Chapter 598

Sixty thousand Wei troops lined up in the wilderness.

Now Wei Jun is already the leader in the world's army, and he is confident to compete with the elites who have expired.

At this time, after the [-] army received Gao Yihuan's order, the marching formation was transformed into a battle formation. The five armies were clearly formed in front, back, left, and right, and their flags were flying.

During Gao Yihuan's march, he received a report from the scouts, and the marching formation changed from a vertical formation to a horizontal formation ahead of time. When he arrived at the battlefield, [-] soldiers and horses were arranged according to the battalion head. The flags were like clouds, standing in silence in the westerly wind, only the sound of war horses snorting and the wind blowing the flags.

When Geng Zhongming in the Qing army took a look, he knew that today was the tip of the needle against the wheat, and a hard battle was about to be fought.

On the side of the Wei army, the Chinese army waved the military flag, the war drums were beating, and all the ministries waved the flags of various colors again and again, the front was red, the middle was yellow, the left was blue, the right was white, and the back was black.

In this way, the Chinese army can mobilize the entire battlefield through the sound of banners and golden drums.

The Chinese army uses war drums to attract the attention of all ministries. The Chinese army's red flag is waved forward, which means that the front army will attack. The beating is to accelerate the charge.

In this way, although there are [-] soldiers and horses in the wilderness, and the battlefield is vast, the Chinese army can mobilize the various departments through the banners and drums, so that they can use their arms and fingers.

Of course, if the battlefield is too vast, the distance is beyond the range of the flag and drum command, or if the general has any special instructions to convey, then he has to rely on the chess and card officers who obey the orders of the Chinese army to communicate verbally on horseback.

The Wei army has been fighting for nearly five years, absorbing the command and dispatch system of the Ming army and the Shun army, and already has a very complete command system.

It is with such a perfect command system that the Wei army is qualified to organize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for field battles.

This is also the difference between the regular army and the local bandits. Just imagine the tens of thousands of local bandits without strict command.

When the Wei army was in formation, Gao Yihuan and Li Dingguo, Xu Heihu, Hu Dawei, Jin Xiangang, Hao Yaoqi, Liu Tichun and other elite soldiers rode out to the front of the army, reined in their horses and peeped at the Qing army's line.

Li Dingguo looked at the Qing army waiting in formation in the open field to the east, his eyes narrowed immediately, and his heart was a little shocked.

He could see that the Qing army on the opposite side was not simple. When the Western army was still fighting against the local chickens and dogs of the Ming Dynasty, the Wei army would fight casually, and the opponent was tens of thousands of Qing army elites. It is no longer at one level.

Li Dingguo took a look at the Qing army, and couldn't help sighing slightly in his heart, "It's a bit interesting."

Gao Yihuan and all the generals rode on horses and looked at the Qing army's line from a distance, and they started discussing one after another.

"My lord, the enemy's army rides strong but weak, we ride weak but strong, each has its own merits."

"Damn it, there are so many horsemen, it's not easy to deal with!"

"My lord, there are cannons on the high ground behind the Tartars!"

The generals observed while talking, Gao Yihuan picked up the binoculars, looked at it, nodded and said: "The infantry of the Qing army is in the center, riding on the two wings, and there are obstacles in front of the formation. It is a stacked formation!"

Speaking of this, Gao Yihuan turned his head and asked, "What do you guys think, how should we fight?"

Jin Xiangang said: "The horse troops on both sides of the Tartars are staring at each other. The minister thought that the infantry would press up and shoot from a long distance, so as to attract the enemy's horse troops to advance out of the surprise infantry formation, exposing the Tartar flanks, and then the horse troops would attack from the flanks to open up the situation. !"

Xu Heihu said: "If the enemy's cavalry marches forward, I will choose the tiger horse army, so I have the confidence to break through and attack the archers and musketeers behind the enemy. But this kind of fighting is a matter of perseverance. Let's see if our infantry can withstand it. The impact of the Tartar cavalry will see whose infantry will fall first."

