Chapter 366: Chengpu Military Technique
"The sun is like a cloud, and the arrows are fighting for the first."
In the high-spirited Chu song, the soldiers of Chu braved the rain of arrows from the Qin people and rushed to the front of the Qin army.
"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son! ”
The Qin army also sang a majestic battle song, and the soldiers held their weapons and were full of fighting spirit.
The light crossbowmen at the front dodge to the wings after firing their arrows.
The Qin pawns holding long beryllium in the rear quickly stepped forward, and they stood in a horizontal row, and the length of the beryllium in their hands was more than three meters.
In the shouting of killing, all the Qin soldiers stabbed the beryllium in their hands forward.
The screams rang out one after another, and the Chu soldiers who rushed to the front were stabbed by this wavelength beryllium, and they were knocked over, and many Chu soldiers fell to the ground wailing.
But then, the Chu pawns behind rushed up again, and they waved their swords and halberds, wanting to take the opportunity to kill these Qin pawns who were holding long beryllium and had difficulty moving.
Behind those Qin soldiers, the Qin army's halberders quickly stepped forward and blocked in front of the beryllium-wielding robes.
In their hands, they held halberds that had both thrusting and slashing functions, which was enough to block the charging Chu soldiers and engage them in dogfight.
The beryllium-wielding Qin pawn took the opportunity to withdraw his weapon, retreated to the rear, tightly held the long beryllium in his hand, and looked for an opportunity to stab out the weapon from the gap in the horizontal row of halberders, covering the robe and killing the enemy.
In the battle of the three armies, the shouts of killing continued to sound on the battlefield, one soldier after another fell, and new soldiers were made up one after another from the rear.
The three battlefields of the Qin army were commanded by Feng Wuxue, Zhao Guang, and Meng Tian.
Zhao Tuo retreated to the rear, walked onto the earthen platform specially built for the commander, watched the changes in the situation of the battlefield from a high place, and carried out the scheduling of the entire battlefield level.
"The attack of the Chu army is very fierce."
Lu Qian was amazed, he and Li Shang were appointed as 100 short generals, responsible for following the general's side and directing the short soldiers below to convey the general's orders.
"In one go, it's naturally violent. As long as our army blocks this wave and drags on, the Chu army will be exhausted, and it will be the time for our army to counterattack. ”
Zhao Tuo stood on the high platform, looking at the battlefield in the distance, closely observing the changes in the Chu army.
The forwards of the two armies of Qin and Chu were entangled, and the two sides were evenly matched.
At this time, chariots and cavalry units appeared on the right flank of the Chu army, flanking the left flank of the Qin army on the opposite side.
The left flank of the Qin army was led by Feng Wuxue.
The reason for this arrangement was that the Qin and Chu armies were fighting on Huaishui, and when the Qin army fought westward, its right army relied on Huaishui. With this big river as a cover, he was not afraid of the enemy's chariots and cavalry attacks, so Zhao Tuo arranged Meng Tian, who had less battlefield experience, on the right side of the river.
Then, with the experienced veteran Feng Wuxuan as the left army, he could calmly deal with the various moves of the Chu army.
Sure enough, when the chariot of the Chu army launched a flank attack, Feng Wuxuan arranged for the crossbowmen on the outermost periphery to shoot a round first, and then the spearmen phalanx that had been prepared in the rear stepped forward and faced the chariot with spears.
With Feng Wuxuan's dispatch, more than 1,000 cavalry of the Qin army stepped forward to cooperate with the spearmen to besiege the chariot and cavalry troops of the Chu army, as well as tear apart the unarmed soldiers who followed the chariots and cavalry of the Chu army.
Because Feng Wuxuan's troops came across the river, and Zhao Tuo did not have many chariots under his command, so the Qin army had fewer chariots in this battle, but the number of cavalry was still several thousand, which was enough to deal with this battle.
Under Feng Wuxuan's response, the Chu army's flank attack this time did not achieve much results, and the battle situation was stalemate again.
"General Feng, a true veteran."
On the earthen platform in the rear, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but praise.
If he remembered correctly, Feng Wuxue was also a figure who was named the Marquis of Lun (Guannei Hou) by the Qin Dynasty in his original history, and his ability was naturally beyond doubt.
The main reason why Zhao Tuo dared to fight this battle was also because Feng Wuxuan had a good heart and was willing to give him Zhao Tuo.
With the help of such veterans, the risk of this battle is naturally much smaller. If Feng Wuxuan didn't agree, Zhao Tuo wouldn't have taken the risk of fighting.
The side of the Chu army.
