Chapter 216: The Great Corps Fights
"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."
This passage basically encapsulates the essence of command when the large corps is fighting.
That is, in the face of a large army of nervous retardation, all orders must be issued in advance according to the degree of slowness.
Even if you were to command your troops to take a step forward, you would probably have to give the order half an hour in advance before you could see it carried out half an hour later.
If what is needed at that time is for your troops to retreat and your troops to advance, then unfortunately, you are almost dead.
However, this requirement can only be fulfilled by a few commanders with excellent ability, experience, and good psychological quality.
For most generals, it's too hard, too hard.
Instead of commanding indiscriminately, it is more practical to let them rush up and kill indiscriminately.
Even Li Xingzhou could not solve the problem of the slow movement of the large army.
It is even more impossible to do it with a ruler with a bead.
Therefore, the larger the scale of the centralized battle, the more simplistic the combat method tends to be.
Complex battle formation changes no longer meet practical requirements.
Maximizing one's superiority in strength is the first element of victory.
The standard of the ruler belt bead pill is the combat effectiveness of the 300,000 army, which can be waved out normally to achieve the goal of one equal to one.
Li Xingzhou's requirement is that all units cooperate in combat, and the formation of the arms must be skillfully linked, and the effect of one plus one is greater than ten.
At the same time, limit the opponent's swing so that their one plus one is less than one.
In this case, the pre-battle tactical planning of the ruler belt Zhudan was simple and simple - divide the 300,000-strong army into several units.
Then attack in turns, and the ideal result is to use only two troops to completely hang the opponent in this sea of people storm.
And Li Xingzhou used the extremely risky change of formation rotation tactics from the beginning, creating an absolute advantage on the local battlefield!
......
On the battlefield at this time, although the right flank troops had been ordered to stop the charge, the fact was that the troops commanded by Tubo on the battlefield at that time had already advanced several kilometers away from the right flank battlefield.
When he thought that he had completely defeated the enemy's right flank defense and was about to order his troops to attack the left Yiwei main formation, the two cavalry units of Daxiong and Lin Yun had already begun to cross the entire battlefield and kill him from behind.
They rushed into the enemy line from the flank, splitting Feng Xia's troops in two from the rear with a fierce assault.
At the same time, Yan Shun, Wei Boyu, and Yang Jinghui, who had been sitting back and watching the front-line troops fight to the death, suddenly started.
With this activation, the center of gravity of the entire large array moved to the left in an instant.
The three battalions of nine thousand iron cavalry turned into a great Tang thunder at this moment, and they slaughtered fiercely against the troops of the Tubo army.
Originally, he was beaten backwards, and it seemed that he could no longer stop the enemy's attacking edge.
At this moment, the power was restored, and the three troops simultaneously launched a fierce attack like a storm on the Tubo people's advance troops.
Suddenly encountered a fierce attack from three directions, and was blinded by the opponent at once.
Looking at the battlefield for several kilometers around, you can see the enemy's cavalry rushing towards you almost everywhere, wantonly slaughtering, and bloody.
In the fierce rush of the crowd, it could not help but rise and bloom, with terrible screams and wild roars.
Be the only theme for the whole sky and the earth.
Enemies on all sides!
Except for Zuo Yiwei's headquarters and Zhang Bi's Eagle Yangwei, who were responsible for resisting the opponent's attack, almost all of Zuo Yiwei's cavalry and a small number of infantry rushed into the enemy group at this moment.
Nearly 20,000 elite cavalry versus 30,000 divided Tibetan infantry, this was a typical massacre without suspense.
Even so, Xue Ne was not enough.
A large number of ballistas, crossbow machines and other heavy war equipment were pushed onto the left battlefield by the soldiers of the Pingxi Army at this moment, and then cooperated with a large number of archers.
Their target was not the center of the enemy's main formation, but also the enemy's left front force that was in siege.
The army on the left was bathed in a bloody storm of slaughter, and in unguardedness, a large number of elite cavalry had already swept the torrent of capital.
From the line of breakthrough to the entire camp, in an instant, the vast and magnificent field of life surged with a majestic and rugged force flow.
The roar of death and the reckless shadow of blood held up the grinding golden sound in the blazing wind and wilderness.
Xue Ne concentrated almost all his forces against the Tibetan soldiers trapped in his encirclement, and he was absolutely sure that he could completely annihilate the enemy before he could rush through his defensive line.
