Chapter 585: Attack and Defense (4)
Meng Tian shook his head and said, "General, I don't need fifteen hundred, I only need five hundred, and the rest will stay in case of accidents." β
Han Teng was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't General Meng just suggest that all these 1,500 people be sent?" For what is the use of only five hundred people. β
Meng Tian looked at the direction of the battlefield and said: "If the general sent all the 1,500 giant soldiers to the battlefield when the infantry army attacked just now, with 500 people as a team, divided into three teams to attack, then the era army has not gained a stable foothold, we can defeat the representative army in one fell swoop, even if we can't break through the big camp of the representative army now, but we can also seize the outer defense line of the representative army, drive the representative army back to the big camp, and then slowly clear the obstacles outside the camp, and then send out chariots to attack the big camp of the representative army, it is not without a chance to win." β
Han Teng nodded and said, "Yes, now I will hand over all these 1,500 soldiers to you to command, and still act according to the plan, why can't it be done?" β
Meng Tian said: "At this time and that time, now the battle between the two sides is stalemate, and the Dai Army has stabilized its position, so even if all these soldiers are sent out, it is difficult to win when it is urgent, but the general must not forget that the Dai Army is not only the army stationed in the big camp, but also the people and horses of the plateau, I think the Plateau will never sit back and watch us attack the big camp of the Dai Army, if the last general is not wrong, at this time the Gao Yuan may have been secretly paying attention to this battle, just waiting for an opportunity to attack, If we take the liberty of sending all the general's giant army to the battlefield, it will be difficult to win in a hurry, and the reinforcements from the plateau will be killed, then our army will be in danger, so the final general will build and leave a thousand soldiers, just in case of contingency. β
After listening to Meng Tian's words, Han Teng suddenly realized that he only paid attention to the battlefield in front of him just now, and really forgot about the plateau, it seems that Meng Tian is indeed worthy of being a general of the younger generation of the Qin State, and he really thinks much more thoroughly than himself. Therefore, Han Teng also nodded and said, "General Meng, since I have handed over the command to you, it is up to you to decide how to deploy the troops." β
Meng Tian also nodded, and was about to give an order, when he saw a war horse galloping towards Han Teng, and the knight on horseback turned over and dismounted, nodded to the ground on one knee, and said, "Report to the general, the army will attack our army in the southwest." β
Han Teng's face changed slightly, but he nodded and said, "General Ben knows the way, you go down first." β
In this battle, the Qin army was besieging the camp of the Dai army on three sides, and the southeast direction was the main attack area of the Qin army, and the Qin army in the southwest and northeast, in addition to containing the garrison army of the Dai army, was also to prepare for the plateau to send troops to the rescue.
Just when Han Teng didn't have time to react, another soldier rushed to report that the Qin army in the northeast had also been attacked by the Dai army, and this time the other generals of the Qin army were also in a commotion, although the left and right armies blocked the reinforcements of the Dai army for the main force of the Qin army, but the battlefield on this side was deadlocked, and the reinforcements of the Dai army had begun to attack, such a battle situation was obviously unfavorable to the Qin army.
Han Teng said: "General Meng, in your opinion, how should we deal with it now. β
Meng Tian also knew that the form of the Dao was critical, although he had already been suspicious of Han Teng, but for the sake of the overall situation of the Qin State and the Qin army, he still had to give advice to Han Teng and not let the Qin army fall into trouble. Therefore, seeing Han Teng asking, Meng Tian did not hesitate, and said: "Please give an order immediately, first immediately dispatch 10,000 troops to reinforce the battlefield, and then assign 2,000 cavalry troops and 3,000 infantry troops to reinforce the Qin army on the left and right; Immediately transfer the remaining chariots to the rear and form a defensive formation in case the cavalry of the Dai Army assaults from behind us, and then prepare the remaining cavalry and the Great General's giant army to attack and engage the reinforcements of the Dai Army as soon as the attack of the Dai Army is frustrated. β
Han Teng was confused when he heard this, he didn't understand why Meng Tian wanted to make such an arrangement, why he didn't send the soldiers of the Kuafu clan to attack, and even the main force of the Qin army had to prepare to meet the surprise attack of the Dai army from behind. However, seeing Meng Tian's eager face, he didn't want to ask carefully, so he immediately ordered, first ordered Li Xin to lead 10,000 infantry troops to reinforce the battlefield, and then ordered Xin Sheng and Zhang Han to lead 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry troops each to reinforce the Qin army on the left and right, and then ordered to adjust the layout of the chariot, and ordered to concentrate the cavalry and the Kuafu warriors to prepare for battle, which were basically adjusted and arranged according to Meng Tian's suggestions.
