Chapter 1240: The First Battle: Zero Defeat vs Zero Defeat (5) [Two in One](1/3)
"PS: Recently, many book friends have said that they don't like to read battlefield texts. Book friends who like to read battlefield texts, please create a book review section in the book review area so that I can see you. If most book friends don't like battlefield texts, I will
I’ve just sketched it out. Anyway, writing battlefield texts is the most tiring and thankless thing, so we won’t do it.』
————The following text————
It was originally thought that the 40,000 Shang Shui Army advancing in the middle was targeting the Discipline and Kuo Department of the Beiyan Army. Who would have thought that the 40,000 Shang Shui Army suddenly divided into two groups, attacking the left and right flanks of the Han Army respectively, while attacking the center.
The Northern Yan army regarded it as nothing.
This resulted in a very strange scene on the battlefield: the battlefields on the north and south sides were overcrowded and fighting continued, but the middle road was unusually empty and the middle gate was wide open.
What kind of tactic is this? Even Ji Kuo, the general of the Northern Yan Army, looked confused at this time, feeling that his thinking could not keep up with the changes on the battlefield.
"This...this is so nonsense!"
In the Korean army's main formation, the guards beside Le Yi couldn't help but scream in surprise after seeing the situation on the battlefield.
The two wings are gathered together, and the middle door is wide open. How can a war be fought like this?
"Are you kidding?"
Beiyan Shou Leyi murmured to himself, while a pair of tigers stared intently at the main formation of the Qin and Wei coalition forces in the distance opposite.
In his opinion, tactics do not matter whether they are random or not. As long as they can effectively restrain the enemy, it is a good tactic.
But Wei Gongzi Run's seemingly random move, in Beiyan Shou Leyi's opinion, is really clever.
"I see... "He" guessed that I would send reinforcements from the very beginning when he attacked the Handan Army on our right flank... The Shang Shui Army's slow advance just now was to lure Li Mu into sending out cavalry to attack his flank in a roundabout way.
...』
Le Yi had to admit that even he was deceived by that Wei Gongzi Run.
Because just now, he thought that the purpose of the 40,000 Shang Shui Army advancing was to take advantage of the fact that the Beiyan Army in his middle route had dispatched more than 10,000 troops to support the Handan Army, which had greatly reduced the defensive power of the middle route, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
.
But he didn't expect that the opponent's plan was more clever. Instead of taking the center, he took the two wings.
"Now we're in trouble..."
Frowning, Le Yi glanced at the location of his general Ji Kuo.
After the Shang Shui Army divided its forces to attack the two wings, the formation of the Northern Yan Army where Ji Kuo was located showed no movement, as if it was standing there blankly, at a loss.
Le Yi didn't blame Ji Kuo for this. After all, even he couldn't help but feel a little confused at this moment.
The Northern Yan Army in the middle still has three phalanxes of 5,000 men led by general Ji Kuo, but what should this force do at this moment?
Splitting troops to support two wings is the most foolish approach.
Facing the offensive of two Shang Shui armies of 20,000 men, the Ji Kuo Department had to concentrate its forces to resist one of the Shang Shui armies. After all, it was the Shang Shui army, the most famous and victorious force in Wei State.
Elite team.
what to do?
Support the right-wing Handan Army?
Support the Yanmen Army on the left?
Or take the opportunity to break through from the center and attack the main formation of the Qin and Wei coalition forces?
Or should we stay put and wait and see what happens?
Four options immediately appeared in Le Yi's mind.
The fourth option, that is, the option of staying put and waiting, is undoubtedly very stupid. It will only miss the opportunity to fight.
The third option is to take the opportunity to break through the center and attack the main formation of the Qin and Wei coalition forces. This seems to be a good choice, but in fact it is also a trap - because at this moment, Ji Kuo's army of the Northern Yan Army took the opportunity to attack Mr. Wei.
In front of Run's main formation, if the Handan Army on both wings is not present, the Yanmen Army may be defeated by the Shang Shui Army first.
Don't expect that the Northern Yan Army's Ji Kuo Department, in cooperation with the Yanmen cavalry that attacked the Qin and Wei coalition forces in a roundabout way, might be able to surround the few four to five thousand people where the Wei Gongzi was, but in fact, at that time, the two wings of the Han army were surrounded by the Qin and Wei forces.
The Wei coalition forces devoured it, and the Korean army was defeated in this battle.
"What a bold tactic... Send an order for Ji Kuo's army to reinforce the left wing!"
Le Yi ordered immediately and decisively.
"Yes!" The ordering soldier clasped his fists and left. After a while, he rode to the side of General Ji Kuo. He clasped his fists and said: "The general has an order. General Ji Kuo is ordered to protect the left wing!"
"Reinforce the left wing Yanmen Army?"
Ji Kuo was slightly surprised when he heard this. After all, judging from the situation on the battlefield at this moment, it was obvious that the right wing had a bigger problem.
First, the 8,000 Northern Yan Army led by Li Cang was attacked from two sides by Yangquan Jun Yingbo and Shang Shui Army General Zhai Huang, and the defense line was defeated several times. Then, the Shang Shui Army Zhai Huang's Department broke through the Northern Yan Army Li Cang's Department,
Continue to advance and pursue the victory to attack the Handan Army. This makes the situation of the Korean Army on the northern battlefield almost one-sided and absolute disadvantage.
In contrast, for the Yanmen Army on the left, although Li Mu, the defender of Yanmen, sent thousands of cavalry to attack the Qin and Wei coalition's right wing in a roundabout way, there were still more than 10,000 Yanmen infantry there. With the Yanmen Army's ability to repeatedly defeat the Xiongnu,
With such a strong force, even the Shangshui Army should not be able to break through the Yanmen Army's front in a short period of time.
