Chapter 1569
"This ghost place is just a few stones and a name. It is neither dangerous nor steep. The slope is not big. It looks out over the plains and the battle here is unobstructed on three sides. If I were The Tatar generals must fight on three sides with superior forces."
Qian Yue led the generals to view the terrain of the Xuanshi slope, and many generals were tsukkomi.
Qian Yue stood on the crouching stone, hearing this put down the telescope, said with a smile: "The grassland is vast, and this place is already very good. We have few soldiers and many enemy soldiers, so I borrowed Xuanshi slope. Stop one side, how much can you get back a bit of disadvantage."
Then asked: "Are the cavalry ready? The tartars are known for their cavalry. They have always beaten the tartars, but they are far away. Not enough. The righteous path is the righteous path for infantry and cavalry."
Infantry fighting cavalry usually has only disadvantages but no advantages. In particular, mobility is the most annoying to infantry. Even if the heavy armored infantry can withstand the impact of the cavalry, but with the mobility of the cavalry, it is to come and go if you want. Even if it is defeated, it will not be a big defeat, and it can save strength.
The experience and lessons in this are already there during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. Why does the king of Zhao Martial Spirit want Hufu to ride and shoot? It is precisely because of the loss of eating in this area.
At that time, the armies of various countries in the Divine Province were mainly infantry and chariots. These two arms are far inferior to the cavalry in terms of flexibility, mobility and speed. Facing the enemy in the north, they can only passively attack, even if they are defeated, they can't catch up, and they cannot expand the results.
Therefore, the cavalry unit gradually received attention and replaced the chariots to become the king of the battlefield.
The Martial Emperor of the Han Dynasty drove the Xiongnu to the north by not only relying on infantry. Combining infantry and cavalry in combat is the best tactic for cavalry.
"Use the infantry to block the cavalry charge, use the cavalry to counter it, and chase it." Qian Yue said: "The enemy's cavalry rushed into the formation. In ancient times, they fired with arrows and rain, and then with heavy armor and shields. The spear formation is hard to carry. Use infantry to drag the enemy's cavalry, and then dispatch your own cavalry to give them a heavy blow."
"Our weapons are sharp, armors are excellent, and everyone is brave and brave. We want to block the enemy. It’s not difficult to ride. But it takes a lot of care to kill the enemy on a large scale. It is assumed that 10,000 enemies on the battlefield have been buried properly?"
hearing this, a general beat his chest and said: "With Xuanshipo is the center, within the range of 200 to 300 steps, three trenches are dug, and each ambushes a military commander. The task has been halfway through, and it must be finished before noon."
Qian Yue nodded: "The sooner the better. The enemy can blow it up. Two hundred to three hundred steps are the most suitable. At this distance, the enemy is ready to charge, and there is no possibility of turning back. Only brace oneself is hard to charge. Enter. Two hundred paces, a volley of fire blasts. Generally, no more than four rounds, they will fight at close quarters."
In the final analysis, the infantry is fighting a positional battle against the cavalry. Since it is a positional warfare, it is natural to create some defensive measures. There are no conditions here, and it's not appropriate for things like refusal and iron nails. It is the enemy of 10,000 people, similar to grenade grenades, which can be used in this place.
Although Lima Peak is called a peak, it is just a grass slope. The black stone slope is called a rock. In fact, it is just a few huge crouching rocks on the grass slope. One side that can be blocked, the other three sides cannot be blocked.
Qian Yue took this as the center and opened up his battle. Digging trenches and ambushing troops in front of the battle, with tens of thousands of people hostile to the enemy, the strategy is naturally not bad.
Of course, soldiers who lay in ambush in the ditch to spot 10,000 enemies are definitely more dangerous. But since it is a war, this is inevitable.
Use all means to cause more damage to the enemy. This is Qian Yue's goal.
In the news from the front, the Tatars rarely say that there are five to sixty thousand troops. And he has only 12,000 people. Except for the cavalry battalions that belonged to the ministries, there were only 9,000 people who fought positional battles without closing at night.
All this is to increase the damage. It's not that I'm afraid of the Tatars, but that I'm afraid of the Tatars who get rid of too much.
"Our school’s lieutenant department has four hundred artillery, one thousand artillery, four thousand pikemen, four thousand gunmen, arrayed in three groups. When the enemy arrives, one thousand guns will fire, three hundred guns will fire. Ten thousand enemies, two hundred paces, three rounds of long-range strikes, how can I eat him ten thousand at thirty thousand. After that, fight at close quarters, shoot with guns and flanking them with cavalry, and it is easy to break the enemy."
"Under the Xuanshi slope, I look at the Pingchuan River. The Tatars have to attack me on three sides. The formation does not need to be dense, how can it cost 320,000. The first wave of offensive can be defeated by 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers. He would not dare to come again, he would flee in a hurry. Then chase him with cavalry, killing up to thousands. That is to say, if he can eat half of the enemy’s forces this time, he will be successfully accomplished."
Finally, Qian Yue said: "However, the situation of the battle changes, and there are many things. If you should care about it, all are for reference. When you are in a battle, you must keep in mind."
Don't say Xuanshipo is listed here. The formation, just to say that Wu Keshan led the troops to the vicinity of Xuanshiba, it was already almost noon.
At this time, the scorching sun is shining, and every August is the hottest time of the year. Although it is called a small glacier in this era, the temperature will not be too low when it is the hottest.
Looking from a distance, the heat is burning and the air twists. People are tired.
Wu Keshan had discovered Qian Yue's formation of Xuanshi Po early, and he was not in a hurry at this time. Ask his brother Chahan to lead Wanqi around, as a precaution. Then the army was set up camp, intending to temporarily rest, eat and drink, and replenish physical strength before fighting with it.
The two sides are now only five or six miles apart, and the army formation of Xuanshipo is vaguely visible here. Especially the Chiyou Banner erected high on the profound stone slope, hunting in the wind, fierce and terrifying.
From the grassland to the capital, of course, it is not only the path of Xuanshipo. But this is the closest and most familiar way. Or that Wu Keshan bypassed Xuanshipo, ignored Qian Yue and directly attacked the capital. That's what a child said.
The two sides already know each other, how can we get around?
If Wu Keshan breaks into the capital by choosing a path, not to mention whether he can break through the Great Wall Pass, but to leave Qian Yue behind him is the way to die. Are you not afraid of being attacked by both sides?
Because of how powerful Wu Keshan's soldiers are, he pushes him in a stately manner, which is also as it should be by rights. And he also wanted to try the enemy's fineness first-now it is no longer Ming Ting, the enemy is very strange.
When the Tatars were eating up their energy, Qian Yue was also having lunch here. Ying Yi's army received excellent treatment. When the army is fighting outside, the dry food it carries includes dried meat.
However, at this stage, the use of dried meat to make dry food accounts for only a small part. Divine Province has not settled, production has not yet resumed, and as far as meat is concerned, it is extremely lacking. Even with a large price, the private sector cannot collect much.
Qian Yue stood on the Xuanshi slope, looking at it with a telescope for a long time, tsk tsk said: "Tatars are really rich. Look at the cattle and sheep, there should be 100,000 heads, right? "
The official next to him said: "100,000 heads are definitely not bad. Depending on its size, the army should be about 60,000. 60,000 people eat and drink, and it is inevitable to bring 100,000 heads of livestock. This is due to the distance of Horqin. The capital is not far away. Otherwise, 200,000 and 300,000 are possible."
