Chapter 64 Zheng He's ability to command troops
"Hmph, how can the little fence stop us from riding in the wind?
After a moment's pause, a gale-cavalry commander waved his hand. Immediately, more than a dozen Gale generals who looked like captains jumped up from their horses, brandished their blades in their hands, and slashed straight at the fences on both sides that were blocking the Gale cavalry. If you want to solve the battle in a short time, you can only send your own master to clear the obstacles in front of you with the momentum of thunder, so as to give full play to the charging advantage of the gale cavalry and sweep the opponent in one fell swoop.
However, how could Feng Yi and others, who had been prepared for this, allow their opponents to succeed so easily?
"Break the city crossbow ready, shoot!"
At the same time as more than a dozen gale masters flew up and jumped up, Zheng He waved the order flag in his hand at the two small phalanxes stationed behind the fences on both sides without hesitation.
"Collapse Collapse ......"
With a huge buzzing sound, hundreds of giant blackiron crossbow arrows the thickness of adult thighs burst out, accurately passing through the gap in the fence and whistling towards the more than a dozen gale masters. The power contained in each crossbow arrow is equivalent to the full force of an ordinary acquired martial artist, and the huge power brings a terrifying sound of breaking the air.
"Not good!"
Seeing this situation, the faces of the more than ten gale masters changed, where did they care about destroying the opponent's protective fence? Hurriedly forcibly retracted, waving the blade in his hand to block.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang ......"
After a series of sparks splashed into the crash, more than a dozen Gale masters retreated in embarrassment at a faster speed than when they went, each with a little horror on their faces, and several Gale masters who were a little weaker were even so shocked that they spat blood and turned pale because they had continuously connected more than a dozen city-breaking crossbows.
"Damn!"
The first attack failed, and the face of the Gale Commander suddenly became a little ugly. I thought that after the withdrawal of the Qin army's large troops, high-grade war materials such as the city-breaking crossbow should be taken away, after all, the value of this thing is not small, each crossbow arrow alone costs at least 100 taels of gold, and a crossbow body is as high as 10,000 taels of gold, and the entire Bishan military camp is equipped with more than 10,000 in total. Who would have thought that with such valuable war materials, the Qin army actually left so much for a broken "cannon fodder" army, which was simply a great waste and completely unexpected to him.
"Brother Liang, the other party's wings are covered by city-breaking crossbows, and it is really unwise to attack strongly, in my opinion, it is better to slowly draw them, first slowly consume their city-breaking crossbow arrows, and then break them in one fell swoop. At this time, another cavalry commander who was traveling with him said in a deep voice.
"Brother Luo's method is good, but the problem is that Lord Dutong's military order is to order us to solve the battle within a stick of incense, if it is slowly figured, I'm afraid the time will be too late, so let's do it, you and I will act separately, Brother Luo, you lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to contain and consume the city-breaking crossbows on the other side's wings, so that they have no time to take care of other things, and I will lead the remaining soldiers and horses to take turns to attack the opponent's main gate, once the opponent's Chinese army is scattered, our army can drive straight in, so, the battle is decided!" said the commander surnamed Liang loudly.
"Is this ......" Hearing this, the commander surnamed Luo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Well, if you want to solve the battle within the time limit set by Lord Dutong, you can only do that!" If there is no time limit, with their strength of 100,000 iron cavalry, there are many ways to level the opponent's only one commander phalanx, but to complete the task in a stick of incense, except for the method that the commander surnamed Luo said, for a while, he really can't think of any better tactics.
Thundered......
The horses' hooves sounded, and soon, the 100,000 gale-iron horsemen were divided into two groups. A group of 20,000 people was commanded by the surname Luo, and they were 300 zhang away from the fence on both wings of the Qin army's camp, lined up. This distance can effectively avoid the maximum damage of the city-breaking crossbow, and it can also be used to charge at any time in a very short time. The other group of 80,000 people were still in place, staring at the main gate of the Qin army's camp, just waiting for the commander surnamed Liang to give an order, and then they would directly attack.
At the same time, all the soldiers on the rebel side were also holding the blades in their hands tightly, and everyone's faces were filled with solemn and nervous colors.
The big war is about to break out.
"Kill!"
The next moment, with the order of the commander surnamed Liang, five thousand gale cavalry rushed towards the main gate of the camp like wolves. The camp gate is narrow, no matter how many soldiers and horses rush up, it will not be able to open, but will mess up its own formation, it is just right to send 5,000 cavalry to charge, although the opponent is stationed at the main gate of nearly 30,000 men and horses, but he believes that with the unparalleled impact of the gale-winded iron cavalry, the opponent's formation can be completely disrupted. At the same time, the remaining tens of thousands of Gale Iron Cavalry are also ready to charge at any time, as long as the wave of cavalry in front of them will disperse the opponent's Chinese army formation, the army will not hesitate to follow the trend and strangle the opponent's team headquarters in one fell swoop.
