Chapter 6: Turning the Tide (Part I)

Su galloped while watching the situation of the battlefield, he had never ridden a horse before, but fortunately, the war horse under the crotch was a good horse that had already been tamed, and Xu Rui was very close, and he could cater to the attitude of the master and gallop steadily.

But even so, he rode dangerously, if he hadn't been very close to the Chinese army's tent, he might have fallen from his horse and died before he could reach it.

However, at this moment, he was excited and urgent, and he had no energy to take care of his own safety at all, and he could see clearly along the way that the Black Flag Army did not have any follow-up troops.

In other words, this Black Flag Army is a lone army nine times out of ten, and it is coming from other places, and it is in a state of sleepiness.

According to Su's judgment, the commander of the enemy army probably wanted to wait for the army to attack the city and get tired, first use the 3,000 Black Flag Army to disrupt the Northern Guards, wait for the army to disperse, and then supplement the defenders in the city to jointly attack and eat all the enemies in one fell swoop.

If Liu Yi hadn't listened to Su's advice and left half of the men, Beiwuwei would definitely not have been able to escape the annihilation of the entire army, but now that the forward battalion has bought time for the army with 2,500 fresh troops, Su will have a way to turn the tide!

Of course, the premise is that someone in Beiwuwei listens to him.

"Stop! Who's coming? Dare to trespass into the big tent of the Chinese army! ”

In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, two rows of guards unsheathed their swords, and the galloping horses suddenly stood up, almost throwing Su who was thinking out.

Su finally stabilized his body, jumped off the horse, and said: "Xu Rui, the leader of the guard, has urgent military affairs to see the marshal!" ”

The two rows of guards were Xu Rui's colleagues, so they were naturally very familiar with him, but they were on duty and could not tolerate favoritism.

The leader shook his head and said: "Xu Zuoling knows the rules, during the war, idle people and other miscellaneous people cannot be recorded unless summoned by the marshal, so don't make it difficult for the general." ”

Su gritted his teeth and was searching his stomach to think about words, when he suddenly heard a loud shout from the account.

"Great commander, the Black Flag Army is about to break through the defense line of the forward battalion, and the last general will request to mobilize the three battalions of soldiers and horses that have not fought to stop it!"

"The last general seconded it!"

"The last general also seconded it!"

There was a chorus of seconding in the big tent, but Su secretly screamed badly, and his heart suddenly became anxious, and he shouted desperately: "Don't stop, don't stop, if you block the whole army head-on, it's in danger!" ”

The noise of the Chinese army is a big crime, and several of the personal soldiers who stopped Su hurriedly rushed up and knocked him down.

Su didn't know martial arts, so where could he resist, he was subdued almost instantly.

In the Chinese army, the colorless Cao Gongcheng sat in a daze on the auxiliary seat, he was a little restless since the beginning of the war, and when the Black Flag Army appeared, he was directly frightened, thinking that his death was approaching, and his soul had already flown out of the sky.

Until he heard Su's voice, Gonggong Cao suddenly returned to his soul like a zombie, his face became a little angry, and most of his extreme fear dissipated with that shout.

"Xu Rui, it's Xu Rui's kid here, he's saved, he's saved, quick, call him over!"

Ignoring the stunned gaze of the generals, Gonggong Cao screamed at the top of his throat.

The two little eunuchs hurriedly rushed to the door of the big tent to pick up Xu Rui, and Yang Weiyuan, the commander who had never liked the supervision army interfering in the military, just glanced at him, and rarely did not open his mouth to stop him.

The generals in the tent looked at each other, and they didn't know where this Xu Rui was, and he had the ability to make the two coaches abnormal.

It wasn't until the little eunuch led Su Jin to the big tent that the generals reacted, and it turned out to be Xu Rui, the righteous son of the big handsome.

Several senior generals glanced at each other, and they all had some complaints in their hearts.

Only high-ranking officers can enter the handsome tent, and at this time, he even let an injured guard leader enter the big tent, and the eunuch of Gonggong Cao is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, but how can the wise marshal let him come to him?

"Marshal, please quickly send three battalions to block the Black Flag Army, I'm afraid it will be too late if it's too late!"

Xiao Jinwu, the commander with a beard on his face, took a step forward, clenched his fists and yelled.

