Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1092 Hunting
On the tenth day of August, as soon as the wake-up horn sounded, Kang Luo quickly turned over and began to pack blankets and dress.This is a change developed in the two-month training camp. At the beginning of the training, the drums for getting up sounded for a long time, and they didn't care.

Then the captain of the Tang Dynasty showed them what it means to be powerful. A ladle of cold water was poured directly on the head.

After doing this several times, all the Qiang soldiers rose up upon hearing the sound, not daring to delay for a moment, and gradually became a habit.

After packing up quickly, they queued up to have breakfast. Every day, five people in the team were assigned to be responsible for cooking. They had to get up very early to carry water, chop firewood, light a fire and cook, and everyone took turns to be on duty.The breakfast is also very simple, mutton soup or yak meat soup, served with barley tsampa, less meat and more soup, the conditions in the army are just like this, after all, so many people gather here, the daily consumption is also huge, and it can last until now, Also, all the ministries brought a lot of cattle and sheep when they came, but they were still eating.

Kang Luo was used to eating fast when he was running the transport team in the mine, but after two months of training here, he ate faster, queuing up to get his breakfast, and gave I poured it all into my mouth, and then simply cleaned up the tableware.

Although today's yak meat soup is full of water and there are not many pieces of meat, it finally fills up the stomach after a night of hunger.

The team leader of the same clan of the Sangli tribe came to pass an order, saying that they were assigned the task of digging trenches today, but everyone did not have tools such as hoes and shovels for digging. The team leader said that everyone should find a way.

Just when Kang Luo was struggling to find a solution, the team leader came again and said that the order had been changed and they were asked to pack up their things immediately and prepare to go.

"Where?"

"Forty miles east."

"Why are you heading east?"

The leader of the team was a man in his fifties. His son was supposed to come, but he came instead of his son and let his son stay with his newly married wife.According to his clan's seniority, the head of the team with a sad face was Kang Luo's grandfather. He was carrying a long gun, "I heard that Qin Taiwei sent some generals to our camp and gave us an order. I have issued a new order, and I am not satisfied with the original battle plan. So now let's rush to the east to rearrange!"

"What?"

Kang Luo looked around. This is the first bend of the Yellow River, with mountains on one side and river on the other. The terrain is narrow, which is suitable for blocking roads.

"The new general said that this place is too narrow, and we can't line up 10 people, and we won't be able to play well in a fight, so we moved forty miles to the east, where the terrain is flat and open, at least ten miles wide, exactly 10 miles wide. Thousands of people lined up."

Kang Luo was puzzled. It wasn't that the narrower the terrain, the easier it was to defend. Why did he have to defend in a wider place.

The leader of the team didn't understand, but he is a man who obeys orders very much. He was chosen as the leader of the team first because he was the oldest and most senior soldier in the Sangwa army, and secondly because he was originally Be more honest and obedient.

In fact, the leader of the team is a master at shearing sheep and slaughtering cattle in the tribe, but he is very average in riding, shooting and hunting.

It doesn't matter if the leader of the team doesn't understand, we just do what the above says.

The horn of pioneering sounded, so everyone hurriedly packed up the tents in the team, packed their blankets and equipment, took their mounts, and began to gather and set off.

Not far away, on a hilly hillside, in the tent of the Chinese army of the Qiang allied forces, a large group of Qiang generals, including Tuoba Chici, Xifengbulai, Balibuli, Biecongwoshi, etc. Liu Lancheng, who came here, was puzzled by the Qin Taiwei's military orders, especially the tactic of moving [-] miles eastward to re-arrange the formation was still made by the Taiwei himself.

"Why?"

Facing the questioning by the oldest Tuoba Chici, General Zuo Lingjun, Governor of Fuzhou, and envoy of Jingbian Army Liu Lancheng smiled and said, "Giving the country a surname, the Taiwei has made great achievements in battle, and he is the God of War in the Tang Dynasty. Are you right?" Is there any doubt about his strategic plan?"

"I don't dare to doubt, I'm just wondering. We have to let us understand before we can cooperate." Tuoba Chici, who was given the name Li Sigong, dared not say this to Qin Lang face to face, but when facing Liu Lancheng, he still had to put on airs, Besides, he really didn't understand that if he didn't keep guard here, he had to run forty miles east to guard it.

"Because it is open and flat, the terrain is suitable for large armies to fight. Our current position is only two or three miles wide, which is too narrow. Let alone 30 horses, it is 5 horses. It's also too narrow, with such a terrain, there's no place for a few soldiers, so when the time comes, thousands of people will fight in the front and tens of thousands of people will watch the theater behind?"

And forty miles to the east, it is about ten miles wide.

In fact, this width is still too narrow for the upcoming battle of 30 people, not to mention that there are 40 Tang troops coming. This will be a super big battle with as many as [-] people. The Baili Great Plain is not too big.

For Qin Lang, if one hundred thousand Qiang soldiers were congested in a river mouth two or three miles wide, there would be no room for manipulation at all, and it would just be hacking.

However, Qin Lang believed that to block 20 Tubo soldiers with [-] Qiang soldiers, it would not be enough to block the [-] Tubo soldiers. It must be operated and dispatched.

It is necessary to set up legion battle formations on the battlefield, and there must be space between the formations to facilitate maneuvering, and we cannot blindly seek deep space.

The super-large depth space deployment is actually more suitable for the offensive side, so that they can ensure greater offensive impact and sustainability in the follow-up.

