Chapter 213: No One Is Stupid

"I can't imagine that Huang Taiji is quite smart? He thought that Lao Tzu's infantry phalanx would be chaotic when it moved forward, and he thought that after Lao Tzu's infantry phalanx moved forward, it would be far away from the camp, and the opportunity for his emperor Taiji to completely annihilate Lao Tzu would come, okay...... Lao Tzu fulfilled your Huang Taiji's wish today. ”

Yang Tingjian slapped on the guardrail of the command car, and after a "snap", Yang Tingjian ordered loudly:

"The whole army slowly advanced to a distance of two miles from Jiannu...... Tell the commanders at all levels, let everyone walk in unison to the beat of the drum......"

The walkie-talkie and walkie-talkie immediately conveyed Yang Tingjian's order, and the snare drum corps to which the Chinese army belonged had more than a dozen huge drum stands on a four-wheeled carriage, and in front of each drum stood a strong man, who without exception held a pair of large drum hammers in their hands.

The captain of the snare drum team took the lead in gently striking the edge of the drum three times with a drum hammer, and the sound of "bangbang" was the attack, and all the drummers immediately made preparations before hitting the drum after hearing the three attacks, and then more than a dozen drummers struck the drum at the same time, "dong...... The sound of the drum resounded in the sky, and the sound was enough for all the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army to hear.

The rhythm of the drum is very slow, and the interval between the "dong dong" sounds is three seconds, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben army all step on the drum and walk in unison, because the rhythm of the drum beat is very slow, and all the soldiers can basically keep up with the pace of the vanguard.

These vanguard soldiers are the veterans of the Tiger Army, they have overcome the fear of the first battlefield, they can step on the drum and walk in unison, the other soldiers are watching the vanguard walk, even if their recruits, their hearts are so nervous, they can also keep up with the pace of the vanguard. At least there was no confusion when the whole phalanx moved forward. The whole formation has also remained largely intact.

On a command car next to Yang Tingjian, there stood several staff officers, who were carefully selected by Yang Tingjian, and this was a department set up by Yang Tingjian with reference to later generations -- the General Staff Department, and these staff officers held binoculars in one hand and walkie-talkies in the other. Commanding the formation loudly.

"Attention to the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the Forward Formation, your position is already five steps behind, adjust it immediately. …… On the right side, the second company of the 5th battalion should pay attention to the protrusion of your position, and pay attention to adjusting the forward speed. ”

In a large formation of tens of thousands of people, although the speed of moving forward is very slow, it is inevitable that various situations will occur, but fortunately, there are staff officers to command the formation. Only then did the entire formation remain intact in the forward movement.

The Tiger Ben Army's marching in unison uses the American-style high leg lifting, the method of re-settling the foot, every foot is stepped on, it is a "bang" sound, tens of thousands of people step on such steps to walk in unison, it is spectacular, the vibration of the ground can be transmitted to several miles away, and the sound is deafening.

The Tiger Ben army advanced like a wall. Give Huang Taiji a feeling of Mount Tai pressing on the top, and the war horse under the crotch. He also became restless at the footsteps of the Tiger Army. War horses are spiritual creatures, and they have always been the most sensitive to danger, which makes Huang Taiji's mood heavy.

Huang Taiji's change of tactics was to lure the Tiger Ben Army to take the initiative to attack, according to Huang Taiji's understanding, even if tens of thousands of elite Jianzhou warriors had to move a few miles, they would not be able to maintain their formation in the end. The restrictions of the terrain, the transmission of orders, etc., the formation of tens of thousands of people could not move without scattering at all, but the Ming army on the opposite side did it, which surprised Huang Taiji.

The result? The Ming army on the opposite side slowly moved forward. It's not chaotic at all, and the formation is basically intact, which scares Huang Taiji, how did these Ming troops do it. In ancient times, to see whether an army was elite or not, it was based on its formation, and if the formation movement was not chaotic or scattered, the army was well-trained, and on the contrary, it was a rabble.

Huang Taiji instantly had a very absurd idea, Huang Taiji didn't want to fight, but Huang Taiji had to fight, these Ming troops were here to end his lair. Most of the population and wealth plundered by Huang Taiji in the early stage were hoarded in Yingzhou, and it was impossible for Huang Taiji to give up.

Moreover, the other banner masters under Huang Taiji are leading the troops to fight a bloody battle with the Ming army in front, but he, the emperor, wants to flee in front of the Ming army and abandon all the soldiers in front, is it possible? There is no possibility, on the question of whether to fight or not, Huang Taiji has no choice but to choose to fight to the death, otherwise he is not worthy of being the emperor of Houjin.

Huang Taiji looked at the Tiger Ben army advancing like a wall with a solemn face, and several generals around Huang Taiji asked for help, they were Yang Guli, Sony, Suke Saha, Kubilong, and Aobai.

"Your Majesty, let's fight!"

"Your Majesty, please let Weichen lead the army to assault the left flank of Minggou......"

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said with a red face:

"Everyone, don't be impatient, I see that these Ming troops are also elite, I am afraid that it will be a vicious battle today, you must go all out to annihilate these Ming troops."

"Chirp ......"

The Tiger Ben army advanced slowly, and of course their rear team was getting farther and farther away from the camp, which meant that if Yang Tingjian was defeated, the distance to flee back to the camp would be farther and farther.

Yang Tingjian's command vehicle was also slowly moving with the Chinese army, and although there were all kinds of minor problems in the entire formation moving forward, the staff officers were able to correct them in time, and the role of the staff officers was reflected.

"Fifteen hundred meters from Jiannu...... 1,000 ...... 800 meters ......"

Yang Tingjian's personal rangefinder reported the distance loudly, and when the distance was eight hundred meters, Yang Tingjian suddenly ordered:

"The whole army stopped advancing......"

Yang Tingjian's order was immediately conveyed to the front-line commander via walkie-talkie, and the front-line commander issued the order to stop the advance step by step. It is basically impossible for tens of thousands of troops to stop at the same time, and when the commander of the first line receives the order to stop advancing, he will let his soldiers stand still.

In an instant, the shouts of "stand still" came and went, because the speed of progress was so slow that there would be no previous pushing.

"Knock...... The drums of the ...... also became slower, and the footsteps of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army turned into small steps, and at the same time adjusted their positions. This was followed by four consecutive hammer strikes, and all the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army immediately shouted in unison:

"One, two, three, four."

When the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army shouted, they adjusted their positions at the end to keep their teams in a straight line.

The Tiger Ben Army stopped in an instant, this ability to let tens of thousands of people order and prohibit it, so that Jiannu was also deeply shocked, but Yang Tingjian smiled happily, he had reached the attack position, and Jiannu did not attack in his own advance, then they lost the last chance.

Yang Tingjian's Tiger Army, mainly too many recruits, this recruit on the battlefield is nervous, if they are attacked in the move, especially a fierce all-out attack, it is easy to cause chaos and formation collapse, as long as the formation of the Tiger Army collapses, the Tiger Army with musketeers as the main type of troops, can only be slaughtered.