"It's better to be too late than to completely bury the army of 50,000!"

As soon as Su entered the tent door, he heard someone have a bad idea, and in a hurry, he didn't care about the etiquette that should be there, so he opened his mouth and shouted.

The generals turned their heads to look, only to see Xu Rui's disdainful face, and they were immediately furious, and a few of the short-tempered ones had even rolled up their sleeves, ready to teach this kid who didn't understand the rules a lesson, but they didn't move because they were pulled by the robe.

There is no other place in the army, who can make a name for himself here is not a figure rolling in the pile of dead people, no one will care who you are, if it weren't for the fact that Xu Rui was beaten at the war, it would be light.

As soon as Gonggong Cao saw Xu Rui, the three souls and seven spirits instantly returned to their positions, and he jumped up from the chair with a "poof", stepped to Xu Rui's side in a few big steps, grabbed his wrist and said, "Boy, you're finally here, hurry, tell me what to do now?" ”

Seeing that Xu Rui and Gonggong Cao were intimate, the generals thought that he had become the eunuch dog's leg, and they were even more angry in their hearts, looking at him like a cold and shining knife.

Su knew that his words had offended the generals in the hall, but now was not the time to be a good man, so he had to bow his hand to Yang Weiyuan and Cao Gonggong, and said without humility or arrogance: "If you send three battalions to block the Black Flag Army head-on, the army will collapse!" ”

"Boom", the audience was in an uproar.

"Fart!"

The commander Xiao Jinwu said angrily: "The child is ignorant, if you don't send troops to stop it, the Black Flag Army will definitely point directly at the Chinese army, and then it will really be powerless to return to the sky!" ”

Su Leng snorted and said: "The Black Flag soldiers and horses are one, coming and going like the wind, if the three battalions of infantry block it head-on, the enemy will definitely bypass the defense line and attack elsewhere."

The rest of the battalions are tired soldiers, there is no way to resist, and the reinforced infantry can't keep up with their speed, so they can only follow their butts and eat ashes, and the final result is that our army is defeated, and the defeat is irreparable!

I ask the generals, who can tell the lowly position how to control the situation if such a situation happens?! ”

"This ......"

The generals in the hall immediately looked at each other.

Give full play to the speed advantage of the cavalry, throw off the infantry, and attack the weak links of the military formation, Xu Rui is talking about the classic cavalry tactics, any sober-minded cavalry general will act like this, let alone the ace of the ace of the Black Flag Army?

It's not a possibility, it's a certainty!

And once several battalions are scattered and a large number of deserters appear, the army of 50,000 will instantly collapse and become a herd of lambs to the slaughter.

At that time, even if the King of Soldier Saint Wuling was on their side, they could only be helpless and helpless.

Thinking of the terrible consequences, the generals who had previously begged to go to war were all frightened into a cold sweat.

In fact, it was not that they were too stupid, but that the appearance of the Black Flag Army disrupted their plans, and more importantly, the prestige of King Wuling had caused them a huge pressure, so that they could only think about how to resist by habitually, and forgot to think comprehensively.

At this time, Su lightly touched it, and the generals seemed to have instantly uncovered the small leaf of the obstacle, and immediately came back to their senses, but it was one thing to come back to their senses, and it was another thing to come up with a countermeasure in such a short time.

The huge handsome tent was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on a sixteen-year-old boy, although he didn't want to admit it, Sue's first shot had already made people forget his age and title.

Yang Weiyuan threw the arrow in his hand on the table, and said expressionlessly: "The reason why the commander has not sent the third battalion is because he is worried about this result. ”

Su hugged his fists and said: "The lowly position has indeed thought of a way, it depends on whether the handsome dare to gamble with the lowly position?" ”

"Bet?"

The generals were stunned again, gambling in the army, but who dared to disobey military law and gamble in wartime? Could it be that this kid thinks that Yang Dashuai's decapitation steel knife is not sharp enough?

Yang Weiyuan's eagle-like eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked unhurriedly: "Say, how to bet?" ”

Su said calmly: "There are only more than 3,000 people in the Black Flag Army, and it is a lone army, as long as their mobility is restricted, it can be slowly eaten.

