Chapter 55 Liang Qiu to the eldest grandson: There are so many demons in the world
The formation of troops is something that a general must understand, which is one of the criteria for a general's ability to command troops, but he is not as evil as the rumors say.
The formation of soldiers, just like the posture of punching, only plays a role in giving full play to the greatest effect of the soldiers, and the biggest difference between mastering the formation or not is who occupies the dominant position in the battle between the two armies.
This kind of advantage, to a certain extent, can indeed bring the chance of victory, which is the reason why the art of war has valued the military formation since ancient times, but on the other hand, it cannot be completely said that the choice of the military formation determines the victory or defeat of both sides in this battle, and more importantly, it still lies in the quality of the soldiers on both sides.
Just like the Fish Scale Formation against the Crane Wing Formation, the purpose of the Fish Scale Formation focuses on the central breakthrough, and the advantage is that the dense phalanx can easily break away the enemy's formation, but its weakness is also obvious, especially when encountering the Crane Wing Formation, which is both offensive and defensive, it is easy to be attacked by the opponent's two wings.
Therefore, the most critical point in this kind of battle is the speed of breaking the formation, in other words, whoever can break the opponent's own formation in the shortest time can dominate the victory or defeat of the battle.
The army used to break the formation, first of all, is the elite, followed by the cavalry, both are indispensable, the speed of the soldiers is vividly reflected here, after all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, the conversion of advantages and disadvantages is often only in a thought, who can grasp the opportunity, who can win the victory.
Some people may think that the vanguard on the battlefield must be a fierce general, but in fact, the vanguard only plays a role in attracting the attention of the enemy, but serves as a general who is responsible for breaking the formation. It must be a superhuman fierce general, because this is related to the winning rate of the whole battle.
And in the Eastern Army Shenwu Camp. Liang Qiu Wu is a fierce general who is good at breaking formations.
Ah, she is indeed the commander of the Eastern Army, the soul of the Eastern Army, but command and dispatch is not her specialty, this job has always been done by Yan Kai, one of the four generals of the Eastern Army, and the real deterrent power of Liangqiu Dance lies in breaking the formation. After all, she has a terrifying force that is hard to reach in the world.
"Are you here?" Looking at the cavalry charging in a roundabout way on the north side of Liangqiu Dance from a distance, Fei Guo's seemingly calm eyes gradually revealed a little solemnity and a little stunned.
That amount......
Five hundred...... No, three hundred rides?
Why Three Hundred Rides?
No, it should be said, can three hundred cavalry have any effect on the battle of this army of twenty or thirty thousand?
You must know that you have 8,000 cavalry on your side......
Is it bait?
Frowning, Fei Guo passed the general order. Ordered the 1,000 Eastern Army to go to resist.
I have to say that using a thousand cavalry of the Eastern Army to resist the three hundred cavalry of the Eastern Army on the opposite side is completely for the sake of the face of the big man who broke the formation, [Yan Hu Ji] Liang Qiu Wu.
After giving the order, Fei Guo once again turned his attention back to the central battlefield.
Because Ma Dan on the opposite side had skillfully cracked the intention of Fei Guo, Fei Guo's original plan to drag down the opponent's southern army was in vain, and he was helpless. can only be honest and rely on the superiority in strength to gradually crush the victory of the Liangqiu army.
What the? Crowded?
There is no such pedantic idea on the battlefield, and everything is used, which is the true meaning of victory on the battlefield, and furthermore......
If you tie yourself up because of such a trivial matter. I'm afraid that one will immediately remove himself from the position of the commander of this battle......
Fei Guo secretly glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the second master's mother beside him, who had an indifferent face.
I'm sorry, Ma Dan. Actually, I don't want to......
muttered in his heart, Fei Guo also sent his own general who also broke the formation, Di Bu.
But then again, if possible, Fei Guo would rather choose Luo Chao, after all, Luo Chao is an experienced general who serves as the vanguard of the left and right flanks with Xiang Qing in the Eastern Army, that is, a fierce general who specializes in breaking formations.
And as for Nadib......
This guy is at most an infantry on horseback, no, an assassin on horseback, he doesn't know how to grasp the opportunity in the chaotic chaos to attack the weak points of the enemy's defense, and the tactic used by Dibu is to charge, charging towards the place where the enemy has the most soldiers, charging brainlessly.
