Chapter 397: Aura Dazzling Saint Monarch (Eruption Asking for Subscription)
However, when the old man heard Lord Long's muttering, he thought it was the same, and immediately said: "What the Lord said is extremely true, if it weren't for Song Zhiwen to let the puppet Tang thief army sit big, how could there be today's crisis."
If it weren't for Song Zhiwen's concealment and omission of the situation of the puppet Tang thief army, not to mention that the puppet Tang thief army was not only sharp in firearms, but also extremely strong in cavalry, today our Wang Division would have been able to make arrangements in advance and complete its work in one battle! ”
"If it weren't for Song Zhiwen, there would be no fiasco of today's thousand horses, and if it weren't for Song Zhiwen, there would be no crisis today!"
The 1,500 cavalry, which had been pinned on by the senior generals of the Ming army, had been defeated twice in a row, and now they were driven to the north, not to mention how much they were able to escape in the end, but at least for now, there was no way to inflict heavy losses on the puppet Tang thief army, and then help the infantry win this battle.
Moreover, the Ming army in the Tonggu Acropolis has also been defeated, and the remnants are fleeing back to the Tonggu Acropolis, and they have completely lost their handsome banners, and many of the senior generals who accompanied Qiu Yu in the charge were killed or wounded, and even the main general Qiu Yu did not know whether he was alive or dead.
The infantry of the puppet Tang thief army is not easy to fight, and the possibility of winning by the infantry alone is too small and too small, and it is very likely that there will be a fiasco.
What's more, the fiasco of the cavalry troops will also greatly shake the morale of the army, and the soldiers will be like, the cavalry masters who are high above have been defeated, can they still fight? How can it be!
In such a situation, it is not so easy for them to win this battle.
In such a situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is critical!
And who is to blame for all this?
Blame the pseudo-Tang thief army for being too strong, which doesn't seem to be very reliable.
Blame yourself for being too incompetent? How is it possible, they are all talented and incomparable, how can it be because they are too incompetent?
Blame the soldiers for being too rubbish, and it's not very good, speaking from the heart, this battle, in fact, the Ming army has fought quite well, after all, among their more than 20,000 people, nearly half of them are actually young and strong people who are temporarily pulled, and the guards and recruits who can really go into battle to fight are just over 10,000 people!
And the puppet Tang thief army on the opposite side is not a lot at all, the puppet Tang thief army on the entire battlefield is as high as 10,000 people, and the puppet Tang thief army also has the advantage of firearms, which is already a loss.
It is not easy to be able to fight so vividly, and the main force of the infantry has not collapsed.
Even if the cavalry was defeated, but it can't be said that the cavalry is too nesty, after all, the senior generals of the Ming army themselves also know that their own cavalry is temporarily put together, and the combat effectiveness is actually limited, the firearms of the pseudo-Tang thief army are too sharp, and the infantry phalanx is even stronger, even the cavalry is unparalleled in combat power, and the rout of the cavalry can only be inferior to others.
Therefore, complaining about the officers and men of the whole army is extremely irresponsible, and even pushing responsibility!
From ancient times to the present, there have not been many generals who have passed the blame on ordinary soldiers after losing a battle.
So who else can they blame?
Is it strange that Zhu Zhihai transferred them south?
What are you kidding, he is the top boss, and Zhu Zhihai never let them go south in advance, Zhu Zhihai wants to let the main force from the provincial capital, and then come to a north-south attack, it is because they themselves are besieged because of Qiu Yu's department, and at the same time, they also see the opportunity to defeat the main force of the puppet Tang thief army, and they want to come to a battle and make great contributions.
So Zhu Zhihai can't be blamed!
After counting them like this, they can only blame Song Zhiwen, who let the puppet Tang thief army emerge from the Xingquan Mansion under his rule, even if Song Zhiwen has thousands of reasons, but he can't shirk the responsibility on his body.
Today's Song Zhiwen is like a garbage can, and all the bad things related to the puppet Tang thief army can be thrown at him.
Although Lord Long said that his body was unstable and he couldn't stand steadily, and the cavalry who was based on high hopes by the senior generals of the Ming army also fled north to I don't know where to go.
But today's battle is still not over!
The cavalry duel between the two sides is only a part of today's huge strategic decisive battle, although it is a little more important, but it is only a part of this battle.
Tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides are still fighting outside the Acropolis!
The infantry phalanx of the new army of the Tang Dynasty adopts the standard six-line formation, with musketeers and spearmen matching each other, and battalion artillery, archers, and sword and shield soldiers giving auxiliary support.
The Ming army also met with a dense infantry phalanx!
In today's large-scale strategic decisive battle, it is impossible to say that the whole army will rush forward and then start hand-to-hand combat after an order, even if this battle has broken out for a long time today, in fact, the front lines of the two sides are still intact, and most of them still maintain a certain distance.
At this time, after driving out the cavalry of the Ming army, Li Xuan was finally relieved, and he was ready to transfer the Chinese army to the front line to support Hao Bonian's forward troops.