Therefore, the army can open a passage in the front to introduce the Black Flag Army into the Chinese army, and there are trenches dug in front of the Chinese army's camp and equipped with horse rejection stakes, which can greatly slow down the speed of the cavalry.

As long as the personal guard battalion lasts for a stick of incense, and then allows the three battalions that have never fought to surround from all sides, it is possible to completely annihilate these 3,000 cavalry in one fell swoop!

It's just that this move is too risky, either you die or I die, so I asked the marshal if he dared to gamble his life with the Black Flag Army? ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, wanting to encircle and annihilate the Black Flag Army, this is a feat that no one has ever done, this young man has such ambition and courage, it can really be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, which makes a cadre of generals present embarrassed.

However, although this plan sounds feasible, it is difficult to operate in practice, as long as there is a problem in one link, it will lead to the annihilation of the whole army, and the risk is too great.

"Never!"

Xiao Jinwu immediately hugged his fists and said: "Although this method is feasible, but it is too dangerous, if the Black Flag Army is determined to capture the Chinese army, there is no way to resist it with the strength of the personal guard battalion alone, once the Chinese army is lost, the army will still be defeated without a leader, and the defeat will be faster and more miserable!" ”

Xiao Jinwu is a general, and he has always been heavy with soldiers, so he is naturally the first to oppose risk.

His opposition was seconded by many generals, there is no luck in the military formation, no matter ancient or modern, the command system is the top priority, if you lose the commander in order to stabilize the military formation, this is a stupid thing that outweighs the loss.

The generals' worries were also what Yang Weiyuan was worried about, and he looked at Su with a frown, as if waiting for him to answer.

Su Bad laughed and said: "General don't worry, the humble duty has not been finished yet, the art of war is 'encircling the division must be que', as long as the army leaves a gap in the encirclement, the Black Flag Army will naturally not fight to the death if it has a way to retreat."

And our army only needs to set up an encirclement after each gap, and the cycle repeats, like a big trap and a small circle, with only 3,000 men and horses, even if the combat power is strong, it will be slowly eroded! ”

After saying a word, the big tent fell silent again, as if a needle could be heard clearly when it fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly there was a loud praise: "Brilliant plan! What a plan! Such a simple plan, why didn't Xiao think of it?! ”

Xiao Jinwu was bright and upright, and when he heard this, he was immediately enlightened, and he praised him without reservation, despite the opposition a second ago, and the other generals also nodded again and again, and couldn't help but look at this young man in a hospital gown with his hair in a messy bun.

A few familiar generals wondered in their hearts, did this brave and martial Xu Rui receive the guidance of a master? Otherwise, how could he have such an unpredictable talent in an instant?

Yang Weiyuan stared at Xu Rui up and down, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he threw out an arrow and shouted, "Where is the commander Xiao Jinwu?" ”

"The last general!"

Xiao Jinwu, who was full of beard, immediately clenched his fists and stepped out.

Yang Weiyuan said: "I order you to personally lead the three guards to fight, and the battle method should be arranged quickly according to Xu Rui's strategy, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Xiao Jinwu took the arrow, kowtowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Su hurriedly paused and said: "There is another thing that the marshal needs to arrange in advance, and it is expected that after the Black Flag Army enters the Chinese army, there will be another army in the city to echo, and the marshal can order the forward battalion to quickly rectify the chaotic army and keep an eye on the enemy who is rushing to help, so that it can be foolproof!" ”

Yang Weiyuan was slightly stunned and asked: "If the forward battalion is defeated by the Black Flag Army, it will be a new defeat, a newly defeated army, how can you conclude that they still have the strength to fight?" ”

Su said confidently: "The Black Flag Army is strong, and the forward battalion will definitely not last long, but in such a short period of time, it will only be the military formation that will be disrupted, and it will not hurt the roots, as long as it is effectively organized, it will immediately recover its combat strength, which is enough to resist the defenders in the city."

Moreover, after the rout of the forward battalion, the morale of the army will inevitably be damaged, and if the defenders in the city with weak combat strength are defeated, it will also help the forward battalion restore the morale of the army as soon as possible, killing two birds with one stone! ”

Yang Weiyuan nodded, he is also a decisive person, since he has decided to act according to Su's strategy, there is no need to twist and pinch anymore, now that the time is pressing, there is no time to delay any longer.