Xiang Yan stood alone, looking at the battle in the distance.
He has no generals around him except for the guards who are in charge of escorts and heralds.
Even Jing Tong also went to the battlefield and commanded operations on the front line.
"Feng has no choice."
Xiang Yan whispered, knowing that this battle was very tricky.
If it was Meng Tian's stunned boy who was on the left flank of the Qin army, not to mention that his chariot and cavalry raid just now could break it in one fell swoop, but at least it could also beat the opponent in a hurry, giving the Chu army a slight advantage. But because of Feng Wuxuan's calm response, the Chu army's attack did not take advantage of the slightest, and even suffered considerable damage.
"With Feng Wuxuan on the other side, it is difficult for the left flank of the Qin army to break through, and it can still take care of the central army of the Qin State. If you want to defeat this time, you should use Meng Tian's army as the breakthrough point. ”
Xiang Yan squinted at Meng Tian's right army on the edge of Huaishui, and the large banner with Mongolian characters behind the Qin army showed his identity as a general.
Persimmon should pick up the soft pinch, and the opponent should pick the weak one.
This truth, he Xiang Yan is naturally very clear.
"Pass the order, let our left army deceive and feint to retreat, and lure Meng Tian to pursue."
Another messenger ordered Jing Tong's Chinese army to get ready, and told Jing Tong to carry out the previous plan. I want to follow the Jin people's military skills in the battle of Chengpu in the past, and break Meng Tian first! ”
Xiang Yan spoke in a deep voice and asked the soldiers to pass the order.
……
"The Chu army is going to be defeated?"
Meng Tian stood on his chariot, his sword eyebrows slightly raised, and his face was surprised.
The three armies are at war, each with its own opponent.
The left army of the state of Chu, which was originally fighting with him, seemed to be unable to hold on, and began to rout.
I, Meng Tian, am so powerful, I can be the first to defeat the enemy army?
Meng Tian's heart became excited.
On his side, his cronies excitedly pleaded: "Captain, do we immediately pursue and advance and take advantage of the victory to defeat the Chu army?" ”
Meng Tian frowned, and he replied, "Send someone to ask General Zhao quickly." ”
At the same time, Zhao Tuo on the high platform also saw that the left army of Chu faced by Meng Tian's troops began to rout.
A thousand miles of embankment, destroyed in an anthill.
The defeat of the left army of Chu was enough to change the situation of the entire battlefield.
However, Zhao Tuo did not immediately order Meng Tian to pursue the defeated left army of the Chu State, because he felt that something was wrong in his heart.
Xiang Yan is the pillar of the Chu State, and he is a figure who can wrestle with Wang Jian, under his command, the Chu army is so easy to fail. And even if he is defeated, the right army of the Chu State should be defeated first from Feng Wuxuan, how could it be Meng Tian who broke the enemy army first?
Although there were doubts in his heart, Zhao Tuo also clearly knew that this was an opportunity to decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
On the battlefield, the chance of victory is fleeting.
As a general, we must seize every opportunity and be decisive and decisive.
"Ordered Meng Tian to divide a part of his forces to pursue the defeated left army of Chu and break it with victory. Meng Tian led the main force to turn, penetrated directly into the central army of Chu, attacked its flank, and cut it off. ”
"The morale of the Chu army is not high, it all relies on a drum of energy to confront our army, as long as Meng Tian succeeds in flanking the Chu army, and Zhao Guang is attacked from both sides, he can quickly defeat the Chu army."
"In this way, the central army and the left army of Chu were defeated, and the right army was difficult to support alone, and An was able to resist. This is the victory! ”
Zhao Tuo decisively ordered that before the people sent by Meng Tian to ask for instructions arrived, he had already asked Lu Juan to send a herald.
……
"Okay, Meng Tian, this young man is really greedy for merit, and when he saw that my left army was defeated, he thought about pursuing it, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to destroy my left army, so he fell into my plan."
Xiang Yan looked at the battlefield in the distance.
Seeing that with the rout of the left army of the Chu State, the Qin army of the Meng Tian Department on the opposite side began to pursue.
This is the time for him Xiang Yan to win.
"Four hundred years ago, the first king of my Chu State became the king, and Yu Chengpu was defeated by the Jin people. This battle is a great shame for my Chu country, and Yin Ziyu apologized for it. This battle was remembered by the Chu generals of all dynasties, and they never dared to forget it. ”
"Today, I will use the original Jin tactics to break your Qin army!"
Xiang Yan's mask frost.
The battle of Chengpu is an eternal pain in the hearts of Chu people.
