106. Defeat the countryside
The commander of the Xiangyong Brigade was a gentry in the southwest of the city, surnamed Xu Renjie. Not long ago, this brother Tai commanded Xiang Yong to break the light path, and when he was triumphant, he didn't expect to make contact with Zhu Ba's army, and he immediately suffered a big loss.
He stomped his foot sharply behind the formation and shouted, "Don't be afraid, rush ...... Rush in and disrupt the spear array for me! ”
It's a pity that his voice was drowned out by the shouts of countless people and could not be conveyed at all.
Relying on human intuition, the Xiangyong team felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's spear formation was very powerful, and he could not face the enemy head-on. They didn't hear the command, so they began to use their own judgment. This is also a feature of warfare before the advent of radio, especially in tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of wars, soldiers on the battlefield often lose the command system, they need to judge themselves, make some tactical adjustments.
The difference between elite soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers is often here, and the self-judgment of miscellaneous soldiers is often wrong, but elite soldiers can help their generals seize the fruits of victory through clever actions.
After the villagers found that Zhu Yuanzhang's spear formation was very strong, the first way they thought of dealing with it was to bypass the frontal ...... Attacking Zhu Yuanzhang's army from the flank, because of the large number of Xiang Yong, Zhu Yuanzhang only has more than 200 people, but Xiang Yong has nearly 500 people, and it is no problem to adopt tactical detours.
If a general with strong deployment ability is here, and he is also an army like an arm, he can use one or two hundred people to contain Zhu Yuanzhang's army in the front, and then send two wings to fly together and attack the left and right sides of Zhu Yuanzhang's army at the same time.
It is a pity that this village warrior army is not an experienced army either, and there is no unified command yet. As soon as they start judging themselves, something goes wrong, and who stays in the head-on containment? Who's going to flank the left and right? Without the unified arrangement of the generals, it is up to them to decide, and the result is chaos.
There were about 200 villagers who wanted to go around to the right flank, and there were 200 villagers who wanted to go around to the left flank, and less than 100 villagers stayed on the front, because the front had to face the spear array, and no one wanted to face such a terrible spear array. So only a handful of dedicated guys remained in this position, and they saw a large number of companions spread out to the left and right, leaving less than a hundred people in the field, so they shouted loudly.
As they shouted, they looked back at the Xiangyong on the left and right wings, and seemed to feel that there were too few people left in the front, so some people returned in a sparse manner.
"The enemy wants to surround us on three sides!" Chongguang Dao exclaimed: "We have few people, once we are surrounded, it will be over, what should we do?" ”
"Surrounding? Don't be stupid, how could this rabble surround me. Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled.
"That'...... What to do? He shouted urgently: "Brother Zhu, tell the brothers to retreat...... If you retreat, you won't be surrounded. ”
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "If this rabble can also repel me, I will have to change my name!" I'm not going to retreat, but I'm ...... Attack! ”
The waist drum in his hand slammed into the blow. Thirty-five henchmen, centered on himself, suddenly clashed out of the military formation, cutting straight to the place where the middle of the Xiang Yong formation and the right wing were connected, where some of the Xiang Yong were hesitating, not knowing whether to go to the right wing or stay in the center.
Zhu Yuanzhang led the most elite thirty-five people to rush over, there were not many people, but all of them were the first outlaws to follow Zhu Yuanzhang, and they were merciless, and the spears started, and the hesitant villagers were suddenly swept away and stabbed to death.
There were nearly 100 villagers left in the middle, and they wanted to come over for reinforcements, but Zhu Yuanzhang's spear array took a step forward, spears stabbed indiscriminately, and under the huge pressure, the villagers in the middle hurriedly raised their weapons to protect themselves, where did they dare to move. The left-wing Xiang Yong was still in a detour, and he didn't have time to copy to the side. The right-wing villagers were suddenly unable to advance or retreat, and did they continue to go around the right side? Or hurry back and join the village warrior in the middle?
A moment of hesitation made them lose the best opportunity to react, Zhu Yuanzhang's military formation suddenly changed in the sound of drums, and a large group of one to five formed a small spear formation of fifty people, delaying the front of the township brave army. The other 100 people suddenly changed into a semi-circular tiger's mouth formation, surrounding the Xiangyong on the right flank in a semi-arc.
Some games play too many friends, do not know much about the ancient military formation, thinking that the military formation is like a game, the enemy army of 50,000 people is placed together, and the 50,000 people have been placed together, just like two small icons in the game, and then the two icons collide, and a group of numbers pops up on the icon, how many casualties here and how many casualties are there, this is war......
In fact, this view is not true!
