Hearing this, Gu Shizhong listened attentively and continued to listen, and at this time he listened to another person: "Yes, our previous judgment was based on the premise that the enemy's cavalry has a strong will to fight, whether this pseudo-Ming cavalry can have the same tenacious will to fight as the cavalry troops under General Lu's command or not, so I suggest that you can conduct a tentative lure to the enemy, if the enemy can't bear to rush up, then everything will be easy!" ”

The person who said this is a captain and staff officer, Gu Shizhong knows and is also familiar with this person, surnamed Li Mingdianxun, a person from Wuzhou, who joined the army after the Tang Dynasty marched into Guangxi, the top student in the martial arts school, he also served as a captain at the grassroots level before, and now serves as the combat staff officer of the fourth mixed regiment, if nothing else, it won't be long before he can get the opportunity to study in the imperial school, and when the time comes, he will be at least the commander of a battalion.

This person is more radical in his advice on weekdays, and now, he directly suggests a lure to the enemy, which is said to be a lure to the enemy, but it is not easy to do it, and it is quite dangerous.

If you don't get it right, the bait will not only be swallowed, but it may cause the collapse of the entire Fourth Mixed Group!

But this person's words have been recognized by many people, which makes Gu Shizhong have to carefully consider the possibility of luring the enemy to take the initiative.

At this time, I heard Li Dianxun continue: "Now that our army can't advance or retreat, is it really possible to spend a few days with these thief cavalry here?" Once you wait for the main infantry of the enemy army to come up, it will be even more difficult to fight! ”

Hearing this, Gu Shizhong also made up his mind, at this time, he must not sit still, he must go out to change the current predicament, even if it is worth taking some risks.

Immediately, Gu Shizhong spoke: "Wait until you prepare a plan to lure the enemy to attack!" ”

Gu Shizhong didn't have too many expectations, as long as he could change the current predicament, he already felt that it was acceptable, and it would be better if he could take the opportunity to kill and wound some more enemy cavalry.

In short, no matter what, it's better than sitting where you are.

A group of staff officers quickly came up with several plans, and after Gu Shizhong thought about it, he chose the second plan!

This plan is both simple and complex.

That is to abandon the current layered defensive formation, and even put the artillery back on, and advance in the center with artillery and baggage, while on the two flanks, the infantry marched in six columns in sync.

In this way, it is basically equivalent to abandoning the original solid four-cornered phalanx formation, and instead switching to a march-like formation.

But if it is a marching army, it is not, because the whole army will still keep the large phalanx and continue to advance!

Basically, it is equivalent to a column on each side to protect the artillery and baggage.

And the purpose of this formation is actually not to leave here or go to Nanchang, but to lure the enemy army to take the initiative!

If the cavalry of the Ming army is not fooled, then the fourth mixed regiment will continue to advance, of course, it is impossible to continue to Nanchang, but will go to a nearby town, and then defend, this is to prevent a large number of enemy infantry from catching up.

If the enemy is fooled, then things are much easier!

Even though they may lose some losses due to the onslaught of the enemy at the beginning, as long as the enemy rushes up, then you will be able to entangle them with the superiority of your forces.

Once it fell into the heavy encirclement of the infantry, this Ming cavalry would be considered useless, and even the fourth mixed regiment would be worth paying a certain price for it.

The fourth mixed group moved, and among the Ming cavalry on the opposite side, several officials in red robes frowned!

The reaction of these pseudo-Tang thief army was different from what they expected, according to their thoughts, their thousands of cavalry were following behind, and as long as the pseudo-Tang thief army in front was not looking for death, then they would never dare to act rashly.

In this way, he doesn't have to fight at all, he can hold off this pseudo-Tang thief army, and with this time, those infantry in the rear will be able to return to Nanchang in time.

The safety of Nanchang can be guaranteed, as for waiting for the infantry to come up to encircle and annihilate this pseudo-Tang thief army, this is not their plan, and Zhang Yue does not have such a plan!

Because once the infantry also comes up, with the drag of the infantry, their light cavalry will not just want to leave, and at that time, what should the puppet Tang thief army do if they attack their own infantry? Did these cavalrymen rush up or would they not save them when they saw death?

However, now, these pseudo-Tang thief armies are starting to move, and they are in a posture of leaving this place!

Immediately, the commander of the cavalry of the Ming army, Wang Bianyi, who was wearing a four-poinsettia civilian official robe, said: "Let's follow!" ”

Immediately, the thousand cavalry also led their horses to follow, but they were still cautious and did not rush up directly, but hung so far away.