Before this battle, the state of Chu was in full swing, destroying more than a dozen small Huaishui states in succession, and expanding its power northward to the Yellow River Valley. Even the army of the Eight Kingdoms led by Duke Huan of Qi in his later years was difficult to defeat the long drive of the Chu people, and he could only barely contain the aggressive trend of the Chu State.
After the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the state of Chu was even more invincible, and the Battle of Hongshui broke Song Xianggong. Pressed Lu, Wei, Chen, Cai and other countries to bow down.
At that moment, the state of Chu had the potential to be the hegemon of the world.
But with the rise of Duke Wen of Jin, he fought with the Chu army in Chengpu and won the battle.
Since then, the hegemony of the Chu State has declined, and the Jin State has relied on this battle to dominate the world and become the overlord of the world.
Such a huge impact on the First World War was naturally remembered by the Chu people. The battlefield skills displayed by the Jin army in this battle are even more unforgettable for the Chu generals of all dynasties.
When Xiang Yan was just learning the art of war, he heard his father talk about the tactics of the Jin people back then.
One of the key points is that when the three armies of Jin and Chu confronted each other, the Jin army was defeated and pretended to retreat to lure the Chu army to pursue.
Zi Xixin, the main general of the Chu army on the opposite side, thought it was true and commanded the left army of Chu to pursue, but after the Chu army went deeper, it was stopped by the counterattack of the Jin Shang army. At the same time, because the Chu army pursued deeply, the flanks were exposed in front of the Jin army. The Jin Central Army departed a part of its forces to resist the Chu Central Army, while the remaining main force turned to attack the Chu Left Army from the flank. The left army of Chu was caught by the two armies of the Jin State, suffered heavy casualties, and fled in a rout.
At the same time, the right army of Chu on the other side was also broken by the lower army of Jin, and both wings of the Chu army were lost, and the Chinese army had to retreat in defeat, resulting in the defeat of Chengpu.
The Battle of Chengpu was a battle that changed the pattern of the world 400 years ago.
Now, he, Xiang Yan, also wants to use this tactic to break the Qin army in front of him and find a way out for the Chu State.
Feng Wuxue's left flank of the Qin army was as steady as Mount Tai, and he was difficult to break for a while.
He decided to use the left army of Chu to feign defeat and induce Meng Tian to go deeper, exposing the flanks of the Qin army.
At this time, Jing Tong, who was in the middle army, could turn around with his soldiers and flank Meng Tian's department.
At the same time, the left army of Chu State counterattacked again, and under the attack of the two armies, the Qin army of Meng Tian's department was bound to be defeated.
As soon as Meng Tian was defeated, the right wing of the Qin army was lost, and the flank of Zhao Guang's Qin army was exposed.
The Chu army took advantage of the situation to attack and flank the central army of Qin, so that the central army of Qin could be broken.
Both the middle and right armies of the Qin army were broken, and even if Feng Wuxuan, who commanded the left army, was strong, he was probably unable to support it alone.
"So, this is the victory!"
Just when Xiang Yan raised his eyes to pay attention.
The battlefield finally went to what he had hoped it would be.
With the defeat and retreat of the left army of the Chu State, Meng Tian led the Qin army to pursue and advance, penetrating deep into the rear of the Chu army, and its flanks were exposed.
"Right now, our army will win!"
Xiang Yan's eyes widened, and her voice was hoarse.
From his point of view, it can be seen that with the deepening of Meng Tian's army, the Chu State Central Army led by Jing Tong has divided thousands of people to turn to Meng Tian's direction.
Prepare to slam the Qin army of Meng Tian from the side, cut off its waist, and cooperate with the returning Chu left army to carry out a flanking attack!
On the other side, on the earthen platform behind the Qin army.
"We're going to win!"
Zhao Tuo's eyes were blazing, staring at the battlefield situation in the distance.
With the defeat and retreat of the left army of Chu, Meng Tian led the army deep and rushed straight to the flank of the central army of Chu.
From Zhao Tuo's point of view, it can be seen that Meng Tian detached a part of his soldiers to continue to pursue the left army of Chu, so that it could not be assembled.
At the same time, Meng Tian himself led the main force of the Qin army to turn around and began to flank the central army of Chu, and wanted to cooperate with Zhao Guang's central army of Qin to flank the central army of Chu led by the Chu general Jingtong!
This moment.
Looking down from the sky.
You can see that the Qin army divided a part of its forces from the north and rushed towards the central army of Chu.
At the same time, the central army of Chu also divided part of its forces and attacked the north flank, intending to flank the Qin army.
There is a third watch in the evening, which will be a little later.
