Chapter 556 Is this difficult? All generals should know how to do this! Tianjia’s nightmare!
Under Xiang Yan's arrangement, only more than 30,000 Chu troops remained on the main battlefield.
Facing nearly 300,000 Qi troops, this Chu army seemed so weak, and the large banner in front of it seemed like something in a bag.
This is the flaw that Xiang Yan gave to Tian Jia!
The desire to attack Chunyu Huang's three troops was indeed pushed to the limit. The 30,000 Qi troops actually burst out with an astonishing fighting will!
"Charge! Break the formation! The power of killing the general is right in front of you!"
"Don't you just want to be common people for the rest of your life? Seize the big banner! Kill the Chu general, and we can also become nobles. !”
“Kill!”
A chorus of roars shook the surroundings.
Unfortunately, until the Golden Crow fell to the west, this seemingly thin line of defense remained solid!
On the contrary, a Chu army cruising on the edge of the battlefield caused many casualties to the Qi army.
Deputy General Tian Sheng looked at Qu Yang's troops who once again approached the Qi army's rear formation, fired two rounds of arrows, charged the formation with chariots, and then immediately fled to the northeast, he said with a heavy heart: "General, the Chu army clearly involved the main force of our army in the front and middle armies, and then used various troops to weaken our army!"
"Looking at the current battle situation, it seems that our army is stronger, but in fact our army is stronger. The casualties are much heavier than those of the Chu army!”
“We can’t keep fighting like this!”
It’s not easy to kill someone head-on in the cold weapon era.
It is even more difficult to kill a group of elite soldiers wearing armor, holding weapons, and forming a formation to help each other.
So what if the Qi army has more troops?
The space for soldiers to stand and perform is limited.
As long as it cannot overwhelm the defensive formations of Xiang Yan and Xiong Liu, the Qi army will not be able to cause large-scale destruction.
On the other hand, Qu Yang and other Chu troops could always find Qi's weak points. From time to time, they would attack like hungry wolves, bite off a large piece of meat and then turn around and run away!
At present, the Chu army does not seem to have many troops, but every soldier and horse is playing a role.
On the other hand, the Qi army seemed to have a large force, but most of them just stood in the back row of the queue, waiting for the death of Pao Ze in the front row before fighting the Chu army.
Moreover, due to the poor care of the generals and the uneven quality of the soldiers, the Qi army had a lot of weaknesses!
Tian Jia couldn't laugh anymore and nodded solemnly: "What the prince said is true!"
"Order!"
"General Tang Jiu turned to the northeast and drove back Qu Yang's troops!"
"General Zhai Lin left the formation and pursued Sun Xing's troops one after another!"
"General Zhai Lin Ju'ang led his troops to join the rear army and be on guard against the Chu army at any time!"
"General Lu Shao..."
Following Tian Jia's order, they were all stationed together in one place! The Qi army gradually dispersed, chasing the Chu army one after another.
There are no longer an endless number of soldiers around Tianjia standing still and wandering around the battlefield.
Instead, there was a message from a famous messenger, as well as torches lighting up and drums ringing in the distance from time to time.
"Report! General Ju'ang's troops encountered the Chu army, and are chasing them!"
"Report! Our troops encountered an ambush of more than 15,000 Chu troops, please pay homage. Please give reinforcements, General!”
“Report...”
As a famous messenger brought back the military report, Tian Jia felt that his head was a little confused.
Sixteen soldiers and horses are moving and fighting in places beyond the reach of the field.
These sixteen soldiers and horses are either fast or slow, some are fighting, some are chasing, and some are ambushed. The orders given to them by Tianjia cannot be fulfilled in full, and there are all kinds of minor problems. One after another.
Outside the night, there were more than ten Chu troops scattered in all directions.
Not only are they eyeing the Qi army, ready to rush forward and bite at any time, they are also in a state of motion, their positions can change at any time, and even their troop strength will continue to change as they divide and join forces.
