Section 590, 591 Raiders Sichuan ... Jiangling decisive battle, such tactics!(2/3)
They are brave enough, and the fighting between horses and horses is very good. Moreover, once the Tubo cavalry descends from the plateau, they will become extremely powerful and have very strong individual combat power.
"Ship Yu." Lu Wenhuan and Yuxi Timur stood side by side on the lookout car in the military formation, pointing at the coalition formation, "The rebels are so powerful that they are really a strong enemy. There are so many enemies and we are few. Does Yuxi have a good idea?"
Yuxi Timur frowned: "The rebels have a large number of powerful firearms, which pose a great threat to the cavalry. Therefore, if the cavalry does not use cavalry to charge, they simply send cavalry around the bandit army and go to the southeast. In this way, Li Luo will not be allowed to pursue the chasing in order to rescue the southeast."
"But they are mostly infantrymen, how can they catch up with the cavalry? This will make them exhausted."
"Hahaha!" Lv Wenhuan laughed, "What the hero sees is similar. What he thinks is exactly the same as Yushuai. Then do that."
This is really the best and most difficult tactic to deal with.
So what if the rebels are powerful?
I will not rush to the battlefield or fight to the decisive battle, but will harass and rob you with cavalry.
After Lu Wenhuan finished laughing, his dark sword eyebrows frowned, "But in this way, the creatures will be devastated."
Yuxi Timuer sneered, "That's what they deserve. If you want to blame, just blame Li Luoxiaoyin for rebellion."
Lu Wenhuan said: "Although cavalry harassment is feasible, I am still worried. Li Luo would not have thought that since he could think of it, he would not have been prepared."
Yuxi Timuer also stroked his braid and pondered, thinking about Li Luo's way of dealing with it. Li Luo is a famous general and it is impossible for him to have no solution. So what is his solution?
The two of them guessed well, and Li Luo, Wen Tianxiang and others were also mentioning the cavalry harassment tactics of the Yuan army.
"King, the Yuan army will definitely go out with all the cavalry and harass our rear. In addition to what the king said, "Besides sticking to the pass and strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, there is another way." Wen Tianxiang pointed at the Yuan army and said.
The king and his minister already knew that the Yuan army would definitely adopt the tactics of infantry defending the camps and cavalry burning, killing and looting everywhere.
Lu Wenhuan and Yuxi Timur were both cunning people. The Tubo cavalry was not good at cavalry and shooting, so the Yuan army could not use the Tubo cavalry to fight the Tang army, which had the advantage of firearms, which would be too disadvantageous.
The best way is to harass the cavalry tactics.
This is indeed difficult to deal with for the coalition forces mainly composed of infantry.
"What did Mr. Wen think of?" Li Luo said.
Wen Tianxiang said: "Our army is still setting up camps in an emergency. When the Yuan army saw it, they must have thought that our army had just arrived and it was getting late, and at least they would not launch a decisive battle today."
"They probably thought that our army would not take on the battle tomorrow as soon as possible. The Yuan army infantry must strengthen the camp and need cavalry protection, so their cavalry will not leave immediately."
Li Luo understood, "Mr. Wen means to attack immediately while the Yuan army could not imagine it?"
"Not bad." Wen Tianxiang nodded, "Our army is not fully prepared, and the Yuan army is not ready. According to the principle, it will never start today. Because the decisive battle at this time is a chaotic battle. But our army has firearms and many soldiers. As long as the chaos is in order, it can catch the Yuan army off guard."
Li Luo really didn't expect this method. His previous method was to let the Southeast defenders stick to the pass, let Huguang strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and prevent the Yuan army cavalry from entering the southeast easily, and then first eliminate the Yuan army infantry, and then turn around and slowly suppress the Tubo cavalry who became bandits.
But Wen Tianxiang's method made his eyes lit up.
Yes, the two armies have just met today. Hundreds of thousands of troops have just arrived. They must be repaired and camped. It is impossible to fight when they meet. There are not hundreds or thousands of people.
At least we have to observe and test each other for a day or two?
With so many people, both sides were not ready for a while, so how could they fight when they came up?
Li Luo looked at the army busy setting up camp and ordered: "Military discussion, prepare to attack."
He wants to... take the initiative to attack and disrupt the chaos!
Li Luo issued a military order, and the troops quickly began to secretly organize their troops and put all the military slaves outside, looking like they were still busy setting up camps.
With so many soldiers and horses, it is impossible to organize them quickly. But as long as they are not messy, they can attack.
In the Yuan army camp, the Tubo cavalry were feeding horses.
Just now, Yuxi Timur had already ordered the generals of the tribes to leave Jiangling tomorrow and divide the troops into multiple ways to plunder and harass them.
Yuxi Timur said: "After the cavalry leave, the rebels will definitely attack the camp fiercely, and the camp must be strong. General Lu, the infantry will stay in the camp and leave them all to you."
His plan was to follow the cavalry himself.
Lu Wenhuan nodded. Even if the rebels had powerful artillery, it would not be possible to break through the strong camp that he had occupied for many days.
As long as a large number of cavalry harassed the rebels' rear, Li Luo would definitely divide his troops to rescue him, and the pressure on his camp would be even lighter.
The more violent the cavalry made a fuss in the rear of the rebels, the safer the infantry camp would be.
