Chapter 905 Battle of the Three Emperors (10)
"The Art of War: Strategy": "Anyone who fights is in harmony and wins with strange things."
Li Jiyu was in the power of Gao Yang, and observed Gao Huan's formation, with east and west being less than west, and immediately felt that he had found an opportunity.
This must be the flaw that Gao Huan revealed when he wanted to retreat. He must bite Gao Huan and cannot let him retreat back to Lintong.
Seeing that as long as Gao Huan's Western Front Corps had the opportunity to encircle Gao Huan's Eastern Front Corps and Gan Jun's base camp in Zhaozhuang, Li Jiyu's face flushed and he instantly reached an intracranial orgasm.
"Transfer the order, Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Yong, and Zhao Liangdong, all rushed down and defeated the enemy in front." Li Jiyu raised his arms and shouted, and his roar shook the earth in Guanzhong.
The war drums were beating urgently, and the soldiers raised their heads and blew the trumpet. The Tang army, which had just occupied Gaopo Town, immediately rectified its formation, and the infantry lined up to form a long line.
"Let's go!" Zhao Liangdong shouted.
Tang Army musketeers resisted the muskets on their shoulders, lined up in three rows, followed the drum beats, and walked down the high slope together.
In the rear of the infantry, a large number of swords and shield soldiers followed closely behind, and the cavalry and artillery teams continued to garrison on the high ground.
"Boom boom boom" On the high ground, the Tang army's artillery fired volleys, and massed smoke of gunpowders. Three or four kilograms of artillery shells leaped over the Tang army's head and smashed towards the Sun Chuanting Corps lined up below the high slope. The artillery shells splashed in the army formation group, splashing mud.
The musketeers of the Gan Army lined up in five rows in the wilderness, and the soldiers stood still with guns in their hands. From time to time, the Gan Army was hit by artillery shells, and the soldiers in the back row quickly moved forward to fill the gap.
Under the Ganjun battle, Sun Chuanting stood behind him on a horse, with spears behind him, and his sharp spearheads and dog teeth intertwined.
At this time, watching countless Tang troops rush down from the high ground, like mountain torrents and mudslides erupting, making Sun Chuanting look serious and shouted coldly, "The enemy rushed down with high altitude. When the battle was about to happen, the muskets started and the bullet retreated in the air, and the spear formation stepped forward to pick up the enemy."
"Here!" Ganjun generals yelled at the request.
"Mountain! Mountain! Mountain!" Sun Chuanting hung up the "Mountain" flag, and the soldiers in the array roared, clasped their weapons tightly, ready to face the attack of the Tang army.
In the base camp of the Zhaozhuang Ganjun, Yang Yan said panic: "Your Majesty, Li Jiyu rushed down from Gaopo Town and began to attack Supervisor Sun."
Gao Huan's face was calm and he just sneered, "I am a little aggressive and Li Jiyu will take the bait."
While speaking, a "rumbling" sound of artillery suddenly came from the eastern front. The cannon formation of the Gan Army rose up and smoke from gunpowders, and the shells roared towards the main force of the Western Army pressing up along the official road.
After the Gan Army used the hollow formation group tactics, the cavalry from all sides were not the first to appear.
On the front of the eastern line, about six or seven miles wide, the Western Army musketeers carried muskets and drum beats, listened to the melodious military music and walked forward.
After the infantry was lined up online, Li Dingguo was on the war horse, with tens of thousands of coalition cavalry following behind him, and his horses were scattered, pressing towards the Ganjun front with overwhelming momentum.
In the northern suburbs of Lantian County, under the banner of the coalition army, Zhang Xianzhong rode a horse on a hill and observed the battlefield with a thousand-mile mirror.
"Report to Your Majesty, the east and west sides launched an attack on the Gan army at the same time." The scout rushed over and kept reporting on the situation on the battlefield.
Zhang Xianzhong's main attack direction was set on the eastern front. Unexpectedly, since Li Jiyu also launched an attack, he frowned, "Send a quick horse to contact Li Jiyu and report to me on the western front at any time."
The battles carried out by 550,000 troops cover a wide area of land and cannot be fully informed by the flag and trumpet. Many specific orders must be conveyed by the cavalry.
The headquarters of the coalition forces was located in the center behind the two eastern and western legions to reinforce the battlefield at any time. Since Li Jiyu's Western Front Corps occupied Gaopo Town, the rising Gaopo Town in the west. The western front line advanced from the south of Gaopo Town to the north of Gaopo Town, and the view of the battlefield was blocked by Gaopo Town, making Zhang Xianzhong unable to directly observe the situation on the Western Front.
