Chapter 1203 Battle of the Eight Emperors (4)

"Has the Ming army voluntarily withdrawn from the high ground?"

The hall immediately became riots, and the generals of the coalition forces were talking, not sure why.

Just now, the Great Vizier of the Ottoman Empire also spoke: "As long as you take down the high ground, the Ming army will be defeated!"

Now, the Ming army seemed to have voluntarily withdrawn from the high ground to prove his words!

The corner of his mouth suddenly twitched when he closed his eyes. He opened his eyes again, but saw that there were people with confused expressions around him.

Louis XIV's head was buzzing. I couldn't figure out what Emperor Zhu was doing. He was tired of living and was seeking death?

"Ming Jun is going to escape!"

A loud voice covered the noise at the scene, and Marquis Lufuwa jumped out again, and he said excitedly: "The Ming army knew it was defeated. It was preparing to withdraw its troops. Emperor Zhu was about to run away!"

The generals of the coalition forces thought deeply, and some immediately nodded and agreed. Only in this way can they explain why the Ming army gave up the advantage of geographical advantage and voluntarily withdrew from the high ground!

Want to run? There is no door! You have to continue hitting!

After thinking through this, the voice of the main battle rose again, and Marquis Lufuwa and others were trying to wipe out the Ming army whose fighting spirit was dissipating!

Louis XIV was cautious this time. He had been deceived by Emperor Zhu and did not dare to act rashly anymore. So he sent a team of envoys to personally go to the Ming army camp to detectives on the grounds of continuing the last collegial discussion.

.........

War is a treacherous way.

Therefore, if you can show it if you can't, if you use it, if you don't use it, if you lure it if you can't, if you can't take it if you can't, if you can't take it if you can't, if you can't take it if you can't take it if you can't... This is the victory of a military strategist, you cannot be passed on first.

When the coalition forces attacked the winning high ground, Zhu Cixuan continued to analyze the other party's deployment and intentions.

Not all the coalition forces were worth it. Zhu Cixuan discovered from their arrangement of troops that there were many military geniuses among the seven countries, and they were closely arranged. If they wanted to break it, it would cost the Ming army's huge force.

Moreover, the coalition forces seemed to have found out the deployment of the Ming army, and the next step was to launch a hard battle near the highlands.

How could Emperor Zhu, a thief, play cards according to the rules, and defeat these Baiyi brothers at one time in order to lure the enemy into the depths. He went against the military's advantageous territorial methods and ordered the Ming army to evacuate the highlands on their own initiative.

On July 12, all the Ming army retreated to the Bach River line on the western edge of the battlefield and gave a large number of fortifications to the coalition forces.

The main purpose of Zhu Cilang is to lure the enemy to attack the southern wing of the Ming army with weak defense, that is, to win the southern section of the highland;

There are a series of lakes and swamps formed by rivers, there are pits, water on the pits, nails in the water, and messy things, which can be described as dangerous.

If the coalition forces attack from this direction, they are both dangerous and far away, which is a great disadvantage for the military strategists. As long as they have no brain problems, they will basically not get sick and leave.

In order to make the coalition forces attack from this direction "reasonable", Zhu Cixuan abandoned the winning high ground that poses the greatest threat to the coalition forces' southern front and let them come in comfortably.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity when the main force of the coalition forces moved south and the middle was empty, the main force of the Ming army concentrated on counterattacking in the middle, and then regained the key points and winning high ground in the region at all costs, and then swallowed the Southern Front coalition forces to the south.

In order to achieve this intention, Zhu Cixuan deployed all troops on a twenty-mile-long area to organize defense. The entire defense line was divided into two sections, north and south, each with a front of ten miles.

The northern section of the Ming army formation, on the front ten miles long front, was equipped with the Royal First Division of Xu Qingshan and the Second Division of Zhao Jinglin.

On the second line two miles later, Cao Bianjiao's Longwu Army and Zhu Cilang's Imperial Army were hidden.

In addition, there is a division as a reserve force and a base camp of the Ming army.

With the shade of river valleys and hilly land, the configuration of the second-line troops cannot be observed even when standing at the highest point of the winning highland.

On the front line of the southern section, only the Southern Prefecture Army of Li Dingguo was arranged.

