Chapter 87
Wang Buxu didn't just pretend to be cool or anything like that.
But when it comes to the battlefield, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of luck.
No matter how thorough your preparations are, when luck is not on your side, you will still be blind.
There are suspect soldiers arranged by Yang Ye in front to carry them. Today's performance is more realistic than yesterday.
Yang Ye pulled back the horses that he had sent back, and made them run back and forth out of sight, creating the illusion that the cavalry was being mobilized.
As a result, Sima Xin, who did not have much actual combat experience, was naturally frightened.
So, who are you most afraid of in a war?
Two kinds of people!
The first type is Leng Tou Qing.
If Sima Xin is just a fool, I don't care about you. I have 100,000 people. Are you afraid of you?
After a while of command, they all came up and gave me a tug.
If he really did this, then Yang Ye would definitely be ruined, as well as Wang Buxu, who had not yet deployed his formation.
Although the opponent is very tired, but you haven't even deployed the formation, how much ability can you show?
The second type is still stupid.
Anyone without a brain knows that luck will not be on your side every time. You may succeed once or twice, but once you fail, you will almost be wiped out.
"Sir, why haven't you set up a formation yet?" Seeing the army behind him in a long snake formation, Yang Ye couldn't help but look confused and hurriedly ran to Wang Buxu's side.
"Sima Xin doesn't dare to move now. If we set up the formation later, we can damage less crops!" Wang Buxu said.
"If the common people know what Young Master is thinking, they will definitely be grateful. But Young Master, we must start our formation immediately. This is the last cover. Beyond this mound, you can see Sima Xin's army!" Yang Ye
He urged anxiously.
Wang Buxu nodded: "Array!"
Although the distance of ten miles is not yet reached, Wang Buxin will not deliberately care about it. The blame is on the weak terrain.
And Wang Buxu also thinks that what he has done is pretty good.
Throughout the ages, no army has formed its formation early.
When it is necessary to advance, the entire army should advance together to ensure the compactness and integrity of the formation?
Naturally, there are people responsible for commanding and mobilizing military formations, and these military princes are all experienced experts.
Different scales, the scale of each square array is also different.
In addition, the battle formation is not rigid and rigid, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the battlefield situation.
At this moment, Sima Xin chose a large formation of ten thousand people, that is, one formation of ten thousand people, and one formation of one hundred thousand people.
The advantage of this formation is that it uses the protruding 10,000 people to attract the enemy's attack. Once the enemy begins to attack the protruding part, the nine square formations behind it will press forward.
With the protrusion as the center, we will encircle the outside and attack from both inside and outside. If we don't have enough troops, we will have no choice but to retreat or be completely annihilated.
Because Wang Buxu did not have enough troops, he did not choose a large formation of 10,000 people. Instead, he chose a small formation of 3,000 people, and then the three small formations formed a combined formation, with an additional 1,000 reserve troops.
Under the protection of his own soldiers, Wang Buxu climbed up the slope and saw the somewhat sick Sima Xin's army.
Although his condition was not good, Wang Buxin still did not dare to be careless.
This is a field battle. No matter how elite his troops are, he is still dealing with the nominally serious Qin army.
Of course, after taking one look, Wang Buxuan suddenly felt bad!
"How many crossbows are there?" Wang Buxian asked with a dark face.
Yang Ye's report said there were strong crossbows, but he didn't say how many there were.
Looking at it now from a high place, Wang Buxian felt that there must be at least hundreds of powerful crossbows.
The maximum range of the powerful crossbow is about 800 meters, taking into account power loss, friction loss, etc.
Basically, at a distance of four hundred meters, as long as the offensive formation is maintained, it is no problem for a crossbow to directly penetrate three or four soldiers.
"About two hundred!" Yang Ye said.
Wang Buxu continued to frown, this battle was a bit difficult to fight.
The role of the guerrilla generals is only to drain their energy and make them exhausted.
But a tired person still has the energy to draw a bow or fire a crossbow as long as he doesn't fall asleep.
Even if the reaction is slower, it is just that he should have fired three arrows, but ended up shooting two arrows.
When the military strength is 3.33:1, does having one more arrow and one less arrow have any impact?
Although the back row is definitely unable to fire, even so, if they attack, they still need to withstand at least five to ten rounds of arrows from the opponent, and even more for powerful crossbows.
Faced with such a formation and such a situation, Wang Buxian first had to consider how to avoid casualties caused by arrows.
Only when the two sides engage in close combat can his advantage be reflected through his layout in the past few days.
At this time, the abilities of the generals on both sides will be tested.
The best way is to let the opponent take the initiative to attack. As a defensive side, the pressure will be slightly less.
And some powerful bosses often have several sets of tactics in mind before the war begins.
For example, Guan Ying, although he became a monk halfway, he told Wang Buxu several sets of his tactical ideas before sending out troops.
However, Wang Buqi was a little panicked now and had no idea at all.
The original idea was to let the guerrillas drag them down first and consume their energy, and then when the army came, they would just finish the work with a wave of harvest.
However, after arriving, I realized that I was still too young.
Attacking counties along the way was not only to cause trouble for the Qin army, but also to obtain some ordnance supplies from these counties.
Now, the 35,000 men under Wang Buxu's command, well, the 5,000 new recruits are still empty-handed. Their original equipment has been handed over to the regular army.
On the other hand, people look like gold when they go out.
This feels like going to the mall in the future. Although I don’t understand it, I have money, so I can just buy it...
"Huh? They seem to be planning to have dinner?" Wang Buxu vaguely saw a lot of people pushing carts with large buckets on them and entering the formation.
During the war, this kind of situation would never happen except when eating.
"Well, we are indeed ready for dinner!" Yang Ye nodded. He had seen this scene many times.
Wang Buxu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile: "With such good weather, wouldn't it be a waste to use it for eating? Prepare to attack! By the way, send people down to deliver the order. The formations should be arranged as they should be, and the soldiers should start eating.
Let’s eat!”
"Master, hello..." Yang Ye closed his mouth subconsciously and quickly changed his words: "Awesome..."
If this tells you how good or bad you are, young master, then let’s talk about it later!
Wang Buxu smiled slightly and said calmly that this was just a basic exercise!
"What you fight on the battlefield is nothing but spirituality. As a general, you must be good at seizing opportunities. Before our army went out, we had prepared three days of rations and distributed them to the soldiers. When they are hungry, they can eat anytime and anywhere, but they can only wait.
