Chapter 428: What is Quan Te a New Tactic
As a commander, there is nothing to be surprised about if he doesn't pay attention to "losing" a soldier under his command for a while.
Not to mention the era of cold weapons without instant communication equipment, even in the era of modern warfare where everyone has a mobile communication equipment, there will still be situations where there is no contact for a short period of time, but want to contact again but find that it cannot be contacted.
The profession of commanders has always been difficult to be a good job. You need to be able to take care of what you can see, and you must pre-envision what will happen to the part that you cannot see, and then issue instructions that meet the actual conditions based on real-time trends.
A good general must also determine in advance which unit should be the most concerned, and which units can be thrown out and let themselves die.
To put it bluntly, war is about pursuing victory, and taking the prerequisite for victory, and then considering casualties and other things.
Many times, even though you know that you have to pay a very heavy price, you still have to make a profit after winning, and you still have to fill in how many lives you should fill in.
So, there is a truth that is cruel, but it is a truth that the commander must understand.
In other words, a qualified or even excellent general cannot have too many feelings. The soldiers under the command chain need to be regarded as numbers, not as living lives.
If the commander is prone to emotional fluctuations and is too concerned about this and that, it will not leave time to think in the changing battlefield at all times. The commander is too indecisive and will surely ruin more lives, and will make the country lose the victory of that war, which will in turn cause the country to suffer greater losses.
Of course, from the standpoint of being regarded as a digital soldier, I won’t take it for granted, and I will definitely not accept it.
The two sides of macro (global) and micro (local) have different heights and perspectives of thinking, and they have always been inseparable from differences and contradictions.
To put it bluntly, everyone hopes to take their own demands as the primary starting point, and the pursuits are different.
For example, the current confrontation between the Qin army and the Jin army.
From Hou Zizhen's standpoint, I knew that there would inevitably be major casualties, and I hope that I could withstand it.
The Qin soldiers became a bargaining chip or chess piece, bearing the hope of Houzi Needle, and their lives were overwhelmed by the burden of death.
They are actually applying for taxes, hoping to make achievements in exchange for a better life, and they definitely don’t want to fall on the battlefield a corpse that is gradually becoming cold.
The Qin nobles who brought elite soldiers would like to see their family's private soldiers standing on the front line and carrying the Jin army's storm-like offensive? They definitely didn't want to.
A relationship between superiors and subordinates, and because of the suppression of authority, the intention of the subordinate individuals is not as action, will be the superior individuals who dominate everything.
So how can we make the superiors and subordinates form a consensus? It is nothing more than finding the same demands or pursuing common interests.
Hou Zizhen asked Qin soldiers to sacrifice to achieve the result they pursued, and waited for Qin troops in other areas to come or achieve their goals.
Lu Wu also needed Jin soldiers to sacrifice, but what he pursued was to achieve common victory.
At this point, Hou Zizhen, like Lu Wu's pursuit, used different motivational methods.
In terms of pursuit of interests, Lu Wu added the item of avenging himself for personal revenge.
This "private hatred" was not something that Lu Wu belonged alone.
He is the head of the Yin family, and Qiu Hui is the Qiu of all members of the Yin family. He successfully made the Yin soldiers hate the Qin army, and then combined interests and exploded with two-pronged approaches to a greater force than usual.
He was also the commander of this Jin army and one of the eight "nobles" of Jin State. The Qin people's assassination did not provoke the Yin family alone, but undoubtedly in fact challenged the bottom line of the entire Jin State.
So, Hou Zizhen's assassination became a profit of money, and failure made an assist against Lu Wu, which was also an equivalent exchange.
On the front battlefield, the Jin army, with a "department" of the Yin family as the main force, continued to advance.
At the beginning, the chariots were allowed to be played, and as they fought, they gave way to the infantry, and they also had a strong presence as the archers in the back row.
The Jin army and the Qin soldiers were not the kind of melee of "you have me, I have you". The two sides actually formed an array line.
The soldiers of the Jin army and the Qin army stood on their own array lines, holding weapons in their hands and poked, hooked, and pecked, causing the sound of metal clashing on the battlefield to collide and the sound of wooden poles colliding.
Qin soldiers used a spear, that is, hook or peck to generate maximum lethality. At most, poke or stab will play the role of "push" or "pestle".
The Yin soldiers used a spear, which means that in addition to the parts of the "Ge", there are also parts of the "spear" at the front.
What is a "spear"? It is not a short sharp object. Only a short sharp object is called a "gun head". A "spear" is a sharp object with a length of about 25 centimeters.
This weapon can stab, hook and peck, but only has one more stab function, which brings far better effects than Ge.
Although only a spear is added to the Ge, the process actually needs to be improved and improved.
Simply put, the layout of various parts at the beginning of the design of an item has been formed. If you want to add new parts, you must be modified. It is not that you tie the spear to the front end of the wooden pole, and it must be firm enough to fit the part of the spear, and it is inevitably necessary to improve it.
The current Qin army soldiers have been troubled and frightened by the former Jin army soldiers.
