Chapter 460: You Want to Grab Credit Too?
There have been many battles in history in which the weak defeated the strong.
For example, Han Xin's battle of Yin and Jin, 30,000 destroyed 200,000 Zhao troops and captured the king of Zhao; Han Xin's 30,000 defeated 200,000 Qi troops and destroyed the Qi state; In the battle of Xiang Yu Julu, 20,000 defeated 400,000 Qin troops; In the battle of Xiang Yu Pengcheng, 30,000 against 560,000 Liu Confederation troops won a big victory. But these classic battles are the result of the enemy's loss of will to fight and a large number of surrenders.
There are also many classic battles with massive annihilation.
The battle of Yique in Baiqi, 120,000 slaughtered 240,000; In the Battle of Taiyuan, Li Guangbi fought 10,000 against an army of 100,000 and slaughtered 70,000; The battle of Zhang Xun Juyang, 7,000 battles against 130,000 troops, slaughtering 120,000.
Under these terrifying records, it is difficult to cover up a classic battle in which the all-round infantry suppressed the cavalry with a formation, Liu Yu's 'Moon Formation'. And the most classic battle of the 'Moon Array' is Liu Yu's battle of crossing the river. At that time, the ratio of troops was 3,000 to 100,000, Liu Yu defeated the 100,000 army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, killed 30,000 enemies, and Liu Yu suffered less than 1,000 casualties.
But the battle was not given much attention. Because of the lack of versatility on the battlefield, and Liu Yu used the navy in this battle, it was not counted in the number of troops, and there was a suspicion of exaggeration of troops. In particular, the moon array is very harsh on the battlefield, the types of troops, and even the ratio of troops, and war is often in the midst of change to find the enemy's weakness, where has always been the opponent's weakness can be caught? But the moon array also has a fatal weakness, being beaten can create miracles.
If the cavalry doesn't come to fight, the moon array can only become a battlefield spectacle.
In particular, there are many restrictions on the moon array, such as the need for a large number of chariots, the need for the battlefield to be an open field, once the enemy cavalry breaks through the Chinese army, it is easy to fall into a situation of being slaughtered.
Therefore, since the appearance of the Moon Array, it has been played twice in Liu Yu's hands. Unlike other battle formations, it has an enduring vitality. But the lethality of the Moon Array is amazing, but the weakness is also obvious.
But why is Gao Yu, a bastard in the army, also thunderous to the moon array?
The main reason is that the strong enemies faced by the Great Song Dynasty are all strong enemies that started with cavalry, and they are always beaten and aggrieved, Khitan and Western Xia, Wu Yang came to more than 50,000 cavalry at a time, but the Great Song Dynasty lacked the ability to equip cavalry on a large scale. can only hope that the moon array, which has infinite lethality to the cavalry, appears on the battlefield, but unfortunately, the Great Song Dynasty has been fighting for a hundred years, but the moon array has not been used on the battlefield once. It's not that the generals of the Great Song Dynasty didn't want to create miracles, but the battlefield didn't agree to the conditions needed by the Moon Array once.
And why did Li Kui choose the Moon Array?
Because he was not in a hurry, the party members were anxious to solve Li Kui's support army. This creates a good opportunity for the infantry to be beaten passively.
The Song army came to rescue Jin Mingzhai, not to annihilate the Western Xia army, and in the face of cavalry, Li Kui did not think of the idea of using 5,000 infantry to defeat the 50,000 Dangxiang army, which was too unrealistic.
But as soon as the war began, Li Kui saw a little sign.
The party seems to be in a hurry.
This is undoubtedly good news for Song Jun. The party members were in a hurry, so they explained that they would invest more troops at a time than at a time, which gave Li Kui infinite reverie, why not kill some more party cavalry?
It's actually very easy for the glaive array to change into a moon array.
The Chinese army broke forward, forming a semicircular salient.
