Chapter 546: Surprisingly Winning

Yang Desheng was stunned, and then threw the wine glass, Huo Ran got up and shouted: "Where is it?" ”

"Less than thirty miles," replied the officer, panting. (Reading Network, the fastest text update is wonderful!)

Less than thirty miles? How did it come so quickly? It was also reported earlier that the Western Army was stationed in the area of the Imperial Tomb in Gongxian County, why did it almost rush to the front in the blink of an eye? But there is no time for Yang Desheng to think about it, thirty miles, this is an extremely dangerous distance If the enemy has enough cavalry troops, thirty miles, maybe your army has not yet formed a formation, and the other party has already passed you through the formation, of course, if you decide not to fight, it is another matter

"Recruit the minister, the western army is coming from afar, and after breaking Luoyang, the army is in full swing, it is not appropriate to engage in battle with it, you should rely on the camp to hold on, and wait for the army to come tomorrow to make a plan" The general advised. This is undoubtedly a correct idea, now Yang Desheng only has 20,000 soldiers in his hands, and even if the other party brags about it, there is no 110,000 army, 20,000 or 30,000 should always have it, right?

It's a pity that Yang Desheng is not a "cowardly" person, and he doesn't think too highly of his fellow villagers in Hebei. I always think that everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, who is afraid of whom? Lao Tzu is not only very proficient in horse warfare and foot combat, but also has a deep understanding of the formation, today I will be Zijin Tiger for a while, and watch me set up a formation for him

Ignoring the persuasion of his subordinates at the moment, he shouted loudly: "Order the whole army to go out of the camp and set up formation"

The horns, war drums, and police gongs sounded at the same time, which turned the huge military camp upside down, and Yang Desheng rode out of the military camp with 20,000 steps, choosing a place to set up a formation. Not to mention, the surname Yang is not afraid of the Western Army, but it is not entirely because of arrogance. His unit is obviously not comparable to the rabble of the South Korean army. Just from the fact that they suddenly encountered the police, but they did not panic and went out of the camp in turn, you can get a glimpse of the clues

At that time, after the tiger was imprisoned, the west of the camp was crowded. Countless horsemen ran back and forth, commanding the whole army to set up the formation, and one after another orders were issued from the upper floor of the Chinese army, conveying Yang Desheng's orders.

However, before his formation could be fully arranged, a huge amount of smoke and dust was raised from the west, and with the roaring sound of hooves, the cavalry of the Western army suddenly arrived

Yang Desheng was on the upper floor of the Chinese army's enemy, overlooking the enemy from afar, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened. In his impression, the Western Army was still dominated by light and heavy infantry and crossbowmen, and it would have to defend the enemy in dense formations when facing battle. But the cavalry in front of him, to say the least, is more than three thousand, judging from the signs of behavior, it is obviously well-trained, but I didn't expect that Xu Hu'er also has such a force in his hands

Seeing the cavalry of the Western Army coming, most of the generals panicked, but Yang Desheng was not chaotic, and shouted: "Come and general, if you pass the army a little, you will not rush to attack, don't be afraid, calmly set up the formation."

In the distance, Yang Zaixing grabbed the reins and forcibly stopped the restless war horse. On the back of his whirling horse, he frowned and observed the enemy troops who were arranging their formation.

"Commander, the enemy formation has not been completed, when will you wait if you don't rush?" One of the commanders shouted.

Yang Zaixing ignored him, his eyes swept over the enemy formation, and then shook his head resolutely. With the iron gun in his hand, he said loudly: "Don't you think this array is a little familiar? ”

The commander looked for the situation, and saw that the enemy formation was also quite dense. The left and right wings are covered with crutches and horses, but these two wings protrude forward, and the gap in the middle is arranged with antlers to resist the horse, and they are connected by iron hooks. Obviously, in order to prevent the formation from failing, it was attacked by the mobile attack of the Ma army.

Behind the barrier, and the infantry equipped with iron armor, lined up in a dense phalanx, waiting for the battle, and after that, the shadow of the bow and crossbow group was faintly seen. This formation, except for the small number of heavy infantry and the inability to form a solid defensive force, is simply the same as the stacked formation that the Tiger Army is accustomed to

"Could it be that the enemy will be a traitor to the Western Army? Otherwise, how can this 'stack' be subtle? The commander exclaimed.

