Chapter 460 Just because you want to grab the credit?
There are many battles in history where weak defeat strong.
For example, Han Xin's Battle of Yin Jin, 30,000 destroyed 200,000 Zhao troops and captured King Zhao; Han Xin defeated 200,000 Qi troops and destroyed Qi; Xiang Yu and Julu, 20,000 defeated 400,000 Qin troops; Xiang Yu and Pengcheng, 30,000 against 560,000 Liu Bang coalition forces, and won a great victory. But these classic battles were all due to the enemy's loss of fighting will and large surrender.
There are also many classic battles that have been wiped out in large numbers.
In Bai Qi's Battle of Yique, 120,000 were slaughtered 240,000; in the Battle of Taiyuan, Li Guangbi fought 10,000 against 100,000 troops, and 70,000; in the Battle of Zhang Xun and Juyang, 70,000 troops, and 130,000 troops, and 120,000.
Under these terrifying achievements, it is difficult to cover up a classic battle where infantry suppresses cavalry in all directions with formations. Liu Yu's "Qiyue Formation". The most classic battle of "Qiyue Formation" was Liu Yu's battle to cross the river. The military strength comparison at that time was 3,000 to 100,000. Liu Yu defeated the 100,000 troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty and killed 30,000 enemies. Liu Yu suffered less than 10,000 casualties.
However, this battle was not taken too much attention. Because of the lack of universality of the battlefield, and Liu Yu used the navy in this battle, and it was not counted within the military force, and there was suspicion of exaggerated military force. In particular, the Queyue Formation was very strict on the battlefield, troops, and even the military force allocation. Wars often searched for the enemy's weaknesses in the changing situation. Where can the opponent's weaknesses be captured? The Queyue Formation has a fatal weakness, and only by being beaten can we create miracles.
If the cavalry really doesn't come to fight, the moon formation will only become an existence on the battlefield to watch the show.
In particular, there are still many restrictions on the moon formation, such as a large number of chariots and an open battlefield. Once the enemy cavalry breaks through the central army, they are easily trapped in a situation of massacre.
Therefore, since the appearance of the Queyue Formation, it has been exerted twice in Liu Yu's hands. Unlike other battle formations, it has enduring vitality. The Queyue Formation has amazing lethality, but its weakness is also obvious.
But why would Gao Qiu, a gangster in the army, be so thunderous to the moon formation?
The main reason is that the strong enemies faced by the Song Dynasty were all strong enemies who started with cavalry, and they were always frustrated. Khitan and Xixia, Wu Yangyang had more than 50,000 cavalry at one time, but the Song Dynasty lacked the ability to equip cavalry on a large scale. It could only hope that the Queyue Formation, which had infinite lethality against cavalry, appeared on the battlefield. Unfortunately, the Queyue Formation was not used on the battlefield for a hundred years of war. It was not that the Song Dynasty generals did not want to create miracles, but that the battlefield did not agree with the conditions required by the Queyue Formation.
Why did Li Kui choose the Moon Formation?
Because he was not in a hurry, the Dangxiang people were eager to solve Li Kui's support army. This created a good opportunity for the infantry to be beaten passively.
The Song army came to rescue Jinmingzhai, not to annihilate the Xixia army. Facing the cavalry, Li Kui never thought about the idea of defeating the 50,000 Dangxiang army with 5,000 infantry. This is too unrealistic.
But at the beginning of the war, Li Kui saw some signs.
The Dangxiang people seemed to be very anxious.
This is undoubtedly good news for the Song army. The Dangxiang people were anxious, which means that they would invest more troops at a time than once. This gave Li Kui infinite imagination. Why not kill more Dangxiang cavalry?
It is actually very easy to change the moon formation to the moon formation.
The central army suddenly broke out and formed a semicircle protrusion.
Or retreat with both wings, exposing the central army to the enemy. It is equipped with a large chariot formation that cannot be broken by cavalry, and uses bows and crossbows to kill the enemy's cavalry. As long as the arrows are enough, the heads will fall to the ground like a torrent.
Facing Gao Qiu's hungry look so excited that he was almost slapped, Li Kui calmed down and nodded, "It's an opportunity now."
"Damn it, a hero, this opportunity to become famous is right in front of you. You can't let go of anything. The Queyue Formation must use the Queyue Formation, killing Dangxiang's heads. If you really destroy the 50,000 Dangxiang army, even if the Empress Dowager Xiang hates you, you can only endure it." Gao Qiu said with joy that he must not let go of the opportunity and must do a big fight.
Hu Yanzhuo showed no contempt for Gao Qiu's emotions that he always whispered on the battlefield: "The Queyue Formation is very strong. Emperor Liu Wu became famous all over the world because of the Queyue Formation, but he only used the Queyue Formation twice in his life. Once he was only undefeated. Only when facing the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern Expedition made the Queyue Formation famous all over the world. But that was because Liu Yu successfully crossed the river, the Northern Wei had to attack Liu Yu, and finally the Queyue Formation exerted its powerful strangulation ability, which was difficult to see in a century. Do you think..."
Hu Yanzhuo has been learning battle formations since he was a child. He knows classic battles like a little bit and opens his mouth. But as he talks, he feels something is wrong.
Hu Yanzhuo reacted after realizing it. It seemed that the Dangxiang people were almost the same as the Northern Wei army at that time, and they had the determination to quickly annihilate the Song army, which showed that the enemy generals were very impatient. In addition, the Yueyue formation required a large number of large chariots to assist, and these Song troops seemed to have it. The battlefield where large chariots intercepted could give the infantry the greatest protection, but it made it difficult for cavalry to cross the barriers on these battlefields.
Thinking of this, Hu Yanzhuo drooped his head and cursed inwardly: "A lucky guy."
Then he said proudly: "I didn't say it!"
