Chapter Ninety-Six: The First Encounter
Chapter Ninety-Six: The War of Soldiers
The Dihuang people are well-trained and extremely good at riding. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, only Jīng Ruijun could fight with them on the horse. However, in terms of strength alone, although the Di Huang people are born with a strong physique, they are far inferior to the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who are full of martial arts.
A well-trained Great Zhou soldier who practiced martial arts, wearing the armor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, could easily kill a Dihuang soldier, and could support the combined attack of two Dihuang soldiers for a long time.
1,200,000 Dihuang soldiers against 650,000 Great Zhou soldiers, this is the real military strength of both sides in the Northwest Campaign. Although it seemed that Fang Yun controlled a large number of troops, in terms of combat effectiveness, there was actually not much difference between the two sides.
More importantly, one of the two sides is a veteran and experienced general who has never been on the battlefield. That's the huge gap between the two sides.
Although Fang Yun had an army of 1.2 million Di Huang, he had a slight advantage in terms of strength. But if he can't make good use of it, Yang Hong doesn't even need to kill a lot of soldiers to swallow up this force. In fact, Yang Hong often does this. In his battle book, there are countless examples of winning more with less!
"In the last life, Zhang Ying and I played sand table deduction, and they were all ordinary sand. It's the first time that this kind of practice is a magic weapon, and it is extremely realistic sand table deduction. Let's familiarize yourself with it first. ”
Fang Yun thought in his heart, and immediately commanded an army of 1.2 million to arrange troops.
"Two people are starting to line up!"
Almost at the same time, Yang Hong's side also began to arrange troops. In Dali Temple, everyone played jīng god. Arranging troops is the most basic ability of a general, and from this, it can be immediately seen that the ability of both sides to command the troops.
"It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as immobile as a mountain. is a good prince and a young guard, commanding the army, and he really knows the key to the art of war!"
Li Juzheng and the others glanced at Yang Hong's sand table, and saw that 650,000 Great Zhou soldiers, under the command of Yang Hong, marched in an all-round way, like a sea cháo, sweeping half of the sand table. The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were like ghosts, their movements were secretive, their movements and goals were completely unpredictable. With Yang Hong's move, the sand table on the side of Da Zhou was suddenly slaughtered. Yang Hong used an army of 650,000 to ambush countless killing machines on this complex terrain, and these killing machines constituted a huge strangulation net. Just waiting for Fang Yun's troops to enter, he immediately strangled all the way and destroyed it.
With a simple arrangement of troops, Yang Hong immediately revealed that he was a famous general with generosity and magnanimity! Even if Li Juzheng and the others did not have much good impression of Prince Shaobao, they had to praise him when they saw his troop transport.
This crown prince may be arrogant, but in terms of commanding the army, he is indisputably powerful! Looking at the princes and generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are not many who can be compared.
"The prince Shaobao, sure enough, lives up to his reputation. This kind of troop is scattered everywhere, scattered but not chaotic, and it should be the 'heaven and earth net' that he is very good at!"
Rong Ting, a first-class Guanglu doctor, was well-informed, and recognized Yang Hong's formation at a glance! The advantage of this formation is that it really moves the whole body. It's really like a net, once the fish falls into it, the more you struggle, the more it hurts, and the more you can't struggle!
"I don't know how Fang Yun will respond!"
A pair of eyes looked at the light and shadow on the left side of the sand table. I saw that in the vast mountains and forests, the army of 1.2 million Di Huang, like a swarm of ants, was piled up there casually, without any rules at all.
The commander of this army seems to want to try to form a formation, but it seems that he is a little flustered because there are too many troops. After lining up for a long time, I couldn't get out of the hall, and I made a regular army into a ragtag army!
"This!—"
Li Juzheng and the others were dumbfounded, not only did the 1.2 million Di Huang army not exert its original power, but it was weakened by a few points by Fang Yun's row. If Yang Hong launched a general charge at this time, Fang Yun would be defeated immediately!
Even Rong Ting, who was in the lobby, frowned imperceptibly when he saw this scene.
What Fang Yun showed at this moment was completely the performance of a novice like a white version!
"What's going on? Could it be that he's still getting acquainted with the formation?"
Fang Yun was also quite embarrassed in his heart at this time, feeling that it was a matter of time. The real drill is another matter. In his previous life, Fang Yun, Zhang Ying, and Zhou Xin, two friends, played the most sand table deduction.
