Lord of the House

In order for the attack from the flanks to be effective, the main force must attract the enemy cavalry in front of Qijiaji, and withstand the attack of the enemy cavalry as fast as thunder. Zhao Hu stayed in Qijiaji, and arranged the four battalions of infantry into a hollow phalanx, with the Haidongxingyingfu Weiying that he personally brought out as the main force, laying it on the front, and borrowing two from Dongzhou and Danluo. Infantry battalions were placed on the flanks, and a battalion of infantry armor was left behind as a reserve force.

The reserve tactical theory of "fight one, defend two" originated from the Warring States Period, but the troops at hand are limited, or the battlefield is open and the fighting forces on both sides are not enough to fill the battlefield, the main general will have the urge to put all his troops on the battlefield.

The tactical principle that Lin Fu emphasized most in the war training school was the principle of the reserve team. Unless the commander's flag was about to be cut off at the critical moment, the commander must have a quarter to one third of the reserve force in his hands. To deal with the crisis of the collapse of the front.

If this step cannot be achieved, in the face of a strong enemy, the decision to take the initiative to retreat, avoid field battles, and preserve strength should be taken.

Qijiaji is located between Buling and Gushan. The sand, gravel and soil brought down by Shangouzi to Xihe form a dam terrain with a width of three or four miles. There are hundreds of families, huts and shacks. There are rich mansions, but the scale is quite small.

Even for defense, you can only choose to form an array at the west end of the village set, in a relatively open area with relatively dangerous and steep flanks.

Entering the battlefield an hour earlier, Zhao Hu was able to collect more than a hundred civilians from the village gathering, demolish their houses, and use bricks, stones and wood in front of the array to form a simple obstacle belt that hinders the enemy's assault, and finally formed about three or four hundred people. A tight defensive array with every step, waiting for the enemy to ride.

*************

The outpost scout detected that there were soldiers from the infantry battalion in front of them entering the block, Gao Yi also had a solemn expression, issued an alert, and ordered his troops to rest for a while twenty miles away from the Qijiaji.

The main force of Dengzhou Town's troops and horses has been transferred out, and they are stagnant in Pingdu Remnant City. The defensive force of Dengzhou and Daoyu Village is about 2,000, and most of them are under Liu Yefei's control.

Gao Yi was not worried that Liu Yefei had the guts to go against the grain. Previously, he and Chen Zhihu were only worried that Huaidong would send troops to interfere in the Shandong battle. The two or three thousand foot armor that suddenly appeared in front of him should be reinforcements sent by Huaidong.

Gao Yi led the cavalry to move in such a hurry that the scouts were too late to send far away. At this time, he did not know what happened to Dengzhou City.

Chen Zhihu and he were both worried that Huaidong would send troops into Dengzhou, so they sent out targeted work to sneak into the defense area controlled by Huaidong to monitor the movements of Huaidong's troops and horses.

Theoretically, the main force of Huaidong's troops and horses was trapped in the southern front, and the front lines were intertwined with the extravagant family.

One is the Jin Navy in Chongzhou, an elite brigade rebuilt after the Jinhai defenders retreated to Huaidong, with more than 10,000 people; the other is the Fengli Army guarding the Huai Defense Line, which was bound by Lin Lin in the early years There are more than 10,000 elites who have grown up from the north-south campaign.

Huaidong and Jiangning were inseparable from each other, and they were closely guarded against each other. Lin Fu did not dare to call out all the soldiers and horses, so that Chongzhou's old nest lost its defense. And the detailed work of sneaking into Huaidong did not find any signs of large-scale mobilization of troops and horses in the Huaidong defense areas.

The mobilization of troops and horses, in addition to the adjustment of the defense line, also involves the deployment of grain supplies and ordnance, and it is difficult to rush into a trip.

Gao Yi cheated under Qingzhou City, Dengzhou Town had Liu Yefei as an inner responder, and he fought in a relatively safe interior movement. It took nearly half a month for the main force of Dengzhou Town to finally be transferred.

Huaidong wanted to send a partial division to support Shandong's flank, but it was impossible for him not to show any clues beforehand.

Thinking that in order to attack East Zhejiang, Huaidong could only ignore the crime of deceiving the king, and he used the excuse of going to the north to gather troops to deceive the She family, and then suddenly turned around on the way to the north, which caught the She family by surprise.

From Lin Fu's initial rise to the battle, to helping Yue Leng Qiuping to destroy Liu An'er during the Huaisi War, and recently competing with the She family in Zhe County, they all reflect Huaidong's excellent ability to use troops in tricky warfare.

When Huaidong's tactic of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea was used on his head, Gao Yi deeply felt the huge psychological pressure.

Where did the two or three thousand soldiers in front of me come from? In addition to the two or three thousand soldiers in front of him, how many soldiers and horses of Huaidong have landed together in Dengzhou. Is Liu Yefei still alive? Who is in control of Dengzhou City and Daoyu Village at this time?

Gao Yi was all in the dark about these things and didn't know anything about it.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. At this time, considering the general thinking, Gao Yi should lead his troops to retreat, find out the situation and fight again.

However, Huaidong's superb and strange ability to use troops is directly related to its powerful water camp forces controlling the territory of the East China Sea - this more and more reflects the foresightedness of Emperor Tianming's emphasis on capturing Dengzhou in the overall strategic situation.

Gao Yi flinched at this time, waiting for Chen Zhihu to send the main force to join together, and then go to capture Dengzhou. Even if he could capture it, he would only get a ruined city that was emptied for Huaidong, and he would lose the strategy of cheating and defeating the tiger and leaving the mountain. meaning.

Even if Gao Yi retreated at this time and saved the 2,000 soldiers behind him from losses, he would be held accountable afterwards - because of his retreat, Yan Hu lost an opportunity to form a naval division to compete with Huaidong.