As Hu Yanzhuo said, the conditions of the moon formation are hard to see in a century. But this once-in-a-century opportunity falls on Li Kui's head. How can Hu Yanzhuo be calm?
Gao Qiu stared at Hu Yanzhuo's slightly lonely back and said viciously: "You have today too!" He turned his head and smiled at Li Kui: "Grandman, let's do a big fight and become famous all over the world!"
What can Li Kui say?
This plan was temporarily figured out by himself, but Gao Qiu was more excited than him, the person in charge, and could only let him go. However, the moon formation had a top priority. Infantry relying on chariots needed to defend the central army's defense line tightly and could not allow the cavalry to break through. Li Kui glanced at Gao Qiu and thought to himself: "Is this guy good?"
"Gaoqi, you also know that this battle is mainly rescue. If you can annihilate the Dangxiang cavalry, it will be a surprise. But the moon formation is different from other battle formations. The focus is on infantry and snorkeling soldiers. You need to send fierce generals to defend the infantry, and you cannot take a step back when fighting to the death. Someone thought..." Li Kui said this and stared at Gaoqi.
Gao Qiu then came back to the scene. He was the deputy general and the chief infantry general!
If he was in the forefront, if the Dangxiang people were killed and died in the end, wouldn’t the glory and wealth be lost to him?
Then his eyes fell on his subordinate Feng Zhang, who was the commander of the infantry under Gao Qiu. It seemed a little more fierce than Gao Qiu, but when Gao Qiu turned his eyes on Hu Yanzhuo's back, it was actually not difficult to make a wise choice. Hu Yanzhuo's body as thick as a mahjong plaque, after putting on the armor, it was like a black, hard and large stone pier. If you don't need such a person, it's not tolerated by nature?
Gao Qiu made a choice in an instant and shouted to Hu Yanzhuo's back: "General Hu Yan, your chance to become famous all over the world is here!"
Hu Yanzhuo pulled Gao Qiu to Li Kui with his back. He was not afraid of Gao Qiu, but he was a little afraid of Li Kui. The main reason is that this guy is even darker than him, which made Hu Yanzhuo always worried that his life would be bleak and bleak.
Hu Yanzhuo glanced at Li Kui secretly, and then said to Gao Qiu: "I can serve as the commander of the central army infantry."
"It's not that you can command the infantry, but that you can lead the army and need to give the soldiers enough encouragement. You also know the disadvantages of the moon formation. Relying on the chariot, infantry must be unable to shake the cavalry, and let him be terrified and storm, and he can't move like a mountain." Gao Qiu believed that Hu Yanzhuo's words had loopholes. He was born in the history of books and history, so how could Hu Yanzhuo have the share of playing words?
Hu Yanzhuo said viciously: "I want the first merit!"
Faced with such unreasonable requests, how could Gao Qiu agree? He jumped up in anger and said, "First merit, where did you place General Cheng?"
On the battlefield today, Cheng Zhijie is the commander of the Song army. According to the rules of the army, unless the commander performs his noble style, he means that he does not need military achievements, and this merit can only fall on the heads of other generals. Besides, you Hu Yanzhuo or Cheng Zhijie's subordinate are thinking about stealing General Cheng's merits. How old do you think you have?
Hu Yanzhuo woke up at this moment, as if Meng Lang had committed the following act, he immediately changed his words and said, "Okay, I want a second merit."
Li Kui found that Hu Yanzhuo was a little ungrateful and said to Ruan Xiaoer beside him: "Get my Zhuqishan Wenjia and wear armor!"
Hu Yanzhuo trembled suddenly, and then he found that Li Kui was the devil on the battlefield. As long as Li Kui had something to do to make things difficult for Hu Yanzhuo, he would write a war report with the identity of the military supervisor after the war. Hu Yanzhuo refused to obey the orders, which resulted in the military supervisor having to interfere in commanding the infantry. This guy was likely to be cleared out of the general's door and thrown his official position back to his hometown. His luck would almost go to prison. He was too ignorant of the depth and did not understand the rules. Hu Yanzhuo's aura had just risen and turned into a sloping blue smoke, which looked like a little wife with a low eyebrows and pleasing eyes: "Where is the three masters?"
Gao Qiu thoughtfully, "Where did you see your eyesight? You also want the three skills?" Facing Hu Yanzhuo's recklessness, Gao Qiu narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm the emperor, and there is Eunuch Hao Sui Hao behind him. You won't think about suppressing him, right?"
Hu Yanzhuo is just a commander.
The deputy commander was not even the same. When Gao Qiu was eating meat at most, he asked him to drink a sip of soup. This was already good.
This guy still wants the snake to swallow the elephant and snatch his credit, which makes Gao Qiu bear it?
He refused decisively, but Hu Yanzhuo was not Gao Qiu's subordinate. Gao Qiu could not use his identity to suppress the other party. But don't forget that Li Kui was next to him, and immediately threatened Hu Yanzhuo: "Our army is now deeply trapped in the enemy. The war here is not good for our army, and the military situation cannot be delayed. We must spread the news from the battlefield. Hu Yanzhuo, the important task of delivering the news depends on you. You can take your own personal soldiers, and this official will prepare horses for you."
Hu Yanzhuo wanted to curse his mother, but he was afraid that he could not scold Li Kui, a scoundrel with the reputation of Jinshi, had his eyes wide open like a long eye, but he could do nothing.
Looking back at the vast number of Dangxiang cavalry on the battlefield, they will definitely be dead. Hu Yanzhuo finally realized the reality and knelt on one knee and said to Li Kui: "I will wait for the order of the military supervisor!"
Li Kui pressed Hu Yanzhuo's shoulder with concern and comforted him: "It is a great blessing for the country to have loyal people like General Hu Yan in the Song Dynasty!"
