Invincible son

Chapter 413 412 [Sweeping] ([-])
Battlefield command is a very complicated science.

Especially in this era when communication technology is very primitive and backward, when the number of people participating in the battle is in units of tens of thousands, it will become very difficult to dispatch large corps, which will extremely test the experience and vision of the coach.

But the war in this era is by no means as simple as two sides fighting each other and hacking randomly.

On the vast battlefield outside Xishanzhai, Tang Youzhi was under the banner of the commander in chief of the Chinese army, using instruments and heralds to constantly adjust the overall situation.The Daliang military clearly stipulates that there are two kinds of golden drums during wartime. One is the beating drum. This is the big drum of the Chinese army that Pei Yue used to see in his previous film and television works.In fact, the meaning of beating drums is continuous beating of drums, which is the final command for the army to charge after approaching the enemy. When they hear it, the infantry will rush forward and charge, and it is usually activated at the last moment.

The second is the step drum, which is also the most frequently heard drum sound in real wars, and is used to control the advancing speed of one's own infantry.Beat the drum, and the infantry will advance ten steps. Use the sound of the drum to adjust the priority of the attack, and at the same time give the infantry time to breathe.

In addition to the two common methods of beating drums to march and beeping gold to withdraw troops, the Daliang army will also use sharp-sounding instruments such as suona and trumpets to issue orders. Of course, this requires a long time for infantry to learn and master. Reasons for free movement outside.He believed that Pei Yue could sharpen the combat effectiveness of this cavalry, but he didn't believe that these people could fully grasp the rules of the army in such a short period of time.

When the commander-in-chief is conveyed to the commander level, the most frequently used command method is the flag.

Any Daliang soldier will engrave the importance of the flag in his heart from the day he joins the army.When fighting, they will follow their commander's flag to move. Ordinary soldiers look at the flag of the sentry officer, and the sentry officer looks at the guerrilla, and so on.Refinement to every area of ​​the battlefield, unless the defeated soldiers have been defeated, the normal army will not easily appear headless chaos.

The combat power of the Longbow Army surpassed that of the Fourth Frontier Battalion, and a complete and efficient command method contributed a lot. Moreover, as long as the flag is still there, even if the general is heroic in battle, his subordinates can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness.

But for Tang Youzhi, even if he exerted his ability to the extreme, he already felt great pressure at this moment.

The 5000 infantry were divided into five parts. It was not the traditional formation of the four armies, the front, the left, the left, the left, and the central army facing the Western Wu cavalry. Instead, they lined up at the front of the battlefield with 1 people on the left, front, and right. There are 5000 people in the central army, and [-] people in the rear as a reserve.

Tang Linfen and Gu Mang each led [-] cavalry to guard the flanks. Looking down from above, the formation of the Longbow Army was more inclined to attack.

In contrast, the infantry formation of Western Wu appeared to be thicker, with 3 people desperately pressing forward on the front line with a length of about three miles, 2 as a backup, and [-] cavalry on the left and right to surround the flanks.

As time went by, Tang Youzhi drew [-] elite troops from the central army to defend the right-wing formation.

The strength here is relatively weaker, and in addition to being attacked by the Ten Thousand Qingqi from Western Wu before, it has already shown a shaky trend. If the main general Hong Wu hadn't fought hard at the head of the soldiers, he might have already broken the formation.

The addition of the new force re-stabilized the overall formation of the Longbow Army. Xie Lin, who observed this scene, did not show any panic. He kept sending heralds to urge the three ten thousand commanders who commanded the infantry ahead, ordering them to defeat each other at all costs. .

His gaze would occasionally turn to the northeast, and only at this time would there be a hint of worry.

There is no need to worry about the strength of the Ruijin Battalion. Even if they can't eat the Zang Fengwei, there is no problem in withdrawing to the main battlefield in time.Just as Shen Danmo was able to give Pei Yue a complete piece of information about Western Wu, Xie Lin and Zhang Qingbai also knew the details of Daliang.In the entire northern battlefield, there is only Tibetan Fengwei as a support soldier, and there will be no second cavalry in addition.In this case, the Ruijin Battalion would not be in any danger on the entire northern front. Even if something happened, Fang Duanwu would bring his subordinates back.

But the fighting on the main battlefield was so fierce, and the Ruijin Battalion had not returned for a long time, which made Xie Lin have to worry.

This armored cavalry is a fine cavalry that he has spent countless efforts to build, and it is also the confidence of his official residence as the general of Zhendong.

Pressing down on the worry in his heart, Xie Lin's eyes refocused on the battle situation in front of him.

When Liang Jun's formation finally loosened, the general from a poor family jumped on his mount, turned his head to look at the last [-] cavalry in his formation, and ordered in a deep voice: "You guys cut in from the right wing of the battlefield, and take the Liang Jun directly. Coach Tang Youzhi!"

The leading general looked excited, and immediately responded with clasped fists: "The last general obeys the order!"

"Beat the drums, march!"

Xie Lin said these four words with great firmness.

With the continuous sound of Huang Zhong Da Lu's drums, the battle situation on the plain suddenly became extremely fierce.

The [-] infantry of Western Wu swept forward and rushed to Liang Jun's forward position with nearly three times the force advantage.

After the two ten thousand cavalrymen heard the sound of the drum, they changed their previous combat style of siege and harassment as a supplement, and immediately launched the most violent attack on the rear wings of the Liang army.Tang Linfen and Gu Mang had already received Tang Youzhi's order, and had already replenished their physical strength during the previous rest, so they naturally went forward without fear.

As soon as they made contact, Tang and Gu sensed that something was wrong. The Western Wu cavalry's offensive was completely reckless, and they almost broke through their formation and approached the pawns in their own formation.While quickly reporting the news to Tang Youzhi, the two led their subordinates to fight to the death with the West Wu people, and stopped each other very hard.

However, their strength is only half of the opponent's. Facing the famous Western Wu iron cavalry, they may not be able to last for too long.

When Tang Youzhi received this news, he also noticed that a cavalry of thousands of people bypassed the central area where the fighting was the most tragic, and entered from an extremely narrow space on the right, and the target was him, the Marquis of Jining. .

As I said before, in this era of very inefficient communication capabilities, the transfer of large armies is a difficult and complicated subject. No matter how careful Tang Youzhi is, it is impossible to do it seamlessly.It's just that Xie Lin was able to accurately grasp this fleeting loophole, which Tang Youzhi did not expect.

At this time, he had no intention of evaluating Xie Lin's ability, and immediately ordered: "Order Cheng Ziqian to lead the army to support the front line."

The generals and advisers beside him looked at him in surprise.

The [-] infantry led by Cheng Ziqian was the last trump card in his hand. Now Xie Lin's strategic purpose was clearly revealed. He used the crowd tactics to trap the infantry of the Liang army, and at the same time used three cavalry to intersperse at high speed to execute beheading.Even if he didn't intend to retreat, shouldn't Cheng Ziqian be allowed to guard the central army?
Facing the slightly hesitant herald, Tang Youzhi roared angrily, "Go and deliver the order!"
