People feel refreshed during happy events, and Li Fusheng gave people such a feeling at this time.
Zheng Fan leads his troops into battles. More importantly, he enjoys the sense of dominance of galloping horses and thousands of troops charging and moving according to his own wishes. In short, it is just to show off.
No, Li Fusheng is the kind of person who purely likes killing.
A blind man once said that a person's eyes are the most difficult to lie. The redness in Li Fusheng's eyes was already a crazy interpretation of his desire for blood at this time.
"Zheng Shoubei, come with me."
This is actually a gesture of goodwill. First, it will give you some insights. After all, although Zheng Fan said that his results were good in the past, The fighting was all blitzkrieg and guerrilla warfare, plus we encountered those silly wolf soldiers.
The second is to take you to gain qualifications. Although sitting in the rear and regulating affairs in the city is also a credit, in the traditional understanding and perspective of the Yan people, only bloody military exploits are the most solid resources for promotion, and the rest are The credit will inevitably be inferior.
This is just like the view of many older generations in later generations that all other industries except civil servants are part-time jobs.
To be honest, Zheng Fan really wanted to see what a tens of thousands-level battle was like. Besides, there would be no trouble if there were blind people working in the city. He raised his hands and saluted:
"Thank you, sir!"
"Haha."
Li Fusheng walked out of the door, and the lazy beast immediately stood up. , walked to Li Fusheng and bent his front knees.
Li Fusheng turned over and sat on it,
ordered:
"Pass my military order, the army will set off!"
"Dong, dong, dong! Dong Dong Dong! "
Outside the south gate, a group of Northern Army cavalry was marching out in an orderly manner. It was naturally impossible for all 20,000 cavalry to be gathered together to perform a combat mission. Then they swarmed in one direction.
Li Fusheng personally led 3,000 cavalry as the central army, and his six guerrilla generals each led nearly 3,000 cavalry and headed there based on the position reported by the sentry cavalry.
If there is an aerial camera above at this time, we can see a total of seven fast-moving shadows in the area from Chuzhou City to the south.
Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng naturally followed Li Fusheng's central army. In fact, the original 2,500 cavalrymen in Cuiliu Fort should be from Li Fusheng's temporary barracks, but once they came to Cuiliu Fort The soldiers had been busy all night and had not gotten any rest. Secondly, Li Fusheng also had to take care of the fighting desire of his soldiers.
A truly powerful army must be a confident army. They are not afraid of war, they are eager for war, and they are happy to hear war.
Liang Cheng has been observing the surroundings carefully, and cavalry messengers are constantly shuttled back and forth among the various teams to ensure the timeliness of the command.
The cavalry's combat methods are actually very rich, and they are much more flexible than infantry. At the same time, their mobility can makeIt gives them more battlefield opportunities, but how to command cavalry well in combat is a great knowledge.
Obviously, regardless of whether Li Fusheng was mentally ill as the blind man said, his military command quality was very high.
This is not something gained by talking on paper, but learned from years of fighting with the barbarians of the previous generation of cavalry masters in the desert.
Previously, there were two reasons why we had to stay in Chuzhou City for two or three days, leaving aside the political factors:
The first was to obtain supplies because we had to travel a long distance. , in fact, the supplies carried by the troops are not very rich;
The second is to cultivate horse power. War horses are expensive, and they must be maintained after a long-distance attack, otherwise the losses will be great. .
However, after cultivating, I put my pillow on when I was dozing off, and a soldier actually appeared in front of me.
Unlike Zheng Shoubei, who lives a careful life in a small household, Li Fusheng is obviously more domineering.
The first reaction when seeing the enemy is not to measure the opponent's strength and the possible losses to one's own side. ,
But there is only one word:
Fuck it!
At this time, Li Fusheng had just finished listening to the report from a messenger, and he immediately laughed and cursed:
"You bastard, these gangsters actually shrank by themselves!"
p>
Zheng Fan is right next to Li Fusheng. At this time, it is naturally not a question and answer session.
But Li Fusheng's mood seemed to be due to the arrival of this military report. First, he was a little disdainful, and secondly, he relaxed and proactively turned to Zheng Fan and shouted:
"I don't know where this army came from, but it definitely couldn't be from the north. I guess they didn't know that Chuzhou City had changed hands. They foolishly headed here in the morning. Now it should be Sensing something was wrong, they were moving closer to Qingshan County in the southwest. "
"Isn't this the Qian army who came specifically to attack and regain Chuzhou City?"
