Chapter 0215 - One Will Succeed and Ten Thousand Bones Will Wither
Kill! β
The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded on the shore of the Yellow River, resounding through the sky and shaking the four fields!
I don't know how many civil wars this is for the Zhao army, cannibalistic civil wars!
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.
Under the orders of their respective generals, the rebels were in close contact with the officers and soldiers, and it was the rebels who attacked first. The rebels were on a rampage with 5,000 cavalry, and with an indomitable momentum, they rushed towards the phalanx of the officers and troops like a tsunami.
"Boom! ......"When the horse's hooves stepped on the shield, there was a loud noise, like a storm crashing on the shore.
"Ahh Whew! The screams came and went.
The chaotic hooves of the horses hit the shield array, either the people turned on their backs, or the shields were crushed, and then the knight on the horse stabbed and took the life of the shield-wielding enemy!
"Rush!"
"Kill me!"
There is no barrier in the world that cannot be broken. No matter how strong the shield array is, it can't withstand the powerful momentum of the cavalry. Around this, the first line of defense in front of this formation, the shield array has slowed down the momentum of the rebel cavalry's attack!
Here, under Shi Min's orders, the officers and soldiers began to withdraw the shield array and let the five thousand cavalry in.
At the same time, Shi Min waved the flag!
"Suo Chao, Wentai!"
"The last general!" Suo Chao and Wen Tai, who were following Shi Min's side, suddenly responded.
"Each of you will lead 2,000 cavalry, from the left and right flanks, outflank the enemy on both sides, only harass, not fight!"
"No!"
The two generals roared their promises, and then each ordered 2,000 cavalry, galloped on horseback, and struck out from both sides of the official army, and pounced on the two flanks of the enemy's phalanx.
It's good to come!
Although Shi Chong is a wine bag and rice bag, he also has people under his command who can fight habitually and are well versed in strategy, and Chen Xian is one of them.
Chen Xian said: "King, the enemy's wings are instigated, smoke and dust are billowing out, and there seems to be a cavalry movement!" For the sake of prudence, please send the king to send heavy infantry soldiers to protect the two wings of our army's formation! β
"Good!"
With Shi Chong's order, the rebels sent 5,000 heavily armored infantry soldiers to move to the two flanks of the military formation.
At the same time, the 5,000 cavalry of the rebels had already entered the flying phalanx of the official army, as if they wanted to tear a hole in it, so as to divide and surround the official army.
Shi Min was not in a hurry, and the battle formation of the officers and troops changed again, presenting an inverted triangle. But all the enemy soldiers who rushed into the official and military formations were either cut off by their horses' legs, fell to their backs, or were pulled to the ground alive, and then their bodies were dismembered!
The advantage of cavalry over infantry lies in its mobility, and the wide plains are their home field, where the advantage of cavalry is significantly greater than that of infantry. But Shi Min obviously took this into account, so he allowed the five thousand enemy cavalry to rush into his military formation, and then the entire phalanx began to change, and the foot soldiers cooperated with the shield bearers and samurai, and the cavalry roamed away, blocking the momentum of the cavalry.
"Die!"
A horseback rebel cavalryman wielded a spear and killed a shield-bearer, but then an officer and warrior with a round shield in one hand and a sword in the other swung his sword, slashing his throat and killing the enemy.
"Poof!"
Bloody!
Looking down from a high place, these 5,000 cavalry soldiers were surrounded by layers, and with their assault power, they could not break through the phalanx of the official army at all. The phalanx of the official army had already dispersed when the rebels came in, and the strength of the rebels began to be consumed little by little, and finally sank into the sea like a stone and was silent.
The 2,000 cavalry led by Wen Tai and Suo Chao were met with stubborn resistance from the rebels' heavily armored foot soldiers. The officers and cavalry did not dare to fight hard, but just bent their bows and arrows there.
Seeing that the rebels had fallen into a disadvantage, Shi Chong was not in a hurry, because he still had a back hand!
"Newspaperβ"
In the official army, a small colonel flew over.
