Chapter 41 Vortex Tactics
"Report to the battalion commander! I have some suggestions!" Qi Jun saw that he had not reached the point just now. Seeing the opportunity, Qi Jun immediately stood up, clasped his fists and shouted loudly.
After getting Zhang Wei's nod, he continued: "My subordinates suggest that the cavalry attack the Southern barbarian crowd to break up the Southern barbarian crowd, divide the battlefield, and then use the infantry to clear out and capture the enemies one by one!"
"My subordinates believe that what the commander of the light cavalry formation said is wrong. The infantry should divide the enemy and then capture and capture it. The light cavalry can prevent the enemy from escaping, or chase the enemy who escapes!"
When the commander of the close combat formation heard that the remaining army wanted to reduce his people to thugs again, he stood up with dissatisfaction and said, for this reason, in his words, he deliberately pulled the long range attack formation to his side.
Coming!
When he made the suggestion, he especially emphasized the word "light" in the light cavalry, so that the rest of the army would know that your light cavalry should not rush into the formation, as there will be great losses!
"Liu Yan, what you said is wrong. What's wrong with us being light cavalry? Can't light cavalry charge into the formation?" Qi Jun argued to Liu Yan, the leader of the melee formation.
Liu Yan chuckled, glanced sideways at Qi Jun, and said softly: "Your Majesty said you should pay attention to losses. If you do this, you won't be afraid that the loss will be too big and you can't explain it to your Majesty!"
"What are you doing? What kind of place is this? How can I allow you to be so arrogant!" Zhang Wei roared as he saw the two of them getting closer and closer.
Only then did the two of them realize that they had gone too far, and they quickly bent down and clasped their fists, saluted and apologized: "I know I was wrong, and I ask the battalion commander to punish me!"
Zhang Wei ignored the two of them and turned to the leader of the distant attack formation: "Yan Ren, what suggestions do you have?"
Yan Ren, the commander of the Far Offensive Army Formation, is cautious and has a sharp mind, but his personality is a bit unsuitable for being a soldier because he feels like he doesn't care about anything!
Yan Ren did not speak at this time. Anyway, all his men were responsible for long-range strikes and could not participate in these tactics.
He thought to himself, my people are only responsible for killing people, not arresting people, you fight for yours.
But the battalion commander asked him to say it. If he didn't say anything, it would be too disrespectful to the battalion commander. He rolled his eyes and stood up.
"Battal Commander, my subordinates suggest that the whole battalion be divided into multiple teams and attack from different directions at the same time! The cavalry will fill the gaps!"
Zhang Wei felt a little interesting at this time and said: "Yan Ren, continue to share your thoughts!"
He has no interest in the dispute between Qi Jun and Liu Yan. It doesn't matter if they let the two compete a little bit. This shows that they are very motivated. As long as they have a good sense of proportion, this is a good thing!
"Yes, battalion commander!" Yan Ren, the commander of the far-offensive formation, cupped his fists and said, "The whole battalion can be divided into nine teams, and under the leadership of each captain, they can clear it from multiple directions!"
"There is no need to set up an encirclement, just sweep in from the outermost periphery to the middle. When we finally face the large tribe, the entire battalion should have assembled all its forces!"
His suggestion was based on Liu Yan’s idea just now.
Yan Ren finished his general idea, but he did not explain details such as how to divide the teams, attack from several directions, and how to communicate!
"Very good, Yan Ren. Of the three commanders of the formation, you are the only one who makes me worry the most!"
Zhang Wei usually doesn't praise his subordinates easily. This time Qi Jun and Liu Yan went too far. He used this method to remind them that there is no use in arguing. Only real and useful suggestions are the best.
Your own correct method!
When Yan Ren heard the battalion commander praising him, he smiled slightly and didn't say much. He clasped his fists at Zhang Wei and sat back in his seat without saying a word!
Zhang Wei looked at Yan Ren's performance, satisfied and a little helpless at the same time. He turned back to look at the other two people, frowned slightly and said: "Study, learn from Yan Ren, this is not arrogant to take credit.
Look at the two of you who are calm about honor and disgrace, what do you think?"
"Yes, I am aware of my guilt! Please listen to the teachings of the battalion commander!" The two of them answered in unison at this time.
After Qi Jun and Liu Yan heard the battalion commander's reprimand, they breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was no other punishment now!
"Let's divide the teams based on Yan Ren's suggestion!" Zhang Wei agreed with Yan Ren's suggestion.
He actually had some ideas, probably similar to what these three people said. After hearing their respective suggestions and reasons, he also preferred Yan Ren's troop division tactics!
"But instead of dividing into nine teams, we divided into ten!" Zhang Wei said the strategy that he had polished!
"Each team has about a hundred people, and each team must have a melee squadron, a long-range attack squadron and a cavalry squadron! Finally, the tenth team will be formed by me and the battalion headquarters!"
"The tenth team generally does not participate in the battle, and is only used for central command!" After Zhang Wei finished explaining the division of the teams, he went on to explain the tactics.
"The nine teams are divided into nine directions. At the same time, they move in and out of the circle in a clockwise direction to clean up. When encountering a tenacious enemy, nearby teams can cooperate with each other!"
This cleaning tactic is like a whirlpool, moving towards the center point at an angle with a certain slope. This way, nothing is missed, and it can also prevent the natives from escaping and running around!
"I call this tactic the 'whirlpool tactic'! Do you remember it well? Especially your nine captains!"
Zhang Wei gave this tactic a name and at the same time drew a marching route for nine teams on the map. After drawing it, it was obvious that the nine lines on the map formed a circular vortex!
Everyone below understood it at a glance and knew what to do. They said very clearly and clearly: "I obey my orders!"
The tactics of each team are similar. Zhang Wei gave an example: "A team has three squadrons, and each squadron has three squads. As for how to reorganize, it's all part of the usual training, so I won't go into details!"
"I'm just going to talk about the tactics of each team! After reorganizing into small teams, the cavalry squadron of each team is responsible for protecting the two wings of the team, serving as scouts, messengers, and chasing escaping and scattered enemies!"
"So the soldiers of the light cavalry formation have a very heavy task!" Zhang Wei explained this, looking at Qi Jun in a deep tone.
No way, who gave the light cavalry soldiers four legs? The faster they run, the more things they can do!
"I obey! I will let all my soldiers listen to the command of the captains of each team!" Qi Jun quickly expressed his position, hoping that for his performance just now, he could save some points for the battalion commander's heart!
Zhang Wei waved his hand, indicating that he understood, and then explained: "Each team only has 110 people. If you encounter a medium-sized tribe, you will need the support of two adjacent teams! I believe that with a force of 330 people, it will be enough."
Enough has been done!”
"If support information is received from the neighboring team, the neighboring team must go as soon as possible without delay! Otherwise, military law will be engaged!" Zhang Wei was giving an order to everyone!
"I obey my orders!" Everyone stood up, clasped their fists and bent down to salute and accepted the order.
"Well, it's good to know!" Zhang Wei continued after seeing everyone taking the order: "As for you formation leaders, each of you is responsible for commanding in a general direction!"
"Qi Jun is in charge of the east, Liu Yan is in charge of the south, and Yan Ren is in charge of the west. While I am personally in charge of the north, the three of you must also obey my command!"
Zhang Wei finally explained the entire procedure of this tactic, their respective responsibilities, the command system, and the most important thing, young and healthy prisoners!