Including Zheng Fan, most of Chuzhou's troops are here. The common people and dignitaries all thought that the Gan army that suddenly appeared outside Chuzhou City was the King's division who came specifically to fight Yan Gou.
But it seems that this is not the case.
What exactly this army consists of and where it came from is still not clear for a while, but seeing that the other party foolishly took the initiative to march towards Chuzhou City before, now it is starting to panic again. Judging from the performance of moving closer to a nearby county town,
This should be just a... passing cadre army.
It’s no wonder that Chuzhou City fell too quickly and fell into the hands of the Zhenbei Army without any decent resistance. At the same time, the Zhenbei Army’s sentries and cavalry were scattered over a large area. , almost isolating this big city from the outside world.
The sentry cavalry of the Zhenbei Army are masters who can fight with the barbarian warriors in the desert without losing. How could the sentry cavalry of the Qian** Army be their opponent?
Furthermore, Qian GuoNo one expected that the Yan people actually jumped over three sides and came directly here, and also captured Chuzhou City with lightning speed.
With this kind of isolation, it is naturally impossible to block all messages. Some messages will definitely be transmitted, but in this era, the transmission of messages itself has a lag.
At the same time, when the army is marching, the timeliness of receiving messages will also be greatly reduced.
In short,
As a result of various reasons, this 30,000-strong army almost ran into Chuzhou City like a savior.
Thinking about it, it must have been the general of that army who realized something was wrong. No matter how stupid the general was, he still knew that when marching, he had to divide the front army, rear army and middle army and send out sentry cavalry to expand the field of vision. We also need to send people to Chuzhou City in advance to inform Chuzhou City to prepare for the reception of the army passing by tonight.
Then, the other party should have discovered that the people they sent to Chuzhou City and the sentry cavalry sent out did not come back. After having a premonition that something happened, out of a general's instinct, he chose to attack nearby You can echo a county town to get closer.
"Haha, I'm not a cat, how can I be teased by it and leave him alone?"
Li Fusheng continued:
"Give me the order, The whole army speeds up!"
Zheng Fan knew that he planned to intercept the opponent before he approached Qingshan County.
Only in the wild can the cavalry exert its greatest combat effectiveness and gain the greatest advantage. Although Zheng Fan has never been to Qingshan County, in this era, the county town must have city walls. Once that branch is used* The army stationed in the county town, even if the city wall of the county town is not very tall, it will still give the Zhenbei Army a headache.
The reason why we chose the big jump tactic is because we don’t want to attack the Qian Kingdom’s important city on three sides. Even if we really want to attack the city, we have to attack the Qian Kingdom’s upper capital.
When we attack the capital, no matter how many people die and no matter how many Yan'erlang's lives are consumed, it will not be considered a loss.
Under Li Fusheng's order, the entire army began to speed up and no longer cared about horsepower.
Finally,
the soldiers from the front came to report that the front army had discovered the opponent's military formation.
Li Fusheng immediately ordered the two guerrilla generals before the attack to lead their troops to outflank the enemy, blocking the possibility of the opponent continuing to move closer to Qingshan County.
"Haha, we caught up."
Li Fusheng was in a good mood, but he was actually a little worried that if he failed to catch up, he would be invaded by Ganjun.
The Zhenbei Army has one of its biggest weaknesses, that is, they lack siege experience, and it can even be said that they have almost no experience.
After all, except for the city where the royal court is located, the other barbarian tribes in the desert have no cities at all.
Finally, the Chinese army arrived.
Zheng Fan saw that the opponent's military formation was actually very neat. Although the majority of them were infantry, when faced with the cavalry pressure, theyStill not too panicked.
The spearmen are in the front and on both sides, the shield soldiers are in the middle, and inside, there should be crossbowmen and archers. The opponent's few cavalry are placed behind them.
This is what Zheng Fan, a newbie on the battlefield, saw.
Although he had fought several battles, Zheng Fan had only commanded one battle to pull out the fort or charge the city gate. Even the battle that defeated the wolf soldiers was personally commanded by Liang Cheng. Zheng Fan just acted as a cavalryman who obeyed orders.
However, despite this, Zheng Fan also felt that the army in front of him was unusual. This formation looked very anti-cavalry at first glance.
"My lord, the opponent should divide the 30,000-strong army into three parts, in the shape of a pin." Liang Cheng said to Zheng Fan, "This formation method can facilitate mutual support. If the number of arrows If there are enough, they can suppress each other."
Zheng Fan only saw the row in front, but Liang Cheng already understood the opponent's formation.
Just like there is a huge difference between the perspective of God watching a football match in the middle of the field or in front of the TV and the perspective of the players playing on the field.
