Chapter Seventy-Nine: Bait

Chapter 79 bait

In the second major confrontation, the whole army was lined up at the place where the second contest was held.

The confrontation of armies is not a scuffle of battles and real swords and guns cutting each other, but the lethality and the ability to carry out orders. In the center of the military field, there are various targets, as incompatible targets, who rely on the cooperation of multiple branches of the military, can knock down all these targets, and the position is accurate, the speed is the fastest.

The first to join the confrontation was the former military camp, the army of the golden cicada. Jin Chan ordered the army to be unfurled, with the infantry shield array in front, the archers in the center, and the cavalry in the rear. Bows and arrows and cavalry are undoubtedly the most direct and effective impact on the enemy, Jin Cicada ordered the archers to release the arrows first, and after the rain of arrows in two rows, the target in front of them was either pierced or fell. Immediately after, the cavalry rushed into battle, and the cavalry first passed a rain of arrows, and then raised their broadswords and rushed into the enemy formation.

Among the targets on the opposite side, there are not only grass targets, but also wooden targets, and some targets also have knives, guns, and wooden thorns. Many cavalrymen were taken lightly because they saw that the enemy was a wooden man or a scarecrow, and they were scraped off or even scratched. This time, the cavalry in the enemy formation quickly went to the rules and became miscellaneous, and they only knew how to cut one by one.

Jin Chan, who was in command in the back, was obviously in a hurry, so he could only order the whole army to rush into battle. The infantry phalanx moved forward quickly, and when it saw that there were still five steps away from the enemy, the shield horse picked up the steel knife and increased the speed, and the snake spear soldiers behind him, the flat end snake spear followed the shield soldiers into the enemy formation and began to assassinate.

Finally, there are the archers, when the infantry charges, they also connect the queue, hold down the position, and when the infantry rushes into the enemy formation, they carry the longbow at their waists, draw their swords, and charge forward.

When all the targets of the enemy formation fell, Jin Chan ordered the whole team to collect the troops, perhaps the scarecrow and wooden man in the ground were too much of an obstacle, and when the army withdrew from the whole team, it looked a little overling.

When all the horses withdrew, Yue Su ordered the hourglass to be suspended to test the target of the arrow, and several of Jin Cicada's men were injured. After all the inspections were completed, the numbers were reported, and then the drill was carried out in front of the army's ironclad army.

Yue Su had sent people to set up four formations as early as three days ago, and this formation was certainly agreed upon by him, Jiang Jie, and several generals in the army. Before the confrontation, the formation must not be leaked, and the horses are specially dispatched, and no one is allowed to approach.

These four formations are completely incompatible, there are difficulties and difficulties, how to separate, anyone with a discerning eye can come out. However, the first one, if you don't know it, will definitely suffer a loss, so what Yue Su placed for the golden cicada is the easiest. Rao is like this, and after a while, he was injured several times.

The second field is the Iron Blade. Tie Qi led his troops to open the formation, he is not a fool, Jin Chan has just suffered a loss, in his eyes, the enemy's subordinates are thousands of Ding Ning Wan's orders. But even so, when his army rushed into the formation, he still suffered a loss, and was scratched several times by hidden wooden sticks and weapons. It also depends on the experience of Jin Cicada's previous experience, otherwise more people will be injured and it will take longer.

If a living person fights a wooden man, if he is still injured, it will definitely not be considered a complete victory. Fortunately, the time is similar to that of the Golden Cicada Department, and after the recording is completed, there is a third child in the Tong Department.

The third should be the most cheap, the difficulty is lower than the fourth, and the experience of the previous two is almost summarized, if it is not possible, you can only blame yourself for the limited ability.

Facts have proved that when the life experience of the fast and the life experience of the soldiers are really two different things, the army of Tong Xuan, like the previous two, is also the same tactics, but with the experience of the past, there are rules and laws, under the caution, there are no casualties, but the time is longer than the golden cicada and the iron sword.

After Yue Su ordered people to record, he let the army of Wujia Province come forward.

While deploying his horses, Wujia Province carefully observed the enemy formation in front of him, and the position he faced was not in line with the previous three, which was obviously much more difficult. The wooden people are the most, and the enemy troops in the front row are also in a pair of card formations, stabbing out snake spears to defend the guard.

This was not to be played according to common sense, and it was necessary to improvise, so Wu Jia ordered the archers to cast them on the rear flank of the enemy formation, while at the same time, the cavalry spread out on both sides and attacked the flank of the enemy formation. His tactics received good results, after the cavalry entered the enemy formation from the flank, they opened the front card formation from behind, and Wu Jia Province saw the opportunity to let the infantry formation.

The tactics seem simple, but they are direct and effective, and after the horses enter the enemy formation, they are still in order, but they are not mixed. The most commendable thing is that after the first battle, there was no injury from the Wujia Provincial Department, and it was still the fastest.

The first three families were damaged, and none of them were injured on the Wujia side of the province, and they made a decision immediately. This not only reflects the soldier's heart and prudence, but more importantly, it can show the quality of the cavalry. You must know that this kind of offensive formation requires speed, and if you are too careful, you will definitely delay time, and the army of Wujia Province has not wasted a little time, and you can imagine what the problem is.

