Chapter 1174 Pre-War Arrangements
The current cavalry configuration of the Han Dynasty can almost be described as barbaric.
Almost all the top legions were cavalry, and only a few legions were infantry.
This is the exact opposite of the situation in Rome where almost all of the troops were infantry, with only a few being cavalry.
This is still a historical problem. After all, when Rome fought Parthia, most of the attacks were done at the siege.
When the Han Dynasty fought against the Huns, they were beaten for a small part of the time, and spent most of the time stabbing each other on the grasslands. Without cavalry, they would have been doomed.
Later, the Han Dynasty absorbed the experience pack of the Xiongnu and developed the cavalry to the extreme. The few legions that could fight in the early years, such as the Yulin and Feixiong, were all cavalry.
Therefore, Huangfu Song successively deployed Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, and Zhang Xiu, almost all of whom were cavalry corps.
"Where is Gao Lan?" Huangfu Song nodded to Jiang Qi and gave the order again.
Gao Lan took a step forward in silence. Huangfu Song looked him up and down and nodded. After Huangfu Song came back from heaven, he studied the super heavy step carefully. After all, the ability of angels to resurrect is very similar to the characteristics of the super heavy step, but it is more convenient than the super heavy step.
He wanted to do some research to see if he could come up with some angel warriors with dual talents. After all, they already had a heaven on earth, so it seemed like they might be able to resurrect them.
But after studying it, Huangfu Song had to admire the concept of super heavy steps.
Even if Huangfu Song had some idea about this level of troops, it would be very difficult to copy them. What's more, Gao Lan's method of destroying the legion's talents, infusing them into the legion, and merging them with elite talents was an eye-opener for Huangfu Song.
This is almost the same method used by the God of War and others to train soldiers.
The God of War trains his troops, which means that the solidified military formation is destroyed in this way and then poured into the elite talents of the soldiers, thus inheriting the remaining attributes of the military formation.
Normal people like them train their troops by building up elite talents through basic combinations.
However, when the God of War trains his soldiers, he directly uses the military formation to imitate the elite talents, then destroys the military formation and infuses them into the soldiers' bodies, allowing them to inherit this elite talent, and then practices the basic talents, and finally directly completes the combination.
It sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to put into practice. At least Huangfu Song doesn't understand how to use the military formation to imitate the elite talents he wants.
The first step alone was enough to make him lose his mind. In the end, he had no choice but to give up this high-end training method and use the simple method that he was most familiar with to train his soldiers.
"You lead the super heavy infantry and stand between Ma Chao and the Roman army. You don't need to take the initiative to attack. You just need to keep your distance and divert the attention of the Roman elite. Let Ma Chao's side remain full of barbarian troops as much as possible!" Huangfu Song gave Gao Lan an unexpected task.
“Yes!”
But Gao Lan didn't say anything. Yuan Shao said to listen to Huangfu Song, so he listened to Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song nodded. They estimated that several of their elite soldiers had already been targeted by Rome. In that case, they might as well show them openly and make the other side cautious.
The super heavy infantry is ranked high in the Roman legions and is positioned as the core legion of the Yuan family. It has very strong combat effectiveness and survivability. It is also said that if you do not have the third-level talent and military soul, it is best to avoid it by stalking and not to fight with the super heavy infantry.
The super heavy infantry can be resurrected if they die, but their elite troops cannot get up if they die. It would be too unprofitable if a fight .
Putting aside those miracle legions, few of the remaining elite Roman legions dared to say that they could definitely win against the super heavy infantry.
Even the Military Soul Corps felt a headache when they saw the concept of resurrection and becoming stronger in the super heavy infantry's talent framework. Of course, the headache did not mean that they could not fight, but they felt that such a steel-skinned hedgehog could be resurrected, which was too uncomfortable to fight.
If you're not careful, you might even suffer some free damage from the super heavy infantry, which would be very frustrating.
Of course, no matter how uncomfortable it is, the appearance of the super heavy infantry will definitely attract a large part of the Roman attention, and once it is confirmed that the super heavy infantry is alone, Rome will definitely send elite legions to try to seduce the super heavy infantry, whether they can kill them or not, and then throw them aside to determine what the other party wants to do first!
After all, in the Roman concept, super heavy infantry is one of Yuan’s core legions. When such a strange thing as super heavy infantry appears, Rome will definitely send people to find out the situation.
In this way, Ma Chao's side will be much safer, and the White Horse will have more opportunities to reap the rewards on the battlefield.
