Volume 5 "Fighting" Chapter 120: Soldiers' Battle Strategies (Reward Point Monthly Pass)

The sun is in the sky, shining on the earth. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because it is in the season of melting snow, the air is filled with a cold air, and no matter how strong the sunlight is, it seems that people cannot feel warm......

Lin Bin grabbed the reins of the war horse and drove the Absolute Shadow to stand on the side of the road. He jumped off his horse and grabbed a handful of dirt, feeling the humidity from the dirt, "This is not a good time to fight. ”

Fortunately, Lin Bin's method of training the army is relatively special, not to let the knights nest in the city and play with sticks, but to still fight outside in the snow season, although it will still have an impact but will not make the army lose its combat effectiveness.

Lin Bin dared to go to war will inevitably be fully prepared, the Han Kingdom is rich, although there is no so-called cotton jacket now, but the cloth is sufficient, and the wool is fully utilized now, most of the soldiers' robes are stuffed with processed wool, and non-combat attrition cannot be avoided, but they can try their best to prepare to reduce the number.

Each knight's horse was hunched with a precipitated leather bag, which contained rice soaked with meat foam, which was definitely not food for soldiers, but fodder for war horses. The soldier's food was wrapped into dozens of knotted cloth sacs, some of which hung on the belly of the warhorse, and the three fixed ones were carried behind the back along with the quiver, which contained processed preserved food, and of course a small amount of cooked yellow rice that had been kneaded into a ball (yellow rice was sticky), and there was no need to describe the water. The so-called knots, the food in each knot is the amount of food for a soldier.

Lin Bin is a professional soldier and will not make stupid mistakes, and the army does not have the saying that it cooks at all when carrying out a long-range attack, for a long-range attack. Concealment is a matter of success or failure, and there is no pause unless it is a necessary rest, and there is no fire to cook stews during the rest. Otherwise, the rising smoke will reveal the location.

The feeding of the war horses is especially important! War horses generally have delicate stomachs, and they refuse to eat undried forage unless they are extremely hungry. Let the war horse be free to gnaw on the grass? Professional soldiers do not make such low-level mistakes, first of all, the war horses are accustomed to the treated fodder and have lost interest in the grass; In addition, if the horse eats dewy grass, it will run thin, which means that it will get sick and lose its instinct to run quickly. If it is severe, it will cause large-scale horse plague.

How many armies are just perishing on small details that don't notice? The list goes on!

Lin Bin climbed back onto the war horse, he called for the grassroots, and pulled out the sheepskin map from the bucket behind the grassroots. Then it slowly opened against the horse's neck. Some things become instincts once learned, and he never wants to forget them, he tested the distance with his fingers and pulled open the armor sleeve of his left wrist, revealing his military watch. He looked at the compass on the strap of his watch. Again, determine the direction. A definite conclusion was reached, and it was necessary to march another hundred and eighty-three miles to reach the predetermined position.

"What is this?"

Lin Bin re-rolled up the sheepskin map, handed it to the grassroots, and then looked at Liu Yicui who asked the question, looked at her silently for a while, and greeted: "Chen Xi!" ”

Chen Xi patted his horse and clenched his fists: "Humble here!" ”

"You lead the forward cavalry first, and look for a hidden basin to the left and right of the predetermined lot."

Chen Xi responded with a "promise" and shouted, "Drive!" ”。 A shout, a knight galloped under his leadership. Fade away.

Although the cavalry marched fast, the upper limit of a day's and night's march would still not exceed two hundred miles, and in order to achieve the suddenness of the long-range attack, it was necessary not to stop too close to the enemy's garrison. At present, the upper limit of the distance between the military scouts is also 50 miles, that is to say, the distance between 50 miles is the most difficult to be discovered.

Lin Bin raised his hand and waved, and the knowing officer immediately turned his horse's head and galloped towards the various marching sections of the whole army.

