From being famous all over the world to his rapid decline, Baima Yicong left many emotions and sighs to the world. However, for the current military strategists, what he gained was experience and lessons.
Light cavalry, even the strongest light cavalry in the world, is very mediocre when it comes to attacking fortresses. The only places that can best utilize their advantages are mounted shooting or mobile combat.
Gongsun Zan's tactics at Hulao Pass, Wang Yu's raids and harassment with cavalry when he defeated Qingzhou, and the paper armor he later designed specifically for light cavalry all prove this point of view from the front. And in the Battle of Jieqiao
, the destruction of Baima Yicong is undoubtedly a negative example.
The world has mixed reviews of Wang Yu's character, but regarding his military talents, especially his use of cavalry, even the most picky critics can't make any serious criticisms. At most, they are sour.
Just say a few words: "Those who are fond of taking risks will surely lose in the long run." That's all.
On the contrary, many people study his battle cases carefully, and those who have nothing to do with it try to find out what is beneficial to themselves, learn and absorb it; the enemy is summarizing it, and even tries to find his weaknesses.
It is the conclusion reached by most people that Qingqi is unfavorable in attacking fortified areas. In addition, the tactics of defeating Qingqi head-on are also widely circulated - strong bows, powerful crossbows, and spearmen arrayed in dense formations. Use this tactics to face the enemy
The light cavalry can urge the enemy to attack with sharp force.
To put it bluntly, it is the tactics used by Quyi’s Xianden camp in the Battle of Jieqiao.
Cao Ren is also a famous general who is familiar with military books and strategies and is proficient in strategy. How could he not be prepared before facing an enemy like Wang Yu? The arrangement of confronting Taishi Ci may seem random, but in fact it is a strategy that he has carefully thought out.
.
This tactic may not be able to stop Tai Shi Ci's edge - after all, this man is a fierce general who fought to a draw with Dian Wei, and with the help of three hundred elite soldiers, it is not surprising that he can break through the defense lines of the two troops.
However, he is very confident that even if he cannot block it, he can greatly delay the enemy's charge and even cause a lot of casualties. For light cavalry, speed is everything. Once the speed drops, they are not even as good as infantry.
However, when it came time to decide the outcome with real swords and guns, he was shocked to see a scene that was completely opposite to what he expected - the Qingzhou cavalry was like a sharp blade, piercing through his defense line with devastating force, that steel jungle,
Just like a piece of paper, it was penetrated in one go. Not to mention killing a large number of enemies, it failed to even achieve the minimum goal of slowing down the speed.
"How is that possible?" He stood up suddenly from his horse, staring straight ahead, recalling every process before the two armies came into contact.
First, he blocked the arrows and avoided them. Cao Ren noticed that during this process, the cavalry array spread out widely, and the arrow rain covered the densest places. Although some cavalry could not escape, overall, the effect of long-range attacks was very poor.
, completely failed to achieve the effect of giving the enemy a head-on blow.
Then, the enemy cavalry fired accurately while galloping, causing a small-scale chaos in the spear array.
In the end, Taishi Ci exploded with all his strength, blazing a bloody path through the spear array.
It was that simple, not complicated at all, but it turned out to subvert Cao Ren and even the entire Cao army's senior leadership's understanding of light cavalry.
The weakness that was promised was gone. Cao Ren watched helplessly as the enemy cavalry galloped past the bloody path that his general had trodden. He ignored the sporadic harassment from the spearmen on both sides and did not take advantage of the chaos to pursue them.
The enemy soldiers rushed over at such a high speed and crashed into the front line of the army!
"Could it be that Qingzhou's Qingqi has surpassed Baima Yicong? How is this possible?" Various thoughts came to Cao Ren's mind, but in the end they turned into repeated exclamations.
"...General Zixiao, Taishi Ciyong is unstoppable. It seems that he is coming towards the central army of your army. Shouldn't he try to resist it?" Zhang Yang was also frightened, but after all, he was not fighting his own soldiers.
, it didn’t matter to him, he recovered very quickly, and he was even a little happy in his heart.
The braver Taishi Ci is, the less likely he is to be defeated and ridiculed by others. At least he divided his troops and marched, but Taishi Ci came and defeated them one by one, and many mobs followed him to bluff, and then he lost his troops. However, Cao Ren took advantage of it.
He led a large army to besiege, but was defeated by an overwhelming force...
Haha, with Cao Ren as his foil, his defeat in the battle does not look so stupid. After all, he is just a prefect of a county, and he is incomparable to Cao Cao, who is already dominating the two states of Henan.
In short, as long as there are worse companions, you are not the stupidest.
Of course, he didn't think that Taishi Ci could really break through the central army and turn defeat into victory. The possibility was too great. As long as he was still a human, he couldn't be so awesome. At most, it would add some obstacles to Cao Ren and support him.
That’s all.
Zhang Yang was already considering whether to take advantage of the entanglement between Taishi Ci and Cao Ren to dispatch troops and generals to besiege the people in Dongyang City.
Killing was not his goal, but plundering supplies was. In this kind of thing, it is also important to strike first to gain advantage. Since Cao Cao is showing kindness to himself, then as long as he gets the things first, Cao Ren will not rely on force to fight.
This benefit was obtained first.
Even without Zhang Yang's reminder, how could Cao Ren not realize that Taishi Ci's blade was pointing at his own army?
But what if he realizes it? He has no way to solve it at all, at least conventional methods will definitely not work.
The enemy cavalry has already entered the battle, and it is definitely not feasible to cover the attack with arrow rain. The only choice is to constantly mobilize troops and move forward to besiege. Cao Jun is also a well-trained elite who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Although Cao Ren was stunned for a while just now
, but Cao Jun's response was not slow at all, and all the troops had already surrounded him.
