Report!Longping Hou (Zhang Xin) defeated the rebels at Hongmu Mountain on the left wing, and attacked sideways from the south of Hongmu Mountain according to the military order!A knight ran to report with a flag.
The knight stepped forward and continued: The rebels in Hongmu Mountain were defeated. Except for some of the defeated soldiers who fled to the forests of Hongmu Mountain, the rest rushed into the manor in the south to resist stubbornly.The Longping Hou had divided his troops to attack to eliminate the remnants of Hongmushan.
The generals immediately praised Xu Huizu.
Xu Huizu, who was extremely burly, sat on the horse's back, but seemed very calm. He looked back and said: The left wing breakthrough was just expected.The rebels have only a few people. How many people can they mobilize on Hongmu Mountain?
Xu Huizu's words and faint expression made the generals more confident.
Play the drum trumpet!He ordered all units to move forward one mile and march within the range of each artillery.Xu Huizu ordered decisively.
Get order!The personal soldiers around him received the order flag, slapped the horse and left.
The official army formation arranged the formation with asymmetric wings and resembled the Yanyue Formation, but not the regular Yanyue Formation.
Xu Huizu was not obsessed with military books. He arranged this way, after investigating the terrain and combat strategies.
After the formation moved forward another mile, there were two lakes and ponds and a dock village on the right wing near the river; it was obvious that the right wing was not conducive to the army's detours and march in a row.
Therefore, the official army deployed a lot of troops on the left wing.
At the same time, with the 30,000 to 40,000 infantry and cavalry of Longping Hou, he detoured the enemy's right wing (east) side attack; the enemy's right wing formation will be hit by the government forces on both sides, several times the heavy pressure!
The left wing and line of the official army, which looks like the Yanyue Formation, are arc-shaped, so that each unit can take turns to launch an attack on the enemy's formation!
This is the offensive formation commonly used by King Xu Da of Zhongshan at that time. Each phalanx has a single army, and each ranks of troops take turns to attack fiercely. This is very different from the tactics that the Ming army often mixed up.
Xu Huizu held his head and chest up on the horse's back, and followed the central army's troops slowly heading south.
In the misty white mist, the vague sunlight shines in from the horizon in the east and sprinkles on the earth. The atmosphere on the huge battlefield is very special.
There is no tranquility, and the sound of guns and cannons and horses on the left-wing Hongmu Mountain can be heard faintly; the sound of footsteps and drums nearby also permeated the air, mixed with the sound of horse neighing from time to time and the loud shouts of military generals.
However, it is not a noisy one.
Various sounds and in the Hirano actually give people a sense of tranquility!
Perhaps there was no sound of gunfire, strings, and shouts of killing. The fight and battle had not happened yet, so the battlefield seemed a bit peaceful and peaceful.
Xu Huizu led a group of civil and military officials on horseback and walked slowly forward.As the sound of the tingling metal bumping gently, no one spoke anymore.
At this moment, the undispersed white mist was floating gracefully and soothingly in the air, and Xu Huizu seemed to be passing through a magical journey of his mind; when he looked back at the red sun, he had the illusion that a person suddenly saw the light at the entrance of the cave in the dark cave.
The light at that moment was exactly the victory he had anticipated!The ecstasy of seeing the light after walking through endless darkness!
As the surrounding civil and military officials walked through the fog silently together, Xu Huizu felt unprecedented tranquility.
At this moment, he couldn't help but ask himself that his thoughts were indeed strange... He knew that the finale of the Battle of Pinghan almost made failure, but he was obsessed with the glory of nothingness!
Although the victory that has little impact on the overall situation is a brilliant victory that can prove oneself; it is a battle to turn the tide when the building is about to collapse.
The light of his father, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was so dazzling. He was a war god who shone through the world for generations at the critical period of restoring the clothes of the Han people.
Xu Huizu wanted everyone in the world to see that he could still emit a brave light under the sun in Ming Dynasty...
Xu Huizu slapped his horse and came to the gap in the front line and observed the enemy formation with his own eyes, which was less than 200 steps left.
Although the fog has not completely dissipated under the sun, the fog has disappeared and the white vapor has become much thinner.
The enemy's formation was still vaguely seen, and the scouts had also discovered the general military information before, and the generals of the official army had already figured out the formation of the rebels.
Xu Huizu observed for a while and said with a smile: My nephew has never liked reading since he was a child and only knew how to be deceitful. This dignified formation is so funny!
A nobleman from Jingnan around him also echoed: The King of Rebels fought many wars, and may be very brave and good at fighting, but the military formation is indeed not satisfactory.The rebels had few troops in this battle. Such a square long array had too wide cross-section and evenly deployed troops, which was not conducive to timely reinforcements everywhere; no matter where we launched an attack, the rebels' troops were at a disadvantage.
Xu Huizu looked at it for a while, because Gao Xu's record was there and Xu Huizu did not look down on him, he quickly understood Gao Xu's intentions in the battle and said: Gao Xu cares too much about the completeness of the front line.But he is motionless and passively defending here, and is too constrained to the complete front.
After the nobleman understood, he clasped his fists and said: The Duke of Wei rebelled against the king's elders, and he rebelled against the king to use troops. You have to teach him.
Xu Huizu's confidence in winning immediately increased to 80%!
