Chapter 215: Changing Formation Swirl Attack
Once the war started, Li Xingzhou's mentality had returned to normal.
After experiencing too much life and death, I have long looked down on the way of death and life.
Qi Dai Zhu Dan tried to use Wei Hanshuang's to affect his mood, but he didn't know that this psychological exam had been experienced too many times for Li Xingzhou, and it was not difficult enough.
He didn't need to ignore Wei Hanshuang's safety, but he could suppress this concern and focus all his attention on the immediate situation.
These countless lives are rising in the rainbow at the moment of nirvana, and the safety of one person is no longer insignificant.
The 40,000 shock army of the ruler belt Zhudan divided into two directions, but after the huge wave hit the barrage, the momentum was immediately blocked.
Zuo Yiwei's soldiers were far superior to their opponents in terms of combat experience, organizational efficiency, and individual soldier quality.
At this moment, seeing the other party rushing over, they did not panic and counterattacked in the established way.
The warriors in the front row are hoplites known for their iron-clad tortoises, with large square tower shields and an iron armor that are suitable for blocking opponents, and the swords in their hands are swinging desperately, and there is no need to aim at the opponent, anyway, there are enemies in front of them.
Behind them, the position of the crossbowmen, which had been the place, began to retreat along the gap between the formations, and was connected to the formation of spearmen.
The four-meter-long iron spear is specially used for confrontation in positional warfare, the iron spear is placed on the shoulders of the soldiers in front, or in the grooves on the large shields, and then constantly swallows and expands, and each time it expands and contracts, it brings back bloody and minced pieces of meat.
Further on, there is the axe thrower, which is best suited for mid-range killing.
Defense was destined to be cheaper than attack, and the multi-layered attack method caused the attacking troops to be killed and wounded one after another, and the rising blood mist immediately annihilated the miserable sound that swelled up like a wave, and a terrible scream of horror came one after another.
After breaking through the flesh-and-blood death zone, hand-to-hand combat finally returned to the leading role in the war, and hand-to-hand combat is still the most inevitable way to compete for supremacy in this era.
On the two sides of the battle array, Zhu Dan and Li Xingzhou sat on their horses, looking at each other from a distance at both ends of the smoke-filled battlefield, calmly scanning the battlefield, secretly estimating the gains and losses of success or failure, and pondering how to act next.
"Renqin Gang did not go to the front line to watch the battle, it seems that the ruler belt Zhudan does not intend to give us any chance to capture the king."
Wang Xingyan whispered in Li Xingzhou's ear.
"But it also shows that he doesn't have confidence in his heart."
"Then it depends on whether you like the arrogant enemy or the timid enemy, the general."
"I like defeated enemies."
Wang Xingyan smiled.
The war in the distance was still in full swing, and the Tubo army was victorious because of its strong strength.
Zuo Yiwei won in the well-organized, both sides had their own battles, and they were inseparable from each other.
Li Xingzhou's gaze no longer stayed in place, but silently waited for something.
When the forward troops of the Tubo army strangled with Zuo Yiwei, the ruler belt Zhudan finally made a new move.
Another team of up to 60,000 people came forward to kill on the left and right.
This time, with the entanglement of the 40,000 soldiers in front, the charge of the 60,000 soldiers will be much easier.
At the same time, the central army also began to move forward slowly.
It seems that Zhu Dan is intent on using his huge military advantage to eat Zuo Yiwei in one go.
It's no wonder that even now, when the army is exhausted, there are still 150,000 men and horses in the hands of the ruler Zhudan as a general reserve, ready to go to the battlefield to support at any time.
Compared with Li Xingzhou, he has too many advantages.
However, seeing this situation, Li Xingzhou smiled slightly, he said.
"In this battle, let's eat at least one-tenth of his people first."
At this time, the Eagle Yang Guard, whose strength on the left was much weaker than that of the opponent, had begun to be unable to withstand the opponent's powerful attack, and gradually retreated under the leadership of Zhang Bi.
Compared with the stalemate between the center and the right flank, the enemy's left flank troops were thus singing all the way.
"Da Zampu, the Great Minister's side has already broken through the enemy's defensive line, and it seems that it won't be long before he can destroy his right flank, and then rush to the central formation."
Rinchen Gang Da Zampu was also observing the battlefield with clairvoyance, and in the face of this situation, he couldn't tell whether he felt joy or sorrow in his heart.
The onslaught of 50,000 soldiers, it was normal for Ying Yangwei to be unable to stop it, but for some reason he always felt that something was wrong.
The enemy's left side is their own right side.
He was very clear about the ability of his right-wing army, with many new soldiers and too few veterans.
Just throwing down hundreds of corpses so easily wanted to break through the enemy defenses.