About ten miles behind the right side of the army, the Beiting Army of King Zhu and Ji of Han were hidden there.

Such deployment does not mean a complete victory, but rather a desperate bet and has a high risk factor.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Cilang used Li Dingguo's Southern Mansion Army to attract the main force of the coalition forces and restrained the coalition forces to the southern line. The Beiting Army of the King of Han acted as insurance. If Li Dingguo could not withstand it, he would support quickly and could not allow the enemy to suddenly penetrate the entire defense. His mission was to restrain the main force of the enemy.

In this epic battle that is famous for later generations, the tactics used by Zhu Cixuan can be abstracted as a classic tactic called oblique strike.

That is, concentrate superior forces on one side of the military formation to focus on attacking, while on the other side, use inferior forces to restrain and delay the enemy, and then use the breakthrough point as the axis to rotate the enemy in a 90-degree rotation.

As the saying goes, "Anyone who fights is in harmony and wins with strange things." This routine of breaking the balance of the battle situation is the most commonly used tactics by generals in classic battles between ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

However, the army is indefinitely strong, the water is indefinitely strong, the enemy's troops deployment, and the confrontation between the enemy and us will not always happen like a standard textbook.

The start of each battle is not only affected by the tactical level of military strength comparison, but also influenced by the goals and plans at the strategic level.

In order to win this war, Zhu Cilang played a big role in his heart, kept retreating and being humble, allowing the coalition forces that were eager to win a great victory and avenge their previous shame to step into the trap.

Coincidentally, Louis XIV sent someone again, and Zhu Cixuan decided to take another aggressive plan.

The last time I came was Louis XIV's commander of the guard. This time, Louis XIV was much more cautious and sent the shrewd Foreign Minister Fuer to come.

The guide officer led Fur into the Ming army camp. When passing by a martial arts training ground, he saw thousands of soldiers gathered here, listening to the temporary lectures from the official Zanhua.

A man who dressed up like a painting stood on the platform and shouted loudly: "You guys, remember! You are the iron army that is invincible in the Ming Dynasty and is invincible in the battle!"

"We fought from the Southeast Asian region to the Western Regions, then to Tsarist Russia, and to Europa, and the barbarians from all over the world fled!"

Fuer listened with a slight look and did not show surprise. He knew that there were psychic officials in the Ming army, and each combat unit at the battalion level or above was equipped with one. He gave advice during wartime and brainwashed soldiers in normal times.

This should be brainwashing again.

Fuer glanced at it and had to say that the Ming army's words of praise for the painting official were quite inciting. He stood on the sword and was full of energy. In a few words, the soldiers below made all their faces flush and their blood boiled.

When they were about to walk away, the official Zanhua continued to howl: "In order to cleanse the shame of surrender in Poland, the soldiers and the Baiyi were betrayed and led an army of 300,000, and they are now in front of us!"

"But our Ming army is fearless, our defense is as solid as a rock! As long as Bai Yi dares to encircle our right wing, their wings will be exposed! They will die without a place to bury!"

The soldiers of the Ming army were all proud and straightened their chests, and everyone raised their fists and shouted: "The Ming army is mighty, and the Ming Dynasty is victorious!"

Fuer in the distance paused slightly and suddenly laughed.

You fucking think I am a fool? You are so blatantly revealing your combat plan?

Do you think we won't go to the southern line to hit your fragile right wing?

Fuer was so smart that he could tell at a glance that this was Ming Jun who was playing the stage and deliberately performed it for him.

Because before coming, the coalition forces had found that the Ming army had poor troops on the southern front, and Fuer knew about it.

At this time, the Ming army claimed that their right wing was awesome, and they further confirmed the weakness of their troops on the southern front.

After the re-adaptation of both sides, the Ming army's troops on the southern front were indeed weak, with only two troops, Li Dingguo and Zhu Heji, which combined less than 30,000 people.

The Ming army had to rely on these 20,000 people to restrain at least 120,000 coalition troops on the southern wing!

On the northern wing, Zhu Cilang concentrated 70,000 Ming troops to clean up the remaining coalition forces (half of them were hidden in rivers and hills, and blocked the battlefield)

It can be imagined how one-sided the scene would be if these 70,000 heroes appeared on the battlefield and launched an attack on the Northern Front coalition!
