Wu Kai firmly believed in his judgment. He never believed that the barbarians could play any trick of encirclement and reinforcements at the Jianchuan front-line military station. Now they were attacking from the front and encircling from behind. These were just pretense, just to scare people. Otherwise, why is the right wing empty? Isn't it just to leave a window for people to escape?
This little trick seemed a bit naive to Wu Kai.
Moreover, the formation has now withstood the initial impact, and its structure is stable. The soldiers can just do what they did during training. Before any major changes occur, Wu Kai has absolute confidence that he can withstand it and even kill a large number of enemies. .
Now this battlefield is extremely favorable to Wu Kai. In front is the Yushi Military Station. Although it is blazing with fire, it will definitely not be taken down. Otherwise, the barbarians surrounding them at this time will not be the only ones in front of them.
In addition, although the main formation of the Chinese army behind was still far away, General Li Shen's troops were already very close and had already responded in advance.
Surround him from behind in a pincer-shaped battle formation? Wu Kai couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It seemed that General Li Shen was not prepared to leave a way for the barbarians who were stuck behind him to survive.
"Command flag! Replace the front row of spearmen and enter the rotation early!"
After the initial impact was withstood and the monks began to look for the monks on the opposite side, the battle formation had stabilized. Wu Kai asked the soldiers who were in front to retreat in advance in order to save physical strength and spread the consumption to as many soldiers as possible. What if there is still a battle to be fought later?
Half a stick of incense time passed, and Wu Kai frowned slightly while riding on the horse, because he found that after he had just ordered to rotate the spearmen, the barbarians on the opposite side did not seize the opportunity to attack fiercely. On the contrary, they behaved far less fiercely than before. .
Is this...wanting to get away?
"This is interesting. It's a bit clever." Wu Kai immediately figured out the other party's intention of attacking him from both front and back.
"Everyone has the command flag. The front army will become the rear army! Cooperate with General Li Shen to concentrate his troops to annihilate the enemy who can attack from a flank!"
Once the rhombus formation is compacted, it is not suitable for changing the formation midway. This will lead to the possibility of the formation being loosened and loosened. Once the rhombus formation is formed, it will not be easily changed unless absolutely necessary. However, the exchange of front and rear armies is very simple. It has no impact on the structure of the battle formation and only indicates a change in the direction of attack.
In other words, compared to before, Wu Kai changed the main attack direction of the battle formation.
When the opponent wants to run away, when you take the initiative, you naturally want to stick to the opponent and prevent him from getting away easily. However, due to the relationship between the Ling formation, Wu Kai could only choose one side from the front and back as his main attack direction.
Compared to the front, he chose the back where General Li Shen would outflank and form an encirclement.
"Woo, woo..."
The horn sounded from the rear, and General Li Shen's troops arrived. At this time, the barbarians who had been fiercely attacking began to retreat significantly. The front line was not stuck because they had become the rear army. However, the barbarians who had tried to outflank Wu Kai and rounded off from the left were now killed. He was pressed in place and it was difficult to move.
Compared with the part of the barbarians that had begun to retreat, these barbarians who were stuck and unable to move seemed to be struggling to the death. They counterattacked so fiercely that some barbarian monks even appeared directly, regardless of the actions of the monks from the Jingying Mansion around them. He immediately attacked the soldiers in the formation. Knowing that he could not escape, he wanted to give it a try and see if he could help his soldiers escape.
However, when a pincer-shaped battle formation pressed up from behind and quickly clamped down on the barbarian, the situation became calm again. Crazy in front of a hard spear will not make the person holding the gun feel scared, on the contrary, it will only accelerate the killing.
Moreover, General Li's purpose and thoughts were obviously more thoughtful than Wu Kai's. After the pincer-shaped battle formation pinched the trapped barbarians behind, a group of men and horses were sent out from the right wing and went around the right side to cover the retreating barbarians, probably hoping to hold them back again.
This has nothing to do with Wu Kai. Because after General Li Shen came up, he received orders to cooperate with the pincer battle formation to completely wipe out the surrounding enemies. He didn't have the energy to participate in pursuits or other matters later.
After a stick of incense, Wu Kai ordered half of the formation to disperse, forming scattered soldiers to set up perimeter defenses. A small diamond formation had been maintained inside just in case.
Wu Kai went to see General Li Shen to report the battle situation. The remaining soldiers rested where they were, leaving part of their mouths alive to serve as tongues, and then all the rest were killed with finishing blows.
In the eyes of the military, it is not yet time to capture barbarian slaves. Only dead barbarians are good barbarians now. Prisoners? what is that?
At this time, the main formation of the Chinese Army had also appeared in the distance. Seeing the signal, they directed the three soldiers to rush towards the Yushi Military Station to help.
Li Shenjiang was very happy to take the time to meet Wu Kai, and even praised him with words.
"Now the right-wing forward battalion has not encountered such an obstacle as you. It has already rushed to the Yushi Soldier Station to participate in the rescue. Our troops will follow and take the opportunity to chase and attack for a while. You performed very well this time, the military commander is here The commendation said that you won the first battle in this first battle, and it will be recorded in the roll of honors truthfully. You will report the merits of the soldiers under your command yourself, and I will also step up the registration for you.
Okay, no need to be polite, just fix it up and then come up and join me. "
General Li Shen patted Wu Kai's arm hard before leaving, with a kind smile on his face. He was very satisfied with Wu Kai's excellent performance in this encounter.
First of all, do not be afraid of the enemy. After encountering the enemy, the first reaction is to form a formation to attack, without weakening the momentum of the mixed army in the first battle. It also gave a good start to the soldiers behind and raised their prestige.
Secondly, in the following battles, Wu Kai took the initiative throughout the whole process and did not rashly adopt a radical attack. Instead, he used the diamond formation to have both offense and defense and successfully judged the battlefield trend. He chose to switch the front and rear armies to successfully delay and cooperate with the backup to annihilate a large number of barbarians.
Generally speaking, the credit for winning the first battle is not small, and Wu Kai is very satisfied. At the same time, he also knew that he should not be too greedy. There were so many people in the army, and their heads, big and small, were all tied up in their belts to make a living, killing enemies and earning merit. Wu Kai was lucky enough to get the first victory in the first battle, so he had to stop it, otherwise no one would like him.
But in the final analysis, fighting is not a good thing, and people will die. It is a kind of competition, the one who has fewer deaths wins, or the one who can afford to die wins.
But who dies? This is not a pleasant topic. So the smile on Wu Kai's face only lasted for a very short moment, and then he felt heavy after the casualties reported by the adjutant.
"Sir, seventy-eight people were killed, sixteen were seriously injured, and the current number is three hundred and nineteen with minor injuries."
This casualty is not low. You must know that it was only less than an hour before we got together. Moreover, many of those killed in battle were monks who served as blades in the formation, which would have an impact on many battle formation deployments in the future.
"Collect the bodies, deal with the wounded, and the rest will repair where they are."
