Chapter 994: Retreat Separately
All the anger of the soldiers of the Qin army completely erupted, and after the red eyes, they didn't care about the array arrangement at all. Seeing that the charging formation was scattered, Mu Xiongtian was the first to come to his senses, it was not possible to fight like this!
"Keep in formation!, the second stunned guy in front, you guys slow down for Lao Tzu, the one in the back, speed up for me, and what about the hand cannon squadron? Hurry, press on Lao Tzu!"
Mu Xiongtian's loud voice once again had a miraculous effect, the soldiers in the forward position who charged in front immediately slowed down the speed of the attack rhythmically, and the Qin soldiers in the back immediately followed, forming the effect of a collective charge.
The hand artillery squadron is even more desperate to grab up, because the enemy's large army is in front of them, although their robes and brothers have the upper hand at the moment, but there is a large army of the enemy on the opposite side, once the enemy stabilizes his position, it is possible that the form of the battlefield will be reversed immediately.
In the fight on the battlefield, anything theoretical is useless. There is only the law of iron here, kill the enemy, you will be able to survive and win. And to be killed by the enemy is death, it is defeat.
At this time, it is the most challenging time for the commander to be able to repel the enemy, which is bravery, and to make corresponding adjustments in the face of changes in the shape of the battlefield is resourcefulness.
At the same time, this is also the best time to test the quality of the army. Whether it is a person or a group of demon beasts, when there is a melee, whether or not they can show their leader's command of judging the situation and realizing the greatest advantage of group combat is the embodiment of the individual's understanding of the collective.
After Xirong Po experienced a short period of panic, after observation, the number of people rushing over from the Qin army was not large. That's a weakness that can be exploited. He immediately gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and set up a defensive formation on the best route for the Qin army to charge.
"It's all for Lao Tzu to stand up. Don't be afraid, the Qin army rushed out less than 10,000 people. We have so many people, as long as we resist it, Qin Jun's people are not enough for us to clean up. Remember, don't move blindly and wait for the enemy to rush over and ram the tip of our gun. ”
A lieutenant general said: "Marshal, there are also our people who are defeated and fleeing, this Qin army is mixed together, and our own people can scatter our own people." ”
Xirong gritted his teeth and said: "Send the law enforcement team to clear the field, as long as they rush to our front." And they all fell. A bunch of useless things, what's the use of keeping them?"
When Xirong Po hurriedly laid out the defensive formation, Mu Xiongtian was fighting, his eyes were still paying attention to the changes on the battlefield at any time, and he discovered the other party's intentions.
"Ground attack troops, spread out to the flanks, hand artillery teams, quickly, hurry into the rear of the ground attack forces. As long as the brothers in front of them retreat, they will immediately open the way with hand cannons!"
Qin Jun's well-trained quality on weekdays was reflected at this time. These are all subjects that I train on weekdays, and when I heard Mu Xiongtian's order. With a slight glance, he knew from which direction the brother troops were coming, and hurriedly moved diagonally to the flanks. Gave up the frontal attack position to the troops who followed behind.
There is no place like the battlefield that embodies the truth that time is life and time is victory.
The captain of the hand cannon team had no brotherly expression in Pinsuri. It's more like a fierce god, like driving sheep. With a fragmentary curse in his mouth. Compassion is not in charge of the army, and once again it is manifested, and in the brink of life and death, a fiery temper is more effective than any preaching.
"Damn, hurry up for Lao Tzu! Immediately line up the formation! Load and prepare, give Lao Tzu a fight!"
In the shouting and scolding orders with strong military characteristics, no one will question the order, let alone think that their dignity has been insulted, which is a kind of deformed military culture brought about by war.
The soldiers of the hand artillery team, quickly stood in formation during the march, and operated the hand cannon in a well-trained manner, almost synchronized with the captain's orders, and when the captain shouted to fight, one after another hand cannon shells were whistling out.
Boom Boom Boom ......
The hand cannon shells exploded violently among the fleeing enemies, and the enemies at the center of the explosion instantly turned to ashes, and the enemies around the bomb point were lifted into the sky by a huge shock wave.
The most tragic thing was the enemy who was stained by the burning effect of the hand cannon shells, and they were covered with flames one by one, and the flames could not be extinguished by rolling and other methods, so they could only let out numbing screams one by one and died tragically.
The glare effect of the hand cannon shells illuminates the entire night sky.
"Attack troops on both wings, hold down the speed for Lao Tzu! Rainstorm Pear Bullet Brigade, what the hell are you lame? Press, press! Pass through the two wings of the hand artillery team to protect the safety of the hand artillery team! Pay attention to the overall formation!"
Taking advantage of the interval between cannon shots, Mu Xiongtian once again issued a roaring order. The entire team also gradually returned to the normal array attack formation under the command of Mu Xiongtian.