But before the few people carefully discussed the details, they suddenly heard the sound of dongdong war drums, and then a general rushed in hurriedly.
"Well, Yan! The rebels suddenly attacked the entire line!"
What!
The generals of the Yuan army stood up together, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
The rebels have just arrived, and hundreds of thousands of troops have not yet established a stable foothold. They will attack without saying a word?
Come from afar, there is no need to set up camp, no need to repair, no need to restore horsepower?
They fought for decades, but they never encountered this situation.
"Hurry up! Blow the trumpet and drum! Issuing orders to let the cavalry get on the horse!" Yuxi Timur rushed out of the tent in shock, stood on the high car and saw it, and was stunned.
I saw hundreds of elephants coming from the position four or five miles wide, driven away by tens of thousands of rebel cavalry behind them, and behind them were countless rebel infantry.
The entire attack team seemed very chaotic and had no formation at all, but because of the overwhelming number of people, it looked unstoppable.
People are everywhere in the mountains!
Relying on the advantage of military strength, the rebels rushed up in such a chaotic situation.
The shouts were astonishing as if the tide of anger surged.
But the problem is that the Yuan army is not ready either! Not only are the infantry not in a complete team, but the cavalry are still feeding horses.
The two armies were five or four miles apart, but the elephant was driven by the rebel cavalry and was only two miles away from the Yuan army in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the Yuan army cavalry finally stepped onto the war horses in a mess and rushed to fight. The infantry also hurriedly set up shield chariots to line up to stop the elephants.
"boom!"
Hundreds of elephants rushed into the messy formation of the Yuan army, and the cavalry behind them also crashed into the messy Yuan army cavalry like a torrent.
At this time, the quality of the Tang army's infantry was revealed. Under the leadership of the warriors, they used small teams as units to attack without any chaotic attacks. Moreover, because the Tang army had been training and running for a long time, the distance of these miles was nothing.
The Tang army has good endurance, so that it can persist in fighting without any need for repair.
What was even more speechless was that the 20,000 to 30,000 musketeers who had originally fought on a regular basis actually rushed up with bayonets and archers.
The entire coalition forces of more than 300,000 attacks were very messy, but they had commands. They did not lose their establishment.
This is very similar to the assault tactics of the Japanese and Soviet troops in later generations, and it is unrestless.
The only thing that maintains the complete formation is the artillery guarded by more than 30,000 spearmen. The artillery moved forward in the hollow square formation of the spearmen under the pull of mules and horses.
Li Luo's central army and commander flag are also in this phalanx.
This square formation is also the only strict military formation on the entire battlefield at this time.
Moreover, this square matrix itself is a trap.
At this time, the two armies were already fighting each other in a mess. The Yuan army was not ready at all, but was hit by hundreds of elephants and suddenly became even more fierce. More than 30,000 cavalry of the Tang army followed the battle elephants into the Yuan army's infantry, and the Yuan army's infantry exploded with a bang.
However, it is hard to say that it is a collapse, because there is no military formation and they all fight for their own battles.
Some of the Tubo cavalry attacked the Tang cavalry, some attacked the coalition infantry, and some rumbled to attack the only strict Li Luozhong military formation, intending to kill the generals and seize the flag.
The battlefield was completely in chaos and it was completely a mess. Before Yuxi Timuer's military order had been spread to various departments, each department had spontaneously counterattacked.
They fight each other and become a mess.
The military orders of the Yuan army no longer work, and all the military orders of the coalition forces except Li Luo's Central Army formation were no longer useful.
Generals such as Yuxi Timuer and Lu Wenhuan looked at the chaotic battlefield in amazement, with a very difficult look on their faces.
What kind of battle is this?
Furious?
"Bang bang bang bang bang!" Tang armaments and weapons fired specifically at the Yuan cavalry. The chaotic Yuan cavalry fell off their horses, and the casualties were heavy. Many Tubo cavalry saw the Tang army muskets emitting black smoke. They were frightened and dared not go up.
The musket soldiers also shot in batches at places where the Yuan army cavalry was densely packed. When some Yuan army cavalry could not help but rush over, another group also fired, protecting and shooting alternately.
It can be said that although the Yuan army had many cavalry, it no longer became a whole combat force, but was defeated by the Tang army cavalry, coalition infantry, and musket soldiers to fight each other.
This is the most disadvantageous place.
There were about 40,000 cavalry spontaneously charged towards the last Li Luo's formation, attempting to kill Li Luo and other coalition generals.
But before they could reach the end, the hollow square artillery began to fire.
"put!"
"put!"
"Boom boom boom!"
More than a thousand cannons were furious, and the Tubo cavalry had never seen any formalities. Large pieces of fallen, and trampled on each other, the casualties were extremely heavy, and they were completely stunned.
By the time he rushed over under huge inertia, there were seven or eight thousand casualties, and the horse speed had dropped, and it was barely blocked by dense spearmen.
The remaining 30,000 cavalrymen were scared and their horse speed was lost. They could not break the spear formation at all, but were stuck by the spear formation.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the small cannon with fast loading speed fired again, and the Yuan cavalrymen were knocked over and over, and the well-crafted high-altitude chain mail could not resist the bombardment of the shells.
