Volume VIII Dry Axe Yue Yao Tian Sun 95 Blue Jade
The two armies face each other and fight decisive battles on the battlefield, and the situation is often negligent and ever-changing.
No matter how good the temple was before the war, as soon as the battle opened, there would always be some unexpected circumstances, and the whole course of the war would often have a "change that could not have been foreseen before the war" because of these "unexpected circumstances".
Why?
Because no matter whether it is the enemy or one's own side, everyone on both sides is human beings, and human thinking cannot be fixed. You can "predict" what the other person will do, but you can never be "sure" what the other person will do. The battlefield is like life, and the most interesting part is here, "you can never determine what another person, never what the opponent will do".
As the saying goes, "There is nothing that cannot be done, only what cannot be imagined." ”
Therefore, there is another saying: "The winning side is often not superior in wisdom or bravery, but only because it makes the least mistakes." ”
For now:
Wang Baobao and Sain Chi Da Su's "temple calculations" before the war are endless, and they sent a group of men and horses to be placed behind the Wu army, and when the battle started, they waited for an opportunity to disrupt the Wu formation, so as to break each one, first destroy Chang Yuchun, and then destroy Zhao Guo. In my heart, this is a good ploy; And Wang Baobao's judgment is indeed very correct, the Wu army is relatively weak, the Yan army is relatively strong, if you want to win, you will naturally attack the weak first, and then break the strong.
If this strategy can be successfully implemented, I dare not say that "victory must be achieved", but at least it will not fail. In other words, it is invincible. Therefore, this plan is endless.
It's just a pity that Wang Baobao, Sainchi answered suddenly, including Cai Ziying and Zhao Heng, and none of them guessed that Chang Yuchun would react like this! In the chaotic situation in the rear, he actually did not defend the counterattack! At this time, this move is really not inferior to Han Xin's "last battle" back then. Regardless of the back road, move forward bravely, advance to live, retreat to die, that is, the so-called "put the place of death and then live, fall into the place of death and survive".
The Yuan army was frightened, and the right flank and the front hurriedly gathered up to form a defensive position. Yan Jun was stunned, and from the generals down, they were all dumbfounded. On the watchtower in the Yan and Yuan arrays, Pan Xianer and Wang Baobao shouted the name of "Chang Yuchun" in unison. Sainchi replied, Hu Linchi and others all lost their voices and said: "Huaisi has such a brave general!" Zhao Guo, Tong Shengyang and others thought in unison: "No wonder the lord praises Jinling so much!" ”
There are tens of thousands of people in the two armies, and there is only one person, but what he thinks and says is different from everyone else.
Seeing that the Wu army was not moving forward, he often encountered the spring spear prancing on the horse, majestic and majestic, and rushed to the enemy formation with a few outnumbered people, and couldn't help but be fascinated and blurted out: "The real general should be like this!" The blood rushed, turned over the horse, lifted the horse lance, hit the chest and abdomen of the general on his side with the handle, and shouted: "Go to the Chinese army!" Quickly ask Zuo Cheng to give the order to attack, and I Gao Yonsi is willing to be the striker! There was one sentence he didn't say, "Among the tens of thousands, sacrifice their lives or die, and strike the first blow at a strong enemy." Such a limelight, how can it be given to Huaisi children! ”
He was beaten in the chest and abdomen by raising the bow.
Gao Yanshi was excited, the shot was inevitably not light or heavy, and the strength used was very great, and Yang You was caught off guard, almost unstable, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and said: "No! He turned around sharply, got on his horse, ran to the Chinese army, and when he arrived at the bottom of the lookout tower, he raised his head and clenched his fists, and shouted: "The left side of the formation is set to order, please give the order to fight!" ”
……
When Yang Yu led the bow to the watchtower to ask for battle, the impact formation of the Wu army changed.
Thousands of people moved forward as they adjusted their ranks.
First of all, it's sapphire. He led a hundred men to go ahead on the order of Chang Yuchun's army, because they were all cavalry, and the speed was very fast, and he had already crossed the two wings that were originally in front and was at the forefront.
Secondly, it was Chang Yuchun, who led the remaining three or four hundred elite horsemen to follow, and the distance between the two was about hundreds of steps.
Again, it's the two wings. Both wings are foot soldiers, following Chang Yuchun's orders, and are gradually moving closer to him, with Lan Yu and Chang Yuchun's cavalry as the edge, roughly forming an arrow-shaped formation. In the battle that is about to begin, they will be the front army.
