Chapter 230: Too Stupid
After staying up all night, in the early hours of the morning, the sky was just white, and suddenly there was a thunder in the north.
Yet not a single cloud could be seen.
"It's the sound of cannonball." Yang Dong said in a deep voice.
This means that Qi Yuanbai and the others began to attack the Jingtai area!
The Gaochang royal department will definitely receive the news, and in order to rescue the Jingtai area, it will definitely launch a fierce attack on the mouth of Heishui Mountain.
Qi Yuanbai said that it would only take half a day to capture the Jingtai area, and Li Huai expected it to be one day.
It doesn't matter if it's a day or half a day.
The mouth of Heishui Mountain must not be lost!
Even after the Jingtai area is taken.
They were to hold out until reinforcements arrived, until King Chun Yuyue of Gaochang was willing to accept negotiations.
Li Huai stood on the hillside, took out his binoculars and glanced at Wang Gaochang's royal camp, the smoke and dust were filled, and the formation was scattering.
However, the banner of the attack has changed, and it is not Tu Nao who is the first attacker, I don't know why they want to change people, Tu Nao's department obviously still has combat effectiveness.
But it should be good news for them.
The pressure brought by Tu Nao was too great.
The Gaochang royal army was not in a hurry to attack, as if they were waiting for the formation to fully unfold.
It is divided into three parts.
The first part, which is responsible for the attack on the main road, has about nearly 10,000 cavalry, which is intended to be taken in one fell swoop.
The second part, which was responsible for the attack on the eastern position, also had about 6,000 men, which was supposed to contain the artillery group on the eastern side and cover the main attacking force on the main road.
In the third part, the sides are lined up to the east to prevent the harassment of the rangers west of the river.
As for the direction of Heishui Mountain, it seems that no people have been sent, but they cannot relax their vigilance to prevent the enemy from making a sneak attack.
"It's a pretty good formation." Li Huai had to praise, one by one, it was too visually impactful.
"There is no order in war, and the order that can be seen clearly is even more useless." Yang Dong commented lightly.
Li Huai put down the binoculars and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
"They understood at a glance this time that they just wanted to take it in one wave, and there were so many people squeezed in front, and there was no way to evacuate the troops, so what would it look like later." Yang Dong was speechless.
The soldiers of the Western Regions are really good, they have super high combat qualities, but their commanders are like fools.
It is simply impossible to command such a large-scale corps operation.
If it was on the Great Wall, such a commander would have been kicked back to Luoyang by Yang Lingyun a long time ago, so he would have just retired and forgotten about it.
Li Huai suddenly realized, and asked: "As long as our army can survive the wave and wait for their morale to fail, this battle will ...... No, this round, even if you win? ”
Yang Dong nodded, "That's right." ”
"And if it were you, how would you set it up?" Li Huai asked, this is a good opportunity to learn the art of war.
Yang Dong said almost without hesitation: "It's very simple, feint to attack the front, round attack the side, as long as the offensive does not stop, the east position will be broken, and if the east position is taken, our rear side will be dangerous." ”
When Li Huai heard this, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and asked after him: "What is the countermeasure?" ”
"Break the Chinese army!" Yang Dong said.
Li Huai didn't continue to ask, this one ring after another is too complicated, and it is useless for him to ask so much.
You still have to be able to improvise.
Moreover, the enemy no longer gave him time to ask questions.
Woo ~ Woo woo!
As the horn of the bull's horn specially made in the Western Regions sounded, the enemy cavalry rushed like a torrent.
Just one word: reckless!
Ten thousand horsemen charged in unison, the shocking scene was indescribable, and the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be stepping on people's chests instead of on the ground.
This head-on impact makes people palpitate.
The earth trembled!
"Two miles away!"
"A mile away!"
"The enemy has entered the artillery coverage of our army."
Li Huai did not give the order to open the cannon, just watched the enemy cavalry rush over until 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters in front of the camp gate......
Closer.
Brush!
The cavalry in front had already rushed to the camp gate, threw out the iron hook, and hung it on the camp gate, trying to pull it down.
Distance.
King Gao Chang and the others who were watching the battle on the hillside all leaked contemptuous smiles, and hung up the hook so easily.
Is there still suspense in this battle?
They all glanced at Tu Nao, and the sneer was even worse.
Tu Nao frowned, he didn't understand, why didn't Liang Jun open fire?
Is it to save artillery?
Last night's stance, but there was no sense of saving at all.
Then.
"Three-two-one!"
"Wow!"
The cavalry of the Western Regions shouted slogans in unison, and then pulled hard at the same time, but the result was a big surprise.
The camp shook a little, but it didn't fall.
They did not believe in evil again, but they did not fall.
Even Yang Dong leaked a surprised expression.