But even so, Le Yi still ordered the reinforcements of the left-wing Yanmen Army.
"...Ji Kuo takes the order!"
Ji Kuo nodded and immediately ordered the three infantry phalanxes under his command to move closer to the left wing, making the battlefield in the middle more open.
Since there was no obstacle, Zhao Hongrun and Le Yi could even vaguely see each other - at least they could see each other's flag.
"The Beiyan Army in the middle actually moved south?"
Qin Shaojun was greatly surprised when he saw the actions of the Discipline Department of the Northern Yan Army from a distance.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun let out a breath and showed a hint of regret: "Sure enough, we shouldn't expect that Le Yi will make a wrong judgment..."
Hearing this, Qin Shaojun couldn't help but be a little surprised, because from Zhao Hongrun's tone, the latter seemed to be praising Le Yi's judgment.
Perhaps guessing the confusion in Qin Shaojun's heart, Zhao Hongrun explained sternly: "The Handan Army on the right wing of the Han Army is irreversibly defeated. Even if the Northern Yan Army with the remaining three phalanxes is sent to the right wing, it will only be a temporary conflict with Zhai.
The 20,000 merchant navy troops of the Huang tribe were just a draw... But the left wing of the Korean army, the infantry phalanx of the Yanmen Army, had just come into contact with the 20,000 merchant navy troops of Nanmenchi, and the victory or defeat was still decided in June 4th.
, our army is sixth, and Yanmen Army is fourth. In this case, even I will decisively invest our troops on the left wing to help Yanmen Army gain the advantage. In this way, our army and the Korean army will each occupy the battlefield on both wings.
If one side has the advantage, this battle can still be fought; but if Le Yi chooses to support the Handan Army on the right, which is already defeated, then when the Yanmen Army on the left also shows signs of defeat, the Korean army will almost lose this battle.
There is no possibility of recovery... This is a wise judgment!"
At this point, Zhao Hongrun added with regret: "What a pity. If Le Yi hesitated for a moment, Nanmen Chi's 20,000 merchant navy would probably have gained an advantage on the Korean left wing. Alas, it only takes a moment..."
As he said that, he raised his head and glanced at the Han army's main formation in the distance, and secretly regretted in his heart: Le Yi was too decisive and did not leave the Wei army any chance.
Qin Shaojun glanced at Zhao Hongrun beside her. She had to admit that Zhao Hongrun was quite good at commanding operations, but having said that, today's tactics were really ridiculous.
For example, right now, on this side of our formation, except for the right wing, there are only four to five thousand troops. The remaining left wing and middle troops are all deep in the enemy's hinterland. What if a cavalry appears at this time?
"That's right! Cavalry!"
As if he thought of something, Qin Shaojun subconsciously turned his head towards his right wing, to be precise, the south side of the right wing.
In that direction, a group of Yanmen cavalry skirted several slopes in the south and was sneaking towards them.
"There's Lord Wang Ling on the right... I think everything will be fine."
Thinking of the commander on the right wing, Qin Shaojun felt a little relieved.
Wang Ling, the commander of the right wing of the Qin and Wei allied forces, was also a Qin man and was cautious and steady. When Yangquan Jun Yingba conquered the anti-Qin forces within the 800-mile Qinling Range, Wang Ling served as the former's deputy general; later Qin
When the Chinese invaded Longxi, Wang Ling also led the army to assist in the war and made many meritorious deeds.
But because he is low-key and rarely achieves the reputation of "the first hero" or "the second hero" in large-scale battles, his reputation is always not as good as that of Wuxinhou Gongsunqi, Changxinhou Wangjian, and Weiyang Junying.
Hua, Yangquan Junyingbo et al.
But it is undeniable that Wang Ling is also a very reliable commander - the saying that a good fighter has no outstanding achievements may refer to this type of general.
The Yanmen cavalry who came to attack did not keep Zhao Hongrun, Qin Shaojun, Wang Ling and others waiting. At the same time that the largest-scale fighting to date broke out on the left and right wings of the Korean army, the Yanmen cavalry killed from the middle of the two slopes.
came out, as if they were going to kill the Qin and Wei coalition forces by surprise.
But unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun, Qin Shaojun and Wang Ling have already paid attention to this cavalry. How could they let the latter succeed?
"Get ready to fight!"
As Wang Ling, the right-wing general of the Qin and Wei coalition forces, gave an order, the Qin soldiers under his command suddenly howled excitedly.
It's no wonder, after all, the army under Wang Ling's command consists of five to six thousand Qin Gedun soldiers and over 10,000 tattooed-faced troops, and the military discipline of the tattooed-faced army is undoubtedly the worst among the Qin and Wei coalition forces.
“The wait is finally here!”
"It's time for me to go into battle!"
"Then damn Mr. Wei Run, you kept us waiting for so long..."
More than 10,000 tattooed troops were making a fuss. The noisy scene even made Qin Shaojun blush a little when he saw it: The discipline is really poor!
But having said that, although there seems to be no military discipline at all, the bravery of the Tattooed Army can definitely be ranked among the top three in the Qin Army. Even compared to the Iron Eagle Cavalry, it is not inferior. After all, the soldiers of the Tattooed Army,
They are all lowly people who are eager to achieve meritorious service on the battlefield and improve their social status. Their persistence and pursuit of victory and meritorious service are extraordinary.
It is for this reason that Zhao Hongrun arranged for the tattooed army to face the Yanmen Cavalry, which is said to be the leading cavalry force in South Korea.