Or retreat on both flanks, highlighting the Chinese army and exposing it to the enemy. Equipped with a large chariot formation that cannot be broken by cavalry, use bows and crossbows to kill and wound enemy cavalry. As long as the arrow tube is enough, the human head will fall to the ground and roll like a torrent.
Facing Gao Yu's excited hunger and thirst, Li Kui calmed down and nodded: "Now is an opportunity." ”
"it, Renjie, this opportunity to make a name for yourself is right in front of you, and you can't let it go of anything. But the moon array, you must use the moon array, the head of the party item killed, if you really destroy the army of 50,000 party items, even if the queen mother hates you again, you can only endure it. Gao Yu danced and said that he must not let go of the opportunity and want to do a big job.
Regarding Gao Yu's emotion of shouting on the battlefield at every turn, Hu Yanzhuo showed unworthy disdain: "But the Moon Array is very strong, Emperor Liu Wu is famous all over the world for the Moon Array, but he has only used the Moon Array twice in his life, and once it was just undefeated, only when he faced the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern Expedition, did the Moon Array become famous all over the world." But that was because Liu Yu successfully crossed the river, and the Northern Wei Dynasty had to storm Liu Yu, and finally let the Qiyue Array exert a powerful strangulation ability, which is difficult to see in a hundred years. Do you think ......"
Hu Yanzhuo has been learning battle formations since he was a child, and for classic battles, he will come when he opens his mouth. But as he spoke, he felt that something was wrong.
Hu Yanzhuo's reaction after realizing it seemed that the thoughts of the party and the Northern Wei army at that time were similar, and they both had the determination to quickly annihilate the Song army, indicating that the enemy general was very impatient. In addition, the Moon Array needs a large number of carts to assist, and these Song troops seem to have them. Battlefields with carts can give the infantry the greatest protection, but make it difficult for cavalry to overcome the barriers on these battlefields.
Thinking of this, Hu Yanzhuo lowered his head and cursed secretly: "Shit luck guy." ”
Then arrogantly said: "Count me not saying!" ”
As Hu Yanzhuo said, the conditions of the moon array are rare for a hundred years. But this once-in-a-century opportunity fell on Li Kui's head, how could Hu Yanzhuo be calm?
Gao Yu stared at Hu Yanzhuo's slightly depressed back, and said viciously: "You also have today!" Randomly turned his head and smiled at Li Kui and said: "Renjie, let's do a big job, and we will be famous all over the world!" ”
What can Li Kui say?
This plan was improvised by himself, but Gao Yu was more excited than him, the principal, so he could only let him go. However, the Moon Array has a top priority, the infantry relying on chariots needs to hold the Chinese defense line to the death, and cannot let the cavalry break through. Li Kui glanced at Gao Yu and pondered in his heart: "Is this a success?" ”
"Gao Yu, you also know that in this big battle, rescue is the main thing, and if you can annihilate the party cavalry, it will naturally be an unexpected joy. However, the moon formation is different from other battle formations, the focus is on infantry and spearmen, and it is necessary to send fierce generals and foot soldiers to hold on, and you can't take a step back in a dead battle. I thought ......" Li Kui said this, staring at Gao Yu deadly.
Gao Yu came back to his senses, he is a deputy general, and he is also the chief general of the infantry!
If he is put at the forefront, in case the party members are killed and he dies in the end, wouldn't the glory and wealth have nothing to do with him?
Then his eyes fell on his subordinate Feng Zhang, who was commanded by Gao Yu's foot soldiers, who seemed to be a little fiercer than Gao Yu, but when Gao Yu set his eyes on Hu Yanzhuo's back, it was not difficult to make a wise choice. Hu Yanzhuo's body is as thick as a mahjong tile, and after putting on the armor, it is like a black, hard and big stone pier.
Gao Yu made a choice in an instant, and shouted at Hu Yanzhuo's back: "General Hu Yan, your chance to become famous in the world has come!" ”
Hu Yanzhuo pulled Gao Yu in front of Li Kui, he was not afraid of Gao Yu, but he was a little afraid of Li Kui in his heart. The main thing is that this product is blacker and harder than him, which makes Hu Yanzhuo always worry that the life suppressed by Li Kui will be bleak.
