Chapter 458 Arrangement

Everyone came around, all of them were envious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although everyone is in the local area, the surrounding terrain is in full view, but it is condensed on the sand table, there is a feeling that the mountains and rivers are under control. Moreover, on the sand table, you can more intuitively understand the military situation layout that controls our enemy position.

After all, in the battle of cold weapons, the military formations are often lined up for many miles, and it is not a simple matter to grasp the situation of the various military formations in time. Especially now that many Ming generals can't even figure out the flags and drums. It is necessary to rely on fast horses to transmit, and often changes are found in the negligence of the military situation.

But it's useless for everyone to envy it, this is a small sand table, it seems simple, but it's difficult to draw. The collection of intelligence and the survey of the terrain require a large number of professional personnel, and if the topographic survey is not accurate, the sand table produced is equal to nothing, and it may be harmful.

The current Ming Dynasty, except for the Jingbian Army, who has a large number of talents in this area? Even the Ming Military Department and the Ministry of Engineering don't have it, so they can only look at it greedily.

The arrangement of the battle formations of all parties should be presided over by Wang Dou, and even Wu Sangui had no objections.

Pointing to the sand table, Wang Dou said: "The strategy of our division in this battle is mainly to defend the battle, and use the southeast of the Chinese army's large array to prevent thieves and slaves from attacking Yang Shuai's department in front of our Loess Ridge from the flank, and wait for the opportunity to cut off the connection between the Loess Ridge and the Songshan Ridge!" ”

Wang Dou set the tone, and then said: "The left side of our army is the hills and mountains under the southeast of the Loess Ridge, with many low mountains and undulating ground, which is not conducive to the battle of most of the cavalry army, so Ben Bo's intention is that the infantry army is arranged here, which can be conducive to intercepting and killing the enemy!" ”

The generals of the Jingbian Army, Han Chao, Zhong Xiancai, Li Guangheng, Zhao Xuan, Zhong Tiaoyang, Chi Dacheng, and some praise painters all listened carefully around Wang Dou, only Wen Daxing was not there. He led the night guards and went to various places in Jinzhou to investigate.

There are also supervisors Zhang Ruoqi and Wu Sangui. Fu Yingchong, Guo Yingxian, Wang Zheng, Li Yunshu and others. Listen attentively, too.

After listening to Wang Dou's words, everyone looked at the sand table, and then looked at the several hills where the cavalry of the Jingbian Army was entrenched at this time, and sure enough, the terrain on the left side of the army was conducive to the defense of the infantry army.

Wu Sangui's eyes flashed. said: "Dare to ask Uncle Zhongyong, does the last general's car camp also need to be arranged to the left?" ”

Wang Dou said: "No, General Wu's infantry battalion is still standing still, so that our army is on the left and on the right, and the wider the ground that can be protected." And it echoes left and right. Thieves and slaves attack everywhere. They can all help each other according to the situation! ”

After letting everyone digest their meaning, Wang Dou said: "Of course, if there is defense, there will be attack, and the terrain on the right side of the infantry army is the ground under our feet. From the Jingbian Army on the left, all the way to the Ningyuan Army Vehicle Camp on the right. Most of the terrain is gentle, and most of the cavalry can be gathered. So. There are 3,000 cavalry of our Jingbian Army, as well as General Wu's Ningyuan cavalry. More episodes here! ”

Everyone thought about it carefully, and in this way, the arrangement of their own army formation formed a situation of infantry vehicle battalions at the left and right ends, and cavalry in the middle.

The chariot battalion guards all have confidence, but this cavalry ......

Wang Zheng is the younger brother of Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, who has just reached the age of thirty, and like Wang Pu, he is also gorgeously dressed, with bright armor, a shrewd and friendly expression, and at first glance he is a courtesan character.