"They don't understand mechanics at all." Li Huai said with a smile, no one would pay much attention to the few tripods outside the camp gate, as well as the special structure of the camp.
These are actually used to resist lateral forces, of course, that can't bear to pull all the time.
He's still waiting.
"Why don't they have to shell?" Li Huai felt very strange, the Gaochang royal department didn't bring a single cannon.
"Maybe they know that once the artillery positions are exposed, they will be attacked by your artillery group in Blackwater Mountain." Yang Dong said tentatively.
This is simply obvious, in the face of Heishui Mountain's situation of fighting high and low, who dares to expose the position of artillery.
"So they're waiting for me to expose my firepower?" Li Huai asked.
Yang Dong nodded, "That's probably the case." ”
"Then satisfy them."
Li Huai smiled and waved his hand, "Put!" ”
This sound is not only a rain of artillery, but also a rain of bows and crossbows and arrows, anyway, it is to release all long-range strikes.
But Li Huai hid the dark castle group of Heishui Mountain.
Rumble! Rumble!
More than 100 solid bullets and an overwhelming rain of arrows suddenly appeared above the heads of the cavalry of the Western Regions.
Everyone's faces changed.
Immediately, a large section of space was vacant in the middle, and some people were even smashed directly into meat paste, and the front one was not much better, and was ruthlessly covered by the rain of arrows.
On Heishui Mountain, there were also rolling logs and stones that had been pushed down, and they rumbled into the pile.
Hundreds of casualties were caused in an instant!
The soldiers behind hesitated, the fire was too fierce, but they couldn't stop if they wanted to, and the cavalry behind them were still squeezing inside.
The only way was to break through this barracks, and they went forward one after another, clutching the ropes that were soft red with blood.
Repeat the pull.
There were also people who rushed to the camp and tried to destroy the camp directly, but they were all stabbed back by the rain of arrows and halberds.
Soon, corpses were piled up in front of the camp.
Blood stained the earth red.
"King, withdraw your troops and reorganize the attack!" Tu Nao watched Erlang fall one by one in the artillery fire, and couldn't help but suggest.
Gaochang Wang Chun Yu Yue is also dripping blood in his heart, and the hardness of this Wang Bahu's shell is far beyond his imagination.
Moreover, in such a camp, the Liang army set up three at the clamp, and the crossbowmen of each one could hit the position.
The Liang army not only has more artillery, but also more arrows, which is like rain.
"King, you can't let the brothers in front sacrifice in vain, if you can't even break through the first camp, how can you break through the last two." Another general insisted on continuing the offensive.
Moreover, it can be clearly seen that the first camp is already shaky, and it may be possible to pull it down with a little more force.
The cavalry will be able to rush in.
"Why didn't Liang Jun cut the rope hook? This is clearly a trap! Tu Nao almost roared.
How long has the rope hook been on?
Not to mention using a knife, even if it is a stone, it should be sharpened, but Liang Jun has always let it go.
It's not a trap what it is!
Gaochang Wang Chun Yu Yue didn't know who to listen to, so he hesitated for a while, and lost hundreds of soldiers.
On the other hand, the Liang army, relying entirely on long-range firepower, basically had no casualties.
"Withdraw."
Chun Yuyue gave an order helplessly, originally thinking of defeating it in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that he didn't even break through the first camp.
That's a big gap!
Looking at the eastern battlefield again, I hope to bring some good news.
At this glance, they laughed.
The Liang army lost the advantage of troops, and even set up a straggler formation, isn't this looking for death.
"General Tu, is this what you mean by generals?" Others laughed playfully.
Tu Nao ignored these rumors, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
"Why don't they fire artillery on the eastern battlefield?"
There is no artillery on the main road, which can be understood that the Liang army wants to fight again when it is closer, and the east side does not open artillery, which is incomprehensible.
You must know that once the hand-to-hand combat is engaged, the artillery will not be able to support the front line, and in order not to injure your own people, you can only fire at a distance.
And also.
"I didn't mean to let them attack with arrows, why did they spread out so much?" Chun Yuyue also found a problem.
In the face of such a straggler formation, it only needs to be broken by inserting it from the middle with absolute strength.
Now that it's so scattered, that advantage is gone.
"It is estimated that because of the terrain there, there is no way to organize an arrow offensive." Tu Nao guessed.
The first wave of attacks on the front had been repulsed, and the main road was in chaos, just as Yang Dong had predicted before, there was no way to evacuate the troops, and the soldiers in front did not all withdraw before the road was cleared.
A second offensive could not be organized at all.
Li Huai also set his sights on the battlefield in the east, and it had been a short battle for a while, and neither side had an advantage.
But as the enemy's soldiers continue to reinforce them, the pressure on their own side will increase.
It can't be delayed any longer.
"Order the artillery group on the eastern side to open fire, with grenades!"