He said: Let's gather the left wing thick formation here, attack heavily, and then use the Longping Hou army to cooperate with the side attack. Gao Xu's long formation suffered a great loss, how can he win?
Xu Huizu immediately turned around and said: Order the generals in the front line to prepare for attack!Each unit took turns to attack the enemy's formation from far and near to defeat its front line!
Get order!
Xu Huizu ordered, pointed the front with a horse whip, and looked back and said: The key to this enemy formation is to break his front line!When the two armies rushed together and interspersed with each other, our strength advantages could be exerted!
The Duke of Wei is wise!The generals agreed.
Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly shouted: Please be careful with Duke Wei!Your formation is not good!
Who shouted like this in public?Shake the morale of the army!After hearing this, Xu Huizu became resentful and suddenly became murderous.He looked back and saw that Yangwu Hou Xue Lu and Xinning Bo Tan Zhong were coming on horseback.
Xu Huizu frowned and looked at them with great displeasure.
When the two cavalry approached, Xu Hui's ancestor asked: Aren't you in Huguang?
Tan Zhongdao: The last generals returned to the capital under the orders and arrived at the capital yesterday. They heard that the Duke of Wei had led the official army to fight.Early this morning, General Xue suddenly found the last general to discuss matters, worried that Duke Wei would suffer a loss; before dawn today, we found the people from the Dongcheng Military and Ma Si, got a seal and left the city, and then rushed to Taipingzhou!When the last general arrived at the place, he saw that the Duke of Wei was so dense that he would definitely suffer a loss!
Xue Lu clasped his fists and said anxiously: Duke of Wei, you have to immediately abandon the front formation and ask the back formation to withdraw from the cannon range!The front formation immediately changes into a diffuse formation and forms a defensive formation. How much can you save?
After hearing this, Xu Huizu burst into laughter.
When he heard Xue Lu's words, he immediately looked at Xue Lu like an idiot.
The two armies are less than 200 steps away from each other. The official army has arranged its attack formation, and countless camps have changed their formations in front of the formation, and even have to retreat in the last battle... Is this what a general who has fought a war can say?
I am afraid that the enemy will not win and will deliberately stop myself!
Xue Lu and Tan Zhong looked at each other, and Xue Lu said: We have written a memorial to state the battle situation of the Huguang Formation and recommend that the imperial government troops avoid field battles.Didn’t the Duke of Wei see the memorial?
Of course, Xu Huizu didn't see it. He had been recuperating at home before taking Shuaiyin.A nobleman next to him said: "The last general has heard of the "Mr. Yangwu Hou" who submitted such a memorial."
Xu Huizu shook his head and thought to himself: Have you ever won once in the Battle of Rebellion?Run to the formation to teach me a lesson?
However, he didn't want to say these words, so he spoke: Yangwuhou, I think your suggestions are too joking. In the future, you must speak seriously in such places in front of the formation!This time I will not cure you.
look!There!Tan Zhong suddenly shouted.
Xue Lu followed the direction that Tan Zhong pointed and looked at the low and gentle hillside behind a small pond.Xue Lu also nodded and said: Yes, the cannon of the rebel king should be on that hillside!
Xue Lu turned around and watched the formation of the official army, and said with a heartbroken expression: The location of the artillery array... The most dense main force of our official army is covered by enemy artillery, and the main force is probably about to collapse...
shut up!Xu Huizu finally couldn't help but be angry and shouted, Xue Lu!Do you understand the battle formation?My Xu family has fought so many battles and has more experience than you. How can you lose in such a matchup?
Xue Lu said in a trembling voice: Duke of Wei, you must believe in the last general!The officials in the court don’t understand it, but we have experienced it personally and witnessed it with our own eyes... That thing has never appeared before, it is a new thing, and the past experience in the battle formation is useless.
Xu Huizu shook his head.
Xue Lu got off the horse, knelt in front of Xu Huizu, and choked and said: The last general is loyal to the court and killed Qu Neng's family in Sichuan.Qu Neng is the confidant general of the King of Han. Once all the officials and soldiers are defeated, my fate will be too miserable... I beg you, this is the last elite of the court, and you must not be ruined so easily!
When Xu Huizu saw Xue Lu begging with tears in his mouth, he felt that Xue Lu didn't seem like a joke.
Xu Huizu followed the direction that Tan Zhong pointed just now and looked for a while. The fog was hazy and he couldn't see clearly what was on the hillside; but he could vaguely see something that looked like a cannon, and it should be a cannon array there.
Xu Huizu pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said: There are rules in the battle formation.I have been fighting in China for thousands of years, and the changes in weapons and tactics have been shaking the earth, but everything changes will never be separated from the sect. There are always some things that will not change!Our official army has a great chance of winning in this battle, and we retreated at the last minute. No matter when and where the battle is in battle, it is the most wrong!
He paused and said with a firm expression: My confidence and tenacity will never waver!
At this time, the official army had already begun to launch an offensive forward in accordance with Xu Huizu's central army orders.Xue Lu looked at the movement in front of the battle formation with a desperate look on his face.
The knight stepped forward and continued: The rebels in Hongmu Mountain were defeated. Except for some of the defeated soldiers who fled to the forests of Hongmu Mountain, the rest rushed into the manor in the south to resist stubbornly.The Longping Hou had divided his troops to attack to eliminate the remnants of Hongmushan.
