Chapter 303: Reversal of Attack and Defense
The two battle flags, which represented the beginning of the battle, slowly rose from the alchemy platforms of the two sides again.
The "armies" of Jiang Lan and Yang Zimu have also been assembled on both sides of the sand table.
The alchemy balls, each of which numbered a thousand, had been transformed into three different classes under the manipulation of the two of them, and they entered the sand table without hesitation.
In general, whether it is Jiang Lan or Yang Zimu, the tactical methods of both of them are based on a lot of training, supplemented by unbridled tricks.
And in comparison, Yang Zimu is sharper in the use of strange tricks.
And Jiang Lan himself is a more stable training cornerstone.
At this moment, when the two armies entered the sand table separately, the two sides had quickly explored the surrounding environment with small groups of cavalry, and then the infantry steadily advanced to the central valley.
Although the topography of the sand table is ever-changing, in order to ensure that no one will fall into adversity because of the terrain, the sand table usually has a large winding river in the middle.
So after countless battles before, people have gradually understood:
The best place to defend is actually on both sides of the central valley, as long as the valley is firmly guarded and the opponent is not allowed to easily cross the river to fight, then half of the victory has already been achieved.
On the contrary, the more enterprising and unwilling to defend are, the more likely they will try to avoid the opponent's resistance and successfully cross the river as quickly as possible.
Because only when the river crossing is successful, the two sides can also fight on a level playing field.
Therefore, how to cross the river or how to prevent it has really become a crucial thing in the deduction war.
......
Jiang Lan seemed to want to defend, and his small group of cavalry had already cooperated with the same number of logistics troops, and directly divided into as many as five or six units, and went to each place where the water flow was gentle to guard. ”
The speed at which the logistician troops built the river crossing fortifications and the speed at which the infantry units directly forced the river crossing were obviously related to the simulated water flow rate on the sand table.
Therefore, Jiang Lan's move was to directly take the small cavalry force as his eyes, directly control each key suitable for crossing the river, and then slowly let the infantry troops behind him force towards the river valley.
"But I always think about defense first, and I lost three points from the beginning. ”
Lin Shanyue, the dean of Qinghua, used to also serve in the imperial army, and his understanding of combat was also inclined to be empire-style radical, and he was not optimistic about Jiang Lan's defense.
And the facts at this moment, the facts are really as Lin Shanyue expected.
Just before Jiang Lan's baggage army arrived, a force that was also small in number, but just enough to eat Jiang Lan's reconnaissance cavalry, appeared in the sand table on Jiang Lan's side.
Yang Zimu seemed to have guessed Jiang Lan's tactics a long time ago, and directly used a large number of logistics troops to cooperate with the hundred-man cavalry, and successfully built fortifications to cross the river from the most turbulent section of the river at all costs.
Then, even faster, he devoured the upstreammost Jiang Lanfang probe cavalry.
Yang Zimu's sharp attack obviously immediately put great pressure on Jiang Lan, but fortunately, Jiang Lan's cavalry also played a role as an eye while being devoured.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan did not hesitate at all.
Directly outflanked the large army that had been set up and flanked by the slow flow after the cavalry was swallowed up.
As long as Yang Zimu dares to take the opportunity to cross the river from there, Jiang Lan's ensuing army will also directly cross the mountains and forests and press to the river bank.
Before Yang Zimu's army completely crossed the river, it was cut off and devoured separately.
......
But Jiang Lan was obviously dragged into Yang Zimu's rhythm, and in the face of Yang Zimu's eating of his probing eye, Jiang Lan seemed to have only a desperate defense of this breakthrough. ”
However, in this way, the so-called fog on the battlefield no longer exists for Yang Zimu. Jiang Lan's move Yang Zimu must have guessed it, and Yang Zimu will inevitably make a response that Jiang Lan expected again. ”
understands Yang Zimu the most, and sure enough, Qinghua Dean Lin Shanyue is the best.
As soon as Lin Shanyue's words fell, Jiang Lan's army really swooped down at the top.
