Chapter 889 The most terrifying enemy, Xia Jun's trump card
Xu Guanzhong just suggested to Xiao Tang, and Xiao Jiasui immediately nodded and said yes. The Xia army had the advantages of strength and geographical location. No army commander would be willing to fight in dangerous areas. Liu Fa, who had previously been defeated by the Xia army, would not fail to do so.
I understand, but since he was controlled by Tong Guan and sent troops, of course he couldn't just wander around the enemy's territory, leave thousands of corpses of soldiers in the army, and then return to the Song Dynasty.
But Xiao Tang did not have such worries. He still had room for choice. Although rescuing Liu Fa would lead to the interception of a large group of enemy troops, if he wanted to fight, he would have to avoid the enemy troops. He was able to deploy troops and horses easily, but he was isolated and helpless.
The territory must not be led by the enemy.
So Xiao Tang also nodded and said: "What Guan Zhong said is true. It's just that the ancients said that there is a certain amount of advance and retreat, and there are situations on the left and right. The Xia army relies on the strength of their numbers to attack by force. Once our army is moved, it will be dispersed by the enemy."
Formation, everything is over... Moreover, in order to attack our army, the enemy has a trump card that he will definitely use. However, I did not expect that the countermeasures I thought about would be used now, not to mention that there was no time to hone them in actual combat before.
, success or failure has to be decided in one fell swoop..."
Xiao Tang said in a deep voice, and then said: "Send the order and order the soldiers of all ministries to form several formations (one of the ten ancient formations, a dense battle formation, Sun Bin's art of war said that those who can count the formations are indispensable, which means the combat function of the formations)
In order to strictly guard against being defeated by the enemy), Guan Dujian led the light horse army to respond. After leading Liu Jinglue and others back to the main formation, they slowly moved south... In addition, Liu Qi was ordered to lead the troops assigned to him to do a good job.
Be prepared, I'm afraid I will soon have to teach those men to fight to the death to deal with the enemy's killing..."
But he said that in the Xia army's formation, thousands of soldiers, swords, guns, swords and halberds were giving off a cold air, and the murderous aura seemed to break through the sky. Just when the troops of the Xia army were about to send out their troops to cover up the killing, Cha Ge rode his horse on a high slope.
Standing majestically under the Huang Luo umbrella cover and the Wolf Fang military flag, he suddenly saw a group of men and horses rushing out of the valley on the side and running towards the Song army's formation. He raised his sword eyebrows slightly and looked at it with attention.
After that, he suddenly smiled faintly and said: "The reinforcements from the Song Dynasty came faster than I expected. Have they rescued Liu Fa? But together with that Xiao Tang, you will die a few hours earlier and a few hours later.
What's the difference?"
"Boom, boom, boom..." At this moment, the Song Army's formation on the opposite side was already beating the war drums, but when the tooth flag was displayed, the Song Army soldiers who were already ready to attack
They immediately began to move, and tens of thousands of pieces of armor clanked with friction, and suddenly there were bursts of muffled thunder-like sounds. However, Cha Ge saw that although the Song army was moving, it was neither to form a formation nor to defend.
To launch an offensive from the front, all units should gather closely together and start marching to the south.
Brother Cha nodded again when he saw this, and thought to himself: It seems that Xiao Tang also knows the tactics of war, and knows that the battle here is extremely dangerous. He can realize this quickly, and the soldiers and horses under his command are not
If you loosen up during the retreat, you are already better than many generals in the Song and Xia armies... But since you are already in the urn, how can I have the compassion to let you leave safely?
Cha Ge is very good at commanding troops and horses. He knows how to seize the opportunity and use the strength of the troops to achieve victory. He also knows that the benefits of killing the two armies are directly proportional to the risks. In the previous episode, Liu Fa took the risk and sent troops to advance. Cha Ge
He already noticed that the army had turned towards his side.
And now, in addition to Liu Fa, who is forced by the situation, there is another brother Cha who is about to get rid of Xiao Tang.
At that time, Xiao Tang was in Yinzhou, and the Xia army of Shizhou territory was defeated by the Shenyong Army Division in the left wing. This not only aroused the idea of Brother Cha. Although he had never fought with Xiao Tang's army, he could also advance from Xiao Tang to the Xia Kingdom from the east, and
During the war in which he set up ambushes on his own country's borders to defeat his own troops, he discovered that Xiao Tang was different from many generals who led the army conservatively and maintained stability. He also tended to be aggressive in commanding the army. So since Chage heard that Xiao Tang led his troops to recapture
After reporting the battle of Xiao Guan and leading his army to the west, he mobilized his troops to launch raids and harassment battles against him repeatedly. He was also observing the commanding style of this rising star of the Song Army and the combat quality of his troops. Until Liu Fa sent troops to observe
My brother wanted to take the initiative to induce Xiao Tang to lead his army to rescue Liu Fa after learning that he was in danger, so that he could kill two elite enemy troops in one go.
Brother Cha also knew very well that the enemy army failed to make a surprise attack and fell into a tight siege. This was also the most likely to cause the command failure of the three armies and the morale of the army to collapse. Especially when the army was completely passive, even the famous generals who were geniuses would find it difficult.
