Turbulent Times Chapter 1152: The reserve team led by Li Xuanba

People turned on their backs, blood splattered everywhere, the howling of soldiers, the neighing of war horses, and the sound of explosions one after another, accompanied by the sound of drums and horns. In the smoke, on the two wings of the battlefield, they were completely caught in a dark fight.

In Shen Guoer's eyes, the confrontation of the light cavalry on the two wings was really shocking, but in fact the battlefield on the front of the Chinese army was more tragic than that on the two wings. The cavalry of the Goguryeo Central Army, which was about to be defeated before, became extremely fierce at this time, and their strength seemed to be even larger. At this time, they were fighting with Yuchi Jingde's subordinates who had slowed down. Not a little underwhelming.

The cavalry of the Sui army gathered in the late period of 6,000 has been sent by Wang Junlin to rescue Yuchi Jingde. They entangled tightly, and then another 10,000 cavalrymen frantically attacked Yuchi Jingde's 3,000 cavalrymen.

There are only Wang Junlin, Shen Guoer, and various command and signal soldiers on the rear command frame. Besides Wang Junlin's five hundred personal soldiers, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba each have a thousand cavalry as a reserve team. Did not move.

Wang Junlin hesitated for a while, and sent Luo Shixin out.

Luo Shixin couldn't hold back for a long time, raised a big gun and yelled, leading a thousand cavalry to rush out, and fought with the Goguryeo cavalry. He galloped from left to right, flying back and forth, and killed thousands of Goguryeo cavalry in an instant, especially Luo Shixin killed nearly a hundred of them by himself. He couldn't help but praise: "Luo Shixin is so brave."

Li Xuanba who was not far away curled his lips disapprovingly, and said in his heart: "This is so insignificant!"

The fight was inextricable, but Wang Junlin refused to send the thousand cavalry led by Li Xuanba into the battle, and instead let them stay by his side to watch the battle. This made Li Xuanba very anxious, but he did not dare to urge him .

At the beginning of the battle, Shen Guoer was still a little nervous, and it was difficult for him to distinguish some subtle changes in the battle situation. It was difficult for him to judge which were fleeting opportunities and which were just before the battle

The usual things that happened in the middle of the battle, but at this point in the battle, Shen Guo'er had already become calm and calm. Although it was still impossible to see through the details at a glance, the changes in the entire battle situation were clearly printed on the screen. into her head.

"Guo'er, what do you think there is after the melee of the Chinese army?" Wang Junlin retracted the binoculars, and suddenly pointed his whip to the rear of their middle battlefield.

"It must be a trap of the Goguryeo people." Shen Guoer replied without thinking, "The Goguryeo people must have set up an ambush to trap the former army of the Chinese army."

Wang Junlin nodded, stared at the middle of the road intently, and suddenly shouted: "Li Xuanba, why do you think the Goguryeo people used such tactics?"

Li Xuanba was taken aback by his question, and then said: "I think it must be because they are fighting in chaos!"

"Why is Li fighting in chaos?" Wang Junlin suddenly turned his head and glanced at Li Xuanba.

But I heard Li Xuanba say again: "I guess it's because the Goguryeo people considered that we have more troops than them, so they want our people to cut off contact and fight on their own, so that he can defeat them one by one!"

Wang Junlin praised: "Yes, so we must break through a gap as soon as possible, left, center, right, no matter which one, as long as it succeeds, we can take the initiative, and the calculations of the Goguryeo people will come to nothing."

Speaking of this, Wang Junlin probably felt that the time had come, so he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Li Xuanba, do you think you can break through a gap with a thousand people?"

Not waiting for Li Xuanba to answer, Wang Junlin said again: "Goguryeo is a soldier who has fought a hundred battles, and his riding skills are superb. You use horses against horses, and you are well prepared to attack them. If you have a thousand more horses, you may not be able to win easily. Besides, if we attack the left side, the Goguryeo people may not be unable to save the left side, and if we attack the right side, the Goguryeo people may not be unable to save the right side.”

Wang Junlin slapped the whip lightly, and said: "The art of war says that it is unexpected and unprepared. Li Xuanba, where do you think the Goguryeo army is most unprepared at this time?"

"Uncle Master?" Li Xuanba's eyes lit up.

"You idiot, I only understood at this time. If it wasn't for worrying that you didn't understand the reason and affect this clever plan, I wouldn't bother to tell you so much. You see, there are tens of thousands of people on the scene

People are fighting in a melee, with a radius of no less than five or six miles. If you, a thousand people, move, the Goguryeo people don't have overheads, and they don't have binoculars. They will never discover the intentions of your thousand people. "Wang Junlin glared at Li Xuanba before saying.

"Disciple takes orders!" Li Xuanba responded loudly, turned to face his thousand cavalry, and shouted in a deep voice: "Listen to my orders and act!"

In the midst of the melee, the one thousand reserve team led by Li Xuanba beside Wang Junlin disappeared without a trace.

Before they knew it, the fierce battle between Goguryeo's 50,000 cavalry and Wang Junlin's total of 70,000 cavalry had lasted for more than two hours. For Yuan Taizuo, the combat power of his cavalry did not disappoint him, but the combat power of Wang Junlin's cavalry surprised him. In the situation of the war, Wang Junlin had some judgments about the combat strength of the army under his command. He originally thought that as long as the tactics were right, 50,000 cavalry could deal with only 5,000 Wang Junlin's direct line, plus 6,000 defeated Sui troops, and 60,000 Baekje and Silla troops. country is enough. This can be regarded as giving Wang Junlin a relatively high position, but after all, he has not experienced it himself, so there is still a mistake in the final judgment.

The combat effectiveness of Wang Junlin's direct cavalry exceeded his expectations. Even at this time, they still failed to eat up Yuchi Jingde's 3,000 troops who were surrounded by Yuchi Jingde as expected.

The biggest change, or the most unexpected thing happened, was that the cavalry under Wang Junlin's command was actually a qualified infantryman. He had never seen a cavalry man who was also proficient in fighting in a skilled infantry battle formation. But it happened right before his eyes.

Yuchi Jingde was good at adapting to the situation. They originally carried bows and crossbows. After Yuchi Jingde found out that he had been tricked and understood the intention of the Goguryeo cavalry, they quickly found a countermeasure. He gave an order, and without even waiting for his order, under the command of those low-level military officers, all the cavalry dismounted one after another, with the horses on the outside, and the soldiers in the middle, forming a round formation of infantry one by one, fighting with the Goguryeo cavalry with strong bows and crossbows. fighting.

Under Wang Junlin's request, every cavalry soldier and every navy officer and soldier under his command must first be a qualified infantryman.
