Chapter 37 Attacking the Fish Scale Array
On the mountain in the distance, Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng each held a distant tube and looked at the battlefield far apart.
The battlefield is vast and magnificent. Through the telescope, you can only see local fighting. However, even if you see only local ones, you can only describe it as the word "tragic".
Although they were worried in their hearts, they could not participate in this war. They had done a lot of things, but this kind of frontal battlefield was still the men's business after all, and they could only worry while waiting for the final outcome.
During the melee, Yue Qing faced a barbarian warrior using a mace. The spear and the mace hit several consecutive attacks, which made his arms numb.
The war horses of the two sides almost rubbed each other and crossed each other. Immediately afterwards, the distance between Yue Qing and the fierce barbarian warrior was widened in chaos. Beside him, two enemies were knocked down by spears. On the other side, a cavalry of the Ning family army was maceeded, and they smashed the people and horses together, knocking down their companions next to him.
The battle between the two cavalrymen suddenly became chaotic. Although such chaos is necessary to avoid the impact of the enemy cavalry team's own formation, the hedging of the cavalry is indeed very unfavorable to the Chinese side.
Behind the square formation, a large group of Chinese infantry rushed out. The infantry were divided into two groups, one with a spear, the other with a shield and a scimitar. The spear separated the war horses. The soldiers holding the shield and a scimitar rolled over the ground with the ground, and chopped the horse's legs. They did not rush into the melee cavalry, but followed the periphery to chop the opponent's dispersed barbarian cavalry.
At the same time, more barbarian soldiers came from the rear, and the Ning family army also had new combat power to defeat them. The entire battlefield further expanded and the situation became increasingly chaotic.
In addition to the two square formations at the front, the entire army, Ningjiang adopts the arrangement of "fish scale formations". The troops going out to fight are divided into many small square formations. During combat, the troops in the rear are added in sequence according to different opportunities, which is a method of setting up formations that mainly attacks, which is beneficial to attack but not defense.
This formation, the troops gathered in the center and continued to advance in the battle, but the wings on the back were our own weaknesses, but because they were originally backing their own base camp, their weaknesses were protected to a certain extent.
Of course, interception of enemy cavalry that may attack from the flank at any time is also the top priority. In addition, in the fish scale formation, the commander is usually at the last side of the entire army, and is generally adopted by the commander who has a slightly inferior force or is basically negligible. In the history of another world, "Wuhou" Zhuge Liang used the Yulin formation, and he was at the last side, but the entire army maintained an offensive attitude.
Cao Cao, Li Shimin, Xue Rengui and others who are more confident in their own military power use less or basically do not use the fish scale formation. On the battlefield, most of them are at the center or front of the entire army. Among them, Li Shimin and Xue Rengui are often at the forefront, personally leading the guards and leading the charge.
With the cooperation of infantry specially trained in the Ditang sword, the cavalry intercepted and entangled the enemy's elite cavalry. The main infantry force continued to advance to effectively kill the enemy. This is the overall tactic used by Ningjiang in this battle. It is simple, but obviously effective.
With the advancement of the front line and the replenishment of troops in the rear, Ningjiang stood on the wooden platform, and more than a dozen soldiers pushed the wooden platform, and the wooden wheels rolled under the stage and moved forward continuously.
On both sides of the wooden platform, the supervisory team holding a modao lined up and advanced forward. At the rear of the supervisory team, the riders holding a bright red flag ran back and forth, allowing the soldiers in front to know the position of the bottom line of the entire army. At the same time, they also had a clear attitude to inform all the soldiers... Those who retreated to this line were killed.
As the forward line goes, a large number of people die. The center of the entire battlefield is intertwined and pierced each other.
Among the barbarian army, Meng Yu looked gloomy.
This is the first time that there is a Chinese soldier who can face his army head-on and even have an advantage.
But Meng Yu was not in a hurry. Although the main infantry force of the opposite Chinese army had an advantage, it was not easy to win the final victory in this battle.
