Chapter 852: Formation Breaker
If this matter spreads, I am afraid that Princess Tuoba and Lin Chong will be affected, and even countless **** soldiers will be stimulated.
In the hot July, even if the wind comes, I want to bake in the fire, the sun beats on the face, revealing chapped lips, on the south bank of the Yellow River, the barracks stretch for ten miles. On the 29th of July, I don't know if God made a joke, it turned out to be cloudy, the sky was dull, and there was a rain coming down at any time. On this rainy day, a total of 30,000 Chai soldiers and horses approached the Fengling Ferry from the two directions of Fenglei Town and Zhongtiao Mountain, and the great war finally came.
"Report ...... Report... The rebels dispatched troops and horses from Fenglei Town and Hangu Pass, with a total of more than 30,000 people on the east and west sides, and they were already approaching the Fenglingdu defense line for less than 20 miles. The scout came galloping, sweating profusely. Zhao Yougong, Dongfang Jin and others immediately discussed, and finally decided to agree with Pang He to send troops to meet the battle. This is the first battle, and it can't be coerced no matter what, and even if it can't be won, it can't be retreated without a fight. The entire Fenglingdu front line will be mainly defensive, and the next battle may be very depressing, but this first battle will boost morale, but it can't weaken the prestige. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Dongfang Jin also ordered Guan Sheng and Yang Zhi, who were stationed on the north bank, to respond, even if this battle could not be completely won, Pang He could be guaranteed to retreat.
Pang He is a fierce general in Guanzhong, although he has not participated in the Central Plains War, but he is also prestigious, this man from the Liao Dynasty, in terms of commanding battles is no less than Yelu Dashi. In Xiao Zhiyun's words, Pang He's use of soldiers is more vigorous and resolute, he uses soldiers, not the courage of soldiers, but the courage of battle formations, often taking advantage of changes in battle formations. Creates a strong oppressive force on the enemy. At this point, even Xiao Zhiyun is ashamed of herself. If there were no these, Pang He, a Khitan, would not have been in a high position as soon as he arrived in Guanzhong, still above Yang Zaixing and Wu Jue. Pang He is a god-like man, and the battlefield is everything to him. The first battle was fought with Pang He. It is imperative to set **** for the opening battle. Chai also knows the importance of this battle, so Chai Yonghao personally supervised the battle, even if he can't win, he must not lose. There are many soldiers and horses in the Chai family, but in terms of commanding generals, they are far from being able to compare with Ding****, especially the grassroots generals, and the quality is far worse. Chai Yonghao and Chai Keyan knew their own strengths and weaknesses, so they ordered all departments to concentrate as much as possible at the beginning. More than 30,000 people formed a tight long array. More than 30,000 people are concentrated in a large formation, which is very rare in ancient times, and this means that there are no wings, no forward, no impact, and no change and flexibility. But Chai Yonghao also had no way to play the formation in front of the ****. That is to look for death. The **** battle formation is sharp, and it should be well-trained for the soldiers under his command. After a long period of training, I have today's such as an arm command. On my own side, the quality of the soldiers is uneven, and the grassroots generals and schools are not good, and if you have to deal with the sharp battle formation, you will definitely be in a hurry when the time comes, so it is better to concentrate them all. Stupid is a little stupid, but very safe. 30,000 people form a large array, which means that more than 30,000 people can only exert the effect of 15,000 people. With so many people forming a large array, the people inside are destined to be unable to participate in the battle, but Chai Yonghao doesn't care. Even if these people help shout and use them as reserves, in short, the bottom line of this battle is that they cannot be defeated.
The long formation of 30,000 people slowly approached Fenglingdu with neat steps, and under the dim sky, they had the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, and they also had the strength to devour everything. Seeing tens of thousands of Chai soldiers and horses coming slowly, Pang He, who was holding a clairvoyant mirror, frowned tightly. More than 30,000 people gathered together, it is a little incredible, this kind of strange tactics is rare in the ages, but Pang He knows that this ridiculous tactics is the most practical at the moment, who makes the **** famous ancient town cavalry left? Now the only one that still has combat effectiveness is the more than 6,000 cavalry left by Yang Zaixing's department, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the Chai clan sees that there is no cavalry available, so he dares to put on this kind of Iron King Eight Formation. The Iron King's Eight Formations look ridiculous, and it seems that you can attack everywhere, but you will have a hard time penetrating them. Pang He had a headache for a while, he didn't want to return in vain, he took the initiative to ask for help, but he didn't want to end in a draw. He and Niu Gao, Han Shizhong and others live together in a high position, and those people have all proved it, only he Pang He has not commanded any major battles so far, this is his chance for Pang He to prove himself. The more invulnerable, the more you want to dig a hole in front of this Iron King.
