy's formation. There is no doubt that this tactic is extremely dangerous.

Ordinary military generals simply don't have the guts, let alone the strength, to use this kind of tactics. Most of the time, the so-called taking the head of an enemy general out of thousands of troops is just a bragging statement by these generals. Some people may indeed have some strength, or they may really be able to kill the enemy in a certain local war, win more with less, and directly defeat the enemy, but such cases are actually very rare. Appearing once may be enough for this general to boast for a long time, and then he was hailed as a tiger general at that time and even later generations.

But for Xiang Yu, such a tactic is indeed a routine operation. Regardless of whether his troops are superior or inferior, and regardless of whether the overall battle situation is beneficial or unfavorable to Xiang Yu, he directly leads the elite cavalry into the depths of the enemy camp. To decapitate the core part of the enemy or cause a huge blow, these are all easy things for Xiang Yu.

Of course, there must be dangers in doing so. Swords and swords are ruthless. If you often walk by the river, there is no one who does not wet your shoes. Insight can almost always help him save himself from danger. He always seeks the greatest combat benefits in the most dangerous way. If he really wants to hide behind the soldiers and watch these soldiers help him complete everything, it will definitely make Xiang Yu feel extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, Xiang Yu led his army directly into the depths of the enemy's formation, and there were probably less than fifty elite cavalry behind him, but the number of enemy troops around was increasing. After being beaten by Xiang Yu, he was beaten to the point of losing his mind. Watching Xiang Yu charge in his army was like seeing a living king of Hades. No one wants to be the next person whose life is cut off by him. Therefore, despite the large number of people, not many people are really willing to take the lead in facing Xiang Yu's charge.

It's just that under the strict constraints of the entire army formation, forced to be coerced by other comrades-in-arms around and behind him, as well as the generals who commanded the battle, they can only move forward but not retreat. On the ancient battlefield, there must be extremely strict military discipline Setting and execution, the lack of any one will greatly reduce the actual combat ability of soldiers.

Because soldiers are all living individuals, they all hope to survive, everyone is afraid of being injured, afraid of death, this is a human instinct, it is completely unavoidable, and the motivation that can keep them going forward bravely is sometimes in all aspects Yes, it is necessary to have a goal that can be achieved by making them work hard, such as establishing military merits, and then being commended, or even breaking the soil because of this, even if they can't do this, at least they can make a living. He even got some military pay so that he could have some security in his future life.

At the same time, it also requires extremely strict management. The supervisory team is a common system on the battlefield. They will strictly supervise the soldiers on the battlefield. If the soldiers are unwilling to advance, unwilling to attack, and want to retreat or even escape In some cases, the supervising team will use force to subdue these soldiers or directly kill these soldiers, so as to deter other soldiers and prevent them from retreating and escaping easily.

Of course, although the role of the supervising team is still obvious, it is only when the battlefield situation is relatively controllable, and once the situation on the entire battlefield is defeated on a large scale, then the supervising team is useless at all.

In many cases, the reason why Xiang Yu was able to defeat many enemy troops with a small force was that Xiang Yu knew how to find the enemy's key points and weak positions on the battlefield, just like hitting a snake to hit seven inches. Because the soldiers on the battlefield are very close to each other, the field of vision is very limited, and all they can see are the people around them, and there is no way to have a complete understanding of the situation of other friendly troops on the entire battlefield.

Xiang Yu is good at concentrating the most elite troops, leading by himself and directly killing a certain part of the enemy's army formation. At this time, once this part of the soldiers is defeated, it may spread to other surrounding army formations. Especially when the military discipline of this army is not good enough, and the training and management are not in place, a completely defeated army will spread in all directions around it, spreading panic like an infectious disease.

Sometimes it may even be like nuclear fission, gradually spreading from a small unit to the entire army, causing unimaginable impact.

At the beginning, Xiang Yu broke the boat with 40 troops and defeated Zhang Han and Wang Li's 56 troops in the Battle of Julu. Later, in the Battle of Pengcheng, he used [-] troops to kill Liu Bang, who had a coalition army of [-] troops. Abandoning a daughter is so miserable. These battle examples also fully demonstrate that the actual combat effect of Xiang Yu's tactics is very good.

Of course, if the overall military discipline and on-site command ability of the enemy army are good enough, they will definitely be able to resist Xiang Yu's tactics to a large extent, but this question is like asking whether the spear is sharper or the shield is stronger. , still have to analyze specific issues in detail. When Xiang Yu's sharp spear is sharp enough to a certain extent, no shield, no matter how strong in the world, can't resist it. The distance, but it is no longer what these rebels can resist now.

After Xiang Yu led his army to rush into the enemy's formation, he went all the way through and killed four or five generals who dared to confront him. It is said that these generals in the Three Kingdoms era were indeed very fierce. Seeing such a powerful character like Xiang Yu, they also I don't feel scared, maybe it's because I feel that I have a lot of people, and I won't be able to beat Xiang Yu, a guy who looks like a kid along the way.

But Xiang Yu taught them to be human one by one, and used their blood and lives to convey a very obvious signal to these rebel soldiers, that is, he is a god descending from the earth, and he is not something that ordinary people can match, so these soldiers were terrified. Dare to fight again, and even dropped their weapons one after another and began to get lost and flee.

Xiang Yu stood in the middle of the battlefield, and the surrounding enemies kept retreating, which gradually led to wave after wave of defeat.
