Chapter 582: Attack
Five miles north of the Wuhuan knight array, Zhang Xiong's minister Lin Jun has completed the reorganization of the array, and can attack at any time, either to support the Wuhuan knights, or to respond to the Wuhuan knights' retreat.
Zhang Xiong paced in front of the formation, holding the horsewhip in his hand and throwing his arms at will.
How did this good battle get to this point?
According to the pre-war plan, there are two ways to play, the first is to assemble the main force in the area of Lantian Pass or Shangluo, and Lantian Pass has a favorable defensive location; There is a plain of the Danshui River valley in Shangluo, which is also convenient for the cavalry to rush and fight.
The second is that the army is gathered here, with the most complete attitude, to fight a dignified decisive battle with Beifu.
However, it is necessary to carry out all kinds of small schemes.
Whether it is throwing corpses from the unsightly water source, or trying to block layer by layer, dragging the footsteps of Beifu, and taking advantage of the Tianwei of the autumn rain in Nanshan to break the offensive of Beifu; Or they are worried that the army will gather at Lantian Pass and Shangluo, so that the Beifu soldiers will take the mountain path to cut off the retreat and supply, and then be easily annihilated.
The two pre-war plans for the decisive battle were forced to compromise; That is, they are reluctant to suffer heavy casualties in the decisive battle, and they have to block and take advantage of the attack layer by layer.
It's all human lives, who is willing to take the initiative to sacrifice themselves to stop the pace of Beifu's march?
This is not a tactic that can be achieved by a few people who are willing to sacrifice and serve the country, and it requires thousands of people to have the heart of death in order to take advantage of the steep pass to hold back the pace of Beifu.
But the question arises again, if there are thousands of soldiers who are not afraid of death, why do they have to fight this kind of tactics of blocking layer by layer?
I wanted to take advantage of it, but I was unwilling to take a big risk, and the result was that I am where I am now.
Wei Xing and Wang Xiong surrendered one after another; Zhang Hu, Zhang Xiong, and Wu Ban died in battle at the same time, causing the partial army of Guo Huai, who dominated the city, to abandon its inherent stronghold and had no choice but to retreat in great strides.
At this point, Wu Zhen also expected the Eastern Front Army led by Yu Wang Zhong to serve the Great Wei and drag the pace of Beifu to cross the river, so as to facilitate the main cavalry cluster to play a leisurely effect.
I want to take advantage of it everywhere, but I lose everywhere.
As a result, Zhang Hu's combined cavalry troops were completely annihilated at Lantian Pass; Another professional chariot army was blocked on the high ground with Wang Zhong, and Wang Zhong now had no way to break through the encirclement and fight, and the light chariot army had no space or possibility to go out of the camp and go down the mountain and fight in formation.
What can a battalion of cars blocked on the high ground do!
As for his own division, he is essentially just a heavy infantry, a heavy infantry that drives chariots and is convenient to move on the battlefield!
The Changlin Army is good at defense, and it will not have the ability to charge into battle with a chariot unit just because it is equipped with a chariot.
There is a difference between a chariot and a chariot, and Zhang Hu's department is the heavy chariot that really rushes into battle; Wang Zhong's department is a mobile and rapid reaction auxiliary, baggage chariot soldier, and the chariot of his Changlin Army is just a troop carrier!
Isn't Wu Zhen clear about these truths?
He knew very well, but he still defined the Changlin Army as a chariot soldier who charged into the formation, and delivered a combat mission to charge the formation.
The troop transport chariot of the Changlin Army...... Galloping at high speed to rush into battle, with the quality of this kind of tank, it is simply a disaster.
Wu Zhen is either crazy, or he is already in chaos, pinning all his hopes for battle on the impact ability of the new cavalry.
But the results of the frontline are obvious, Xian Yufu led the Wuhuan knights to attack head-on, and there was no expected result of the cavalry rampage, and the opposing infantry phalanx was disrupted and trampled into mud.
Wuhuan elite cavalry can't rush, so can this unprofessional chariot soldier impulse the Beifu Formation?
In the Northern Expedition of the Han Army, Tian Xin and the Beifu soldiers were armed to cross Yunxian County, the main transportation road guarded by the Xiahou Shang Army; Xiahou Shang gathered the crowd and did not dare to attack the field, so he could only watch the Beifu soldiers pass through the defense area and march away, which directly led to the surrender of Su Zeyanzhou Army in the rear without a fight.