It is undeniable that Di Bu is very strong and has the strength to be a hundred, but under the constraints of their harsh rules of Lord Xie, Di Bu, the strongest assassin in the Dongling Mountains, can at best play the role of cannon fodder.
What Fei Guo hopes now is that this reckless man can tear a hole in the defense line of the two thousand southern armies in the Liangqiu army as he envisioned, interrupting the opponent's deployment, so that he can carry out the next attack.
Just as Fei Guo was expecting it, a battle report came from the front.
ββ¦β¦ General Dibu [killed in battle]! β
That's too fast, right?
It's less than a stick of incense......
The corners of Fei Guo's eyes twitched when he heard this, although he knew very well that Di Bu would definitely not be able to come back this time, but he didn't expect him to [die in battle] so quickly, but when he saw that the defense line of the Liangqiu army had gradually shown a chaotic situation, he felt a little comforted in his heart.
After all, Di Bu finally played his role and successfully tore a hole in the two thousand southern troops.
Under Fei Guo's watch, the two thousand Eastern Army he ordered Di Bu to bring have successfully divided and surrounded the other party's two thousand Southern Army, and slowly devoured it, although the situation looked good, but Fei Guo was not so satisfied.
You must know that his original plan was to completely drag down the physical strength of the four thousand southern troops on the opposite side, and then send the cavalry of the Eastern Army to surround and devour this heavy infantry, or directly ask the Eastern Army to attack the opponent's own formation in a roundabout way, but unfortunately, his idea was deviated, and the southern army in the Liangqiu Dance Army on the opposite side did not completely lose its physical strength, and even more, the other party seemed to have noticed something, leaving half of the southern army in this formation, and only asked the two thousand southern army to fight alone.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it will not affect the overall situation!
Secretly saying something in his heart, Fei Guo glanced at the battlefield on the north side, it didn't matter, and he was shocked, because he saw that only two miles away from the formation, the cavalry with the banner of the [Liangqiu] number appeared.
How can it be?!
Fei Guo gasped in shock.
What about the 1,000 light cavalry of the Eastern Army that he sent out? Defeated? In less than a stick of incense?
Could it be that the soldiers of the Eastern Army on their own side saw the commander of their own Eastern Army opposite, so their subordinates showed mercy?
Fei Guo watched intently at the battlefield on one side, and he realized it. The 1,000 cavalry of the Eastern Army he sent still retains the vast majority of his troops. In terms of losses, they are just a handful of riders who left the field on their own initiative.
I see, did you just rush over?
After coming to this conclusion, Fei Guo calmed down, after all, the strength of the Great Master Mother Liang Qiu Wu, he still remembered it vividly, and he didn't think that anyone on his side could win her on horseback.
Although it is a little disrespectful, for the sake of insurance, it is better to ask the big housewife to leave the game as soon as possible......
Come to think of it. Fei Guochuan issued an order to order the eastern army to continue to turn around and pursue Liangqiu Wu, and at the same time, he sent 500 horsemen from his own formation, ready to intercept from the front.
However, what made Fei Guo stunned was that just as he ordered the three hundred horsemen to attack Liang Qiu Wu in front and back, Liang Qiu Wu suddenly turned around and charged in the direction of the charge. Instead, they rushed to the central battlefield.
You must know that in the central battlefield at the moment, it is the Changsun Army that has the advantage, but being rushed by Liang Qiu Wu's three hundred cavalry, the formation is suddenly chaotic, and what's worse is that nearly 1,500 cavalry of the Eastern Army who pursued Liang Qiu Wu are in charge. Instead, they were blocked by their own Jizhou soldiers, fortunately, those Eastern Army soldiers were good at horsemanship, and immediately strangled the war horses, otherwise, I am afraid that the Jizhou soldiers would be killed and trampled by the galloping war horses.
Worst. The formation is broken......
Fei Guo frowned, you must know that the position of the two sides of the entire battlefield is probably the Changsun army in the north. The Liangqiu army is in the south, and now the three hundred cavalry of Liangqiu Dance are killing from the northeast to the southwest, which undoubtedly makes the entire formation of the Changsun Army show signs of fault, and in a sense, it relieves the pressure of the two thousand southern troops of the Liangqiu army.
