How awesome are the mercenaries in Shu Han?

Speaking of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, many friends have the impression that they are fighting all day. Today, you hit me, tomorrow, I hit him. Anyway, in a word, whoever fights hard enough is whose territory, so no matter how powerful the three countries are, the ultimate executor is the army.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many famous troops, such as Tiger Leopard Ride, a special force of Cao Wei camp, when chasing Liu Bei. Tiger and leopard rode for a day and a night, marched hundreds of miles, and finally caught up with Liu Bei. This Liu Bei was so scared that he lost his wife and children. Ma Chao also has a special unit, Xiliang cavalry. This cavalry is fierce. It is said that their tactics are those of ancient Rome, and they all use javelin. This cavalry once beat Cao Cao out of the water and almost lost his life. Of course there are seibel's traps. Hundreds of soldiers can defeat each other with heavy armor. There is a special force in Shu Han called Bai Erbing, who is actually Liu Bei's personal guard. His leader is director Chen. Many deeds of director Chen were not recorded because of his identity. Later, many descendants moved his records to Zhao Yun. In fact, Zhao Yun and Chen Dao are just big bodyguards around Liu Bei. Are there no other special forces besides these forces? This time, I will tell you about an army that Zhuge Liang left behind that can't fly!

Because there are no historians in Shu Han, there are relatively few historical records about Shu Han, and the records about this special unit are really lacking, but it does not affect its real existence. After Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo alive for the seventh time, he found a problem. He found that his Han army really couldn't beat the local minority army in local wars. Why? This is because farming people have always been inferior to nomadic or fishing and hunting people in combat. This statement has certain scientific truth. The farming society pays attention to guarding its own land and squatting in the field every day to watch the crops grow slowly, so its task is to defend the city rather than expand. Nomadic people are different from fishing and hunting people. They have no fixed land of their own. They don't farm. All their living resources come from the conditions that nature gives you. Nomads live on grass. People who fish and hunt usually go to places with plenty of fish, so they have no fixed place to live. Their task is to keep running farther and farther to see if there are any aquatic plants and fish, which means that their personality is constantly expanding. In the process of expansion, we met enemies and rivals. If it is not fierce enough, then this expansion is a joke. Therefore, one-on-one farming people can't resist nomadic people and fishing and hunting people when fighting. Zhuge Liang realized this. In that case. What about the soldiers of the local ethnic minorities? Now that it's settled, why don't you disperse these people without fighting and let them go home? If one day a troublemaker comes out and shouts, let's rebel. What if these people come back? These people can't stay, so they can't. Is there any way to solve it? One way is to kill, kill clean, the second way is for your own use, and the first way is impossible. You kill two people 100 and stand up, and the hatred is getting deeper and deeper, so Zhuge Liang's idea is to gather these people together as his own army. As for these troops, where does his salary come from? Why are local tyrants willing to give money to support this army? It's also very simple. Only if we pay for the troops, then we are the people of the country, and these troops protect our interests. They received our money, so they are willing to pay. As for those soldiers who are about to be laid off and unemployed, they are actually happy and don't know what to do when they go home. Since someone is paying, why not go back to your old job? Besides, using our own people to manage our own territory is equivalent to using our own people to control our own territory. They are all local people and know the local situation very well, so there are fewer opportunities for conflicts with local people. In this way, as long as you are willing, this unit will be established.

The army, clad in armor, climbed mountains and climbed mountains like a flat ground. The bows and arrows in their hands are strong crossbows and poisonous arrows. These soldiers are invincible when they go out to fight. This time the army is invincible, the so-called flying army! In other words, no one can stop them in front of them. The nickname is fast running, so their name is Flying Army! This army has made great contributions in the history of Shu and Han dynasties. The commander of their first legion is Wang Ping. I believe many people know the word Wang Ping and Zijun. He is also a boor with few words, but he is very nice. He knows his own shortcomings and deficiencies, so his personality is very stable and introverted, and he doesn't talk much at ordinary times.

What's the record of this man leading the flying army? The first record was the Lost Street Pavilion. Zhuge Liang had high hopes for Ma Su at that time. Holding the street pavilion is tantamount to nailing a nail in the territory of Cao Wei in the north. This place has been held, and it will be much more convenient to go to the Northern Expedition in the future. Cao Wei could be killed at any time. Cao Wei also knew that if this place was not taken back, there would be wolves in his backyard, so he tried his best to eat the street pavilion. Masu happens to be a bookworm with rich theoretical knowledge. In fact, if this person is a staff officer, he will wait for a while. When Zhuge Liang was in Pingnan Middle School, the ethnic policy was put forward by Ma Su. However, strong theoretical knowledge does not mean that he will practice. If he led the troops to fight, he was Xiao Bai, but he just did what he learned from books and lost the street pavilion. Lost street kiosks, Shu Han army defeated. The patrol, led by Wang Ping, fought hard and tied each other's situation with bows and arrows. At the same time, suspected soldiers were sent to beat drums on the hills, which made Cao Wei's army think that this was the reinforcements of Shu Han, and did not dare to chase hard, so that the main force slowly retreated. In fact, in this battle, the flying army led by Wang Ping suffered little loss. This is the first time that the flying army has made efforts.

In a blink of an eye, Zhuge Liang's fourth northern expedition came. During the fourth Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang wanted to attack Sima Yi's camp, only taking Qishan, but appointed Wang Ping as the deputy division and stationed elsewhere. The army led by Wang Ping is still incompetent. However, Sima Yi saw through the idea. Sima Yi sent Zhang Hexian to eat Wang Ping's army. Eat this army and outflank Zhuge Liang's main force later. Supposedly, this tactic is very deadly. It's just that Sima Yi never imagined that Zhang He he sent was really fierce, and the flying army led by him was even more fierce. He kept resisting each other's attacks. And the battle has entered a stalemate because of their deadly battle. Great, Zhuge Liang has breached the Qishan Dazhai, and Sima Yi's stronghold can't be kept. This time, Wang Ping's flying army won as soon as it saw the main force there. Why don't I rush out and pick up bargains here So these flying troops rushed out bravely and directly beheaded thousands of Wei Jun of Zhang He, turning defeat into victory! Once again, it shows the bravery and invincibility of the flying army. Some friends may ask, this time the invincible flying army can win, is it because he is not facing the main force of Wei Jun? Wrong, because Zhuge Liang was able to break through Sima Yi's stronghold in time, indicating that Sima Yi sent the main force to Zhang He, and Zhang He ate Wang Ping first. This is the strategic plan. At that time, there were only 3000 soldiers flying without authorization, and they faced 20 times their Cao Wei army, that is to say, not one against ten, but one against twenty! In this case, they can still win. Do you think they are effective? It is precisely because of the wonderful performance of this mercenary that Zhuge Liang won a great victory in the first Northern Expedition. In fact, this core elite force has been playing an important role in Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang died in Wuzhangyuan after the failure of the last Northern Expedition. Brave as he was, he didn't cause a decisive battle.

The record of this unparalleled flying army is clearly recorded in Huayang National Records, which gives a high evaluation! His ending was actually tragic. His default officer's name is Zhang Ben. Zhang Ben also stayed in the south of China for 15 years, which greatly promoted the local ethnic policy. At the last stop, he led 5000 flying troops to fight to the death with the enemy. Wei Jun is more than twice as big as himself, and history books say "kill twice as many enemies". They are just like himself. Although it had the title of flying army, it later played a role in the defense of Yangpingguan. But the image of the whole army has disappeared from history. This is also the tragic ending of this elite mercenary force.
