The infantry Jiefan thought that showing his thick legs could scare Wang Hou, but he didn't know that his mouth had leaked the military situation in advance.

It is very important to know in advance that the other side’s coach is so important! Especially for Wang Hou, who has played a lot of games in the Three Kingdoms, and for the catchy time traveler who has studied American Wolf!

…………

On the third day after reconciling the battle between Fanwei, Sun Wu's army arrived as promised.

Amid the sound of footsteps on the soft plains, under the Piling City, the farmers who were traveling to transport grain, had already stepped on a flat field, and teams of neat Wu troops appeared in front of Piling City.

It is said that you know yourself and your enemy, but for Wang Hou, Wu Jun is also a mysterious existence!

The three kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty had their own strengths. The Wei Kingdom was strong in the powerful border cavalry regiment and the extremely large number of infantry teams. The Shu army was stronger than the mountain infantry, and the Wu army was stronger than the navy. However, no matter whether it was the official history or chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, they did not pay much attention to the Eastern Wu. Compared with the catchy Five Tiger Generals and the Five Sons, the Eastern Wu seemed to always be a supporting role, which made people unable to see the full face in the hazy way.

Even Wang Hou, who traveled through time in later generations, this was the first time he witnessed the full picture of Wu Jun.

Well-trained!

This is Wang Hou’s first evaluation of Wu Jun!

The main force of Sun Wu was the Danyang soldiers, and this army was also very effective under the command of Tao Qian, Liu Bei and Liu Yao. Danyang is Anhui in later generations. The terrain is mountainous, the plains are narrow, and the terrain is dangerous. There are many mountains and mountains in the mountains and the Han people who bear taxes. In order to compete for survival resources, the clans fought continuously, thus creating this strong source of troops.

Before joining the army, these Wu troops may have experienced many small wars between clans. Although the array was not as neat and uniform as the Qingzhou Army, the Wu army composed of clan tribes was definitely at the top.

Among the few records of them in history books, another particularly big feature of this army is the sword and shield!

There is a way that is long in the north and short in the south. It is located in the south of the Yangtze River. The living environment is crisscrossing, and the plains are densely covered with water and humid and hot. Most of the infantry in Jiangdong are equipped with short weapons. Even if Sun Jian went north to participate in the fight against the Yellow Turbans and Dong Zhuo, a series of wars that attacked Dong Zhuo absorbed some combat characteristics of northern infantry. The proportion of spearmen in the Wu army was still not large. There were only one or two layers in the front row, and most of them were swords and shields. Later, there were light soldiers covering the back formation, forming a battle formation of about four hundred people.

Compared to joining the regular Wu army in the mountains, the armor-wrapped rate of Danyang soldiers was increased. The armor-wrapped rate was about 60% of the armor-wrapped ones, and only the light infantry behind were wearing cloth-clothed military uniforms. However, the Wu army was equipped with buffalo leather armor, holding a Wu Gou Scimitar in one hand, and a large shield made of buffalo leather in the other hand.

The size of this shield is almost as big as the northern slut shield, but compared with the resistance line, it resists the impact of cavalry and chariots. The slut shields made of heavy wood are much lighter while the leather shields are large in area.

This part of the Wu army vaguely reminded Wang Hou of another Western army with great military achievements, the Roman Legion! It was just that the javelins used by the Romans for long-range weapons, and the bamboo bows used by the south of the Yangtze River were many bamboo forests, and the bamboo bows used by the Wu army were not much different from the bamboo bows that day when Jiefan soldiers fought between the two reeds.

Later generations recorded that there were many archers in Eastern Wu. Although the bamboo craftsman's performance was far less than that of the Northern Bow, the advantage was that the materials were too easy to take! 40% of the light infantry, and the bow was one bow, and the bow rate was far better than that of Cao Jun!

However, compared with the Wu Zixu and Wu army who attacked the Yingdu of Chu six hundred years ago and almost destroyed the Chu state, and the Wu Chunan army who formed Xiang Yu's main infantry more than 300 years ago, this army did not develop much in terms of equipment or tactics.

