Chapter 52: The Art of War
The Yuncheng army often heard in the mouth of the Qingyang Pass rout:
The vanguard army of the Song King Division, the main general is known as the first warrior of Chongcheng, Meng Wei, with three heads and six arms, and when he is angry, there is still fire and might, and he can open the mountain.
The most terrible thing is that this person eats a living person, and often eats a mouth full of blood in the battle array, and the more he eats, the more brave he becomes, and he is very brutal.
There are also two lieutenant generals under Meng Wei's command, who are also famous armor, but unfortunately they help Meng to abuse, and they are all cannibalistic tiger-like existences.
One of them is Zhao Bing, a bronze hammer wrestler, who is good at breaking the city with two large copper hammers that break the city, charging into battle, blocking the formation to meet the enemy, and thousands of brave people are unstoppable.
The second is Bian Ji, the ghost general, who seems to be dying of tuberculosis, and his unique ghost spells are extremely ruthless, hooking the soul, and he is invincible if he is not a famous armor.
This is the story circulated by the Yuncheng Army, describing the three of them as more terrifying than demons and beasts.
Other people are more or less familiar with Tian Chen, such as Deng Zhizhong, who served as the main general in the rear army, and Wu Kang, who was stabbed several times in the front of the two armies but shouted to break the enemy, are all old acquaintances.
Tian Chen's jealous people are none other than Meng Wei, Zhao Bing, Bian Ji, and Deng Zhizhong.
As for the others? Native chickens and dogs!
When Zhao Bing led the right army forward, Tian Chen's face was gloomy, and he couldn't figure out the intentions of the young general opposite.
The enemy formation appeared on the right side of the battlefield where the front army was fighting fiercely, and the military formation of the front army of Yuncheng began to subconsciously deflect to the left.
The form of the entire battlefield is like a neat cross square, and now suddenly the front is moved crookedly, which makes Tian Chen really uncomfortable, why is this military formation deformed? Asymmetrical, itchy.
The Yuncheng army still did not move.
Meng Wei summoned Zou Wu, pointed at Zhao Bing, and then pointed to Xin Ping of the Left Route Army, and said the military order in detail, and then waved his hand to let Zou Wu take the order to prepare for battle.
"Order, the right army galloped to the front army, outflanked the enemy's front army from the flank, and held a feint, but not to touch the enemy."
"No!"
The battle flag waved, and the right army immediately understood, and a long horn sounded.
Zhao Bing finally showed a smile from the bottom of his heart, my general has the posture of a famous general, but he has never found his strengths, as a brave general, isn't it clear which is more important, brave general or wise general?
Brave generals can be met but not sought, but not none.
He has only seen two of the wise generals who can train a strong army that enforces orders and prohibits and advances and retreats freely, one is in Chongcheng, and the other is in the center of our Daxu at this moment.
"Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy, kill!" Zhao Bing's roar spread all over the battlefield, and even the vanguard troops who were struggling to resist the enemy's offensive could hear it clearly.
The morale of our army is gradually rising, and the enemy is timid, and no matter how elite the troops are, they will be afraid of the risk of being encircled, and the Yuncheng forward army is in frequent chaos.
"Order, the left army is critical, march to the left side of the enemy's formation, make a feint, no military order, no battle."
"Order, the Chinese army rode the camp on horseback, the chariot set up a crossbow, and was on standby at any time."
The sound of the war drums of "dong dong dong" seemed to be beating on the hearts of both the enemy and us in the battle array, our morale was high, and the sound of the decisive battle sounded.
Three roads around the road, seeing that if there is no rescue, the front army of Yuncheng will be mourned.
But the other troops of the Yuncheng Army still didn't move, and Tian Chen laughed even more when he saw this: "Hahaha, I laugh at that Meng Wei'er is unwise, Zhao Bingmangfu is not brave, who does he think I Tian Chen is?" Two ways to make a feint, and you want to lie to me if your acting skills are so clumsy? ”
"Order the three armies, don't act rashly, if the left and right flanks of his Meng Wei dare to engage the front army, then let us Yuncheng teach him a good lesson and tell him what war is."
After hearing this, the generals of Yuncheng laughed with Yuncheng Nan, laughing at the Meng family's children's inadequacy.
Meng Wei stared coldly at the main force of the enemy army as the left and right armies went deeper and deeper, his face became more and more relaxed he didn t know if other people's armies could quickly get out of the battle after they received the battle, but his own army could.
Military discipline and orders and prohibitions that have been trained for a long time are deeply ingrained in the bones of their own army, as long as they give an order, all the armies will move together.