On the battlefield, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even a few hundred people will be very scattered, and they will form a very peculiar and complex formation, and when the two armies collide with each other, the military formation will be ever-changing, advancing, retreating, turning left and right, dividing, and splitting...... It will never be your 50,000 people rushing, I 50,000 people blocking, and then ping-pong, knives, guns and guns, it's over!
And a powerful general can grasp every change in the military formation in the palm of his hand, and through every meticulous change, even down to the position of a small team of ten people, he can disrupt the opponent's formation and defeat the opponent's military formation, so as to win the war.
Zhu Yuanzhang's central army stood out, and suddenly cut the enemy's military formation, cutting the enemy's right flank, and the direct result was that the Xiangyong on the right flank suddenly panicked, and they suddenly found that there seemed to be no friendly troops around them...... There are Zhu Yuanzhang's people everywhere.
This...... No way! How is this done?
The villagers were at a loss, it should have been their military formation to surround Zhu Yuanzhang, but they didn't expect them to be surrounded now!
I don't have enough knowledge, and the villagers who have not opened up their wisdom are simply incomprehensible!
With a force of 200 men, how did you surround 200 men in the midst of 500 men? This tactical problem, these villagers may not be able to figure it out for the rest of their lives, and they also have to face the huge pressure brought to them by this incomprehensible problem.
The arc-shaped military formation launched an attack at the same time, countless spears stabbed in the middle, and the villagers on the right flank suffered heavy losses at once, this inexplicable change not only hit their bodies, but also hit their morale, they didn't even maintain the time of a pillar of incense, they completely collapsed, screamed, and ran away.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't chase them, and immediately beat the small drum and changed the formation.
At this time, the left wing and the middle of the Xiang Yong were still desperately trying to turn around and reinforce the right wing, Zhu Yuanzhang sent out to contain them fifty people retreated, integrated into the military formation, and turned into a phalanx facing them again, at this time the Xiang Yong found that the right wing had collapsed......
The Xiangyong Army, which originally numbered as many as 500 people, now has less than 300 people left because the right wing has fled, and in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, it has lost its numerical advantage.
"Silk!" Xu Renjie, a gentry standing in the distance, gasped.
"Silk!" Chong Guangdao, who was standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang, also gasped.
Although they didn't quite understand how to do it, they could see the result, and as a result, the other party didn't know how to turn around, and Xiang Yong changed from 500 to 300 people...... In the distance, there are still many villagers who are fleeing, and no matter what the people here call them, they will not come back.
In the era of cold weapons, morale collapsed, and the gods were difficult to save! Even an army of millions would collapse.
Standing behind Zhu Yuanzhang's military formation, the villagers couldn't help but discuss: "Do you understand? ”
"I don't understand!"
"How is this done?"
"How is it that the side with fewer people surrounds the side with more people?"
"I don't understand......"
"Bugling Zhu is amazing......"
"It's a trick......"
"Now it's a standoff again, but ...... It always feels weird! ”
"I can see what's weird, haha...... The Xiangyong team on the opposite side no longer dares to fight! ”
That's right, the Xiangyong team doesn't dare to fight anymore! They just had 500 against Zhu Yuanzhang and more than 200 people, and they were still at a disadvantage, and now they have suddenly reduced their staff by 200 to more than 300 people for some reason, how can they fight? Everyone's hearts began to retreat, and a look of fear began to appear on everyone's faces.
Their arms began to tremble, their calves trembled uncontrollably, and sweat ran down their cheeks and dripped down their chins......
Standing opposite seemed to be not a peasant rebel, but a terrifying monster, it didn't know how to open its mouth, it swallowed 200 people, if it opened its mouth again, could its own life be saved?
And the head of this monster, is that Zhu Ba, in recent years, the fame, like a meteor flashed suddenly appeared as a hero, he has countless legends in the countryside, some people say that he is righteous and squandering money, some people say that he is unparalleled in boxing, some people say that he can pinch and calculate...... It is even said that he is the reincarnation of Song Gongming in time...... There are all sorts of nonsense.
There were no rumors in the first place, but after the villagers tasted his awesomeness, they suddenly recalled it, and they felt that it was extraordinarily terrifying, what a powerful guy they were facing?
Looking at their frightened expressions, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the fighting spirit of the enemy army had collapsed and collapsed, he laughed haughtily, put his hand on the drum, and was about to strike......
But before his hand could be struck, the villagers had already shouted: "Oh my God, Zhu Ba is going to beat the drum again......"
"That drum must have a demon magic ......"
"Run ......"
"Coax!" With a strange scream, the village warriors scattered, turned around and ran, and no one dared to turn back to fight. The gentleman Xu Renjie also mixed in with the crowd, and ran as fast as he could.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already guessed that they were going to run, so he gently put his raised hand on the drum, turned his head and smiled: "Folks, continue to move grain...... Be fast......"