Speaking of which, if the opponent was someone else, he could still believe it, but if the opponent was Xue Ne, he couldn't believe it.
Soon, though, he knew that his worries weren't worries.
......
Pingxi Army in the Army.
Seeing the advance of the enemy's left flank troops constantly advancing, Xue Ne's heart was unwavering.
He said lightly.
"It's almost time, let them take action."
With this order, Zhenwuwei, who was originally located behind the right side, suddenly moved.
On the right defensive line, a group of soldiers who had been dead suddenly retreated, giving way to a road ten meters wide, and the attacking Tubo army thought that they had broken through the opponent's defensive line.
Just after the excited cheers, I saw that a fierce and powerful iron horse had already killed from the enemy's rear.
This fierce and fierce iron horseman, with an unstoppable sharp edge, penetrated deeply into the camp of the unprepared Tubo army from the flanks.
In the midst of the trembling blood light, countless Nirvana souls in the flames rose and jumped one after another, and the shattered blood and fire took on the brightest color of the season.
......
As soon as Zhenwuwei attacked, the ruler belt Zhudan felt that something was wrong.
The moment when the opposing cavalry strikes is the moment when both of their own troops enter the battlefield area and are fighting with the opponent.
At this time, his central support force did not have time to keep up because of its slow movement, and could not protect their flanks in time.
The timing and accuracy of Xenne's orders to go into battle were as precise as if he were holding a stopwatch.
And now, as soon as the cavalry with a strong impact ability entered the battlefield, the Tubo army was immediately killed and turned on his back, and the powerful penetrating power of the cavalry was fully realized at this moment.
At this time, Zuo Yiwei also attacked.
Da Xiong, Yan Shun, Yan Tingzhi and others led six thousand cavalry soldiers from three cavalry brigades to directly intersperse with the enemy.
It's like six huge spears, stabbing the opponent all the way, and it seems that the opponent will not be willing to pierce the opponent to the bottom.
Meanwhile.
"Charge!"
Hundreds of officers above and below Zuo Yiwei shouted at the same time, and the two iron walls of defense in the center and on the right were on the ground.
The iron-clad defense, which had been built with shields and spears, suddenly lifted the iron shell on his body, and countless fangs and sharp thorns came out hideously.
Counter charge!
Facing a powerful attack from an enemy army of 100,000.
Ignoring the threat that his left flank had already broken through by the enemy, Li Xingzhou resolutely ordered his troops to launch a counter-charge against the enemy.
No, it's not just a counter-charge, Zhenwuwei, who was the first to rush out of his own formation, suddenly made a change in the formation of a difficult cavalry charge with a sharp change of direction, and the team that originally stabbed straight forward actually gave up the practice of chiseling through the enemy army and turned to the left.
Draw six strange arcs in the enemy's formation, tearing and splitting the opponent at the same time.
He also rushed out of the enemy's right flank troops from the flank, and then killed all the way to the enemy's left flank.
All the troops of the Pingxi Army were operating with a bang at this moment.
Like a full-fledged war machine, the huge military array roared into action, and began the long-prepared array rotation attack.
"Not good!"
Zhu Dan screamed, and his face turned pale.
Changing the formation of the rotation, as the name suggests, is a means of striking the opponent from the weak point of the enemy's flank by turning the target of the army's attack.
The core of the tactical strategy of the Variable Formation Rotation Attack is to concentrate superior mobile forces on the enemy's side.
After quickly crushing the attacking force on the enemy's side, it suddenly spun around and broke through to the enemy's central main formation.
Join forces with other troops to attack the enemy's central main position, crush the enemy army in one fell swoop, and win the battle.
This method of warfare has very high requirements for cavalry, and it can only be carried out by cavalry.
Fortunately, although Zuo Yiwei was weaker than his opponent in terms of troops, he was by no means weaker than his opponent in cavalry.
Among the 30,000 troops, there are 20,000 elite cavalry, and with only 20,000 cavalry, Li Xingzhou can be proud of Tibet.
In the past, he didn't dare to fight hard with the Tubo people, that was because his opponents were all veterans of the battlefield, and he would not give himself the opportunity to swing and take risks.
Second, he really can't afford to die.
But this time, he doesn't have to worry about these problems.
Now that the good generals in Tibet have fallen, there are few people who can see through his tactics and respond in time.....
After all, he is not a military general who is old in the battlefield, and it is not so easy to see through his changed spinning tactics.
There are many ways to express the change of array rotation, but no matter how it changes, how it rotates, its core purpose and means.
It's all about winning by creating overwhelming superiority on the local battlefield.
And Li Xingzhou's change of formation this time is different from others'.
For instead of ordering his troops to storm the central position, he continued to attack on the flanks.
His purpose was to cut.