"It's different, our army stacks formations, pays attention to unbreakable, and specializes in defensive counterattacks. Therefore, not only did the spears and spears in front of the formation, but also the heavy infantry with broadswords and heavy axes on both sides were guarded, and the bows and crossbows were sandwiched in the center. But in the opponent's formation, the number of heavy infantry is insufficient, and the sword players on both sides, and even the archers are filled, as long as they break through the pikemen in front of the formation, or defeat the two wings of the kidnappers, this formation will be over. "Yang Zaixing rarely said so many words in one breath. Today is unusual, because I was excited, because I met an expert. Although he broke through the Achilles' heel of the opponent's formation in one word, it was not easy to break whether it was the left and right crutch horses, or the obstacle belt spearman in the middle.

After listening to this, the surrounding generals were all embarrassed, if it weren't for Yang Tong's ability to see through the opponent's big array, we would rush rashly, and the end might be the same as the previous Jurchen horse army impact stacking formation, hitting a person on his back and turning over

"Quickly report back to the commander and explain the opponent's formation." Yang Zaixing ordered. In the era of cold weapons, in addition to the surprise attack of the horse army, the formation is the only way to defeat the enemy. But arranging the formation is easier said than done. Not only is it very demanding for soldiers, but it is also time-consuming and laborious, and it is no more slippery than eating a bowl of noodles. Therefore, once your formation is wrinkled, you are not afraid of changing.

That Yang Desheng was on the enemy tower, and when he saw the cavalry of the Western Army stagnating, he couldn't help laughing: "See, I'm afraid of my formation, don't seek to break the enemy, but seek stability is not the handsome, even if he Zijin Tiger really comes to the army of 100,000, I am enough to stand up to tomorrow."

When the officers and men of the Jin Army heard this, they all felt a little more confident. The cavalry of the Western Army are all afraid, it seems that our formation is indeed exquisite

After waiting for a long time, the cavalry of the Western Army was still watching, Yang Desheng was bored, and when he saw that his troops were in formation, he withdrew the cavalry on the left and right crutches, and retreated to the rear of the large formation as a reserve strike force.

"The enemy army is coming to follow up" On the watchtower, which is more than three feet high, Wangzi shouted loudly.

Yang Desheng, who had already sat down, jumped up, and saw that the west was dusty, covering the sky and the sun, and there was a faint sound of people, and he knew that his fellow Hebei townsman was about to show up. Xu Jiu, Xu Jiu, I've long wanted to meet you for a while, today, let's see you under this tiger prison.

When countless figures loomed out of the smoke and dust, this invincible general still couldn't help but change color. Zijin Huguo is a large number of generals, but seeing the soldiers of the Western Army, the pace is steady, and they have arrived at the assembly place one after another. Yang Desheng regarded himself as an expert, so he naturally saw that even in the march, the Western Army maintained a relatively neat queue, which could not be pretended, and must pass years of good training.

The sound of horses' hooves, neighing, the collision of armor and weapons, and the sound of countless military flags hunting and hunting, mixed together, formed an invisible pressure, making Yang Desheng unable to laugh anymore. He stroked his long beard and squinted at his opponent's troops. When he saw that Xu Wei's army was distinct and the infantry was cleaned, he also nodded and admitted: "The Purple Gold Tiger has been famous for a while over the years, but it is not blown out, it is really a little famous." ”

I felt a little uneasy in my heart, and felt that I might be too optimistic, so I ordered: "Order all departments, start the war later, be sure to stick to their respective posts, as long as they cooperate with each other properly, our army's formation will be unbreakable."

Xu Wei wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and sighed: "I met the autumn tiger today, Zongben, take a look." ”

Zhang Xian responded, looked at the opponent's formation from a distance on horseback, and said: "There is indeed the shadow of the stacked array, the riding position of this step, the obstacles in front of the formation, the bow and crossbow group in the middle, and the magic of the stacking array, the opponent's main general does not seem to be good at it." ”

At this point, the words changed: "But the weakness is also obvious, on both sides, as long as the striker is broken, and the two sides rush again, this formation will collapse." ”

Xu Wei looked at the opponent's large formation and said: "In front of his formation, he has widely placed antlers to resist horses, and they are connected by iron hooks, and there are pikemen behind him to form a dense phalanx, although the cavalry is behind the formation, but it can arch up at any time." If you want to storm the past, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Nowadays, the Jin army also has sharp weapons such as divine arms, bows, bed beds, crossbows, etc., which should not be underestimated. ”

Zhang Xian suddenly felt very interesting, usually, our army often set up a stacked array to offset the benefits of the Jurchen horse army. Unexpectedly, today, the Western Army will also face such a solid formation.