Gao Yihuan nodded, but turned to look at Li Dingguo, "Dingguo, what do you think?"

After Li Dingguo watched the enemy formation, he had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't take the initiative to raise them. When Gao Yihuan asked, he reined in his horse, pointed at the enemy formation and said, "I don't know the strength of the Wei army, and I don't know the strength of the various departments of the Wei army." Features. The king of Wei insisted on me to say, I can only remind the king of Wei that this battle cannot be a war of attrition, but a quick breakthrough is necessary. The goal of the king of Wei is not Geng Zhongming, but Duoduo."

Speaking of which, Li Dingguo glanced at Gao Yihuan, "If King Wei must listen to my advice, I suggest a frontal breakthrough and take Geng Zhongming's central army directly."

Gao Yihuan stroked his beard under his chin, Li Dingguo was unambiguous at all, he just went straight to the Chinese army, he was a bit crazy.

This made Gao Yihuan, who always liked to avoid reality and attack fiction, a little uncomfortable, and asked, "Why?"

Li Dingguo said: "Can the Wei army quickly defeat the horse army on the two wings of the Tartars?"

Gao Yihuan shook his head, "If the Tartar horse army doesn't take the initiative to charge, they will remain invincible."

Li Dingguo said: "The Ma army found an opportunity to break into the Qing army's flank, can they overwhelm the Qing army in one round?"

"Generally speaking, the infantry can withstand three cavalry penetrations." Gao Yihuan already understood, and with a smile, let Li Dingguo finish his sentence and give him a stage to continue performing.

Li Dingguo glanced at Gao Yihuan, "The two wings of the Qing army are strong, but the middle is weak, and the Wei army has no way to restrain the two wings of the Qing army. In this case, it is better for Tian Ji to race horses and use the advantage of the infantry to directly crush the Qing army. Geng Zhongming's army Once defeated, and the army presses up across the board, the Tartar horse army can only be defeated, so as to avoid long-term consumption and break through quickly."

Jin Xiangang asked: "My infantry presses up, and the Qing army's two wings of cavalry attack the infantry, what can I do?"

Li Dingguo said: "It depends on how you resist."

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "The commander-in-chief has decided, concentrate on breaking through!"

What Li Dingguo said makes sense. The Qing army is weak in the middle and has strong wings, while the Wei army has weak horse troops on both wings and strong infantry in the middle.

At this time, if the Wei army was wary of the horse troops on the two wings of the Qing army and did not dare to let go, the two wings could not find opportunities, and they could not break through in the middle, it would be a war of attrition.

Although the Wei army has an advantage in military strength, it may not lose, but the huge casualties are also unbearable for the Wei army.

Gao Yihuan made a quick calculation and found that the others had obvious advantages. First of all, the Tartar Ma Jun would never want to break through his wings. He would be afraid of an egg. The direction to seize the advantage is just one word "do it"!
As for how to prevent the Tartar cavalry from advancing forward and outflanking the advancing infantry, Gao Yihuan also had an idea.

In the Qing army's formation, Geng Zhongming saw Gao Yihuan leading a group of generals, who hadn't made a move for a long time, and his spirit calmed down a bit.

Geng Zhongming turned his head to look at the generals around him, and said with a smile: "The longer Gao Yihuan watched, the more it showed that he had no way to fight this king's big formation. This king's formation is like a crab, lying in front of him. He attacks the two wings. The king's horse army is like two big pincers, blocking. He attacks the main formation, and the two large pincers directly cooperate with the main formation, pinching towards the middle. This king will see what he does today! This king's attack power is insufficient , but the defense has room to poke!"

After hearing this, the Qing general at the side was about to say a few words in agreement, when he heard the drums beating suddenly.

Everyone hurriedly raised their heads and looked at the large formation of the Wei army several miles away, and the infantry in the front began to rush forward.

Geng Zhongming sneered, as expected, Gao Yihuan wanted the infantry to make a surprise attack, but after a closer look, he found something different from what he thought~
