Chapter 115

The second and third armies became completely possible to make a detour, and the Liao army, which was attracted to the center by the first army, even if it perceived the strategic intention of the new army, and then wanted to return to the two sides, it would inevitably cause chaos on the battlefield that was stalemate with the first army.

Baili Wuji didn't care about the loss of the new army in his heart, and the battle was fought to this point, whether it was Baili Wuji or the Ming court, they were ready to accept Yiqiē, and solving the threat in the north was the most urgent and important.

The purpose of forming a new army is to build a strong army, and a strong army capable of fighting wars does not mean an army that can only be ruthless on the training ground, but to become a strong army, the only way to become a strong army is to constantly sharpen it, whether it is to attack the few with more or to attack the strong with the weak, this is the only road that the new army needs to go through. In the first battle on the Western Front, the new army won with a strong lineup and an overwhelming advantage, and now it needs to face a strong enemy and attack more with less.

And Baili Wuji knows that the purpose of Bailiyi to leave the Fourth Army is not only to maintain a fresh army, so as to surprise when the Liao army causes chaos, and the most important thing is that Bailiyi is always worried about Jeruzala's iron cavalry, so long without seeing, Bailiyi has not been able to grasp Jeruzala's thoughts, in case they really meet on the battlefield, 30,000 iron cavalry will eventually become the nemesis of the new army, muskets can basically be ignored, only grenades can kill and injure the iron cavalry, in this case, the new army can only retreat and fight with the iron cavalry, but on the stalemate battlefield, it is not easy to fight.

"I want results." Baili Wuji said flatly, "No matter if you win or lose." I just want to see you all working together to strengthen our country. ”

"The ministers obey."

The battle went more easily and smoothly than expected, and Ding Sijin was determined to make amends. "Death squads" were organized before the war, and these death squads were somewhat unusual. The biggest difference is that it is the war horse that dares to die, not the soldiers of the New Army.

Ding Sijin ordered 3,000 cavalrymen to carry a large amount of gunpowder and line up in a horizontal row as the vanguard. The 22,000 new troops were ordered to form a triangular formation, and the whole army was ready to go.

After the order was issued, the horizontal formation of the 3,000 new army surged towards the Liao army array like a wave, and the triangular formation followed and slowly accelerated.

Seeing the Ming army attacking. The Liao army had already finished arranging and was heading forward, and when the two armies were ten zhang apart, the 3,000 new troops quickly ignited the gunpowder. Then they all dismounted and let the horses rush towards the enemy line with smoking explosives. The 3,000 soldiers who had dismounted their horses quickly galloped towards the road they had come from, and at this time, the triangular formation that followed them served as a barrier to cover the 3,000 soldiers passing through their ranks. At the same time, it withstood the Liao army that was in hot pursuit from after the explosion. The 3,000 soldiers returned to the rear and mounted their horses as a reserve to suppress the whole army.

The most thrilling thing about this strategy is that the triangular array and the cooperation of three thousand soldiers, the three thousand soldiers abandon their horses and flee when they are ten zhang away from the enemy. The second is that the charge speed is too fast, and it is possible to be accidentally injured by the explosion. So. The triangular formation must be just right to quickly turn into a charge state after covering the retreat of 3,000 soldiers, so as to charge the Liao army from the follow-up.

For this reason, Ding Sijin specially organized strict training the day before, and now it is time to harvest.

Three thousand war horses quickly rushed to the enemy formation according to their inertia. The face-to-face Liao army saw the Ming soldiers suddenly turn over and dismount and flee, and in a moment of surprise, they saw the smoking war horse, and knew that there was a fraud in the matter, but at this time, there was no time to react, because at this time, whether it was turning or fleeing, there were only two of them, who were killed or trampled to death.

The helpless Liao cavalry could only speed up the rush forward, and the oncoming Ming army war horses exploded one by one at this time, and some even exploded deep into the Liao army array, each horse carrying dozens of catties of gunpowder, and the resulting explosion wave affected the entire forward of the Liao army.

For a short time, sand and rocks flew in front of the two armies, and the sound of explosions was incessant.

The Liao army array that was suddenly changed was in chaos, and at this time, the triangular array led by Ding Sijin began to accelerate and penetrated directly into the depth of the Liao army. The Liao army was caught off guard, and the array was in chaos, so it could only gather all the soldiers and horses in the middle to block the charge of Ding Sijing's triangular formation.

As a result, the Liao army on both sides squeezed together in the middle, and Ding Siji's department began to suffer from the encirclement of the Liao army.

The First Army's charge became slower and slower, and when the Liao Army was three miles deep, the First Army finally stopped and entered the stage of close combat with the Liao Army. Directly ahead, the 20,000 leather room army stubbornly withstood the sharp edge of the personal guard led by Ding Sijing.

The triangle was slowly elongated by the front top, squeezed left and right, and gradually, the triangle became an arrow shape.

And it was at this time that the second and third armies were outflanked by Baili Yi to the left and right, and the abnormal movements of tens of thousands of troops could not hide the sight of the Liao army, but the Liao army was thus in a dilemma, if the troops were divided to block the Ming army outflanked left and right, then it was bound to be broken through by the Ming army in the middle, and the resulting consequence was that the Liao army was divided left and right, and the empty Dading Mansion would be under the front of the Ming army in the middle; But if you don't block the outflanking of the Ming army on the left and right, once the Ming army on the left and right forms an encirclement and echoes with the Ming army in the middle, the entire Liao army will only be able to retreat to the city of Dadingfu, otherwise, the annihilation of the whole army is imminent.

Under the trade-off between the left and right, the Liao army chose the hard top middle road, gave up the left and right wings, and the hard top middle road, and contracted the two wings at the same time, and retreated to Dading Mansion.

As soon as the battle began, in less than half an hour, the Liao army had already lost the initiative on the battlefield and showed fatigue.

The Ding Sijin Department of the First Army, which was hit by the Liao army on three sides, was also in a difficult struggle, and when it rushed into the depth of the Liao army, the grenade that should have been used had already been thrown, and the only one around him was the one who died with the enemy in the end, and the only thing that could be used at the moment was the knife in his hand.

If the two formations are opposed, the soldiers of the new army are not inferior to the leather room army in individual combat, and the combat knife that has been refined and improved by the Ming Armory Workshop for many years is far sharper and tougher than the scimitar of the Liao army. But now the soldiers of the whole army are surrounded and squeezed by the Liao army on three sides, there is no room for fighting, on the battlefield, people are crowded and dense, and the fight can only be if you stab me, and I return you with a sword, there is no technology at all, and the fight is blood and perseverance.

Baili Wuji stood on a wooden platform more than a foot high that was specially set up by the guards, looking at the battlefield.

At the beginning of the war, seeing that Ding Sijin could come up with such a plan, Baili Wuji was appreciative in his heart. As a famous general, Ding Sijin has shown his unique side. (To be continued......)
