Zhou Lie said endlessly, and Qin Meng's orders undoubtedly put the lives of the officers and soldiers first.
With this arrangement, the officers and soldiers of Houyazhai are in favorable terrain and can minimize casualties.
But once the enemy ignored them, and just divided the troops to defend this group of people, and shielded the large troops from retreating openly from a distance, Qin Meng was in great trouble.
In front of the military law, do you care about taking care of Robeze's life? If the expected strategic goal is not reached, the Lord will definitely behead!
In accordance with Qin Meng's order, the Houyazhai infantry quickly dug trenches, arranged trees as obstacles, and deployed them in a predetermined formation.
In the middle of Japan, one could see from afar, the Turkic scout cavalry approached in twos and threes, and found the assembly of officers and soldiers in Houyazhai.
After observing for a while, those Turkic cavalry quickly evacuated. After an hour, Wuyang Wuyang's Turkic cavalry moved toward the Wuyinling Sui Army battle formation at a rapid speed. Come closer.
Qin Meng's eyes stared at the Turkic cavalry without blinking.
From visual estimation, the enemy is 5,000 miles away.
The Turkic cavalry had long received a report from the reconnaissance cavalry, so they stopped at a place two arrows from the Sui army, gathered and organized their formation, and watched. I don't want to let these Sui soldiers go.
With this arrangement, Qin Meng made a gamble with his own life. He bet that the Turkic people had recently wiped out the officers and soldiers of the two villages.
Otherwise, in the post-war investigation, what do you want to do in a place where there is no threat to the enemy? Obviously it is fear of war. The military law clearly stipulates that fear of war is a death penalty!
The bet is right, it is just the beginning.
Once the wheels of war are turned, everyone's fate can only be struggling to the death of the wheels in order to obtain that slim ray of life.
Mululu—the front row of Turkic cavalry shouted for a charge. The horse started to accelerate and charge.
It can be seen that this enemy has a very high tactical literacy, and he did not feel that he had an absolute advantage and rushed forward in a swarm.
They charged in steps, the first row rushed for about 20 meters, and the second row started charging, thus dispersing the entire cavalry unit.
The Sui Army was dominated by infantry, of course, it had to do everything possible to retard the speed of the cavalry.
First is the longest bow and arrow, and then the trench in front of you. Through a series of kills and obstacles, the speed and number of cavalry are as low as possible when they approach.
The Turkic cavalry's cascading charge was aimed at the defensive strategy of the Sui army.
In batches, the opponent's shooting coverage will reduce the effective kill. Moreover, when facing the trenches, the foremost assault fighter is blocked and slows down, which will also provide a buffer for those who charge behind, so that they will not rush into their own people.
Qin Meng knew the other's strategic intentions, but there was no way. In front of the cavalry, the right to choose is all in the hands of others, and you can only wait for them to make a move before responding to them.
"Zhou Lie, Xie Yun, each draw a hundred cavalry, spread out along the left and right wings, waiting for my order."
Xie Yun and Zhou Liegao claimed that they would draw more than a hundred horses from each to spread out to the two wings after the Sui Army's infantry phalanx.
Qin Meng fought his horse and ran to the side of the infantry front.
"The archer prepares! One column is advanced, the second column is aimed at shooting, and the third and four columns extend backward! Prepare..." Qin Meng's tactical literacy comes from the learning of later generations, but more from Da Xi Changru teach.
Qin Meng raised his hand high, but his eyes were fixed on the speeding Turkic cavalry.
The archers in the four horizontal battles of the Sui Army, following Zhou Qinmeng's command, squatted in the front row, adjusted different launch angles in the back row according to the command, and used their arrows to open their bows.
Haven't received the enemy yet. Sweat dripped down Qin Meng's face.
This is not timid, nor nervous, but a high concentration of attention, silently calculating the distance of the enemy riding, must issue instructions at the most appropriate moment.
Earlier, the arrow's power could not be maximized, and later, when the enemy's riding period is approaching, it may not be able to contain the momentum of the charge.
"Let it go!" Qin Meng caught the best time to release the arrow. With an order, the sharp sound of countless arrows pierced the air, and a shower of arrows covered the charging Turkic cavalry.
The arrow coverage of the real battlefield is much more spectacular than the arrow rain in the movie.
However, the real killing effect is not as obvious as gunfire coverage.
After all, for a single individual, the covered arrow rain does not come towards oneself. If it is spread out flat, it is not bad if there are more than a dozen branches towards the target in general.
and. The cavalry moves at a high speed and has its own evasive tactics. What can really hit the target is equivalent to shooting birds with random guns. Those who are shot are a bit unlucky.
Five hundred archers came down in one round of arrows, only seven or eight riders fell. A horizontal assault cavalry, fifty full, could be three or four feet away from each other, and could not effectively stop them.
"Adjust the upward shooting angle, the second round, prepare, let go!"
Qin Meng's password seems simple, but it is very particular.