"Order Ding Qiu and tell his Jizhou soldiers to line up in place to block General Liangqiu!" Fei Guo is an excellent commanding general, after perceiving the impact of Liangqiu Wu's 300 people on the entire battlefield, when he asked Ding Qiu on the west side to suspend the offensive against the opposite southern army, he lined up in place, waiting for Liangqiu Wu's 300 cavalry to crash in.
However, after half a pillar of incense, Fei Guo was stunned, he watched Liang Qiuwu lead the three hundred horsemen to kill from east to west, but when he was close to Ding Qiu's curved part, he suddenly turned the direction of the charge and killed back to the east side again.
"This ......" The stunned Fei Guo was a little speechless.
It is undeniable that he can see the situation of the entire battlefield quite clearly, because he is outside the battlefield, but the Great Master Mother Liang Qiu Wu is in the most chaotic situation, shouldn't she be tired of dealing with attacks from all directions? How can we still have the strength to grasp the transient changes on the battlefield so clearly?
"Summoned Gou Gong on the east side, the eldest mistress went to his side and blocked her!" The unbelieving Fei Guo once again issued an order.
Then, shortly thereafter, that strange phenomenon happened again, and Liang Qiu Wu, who was like a god, seemed to have insight into the trap set for her ahead, and once again led her three hundred light horsemen to reverse the momentum of the charge, and kill the weakest point in the Changsun army.
Looking at the 300 Eastern Army that came and went freely in the battlefield, Fei Guo, who was born in the area of Gepo in Yingshui, suddenly remembered the scene when he was young when he caught loaches in the water......
What's going on? This feeling......
The Great Master Mother should have no time to take care of the situation on the battlefield right now, why is the timing so accurate every time? Not only did she circumvent the traps she had set for her, but she frequently attacked her own army where it was inadequate, piercing through her own army like a sharp knife......
Even if he was as calm and steady as Fei Guo, he seemed a little impatient when he noticed such a strange thing, and he gave one command after another in a race against time, ordering one after another Qu troops and horses to pursue and intercept the Liangqiu Dance, but the result was ......
"Ding Qiu? - What are you doing here? β
"Gou Gong? - I was ordered to pursue the Great Master's Mother...... On the contrary, it's you, what are you doing with your soldiers and horses blocking my way? β
"I'm blocking you? It's clearly your fault! β
"What did you say?"
The majesty that blew through the battlefield brought the chaotic noise in the center of the battlefield to Fei Guo's side, watching the two of their own soldiers and horses collide on the battlefield. The formation was chaotic, and Fei Guo felt that he was really a little incomprehensible.
Incredible?
Yes. That's incredible......
Obviously, he ordered Ding Qiu and Gou Gong to lead the Jizhou army of their two Qu Divisions to attack the big lord Liang Qiu Wu, but the wife of the Xie family miraculously led the three hundred cavalry to bypass the two blocked Qubu soldiers and horses, and passed through before the formation of the flanking momentum, which directly caused Ding Qiu and Gou Gong, who were excellent as assassins and unqualified as generals, to collide with each other with the soldiers under their command, not only failed to intercept Liangqiu Dance, but also blocked the way for their eastern army to pursue Liangqiu Dance.
Bluffing, right? This insight......
Fei Guo saw it clearly. The last cavalry of the three hundred cavalry in Liangqiu Dance passed through the next breath of the intercepting soldiers and horses, which was the moment when the two soldiers and horses of Ding Qiu and Gou Gong collided together.
How did the great mistress, who didn't seem very smart, manage to time so precisely?
"Fei Guo ......" came the female voice beside him that made Fei Guo's heart feel cold.
"II...... The second lady ...... "Turning her head to look at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Fei Guo noticed that his words were a little trembling, and he no longer had the confidence of Fang Cai.
However, what makes Fei Guo feel the difference is that the eldest grandson Xiangyu doesn't seem to blame him, on the contrary. The woman's calm eyes looking at the situation on the battlefield vaguely revealed a little joy and expectation.
"Try to lure the enemy, don't care about the loss of the soldiers!" Looking intently in the direction of Liangqiu Dance, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said lightly.
