Chapter 994: The Posture of a Famous General
It is said that the way of using the art of war is in one mind, the general battle array is the first, and the warrior is the last, which is called the good law. In this battle on the banks of the Xu Nan River, the second son, Liu Xin, not only saw the strength of the famous general Guan Yu worthy of the ranking above the spectrum of the generals, but also witnessed the agility and command of such famous generals on the battlefield! Just as Hao Zhao said to Liu Yi that day, not to be a hundred enemies but ten thousand enemies, Liu Xin also better understood the meaning of the word general, the real ten thousand enemies are to require the generals to be able to judge the situation and adapt to the situation, no matter in any situation, they must quickly come up with the best strategy to guide their soldiers to victory or lead them out of the predicament, will be the head of the soldiers, will be the courage of the soldiers, and the will will be strong and the army will be high-spirited.
Guan Yu Qinglong Yanyue Knife pointed obliquely at the sky, and its first attack was not the Yan Army's Water Village, but the cavalry battalion led by Lin Xue. The Danyang elite soldiers moved extremely quickly, and Guan Yu Wenpin's second general was the first to kill the generals! Lin Xue is well aware of Guan Yunchang's bravery, if he breaks into the formation at this time, there will be no one to do, since the enemy army does not attack the water village, he will temporarily avoid the edge and use guerrilla methods to deal with it.
Unbeknownst to them, the cavalry battalion's position had just moved, but the route of the Danyang elite soldiers had changed, and they did not entangle with the Long Xiang army too much, but accelerated sharply to pass through its flanks. At this time, Ji Yu chose extremely cleverly, and when Lin Xue had just moved the formation, it seemed that he had already judged the other party's response before! At this time, Lin Xue and Liu Xinzhong were all alarms, and the direction taken by the elite soldiers of Danyang was not exactly the place where General Zang Ba led the army to fight with the Yangzhou army? Thinking about this, Guan Yunchang made a strategic adjustment in an instant after judging the situation, and wanted to attack the Yangzhou army that crossed the river before and after, and first broke General Zang's headquarters and attacked the camp in turn?
If you can't do it, don't use it too strongly, when you want to move with the situation and stand by, in Liu Xinxin, Guan Yu's choice has made the best annotation for this sentence, the Yan army water village is ready for battle, the equipment battalion is huge, and there are cavalry reinforcements on both wings, at this time it is obviously not the best policy to forcibly attack the village, and the Yan army divides the troops to respond to the enemy, the other way is still in the middle of a fierce battle, using the cover of the night to contain the cavalry can not show its ability to quickly make tactical adjustments, Guan Yu's vision of the quasi-rapid response is indeed extraordinary. Liu Xin believes that he can judge it, but it is extremely difficult to be so fast.
Since the day when the Youzhou Army was formed, Liu Yi has been emphasizing the concept of siblings in the soldiers, so the mutual cooperation and mutual support between the various departments of the Yan Army on the battle array is extremely effective, and often one side of the situation is unfavorable and will inevitably come to the aid from all directions. And when it comes to aiding their comrades, the soldiers pay more attention to their own safety than to them, and the princes of the world all know that it is extremely dangerous to surround an isolated Yan soldier on the battlefield and not be able to annihilate it in a short time, because the next help between their various departments will be like ocean waves? Even if it costs a greater price, all ministries will not hesitate to abandon their colleagues in the struggle.
This is an excellent quality for the Yan army, and it also reflects Liu Yi's theoretical vision of army building, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and this excellent quality will sometimes become a factor used by the enemy. In the past few years, the three heroes in the south have never relaxed their research on the Yan army while constantly enhancing their own strength, and it is a cliché to know that they are invincible, and Guan Yu's shot at this time is aimed at the characteristics of the Yan army.
When fighting head-on with the enemy, it is extremely dangerous for any army to suddenly encounter a threat on the back road, where did General Zang fight for nearly half the night, and General Ji Ling also led the army to reinforce, from this point it is enough to conclude that the enemy army is strong, and now the sound of shouting and killing has not weakened, it can be seen that the two sides are still in a stalemate. If the Danyang elite soldiers in front of him were put in the past at this time, Lin Xue would not tolerate it no matter what, whether it was not conducive to cavalry combat at night, Guan Yu was unstoppable, at this time, he was fighting for his life, and he had to ensure the back of his comrades.
The Yan soldiers were well-trained, and their response to military orders was extremely alert, and when they heard Lin Xue's order, they began to turn to come to intercept the Danyang soldiers, but the speed of their actions would inevitably be affected when they just ran up and turned around again. At this moment, the Danyang soldiers in the rear accelerated together, and rushed towards the cavalry battalion soldiers at a sprinting speed, and occasionally accompanied by a burst of crossbow arrows, many cavalry soldiers were caught off guard. There is such a sharp weapon as the "Autumn Moon Crossbow" in his army, but unexpectedly, there is also a weapon in the Yangzhou army! Of course, it is precisely because of this that the cavalry battalion soldiers can react more quickly, otherwise there will be more people who are hit by arrows under this crossbow arrow.
Guan Yu waited for the opportunity for Lin Xue to turn around, through its analysis and understanding of the Yan army, they would definitely come forward to stop him, this change between movement and stillness, it was inevitable that there would be flaws in their formation, with the quality of the Yan army, these flaws would only be in a moment, but this moment of opportunity was accurately seized by him. Suddenly, the dash and the small chaos brought by the crossbow arrow sneak attack to the other party, the Danyang elite soldiers stretched their speed to the extreme, and one by one they shot into the Yan army's cavalry formation like arrows from the string, entangled with it, and it was difficult for Lin Xue to get rid of it again!