Vaguely you can hear the four hooves of the war horse stepping on the sound of 'boom' thick hooves, but 'tsk' general strange sound, the spring in northern Xinjiang is like this, the wetness of the soil is very large, and it is delusional to want to carry out traditional marching operations, because the wheels will be stuck in the mud, and the road will be crushed into mud if there are more frames, and it is difficult to walk on foot at that time. Therefore, if the Han army, with the infantry army as the main force, wants to fight in the grassland, the difficulty is not ordinary!

"What did you just ask?"

Liu Yicui's expression seemed to be a little aggrieved, and she discovered a fact, as if a jealous sister said to her, "That elm head?" Once you enter the combat mentality, you will be very fierce, and you don't like to reason with people very much. It's going to get rough, so be careful! She thought that Lin Bin would ignore herself, but she didn't think that it would take so long before she asked again.

"No ......, no ......"

Lin Bin looked at it a few times in puzzlement, and didn't have time to rub these up, so he summoned Yun Zhao again and inquired in detail about the morale of the soldiers of the rear army, and the answer he got was, "The morale is high, and the desire to fight is very strong." ”。

Yun Zhao may have been driving the horse and galloping because he hadn't gotten used to it, so his voice was a little shaky, he reached out and pulled up his face armor, and sighed hot air on the palm of his hand, "My lord, the speed can be faster, is it the military order to speed up?" ”

Lin Bin shook his head, "The land is wet, the surface layer is soft and hard, and the horse's hooves will be lame if they sink in, so it's okay at this speed." ”

After marching for more than an hour, Lin Bin judged that after the Han border, he ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and for a long time the Han army was lined up on the horizon. The five thousand knights changed the formation in the military order, changing the long snake formation to the goose marching formation, and the cavalry in the posture of changing the formation still only had armor and war horses, and it seemed that with the change of formation, the knight's mentality also changed, and a solemn aura arose.

The Wild Goose Formation, this formation is the most suitable formation for the cavalry to march on the open field, and the troop configuration is like a wild goose flying diagonally, so as to give full play to the power of the more mobile troops.

If you don't want to defend completely, you can choose to directly rely on the commander's command ability and the training level of the knights, and it is also the best plan to immediately switch to the Crane Wing Formation with both offense and defense when encountering the enemy.

The so-called crane wing formation is that the general is located in the middle of the formation and is surrounded by heavy troops. The wings of the crane are spread out on the left and right, and it is a formation that is both offensive and defensive. The tactical thinking is mainly mobile 'left and right outflanking,' and the crane wing array requires the generals to have a high tactical command ability. The two wings can be opened and closed freely, which can be used to copy both sides of the enemy's army, and can work together to flank the enemy who breaks into the middle of the formation. The two wings should be maneuverable, closely coordinated, and fiercely attacked. Otherwise, the purpose will not be achieved.

The military formation was formed, and Lin Bin hurriedly issued a number of military orders, and in an instant, the leopard horsemen, who were mainly lightweight, broke away from the goose marching formation with a team of fifty people. He knew that in the atmosphere of the war, the herders would choose to relocate. But for the sake of caution, it is better to send out rangers to explore, after all, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"Seek, hunt. Not a single one to stay! ”

A mighty sound of "promise" made people's blood boil. Except for the tiger riders, the leopard riders were scattered in the shouts of the officers, and they were divided into multiple groups to cruise a distance of fifty miles outside the Chinese army, and once they found someone without reporting, they would immediately blow the trumpet and summon the robe to hunt and kill.

Lin Bin looked back at the tiger rider behind him, and waved his big hand: "Forward!" ”

The facts were not much different from the guesses, and after a fifty-mile march, there were not many herdsmen encountered. The herdsmen they met were also ruthlessly hunted by leopard riders in order to maintain their concealment, starting from the stone weir. A bloody road extends to the east of Yuzhong.

As night fell, the army continued to advance, and as it got closer to Shuofang, there were fewer and fewer herders to hunt and kill, and in many areas there were only corpses on the ground, destroyed tents, and after detailed analysis, judging by the humidity and skin color of the corpses, it was at least two days ago. The conclusion is drawn here that because the horse thieves are gathering, the nearby herders have either been robbed and killed or have migrated.

