Chapter 771: Daliao version of step-tank coordination(1/2)
If the tactic of stealing someone's home still has some traces of the art of war, then changing someone's home, a method as violent as a mad dog, would never appear in an art of war book.
Once this move is used, it will definitely make any opponent angry and furious.
But there is a fatal weakness, the exchange must be reciprocal.
For example, if Li Kui traded Daming Mansion and Yelu Hongji for Xijin Mansion, perhaps the old man Yelu Hongji would be a little more angry.
But it was a bit excessive for Li Kui to exchange a camp that had been built for a few days and could only accommodate 20,000 troops with one for the Liao army's 60,000 to 70,000 troops.
In particular, the Liao army was all cavalry, and it was very common for a soldier to have two or even three horses.
The army of 60,000 to 70,000 people will suddenly have more than 100,000 war horses. With such a large number of war horses, it is obviously impossible to organize the camp with fences and trenches like the Song army did.
Not only is it impossible, it's impossible.
In addition, part of the Liao army's rations were living animals.
For example, cattle and sheep.
This took up even more space, so much so that the Liao army's barracks had almost no fences or trenches, and even the camps were scattered like temporary settlements for tribes grazing on pastures.
It stands to reason that such shabby belongings are no longer of such value. On the contrary, the camp built by the Song Army is comparable to the luxury of the camp of the Liao Army.
But a broken home is worth thousands of dollars, and the Liao army did not have any belongings. For example, tents were burned and one was missing. Especially in the wild, it was not easy to replenish. If there are no tents, let the soldiers sleep in the open air in this winter.
, you have to get sick from the cold. Even the Liao people can't bear the raging north wind in this season.
Brother Xiao Chang was a little dumbfounded when he saw Li Kui's posture.
Then they sent people to the Song Army camp to check, and the people who came back reported that there was no one there.
Only then did he understand that Li Kui wanted to exchange the Song army's camp with the Liao army. It would not be possible if he did not exchange, unless he could defeat the Song army on the battlefield.
It can be said that no opponent can guess the arrogance of Li Kui's routines today.
Who would have expected that Li Kui gave up the camp he had built for several days and went to the Liao army camp to change his home. Isn't this nonsense?
Have you ever fought like this?
Even though the Song army's camp was really good, with horse pits, antlers to block the horse formations, and it was close to the river, Li Kui also dug several wells to prevent the Liao army from poisoning the upper reaches or cutting off the river.
The army worked hard to obey his orders, and when he finally saw that the first model camp in Daliao was about to be built, he actually smacked his lips twice and said lightly: "This is not what I want.
!”
Then Li Kui began to attack the Liao army domineeringly.
It was clear that he was unhappy and wanted to change with the Liao army.
But the Liao people, especially the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, did not want to change with Li Kui.
Especially the Song Army's military camp was empty. Except for the rags that the Song Army couldn't take away and didn't want to take away, the Song Army took away everything they could.
After Li Kui commanded the imperial guards to charge into the right wing of the Liao army, he not only killed and wounded the effective forces of the Liao army, but also burned everything that could be burned in the camp after the battle.
This made Brother Xiao Chang very angry. No army had ever dared to be so arrogant in the face of Daliao's Pishi Army.
However, what makes Brother Xiao Chang depressed is that he seems to have no way to deal with Li Kui.
After thinking for a long time, he did not dare to order a charge rashly, but he saw the Song army slowly coming to the front camp area with drum beat. He suddenly became anxious: "Let the front camp evacuate!"
"General manager? His Majesty asked you to drive away the Song army..."
"Damn it, isn't it easy for me to say what I said? Your Majesty, of course I have to say it to you."
At this moment, the King of Nanyuan came with his subordinates. In the previous battle, Yelu Chen's slaves had embarrassed the emperor. Now, Emperor Yelu Hongji's trust in him has been greatly reduced.
Everyone knows that Emperor Yelu Hongji is a narrow-minded person, especially when he is embarrassed.
"Brother Xiao, what's going on with Song Jun?"
Yelu Chen's slave came over in a hurry to ask. Facing his colleagues, Brother Xiao Chang was quite helpless and said with his lips: "Look at the formation of the Song Army. When they entered the right camp before, they immediately turned the right camp upside down."
"Is the Chongyi Army finished?"
Yelv Chen's slave said in shock, he actually didn't need to ask, he could see the blood of the Chongyi Army was drained with his eyes. The right camp of the Liao Army was stationed by the Chongyi Army. This army has been the leader since the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Yishui.
There are many disasters. Yesterday's defeat has completely marked the emperor Yelu Hongji's mind as being unfit for reuse.
He has even been removed from the emperor's mind.
But even so, this army used to be an army with good combat effectiveness in the Liao Kingdom. Now that the entire army has been wiped out, it makes people feel uncomfortable.
"What is your Majesty's order?" In fact, Yelu Chen's slave did not come to rescue the Chongyi Army. He came because Brother Xiao Chang ordered the front camp to be transferred.