Who still plays the battle flag with you in turn, if you want to fight, you have to fight in one go, its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like a yin, and it is moving like a thunderstorm.
Finally, in Tian Chen's expectation, the left and right armies stopped moving forward after arriving at the established position, and they had no intention of engaging the enemy with the front army of Yuncheng.
Tian Chen clapped his hands and looked left and right: "What did I say?" Did he not dare to smash the team into it? Hahaha, it can be regarded as if he has some ability and knows the truth of being a late striker. ”
The ancients had clouds, and joy must be sad, just when the main generals of the Yuncheng army laughed, there were bursts of drums and horns on the opposite side.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
"Woo~~~"
The situation changed suddenly, and the left and right two roads, which were originally feints, quickly regrouped after a pause, and they really rushed towards the Yuncheng front army like a tiger.
The cavalry on the left and right flanks were deployed, and they immediately rode their horses and galloped, bypassing the central battlefield and rushing directly to the place where the front army and the main force of Yuncheng were linked.
The chariots roared, the war horses interspersed with depth, and Meng Wei's army was like thunder and lightning, and Tian Chen didn't have time to react at all, and found that his remaining front army had shifted from its original middle position to the left flank.
And on the vacant flat ground in the middle, five thousand armored horsemen came with murderous energy, and the person who led the team was Zou Wu, who had high hopes.
didn't have time to think about it, Tian Chen immediately made people beat the drum, closed the left and right roads to the middle, strangled the cavalry phalanx, and then galloped to the front army.
Just when the Yuncheng army was about to close the siege, the armored cavalry fired a light crossbow shot head-on, and the entire cavalry battalion just said hello, sent out thousands of crossbow arrows, and then made a whirlwind, and rushed out of the gap that had never been completely closed.
Tian Chen was so aggrieved that he wanted to vomit blood, this dog thief actually learned the tactics of ghosts and dogs, and he was shameless.
Holding my Beihai crossbow, riding my Beihai horse, and bullying my Beihai people with barbarian tactics, Tian Chen was extremely angry, it was simply too bullying.
After a delay by Zou Wu, the front army of the Yuncheng army was already crumbling, surrounded and attacked on three sides, and the smoke and dust rolled up by the enemy cavalry behind obscured the vision.
Heaven and earth are long, this army is like a lonely boat isolated by wild beasts on the sea, and it is possible to be swallowed by a steady stream of enemies at any time.
"Pass my military order, the left and right roads will join the Chinese army, rush to help, rush to help!"
Tian Chen is really anxious now, among the five armies, the Chinese army is the strongest, and the front army is second, if the front army is gone, this battle will be like breaking Yuncheng's hands, and the battle armor will suffer heavy losses.
In the past, the reason for not attacking was because most of the wars between the princes were played like this now, and the front army was fighting, and whoever couldn't hold his breath first would be easily caught by the enemy and then control the enemy.
When the Yuncheng army received the order, they immediately dispersed and closed the encirclement and attacked the battle array in front, but their pace slowed down, and they stopped from time to time to form a formation to guard against a cavalry raid.
Meng Wei looked at the chaotic formation of Yuncheng, laughed, patted the shoulder of Lian Yong, the captain of the pro-military battalion next to him, and finally let go of the tension in his heart, and planned a lot, although he couldn't calculate it all, but it was generally carried out as planned, and when he hit this point, he could actually lay the winner.
Now these people are more shameless than one by one in terms of strategy, for example, the Yi family killed Wang Hai, but they didn't pay any attention to the etiquette of the princes.
In terms of tactics, it is extremely conservative, and it may also be caused by the inertia of wars between princes for many years, and it has not been able to adjust so quickly.
So, Meng Wei arrogantly handed the axe in his hand to his own soldiers: "Command Xin Ping, attack with all your might, drive the enemy's former army to me back, let Zhao Bing show his mouth as planned, and drive people to Tian Chen's Chinese army." ”
"Summoned Deng Zhizhong, the chariot rushed into battle, and Zou Wu's cavalry battalion attacked and killed all the way behind the chariot!"
In this war, there is no longer any need for him to personally charge into battle.
Zou Wu's cavalry squeezed the main force of the enemy's rear into a ball, while Zhao Bing, who was fighting with a wide open and closed kill, happily compressed the space of the army in front of Yuncheng.
The commander gave the order, the flag officer waved the flag, and the horn sound of two short and one long sounded again.