He immediately took out another arrow and threw it on the ground, shouting: "Order the forward battalion, so that General Liu will quickly reorganize after the defeat and prepare to meet the enemy in the city!" ”

The herald hurriedly picked up the arrow, quickly got out of the tent, mounted his horse, and rushed towards the forward camp in a hurry.

After doing all this, Yang Weiyuan got up and walked out of the military case, and said loudly: "The generals will follow the commander to the general stage and command together." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the tent first, and the rest of the generals followed closely to Dianjiangtai, Su was pulled by Gonggong Cao, followed closely behind Yang Weiyuan, and followed suit.

Dianjiangtai is a high platform made of earth and stone, and you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield from standing on it, and the view is excellent.

It was the first time that Su had observed a large-scale cold weapon battle so intuitively and comprehensively, and his blood was surging in an instant, and he trembled.

On top of the battle array, the Northern Wuwei was well-trained, but in a moment's effort, it had already been arranged according to Su's strategy, and the door of the military formation slowly opened, opening its arms without a trace, ready to meet the terrifying Black Flag Army.

The Black Flag Army was even more brave, but it had broken through the blockade of the forward battalion in a single stick of incense, and after that, it broke through the military formation of four battalions one after another.

Standing on the point general's platform, it can be clearly seen that there are several large groups of chaos on the originally strict military formation of the Northern Guard, and a large number of routs are scattered and fleeing, faintly collapsing.

If it weren't for the fact that the forward battalion had bought a lot of time, the army was able to retreat from under Yishui City and calmly adjust the formation, I am afraid that it would have been attacked from both sides at this moment, and it would have evolved into a big rout.

Just when the Black Flag Army was killing all sides, it was keenly aware of the passage that appeared before the Wei Central Army, and a whistle suddenly came out of the Black Flag Army, and more than 3,000 people were in unison, like a flood surging towards the gap.

An army formation standing in front of them was instantly crushed, and a large number of defeated troops retreated, blocking the passage of the follow-up troops, causing a burst of confusion.

The military law battalion immediately took place and killed many deserters on the spot, but there were still more soldiers who were frightened and fled in all directions, breaking the army formation, and the whole battlefield was like a machine stuck in gears, and the smashed door could not be closed for a long time.

Su was suddenly taken aback, at this moment, he could really see the combat effectiveness of the Black Flag Army, and the situation on the battlefield was far worse than he imagined.

If he could not block the rear road of the Black Flag Army in time, his strategy would not be able to continue, and when the front guard battalion was broken through, the entire army would no longer be able to escape the end of the entire army.

It was too fast, it was too fast, the march of the Black Flag Army was too fast, and the defeat of the Wei army was too fast, far beyond Su's expectations, and he had to re-examine whether his strategy could withstand the test of practice.

The battlefield is like this, theory is one thing, reality is another, in the absence of actual data, Su also had to use the most primitive estimation method, the consequence of this is that even he himself does not know what will happen in the next second.

Fortunately, after all, Beiwuwei was a strong soldier of the Wei State, and after a moment of chaos, the follow-up army finally diverted the rout, slowly closed the gap, and blocked the encirclement.

But before Su could breathe a sigh of relief, a new situation appeared.

"Report!!"

A herald rushed to the front of the generals and kowtowed: "Commander Qiqi, the Black Flag Army has entered the Chinese army and engaged the guard battalion!" ”

"Probe!"

"Yes!"

Although the strength of the guard battalion was comparable to that of the Black Flag Army, the combat effectiveness of the light infantry was more than twice as bad as that of the heavy cavalry, and it was in danger as soon as the battle was engaged.

If even the guards battalion that had never fought were to collapse at the touch of a button, then the dozen or so leaders on the general platform would be directly exposed to the enemy's butcher's knife, and Su's good strategy would become a foolish strategy to bring about his own destruction.

And Su himself is afraid that he will become a laughing stock like Zhao Kuo, who can only talk on paper.

The Black Flag Army's battle is simply incredible, it is absolutely impossible to go on like this, we have to quickly find a way to turn the situation around!

Looking at the rapidly turning battlefield situation, Su frowned, and his brain was racing.
