Chapter 485: Teach you how to ride and fight

The most important factor that determines the outcome of a cavalry battle is not the offensive and defensive attributes, but the ability to maneuver, and the side with strong mobility will always be invincible.

This is Murong Fang's unswerving point of view, and it is also the first lesson that Fang Zhiwen taught Murong Fang, Fang Zhiwen has never advocated blindly fighting with the enemy for losses, if possible, he must strive to obtain the greatest result with the lowest price, and Murong Fang also believes in this dogma.

Murong Fang observed Yan Liang, who was divided into four camps a few miles away, and immediately understood his plan, outflanking left and right, breaking through in the middle, the Chinese army will be accelerated by two teams of cavalry in turn, this tactic is a more effective way to deal with the archers, the left and right outflanking is to limit the direction selection of the enemy army running in front, to avoid the enemy army from taking advantage of the favorable terrain to get rid of and turn, and the Chinese army to accelerate in turn, and the average speed of the chase can be increased by one to two percent, and it can consume the enemy's horsepower more quickly, At the same time, try to save your horsepower.

"The order is that the whole army is divided into two teams, the first team of the assault cavalry is the first team, the heavy crossbow dragoons are the second team, the B team is on the left, and the first team is on the right, marching in unison, due west, moving at half speed."

"No1

As soon as Murong Fang came up, he put on a posture of seizing the periphery, moving sideways on the battlefield, which would allow him to occupy an active position that was suitable for both advance and retreat, this was the so-called periphery of the battlefield, if Yan Liang's tactics remained unchanged. If the three arrows are still fired at once, the outflanking force on the right side, that is, on the east side, will be completely a decoration, and the speed of the army on the left side is very important, if the enemy army cannot be intercepted in time, the pursuit of the Chinese army will become a pursuit in a circle. Not only is the distance long, but more importantly, the time difference is very fatal, if the left army can block the enemy in time. The enemy may also change direction again and turn away from the north, and the pursuing forces of the left army will be the target of attack if they pursue them at close range.

Murong Fang's response was very cunning. On the grassland, Murong Fang has seen a lot of cavalry tactics, Yan Liang's tactics have huge loopholes at the beginning, because the width of his starting troops is flat and has no depth, and the spacing is too small.

However, Yan Liang, who was too impatient, wanted to shorten the distance and rely on speed to annihilate Murong Fang in one fell swoop, but he was easily exploited by his opponent to exploit his loopholes. hindered the mobility of Yan Liang's troops and shattered his siege plan.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves woke up Yan Liang, who was a little stunned, and as soon as the enemy's reaction appeared, Yan Liang secretly shouted, 'Oops', the distance between his troops was too narrow, and the battlefield control range was too narrow, and the time for adaptation was too little, this gap was accurately seized by the enemy, and at the beginning of the battle, Yan Liang fell into passivity!

"The left army accelerates the pursuit! The Chinese army is in the southwest direction and is catching up at full speed. The right army was headed north, preventing the enemy from changing direction. ”

Yan Liang has no time to review his tactical mistakes at this time, and if he doesn't make the right response, his situation will get worse.

Yan Liang chose to attack, in fact, he could also choose to defend, of course, the change of defensive formation was more troublesome, because Yan Liang had already divided the troops into four flat pieces, and it would take more time to re-form a diamond or phalanx, and Murong Fang would definitely not leave him so much time.

Therefore, Yan Liang chose a method of dynamic adjustment, that is, to attack first, and then adjust his formation in the attack, but can Yan Liang's cavalry command level really surpass Murong Fang?

Yan Liang's order made the original left army become the middle army, his own middle army became the left army, and the right army was still the right army, but the bad thing was that their distance was not going hand in hand, nor was it ahead on both sides, and the middle army was lagging behind, but the middle army was prominent, the left army followed, and the right army was far behind!

Murong Fang watched Yan Liang change formation on the galloping war horse, and pursed the corners of his lips, what is this called! Such a terrible tactical choice, do you want to entangle me with a biased master? Yan Liang's cavalry tactics are still far behind! Let me teach you a good lesson today, so that you can understand how big your gap is, and let you understand that you must not think about fighting a field battle with the cavalry of Fengning County in the future!

"Team B's heavy crossbow flat attack is ready, ready! Put 1

'Hum/

A dull sound mingled with the rumbling of hooves was the one that all the warriors loved to hear, a voice that conveyed a death proclamation to the enemy!

A shining shattered star suddenly appeared in sight, the distance of two hundred steps disappeared in a flash, and the cavalry in bright light armor rushed as if they were swept by a long giant blade, and powerful crossbow arrows came head-on, and the speed of both sides was superimposed, and the damage was even more serious!

The neat cavalry team suddenly turned over on their backs, and the soldiers who were shot off the horses tripped over the war horses in the rear, and the fallen horses knocked down the war horses around them, as if a chain reaction, the forward of the pursuing troops was suddenly in chaos, and the cavalry behind would subconsciously choose to deviate to the south in order to avoid this chaotic obstacle, because the enemy army was moving in the southwest direction.

As a result, the neat sharp arrow formation just now became a formation that used its own flanks to face the enemy army.

