Chapter 380: The Gentleman's Golden Drum (Twenty-one)

New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks

The judgment was decided, and Yue Wang Phong immediately ordered that the troops that had already been deployed on the left flank of the righteous division and the Chinese army continued to attack, but the archers were transferred to the middle army and prepared to follow to the left flank.

The whole army of the Gentlemen also abandoned the plan to attack the junction of the left flank of the righteous division and turned to the right flank of the righteous division.

Because of the lack of frontal relations, the Vietnamese could use the troops that continued to maintain the attack on the left flank of the Yishi and the Chinese army, about 15,000 people.

Some of the previously routed and retreating troops were still retracting, and the routed troops on the left flank were finally intercepted and regrouped after retreating for 200 paces, but they had no desire to fight.

Nearly 3,000 archers, 6,000 Junzi soldiers, more than 6,000 cannon fodder apprentices, plus some death row prisoners and slaves, a total of nearly 20,000, rearranged the Chinese army, maintained a wide front, and strived to break through the Junzi army in the center and crush the right flank of the righteous division in one fell swoop.

It is extremely dangerous to change formations in the immediate formation, but Yue Wang Phong is gambling, and the left flank and the Chinese army of the Gambling Division are indeed a group of soldiers who have been frozen for several formations, and they can only defend but not attack.

…………

The change of the formation of the Yue people also fell into the eyes of Shi who stood on a high place, and at the same time, he was a little puzzled, and at the same time, in order to give the Yue people a better opportunity to assemble, he ordered the nine cannons of the Chinese army to stop firing, and gave the Yue people a more perfect opportunity to change the formation and rectify.

He was waiting for the results.

On the right flank, he was not afraid, Meng Sheng had already stopped attacking, so he stayed on the hillside according to the previous plan, making the illusion of reorganizing the team to attack again, but in fact it still did not move.

Therefore, he is not afraid that the right wing will be besieged by the Yue people, and he needs to see what the Yue people want to do.

When the left flank of the righteous division and the Yue people opposite the Chinese army launched an attack again, when the flag behind the Yue army began to move to the right, Shi's heart was pounding, and he almost couldn't support himself to sit on the ground, holding on to his crumbling body.

This battle is too important, it is related to his future status in the Mo family, related to the settlement of internal disputes in the Mo family, and also related to the future of the Mo family.

The incident that he was most worried about when Yue Wang Phong gave up the left wing and fled finally did not happen, which is a great luck. In fact, he made a lot of mistakes in the deployment before the war, especially on the left wing and the side of the Chinese army, which was too ruthless, so ruthless that he was very worried that Yue Wang Phong would turn around and slip away when he saw the situation clearly.

If Yue Wang Phong wants to slip away, he will not send people to attack again.

If Yue Wang Phong wants to continue to choose the Chinese army and the left flank as the breakthrough point, then he will not temporarily change the formation.

It is very likely that Yue Wang Phong took the bait and was ready to kill his right flank, and use these cannon fodder of the left wing and the Chinese army to exchange the rout of the right flank of the righteous division.

He judged that Yue Wang Phong might have seen that the left flank and the central army of the righteous division only had defensive capabilities and no offensive capabilities.

Shi is also gambling.

The bet is that Yue Wang Phong is indeed preparing to attack the right flank of the Yi Division, rather than preparing for an orderly retreat, otherwise he can now order the whole army to attack in order to achieve a relatively large victory, although not encirclement and annihilation, instead of letting the Yue people go.

But for Shi, unless it is a war of annihilation, there is not much difference between a big victory and a small victory, so he would rather take the risk that the Yue people are preparing to assemble and slip away, and bet that this time the Yue people are preparing to attack the right wing of the righteous division.

So just a moment after the Yue people's banners were scattered, Shi Shi excitedly called the herald: "Quickly tell Meng Sheng that the Yue people have taken the bait, and the two brigades and cavalry will quickly withdraw!" ”

His original plan was to leave three brigades on the right flank, while the remaining three brigades and cavalry would go around the left flank, taking advantage of the local advantage and the mobility of the rebel division after the change of the military system to complete the outflanking.

But the previous plan was made under the condition that the Vietnamese attacked the Chinese army and only divided their forces to support their left flank.