There is no supervising team in the barbarian army, nor does it need a supervising team. In the dangerous land of Yinchuan in the north, every man was trained as a soldier since childhood. War is their only way to stand out and gain wealth. It either robs the wealth of other tribes or becomes slaves of other tribes, standing proudly or kneeling humbly, all depends on force. For thousands of years, all people living in Yinchuan have come here.
The bloodiness on the battlefield was buried deep in the blood of everyone in the barbarian soldiers under him. As long as the battle could continue, they would continue to fight.
Meng Yu knew very well that no matter how exquisite the formations of the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side were, as long as they were constantly stalemate, the chaos between the two sides was inevitable. At that time, the strength and patience of the barbarian soldiers would determine the final victory and would belong to them.
In fact, he had seen the opponent's progressive progression gradually scattering the phalanx. Although it was not easy for the battle to gradually become chaotic, this trend could not be reversed. In fact, the opponent's advancement had begun to slow down bit by bit.
On his left side, the barbarian warrior stabbed Ta Lu, looked at the battlefield ahead with a fierce killing, licked his tongue, and showed a fierce expression: "General, do you want me to take someone to kill now?" The heavy blows suffered by the forward made him very dissatisfied, especially over the past few days, he has been harassed, which has made his stomach full of fire.
Meng Yu looked at Nai Qingshan opposite him coldly and said, "Wait."
Even the fierce Tsaru, who was as fierce as a wolf, could only retreat quietly and dare not say anything.
Meng Yu knew that there must be still unspread cavalry on the Naiqing Mountain. If the slaughter Talu led his army to attack the other side of the enemy, the result would be that he would be intercepted by the enemy. Once the cavalry was thrown out and intercepted, it would be difficult to maintain mobility. The most threatening arrow will always be the moment when it was about to shoot out and the enemy did not know where it was shot.
At the same time, in the distance behind Meng Yu, there was an area, as if there were murderous clouds circling in that area. Beside the general, even the blood-filled barbarian soldiers who occasionally looked behind him would subconsciously and tremble slightly, as if there were there, hiding a demon that should not exist in this world.
Meng Yu's thick mouth showed a cruel sneer.
Obviously, the opponent's army still has a killer weapon hidden. At least, the opponent has not used the "fire-breathing beast" that can spit out a fire. Now he wants to see how long the opponent's killer weapon can be hidden?
With a bang, a chariot was overturned by a barbarian warrior. The Chinese soldiers on the chariot began to be trampled back and forth when they jumped off the car and rolled on the ground. The overturned chariot crushed several people, dust shaking, and chaos spread further.
Tang Qi was one of the many palladium-killing soldiers on the right side of the chariot. The shield and sword soldiers on the front of the chariot were defeated by the barbarians. With the cooperation of the wolf hand beside him, he pierced a barbarian soldier and subconsciously swept around. He saw the captain with red tassels on his helmet ten feet away. "Go" he shouted, and spontaneously gathered at the captain Red Tassels with others around him.
When the chariot is still there, follow the chariot, and when the chariot is defeated by the enemy, follow the captain. This is the subconscious reaction he has developed after continuous training over the past few months. Under this spontaneous reaction, the mandarin duck array centered on the chariot was dispersed into two unrelated strands, and then continues to advance.
The Mandarin Duck Formation, also known as the Liangyi Formation, can be divided into two small formations after being defeated in the center. It is impossible to see which one is the captain on the battlefield, so the Red Tassel helmet closest to him has become the most obvious sign, and continues to kill the enemy with Captain Red Tassel as the center.
All the captains of Hongying are rattan soldiers. There are only two captains of Hongying around each chariot. They will never take the initiative to kill the enemy, which ensures their survival rate. After being defeated by the enemy's key attack, they quickly assumed the responsibility of leading the soldiers around them and began to lead the team forward. The essence of the "Mandarin" and "Dong" in the Mandarin Duck Formation is here.
