Chapter Ninety-Eight: Textbook Play
Yique County,
Fight the Little Snitch.
I'm sorry, I went to the wrong set.
Yique County,
Ge Jiajun was chased and fled in embarrassment, "Capture Ge Congzhou alive!" From this sentence, it can be seen how arrogant Zhu Youwen is.
The Ge family's army fled and collapsed, and the Shenwu army pursued and collapsed.
After chasing, Zhu Youwen noticed that something was wrong: "Stop pursuing!"
With a wave of the handsome flag, the Shenwu Army stopped.
Fang Zhu, the deputy envoy of the sub-section, was a little puzzled: "The envoy, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue?"
Zhu Youwen shook his head, he pointed to the scattered military flags, saddles, kettles, pots, and even grain and grass and other utensils on the ground: "Look, these baggage looks disorganized. Look at the footprints of their rout. ”
Fang Zhu looked at the messy footprints on the ground: "It's nothing."
Zhu Youwen secretly frowned because of his carelessness: "You can take a look."
As soon as Ge Congzhou's vanguard and Zhu Youwen fought, they began to retreat, and the Ge family army behind them was scattered a few miles away from the Shenwu army. This was supposed to make Zhu Youwen a little suspicious, but the mushroom top had a wide field of vision, and Liang Ta Ge Congzhou couldn't play any tricks, so Zhu Youwen ordered the army to chase after him.
After chasing to this sunny slope, Zhu Youneng finally discovered the strangeness of Ge Jiajun.
Fang took a closer look, and saw that the footsteps on the ground seemed to be chaotic, but in fact, the other party was retreating. And the baggage thrown away on the ground is only used to confuse them.
Fang Zhu was secretly shocked: "Envoys, are they cheating?"
Zhu Youwen nodded and pointed to the south end of Dangyang Slope: "Where is that?"
Several of his generals hurriedly took the map, and Fang took the map and took a closer look at it with Zhu Youwen: "The envoy, the front is the Wild Wolf Valley, which is a dead end." General Ge retreated to the Wild Wolf Valley, didn't he fall into the net? ”
This made Zhu Youwen even more unpredictable, how could Ge make such a childish mistake when he was surprised to win with his troops on Monday.
Another general shouted: "Is it that his Ge family soldiers are just vain, let's swoop down and rush into the Wild Wolf Valley to annihilate them."
With a 'snap', Zhu Youwen slapped him over: "You said that the Ge family's soldiers have a false name?" Ge Congzhou Ping Qin Zongquan, broke Zhu Xuan, defeated Shi Pu, which battle in the next three states (Zhaozhou, Xingzhou, Cizhou) was not a hero and invincible, you say that he has a vain name. The Shenwu Army will suffer repeated defeats if there are incompetent people like you! ”
The general shrank aside in fright: "The envoy is the commander, and the general will know that he is wrong."
Fang Zhu looked in the direction of Wild Wolf Valley, a little hesitant: "Envoy, what should we do?"
Zhu Youwen pondered for a moment: "Ge Congzhou has always been brave, and the prison army beside him should not be underestimated, so we must not act rashly."
Fang Zhu nodded: "What is the purpose of them bringing us here to be Yangpo?"
There has never been a shortage of people in this world, and Fang Zhu's casual words made Zhu Youwen break out in a cold sweat: "When Yangpo, it's not good, it's a trick!" Order the army, retreat! Fast! ”
Unfortunately, it was too late, and the sound of hooves rumbled, and suddenly two teams of cavalry on both sides of the sunny slope came with dust and smoke billowing from the storm.
The tactics of the Mongol cavalry in later generations were actually very simple, the light cavalry flanked and disrupted the enemy's formation, and then the heavy cavalry or infantry carried out a frontal crush.
Ge Jiajun borrowed this style of play, when the cavalry on both sides of the sunny slope outflanked in a roundabout way. These two groups of lightly armed cavalry only had more than 3,000 people, but they surrounded the Shenwu army of 40,000 or 50,000 people on Dangyangpo.
