I’m The King Chapter 1415: : Han Banner World (One Hundred and Five) Great Detour (Part 1)
As Gu Li said, Guanjiao Ridge is not big, but it is stuck on the main road leading to Wuguan. Not far, but enough to create a short-distance vacuum. The Huns cavalry led their horses, their mouths were strangled, their hooves were covered with thick cotton cloth, they stepped on the ground, making a quiet noise, every soldier had a stick in his mouth , to avoid making any unexpected sounds.
They moved forward silently along the path under Yangjiao Ridge. As far as they could see, there was the brightly lit Chu army camp. Not far away, there is a cavalry camp. It is not a good idea to attack the garrisoned infantry. Over the past ten years since the rise of the Han Kingdom, many tactics of the Han army have now become the general rules of every army on the mainland, such as camping.
&nb:pig:pig:island:novel 3w.osp;It is no longer simple fences and sentry towers, but digging ditches outside the barracks, some of which are open and some are dark , Assaulting such a camp is not much different from conquering a city. It is difficult to rush into the barracks without paying huge casualties, unless they have a large number of long-range weapons, such as artillery. But this thing is too heavy, and the cavalry can't carry it at all.
Would you like to fight that cavalry? When the war starts, there will be an echo between the cavalry and infantry of Chu State.
This is Gu Li's risky strategy, to go through this vacuum, join forces with Agu Huai'en, and jointly attack a Chu army's cavalry, before the opponent's infantry has time to form effective support, they will Destroy the opponent.
Qu Wan divided the entire army into five parts, two in front and two in back, with the Chinese army camp in the middle. The distance between each other is only fifty miles before and after the farthest. As Agu Wynn said, this is a typical tortoise formation. Each part cooperates with 10,000 cavalry to deal with the cavalry harassment of the Han army. The main task is not to find a way to suppress these two Han cavalry, but how to find a way to bring this army back to Chu. Therefore, as long as the cavalry of the Han army did not take the initiative to attack the Chu army, Qu Wan would not provoke them. When they arrived at Wuguan, the army would close up. It is impossible for a mere 10,000 cavalry to shake the 200,000 Chu army with tens of thousands of cavalry. At that time, he only needed to concentrate on dealing with Wuguan and defending the enemy.
Did Qu Wan think about it? The two cavalry leaders of the Han army are also trying their best to break Qu Wan's style of play. It is impossible for ten thousand cavalry to cause much fundamental damage to Qu Wan, but they can Hit the opponent's soldiers to slow down the opponent's advancing speed, so that Wuguan has more time to prepare for defensive operations.
Agu Wynn led his cavalry to lurk in the darkness. Like Gu Li, people hold wood, horses hold flowers, and keep silent. Beside him, Agu Yong's eyes shone with excitement. For him, this was a real battle.
Looking up at the moonlight in the sky. The time agreed with Gu Li is almost here. According to the agreement, it will be at midnight on the moon. He will be the first to launch the attack. If Gu Li can't arrive on time, then his assault will become anticlimactic again, and he can only leave with one touch.
"Father, it's time!" Agu Yong on the side reminded, Agu Wynn once again looked up at the moon in the night sky, or this night, it was destined to be bright red.
He got on his horse and drew out the scimitar from his waist with a choking sound. Following his movement, thousands of cavalry rushed up to the horse, spat out the crossbar in his mouth, and stretched out his hand to remove the horse's bit , a large flag was erected under the moonlight.
"Attack!" Agu Wynn pointed forward with his scimitar, and with his legs resting on the horse's belly, the horse neighed and rushed forward.
The surprise attack of thousands of cavalry, being able to lurk above this distance is already a very remarkable achievement. Now they are still several miles away from the opponent's cavalry camp. This distance is enough for the Chu cavalry to make a correct move. However, the Chu army who came all the way did not remove their armor or saddle, and were always ready to deal with the attack of the Han army.
The sound of five thousand horses' hooves galloping was enough to shake the ground. The Chu cavalry camp in the distance immediately blew horns, and the whole camp suddenly became brighter. Branches of cavalry rushed out of the camp and began to line up outside the camp gate, and behind them, more cavalry began to come out to line up.
Outside the cavalry camp, there are no defensive measures in the trenches, because these defenses, while defending the enemy, will also limit the reaction speed of your own cavalry.
