Volume 6 "Warriors" Chapter 171: Defeat Before Fighting (I)
With a strong smell of blood, it whistled, hoisted the battle flag, and made a hunting sound. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ The battle flag moved forward, and every battle flag held by the mighty knight was surrounded by five thousand warriors who lived to kill the enemy, and these warriors brandished their blades, shouted bloody battle horns in their mouths, and every time they swung their weapons, there was always a 'hiss' sound of entering the flesh, and the screams were accompanied, and the once hot blood was thrown into the sky.
The roar of the war horse, it is the sound of hooves, the tiger cavalry in the Qin cavalry into the coalition formation, seize the opportunity to penetrate the enemy formation, the soldiers of the tiger cavalry become the edge of the army in front of the way, the coalition cavalry did not dare to block its edge, the tiger cavalry and the Qin cavalry rushed all the way, leaving behind the bones and mud made of flesh and blood and weeds and mud.
Lin Bin stayed in the rear and watched quietly, he no longer envied those soldiers who could fight on the field, everyone had his own duties to perform, the duty of a soldier was to go into battle and kill the enemy with the weapons in his hand, and the duty of the chief general was to observe the overall situation calmly and rationally and grasp the initiative on the battlefield. He showed a faint smile when he saw the tiger cavalry as a blade to open the way, leading the Qin cavalry to penetrate the enemy formation, and directly crushing the plan of the Xiongnu and Qiang forces to prepare to retreat.
The strength of the two armies is almost the same, and the best plan is to force one side to take the initiative to lead the army to withdraw from the battlefield, take the opportunity to kill and wound enough living force to lay the foundation for the next pursuit battle, and use all the means available to drive away in the pursuit, and consume the enemy mentally and physically, so that the enemy is afraid of losing morale, and reduce the casualties of the side as much as possible. This is the war in Lin Bin's understanding.
For a long time, many people thought that Lin Bin was a general who was familiar with military books. Not exactly. Lin Bin himself didn't read many military books, he relied on knowledge that was superior to what people in this era did not understand, coupled with a suspenseful military intuition (talent?). οΌγ Use your own eyes and brain to judge and make what you think is the most correct arrangement. Most of the talk in the early stage of the war is just to understand the overall situation, and the deployment and overall planning are all dead, and what really depends is on the command of the battle, and the so-called decisive victory thousands of miles away may exist, but it is more just boasting.
The retreat of the Xiongnu and Qiang was cut off by the Tiger Cavalry and the Qin Cavalry, and the cavalry did not turn around if they wanted to. Instead, it needs a roundabout space, and there is no roundabout space in the chaotic battlefield, so Crazy West and Huyan have to stop where they are and wait for the opportunity.
And out of Lin Bin's consideration of the overall situation of the entire war, he did not attack the headquarters of the Xiongnu and Qiang people. The wolf cavalry and the cavalry of the Lu Yan tribe who joined later only attacked those small tribesmen who remained in front. Increasing pressure forced the cavalry of the small tribes to shrink down. In cavalry warfare, the cavalry huddled into a heap of inmobile cavalry was inferior to the infantry, and the corpses in patches fully illustrated this immutable fact
The grassroots sounded the trumpet ordering the Tiger Rider and the Qin Rider to get out of the way.
See the enemy troops blocking the retreat retreat. Crazy West showed a surprised expression. When he was about to order his army to advance, he was called to stop.
"Don't be fooled! There must be a conspiracy on their own initiative! β
Hu Yan has been calmly observing the situation, but because of the limited field of vision in the center of the battle formation, he couldn't find anything, what he saw was that the army under Lin Bin launched an attack from the front, left and right, at that time there was no enemy army on the back road, and now there was an elite cavalry rushing past from the main formation cruising in the back road, and if you withdraw at this time, you will inevitably be cut off from it.
"Grandma's! So what do you say? β
Hu Yan looked at the somewhat panicked madness, and then looked at the subordinates around him with worried expressions, he felt extremely bitter in his heart.
"Calm down! Calm down! β
"Grandma's. How calm do you say, don't you see that those small tribes are about to collapse! β
After the cavalry of Lu Yanbu joined the battlefield. The number of cavalry attacking the coalition army head-on exceeded 20,000, and the wolf cavalry defeated 5,000 Qiang cavalry to attack from the flank and was penetrated from the formation, and the battlefield where the frontal flanks were fighting had already been thrown into chaos.
The Huns' army in the front line retreated from the right flank, and the cavalry of the small tribes was pushed to the tip of the sword, and the cavalry of these small tribes themselves did not have much combat effectiveness, and after losing the confidence of victory, they only subconsciously resisted in order to protect themselves. Under the premise of repeated shocks, the small tribal coalition army with a large number of attrition lost morale, and their cavalry thought of avoiding the killing arena to find a safe place, pushing each other and retreating.
"From the very beginning, we were fooled, Lin Bin's strategy was to hit our confidence in winning, so the lone cavalry appeared first to kill the cavalry and frustrate our morale, and the reinforcements behind were not coming together, but one after another drove up to give the warriors the impression that countless soldiers came. I bet that Lu Yan led the army to obey orders was definitely Lin Bin's conspiracy, and the intention was to make us believe that everything was under their control. β
Hu Yan wanted to describe what he thought in his heart, but he didn't know the word 'psychological warfare', so he could only use simple words to express it as much as he could.
