Chapter 112 The overall situation has been decided
As the colorful flags in the hands of the messengers swayed, the Chinese army's orders were accurately conveyed to every participating unit on the battlefield. Zhanxiong's troops, who were preparing to participate in the roundup of deserters on the mountainside, immediately changed their route and headed towards the Turkic soldiers on the mountainside.
The left wing rushed over.
At the same time, Wang's Fifth Division, who had received the order, had also begun to attack the other fugitives at the foot of the mountain who were rushing towards the pass.
On the opposite mountain top, the team that received the order to go down the mountain to suppress the bandits shouted loudly, like a torrent of steel, instantly covering the enemy troops scurrying in the valley. Amidst the screams and begging for mercy, the battle ended at an extremely fast speed.
After eliminating the bandits fleeing in the valley, the army at the foot of the mountain joined Wang Wu's troops and immediately chased the deserters who fled to the Yangtze River pass.
"Turn your hands to make clouds, turn your hands to make rain, what a good trick!" Even if there are two opposing sides, the Turkic Hu Zhuoer is still the commander-in-chief of the Zhou army, and he admires him greatly. He turned his head and took a look at the people in the valley.
The green forest gangster who was kneeling on the ground and raising his hands in surrender turned his head and looked at the scholar in green clothes not far above him, took a deep breath and said with admiration.
However, it was only for a moment. After all, the two sides were in a fight to the death. Hu Zhuoer thought more about how to kill the other party, cut off the other party's head, and escape with his brothers.
Just now, he was still thinking about breaking out of the encirclement victoriously and returning to the grassland. However, as the battle situation changed fundamentally, his plan was seen through. Victory was already out of reach. The only thing he thought about was how to survive.
.
"Warriors, charge!" Hu Zhuoer bit the tip of his tongue, trying to keep his mind clear. He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, raised his scimitar and shouted while charging upward.
On the mountainside, Lu Heng accurately judged the changes in the battle situation and adjusted his army's deployment at any time.
Behind him, Wu Ningyuan stood there quietly. Looking at the scholar in front of him, he looked at the battlefield with a calm expression, commanding and dispatching with ease.
His eyes, which were cloudy just now, began to become clear at this time. The decadent expression on his face also disappeared with the change of the battle situation.
With a look of joy in his eyes, he looked at Lu Heng in front of him, who was speaking calmly to the messenger. He stroked his beard and nodded. Although his expression was trying to be calm, in his heart, he was actually upset.
This person's accurate vision, accurate grasp of the battle situation, and superb control of the bow and arrow battalion were all things Wu Ningyuan, who had decades of military career, seen for the first time.
Moreover, looking at the indifferent smile on the scholar's face and the calm eyes, it seemed that everything was under his control.
What a monster!
Wu Ningyuan looked at Lu Heng with a smile on his face and thought for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable word. Finally he sighed and secretly praised the word "monster" in his heart.
Lu Heng, on the other hand, was concentrating on the battle at this time.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the Turkic soldiers who were outflanking him in three directions. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the Turkic soldiers in the left and right directions. He turned his head and said to the two soldiers of Prince Ning's Palace standing beside him: "Li Hu, Li Bao
! You two each bring fifty archers to defeat these two groups of Turks!"
Li Hu and Li Bao were the two best archers among Wu Ningyuan's soldiers. They were also brothers. When these two men followed Wu Ning in the southern and northern wars, they were dismissed by their fellow soldiers because of their extremely accurate archery skills.
They were called Zhebie using the name on the grassland, which means cluster of arrows.
Finally, they left the army with Wu Ningyuan and became Wu Ningyuan's personal soldiers.
At this time, after hearing Lu Heng's order, the two men nodded together, each leading fifty archers, and headed towards the left and right wings of the central army.
"Army, military advisor, where are we?" The infantry lieutenant in charge of guarding the Chinese army hesitated for a long time before he plucked up the courage to come up and ask.
From the beginning of the battle to now, the military counselor has been using archers as the main offensive force. But in this era, the regular infantry has been left idle. Except for the brothers who just ordered to charge on the opposite cliff, the infantry of the Chinese army
It has never been enabled.
Looking at the brother opposite, he easily swept away the opponent's remaining soldiers and earned military merits with ease. The lieutenant suddenly became unable to sit still and smiled as he stepped forward to ask for help.
Lu Heng glanced at the lieutenant whose face was flushed due to nervousness, smiled and said: "You are responsible for protecting the Chinese army camp, and you also have an important task. Don't worry, you will have a chance to perform in a while!"
"But! Military advisor!" The lieutenant blushed and stepped forward to say something, but was blocked by a cold shout from Wu Ningyuan behind Lu Heng.
"On the battlefield, orders are prohibited! Chu Xuliang, do you want to disobey military orders?" Wu Ningyuan did not have the good temper of Lu Heng. When he saw this big-headed soldier and wanted to go forward to ask for a fight, he suddenly felt annoyed and glared at him.
He cursed angrily.
After Chu Xuliang was scolded, Wu Ningyuan turned his head and looked at the archers in front of the battle formation, who were scattered in a row, firing arrows continuously. The black arrow rain, like locusts,
It made a whining sound and pressed down.
Seeing this scene, even Wu Ningyuan, who has had a military career for many years, was still shocked by the deafening sound of arrows piercing the air, which made his scalp numb.
Bows and arrows can actually be used like this?
Before setting off, the number of arrows brought by the archers was enough in Wu Ningyuan's opinion. But then, Lu Heng frowned and asked them to bring more arrows. Those who could not be taken by themselves should be handed over to the infantry.
So along the way, the entire army was like a supply army. On the shoulders of the infantry and on the backs of the horses, there were pots of arrows.