"The Grand Duke! Something is wrong! In the rear of our army, thousands of rebel elite cavalry suddenly appeared! β
Hearing this, Shi Min's brows furrowed, but he was as steady as an old dog, and he was not flustered at all.
It is well known that Shi Min is more cautious than anyone else when fighting.
Many commanders, in war, the general commanders send scouts to reconnoiter within a radius of more than ten miles of the army, but Shi Min is different, he vigorously cultivates scout troops, so the army he leads can even find out the wind and grass within a radius of thirty miles.
"How far are the rebels from our battle formation?"
"It's less than ten miles away!"
"What?" Shi Min was finally moved.
"What do the scouts eat? Why did the enemy arrive within ten miles of the news of the enemy? Shi Min was very dissatisfied.
The little colonel looked ashamed: "Governor, the scouts sent out by our army were hunted by the enemy one by one, if it weren't for the elite scouts who fought desperately to get out of the encirclement and came back to report the news, we might not be able to know the movements of the rebels in the rear until now!" β
Now is not the time to hold accountable.
Shi Min immediately decided: "Li Nong! β
"The last general!" Li Nong immediately stood up.
"You sit in the middle of the army and command the whole army to fight!"
"Yes!"
"Wait!"
At this time, Dong Kuang, who was on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Dong Kuang crossed his hands and said: "The Metropolitan Governor wants to personally lead the army to face the future rebels?" β
"Not bad." Shi Min did not hide it.
"No."
"Why not?"
Dong Kuangyi said sternly: "The governor of the capital is the body of ten thousand gold, and he is the commander of our army, how can he abandon the whole army and risk his life for the sake of the courage of his horseman?" β
Hearing this, Shi Min frowned with some displeasure and said: "The rebels are menacing, most of the rear of our army's battle formation are recruits, and their combat strength is not strong, once they are attacked by the rebels' elite cavalry, they will become defeated, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" β
Can you afford the responsibility of the collapse of the whole line?
Shi Min's worries are not unreasonable.
The thousands of enemy cavalry that suddenly appeared in the rear must be elite, and the vast majority of the soldiers behind the official and military phalanx have just entered the battlefield, and they have not yet been tempered by blood and fire.
Then the army collapsed, and the impact was fatal. This will cause a domino effect, and even the Chinese army and the front army will be caught off guard, and then they will be divided and surrounded! It is not impossible for the officers and troops to be defeated!
Think about the historical Battle of Weishui, what about the 800,000 army? There are too many soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to deal with emergencies.
Shi Min was worried, so he planned to go out in person, lead the most elite broken army camp to kill it, and harden the rebel elite cavalry that was about to rush.
Unexpectedly, Li Nong also had a different opinion: "Governor Dadu, what General Dong said makes sense. The things that charge into battle have their own soldiers to do, and most of the governors are the commanders of the first army, and they should be in charge of the Chinese army, don't they hear about Xiang Ji and Sun Ce? β
Item? Sun Ce?
Dong Kuang said again: "Yes." The Metropolitan Governor, Xiang Ji and Sun Ce are known as ten thousand enemies, and they have the courage of ten thousand people, but the courage of the horseman, how can they be enemies of ten thousand people? Does the Metropolitan Governor want to be a member of the Xiang or Liu Bang? β
Chu Overlord and Han Gaozu, which is better or worse?
Character aside, Shi Min certainly prefers to be Liu Bang as a successful person.
Xiang Yu and Liu Bang can be regarded as well-known figures for women and children.
In the evaluation of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang by later generations, many people position Xiang Yu as a hero, and Liu Bang as a gangster, but it was this gangster who defeated the hero Xiang Yu.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Xiang Yu is a hero, he is already an unstoppable overlord at the age of 27.