A large part of the huge advantage of cavalry over the infantry army is based on their impact power, and cavalry generals like Yan Gang, Hua Xiong, and Yan Liangwen Chou all know a truth, iron cavalry can never stop their agile footsteps when they go out to fight, and moving to destroy the enemy is the first of cavalry warfare! And once they stop, they will lose the advantage of impact power, and it will be difficult to have overwhelming power in the face of the opponent's foot pawn at this time! The battle situation in front of them is exactly like this, the Danyang elite soldiers also seem to have a unique experience in fighting with the cavalry, in such entanglement, the moving foot soldiers between the sizes are more agile than the cavalry, and they cooperate faster and more powerful than the other party!
In terms of how to deal with the powerful cavalry of the Yan army, the research of the three southern heroes is quite fruitful, and the use of night battles to limit its mobility is one of them, and such a tactic that three or five soldiers form a battle formation to attack a cavalry is also a tactic after careful consideration and analysis! At the same start, horses have no advantage over people due to the over-the-top of their bodies, especially when they are fighting, and the nimble side has to count the infantry army! The current battle situation shows this, when all the conditions are combined, the enemy soldiers have made sufficient preparations in advance, even if the infantry army faces the cavalry head-on, it is possible to gain the upper hand! The attack of the crossbow arrows in the Yan army was a lot, but there were not many fallen horses, and in this entanglement, it was only the moment of the battle, and nearly 100 soldiers in the cavalry battalion of the Longxiang Army fell off their horses, in such a situation, I am afraid that there is only a line between falling off the horse and death!
The three heroes in the south can make an in-depth study of the advantages of the Yan army's cavalry, and the Yan army itself will not rest on its laurels, they are constantly overcoming their weaknesses in all aspects when the army is reorganized for two years, just like the current ending Lin Xue is not without a countermeasure! When abandoned, abandoned, discarded as abandoned! Even if he is bitten off a piece of meat by the enemy, he must quickly withdraw from the entanglement with it, otherwise he will not be able to retreat when he is bleeding and seriously injured! It is undeniable that the Yan army has this ability and psychological quality, just like the performance of the Long Xiang sergeant under Zang Ba on another battlefield to retreat and fight a decisive battle, but the problem is that Lin Xue can't retreat, and retreating will let the enemy pass behind his surprise comrades, which is not only a great shame for him, it is unacceptable to any general of the Yan army, and it is also an honor to die in the Yan army for his comrades!
The battle array is ever-changing, everything can be used for oneself and everything can be done to attack the enemy, Guan Yu not only has the situation changes on the battlefield in his eyes, but also grasps the characteristics of the other party and the psychology of the enemy general very clearly, and it is precisely because of this that he can create a situation that is extremely favorable to the Yangzhou soldiers in front of him, just a short moment later, Lin Xue's cavalry battalion has been entangled by the Danyang elite soldiers, and the team of soldiers who have just passed through the flank is also extremely swift to turn back and kill, and the frontal impact of the comrades complement each other, In a semi-circular formation, the cavalry battalion of the Longxiang Army launched an attack!
Didn't Liu Yi know that Yan Jun's psychology would be used by the enemy on the battlefield? Even if he doesn't know that talents like Zhang Hu, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia, how can he turn a blind eye? The answer is obvious, everyone is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages, but it is difficult to have a perfect way between everything, the lesser of two evils, in the eyes of the king of Yan and a group of advisers, the advantages of this quality of the Yan army far outweigh its disadvantages, the so-called brothers work together to break the gold, if hundreds of thousands of soldiers work together? This kind of strength is what Liu Yi needs most on the battlefield, and he naturally has to bear the unfavorable factors.
However, this will also depend to a large extent on the ability of the generals to lead the army and the battlefield on the battlefield, if Xu Huang or Zhang Liao are here, their best response is to quickly send someone to warn and then continue to follow the enemy army to maintain pressure on them, and will never let Guan Yu gain the advantage in front of him so easily. Of course, Lin Xue can't be criticized too much, the opponent he faces is far superior to him in terms of tactical ability and adaptability, at this time, he also thought of that tactic, but there is no time to do it, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to make the right choice in the shortest time on the complex and rapidly changing battlefield, and this speed is the gap between ordinary generals and famous generals!
The excitement of the confrontation between the generals is not only between the fighting generals, their mutual gap attacks, the use of various favorable situations and the formation in the battle, tactical changes and predictions in the other party's mind are extremely exciting, Guan Yu's ability to be far above Lin Xue, Pan Shuang and Liu Xin in this field, this time the free and unpredictable movement between the troops is also reasonable, how many generals like Yun Chang, Gongming, and Wen Yuan can be so big in the world.
Compared with Lin Xue, Liu Xin's reaction was even faster, it can be said that he was the first person in the field to see Guan Yu's intentions, although it was extremely difficult to be driven by the other party's actions, but it was extremely difficult for him to be old! Of course, on the battlefield, you will only pay attention to strength and will not consider your age, even if you see the enemy's movements, he is still out of reach, after a little thought, Liu Xin led the cavalry battalion soldiers to rush to respond to the offensive of the Yangzhou army, but when he rushed to the front, the Danyang elite soldiers who were not moving in the rear had already turned to form a battle formation, and under the leadership of Wen Ping and Guan Ping, they were waiting for the battle, that is, the second son's method of dealing with it also fell into Guan Yu's calculations!
