Chapter 339: Crowd Tactics

Sony unexpectedly ordered three puffs of wolf smoke to be set off on the spot.

Sony's thinking is clear:

If anything, the early rise of wolf smoke can exonerate Sony. In the future, if Ao Bai is angry and embarrassed to impeach Sony, the reason is nothing more than fear of war. The wolf smoke rises to indicate that Sony is also under attack, and the rescue of Ao Bai is powerless.

Secondly, Sony believes that with the courage of Aobai, breaking through should not be a problem, and raising the wolf smoke can indicate the direction for Aobai to take the initiative to move closer to Sony.

The Eight Banners had strict military law, and Sony did not dare to stop after raising the wolf smoke. Under the leadership of Sony, the Yellow Banner armor soldiers rushed forward again and again like enraged wild boars.

The Mongol cavalry hedged against Sonny at any cost. Sonny felt like a shallot in his armor, skinned with every charge.

Halfway through the killing, the men and horses of Aobai did not appear at all.

Sony involuntarily slapped a spirit.

Sony never thought that Ao Bai would be beaten to the point where he could not break through. He began to seriously doubt whether the first three puffs of wolf smoke were released by Aobai, and whether those three puffs of wolf smoke could be a trap to lure him.

Sony quickly estimated that at the current rate of consumption, the centaur would lose at least half by the time he reached the kill. At that time, the men and horses were tired, and they would not be able to fight again no matter what.

Sony simply gave the order, stuck in place, and waited for the worship.

Sony's move directly abandoned Aobai and indirectly saved itself.

In Sun Yi's arrangement, the first stage of the battle was for the Mongol cavalry to block and reinforce with all their might, and the three battalions bought time to completely annihilate the Manchurian soldiers in the village. In the second stage, the Mongolian cavalry released reinforcements into the village, and the three battalions did the same and did it again.

Now that Sony is at a standstill, the coalition forces have no choice but to change their plans to meet them after they have been completely annihilated.

Battle was the first to receive an order to lead the newly formed cavalry wing to the aid of Little Norbu and hold back the Manchurian soldiers.

The cavalry company rushed to the battlefield with one man and two horses, and one hurried march.

Battle found that the Manchurian soldiers on the battlefield had no intention of retreating.

The Manchurian soldiers occupied a small earthen bag and formed a hollow circle array, with heavy armor on the outside and light armor on the inside, and the center of the circle was a Manchurian leader.

Little Norbu's cavalry kept touring back and forth on the outside of the garden formation, seeing that the situation had cut off the retreat of the Manchurian soldiers.

As soon as the cavalry wing arrived, Battle and Norbu Jr. immediately surrounded the Manchurian soldiers from four directions.

The Manchurian chieftains on the earthen bags talked and laughed with the armored soldiers, as if they did not take the encirclement of the coalition army into account.

Battle was annoyed: "If Lao Tzu's second battalion is here, I will give you a smoke bomb first, and then throw in a 10,000-strong enemy, I think you can still laugh!" ”

The cavalry wing had just been formed, and now apart from the excellent riders and horses, the equipment was no different from that of the cavalry of the big and small Norbu, and the horses did not have time to receive special training.

The two armies confronted each other until the evening, when Sun Yi led the cavalry of Da Norbu to arrive.

The cavalry of the Allied Army, which numbered more than 1,200 cavalry, surrounded the Manchurian Corps, which numbered less than 200 men. The Manchurian soldiers on the small dirt bag were obviously starting to get nervous.

Sun Yi calculated the time, if he waited for the third battalion on foot to arrive, it would be dark.

Now the ratio of forces between the two sides has exceeded six to one, and the Great Norbu and cavalry have arrived from all over the country, and the coalition forces have fully complied with the military principle of implementing the "crowd tactics":

"In every battle, we should concentrate absolutely superior forces, double, triple, quadruple, and sometimes even five or six times the enemy's strength, surround the enemy on all sides, and strive to completely annihilate the enemy, so that no net can slip through the net!"

"Replenish yourself with the capture of all the enemy's weapons and most of the personnel. The source of manpower and material resources of our army is mainly on the front line! ”

Sun Yi decided to launch a general offensive before dark, make up for the inferior equipment with the superiority of troops, annihilate the forward troops of the Yellow Banner in one fell swoop, and seize the armed coalition forces with weapons.