Excellent generals can achieve an effect similar to "opening the eyes of the sky" by observing details.
Li Fusheng glanced at Liang Cheng in surprise and said:
"Zhi Niang, who is this general? He is a master who knows how to fight."
Speaking, Li Fusheng pointed at Liang Cheng again and asked:
"Do you know what he means by doing this?"
"Stand and wait for help." Liang Cheng replied.
"Yes, stand firm and wait for reinforcements."
Because the two groups of cavalry before the attack caught up with the opponent in time and cut off the opponent's retreat in a roundabout way, the Qianguo on the opposite side was able to The general chose to form a formation and wait on the spot.
The other party did not choose to attack the nearly 6,000 Yan cavalry to open the road to Qingshan County, even though Qingshan County was not far ahead.
Because the opponent is cavalry and most of the infantry are on our side, it is a bit difficult to break through the opponent's blockage in time. The most important thing is that the general of Qianguo on the opposite side should have noticed the appearance of these two groups. The Yan cavalry cutting back is just the front army, there should be more Yan cavalry galloping on the way.
Once you take the initiative to launch an attack first, it will easily cause the Yan cavalry to counterattack on the opposite side of the offensive. When an army dominated by infantry faces a cavalry group army, if the formation is If it collapses, it will be a real disaster!
"Pass the order, and let Sun Guyi and Yue Yuchen each send a thousand riders to test it out."
Li Fusheng's order was quickly passed on,
quickly Then,
In the originally relatively static battle situation,
two thousand cavalry teams broke away from their own military formation and began to approach the Qianjun military formation.
Zheng Fan couldn't help but take a second look at Li Fusheng. The commander-in-chief might be mentally ill, but his war brainSon, but still very sober.
“My lord, this move has two purposes. One is to test the quality of the opponent and see if it is just a show. Let’s pick one and see which one is weaker.”
“Zheng Shou Bei,” Li Fusheng shouted.
"Sir?" Zheng Fan was listening to the lecture. Hearing this, he turned to look at Li Fusheng.
"Is this person your slave?"
"Uh, yes."
I think it was Li Fusheng who heard Liang Cheng calling him "Master" "because of the above".
The slave culture in Yan country is very strong, oh no, to be precise, in this era, domestic slaves and generals are like this, not only in Yan country, but in basically every country.
To a certain extent, the seven generals under the Zhenbei Hou Mansion are actually generals of the Zhenbei Hou Li family.
"Zheng Shoubei is really good at both civil and military skills. This slave is well trained."
"..." Zheng Fan.
Nima,
Obviously I was listening to Liang Cheng’s lecture like a primary school student,
As a result, from Li Fusheng’s perspective, I was deliberately listening to Liang Cheng’s lecture. Test your own slaves.
Liang Cheng raised his hands and said:
"My master taught me well."
"Yes, yes, then I will test you for your master. How should we break this situation? Since the other party has chosen to stand firm and wait for help, we don’t have much time left.”
“My lord, it’s a joke. If the other party can stand firm and wait for help, it’s hard for us to succeed. Is the army going deep?"
"What's the explanation?" Li Fusheng narrowed his eyes.
"During the previous march, your Excellency should have sent messengers to contact other troops nearby."
"Okay, good, good."
Li Fusheng nodded with satisfaction.
The general of the Qian Kingdom on the opposite side is choosing to stick around and wait for reinforcements, because that general should be thinking that this is the territory of the Qian Kingdom, and it should be easy for the Qian Kingdom’s soldiers and horses to support him.
When the time comes, you can either bite the Yan cavalry or cooperate with the reinforcements to push back the Yan cavalry.
But this time the Yan army had 250,000 cavalry going south. Although the troops and horses dispersed when they entered Chujun, there must be other troops and horses nearby. .
The middle and lower-level sergeants may not know the distance and location of the units on both sides, but Li Fusheng, as the leader of the troops, is naturally clear.
After all, even if the Yan army going south dispersed, they were not a group of mad dogs that had escaped from their cages, but a group of wolves from the north.
Wolves are the best at cooperating.
The general from the opposite side of the country was thinking of waiting for reinforcements, but little did he know that there might be more wolves nearby than reinforcements.
"Zheng Shoubei, what is his military position?" Li Fusheng asked.
“The captain of Cuiliu Fort."Zheng Fan replied.
"Oh. "Li Fusheng nodded.
While the two were talking,
two thousand-man cavalry sent out had already approached the Qianjun formation, and the Qianjun formation immediately became tense. Get up.