Now it seems that the Yue people have abandoned the tactics of breaking through in the center, and instead turned to their own right flank, if they want to form a situation of fighting more and fighting less, then they need to leave four brigades as defense.

Originally thought to be the most dangerous chariot impact, now it seems that there is no problem, after winning once, the righteous infantry has a psychological advantage, no longer afraid, can fully support the Yue people who have lost more than half of the chariot soldiers.

The most elite brigade of the Mo family as a reserve, there is no need to use it as a defense at all, and the brigade in his own hands can also be pulled to the left flank, plus the two brigades that have been withdrawn, five hundred cavalry.

In this way, it only needs to hold out for another half an hour, and there are four elite brigades, eleven cannons, and 500 cavalry on his left flank, which can completely defeat the right flank of the Yue people and complete the encirclement.

It may take a total of one and a half hours from the time the order is given now, to the start of maneuvering, and then to the completion of the encirclement by breaking through the right flank of the Vietnamese, which requires the four brigades on the right flank to fully support the main force and elite attack of the Viet Cong.

There was no problem with the command over there, once Meng Sheng led the people to withdraw, the remaining commanders of the enemy had already been drawn up, and an old Mo of the Sixth Brigade would serve as the commander, and the internal representative committee members would take command after the death of the brigade commander of the Sixth Brigade.

Not long after he gave the order, an ink artist who was in charge of observing the movements of the Yue people pointed to the banner of the Yue people on the opposite side and said, "The archers of the Yue people have regrouped and are assembling towards the center. ”

Another person next to him reported: "The collapsed left wing of the Viet Cong is also converging and moving in the direction of the water." ”

Shi nodded, observed for a while, and finally reassured.

The impact of the Chinese army and the left-wing Vietnamese people is no longer meaningless, and it cannot be shaken in the slightest bit, and now the impact is at most anxious.

He and Gongzaoye still have two brigades in their hands as reserves, if they hold until Meng Sheng and others move here, then they can join the attack on the left flank, if they can't hold these two brigades as reserves, they can still throw in and confront the Yue people.

The situation has become clear, and all victory or defeat depends on whether the right flank of the righteous division can collapse after Meng Sheng's two brigades and cavalry maneuver to the left flank to launch an attack.

Shi secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and ordered loudly: "Let the artillery bombard the Chinese army of the Yue people, and delay the assembly of the Yue people!" ”

He thought to himself that he could only help here, and whether the right wing could withstand the attack of the main force of the Yue people depended on the performance of the right wing itself.

Now I can't save and can't save myself, let alone command from a distance, I can only look at the veterans trained over the years, the inkers in those companies, and the tactical use of a whole set of muskets, spears and cannons.

The Yue people did not have cavalry, so there were many fewer possibilities for accidents.

…………

Right wing of the righteous teacher.

Standing on a high place, the six fingers had already seen the movement of the Yue people clearly, and he called someone to suggest to Meng Sheng: The situation is clear, there is no need to wait, you can directly lead people to withdraw.

He has the right to suggest.

The military formation is not a playhouse, once it moves, it is difficult to stop, and the moment of changing the formation is also the most chaotic time.

At this time, if there was a cavalry of 2,000 people on the right flank, it could completely disperse the 10,000-strong army of the Yue people in one fell swoop.

Therefore, as soon as the military formation moves, it means that the Yue people have taken the bait.

He could see that Meng Sheng could also see that when the six assigned heralds suggested Meng Sheng, Meng Sheng also sent people to immediately convene the brigade commanders and brigade representatives of each brigade in accordance with the organizational procedures to discuss the plan.

Everyone gathered not far away, the nearest Yue people were still a mile away, more than ten people bumped heads, Meng Sheng said first: "Six fingers suggested, the Yue people have moved, we can follow the established plan to detour." I agree. ”

There would be less nonsense in this kind of decision-making.

While speaking, the Chinese army of the Yue people was bombarded once by the nine cannons of the Chinese army of the righteous division, and the six fingers said: "Since the Chinese army that bombarded the Yue people, it seems that our judgment is correct, but the herald has not yet arrived." One step early, we have the advantage early. ”

When the rest of the people saw this, they immediately voted, and after half of them agreed, they said, "Then organize a defense immediately?" ”

At times like these, every minute counts. The sooner the roundabout troops move, the more favorable the situation will be, and the less pressure there will be on the right flank to stay and hold on.

