Chapter 4 The wise man is too late(2/2)
"yes!"
"Let them all go to the right wing and assist Cheng Pu!" Gongsun Xun suddenly ordered solemnly. "Tell them not to hold back, I want to see direct results in the shortest possible time!"
"Of course it's okay to let General Hengye (Gao Shun) go to the west, but in this case, wouldn't the door in front of us be wide open?" Tian Feng asked before he could. "What's the general's plan? Is he trying to lure the enemy? I'm sorry.
Frankly speaking, most of the enemy's troops are armored men with shields. Once they approach, even if our troops encircle them, they may not be able to capture them immediately."
"It's not to lure the enemy, and I have no strategy!" Gongsun Xun replied solemnly. "I just want to see how they respond... Anyway, our army's central army and reserve team are all cavalry, while their army's central army is mostly cavalry.
The big-shielded warriors...are they still worried about being faced by them and squeezing them to death with their shields? In short, you can do this without suffering any disadvantages!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but Gongsun Xun had already given the order directly.
On the other side, once the generals of the central army such as Gao Shun and Zhao Yun received the order, they immediately became orderly. The cavalry blocked the front row of the infantry and stood up with large shields. Then they retreated in turn, causing Yuan Jun's central army to advance almost continuously, causing
There were screams. Without the need for a military intelligence report, Yuan Shao and Chen Gong had already noticed something strange here.
They saw with their own eyes that the world-famous Yokoye general Gao Shun, whom they regarded as their important enemy in advance, actually took the initiative to lead the trapped camp to vacate the frontal battlefield, and turned to the west with the cavalry support of the general Zhao who had defeated Wen Chou before.
.
"Raise your spear!"
After a while, in front of a battle formation somewhere in the east, the Youzhou cavalry of Tian Yu's army had just circled the flank of a Yuan army and fired a volley. Seeing the Changshan cavalry of Zhao Yun's army arriving, they cooperated skillfully and immediately fired at them.
Walking eastward, he made way for tactical space, and Zhao Yun galloped over with a thousand cavalry from his headquarters, all raising their spears under the orders of their superiors.
Instead of continuing with a round of long-range strikes, they actually have to charge and trample them directly with a spear?
Yuan's army, which had just suffered a round of arrows, did not dare to neglect. The spearmen among them immediately gathered in the direction of the cavalry, then raised their spears and faced each other from a distance! The infantry who were prepared for defense were on the flanks.
With proper protection behind you, you are not afraid of cavalry charges!
However, when Zhao Yun, who was charging forward, came to the enemy's formation, he chose the same retreat route as Tian Yu's troops had done before. He made a turn and drew an arc in front of the enemy's formation, and then he was more than ten steps away from the opponent.
The distance passed by the enemy's formation and they slipped into the strategic space specially reserved for the cavalry in Cheng Pu's formation.
It seemed that it was just a threat, or that he was simply frightened by the tight defense of the opponent's formation and had no choice but to give up his intention to charge.
However, just when Yuan Jun, who had raised his spear, was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a loud roar from the enemy general who was leading the charge and passed by the formation, and gave the order with all his strength:
"Throw!"
A simple syllable. Even though Yuan Jun heard it on the battlefield, he didn't know what it meant. But it didn't matter. As the cavalry following Zhao Yun turned around, they used the momentum of their horses to throw out their spears at the corner.
, Yuan Jun, who was on guard with his spear on the opposite side, experienced the power of this syllable with huge casualties!
They never expected that the cavalry on the battlefield would actually throw their main battle spears just for a single kill! Moreover, an entire cavalry troop threw spears at them one after another!
It should be noted that spear throwing is one of the common tactical actions on the battlefield regardless of whether one is riding or riding, and it is extremely lethal. However, this kind of thing is usually done by a single soldier in a desperate situation or during a pursuit. In fact,
Regardless of cavalry or infantry, their main battle spears are not designed for throwing at all. Once thrown, it is difficult to recover! If the throw misses, it will be picked up by the opponent and used instead!
As for spears specifically used for throwing, specially designed collective spear throwing tactics certainly exist and are widespread, but they are more popular in Rome and its surrounding areas thousands of miles away. The Eastern Empire, at least the Han Dynasty at this time
Empires are indeed rare.
And to be honest, although the damage was huge and the effect was excellent, a thousand-man cavalry almost defeated the defense of two thousand Yuan troops in one round, but the sergeants of the two armies who saw this tactic from a distance were surprised.
I didn't even think that the Changshan cavalry carrying the Zhao banner was very wise...until the cavalry threw their spears and got out of the way, the famous trap banner company appeared behind the cavalry with more than a thousand capable soldiers, and then again
Rush into the enemy formation on foot and massacre the enemy troops who have lost the protection of their formation.
