On the battlefield, which soldier scares the enemy the most?
It is a surprise weapon, a weapon that catches the enemy by surprise.
The four heterosexual kings of Dahua Kingdom have all had their own armies since the founding of the dynasty: the Arrow Feather Army of the Huangfu Family of Youmin County, the Hongying Army of the Baili Family of Tianshuang County, and the Silver Armor Army of the Gongyang Family of Cangsheng County. As well as the armored army of the Zhuge family in Limin County. These four royal armies are well-equipped and rigorously trained, and their combat power is far beyond that of ordinary city defenders and supervisory defense armies.
Prince Zhuge's armored army totaled 140,000, of which 40,000 were stationed in Huangzhou, an important town in Limin County. The leader of this 40,000-strong Huangzhou garrison was Zhuge Pingtai, the third son of Zhuge Teng and the third uncle of Zhuge Xingchen.
In the middle of the night on the 23rd, Zhuge Pingtai suddenly received a secret letter from his father's cronies, ordering him to quickly lead troops to rescue Suzhou. The news that the Shatuo Kingdom had invaded Suzhou had already spread. Huangzhou is the nearest garrison in Suzhou, and Zhuge Pingtai has already prepared for war and is ready to respond to the enemy at any time. After receiving a secret letter from his father, he made some preparations, put on armor and mounted his troops at dawn, leading 30,000 armored cavalry towards Suzhou in the southwest.
Suzhou and Lizhou are about four hundred miles apart. The heavy cavalry army is not as fast as the light cavalry army. They rested while marching and they arrived at Sisi today. Zhuge Pingtai knew that Shatuo's army was stationed not far outside Suzhou City, and he did not dare to enter any further, so he camped on the spot to rest and make food. They also sent out scouts to inspect the area intensively and report immediately if there was any movement. At three o'clock in the morning, the scouts sent word that the two sides were already fighting each other. Only then did Zhuge Pingtai order the troops to march for reinforcements. At this time, the soldiers and horses had rested and had enough food, and their morale was high. They came with such mighty momentum that Shatuo scouts were frightened when they saw it, and they hurriedly sounded the warning.
When Chihedan sent troops this time, the Chinese army formed a "four-door pocket formation" to facilitate defense. This is the regular formation where the main general is located.
As for Chi Doha's forward battalion, due to heavy battle losses and almost all of the remaining 20,000 generals wounded, it was really difficult for them to take on the task of attacking the enemy, so they retreated to the left and formed a "flying geese formation" with the Chinese army. Sweeping array.
Azig's 55,000 troops were originally the right-wing army, and their responsibilities were to protect and outflank them. At this time, they were pushed up to serve as the vanguard. Azig has been watching the battles in the past few days and has clearly seen that the Suzhou garrison is extremely powerful in individual combat, but lacks coordination with each other. Therefore, he deliberately listed this "Two Dragons Water Formation" in order to make everything out of it. Second, separate and encircle them and annihilate them.
Before going to battle, Mei Siyuan found Xu Ding'an and said: "We only have more than 10,000 troops, and even if Shatuo's army has suffered losses these days, it is estimated that there are still 180,000 or 90,000 troops. The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, so we should follow the usual method of fighting. , at most, they only kill more enemies, but have no chance of winning. Today the enemy is attacking with heavy troops, and they are determined to complete their victory in one battle, so Suzhou City will be destroyed!"
Xu Ding'an was startled and asked: "Old Xu, I just feel that I have nothing to do. Does Mr. Mei have any good ideas?"
"There is only one way. You can't defeat the enemy, but you can retreat from it." Mei Siyuan replied.
Xu Ding'an said happily: "Oh? Come on, tell me!"
Mei Siyuan had already considered everything and said loudly: "Instead of defending, we used attack. More than 5,000 cavalrymen formed a 'long snake formation' and drove straight in. They stormed the enemy's forward camp and disrupted their formation; while the infantry followed behind. , list out the 'Five Tigers and Sheep Formation', and separate the enemy's chaotic formations one by one, so that their general orders cannot be executed. If the general orders are not executed, the group will be leaderless, and it will be difficult to fight again. Chihedan may withdraw his troops with gold."
"This plan is wonderful!" Xu Ding'an listened intently and found it hard to believe. After thinking about it carefully, he found that it was indeed very feasible, so he laughed and praised it.
Azige also thought about cutting the Suzhou garrison into pieces and then dividing them to annihilate them. Unexpectedly, his army was separated by Xu Ding'an and Mei Siyuan first. Almost all of his troops were infantry, and their movements were far inferior to the five thousand light cavalry in Suzhou, so they were unable to react in time. But at this moment, Xu Ding'an led more than two hundred cavalry to the depths of the forward camp, only a hundred feet away from Azige.
The dust was billowing and the sound of horses trampling was deafening. Chihedan began to realize that something was not right, and shouted loudly: "Where is the scout? Find out the enemy situation on the left as soon as possible and report!"
The scout Baifu had reported earlier and had already sounded the alarm, but Chihedan said that he did not need to pay attention to it. At this time, he felt aggrieved and went down to explore the enemy in despair.
Before the scout Baifu came to report, the formation of the armored army appeared in front of Chi Hedan: it was a huge heavy cavalry "Yanyue Formation"!
