  Chapter 2801 The first battle is light and the first victory is won, the rich and the poor are indifferent

  The battle soon began.

Kaza was very successful in feigning defeat. After all, the vassal soldiers themselves were not very eager to fight, and they were not as good as the regular army in terms of discipline training. At that time, it did not arouse much suspicion from the car masters.

Maybe it's because the car masters in Jinzihe City don't have much military literacy, or the commander of the car masters thinks that he is really protected by the **** of fire and is invincible, or maybe there are other reasons Anyway, when Kaza pretended that the siege was not going well, and then retreated, the car masters in the city felt that they had an opportunity, so they rushed out.

   Then these car masters bumped into Gao Shun's formation.

  Under the command of the Central Army Banner, the entire army formation was deployed sequentially. The left wing and the right wing, the front of the center formation, the order cavalry flag team, the rear army of the Chinese army, etc. each perform their duties.

  The most fundamental reason why Gao Shun will be arranged in such a formation is that apart from Gao Shun's headquarters, the rest of the military academies have some slackened combat readiness due to long-term lack of effective training.

  Jinzihe City is not a strong enemy. Strictly speaking, Gao Shun can even lead the troops of the headquarters to charge and kill, but Gao Shun feels that it still needs to be well organized so that these Han soldiers can restore their original appearance.

Under the leadership of the two teams, the front line was laid out frontally, because the Cheshi people in Jinzihe City were actually average in combat power, so the entire front line was not thick, it was just for training, and it was to form a team as much as possible. The wider front allows more soldiers to participate in the first wave of attacks.

  The two wings each sent a queue to outflank the opponent.

Gao Shun, who was in the middle army, looked at the operation of various parts and the time limit for action, and said after a while: "I'm afraid these car masters will not be able to practice twice without being beaten... After they collapse, they will be Let the two wings carry out outflanking and intercepting, and catch those who can live...』

  The Chinese military academy is eager to try, "General, what about us?" 』

  Gao Shun comforted, "Let the former army and the two wings practice first, you... still have a chance, don't worry." 』

Unlike Gao Shun's army, who had an attitude of military training and was taking care of himself, these car masters who rushed out of Jinzihe City were somewhat embarrassed. Although they knew that there were Han troops coming, they thought that the people in Kaza were the Han troops. , and then I naturally felt that there was nothing remarkable about it, and seeing Kaza's unruly operations under the city like a tiger, I felt that the Han army was too famous, so I excitedly bit Kaza's **** and chased him all the way. , After seeing Gao Shun line up, he suddenly realized that he might have been caught in a trap.

From the perspective of Che Shiren, the array of the Han army on the opposite side, the red and black armored flags, and the gleaming swords, guns and weapons, seem to have suddenly built a steel city wall on the ground, directly cutting off the way of life. generally.

Suddenly there was a howling sound among the car masters, wow, wow, following the shouts of the car masters, it seemed that those car masters suddenly regained some energy, and they all howled one after another, waving knives and guns , it seems that the momentum is not falling but rising.

  Looking at this posture, it seems that Che Shiren is going to attack Gao Shun's center line.

  This choice can’t be considered wrong. After all, Che Shiren chased Kaza and others all the way, and the formation was already a bit scattered. If he stopped to straighten the formation at this time, it would basically give Gao Shun a chance to encircle him smoothly.

  Listening to the horns of the car masters one after another, Gao Shun felt a little strange. He couldn't understand what the car masters were shouting at all, so he turned his head and asked the guide, "What are they calling?" 』

  The guide listened for a while, and said, "It seems to be talking about a god, what kind of protection..."

"god? Gao Shun didn't understand, "What god?" 』

  The guide whispered: "Cheshi people believe in the **** of fire. They believe that fire can burn away all unclean things, so they especially like gold, because gold can survive in fire..."

  Gao Shun nodded, understood. So it turned out that at first Gao Shun thought it was because Che Shi was too greedy, so he was reluctant to abandon Jinzihe City. Now he realizes that there is such a relationship. If the gold produced by Jinzihe City is regarded as a representative Of course, it is impossible to give up any kingdom tribute or sacrificial objects from the gods at will.

  It’s just that Che Shiren...

   Does this mean that the Han people's swords are not good?

  Gao Shun waved his hand, "Order, attack!" 』

  The two wings first came into contact with the car master's array, and the car master himself had been pulled into a roughly spindle shape when he was chasing, and when the two wings were wrapped up, he directly launched his riding and shooting. Opening a bow and archery on horseback is a relatively demanding skill, but if you use a cavalry crossbow, it is much simpler. Although the cavalry crossbow is limited to the horseback, you cannot use the strength of your waist and legs to open the string. But at short and medium distances, it is still suitable for most cavalry to use, especially in the current outflanking mode, where the two sides are separated by a certain distance, and the chariots become the most suitable moving targets.