The Qin soldiers had never seen a spear that could be stabbed. They were guarding against the hook and pecking of the soldiers of the Jin army, but the tip of the spear suddenly stabbed into the chest.
Why do the soldiers of the Jin army have encountered such troubles and fears?
The main reason is that some elite soldiers on the Chu army used weapons like "halberd", which also had the killing effect of stabbing.
The State of Chu usually had "king soldiers" equipped with "halberds".
"Halberd" and "Spear" are two types of weapons.
The halberd is a combination of spears and spears. It has both a straight blade and a horizontal blade, which is in the shape of a "Shen" or "Bu". Therefore, the halberd has various uses such as hook, peck, thorn, and cutting, and its killing ability is better than that of spears and spears.
Therefore, the Chu army's halberd is not the type with "crescent moon" on one side or both sides. In fact, this style of halberd only appears in games or Romance works.
The stick of the universe gave a very high name to the weapon in the shape of "Sen" or "Bu".
The Yin family's "department" was a melee soldiers fighting against Qin soldiers in front, and a crossbowman kept shooting archery in stages in the rear.
There is nothing strange about this kind of fighting style, but you must have enough confidence in the first "Cheng" melee troops. If the front line cannot be maintained and the long-range troops are placed behind, the front line will collapse and the collapse of the entire line will be faced.
Of course, Lu Wu had confidence in his troops and adopted a relatively risky layout, that is, letting long-range troops advance together again and again.
There were no long-range troops on the Qin army repeatedly shooting arrows, and the melee troops were arranged on the entire line.
The reason is nothing more than that Hou Zizhen has no confidence to withstand the advancement of the Jin army, so he dares not arrange any archers in front of the front line.
"The deque family, Luan's 'puppet', and the Yin family who used Han's tactics were even more like a tiger's wings." Zhong Xingyan was so emotional.
Zhishuo's attention was all on the Yin family's cavalry, and he saw almost the whole process how the Qin cavalry was eaten.
The Luan family and the Que family were divided up, and each family gained more or less a part of the population.
The Xun family and Zhongxing family are large enough, and the family structure is basically fixed. The population of the Luan family and the Que family is not absorbed into part of the private army.
The Zhi family, Han family, Fan family, Wei family, etc., etc., took the Zhongxingyan treatment and turned the population of the Que family and Luan family into labor force.
"Why is the Yin family's horse different from other families?" Zhishuo was thinking about this.
They can only see that the situation is their own advantage, but they have not been assigned to command local wars, so they have free time to think and observe.
The reason why Lu Wu did not assign tasks to Zhongxing Yan and Zhishuo was not complicated.
Zhong Xingyan was a general of the army. It was one thing to ask for tasks himself, but it was assigned to another thing.
Zhishuo is Zhihuo's precious son. No one dares to guarantee his safety when he goes to the battlefield. It is a good thing to make contributions. If he dies, he will definitely be the blame for Lu Wu.
Lu Wu Adhering to the fact that the two of them did not take the initiative to request and would never assign tasks. They even had to take care of them at all times when they performed tasks, so as not to become enemies if they could not become friends.
Therefore, studying with the prince has always been the most annoying thing. If you do it well, you will have no credit. If something happens, you will be hit by the sky and hit your head.
"The Qin army is defeated!" Zhong Xingyan was a little excited.
Zhishuo turned his gaze and saw that the Qin army array line at the front was broken into several pieces, causing a considerable number of Qin soldiers to be trapped in the division of Yin soldiers. The Qin soldiers behind were squeezed by their defeated comrades, and were immediately forced to come up by another part of Jin soldiers who were advancing.
"What did my uncle say just now?" Zhishuo couldn't remember clearly, but he only vaguely remembered that what Zhongxingyan was talking about was the combination of the Yin family, the Que family and the Han family's tactics, and created new tricks.
As if you are annotating Zhong Xingyan's words, the development of the battle situation is undergoing new changes.
There was probably a "brigade" Yin soldiers no longer fought positional wars. They slapped the Qin army in a certain area like waves, and retreated after waves, while the rear waves continued to sweep up.
Another "brigade" soldier of the Yin family stared at the Qin army in another area. He stuck to it and squeezed forward and then squeezed without hesitation. The crossbowman behind stared at the Qin soldiers squeezing into a group of them and shot again and again.
The result was that the Qin army's first "Che" collapsed, which led to the second "Che" not having time to make any preparations. He was impacted by the robes and was hit by the Jin army in a series of attacks, and there was an instant collapse.
The one who Lu Wu paid the most attention to was the confrontation between the two armies in the shallows of the riverbed.
In his opinion, as long as the riverbed and shallows can be kept, the front battlefield will undoubtedly be waiting for another Yin "teacher" who has not moved to harvest the fruits of victory.
What we are now seeing is whether Hou Zizhen can cut off his arm, abandon the part of the Qin army that was "bitten", withdraw the retreated troops back to the battalion, or transfer them to support the local battlefield of the riverbed and shallows.