As for the defenders, if you deploy super large depth, it means that what is in front of you may always be ruthlessly consumed.

Especially for the [-] Qiang tribe, they are mostly cavalry with horses, and they need more space to maneuver.Otherwise, they are not even as good as light infantry.

Before Liu Lancheng and the others arrived, Tuoba Chici and the others followed the orders of the soldiers sent by Qin Lang to organize 10 horses into ten legions. Ministry, each with three thousand-man battalions.

But in terms of blocking deployment, there is really no decent plan, just plan to squeeze hard at the mouth of the river, intercept layer by layer, rely on mountains and rivers, and fight to the death with the Tubo people.

They even planned to abandon horses and fight on foot, dig trenches, and fence with trees to fight positional warfare.

But for Liu Lancheng and the others who have fought battles for most of their lives, especially the outstanding generals who have fought too many big army battles, this kind of deployment is simply too fucked.

Fighting a war is not a tribal gang fight, it must be layered and tactical.

In a big battle with tens of thousands of people, you can't just let a few thousand people fight, tens of thousands of people watch, you have to use all your soldiers.

"Let me explain the Taiwei's tactical deployment."

Liu Lancheng looked at the bewildered eyes of the leaders of the Qiang tribe, and knew that if they didn't speak clearly, they would probably be even more confused when they waited for the decisive battle.

He fetched a pair of big sheepskin maps, on which the topography of the river bend in front of him was drawn.

"We face the Tubo army with our backs west and east. The mountains are on the left, the Baihe River is on the right, and the Yellow River is behind. The battlefield chosen by the Taiwei is about ten miles wide. We have [-] Qiang cavalry here. Still too narrow."

"The Tibetans are superior in numbers, twice as many as us, but our [-] Qiang cavalry are all young and strong, there are no women, children, old or weak, and there are [-] Tang elites coming to the east for reinforcements, so we are not afraid of the Tibetans. "

He took out a handful of beef jerky and began to lay out on the map.

"The Taiwei's deployment is like this. Of our 10 horses, we first take out 6 horses and arrange them in a crescent shape, with the middle sticking out to face the Tubo army."

The 6 horses are divided into three fronts, each row has 2 horses, and there are two legions in each row. In addition to the [-]-man army of the chief general, each legion has nine thousand-man battalions, eighteen thousand-man battalions plus two chief generals. The Thousand-Man Battalion of the Chinese Army was further divided into three layers of deep military formations.

Liu Lancheng moved the beef jerky around on the map, but it was straightforward and clear at a glance, and Tuoba and others also understood it.

Qin Lang wanted to arrange the 6 people into three large depths, and each army formation had three small depths. In fact, there were nine depths in total, and one depth was about 6000 people.

The basic army formation with a team of [-] people, that is, a line of defense is [-] teams, and [-] teams guard a width of ten miles. If the two wings are left for other troops, then they are ten teams guarding a width of one mile.

When each team fights, it has to be divided into five to seven rows. The horizontal row can have at most ten or so soldiers, and one team can defend dozens of steps wide. In this way, the row is just right, and 6000 people can cover a battlefield about six miles away. full.

Leave a width of about two miles on each of the two wings to accommodate the remaining 4 horses.

Compared with the party members' own arrangements before, where 10 people squeezed into a narrow space two or three miles wide, the deployment here is immediately much smarter.

With 6 horses, defending the six-mile-wide battlefield, there are nine front and rear military formations deployed in depth, and one is broken and another is broken. If the Tubo people want to penetrate the defense, they have to tear apart the entire nine defensive formations.

"Choose [-] of the most elite of our [-] Qiang soldiers, gather those who are best at cavalry and archery on the two wings, each with [-] elite cavalry, and the [-] in the middle will all abandon their horses and form infantry with spears and bows. Gun array defense."

"Dismount and fight?"

"That's right, the 6 weaker Qiang soldiers dismounted and fought on foot, guarding the center, and they were arranged in a crescent formation to rush towards the enemy. The Taiwei meant that 2 of the 2 strong soldiers should be selected Warriors who dare to fight gather their armors, shields, and spears and deploy them on both sides of the front row, then place the weakest [-] troops in the middle, and then use [-] horses to gather bows, crossbows and Udo, and deploy them in the front row. Last."

The 6 people are not only divided into three major formations and nine deep formations, but also not simply placed there, but the weakest are located directly in front, the most elite are located on both sides of the front, and those who are good at shooting are located at the back.

Such a deployment surprised the Qiang people again.

"What's the reason for this? Isn't it a crescent formation? Since it is a crescent formation that protrudes towards the enemy, then the most protruding part in the middle should be the most elite and brave in the whole army. Why? Putting the weakest troops instead, isn’t this sending them up to be defeated? If they are directly defeated by the Tubo army, will it cause the entire army to be defeated? Will the entire army be implicated?”

"Haven't you figured out where is the most powerful ultimate move of Taiwei's tactic?"

Xifeng Bulai stared at the pieces of jerky yak meat and looked left and right, but he didn't think where the ultimate move of this formation was. It's too dry, and the piece is a little moldy...

"The 2 strongest cavalry of the whole army are concentrated on the two wings, and then the [-] strongest of the Chinese army are deployed on both sides of the Chinese army, but the weakest [-] are deployed in the middle, and they must stand out to face the enemy. No matter how you look at it, why do you feel that something is wrong, won't this Tubo be broken in a single charge?"