The infantry field combat capabilities of the Han army and the Beifu soldiers are simply arrogant and unreasonable.
The most elite cavalry of the Wei army is three, one is the Wuhuan elite cavalry, which is an elite army with 2,000 knights; the second is the Wujie knights with similar equipment and equipment to the Wuhuan elite cavalry; The third group is the Warrior Knights, who were levied by the Principality of Hanoi and Xia, which are traditionally part of the Knights of the Three Rivers.
During the Ping Yellow Turban period, Cao Cao's official worshiped the captain...... The cavalry lieutenant is the abbreviation, the commander of the Yulin cavalry is the cavalry captain, and the cavalry captain in the ordinary army is also the cavalry captain; Obviously, Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, is not an ordinary cavalry captain, and his number is the military guard lieutenant of the Henan knight in the Three Rivers Knights.
The Knights of the Three Rivers, namely the Knights of Hedong, the Knights of Henan, and the Knights of Hanoi.
Captain Wu Meng, that is, the cavalry captain who commanded the knights of Hanoi, Ding Yuan once held this position.
As a long-standing elite cavalry, Hanoi County was once assigned to the Wei Kingdom, this Hanoi Haoqiang, Liangjiazi composed of elite cavalry troops with 300 horse armor, is a standard sense of heavy knights, with another 400 knights, this scale of 700 knights, is the iron hammer in the hands of Wu Zhen.
As for the other two Qinhu knights and Zahu knights whose scale has reached the scale of 10,000 horsemen, it is okay to fight with the wind, and they are not tolerant of hard fighting at all.
Now the various tribes of Qiang are rebelling one after another, the Wuhuan knights are fighting alone, and the Wujie knights are watching the scenery on one side...... What did this make the Qin Hu and Zahu knights in the rear think?
The longer it drags on, the more ideas will surely come to the mind of these two large servant forces; They should be thrown into battle before they have bad ideas, so that they don't have time to think!
But Wu Zhen is still waiting...... I really want to cut open Wu Zhen's head and see what he's waiting for!
A sense of powerlessness permeated Zhang Xiong's body and mind, and it was clear that there was still a fight in this battle, but Wu Zhen adjusted it and made it four dislikes.
The enemy on the opposite side is the Beifu soldiers, not the poor and defenseless Southern Xiongnu Wubu, nor the Hexi Zhuhu coalition army who just want to mix a bite to eat.
Any trick will form a hidden danger.
The only way to deal with the Beifu soldiers is to fight with a dignified and upright formation, relying on the advantages of manpower and supplies.
At this moment, Zhang Xiong had nowhere to vent his anger, staring at the Wujie Knight Array.
The more this unit that Wu Zhi cultivated and trained out of the army delayed at this moment, the more Wu Zhi could not hang his face.
However, it is also true that the soldiers and low-level military officials of the Wujie knights are all meritorious Southern Xiongnu prisoners of war and slave soldiers, these people are the elite population of the Southern Xiongnu tribe, how can they be loyal to Wu Zhen and go to the soup to fight the fire?
Zhang Xiong couldn't wait for Wu Zhen's decisive battle and general offensive information, and became more and more manic.
Do you really have to wait for the Wuhuan knights to be defeated and attract the Beifu knights to pursue, and then launch a charge by yourself to thwart the fatigue, exhaustion, and elongated pursuit formation of the Beifu knights?
I'm afraid this is Wu Zhen's wishful thinking, and it is almost impossible for such a fighter to appear.
Beifu has always been engaged in infantry phalanxes, and the knight troops are holding back, this is to completely annihilate the Wuhuan knights, and they will not let the Wuhuan knights escape on a large scale at all.
Becoming more and more firm in his thoughts, Zhang Xiong summoned the main military officials to the front of the battle, and said angrily: "I want to follow the general of the auxiliary country and attack the Beifu array with all my might." If our two armies work together to fight to the death, they will surely be able to injure one finger. When the enemy is lazy, the governor will cover up and kill with a new army, and he will do miraculous feats! ”
The soldiers were silent, Zhang Xiong had already reached out from his personal guard to catch the helmet and buckle it on his head, and a pair of eyes smeared: "Who wants to go out with me to kill thieves?" ”
"I wish to die with the general!"
Although they spoke in unison, there was also a difference in order, and a group of military officials saluted and returned to their headquarters one after another.