However, the three people played, that is, the ordinary sand table. Plant a few flags and then start the drill, this kind of ordinary deduction, the arrangement of troops is extremely simple. With such a realistic sand table deduction, this is the first time Fang Yun has played it.
One hundred and twenty thousand troops was not a small number, in fact, as Rong Ting had guessed, Fang Yun was really trying to get acquainted with the regulation and control arrangements of this one hundred and twenty thousand troops. Frankly speaking, Fang Yun is a novice at the moment.
However, after all, Fang Yun had the foundation of the sand table deduction in his previous life, and gradually, Fang Yun finally figured out a little trick, and the army no longer seemed so chaotic. The 1,200,000-strong army marched in four directions, slowly revealing four simple phalanxes on the left flank, the center, the right flank, and the rear flank.
At this time, Yang Hong's scouts also arrived. The formation of more than twenty black-armored scouts stood on the high hill, looking up and down, motionless. Obviously, Yang Hong was also puzzled.
Yang Hong originally thought that Fang Yun dared to challenge himself in this aspect, no matter what, he also had some ability. However, looking at the chaotic army under the mountain, Yang Hong also began to be confused. Fang Yun's performance was completely like a novice who didn't understand anything. It's still a very low-level newbie!
"Is this considered confusing the enemy?" Yang Hong's heart was full of doubts at this time, but he was not the kind of person who could be easily confused. With a wave of the commanding flag, more than twenty scouts rushed down like tigers and wolves, and instantly rushed into Fang Yun's left flank army, and after killing more than fifty Di Huang soldiers, they immediately returned to the hill with a roundabout.
Easy, it's too easy! This scout army did not lose a single soldier, and slaughtered Fang Yun's army of more than fifty Di Huang. Fang Yun's performance was not like it, but completely a novice.
After being killed by Yang Hong, Fang Yun just glanced at the black armor army on the hill and didn't chase after him. Gathered the left flank and continued to line up.
More than fifty soldiers, let him kill. An army of 1.2 million is enough for him to kill for a few days and nights.
Seeing that Fang Yun didn't chase after him, he didn't fight back. Yang Hong's mind moved, and the twenty scout army rushed down again, and in one turn, he killed more than forty Di Huang army, the easy army. During the whole process, no resistance was encountered.
Fang Yun ignored it and continued to arrange his troops. Slowly, he began to find a sense of commanding his troops. The army of 1.2 million began to show a little order.
Yang Hong hesitated at this time, according to Fang Yun's performance at the moment, as long as 600,000 Great Zhou soldiers rushed over, he would be able to kill Fang Yun immediately and win immediately.
"There must be an ambush here, maybe it was deliberately induced to me. I want to destroy my formation!"
Once the 600,000 army rushed over, the great array of heaven and earth nets was immediately shattered, and it took time to arrange again, and it was easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy. Yang Hong remembered Fang Yun's confident expression when he took the initiative to challenge yesterday. He always felt that something was wrong, he almost instinctively thought that Fang Yun must have ambushed something somewhere, but he hadn't seen it yet.
However, although Yang Hong's kung fu is not good, his ability to fight for ten years is there. Moreover, Yang Hong pursues the trickery of a soldier, and it is impossible for him to give up the opportunity in front of him just because of a suspicion.
With a wave of Yang Hong's hand, a small number of cavalry immediately poured out from all over the mountains, plains, dangerous places, mountains, forests and valleys, and rushed towards Fang Yun's camp in an orderly manner.
Yang Hong's speed was extremely fast, almost the fifth time that the scout army covered up, and a large number of scattered black armor troops immediately appeared on the high ground around Fang Yun's army. At the sound of an order, these black-armored soldiers immediately roared down and came to rob and kill.
Seeing these thousands of troops, Fang Yun also breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Hong's army is still a temptation. Even if there is a loss, it is not within the scope of Fang Yun's acceptance. As soon as the horn sounded, Di Huang's army immediately shrank inward and took the initiative to avoid Yang Hong's army who came to attack the camp.
"Kill!-"
Thousands of Great Zhou soldiers rushed into it like wolves and tigers, and people turned on their horses wherever they passed. After a while, he immediately turned around and ran towards Takaoka.