Fei Guo was stunned and nodded subconsciously. "Yes!" As he spoke, he looked back at the herald beside him, "Order the second Jizhou soldiers to retreat, and call the four thousand southern troops in the rear to step forward." Tune in another 500 archers......"
With the issuance of Fei Guo's order, the situation on the central battlefield changed again. The Jizhou soldiers who were blocking the charge of the 300 cavalry of Liangqiu Dance slowly retreated......
At the same time, in the main formation of the Liangqiu Army, Ma Dan climbed high and looked at the battlefield, and when he noticed that Liangqiu Wu relied on the three hundred cavalry of the Eastern Army, he would stir up the entire battlefield situation, and spit out a breathtaking emotion.
"Unbelievable...... Is this the strength of our great mastermother? [Yanhu Ji]......"
To be honest, in fact, Chen Gang was also dumbfounded at this moment, but after hearing Ma Dan's emotion, he showed a look of arrogance and said lightly, "What is this?" Compared with the battlefield in northern Hebei, it is just a big thing! β
"Huh?" Ma Dan looked at Chen Bei in surprise, beside him, Xie An shook his head speechlessly, Ma Dan didn't see Chen Gang's dumbfounded appearance, he Xie An could see it clearly.
Suddenly, Xie An's eyes lit up, because he found that the Jizhou soldiers in front of the Changsun Army's main formation were showing signs of defeat, and seeing this sign, Liang Qiuwu immediately led the three hundred horsemen to chase after him and cover the killing.
Oops, the dance is tricked!
Xie An frowned, he didn't think that the Jizhou Army Corps of nearly 1,000 people in front of Liangqiu Dance would collapse, you must know that if it was on the real battlefield, this might happen, after all, in the face of such a terrible opponent as Liangqiu Wu, not everyone can maintain their fighting spirit, but at the moment this is a drill, whether it is the Eastern Army, the Southern Army, or the Jizhou Army, to put it bluntly, it is a force that belongs to his Xie An's side, and there is no such thing as a soldier who is afraid of Liangqiu Dance, if it is awe, admiration, it is still possible.
In other words, there was absolutely no possibility of a rout in this exercise, especially with the soldiers on both sides, who had almost no pressure.
In this way, the Changsun army on the opposite side showed a rout for no reason, and I am afraid that there is only one explanation for luring the enemy.
"Huh? ββThe formation of the Changsun army on the opposite side has changed, that is...... Southern Army! Chen Gang seemed to notice something, and frowned and said.
Raising his right hand to cover his forehead, Xie An narrowed his eyes, and then felt slightly shocked in his heart, because as Chen Gang said, the Changsun Army finally used the Southern Army, and arranged the four thousand Southern Army like a cloth bag, just waiting for the three hundred horsemen of Liangqiu Dance to chase the more than 1,000 Jizhou soldiers into the bag.
"What a big deal, use 4,000 heavy infantry to catch 300 cavalry......" muttered, Xie An subconsciously looked at the [Changsun] banner hanging in the air in the distance opposite.
"Oops!" Suddenly, Ma Dan shouted and exclaimed, "My lord, General Chen, it's not good, that ...... mixed in the Southern Army"
"Archers?" Chen Gang's eyes widened, and he looked anxious. For by virtue of the elevation of the terrain, he had seen. After being surrounded by the 4,000 southern troops of the Changsun army, there were hundreds of archers who drew arrows and took bows and aimed in the direction of Liangqiu Wu.
"This is really not good...... although it is clear that even if the Changsun Army uses a bow and arrow, it is an arrow with the iron arrow removed, and the sharp arrow is replaced by a cloth dipped in ink, which is not enough to hurt the human body, but this is not good news for the Liangqiu Dance, who has now rushed into the range of his arrows.
Even if the Liangqiu dance martial arts are superb. I'm afraid I can't stop such a dense rain of arrows.
"Quick, quickly give the order to ask the young lady to withdraw the troops!" Chen Gang hurriedly turned his head to Ma Dan and said, although he had been persuaded by Xie An and believed that Liang Qiuwu would not lose control in this battle, how could he want to see his young lady defeated?
"This ...... It's too late......" Ma Dan looked at Chen Gang with a wry smile and said.