Lin Bin was overjoyed, the horse thieves were still armed to rob after all, and they did not use their racial advantages to make the herdsmen his eyes and ears before the war, but would be able to see the herdsmen looting and killing, which greatly reduced his concerns, after all, the action of hunting and killing herdsmen required too many troops to round up, and the leopard riders of those who were good at shooting also needed time to rest.

As night fell, a new order was issued, and the knights took out their dry rations on their horses and nibbled on them, and the whole army continued to advance to the appointed place without slowing down. Lin Bin stopped to check the compass many times, and involuntarily looked in the northwest and northeast directions, but he knew that Gongsun Hong and Jiahe's cavalry did not have a compass, and only hoped that their guides would not get lost, after all, the grassland did not provide coordinates to determine the direction, and generally relied on familiarity with the grassland to determine the direction, which was a huge risk.

Lin Bin was relieved to find that the fighting enthusiasm of the soldiers under his command had not been dissipated because of the long march, and the things that worried the main general the most before the war did not happen, which showed that the soldiers were convinced that their side could win.

Until late at night, Lin Bin's main force finally arrived at the designated position, and they entered a basin under the guidance of Chen Xi and others, and the soldiers jumped off their horses one after another. As knights, they understand the importance of war horses in battle, and hurriedly take advantage of the short rest time to feed the war horses, relax and soothe the local muscles of the war horses, and do not take out the food until they are done.

Lin Bin's shadow was naturally taken care of by his own soldiers, he summoned the scouts who had returned from reconnaissance, repeatedly determined the military situation, and concluded that there were indeed enemy troops stationed fifty miles away from the river bank in front, and almost all the officers who were watching were in good spirits. There were no mistakes in the position, then that is, there were no mistakes in the scheduled deployment, and the hope of victory was added to the point.

"Let the soldiers rest in place and try to recover their strength!"

What is needed in the state of imminent combat is to recover physical strength, and it is precisely whether it is a veteran or a new soldier, they are always unable to calm down in the state of imminent battle, and there will be a sense of excitement or tension, and the whole body will be unconsciously hot, which will consume a lot of physical strength.

"General, do you need to send more scouts?"

As we all know, grasslands are mostly flat, and if you see someone else during the day, that means that others have also seen you, and there is no possibility of hiding at all, so you always need to be very far away when conducting reconnaissance; The reconnaissance operation at night does not have that concern, and only needs to try not to make the war horse make a sound, and the chance of being detected is naturally reduced, so the number of scouts sent at night has become a norm for the attacker.

Lin Bin took the water bag handed over from the grassroots, drank it freely, and waited to see the love water with an excited face, "Try to stay calm, this will make you live longer." He pinched the yellow rice ball in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, 'Ha Haw' and swallowed it. Restrain your men and stay still! ”

Qing Shui's face twitched, and the Northern Army of their generation had no chance to fight. In addition to training or training every day, why don't you get excited about the opportunity to show your strength this time? He let out a few dry laughs of "hey", and he had to give the order.

"The number of scouts remains the same. Also, did the knight who was sent out halfway come back? ”

Hearing the question, Shuang swallowed the yellow rice ball in her mouth, poured a few mouthfuls of water, and replied with a smile: "Sensei is worried, Jiahe is doing things steadily." "This guy has been nursing for two months, and his injuries are almost suffocating. This time, he was also ordered to stay behind, and he was qualified to fight.

Lin Bin nodded, smiling gently. Frost smiled and didn't seem to care.

For a long time, they were struggling to survive, living a precarious life almost every day, fighting desperately every day just to see the sun tomorrow. Wolves are running around from one mouse to another. Although this can exercise a tenacious and tenacious character, every time I think of the dead robe, and then see a familiar person who can still show a smile, it is inevitable that a person will always feel palpitations.

The cruelty of the war does not need to be narrated, the road to the conquest is difficult and dangerous, Lin Bin only had more than 50 robes around him when he started, although he now has nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command, but the robes that he followed at the beginning are now not one in ten. In the process of growth, the soldiers were lost, and the familiar and unfamiliar people died one by one. You will feel extremely embarrassed.