Fang Yun didn't chase either, and counted the losses. This wave of killings, plus the previous ones, lost about 5,000 soldiers. This number is a little much, but it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the army of 1.2 million, and it is within the range of bearing.
Yang Hong's military strength stood still on the high wind, and when he glanced back, he saw that Fang Yun had not caught up. As soon as the command flag waved, there was immediately another wave of looting.
Once, twice, three times......
The two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, constantly repeating this monotonous attack on the camp and being attacked. The soldiers controlled by Yang Hong never penetrated into the depths of Fang Yun's army, and they continued to rob and kill outside the phalanx. After a while, Fang Yun's casualties reached fifteen thousand.
Collapse!
Another robbery, and suddenly a long arrow came out from the depths of Di Huang's army, passed through the gap in the armor, and pierced the neck of a Great Zhou soldier. The Great Zhou soldier made a gurgling sound in his throat and fell from his horse.
Like a pebble falling into the water, it ripples. At the moment when this soldier died, Yang Hong's mind was shocked, and he felt that something was wrong. Thousands of troops immediately retreated to Takaoka.
"Something is wrong...... As soon as the cold wind blew on Gao Gang, Yang Hong immediately sobered up a lot. The results of several robberies suddenly passed through my mind one by one: "Three thousand people killed five thousand people for the first time, four thousand five for the second time, three thousand people for the third time, two thousand people for the fourth time, five thousand eight hundred people, ......
"This guy is using me to train the army!"
Yang Hong's rich experience immediately gave him a glimpse of the key. Yang Hong looked down the mountain and saw that the army of more than one million Di Huang was neatly divided into four phalanxes: left, center, right, and rear. The million-strong army is waving its flags, murderous, and there is still a little trace of chaos, which is clearly a well-trained regular army!
"I've been tricked! This guy doesn't have any backhand ambush at all!"
At this time, no matter how stupid Yang Hong was, he knew that he was too suspicious and missed the best opportunity to kill!
Fang Yun seemed to sense the thoughts in Yang Hong's heart, and the army of more than a million people looked at the mountain in unison, as if they were laughing at him. Yang Hong only felt annoyed in his heart, and the three thousand army rushed down again.
Collapse! Collapse!
This time, Fang Yun took the initiative to fight back, and countless arrows shot out at the same time. The armor made by the Great Zhou was very hard, and the arrows shuffled on it, making a clanging sound. However, Da Zhou's armor is not completely flawless, at least, the neck needs to be moved, and it is impossible to join it all.
"Ahh
Amid the screams, dozens of casualties appeared among Yang Hong's soldiers for the first time. At this time, the two sides once again fought each other. The two sides injured each other, and Yang Hong did not love to fight, so he still rushed to kill and turned back again. In the process of returning, he was killed by Fang Yun a lot.
After returning to a hill to check the points, Yang Hong found that he had actually lost 500 soldiers in this rush. Although Fang Yun lost more, for Yang Hong, it was simply intolerable.
He, a general of a hundred battles, actually lost so many soldiers in Fang Yun's hands!
"Withdraw!"
Yang Hong immediately made a decision and withdrew the remaining 2,500 soldiers. Although he was very unwilling, Yang Hong also understood that now Fang Yun had controlled the army. It's strange to hit an army of millions with a few thousand people, and not lose some!
Seeing Yang Hong retreating, Fang Yun didn't chase after him. Continue to practice this army of more than a million! He is now slowly finding the feeling of fighting against Zhang Ying in his previous life!
Hehe, Yang Hong, you have chosen the wrong path. None of the martial marquis and princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be called a marquis by relying on the word 'treacherous' alone!"
Fang Yun looked at the direction where Yang Hong's army was located, and said with a smile in his heart.
The two of them ended with a small robbery, and the Dali Temple was dumbfounded. If Fang Yun's performance was like a novice who didn't understand anything a moment ago, then his final performance had grown straight into a decent general.
"This Fang Yun is really familiar with the sand table!"
Rong Ting sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that Yang Hong had missed the best opportunity. Behind the bead curtain curtain, the four Taishan Beidou did not move, did not make a sound, and seemed to wait silently for the development of this deduction.
After a short silence, Fang Yun finally began to fight back. At the sound of an order, 10,000 cavalry rushed out like cháo water, rushing out in all directions of the land, and after a while, they crossed the high hill and flew in the direction of Yang Hong's position......