In the war to eliminate the Qin State, Xiang Yu was invincible, "attacking Tao", "pulling out Xiangyang", "beheading Li You", "killing Song Yi", "all the generals were intimidated", saving Qi in the east, breaking Zhanghan in the west, and in the battle of Julu, he disregarded life and death, broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, and achieved a key victory, "summoning the princes and generals, entering the gate, all of them kneeling forward and not daring to look up", the spirit can be described as majestic and heroic, and the momentum is like the sky.
It is recorded in the "Historical Records" that Xiang Yu "is more than eight feet long, can carry the tripod, and is talented, although the children of Wuzhong are all afraid of their origins." And Liu Bang is indeed a gangster, when he was young, he didn't like to read much, and he didn't like to work in the fields, and he was often reprimanded by his father as a "scoundrel".
Later generations have many opinions on the success or failure analysis of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and there are also many evaluations of their personalities.
Many people think that Xiang Yu is short-sighted, complacent, brave and unwise, and lacks the temperament of a magnanimous monarch, while Liu Bang is cunning, slippery, scheming, and good at attracting others for his own use. Why do Xiang Yu and Liu Bang have such personalities.
There is a self deep inside each of us. In Xiang Yu's heart, he has always regarded himself as a hero, and he has always demanded himself with a heroic spirit.
Xiang Yu was born in an aristocratic family in the Chu State, and when he was a child, he must have heard a lot of heroic deeds of the generals of the Chu State, and he himself was "able to carry the Ding and be talented", and he was a famous general Hou Yi, so it can be said that Xiang Yu regarded himself as a hero at a very young age. When he grew up, he achieved so many great feats and was feared by so many people, so the image of a hero was even more ingrained in his heart.
He rejected the talented Han Shin because Han Shin had been humiliated by his crotch.
He admired the hostile Fan Xu, because Fan Xu was loyal and brave, and he thought Fan Xu was a strong man.
These two examples illustrate how important a hero is in his heart. But the hero in his heart is only a hero in force, not a hero with both wisdom and bravery.
Because in Xiang Yu's heart, he has long positioned himself as a hero, so he doesn't like to learn, and he doesn't like to summarize himself, his talent only stays at the level of leading troops to fight. Moreover, he indulges his emotions, rewards and punishes his subordinates according to his preferences, and kills people according to his preferences.
He did not put his mind on the management of the country and did not put his mind on recruiting talents.
Xiang Yu's life has always been smooth, and he doesn't seem to have suffered any setbacks. When he experienced a setback in his life, it was Wujiang's defeat, and his way of dealing with this setback was to kill himself. Although in a sense, this was a very sad ending, Xiang Yu died a heroic death.
Maybe in the depths of Xiang Yu's heart, his heroic image cannot be damaged, he will not be able to endure the humiliation of his crotch like Han Xin, nor will he be like Liu Bang to ask for guilt at the Hongmen banquet, he thinks that his failure is "the death of the heavens", and the heavens want him to perish.
Liu Bang is a grassroots and a gangster.
He must have experienced too many setbacks in his upbringing. He must have accumulated a lot of experience in the process of fighting with people. Liu Bang doesn't seem to have any classic stories, and he is impressed by the killing of the White Snake, the Hongmen Banquet and not taking a penny, but he entered Lu Gong with the nominal "He Wan Qian", and got Lu Gong's daughter as a daughter-in-law.
From these stories, we can see Liu Bang's courage, and Liu Bang is a person with strong psychological endurance and is not emotional.
Character determines fate, and the story of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang illustrates this even more.
In the end, Shi Min was persuaded by Dong Kuang.
"Sarana!"
"The last general!"
"You immediately lead 5,000 cavalry, bypass the phalanx, go straight to the rear of our army, and block the rebel elite cavalry!"
"Yes!"
The momentum of the cavalry charge was very fast, and Shi Min knew this, so he planned to fight quickly!
When he lit up his 5,000 Xuanjia cavalry, Shi Min immediately pulled out his hand and said loudly: "Where is the broken barracks!" β
"In!" The soldiers of the 1,000-pounded barracks, armed to the teeth, sang a promise.
"Charge with me!"
"All the troops are attacking!"
"Killβ"