There is only one problem, and that is that we can’t contain it!
Before entering Cao's army's formation, the Qingzhou cavalry had already completed a change of formation into a wedge formation, with Tai Shi Ci as the sharp edge. Everyone followed behind him and charged forward with all their strength. They were not reluctant to fight at all, and the same was true for the enemy attacking from the side.
Don't pay attention to it, just rush forward with all your strength.
Because they were too fast, the Cao army attacking from behind could not catch up at all. Those who attacked from the side could only kill a few cavalry, but could not complete the separation and encirclement. Although the Qingzhou army has been reducing its numbers, the momentum of the fierce attack has always been
As one.
Cao Ren has already seen that the key to this decisive attack strategy lies in the leader Taishi Ci.
The power this man unleashed with all his strength was so strong that it was impossible to resist.
Those who faced him head-on would be swept away with his halberd by his wave of his hand. The move was so powerful that long weapons with thorns were often smashed away by his halberd. Even if someone could barely hold on, it would be of no avail. He still had a spear in his left hand.
, the gun is as powerful as electricity, one probing and stabbing is a life, making people defenseless.
The most deadly thing is his hidden weapon. The short halberd behind him seems to be endless. The screams come and go, and each time they are accompanied by large swaths of screams.
Unstoppable!
Invincible!
Only such words can describe this man's bravery.
Cao Ren finally understood that those simple tactics were not as simple as imagined.
Using the same tactics, Qu Yi used a thousand men to block the fierce attack of 3,000 righteous followers, but with an army of 20,000, he could not even slow down the 300 enemy cavalry; Yan Gang, with 3,000 righteous followers,
He was hit in front of the Xianden camp and was bleeding, but Taishi Ci was devastated, as if he was in a deserted place.
After all, warfare requires people to perform it. Different core characters can produce different momentum with the same army.
Cao Ren stopped being underestimating the enemy, and his expression became more solemn than ever before. He raised his right arm and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass my general's order to change the formation! Use the eight-door golden lock formation to trap the enemy!"
"General?" Deputy General Shi Huan was immediately dumbfounded.
The Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation is one of the variations of the Xuanxiang Formation, and it is Cao Ren's best and most proud weapon.
However, since it is a suspicious formation, the lethality is not the most important thing, but the effect of confusing and trapping the enemy is. Generally speaking, only the weak side will use the suspicious formation to fight the enemy, but now, it is clear that there are more people on our side.
The crowd... It seems that this word cannot be used to describe it accurately. The number of enemies is not even a fraction of our own!
The arrogant and arrogant General Zixiao put up such a formation to face the enemy, which not only meant that he gave up on a quick battle and chased the mob; it also meant that he had surrendered, bowed his head to the enemy general, admitted defeat, and admitted that he was not the opponent's
opponent!
"You haven't carried out the order yet!" Shi Huan's hesitation made Cao Ren furious. Shi Huan did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to deliver the order.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The horn seemed to become particularly low. Cao Ren's siege force suddenly stopped, and the array spread out in all directions. Several times more flags than before were raised, and Cao Ren's general flag was instantly
Covered in a sea of flags.
"This is..." Tai Shici suddenly felt that everything in front of him was empty, and the suffocating pressure disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He raised his head, looked around, and soon realized where the familiarity came from, and murmured: "It's the Xuanxiang Formation again? No, it seems that there are changes outside the Xuanxu Formation... life, death,
Jing, Kai, Shang, Du, Jing, Xiu...the eight-door golden lock?"
"General!" Li Shiyi, who had been following Taishi Ci, quickly caught up with him and loudly asked Taishi Ci for advice.
The cavalry charge cannot be stopped, especially the desperate assault method used by Taishi Ci. Finding a certain direction and charging all the way to the end is the biggest feature of this method. The physical strength of humans and horses is not unlimited. This method of tactics
It is impossible to fight endlessly. The target chosen must be a high-value target.
But now, the enemy general obviously didn't want to fight for anything. He regarded the three hundred cavalry as three thousand or even more cavalry to deal with it. It is unclear whether Taishi Ci can be trapped to death in the doubtful formation. The problem is that the enemy cannot be found.
Where is the general, how can we fight this battle? Charge in the original direction? The Xuanxiang Formation is always changing, so charging forward is in vain.
"There is no other way, just charge to the end and kill as many as you want!" The situation was critical, but Taishi Ci laughed loudly: "When a man is born in troubled times, he should carry a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements; now that his achievements have been made, why be afraid?
Are you dying?"
As he spoke, he raised his halberd and pointed forward, roaring loudly: "Qingzhou Tiger Ben..."
Everyone was infected by his heroic spirit. For a moment, they forgot about life and death, success or failure, and just shouted to Xianghe: "Invincible in the world!"
The roar was like thunder and rolling like waves, instantly sweeping over the entire wilderness.
At this moment, the mountains responded, the water responded, and the roaring sound stirred up endless echoes in the sky. What is surprising is that the echoes did not weaken, but became louder and louder, until they hit us like thunder!
"This is..." That was not an illusion, but a reality that actually happened. I saw...
A wisp of smoke rolled up from the sky, connecting the sky and the earth like a pillar of strength! Under the smoke, a black line moved forward quickly like a sea tide, and its figure was quickly visible!
cavalry!
Countless cavalry!
Shouting the war cry of "Qingzhou Tigers are invincible," and with the earth-shattering sound of horse hooves, they surged forward!
The first general, a white horse and a silver spear!
Where the flames of war are gone, the horse is like a dragon! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