Li Fusheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and Liang Cheng was also observing carefully.
Zheng Shoubei, who was sandwiched between the two, looked at the appearance of the two beside him and immediately became very worried. I looked at it seriously, and my eyes were sore.
Of course, the two thousand-man cavalry were not going to charge into the formation. The previous charge had stirred up a lot of dust and created quite a scene. However, he reined in the reins in a safe area, then turned the horse's head, raised his bow, and began to shoot.
The accuracy of the projectile was naturally much worse, but the ability of riding and shooting was. No matter how powerful you are, you are not allowed to compete with infantrymen who have formed a good formation.
The arrows fell quickly, and there was a commotion in the army. In fact, there is not much damage, unless some are particularly unlucky, but for ordinary people, they will subconsciously feel scared if someone throws a snowball at you, let alone an arrow.
The two thousand-man cavalry charged back and forth twice more, still only firing at a safe distance. Archers and crossbowmen in the opposite formation also began to fight back.
The casualties of each other were actually very high. Sporadic, but you still have to fight back, otherwise your momentum will weaken. You can't fight back just by being beaten. This kind of pressure is too much for the soldiers.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! "
Just when the two thousand cavalry teams were preparing to withdraw from the battle and return to their own formation, a harsh sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the opponent's formation.
Bed Crossbow!< /p>
There is a crossbow in the opponent's formation!
For a moment, a string of crossbow arrows that were longer than the height of an ordinary person were shot at a thousand-man cavalry.
There were five crossbow arrows in total, three of them missed, and one hit the horse of a knight of the Zhenbei Army, directly piercing the horse under his crotch. The horse's body seemed to be torn apart, and the knight on it was also He fell to the ground, but fortunately the colleague beside him had quick eyesight and reached out in time to pick him up and put him on his horse.
There was also a bed crossbow that shot through three Yan soldiers in succession. Knight, for a moment, blood splattered.
There were cheers in the Qianjun formation, and their morale increased greatly!
However,
Regarding this scene, regarding the life and death of his subordinates, Li Fusheng didn't even blink. There was even a smile on the corner of his mouth. He reached out and touched the hair of the beast under his crotch.
It seemed that he was interested again. , asked:
"What do you see? "
Liang Cheng replied calmly:
"The military formation facing us is the most stable. There is no turmoil in the formation, and the timing of the counterattack is also very good.
The two military formations at the back and the one on the west side are not bad.Although the soldiers were panicked, they were not confused.
Only the military formation on the east side was obviously compressed, and the crossbowmen in the center of the formation fired back in a messy and irregular manner.
With three military formations and three levels, this army is not an independent force, but more like a temporary group put together by several companies. "
After listening, Li Fusheng said:
"Then our army will attack from the military formation on the east side first? ”
Liang Cheng shook his head and said:
“My master has taught me that what is true is what is false and what is true is false. The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing and extremely deceitful.
The opposing general did not choose to force a breakthrough at the beginning, but deployed his formation on the spot, which proved that he was a cautious general with troops.
Even a temporary army cannot put up such a formation while leaving such an obvious flaw and gap here.
There should be a backup plan inside the military formation on the east side. ”
Li Fusheng reached out and suddenly patted Zheng Fan on the shoulder.
The force was a bit strong, and Zheng Fan, an eighth-level martial artist, was almost knocked off his horse.
"Zheng Shoubei, you really opened my eyes, you are both civil and military, you are a real talent! "
"..." Zheng Shoubei.
"The Marquis did not misjudge the person. No, I think the Marquis has misjudged the person. If the Marquis knew about Zheng Shoubei, With such an ability to be both civil and military, according to the Marquis's temper, even if you have a fight with that Marquis of Nan, you will still get Zheng Shoubei over. "
Hehe, hehe...
Zheng Fan blushed a little. He was actually making excuses about what happened last night. It was all the fault of the blind man and Siniang. Doing it;
Just now, Liang Cheng was saying that he was just learning.
People who cheat will always feel guilty,
Zheng Fan spoke. Said:
"Your Excellency, I am just talking about military affairs on paper. I am just talking about military affairs on paper. ”
“What’s the explanation for talking about war on paper? "Li Fusheng asked.
"Uh..." Zheng Fan.
Liang Cheng said at this time:
"Sir, that is my home. A military book written by the master himself. "
"..." Zheng Fan.
"A military book? Hey, then I'm really interested. Our warrior Qiu Ba can also write a book. It's not simple, but it's not simple. What's the name of this military book? "
Liang Cheng replied seriously:
""Zheng Zi's Art of War". ”
