"Hong Lie, do you think we are considered abandoned by His Majesty?"
During the march, Jin Wushu asked Wanyan Honglie beside him with a cold face.
Even if his Jinwu skills are slow, he still knows how to cut off the Qin army's infantry and cavalry connections. This task is obviously not that easy. If you are not careful, the entire army of 35,000 infantry may be wiped out. In other words, this task is very difficult.
Danger.
At a time when the relationship between Wanyan and Aixinjueluo is becoming increasingly tense, Nurhachi sent him, Wanyan Honglie, and the troops who once belonged to Wanyan's faction to carry out such a dangerous mission, which made Jin Wushu have to doubt
Nurhaci’s intention.
After Wanyan Honglie was silent for a moment, he said, "Don't think too much. Apart from you, there is no one else in the army who can take on this important task."
This battle with the Qin army caused serious losses to the famous generals.
Tuoba Gui died in battle, Fu Jian died in battle, Duduo died in battle, Wanyan Aguda was demoted, Tuoba Tao was defeated and unable to recover...
What Wanyan Honglie said is true. Apart from Jin Wushu, there is really no other famous general who can be used in the Qing army.
Jin Wushu fell silent. He knew that Wanyan Honglie was right, but he knew that besides him, there was another famous general in the Qin army who could rival him, and that was the Crown Prince Huang Taiji.
It's just that it's impossible for the heir to the empire to carry out such a dangerous mission.
"I hope we can all survive after this battle." Jin Wushu sighed.
A trace of struggle flashed in Wanyan Honglie's eyes, and he hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Zong Bi, remember not to fight to the death, everything is about protecting your life... The Wanyan family needs you."
Jin Wushu was stunned and asked: "Hong Lie, can you explain something? Did your father tell you something before he left?"
Wanyan Honglie shook his head: "The master of the house didn't hand over anything. This is just my hunch. Anyway, just listen to my brother."
It has to be said that Aguda was quite cautious. Before the incident, he even hid it from his own son.
Even if he contacted Tuoba Gui and other powerful clans, it was only a hint and no evidence was left. Even if he was noticed by Sticky Rod, there was nothing Nurhachi could do without evidence.
"Fourth Prince, look, the Qin Army's cavalry has really been lured out."
Just when Jin Wushu was thinking wildly, the guard general's exclamation made Jin Wushu come back to his senses, and when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but be speechless.
It turned out that not long ago, 30,000 Banner cavalry had galloped in front of the Qin army's formation, followed by a show of force, but they did not enter the formation.
Although the Qin army's 160,000 infantry formed eight formations and could restrain the cavalry to a certain extent, they could not move after all. Without the cavalry, they could only watch the Qing army show off its power.
After some provocations, the Qing army gradually became bolder and even attacked the Qin army's formation with mounted fire.
Compared with the Qin army's attack density of one crossbow and ten arrows, the Qing army was naturally incomparable. The arrows fired were basically blocked by the shield formation, but they also caused some casualties to the Qin army.
Just as Shanshi Tuo, Yang Dayan, and Tie Shiwen were preparing to boil frogs in warm water to wear down the Qin army bit by bit, the Qin army's cavalry suddenly came out.
Qin Hao appointed Huo Qubing as the chief general, Wei Qing as the deputy general, and Lu Bu as the deputy general. They commanded 30,000 elite cavalry and 40,000 cavalry, totaling 70,000 iron cavalry, and rushed out from the formation.
The Qin army's cavalry is equipped with one horse and two horses. The 70,000 cavalry is equivalent to 140,000 war horses. The sound of the iron hoofs stamping on the ground is as loud as the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, and even the earth is shaken by it.
The three mountain lions and camels responsible for luring the enemy only had 30,000 cavalry, so naturally they did not dare to engage in a head-on confrontation with the 70,000 Qin cavalry. Now that the goal had been achieved, and Nurhaci in the rear also ordered the withdrawal of troops, naturally they retreated decisively.
Thirty-eight thousand bannermen came in a hurry, and now they left in a hurry. The difference is that they were also chased by 70,000 Qin cavalry.
When the Manchu and Qing Central Army saw the Qin cavalry being led out, Nurhaci was so happy that it was indescribable. He never expected that it would go so smoothly and that the Qin cavalry would be led out so easily.
Immediately he said excitedly: "Give me the order to prepare the remaining 40,000 Eight Banners cavalry. Once the Qin cavalry's retreat is blocked by Wanyan Zongbi, I will personally lead the 40,000 cavalry across the mountain and attack the Qin cavalry with three lions and camels."
"twitter."
Cavalry cannot be trained in a short period of time.
In Nurhaci's view, the Qin Army's cavalry had many new soldiers and few veterans, and the new soldiers would definitely lower the Qin Army's overall combat effectiveness.
In addition, although the overall quality of the veterans of the Qin cavalry is not worse than that of the Qing cavalry, there is still a certain gap in the riding skills between the two parties compared with the Manchus who grew up on horses.
However, the Qin army's cavalry combat equipment was well-equipped, which made up for the gap in riding skills. This allowed the Qin army's elite cavalry to have a higher overall combat power than the Manchu elite cavalry.
Therefore, in Nurhachi's eyes, among the 80,000 Qin cavalry, the only ones he really feared were the 40,000 elite cavalry, while the other 40,000 cavalry were vulnerable to a single blow.
Once the two sides fight, Nurhachi is confident that with his 78,000 banner troops, he will defeat the 70,000 Qin Army's old and new cavalry troops head-on.
The Qin Army's Central Army.
Qin Hao had already turned around and was commanding the entire army from the center. General Huo Wei and Lu San led 70,000 cavalry to attack, which was the order given by Qin Hao himself.
After receiving the news from the Jin Wushu Department, Qin Hao smiled and said to the counselors around him: "As expected by the military advisors, Nurhachi was indeed fooled."
Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, and Zhang Liang looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Liang said: "My lord, Nurhachi is not a stupid person. We should close the net as soon as possible before he finds out."
"Um."
Qin Hao nodded, and then said with a smile: "Grand Governor, I will leave the rest to you."
"I will not disappoint my lord."
Bai Qi cupped his fists to receive the order, then climbed onto the general ordering platform, danced to order them in person, and shouted orders.
Once the formation is completed, it is not advisable to make major changes, otherwise chaos will easily occur inside, and the leader of the formation will not be able to completely control the entire formation.
This is also the main reason why most formations cannot move.
Once the formation moves, it will become chaotic. At that time, the person who defeats you may not be the enemy, but yourself.
Of course, if the control of the formation is high enough, the command level of the main formation player is high enough, and the calculation and adaptability are sufficient, it is theoretically possible to move the formation, but the risks of doing so are somewhat high.
It's just big.
Ordinary formations are extremely difficult to move, let alone a top-level formation like the Eight Formations?
Even Zhuge Liang couldn't prevent chaos in the eight formations while moving.
Zhuge Liang's calculation ability is sufficient, but his command ability is not enough. The most important thing is that he does not understand the army well enough.
What Bai Qi is doing now is something that even Zhuge Liang, the creator of the Eight Formations, cannot do. He wants to make the Eight Formations move according to his command without causing chaos.