Because the daily bow and arrow battle train training does not mean that you just stand and release the arrows, but need the overall cooperation, and all angles are neatly coordinated to form the effect of arrow rain coverage.
Commanders must have a special understanding of the habitual rhythms of combat soldiers. The password must be shouted at the point, otherwise, the whole rhythm will be messed up, the archer will be particularly awkward, the tactical movements will be deformed, and the tactical effect will naturally not be achieved.
Otherwise, basic military literacy is very important. Without these people who are very familiar with front-line fighters and the deployment of front-line tactics, no matter how good their strategic and tactical intentions are, they can't get a little bit out of a series of basic combat contacts.
Six rounds of arrows were shot, and the enemy rider lost more than half of the forefront, but there were still more than 20 riders rushing up.
These twenty rides are not terrible, the key is. The cavalry who followed up slowly moved closer to the Sui army under the cover of the front row.
"The archer retreats, adjusts the shooting angle, and covers the enemy in depth, the spearman, stand up!"
Following Qin Meng's command, the archer turned sideways and flashed out a gap. The spearman in the back row, following the gap, got to the front row, and immediately moved forward with the tip of the spear, forming a spear array. .
After the spearman leaped forward, the archer retreated immediately, adjusted his formation again, and covered the enemy cavalry with arrows in the depth direction.
When the Turkic Cavalry rushed to the tree obstacles in front of the trenches, there were only more than ten horses left, and they had lost their speed, and could not overcome those obstacles at all.
but. They did not retreat because the cavalry behind had already rushed up. If it is stagnant or even backward, the cavalry behind will not hesitate to slash them, because delaying the entire team is a fatal act.
The cavalry had no choice but to dismount and cut the obstacles in front of the trenches. Get into the trench.
Some of these cavalrymen were missed and shot, while others were hit by their own cavalry behind, squeezed into the trenches and lost their lives.
Filling up the seventy or eighty cavalry, the Turks broke through the three trenches laid by the Sui Army and smashed in front of the Sui Army.
The trenches cannot stop the Turkic cavalry. But it did slow down their speed.
The array of spears attacked forward, with more than a hundred spears handed out, and rows of Turkic cavalry screamed and died in front of the formation.
However, the dead front ranks were not useless. They cleared the obstacles for the cavalry who later charged. Therefore, the cavalry who charged behind, without the barriers of trenches and roadblocks, rushed directly.
Facing the cavalry with speed, the spear array was punched through several holes in an instant.
Seeing, the spear array was about to collapse.
"You, take people up and stand it up for Lao Tzu! You, implement the battlefield discipline. Anyone who retreats and fears war will be killed!" Qin Meng ordered a centurion and asked him to lead people to supplement the collapse of the first spear array. A centurion was ordered and asked him to act on the battlefield instead of himself.
A general who is about to fight must have a devil-like heart.
At this time, the spear array was attacked by the Turkic cavalry, and the war horses and swords harvested the lives of the Great Sui infantry. They let out a scream after another, which could not touch the commander's heart at all.
As a commander. The most responsible method is to fight the war.
To squeeze the last drop of blood from each soldier and maximize their life potential. This is cold-blooded, but it is what a good commander must do.
Winning is the only goal! For this goal, what kind of sacrifice is worth it!
A centurion beckoned, led his men, and immediately pushed up, closing the gap opened by the Turkic cavalry.
And the other centurion, with his sword raised, would retreat the two soldiers with one sword, and behead the spot on the spot.
"The general has an order. Retreat and fear warriors, cut!"
This is a cruel war. You have to make your soldiers more afraid of you than the enemy.
Otherwise, the soldiers who are in desperate situation will instinctively choose the weak ones they think are the only hope of escape.
No matter what they think the weak is the enemy or their own person.
Qin Meng didn't move, but no one was more worried than him.
His subordinates, his brothers, were fighting fiercely with the Turks, the fierce collision of weapons and bodies, the splashing of flesh and blood, and the desperate roar, these most shocking scenes were not what Qin Meng cared most.
What Qin Meng cared most was the movement of the Turkic cavalry in the final assault team.
Now, all the cards on both sides of the war are in the bright spot, there is no conspiracy, just real shopping.
Whoever can break the deadlock will be able to take the initiative and transform it into victory.
In Qin Meng's hand, there was the final hole card, that was the three hundred cavalrymen who had already formed a formation under the leadership of Xie Yun and Zhou Lie.
This trump card is the trump card that determines the fate of the officers and soldiers of Houyazhai.
If the infantry can use the terrain and the advantages accumulated in the early stage to withstand the Turkic cavalry, then the Turkic cavalry must change the charge strategy and spread out to the two wings of the Sui army to achieve encirclement.
Otherwise, the front charge is unfavorable, but it is still swarming forward, and the Turkic cavalry will be blocked by their own people, and their combat power will be wasted in vain.
Outflanking the two wings meant that the Turkic cavalry had to go around and attack high. At this time, these three hundred horses could be released.
The key is, can the infantry of the Sui army be able to withstand the echelon charge of the Turks? (End of this chapter)
