Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 108 What a Hard Battle

Unlike Sun Jian, Han Sui has the habit of personally leading troops into battle. He prefers to stand in the battle and command the whole army, planning strategies to win thousands of miles. Although he can't do that, he really can't underestimate Han Then he was talented in arranging troops.

He also studied some military books in the early years. After all, he has been in the border area of ​​Xiliang all year round, and he has lived in a world and place that is not peaceful for many years. The content of many military books is not only about commanding thousands of troops. Sometimes it is useful. In fact, even if you are only in charge of a small army or a small group of people around you, you can learn a lot of wisdom and experience from it. After all, many management things can be integrated and learned from one instance. .

Han Sui is very stable, and sometimes it is difficult for others to perceive this kind of stability, but if someone makes some horizontal comparisons with Han Sui, he will find that he can always do a lot in advance when executing a task Deployment, this has already killed a lot of so-called generals in seconds. It may be because there are too many powerful people in this era, so their light blocked Han Sui, and many people unconsciously. Temporarily ignore his existence.

At the beginning, the two armies fought continuously at the junction of the river beach. The two sides lined up in a long strip, extending from one end of the river beach to the other end of the river beach. At first glance, there was no end in sight. As the two sides joined forces There are more and more soldiers fighting, and the entire battlefield is stretched longer. Sun Jian has no way to control such a large battlefield situation at the same time. All he can do is to lead the soldiers around him to rush into the enemy's formation .

The battle lasted for a long time. After the soldiers in the front were killed or injured, they were replaced by soldiers from the rear, and the battles were carried out round after round. Some soldiers who were exhausted after a round of fierce battles, It will also retreat from the rear, and then replace the soldiers behind to continue fighting.

Sun Jian himself charged several times in a row, and each time he was completely exhausted, and then retreated back into the formation, and when his physical strength recovered, he led his troops back to fight back again. , This is completely a battle of attrition, not only the consumption of soldiers' lives, but also the consumption of physical fitness and morale of both sides, and also a contest between the willpower of both sides. Take advantage of the trend.

The influence of morale on the battlefield is very important. As the saying goes, one goes up and down, and the defeat is like a mountain. In many cases, a small advantage can gradually snowball into a big advantage, and good at snowballing The best side must be the one with very tenacious willpower, because whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage, it will be a long-term test for both sides in the war.

After several battles, Sun Jian could hardly recover his physical fitness. After all, he was still a mortal body, and the soreness in his muscles gradually escalated into heart-piercing muscle pain, which made him feel that he had to pay a huge price every time he moved. He had no choice but to be carried to a high ground behind the battlefield, where he could still observe the surrounding situation, listen to the reports from the spies on the battlefield, and then issue various offensive and defensive orders.

Of course, on such a fierce battlefield at this time, he will not issue too many orders, and more will give the decision-making power to those generals under him. It was still Han Sui's soldiers, who were holding back their energy before, and now they finally have the opportunity to fight a good fight, so they really didn't waste this opportunity at all. They fought until both sides lost their strength. Fighting continued from morning to afternoon, when the sun was about to set, the fighting between the two sides gradually subsided, and Han Sui took the initiative to withdraw some troops.

After a whole day of fighting, the soldiers on both sides have a lot of things to do, such as cleaning up the battlefield, burying the dead and treating the wounded. Of course, in this era, because medical technology is very backward, the death rate of soldiers It is very high, and many traumas will lead to further infections, such as sepsis, which is the enemy of soldiers' lives. Without antibiotics, many soldiers will not survive the day.

As a result, many soldiers who were seriously injured, when clearing the battlefield, whether they were friendly or enemy troops, would kill them directly. This is actually a kind of kindness, because if they were alive, they might have to bear a huge burden. pain of.

Suffering is not unbearable, but some unnecessary pains can be endured a lot, so let’s bear less. If you die early and live early, you may still be a good man in 18 years, and you can continue to shine for which force in this troubled world fever.

After this day's bloody battle, the battle losses of both sides are actually not particularly large. In fact, in ancient battles, if both sides were warriors with a certain armor rate, and at the same time fought with relatively conventional large army frontal infantry, then the battle loss rate It can often be controlled within a relatively small range, because in fact the real most dangerous enemy on the ancient battlefield is often not necessarily your enemy, and more likely your own friendly army.

Especially when there is a large-scale rout of the army, it will often cause a large number of soldiers to die in a short period of time, and the power of soldiers trampling each other is beyond imagination.

However, in today's battle, both sides are always in an evenly matched situation. Although the two sides have certain advantages in different theaters and different time periods during the battle, neither of them can achieve a It is enough to break the critical point, so that the enemy will be defeated on a large scale. Most of the soldier casualties occurred during the battle.

But this kind of battle is often the hardest and most difficult, because the wet and soft sand on the river beach makes it impossible for the horses to run as much as they want, so the two sides can only give up the most powerful weapon cavalry with the ability to kill and change the situation of the battle, and instead fall into a trap. In the scuffle situation of fighting with each other.

At night, Sun Jian's whole body hurts so much that he can't sleep. During the day, he killed the enemy with great joy, but he didn't expect that he had exceeded his body's tolerance limit. According to the military doctor, he had better not participate in tomorrow's battle. , he needs a period of rest to be able to fully recover.

Sun Jian really wanted to say that he was fine, and he could continue fighting tomorrow, but when he found that he had trouble walking, his mouth was no longer as hard as a duck's. After all, people have their own limits, and admit their own limits Sometimes there is no shame.

Han Sui did not expect that the battle would be so difficult. He knew that if such a battle continued, the two sides would definitely fall into a long stalemate, and no one could easily defeat the other. Here, he originally thought of killing Sun Jian's troops easily, and then turned his guns to deal with Dong Zhuo who had been stationed in Yunwu City. Now it seems that the situation is not very optimistic.

Although Dong Zhuo hadn't made any movement and didn't know what he was thinking, it seemed that he really didn't have any strong desire to attack, but as long as Dong Zhuo's troops were stationed outside the city, it would be a great threat to Yunwu City .

After careful consideration, Han Sui decided to launch a night attack on Sun Jian's army that night. He thought that everyone was so tired after the day's fighting, and Sun Jian's army would definitely rest earlier, and most of the soldiers would be in a state of nothingness by then. The state of defense, after all, he has an advantage in military strength, and there are some soldiers who did not participate in fierce battles during the day, so they can be allowed to carry out this night attack at night. He attaches great importance to this night attack and thinks it is It was an excellent opportunity to defeat Sun Jian in one fell swoop, so he even planned to lead the army there himself.
