The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 762 The Battle Is Set ([-])

Yu Jin personally led the army, and the men and horses following Sun Huan started fighting. The battle was extremely fierce. For the Shu Han army, today's battle is first of all related to the safety of Gai Meng's cavalry team used for raids;

Secondly, it is also related to the future direction of the battle in Jiangxia County, whether it meets the expectations of the eldest son Liu Chan-Yu Jin and the others fought well here, and eliminated as many Jiangdong troops in front of them as possible, then the more in line with the eldest son Liu Chan Goals that want quick wins.

However, the army of more than 2000 people in Yu Jin's hands is really too small. In addition, Sun Huan's adaptability has always been very strong. The effect of the strategy of first holding back the attack of Yujin's army with a part of the force, and then defeating the enemy forcefully with a serious formation has gradually emerged.

It should be said that Yu Jin's men and horses had a strong assault ability at the beginning, but this breakthrough ability certainly did not last as long as the cavalry, and it was easier to be intercepted.Then, the expression on Sun Huan's slightly serious face immediately became indifferent, because his ultimate move was ready to be released.

Sun Huan had actually seen Yu Jin, and was even very surprised that Yu Jin would fight in person.

Because in his impression, since he went to Jingzhou to participate in the battle, there is almost no chance to see the main generals of the Shu Han army personally participating in the battle. More often, they are seen sitting at the back of the battlefield with a gun by their side. The reserve team can control the situation on the battlefield at any time.As a result, on today's battlefield, it is difficult to see that once the famous general came out, he could suppress the grand occasion of the audience.Of course, now even Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, the rumored enemy of ten thousand people, has become a famous general who stays behind rather than on the battlefield.

Sun Huan had such a feeling or idea in his heart, but in fact, it can only be said that he himself does not understand the current situation well enough.

A famous general, even a truly famous general like Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Ma Chao, who is the most powerful and can almost change the situation of the battle by one person, is the period before the Three Kingdoms era.

Judging from the situation at the time, the chaos in the world had just begun, and the princes untied their flags one after another, and various peasant armies also took advantage of the momentum.In such a chaotic situation, ordinary people see that the princes are attacking and killing each other, but a deeper view should be that in such an early stage, many of the armies formed by the princes of all parties were hastily launched by pulling strong men.It goes without saying that the army's organizational system is chaotic, and soldiers are drawn to the battlefield with almost no excellent training, so there is not much discipline and loyalty to speak of.

Therefore, when such an army faced a famous general, he led the army to rush to kill him. In addition, the general was beheaded with a knife, and the morale of the army immediately collapsed, and the soldiers who had no loyalty fled in all directions.Therefore, in such an era, it can be said that some famous generals who can be called "enemies of ten thousand people" can be said to have been achieved.

But in the later situation, with the deepening of the war, the United War has begun. After the armies of the princes of all parties have experienced long-term wars and blood baptism, both the lords and the generals have become very wary of war. have experience.They not only know how to train the most elite and loyal army, but also know how to command and control the soldiers of an army in the most effective situation.

In such a situation, Cao Cao's unification of the north can be used as the dividing point of time, and two departments, the Chinese Army and the Foreign Army, were gradually established.After Cao Pi came to power, he reintegrated Cao Cao's old troops, making the setup of the Chinese army and foreign army more complicated and rigorous.

The Chinese Army is mainly composed of Wuwei, Zhongling, Zhonghu, Zhongjian, and Zhongbai.The Wuwei Battalion in the Chinese army was in charge of the palace guards, and the other battalions were in charge of the rest of the capital outside the palace.In addition, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the five battalions of Tunqi, Infantry, Shesheng, Yueqi, and Changshui are still in the ranks of the Chinese army, but their strength is very limited.

It can be seen from this that the organizational system of the army at this time has tended to be complete and mature.It is no longer possible for some of these armies to be composed of mobs like in the early days of the Three Kingdoms, and they can be easily defeated with just a little strategy.

Therefore, in the face of such a new situation, even if a famous general is "enemy of thousands of people", he will eventually be dismembered by the enemy soldiers who swarm up and have a strong heart.It should be said that the war has developed to such an extent that brave generals can only be used to boost the morale of the army for a short time on the field, and it is no longer possible to change the situation of the battle solely by personal bravery.

In fact, this is enough to explain why a brave man like Zhou Tai will eventually be defeated, while Zhang Liao will be seriously injured in the battle and is still bedridden.Today's era is no longer the era of Zhou Tai and Zhang Liao, they are outdated.It is also inevitable to be swept into the dust of history by Liu Chan's army.

And Liu Chan, relying on his foresight, has already seen the great changes in the army of this era, so he issued a very strict order to the generals under his command when he was fighting in Nanyang County. Will command."The emergence of this military discipline should be said to conform to the trend of history.

Furthermore, it should be said that with the emergence of professional soldiers one after another, scribes who specialize in advising military commanders have gradually become out of date and will inevitably be replaced by more professional soldiers who join the army, or begin to use military The general served as the military adviser of the army.Because these "staff officers" who were born in the military have been working in the army for a long time, they are more familiar with the military situation than those scribes, and they are also more professional.

Here is indeed an example that has been almost forgotten.After Xia Houba rebelled from Cao Wei and surrendered to Shu Han, he entered Jiang Wei's command.But Xia Houba served as Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition army, not some kind of general, he served as Jiang Wei's military adviser.This is the best example of a professional soldier serving as a military adviser.

This is actually the reason why Liu Chan now uses more and more professional military generals to join the army at all levels.It's like Yu Jin's joining the army has completely gained Liu Chan's trust, and the military command power in front of the battle can always be fully authorized to Yu Jin for use.

As for Shi Guangyuan, although he served as the military adviser of the town army as a scribe, and now commands a huge army in the Shu Han army, it seems to be due to the transition period.As expected, Shi Guangyuan is limited by his personal temperament and hobbies, so he should gradually withdraw from the officialdom in the future. As for the army, he should be the same.