"Military Skill - Inspire!"
As soon as the gale cavalry moved, Feng Rebellion did not hesitate at all, and directly launched an "encouragement". In an instant, all the Great Qin soldiers only felt a shock in their spirits, and the trace of tension and fear that was originally hidden in their hearts instantly dissipated, and was replaced by an indelible raging fighting intent.
"The Chinese army obeys the order, full moon array!"
Almost at the same time, just as this wave of gale cavalry was about to rush into the gate, the command flag in Zheng He's hand was also waved heavily. After receiving the order, more than 10,000 men and horses in the front half of the Chinese army immediately formed a huge formation in the shape of a millstone, while at the same time, more than 10,000 sergeants in the second half quickly retreated and stood by randomly.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The gale cavalry was menacing, Zheng He stood in the center of the grinding plate, and with a wave of the flag, a dense array of bows and arrows shot out.
After a rain of arrows, hundreds of gale cavalry fell to the ground with arrows.
"Points!"
Immediately after, under the command of Zheng He, the array of the army suddenly divided, revealing hundreds of passages, and in an instant, the remaining Gale cavalry rushed into these millstones like beans that slipped into the eye of the millstone, and disappeared directly.
"Kill!"
Zheng He waved down another command flag, and the entire large array was suddenly murderous, and countless flags turned. In the blink of an eye, only a burst of screams could be heard, and the thousands of gale cavalry who rushed into the formation were completely defeated in less than a few dozen breaths, and less than a few hundred people fled in embarrassment. On the other hand, Daqin's side only lost more than 100 people.
"How is that possible?"
Seeing this scene, the commander surnamed Liang was directly stunned, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe the facts in front of him. The invincible Gale Iron Rider was so simply tortured and killed like a straw, yes, torture and killing, this is completely a one-sided torture, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he didn't want to believe that the other party could easily torture and kill the five thousand Gale Iron Riders without the power to resist just a few times.
"What a powerful command technique, I was careless!"
In the end, it is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, after a short period of shock, the commander surnamed Liang quickly recovered, and immediately, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, take five thousand people as a wave, and adopt wave tactics!"
The so-called wave tactic is to divide the troops into several waves and attack the opponent in succession, and once it is launched, it is as continuous and endless as the waves of the sea. This tactic is only suitable for more strikes and fewer shots, and there is not much technical content to speak of, and it is all about winning by numbers. The commander surnamed Liang knew that his command skills were not as good as the leading generals of the other side, and the only advantage was that the troops were sufficient, so he simply concentrated his strength advantage and forcibly broke the opponent.
This is the most practical tactic for dealing with an opponent who is proficient in tactics but has few troops.
Thundered......
The earth shook, and the 20,000 gale cavalry divided into four waves and rushed towards the main gate of the camp again.
Sensing the change in the gale-laden cavalry on the opposite side, Zheng He's reaction was also very fast, and he immediately waved the command flag to change the formation.
"Arrows!"
Dealing with waves with arrows can unload the impact to both sides, while the gale-cavalry will be hit by the powerful impact of the arrow array. However, using this kind of formation to fight against waves will not last long, after all, there are too many enemy soldiers and horses, and after a long time, the sharp arrows will also be worn out by the endless waves. Of course, then again, Zheng He never had the idea of a protracted war with the other party, he had only one purpose, to hold on for an hour. If the current situation continues, it does not seem that this goal will not be achieved.
A wave of confrontation down,
The Gale Cavalry lost a lot again, and the brows of the commander surnamed Liang also wrinkled even deeper. Seeing that most of the time has passed, but he has not even broken through the opponent's camp gate, at this time, he finally couldn't sit still anymore, and waved his big hand: "Transfer three more waves of people, in addition, send ten more acquired masters to disguise themselves as ordinary soldiers, and be sure to get rid of the opponent's main general for me!"
The opponent's commander's ability to command troops is so strong that he has completely given up the idea of fighting tactics with the opponent. Judging from the current situation, it is basically impossible to break the opponent's troops by normal means in the remaining half of the pillar of incense, only the sword will go sideways and kill it in one fell swoop by decapitation, so that the remaining Qin army will naturally collapse without a fight under the leaderless dragons.
I have to say that the strategy of this commander surnamed Liang is still very correct, and in the current situation, only by doing so can he defeat the opposing troops within the time limit set by Li Zhengde, the commander of the Gale Capital. It's a pity, I'm afraid he never thought that it was not the supreme general of the Qin army on the opposite side who commanded this battle, and the real commander of the Qin army on the other side was sharpening his sword at this time, waiting for the group of beheading troops he sent to throw themselves into the net......