Hu Yanzhuo secretly glanced at Li Kui, and then said to Gao Yu: "I can be the commander of the infantry of the Chinese army." ”
"It's not that you can command the footmen, but you need to give the soldiers enough encouragement. But you also know the disadvantages of the moon array, the foot soldier relies on the cart, so that the cavalry cannot be shaken, let him be stormy, and do not move like a mountain. Gao Yu thinks that Hu Yanzhuo's rhetoric has loopholes, but he is from a book history and plays word games, how can he have Hu Yanzhuo's share?
Hu Yanzhuo said viciously: "I want the first credit!" ”
In the face of such an unreasonable request, how could Gao Yu agree, and jumped to his feet angrily and said: "First merit, where did you put General Cheng?" ”
On the battlefield today, Cheng Zhijie is the commander of the Song Army, according to the rules of the army, unless the commander plays the style of Gao Feng Liangjie, saying that he does not need to make military exploits, this merit can fall to the heads of other generals. Besides, you Hu Yanzhuo is still Cheng Zhijie's subordinate, just thinking about robbing General Cheng of the credit, how big do you think you are?
Hu Yanzhuo woke up at this time, and seemed to have committed the following Meng Lang's actions, so he immediately changed his words and said: "That's good, I want to do the second work." ”
Li Kui found that Hu Yanzhuo was a little confused, and said to Ruan Xiaoer beside him: "Bring my Zhu Qishan Wenjia, wear the armor!" ”
Hu Yanzhuo trembled violently, only then did he find that there was still Li Kui on the battlefield, as long as Li Kui had something to make it difficult for Hu Yanzhuo, after the war, he used the identity of the prison army to write a war report, and Hu Yanzhuo did not obey the order, causing the prison army to interfere with the command of the foot soldiers, this guy is likely to be cleared out of the general's gate, lose his official position and go back to his hometown, and he may be in prison if he is lucky. I don't know the depths and don't know the rules. Hu Yanzhuo's newly raised arrogance suddenly extinguished into curling green smoke, and he looked like a little daughter-in-law with low eyebrows: "What about the three skills?" ”
Gao Yuxin said: "Where did the eyesight go? Just because you also want the three skills? Facing Hu Yanzhuo's recklessness, Gao Yu narrowed his eyes and said: "So-and-so is under the order of the Son of Heaven, and there is Hao Sui Hao's father-in-law behind him, you won't think about suppressing his old man, right?" ”
Hu Yanzhuo is just a conductor.
The deputy commander is not, and when Gao Yu eats meat at most, let him drink soup, which is already good.
This thing still wants the snake to swallow the elephant and snatch his credit, which makes Gao Yu bearable?
decisively refused, but Hu Yanzhuo was not Gao Yu's subordinate, and Gao Yu couldn't use his identity to force the other party. But don't forget, there is also Li Kui on the side, and he immediately threatened Hu Yanzhuo and said: "Our army is now deeply trapped in the enemy's army, and the war here is not conducive to our army, and the military situation cannot be delayed. You can take your own soldiers with you, and the officer will prepare horses for you. ”
Hu Yanzhuo wanted to scold his mother, but he was afraid that he couldn't scold Li Kui, a scoundrel with a reputation for being a jinshi, and his eyes were as angry as dragon's eyes, but he was helpless.
Looking back at the vast number of party cavalry on the battlefield, it is definitely a dead end when they go out of battle. Hu Yanzhuo finally recognized the reality, knelt down on one knee and said to Li Kui: "The last general will wait for the dispatch of the prison army!" ”
Li Kui pressed Hu Yanzhuo's shoulder with concern and said with relief: "It is a great fortune for the country that I have such a loyal person as General Hu Yan in the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
Hu Yanzhuo, who turned his head, cursed vigorously in his heart: "Civil and military collusion, embarrassment, dog official!" ”