The different functions of different weapons make it easy for everyone to find their place even if the assembly process is scattered. Captain Hongying rushed forward with the remaining shield and sword weapons, and the spearmen followed closely and used the gaps of the shield to assassinate the enemy. There were many iron branches radiating at the front, which could almost block the wolf silence of any weapon, like a trident, and advance along the sides of the team. Most of the enemies were killed by the spearmen and the spearmen protected by the shield and the wolf silence.
Tang Qi really didn't remember how many barbarian soldiers he had killed. Tang Qi stabbed into the chest of a barbarian soldier who came from the side. The barbarian soldier's mace had been separated by the wolf silhouette beside him. Tang Qi pulled out and the team continued to move forward. At this moment, with a horse's neigh, a loud roar was like an ear. Someone was thrown away behind him, and the wind was swept wildly. Tang Qi, who didn't know what was going on, subconsciously turned around and saw the light and shadow shaking in front of him like a lantern, and the entire team also dispersed in an instant.
In the sudden chaos, Tang Qi could no longer find Captain Hongying's position. He gritted his teeth and followed the training these days. His first reaction was to run towards the wolf sir, which was closest to him. Then a shield soldier and a spearman gathered hard. In the chaos, they did not move forward, but under the guidance of the wolf sir, they tried their best to kill their own chariots or flags that could be seen by their naked eyes.
In front of them, a general rode on his horse and tried hard to gather the soldiers beside him. Aside him, more than a dozen soldiers formed a formation and a flag was erected.
This general was not originally in the two square formations at the forefront, but was filled in new powers from the rear in the stairs according to the fish scale formation.
He used to be a general who took the lead in charge. This time, the coach did not even allow him to hold a spear, but sent him a recurve bow, an arrow, and a Yi sword that was actually useless on the horse. So he was forced to put his position in the right place, draw out the Yi sword, and loudly issued orders, assemble, array, and advance.
Always remember your position on the entire battlefield, no matter how you cannot be confused, this is the most important explanation for the coach to them. As a general, this is the first time he has rushed to the front line, but it is not for the purpose of killing people. "Arrangement! Arrangement!" He ran back and forth around his general flag, and the scattered soldiers gathered around him.
On the huge battlefield, many soldiers actually had no time to contact the enemy and fought, and were already scattered for various reasons. The scattered soldiers who could not find their place faced people from all directions, and were helpless, either running around like headless flies, or retreating in panic, thus spreading the panic to others.
One of the uses of the Yuling Formation is that the new forces behind can continuously fill the front line in the form of a small square array, leading the scattered soldiers with signs of collapse in the front, thus always maintaining the attack of the entire army. However, using Yuling as a large formation, with the Yuanyang Formation that can be constantly decomposed and coordinated with the troops as the overall structure of the small formation, the role of the general is no longer to take the lead in charging into the formation, but to constantly gather troops and maintain "for me" of large and small formations.
Since individual soldiers are not as physical as those barbarians, they can win through the cooperation between their troops and weapons. This is the essence of this battle idea. It is precisely because of this that before the war, Ning Jiang would constantly emphasize their position to these generals.
In the rear of the barbarian army, Meng Yu frowned tightly. The resilience of the Chinese army on the opposite side was completely beyond his expectations. Although chaos had begun to arise, it always maintained a chaotic and unbreakable attacking attitude. On the contrary, on his side, the barbarian soldiers in front continued to pay a tragic price in the chaos, and then were constantly pushed by the enemy. Although his barbarian soldiers were better than the opponent, the result was that his side continued to retreat, and the unexpected situation had not yet appeared.
"General!" Zhi Talu couldn't hold back again.
But Man Yu's eyes looked at the other side of Naiqing Mountain again. Now, perhaps it was a good time to let Tsar Ta Lu go to fight. The entire front line was getting closer and closer to him. At this moment, let Tsar Ta Lu go out of the battle and kill people from the enemy's left wing. The hidden cavalry on the opposite side might not have time to intercept. As long as Tsar Ta Lu can penetrate the enemy's infantry...