At that time, both sergeants and lieutenants expressed their disdain for Lu Heng's actions. After all, the real main force of Da Zhou was still the infantry. Looking at this pretty face, could it be that those who only knew how to hide behind
Guys who are shooting cold arrows from behind, are you going to fight this battle?
Now, Wu Ningyuan took a look at the one-sided situation on the battlefield, and finally understood why Yong Zheng had been telling the archers to bring more arrows before setting off.
It turns out that he really wants the archers to be the main force in suppressing the bandits!
Moreover, looking at the current situation, it is still extremely successful!
In fact, what he didn't understand was that in the era of Lu Heng's previous life, with the popularization of intensive long-range firepower, the era of thermal weapons also came. Moreover, with the advent of the era of thermal weapons, the decisive factors for victory in wars were
It is no longer infantry, but air and space power.
In Lu Heng's military planning career in his previous life, he was extremely fond of long-range fire strike weapons. For example, drones and missiles. And he tried them repeatedly.
Moreover, in that era, the glory of a war's victory actually depended more on the ratio of casualties between the enemy and ourselves. The government would rather spend tens of billions of dollars more than spend a thousand soldiers.
Life is used to mortgage the war. If, in an asymmetrical battle, our casualties are too great, the government will be overwhelmed by the strong pressure of public opinion, and may even be dissolved by Congress. Therefore, politicians in previous lives,
Whether it is for their own position or for other reasons, they are all paranoid lovers of cutting-edge weapons. Among them, powerful long-range weapons are their favorite.
After coming to this era, Lu Heng's first command was based on the concepts and habits he had developed, and he still used the combat thoughts of his previous life to command the cold weapon battle in front of him.
Fortunately, in this era when long-range firepower is in short supply, there are still bows and arrows available. Even better luck is that the opponent has no archers.
"Uh, yes, Your Majesty!" After being yelled at by Wu Ningyuan, Chu Xuliang suddenly became silent. After clenching his fists to apologize to Lu Heng, he returned to his original position.
After hearing Wu Ningyuan's voice, Lu Heng turned around, glanced at Wu Ningyuan who had returned to normal, smiled, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Wu Ningyuan knew what he meant, rolled his eyes, and snorted: "I've always been very good!"
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Okay, hello to you, hello to me, hello to everyone..."
Uh, why does it look a bit like an advertisement for a kidney-tonifying brand?
Lu Heng, who was speaking smoothly, felt that what he just said sounded very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he found out that it was an advertisement for a tonic that he had seen in his previous life.
Haha, I almost forgot about what happened in the past.
As the cold wind carrying the smell of blood blew, Lu Heng sighed softly and smiled in his heart.
At this time, Li Hu and Li Bao, who had arrived on the left wing, had led archers to suppress the Turkic soldiers on the left and right wings.
Most of the archers they brought over were repeating crossbows. The continuous shooting function of the crossbows played an amazing role in dealing with the Turks gathered on the mountain road below. There was a sound.
After the order was given, hundreds of arrows were densely shot at the rushing Turkic soldiers like locusts.
After a buzzing sound of bowstrings shaking, the rapidly charging Turkic soldiers suddenly stopped in their tracks. Before they even raised their heads to take a look at what was going on, they heard another sound breaking through the air.
The leading Turkic warrior, Battle, heard the sound and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to be thankful that he was not shot through by arrows, he heard the grunts and screams of the soldiers coming from behind, and among the soldiers,
The scream after the arrow fell off the cliff.
Battle was startled, and when he looked back, his eyes were filled with tears, and he was extremely sad. Just now, there were more than 80 troops in the army, but after two rounds of volleys, there were only less than 20 people left.
In his heart of grief and anger, he also forgot about the situation at this time. He held the scimitar and jumped up. He was about to shout to the warrior behind him. Suddenly he felt a chill in his heart. His eyes went dark and he didn't know anything anymore.
As the crossbows continued to sound, densely packed arrows came overwhelmingly. After another round of volleys, the Turkic soldiers responsible for the charge on the left and right wings were completely wiped out.
In the blink of an eye, the battlefield situation once again changed dramatically. After the Turks on the left and right wings were eliminated, the Turks responsible for the main attack on the central army became a lone army. Without the left and right barriers, they became living targets on the mountain road.
As the number of people gradually decreased, Hu Zhuoer, who took the lead, felt sad. When he raised his head, he found that there were less than twenty people standing beside him.
He looked blankly at the Turkic warriors who fell on the mountain road, and his mind was in a trance. He could not hold the scimitar in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a clang.
Lu Heng, who was standing not far away, saw the Turks who were already defeated. He smiled, raised his hand and said to the messenger: "Pass my general's order, retreat with your bows and arrows, and lead Xu Liang to charge with the infantry and surround them!"
Behind him, Chu Xuliang, who had been depressed all the time, felt as if he heard the sound of nature when he heard these words. His expression was suddenly lifted, and he hurried forward, clasping his fists and saying: "Don't worry, military advisor, Chu Xuliang promises to complete the mission!"
"
The archers who had already retreated to the side couldn't help but rolled their eyes after hearing Chu Xuliang's words, and cursed in their hearts: "You are so shameless. A hundred people surrounded twenty people, and you still have nothing to show for it."
What are you saying that you can’t complete the mission? If all such missions are completed, you can just go and jump off the fucking cliff! I’m all ashamed of you!”
"That's right! That man!" Before Chu Xu Lianglin led the charge, Lu Heng stopped him and pointed at the masked Turkic manpower with less than twenty people left.
The young Han man looked at him deeply and said calmly: "Catch him alive!"