Li Xingzhou wanted to use the high movement and impact of his cavalry to tear a big hole horizontally in the enemy camp.
Then fight in from the rear or flank of the enemy's left flank to complete the tactical counter-encirclement.
The soldiers of the Left Yiwei will quickly move forward to fill the vacant positions left by the cavalry and re-establish the defensive line.
Zuo Yiwei and Zhenwuwei were like a quick knife in Xue Ne's hand, digging a piece of meat directly from the other party's hand, and then putting it in their mouths and chewing it slowly.
Xue Ne still adopted a decent tactic, that is, the Eagle Yang Wei defended the middle road to resist the attack of the enemy's army, and the main force of Zuo Yiwei devoured the enemy's left wing troops with all his strength until they were eaten and wiped clean.
Battlefield combat, although tactics can be ever-changing.
But the most basic concept of war will not change.
It is to create local battlefield superiority for oneself through various means and form an offensive posture of fighting more and fighting less.
By encroaching on the part, the results of the battle are expanded, and the victory of the entire battle is finally completed.
Xue Ne only encroached on part of the enemy this time, and did not expand the results of the battle, and in the face of the enemy's huge army, he had no intention of eating it in one bite at all.
The ruler belt Zhu Dan never dreamed that Xue Ne would use such a play.
Because the core idea of the change of formation and rotation has always been to attack the main formation directly, no matter whether it is left or right, it will not get rid of this tactical purpose.
And the ruler belt Zhu Dan understands one thing very well, that is, in order to limit the numerical advantage of the opponent's army, Li Xingzhou specially chose such an area with a narrow horizontal width for the battle.
In this case, the width of the 300,000 Tibetan army was not enough, but the thickness was as high as nearly 100 layers.
In this case, attacking the main formation is equivalent to stuffing the fist into the shark's mouth, and only being swallowed by the opponent in one bite.
Therefore, Li Xingzhou wants to play a change of formation and attack the main formation.
Then Zhu Dan will be so happy that he will directly order the troops on both wings to move closer to the center, and use the huge numerical advantage to counter-outflank the opponent and devour it directly.
However, Li Xingzhou chose to change the formation and rotate the attack, instead of attacking the main formation, he changed to digging the flesh with a quick knife and destroying one of them, and the fight was not interspersed vertically, but horizontally.
This time, he couldn't react.
Although the Tibetan generals were experienced and not easy to make mistakes, the shortcomings of sticking to rigid routines in their thinking were unavoidable.
In the face of Li Xingzhou's improved change of formation rotational attack, the ruler belt Zhu Dan was completely unprepared.
At this moment, the two battalions of cavalry desperately shuttled through the enemy camp regardless of casualties, cutting the enemy formation, and the Zuo Yi guard soldiers began to quickly fill the position under the horn of the counter-charge.
Zhu Dan couldn't care about everything anymore and shouted.
"Order the right army to stop advancing, and the middle army to charge, and be sure to stop the enemy's cavalry flank offensive! In any case, they cannot be allowed to cut our right-wing troops! ”
However, his order was given a little too late.
Long before the start of the war, Li Xingzhou had already mastered the command efficiency of the Tubo army and the execution ability of the troops through various methods.
On the battlefield, many times the commander does not have a good way to solve the problem, but the key is - timely!
Orders that are not timely enough are equal to none.
There is never a tactic in war that cannot be broken, even if it is a figure like Li Xingzhou, if you want to say what tricks they used to defeat the enemy.
If there is a way to resolve this trick, 99 percent of people who are familiar with military affairs can come up with one or more methods.
The only problem is that you have to be prepared in advance and make decisions in a timely manner when you need to make them, rather than doing things as an afterthought.
It is precisely an important difference between a good general and a mediocre talent.
The insulator bead itself did not see in advance what might happen.
And after the question had already arisen, although he reacted immediately.
However, his troop command system was too inefficient, and his troops' ability to execute tactical changes was nowhere near par with Zuo Yiwei's elite fighters.
The issue of command efficiency has become the death of the Tibetan army.
Guan Qi Dai Zhu Dan also tried his best to solve the problem of the operational efficiency of the troops, but the war built against the background of the great era of backward science and technology cannot be solved by one or two geniuses.
At least Li Xingzhou has said such things in the face of such a problem.
"In a big war at the corps level, what really determines the outcome is the pre-war preparation and the ability of generals at all levels to react to the battle, rather than commanding on the spot."
"And if the commander-in-chief wants to show his ability to influence the situation of the battle, he must have the ability to see what happens after half an hour on the battlefield, instead of only seeing what happens after a few minutes as before."
"In this way, his combat orders can be waved at the most critical moment through the obstacles in the transmission and execution of orders."