Again, it's the Chinese army. The Chinese army was also a foot soldier, falling behind the two flanks, and had been transformed into a rear formation, and at the same time took on the task of supporting the front army and ensuring the security of the rear army.
……
In the Yuan army array, looking upstairs.
Sain Chi Dahu and Wang Baobao watched from the heights. Both of them had recovered from the initial shock, calmed down, calmed down, and began to think of a way to defeat the enemy.
"Often thieves are brave, outlaws, and dare to rush forward against our formation despite the chaos of the rear army. Looking at its formation, it is clear that it wants to use cavalry as a front, in order to disrupt our army's formation first; After that, he will use his infantry to attack and break our army's formation. ......, Baobao, how do you think our army should respond? ”
"Although the thief is fierce and has few soldiers, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is enough to deal with him with the right wing of our army! The only one to worry about is the swallow thief. Father, please see. The thieves have all gone out, but the thieves are still standing still, watching from the wall, obviously, their idea should be to wait for our army to fight with the thieves first, and then look for an opportunity to rush our army's formation. In the child's opinion, at this time, the point should be to guard against the swallow thief! ”
"Just how do you guard against the swallow thief?"
"Two. First, the left wing must not be moved. Second, no matter how fierce the thieves are, if they take 10,000 steps back, even if the right flank of our army is difficult to resist and has to send the Chinese army to rush to the rear to help, the main force must not move! At least sixty percent of the reserves need to be left behind to shock the thieves and make them dare not move. ”
Sainchi replied very much to Wang Baobao's opinion, and said: "What Wu'er said is very true, so I will respond to the enemy according to this." "Pass the order to go, beat the drum, sound the horn, wave the flag. Groups of heralds galloped out from under the watchtower, scattered into the right wing, the middle army, the left wing, and the rear formation, and the Yuan army of nearly 20,000 people acted according to the order.
……
Yan army formation.
Looking downstairs, raise the bow to ask for battle.
Looking at the tower, Zhao Guo held on to the railing, looked at Wu Jun from afar, and was silent.
……
The rear of the Chinese army left by the Wu army was still in the melee, and the main force had already advanced a thousand paces, and it was only a stone's throw away from the Yuan army's position. A military flag waved on the watchtower of the Yuan army, and with the dance of the flag, the artillery and crossbows in front of the formation and in the formation began to fire. Suddenly, the arrows rained down.
Every time the artillery was fired, accompanied by a roar, a puff of black smoke rose. A lot of black smoke mixed together, and when viewed from a distance, it was as if a dark cloud had suddenly appeared, covering the front of the Yuan army. Cannonballs and arrows continued to fly out of the smoke, either outside the Wu army's formation, or into the Wu army's formation.
On the vast plain, under the hazy sky, in front of the city of Shanzhou, the Yan army lined up in the north of the city to watch.
The Yuan army formed a formation with its back to the city to defend it, and the Wu army formed an offensive formation to charge from the south, and the shells fell to the ground, smashing out potholes and stirring up puffs of dust and smoke; The arrows fell like clouds and rain, carrying the sound of the wind, "whooshing" sounded, and one after another, Sergeant Wu fell to the ground with arrows.
At the same time, the archers of the Wu army also began to counterattack, some shooting arrows while moving with the team; Some simply formed formations on the spot and launched in unison, and there were also casualties among the soldiers in the Yuan army's formation.
However, after all, the Wu army was the attacking side, and the archery counterattack was a minority, and most of the soldiers either raised their shields or bowed their heads and waists, and rushed forward with the main general of their own team. As long as you rush through this distance, you can be considered to have avoided the danger of a rain of arrows. There is a saying that "there are no more than three arrows in front of the enemy", especially in the face of the rapid charge of the cavalry, most of the time, the defending side can shoot at most three or four arrows.
……
Lan Yu led a hundred horsemen, risked the arrows, took the lead, and quickly rushed through the range of the Yuan army's arrows.
……
Yuan array, look upstairs.