On the battlefield, because of this stagnation, there was a brief eerie silence, the sound of fighting was temporarily gone, and the sporadic screams gradually weakened, only messy footsteps and a bunch of fragmented shouting and scolding orders.
Qin Jun's tactical literacy, under Qin Ning's strict training, was very high. The Qin army will not be like the army of King Yelan, who is so arrogant that they don't know what their surname is, so they will attack lightly.
All attacks must be carried out in an orderly manner as a whole, giving full play to the overall capability of group operations.
In combat, we must apply the results of training to actual combat, and only in this way can we embody the essence of an army. It's not for nothing that you sweat more and bleed less on the battlefield.
The Qin army adjusted the formation, and Mu Xiongtian gave an order: "Advance!"
Xi Rong Po was a little hesitant, originally wanted to use his rout to guide the Qin army to crash into his own defensive formation, but he didn't expect that the other party was not greedy for merit, but calmly adjusted the formation in the battle, and attacked himself with a normal attack sequence.
For a moment, the idea of retreating lingered in Xi Rongpo's mind.
The adjutant general next to him saw Xi Rongpo's heart, and knew that the form on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and when he came into contact with the Qin army, it was too late to retreat.
"Marshal, the enemy is in full swing, according to what you can see, it's better to retreat. ”
This opinion deeply touched Xi Rongpo, as a rational commander, he will definitely not decide whether to fight or not because of anger, but according to the actual situation.
"Retreat, you go and notify the reserves, do a good job of answering, and set up camp eighty miles outside Lingtu City. ”
Qin Jun saw that he was about to enter an effective attack position, but unexpectedly, the other party died down without warning and turned away.
Whether to pursue or stop, this decision depends on Mu Xiongtian.
Mu Xiongtian looked at it, the enemy was retreating in an orderly manner, and a neat army in the distance was approaching the enemy's retreating troops, and he knew that there was no point in chasing it any further.
"Retreat!" Mu Xiongtian also gave the order to retreat.
The Qin army returned to Lingtu City, and after counting the battlefield, it was found that the Qin soldiers did not have many casualties, but the western city wall of Lingtu City was basically abandoned, and the second line of defense in Xicheng District was also destroyed.
Judging from the human casualties, the Qin army was victorious, but the fortifications were beaten like this, and it was difficult to say that they were the victors.
Qin Ning and Qiu Wenhe personally came out to greet Mu Xiongtian, and Mu Xiongtian knelt on one knee and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister has a heavy trust, and the battle loss in this battle is quite large, please punish Your Majesty." ”
Qin Ning helped Mu Xiongtian up and said, "I have a general understanding, this battle can only be regarded as a victory or defeat for both sides of the enemy, and it is nothing. Although the city defense suffered heavy losses, you also contributed to the maximum safety of the soldiers' lives. ”
Mu Xiongtian hurriedly bowed down and said: "The minister is panicked, and some things have to be worried about by His Majesty, I am really terrified." ”
"Haha!" Qin Ning was amused, "I didn't expect that you, Mu Xiongtian, could also say such a crepe thing." Don't tell me, this is what you read and learn by yourself. ”
Mu Xiongtian said embarrassedly: "Isn't it a military advisor who teaches well?"
In the old Qin army, many people still called Qiu Wenhe a military advisor instead of his official name.
"Well, being able to listen to the words of the military advisor means that you are not arrogant and arrogant, and you have maintained the glorious tradition of the old Qin army. However, your mistakes in this battle are also unforgivable, do you know?" Qin Ning still has a lot of affection for an old subordinate like Mu Xiongtian, and it is precisely because of this that Qin Ning has to beat his old subordinates from time to time.
Mu Xiongtian said sincerely: "What His Majesty said is extremely true. As soon as the cannon outside the city sounded, the minister should have reacted immediately, but because of his own reasons, he delayed the fighter plane, causing the enemy's formed army to approach the city, and led the serious consequences of the destruction of the city defense, please punish your majesty. ”
"Ahem, there's no need for punishment. General Mu, looking at the ruined city wall, I really want to cut off your head. How come the old Qin army's old tradition of quick response, strong response ability, and good at night combat and close combat has been lost? I know that it is because of me that you will hesitate and delay the fighter, but isn't this too low-level for a commander who has been in a hundred battles?"
Although the enemy has the unexpected ordnance of vehicle-mounted heavy artillery, as long as it is dealt with properly and a small group of troops is dispatched in advance to harass and attack, it should be able to find out.
As long as you find the super strength of the other party, there will definitely be a corresponding way.
Although the heavy artillery is powerful, after all, it must be placed well in order to exert its power, as long as the heavy artillery has not yet reached the appropriate position to wrap up, these vehicle-mounted heavy artillery will not be able to exert their due power at all.
