Chapter 151: Water Meter

Su Mengzhen was in the wind, his clothes were fluttering, and he had a kind of attitude that was out of the dust.

"Guang'er, take a closer look at the enemy's formation. ”

The formation of the coalition army, with light infantry in the middle, heavy infantry on both sides, and a small number of knights on the outermost side, formed a glaive formation.

At first, the surface of the moon was convex outward, but now it is squeezed by the center of the Shindo Army and becomes concave.

"Our army has the upper hand, what's the problem?" asked Su Guang.

Su Mengzhen said lightly: "This glaive formation is better than a bow formation. ”

"The formation is like a string, fixed on both sides, and the center can fluctuate, and we force the enemy's seemingly thick Chinese army to retreat, but the enemy army has not been broken in the slightest. On the contrary, because our army was attacking too quickly, the formation became too dense. ”

"Once our army is too deep and the lateral distance is shortened, the cavalry on both sides will outflank back, and the heavy infantry at both ends of the enemy's array will also strike at our flanks with all their might, and our army will be too deep to retreat......"

Hearing this, Su Guang couldn't help but gasp: "Hundred-foot Sword Tower...... Just bait?"

Su Mengzhen said: "So to speak. The enemy's plan is that if the hundred-foot sword tower can defeat our army, it will naturally be a hundred, and if not, it will use this as a bait to lure our army into a trap and outflank it......"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were shocked.

I didn't expect the enemy to have such a deep calculation, and when the forces were not superior, he planned to make dumplings for them.

But Su Guang immediately thought of a key point: "This arrangement requires extremely subtle tactical command from the squad commanders, especially the cavalry on both flanks. Although Shenxiao has many famous generals, but after the commotion in Jing Yigu, Jing Zhisheng has lost the trust of Long Aotian, and this battle was left in Nanjun, nominally to guard against the Qingcheng faction, but in fact ......"

Su Mengzhen sneered: "Jing Zhisheng killed his own clansmen, which is enough to serve as a vote. How could he not hide among the enemy horsemen? Staying in Gangneung City was just a stand-in......"

"What's more, among the enemy cavalry on both flanks, there seems to be the remnants of the Three Rivers Blood Killing Camp......"

Hearing this, Lin Xiuzhen hurriedly praised: "The hall master's eyes are like torches!"

Although it is a sycophant, all the generals are concerned.

Su Mengzhen's vision and analytical ability are indeed wonderful.

Even after the last battle of Burning Bean, the number of elite cavalry of the Shenxiao Army was still far superior to that of Shentang, so it was possible to carry out such an arrangement, which could be attacked and defended.

If it weren't for Su Mengzhen's seeing through the enemy's arrangement, I am afraid that this battle would have peaked and fallen, and when everyone was elated and thought that they were about to win, they would fall into the abyss of defeat.

"May I ask my father, in that case, how should I deal with it?" asked Su Guang.

His words are very clear, and his face is calm, with a mature and steady taste.

Su Mengzhen's eyes burned: "Disperse the Chinese army and melt into the two wings." ”

looked at Bai Junlang and said, "Ah Guang, the east side is handed over to you." ”

At the sound of an order, the Chinese army was like a wave splitting and scattering towards the two wings!

Now the Shentang Army has become a separate array of two long snakes, sandwiching the two sides of the coalition army, but the middle is an empty door.

The formation in the west was personally commanded by Su Mengzhen, while the formation in the east was commanded by Bai Junlang.

However, both formations are backed by mountain cliffs, and the empty gate in the middle is a valley. Although there was an empty door, the enemy did not dare to attack in that direction, because the previous battle of Burning Beanzaka had already cast a deep psychological shadow on the coalition forces.

If you are squeezed into the valley by the temple army, the result will be devastating.

The formation of the long snake, there is such a saying in the book of war: the reckless, the snake of the mountain also, hit its head and tail, hit its tail is the first to, hit the middle of the head and tail.

However, in practice, the long snake formation is generally only used for marching, and the reason for this is that the formation is too thin and long, lacking depth, and often has been chiseled through by the enemy before it has time to flank the enemy.

