Chapter 281: Serial Horse
"Ran Min is stubborn and brave in every battle, and he rarely has a general under him, who can always break through the enemy's formation, causing the army against him to collapse. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Gao Kai said unhurriedly, his tone was full of confidence, "At the moment, although we can't find a general who can stop Ran Min, we can maintain the army from more than collapse." ”
In addition to Murong Ke and Feng Yi, the generals in the tent heard him say that he hadn't said anything about what method to use for a long time, and their faces showed a look of dismay, but since Murong Ke didn't speak, they didn't dare to urge, so they could only wait patiently.
"General, do you remember the past of Chibi during the Three Kingdoms?" Gao Kai's Guan Zi was selling more and more vigorously, and no one spoke and asked Murong Ke directly.
"Oh? What did Gao Senjun say? Murong Ke had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught Gao Kai's intentions, and suddenly stood up and paced in the tent, while the rest of Feng Yi and the others were confused.
"Exactly." Gao Kai clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Use iron chains to form a phalanx and block Ran Min's way, so that even if some soldiers are timid and want to escape, they can't retreat because they are locked by iron chains, and they can only fight to the death with Ran Min, and they can still maintain the integrity of the formation." ”
"Ran Min's military strength is far inferior to my Dayan, if you want to win, the only way to win is to kill the Chinese army and take off our heads, and if the Chinese army has such an elite chained together in front of the formation, it will definitely be able to block Ran Min's way forward." Without waiting for Gao Kai to finish speaking, Murong Ke continued, "When the morale of the Wei army is more than half consumed, the ambush soldiers will attack its flanks from both sides, and they will definitely win in one battle!" ”
"The Wei army is mostly foot soldiers, and after the rout, it will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of our Great Yan army." At this time, Feng Yi also understood the intentions of these two people, and said excitedly, "This battle will definitely besiege and kill Ran Min in one fell swoop, the Great Wei will not be long after the founding of the country, and it will all depend on Ran Min's martial arts to continue, if Ran Min is killed, the Wei State will no longer have any soldiers to fight, and the remaining cities will definitely fall when the wind blows, and the day when my Dayan will seize Yecheng and pacify the Wei State is not far away!" ”
Under the leadership of Ran Min, the Great Wei fought for many years, and the loss of troops was severe, and now the 10,000 foot soldiers under Ran Min are almost the last essence of the Great Wei, if they are annihilated here, then the Great Wei will lose the last strength to block the Yan army; As for Ran Zhi, the prince of Great Wei who stayed in Yecheng, he was not taken into account by the generals of Great Yan.
"It's a brilliant plan, but it's not without its flaws." Murong Ke, who calmed down, quickly discovered the weakness of the chain horse phalanx, "My Great Yan Jing cavalry leader is coming and going like the wind, but if they are chained together, they can only be trapped in place, and it is okay to meet the enemy head-on, but if there is an enemy army from the rear and flanks, these cavalry can only wait to kill." ”
If by that time, the cavalry phalanx, which was chained together, would not even be able to turn around to meet the enemy, and the chain horses strengthened the frontal defense, but lost the most important mobility of the cavalry.
"The general is right, but now where did Great Wei find such a strange army?" Gao Kai didn't think of this, he had already dealt with it, "There are ambushes on both sides, if the Wei army attacks the flank, the ambush soldiers will immediately kill and stop them, and the Wei soldiers are not able to break the flank ambush and then enter the Chinese army; As for the rear ......"
Gao Kai pointed to the map and said, "From Anxi to Zhongshan, all along the road is my Dayan's territory, if the Wei army has ambushes, how can it not be discovered by us?" What the general said did hit the key point of this formation, but the Wei army did not have the military strength to attack the key points, so we don't need to worry too much. ”
"It's so good, just follow Mr. Gao's strategy, and in the past few days, Mr. Gao has led people to build chains and drill formations. I led the army to Anxi first to wait for the Wei army, and first wiped out its morale. Murong Ke was persuaded by Gao Kai's reason, and quickly made a decision, "At the time of the decisive victory, Ben will lead 20,000 troops to defend the Chinese army, and the front of the Chinese army will arrange 5,000 cavalry to line up as before to lure Ran Min to attack, and then these 5,000 cavalry will block the way of the Wei army with 5,000 iron chain horses; Feng Xiangguo and Gao Shen each led 20,000 elite cavalry to guard the left and right of the Chinese army, and immediately attacked the flank of the Wei army from both wings after seeing the flag of the Chinese army. ”
Murong Ke quickly said his decision, the Chinese army's forward 5,000 cavalry lured the enemy, followed by 5,000 chain horse phalanx, and Murong Ke's 20,000 troops in the rear to defend it, plus the 40,000 cavalry on both wings and Gao Kai, the strength of the Yan army directly facing the enemy reached more than 70,000 people; In addition, the rear army also needs to be guarded, and there are some other scattered soldiers and horses, Murong Ke pressed all his 100,000 troops for this battle, and the enemy they have to deal with is only 10,000 foot soldiers.
"The Last General's Order." The generals responded with their fists in unison, and the sound of the impact of armor blades sounded in the big tent, and the strategy of the Yan army to fight the Wei army was completed, and they waited for Ran Min to attack north.
The strategy has been decided, but it will take some time to complete the preparations, the chains linking the 5,000 horses need to be built temporarily, the chain horse phalanx needs to be rehearsed, and the dry food for the army needs to be prepared...... The Yan army camp immediately became busy, the iron stoves lit charcoal fires, and the blacksmiths collected from all over the left and near Zhongshan were sent into the camp and began to build day and night, and the tinkling of the hammer sounded day and night.
Murong Ke was not idle at this time, he personally led the guards and light cavalry to Anxi, Liantai and other places, carefully inspected the local terrain, so as not to have any accidents when the battle was imminent, and the caution made the generals admire. By the time they returned to the Zhongshan camp after their exploration, the first batch of serial horses trained by Gao Kai had already begun to take shape.
I saw hundreds of cavalry lined up in a neat queue in the school field, dozens of horses lined up in a row, all men and horses were in iron armor, arrows could not enter, and each horse was connected by iron chains, iron rings and horses on the left and right; Nearly ten rows of chain horses formed a neat phalanx, standing quietly on the school field.
In this way, the method of connecting dozens of horses together is equivalent to completely abandoning the mobility of the cavalry, and the movements of each horse are affected by the left and right horses, and they cannot move forward and backward freely, but it also causes great trouble to the enemy's attack, these cavalry can not retreat and can only fight to the death, if the Wei army wants to break through the chain horse phalanx, unless the iron rope is cut off, or every horse in the way is killed, so that the iron rope falls to the ground, otherwise it is not expected to take a step forward.
And row after row of teams are very easy to make the enemy feel tired, just imagine that it is not easy to break through a line of defense, and immediately usher in another, a row of more than ten or even dozens of lines of defense to break through, even if the iron man can't bear it, right?
"With this formation, Ran Min is resting." Seeing this scene in front of them, the battle-hardened Yan army generals thought at the same time. (To be continued.) )