After all, for more than 300 years, except for the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and the Battle of Emperor Wu of Han to the Southern Yue, there were basically no major wars in the south, but the north was constantly confronting the powerful Huns, from the Linzhong Donghu in Liaodong to the 36 countries in the Western Regions, especially in the recent chaos in the late Han Dynasty, in frequent wars, the war skills of the northern army should be more pure.

Moreover, the Northern Army has an absolute overwhelming advantage over the Southern Army, Maduo!

Indeed, the swamps and reed marshes everywhere are no longer big valleys, which is really not suitable for the primitive horse raising industry.

Well-trained, good at melee combat, many bows! Light armor! Almost no cavalry! This is Wang Hou’s first impression of this Wu army!

As the first Wu army formation entered the battlefield, Zhou Yu's strategic skills were also reflected. In later generations, American Wolfs should be a good investment expert and are well aware of the principle of not putting eggs in one basket. The total number is not as expected by Wang Hou. There were about 20,000 Wu soldiers coming, but Zhou Yu also divided them into five units, with each of the four units on the left and right. The central army was particularly thick, with about 8,000, and the distance between the military formations was wider than that of the northern army formations.

Not to mention, the cross-section of the military formation is extremely large, and it is visually full of people and has many people. The flags are everywhere, which is scary. Compared with the Wu army, Wang Hou's more than 10,000 troops under the Piling City Walled City were only one-third of the Wu army.

This array method is also related to the national conditions of the Eastern Wu. Compared with the large army formation of Cao Wei and even the Shu Han, the soldiers belong to different countries. The Eastern Wu military system is more feudal, very similar to the medieval West!

After all, the Sun family did not have as famous and connected with Yuan, who had four generations and three generations, and even Cao Cao, who was behind the eunuchs, so in the process of Sun Ce's establishment of the Eastern Wu, they could only use their kindness and power to local clans, and could not completely deprive them of their military power. Therefore, most of the Wu army was composed of soldiers from aristocratic families such as Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Taishi Ci, Ling Cao, etc.

The dispersion of command is not a good thing. Forcibly gathering the army together, it cannot be twisted into a fist. Therefore, the Wu army's formation is usually the soldiers of such families who are thought of as neighbors gather together to expand the array space so that each formation can be freely exerted.

This military idea continued throughout the entire Eastern Wu, when Sun Quan conquered Hefei and Zhuge Ke in the Northern Expedition, and even until the demise of the Wu Kingdom, Lu Xun's grandson Lu Ji led the troops of King Sima Ying of Chengdu to fight against the Qilijian of King Sima Yi of Changsha. Lu Ji also formed a 30-mile joint camp, which was in a mighty and advanced in unison.

Amid the sound of golden drums, the Wu army's array lasted for about 30 minutes. During this period, Wang Hou did not send troops to harass him, but was just waiting for the battle. In the calm and tense confrontation, four hundred meters outside Piling Village, the Wu army set up the formation, and then there was another rapid sound of golden drums. The few dozens of Wu army's rare cavalry came to the front of the central main formation with war horses.

A large Zhou flag fluttered in the morning breeze. The far-leaning general was wearing a golden helmet and a gorgeous golden silk leaf armor. On his shoulders, two huge shoulder guard wings hung down. It seemed that he was not fighting in person. His outfit was so handsome.

What made Wang Hou even more jealous and depressed was that this guy lived up to Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang's reputation. His little face with a mustache was like the tough guy who was the protagonist of the TV series in later generations. His face looked so handsome that he looked so fuckingly.

Much more handsome than the Muslim in a certain state!!

Just like Wang Hou's eyes on Wu Jun, he looked at the "Shanyue Army" in front of him! Zhou Yu also frowned and glanced. After about two or three minutes of confrontation, Zhou Yu actually carried his war horse and led his personal cavalry to move forward for more than 50 meters. At the same time, he shouted at the top of his voice, shouting at Wang Houjun's formation in extremely standard northern official language.

"Which Black Mountain leader is the one who comes? Are you willing to go to Zhou Yu for a while?"