However, now that Su Mengzhen ordered the army to fight with their backs against the mountain cliff and divided into two columns of long snake formations to act together, they completely made up for the disadvantages of the long snake formation and made the formation invulnerable.

The formation on both sides relied on the mountains, like a pendulum, to press the two wings of the enemy!

Wu Feng took the troops under his command and followed Su Mengzhen to the west.

Now the battle situation is in his favor, and Su Mengzhen still has a future.

But he frowned faintly, showing a worried look.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what happens.

Wu Feng looked at a follower behind him: "Chongxiao, how are those things you arranged?"

Wang Chongxiao was Wu Feng's right-hand man on the grassland, and this time he escorted supplies from the Caohai Wufeng base on the grassland, so he stayed to participate in this battle.

"My lord, my mother. ”

Wang Chongxiao's skin is extremely fair, but it is not smooth, similar to a fair-skinned person in the West Pole, with a granite-like rough feeling. He is extremely tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is described as heroic.

He patted his chest and said categorically: "Foolproof, don't worry." ”

Xue Xiyan smiled leisurely: "That's good, this victory will definitely reward you heavily." ”

Wu Feng also patted Wang Chongxiao's shoulder and encouraged: "Work hard!"

Finding that a large number of enemies were coming from both wings, the Shenxiao Army panicked to a certain extent.

The Shrine Army's vanguard was mostly Hook Sickle and Spear Spearmen who were skilled in fighting cavalry, and their mission was to crush the elite cavalry on the edge of the coalition formation, and then destroy the entire array.

But Zen Master Xuezhai is also a master of formation.

The flag was brightened, the flying cavalry was transmitted, and the formation of the coalition army began to change, the mid-belly contracted, and the wings widened.

The heavy infantry moved to the flanks, forming small hollow phalanxes at a certain distance from each other, which not only expanded the area against the enemy, but also could support each other.

The archers were not placed behind the infantry, but inside the hollow phalanx, and were mixed with iron gunners to cover the battle of the infantry with strong firepower.

The cavalry retreated slightly, using their great mobility to move between the formations.

They all carried longbows and fired arrows from a distance, and fought with spears when they were engaged. Although the cavalry of the Central Plains was not good at riding and shooting, it was better than nothing.

This is a tactic of defending and not attacking, and it works wonders against the onslaught of infantry and cavalry.

The Shenxiao army on both wings are all elite, and there are not many of them, but they will not be able to break through for a while.

The heavenly wind swept with the breath of killing.

The earth, nourished and fed by blood.

Between shouts and shouts, the soldiers fell in pools of blood, and someone else filled the vacant seats.

Some people still have fear on their faces, but gradually, they become more and more numb.

The two armies maintained a situation of advancing and retreating, and time passed between life and death.

The sun shifts to the west, and the shadow of the sun moves eastward.

The soldiers were physically strong, but they were also difficult to kill. On the premise that the positions of both sides have not collapsed, they can play for a long time.

"It seems to be a long battle, Father. Su Guang said to Su Mengzhen: "The enemy's position is very stable, and he is not in a hurry to end the battle. ”

For new recruits, every moment of war is an increase in their torment.

However, those who can stand on the battlefield of such a crucial decisive battle will basically not have recruits who have no experience in war at all.

Those who can become soldiers have generally experienced the battlefield.

The passage of time can make their heartstrings tense, but if they are extremely tight, they will only numb and not collapse.

They have seen a lot of death and blood.

"Yes. Su Mengzhen dusted off his sleeves and said casually.

He raised his head and looked to the horizon.

"It's time to launch. ”

Su Guang was taken aback, and also looked at the distant sky.

I heard a loud bang, and a wall of water was like a galloping horse, surging from afar!

Su Guang couldn't help but change color.

"Father...... Is it a water attack? But now it's fighting......"

What he meant was that if the levee was broken and the enemy army was flooded, it would only drown your own troops.

"Just look at it. It's time to draw an end to this battle. ”

Su Guang suddenly realized that in this kind of plain terrain, water attacks could not drown people at all.

What's more, it's early spring again, and the water level is not high.

So what is Su Mengzhen's idea?
