Chapter 579 Drum and Drum Flag Dance

Listening to Lian Po's words, Xin Lingjun naturally reacted quickly. This is not an empirical statement of war, but an exposition of human nature.

Not hitting the south wall and not looking back has never been a common problem among young people, in fact, almost everyone does.

Using someone else's lesson to avoid repeating one's own mistakes is always nonsense. If you don't realize it yourself, it's useless to let others say it, and only when you realize it yourself can you really apply it to practice.

The coalition army is not a strict organization in the first place. Half-heartedness is the norm, and separate plans are the normal phenomenon.

Under such circumstances, forcibly stopping and not allowing the army to attack the Qin army, maybe he will not react to the majesty of Xinling Jun for a while, but leave a "small regret."

But it was inevitable. And in the days that followed, this

"Little regrets" will ferment quickly, especially when the war is not going well, this

"Little regrets" will become

It is not impossible that the "big mistake" will even lead directly to the disintegration of the coalition forces. On the contrary, if the offensive is continued at this time, so that the armies can see the true combat power of the Qin army, there will naturally be no follow-up

"Regretful" things. Although there may be some damage, as long as you are prepared, you can also stop the loss in time.

It's like licking the iron railing in the big winter in the north, you tell you to do it if you can't do it, it's better to let this little kid feel it personally while you can rescue it in time while you're around.

Xin Lingjun, who understood this, immediately replied: "What General Lian Po said is reasonable. Immediately summoned the heralds, and Xin Lingjun officially ordered: "The herald orders the front army to be suspended, the middle army and the rear army to accelerate their advance, and after the three armies gather, they will slowly move forward and engage the Qin army and the outside of Luodu City." ”

"Yes." The herald did not dare to delay, and immediately agreed. Soon, one after another orders were quickly transmitted to all parts of the coalition army, and then the rear of the coalition army and the South Korean army accelerated in unison.

Obviously, today's coalition forces are still forbidden. In just a quarter of an hour, the generals of the four countries gathered together again.

"Xinlingjun, how to fight, you give the order." The general of the state of Chu asked a little impatiently.

Xin Lingjun nodded, and then said: "I have discussed with General Lian Po, today's battle is the first battle with Qin, and all departments should fight with one to know their combat strength." However, all countries need to come up with elite troops to reduce the spirit of the Qin army and not to demoralize our army. ”

"Understood." Several generals immediately agreed.

"It's laid out like this." Xin Lingjun then continued: "The front army is 90,000 horses, the middle army is 140,000 troops, and the rear army is 30,000 troops. Among the front army, 20,000 troops of Han and Chu and 30,000 troops of Wei were formed, with Wei as the center, three infantry phalanxes were formed to respond to the enemy, and 20,000 cavalry of Zhao were divided into the left and right sides of the army, so as to achieve the effect of shooting left on the right and right on the left. The formations of the middle army and the rear army are so on. "It should be said that Xinlingjun's arrangement stands out as one

"All beings are equal". Han and Chu have few soldiers, and the number of troops invested in the front line has also decreased correspondingly, and Zhao has an army of 80,000, which is almost twice as large as the current Chu army, so although there are only 20,000 troops invested, there are 20,000 cavalry.

The reason for the arrangement on the sides is very simple, first, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and on the sides there is more room for maneuvering and sprinting, which can maximize the speed advantage of the cavalry; Second, Xin Lingjun himself said that he wanted to achieve it

The effect of "right shot left, left shot right". The so-called right shoots left and left shoots right, in fact, it is very simple, that is, the cavalry on the right shoots arrows to the left, and the cavalry on the left shoots arrows to the right.

Don't underestimate this simple change. On the battlefield, such mutual fire can give the enemy maximum damage.

It's very simple, if it's just a frontal archery, even if the density is large, a good shield is enough to offset most of it, but if it is

"Shoot left from the right and shoot right from the left", then the enemy must not only defend against the archers in the front, but also defend against the cavalry arrows on the left and right, which is naturally impossible.

Just from this short sentence, it is not difficult to see that since the Battle of Changping, Xinlingjun thinks that he has made some ruthless efforts in the military.

As for the Wei State's many soldiers and horses, it naturally invested more troops, and was also responsible for the attack in the central position.

This position is not so simple as a change of position, and the reason is very simple, this is the best and shortest distance to directly capture the commander of the opposing army, and both sides will invest the most elite troops here.

On the other hand, because the battle was so grand, the battlefield stretched for miles, and in the center of the battlefield, it was also the most difficult place to get cavalry support.

