The west wind was strong, the wind was blowing, the horses were roaring, and the majestic and awe-inspiring atmosphere spread out from the ranks of the Taiping Army.
Luo Xiao was naturally confident when he dared to form an array to meet the enemy. If he really had nothing to do, he would not rely on his ability to attack the stone with eggs.
The Taiping Army has its own advantages. It is more determined than the Han Army. The elite Taiping warriors have extremely high personal qualities and are large in number.
Although they are at an absolute disadvantage, they are not in a situation where they are being crushed and have no ability to fight back.
If Zhang Jiao or anyone in the world were to take command, facing the unparalleled commander Huangfu Song and the powerful Han army, there would be no victory but defeat.
But Luo Xiao is different. He is the exception. Back then, Han Wu Mu Neng led a group of new soldiers to pacify the north in just a few years. Now Luo Ziling leads the Jiuzhou Li Shu, and it is not a problem to shake the world of the Han Dynasty.
In other words, just in Hebei, on this battlefield, Luo Xiao could use the Taiping Army, which was obviously weaker, to be on par with the Han Army, even without any clever tactics.
This means that destiny has been lost, and everyone depends on their own abilities.
There are many swords and soldiers, and the evil spirit is in the air. The traces of yesterday's battle have not been removed, and a new round has begun.
The infantry of the Han army with bright armor were displayed in a neat manner. At first glance, they looked like an elite division. The sound of groaning could not help but come from the crotch. Knights were wandering behind and on the flanks, not only wearing swords and sharp blades, but also There are also horses, bows, crossbows, etc., Wan
Like sharp knives, they are ready to pounce at any time, rush through the torn holes, and completely tear apart the enemy's formation.
Luo Xiao was not surprised when he saw that the Han army was in perfect order and there seemed to be no flaws in the formation.
After all, that was Huangfu Song. If he couldn't even figure out the military formation, that would be the most ridiculous thing in the world.
But the formation of the Taiping Army is not bad. Although the Taiping Army's tactical literacy is not as good as the elite Han Army that has experienced many battles, their advantage is that they work together. Unlike the Han Army, which is full of hills and mountains, they can complete Luo Xiao's orders to the letter. .
As soon as Luo Xiao took command today, his orders were so clear that the whole army even felt refreshed.
Huangfu Song didn't know, and no one in the world knew what happened between Luo Xiao and Zhang Jiao.
After these days of testing, he had a general understanding of the strength of the Taiping Army and the strength of Zhang Jiao and Zhongqushuai.
It’s just a middle-aged person’s capital.
The reason why they failed to win a big victory before was just because the Taiping Army was in a state of mourning. But how could such a thing as status blessing be available all the time?
Seeing the Taiping troops in formation, Huangfu Song was not surprised but overjoyed. He smiled proudly and said to the people around him: "The leader of the thieves is so ignorant that he is so arrogant.
It is so foolish to really think that the rebel army can resist our elite Han Dynasty. I am afraid that the chaos of the Taiping Army will be put down overnight.
This is the blessing of the Han Dynasty. "
After saying this, he burst out laughing, and everyone around him laughed.
If you look carefully, you can see that there is no smile in the depths of Huangfusong's eyes. He travels east, west, north and south, and never underestimates any opponent.
Although he said these words from the bottom of his heart, he would not have any contempt for the Taiping Army because of this.
In particular, he felt that the Taiping Army was obviously a little better than before, and its formation was more neat. As for substitution, he had never thought about it.
As soon as they fought, Huangfu Song felt relieved. The stagnation between the dispatches, the sparse cooperation between the military formations, and the coordinated attacks among the battalions and arms were no different from the previous few days. This neat The military formation is just a showpiece.
"The bandit army will be destroyed today!"
Huangfu Song ordered the soldiers to beat drums, and all battalions cooperated in the attack. The soldiers wore armor and strangled the Taiping troops.
After less than an hour of fighting, the Taiping Army could not withstand the fierce attack of the Han army and began a classic rout, with the entire battalion even retreating directly.
When Huangfu Song saw it, he made a brief observation and found that the Taiping Army's retreat was unorganized and was a typical rout retreat. He was an old general, and his rich experience told him that this was the best time to expand the results of the battle.
He smoked immediately
He drew his sharp sword and shouted loudly: "The bandit army has been defeated. The Yulin Guards mounted their horses and led Mikawa Erlang to pursue them one after another. They must kill all the young men." "No!"
The earth-shaking shouts resounded through the clouds. The Imperial Feather Forest and the Pearl of the Han Dynasty were not big soldiers, but officers.
The military system of the Han Dynasty was a conscription system.