His eyes flickered, and then he smiled all over his face, nodded to Wang Dou and said: "Uncle Zhongyong, the last general has something to ask, so arranged, what if the Tartars don't attack my two wings of the infantry battalion, but focus on the cavalry in my middle?" ”

Wang Dou praised: "General Wang asked a good question! ”

He said: "So Ben Bo decided to arrange the twenty-five Shenwei General Cannons of the Shenji Battalion and the seventy Hongyi Cannons of our Jingbian Army behind the cavalry, that is, on the hilly heights not far behind us!" ”

Everyone turned back in unison, and less than a mile behind them, there was indeed a hilly and undulating hill area that ran left and right. …,

The hills are not high, but compared to the flat river land in front of you, it is considered a highland. At this time, the artillery of the Shenji battalion, as well as Zhao Xuan's artillery battalion, the gunners were busy setting up artillery on the hill.

And less than a mile behind the hills, there was a deep trench that ran back and forth. However, it was the trench dug between the Loess Ridge and the Songshan Ridge by the people who came with Bai Guangen and Wu Sangui at that time, and the trench was not dug for long because Bai Guangen was defeated quickly.

Wang Dou said: "If they attack our cavalry, nearly a hundred Hongyi cannons will continue to bombard, and they will definitely break up halfway. Even if it does not break up, it will not form a formation, and my cavalry army is tightly organized, and if it is dispersed by the crowd, it will definitely be a great victory! ”

Everyone was in good spirits, according to what Wang Dou said, it is true that the cavalry is also worry-free, and the infantry defends and the cavalry attacks, and there are a lot of victories.

And with the cover of cavalry, the artillery was more calm and unhurried, and the bombardment was continuous.

Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the former battalion of the Shenji Battalion, first agreed. What he was most afraid of was that Wang Dou arranged his artillery in front of the infantry or cavalry, and now he was hiding behind the army to bombard, but his Shenji battalion was a good trick.

However, Wang Dou said again: "Of course, there are still a large number of rocket vehicles in our army, which are the Shenji arrows of the Shenji Battalion. A part of the rocket carts can be arranged in front of the cavalry, and the rockets are more powerful than artillery against the large group of slaves who come from the crowd! ”

Fu Yingchong's tall and thin figure bent at once, and arranged his rocket car at the forefront of the cavalry? Isn't that the Tartar's elite rider who will attack his own rocket car first? When the enemy cavalry rolls in, how can the archers resist it?

He opened his mouth, revealing two huge tiger teeth, and before he could speak, he heard Wang Dou say again: "Also, the hill ahead, rocket vehicles are arranged in front of the hills, and on the hills, a large number of mortar cannons are arranged, firing explosive shells, and constantly bombarding the slave horses!" ”

In fact, the ground not far ahead, not even hills, is just relatively flat, and the terrain there is slightly undulating.

However, it is also considered to have a wide range and can be arranged with a large number of mortars.

Of course, Wang Dou did not dare to arrange mortar cannons behind the cavalry, and the flowering shells they fired sometimes flew far, sometimes close.

What if you accidentally fly over the cavalry and explode, covering it with smoke and enveloping your own cavalry array underneath? So it could only be arranged in front of the cavalry.

Looking at Fu Yingchong's face, Wang Dou understood his intentions, smiled, and said: "Brother Daya, don't panic, the rear and both sides of the arrow cart are the cavalry of my Jingbian Army." Before the slave riders reach 200 paces, they will attack, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion will be safe! ”

Fu Yingchong was right to think about it, and besides, he wanted military merit. How can you not take a risk? I gritted my teeth and agreed.

Seeing Wang Dou talking eloquently, he inserted the small flags arranged on behalf of his own military array on the sand table one by one. It's really clear to everyone at a glance, and it's far clearer than the strategy arranged by the officials before.

This makes everyone have an overall layout in their hearts, and they are all amazed in their hearts, this sand table of the Jingbian Army. What a baby.

In particular, Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and thought to himself, no matter how difficult it is in the future, he will also have the entire detailed sand table in the army.

At the same time, he was still envious of the previous beheading harvest of the Jingbian Army, and heard that there were many Qing Ba Ya La. They are all the elite of the elite, plus the captured Baya Lajia Lazhangjing, it is really too much gain. This kind of head, of course, Wang Dou will not let it out.

Everyone had no objection to Wang Dou's arrangement at this time, everyone had been fighting for so many years, and the officials in the past arranged the war, and they did not ask the military generals to order it. It's all veiled. A vague feeling.

Only this time the layout is the clearest, no matter how the fight starts, at least for the moment, Wang Dou's arrangement is no problem.