If you want to shoot accurately with a bow, you have to shoot the bow at the moment when the horse is in the air, but if you want to aim and keep shooting at any time when the horse is running around, you need a very high level of proficiency. Cavalry The crossbow eliminates the fatigue caused by long-time bowing, and can also eliminate the bumps of the galloping horse. Of course, the cavalry crossbow is not without flaws. On the one hand, the shooting range is much shorter than that of the bow and arrow, and on the other hand, the firing speed is much slower.

   But if you can only get one shot when staggered, then these defects are not a problem at all.

  After a bang, the crossbow shot through the air!

  Most of the chariots were wearing relatively light cavalry clothing, with little armor, and basically they couldn't block these crossbow arrows.

  As the cavalry on both wings began to shoot, the screams of the chariots followed one after another, and the aura of the so-called god's protection dropped a lot in an instant...

The Cheshi people who were attacked by the two wings of the Han army did not have time to wonder why the Vulcan could not answer their prayers, nor did they have time to shout a few more times in anticipation of Vulcan's response, but subconsciously went to It is human instinct to avoid the crowd in the middle of the whole queue. The problem is that not all human instincts are good things on the battlefield.

  Crowded queues are suitable for infantry, and definitely not the first choice for cavalry.

   Once the space for movement is lost, cavalry is not even as good as infantry.

  The more crowded, the more flustered they became. Problems arising from the flanks soon caused Che Shiren to get stuck as if constipated, and the speed of rushing towards Gaoshun's center line unknowingly slowed down.

Like the **** system of most feudal dynasties, the chariots are also a model for the elite to control the miscellaneous soldiers. Although there are some trainings, especially those chariot warriors wearing armor, their martial arts are not bad, but most chariots The teacher still held crude knives and guns, and wore leather armor, or even no armor. Especially the lack of long-range weapons, the morale was directly weakened before the direct contact with Gao Shun's army, and the morale collapsed directly after a short-hand contact.

  Gao Shun looked at it, and didn't even have the desire to attack with the troops of the headquarters, so he directly ordered the vassals to join the attack. When the vassal soldiers who are good at fighting with the wind rushed forward with chirping ghosts, Che Shiren collapsed and began to flee immediately.

With the fleeing of the chariots, especially those who were elite or warriors, the chariots who remained in Jinzihe city quickly lost their core bones of resistance. Even the leader of the car master howled and said that he would resist to the end, but after those guys who came to pan for gold instead of fighting for their lives opened the city gate first and dispersed, even Jinzihe City, which was built on the mountainside, did not How many defensive functions have been played.

   Cheshi's defenders were defeated and the first battle was won, which seemed to be a good start, but in fact, this victory in Jinzihe City was only the beginning of Gao Shun's predicament.

Generally speaking, what the army needs most is "righteousness". For the family, for the country, and for the world, it can be regarded as righteousness. Speaking of which, corruption is not far away.

The Xiliang soldiers and the Bingzhou army originally brought by Lu Bu were actually quite well restrained under the hussars, and they more or less had the foundation of a strong army, otherwise they would not have beaten these Western regions before that year. Like a grandpa beating a grandson, he drove them all the way from east to west. But Lu Bu himself didn't know how to maintain it, and Wei Xu and others were short-sighted, so that this foundation soon began to deteriorate. The Han soldiers in the Western Regions began to be the same as those vassals, only thinking about money, women, goods…

When these Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou troops were under the command of the hussars, they could still maintain strict military discipline, which was at least many times better than when they were in chaos in Chang'an. This also shows that under certain conditions, people's good and evil are not It is immutable, but with the increasingly lax after arriving in the Western Regions, especially after the unrestrained rewards and expenses in Xihai City, the desire threshold has been raised, and everything will be better, the more unsatisfactory it is After becoming more and more eager, and at the same time seeing the corruption at the civilian level, the corruption at the military side also spread.

   Once the morale of the army has fallen, everything will not be easy to maintain.

  When Lu Bu announced that he was going to march, these soldiers and generals who had begun to corrupt no longer thought about the sake of their family and country, but thought about getting rich and getting rich again! As for the victory or defeat, in their minds, they have unknowingly retreated to the second or third line. Whether they can complete the mission, or whether they can finally reach Dawan and point to Anxi, these people don't care anymore, what they care about Things have turned out to be...

money.

Therefore, after Gao Shun won the first game, it would be fine if it was an ordinary city or village, but it happened to be a car division stronghold for gold digging, which immediately detonated the madness of these soldiers and generals. At the beginning, These military academies even went to Gao Shun to ask for instructions, but after Gao Shun issued an order that no one could go out inside, no one could enter outside, and no looting was allowed, everything began to change...

  『What is this? ! 』

  『General Gao is good at everything, except for one thing...』

  『Obviously, the wealth in front of him, why does General Gao feel like he is avoiding the plague? 』

  『Isn’t it just for these yellow and white things to eat when serving as a soldier? Watching other people feast on fish and meat every day, we are half hungry and half full every day. Who can survive these days? 』

  『Yes! Otherwise, what is the purpose of eating dry buns and drinking sand soup every day? Is it possible that it is for those civil servants to make money one by one to make their stomachs fat as if they are pregnant, but we are so poor and shriveled? ! 』

  『This is the truth! If we live a hard life together, that’s okay, but those guys treat us like idiots, they eat fat heads and big ears one by one, and let us sew and mend every day! 』

  A group of soldiers and military academy gathered in one place, chattering and chattering, and their voices became louder and louder, and there were a lot of discussions, and everyone in the back was extremely angry, glaring, and frothing.