Within Tian Ji's field of vision, there were five Qi armies fighting fiercely with two Chu armies, which required Tian Ji's constant attention.
For ordinary people, just memorizing the real-time locations and marching routes of these dozens of teams would make their heads explode!
Tianjia not only needs to remember this information, but also needs to use this information and combine what he has learned to make plans. He also needs to use vague information to judge Xiang Yan's strategic intentions.
The most important thing is time!
This is a battlefield where people die every breath. Every time you delay for one breath, the enemy's strategy is more likely to be formed.
Tianjie needs to confirm the real-time location of each unit in a very short period of time and make correct decisions.
Once Tianjie is slow to make a decision, he will have to pay the price with the lives of soldiers!
Who is not confused?
Tianjia is also confused!
Tian Jia rudely interrupted the messenger and shouted in a deep voice: "Get the map of Kun first!"
While talking, Tian Jiu got off his horse, spread the map of Kun on the ground, and pressed a slightly larger stone on the position that represented his position in the map of Kun, and then ordered: "Continue to report!"
One Stones representing various soldiers and horses were placed on the map of Kun by Tian Jie, finally allowing Tian Jie to see the positions of each soldier and horse at a glance without having to remember.
The speed of decision-making became faster, and the dizziness in his brain also dissipated. Tian Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "This strategy is very good!"
On the other side of the battlefield, , but the doubt in Xiang Yan's eyes became a little thicker: "This Master Qi's fake decision-making speed is really too slow."
"Could it be that Master Qi is pretending to use this move to lower the general's alertness?" , thus making the general underestimate the enemy? ”
“This is too much for underestimating this general!”
“And, where exactly is the ambush of the Qi army?!”
“This general has already exposed such a flaw, is it true that Mr. Qi is lying? Are you not moved at all?"
Qu Huan said hesitantly: "Perhaps Mr. Qi is really unable to deal with it?"
"The flaw revealed by Mr. Qi Maybe you’ve seen it but don’t know how to swallow it?”
Xiang Yan burst out laughing: "How is that possible!" "This general is just using the lives of the middle and front armies and this general as bait, and using the partial division to harass."
"The entire battlefield It's only fifteen miles away. Although it's already night, Mr. Qi won't be able to control the battlefield just fifteen miles away."
Xiang Yan said this with certainty.
Because in the eyes of generals who often engage in large corps operations, a battlefield that is only fifteen miles long and 15 miles wide is simply not enough to fully deploy the troops, let alone various tactics that rely on large corps operations.
Even though Xiang Yan only had 80,000 troops, he still felt that the battlefield here was too narrow!
Let alone a young master with an army of 300,000 men.
Qu Huan said seriously: "But the operation of the Qi army's military orders is difficult and cannot be faked."
"And up to now, the scouts have not found any trace of the Qi army's ambush. ”
Xiang Yan was silent.
It's hard for a fool to pretend to be smart.
But if Tian Jia is really a smart person, it would be even more difficult for him to pretend to be stupid so smoothly!
Xiang Yan’s heart was shaken.
Perhaps he really made a mistake?
Xiang Yan did not answer Qu Huan directly, but said in a deep voice: "Ling!"
"Duwei fought in battle, crossed into the battlefield from the northeastern defense line, bypassed the two soldiers, went straight to the right wing of the Qi army, and fled at the first touch."
"Duwei Zhao was willing to give up the ambush, divided his troops into two, and feinted all the way. Tancheng, attack the Qi army all the way from the north."
"Duwei Laode and Duwei Sun Xing divided their troops. Duwei Laode's troops lured the enemy troops towards Yishui, and Duwei Sun Xing led them. The total number of troops was ten, and they started to harass the Qi army in the northwest direction."
"Captain Xiang Lang..."
Why did Xiang Yan choose to attack the Yishui and Shushui rivers? Roads go hand in hand?
In Tian Jia's view, Xiang Yan was dividing his troops and pretending to be strong.
