Chapter 823: War
"Okay, I already know how to fight, so don't fight anymore. The previous few days of continuous rapid marching, the soldiers were already very tired. Rest in the camp for three days, and then go to war after three days. Hand the war book to the other side, and I will fight Sugdi in three days. ”
"No!"
After everyone left, Murovardi left his henchmen and generals behind, and really began to deduce and plan the battle situation.
The previous gathering of generals was just for a show, there was such a group of picky and aristocratic Xiaobai, and he didn't want to ask for trouble, and who knows if there were any undercover agents of Guishuang among them? He didn't believe in the discipline of these nobles at all. In this battle, what he can really rely on is these old subordinates. Although doing so will make those noble children dissatisfied and even reprimanded by the king, but Murvardi doesn't care anymore, after fighting this war and stabilizing the war, no matter what the outcome is, he is enough to **.
Dedicating his life to this country, he has a clear conscience and no regrets.
.......
"It's really shocking that these hundreds of thousands of troops are lined up!" Leading the army to be stationed on a hill not far from the center of the battlefield of Guishan and the body poison, Zhou Yu took the latest version of the Mo family's clairvoyant mirror, looked at the formation of the two armies in the distance and sighed.
"There have not been a few major wars of this scale in the history of the Han Dynasty, which should be enough to see most of the foundations of these two countries." Zhuge Liang said.
"The other side doesn't know about our existence, and it would be foolish to keep our hands on such a big war. I want to see what this Kushan is capable of calling us an empire with our Great Chu. Zhou Yu said.
"What do you think of the outcome of the two sides on the field?" Although Zhuge Liang also knew the soldiers, he was not as good as the expert beside him after all, and asked.
"It's hard to say, we don't know how they fought and the basic situation, and it's hard to guess the strength or weakness of the two sides. However, as far as the arrangement of troops is concerned, the two sides are basically half a catty, although there are clouds to block the inability to see clearly, but the intentions of both sides are very clear. ”
"Guishan's military formation is obviously relatively compact, and the front army is relatively large, it is estimated that the main elite will be concentrated in the front army, if it is according to common sense, it should be the elite infantry as the arrow, the two wings of the elite cavalry flank, in order to form a momentum, in one fell swoop, so as to form an unstoppable state. When there are fewer enemies and more enemies, the elite will be concentrated to play with momentum, and the commander of this army can be regarded as a person who knows the soldiers. However, the layout of this military formation is indeed a bit rough, and the nearly 200,000 troops are just this bit of cloud, if I am allowed to lay out, the density of the cloud will be at least one or two times stronger. Zhou Yu commented.
"The military array is my Han strength, although Guishan has been established for hundreds of years, but after all, the background is too shallow, and it is different from my Han ruling system and cultural thoughts, it is normal for the military formation to be poor." Zhuge Liang said.
"It's even clearer on the poison side, the 400,000 army is estimated to be all in units of 10,000 people, forming dozens of small formations. Obviously, it is the idea of fighting separately and a war of attrition, and it is estimated that the combat strength of these soldiers they forcibly recruited is not high, and the morale and cooperation may also be problematic. The other side estimated that the most elite team in the army was evenly placed in the front of the middle army. There are twice as many people as the opposing side, and as long as they are not defeated, they will obviously have the advantage in the battle stalemate. ”
"The formation laid out by the two coaches can only be said to be decent, without any creativity at all, and it is a second-rate level in China." Zhou Yu gave a final conclusion. In his opinion, this kind of formation is too stupid, the intention is so obvious, and the formation is too dead, if the other party sees it and takes a targeted response, I am afraid that there is no room for maneuver.
"Let's read on." Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly. The way the two armies were arranged in such a rough way, let alone Zhou Yu, he could see it clearly.
......
The commanders of the two armies came to the formation alone, and they talked like old friends, and there were flashes of passion in their eyes from time to time. The two of them have been enemies of each other for decades, and they have developed feelings after decades of constant fighting. Therefore, there is no-for-tat confrontation in the scene, but it is very harmonious.