   While these soldiers were discussing heatedly, they suddenly heard shouts, "Brother Changsheng is back!" Everyone be careful! Listen to how it is said! 』

   A group of people stopped discussing and looked at Ma Changsheng who was walking over.

  Ma Changsheng looked at the crowd, then shook his head expressionlessly.

"What? ! Is General Gao not allowed? ! 』

  『Looking at the fall of this golden city, they still haven’t given rewards? Do you think General Gao is going to hide himself? 』

  『Ghost knows! Anyway, I think that what is due to us is given to us! At least the military pay owed to us before should be repaid to us? ! 』

  『Blood is bleeding from my body, and I have suffered a lot. I can’t eat sweets at the end of the day. I can’t swallow this breath! 』

  『Yes! Can't swallow it! 』

   Ma Changsheng waved his hand, "Shut up! This matter... General Gao said, it is not allowed, and offenders will be punished heavily...」

   After a brief silence, it exploded with a bang!

When Gao Shun reprimanded them for failing to follow the code of conduct in the military camp before, they didn't feel any anger, but now they feel anger rising, and some even start to say that if this continues, they can't do it, and whoever wants to go will follow Gao Shun , anyway, he can't accept it...

  Now these Han troops in the Western Regions are different from the Hussars of Sanfu in Guanzhong. In Guanzhong Sanfu, or in the early days of the Western Regions, whether it was the Xiliang soldiers or the Bingzhou Army, or some soldiers added later, they were all bloody. A poor soldier of fame.

  At that time, everyone was poor.

Although their equipment was very sharp and their armor was very expensive at that time, strictly speaking, they did not belong to them individually, but were issued according to the establishment, so at that time, it can be said that they actually did not have much personal property. There is no concept of how much your money or my money. Everyone eats together, stirs the horse spoon in a dark kettle, gnaws dry pancakes together, and drinks porridge and soup full of wind and sand.

  These military academies were willing to sacrifice their lives in the early days of the Western Regions, and they really did. Although Lu Bu is said to be tyrannical, it does not mean that there will be zero casualties in every battle, and there will still be casualties. Most of the dead soldiers were cremated and their ashes were brought back, and when the battle was serious, sometimes even the whole body could not be found, so it would be nice to be able to retrieve a soldier's military badge.

Even though the logistics supplies of the hussars are already at the first-class level in this era, in the vast area of ​​the Western Regions, when they crusade against the various states in the Western Regions, they may not be able to obtain supplies and food on time and on time. Sometimes the logistics cannot keep up. When I went to school, the soldiers, the generals, and the school gritted their teeth together, endured hunger, searched for food, and then swallowed grass roots and wild vegetables...

   Bitter, eaten.

  Blood, flowing.

  They are not cowards, let alone softies, but what is waiting for them?

After Li Ru's death, after the civil servants lost control and supervision, Lu Bu allowed Wei Xu and others to act mischievously, and he was careless. As a result, the old problems in the Xiliang soldiers and the Bingzhou army gradually resurfaced. At first they were simply held back, and then the honest officers were either convicted or dismissed.

   Forming cliques, the army of the feudal dynasty, this kind of problem is really unavoidable, so in fact, if it only reaches this level, it will be fine. Because even if they were detained or drove away those honest non-commissioned officers, the Han army in the Western Regions was beyond the combat level of this era, with abundant combat supplies and excellent combat equipment...

   The problem is, when a black spot appears on a tooth, it often means more than just a tiny hole.

During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Xiliang soldiers and the Bingzhou army often had empty pay and deductions, but they were still very capable of fighting. They beat all the soldiers in Shandong to the brim. It's just that these bad habits have been changed after the death, and now the Western Regions have returned to the original state of the Han Lingdi period, which seems to be no big deal.

But the most unbearable thing for these soldiers is that they saw the crazy corruption of the civil servants in the Western Regions, and then they were ridiculed and belittled, making them feel that all the things they did before, the blood and sweat they shed, and the hard work they put in It's all for those corrupt civil servants who are making wedding clothes! He has become a poor ghost who is a soldier in the civil officials' mouth!

In the end, there were even problems with the normal rationing. The food and clothing of the soldiers were exchanged for money. The things that should have been distributed to them became less and less, but there were more and more troubles. The gap between rich and poor is widening...

   Anger, eventually inevitably arises.

  『Why? ! 』

  『Yes, why? Why can those guys make money, but not when it's our turn? ! 』

  『It’s not fair! 』

  『Fair! We want justice! 』

  『Why can those civil servants get money, but we can’t! Not to mention we just want our share of the money! 』

  『Yes, the money we won! It was originally our money! 』
