73, Chang Ge Rulin oblique array line (2)
"Refuse before the order, let Jiang and Yang choose warriors to challenge the enemy formation!"
When his own army began to turn, Han Sui issued a second military order.
The two sides were evenly matched, and the Hedong army occupied a favorable terrain, and they had a slight advantage in waiting for work, so Han Sui decided to dampen the morale of the other side before the decisive battle, so as to increase the certainty of his own victory in the fierce battle.
This is also to prevent your own army from being attacked by the cavalry of the Three Rivers when it turns.
Of course, Han Sui still has deeper considerations in his heart.
After Jiang Shi and Yang Kui received the order, they immediately ordered their soldiers to announce it to the five thousand Qianghu men under their command in the Qianghu language.
Challenge, which is often seen when the two armies of Liangdi are fighting, is also a martial arts method advocated by the warriors of the Qianghu tribe.
As soon as they heard the challenge and the rich reward of the leader, the warriors in the Qianghu suddenly shouted excitedly, and in less than an instant, more than 100 horsemen took the initiative to rush out, scrambling to challenge the battle.
Jiang Shi and Yang Kui glanced at each other, there were many warriors who were good at galloping among the Qianghu, and they used their light and swift speed to deal with the Hedong soldiers who were held by the armor, just to use their own strengths and the enemy's shortcomings.
Adhering to this principle, Jiang Shi and Yang Kui quickly selected twenty Qianghu warriors with bows across their horses from more than 100 horsemen, and let them gallop out of the battle to challenge the Hedong army.
···
Hedong Army, the Chinese Army.
With the advantage of the high position, General Hedong soon saw that Han Sui's army had changed direction, and he also lined up in an oblique formation, pressing his own army formation head-on.
Zhao Hong changed color slightly, and muttered:
"Han Sui is so cautious in his use of troops!"
When Yan Xing heard this, he was not surprised when he watched Han Sui's army move slowly in the distance, and after a while, he smiled and said:
"Han Sui is cunning, his mind must be meticulous, our army's purpose for the right flank of his formation is clear, since he can see it, for the sake of stability, it is common sense to be invincible first, and it is common sense to change formations in the face of the enemy. If he clearly sees it, but does not move at all, Lone should wonder if he is going to do it. ”
"Also, Han Sui Lao'er is a veteran of the battlefield after all, fortunately, our army's Tian Ji horse racing plan was not exposed in advance, otherwise Han Sui could see it and gave the other party a chance to change the formation."
Zhao Hong was infected by Yan Xing's emotions, and he also smiled happily.
It turned out that the previous banners of the army were all used to confuse Han Sui, and the left wing of Hedong was actually the soldiers and horses of Ganling, and the right wing was Duan Xuan's expeditionary army.
The main force of cavalry led by Yan Xingqin and the Ma Teng army and Qiang Hu Yicong under the command of Gan Ling are mostly cavalry, and the military formations are close to each other, and they have geographical advantages.
Then, according to the plan, after the two armies fought fiercely, the two wings of Hedong advanced dominantly, and the Chinese army retreated to defend, and according to the battle situation, the army would become the Glaive Formation, and the Han Sui Chinese army was trapped, and finally the two wings worked together to meet the Ganling army to eliminate the main force of the Han Sui Chinese army.
Pei Juan looked at Han Suijun, who had already turned to finish and advanced slowly, while calming the somewhat impatient mount with a snort under his crotch, he looked at Yan Xing and asked:
"General, are we going to send an order to dispatch people?"
"Don't worry, let's take a look first."
When facing the enemy, whether it is a change of formation or a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses, there is a certain risk, and it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity to rush into battle, but Yan Xing does not seem to be in a hurry to mobilize the main force to ride at present.
As soon as Yan Xing's words fell, Zhao Hong's voice rang out.
"Han Sui's army has stopped!"
With the direction of Zhao Hong's finger, everyone could see that Han Suijun, who was turning diagonally, only advanced for a short distance and stopped again after completing the formation, but instead rushed out of a group of cavalry among the men and horses who refused forward, galloped to the front of the two armies, and loudly challenged the Hedong army.
"Han Sui wants to challenge our army."
Zhao Hong added. Pei Juan also asked Yan Xing out loud:
"General, do you want to give an order to select elites from the Chinese army to fight?"
Yan Xing shook his head and said indifferently:
"No, look at their costumes and bow horses, these challenging light cavalry are all skillful bow horses, light and fast Qiang Hu cavalry, to deal with the challenging Qiang Hu cavalry, the people of the Ma Teng army have more means than the Three Rivers Knights, let the Ma Teng army select men to fight in battle."
"No!"
Pei Juan immediately sent the order down, and Ma Teng's army got Yan Xing's military order, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent twenty cavalry led by Pang De to detour through the middle army formation, and then go out to fight.
The Qianghu cavalry challenged by Han Sui, as soon as they saw that a group of cavalry with a comparable number of people in the enemy formation also rushed out, they immediately understood that the enemy army was already in battle, and they shouted excitedly, but the movements in their hands were not slow, and they began to urge their mounts to compete with Pang De and other cavalry who responded to the battle.
Among the Qianghu cavalry, although there are many people who are good at shooting, there are very few people who can shoot left and right like Dong Zhuo. Therefore, most of the light horsemen on both sides only have a fan range from the left side to the horse's head, and they need to constantly drive their horses back and forth to find opportunities to shoot arrows.
