People all over the world say that the Qiongzhou army is good at conquering and fighting, like a tiger and wolf army.
People also say that Mr. Qi is invincible in every battle and possesses the style of a military sage.
Looking at it now, the rumors are indeed true.
The reason why Qiongjun is famous at home and abroad, and is famous all over the country, is because of the domineering spirit contained in his bones.
Of course, this is also due to strength and is understandable.
If you don’t believe it, take a closer look.
In terms of discipline, they are almost as strong as steel.
Facing powerful cavalry that were ten times their own, they not only showed no trace of timidity, but also showed a look of contempt. Their posture was like looking at a clown.
This scornful and superior feeling is comparable to that of the legendary ace master. Oh no, it is incomparable.
In terms of tactics, the offensive and defensive methods displayed by the Qiong Army were jaw-dropping.
They roughly divided the formation into three levels: outer, middle and inner.
The first layer is the defensive infantry at the front. They hold a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, forming a barrier like the Great Wall, effectively protecting the musketeers and crossbowmen behind them.
The second level is a long-range attack group composed of musketeers. They have only one mission, which is to annihilate the enemy without sparing any effort. Moreover, they must be fast and accurate.
The third level is a short-range attack line composed of serial crossbows. Their mission is to kill the fish that slipped through the net under the musketeers and block the enemies in front of them from the first level of the front. What they faced this time was
Cavalry, therefore, their tactics have changed slightly, and they have been uniformly adjusted to shoot men first and horses first.
This weird formation was so 'peculiar' that everyone in the capital, including the emperor, saw it for the first time.
Eye-opener!
You think this battle can still be fought like this?
Compared with the solemn and orderly manner of the soldiers, the commander-in-chief Qi seemed too casual.
He stood there, saying nothing, only making command gestures that were incomprehensible to outsiders.
That kind of posture feels like a great immortal who can turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain.
In particular, every time he raised his hand, a large number of enemy troops would fall to the ground. It felt like the ultimate move in a novel about cultivating immortals.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
I have seen people fighting, but I have never seen fighting like this!
No matter what, you have to roar twice to exaggerate the tragic atmosphere, right?
Of course, he had nothing. However, this did not affect the intensity of the battle.
The pieces fell down piece by piece, just like cutting leeks.
In a sense, this textbook encounter greatly changed the audience's original understanding of army tactics.
They have clearly realized that the traditional broadsword and spear should indeed withdraw from the stage of history.
Muskets will be the masters of land warfare in the future.
After the emperor was shocked, he quickly wrote down this observation in a small notebook.
In the face of facts, no one can quibble, even those old diehards who insist on being conservative have to lower their stubborn heads.
Strong is strong, weak is weak, which one is higher and which one is lower is clear at a glance.
Qi Yu naturally didn't know what the audience was thinking. At this moment, he was just like a conductor in a symphony orchestra, concentrating on conducting the battle of Tianwang Mountain that attracted everyone's attention.
About half an hour later, he finally spoke his first words since the battle began.
"Change of formation! Change to guerrilla hunting!"
"You keep up your efforts and beat the drowned dog!"
Following this order, the Qiongzhou Army immediately dispersed to the left and right, forming a small detachment consisting of hundreds of people.
Their teams are separated from each other but echo each other from a distance, advancing and retreating in circuitous ways, and they cooperate very well.
Is this a direct transformation from positional warfare to mobile warfare?
The audience finally came to their senses and suddenly understood Qi Yu's motive for the change of formation.
As far as the current battle situation is concerned, the Qiong Army has an absolute advantage in the battle, and victory is only a matter of time.
However, as the corpses of men and horses gradually piled up, a towering high wall has now been formed.
In front of this 'wall', whether it is horses or infantry, their movement will be hindered.
As a result, Qiong Jun's long-range shooting became much more difficult.
Qi Yu assessed the situation and adapted accordingly, using the corpse wall as a cover trench to carry out hidden shooting. In this way, the advantage of long-range attacks could be more effectively utilized.
This change of his seems ordinary, but the effect is quite remarkable.
The efficiency of killing has been suddenly improved.
In the following time, it basically became a unilateral target practice for the Qiongzhou Army.
After a while of tea, the Donglu army was reduced to a few hundred people.
At this moment, Qi Yu suddenly ordered again: "Charge with bayonet and capture the enemy chief alive!"
The soldiers immediately responded, "Yes!" Seeing that the situation was over, Donglu Khan immediately thought of escaping.
However, with mountains of corpses all around, how could the war horse under his crotch run?
After struggling for a long time, the Khan finally moved out more than a foot.
It's almost as fast as a turtle.
With no choice, he had no choice but to abandon his horse and flee, using his eleventh vehicle to cross the mountain of corpses.
But in this way, it provided room for maneuver for the Qiongzhou Army to capture him alive.
It only took a while for Donglu Khan to fall into the hands of hunters.
Seeing that the work was done, Qi Yu immediately trampled Hua Zi and shouted: "Bring that black guy to me quickly, and then hand it over to Your Majesty for a holy judgment!"
After the explanation, he murmured to himself: "You all are using the so-called mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind, but you don't know that the real oriole is someone like me!"
…
As for how the emperor should deal with the Donglu rebels, Qi Yu did not make any form of advice.
With Yin Jun here, is there any need for him to speak?
Impeaching rebellious ministers and traitors is a task within the scope of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so why do amateurs need to interrupt?
The conclusion can be predicted that King Donglu must be a burp.
Sure enough, the emperor complied with the "public opinion" and staged a real-life version of beheading Ma Su with tears.
Qi Yu, after the emperor finished killing one of them, approached him and leaned forward.
Seeing that he wanted to face the saint, all the officials stepped back and gave way, showing great respect.
This is the result of strength and prestige. Who dares to be dissatisfied at all?
Not to mention the officials, even the emperor himself took the initiative to greet him with a small scuttle. The feeling of favor and trust was completely reflected on his face.
"As long as you are here, I will be safe and secure!"
"This is a message sent to Guanglu Temple to hold a grand banquet in the early morning! While celebrating the victory, it is also to prepare for the arrival of Qi Aiqing. You must drink to your heart's content and never return until you are drunk!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
"..."
Qi Yu politely declined the emperor's invitation without even thinking about it.
This does not mean that he refused to obey the order, but there was another reason.
"Your Majesty, I must go home immediately to check if my wife and children are well. If everything is safe, I will return immediately. If there is an accident, I will make corresponding arrangements. Regarding this matter, I still hope for my emperor's kindness.
allow!"
"That's fine! Then I'll prepare a banquet first, and we'll have a feast after you come back!"