But after this situation lasted for a full hour, the cavalry of the Ming army in the rear couldn't help it, because the vanguard of the puppet Tang thief army on the opposite side was already about to enter a mountainous and wooded terrain in front, if the infantry of the puppet Tang thief army was allowed to enter, although their own cavalry behind them could also follow, but who knew what ambush would be in the woods and mountains.

The Art of War is cloudy: don't enter the forest!

But if you don't keep up with it in the future, how can you maintain contact with these pseudo-Tang thieves, and what if people run away when the time comes?

Looking at the formation of the puppet Tang thief army, it is obvious that it has begun to accelerate, and those puppet Tang thief armies have begun to trot, so that their formation is even looser, and the infantry formation on both sides is not as close as before.

At this time, a middle-aged Ming army general said: "Lord Wang, if we go up and rush, at least we have to slow down their pace, we can't let them enter the woods so smoothly!" ”

"Yes, if the puppet Tang thief army is allowed to enter the woods, and the terrain over there is still mountainous, it will not be very good for us!"

The same is true of what others say!

Immediately, Wang Bianyi said: "Since the thief army has fled unscrupulously and the formation is out of order, then try to rush, but remember that we must not be surrounded by enemy infantry, we just need to drag them down!" ”

Then he looked at the middle-aged Qianhu and said: "General Zhao, you lead the headquarters as the vanguard, kill the arrogance of the pseudo-Tang thief army, and the official will come later!" ”

Immediately, this Zhao Qianhu just nodded and said: "Humble obedience!" ”

It didn't take long for the cavalry of the Ming army to start turning over their horses, and then urging the horses to start trotting forward!

When the cavalry of the Ming army began to run, almost the entire land was rumbled, like thunder falling from the sky.

And Gu Shizhong, who was in front, naturally saw this scene, and immediately shouted: "Give up artillery and baggage, and the whole army trots forward!" ”

But he did not let the troops stop, on the contrary, he also ordered: "Left and right flank infantry, keep the rhythm, don't mess up the formation!" "Because he knows that once he asks his troops to stop and form their formations, then as long as the enemy cavalry is not stupid, then they will immediately stop and continue to hang far away!

Now, what he wants is to give the Ming army a chance to charge!

He wanted to make the Ming army feel that his army had begun to flee for its life and had no intention of resisting, and in the face of an enemy infantry that had begun to flee for their lives, what was the first reaction of the cavalry?

Naturally, it's catching up!

As the enemy's cavalry got closer and closer, Gu Shizhong felt that his heartbeat was accelerating!

"Order, all ministries get ready!"

In order to prevent the pretended retreat from turning into a real rout, the officers at all levels below Gu Shizhong all rode on horses and quickly went back and forth next to their respective troops, all shouting loudly!

"Don't panic, keep the rhythm!"

"Be ready to change teams at any time!"

"Don't mess around, this time we have to let those pseudo-Ming cavalry come and go!"

Many officers restrained and encouraged the troops, which allowed the army that had already trotted to continue to maintain its formation, but after the trotting accelerated, the inevitable formation was even more chaotic!

At the same time, five or six hundred meters away from the rear, a thousand households in the cavalry of the Ming army shouted: "Look, the thieves have run away, they have even thrown away artillery and baggage, they are going to run, hurry, catch up, don't let them run, kill the enemy with the general!" ”

As soon as this thousand households chased forward, the more than 100 riders under his command naturally accelerated to chase forward!

Seeing this scene, Wang Bianyi, who was behind, frowned slightly, but when he saw that the front was already obviously panicked, and even the formation was already scattered in the pseudo-Tang thief army, he also calmed down, since this pseudo-Tang thief army was desperate and tried to run to the mountains and woods not far ahead, then he just took the opportunity to kill.

Immediately, I couldn't help but urge the horses under the crotch to speed up!

At this time, the Ming cavalry in the rear, a wave of more than 100 cavalry in the forefront, was less than 500 meters away from the rear troops of the Fourth Mixed Regiment, but these Ming cavalry did not directly chase up from the rear, but went around in a circle, and they were ready to kill directly from the middle of the column of the Fourth Mixed Regiment and cut the Fourth Mixed Regiment in half.

The Ming army that followed the pursuit drew a semicircle, and then began to speed up and prepare for the final charge!

Gu Shizhong, who was always paying attention to the movements of the Ming cavalry, suddenly pulled out his command knife and raised it high: "The whole army obeys the order, stops, and lines up to meet the enemy!" ”

In an instant, the flag soldier behind Gu Shizhong waved the flag in his hand, and at the same time, several strong drummers beat the giant drum on the carriage vigorously.

The sound of the drums was like thunder, and in an instant it spread throughout the entire army of the Fourth Mixed Regiment, and when the officers of all departments heard the drums, they all made the same reaction, they held high their command knives and shouted: "Stop, line up to meet the enemy!" ”