"I don't care what bullshit is going to do, I'm asking you what to do now!"
Hu Yanyi gritted his teeth: "Did you see it?" There were only more than 3,000 knights around Lin Bin. β
Crazy West subconsciously turned his head to look, a battle flag embroidered with the big 'Han' character was very eye-catching, and the battle flag with gold rim and red background fluttered in the wind, where more than 3,000 cavalry were neatly arranged. He recognized the armor of those cavalrymen, and only the leopard cavalry under Lin Bin's command would wear the kind of copper chain mail that was light and could protect vital points, as if it was specially made to equip the rangers.
"You don't want to die, Lao Tzu is also out of the way!"
Hu Yan was directly speechless, he understood that after several battles, and under the prestige of Lin Bin sweeping the grassland, Crazy West and the others were completely afraid of Lin Bin, and they always thought about how they would lose and how to escape before the war started, instead of using their brains to think about how to win. He shook his head in his heart and began to order the army under his command to prepare.
To be correct, many people on the grassland are only suitable for being leaders and do not have the ability to lead troops, and they still patronize and chirp crookedly on the battlefield and do not observe the situation of the battlefield, so how can they not be defeated?
Wild West Madness looks wild and rough, in fact, his mind is tight, he admits that he is a little afraid that Lin Bin has lost his square inch, but he does not take this as an insult, even the Aries King of the Aries Department will tremble when he hears Lin Bin's name, and the Xianbei people who dominate Donghu with high spirits have been easily defeated, and the opportunity to practice fighting back has not been beheaded, what is he ashamed of?
Moreover, in this era, few people understand what psychological warfare is, and while scolding cunning, they are actually extremely envious in their hearts, which cannot be described in words.
The grandfather of the mad west was originally a small king, suffered heavy losses from the Blizzard tribe and livestock and had to take refuge in the right Xian Wang, at the beginning of the right Xian Wang under the account of a thousand chiefs, because of the small brave name, and for the right Xian Wang to conquer a lot of wealth and slaves, just five years to be promoted to ten thousand chiefs. King Youxian promised that if the Crazy West could capture Huze occupied by the LΓΌ Yan Tribe, and capture enough pre-Qin craftsmen, wealth, and slaves, and when he returned from the Western Regions, he would agree to let the Crazy West Reopen the tribe, and give him the title of the little king with the sacred status of the Right Xian King, and restore the glory of his grandfather, he would rely on his reputation to invite the Quartet and use the Qiang tribe to attack the LΓΌ Yan Tribe, otherwise who would be fed up and desperate for a reason of 'leading troops and retreating'?
Lin Bin ordered the Tiger Rider and the Qin Cavalry to get out of the way, and he began to turn his attention to the frontal battlefield. Under the wave impact of the wolf cavalry and Lu Yan's cavalry, the coalition forces were constantly compressed into the front, and occasionally small groups of cavalry could be seen turning their horses and fleeing from the battlefield, which resulted in the morale of the coalition forces of the small tribes becoming more and more depressed.
"My lord, in the current situation, do you want the thorny dragon spearmen behind the stone wall to fight?"
Lin Bin looked at Lu Yan, nodded slightly, and then ignored Lu Yan and asked Meng Zhao: "Is there any possibility that the army of the small tribe will surrender?" β
Seeing that Lin Bin didn't pay much attention to himself, Lu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he couldn't figure out how to position himself in the future. The only thing he knows is that since Lin Bin has recruited Meng Zhao, he will definitely keep himself, as a high-ranking person, who doesn't understand the most basic checks and balances? It's just that he will definitely be a head shorter than Meng Zhao in the future.
Meng Zhao smiled and nodded, "If the adult has the intention of surrendering, a certain general is willing to go to surrender." β
"Wait a little longer......"
Meng Zhao was stunned when he said this, and he followed Lin Bin's line of sight, and the cavalry of the Xiongnu and Qiang tribes not only did not retreat, but turned around and attacked the battlefield without distinguishing between the enemy and me, and put on a strange posture.
"You go up now, shout 'surrender and don't kill', 'kill one of the Xiongnu and Qiang, get the head, and return to freedom; Killing two people allowed them to join the clan, and killing five people as servants; Kill ten people and reward the military lord. β
Meng Zhao laughed and slapped away.
Lin Bin glanced at Lu Yan, who was about to speak, "Order the shield soldiers, dragon spearmen, and crossbowmen to set up a formation in front of the formation." β
Lu Yan's spirits perked up, and he felt that since Lin Bin was willing to use it, there was no shortage of opportunities to get ahead, and for the sake of his future status in the clan, he had to behave well in whatever he said. He shouted "Yes!" Then he also walked away.
Lin Bin looked at the Hun and Qiang cavalry who were still rushing forward, and then looked at the pre-Qin infantry army running in formation, and muttered to himself: "The Qin army infantry formation? What step can Lu Yan do? I'm really looking forward to ......."
