Chapter 164 is messed up
I have to say that the courage of the Yugoslav army is commendable.
Later generations of British troops evaluated the Qing army, and the ability of guns to shoot was actually not bad. But the courage to fight in the white is lacking.
Before there were no machine guns, there was actually a limit to the firepower of the platoon guns. There is no shortage of successful cases of cavalry or infantry assault. The only downside is that there are a lot of dead people.
People are sometimes conformists.
In front of the Northern Army, the front and rear fell one after another, and more than 1,000 people were killed almost instantly.
It seems that the pervasive smoke of gunpowder gave the Southern Army courage, because in the pervasive gunsmoke, the visibility is low, and the range of vision is very small, so it is not known how other people are killed or injured.
Or it's urgent. These people already have the determination to die.
So, after a burst of grenades opened the way, a group of southern troops finally rushed into the infantry formation of the northern army, and the three rows of arrays were even more in the fire, some people died, and there were some gaps. Facing the surging crowds. It was breached almost instantly.
The rolling tide rushed towards the second column of steps.
Wu Li's face was extremely serious for a moment. He secretly said in his heart, "It's so ruthless."
At the same time, I admire it very much.
To use a soldier is to be ruthless.
Just that round of charge regardless of life and death. Wu Li estimated that at least five or six thousand people were killed on the spot. No less than this number of people were injured. Directly broke through a guard position of the Northern Army. After one place is breached, the same column and other places cannot be maintained, and it is necessary to retreat immediately.
The second line needs to be topped up immediately. Such redeployments also take time.
I am afraid that the losses to the northern army are not a lot.
If it is a simple math problem, it is not necessarily a good deal.
After all, there are thousands of lives, fighting for the initiative in the battle. However, the battlefield is an art, because the battlefield is a time to test human nature, and every chip on the battlefield is a living person. Living people have their own ideas. You send them to die, and they die.
Consideration must be given to the upper limit of each person's affordability. There are those who are brave and upright, and they can accomplish even if they are given a mission to die. Others, however, gave them mortal tasks, and they turned around and rebelled.
It is naturally cost-effective to exchange thousands of people for the tactical initiative. But let thousands of people die willingly, Wu Li doesn't think he can do this.
In fact, Wu Li misjudged.
It was not Sheng Yong who really made these people die willingly. It's not even Fu Youde, but the military soul of the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, the Hongwu generation, winning a hundred battles, and almost no defeats. After He Xi came, it was the South and the East in the south. It can be said that the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is no less than the Han and Tang Dynasties.
And many of Fu Youde's troops are Jingying.
What is Jingying? It is at the foot of Nanjing, the Son of Heaven is pro-army.
What was Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment of Nanjing?
For more than 20 years, Hongwu has hardly ever collected taxes. It was to supplement the military rations that Zhu Yuanzhang had collected from nearby prefectures and counties in Nanjing during the war after he entered Nanjing.
Zhu Yuanzhang regarded Nanjing as a foundation.
And many people in Beijing are not from Nanjing. The most are the two Huai people. But they were all placed in the vicinity of Nanjing, and most of their children and grandchildren were from Nanjing. They also have the benefits that Nanjing people receive.
If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't been treated favorably for so many years, he would have been forced like this by his boss, and he would have been a fool.
Even Sheng Yong didn't expect that the war would be like this.
However, he could not live up to the sacrifices of the soldiers who died in battle, and immediately ordered the whole army to storm the northern army.
Especially in the face of the retreat of the first front of the Northern Army, this is a great opportunity.
For a time, the war entered a white-hot stage.
On the battle lines of the two sides, there were those who fought each other in close quarters and those who fired at each other. And the artillery roared. The mile-long front was divided into several small battlefields. Fighting on their own.
Wu Li rode on a horse, biting a piece of grass. I bite hard and bite the turquoise juice into my mouth, which makes people feel very bitter.
Wu Li did not have the slightest gap.
A moment later, Wu Li
I sprayed the weeds out of my mouth. Immediately ordered, a series of adjustments were made.
First, decentralize command.
