Turbulent Times Chapter 1150: Strategy and calculation

The Goguryeo cavalry were unwilling to shoot several rounds of arrows. Seeing Yuchi Jingde leading the cavalry was about to charge forward, they knew that they could not resist, so they fled towards both sides.

Behind them, another group of Goguryeo cavalry charged up, brandishing Zhan Ma Dao. Obviously, this was their means of preparing to deal with Yuchi Jingde's excellent armor defense.

However, they obviously underestimated the strength of the armor produced by Snake Island, the sharpness of the steel spear, and the speed at which the steel spear can be thrust out.

Although these Goguryeo cavalry were very brave, before their weapons touched Yuchi Jingde's cavalry, Yuchi Jingde had already led the cavalry under his command to pierce their chests with the long steel spears held in their hands, or lead them to death. They fell off their horses and knocked over the ground, and were easily pierced through their bodies with spears by the cavalry behind them, or they were simply trampled into flesh by galloping horses.

Wang Junlin's tactics seem to have achieved very good results so far.

Yuchi Jingde led 3,000 cavalry in the charge, like a sharp axe, hacked in from the front of the Goguryeo army formation. Like a herd of frightened beasts, they fled backwards and on both sides in a mess, but they were indeed retreating non-stop, more like the receding sea water, retreating backwards with wings scattered, seeing Yuchi Jingde's ax It can split the formation of the Goguryeo army into two halves abruptly.

Shen Guo'er couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Once the formation of the Goguryeo army was torn apart, causing chaos within the Goguryeo army, the outcome of this battle would basically be settled. My lord once said about Yuchi Jingde He is a rare fierce general, and he can train and lead troops, and he is better at commanding troops on the battlefield to charge, and now it seems that he is so.

At this moment, Shen Guoer took the time to turn her head to look at Wang Junlin, but Wang Junlin's expression made her stunned. She saw Wang Junlin frowning tightly, but his expression was much more serious than before.

At this time, about 500 steps behind the Goguryeo cavalry formation, about 2,000 Goguryeo cavalry stood quietly in a square formation. Behind the two thousand Goguryeo cavalry, under the protection of hundreds of elite cavalry, Yuan Taizuo stood in a four-horse chariot

On the ground, he was watching the battle outside Li Xu intently.

"The old man has already sent someone to find out that Yuchi Jingde's three thousand cavalry under Wang Junlin's command are very powerful." Yuan Taizuo shook his head with a smile, "It's just that Wang Junlin used this powerful army to disrupt our formation. Now, if I were Wang Junlin, I would use this strong army to attack from the two wings, as long as our two wings are smashed, we can form an oppressive siege to the Chinese army.”

"Wonderful strategy!" A deputy general glanced at Yuan Taizuo, and couldn't help but praise sincerely: "What the prime minister said is probably something that no one has ever thought of before. It's no wonder that Wang Junlin."

"However, there is a way to defeat this strategy of frontal charge, whether it is our Goguryeo or the people of the Central Plains of China hundreds of years ago." Yuan Taizuo smiled and said: "No matter what Wang Junlin does Charge, we just need to avoid its edge, no matter how well-trained his army is, as long as it is cavalry, the horses will be fast or slow. After the charge, the formation will inevitably be scattered, and the farther they run, The more chaotic the formation, the fast horses will rush to the front, and the slow horses will fall behind. We only need to lure the enemy deep, wait for them to lose touch with the front and back, strike back, surround and annihilate those running at the front with superior forces, and then move the rear to the front. If the troops are defeated one by one, the opponent will soon collapse."

The lieutenant general looked delighted and said: "My lord prime minister is worthy of defeating the million-strong army led by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. With the tactic of my lord prime minister, Wang Junlin will undoubtedly be defeated."

"But it's too early to say." Yuan Taizuo shook his head, looked at the terrain on both sides, and said solemnly: "This battlefield is still too narrow, and there may be some accidents when it is deployed, and the result will not be completely satisfactory. .”

At this time, the lieutenant general had already beckoned for a few messengers, and assigned Yuan Taizuo's tactics one by one.

At this time, under Wang Junlin's side who led the charge of 3,000 strong troops led by Yuchi Jingde, the frontal formation of the Goguryeo cavalry retreated steadily. When it arrived, the whole thing was cut into two pieces.

Of course, this is what Yuan Taizuo expected and what he wants to see now.

Yuan Taizuo also attaches great importance to the investigation of intelligence, perhaps his spies cannot compete with the intelligence organization led by Shen Guoer

In comparison, some ordinary secrets can still be found.

When chasing all the way, Yuan Taizuo already knew from the spies that Wang Junlin had a very strong cavalry under his command. Therefore, Yuan Taizuo had already had a countermeasure against this powerful cavalry.

Yuan Taizuo has to admit that there is such a cavalry with strong self-defense ability and powerful combat power, if it is used properly, it may reap miraculous effects. For example, on a battlefield where space is oppressive, the power of these three thousand cavalry charging into the formation is sometimes enough to change the entire battle situation.

So he carefully planned and laid a trap, waiting for the arrival of this cavalry.

Everything was exactly as he expected. When the cavalry began to charge, it was difficult to maintain a very tight formation.

After Yuchi Jingde led the cavalry to cut deeply into the frontal formation of the Goguryeo cavalry, disrupting the formation of the Goguryeo cavalry, and under the urging of the rhythmic drums behind them, they moved in a loose Formation, chasing the Goguryeo cavalry who were about to panic.

However, after easily "defeating" the frontal formation of the Goguryeo cavalry, Yuchi Jingde discovered that about two miles behind the frontal formation of the Goguryeo cavalry, there was actually an army formation waiting in full force. The Goguryeo cavalry fled to the rear of this army formation.

The cavalry under his command, whose formation had become chaotic, could no longer reorganize their formation, and Yuchi Jingde, who was capable of killing, had no time to wait for the friendly troops left behind by them. He raised his spear and charged at the Goguryeo cavalry, which numbered about 2,000 cavalry.

But this time, their charge seemed to hit a soft wall.

The Goguryeo cavalry all rode fast horses and carried strong bows and sharp arrows. kill.

Although the cavalry under Yuchi Jingde's command are all well-trained and elite horsemen, most of the time, they can't get in touch with the Goguryeo cavalry who attack them. The helmet, facing the Goguryeo cavalry at close range, has suffered heavy losses after a few rounds of arrow rain.