"Team B accelerates its disengagement! Team A prepares for a salvo, throwing the whole process! Ready, put 1

The orders of the cavalry in the movement are not actually transmitted by sound, but rely on the flag, and the captains of each squad will keep an eye on the command flag and interpret the order according to the flag, but in order to facilitate the reader's understanding, it can only be converted into words!

The red flag pointed diagonally in the direction of the enemy, that was the order to shoot!

Then the red flag swayed from side to side, it was a command for free fire!

"Free fire, free fire 1

Team B had completely broken away and was running due west, and the heavy crossbowmen had no way to wind up their horses, which was indeed a fatal weakness, but Murong Fang made good use of the direct range of the heavy crossbow to disrupt the nearest enemy in pursuit. Then he made full use of the enemy's short-lived parallel state and gave the enemy a blow!

Although the damage may not be too large, because the opponent's defensive attributes are really good, even under the first round of heavy crossbow raids, the casualties are actually mainly caused by impact and stampede, and then the rain of arrows causes more chaos, and the number of casualties is really small. However, the speed of the enemy's pursuit was greatly delayed.

And at this time, Yan Liang's own Chinese army. It's still three or four miles away from the two warring sides! As for the Right Army, then even further!

"Turn northwest and join Team B1

Murong Fang's turn again. In order to avoid Yan Liang's Chinese army, Murong Fang took advantage of Yan Liang's continuous mistakes, and was always able to skillfully avoid Yan Liang's core striking force and pick the opponent's weakness!

The enemy suddenly turned to the northwest, as if they wanted to break away, and the generals of Yan Liang's left army, who had suffered hundreds of losses, were naturally extremely unwilling in their hearts, and immediately regrouped their troops, leaving behind the soldiers who were seriously wounded and losing their horses, and chased after them tightly, and they were able to catch up with Murong Fang naturally because Murong Fang did not escape at maximum speed at all.

He will continue to strike at the left army!

"Change formations. Reverse the geese marching formation! Echo 1

Murong Fang's cavalry team was divided left and right, and turned into a figure-of-eight formation, which was a goose marching formation in reverse direction, in order to create the maximum damage output for the return shot!

In mounted combat, it is better not to use maximum speed. On the one hand, it is to save horsepower, and on the other hand, it is to leave a speed margin for the convenience of changing formations.

Yan Liang's left army fell into tragedy, if you purely calculate the speed, they should be able to catch up with the enemy army, not to mention that the enemy army did not run at maximum speed. But the enemy's arrows are so hateful, the accuracy of those arrows is terrifying, constantly shooting at the front leg joints of the running horses, causing the horses to fall, seriously interfering with the speed of the pursuers, making people have a feeling of suffocation that cannot be forced, and this feeling accumulates and can definitely make people crazy!

As for Yan Liang's Chinese army, although it is constantly approaching, it is still some distance from the place of battle, and it can't be done if you want to intervene, to be honest, Yan Liang doesn't know what to do to change the situation that the left army is passively beaten.

If Yan Liang outflanks the west again, then it will be farther away from the battlefield where the left army is fighting, and there is no guarantee that the enemy army will turn again, if Yan Liang is determined to join the left army, then it is better not to separate a few parts at the beginning, just chase and fight directly, as for the right army that is still fighting soy sauce, it has been temporarily thrown out of the core of the battle.

Yan Liang clenched his teeth, at this time he had to admit that his opponent was a strong general worthy of his respect, from the perspective of shooting effect, the enemy general's force level was not high, and the speed was not superior, but just by virtue of the specialty of the archers and the clever use of cavalry tactics, this enemy general who was at least one order lower than his own rank, but he could easily play with his troops twice as much as his own in the applause, this kind of tactical literacy, Yan Liang knew that he was inferior, and he could only look up!

"The left army was ordered to slow down, save horsepower, the center army accelerated to catch up with the left army, and ordered the right army to move closer to the center army1

Murong Fang turned around and learned about the changes in the enemy's army from the deputy general who controlled the Golden Eagle beside him, and smiled slightly: "Finally learned a little smarter, knowing that tactics don't work, don't play tactics!" It's just a dignified chase, at least it doesn't have to be so ugly! Hehe. ”

"General, the number of enemy troops is huge, if we want to get rid of it, our speed is not enough, if the enemy army accelerates in turn, the physical strength of our war horse is very dangerous, and this time the pursuit and counter-pursuit may take a lot of time, and there is the consideration of depth, it is recommended to choose the route of Plan B."

Murong Fang thought for a while, recalling the characteristics of the route of Plan B, and then nodded: "Yes, just use Plan B, and order the squads along the way to prepare, and the scouts and cavalry will set off first to guide, and the troops will turn to the southwest 1."

"No1

Yan Liang slowed down and did not enter the distance of the battle, but was waiting for the convergence of the right army, but Murong Fang slowed down even more, wanting to let Yan Liang enter the firing range, but Yan Liang didn't pay attention to it at all, Yan Liang wanted to induce Murong Fang to take the initiative to attack, so that he could seize Murong Fang's flaws and attack him!

"Hey! In that case, let's give you a glimpse of the tactics of the archers' attack1

Murong Fang smiled coldly and bared his teeth, revealing his sharp fangs! To be continued! ~!
