Chapter 1258: Tentative Attack
The large array of pinzigs gradually moved closer to the Khitans, and Yelu Aman gradually couldn't sit still, he really wanted to launch a big charge to extinguish the sharp spirit of the Li family's army.
However, the task given by Brother Hugh is that it is enough to entangle the Li family's army, and it is not allowed to fight, let alone launch a general attack without authorization.
If you don't fight, it's too much to retreat, right?
Time was in Yelu Aman's entanglement, minute by minute, and Li Jiajun was also close to a distance of less than three miles.
In the Khitan army, which did not have a general staff system, Yelu Aman had no one to share the pressure of the battle plan, nor anyone to discuss logistics affairs, and the success or failure of the battle was entirely borne by him.
There is only one task given to Aman by Yelu Xiuge, and dragging down the Li family army is a great achievement!
Retreat is definitely needed, however, it must not be just retreated!
Yelu Aman has 30,000 soldiers and horses on hand, and he can take out 5,000 soldiers and horses to impact two waves.
"Who dares to break through the bird formation of the Southern Barbarians for me?" Yelu Aman is not only not stupid, but cleverly uses the radical method.
"A certain family is willing to go to the horse to step on the southern barbarian...... "Wan Qi is careful and steady, and Yelu Hongzhi stepped forward without giving in.
Yelu Aman looked at Yelu Hongzhi with satisfaction, this kid is his confidant, and he has always obeyed him.
This time, Yelu Hongzhi once again took the initiative to jump out, and Yelu Aman was naturally extremely satisfied.
However, Yelu Aman did not plan to send Yelu Hongzhi out, after all, this was the first time that the Zuo Pi Mur Army and the Li Jiajun had started a war, and if he did not find out the details of the Li Jiajun, it was impossible for Aman to risk his own cronies.
"Every time, Hong Zhi takes the initiative to stand up, is there anyone else willing to go?" Yelu Aman glanced around him, and his eyes fell on the body of Wan Qi and the steady Yelu Changyuan.
Yelu Changyuan is not very convinced by Yelu Aman on weekdays, and he is always full of complaints and strange words. Yelu Aman had wanted to repair him for a long time, and this time the opportunity was rare, so naturally he would not let him go.
Yelu Changyuan knew Ah Man's mind and the pride in his bones, but he didn't allow him to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
"A certain wish!" Before Yelu Changyuan's voice fell, Yelu Aman agreed to him, "Okay, Changyuan is worthy of being a famous warrior in my Great Khitan Kingdom." ”
The cheap high hat given by Yelu Aman made Yelu Changyuan feel extremely tight, but he didn't dare to openly offend Yelu Aman.
Yelu Changyuan turned his face away and said loudly: "Go some!" "Shoot the horse and go, without the slightest mud and water.
Taking advantage of the high speed of the cavalry, how to attack the complete enemy's infantry array, Yelu Changyuan already has a wealth of experience. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be able to sit on the throne of ten thousand horses without moving at all after offending Yelu Aman.
"You two thousand horsemen, rush over to the left and right. Remember, you are not allowed to fight, just rush over, go around the big array of the Southern Barbarians, and shoot with arrows repeatedly, do you understand? When Yelu Changyuan explained the combat mission, he never tired of it, "If the southern barbarians move, you will turn around and go far away...... If the southern barbarians don't move, you will keep shooting around the enemy......"
"Order!" The two thousand horsemen gave up their hands almost at the same time, and said loudly, "I must teach the Southern Barbarians to know that our Khitan iron cavalry is powerful." ”
"Go ahead." Yelu Changyuan patted his subordinates on the shoulders and let them go with a smile on his face.
Li Zhongyi was drinking tea, but Gao Qiang, who was in charge of observation, reported: "Back to the Lord, the Khitans have moved!" ”
"Oh!" Li Zhongyi drank two more sips of hot tea, then got up and picked up the monoculars and looked at the Khitan camp carefully.
"Hehe, Yelu Aman, this is looking down on us, more than 10,000 people, just want to break down my camp?" Li Zhongyi counted the number of Khitans, and quickly concluded through mental arithmetic that the Khitans were just harassing temptations.
The role of the monocular is particularly superior in the time of positional warfare!
Li Zhongyi stood on the command car and saw every move of the Khitan people on the opposite side clearly.
On the other hand, Yelu Aman, because the distance is too far, it is difficult to observe Li Jiajun's movements at the first time with the naked eye.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten, this old saying is indeed very reasonable!
In today's Li Jiajun, officers at or above the deputy commander level of the first battalion have a monocular. In other words, middle and senior generals above the deputy regiment level have monoculars to help.
The battalion is the basic tactical establishment of the Li family's army, and the first army has five to ten battalions, and the units at the army level are all used as the basic campaign establishment.
The number of members of a battalion varies from 500 to 1,500 men.
For example, the battalion under the artillery corps is equipped with 20 artillery pieces and 500 personnel. These 500 men, divided into two squads, the main and the auxiliary, devoted themselves to serving the twenty guns.
Another example is the first battalion of the Guards, which is the largest battalion in the whole army, with as many as 1,500 people.
"Boom, boom, boom......" The two thousand cavalry teams of the Khitans, under their own detailed and steady leadership, flanked the two wings of the Li family's army on the left and right, and outflanked them violently.
Li Zhongyi put down the monocular in his hand and sneered: "Order the artillery army, the odd-numbered artillery is wounded, and the even-numbered shotgun is wounded." Let Li Yongtang calm down, first let most of the enemy army into the firing range, and then bombard the damn according to the actual situation. ”
"Whoa!" The herald repeated Li Zhongyi's order, and after getting Li Zhongyi's approval, he immediately slapped his horse away.
"Order the Divine Arm Crossbowmen to prepare for a three-stage strike."
"Order the grenadiers to prepare to launch 'cocktails' anytime and anywhere, and Lao Tzu wants to give the Khitans a big meal to open their eyes."
Li Zhongyi issued several military orders without stopping, and the herald who was originally standing beside him rushed out in the blink of an eye.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the military orders issued by Li Zhongyi must leave room for the commanders at the grassroots level to adapt to changes.
For example, the enemy has already rushed past the artillery interception and killed in front of the line. The soldiers who threw the cocktail still had to wait for Li Zhongyi to send someone to order the launch, which would be too delayed.
Military orders leave room for free play, and this is a great test of the fighting qualities of grassroots commanders, and if the military quality is insufficient, it is very likely to cause a catastrophe.
Li Zhongyi's order to dare to leave room is naturally not a blind fool, and in today's Li Jiajun, the officers at the grassroots level start from the team, and all of them are from professional classes that have been trained in the martial arts hall.
In each operation, the General Staff Department will work out at least three different ways to deal with different situations according to different operational considerations. The right to choose the rank and file officers, that is, to select the most advantageous one among these plans and to implement them.
