Chapter 166: Battle Command

Sure enough, some staff members hurriedly found a group of heralds and released the news. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qu Xuan smiled, patted Yu Xin on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the city tower, and strive to gnaw down the city gate and let the army enter the city smoothly." ”

It turned out that the Chu army only controlled the city wall above the city gate, and the city gate hole was still in the hands of Chen Jun, although the switch to control the opening of the city gate was on the city tower, but the city gate had long been blocked by the boulder, and if you wanted to open the city gate, the city gate hole must also be controlled, and the boulder could be moved. Otherwise, the supporting army can only climb the ladder to the city, not to mention the slow speed, and it is very easy to cause congestion, after all, the space of the city's head corridor is limited, and the army at the head of the city has failed to take the passage to the lower city, and the army at the head of the city has become a live target for Chen's army.

This is also why the siege of the city was attacked from all sides in the early stage, because too many troops were concentrated on one city wall, there was no way to carry it out, and in the end, it was just a tactic to add oil, which was a taboo for soldiers.

Yu Xin followed Qu Xuan to the city tower. Along the way, many soldiers who saw Yu Xin looked sideways, obviously knowing the news brought by Yu Xin.

Yu Xin naturally didn't bother to pay attention to this. Now, of course, he's not worried about an explosion. Anyway, if you're in the city, let's die. Yu Xin is this character.

He was now curiously looking at the battle between Chen and Chu's two armies. Although Yu Xin has experienced it once, this time as a bystander, he is not as distracted as last time. That attack on King Chen's palace, Yu Xin was actually very afraid afterwards, in case the palace was heavily guarded, in case it was found to be blocked at the city gate, in case it failed to hold the officials of Chen State hostage... If one of these kinds happens, the two thousand of them will have no return.

Yu Xin found that it was difficult to climb the city outside the city, but in fact, it was not so easy to climb the city inside the city. In his opinion, although the construction of the city may have taken into account that the head of the city was captured and needed to be quickly supported by the transfer of troops in the city, and the two roads with gentle slopes on the left and right were specially built to reduce the enemy's condescending advantage, but it still could not avoid being on the inferior side.

At present, the Chu army has occupied a road to the city on the left, condescendingly suppressing the Chen army who intends to enter the city from here. Although the Chen army desperately braved the rain of arrows and swords to rush forward, the Chu army had no way to retreat and could only resist to the death. If you want to retreat from the city wall several feet high, it is not enough to rely on a dozen ladders.

If you retreat, you will die, this is the bloody reality of the two armies fighting each other.

Now is the time to test the endurance of the two armies. From time to time, people in both armies died, and others rushed forward at the cost of their lives. The Chu army only relied on dozens of ladders, and the speed of reinforcement was naturally not as fast as the Chen army. Fortunately, the space at the head of the city was limited, and the only places where the two armies came into contact were the sides of the city wall and the two ways to climb the city. This greatly eased the pressure on the Chu army, and also made the Chu army's more outstanding individual combat power better played. The casualties of the Chen army were far greater than those of the Chu army.

"The most important thing now is to control the Dengcheng Road on the right, we can't go on like this with the Chen army, and we have to face the Qi and Jin coalition forces that may come. If the casualties are too large, I am afraid that I will win this game, and then I will have to pay back. Qu Xuan frowned. Obviously, as the supreme commander of the front, there is no need to explain so much. She just wanted Yu Xin to know more about the battle formation.

Yu Xin's scheming is good, but the command of the battle formation does not know anything, and he does not even understand the most basic arrangement of troops, which Qu Xuan knows very well. And she had a very strange feeling in her heart, although Yu Xin said that she was going to the city to comfort the army, but she vaguely felt that Qi Zilan should still want him to know more about the battle formation, because she deliberately said it in enough detail when she gave the order.

If this is in normal times, where would she be needed to be so much. As a general of the expedition to the north, all the guards of the war are under her command, not to mention that only one look can let the generals know her mind, but just a few key words, or even a few key words, can let the generals know how to do it. This is a tacit understanding that has only been cultivated over the past ten years. If it weren't for Mi Zilan, a member of the royal family, who came to intervene, the marshal of this attack on Chen would naturally be her, instead of being demoted to the general of the Right Guard.

Of course, although she was demoted to the military position, her influence in the army of Hua Chen was still there, and Qi Zilan targeted her before to establish her prestige. However, all this changed quickly after Yu Xin arrived, otherwise Qu Xian's life would not be too easy. Of course, the most important thing is to help Mi Zilan establish her prestige, although it is still worse than Qu Xuan, but with her royal identity, she can still suppress the generals of the army. Besides, Yu Xin also drew a big cake for her.

Yu Xin raised his eyes and saw that the section of the city wall near the Dengcheng Road on the right was indeed the focus of the battle between the two armies, and the casualties of the Chu army in this place were also even greater than those on the left, dozens of people died every moment, and the two armies were even standing on the pile of corpses to fight.

Yu Xin nodded solemnly and said: "Then what should we do, just attack it like this, our troops still have to support the defense of the Dengcheng Road on the left, and then we need to break through the defense line of the Chen army on the right It seems that the troops are not enough." ”

Qu Xuan shook his head, and sure enough, Yu Xin was still too immature.

"How wide is this wall, but our people can't go to the city in time, so you feel that the troops are stretched, in fact, the most important thing at the moment is not the number of troops, but how to effectively deploy the troops, otherwise we don't have to rush to grab the city gate."

Yu Xin thought of the dozen or so military formations under the city and was a little surprised, and there were still many soldiers in his own family who had not gone to the city. I wondered why a large part of the city wall had been taken down, and why those soldiers didn't go up, it turned out that there were not enough ladders. Thinking about this clearly, Yu Xin blushed a little.

"Then let's concentrate those ladders that are still attacking other sections of the city wall in this section under our control, will it be possible to speed up our ascent to the city?"

"Well, I've already sent a herald. However, the length of this section of the city wall is limited, and these ladders cannot be placed, so we must expand the section of the city wall we occupy to both sides. Eh, I couldn't get to the city before, and I had a headache, but now that I'm in the city, I still have a headache. Qu Xuan sighed with some emotion, and his eyes, which had been watching the dynamics of the battlefield, suddenly caught a glimpse of the section of the city wall on the left that seemed to be loosened by the defensive line of Chen's counterattack, and hurriedly turned his head to the staff beside him. Hurry up and let the new soldiers go to the left to stabilize the defense line, the right side first take the defensive, be sure to wipe out all the Chen army on the left side of the city wall, the left side of the city road is already in our hands, as long as the remnants of the Chen army are cleared, then a large section of the city wall on the left side can be used to transport troops to the city. ”

Before Qu Xuan could finish speaking, the staff had already found a herald to convey the order carefully. Qu Xuan's military order can be solved in a few simple words or even a few words, but if it is directly issued to the herald, it is very easy to misunderstand, so it is necessary for the staff to refine and be specific. For example, this time we will increase the number of troops on the left side. Qu Xuan just said this, and the staff had to give a detailed order to the herald to send the soldiers of those schools to support, only in this way would there be no mistakes.

In ancient times, when this kind of information transmission was very slow and difficult, if the military order was conveyed a little problem, it would greatly affect the entire war situation. If that's why ancient wars were usually more frontal, it's the kind of I'm going to fight you, okay, I know, I'm going to defend. And as soon as there was a kind of war with flexible and scheming troops, it was hailed as a military miracle. Moreover, there is such a sentence that "generals will not be subject to foreign military orders", which is to let the generals have more decision-making power on the spot, so that there will not be a situation where the enemy's ambush circle is obviously drilled into it in order to follow the plan.