"Zhang He, go and wait somewhere farther away than Ma Chao. Someone will inform you of the time to attack!" Huangfu Song glanced at the grinning Ma Chao, and then pointed to another cavalry officer.
The main purpose is to prevent Ma Chao from attracting too much hatred. After all, the Super Heavy Infantry is an infantry corps, and there may be one or two elite corps that come to cause trouble for Ma Chao.
The white horse is good at killing small fish, but if it encounters a real elite, it can only grind them to death, and it is easy for the enemy to wait for rescue and then escape.
So he added a super heavy cavalry behind the white horse. This heavy cavalry legion was enough to kill most of the elite legions.
Anyway, how many barbarians will die on the battlefield in the north depends on Ma Chao's ability to stir up trouble. However, when Huangfu Song looked at Ma Chao, he always felt that he was a little unreliable.
He was not questioning Ma Chao's ability to stir up trouble, but he was wondering whether Ma Chao's hatred would overflow and Rome would mobilize its entire army to kill Ma Chao.
Huangfu Song, who was worried, continued to appoint his generals, intending to provide another layer of insurance.
But after looking around, I found that there seemed to be no one who could provide a backup. The Fiery Sun Cavalry had to keep an eye on the Rose Legion, and the rest of the legions seemed to be unable to hold the front line.
After thinking for a moment, Huangfu Song decided to trust himself.
"Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, listen up. I order you two to lead the Han Hu Ben to support Zhang He and wait for orders!"
When faced with undecided questions, Huangfu Song chose to trust the Five Schools of the Northern Army again, as the final masterpiece of the Han Dynasty, and specially added two good generals to the Han Tiger Guards.
After thinking it over again and again, Huangfu Song felt that as far as harassment was concerned, there should be no problem.
As for the aristocratic families, Yuan Shao is in contact with them, and there are also Murong Ke and Yang Lin on the aristocratic families' side, so he doesn't need to worry about that.
He only needs to open up a few more sub-battlefields outside the main battlefield and gradually eliminate the barbarian army.
"Everyone else, follow me and wait for the Roman army to arrive at the main battlefield!"
"Shen Pei, you will be the military advisor of our army, and you and Yuan Tan will be in charge of food and logistics." Huangfu Song looked at the silent Shen Pei, and then handed over the most important military task to Shen Pei and Yuan Tan.
There was no other way but to hand it over to Shen Pei. Xu You had devoted himself to the construction of the kingdom of God on earth, and Yuan Shao was not around. Shen Pei was the only one left who could take charge. Adding Yuan Tan to the mix could be considered a move that took appropriate measures.
Shen Pei nodded and did not refuse. If Huangfu Song could handle it himself, Shen Pei would naturally not interfere. In fact, unless it was absolutely necessary , the military advisor would generally not do it himself. Most of the time, when the problem could be solved by the commander-in-chief, the military advisor would not intervene.
"Yes!" Yuan Tan did not show any emotion. He knew that he was just a bonus, but this was what he majored in before. Now that he was able to do this, he was able to make full use of his talents.
After the meeting, Xu Rong did not leave. He had some questions he wanted to ask Huangfu Song.
"General, how far do we need to fight to be considered victorious?" Xu Rong asked Huangfu Song.
He was somewhat unable to understand Huangfu Song's intention. If they acted in this way, the Roman barbarians would certainly suffer heavy losses, but what if Rome continued to send troops at that time?
"Victory?" Huangfu Song sneered.
"You still have a lot to learn. We didn't have the slightest hope of winning from the beginning. We only have one goal, which is to drag it out until Rome and Great Britain go to war, until the Kushan Empire is destroyed!"
Huangfu Song said casually that it was Xu Rong, and he would never tell anyone else if they asked him.
"This..." Xu Rong was a little surprised, but he understood it in an instant.
"Then shouldn't our army be more cautious and conservative? Why should we make it a prerequisite to inflict heavy damage on Rome? Even if they are barbarians, they are still members of Rome, and they will inevitably face superficial difficulties from Rome!"
"The delay can only be considered successful if we fight to the extent that the Romans find it meaningful. During this process we must make the Romans feel pain, but not make them feel it is fatal. This degree is the most important." Huangfu Song did not hesitate to explain to Xu Rong.
"You mean, let the Roman citizens train their troops and inflict heavy damage on the Roman barbarians?" Xu Rong asked hesitantly.
"Of course!" Huangfu Song nodded.
"But doesn't this just fit in with Rome's vision? Isn't this aiding the enemy?" Xu Rong felt like his brain wasn't enough.