The tactical odds are far from making up for the strategic losses. Sometimes the reason for taking risks is to win the strategic initiative at a lower cost. In order to seek Dengzhou, Chen Zhihu even sacrificed his troops under the city of Qingzhou. Gao Yidu I don't think I will forgive myself for leading my ministry back.

Gao Yi knew that he had no way to retreat and had to attack Dengzhou City. Even if the two thousand soldiers and horses behind him were completely damaged, he would be able to shirk his responsibility.

It is also not possible to detour to Dengzhou.

Qijiaji is only 40 miles away from Dengzhou City. They have to travel an extra 100 miles to make a detour. Given the current situation, in order to preserve the physical strength of the generals, they must slow down their speed, and they will not be able to arrive until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Dengzhou city.

Maybe Liu Yefei is leading the remnants to support in Dengzhou City at this time. The time of this day is very critical, enough for the Huaidong reinforcements to gain a firm foothold in Dengzhou City, can they still use 2,000 cavalry to storm the Huaidong reinforcement station Can't Dengzhou City be able to stand firm and defend?

The key is to get here, the generals are already quite tired, holding back a strong will to maintain a high fighting spirit, delaying for a day, this force may collapse, and it will be more difficult to shake the strong Huaidong reinforcements.

Gao Yi continued to send a small group of cavalry to harass the Huaidong infantry. The fact of the reconnaissance in front of him was that the Huaidong infantry entered the Qijia Ji in a hurry, which showed that the Huaidong reinforcements had just landed in Dengzhou.

It is very likely that Liu Yefei is still in control of the situation in Dengzhou. If the Huaidong reinforcements want to gain time to capture Dengzhou City, they can only send infantry to Qijiaji to stop them. It is also possible that Liu Yefei had just been captured or died. It was not long before the Huaidong reinforcements had control of Dengzhou City, and the situation in Dengzhou was still very chaotic. It was necessary to send troops to block it here in order to gain more time - even if Huaidong was good at it. With the tactic of mobilizing troops from the sky and crossing the sea, it is impossible to have many reinforcements ashore from Dengzhou.

No matter what kind of possibility, as long as the current walking brigade is destroyed, the situation in Dengzhou is not bad.

Decided to attack Qijiaji, Gao Yi summoned the generals to discuss the tactics.

"It's quite law-abiding. When the first five or six hundred pawns are hard, the small cavalry can't disturb their positions; but the pawns on the two wings are relatively weak, only the terrain on the two wings is stone ditch and stone slope, which is not conducive for us to go up. Launch the attack..." said General Pan Dechong.

There are many ways for the cavalry to test the formation. The more common one is to use a small group of elite cavalry to tease at the edge of the shot range. When the undertrained infantry suddenly approaches, it is difficult to correctly judge the distance and contain the panic of the battle. Shooting arrows in advance is the most common mistake.

Under-trained infantry, the speed at which their arrows are wound is inherently slow. If they don't grasp the timing, they will waste the opportunity of a round of arrow rain, and it is easy to give the cavalry a direct impact and collapse.

There are not many tactical options that can be used in the face of battle. Choosing to attack relatively weak flanks is always the most preferred tactical choice.

Gao Yi knew that all the way to the west bank of Jiaolai River, there would be no reinforcements coming in a short time. In addition to defeating the Huaidong reinforcements that were blocking the way, he also had to save enough troops to rush to Dengzhou City to deal with the complicated situation. The situation - to avoid too heavy casualties in the frontal confrontation, defeating the Huaidong reinforcements from the flank is the only choice Gao Yi can make.

Gao Yi personally rushed to the front to scout the terrain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ frowned and said: "Although the terrain is steep, it is not impossible to pass; Lao Fan, you lead your troops to fight, you can copy from the flank..."

****************

Around the top of the trees in the sun, Gao Yi led 2,000 light cavalry to press on the Qijiaji. First, two cavalry troops approached the front line of the Huaidong Army, maneuvered in a relatively narrow space, and attacked the side corner of the front line of the Huaidong Army. Avoid frontal arrow rain coverage.

Suddenly, the arrows flew over, and the sound of breaking through the sky was like the wind that drilled out of the stone gap, shooting at the rain like rain.

Both sides are very cautious. They don't want to over-invest in too many troops at once, and they don't want to get entangled all of a sudden and fight to the death. Gao Yi and other ministries led Fan Dechong and his subordinates, horses and warriors, to copy them from the left flank, and then launched a fierce offensive on the front, driving the horses to directly break through the simple obstacles set up by the Huaidong Army in front of the front, to attack the front of the Huaidong Army.

Zhao Hu had to admit that the enemy troops attacked were all fierce soldiers.

Because they were attacking light cavalry, the enemy generals were only covered by light armor. Under the bow shooting, there were many soldiers who were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, but it was difficult for most of them to hit the key points all at once. The wounded enemy soldiers did not retreat. Even if they lost their horses, they gritted their teeth and followed the other cavalrymen to charge.

Zhao Hu also rushed to Qijiaji. The number of flying contradictory vehicles that followed the army was limited. Even if they were deployed in front of the formation, they would be forced to run away by the enemy's horses, but they could somewhat slow down the impact of the enemy's cavalry. The generals and pawns of the two sides were not entangled and chaotic together. Soon the blood flowed into rivers on the ground, the soil was full of empty arrows, and the wounded and soldiers had no time to withdraw, either gritted their teeth and insisted on fighting, or trampled to death.

The front line was so fierce, and the enemy troops dismounted and attacked the left flank even more violently. The weapons were mainly shorter lances, and they rushed forward in the face of the arrow rain... My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
