Chapter 380 ['The Great Shift']
It seemed that a heavy rain was coming, the dark clouds were very low, and there were thousands of wind knives wrapped in the north wind, which seemed to pierce the heavy bronze armor of the soldiers, and take away the last trace of warmth.
Pang Cong stood upright on the chariot, his straight body like a long branch. He was looking up at the sky, and under the dark clouds in the sky, there were pieces of black clouds that suddenly appeared, and they were attacking the Wei army with a 'silky' roar, this is the Qin army's world-famous strong bow and arrow? It seems that in the hands of this Bai Zi, it is even more terrifying, he has seen several personal guards fall under the arrows, these are the strongest elite warriors, but even if they wear three layers of thick armor and hold a half-human-high oil vine shield, they will still be killed by the Qin people's bows and arrows
"General, danger!"
Pang Cong's chariot was twice as large as an ordinary chariot, the body armor could cover the waist, and in front of him, there were three soldiers holding shields to protect him at all times. It was only two pillars of incense, and more than 30 soldiers had been killed or wounded by the arrow.
The new guard jumped into the car and couldn't help but remind Pang Cong that the Qin army's bow and crossbow were too terrible, and it didn't matter how many soldiers were killed or wounded, if the general was slightly injured, it would be a major event that affected the fate of the whole army.
This battle came so suddenly, no one thought that it would be the Qin army that would attack first, and no one thought that Bai Dong would be so bold and actually mobilize the main force of the army away from Daliang; It was a nightmare, and since yesterday evening, it has been fighting for six hours, and although the Wei army has suffered heavy casualties, the Qin army does not know how many casualties it has suffered. This place, known as 'Zeng Jiawa', has become a real battlefield of flesh and blood.
"I'm going to be fine. The shield moved out of the way somewhat. Don't block my eyes! ”
Pang Cong snorted coldly, took a step forward, separated the shield in front of him with his hand, and just happened to have a sharp arrow drilled through the gap, Pang Cong raised his hand like a sword to cut off the sharp arrow, still looking at the front expressionlessly.
When noon came, the heavy dark clouds were finally pierced by the sun, allowing him to see farther and more clearly. Just glanced at the battlefield, Pang Cong gasped unconsciously, the tragic situation on the battlefield made him, a veteran general, also have some heart palpitations, this is only half a day, there are no less than 10,000 corpses on the battlefield alone, the red armor is the Wei army, the black robes are the Qin people, the most fierce battle, the corpses are two or three feet high, some of the black and red blood has dried up on the ground, and some are still meandering
One will become famous. After all, Pang Cong is not a compassionate character, and such a tragic situation only made his gaze pause slightly. And he looked up to the east.
The speed of the Qin army's movement was undoubted, and even he never thought that hundreds of thousands of Qin troops would suddenly emerge from the ground line, and then quickly surround his army.
What a white building! What a big deal!
Pang Cong suddenly brightened, Bai Dong had never thought of capturing Daliang, what he really calculated was actually the Wei army that came to aid Daliang! What kind of routine is this? Sun Wu Wu Qi has never used it, and his uncle Pang Juan has not used it, and it is not recorded in any military book! This kind of fighting cannot be achieved without a communication system that surpasses the enemy's numbers, but also an army that is fast and mobile and capable of fighting tough battles.
Pang Cong suddenly admired Bai Dong very much, at least he didn't have such courage; However, this white son of the Qin State is too proud, more than 100,000 people besiege his 80,000 army, and he is still the most capable of fighting tough battles, isn't he afraid that he will not be able to encircle the enemy, but will be broken by the enemy?
And it is besieging from all sides, do you really want to use more than 100,000 people as hundreds of thousands? Death too!
Pang Cong didn't need to think much about it at all, and there was no need to convene any military meetings, just based on the instinctive reaction cultivated over the years, he made the most correct judgment, 50,000 troops formed a formation on the ground, defending against the enemy from the north, south, and west, and 30,000 soldiers formed 60 iron party formations, with a round of five phalanxes of impact frequency, directly attacking the east to encircle the enemy! As long as the enemy formation in the east is broken, the siege of the Qin army will be considered a failure, and he will fight as much as he wants!
When the Qin people's terrifying huge stone throwing and arrow rain passed, the Wei Wushu phalanx that rushed in front immediately became incomplete, but as long as Pang Cong's flag waved, they would immediately regroup, and their combat effectiveness would not be affected at all, and the unique 'volcanic array' of Pang Elite's elite was the biggest nemesis to deal with the Qin people's bow stones.
From Pang Cong's point of view, the dozens of Wei Wushu phalanx are like a huge carpet that rolls and undulates, and the phalanx soldiers in front immediately retreat according to the formation after experiencing a terrifying bow and stone bombardment, and the rear phalanx is staggered, and the queue is in an orderly manner, without the slightest confusion, and the rear crossbowmen are also exerting pressure on the opponent's army formation according to the fixed frequency and density of fire. As long as the formation is not chaotic, it doesn't matter how big the casualties are, because no matter how strong the Qin people's long-range attack power is, it can't affect the speed of the advance of the warrior phalanx.
Pang Cong knew that once the phalanx of warriors came into contact with the enemy, even the extremely strong old Qin people would be difficult to resist, and they would only flee like rabbits and then be slaughtered by the Wei army; This is a fact that has been verified countless times by Wu Zi and his uncle Pang Juan, and there is no need to doubt it at all. Sure enough, as he guessed, after paying heavy casualties, the Wei Wushu phalanx finally collided with the Qin army fiercely, and even the ground was shaking violently at that moment.
