In later generations, Lin Ze's strategy class had not yet been completed, but he learned more about war in actual combat.
There are fierce battles all over the world. Recently, Liu Biao is cooperating with Yuan Shao to deal with Sun Jian. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are preparing for the decisive battle. Ma Teng and Han Sui surrendered to Dong Zhuo and want to send troops to Shandong. That is Cao Cao's trouble.
There is no better time to attack Yuan Shu at this time.
Soldiers and horses from all walks of life have received Lin Ze's true message. They must not make a big fanfare when sending out troops, but must be silent and unobtrusive. Everywhere they go, they first send out scouts to check if there are any spies ahead.
It was night when the Eight Hundred Yi Cong arrived in Shouchun City. Lin Ze had planned their arrival time and was already waiting at the entrance of the village. Eight hundred people camped with the village as a barrier.
Xu Ziwu hadn't dismounted yet. When he saw Lin Ze, he stared and said, "Master, when are we going to fight? Or I can call the formation now and chop off Yuan Shu's head!"
Lin Ze was speechless for a while and said: "Do you know why I let you stay with me and not let you lead a main force? It's just that you have strong limbs and a simple mind. You can't read the military books your master taught you. We're here, come and see General Huang."
Huang Zhong had been following Lin Ze and wanted to see Lin Ze's troops. When he heard Lin Ze asking Xu Ziwu to pay him a visit, he spoke first and said, "This is the world-famous leader of the Eight Hundred Yi Cong, Xu Ziwu." Bar?"
Xu Ziwu heard his name from someone else for the first time and said, "General Huang knows about me?"
"That's natural. The Eight Hundred Yi Cong attacked like fire, weaving in and out among the 300,000 troops, forcing Yuan Shu to escape. The Eight Hundred Yi Cong's reputation in the world is no less than that of Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong!"
At this time, Xu Ziwu was very politically savvy and said: "Old General Huang is so ridiculous. It was all taught by my master."
Huang Zhong laughed heartily, went to see the 800 Yi Cong soldiers, looked at the horse teeth and horse hooves, and said: "Okay, they are all the best horses. My lord, what kind of horse is this horse? How do the hooves look like Made of iron?"
Xu Ziwu smiled and said: "Old General Huang, this is called a horseshoe. It is nailed with a piece of iron in the shape of a horse's shoe. This way the horse's hoof will not wear out and the horse can walk on flat ground in deep valleys and rivers."
Huang Zhong said in surprise: "It's really a genius idea, and there are stirrups on the horse's back, so it is easier to exert force in fighting right away. It's not like the cloth stirrups we use, which are uncomfortable."
Huang Zhong was shocked again when he saw the crossbows hanging on the soldiers. He thought that only Lin Ze had such a crossbow. Who would have thought that each of the soldiers had one, with steel crossbow frames and bowstrings made of such materials? He has never seen it in his life. How can a person pull an iron? But there is a device with eight wheels to separate the force. My lord is really a genius.
Look at these eight hundred men and horses. They arrived late at night and made no sound at all. Not even the horses made a sound. The Lord is a genius in military training.
Lin Ze issued an order to the eight hundred Yi Cong. Shouchun's troops were not allowed to see them coming for half a month.
That night, Lin Ze released all the goshawks. After training, these goshawks flew above the heads of each team. When they flew back, they would report the position of each team to Lin Ze through their calls.
In the future, he still needs to teach every team how to survive the eagle, but now it is too late.
The people in the villages outside Shouchun City were in great spirits. They had already known that Lin Ze, the Prince Consort, had come to attack Shouchun. They were the ones doing all the work of cutting grass, feeding horses, and burying pots for cooking.
One day the sun was shining brightly, the logistics troops arrived, and all the goshawks flew back. Lin Ze was in a great mood, and he had already completed the 30-day journey on the 15th. The morale of the soldiers was high.
All the goshawks landed near Lin Ze, and Ba Bai Yi was not afraid of any horse under his crotch. However, one horse suddenly frightened, and the soldier was thrown off the horse. If it were not for the help of his comrades, all the horses would have run away.
The soldier fell right in front of Lin Ze. Lin Ze's face suddenly turned cold and he said, "What's the matter with you?"
The soldier got up from the ground. After seeing Lin Ze, he said solemnly: "The horse was frightened by the eagle."
"Is the horse frightened? Let me tell you, what the horse sees is decided by the soldiers!" Lin Ze was furious and said: "Xu Ziwu, get over here!"
Xu Ziwu has already arrived, with an apologetic smile on his face and said: "Master, Master, don't get angry."
"The war is about to begin. How can there be such soldiers in the Eight Hundred Yi Cong? Let him go back quickly!"
"No, no, master, I can take him well."
Seeing Lin Ze turning around to leave, Xu Ziwu hurriedly grabbed Lin Ze's arm and said, "Have you forgotten that even soldiers like Jian Lan were brought out by the master?"
Hearing what Xu Ziwu said, Lin Ze was furious, but the war was about to begin. He had no time to discuss this matter with Xu Ziwu, and said: "Pull the soldiers to Shouchun City for me, and scold me outside the range of the crossbow. What?" What an ugly curse! If there is anyone at the top of the city, shoot him to death on the spot with a ballista!"
Old General Huang had been watching Lin Ze's tactics of leading troops, and he was truly convinced. These powerful soldiers and horses were loyal to him and obeyed his orders, but they wanted to see how he attacked the city.
However, Huang Zhong discovered that Lin Ze only asked the soldiers to wait outside the door and did not attack. He didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, and there were many scouts coming out of Shouchun City, but he didn't care. He really didn't know how he was going to fight this battle. .