Li Jiyu stood in Gaopo Town, staring at the Tang soldiers rushing down, clenched his fists, "Warriors of the Tang Dynasty, give me a breath."
At this time, a team of cavalry rushed to the high ground, and the leader immediately asked: "His Majesty the Emperor of Tang, His Majesty the Emperor of the West, asked, why did he launch an attack?"
Li Jiyu turned his head and found that it was a cavalry sent by Zhang Xianzhong. The other party's questioning tone made him feel a little unhappy, but he still responded loudly, "Please tell my father that I will defeat the frontal enemy, encircle Gao Huan's main force, and win this war for the coalition forces."
At this time, the Tang army, who rushed down the high slope, braved the artillery fire of the Gan army and quickly approached the Gan army, and was about to approach the range of the musket.
Sun Chuanting looked at the Tang army, who was pressing over like a mudslide, and raised his hand.
"Release the gun!" The infantry on the front line raised their muskets one after another and aimed at the Tang army advancing like a wall.
At this time, the Tang army was advancing. When Gan Jun raised his gun, a whistle sounded in the army. The soldiers stepped on two steps on the spot, and the entire line stopped instantly.
During the Hedong War, Tang Jun realized that if he wanted to get close to the enemy like Gan Jun, he would use a platoon to defeat him with a platoon.
If it is another army, you can withstand the opponent's shooting, approach thirty steps, shoot, and defeat the opponent's front.
But if the opponent is Ganjun, then forget it. I am afraid that the enemy will be defeated by the Ganjun musket before getting close to thirty steps.
Therefore, when the Tang army saw Gan's army raise their guns and prepare to shoot, they all stood immediately, and the first row of soldiers raised their muskets one after another.
The breeze blew, blew away the thin smoke from the shelling between the two armies, revealing two rows of people's walls that lasted for miles.
The Gan Army was red and the Tang Army was black. The soldiers in the front row of the two armies raised their muskets and aimed at them. Seeing countless poles on the opposite side lined and aimed at their muskets, they all had their throats dry.
"put!"
"shooting!"
Almost at the same moment, the officers of both armies roared at the same time, and the soldiers pulled the trigger together.
"Bang bang bang" On the two lines, gunfire exploded like thunder, and countless muskets sprayed out gun flames at the same time, and white smoke rose up.
The rising smoke was like two white dragons, spreading rapidly to the wings from the middle of the front, forming two parallel smoke belts.
Between the two armies' fronts, the rain of bullets intertwined, forming a large net of death.
In an instant, countless soldiers in the front row trembled, and blood mist rose on their chests. On the entire line, musketeers fell to the ground in rows, and the bodies formed a thick line on the ground.
In one round of shooting, thousands of people fell from both sides on the front lines, but in specific comparison, the Tang army suffered more casualties. After all, half of them had assembled coercion guns.
"The first column retreats, the second column comes out!" The general of Gan Army roared loudly.
After firing a shot, the soldiers did not have time to see the results, and did not care about the fallen comrades, so they raised muskets and retreated from the gaps in the queue. Instead of standing in the back row to load, they retreated directly to the spear formation and went to the rear of the entire army.
"Bang bang bang!" The second row of the two armies fired again, and the projectiles roared out, killing the musketeers on the opposite side.
The tragic level of shooting and killing people was scared by the soldiers of both armies, and they just wanted to finish a shot quickly and then quickly retreat.
"Bang bang bang!" After the second row shot, the soldiers hurriedly retreated, and then the third row.
The third row of musketeers in the army and the fourth row of musketeers in the back lifted their guns at the same time, and the two rows of musketeers interlaced and pulled the trigger together.
In an instant, the whistling projectiles swept across the earth like a strong wind, and the Tang army opposite fell to the ground like mowing grass.
At this time, the three rounds were shot, and the spear formation and sword and shield soldiers behind had already rushed over.
"For the Tang Dynasty, kill me!" Tian Jianxiu shouted loudly and waved his sword hard.
"Kill!" Countless Tang soldiers immediately raised their weapons and shouted and rushed into the smoke caused by musket shooting.
Under the Ganjun battle, Sun Chuanting immediately waved his hand, "Retreat the musket, intercept them on the long spear formation!"
"Kill!" The musketeers of the Gan Army raised their guns and retreated. The spear roared angrily, and they all put down the spears, like hedgehogs and tanks, facing the Tang army rushing towards the wild.
The soldiers of the two armies ran quickly and quickly collided violently.