In the early days of the Han Dynasty, three thousand royal feathers went out to fight. All the way from Chang'an, Liangjiazi from six counties joined the army. When they entered Mobei, there was an army of 100,000 or even 200,000 people.
During the Later Han Dynasty, the six counties declined, and the knights from the three counties of Hedong, Henan, and Hanoi completely replaced the status of the good men in the six counties.
The Three Rivers Knights led by the two royal guards, Yu Lin Hu Ben, were the most elite troops of the Han royal family.
The emperor sold his officials, imposed excessive taxes, and indulged the eunuchs, not only for his own enjoyment, but also to ensure the loyalty of the army.
Although this is a way to catch all the water, at least it is very effective for now. If there are ministers who are capable of governing the world, they must be specially approved in large numbers, because this method harms the foundation of the world.
To put it more clearly, I used to be able to live with a hungry meal, but now I eat the leek roots in order to be full. When I finish eating the leek roots and I'm hungry again, let alone being full, I won't even have a chance to starve. Will starve to death.
The reason why the current emperor is criticized is because the world is not so bad that he needs to drink poison to quench his thirst, but every move he makes is aimed at the foundation of the great man. On the surface, it seems to be quite effective, but in fact it is the cause of cholera in the world. The culprit.
"Habayashi Wushuang! The great man of ten thousand years!"
As the horses of the Yulin Guards strode forward, loud shouts sounded like thunder, and the whole land seemed to be shaking. The Taiping Army's escape became more chaotic, and even the faces of the commanders were full of panic. The color is like a headless fly.
"Failed but not broken, broken but not dispersed, scattered but not chaotic, chaotic but able to gather together."
Luo Xiao stood with some Qu commanders and pointed to the place where the two armies were fighting: "This is the essence of the Huaiyin Book of War. Once you learn these sixteen words, there is no strategy in the world that cannot be used to lure the enemy deep. It's easy to plan and then act."
All the Taiping Army commanders were a little stunned and looked at each other in disbelief. Some of these people were even illiterate. The art of war was too advanced for them.
Luo Xiao didn't care and said in a deep voice: "The Han army has fallen into the trap. Send an order to all armies to work together to encircle and annihilate!"
Pretend to be defeated and lure the enemy deeper.
For thousands of years, countless famous generals have failed due to repeated trials.
Because this plan has too high requirements for the commander, few people will do it. Just pretending to be defeated eliminates most generals.
I don’t know how many generals would dare to use this method to fake a rout but turn it into a real rout. They usually just lure the enemy deeper.
But facing a famous general like Huangfu Song, unless the emperor kept urging him to attack, it would be difficult to simply lure the enemy deeper.
When the Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty led the Sanhe Knights to pursue them all the way, but the battle line was getting longer and longer, someone finally felt that something was wrong!
What is the greatest advantage of the Taiping Army? Of course there are many people!
There are many people but not enough elites. This trait may not be an advantage when gathering in formation to fight, but once the battle line is lengthened, the advantages of having many people will be immediately revealed.
With one cavalry and a thousand cavalry, the increase in battlefield dominance is not a thousand times, but more than ten thousand times.
...
It was slightly cloudy and rainy, and the field of vision was blocked. Only a continuous stream of people could be seen.
The loud shouts that shook the sky overwhelmed everything. Looking around, I couldn't see the sky above or the earth below.
The powerful strength of the Habayashi Guards caused heavy losses to the Taiping Army, but strategic victory is the final chapter of everything.
To put it bluntly, is it profitable to exchange a Taiping soldier for a Yulin guard?
Everyone knows it!
Huangfusong looked at the scene in front of him and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He was not afraid of the loss of Yu Linwei. The big man had a profound foundation and could afford to lose.
He was afraid of what the Taiping commander embodied.
His abilities, from pretending to be defeated and luring the enemy deep into the enemy, to now being able to command and dispatch in the continuous rain, all prove that this is an unparalleled commander!
I was deceived!
I hunted geese all day long but got pecked in the eye! "Da da da!"
Huangfusong raised his head and looked at the figures in the rain and the corpses lying on the ground. The bright red color washed down with the rain. He understood that this battle was hopeless. He was about to leave with his bodyguards when suddenly there was a loud sound. The sound came through the heavy rain curtain.
"Huangfu Song!
Go tell the emperor of Luoyang that I will go to the palace and chop off his head on behalf of all the people in the world, as well as those officials. "
Jiao and Song fought in Hebei. They fought nine times a day. Royal Yulin and Sanhe Knights were all killed. Their corpses were floating like trees, but Song escaped. The world was shaken, the capital was horrified, and Jiao's name was prosperous. ——"Book of the Later Han·Biography of Zhang Jiao"
