Chapter 1316 Dispatching before the battle, Zhu Wu to Liu Min
"Let the three brothers Lin Chong, Qin Ming, and Yang Zhi take the lead and teach the other troops to hold the position. We will wait and see how Song Jiang's army responds, and we will take action by chance."
"Got the order!"
When Xiao Tang gave the order in a deep voice, the three generals Lin Chong, Qin Ming, and Yang Zhi, together with their deputy generals, immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order. They were all covered in armor. When they returned to the formation of their troops, those who were sitting on their horses with saddles and shackles
The neat cavalrymen, with swords and shields and spears in hand, originally stood motionless, blending in with the desolate atmosphere of the entire military formation. However, when the generals who were about to return to the formation began to shout orders to mobilize their troops, they
, the military formation that was originally as dignified as Yuan Tingyue suddenly seemed to be showing a murderous aura.
On the opposite side, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Liu Min and others were sitting on their horses. They looked at the slowly unfolding formation on the opposite side with solemn expressions. War drums roared, horns sounded, and Xiao Tang's army was accompanied by waves of people in front of the formation.
Wearing strong armor, the cavalrymen of Tianxiong, Benlei, and Tianbo all raised their long spears with flat ends, triangular blades, and thick blood grooves. They held the barrels of the spears under their ribs and pointed the sharp spear points directly at the enemy formation.
First, Lin Chong shouted loudly. He jumped on his horse, raised his spear, and led his troops to rush out first. Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, and even Suo Chao, Zhu Jing and other military generals also led their troops to kill the generals. There were also Deng Fei and Huang Xin.
When the leader gave the order for the infantry to move forward, the shouts were louder than the last wave, almost shaking the sky.
The cavalry from each battalion who came out first kept a certain distance according to the order and looked after each other, forming a wedge-shaped charging formation that was conducive to the charge of the cavalry. When Wu Yong, Liu Min and others saw this, their expressions changed, and they secretly thought: Xiao
Are Tang's group going to break through the formation as soon as the war begins? Although their own troops and horses do not have an advantage, not all the troops under Song Jiang's command are arrayed on the frontal battlefield. The troops and horses dominating here are roughly
The view is boundless. Isn't it too simple and crude for Xiao Tang to use this method of warfare?
However, if the opponent is allowed to attack directly in front of the formation, it will inevitably have a certain impact on one's own military formation... and Xiao Tang still has some remaining strength, and can mobilize other troops to bypass, harass, and contain from the flanks.
Disrupt your own formation in other ways...
But it was Liu Zhibo and Liu Min who thought about it, and he immediately rode out of the battle. After Song Jiang also joined Liangshan, Liu Min had already planned to have a good relationship with Jiu Yuchu, who had a good relationship in the world, and he had a good relationship with him.
Wu Yong can at least be regarded as the leader of the village who supports Song Jiang's idea of ​​recruiting peace. However, after getting along for a long time, Song Jiang is obviously closer to Wu Yong, and Liu Min is also somewhat self-aware. When it comes to planning and intrigue, he
I know I'm still a little behind Wu Yong.
However, Liu Min always thought that when it came to planning and arranging troops in front of the formation, he would be much better than Wu Yong.
Now, with Song Jiang's instructions, Liu Min gave another order, and several groups of archers trotted to the infantry shield wall with shields and guns and lined up in formation. Liu Min pulled out the iron sword from his waist again, and the archers of each group
He immediately drew the bow and nocked the arrow, and with a creaking sound, the bow string was fully drawn. With the arrow on the string and the bow in hand, the archers arrayed in front stared nervously at the billowing smoke and dust in front of them, waiting for Liu Min to make a sound.
Order!
"Fire the arrow!"
When he visually observed that the opponent's cavalry had entered the range of the bow and arrow, Liu Min roared at the top of his lungs and slashed the iron sword in his hand forward. At the same time, the tight bowstrings were shocked when they were suddenly released.
The sound resounded through the military formation, and in a moment there was another whooshing sound. Countless sharp wolf-fang arrows shot out from the military formation, and then poured out towards the enemy cavalry who were heading toward them.
Down!