There is a saying that one move can move the whole body. If the front camp moves, the whole camp will move. This is no small matter.
"Drive the Song army away." When Brother Xiao Chang said this order, he suddenly became helpless. He raised his arm and pointed the riding whip in the direction of the Song army and said: "I have been fighting for the Liao Dynasty for more than 20 years, and I have never encountered such a situation.
This kind of opponent is too..."
What a bummer!
Yelu and Chen Jianu thought silently in their hearts.
Brother Xiao Chang sighed: "I don't want to move the front camp, but look at the Song Army. It's difficult to deal with it head-on. Although the Song Army has a strange military formation and the weapons held by the soldiers are also strange. But our army now has no heavy cavalry.
It’s hard to get close. If we get close, we won’t be able to move the Song army’s formation. And the flanks are full of large vehicles. I really don’t understand why, in just a few years, the Song army is so shameless in fighting.”
"Not only that, the number of cavalry in the Song Army's formation is not large, only 1,800. But if you look at the Song Army's cavalry who jumped out of the perimeter, it is difficult to fight from the front. If our army launches an attack from the flank, it will inevitably be restrained by the Song Army's cavalry.
"
"Fortunately, the infantry of the Song Army does not march very fast. As long as I clear the open space in the front camp, I can get some buffer. The infantry of the Song Army will definitely not react as fast as our army on the battlefield. As long as we are prepared in advance,
It's not like there's no chance." Yelu Chen's slave said comfortingly.
Having said this, Brother Xiao Chang couldn't help but sigh: "It's like a hedgehog with no place for its mouth. Isn't it difficult to fight this battle?"
Brother Xiao Chang said this on the surface, but judging from his appearance, he didn't have any means at all. He was helpless allowing Song Jun to show off his power in front of him. But until his means are used, no one can tell the end.
Whether it can be effective? After all, the Song army has been showing off its power in front of the Liao army for a long time, and no one can do anything to Li Kui.
What if he told the big story and was beaten up by Li Kui Pang in the end, who would he ask to reason with?
"But why did the Song Army adopt a defensive posture before?"
It is not difficult to see from the situation that the Song Army's infantry is very strong in combat, and even the light cavalry of the Liao Kingdom, which is known for its speed, is difficult to get close to. But why did Li Kui hide such a strong infantry combat capability?
Li Kui had something to say.
He originally wanted to let the Liao army attack fiercely, and then he could stand with unlimited output like Liu Yu did and kill the Liao army. As long as half of the Liao army died, even if Yelu Hongji took the lead in the charge, the rest of the Liao army would probably be killed.
He didn't have the guts to launch a fierce attack on the Song army. If he couldn't defeat the Song army, he could only run. As long as the Liao army ran away, Li Kui could follow the Liao army and earn an advantage.
But who knew that the Liao army actually wanted to fight him to death.
Doesn’t this force Li Kui to fight for his life?
But the desperate method left the experienced commanders of the Liao Kingdom confused. For a long time, Brother Xiao Chang said to Yelu and Chen Jianu angrily: "Fighting with Li Kui is like... It's like fighting with a group of people."
The bandits fight without their lives."
"how come?"
How could Li Kui, a famous general in the world, be compared with a bandit?
But only bandits would be so careless, destroying their opponent's camp even if they don't want their own camp, right?
But Li Kui really has the temperament of a mountain bandit.
What is the temperament of a mountain bandit?
He was willing to be killed and dared to pull the emperor off his horse.
Bandits are a group of bold guys who dare to do anything.
Moreover, the bandits will not have the thought of retreating because of their lack of strength, because-men cannot afford to lose this person.
If you can't win, you have to fight, and if you can't, you have to fight even more. Men live for fame in the world. If they run away, wouldn't they become cowards?
Speaking of which, Li Kui's temper is very similar to that of a bandit. At least that's how he behaved in the war.
But Li Kui also has a bright spot. If you want to distinguish him from a bandit, that is, he is a cultured bandit. He knows tactics, knows how to take advantage of the situation, and can also use some strategies, plus some strange weapons.
It can make him the most dazzling person on the battlefield.
Brother Xiao Chang turned to his subordinates and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Manager, everyone in the front camp has left, but the tents..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm asking if the cart is ready?"
"Tell the general manager that the cart is ready. It's just that the soldiers are a little reluctant to push the cart, and some of the men are also a little dissatisfied with not having to use war horses to ride and shoot."
Brother Xiao Chang interrupted his subordinates rudely and said sternly: "I feel uncomfortable. As long as I give the order, I will attack you. If anyone dares to retreat from the battle, his family will be reduced to slaves and all the soldiers will be killed by me."
"Got the order!"
The subordinate immediately went down to deliver the order.
When Yelu Chen's slave heard Brother Xiao Chang's order, he suddenly felt enlightened and said in surprise: "Brother Xiao, have you found a way to defeat the Song Army?"
"Let's give it a try, I don't know if it will work!"