After a brief meeting of the leaders, Norb the Big took over the task of attacking the front, and Norb Jr. and Battle were responsible for attacking the flanks. Surrounding the three queyi, leaving a way of life, Sun Yi is responsible for maintaining this "road of life".

The remnant sun is like blood. Sun ordered: The general offensive begins!

The allied forces were overwhelmingly superior in numbers, and the cavalry attacked the Manchurians from three sides. From the very beginning of the battle, it was not clear which direction was the main attack.

The light armor soldiers on the inside of the Manchurian circle were the first to bend their bows and shoot arrows to intercept them.

The cavalry of the coalition army was fast, leaving corpses all the way and rushing upwards at the risk of death.

As soon as the war horse stepped into the Manchurian formation, it immediately smashed a gap in the battle line.

The Manchurian soldiers had no choice but to retreat.

However, the width of the frontal engagement between the two sides was limited, and the cavalry had to keep a distance from each other, and the number of allied troops on the front line was not as dense as that of the Manchurian heavy armoured soldiers. After the impact of the war horse was consumed, the Manchurian soldiers quickly formed a local battle to fight more and less.

Manchuria's heavy armor advantage was undoubtedly revealed at this time. The sabers of the allied cavalry cut down the Manchurian soldiers, and the Manchurians were unmoved. As soon as the horsemen or horses of the allied forces were wounded by the Manchurian soldiers, they immediately turned on their backs.

The fallen horses blocked the onslaught of the follow-up cavalry, and the Manchurian light armor soldiers on the inside took the opportunity to shoot heavy arrows desperately.

The Mongol cavalry continued to charge and fall to the ground, forming new barricades on the narrow front.

The heavy armoured troops of Manchuria took advantage of the situation to regain the lost ground.

The Mongol bows and arrows of the allied forces clanged the Manchurian heavy armoured soldiers, but did little real damage.

Looking at the corpses of the coalition troops in one place, Sun Yi immediately called for an end to the attack.

……

Big Norbu protested unconvincingly to Sun Yi with an arrow wound:

"Tabu Bag! How many arrows can the Manchurian soldiers have! There are so many of us, even if we are tired, we can exhaust the Manchurian soldiers to death! Why take it down? ”

"You can't fight like this." Sun Yi shook his head, as if he was replying to Da Norbu, and as if he was asking himself:

"A few for one, of course, can completely annihilate the current Manchurian soldiers. But what about the future battle? Hauge's brigade was a day's journey behind, and the white flags of the flowers were standing still. Everyone is gone, what will I do in the future? ”

Norbu replied in a loud voice: "How can there be immortals in war?" After fighting out our cavalry, we still have nine infantry wings! Nine infantry wings have been spelled out, and we still have tens of thousands of people in Dabansheng!! ”

Sun Yi suddenly raised his voice: "Then you might as well let the people go up to die first, and wait for the Manchurian soldiers to shoot all the arrows, and then your cavalry will go up!" ”

Big Norbu was stunned: "We...... We are fighting to protect the people......"

Sun Yi said angrily: "Your cavalry is all gone, how can you protect the people?" The people are exhausted, and the remaining cavalry can still win the war! Think about it, which is the best deal? ”

Big Norbu lowered his head and muttered, "That's the truth...... But...... Let the people die...... I can't get over it with my conscience. ”

……

Sun Yi let out a long sigh, and the whole person looked very depressed.

"The crowd tactics are good, simple, and effective, but I can't do it."

Sun Yi lowered his voice: "Each of us, whether he is a common man or a soldier, has the right to live. No matter who I let to die, I can't get over it in my conscience. ”

"And," Sun Yi confessed, "I'm afraid." ”

"I'm afraid that once I start using crowd tactics, I will start treating ordinary soldiers as people, then ordinary people as people, and finally everyone as people."

……

Big Norbu raised his head with red eyes: "Tabu Bag, I listen to you." What now? ”

Sun Yi replied briefly: "Wait for the third battalion to come up." ”

Da Norbu reminded Sun Yi: "When the third battalion comes up, it will be dark, and the Manchurian soldiers may run away." ”

Sun Yi replied resolutely: "Then you deserve the life of this Manchurian army!" ”

The 3rd Battalion cleared another Manchurian advance in the village, and after the battle, it was overwhelming;

The cavalry gathered on the steppe to annihilate this Manchurian front, and after the encirclement, there was nowhere to go.

Sun Yi deeply realized that as far as military affairs are concerned, only hard power is the right way.