The tenacity of the Qin army was somewhat unexpected by Pang Cong, the Qin State was not as good as the Wei State, and it could not afford to raise a 'professional' army like Wei Wushu, although the bow was strong and the arrows were sharp, but when it came to basic equipment and combat effectiveness, it was not at the same level as the Wei Wushu at all, and it should not last a quarter of an hour in front of the Wushu phalanx. But this 'tattered-cled' Qin army, who was mostly a garrison soldier, actually relied on a tenacious and desperate spirit to fight with the most elite Wei warriors in the world for four or five hours! A Qin man can't fight, just two or three fight a warrior, the Qin people's sword is broken, they bite with their teeth, hit their heads with their heads, Pang Cong even saw a Qin man with broken legs hugging two warriors with his own eyes, until his arms were cut off, and his fingers still firmly grasped the ankles of the warriors, and they couldn't pull them apart.
Under this desperate fight. Four or five hours passed. The phalanx of warriors advanced only three hundred zhang. It still didn't break through the defenses of the Qin army! It can't continue like this, the Qin formation in the east can't be broken for a long time, and the Wei army will be under more pressure in the north, west, and south, God knows if Bai Dong is crazy, what is the benefit of such a lose-lose style of play to the Qin State? Wei still has hundreds of thousands of troops unmoved, and Qin can afford to consume it?
"Shake the blood flag, give up a qiē conventional formation, and the martial arts are trapped! Break through the enemy's position before the time comes. Don't hesitate to hurt! Pang Cong slowly drew out his long sword, ordered the chariot to rush forward, the Wei army shook the blood flag, and the soldiers fell into battle, this is a desperate effort to count a qiē casualties, and the blood flag is east, and the generals must take the lead!
***
"The soldiers are in battle, Pang Cong is going to fight hard. Will our army face heavy casualties, and will we continue to lure the enemy? ”
Che Ying couldn't help but walk into Bai Dong's military tent, and looked at Bai Dong, who was still in the mood to drink tea, and felt angry in his heart. There was already some questioning in the words.
"It's not about luring the enemy now, it's really desperate. Pang Cong broke through to the east. That is because there is a chasm in the east, and it is difficult for our army to retreat, and once the Wei army breaks through our army's defense, it can kill and injure our army in large quantities, which will have the effect of deterrence, and then he can take the initiative. Fighting more with less, the first thing is to mess up the hearts of the enemy's army, Pang Cong can see this, and he is worthy of being a talent taught by Pang Juan. ”
Bai Dong smiled and put down the teacup in his hand: "Originally, he was not wrong, but he didn't expect that the east side was originally what I was going to leave for him." When Bo Gongzi 'loses and retreats', it will be the Wei army who is fighting against the water at that time, but to stay is to stay, but not to give him lightly, otherwise with Pang Cong's experience, maybe he will see through my plan and have many variables, so Bo Gongzi still needs to fight hard, and he should be desperate. ”
If it is an ordinary battle, once the besieged side breaks through the enemy's defense line, the morale will inevitably rise, and the besiegers, regardless of the generals and soldiers, will inevitably fall into panic, but now they are dealing with the elusive Qin Baizi, but it is far from enough to break through, so Pang Cong not only wants to break through, but also kill and injure the Qin army in large numbers, so that the Qin army's eastern formation has become the best choice, ten miles away is the chasm, and the Qin army will have no way to retreat.
It's just that Pang Cong couldn't imagine that Bai Dong would use a 'great shift in the world' to calculate that he would break through to the east, and the Qin army would wait to take off his robe and give way. At that time, Ying Qian, who was in charge of the eastern military formation, would be 'defeated', but the Qin army in the north and southwest would move with the Wei army and encircle it on the west bank of the chasm on three sides!
There is an essential difference between a prepared 'rout' and a real 'rout', in order to direct this 'big rout' and 'big move', the eastern Qin army planned a reasonable method of 'rout' a few days in advance, and the other three Qin armies will also closely cooperate with Pang Cong, when he thinks he is victorious, he will find that the Qin army has not been affected by the 'defeat' at all, but his victor is still surrounded by the Qin army.
It is Han Xin who can still win the battle against the water, but it is not that he is a bulky onion, in the final analysis, this is still a taboo for soldiers. What's more, the current gap is still a semi-finished product, in order to dig the clear canal, most of the upstream water veins have been diverted, and the water level after a few autumn rains is at most calf deep, which is not as good as the deep water and the waves, which may also force the Wei army to desperately. The current gap just meets the tactical needs of Bai Dongwei's three missing one.
However, Pang Cong is not a fool after all, even if he wants to change positions, he must do it seamlessly, and it is indispensable to fight hard and hard. Bai Dong has been mentally prepared, it is worth sacrificing 10,000 people for this to win the Qian army, but he didn't expect that he, the 'newcomer' who was leading the army for the second time, was not in a hurry, and Che Ying, an old bird, was in a hurry first. Maybe the battle in the east was too bad, and even Che Ying couldn't stand it, after all, most of the troops he put there were ordinary combat effectiveness, and if it took a long time, I was afraid that he would not be able to retreat calmly according to the plan with the ability to win piety
"Okay, the herald ordered the first army of Bo Gongzi to fight after the break with thousands of 'sacrificed soldiers', and the whole army was divided into pieces, and gradually withdrew from the battlefield in units of 100 people; As soon as Bo Gongzi retreated, the whole army immediately squeezed the Wei army from three sides! Be sure to drive them to the West Bank of the Chasm! ”
Bai Dong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the east, he really wanted to see Pang Cong's expression of joy and surprise, this huge general would definitely be very lost and depressed at that time, right? (To be continued......)