"Send someone to the back to transfer Guan Sheng up, just say what Ben will say, let him lead people over" Pang He's eyes revealed a trace of firmness, this battle, he must play his prestige and tell everyone that he Pang He's ability to dominate the high position in the capital is by no means dependent on His Royal Highness's love. Soon Guan Sheng led his troops to the front line, and the Chai army had already stopped dozens of zhang in front, only listening to the rumbling of drums, and the formation was terrifying. Pang He was not afraid, holding his sword in both hands, and staring ahead, "Wu Song, Luda, you two lead four thousand foot soldiers to attack from the front, remember one thing, after touching the rebel formation, take it, and never attack hard." If the enemy does not come out, he will attack repeatedly, and if the enemy divides his forces and entangles, he will drag it out to death. ”
"Hu Yanzhuo listens to the order, when the enemy divides his troops and fights with Wu Song's department, let the enemy army besiege Wu Song's department, your department must take the opportunity to cut in from the gap, don't care about Wu Song and Luda's department, do everything possible to cut the enemy's formation!" Hu Yanzhuo's department can be said to be the only 3,000 cavalry in Guanzhong, and most of them are new recruits who have just come out of Longmen Ancient Town. It was a bit too much to let these recruits face such a brutal battle as soon as they came up, but Pang He had no other way, the predecessors of the ancient town cavalry died bravely, and these juniors wanted to take over their swords, they had to undergo cruel tempering, as long as this level was passed, they would grow up quickly.
Hu Yanzhuo and Wu Song already had their personal tasks, but Guan Sheng didn't receive an order, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, "General, what are you doing at the end of the general?" "Don't blame Guan Sheng for being in a hurry, the general asked him to come up from behind, just to watch the excitement? Hearing Guan Sheng's question, Pang He didn't raise his eyelids, and snorted coldly, "The general has his own decision, General Guan just needs to wait patiently." ”
Pang He didn't bother to explain, Guan Sheng had to swallow it in his stomach no matter how dissatisfied he was. The Battle of Fenglingdu. But letting Wu Song and Luda be the pioneers is also meaningful. The **** fierce generals are like clouds, the method of battle formation has Han Shizhong and Niu Gao, the cavalry battle has Wu Jue, and the brave warriors have Yang Zaixing and Shi Wengong, which can be said to be foot combat. It is Wu Song and the bald Luda. These two people are like dragons on dry land, without war horses, even Yang Zaixing doesn't dare to say that he can fight against Luda. Four thousand foot soldiers formed a triangular formation and plunged straight into the center of the rebel array, and Ludana smashed his Zen staff as heavy as a thousand pounds, slamming it down, and the two Chai soldiers couldn't bear it at all, only to hear a boom, and the shield pressed the soldiers behind him down. Chai Yonghao lived in the middle and saw this scene with a clairvoyant mirror. I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth, what a terrible big bald head, I had heard that there was a Lu Zhishen in Guanzhong, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce, and when I went down with a Zen staff, even the shield hand was smashed down. Chai Yonghao hurriedly ordered, "Let go of a gap and let this enemy army in!" ”
Chai Yonghao thought very beautifully. I want to sell a flaw and let Luda and Wu Song in. When the time comes, the formation will be sealed, and this enemy army will be swallowed slowly, and when the time comes, no matter how powerful Wu Song and Luda are, will they be able to turn the sky upside down? It's a pity that it backfired, don't look at Lu Zhishen looking reckless, it doesn't mean that he is stupid. There is an army of more than 30,000 people in front, rushing in to fight, isn't that looking for death? Therefore, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song strictly carried out Pang He's order, only hitting the periphery, and did not rush into the inside even if the gap was big. At this time, the large array of 30,000 people showed its disadvantage. The dignified army of 30,000 was beaten by more than 4,000 people, and it is estimated that there is no such strange thing in the whole world. Even if Chai Yonghao can endure it again, but the soldiers from all over the world under his command can't bear it, and finally, Mao Jingui from Ye Dahu couldn't help it, and ordered more than 3,000 people under his command to go out and start to attack Wu Song and Lu Zhishen's soldiers and horses from the flanks. Mao Jingui suddenly pulled out of the big formation and attacked from the flanks, which really caused a lot of casualties to Lu Zhishen's soldiers and horses.