When this series of orders was issued, all the armies were also ordered to attack, and the chariots were also urgently adjusted, Han Teng said: "General Meng, didn't you just say that you would send the giant army to attack?" Why is it necessary to arrange distributions this way? β
Meng Tian said: "The soldiers change with the situation, it cannot be generalized, now the representative army is attacking us in two ways, but according to my opinion, these two representative troops are feints, the purpose is only to disperse the strength of our army, and at the same time contain our left and right armies, and the main goal of the plateau is to flank our main army before and after with the representative army in the big camp." β
Han Teng said: "How can Meng Tian see that the two attacks of the Dai army are both feints? β
Meng Tian said: "If the Dai army wants to defeat the army on our left and right first to rescue the battalion, we should concentrate our forces and storm all the way, and strive to break the Qin army all the way in the shortest possible time, causing a threat to our main army, and then we will be able to achieve the goal of rescue, instead of dividing our troops to attack the two roads." Now that the Dai army is attacking in two directions, then it must be a feint. Moreover, the plateau has always made good use of the cavalry, and it is completely possible to use an elite cavalry army to bypass the Qin army on the left and right, and directly assault our main army. And in the large camp of the Dai Army, there are no less than 50,000 Dai Army, and the probability of victory is quite large. Therefore, the last general sent a small number of troops to support the left and right armies, so that the Dai army thought that we were in the plan, and reinforced 10,000 troops to the battlefield, which was to stabilize the situation on this side of the battlefield, and then concentrate the elite soldiers and strong generals, and go all out to defeat the reinforcements of the Dai army. β
After listening to Meng Tian's explanation, Han Teng also had a feeling of enlightenment, and he couldn't help but admire Meng Tian, although he was not very old, he was indeed worthy of being a general of the young generation of the Qin State.
ββββββββ the dividing lineβββββββββ dividing lineββββββββ and on the battlefield, the movements of the 10,000 Qin troops reinforced by the Qin army were the most obvious, and Jiang Huanwu and Zhao Xuan, who were in command in the big camp, naturally saw it very clearly.
At this time, Jiang Huanwu had already received a notice that the Zhilu Dao Plateau had sent troops to attack the Qin army on both sides, so that the threat on both sides of the camp was greatly reduced, and he could concentrate his forces with all his strength to deal with the main force of the Qin army in front.
At present, the Dai army has only invested 10,000 troops on the battlefield, and in addition, there are still about 3,000 troops stationed in the outer positions, and there are still nearly 40,000 troops in the main camp, including more than 9,000 cavalry troops. In addition, although the battlefield is now in a stalemate, more than half of the more than 300 chariots that the Qin army put into the battlefield in the early stage were destroyed by fire, including one Linchong Lu bus, and the rest of the chariots either because the wheels were destroyed, the crew got off the car to fight, and other reasons, stayed on the battlefield and did not move, only more than 20 chariots left the battlefield in time and retreated to the Qin army's large array, and only one Linchong Lu bus escaped smoothly. Therefore, the chariot of the Qin army has been completely defeated by the Dai army, which is also the biggest victory of the Dai army.
And now Jiang Huanwu and Zhao Xuan are just waiting for the plateau to launch an attack from behind the Qin army, and then they can attack on all fronts and attack the Qin army back and forth with the plateau. But at this moment, the Qin army sent reinforcements to the battlefield, and the Dai army naturally could not remain indifferent, Jiang Huanwu also immediately dispatched 10,000 troops and also threw them into the battlefield.
At this time, the 10,000 troops that both sides had put into the battlefield in advance, after more than half an hour of fighting, had already suffered a lot of losses, and more than 3,000 soldiers were killed and wounded and withdrew from the battle, and the remaining soldiers also consumed a lot of physical strength, and they were a little overwhelmed. Therefore, when the reinforcements from both sides arrived at the very right time, these two groups of fresh troops entered the battle, replaced the previous army, and immediately began a fierce battle.
The soldiers of the Dai army retreated to the camp, Jiang Huanwu also ordered them to rest quickly, drink water and eat, and the wounded soldiers quickly bandaged and treated, and if the weapons and armor were damaged and lost, they were also re-collected immediately, waiting for the next battle to continue.
After the Qin army's army withdrew, it did not retreat to the large array, but under the command of Li Xin, it only retreated to a place more than 200 steps away from the battlefield to rest and recover. Although this place was already within the strike range of the Dai Army's long-range weapons, the Qin Army couldn't care about that at this time.
However, the abnormal performance of the Qin army immediately attracted Jiang Huanwu's attention, and at the same time, he also noticed that the main formation of the Qin army was also adjusting the deployment of troops, and most of the chariots had been transferred to the rear, and there were not many left in front of the formation.
Seeing these changes in the Qin army's array, Jiang Huanwu immediately understood that it was obvious that the Qin army had already focused on the back, and increased its strength on the battlefield, just to stabilize the situation on the battlefield within a certain period of time, so the goal of the Qin army was also very obvious, that is, to defeat the reinforcements of the Dai army with all their strength, and then attack the camp of the Dai army.
Jiang Huanwu is not a rigid and rigid person, of course, he also understands the truth that the soldiers change with the situation, since the Qin army has made adjustments and changes, the acting army can not still stiffly respect the original plan, and wait for the plateau to attack from behind the Qin army, and then attack in an all-round way. Instead, it is necessary to put more pressure on the Qin army on the battlefield now, so that the Qin army cannot deal with the reinforcements on the plateau with all its might.