Just when Xie An, Ma Dan, and Chen Gang were holding their breath and watching that moment, Liang Qiuwu, who was chasing the more than 1,000 Jizhou soldiers on the battlefield, suddenly raised his head and glanced at the front without any clues, and waved his right hand. Then her three hundred horsemen suddenly reined in the reins of their horses.
At the same time, the archers of the 4,000 southern army rear of the Changsun Army fired arrows together, and the dense arrows like a shower fell on the heads of the more than 1,000 Jizhou soldiers who were a few feet away in front of the 300 horsemen in Liangqiu Wu, making the more than 1,000 Jizhou soldiers hold their heads and scream one by one.
After all, the arrows were stripped of the arrows. It's not enough to kill anyone, but it still hurts to fall on people, just look at the tragic situation of the more than 1,000 Jizhou soldiers.
"Unexpectedly...... Stopped? "Whether it is Fei Guo of the Changsun Army, or Xie An, Ma Dan, and Chen Gang of the Liangqiu Army, they were all stunned after seeing the situation on the central battlefield at this moment. No one expected that Liang Qiu Wu, who had always maintained the momentum of the charge, would have three hundred cavalry. He suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse at that critical moment.
It is worthy of being known as the first cavalry in the world of the Eastern Army [Shenwu Battalion], what superb riding skills!
If it is an ordinary cavalry, it is undoubtedly a suicidal act when it suddenly stops in the middle of the charge, and the cavalry in the rear will crash into Tong Ze in front without any suspense, causing a large number of trampling casualties, but this Eastern Army, almost at the moment when the commander ordered it to stop, all the members stopped the momentum of the charge.
What a terrible masterful horsemanship, what a terrible transcendent tacit understanding, what a terrible mental concentration!
In normal times, I am afraid that those who notice this will be sincerely admired by the quality of the officers and men of the Eastern Army, but this time they can't care about it, because they are even more shocked why Liang Qiuwu suddenly ordered the whole army to stop at that time.
Obviously, as long as she stepped forward a few feet further, she and the three hundred cavalry of the Eastern Army under her command would be washed away by the majestic rain of arrows.
Why? Why did the charge suddenly stop there?
Is it because you have spotted a threat from ahead?
It's impossible, in that chaotic situation, surrounded by the soldiers of the Changsun Army, even if that stupid woman is full of eyes, it's hard to find out, right?
Could it be......
Gut feeling?
Hey, hey, if it's really intuition, this intuition is too rebellious, isn't it?
It's like radar, with complete and unreserved insight into all enemy deployments......
Suddenly, Xie An's shoulders trembled slightly, and his mind couldn't help but flash the words that Sun Xiangyu said to him that day.
[β¦β¦ Husband, you said that when you first met, right? That woman is a monster! - At the beginning, she was far more terrible than her husband imagined, and even the slave family was not completely sure that she would be able to defeat her...... It's not about force! ]
"Is it difficult to ......" Seeing the Liangqiu dance that only led three hundred horsemen across the entire battlefield like a martial god, and watched her sit across the red rabbit horse, riding a majestic horse and standing in front of the trap composed of four thousand southern troops of the Changsun Army, Xie An raised a somewhat strange smile on his face.
No kidding, Xiangyu......
If that stupid woman really did this based on her instincts alone, even if you were good at calculation, you wouldn't have a 10% chance of winning!
I see, no wonder even a strange woman like you, who is wise and close to demons, and can be called a demon in the world, will call her a monster......
Vaguely, Xie An felt as if he had understood something.
At the same time, about twenty zhang in front of the Changsun Army's main formation, Liang Qiuwu looked directly at the Changsun Xiangyu under the banner of the handsome man opposite, pulled out a cloth bag from the bag on the right side of the horse behind him, and threw it on the ground in front of him.
As if noticing Liang Qiuwu's scorching gaze, Eldest Sun Xiangyu chuckled and said, "What is this?" β
Because the soldiers around were shocked by the miraculous performance of Liang Qiu Wu, they were dumbfounded and silent, so that the words of the eldest grandson Xiangyu could clearly reach Liang Qiu Wu's ears.
"Get in!" Liang Qiuwu said lightly, her face seemed calm, but there was a bit of eagerness in her eyes, which made the eldest grandson Xiangyu feel a little uncomfortable and a little uneasy at the same time.
"Huh?"
