Letting Lin Tianshuai press the back line and serve as the reserve team is obviously to prevent Lin Tianshuai from stealing credit.
Lin Tianshuai's reputation in terms of being in the limelight on the battlefield was so great that the generals had to guard against him.
But Ma Gui and Xuan Zhongzhong would dare to play such tricks with Lin Tianshuai, and of course they are "confident".
Because Ma Gui knew very well that Lin Tianshuai's current obsession was to attack the city first.
Lin Tianshuai was not very interested in occasions such as large army field battles where it was difficult to demonstrate personal heroism.
No matter how hard we fight in the field, there will never be a "first in", so if we ask Lin Tianshuai to give way, Lin Tianshuai, who has no shortage of military achievements, will not be angry.
Two days later, the two sides confronting each other on the Taehwa River began to fight. Oh no, it was a fight. The Japanese army who had control of the "water" crossed the river first.
Besides, Daoshan Castle is on the north shore. If we want to save Daoshan Castle, it would be impossible for Jiang to do so.
Lin Tianshuai had entrusted the command of the battle to Ma Gui. After eating early in the morning, he could only watch like a spectator, silently watching Ma Gui organize the various units and organize the formation.
Then he watched one team after another enter their predetermined positions. Anyway, the positions were all in front of him, Lin Tianshuai.
In the long-term security war with the Northern Lu, the Ming army had become accustomed to the use of vehicles.
Chariots can not only flexibly transport heavy weapons, but also serve as temporary obstacles to resist the Northern Cavalry, making them an indispensable and important tool for marching operations.
So Lin Tianshuai saw from behind that countless tanks were spread out in front of the vast battlefield, one after another, forming several large circles.
This is a habitual positioning operation after the Ming Dynasty official army and the Northern Lu cavalry fought too many battles.
Then the officers and soldiers unloaded a large number of small artillery pieces from the vehicles and made preparations for debugging and firing.
There are three roads on the left, center and right. Each road has such a front consisting of tanks and small artillery.
After visually observing that the Japanese troops on the opposite side entered the firing range, drums sounded one after another, and then the officers and soldiers began to fire cannons.
No matter how small a small artillery is, its range is farther than that of a firecracker. The "iron cannon" in the hands of the Japanese army can only cause effective damage within a range of twenty feet at most. At this time, it will definitely not be able to reach the Ming army.
After several rounds of shelling, the Japanese army's lineup became chaotic. At this time, the cavalry who were ready to attack on both sides of the vehicle and artillery positions began to charge in a roundabout way.
The Japanese soldiers in the first three rows of "Teppanyaki Ashigaru", also known as fire gunmen, hurriedly began to prepare for shooting.
Under normal circumstances, the Japanese soldiers would fire at most three rounds, and the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty army would rush in front of them.
Then the Ming cavalry would use their flexible mobility to hack and kill or shoot arrows at the first few rows.
Usually, as long as the first few rows of elite warriors are defeated, the Japanese army will begin to collapse, and the Japanese soldiers behind will definitely take the lead in fleeing.
If the Japanese army failed to be moved for a while, the Ming Dynasty cavalry would withdraw and use artillery to fire several rounds at the Japanese army.
The routine of the field battle between the Ming Dynasty official army and the Japanese soldiers was basically the same. The Japanese soldiers were basically defeated from weapons to tactics.
Therefore, the Japanese soldiers would try their best to avoid field battles with the Ming Dynasty troops unless they had no other choice.
Although today's scene is relatively large and the battlefield is divided into several pieces, each piece is roughly the same.
Lin Tailai, the general who held the battle and captain of the general reserve team, led more than a thousand soldiers and watched the excitement from behind.
For safety, Lin Tianshuai put on the eighty kilograms of heavy armor. But at the same time, to save energy, Lin Tianshuai did not stroll back and forth.
Everything seemed normal. The Japanese army's formation was constantly retreating after being charged by the Ming Dynasty cavalry, and there were already signs of collapse.
Because the number of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers was relatively small, in order to defeat the Japanese pirates as soon as possible, Ma Gui commanded the cavalry and concentrated his efforts on attacking the Japanese pirates.
As if suddenly reaching a critical point, the Japanese pirates' central army could not hold on any longer and began to retreat significantly, including the Japanese pirates' left wing.
Are the Japanese pirates about to collapse? Ma Gui suddenly became excited and took his servants to suppress them personally!
After today's victory, he, Ma Gui, is also a famous general who can defeat more with less in foreign battles! What Li Rusong can do, he, Ma Gui, can do too!
Unknowingly, the Ming army moved toward the Japanese pirates' center and left flank.
This is the principle of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, seizing the weakness and then beating him to death! After completely defeating the Japanese pirates' center and left wing, the right wing will naturally be unable to fight alone.
The thousands of infantrymen who were lagging behind were preparing to march forward in formation, under the command of their respective generals, trying their best to keep up with the cavalry.
Da Yun, an officer in the Luebiao Battalion, asked Lin Tianshuai what to do now.
Lin Tailai, who has never been greedy for credit, instructed: "Although the situation is great, we are the reserve team today and will not move!"
Dayun smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief is kind-hearted, today I want to do good things to the end."
As he spoke, Dayun suddenly closed his mouth and looked to the southeast in confusion.
The error-free version is being read! The first novel to be published. Read it.
Lin Tianshuai saw this and looked sideways, only to see a flash of red appear at the edge of his field of vision, moving quickly towards this side.
Others were still wondering what this red was, but Lin Tianshuai reacted quickly and shouted: "Chibei! The Japanese pirates' Chibei cavalry!"
Why is it called "Chibei"? It means that even the places where people and horses can be painted are painted red.
There was a slight commotion among the thousands of rear infantrymen who were lining up. Lin Tailai shouted again: "Back off! Use the vehicle as a base and form a defensive formation!"
Then he ordered Dayun: "You all mount up and raise all my flags. Be sure to be alert!"
Lin Tianshuai's more than a thousand standard battalions of personal guards are all cavalry. If they mount their horses and raise flags, they will be very eye-catching among the infantry in the rear formation.
Dayun wanted to give some advice, but Lin Tianshuai said without question: "I just want to give the Japanese pirates a target and let them rush towards me! Buy time for others!"
It has to be said that thanks to many years of fighting security wars with the Northern Lu, the Ming army had extremely rich experience in dealing with the sudden attack of enemy cavalry.
After Lin Tianshuai roared a few times, the infantrymen who were left behind immediately retreated to the position surrounded by chariots and hurriedly began to prepare for defense.
Although it cannot be done in a hurry, as long as a large number of vehicles are placed here, it will be a huge obstacle to the cavalry.
Lin Tianshuai also temporarily retreated to the car formation. He looked at the more than 80 kilograms of heavy armor on his body and then at the guards around him. He still felt quite safe.
Among the more than a thousand soldiers of the standard battalion, except for the 300 servants brought from Suzhou who may have average combat effectiveness, the remaining thousand are all selected elite soldiers.
After more than a dozen military flags originally used as a guard of honor for the trip were raised, the vanguard of the Japanese army's Chibei army rushed towards this direction.
Everyone knows that to capture the thief first, capture the king. If the handsome flag is here, then he must rush to this side first.
When the red Japanese cavalry got closer, Lin Tianshuai, who was standing behind the car formation, reached out and picked up the spear, but gave up the idea of mounting his horse.
Because the height of the Japanese pirate knight, including his men and horses, is about the same as his own height, I feel that he may be more flexible when fighting on foot to face the enemy.