Sain Chi Dahu and Wang Baobao saw this small group of cavalry rushing to the front, the two of them did not know Lan Yu's name, Sain Chi Dahu said: "The main force of the Wu thief is still more than two hundred paces away, and our archers can shoot two or three more arrows. There will be only a hundred horsemen who will come to the attack, and if he stops firing arrows, it will be against me. Order: Open the front door, let it into the formation, and ride to kill it. And still ordered the archers and artillery to attack the main force of the Wu thieves. ”
……
Lan Yu rushed to the front of the Yuan army, and was about to raise his spear to assassinate, when the shield hand in front of him suddenly scattered to both sides, making way for a way. In his busy schedule, his heart moved, and he secretly thought to himself: "The Tartar will let me go without a fight, it must be to lure me into the shortlist!" Although he knew the reason, he was young and vigorous, and the other was bold, fearless, and rushed straight with his subordinates.
……
Yan array, look upstairs.
When Chang Yuchun "did not defend the counterattack", Zhao Guo's face did not change much, and at this time there was finally a slightly surprised look, he turned his head and Pan Xianer and said: "Only, only with a hundred horses, you dare to go straight into the Tartar array." Although the blue and blue jade are young, they are bold! No, he is worthy of being a brother-in-law who often participates in politics. ”
At this time, the main force of the Wu army was still two hundred steps away, and even Chang Yuchun, who was rushing to the front, was still more than a hundred steps away from Lan Yu. The distance of more than a hundred steps may not be far, and Chang Yuchun is also a cavalry, which can be reached in an instant, but Lan Yu's deep penetration into the enemy formation is equivalent to isolating himself from Chang Yuchun. The words "bold and strong" are indeed affordable.
Pan Xian Erjiu in Liaodong, heard and witnessed, has always felt that the Yan army is very strong, all the battles experienced, no matter who is beaten is like a bamboo, he thinks that the north and south are the heroes, only Chakhan Timur is an opponent, but he never expected, since the beginning of the decisive battle in the east of the plain, not for a long time, Wu Jun has repeatedly made amazing moves, first often in spring, and now it is blue jade, I don't feel the feeling of sitting in the well and watching the sky, sighing, and said in a complicated mood: "See the heroes of the world today!" Regardless of the common spring, just a blue jade, a yellow-mouthed child, has such courage, and he is not to be underestimated! ”
Looking at the enemy tower, I saw Wang Baobao and Saiin Chida suddenly reacting, and I couldn't help but recall the difficulties of Juye's victory; I also remembered that Wang Baobao was defeated but not discouraged, and it was not easy to stick to Shanzhou after the defeat; and Sainchida's wonderful act of boosting morale through the military parade in the West Plains, and recalling the thrill of the Battle of Yidu years ago, he couldn't help but sigh again, and said repeatedly: "Today is to see the heroes of the world!" ”
……
Sapphire enters the battle.
Hundreds of horsemen formed a phalanx.
The battalions in the Yuan army formation obeyed the order, did not entangle with it, and left as soon as they touched, deliberately letting it go deeper. The large array of nearly 20,000 people is very deep. One hundred and ten people fell into it, as if they were dropping into the sea, and almost in the blink of an eye, Lan Yu and the others had disappeared from the sight of Wu Jun in the distance. Even, even Zhao Guo and Pan Xianer, who were condescending in the Yan army array, were difficult to see them,—— after all, they were too far apart.
……
Outside the Yuan army's formation, Chang Yuchun led the elite cavalry to within 100 steps, and the main force of the infantry behind was only less than 200 steps away from the Yuan army's position.
Many of them watched Lan Yu rush into the enemy formation, watched Lan Yu disappear, and then saw that the frontline position of the Yuan army regrouped was not chaotic at all, and their hearts sank, and their faces changed.
Feng Guosheng on the left flank sent people to rush forward, caught up with Chang Yuchun, and said: "Lan She's lone army is deep and can't last. The front of the Tartar is scattered and reunited, and there is no chaos, and it is expected that the blue house is gone! Now that our army is about to engage with the Tartars, please give the general an order, my left flank is willing to take the front, break the enemy first, and avenge Lanshe! ”
Cai Qian, the right wing, also sent people to ask for battle: "The elite in the Tartar array gathered, and there were only 100 horsemen in the Blue House, so I was afraid that it would be difficult to block, and I might have died in battle." Our army is about to receive the enemy, and the last general will ask for battle, seek the first, and avenge the soldiers! ”
Chang Yuchun's generals also said: "The blue house is gone!" The last general, please be the vanguard and avenge the enemy! ”