Turn the tide. Now your own troops and horses have advantages such as geographical location, number of troops, initiative in force, and strong morale that threatens a great victory. The actions of Xiao Tang's troops and horses are also within your expectations, and you can do whatever you want.
How long can the brain hold on and resist, how long can it last?
After Brother Cha thought in his mind, he slowly raised his hand, and then slashed downwards, and a murderous look suddenly appeared in his slightly delicate eyes!
The sky-covering arrow clusters like locusts in the Xia Army's formation suddenly soared into the air. At the same time as the arrows pierced the edge, the Xia Army's cavalry mobilized vigorously and swept towards the Song Army like a rolling roaring wave. The Song Army's formation under Xiao Tang's command
While Zhongjun Jian set up a shield for defense, he also fired a shower of arrows at the Xia army. Although he was moving slowly to the south, the military formations formed by various troops were still densely packed together like solid rocks.
!
The intention of the Song Army was very obvious, which was to gather strength and start marching step by step to the south while withstanding the fierce attack of the enemy. Although the speed of march was not as fast as that of the Xia Army's cavalry, it was also moving in the process of marching.
It has been able to maintain a dense formation to counteract the impact of the enemy's cavalry and the suppression of the infantry.
The Xia army's cavalry were divided into several groups. Some of them took an arc from the left wing and galloped towards the flank of the Song army's formation, while several groups of cavalry on the right wing clung to the Song army's rear formation.
Both sides have begun to suffer casualties under the attack of arrows, and the scale of the battle has gradually expanded. The Xia Guo horse infantry moved quickly, like several surging giant waves, while the Song army was a basalt beast with a hard shell of steel.
Although the marching speed has slowed down, the enemy army cannot break through the formation for a while. What's more, except for the sloping mountainous area, the Xia army is almost encircling the Song army on three sides. The strategy Xu Guanzhong recommended to Xiao Tang was also because of the enemy army.
The troops are scattered, so it is better to concentrate all the strength to attack one side, in order to break out of this dangerous situation.
The key to this plan is that before the Song army breaks through with a strong attack, it must not be overwhelmed by the enemy's strong attacks from all directions. Otherwise, it will be surrounded and annihilated by the Xia army just like Liu Fa's defeat in the previous battle.
.
Seeing that the Song army was not defeated in a short period of time, and the army formation was gradually withdrawing from the leaning mountains, Cha Ge had a cold smile on his lips, and then ordered decisively: "Send the order, order the Iron Harrier Army to assemble from
Charge out from behind the mountain and overwhelm the enemy's formation!"
------------------------------------------
Author's note: During this time, I have also heard some heroes say that the protagonist, Green Forest, acts on both sides of the officialdom, and the officialdom side of the plot has a larger proportion, why there is no rebellion, etc. In fact, I also understand that there are more plots on the officialdom side,
This will inevitably make the taste of this book Water Margin dull.
But from the beginning of writing this novel, I have planned to combine Water Margin with official history as much as possible. However, in my humble opinion, in the previous chapters I also expressed my views on the limitations of uprisings in the Song Dynasty. Although I have
The Water Margin has sentiments, but if the Liangshan Army in Water Margin is really introduced into the official history, they will only be wiped out if they rebel rashly. After all, in historical facts, Song Jiang's troops were defeated by Zhang Shuye and surrendered, and in historical facts, among the four major bandits
The most powerful Fang La Army was crushed by the Nezhi troops, and you all know it well. We still have to raise the banner to fight against the Song Dynasty, conquer the Liao Dynasty, and destroy the Jin Dynasty... Even if I put more effort into portraying it as much as possible.
I like the people in Water Margin, and try to describe the process of the rebellion as satisfactorily as possible, but according to my personal understanding of this historical background, benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions. No matter how you say it, it is just cheating. Since it is a historical subject, at least
I still have to maintain a certain attitude of respect. A novel that I can't even justify when I write it has violated my original intention of writing a book.
What's more, the plot in the officialdom: when Zhang Di was conquered, he had the opportunity to recruit many leaders who belonged to Tian Hu; to appease Jingxi Road, it involved people who should belong to Wang Qing's command; when he went to the Liao Kingdom, he had the opportunity to expand the foreign naval towns and break the green forest.
Limitation of power; the crusade against Tian Hu brought them into line with the predecessor forces of the Eight-Character Army; participating in the Xixia War would also influence the future affiliations of many Western Army generals, which was a problem for the original Liangshan forces who had many generals but lacked handsome talents.
For them, it will be the most powerful support. What's more, Water Margin is a masterpiece that has been artistically processed. However, there are many anti-Jin rebel leaders who emerged at the turn of the two Song Dynasties, but they all have their names in history.
.
Liangshan is necessary, but there must not be only one "Liangshan", otherwise great things will be difficult to achieve.
Having said this, I also intend to briefly explain to you the direction of the protagonist's plot in the future. In fact, this is the first time I have written such a long novel and my experience is limited. It is really very hard to think about writing about both officialdom and greenery. However, I have buried a lot of trouble for myself.