In the past, Wu Li did not actually conduct specific commands, he only put forward a principle. But the situation encountered by all the departments before was the same, and Wu Li still had room for command. But now it's a mess. Wu Li was just a principle, so that the ministries should be as disengaged as possible from the Southern Army.
Wu Li actually knows that this is difficult.
After all, it took so many lives for the Southern Army to rush up, how could it be easily let go. Not to mention, Wu Li also saw it. This impact will also have both advantages and disadvantages for the Yugoslav army.
The advantage, of course, is to pull the fight into their familiar melee melee white-knuckle combat. Beneficial to the Yugoslav Army. You must know that the army of the South is more than twice that of the Army of the North. And in the melee, the foundation of the two sides is about the same, and one to one is the most likely exchange ratio.
This is not good for the Northern Army.
The drawbacks are also obvious.
One is angry, two is declining, and three is exhausted.
This time if it fails. It is impossible for the Yugoslavs to have the courage to carry out a second such offensive.
This war may end early, or it may enter a garbage time that delays each other.
The victory and defeat are at this time.
To get through it is to win. If you can't get through, you're defeated.
However, Wu Li didn't think about it, just pinning his hopes on them. Wu Li called the cavalry commander over and said, "Do the cavalry dare to fight?"
At this time, who dares to say that they dare not fight.
Naturally, it is a dare to fight.
Wu Li drew an arc in front of the formation and said, "Starting from the left side and attacking the front of the formation, can you do it?"
This sortie route is very exquisite.
Wu Li found a problem, when these southern armies attacked the northern army's front, they lost their front, and they were almost in groups of three or five. Three, three, two, two. The reason for this is that, on the one hand, under the intensive firepower, many people have been killed, so there is such a gap. On the other hand, because it was spontaneous by the soldiers, it was not organized.
But at the same time, this kind of skirmisher attack is easy to succeed.
After all, a dense fire with a firearm is lethal. Shooting at a person, many times it is easy to miss.
And as long as one person rushed into the array, it affected the frequency of several nearby shots. Even if this person dies quickly, the people behind will be able to rush in during the period when the fire is extinguished.
But there was a problem with such a formation, that is, it was impossible to face the cavalry onslaught.
In other words, whether it is the Southern Army that is fighting with the Northern Army, or the Southern Army that is attacking the Northern Army's formation. As long as it is hit by the cavalry flank, it is like killing like mowing grass.
However, Wu Li did not expect this cavalry attack to have any effect.
Without him, the opposing cavalry has the upper hand. As soon as his cavalry comes out, the cavalry of the Southern Army will definitely come to stop him. Therefore, the role of this cavalry is already a decoy.
After Wu Li sent the cavalry down.
Reserves were immediately called.
The reserve numbered 20,000 men.
Shenyang Sanwei and Dingliaowei.
That is, the core and main force of the Liaodong Army.
It's the old number of He Xi's team. The family background of the Ye father and son, the ace and general reserve of the Liaodong Army.
Wu Li said, "After the cavalry attacked, your task was to make a roundabout way from the left side. An attack was launched on the southern army from the flank, and all artillery remained. You can only bring a tiger squat cannon. Can it be done?"
Four guards and 20,000. From the left, outflank the southern side. This is not an easy task.
First of all, you have to face the opponent's cavalry, even if your own cavalry has pinned down part of the opponent's cavalry. But there are still plenty of cavalry that could charge them.
This will test the ability of these guards to resist the onslaught of cavalry. Then the flanks maneuvered. It also tests their ability to act. Although Wu Li didn't say it, they all knew very well that the situation in front of them was naturally as fast as possible.
Once the whole army is involved in the melee. To the soldiers
Very disadvantageous.
And Wu Li did this, which was to seize the time when it was inconvenient to deal with the turnaround, and attack from the flank, after all, the southern army that was in chaos, under the supervision team, could only advance, and it was difficult to do the whole team in the face of the flank attacking army.
Only by seizing this opportunity, whether it is to inflict heavy damage on the opponent or to force the opponent to retreat, can the battle be ended victoriously.
However, Ma Xiao, the general of the Shenyang Central Guard, commanded: "The last general will obey the order."
Immediately, Wu Li temporarily appointed Ma Xiao to lead the four guards and set off immediately.