The dream of the ruler belt Zhudan with the help of his own strong forces was completely shattered under Li Xingzhou's ingenious arrangement.
His right army was surrounded, and the left and center armies were fiercely intercepted by the three battalions of the left Yiwei and the rebuilt Zhang Bi's Yingyangwei soldiers, and fell into a difficult battle.
The most taboo thing in war is to follow the rhythm of the opponent.
Although the ruler belt Zhudan has already issued a number of orders in succession since then.
But following Li Xingzhou's moves, there is no good fruit to eat.
A ferocious wave of 100,000 troops collided with the famous iron wall of chariot defense, and crashed into a raging wave, but no matter how great the waves were, the dam stood still.
The heavily armed soldiers who were wrapped in iron armor into large cans of movable iron sheets could not do anything else, but they were the most handy at doing this kind of work of blocking the road and robbing the road.
At this point in the war, there was almost no suspense, and the hundreds of thousands of troops on the periphery could not enter, and the troops who had finally rushed in were brutally ravaged and slaughtered......
The eyelids of the ruler belt bead dan drooped, and Li Xingzhou, who was far away from him, slowly exhaled a long breath.
To say not to be nervous is to be false.
In fact, the difficulty of execution of this change of formation spinning attack is much higher than that of ordinary spinning tactics.
In the past, the rotation attack of the change of formation was based on the defeat of the enemy on one side, but the impact of Zuo Yiwei could not be completed in this situation.
The biggest difference from all the changes in history is that the soldiers of the two battalions completed the change from the enemy's position, and this change of formation was carried out under the call of the enemy's swords, guns, swords, and axes.
Many times when you are required to rotate to the left, you have to charge towards a more dangerous area when the blocking force in front of you is weaker, which requires great courage and sacrifice as well as extraordinary execution ability.
Keep a clear head in the midst of a frenzy of killing, fight your way to the enemy, and remember the boss's orders.
It's a pity that if I had enough troops, I wouldn't have had to play such a risky way.
If only you had more good cavalry.
He didn't have to divide the enemy's left flank and eat it.
Instead, you can swallow it in one go.
If you have more troops, you may be able to really storm your own position...
There are no ifs in war.
Li Xingzhou could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Guan Li Xingzhou prepared an ambush for this big battle in advance that no one expected.
But before the war really began, Li Xingzhou had to use his troops to fight a battle that everyone had confidence in.
With the passage of time, the left flank of the Tibetan army was already on the verge of defeat.
In today's battle, Li Xingzhou met the enemy's 300,000 troops with 30,000 Zuo Yiwei soldiers.
The successful outflanking and annihilation of the enemy's 30,000 forward troops was destined to teach the Tibetan army an unforgettable lesson.
The ruler belt bead jade stretched out two fists, and when she retracted, there was still one and a half left.
Li Xingzhou's bronze teeth and iron teeth bit off half of the arms of the Tubo army with a jump, and the pain was so painful that the ruler beaded the heart and lungs.
This war began in the morning, and by dusk, the 30,000 troops in front of Tibet had completely disappeared from this world.
Separated by the iron walls on the battlefield, seeing that there was no way to save him, Zhu Dan could only reluctantly order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
In today's battle, not to mention the failure to destroy the enemy in one battle, the opponent wiped out more than 30,000 troops of his own side.
Li Xingzhou's command ability on the local battlefield is unparalleled in the world, and he is famous all over the world with Xue Ne's meritorious service.
In this day's battle, the Tubo army lost 33,000 soldiers at once, of which 30,000 were dumplings made by Li Xingzhou, and 3,000 were killed in the attack on Zuo Yiwei's defense line.
Compared with the opponent's combat power losses, Zuo Yiwei's losses were much smaller, with more than 1,000 killed and 2,000 wounded.
There was almost no damage to the muscles and bones.
With tens of thousands of corpses on the battlefield, the record of this battle was written with tons and tons of plasma, and Li Xingzhou commanded Zuo Yiwei to win a tactical victory in a small area.
It has set a new record for the disparity of forces with fewer strikes on the frontal battlefield.
It is unusually difficult to defeat a regular army just by relying on the operation of the formation.
It not only requires commanders to accurately judge the enemy's movements and to grasp the timing in place, but also requires great demands on the quality of soldiers.