Therefore, this position is obviously the position that most tests the combat strength of the soldiers. In addition to Zhao Jun, Xin Lingjun didn't dare to hand it over to other troops at all, after all, he was still very concerned about his own life.

And Zhao Guo has already moved out such a killing weapon as cavalry, and it is really unreasonable to let the family take the lead in the central position.

Therefore, without any suspense, this most critical position in the first battle can and must be held by the Wei army under Xinling Jun.

"What do you think?" Xin Lingjun then asked. Listening to Xinlingjun's arrangement, Lian Po had already discussed it, so naturally he would not have any opinions, Han and Chu were already supporting roles, so naturally they would not have any opinions?

Thus, the layout of the coalition forces can be considered finalized. Immediately, the generals scattered and moved their troops away, but with the help of tea, a new formation had been adjusted, and then the 260,000 troops used a new formation to kill the Qin army in the distance.

The adjustment of the formation here naturally did not raise the eyes of the Qin army scouts. Soon, one by one, the fast horses passed the news of the coalition army's change of formation to the Qin army that had already lined up in formation.

"It's good to come." After listening to the scout's report, Wang Yi was also determined in his heart, what he was worried about was not how the coalition army would change formation, but what he was most afraid of was that the coalition army would stop and camp on the spot, and the entire Qin army would fall into a very embarrassing situation.

Continue to advance and attack the camp of the coalition forces, you have just finished a tragic offensive and defensive battle, and then take the initiative to attack the village, and the loss will be not small; But let's retire from the army, whether it is for morale or for the generals under his command, it is not easy to explain.

Now that the coalition forces still want to fight with themselves, this is of course the result that Wang Yi hopes for the most.

Of course, Wang Yi did not underestimate the coalition army because of this.

Although Wang Yi had never heard of the words "strategically despise the enemy and attach importance to the enemy tactically", he had already learned the essence of it after a hundred battles.

Immediately, he ordered the herald to carefully describe the deployment of the coalition army. After thinking about the layout of the coalition army for a while, it was mediocre, almost a copy of his own arrangement.

The front army placed enough troops to build an unbreakable front, the Chinese army hoarded a large number of troops to reinforce the front army at any time, and the rear army placed a small number of troops to prevent being caught off guard by the rear and protect its own grain and grass ordnance.

As for the layout of the former army, it was almost identical. In the center of the three infantry formations, two cavalry guards the two wings respectively, linking the front army and the middle army.

Except for the difference in the number of troops deployed due to the difference in total strength, the deployment of the two armies is almost identical.

In this case, it is actually the will quality of the soldiers on both sides who are fighting hard, and whoever can better defeat the threat of death and occupy the position will be able to win the final victory.

"Match with the right and win with the odd" is also said in this way. In other words, it is easier to understand: whoever can hold on for the last five minutes will be the winner.

In fact, such battles are the norm in the era of cold weapons.

"Report ......"

"The enemy's main force is less than five miles from here."

"Report: The enemy's main force is less than three miles away from here." ...... reported again and again, and informed the Qin army of the march of the coalition army one by one.

As the distance continued to close, the phalanxes of the Qin army slowly became unusually quiet, and even their breathing seemed to become cautious.

In the phalanx, the face of the Qin soldier was still resolute, and his determined eyes were looking ahead, as if he was expecting the enemy to arrive soon.

At the same time, the hearts of almost all the Qin soldiers were gradually igniting flames, either silently calculating the number of people they needed to rise to the next title, or silently reciting the essentials of the halberd passed down by the captain.

Yes, in the past five years, although the national strength of the Qin army has gradually recovered, the veterans who died in Changping cannot be resurrected.

Although more recruits have entered the barracks, the gap between the combat effectiveness of these recruits and the veterans is also obvious.

However, Wang Yi still has confidence, which has been verified in the process of attacking Zhou Wangji: as long as he goes through a few more tests of blood and fire, the recruits will soon grow into experienced veterans.

Well, those that have not grown have naturally been eliminated. Moreover, Zhou Wangji's battle can be regarded as a rehearsal for the recruits that is not too nervous.

"Report: The main force of the enemy is less than a mile away from here." Another scout report resounded in the Chinese army.

"Order: Beat the drums, blow the horns, and fight with all the arms!" Wang Yi did not hesitate, and immediately gave an order to the heralds beside him.

"Yes." The herald immediately agreed. Immediately, in the middle of the Chinese army, under the sunset, Daxu danced in the wind.

The whimpering horn sounded with the exhilarating drums of war, and the most passionate sound was roaring! It's been five years!

The war drums of the Qin army are finally beating on this land again!