Lin Ze himself is naturally not in a hurry, what about Shouchun? How can it be! There will be many deaths and injuries in the battle, so I don't need to use tactics to make my own people suffer.
The training of the soldiers was suitable for field battles. He expected that Yuan Shu would be frightened. He was afraid of himself and did not dare to go out. He would mobilize troops from Nanyang and Ruyang, and his own deployment was to encircle the points for reinforcements and eliminate the enemy's effective strength.
The Langya Regiment received the task of attacking Huaiyang. As Lin Ze's old teammate, Ma Wu was the fastest and he could best understand what Lin Ze meant, which was to intercept the reinforcements from Ruyang in Huaiyang.
Therefore, his five thousand men did not enter Huaiyang City, but camped nearby and waited.
After waiting for three full days, I suddenly heard the "rumbling" of drums, and saw a flaming red flag in the distance with a large "Yuan" embroidered on it. It was clear and dazzling from miles away.
Ma Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally here!"
The soldiers of the Wolf Fang Regiment also became excited. They had been training hard day and night. They had been waiting for this moment. Not to mention the 100,000 troops in front of them, they would dare to charge even if they had a million troops. After all, they would only dare to charge with 20,000 troops. For the merits of 300,000 people, if there were no traitors at the time, the war would not have been lost.
Now the time for revenge has come.
Ma Wu was a general and very calm. He squinted at the team. They were marching in an "arc-moon" formation. This was a formation that was very conducive to killing. The weapons in their hands were sharp and their momentum was calm.
Yuan Shu's soldiers are still good.
What Lin Ze once said to him rang in Ma Wu's mind, "In the wilderness where there is no defense and no traps are arranged in advance, you have few people and there are many people on the opposite side. The principle of combat is that manpower must be concentrated on one point to kill. As long as you can kill them once, the enemy's stability will be destroyed. If you turn around and kill them again, they will be defeated. This is the principle of point arrancar. Why do you have to practice hard? Point arrancar requires absolute strength!"
As Yuan Shu's people got closer and closer, Ma Wu said: "Get ready!"
After giving the order, the soldiers all tied their green scarves on their faces and raised their long spears. They followed Lin Ze's example and did not wear heavy armor. They only had a vest made of steel wire with crossbow arrows hanging on it. The sharp steel crossbow arrows sparkled in the sun.
Five thousand Wolf Fang warriors are divided into three groups in a triangle. This is the largest unit of the three-by-three tactical formation, and the smallest unit is three people.
Ma Wu tapped the horse's belly with his heel and led the team forward slowly. When the whole army started to move, Ma Wu began to accelerate, but he always maintained a medium speed because he wanted to maintain the horse's physical strength and it was not yet time to charge. critical moment.
The general leading this team is Zhang Xun. He saw this team from a distance, but he didn't find a flag after looking for a long time. There were more than 5,000 people. It looked like a bandit, but what kind of bandit was it? How dare you charge and kill the army?
All he had to do was fire a single volley from his archers, and they would be finished.
The warriors and cavalry of the Wolf Fang Regiment kicked up the billowing dust, and the momentum of five thousand people was overwhelming.
Zhang Xun's men watched the charge with bloodthirsty eyes. As long as they reached the range of the bow and arrow, it would be difficult for them not to die.
Finally reaching a distance of 300 steps, Ma Wu shouted loudly: "Kill!"
The soldiers of the Wolf Fang Regiment raised their sniper crossbows and shot deadly crossbow arrows in an instant.
In the smoke and dust caused by the horses' hooves, Zhang Xun's soldiers couldn't see clearly what actions the other party made.
"Ah!" Zhang Xun's first subordinate was shot in the throat, but the crossbow arrows did not stop there. In order to increase the range and penetration, each crossbow arrow was equipped with a spiral pattern and rotated and advanced rapidly in the air. , if it hits the armor, it can also pass through the body, and if it hits the throat, I'm sorry, it shot through three people in a row before stopping.
In an instant, more than five thousand crossbow arrows shot through the air. The soldiers did not need to aim at all, as long as they did not hit their comrades, no one in the dense crowd missed the target.
In just such an instant, three to four thousand people fell off their horses, and the frightening sound of breaking through the air came.
The soldiers under Zhang Xun were frightened. What kind of crossbow was this? Why could it be fired from three hundred steps away?
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Ma Wu was playing conservatively. With the spiral pattern, the crossbow arrow was still lethal after flying five hundred steps.
Two hundred steps!
Ma Wu ordered: "Suppress their archers!"
The second round of volleys came, and the crossbow arrows flew directly towards the archer camp. Zhang Xun then thought of setting up a shield, but what was the use of a cast iron shield? Lu Bu could shoot through it, not to mention the black technology of the Lycra sniper crossbow?
Zhang Xun's men fell off their horses one after another. The horses without their owners were running around, and they were completely out of formation.
The soldiers of Langya saw that Zhang Xun's vanguard had been defeated, and their morale increased. They all remembered what their lord said when he inspected their training: "A volley is a volley. You can't use a crossbow and I can use a crossbow." They are about to come together. What is the scene when five thousand crossbow arrows are fired? The Gatling Vulcan cannon fires six thousand bullets a minute like a harvester. At the same moment, the firepower of five thousand crossbow arrows is suppressed. What is that? "
Although they don't know what a Gatling Vulcan cannon is now, let alone what a bullet is, anyway, they have seen the lethality of five thousand crossbow arrows...