Jiang Jie originally wanted Wujia Province to win by a slight advantage, but this competition of Yue Su is really impossible to hide, this is not a head-to-head competition, and within the enemy formation, there are hidden traps, once you miss, you are afraid that the city will implicate the overall situation. Uga Province can only win cleanly. His victory made Jin Chan, Tie Qiu, and Tong Xuan not say a word, and Yue Su praised him a lot.

Heavy rewards are indispensable, and measures must also be taken, according to the pre-planned double rewards, double the punishment. The previous reward and punishment required three watches a day to complete, but this double punishment took two full days and two nights to complete.

On the third day, Yue Su gathered the participants together, a total of 4,000. Yue Su selected three thousand elites from them and made a battalion, which was personally commanded by himself. The rest of the horses were redivided again.

This time, it was divided into five battalions, regardless of the front, middle and rear battalions. A battalion was set up at the foot of the Flying Fox Pass Mountain, with 4,000 horses, responsible for the management of grain and grass, and Tong Zhou was in charge. The commanding heights of the battalion, with 4,000 soldiers, continued to strengthen training, and the deputy general of the army was in charge, but Yue Su left Li Zhong and Zhou Meng here to assist. Originally, the former camp was set up with 5,000 horses, which was under the control of Wujia Province. In front of the front camp, there is another battalion, with 4,000 horses, and the commander of the gold cicada. Yue Su personally brought Tie Qiu, Jiang Jie and others to lead the three thousand elites at the forefront.

Yue Su's purpose of placing it like this is very simple, he wants to adopt Jiang Jie's strategy, use him as bait, and lure the rebels from the mountain out. Yue Su didn't know the approximate number of rebels, but he knew that it would never be as spread by the outside world, there were tens of thousands of people, and there were really so many rebels in the mountains, so he would have gone to fight Beijing a long time ago, so how could he stay here. But the camp left behind by the rebels was not as small as the 1,000 men at the time of the robbery. He and Jiang Jie made an explanation, estimating that the number of rebels should be under 5,000, as little as 3,000, and as much as 7,000.

After all, the rebels are a rabble, and the three thousand horses under Yue Su have not fought any tough battles after two months of training, but at the moment, they are already considered the elite of the elite. Fighting alone may not be able to defeat the rebels, but if you arrange troops to fight in a group, the number of rebels should not be a problem.

But even if you take your body as bait, you can't take too much risk, Lord Yue is an important minister of the court after all, so he leads three thousand people to go deep alone, once he is really wrapped in dumplings, what can he do. In these days, there is no communication equipment such as Hotline, and it is very difficult to communicate with each other. After thinking about it, it was finally decided that only four miles a day would be marched, and then camped on the spot, and after five days, Jin Chan led the troops, and followed up on the original road.

Everything was placed, Yue Su sent troops the next day, and the mountain road of four miles a day was also leisurely, but all the horses were left at the foot of the mountain and were not led. Because the road was so difficult to walk, even the rebels left behind their horses and mule carts when they retreated, so you can imagine what kind of road they were.

Of the three thousand elites led by Yue Su, one-third of them could shoot bows and arrows, and the rest of the soldiers were all available, including shields and other things. After the road, he walked for two days, because he was walking the right road, Yue Su found that this road was not particularly difficult to walk, even if he brought horses, he could still march.

But because of this, Yue Su wondered, why would the rebels leave all their horses and vehicles behind when they fled?

Jiang Jie quickly gave the answer to this question, "My lord, the reason why you don't bring horses and vehicles should be very simple, with these livestock, you must leave dung along the way, and our army can track them along the way, and we can find their whereabouts." And there is also an important point, that is, the place where the rebels are hiding must not be far away, but there are places where the road is difficult. ”

After getting Jiang Jie's answer, Yue Su looked around again, but it was not as Jiang Jie said, there were mountains and mountains on all sides, and some places were just sheep intestine roads, and even had to climb, and it was difficult for people to walk, let alone livestock.

The rebels should be hiding in the kind of places where the road is difficult, but Yue Su really didn't dare to look for it, he really met the rebels on the rugged slope of the road, and he was beaten down with rolling logs and stones, no matter how elite the soldiers were, it was not in vain. He is leading the snake out of the hole, but he is not looking for death.

So, the army continued to advance, and the road he walked was some relatively open places, which were not easy to set up ambushes, and he camped at night, but also a place to find peace, and he walked for seven days in a row, and found no trace of the rebels.

Coming to this position, Yue Su thought that he had to go further, the traitors would definitely not escape so far, and going any further would be purely useless. He ordered the army to search within a radius of one mile, and Jin Chan's rear army, for the time being, continued to follow up and stationed on the spot.

Doing so is a bit abusive, but it's also a last resort. He is the governor of the five provinces, and he must not joke with his life.

When Yue Su raised his troops, it was already autumn, and he rushed to Lu'an, Shanxi Province to fight a battle, and then turned back to Feihukou, and trained here for two months, and at this moment it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. Staying in Taihang Mountain this season, isn't it looking for freezing, this night, he found Jiang Jie piecemeal, and discussed what to do next. In the end, it is not a matter of spending in the mountains in winter, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have to go through training, but there is no such training method.

Jiang Jie is Jiang Jie after all, as soon as he entered the big tent, he didn't wait for Yue Su to speak, he came up with a seamless plan.