Xin Ping and Zhao Bing immediately left a gap, providing a gap for the enemy in the encirclement to break through.
Xu Li, the young general of Yuncheng who had previously rushed through the Qinyuan, came out of the gap with the front army of Yuncheng in a cloak, and was excited about the joy of escaping, when the chariot roared behind him.
Deng Zhizhong, who was the leader, asked rampantly: "Where is the Yuncheng man?" When old friends get together, how can they not come out to greet them? ”
The former army, which had just found a glimmer of life, was suddenly frightened and rushed to flee to their own home.
In previous years, as long as you can escape back to your own camp and get the shelter of friendly forces, you will have the opportunity to regroup around the rear army and start over.
But at this time, the main force of Yuncheng can barely run the military formation, which is already very weak, where is there still the opportunity and space to open the battle formation and let the army pass.
And behind this group of routs were all chariots and cavalry.
Everyone was huddled together, the front army wanted to retreat, and the main shield array shouted hoarsely "retreat to both sides"
No one paid attention to him at all, the chasing army behind him followed too closely, and the rout of the former army did not have time to think.
The two torrents collided together, and the formation became more and more chaotic, Tian Chen looked at this scene, and his mind was also blank.
He had never seen such a strong armored horseman, nor had he ever seen such an army forbidden.
If it is commanded by an ordinary person, when the two armies are so close, it is difficult to control their military momentum and resist the desire to attack motionlessly.
Under the tense atmosphere, these soldiers are not so easy to control.
Not to mention, you can change formations at will during the battle, making room for friendly forces and closely cooperating with each other.
How can it be said that change will change? Can you still obey the command after killing the red eye?
The most important thing is that he actually went out with five armies at once, and he didn't spare any hands, and these people could also follow the order and attack at the same time.
Unheard!!! Tian Chen is very incomprehensible!!
The chaotic military situation around him, Tian Chen was like nothing, and he kept recalling the trend of this battle in his mind, and it was clear that he had done nothing wrong in front of him.
He was obviously waiting for the other party to strike first, and then grab a preemptive strike, why was he suddenly knocked down in an instant?
The dense war drums seemed to have more than one pattern, the horns, the flags, the neat and orderly pace, and the suppression of the arrows raining down.
Tian Chen seemed to understand something, but where was there a chance to start over, and if he didn't run, he wouldn't need to be energetic.
Deng Zhizhong's chariot had arrived, the chariot was invincible, the first ten crossed the enemy formation, tearing the fragmented military formation one by one, and the last ten chariots rushed straight into these gaps, plowing the ground out of crimson axles.
Immediately after, the armored cavalry passed left and right, and in the enemy formation, it was like a hot knife cutting oil, dividing the Yuncheng military formation into several pieces.
When the cavalry and chariots completed their respective tasks, an orderly phalanx of armor and soldiers followed.
Attack disorder in order.
The tide is over!
Tian Chen suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Deng Zhizhong and Zou Wu, who were getting closer and closer to him, and immediately urged his emperor in panic, turned the head of the car, and withdrew his troops back to the city.
Daxu is the main banner of the main general of an army, and it is also the soul of an army.
The Da Xuan of the Yuncheng Army was moving back, the entire army was completely dissolved, and the last trace of orderly formation was also pulled and scattered with the departure of Da Xu, and everyone desperately fled backwards.
The cavalry 'guarding' on both sides of the Yuncheng army acted as if escorting the enemy, controlling the direction of the enemy when he fled.
The Great Rout, open.
Wu Dang suffered eleven wounds in his body, and the armor on his chest was full of arrows blocked by the armor, and he chased and killed dozens of miles in a frenzy.
Finally confronted the villain who dared to plot against him again.
With a spear, he slashed Xu Li, who had no intention of fighting, under the horse, and then raised his head to the sky and roared freely, and fell to the ground with a bang.
The enemy and our army have already pursued far away, and the Chinese army where Meng Wei is located is also moving slowly with the movement of the army.
Everywhere you look, the stumps and broken bones abound, and the wails of the defeated army who are not yet dead are all in one piece.
If he was still the fledgling boy at the beginning, he would have already felt the cruelty of the battlefield at this moment.
Along the way, I have seen too many and experienced more cruel facts.
At this time, Meng Wei only had coldness in his eyes, and only who was sharp.
"Speed up the march and let the rear army clean up the battlefield."
"Spread the word to the five armies, and fight quickly."
"Tell Wu Kang and Zhao Bing that I will have a feast in the City Lord's Mansion in Yuncheng tonight!"
