Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 432 Eight-door Golden Lock Formation

After hearing the news that his old lair was surrounded by the Ming army, Alutai was stunned.

I have always been very cautious. I have sent scouts fifty miles away, and I haven't seen a shadow of the Ming army. Where did this Ming army come from?

"Father, what should we do now?"

Tuo Huan is also at the side of the six gods, but in front of him is the Ming army that has run out of food. The army will surely achieve great results after a few days of attack, and it is not impossible to wipe out the Ming army trapped to death in Langjuxu Mountain.

It can be several days.

My old nest was already finished, and even the earthworms in the ground had to be split in half vertically.

"withdraw."

Alutai gritted his teeth and squeezed out the word from between his teeth.

Even if there are thousands of resentments and unwillingnesses, they all disappear at this moment.

Tens of thousands of households began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the movements of Alutai naturally fell into the eyes of Wang Bi who was trapped in Langjuxu Mountain.

"The Tartars withdrew."

"Why did they withdraw? Is it a trick to lure the enemy? Want to trick us out and kill us?"

Li Yuan had a different opinion: "Our army has run out of food, why should the Tatars try to lure the enemy again, they only need to wait two more days to win without a fight, why bother, I think that General Dai must have arrived .”

"I didn't see the shadow of the reinforcements." What Wang Qi said at the side made Wang Bi feel ashamed.

"Who told you that you must have people to support you, don't you know the allusion of besieging Wei and saving Zhao?"

Although Wang Bi was greedy for meritorious deeds and had various faults, he was a general who had led the army for decades, and he quickly made a correct decision.

"The whole army goes out and bites the Arutai department."

"Father, we are all infantry, how can we use infantry to chase cavalry?"

"Catching up is definitely not going to catch up, but we have to follow, understand."

Of course, two legs can't run with four legs, but the reason why Wang Bi didn't let go after Arutai is also very simple, that is to follow Arutai to find the old battalion of the Tatar Department, and cooperate with Dai Cishen's department to fight for the complete annihilation of Arutai!

Alutai could see through Wang Bi's plan at a glance, but now he had no time to take care of it, so he had to leave his son Tuo Huan behind, and [-] cavalry joined him to stop Wang Bi.

In this way, Wang Bi had nothing to do.

"If all the horses hadn't been slaughtered, I would have stabbed Alutai severely."

What you say now is all nonsense, Wang Bi's troops have no horses, and the best they can do is to hold back Tuo Huan's [-] horsemen and prevent them from returning to the old camp to save the old camp, which can be regarded as sharing some pressure for Dai Cishen.

Besides, it took almost two hours for Alutai to rush back to the old camp even after urging his horse. When he arrived, what he saw in front of him was the old camp that had already changed the king's banner on the top of the city.

The flag of the Ming army fluttering high made Alutai furious.

"Attack! Take back the old camp!"

Once the old battalion gives up, there is no need to say anything about the outcome of my 10,000+ army. Therefore, Arutai's choice is not wrong.

Dai Cishen had already made preparations. Before Alutai gave the order, he had already set up his formation.

The name of this formation is the eight-door golden lock.

Very familiar is not it.

The number of appearances in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is particularly high. There are detailed formation instructions in Liu Tao. The most suitable terrain for this kind of large formation is the plain, and the favorite to deal with is the cavalry.

Zhuge Wuhou once improved and upgraded the 2.0 version of Wuhou Bagua Formation on the basis of Bamen Golden Lock Formation, but the Bagua Formation is too complicated, even though Dai Cishen has been a soldier for decades, he really didn't understand it.

To fight Tatar, the eight-door golden lock array is enough.

The core of the formation is the infantry square formation. The four arms of shield, spear, bow and crossbow are paired with the Maza knife that Yue Wumu made in the past to greet kidnapped horses. People are turned on their backs, and it is difficult to advance an inch.

On the outskirts, 8 cavalry from the Ming army mixed with [-] cavalry from Monan Mongolia, and [-] people circled the curves of the two wings of the eight-door Golden Lock Formation, attacking Arutai from the ribs and sides.

And in the center of the eight-door golden lock formation, there is a tall wooden tower. Dai Cishen led a dozen standard bearers on the tower.

Dai Cishen held up his binoculars to observe the direction of the war all the time, and while giving orders to change formations or deploy troops, the standard bearers would display the corresponding semaphore.

The military order is unimpeded in daylight.

The Tatar army poured into the Ming army's formation like a flood, and the Ming army's formation was like a rock, and it remained motionless despite the flood.

A prairie athlete didn't even have time to swing his saber, but was pierced through the chest and lower abdomen by a spear protruding from the shield. Shoot like a hedgehog and fall to the ground.

A prairie warrior urges his horse to escape the sharp spear and hidden arrows by chance, and he can barely stand in front of the positions. The horse under his crotch whines, and its four hooves are cut off by the Maza knife.

The prairie warrior was overturned to the ground, grunting in pain and dizzy.

Before he came back to his senses, he found that the shield of the Ming army behind him was opened, and two hooked and sickle guns protruded out, directly piercing into his left and right shoulder blades.

"what!"

The pain made him howl in agony, and he was dragged into the formation of the Ming army by the two hooked and sickle guns.

More than a dozen horizontal knives directly chopped this Tatar soldier into a meat paste!
The shield fell to the ground again, as if everything had never happened.

Only the blood stained on the outside of the shield and the wailing horses on the ground recorded that a small battle had taken place here.

"Khan, our army can't rush in!"

Thousands of households retreated from the front line covered in blood to find Arutai, and said sadly: "The formation of the Ming army is stronger than the shell of a tortoise, and more piercing than a hedgehog. There is nowhere to attack. The sons and daughters suffered heavy casualties."

"Can't Ben Khan see it!"

Alutai roared: "No matter how difficult it is to fight, we must break this formation, otherwise, if we retreat, we will all starve to death in the vast wilderness."

Grassland people are brave. Any nation is brave when defending their home and country.

But war is cold-blooded and cruel, and one side is never biased just because it is brave and fearless.

A war with cold weapons may not be as crisp and neat as a war with hot weapons, but it will not be sloppy when fighting with swords and fighting with each other.

Sunan Yong and Tuozhi Buhua each led [-] cavalry to outflank the two wings, and rushed forward in a cone formation along the ribs of the Arutai army.

This meant that Ming did not have a Mamluk-style heavy armored cavalry like the Mamluks under the command of Lame Wolf Timur. Otherwise, in such a unique battlefield environment, 10,000 heavy armored cavalry would be enough to wipe out the [-]+ Rangers in Arutai.

Chen Yunfu was not familiar with the history of war in his previous life, so he has never bought war horses from Arabia on a large scale for military deployment in these years.

Even so, Dai Cishen showed the Arutai and Tatars today the commanding art of Han generals.

After the three-way drum, the Tatars' offensive has shown a sluggish style, and they began to shrink the front line to strengthen the defense on both ribs.

"The opportunity has come."

Dai Cishen shouted excitedly.

"Change formation, attack with the whole army!"