Previously, he kept so many Chinese troops on both flanks in order to prevent the attack of the Ming cavalry, but now that the Ming cavalry has been defeated, he is finally able to send out the Chinese army troops to support Hao Bonian.
You must know that so far, Hao Bonian's forward troops have been under great pressure, before the war, his three infantry regiments totaled 6,000 people, and they needed to withstand the main force of 3,000 Ming troops from the Tonggu Acropolis and more than 20,000 Ming troops in the north at the same time.
The troops of the Chinese army were scattered on the east and southwest sides of the Tonggu Acropolis, in order to guard against the enemy cavalry and protect the flanks and rear of the main force of the forward.
Now, Li Xuan is finally able to lead the Chinese army to move and support the forward troops, with the addition of the Chinese army, not only can effectively reduce the pressure on Hao Bonian's troops, but also is very likely to completely crush the more than 20,000 main forces of the Ming army, so as to completely establish the victory of this battle.
Li Xuan, who was riding on a horse, once again looked around the entire battlefield, observing every corner of the battlefield, thinking about where to lead the Chinese troops to enter the battlefield in order to gain the greatest advantage.
At this time, Li Xuan's image looks a little tall in the eyes of the outside!
The horse Li Xuan was riding was a tall and handsome brown war horse, with a shoulder height of one meter four, which is rare in the southwest region, if nothing else, this horse should be a horse in Central Asia, and somehow came to Xingquan Mansion, and finally became Li Xuan's mount.
Even in the entire Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to find a second such tall mounted military war horse, but unfortunately this horse is a stallion that has been trended, otherwise it can be used to improve the local horse breed in the southwest and breed tall war horses.
Li Xuan on horseback was wearing a black cloak embroidered with gold wire, wearing a dark blue general's military uniform, the copper buckle on his military uniform was gold, and the long hem of the jacket was the same as other officers' uniforms, slightly longer than that of ordinary soldiers, and the cuffs on the military uniform did not represent the horizontal stripes of the military rank, but were embroidered with a unique dragon pattern, and the collar was the yellow of the general's uniform.
At the same time, he was wearing long leather boots, black leather gloves in his hands, and a three-foot long sword with a golden hilt pinned to his waist!
The sun shone on him, allowing people to see his straight body on horseback, and looking from the direction of Zeng Ziwen and others, Li Xuan seemed to be in the light, and it was a little dazzling.
In fact, they also took care of Li Xuan's dress, and they didn't have any special feelings on weekdays, but today, especially after the defeat of the Ming army's cavalry, Li Xuan looked different from the past.
But if there is any difference in the specific details, in fact, it is not, Li Xuan is still the same Li Xuan!
The only difference is that their mood towards Li Xuan has changed, so they feel that Li Xuan today is different, it seems to be a lot taller and greater, perhaps, this person is really what Liu Bagou said every day, a saint of the ages, otherwise, how could he lead them from a ravine dynasty like a family to a situation where there are 10,000 soldiers today, and even 20,000 court officers and soldiers!
Li Xuan, who can do this, may really be a Saint Monarch of the Ages!
Zeng Ziwen looked at Li Xuan, and then looked at the battlefield where he had obviously occupied the advantage and even the initiative, and an idea that he had never had before came to his heart:
Perhaps, maybe, maybe, their ravine dynasty really have a chance to defeat the Ming army and dominate the world!
In the past, Zeng Ziwen at most thought that the Tang Dynasty could crisscross several provinces and even divide one side by virtue of its advantage in firearms.
And being able to divide one side for a long time is already the biggest possibility that Zeng Ziwen could fantasize about before!
And that's it, he also thinks it's unlikely, otherwise how can it be said to be a fantasy, what can't be realized is fantasy!
He had always believed that there was a great possibility that the Tang Dynasty would be able to occupy several prefectures and counties in a short period of one or two years.
There is a small possibility of occupying more prefectures and counties, and even developing into the three surrounding provinces, and the soldiers can even reach the hinterland of Huguang.
But this is basically the end, because at that time, the Ming Dynasty has basically reacted, and then it is time to gather the whole country's forces to encircle and suppress the Tang Dynasty.
Next, it's a matter of how long you can keep it.
Maybe it's months, maybe it's years!
But in the end, they can't escape the end of being suppressed and encircled!
However, today's battle made him see such a glimmer of opportunity to dominate the world, and he thought, if there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops like the one in front of him, then it is impossible to dominate the world!
If there is one three and a half million, it is stable to seize the world and become the lord of Shenzhou!
The question is, how to turn the 10,000 people in front of you into 100,000 or 200,000, or even 350,000!
This problem seems to be just a magnification problem, but in reality it is not, and when the army goes from 10,000 to 100,000, it faces far more difficulties and troubles than tenfold, but hundredfold.
Led so many troops, where did the officers come? Especially a large number of rank and file officers!
With so many armies, how did musket artillery come from? How to solve the ammunition?
These are not simple problems, and the difficulty coefficient is a hundred or even a thousand times more difficult than the armed 10,000 people in front of you.
When Zeng Ziwen was thinking about this, Li Xuan also gave the order to let the Chinese commando team march!