This was Rome's expectation. In order to delay Rome, the barbarians had to meet Rome's expectations. In this back and forth, what was lost was the Han Dynasty's own things.
"To win big with a small investment, what do you think these soldiers from all over the country are used for?"
Huangfu Song looked at Xu Rong helplessly. Commanding a large army was not something that could be accomplished by just having a certain level of command. If one wanted to be independent, one must have an understanding of the overall situation, a perspective that transcended the battlefield.
Either he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, instead of Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun, or Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang, in addition to his strength, it is because he is tactful and able to grasp the measure.
As a fence-sitter with very good political vision, Huangfu Song naturally understood who would be willing to place a heavy bet on this. There was no doubt that the Han Dynasty was very clear in its mind. For the group of people sitting in high positions in Luoyang, Han, they would rather let the Eastern European piece of meat be swallowed by the Yuan family than give Rome any chance.
Moreover, Huangfu Song had a premonition that he might see the Han Dynasty defeat Rome in his lifetime. He believed that Guo Hao and Chen Xi were not people who stuck to the old ways, and it was their style to put all the future events together last night.
"Oh, I was just saying I forgot something. Call the two brothers Yan Liang and Wen Chou over here!"
As he was speaking, Huangfu Song suddenly had an idea and said that he had forgotten something.
After the White Horse wiped the ground, it would be a waste if we didn’t make use of such a bloody and violent battlefield.
He had previously created a Red Blood Cavalry, which was a version of Dou Xian from Yanran Shi Le.
Based on the enemy's obsession before death, driven by blood, evil spirit, and the essence of heaven and earth, without dividing one's own beliefs, it forms a semi-virtual and semi-real entourage while ensuring its own strength.
It may be difficult to fight against the top-level legion, but this legion is very useful against small fish.
It just so happens that the battlefield after the White Horse Massacre is no different from hell. Maybe you can pick up a group of bloody followers by going there.
This thing is similar to a super heavy infantry. Even exchanging ten of them for one barbarian is a huge profit, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of these blood followers is not weak. It should be no problem to exchange a barbarian one-on-one.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that everyone has double talents in this era, and Changshui was about to be pushed off the stage of history, he wouldn't have thought of this legion at all.
The Fantasy Series legions themselves were relatively fragile, and were naturally antagonized by the Changshui Battalion. Therefore, after the final version of the Changshui Battalion was launched, the Fantasy Series talents quickly faded out of history.
But when the present era came, the fantasy was brought out again.
After all, the fact that a small fry can have dual talents seems a bit outrageous in any era.
Dou Xian's version has obvious shortcomings, and normal people would not dare to use it, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not ordinary people, so they can fully use this talent.
As long as they use their own will to bear the backlash, these will not be a problem, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou now have this ability.
It is preliminarily estimated that two people can at least withstand the backlash of 15,000 blood followers. As long as they are careful not to exceed the number of 10,000, there should be no problem. If there are more than that, they can be killed immediately.
No matter how much value can be created, it is great to be able to create value.
It is extremely useful for searching for enemies, exploring paths, and scouting. This is also the reason why the Fantasy Slayer was born. A war against the undead is of course perfect.
But unfortunately, it was naturally restrained by the Changshui Camp. This was also the reason why Changshui had never fallen out of the top five schools of the Northern Army, because a legion could restrain a talent tree.
And it is complete restraint, which can be said to be enough to make the opponent lose all meaning.
Huangfu Song now plans to trick people. He will use his blood followers to hit the Romans hard, and then wait for the Roman illusion series soldiers to come over, and then trick them hard again.
It's just that he won't use the most ruthless long water version to trap Rome. He will give Rome an illusion that he is being restrained, but he is not that restrained. It's just that his command is superb.
Great Britain is also doing this. If there is a fallout in the future, these will be foreshadowing.
In any case, Huangfu Song was well prepared. Even if the Yuan family was killed, the effect of Changshui Tianke's illusion would never be exposed.
Even if Rome and Great Britain create the ultimate version of the Fantasy Warrior, Changshui only needs to make slight adjustments to completely defeat it.
It can only be said that those who play tactics are all evil, and Huangfu Song is evil to the extreme. He not only plans to deceive Rome, but also plans to deceive the Yuan family and Great Britain.
As for whether he can succeed, that is another matter. Anyway, he is preparing for it.
Who knows when this move will become a decisive blow. Huangfu Song felt that Rome's third eagle flag was worth killing.