The so-called "Yanyue Formation" can also be called "Crescent Formation". When attacking the enemy, the entire army forms an arc, shaped like a crescent moon, with the two sides forward and the middle concave. They are especially good at attacking the enemy's flanks. The moon rings on both sides of the formation are thick and round, which can resist enemy encirclement. The crescent recess in the middle of the formation seems to be the weakest, but in fact it is where the general is located and often has the strongest combat power, but it actually contains dangers.
Unfortunately, Suzhou's reinforcements were on the flank of Shatuo's army, and they were at the forefront of the art of war. The reinforcements were heavy cavalry, with strong impact and fast movement, so they were most suitable for setting up this "Yan Yue Formation".
When Chi Hedan saw this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "It's not a trick to suspect the soldiers? Why are these reinforcements so powerful?" A flash occurred in his mind, and he suddenly shouted, "No, it's the armored army of Prince Zhuge's Palace." !”
At this time, the other five generals under Chi Hedan's account had already noticed this change, and they couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"Boru Jisan, your left army is facing the enemy head-on. Chi Doha, your forward battalion is assisting from the side! We must stop them!" Chi Hedan shouted. Borukisan and Chidoha took the order and hurriedly led more than 50,000 generals to meet them.
Although the remaining defenders of his unit were fighting, Azig kept paying attention to the enemy situation on the left. He saw dust rising for miles in the distance and the sound of hoofbeats booming, which made him feel uneasy.
Xu Ding'an and Mei Siyuan also knew that reinforcements were coming. They forgot their pain for a moment and rushed forward with fighting spirit. "Zhang Hanzi! Follow me and kill that enemy general!" Xu Ding'an licked the blood from his mouth, pointed at Azig and shouted loudly.
At this time, Xu Ding'an led Zhang Donghai and more than a hundred people to the enemy's forward camp commander's position, which was only thirty or forty feet away from Azig. After listening to Xu Ding'an's words, Zhang Donghai turned the gun in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and kill, and make a way for the general!" After saying this, he led more than 30 people to rush forward in a frenzy.
Why is it crazy? Don't worry about your life, don't care about the weapons and halberds, just keep going forward to kill. More than thirty riders rushed towards Azig in a suicidal manner, using their horses and bodies to carve a bloody path.
Seeing these thirty people, Xu Ding'an slowly fell down, with tears left behind to wash away the blood. He smiled and said, "Okay, idiot!" Yan Bi jumped off his horse and rushed over on the bodies of these thirty people.
"Block him! Block him!" When Azige saw Xu Ding'an coming to kill him, he looked frightened and hurriedly scolded and tried to stop him. However, he only said half of the words before he could no longer speak. Xu Ding'an stabbed a long stick through his throat. His eyes widened and he was horrified, but he felt that the life in his body was being sucked out. He had no more strength and fell down unwillingly.
"Ah! Ah!" Xu Ding'an was stabbed once in his right chest and left hand. He was bleeding and was about to die. Fortunately, more than a hundred cavalry behind him rushed over and protected him in the middle.
Both Borukisan and Chidoha were well-known generals in the Shatuo Kingdom. As soon as their troops engaged with the Iron Armored Army today, they felt a faint sense of fear. The infantry had an absolute psychological disadvantage against the heavy cavalry, not to mention the huge "Moon Formation" put up by the armored army, which made the more than 50,000 Shatuo army mistakenly think that this support army was stronger than their own. many. Moreover, the Shatuo Army was originally the attacking side and had not prepared antler trees, iron caltrops, horse pits, horse-rejecting stakes and other defenses in advance, so it was completely unable to stop the Iron Armored Army's offensive in advance.
If you are timid before fighting, you will be defeated before fighting.
30,000 people fought against 50,000 people, but the scene was like 300,000 people fighting against 50,000 people. Wherever the cavalry went, Shatuo turned his soldiers on their backs and was defeated.
"Tajimu, you lead the army to outflank the armored army from the right!" Chihedan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly sent Tajimu, another general under his command, to outflank the armored army from the right. At this time, four of the six generals under his command had been dispatched, and the remaining two were the left and right generals of the central army, and they could never be dispatched again. Tajimu is actually his last hope.
Tajimu led 20,000 troops out of the camp and headed to the right.
The scouts came to report that the enemy camp had sent 20,000 troops and were heading to the right. Zhuge Pingtai felt very regretful when he heard this. At this time, he had adjusted his formation and was in the process of encirclement. The enemy was encircling him from the right, so he could only open the gap and lead his troops to defend.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Nearly a thousand Qingqi quickly joined the battle, blocking Tajimu's 20,000-strong army. It was Mei Yuanchen who led his troops over.
The wind, the wind has not stopped today. At this time, it was blowing towards Tajimu's army.
With more than 800 cavalry lined up in front of him, Tajimu thought to himself: "With these people coming to stop me, are they looking down on me or looking down on themselves?"
Mei Yuanchen felt the wind, with a smile on his face, and sighed softly: "God bless Suzhou!" When the enemy troops got closer and closer, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Put lime!"
After receiving the order, everyone on the horse picked up the big bag that had previously contained tung oil, opened the hoop and threw it together, and the lime powder in the sky blew towards the 20,000 Shatuo army.
