Logically speaking, Jiang Ming's 150,000 troops are not a small number!
They charged into the Northern Xiongnu camp. Even if the enemy had 300,000 troops, it was still a fight of 1 against 2... The disparity in troop strength was not too great!
However, because the Northern Xiongnu quickly adjusted their state after being hit hard and held their positions, they did not show signs of defeat, and the battle between the two sides was temporarily deadlocked!
At this moment... Jiang Ming realized just how strong his opponent was!
If it weren't for my 'backstabbing' sneak attack, and instead a real, head-on confrontation, my men would never have been a match for the Northern Xiongnu warriors!
This doesn't mean that the Northern Xiongnu soldiers were particularly fierce in battle... but rather that their discipline was astonishing!
There were no orders to retreat. Even if they stood still and were hacked to death, they would not move and would maintain their formation, as if... losing their formation would bring a punishment more terrifying than death!
For an army to win, courage, determination, weaponry, tactics, and individual combat capabilities are all important!
But the most important thing is discipline!
As long as discipline is maintained, even if individual soldiers have poor combat capabilities, the entire army remains a cohesive unit, and the enemy cannot inflict devastating damage on it!
On the contrary, no matter how strong your combat power is, if everyone fights independently and there is no coordination, you still cannot bring out the advantages of the formation!
Jiang Ming could tell that the Xiongnu Chanyu Yixie'er was quite skilled in troop deployment!
The entire camp's troop deployment was well-organized, combining offense and defense!
Even if attacked from behind, they can instantly adapt and handle both internal and external threats!
Meanwhile, their own soldiers... were completely disorganized during the attack!
They were only after military merits and kills!
The Southern Xiongnu soldiers, the Xianbei Changsun tribe soldiers, and the soldiers of the Qianren tribe all committed suicide in their own way, rushing to grab heads, showing absolutely no cooperation among themselves...
If there's even the slightest chance of cooperation, then at least we won't 'kill each other'!
What's it like when a pack of dogs fight over food? What are Jiang Ming's soldiers like...?
It's not that this is bad; it can indeed be extremely lethal. But the problem is that if your troops are not a cohesive unit and lack organic coordination, and are just a bunch of reckless individuals, they still cannot unleash the full power of war!
This is also one of the biggest differences between a group fight and a war...
Jiang Ming's troops are currently in a state of chaotic brawls!
Both sides have their own "advantages".
Once the Northern Xiongnu had established a firm foothold, their fundamental 'discipline advantage'—which determined the outcome of the war—became apparent!
It can overcome deficiencies in equipment, delays in fighter jets, and various uncontrollable disadvantages...
The key point is that the Northern Xiongnu had a numerical advantage!
Even if half of them die due to momentary carelessness, the remaining half can regain their footing... relying on their strength in discipline, they can still defeat Jiang Ming's army!
As Jiang Ming watched, he began to feel uncertain...
This is the first time since my debut that I've felt like I might lose a battle while leading troops!
At this moment, if the Xianbei Khan on the mountain could send his troops to break out, the pressure on his side would be greatly reduced, and the situation would become one-sided!
However, to Jiang Ming's disappointment, his father-in-law was somewhat disloyal!
I've already sent my best troops to rescue him, but he's so useless, not even coming down the mountain to help me in battle.
Could it be... because of what the messenger said?
Surely my father-in-law isn't so stupid that he can't even see the point of "results-oriented" thinking?
As it turned out, he really did bring his troops!
Seeing that Murong Hong was unreliable and that his 150,000 men were about to capsize, Jiang Ming didn't care about anything else and immediately spurred his horse and personally took to the front lines!
His meaning was clear: relying solely on his "three clans of brutes" to fight haphazardly wouldn't amount to much. He needed to unite them into a sharp force to directly eliminate the enemy's central nervous system!
He led his 3,000 elite Dukang troops like a long arrow, shooting straight into Yixie'er's central army camp!
As the 3,000 men charged, they shouted, "The King of Chu said that beheading the Chanyu will be rewarded with gold and a title! Capture Yixie'er first, and he will be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the three races, who were busy killing and being killed at the same time, immediately abandoned the "minor monsters" around them and followed the 3,000 people straight to Yixie'er's camp!
When generals and commanders personally take to the front lines, the resulting appeal is naturally different!
The Northern Xiongnu's formation immediately fell into disarray, like a spear piercing through armor...
At this moment, Yi Xie Er also realized that the problem was serious!
But unlike other leaders... Yi Xie Er did not retreat!
Instead, he leaped onto his horse, mounted his famous Ferghana steed, wielded a long spear, and led thousands of daredevils in a head-on charge against Jiang Ming!
Although Yixie Er was the Chanyu of the Northern Xiongnu, he was also a brave and fierce general!
Although he didn't know who the pale-faced young man on horseback was, he could tell that he must be the key figure in this team!