*********************************************************************************

Under the dark night sky, you can occasionally hear a sound similar to the roar of an eagle, in such a cold weather, camping must need to light a fire to let people casually wrap a blanket or something to sleep next to maintain body temperature, which also makes Lin Bin and others quietly go uphill and prostrate into the western sky, they can vaguely see a faint light, this is because there are too many bonfires in that direction, and the principle of light mapping makes the clouds in the sky concentrate.

Looking down the slope, the soldiers were either sitting cross-legged on the ground or simply lying on the ground, so that the ground was black.

Lin Bin pulled open his armor sleeve again, the military watch has a fluorescent function, and the time on it is 3:14, he anxiously guessed what happened to the ranger who was sent out to contact Jiahe, but he has not come back yet. In the event of an accident with Koga's troops, the combat deployment will be disrupted, and the chances of victory will be greatly reduced.

"General......

The change in mood also made everyone dare not speak too loudly, Lin Bin heard a thin call Huo Di turned his head, "The ranger is back?" ”

The visitor replied in the affirmative: "Exactly." ”

"Good!"

Lin Bin's heart finally fell, and he changed direction prostrately, and he didn't stand up and walk until he went downhill. He went down the slope and saw all four rangers returned, and he couldn't wait to ask, "How are things going?" ”

"Lord A has entered the position!"

Lin Bin's spirits were lifted, and the two armies related to success or failure had already entered the position, according to an old saying, that is, "Why worry about not winning!" ”。 He let the four obviously very tired rangers go down to rest, and quickly ordered his own soldiers to summon the officers of the various departments.

A group of people sat around, and they seemed to know that it was time to deploy their troops, and they all gasped for breath with excitement.

"A month's deployment, all thanks to this battle!"

A seemingly simple opening sentence, it made Liu Yicui and many Northern soldiers stunned for a moment.

Liu Yicui subconsciously clenched her hands and said to herself: "It's boring." ”

Lin Bin didn't care about what they were thinking, and went straight down: "After so many deployments, the critical moment to decide success or failure has come!" Now ......"

One by one, orders came out of Lin Bin's mouth, and the officers who thought it would be very complicated did not expect that in the end, the battle plan was so simple, and they all showed confused expressions.

Although Lin Bin couldn't see their expressions, he still judged their emotions from the rhythm of the breathing of the people in the Northern Army. In order not to misunderstand that the seemingly simple command is not very important, he emphasized: "You only know what to do, and you don't have to think about the purpose of doing it!" If I misinterpret the military order, change it in vain, or fail to complete it, even if I don't die in battle, I will definitely cut off his head when I come back! ”

The cranky officer breathed as he breathed......

Complicated things should be left to the Lord's future, and it is enough for officers to know what they should do, and knowing too much can sometimes be bad. For example, greed for merit and so on.

"Alright, go down and get ready!"

All men should stand up as promises and disperse themselves to prepare.

Liu Yicui asked. "What do I need to do?"

"You? Follow me, don't do anything! After Lin Bin finished speaking, he walked away, walked two steps and didn't see Liu Yicui follow, turned his head and shouted, "Keep up!" Rubbing what? ”

It is undeniable that Liu Jing did see Lin Bin very thoroughly in some aspects, and whenever Lin Bin entered a state of preparedness, he would unconsciously spend all his energy on combat deployment. In this state, Lin Bin only has enemies and robes in his eyes, and there is no gender distinction, so that at some times he looks more rough and fierce.

Right now. Liu Yicui was drunk, couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly followed silently.

As soon as Lin Bin's military order was given, the soldiers who had been resting for nearly an hour cheered up and prepared for battle. The weight that can be removed from the war horse has long been unloaded. At present, the soldiers are repeatedly checking their equipment.

The multiple scouts sent out earlier returned, and Lin Bin got good news from the scouts.

