The phalanx tactic is a tactic used by the armies of all countries in the era of cold weapons, the purpose is to widen the front to defeat the enemy's main force in one fell swoop. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the debut of hot weapons on the world military stage, a firepower point can often sweep across a piece, cold weapons withdraw from the battlefield, and then the ancient phalanx is wiped out with it, replaced by skirmishers and cluster skirmisher line tactics.

In the recent European war, some rigid generals could still be seen using the phalanx defensive line thinking to confront the increasingly sophisticated industrial technology, and the result was a complete defeat.

However, in the battle that had just begun outside Luoyang City, the old army was a phalanx at the beginning, but when it was about to meet the enemy, the formation changed greatly, from concentrated to dispersed, from the main force concentrated to attack the enemy's front, into two flanks outflanking, central assault!

For a time, Zhou Wentuan's firepower coverage network and cross-fire network all lost their power, coupled with the idea of underestimating the enemy, when the soldiers were not ready, the old army divided Zhou Wen's troops into two or three parts.

The first part is the first-line defensive position, at this time the position is staggered, you have me, I have you, in close combat, the hot weapon is not even as good as a burning stick.

The second part is the two wings of Zhou Wen's ambush in advance, the machine gun company on the left is a dog eating hedgehogs and has no way to put his mouth down, and the pistol company on the right side wants to go up but does not dare to go up, and it is in a dilemma, and these two wings are equivalent to scrapping.

The third part is Zhou Wen himself, the Chinese army is lagging behind, in preparation for the reserve, but at this time, what he thinks of is not to immediately put his troops into the battlefield, but to transfer all the encircled forces out of the position, he thought that in this way, he could achieve or basically achieve tactical expectations, but who knows, the tactics of the old army are for this!

The first part is mainly responsible for attracting, the second part is responsible for encircling, and the third part is responsible for total annihilation, the task is clear, the responsibility is meticulous, but the situation on the battlefield that cannot be resisted is changing rapidly, and the main general is confused for a while, and he can bury the lives of thousands of brothers!

The attracted troops did attract enough enemy troops, but as soon as the two companies of the encirclement swarmed up, the old army got off the donkey, and immediately transferred two teams from the reserve, and quickly interspersed with the periphery of Zhou Wen's two wings, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they actually formed a counter-encirclement of it!

When Zhou Wen witnessed the situation in front of him, it suddenly dawned on him that the small detachments that had rushed to the headquarters at the beginning were not coming at them at all, but formed a defensive line outside the anti-joint encirclement that had just been formed!

This tactic, in the later development of tactical history, was called the external encirclement, and the goal: to block or even completely annihilate its reinforcements!

The shouting of killing shook the sky, Zhou Wen only had the kung fu to stare dryly, no matter how his people fought hard, he was stunned and repelled by the old army defense line that had just been formed in front of him!

Leading this defensive force is none other than the old army commander Lao Shi!

Old Shi was dressed in rags, wielding a long stick that had already been broken in half, and he took his old brothers to nest in the trenches dug in advance by Zhou Wen's troops, waiting for the enemy to charge again and again!

Zhou Wen regretted it at this time, let's shoot, I can't beat the old army in the trenches, let's charge, these rabbit cubs are not the opponents of those old men at all, but if they don't charge, they can't do it, the two thousand brothers in front are still blocked in the pit and beaten!

For a while, just raising the white flag to surrender and stretching out their hands to announce their withdrawal from the battlefield, there were no less than hundreds of people one after another, and some of the soldiers of the Zhensong Army didn't even have the strength to raise their hands, and they were lying on the ground wailing one by one, which was even bloodier than the battlefield!

"Kill!" Waves of shouting and killing made Zhou Wen almost desperate! At this moment, he can't wait to pull a few cannons and kill these bastards in front of him!

However, it doesn't work to be ruthless, you have to rush, so, after failing again and again, Zhou Wen launched a fearless attack again and again, but when the thirteenth charge failed, he suddenly saw that the eyes of the soldiers in front of him were red and swollen, and there was timidity in their eyes, this look made Zhou Wen very frightened, because this indicated that this battle would end with his complete defeat!

Sure enough, the screams of the soldiers who were surrounded became smaller and smaller, and the shouts of killing in the encirclement became smaller and smaller, but the defensive force in front of them seemed to be getting bigger and bigger!

This shows that the encirclement has reached the stage of cleaning up the battlefield, and next, the only target of the old army is his own headquarters.

Old Stone hadn't fought such a big battle for a long time, his eyes were bloodshot, the green tendons on his two arms were bursting, and his chest was rising and falling violently, he didn't care what kind of bullshit this was, fighting a war is a war, and he had to win!

"Big brothers, old brothers! There are only a few wastes left in front of us, should we fight or not? Old Stone shouted at the old brothers beside him.

After all, the old soldiers are all old, and the youngest ones are all in their forties, and they have run down for five or six miles, even beating and biting, which is really a waste of strength, and they are panting and red-faced, but when they hear the Lord shouting like this, they answer unequivocally one by one: "The people of the country, immortal and immortal!" ”

"Good! Since the old brothers haven't killed enough, let's make you happy again! Listen, brothers! Order, annihilation! The old stone shouted, and the first one jumped out of the trench, and then, the wooden stick pointed at Zhou Wen's headquarters and shouted: "Brothers, kill!" ”

"Kill!" In an instant, the overwhelming shouts of killing broke out, these old bones all knew that this battle was estimated to be the last battle, and in the future, King Lu might have to let them go home to support their grandchildren, so they simply sprinkled all the energy they had accumulated in the past 20 years here!

Poor Zhou Wen didn't know anything about these stories, he was not only facing a group of veterans who had been in battle for a long time, but also a fierce man who had been holding back his strength for 20 years! This sour and refreshing will be remembered by Zhou Wen for the rest of his life!