Although a flurry of sharp arrows fell from the air like raindrops, mixed with a sharp scream, it came to the head in an instant. Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Yang Zhi and other brave generals immediately waved their long-handled weapons and struck. The arrows rained down at high speed. The surrounding cavalry soldiers also set up their cowhide shields to block the arrow clusters that hit their heads. Although there were hundreds of people who were unprepared, they were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, but Liu The first round of concentrated fire strikes organized by Minsuo had very little damage.
Although Xiao Tang had gathered many generals who were good at riding and fighting, and the village was about to reorganize its troops and appoint heroes who came to the village one after another to form a new army, the Tianxiong Army led by Lin Chong, and the Tianxiong Army led by Qin Ming The Benlei Army and the Tianbo Army led by Yang Zhi have the same advantage compared to other divisions: that is, when these troops were formed, they were originally the first troops in the two mountain villages of Qingzhou to form the division. , the second and third horse barracks were expanded. Over the years, Xiao Tang secretly supported the soldiers and horses of Green Forest and Mountains to increase their size. Not only were these troops relatively more well-equipped and complete, but they also had a better understanding of each other. The main generals who led the troops were partial generals. They are also senior among the brothers who have joined forces with Xiao Tang. Now the three battalions of Tianxiong, Benlei, and Tianbo have taken the lead, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties compared to other groups.
The soldiers and horses under Xiao Tang's command are indeed not good people...Liu Min gritted his teeth, and now he was in a bit of a dilemma. Because the opponent's style of play was unconventional, and he had already attacked his own side with his troops. There was a military formation in the camp, but there was not enough time to prepare for the battle, and there was no time to repair all the surrounding trenches, archery towers, horse guarding and other defenses.
Liu Min calculated in his mind: Even with the strength of his own troops and horses, the cavalry on the opposite side who were the first to charge would not be able to break out of the camp immediately and tear his own army formation into pieces. But they must be able to shake it. The formation had a certain impact on one's own troops. However, Xiao Tang had many wise men under his command, and they were determined not to be so reckless in planning to crush them all the way. Since the opponent must have back-up moves, could he just remain indifferent? , allowing the other party to attack one's own military formation step by step?
At any rate, our army must take action to disrupt the plans of those gangsters...
After thinking in his mind, Liu Min immediately looked towards the troops waiting in formation, and shouted loudly: "Fengtai, you lead Zheng Jie, Kou Meng, and Gu Cen to intercept the enemy's cavalry and fight with them. There is no need for a head-on collision, but disrupting the enemy's formation from the side will slow down the opponent's momentum!"
Seeing the cavalry under Xiao Tang's command charging at them unscrupulously across the way, Feng Tai's ferocity was aroused. Although he still had some worries in his heart, Feng Tai knew that he was now in the same situation as Liu Min, and he no longer had any worries. You can go back.
"I got it! The thief Zhi Niang, Xiao Tang, that donkey bird, in officialdom and in the green forest, are all going to oppose me. I've already had enough of hiding, so I'll just kill him to my heart's content!"
Fengtai, who had always been proud of his martial prowess, roared, and immediately grabbed the horse's belly with his legs, waving his maces and galloped out, along with several gangster leaders who had worked together on Jingnan South Road. Each of them immediately ordered the knights under their command, and led their troops to advance with countless weapons. Under the illumination of the sun, they reflected dazzling cold light. The knights rode forward one after another, and the rushing horses' hooves struck the ground fiercely. It formed a raging roar and rushed straight to the military formation!
"It seems that the leader of Song Jiang's command of the troops in front of the battle can't calm down after all..."
On the side of Xiao Tang's military formation, Zhu Wu, the divine machine strategist who was wearing a deerskin cloud crown, a rice dumpling leaf Taoist uniform and carrying two swords on his waist, rode out on his horse and drove to Xiao Tang's side.
Said: "Zhuge Wuhou said: If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will move first... Now I move first and the enemy moves behind. The troops and horses under Song Jiang's command now have to be passive and eager to go out to intercept the attack.
The formation of the formation is intended to disrupt our army's arrangements and deployment, and to gain some advantage. But now that our army has made some moves, the guys still can't figure out our plans. The enemy
If the army just moves along with the trend...but it is given to others, how can it move, won't everything fall under the control of our army?"