Yuan's army, which numbered 2,000 men, collapsed almost immediately and became the first organized unit on the entire battlefield to abandon their helmets and armor. Their general was named Zhonglang for protecting Yuan Shao's family.
The former leader of the Black Mountain Bandits, Tao Sheng, the former Huang Xiaoli, was also directly killed on the spot by the wolf-like attack of the trapped camp, but he did not know who took advantage of him.
Zhao Yun led his troops back, calmly followed behind the trapped camp to retrieve his main battle spear, and then went straight to the flank of the trapped camp, trying to help the opponent continue to expand the results of the battle.
A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Shao and Chen Gong, who were shocked by the sudden and large advance of the front army, received a military intelligence report from the left wing in the west, but they once again fell into a strange confrontation.
It may be wrong to call it a confrontation, but on the surface it is indeed the case... Yuan Shao and Chen Gong stood on two cars respectively, facing each other, but neither one could make a decision.
Yuan Shao is more resourceful than decisive. At this critical moment, he is expecting Chen Gong, who has always been able to make decisions for him, to speak. However, Chen Gong wants to make a decision but falls into a confused mood for a moment. At the same time,
, he would never allow himself to be so indecisive anymore.
The last time Guo Tu came here, his silence could be considered as his refusal to remove the trap and continued to maintain the consumption of the decoy cavalry and the immobility of the forbidden troops. But what about these two times?
The Chinese Army had just reported that they had successfully advanced after the sudden withdrawal of the enemy troops in front, but the equipment of the troops was not designed for cavalry and needed support... At that time, Chen Gong had already hesitated. He really didn't know that this was a trap to lure the enemy.
The trap is still another tactic, so I hesitated for a while and didn't dare to send reinforcements!
However, what if Yuan's army is not launched and the front army is trapped and eventually trapped by the cavalry?
But this time, the war in the west faced the most straightforward collapse of the organizational structure since the war began, which made him anxious and had divergent thoughts on Gongsun Xun's true purpose!
What exactly is the other party going to do?
"Gongtai, what exactly is Gongsun Wenqi going to do?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but ask sincerely on the drum cart. "How should we respond? Should we send reinforcements? Which reinforcements should be sent? Where should we send them?
Go? To help the defense in the west, or to help the Chinese army advance?"
"Lord, don't hesitate!" During the confrontation, Guo Tu went and came back, but he raised his voice to persuade Yuan Shao in public. "In front of me, the Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo was fighting in person, and our cavalry could hardly hold on anymore.
…Please, my lord, make a decision quickly!”
Yuan Shao nodded briefly: "What do you think, Gongze?"
Guo Tu opened his mouth to speak.
At this moment, Chen Gong interrupted the opponent almost out of instinct, and said first: "My lord, as the matter comes to this, we can only give it a try. Send the Taishan soldiers of the Forbidden Department to the front of the Chinese army to respond to Baima Yiyi."
...Anyway, I was just going all out for a three-point victory. The opportunity is here, how can we wait any longer?!"
Yuan Shao took a long breath and became awe-inspiring again: "Gongtai said it well, no more hesitation, send my military order to the Forbidden Department and go forward! Go straight to where the white horse is!"
"Yu Jin moved!" A moment later, Lou Zibo, who had been confused for a while under the white horse, suddenly followed Gongsun Xun's gaze and noticed a rough movement somewhere in the opposite military formation, and then suddenly realized. "No matter where he goes, the enemy's army
The triangular formation in the east has been demolished! Lord, you can send troops!"
"Bo Jin!" Gongsun Xun's expression remained as usual, and he turned back to look at Xu Rong, who had been waiting for a long time. "Yicong and you, I will station myself in the Yunchang Formation, with 11,000 elite cavalry, don't worry about anything else, as long as
You, Yide, and Wen Yuan will pass through the gap for me and gather the righteous men behind! This battle will be a great success!"
Xu Rong leaned over to accept the order, but when he raised his head, Gongsun Xun had already galvanized his horse and headed eastward.
————I am the dividing line going straight east————
"At the end of the Han Dynasty, Taizu of this dynasty was in a hurry to attack Yuan Shao. Shao appointed Chen Gong as the general shogunate to take charge of the entire battle. It was difficult to decide the outcome of the battle, so Taizu could not do anything. Xun You, who was by his side, offered a plan and said: 'Chen Gongtai has wisdom but lacks it.
If you have a plan but are late, especially if you do something arbitrary, you can take it in a chaotic way! 'Taizong followed his words, the palace was focused on one thing and not on the other, making decisions and making mistakes." - "Shishuo Xinyu". Appreciation Chapter