Wu Sangui has no objections, Zhang Ruoqi doesn't know soldiers, and there is nothing to say. As he said before, his only function. It's to cheer on the drums for the army. …,

……

The strategy was decided, and the armies were quickly arranged. The cavalry of the Jingbian Army on the left side of the hill that had previously seized the terrain withdrew and assembled in the Pingchuan area on the right. The sergeants of the Jingbian Army Infantry Battalion and the Shenji Battalion were arrayed at the hilly locations on the left.

The Chinese army was gathered on a hilly high ground not far behind, and the pole carts were also erected high on a high ground. In this hilly and uneven land with a left and right direction, in addition to arranging the Chinese army and artillery, in the low place, there are also cavalry arrays one after another.

And behind the hills of the Chinese army, a large number of people gathered here, and on their periphery, they were wrapped in earthen carts one by one. Inside, a large number of tents of the Jingbian Army were erected, and the soldiers and doctors prepared boiling water and drinking water in the tents, as well as a large number of stretchers, to do a good job in the rescue of wounded soldiers at any time, as well as all kinds of logistical work.

Because Wang Doubu is a concave formation, the bulge in front will be hit by the slave cavalry first, or the key blow, so these protruding small formations, Wang Dou decided to deploy a first-class army that has experienced the battle array.

The two generals of the Jingbian Army's infantry battalion, Zhong Xiancai's right battalion, and the rear battalion of the Han Dynasty were each four thousand generals, and thirty-two generals, two of each battalion of the first-class army and the second-class army. Therefore, in Wang Dou's arrangement, six of the sixteen general first-class armies were divided into six small formations and gathered at the front of the infantry array.

There were 200 soldiers in each formation, two spear and two musketers, and these six small formations were separated by one hundred and fifty paces from each other.

And a hundred steps below the middle of the two small formations, there is another small formation in each.

There are five small formations below, which are also stationed in the first-class army, and the small formations above form a zigzag military formation that is upside down.

These 11 small formations garrisoned by the first class of the Jingbian Army were all surrounded by chariots on all sides, and occasionally sandwiched by the Wolf machine artillery.

One hundred and fifty steps below the eleven first-class army formations was a rectangular second-class army formation.

Sixteen general second-class armies, with twelve general formations, 1,200 pikemen and musketeers, divided into three tiers of 400 men each.

The pikemen below are divided into multiple layers, and of course, they also have the task of protecting the flanks of the musketeers.

In this large formation of the second class, there was also a column of chariots in front of the firecrackers.

On the left flank of these military formations, there are two large formations of sergeant columns of the Shenji Battalion.

Among them, there is a military formation in the upper left of the Jingbian Army, and about 100 paces away from the lower left end, forming a large rectangular formation. A part of the formation, with the two small formations of the Jingbian Army in front and on the right, formed a zigzag shape.

Of course, the Shenji Battalion is extremely long, and most of the Franc planes in their army are deployed here, which is the left flank of the entire Jingbian Army. There are a few rolling hills in the area where they are formed, and the defensive terrain is superior.

At the bottom of the rectangular array of the Shenji Battalion, because there is a raised hilly slope diagonally up along the left side, a Shenji Battalion military formation is also arranged here, in addition to the chariot artillery, there are also some rocket vehicles.

They formed two military formations, forming a large J-shape.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were all in high spirits and geared up, but of course Wang Dou would not rest assured that they would defend alone.

The remaining five general first-class armies of the Jingbian Army and the four general second-class armies, in addition to some reserves, also had some people arranged in their large formations to fight together.

Although the left side of the large array was not conducive to the movement of large groups of cavalry, in order to prevent the Qing cavalry from bypassing the hills on the left, or rushing straight down from the more steep southeast slope of the Loess Ridge, attacking the large Chinese army in the rear. Wang Dou also arranged most of Wang Zheng, Li Yunshu, and Guo Yingxian's cavalry here.

Wang Dou estimated that there would not be many Qing cavalry coming around from this side, this kind of terrain, the horsepower could not be released, and if the Ming infantry and cavalry were outflanked before and after, plus Yang Guozhu might send cavalry to attack, it would be another outflanking siege battle.
