Vol 2 Chapter 297: On human nature on the battlefield


The light in Liu Yu ’s eyes shone, watching the battle ahead, and the reorganized Huns cavalry had once again been killed under the leadership of Borghi, and the Beifu Army infantry who saw the enemy ’s reorganization were also one after another. Re-arranged, the archer retreated into the formation, while the shield player and the long prince stood in front of them like a wall, preparing for impact protection.
However, Liu Yu's eyes had already looked at the Huns cavalry of nearly 10,000 horses in the rear, where they were also dispatching troops, making the flag fluttering and the whistle ringing, and a large number of cavalry were reorganizing one after another. , It looks like something is going to happen.
Liu Yu's mouth ticked, and sneered: "It turns out that it was so, ordering, playing the retreat, letting the retreat slowly retreat, shooting the position with a strong bow, and slowly retreating back to the Changcao District."
Chief Sun quickly raised the bugle and blew three short and one long hurried horns, while the flag soldiers beside him quickly raised two white and one black flags, which was the whole team's retreat Signals, on the battlefield, there are different requirements for retreat. The so-called Mingjin retreat is often a forced retreat and no longer becomes an emergency horn of the array, and this two white and one black slogan is an array. Retreat, no need to rush.
When the sound of the three short and one long horns of Sun Division was blown out, the troop garrisons in the front and the front squad also sounded, and dozens of trumpets played the same commands. For the Fang team, the archers rushed out, drawing strong bows without firing, pointing directly at the opposite cavalry. Once they entered the effective killing zone of fifty to seventy steps, they would send out thousands of arrows.
While the other infantry soldiers put away their long arms and pointed straight to the sky. The shield hand stood beside the archers who took cover. The big shield blocked their fronts. All the people were walking backwards. Even with this retreat, it was methodical and extremely disciplined and rhythmic. The light soldiers in the back helped the slightly injured sergeant first, while the other soldiers took a neat pace and stepped back slowly with the instructions of their respective teams.
After Sun had blown these horns, he swallowed a bit of saliva and looked at Liu Yu. He said strangely: "Junior, our attack has just been a big victory, why should we retreat?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Because the large array behind the enemy is moving, if there is no accident, they will act."
Sun Chu's face changed, he looked away, and nodded convincingly: "It's really like what the slave said, the enemy is moving. Look, what are they going to do?"
Liu Yu laughed: "You remember how the Murong Nan played last time?"
Chief Sun said thoughtfully: "Why can't I remember it? The impression was so deep. He was out in ambush at that time, entangled with us, and then fired indiscriminately, waiting for us to be a little confused, Then go out and armor and outfit, and assault your handsome position directly. You mean, this time the Huns will use the same tricks? But this is not a drill, really regardless of whether you are dead or alive? "
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "For these nomad cavalry, there is no life or death, the purpose of letting these three thousand cavalry attack first is to test our reality, this goal has not been achieved, but now our more than a thousand infantry attack Most of the time after going out, there were only a few garrisons behind. To know if there was an ambush in the grass, you had to attack directly on the outside plains with cavalry and fight together.
Sun nodded: "But the enemy's front cavalry had nearly half of their casualties. Even if they rushed over, they might not have beaten our infantry, so ..."
Liu Yu nodded affirmatively: "So only when there is a fight between the two sides, there are thousands of cavalry in the back, and a burst of fire regardless of the enemy, can I test whether our army has ambushes. I will not give them this opportunity, so now Withdraw early! "
Chief Sun ticked his mouth: "But what if the enemy's cavalry rushed over directly? What if they had more than a thousand men and women, and they just attacked in desperation, fearing that we would be a little dangerous."
Liu Yu smiled and pointed at the enemy cavalry in front of him: "Look, can they still work harder?"
Chief Sun looked closely and saw that the cavalrymen under Borgi were roaring loudly and rushed forward, but when they often rushed to a distance of about a hundred steps from their own infantry, a burst of bows and arrows were launched, even the shields were very good. It was difficult to shoot, and they fell one after another, and then the cavalry separated to the wings, and replaced their companions behind, but no matter how they looked aggressively attacked, they were always afraid to kill the Beifu soldiers within a hundred steps.
Sun Chuqi said: "What happened to the enemy ride, how can it seem to have lost its momentum all at once."
There was a sneer on the corner of Liu Yu's mouth: "Because the enemy's former cavalry is not a fool, he was originally a tentative attack, he lost more than half, he should be withdrawn and rested, but the enemy leader will not let them retreat and force In order to continue their offensive, and later send troops to send ~ EbookFREE.me ~ apparently want to take action when the remnants of these former troops are fighting with our army, that is to say, he has no regard for these former troops The dead army is dead and alive. He can treat these people as abandoned children, but will these people die? "
Chief Sun suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "So, they just stepped forward to shoot and act like this, but they refused to step forward to charge. Because, they also know that if they rush, they die!"
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Sanzizi (Secretary Sun's nickname, nickname), you must remember that no matter how strict the military discipline is, it is impossible to ignore human nature. To be fearless, you have to come up with something that is desperately hard to come out, or as a master, you can let your men blindly follow, knowing that you can die, but more, you have to make people see hope and can work hard. , But not necessarily die, if you do n’t die, there will be huge benefits, so that people can die together. If there is no doubt that death, then you give people more benefits, it is impossible for people to act according to your wishes! "
Speaking of which, Liu Yu put on the face, a cold flash in his eyes: "It's hard to be stupid, I think that I can let people sell his life, but they don't even understand the most basic human nature. This is fun, the former army The remnant soldiers now do not work, but will block the impact route of the cavalry behind him. Wait and see, how do I abuse him! Order, discard the first-level and part of the armor, make a collapsed appearance, and accelerate to retreat into the grass , Remember, you must pretend to be panic and realistic! "