Lu Zhishen was fighting fiercely, but Wu Song had been paying attention to the changes in the battlefield, he waved his knife to look at an enemy soldier, grabbed Lu Zhishen's sleeve and said loudly, "General Lu, there are enemy troops outflanked, don't attack, first entangle this enemy soldier." ”
Lu Zhishen was unwilling, and immediately followed Wu Song to lead his soldiers and horses to fight with Mao Jingui's department, and Mao Jingui's department also relied on surprise at the beginning to take a trick, and now he was beaten by Lu Zhishen and Wu Song with concentrated energy, where can he still bear it, he can only find a way to retreat to the formation. However, how easy is it to withdraw unharmed? Everything on the battlefield fell into Chai Yonghao's eyes, Chai Yonghao at this time was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, bandits are bandits, they have no common sense of the art of war, they go out without a military order, and they should really be killed. But when the anger returns, Mao Jingui's department can't help it, and seeing Mao Jingui's department destroyed, morale can't plummet, so don't fight the next battle. The formation of 30,000 troops, making 4,000 people easily eat more than 3,000 people, has become the biggest joke in history. Chai Yonghao's muscles jumped in a hurry, and he said loudly, "Order Cao Bingju to lead his troops to meet Mao Jingui, and you must not let the enemy rush in." ”
It can be said that by this time of the war, Mao Jingui's soldiers and horses had become a bait, which was a small mistake, but this small mistake was gradually magnified. In order to protect Mao Jingui's troops from being completely annihilated, more soldiers and horses will be used to protect it, which will inevitably cause a result, so that the tight large array will no longer be so strong. More than 5,000 people under Cao Bingju's command joined the battle, wanting to save Mao Jingui in a period of time and make the big array stable again. But it was not so easy to do this, Hu Yanzhuo, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately ordered three thousand fledgling cavalry to come from the east, and cut Cao Bingju's soldiers and horses out of the large array at once.
In ancient times, there was Ling Chi's torture, and now Pang He used a method very similar to Ling Chi, first using Wu Song and Lu Zhishen to lure Mao Jingui out, and then using Hu Yanzhuo's cavalry to cut out the soldiers and horses who were eager to rescue Mao Jingui. Before and after, there were no less than 10,000 soldiers and horses cut out of the long array, causing the east side of the large array to become full of loopholes. The most fatal thing is that Hu Yanzhuo's cavalry did not turn their horses to help Wu Song and others deal with Cao Bingju and Mao Jingui's soldiers and horses after interspersing, but attacked the gap in the east. Although these cavalrymen are all newcomers, they will inevitably have fear, and when they encounter resistance, they will also panic, and they will pay a lot of casualties for this. But Hu Yanzhuo has been on the battlefield for a long time, he decisively gave up the chain of horses, so that the cavalry tolerance rate became greater, and the cavalry under his command began to work in teams of ten people, cooperating with each other to stir back and forth, and did not cut the large formation, but slammed against the gap in the east, in short, did not let the rebel large array reintegrate.
This battle has been fought so far, Chai Yonghao's intention to rely on the large array of 30,000 people to fight steadily has been completely shattered, and now the battle situation is highlighted by a gibberish word. Cao Bingju and Mao Jingui's soldiers and horses have fallen into a bitter battle, and Chai Yonghao is naturally unwilling to be beaten so passively. In any case, his side has an absolute advantage in troops, and in desperation, he can only order the soldiers and horses in the west to make a detour to the north, and strive to encircle Wusong and Hu Yanzhuo, so that as long as he can achieve certain results, he may not lose in the end.
Pang He has been observing the situation on the battlefield, and Guan Sheng sat on his horse anxiously and twisted around, but Pang He was very calm and did not give the order to send troops. When he saw signs of movement on the enemy's left flank, Pang He knew that the opportunity he was waiting for had come. Although Chai Yonghao is known as Chai's heroic, but in the end he is not experienced enough, the best way at this time is to let the main force of the Chinese army retreat, let Cao Bingju and Mao Jingui fight and retreat, so that at most Cao Bingju and Mao Jingui's soldiers and horses will be lost, and in the end it will not hurt the muscles and bones. But Chai Yonghao still wants to make a profit, a large array of 30,000 people, once the formation changes, the rebels' lack of training and lack of protection will inevitably be full of loopholes.
"General Guan, it's time for you to make a move, Ben will give you 10,000 troops, how to fight you and watch it, in short, give Ben will scatter the left flank of the rebels, if you win this battle, you will be the first to take the lead!"
"No!" Guan Sheng's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and he was excited, and the strength he had been holding back for so long finally had somewhere. Guan Sheng led tens of thousands of troops to kill out, and when the rebels wanted to change their formation, at this juncture, the left flank of the rebels had just loosened, and some people had begun to divide out, and some people had not yet been divided.
