I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 77 Fierce Battle at Chencang Front
Sima Yi could only consider dividing his troops to the north bank after the logistics and dispatching were all coordinated and Chang'an's troops successfully advanced to the Meixian area.

The Han army had constraints when dividing its troops, and Sima Yi also had them.

Commanding a large-scale legion is a very high threshold.

The reason why famous generals are famous generals is not only to see the tactical operations on the front line, but also to consider the overall resource investment ratio.

The Han army divided its forces and headed north, which was risky.

There are also risks when the Wei army divides its troops and goes north.

But both sides have nothing to do, and the battle has become what it is now.

In other words, everything never goes as one wishes.

People can only allocate resources through possible changes in the situation.

In the scheduling process, there is never an optimal solution.

We can only hold on, whoever fails to hold on first will be finished.

The winner takes all.

The early spring in the northwest was still dry and the visibility was high, so Li Heng could see the outline of the Wei army.

Li Heng soon discovered that the battle line was stretched horizontally, and he did not know how far it was.

The Wei army obviously wanted to extend the attack line and force the Han army to do the same, weakening the Han army's defense depth.

There is only one reason for Wei Jun to do this: he has a military advantage!
In the past two months, Sima Yi most likely increased his troops from Chang'an, and it is also possible that Cao Rui left some troops in Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, Li Heng not only was not worried, but became excited.

Wei's military deployment has already formed a balance. If Cao Rui sends more troops to Guanzhong, it means that the current situation has begun to put great strategic pressure on Wei, causing Cao Rui to have to invest some more troops.

As for how much it has increased, it is not yet known.

Li Heng's plan was to have Cao Rui deploy 30 troops to Guanzhong.

It's just getting started.

Only if the Wei State really invests this number in Guanzhong, it will have a huge impact on the internal affairs of the Wei State.

Wei Wei's policy slowly took the first step.

But thinking of this, Li Heng's palms couldn't help but break into cold sweat.

This first step has just begun, and now the main force of the Wei army is coming again, and it is coming in a hurry.

There were several more bloody battles.

It seems that many of the records in history were accumulated with the lives of countless people.

This process is painful.

The Wei army's middle legion was a combination of infantry and cavalry. The infantry was arranged in a square formation. Each square formation was aligned horizontally and vertically, as if it were drawn with a ruler.

But the square arrays are not arranged in rows with equal numbers, but are arranged in a huge cone shape.

The cone formation is one of the ten formations recorded in "Sun Bin's Art of War". It is a formation with extremely powerful attack power.

The conical formation does not mean that the soldiers at the front are exactly like a pointed cone, but are composed of square formations arranged in a cone shape.

The principle is to use the most elite troops to break through the enemy's defense line at a single point, causing a blow to the enemy's morale, and the military formation behind to expand the results.

So what's the difference between it and the previous one?
Along the way, different phalanxes quickly engage in fierce battles with the enemy. In this way, other phalanxes of our own may not be opponents, and the formation will be chaotic.

Even if the strongest branch breaks through the enemy, the other branches of our own side will be unable to expand the results.

Therefore, you can understand the cone formation as: use the most elite unit to quickly break the enemy's defense line, and then other units will follow to expand the results.

Xiahou Ba dared to use the cone formation, which shows that he has a trump card in his hand.

Xiahou Ba has cavalry, so it stands to reason that he should use cavalry to expand his victory.

Yesterday, Xiahou Ba failed to attack the Han army, so he temporarily lost the opportunity to fight with cavalry. Because the Han army camped overnight, it was now a battlefield for infantry.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that we have set up camp. In such a short time, it is almost impossible to set up camp.In order to prevent the Wei cavalry from attacking the camp, horse-repelling stakes were placed.

The Wei infantry at the front, wearing elite armor and holding shields and halberds, advanced steadily.

The rhythm of the war drums began to become denser, and the speed of the Wei army gradually became faster.

There were not many people. There was a square formation at the front, followed by two, then three, five...

According to the standards of the 21st century, each of the soldiers in the front square formation would be over 1.7 meters tall.

This height was considered elite in ancient armies.

After Zhao Kuangyin successively eliminated the southern countries, he adopted a strategy of strengthening the branches and strengthening the branches. One of them was to integrate the former local elites into the imperial guards of the capital.

Among them, the requirements of Gong Shengjun are above 1.7 meters.

In ancient times, those who fought in wars were not just muscles. Elite soldiers were basically made of fat-packed muscles.

If they were put on iron armor, they would be humanoid tanks.

This was the case with the Wei army's forwards at this time. They were all tall and strong, with sinister faces and murderous eyes.

He came forward in armor, his footsteps switching rhythmically on the ground, making the ground thump.

After blocking two waves of arrows from the Han army with shields and armor, he started to trot.

bang bang bang...

This elite vanguard began to rush towards the Han army's horse-rejecting stakes.

When the Han army's archers launched several more attacks and failed to stop the elite, the Han army's archers stopped shooting.

At this time, the Han army obviously planned to let the opponent get closer and strike more accurately.

The sound of war drums in the distance slowly stopped, leaving only the sound of countless footsteps, echoing around like the sound of ocean waves.

As the footsteps approached, the Han troops who were waiting behind the Juma Zhuang could even feel their ground trembling slightly.

There was a muffled sound, and the horse-rejecting stake in front trembled violently, and then made a thumping sound.

The heads of the halberds fell on the rope of Juma Zhuang one after another, and Wei Jun began to cut the rope with the sharp heads of the halberds.

This is the most common way to break the horse-rejection pile.

In history, the Jin Army used this simple method to break the Song Army's defense many times.

The soldiers in the vanguard of the Wei army roared and cut the rope with all their strength.

At this time, the Han army began to fire arrows with all their strength, and the dense arrows began to hit this side like a horizontal waterfall.

Many arrows hit the Wei army and were blocked by the armor.

Even if he was shot in the face, it was blocked by the iron mask.

Although the strong arrow impact had a certain impact on the Wei army, it failed to repel the Wei army.

As the rope snapped, Wei Jun roared loudly and pulled the horse back.

Wei Jun stepped forward and started pushing the horse-rejecting stake with his body.

Under this terrifying push from the Wei army, the Juma Zhuang defense line was torn apart, and the forward Wei army filed in.

The Han archers had already retreated to the rear. Both sides roared angrily, and a close fight began.

The vanguard of the Wei army was the most elite infantry.

The Han army has the Tiger Infantry. The Tiger Infantry is the strongest infantry in the Han army. It is a combination of crossbows and infantry and has extremely powerful field combat capabilities.

Wei Jun rushed over, waving his halberd.

Immediately there was the sound of iron tools colliding with each other.