Even the cavalry that had raided earlier had all withdrawn to the other side from the fortifications of crossing the river, leaving only Jiang Lan with a back that he could not catch up.
At the same time, the real infantry army in Yang Zimu's hands forcibly crossed the river from the shallows at the very bottom.
The cavalry that Jiang Lan used as an eye here was only a few twenty or thirty.
In the face of Yang Zimu's army, which was in the hundreds, even if the cavalry could indeed exchange a large proportion of infantry troops, they could not stop Yang Zimu's successful crossing of the river after all.
Rather than this, it is better to protect the logistics soldiers who are speeding up the cavalry to evacuate quickly.
At least there is a chance to reorganize the defenses.
Jiang Lan's choice really fell into everyone's prediction again, and in the face of Yang Zimu's army who crossed the river brazenly, Jiang Lan was really reluctant to have a large number of logistics troops behind the cavalry.
Immediately let the cavalry itself, which was used for reconnaissance, immediately converge with the rest of the reconnaissance forces.
Now that the situation is clear, Jiang Lan will of course try to launch a surprise attack on Yang Zimu's infantry crossing the river with the two hundred cavalry troops that have converged together again after successfully evacuating the logistics troops.
......
But his every move undoubtedly fell into Yang Zimu's calculations. At this time, even if Jiang Lan protected his logistics troops, when he returned to the river bank again to try to raid, Yang Zi's infantry had obviously successfully crossed the river, and they could hide in the mountains and forests that the cavalry could not enter. ”
"And when that happens, the mobility advantage of the cavalry is gone. On the contrary, it is the infantry who can easily cross the mountains and forests that will become Jiang Lan's nightmare. Without the natural barrier of the river, the infantry troops that can constantly cross the mountain and forest barrier are really Yang Zimu's final killer move. ”
At this moment, even if Lin Shanyue didn't continue to explain, everyone had already seen Jiang Lan's disadvantage.
From the moment Yang Zimu saw through the first move, Jiang Lan has always been absolutely passive.
Now, with the successful crossing of the river by Yang Zimu's infantry force, Jiang Lan seems to be just as Lin Shanyue said, even the combined cavalry does not know whether to kill or not.
Still a little hesitant, wandering on the riverbank after the confluence.
Seeing this, Deng avoided laziness, and finally shook his head with slight regret, after all, as a pure magic academy, the Northern Academy has never been Qinghua's opponent in the military field.
It seems that even if Jiang Lan fails, it is a reasonable thing.
However, as the dean of the college, Deng Shunlazy also gave up his attention to the deduction battle slightly. The exclamations that followed one after another suddenly came from the mouths of the audience who had not yet left.
Deng was stunned when he heard this, and looked into the sand table again in a bit of a daze.
And with the reappearance of Deng Shunla's gaze, a scene that surprised Deng Shunla, and even Lin Shanyue couldn't think of it, but it was so brazen that pierced everyone's eyes.
Jiang Lan ...... It seems to be more radical than Yang Zimu!"
I saw that Jiang Lan, who was obviously controlled everywhere, not only did not rush the cavalry and infantry to reinforce him again in a hurry, but instead made a choice that no one expected.
Jiang Lan's large infantry force found the river crossing fortifications that Yang Zimu had built in the turbulence at the beginning, and directly crossed the river with great momentum after breaking away from the surveillance of the cavalry on the opposite bank.
As the cavalry gathered together, the reason why they waited in the riverside area was not to wander and entangle meaninglessly, but to wait for the logistics soldiers to build the fortifications for crossing the river.
In an instant, with Yang Zimu's army brazenly crossing the river, Jiang Lan instead moved to the other side of the river.
The troops of the two warring sides actually invaded each other's territory.
And when Jiang Lan's army crossed the river, Jiang Lan was even more cautious, completely dismantling the fortifications to cross the river again, and then continued to press in the direction away from the river valley.
Although Yang Zimu's infantry had already crossed the river, the cavalry that had devoured Jiang Lan's eyes earlier was undoubtedly still on the opposite side of the river.
At this moment, Jiang Lan is the first to eat this remaining cavalry.