At the same time, in the infantry camp of the Chu army a few miles away, there were loud police calls, and the drums of the emergency assembly were beating. The soldiers raised their weapons, rushed out of the barracks, and started The inner formation is different from the cavalry. After they line up, they come out of the camp. They must first go out of the camp through the narrow passage outside the camp before they can deploy the team, and they must beware of being attacked by the Han cavalry at this moment. So the time required is a long process.
If the cavalry of the Han army came to attack, the cavalry would hold them back first, and then the infantry would line up and approach slowly. The purpose was not to annihilate the enemy, but to scare them away.
There are tens of thousands of cavalry in the cavalry camp, so the generals of the Chu army are not very worried.
When Agu Huai'en rushed to about Li Xu from the opponent, the Chu cavalry also began to charge, and they were able to make all preparations for the attack within such a short distance. This Chu cavalry can be regarded as quite Not bad.
"Kill!" Agu Wynn pointed forward with his long knife, and with the other hand, he took out the riding crossbow at his waist. A long time ago, he disdained to use these little tricks when fighting with the enemy's cavalry Yes, he thinks it's only used by cowardly and useless guys, and he prefers to slit the opponent's throat directly with the knife.
However, as he got older, his concept began to change. If he could kill his opponent with a lower price, why not use it! His son Aguyong is a replica of him when he was young, but now with his spare no effort to advocate, his son can start to adopt the simplest method. It simply means that it is directly effective, and it also means that there is a greater possibility of saving lives on the battlefield. In large-scale cavalry operations, the probability of death is not much different from generals to small soldiers. More guards will support and protect you, but you will never know where a cold arrow will come from.
This is the case during the day, but the risk of cavalry fighting at night is greater, or a small pothole on the ground is enough to make you fall into the abyss, fighting at night, many times, you are not killed by the enemy, but because Death by own mistake. Therefore, large-scale cavalry night battles generally rarely occur.
The two torrents crashed into each other. The countless torches lit by both sides illuminated the battlefield brightly, and the camp behind the Chu army was even more brightly lit. The risk is minimized, as for the rest, it can only depend on everyone's luck.
A Gu Huai'en saw his son rushing to the front of the line, and couldn't help but cursed inwardly. My son is an outlier to the traditional Donghu people. This is due to the fact that he is a graduate of the cavalry department of Jicheng Comprehensive University. Sending his son there is also a manifestation of the Donghu people's loyalty to the big man. , The son doesn't like the traditional scimitar of Donghu, but he likes the heavy saber. Agu Huai'en knows that the saber is the weapon that Gao Yuan, the king of the Han, used to fight. His son admires the king of Han very much. When choosing his own When choosing a weapon, he chose this one without hesitation. The horse-chopping knife with a wide opening is infinitely powerful, but it also puts forward extremely high requirements on the user. If the strength is a little weak, this heavy thing will exhaust the user's strength in a short time. Among them, it seems that only Han Wang, a non-human being, can use this kind of weapon. But now, with his own son.
Swinging the saber, Agu Yongxing felt the blood rushing to his head. Every time he swiped and slashed, the opponent's weapons, heads, and war horses would dance in front of him. Relying on his personal courage, he unexpectedly It was abruptly breaking a path from the dense shock wave peak of the Chu army~IndoMTL.com~ against the trend.
The two sides used arrows to arrows, and the result of the fierce collision was, as everyone expected, that the Han army had the upper hand in the battle. Excellent weapons, excellent cavalry armor and riding skills, and superior fighting ability made the Han army They got off to a perfect start in the early days of the battle. They cut deep through the cavalry of the Chu army, and blood flowed everywhere they passed.
However, the Chu Army is obviously not a soft persimmon, what's more, their strength is twice that of the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division. Soon, the Chu Army stabilized the situation and let the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division stir up wind and rain inside. However, they slowly squeezed inward from the periphery to fight against the Donghu cavalry division or the Hun cavalry division of the Han army. The most important thing is to squeeze their combat space so that they have no room to move and reduce their advantage. At the lowest point, in the end, all that remains is the competition of bravery and the crushing of numbers.
Agu Wynn can already feel the troops being trapped in the thick mud. When he looked up and saw his son, the distance between him and himself was also shortened a lot, which represented his momentum of charge. met with great resistance. In the distance, countless dots of torches are approaching here. It is the infantry of the Chu State Infantry Battalion beginning to approach here.
Gu Li, it's time for you to show up! A Gu Huai'en said in his heart, if Gu Li didn't arrive with a stick of incense, he would decide to evacuate. (To be continued.)