But in Xiang Yan's own opinion, the farthest distance between the Yishui and Shushui rivers where the war started is only more than a hundred miles, and in places like Tancheng where the two rivers are close, the distance between the two rivers is It's only forty-four miles apart.
This is clearly one battlefield suitable for large corps to launch operations, not two battlefields, so how can we divide the troops?
Xiang Yan did not directly conclude that Tian Ji was incompetent, but continued to expand the scale of the battlefield along the flaws exposed by Tian Ji.
For a time, the battlefield that was originally only fifteen miles away was expanded to more than forty miles away.
The sixteen Qi armies and more than ten Chu armies originally scattered across various places quickly transformed into sixteen Qi armies and more than a hundred Chu armies.
Under the control of Xiang Yan and other generals, more than a hundred Chu armies divided and united like fighting beasts and wolves, and drove the Qi army to form more than ten separate but interrelated groups. Small battlefield.
For Xiang Yan, this is the foundation for being a general.
For the former Ying Chengyu, with the help of Pang Nuan, he learned this lesson the hard way at the cost of tens of thousands of Paoze's lives.
But for Tianjia, this is a nightmare!
A nightmare that never wakes up until the sun rises again! ! !
"Tang Jiu is under siege? Where is Tang Jiu? Where is Tang Jiu?!"
Tian Jiu, who was still high-spirited last night, is now squatting on the ground with disheveled hair, slightly His trembling fingers kept pointing back and forth at the stones on the map of Kun.
The physics plug-in Kun map that Tian Ji was so proud of last night has now been covered with dense stones, making it difficult to even see what is drawn on the Kun map.
"Here! Yes! Here!" Tian Jiu finally found the stone that represented Tang Jiu, and his smoky brain tried his best to think: "Five miles southwest of Tang Jiu's headquarters is Ju'ang's headquarters!"
"Send orders to Ju'ang's troops to go immediately to rescue Tang Jiu's troops!"
The soldiers who sent the orders couldn't help but said: "General, you only ordered Ju'ang's troops to rush here half a quarter of an hour ago."
"Calculating the distance, General Ju'ang should not have reached the place on the map of Kun."
It takes time to send orders, and it takes time to march.
Tianjia can change the position of the stone on the map of Kun with just a movement of his hand.
However, if Ju Ang and other soldiers want to realize Tianjia's strategic plan, they need to use their legs to run to the designated position, and they may be intercepted by the Chu army at any time along the way, making them unable to reach the strategic position designated by Tianjia.
It turns out that Honda can also estimate the specific positions of various soldiers and horses.
But as the battlefield becomes more complicated and energy is continuously consumed, Tian Jia's brain has turned into a ball of mush, and it is no longer possible to calculate such detailed information.
Tian Jia was stunned for a moment and patted his forehead: "Of course it is!"
"It's the loss of this general."
"Then..." Tian Jia continued to look at the stones on Xiang Kun's map, and finally found another troop that could be mobilized: "Order..."
However, Tian Jia's order was still there. Before the order was issued, another messenger came galloping over and hurriedly handed over his hand: "Report!"
"General Tang Jiu's troops were besieged by the main force of the Chu army and intercepted by the Chu army, so they had to withdraw their troops to the north! ”
Tian Jia’s unspoken order will never have a chance to be spoken.
The countermeasures he had been thinking about for a long time had been scrapped as time went by!
Tian Ji had to strengthen his morale and once again formulate countermeasures based on the new battlefield environment.
But Tianjia had just turned his attention back to the map of Kun, and another messenger had already galloped over on horseback, shouting in panic: "Report!"
"General Lu Shao's troops Trapped by the main force of the Chu army, please ask for reinforcements!”
Tian Jiu’s head buzzed.
The CPU, which was already about to burn out, completely collapsed due to this message!
Tian Jiu grabbed his bun and squatted on the ground slowly and painfully, roaring angrily like a trapped animal:
"Where is the main force of the Chu army?"
"Where is it?" ? ! ”