Su Gedi, who has always been short-tempered, looked behind Murovardi from time to time, and his eyes were hidden in a bad way, as if he had the intention of getting rid of these obstructive guys for his "old friends". However, he felt an inexplicable excitement for the arrival of Sugdi, and said from time to time: He is really worthy of being my lifelong enemy.
Although Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang couldn't hear what they were saying, the corners of their eyes twitched faintly when they saw the harmony between the two sides. The war is imminent, in front of hundreds of thousands of people, why are these two still talking?
Finally, after the two sides talked for nearly a stick of incense, some of the generals on the poisonous side couldn't help it, and kept reminding their coach Su Gedi that he finally pulled back the unsatisfied face of the murodi. Seeing this, Su Gedi snorted coldly, and also turned around and returned to Guishan's camp.
"Is this situation between the two of them sympathetic? Something doesn't feel right. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang suddenly had this kind of doubt in their hearts, and then they unconsciously glanced at each other, and suddenly felt a strange feeling, and quickly avoided their eyes.
Not to mention how Zhou Yu complained about the formation of the two sides before, but hundreds of thousands of troops went to war, and the scale was really vigorous. The layout of the two sides is almost exactly the same as what Zhou Yu said.
It was Guishan who launched the offensive first. The army's most elite Kshatriya warriors formed a formation and rushed to the front, while the cavalry on both sides, a mixture of mounted iron cavalry and archers, clawed at the vanguard of the poisonous army.
"Guishan's offensive is fierce! Under such a three-sided attack, I am afraid that not many elites can withstand it. Gong Jin, how would you deal with this instead? Observing the battlefield, Zhuge Liang naturally simulated the entry situation with Zhou Yu in his heart.
"The opponent concentrated all their forces on the forwards, and the strength of the attack was really amazing, but it was too reckless to use three elites at the beginning. In this case, there are three ways to deal with it. First, directly abandon the front army, use the dead soldiers of the front army to involve the other side, so that the other side is caught in a melee, and then use the strong offensive corps to carry out a fierce attack or even an indiscriminate attack. For example, a strong crossbow shot. It is only necessary to do a good job in the ideological work of the whole army in advance and pay attention to morale, and this is the best policy. Zhou Yu said lightly.
"Although this method is safe, it hurts the peace of the heavens." Zhuge Liang frowned.
"But I guess that's how it works." Zhou Yu smiled.
"What about our army?"
"Second, General Ling Cao and General Yu Ban led the army in front. With the talent of the two of them, they are enough to support and ensure high morale and sufficient combat power to entangle each other. Then let the left and right elites come out together, forming an encirclement trend, and swallow these three elites directly. Reversing disadvantages as advantages and discarding small to big is the middle policy. ”
"This method is acceptable, but it will still cost a lot of soldiers. And in this way, the front army of our army is also entangled, and it may be risky. Zhuge Liang hesitated a little and said again.
Zhou Yu shook his head slightly: "Kong Ming, if this method can't be taken, then you can only take the strategy." Seeing the move, the opponent attacked from three sides, and we also dealt with it, and the elite of our army was enough to win. The damage may be less, but it is not as good as the first two strategies to win a huge advantage for our army, and it will only bring the situation to a stalemate, which is probably what you want to choose. ”
"Gong Jin knows me." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly.
"If this were a different year, I would definitely look down on your choice, be cautious, although there is no big mistake, but it will not be able to reverse the situation. But with my current situation, this is indeed the best choice. Zhou Yu also smiled.
Facing Gang, who has the elite of Da Chu been afraid of? Sun Jian and Hua Xiong led the cavalry to attack left and right, Ling Cao Yu Ban was the forward, and Zhang Liao was in the rear. This kind of forward arrangement, not to mention Guishuang's three-sided attack, even two more legions on the left and right are enough to deal with it.
Although the soldiers are treacherous, there is a risk that all plans will be broken, and only the royal road cannot be broken. Zhou Yu is now working in this direction, how to use the military array to fully exert the strength of each legion, and crush the other party with the momentum of the royal road.