Therefore, what Li Xingzhou created this time can be said to be a new brilliant record, but it cannot be said to be a record.
The reason is very simple, although he has eliminated 30,000 troops of the enemy, the main force of the Tubo army still exists, and it has not yet been completely defeated.
The war will not be known until the last moment, and as long as the Tibetan army is not defeated for a day, his battle cannot be regarded as over.
Even if he kills 30,000 enemy troops now, if he loses later, then all the victories in front of him will be meaningless.
The so-called miraculous victory, at this moment, can only become a small victory.
Through various arrangements before the war, the timing of the command was skillfully used.
Make every attack you attack and hit the enemy's vital point.
It is the basis for the victory of this battle.
But in the next battle, it is difficult to say whether such a result can be waved again.
After all, he was not stupid, he had obviously seen the problem, and Li Xingzhou's previous arrangements gradually made him understand his mistakes.
The question is, does he still have a chance to correct it?
......
It's late at night.
In the tent of the king of the army, it is still *** clear.
It was the officials of the Tibetan Dynasty who were still discussing today's war.
The 300,000-strong army fought a decisive battle with the enemy, but as soon as they entered the battlefield, they were killed 30,000.
Faced with this situation, Rinchen Gangda Zampu finally couldn't hold his breath anymore and convened everyone to discuss the battle situation.
See what happens later. But there are many people and many ideas, everyone has their own opinions, and no one comes up with a way for a while.
The ruler belt Zhudan knelt down in front of the great Zampu of Renqin Gang, and said bitterly:
"Da Zampu, the minister is incompetent, the minister should die, today's battle, the burial of my 30,000 good men in Tubo, worthy of His Majesty's trust, the minister can only resign!"
If you lose the battle, you will pick a child, but who will take this burden?
Sitting on the dragon chair, Rinchen Gang's Da Zampu sighed softly.
"The matter of resignation, put it aside for the time being, Li Xingzhou's 30,000 elite soldiers, strong combat power, brave and unstoppable, command the law, both offensive and defensive, my Tubo army is indeed inferior, I will not punish you first, but continue to discuss how to fight the next battle."
"Your Majesty, the minister believes that today's defeat is certainly related to Zuo Yiwei's ferocity and Li Xingzhou's cunning, but the key is not these."
It was Uozawabu who spoke.
At this moment, he opened his mouth, and Rinqin Gangda Zampu naturally wanted to listen to it.
"Go on."
Rinchen Gang Dazan Pudao.
Yu Zebu immediately said: "In the military, tactical command has always been subordinated to strategic arrangement. In this decisive battle, on the surface, our army took advantage of the opponent with 300,000 troops, but Li Xingzhou had already set the decisive location for us at the beginning. ”
"The battlefield area in this area is long and narrow, with a width of less than 15 miles, which is not conducive to the all-round impact of our soldiers at all. Considering the need to have enough space for our army to move and dodge, in fact, the soldiers who charge in front of the charge usually have only 2,000 people in each column, and the charge of 150,000 people is as thick as fifty or sixty layers. ”
Zuo Yiwei's 30,000 troops were just right at home on such a battlefield, and their width and breadth ratio were just right. The last general believed that this was the main reason for the defeat of our army. ”
"Yes, yes, even if the battlefield range is doubled, our army's attack power will be doubled, and Li Xingzhou will not be able to fight so easily."
"Nonsense, if that's the case, Li Xingzhou won't fight with us. Isn't the reason why he is willing to stand up and fight us in a decisive battle because he likes the terrain here? You can't let him do no good at all, and take 30,000 people to fight us, right? ”
"That is, the terrain is indeed not dominant, but it does not mean that so many of my soldiers will be buried in a battle. Everyone is fighting in one area, and we can mobilize as many troops as Li Xingzhou can must. Even if it was 30,000 for him 10,000, we would be worth it, but just like that, we were still eaten directly by the other party, and we didn't even spit out the bones, which was too unjust. ”
"I see, it's the prime minister's age, and his reaction is a little slow."
"It's really slow, I saw with my own eyes in the back today, everyone has already killed from one end of the battlefield to the other, and our troops have just reacted. If you continue to fight like this, if you want to win Li Xingzhou, it's difficult! ”
In the king's tent, more than a dozen Tibetan zanpu expressed their opinions at this moment, and regardless of whether they understood military affairs or not, they were saying ready-made cool words at this moment, which was extremely relaxed.