The most conservative and normal way of playing, the heavy infantry swarmed up and attacked his main formation, and the cavalry outflanked from both sides. But the opponent's main formation is very dense, even if it is a tiger rock, it may not be easily torn apart. The cavalry on both wings passed, and the other side also had cavalry to pick up, although there was also a certainty of victory, but the casualties must be not small.

While they were talking, Li Chengwei had already led the fire cavalry to the front of the army, one south and one north with Yang Zaixing's department, protecting the two wings of the whole army. This allows the boss to summon senior generals and arrange them calmly.

Xu Wei got off the horse and half-knelt on the ground, and Zhang Xian, Wu Lan, Du Feihu and others would gather around him. The Purple Gold Tiger was holding a branch in his hand and was scratching on the ground. In a short time, the enemy's formation was already leaping to the ground.

"Somoto also said that in order to break his formation, it is necessary to break his forward and open the situation from the flank. But looking at the opponent's formation method, it attaches great importance to the coordination of foot and horseman, which is a bit confusing. What do you guys think? Xu Wei asked.

Wu Lan said in a deep voice: "Fighting this kind of formation, there is not much ingenuity to speak of, and it is recommended to be lowly." Use the two parts of our army's Hujie Rock, and then draw Xu Dutong's heavy infantry to form two cone formations, attack the enemy's main formation head-on, and attract bows and crossbows to attack. The cavalry, divided into left and right wings, followed behind the infantry, and once the infantry in front engaged, the horse army quickly attacked its flank bow and crossbow to move first, and if the battle situation opened, they rushed forward to help the battle, and if there was an unfavorable, they could also stabilize the position. ”

"Safe." Xu Wei nodded.

Zhang Xian knelt on one leg, supported the ground with one hand, stared at the formation drawn by Xu Wei and muttered: "This is a hard-fought style, and what you fight is the courage of the soldiers of the two armies." I also believe that our soldiers will definitely not lose to the other side, but the casualties may be larger, and it will not be easy to reap the benefits. ”

Seeing this, Wu Lan asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

Zhang Zongben chuckled lightly and pointed behind his back: "Didn't you see it?" This guy is very conceited to set up a formation outside the big camp. But he may have forgotten that behind him is the Tiger Prison. Once the whole army is defeated, where can he flee? How did you escape? ”

Xu Wei heard some meaning, nodded and said, "Go on." ”

"The meaning of lowliness is to defeat the enemy quickly, and not to wear it down for a long time. It took too long, our army suffered heavy casualties, and the other party's losses were not small, and the marshal must have noticed that the enemy had at least thousands of cavalry in his hands, don't we want to fight horses? If our army can quickly defeat the opponent and make it unable to escape, I believe it will gain a lot," Zhang Xian said with a smile.

Wu Lan asked rhetorically: "Then how can we quickly defeat the enemy army?" ”

Zhang Xian stopped laughing, and pointed to the left flank of the enemy formation on the formation map with his hand, Xu Wei looked at it, frowned, and said, "You mean, concentrate the attack on one point?" ”

Yang Desheng was very impatient to pace back and forth in the car, saying that you Zijin Tiger is also a number one, why didn't you do it for a long time? Aren't you stumped by me and don't know where to start? Damn, you just put two formations of cavalry in front to protect me, I have to wait for you until dark? If you wait until tomorrow, when the saliva and drink are coming, what kind of ability will you be able to defeat you at that time?

Just when he was in a hurry, he heard a sharp horn sounding suddenly, he turned around suddenly, grabbed the railing, leaned forward and looked forward, only to see that in the large array of the Western Army, the infantry group burst out, what happened? Xu Jiu is still the same old-fashioned, using the infantry army as a frontal offensive force? Hey, I can tell you, in my array, there are not a few divine arm bows and crossbows, if you want to touch this mold, I won't stop you

But if you look closely, it's not like that. The infantry of the Western Army was divided into two formations, organized two large-scale cone-shaped assault formations, and slowly drove out. Looking again, the cavalry on both wings also followed behind after the infantry came out. The entire offensive formation of the Western Army is like an awl, and isn't it exactly the tactic that Wu Lan just said?

"Ask for the minister, this is the ......," the general asked puzzled.

