God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The skillful and efficient teamwork quickly destroyed the gun emplacement in front, creating a huge gap. Then, the Tiger Warriors, rolling forward, used the explosive power and speed of their legs to swing their shields and charge forward as they stood up.

The Tiger Legion's innate swiftness and super-fast reaction speed endow them with extremely fast reaction and attack speeds, and their charges at this speed also possess extremely strong offensive power and deterrent force.

A pure shield charge can produce an effect close to a blunt impact. Although this attack is not particularly fatal to lightly armored enemies, the extremely high speed of the strike and the swing of the ring-pommel sword are enough to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at the moment of impact.

With excellent teamwork and rapid, effective close-combat burst capabilities, the Tiger Legion was able to destroy spearman formations at an extremely fast pace, further closing the distance between the two sides.

However, the heavy spears failed to effectively restrain the Tiger Warriors at close range; instead, they were countered by the Tiger Warriors due to their maneuvering and swinging techniques.

Shan Tanu, who witnessed all of this, turned pale on the spot.

What was thought to be a form of restraint has now been reversed, which is entirely due to a misjudgment by the commander.

To take countermeasures based on the equipment of the Han Empire's army is the most foolish thing to do. He has learned his lesson and realized that relying on this method to make judgments is simply courting death.

While the heavy spearman legion might have a decent battle formation effect during the day, at this dawn, it truly is just dawn.

Insufficient light and inadequate assessment of the enemy directly led to the collapse of the front line. Even though Banat and Albazz had done their best to cover the retreat, they still couldn't change the rapidly collapsing situation of the vanguard.

"Order Surapuri and Amir to launch attacks from both flanks, intensify harassment of the flanks, and force the enemy's central army to slow down its advance. At the same time," Shan Ta Nu glanced at Leblai beside him and said calmly, "be prepared to transfer soldiers from the rear to reinforce the front at any time."

Lebrley nodded on the spot, indicating that he understood.

The meaning behind Shan Ta Nu's words is far from positive.

According to the communication before the war, Shan Ta Nu could only command about 5 troops under normal circumstances, and even if he concentrated all his forces, the number would not be much more.

With only this level of command capability, leading 8 men into battle meant that the entire rear guard was a reserve force.

To maximize the combat effectiveness of these reserves, it is essential to replenish all troops promptly and quickly, maintaining the total number of combat personnel on the front lines at around 4 to 5.

In this way, Shan Ta Nu doesn't have to worry about having too many people to command, and the entire legion has a high margin of error, allowing for replacements at any time.

The continuous influx of reserve troops will further maintain and solidify morale on the front lines, giving the army greater resilience and combat effectiveness.

As for the drawback, it is that it is impossible to exert the combat power of 80,000 troops at the same time.

However, thanks to the choice of terrain, this aspect is not a big problem, since the battle line is only so wide.

"The Han Empire is indeed a good opponent, but also a good teacher. Since they have learned this technique, our army will naturally be able to do it as well." Amir led his main legion, looking at the Han Empire spearmen at his vanguard, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Amir witnessed everything that happened in the central army: how the swordsmen fought the spearmen.

Ranged attacks and harassment, with soldiers rolling to close the distance and utilizing the limited space for maneuvering, effectively counters spearmen by closing the gap to a point where they can no longer use heavy spears. Amir's Legion also possesses ranged attack methods, shields, and swords; even the soldiers' innate abilities excel in speed and attack power.

After some honest reflection, Amir felt that if the Han Empire's army could do it, his elite troops could too, the only difference being the degree to which they could do it, and they wouldn't be able to unleash a combat power comparable to that of the Han Empire.

But at least maintaining a balance of power, or rather, making the Han Empire wary, shouldn't be too much of a problem.

The Han army, Amir's opponent, was also from one of the five schools of Sanhe, an infantry battalion responsible for frontal combat, fully armored and equipped with guns and shields.

As the commander of the infantry battalion, Pei Yuanshao thought more and went further than Liao Hua.

As a former leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Pei Yuanshao was well aware of the strength of the Three Rivers Five Schools Legion, having once been nearly killed by such a legion.

From the moment he took over until now, Pei Yuanshao has felt like he's in a dream.

The legion that once nearly killed them has now become their own legion, which is truly awe-inspiring.

"Unfortunately, everyone's role on the battlefield has changed to some extent compared to before." Pei Yuanshao glanced at the Tiger Warriors of the Central Army and shook his head.

The Tiger Warriors, originally intended to protect Changshui and Shesheng, are now moving to the front lines, while this powerful army, originally meant for the front lines, is now providing cover on the flanks.

The reason for this was that the primary duties of their two army corps were being performed by other army corps.

Shesheng and Changshui were protected by Huang Zhong's army. Once in position, they could begin to carry out long-range strikes and suppression, thus replacing the role of the Tiger Warriors to some extent.

The infantry battalion, originally intended for breakthroughs in the central army and to make a name for itself with its strong combat power, has now been replaced by Guan Yu's elite swordsmen, whose frontal combat capabilities are even stronger.

However, the Sanhe Five Schools Legion is a legion with its own characteristics and battlefield role. It can be used together or separately.

Moreover, in such a large-scale battlefield, the use of the Three Rivers and Five Schools becomes even more flexible and puts command capabilities to a greater test.

If one's command ability is insufficient, rigidly commanding the three rivers and five schools can still achieve a decent minimum performance. However, if one's command ability is excellent, there is no need to bring the three rivers and five schools together; instead, one should give full play to each other's strengths.

Judging from the current command style, General Guan's command behavior is indeed full of personal characteristics.

However, Pei Yuanshao had no objection to Guan Yu's command ability; in fact, he thought he was quite suitable.

In any case, in previous command exercises and battles, he had never won against Guan Yu.

From command to actual combat, from the legion to the individual, they never won a single battle.

It was precisely because of these past experiences and encounters that Pei Yuanshao did not resist his current position, nor did he resist Guan Yu's orders. (End of Chapter)
