Chapter 228 The Truth of Military Strategy
In fact, many soldiers who have reached double talents are not normal in Chen Xi's eyes. Some soldiers like the Sharp Warriors can strike more than ten swords in a second. According to that speed, they can leave afterimages or something. As a result, the Sharp Warriors can strike you with the power of more than ten swords, but in fact the sword-drawing speed is not that big of a deal.
The Shield Guard is the type of soldier that can bring this outrageous phenomenon back on track, and it also gives him hope for the surge of soldiers and crushing the enemy.
He asked Huangfu Song to try it out with an old warrior, who could make eighteen cuts in one second and barely cut the shield open. However, the warrior who could make eighteen cuts could forcibly exchange the military soul.
The old warrior who didn't believe in evil asked for a real person to try. Wang Yue used a secret method to make a dummy , which was almost at the level of a double-talented soldier. After the old warrior chopped, his own sword broke, and the double-talented shield guard was seriously injured.
After Chen Xi saw the evaluation results, he was completely excited. What a perfect type of soldier! This type of soldier is the trump card specially prepared for the rush of crushing troops.
For Chen Xi, who is in the initial integration of Central Plains, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Shield Guards were really to his liking. In Chen Xi's opinion, Shield Guards were the evergreen troops he needed.
It is much better than the Central Guards which are overhauled every year. Is it necessary to order so many versions of archer units like Changshui and Shesheng?
In Chen Xi's opinion, an archer only needs a little power and a bit of speed to do the job. What's the use of things like cloud arrows? Could it be that he is short of arrows?
If ten million arrows are not enough, then use 100 million. If 100 million is not enough, then use 1 billion. As for arrows, you can have as many as you want.
The money and food of hundreds of millions of people circulated in his hands, so for Chen Xi, providing equipment for one million shield guards was just a matter of giving an order.
This is also the reason why Guo Hao planned to let Huangfu Song go before, because Chen Xi kept talking about the importance of Huangfu Song every day, which made Guo Hao really think that Huangfu Song was very important and he planned to let Huangfu Song go.
After all, Huangfu Song is neither high nor low in the Temple of Martial Arts, but his actual ability has reached the edge of the Ten Sages. As for those above him, there are big guys everywhere, and he, Huangfu Song, has to queue up again. After all, among the Seventy-Two Generals in the Temple of Martial Arts, there is a big devil like Bai Qi, and he is really not good enough.
Moreover, Huangfu Song was a local resident of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was strengthened by the game system. Han Shizhong was also a Martial Temple player, but there was a gap between the two sides. You can't say that Huangfu Song was one of the four buried saints like Bai Qi, right?
It can only be said that Huangfu Song benefited from his local household registration, at least in this world he is comparable to the Ten Sages.
However, due to Huangfu Song's suicide, Guo Hao was determined to exile Huangfu Song. At most, for Chen Xi's sake, he would exile his entire family, allowing him to enjoy his old age while being squeezed dry of their value.
Anyway, there are many people at the same level as the Ten Sages of the Temple of Martial Arts, and there are also many at the same level as the Four Saints. At worst, Han Shizhong can just play with the cultivation. There is nothing to be afraid of with five seeds of the Temple of Martial Arts in hand, including Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Zhang Liao, Deng Ai, and Zhou Yu. Moreover, Guo Hao is 100% sure that the complete Zhuge Liang is definitely stronger than Huangfu Song.
What? You strengthened?
I also have a local hukou, so I will strengthen it too.
However, the development cycle is too long, and we don’t know if we can wait for more than ten years or even decades.
Guo Hao could only pray that Zhuge Liang would grow up just like Zhou Yu one day.
Chen Xi was very satisfied with the shield guards. A set of armor and a large shield cost about 1.5 million coins. A standard legion had 6,000 people. Taking into account weapon etching and other things, it would cost 10 billion coins to arm a legion.
However, for Chenxi, all these are just a transfer from one hand to the other. With this workload, he can use it to open a few factories and recruit more jobs to create more wealth value. Not only did Chen Xi not lose money, he might even have made a small profit.
Cost has become extremely cheap in Chen Xi's hands. From mining to molding, it is an integrated industrial chain. Workers earn money, the treasury gets more money, and when goods are circulated, the treasury continues to get more money. It is completely a case of enriching the people and strengthening the country.
What is nonsense? Only when the people are rich can the country be rich, and only when the country is rich can the people be rich. The correct way forward is for both the country and the people to be rich together.
For Chen Xi, the most troublesome thing is how to increase grain production. After all, all the economic order he established is based on abundant grain. If the grain is withdrawn, his economic cycle will collapse directly, even worse than before.
Although there were high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the soil fertility was locked, so food could be grown, famine was far from leaving the Han Empire. In fact, it became more and more serious with the improvement of the economic level. After all, after being full, human beings will always move towards eating better.
The food research program initiated by Chen Xi perfectly prolonged this process, but it is ultimately a one-legged journey, and only the combination of meat and vegetables can completely solve the problem. This is also the focus of Chen Xi's recent work, the livestock breeding program and the northern grassland development program.
However, for Chen Xi, those so-called processes only need to be resolved within a hundred years. The situation is so good that he has the leisure time to study the matter of military branches.
He was still brooding over the Battle of Hulao Pass. Although the Ming Hu had a great advantage, they were forced to take firm control by the rising Yuan Shao. Although they escaped danger in the end, he still felt a little insecure.
He really likes the shield guard, a type of soldier with extremely high safety. Crushing the enemy with ease is the best way to go. It is simply a mental disorder to intrigue and show off skills when you can obviously push the enemy with ease. Simplifying the problem is Chen Xi's usual way of thinking.
Of course, Chen Xi was not so naive as to think that a single shield guard could conquer the world. Some bald eagles joined forces with the coalition forces of 16 nations, and coordinated the three armed forces of navy, army and air force, but were defeated by millet and rifles. There is no absoluteness in this matter.
However, Chen Xi only uses shield guards as the main combat force in the general direction, and the rest depends on generals like Huangfu Song.
After all, tanks also need long-range strike capabilities, air fire support, and the coordination of infantry who can go up mountains and down seas to dominate the battlefield.
This was not because Chen Xi had a high level of awareness, but because Huangfu Song found a veteran soldier with heavy weapons who had mastered power strikes, penetration strikes, and penetrating strikes to demonstrate. The virtual shield guard only lasted three hits before suddenly dying.
The restraint of heavy weapons on heavy armor is still obvious, but relatively speaking, this kind of heavy weapon is suppressed by long-range attacks. Changshui's arrows are empty, and a row of these low-armor and high-attack soldiers can be killed.
This restraint chain cannot be said to be absolute, it depends on how the main general uses it.
The same million shield guards are at two extremes in Chen Xi's hands and in Huangfu Song's hands. The latter can easily beat the former. This is the difference in command strength.
Chen Xi felt extremely sorry about this. The soldiers' hard quality would not increase with the economic growth. Otherwise, he would let Huangfu Song understand what the real flat-push and crushing flow meant. This was the essence of military strategy, using the strong to bully the weak.
From ancient times to the present, there are only a few cases of the few defeating the many, and more often the many crush the few.