After a vote, it was immediately agreed that the commander of the Sixth Brigade, the oldest of the qualifications, would be at the command of the three remaining brigades.

From the day the volunteer teacher was established, the effects of the queue shift of the full-time training finally appeared at this moment.

The commanders of the brigades gave the order after they quickly returned to their units, and the companies that were originally on the second line quickly replaced the companies of the brigades that were originally on the first line and needed to withdraw from the detours.

The company commanders of each company gave an order, and the commander of Sima conveyed that with one Sima and 25 people as a column, eight people formed a line, quickly changed the formation, and completed the handover.

The three brigades, which were supposed to make a roundabout, quickly regrouped, abandoned the offensive formation, and quickly adjusted in a marching column of eight, and completed the transformation from the deployment formation to the marching formation on the side of the hillside at a speed that would have been shocked if the Yue King saw it.

The cavalry had already retreated, followed by the infantry brigade, and the sound of the snare drums and flutes came and went.

If the change of formation is the most dangerous moment on the battlefield, then the change of formation on the right flank of the righteous division only takes one-fifth or even less of the time.

Originally, there were two brigades that were basically on the second line, and it was only necessary to replace one brigade in the front row, alternately covering to create a false impression that the main forces were all there, so as not to let the Vietnamese people find out.

When the three brigades were assembled and were about to march, the heralds arrived on horseback, with the order to take only two brigades back and leave one brigade behind.

Meng Sheng immediately ordered the rearmost brigade to stay, while the remaining two brigades formed a marching formation, quickly maneuvering towards the left flank along the blind spot under the hillside.

The previous vote on the organization before the battle, and the strategic concept clearly stated before the start of the war, bought the righteous division more than a quarter of an hour. A quarter of an hour on the battlefield is extremely precious.

Leaving behind four brigades of nearly 6,000 men, twenty-five small cannons, and no cavalry, the right flank left about a mile of roundabout space for the Yue people, which was all the manpower of the right flank of the righteous division.

With one-fifth of the troops, contain the main force that attracted the Yue people, and hold on to the left flank of the righteous division to complete the outflanking, this is the task they face.

Several brigade commanders and brigade representatives met again, and at this time, the situation on the side of the Vietnamese became clearer and clearer.

The Chinese army was shelled by the righteous division, and the speed of the assembly was a little slow, but the assembly was basically completed.

The originally dispersed left flank of the Viet Cong was marching towards the side of the Lushui and seemed to be preparing to outflank the right flank of the four brigades.

It seems that the archers and elite gentlemen of the Yue people are still preparing to attack from the front, because of the hillside, only the front can deploy so many troops.

How to defend it has become the agreed goal of this pre-war meeting.

Thinking of the many examples mentioned earlier, after evaluating the combat effectiveness of the Yue people, Six Fingers proposed: "The Yue people are ready to rely on those people before to envelop us from the right flank. I suggest that in this way, our 7th Brigade is placed on the right flank. ”

"Twenty-five small guns, ten of which were divided into fronts, and the remaining fifteen were deployed behind our brigade."

He pointed to a position on the right side and said: "When the time comes, several of our spearman companies will block in front of the artillery, and if the Vietnamese attack, the spearmen will quickly disperse, and fire a volley of artillery and musketeers, a salvo will be enough to make the Yue people on the right flank fearful, and the foot soldiers will counterattack and repel the threat of the right flank." ”

"Then those fifteen guns don't need to move, they just need our brigade to maneuver forward, and after repelling the threat from the right flank, they can outflank the Yue, and those fifteen guns only need to turn to bombard the Yue."

"The threat on the right flank is lifted, and we can divide four companies to storm the rout, prevent them from gathering, and expel them from the battlefield. The remaining six companies joined the battle from the flanks to the front. ”

"The more people want to wrap us, we will wrap them in turn! The Vietnamese army formation is not the same as ours, scattered and gapy, and the more ruthless the pressure, the more advantageous our spearmen are, and the more their sword-wielding gentlemen cannot be used. ”