The forty war horses and one hundred and sixty horses' hooves galloped in front of the two armies, and the warriors who were good at shooting arrows on both sides exchanged arrows and arrows, raising bursts of smoke and dust, and in the smoke and dust, from time to time there were horses that were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and there were knights who galloped wildly on their horses and were shot off their horses by an arrow, and fell beyond recognition.
Whenever one of the enemy soldiers was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, the soldiers watching the battle in front of the two sides would immediately let out a series of cheers and shouts, shouting at each other, cheering for their own warriors.
In the sound of hurried horse hooves, Pang De is vigorous and skillful, he is at ease in this kind of fast horse galloping fight, with the assistance and cover of the knights around him, from time to time he can find an opportunity to shoot the Qianghu cavalry under the command of Han Sui, plus his archery skills are superb, and he has rarely missed, so with the dazzling cavalry unfolding, the Hedong cavalry led by him has a solid advantage compared to the Han Sui cavalry who gradually fell into the situation of horse melee.
Han Sui's military formation.
"My lord, it is Pang De, a brave general under the command of Ma Teng's army, who is in the battle in Hedong, and Qiang Huyi of our army is afraid that he will be defeated."
Han Chang, who specially went out to watch the battle, rode his horse back to the side of the chariot from the front, and said to Han Sui with a slight panting.
Han Sui squinted his eyes and looked at the front of the two armies, the Qianghu cavalry had gradually become a melee after a long battle, and more and more people were besieged and fell off their horses, while the Hedong cavalry, under the leadership of Pang De, became more and more courageous, and repeatedly shot the Qianghu cavalry who were not on horsepower.
While Han Chang was speaking, Pang De was already surrounding the Qianghu cavalry with a dozen or so horsemen, and the defeat of Han Sui's side was irretrievable.
"What's going on in the big array of the Hedong Army?"
As the initiator of the challenge, Han Sui didn't seem to care about the outcome of this challenge at this time, he looked at the army formation on the opposite side from a distance, and asked out loud as if he had realized something:
"A number of scouts came to report, the opponent's soldiers and horses did not move, the cavalry of the enemy army was on standby to rest, the cavalry dismounted, the foot soldiers sat upright, and the left and right flanks were the same, but the left flank men and horses seemed to be in some commotion."
"Left-wingers?"
When the two armies faced each other, they often did not immediately launch an all-out attack, but lined up in multiple phalanxes in front and back, left and right, and made feints back and forth to test and mobilize the opponent's forces in order to find the enemy's flaws.
Therefore, in order to save physical strength, the cavalry on standby in the rear had to rest on the spot in most cases when they were not attacking.
A person who is good at observing the situation of the troops can not only clearly judge the changes in the situation of the enemy and our armies during the attack, but also be able to combine intelligence and catch clues when they are on standby for rest, so as to perceive the distribution of the strength and weakness of the enemy army on the opposite side.
Han Sui looked at the banner of the Western Army on the left flank of the Hedong Great Array, seemed to have found something, and asked:
"Is there a dispatch from the Hedong Infantry in Huaili City?"
"No movement yet."
Han Sui nodded, turned his head to look at Cheng Gongying, and asked:
"What do you think?"
"My subordinates think that the various banners in front of the enemy army may be used to confuse our army, and they may not only target the men and horses on the right flank of our army."
When Han Sui heard this, he immediately smiled. Indeed, through the gap between the warriors in front of the two armies, Han Sui slowly sensed the strangeness of the Hedong Army's formation with the help of the scout light cavalry chasing on both flanks of the battlefield.
The Chinese army of the Hedong Great Array rested in order, and the lines were not chaotic, but the military formation of the left wing of the people and horses saw that Han Sui's army was pressing, but they did not fight, and looked at the warriors in front of the formation.
Duan Xuan's expeditionary army, with the veterans of Hedong and Hongnong as the main force, was able to defeat Ma Teng's army in a dignified formation, and it was absolutely impossible for it to be so unbearable, but the coalition army gathered by Ma Teng's army, Shangjun Qianghu, and Feng Yiqiang was very likely to have a noisy commotion when the formation had been waiting for a long time without a fight.
This is exactly the same as the Qianghu tribe that Han Sui's left wing has been waiting for a long time without a fight, facing the sun and the turmoil of the masses.
It seems that the Hedong Army not only wants to use the oblique formation to give priority to breaking through the various divisions on its right flank, but also wants to confuse itself, set up the army formation of Tian Ji horse racing, and use the stronger Duan Xuan to conquer the Western Army to deal with the Qianghu people on its left flank.
"This is Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, the above donkey to the middle donkey, the middle donkey to the lower donkey, the lower horse to the upper donkey, it seems that Yan Yanming, who occupies the geographical advantage and waits for work, is painstakingly trying to use the geographical advantage to win me with trickery!"
Han Sui thought to himself that he saw through the intention of the opposite formation, his eyes were full of smiles, at this time, the Hu cavalry of his own side in front of the two armies was defeated, and the remaining seven or eight cavalry were frightened, and they turned around and fled to their own army formation in embarrassment, and on the way to escape, they were chased and shot down by Pang De and others.
Han Sui didn't laugh angrily, he looked at Han Chang and said:
"Order, the army stopped in formation, first with light cavalry out of the two wings, sweeping the formation to test the military formation east of the river!"
