Chapter 2115
is slowly taking shape
...
For Liu Tong, commanding this war was definitely an unexpected surprise.
She would not have participated in this battle in the first place, let alone take over the command or assist in the command. After all, how could she give the command if no one was there?
But no matter how much he planned, he never thought that Zhang Ren would directly bring his clone here in a cloth bag. Under normal circumstances, this kind of behavior from the other party would definitely make people unhappy.
But now that things have come to this, he can only take over the battlefield command. He can't just watch the Han army go to complete defeat under the pressure of the enemy.
After taking a look at Si Niang and Yang Wan beside him, Liu Tong could only briefly explain the situation and inform the two to complete the subsequent arrangements, including food and special security, to at least ensure that the main body was safe.
In short, Yang Wan has to provide her with food supplies, and Si Niang can no longer go to other places as she did before, and must stay by her side.
Although Yang Wan felt strange, she did not delve into it and just followed the order out of habit.
Si Niang understood all of this. She looked at Liu Tong with concern and whispered, "Tongtong, you must be careful. The methods on the battlefield are much more troublesome than what we have encountered. You must put your own safety first..."
Facing this gaze, Liu Tong nodded deeply, then switched over and continued to give commands.
"General Zhang, be prepared to break the formation at any time. Also, be prepared to attack at any time." Lu Qi looked at the A-shaped gap he had made on his side, turned his head to look at Zhang Ren, and said seriously.
Zhang Ren understood the meaning instantly and nodded immediately. He then rode his horse and led his army from the center to the front line, preparing to resist the enemy's center army's charge.
It didn't take long for the armies of both sides to collide and intersect. The archers and long-range strike forces of both sides took the initiative to cause damage to the other side.
However, the number of archers in the Han army was actually much smaller than that of the soldiers of the Kushan Empire. The main reason was that there were few elite archers in the country. Another reason was that the auxiliary soldiers were temporarily drawn from various places, and it was difficult to kill people with bows and arrows.
Therefore, most of the choices for long-range forces are crossbowmen. After all, something like a powerful crossbow can at least guarantee the lower limit of output, although the upper limit is far less than that of a bow and arrow.
At the moment the two sides started fighting, the army commanded by Brach showed the intensity of a test war, with a sense of stopping at the right time.
But for Lu Qi, how could he possibly spoil the other party?
Such an obvious and slow way of command, do you really think he can't see it?
The other party's command style has a very big flaw, which is that it places too high demands on grassroots commanders.
When you command your troops to leave a gap, you can see the enemy's troops coming in, which can better verify what you think in your mind.
After confirming this, Lu Qi continued to tear gaps on his own side, thus creating a feeling that everything was going smoothly under the opponent's attack.
With this feeling, the grassroots officers and commanders on the front line felt that if they just put in a little more effort, they would be able to defeat the enemy.
Taking advantage of the enemy's feeling, the two wings of the Kushan soldiers were lured to spread to a farther place.
Only a relatively small number of soldiers are needed to enable the opponent's huge wings to spread out a wider front and invest more soldiers, which is a huge profit. This is what Lu Qi thinks, but it is completely different in Brach's view.
That is, the command of the Han army this time was indeed not as good as Yan Yan's last time. Before he intervened too much, his own soldiers were about to surround the enemy, and when the enemy soldiers gradually fled backwards, they were able to form a larger encirclement, forcing the enemy to be unable to escape.
In this situation, it seems that he can complete the task of annihilating the Han army without Rahman's army.
As soon as this possibility popped up in his mind, Brach couldn't help himself.
Just thinking about this possibility makes people feel the power of temptation.
"Notify all units to intensify the offensive, penetrate the enemy, cut off the two wings of the enemy's rear, and completely encircle them..." Brach looked at the success of the army, as if his own opportunity had appeared, and he spoke directly and loudly expressed his call.
Under such orders, the two wings invested more forces and intensified the offensive.
"We can't overdo it. We still have to fight back and force the other side to invest more strength..." Lu Qi looked at the mobilization of the other side's troops and nodded with satisfaction.
As expected, this guy Brach is not a real commander of a large army. There is still a big gap in this aspect. He can't even grasp the direction of basic soldiers. There is indeed a big gap.
As the order was issued, the Han soldiers on both wings also launched some counterattacks, forcibly curbing the offensive power of the Kushan soldiers.
Seeing this situation, the generals commanding the two wings of the Kushan soldiers became even more excited. They commanded more troops, executed Brach's orders, and launched a stronger attack. Under this attack, they almost gave up the original fish-scale impact formation.
In order to strengthen the strength of the two wings, Brahe did not think twice and withdrew some of the strength from the middle to supplement the attacking power on the left and right sides.
The left and right wings, which had obtained this force, in addition to the flank attacks, also began to pull their troops farther forward, trying to attack and encircle the rear of the Han soldiers.
There was absolutely no intention of leaving any chance of survival for the Han soldiers.
"General Zhang, that's enough. This is the best I can do. Now I'll show you..." Lu Qi looked at the look he created, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Zhang Ren.
It seems that the left and right sides of the army, including the rear, are under serious threat, but this threat is just a threat and will not be fatal in a short time.
By using this method, they were able to mobilize less than 20,000 troops and forcibly draw out more than 60,000 of the enemy's troops, leaving both sides with almost the same reserve forces, providing the possibility of victory for subsequent troops.
Zhang Ren, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, finally understood Han Xin's words at this moment. The gap between him and the so-called famous generals was really not a little bit.
Especially when the number of people increases, the gap becomes even more terrifying.
but…
Zhang Ren looked up at the sky. Under the current specific environment, the military formation he had constructed was slowly taking shape... (End of this chapter)