"Cone formation, one of Sun Bin's ten formations." Yang Desheng's face was not good-looking, not because of fear, but because of anger. "The Purple Gold Tiger is also too underestimated that my cone formation is often used as a frontal forced assault, he is not looking for ingenuity, he wants to directly defeat our army and pass on my general's order, let the horse army arch up, line up on the left and right sides of the main formation, keep a distance, and pull it into a straight line"

After the military order was issued, Yang Desheng said to his generals: "He wants to use the two sharp formations of the infantry army to attract my bow and crossbow, once the infantry army engages, the cavalry that follows behind will quickly impact my sides, Xu Jiu can see the weakness of my formation, but it is worthy of the Purple Golden Tiger."

"That prime minister arched the cavalry up......"

"Just don't give him a chance to impact, force him to meet the bow and crossbow, cavalry against cavalry, so that he can't take advantage" Yang Desheng sneered. "Hmph, if you want to play the formation in front of me, he still has a little bit of meaning, Lao Tzu's decades of military books are not read in vain"

As he spoke, the offensive cluster of the Western Army had begun to speed up, and the infantry army in front of him held a spear more than two feet long, and divided into two cone formations and collided head-on towards the main formation of the Jin Army. Yang Desheng saw the advantages of the opponent's attack formation at a glance. The sharp formation, coupled with the sharp equipment, once the hand-to-hand contact, it can easily tear through the solid phalanx and the opposing side, and will have to face the countless sharp spear points that continue to pour in.

Under the light of the sun, thousands of Western Army infantry let out a thunderous roar, and the bright spear tips in their hands were reflected in a reflection, which dazzled the eyes of the Jin Army soldiers Yang Desheng knew that this was just a bluff, and what really mattered was that he was unhurried and silently followed behind the infantry army, and the enemy cavalry half hidden in the dust could not be heard, my cavalry was already covered on both wings, how do you want to rush?

Li Chengwei carried a three-eyed musket, carried the reins, and the war horse stepped on small steps, leading two thousand fire riders, following behind. The comrades of the infantry army had already launched an attack, and the smoke and dust raised made the distant scene a little blurred, but it could still be seen that the other party had arched the horse army up......

He turned his head sideways to look at Yang Zaixing's department at the other end, and saw that the other party was almost in line with him, following behind the infantry army. Later, he must rush fast

A high-pitched howl rose to the sky, and the infantry of the two cones knew that they were about to enter the range of the opponent's bow and crossbow, so they lifted the full speed of the strong soldiers, wearing dozens of pounds of armor, holding spears, broadswords, and heavy axes, and walked with steady steps, like a sharp spear piercing the main formation of the Jin army

Li Chengwei sometimes admired these comrades in the infantry army, because they always charged into battle with their flesh and blood, and they often had to face cavalry with thousands of forces, and even heavy cavalry equipped with armor such as Tiefutu

Yang Desheng's expression was solemn, his right hand was slowly raised, and then it fell heavily

"Divine Arm Bow Release" As his hand fell, the herald shouted loudly

The divine arm bow used to be a sharp weapon that the Song army did not show easily, and one was lost, and military law was engaged. But now, Beiyi has completely mastered the manufacturing method of this device, so that the Song army has to face the weapon they once trusted the most.

When the short iron arrow roars out of the arrow, it means that it will not be empty, and there will be no missing shot

Three hundred paces away, the fearless warriors who roared and charged fell to the ground one by one. Because the speed of the Divine Arm Bow is extremely fast and the penetrating power is extremely strong, when the soldier is hit by an arrow, his body will not shake much at all, and the arrow will already penetrate the body and then hit the person behind

Fortunately, today they did not use the usual phalanx, but changed to the cone formation with the smallest attack surface, otherwise, huge casualties would have been inevitable.

However, this kind of scene, whether it is Qin Fengjun or Liangxing Army, has already experienced too much. His companions fell to the ground, screaming in pain, but without any effect on them, they still clutched their weapons and rushed at full speed towards the enemy

"Looking for death," Yang Desheng shouted through gritted teeth. "All kinds of crossbows, shoot a salvo and let it come to my front, and half of it will die first"

With the issuance of this military order, the strings in the Jin army's array sounded like rain hitting the roof tiles, but all the crossbows with a range stronger than the bow came in handy, and the whistling arrows drew a shadow on the head of the Jin army

In the face of the dense rain of arrows, the two formations of infantry troops are still indomitable Yang Desheng saw with his own eyes that in the case of such an attack, the western army still maintained a formation, did not collapse, did not mess, and continued to impact He couldn't help but be shocked, in the end, the western army is the western army to this distance, and the opposing horse army is about to start to attack, right?

At this time, Yang Zaixing, who had been following the left flank of the infantry army, quickly raised his iron spear, his eyes were round, and he shouted loudly: "Blow the trumpet"
