Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh strike and kill
When the two armies face off, the commander's command ability is best seen.
It is not difficult to lead a team of 100 people. It depends on courage, stimulate morale and lead a hundred people to rush.
It is not difficult to lead an army of thousands of people. It is clear that everyone's responsibilities and roles are defined, motivate morale, temper their minds, and share the joys and sorrows with soldiers.
But it is starting to become difficult to lead an army of ten thousand people.
Yue Fei now has 200,000 troops under his command, with the front and rear armies several miles apart, and the left and right wings several miles apart.
There are also different types of troops such as heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, musketeers, etc.
What is the most important thing to command such a huge army and be invincible in the battle?
Is it the morale of the army? This thing is the most basic and changes with the change of the situation.
Are you sharing weal and woe? This is just a kind of example of the commander who sets by example.
Is it a flexible brain and a deep scheming? Such people are usually not qualified commanders because they think too complicatedly.
What the army needs is simplicity!
To lead an army of 200,000, the most important thing is to achieve consistency in the information uploaded and issued.
As Zhao Huan said, the effectiveness of an organization will weaken with the increase in the number of people.
Everyone has their own ideas, and everyone hopes that their ideas can be realized.
At this time, the efficiency will be reduced dramatically.
The only way to solve this problem is absolute obedience.
Therefore, strict military governance is the most important thing.
This is exactly what Yue Fei is best at.
Yue Fei is not sensitive to politics, and sometimes his mind is a little bit unrestrained.
If he was just a farmer, he would definitely be called stupid.
However, the commander of the army needs such a person.
A commander who is too flexible always likes to work hard on tactics and strategies, and ignores the significance of the army itself.
A peerless and brave commander likes to show his strength, such as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and ignores the coordination ability of the army.
A truly qualified general is to make the entire army strong.
This is how Yue Fei is. He uses his simplest and stupidest method to strictly abide by military discipline.
He demands himself and everyone in this way.
No one can destroy military discipline, even Yue Yun can do it.
Therefore, when Situ Heng went to Yue Fei's military camp, he could see that the steps of each soldier walking were exactly the same, just like he had measured it with a ruler.
When this army arrived outside Fengcheng at this time.
Each square matrix, front, back, left and right, is neatly arranged, no matter where you look, it is a straight line.
This is the most obvious manifestation of the military discipline of an army.
Only in this way can the entire army fight closely and be as morale as rainbows when it is at a large-scale exhibition.
At present, in the middle of the Song army, the front of the Inner Armor, holding a tall shield, formed a solid line of defense in front.
With Liu Qi as the commander of the former army, the sound of the war drums of the Song army rang out, and the infantry and armor of the former army began to move forward steadily.
Each of them had a very consistent step, boom boom boom...
The ground seemed to be trembling and sinking.
The commander of the Jin army was Wanyan Zongbi's son-in-law Xia Jinwu, and the deputy commander was Wanyan Bojin.
Wanyan Bojin was always confused and asked: "Master General, our army can defend the city without leaving, use Fengcheng to defend the enemy and shoot the Song army. There is no need to fight to the death with the Song army."
Xia Jinwu said: "You know nothing. If our army huddled in Fengcheng and refused to fight, wouldn't it mean that our army was afraid of Song Gou! You can afford to lose this person, but the king can't afford to lose it!"
The king he mentioned was Wanyan Zongbi.
Wanyan Zongbi is extremely conceited, which is also related to his own abilities.
Among the many famous generals in the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Zongbi was the youngest, but facts have proved that he was the best at fighting.
In terms of strategy, he is not inferior to Wanyan Zongwang, and in terms of military governance, he is not inferior to Wanyan Zonghan.
At least, he never lost the battle.
One characteristic of this person in war is that he likes to fight head-on.
In history, there was also a great man who liked to play like this, and this person was Xiang Yu.
But he is different from Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu is a person who has led everyone to fiercely.
He has made innovations in the strict governance of the army and the update and iteration of the troops.
This is also the reason why Wanyan Dan relies on him, and it is also the reason why he was able to compete with Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan.
But, the Yue Fei he met also liked to play the tactic of facing forward resistance.
It is the game where the brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road.
If you don’t accept it, do it and push it directly!
No matter how tough the battle is, Yue Fei has never frowned.
Two people with tough tempers become opponents, so of course they just started to do it.
Xia Jinwu was also very angry. Wanyan Zongbi asked him to take heavy armored infantry out of the city to fight, and he quickly led people out of the city.
Xia Jinwu made Wanyan Bojin silent after saying a word.
The Jin army's war drums also sounded.
Yang Yi was the commander of the first battalion under Liu Qi. He held up his shield and walked forward step by step, feeling quite excited.
He felt that the blood flowing in his body had accelerated, there was a sound of wind in his ears, and even he could hear the breathing of his comrades.
He felt extremely honored and proud to be able to fight Fengcheng.
His army was at the middle and front, and was the vanguard, and the first to have a close contact with the Jin army.
He soon saw the figure of the Jin army ahead, and even saw the outline of Xia Jinwu in the head coach position.
When they approached the Jin army's hundred steps, the Jin army began to fire arrows.
The rain of arrows in the sky landed densely.
The Song army raised their shields together.
The rain of arrows fell on the shield, making crackling sounds, and all fell to the ground.
The Song Jun was wearing heavy armor and using his shield as a protection, like a ball of steel moving, and their speed suddenly accelerated.
The entire battalion, five hundred people, accelerated the speed.
And the movements are very well connected, without any confusion.
Another business next to it followed closely.
The Jin army's arrows fell several times and were blocked by the Song army.
While trotting, Song Jun held a shield with one hand and skillfully took out the crossbow with the other hand and began to shoot arrows in the gap.
Liu Qi's combat method is very simple. Ten people are the smallest organization, such as ten people fire crossbow arrows, ten people prepare spears, and the other ten people are ready to fight tightly at any time.
When advancing, the army is a whole. When entering the enemy, the army quickly formed dozens of small combat groups, each with its own partners and cooperated with each other.
This is also a frontal combat method that Yue Fei used when he was training the Shenwu Army.
He brought this method to the current Northwest Army.
The heavy infantry in the Northwest Army is the strongest.
After the Song army in front fired a crossbow arrow, the Song army behind him quickly fired a second arrow.
More than a dozen Jin soldiers were shot and killed in front.
Even with shields, some Jin soldiers were injured.
The Song army's crossbow arrows were very powerful and the arrows were sharp.