Lin Bin heard from the scout that the horse thieves did not send people out to guard, but only carried out routine patrols in the camp, and felt very puzzled and disbelieving. According to reason, the war on the grassland will never stop, and the horse thief who licks the blood on the knife should be very vigilant, how can he not send someone out to be on guard?

"Probe!"

Lin Bin's cautious personality allowed him to avoid catastrophes again and again, and he never thought that his nerves were too sensitive. For the sake of safety, he would rather wait longer than act rashly.

Qingshui thought that Lin Bin was making a fuss. Secretly muttered: "A thief is a thief!" No matter how many people there are, they are still a rabble! Nervous? ”

Unfortunately, Lin Bin heard a muttering sound. Angrily reprimanded: "The marching formation is not child's play, if you don't have a cautious heart, I advise you to go home early and plow the fields!" lest you die, and you will be accompanied by many robes."

Qingshui was ashamed and didn't dare to say anything more.

The scouts who were sent out in groups of five, they risked abandoning their horses and entering the most dangerous spy distance, and they groped for nearly twenty miles until they finally found that the horse thieves had secret sentinels. It's very bizarre, the sentinels of the horse thieves are all digging pits and hiding inside, and the scouts rely on their usual high-intensity training to solve a number of peripheral secret sentinels without danger, knowing that they have not learned all their skills, and they can't be as invincible as their own adults, and they are also afraid of being discovered, so they don't dare to pull out the thorns deeply, so they have to return to the guilt.

Lin Bin was unimpressed when he got the reward, and praised the scout for knowing the advance and retreat, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He firmly believed that this was reasonable, and that what people were most afraid of was the unknown, since he knew that the horse thief had set up a secret whistle, that is to say, the horse thief did not lay a trap, and the time for the scheduled attack was getting closer and closer, so he had to give the order: "All the troops are on horseback!" ”

Night attack, Henggu unchanged can best express the meaning of 'surprise', and it is also the most effective combat method on the grassland.

Under the continuous galloping back and forth of the heralds to convey the military orders, the four thousand knights climbed on the back of the horses, and all of them silently drove the horses out of the basin according to the instructions. They again formed a yoke formation in the military order.

The so-called yoke array, which is similar to the long snake, adopts the form of multi-way columns running side-by-side, and the combat effectiveness is longer and the snake formation is stronger, and it is generally used as a galloping formation before the charge.

The black-pressed cavalry slowly moved in silence......

As far as Lin Bin knew, he had also specially experimented, the limit distance for feeling the ground vibration was ten miles, that is to say, he could not feel the trembling of the ground ten miles away, he stood in the middle of the yoke array, staring at the only light between heaven and earth in front of him, and secretly calculated how much time it would take to run forty miles at this speed. He was satisfied with the results of the calculation, and the time of the attack was exactly the dawn of the day, which was also the time when man was most physically tired, which was very conducive to combat.

Lin Bin looked around at the tiger cavalry, these soldiers who were the main force of the charge, after reaching a certain distance, gave the order to open the distance, and also ordered the leopard cavalry and the elite cavalry of the northern army to maneuver to the left and right wings.

Tiger riding is no different from heavy riding, of course, the impact formation should not be too thick, and it is strictly stipulated in training that there must be a distance of more than three horses between the front, rear, left and right riders. This is mainly to prevent the war horses from colliding with each other and trampling. Generally speaking, when the heavy cavalry charges, the formation will be relatively loose and form a wave charging posture. As the number of arrays increases, the density of knights decreases. This was mainly to prevent the rear cavalry from ramming the front cavalry.

After a depressing journey, Lin Bin saw dozens of black dots suddenly popping up in front of him. Knowing that it was the sentry that the horse thief had arranged to guard the perimeter, the sound of the horse thief's alarm horn was also heard in his ears. He looked at the place where the horse thieves were stationed, and sure enough, he saw the thieves who had been lying around the campfire standing up cheering. The thieves seemed to stand in place a little unresponsive, waiting for someone to shout before they nervously prepared for battle.

The best distance between the enemy is fifty miles, so that the army has enough time to prepare for battle, that is to say, in Lin Bin's expectation, the two sides are less than fifteen miles away and are found to be unaffected by the battle situation, because such a distance has no concealment at all.