Later Genghis Khan once confidently said: "A thousand horsemen can wrap up thousands of people." "It's a lie.
Ge Congzhou divided the two cavalry into a Flying Dragon Army of 2,000 men and a Flying Tiger Army of more than 1,000 people.
The Wyvern Army occupies the west side, and the Flying Tiger Army occupies the high ground on the east side. To ensure a high degree of mobility, both light cavalry weapons were light bows.
Although the Shenwu Army also had cavalry, it was relatively dwarfed. The arrows of the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army were like flying locusts, constantly rushing back and forth from both sides and shooting towards the position of the Shenwu Army.
Zhu Youwen was terrified, he didn't expect to fall for the other party's trick so easily. Coupled with the fear of the Shenwu Army, the team was in chaos.
"Hold on to your formation! Those who shake the hearts of the army, kill! Although Zhu Youneng ordered to cut down a few soldiers who couldn't stop retreating, the rain and arrows flew overhead, and the Shenwu sergeants kept falling with arrows, and the soldiers retreated one after another.
The Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army maneuvered on both sides, and it was difficult for the cavalry of the Shenwu Army to shoot them, while there were constantly people on their side who were hit by arrows.
"Kill!"
At this time, the Ge family army in the direction of Wild Wolf Valley counterattacked back.
The formation of the Shenwu army here has begun to disperse, but the Ge family army is like a tiger out of a cage, roaring and launching a frontal attack on the enemy.
This is almost a textbook style of play, the left and right flanks of the Shenwu Army were scattered by the cavalry, and General Ge attacked its first line, flowering from the center of the frontal impact.
The Shenwu army, which Zhu Wen was proud of, was defeated on the spot, trampling on each other and killing countless people.
This time, as soon as the two armies clashed, a judgment was made.
Guo Nianda's silver spear army was in front, Ge Jiajun's horizontal sword followed, and the cavalry on both sides changed from outflanking to cavalry assault after disrupting the formation of the Shenwu army.
The entire Shenwu Army was attacked on all sides, the center blossomed, and the fighting spirit of the Shenwu Army was lost.
Only a 10,000-strong team led by Fang Zhu barely maintained the formation, Zhu Youwen's face changed greatly, and the 10,000-person team that followed Fang Zhu was defeated and retreated.
Fan Gongbao watched the bloody battle on the Dangyangpo position from a distance, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty's tactics are really powerful, and our 30,000 people are stunned to rush them to pieces."
Next to him, Ge Congzhou was taken aback: "Mr. Fan, you mean, this is His Majesty's tactic?"
Fan Gongbao smiled: "I have discussed with Your Majesty in the capital about the tactics of using troops, and this style of play was taught to me by Your Majesty."
Ge Congzhou was shocked and admired, could this majesty really be a real dragon, how could he study strategy and tactics so thoroughly. This style of play is unheard of, and I didn't expect the two-wing cavalry tactics to be so effective. It's a pity that there are not enough horses, if there are enough war horses, and the middle is not infantry, but replaced by heavy cavalry, who can dominate the world.
As everyone knows, this is what Li Ji learned from the tactics of the Mongolian cavalry in later generations, when Fan Gongbao and Mo Long tested Li Ji to see if the emperor was really smart and wise. So he discussed the art of war with Li Ji, and as soon as Li Ji talked about some tactics of the Mongolian cavalry, he immediately suppressed Mo Long and Fan Gongbao.
Although cavalry tactics gradually withdrew from the stage of history, in the era of cold weapons, it was like the current armored group.
Although General Ge did not have a strong cavalry, when the weather and place on the slope were favorable, Fan Gongbao borrowed this style of play and used the cavalry on both sides to outflank him, and it really achieved great results.
"Your Majesty's wisdom is truly unfathomable." Ge Congzhou sincerely admired.
Fan Gongbao agrees with this, although Li Ji occasionally makes some willful moves, but the emperor's views on some things often make Fan Gongbao and Mo Long dumbfounded.