Lin Bin ordered the whole army to speed up and become a running state.

Ten Miles......

The cavalry began to gather before the horse thief camp. I could vaguely see horse thieves riding out of the camp.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"

"Woo-woo-woo-"

In the desolate world, two completely different desolate horns suddenly sounded in the distance, but they did not sound from the horse thief's station. Instead, it sounded from the northwest and northeast, respectively.

The rhythm of Lin Bin's breathing became very slow, and when he looked in both directions, a black line came into his eyes, and he knew that since the combined attack strategy laid out earlier had achieved its goal. No matter how hard the horse thief tried, he could not avoid defeat.

Lin Bin was calm as usual: "Order the Northern Army to carry out a roundabout maneuver to outflank the rear flank of the horse thieves." ”

Grassroots' faces flushed with excitement. Subconsciously grab the horn and blow it violently!

The sound of heavy horses' hooves stepped on the ground in waves, and the Northern Army rode the order and galloped out at full speed in an instant.

Wuli ......

Lin Bin's ears heard a rapid horn sound in the distance from the horse thief station, and the black horse thief started his own running movement, wanting to take the initiative to fight.

Lin Bin smiled when he saw this, laughing a little crazy, his own running had been completed, and the horse thief was slow to launch the war horse's run. The speed of the two sides is different, and the combat power displayed is also very different. It is not reasonable to start a charge again.

"The whole army - full speed charge!"

The grassroots hurriedly blew again, the horn of the charge sounded rapidly, and the tiger riders left in this formation let out a roar in unison, and the armored war horses galloped, and the ground trembled with fear!

At this time, the east finally showed its fish white, and under the morning curtain, four high-speed arrows moved rapidly, three arrows pierced into the chaotic camp in front of them, and the other arrow, with a small number of people, made a roundabout maneuver, and was about to complete the encirclement.

The momentum of the tiger cavalry charge roared like thunder, and the cavalry array used a four-meter spear as a breakthrough precursor, and crashed into the array of horse thief cavalry without armor, and the sound of miserable howls was immediately endless, and the tiger cavalry with fish scale armor was almost unstoppable, and in an instant, it penetrated the horse thief cavalry who went out of the battle, and went straight to the camp of the thief army.

Lin Bin did not personally charge into battle as before, and his current duty was to command, not fight. He originally thought that the heavy cavalry would not have much advantage in the battle of the light cavalry, but he just waved his army to attack out of the consideration of taking the lead, but he did not expect that the horse thief cavalry was stupid and stunned to hedge head-on with the tiger cavalry, instead of relying on its own mobility ability to carry out guerrilla warfare, and was penetrated by a blow, and the horse thief cavalry who did not die also seemed to be frightened, and actually stood in place in a daze.

"It turns out that whoever you are is always afraid of what you haven't seen."

When Liu Yicui heard the emotion, she looked curiously at the man in front of her, who was called a reckless man, but commanded Ruoding during the battle, and suddenly saw him turn his head to look at him, and hurriedly wanted to turn his head to Gu.

"Do you think it's a little strange? There were so many nervous deployments before, but now it seems to be very simple, just wave your hand and let the army attack? ”

Liu Yicui didn't dare to answer in view of Lin Bin's previous ferocity......

Lin Bin raised his hand to Gongsun Hongbu and Jiahebu, who were also attacking from the left and right, and waited for the elite cavalry of the northern army to attack as well, and was defeated by the horse thieves who surrounded him on all sides......

"War, it's so simple and so complicated. Before the battle, they carefully verified and deployed, and when it came time to fight, they commanded with agility and adaptability, and when it was time to launch an all-out attack to annihilate the enemy. This is what I understand as war! ”

**************************************************************************

The starting point is habitually convulsive, and there is no way to update it just now......

Other than that!! I'm in a hurry to chase after it! Help..... get some monthly passes!

There is also a small question: can the public still be satisfied with the way of describing the war like honor? (To be continued,) (To be continued.) )
