Chapter 773: Zhao Ning's Horizontal Push Tactic!
"It seems that Zong Han spent a lot of money this time!" Zhao Ning said with a calm expression.
Gao Qiu became nervous: "Your Majesty, the Iron Buddha of the Jin Dynasty is famous for its power. What should we do now?"
"Why panic!" Zhao Ning scolded, "Look at your worthless look! The war has just begun!"
Not long after, the scouts came again.
"Report! The Shenwu Army has defeated the Jinren Iron Buddha Tu!"
"That's not Tiefutu." Zhao Ning corrected, "Tiefutu is Jin Wushu's personal army. This kind of cavalry is called a hard army by the Jin people. It was built by Zong Han. It is not as powerful as Tiefutu."
Hearing this, Gao Qiu was even more horrified. Couldn't the Iron Buddha Temple split mountains and crack the earth?
When he heard that the Shenwu Army had repelled Zong Han's heavy cavalry, Zhang Shuye on the other side breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Shuye said: "Your Majesty, do we want to march?"
"There is no rush, don't let small-scale fighting affect the pace of the war." Zhao Ning stood up and walked to the map.
He didn't care how brutal the fighting was.
Because what he saw was how to defeat the main force of the Jin people, and what he wanted was victory in the entire war.
After being defeated by Yue Fei's heavy cavalry, Zong Han would never give up and would definitely launch an even more crazy attack.
"Zong Han has made it clear that he wants to defeat Yue Fei in front of me!" Zhao Ning said, "How can I let him get what he wants!"
At this time, the scouts brought back new information: "Report! Your Majesty, we found a large number of cavalry on the flanks of the Jin people, at least several thousand cavalry!"
The scout was talking about the 20,000 Jin troops currently confronting the imperial guards brigade.
"That's right!" Zhao Ning became excited.
Gao Qiu immediately asked curiously: "I am so stupid that I don't know what your majesty said is right?"
"Zong Han used his main army to fight against Yue Fei, but how dare he come to me with his weak force?"
"That……"
"He fought a positional battle with Yue Fei, using heavy cavalry as a frontal charge, but he never dispatched the kidnapping horses because the number of kidnapping horses in his hand was limited."
"Then his kidnap horse..." Gao Qiu asked.
"His kidnapper horses have all been arranged to come to me. He is waiting for me to send people to rescue Yue Fei, and then use the high mobility of the kidnapper horses to attack the moving imperial guard brigade of our camp!"
"What a cunning Zong Han!" Gao Qiu couldn't help but cursed, just like a little girl scolding a scumbag.
Gao Qiu: Bah! What a shameless stinker!
Zhang Shuye said: "Your Majesty, Yue Fei's troops are not as strong as Zong Han's, so we must send troops to assist him."
Gao Qiu said: "This is absolutely impossible. The Jin people's kidnappers are waiting for us to send troops. If there is a loss, it will be a serious matter! Your Majesty, be careful! You must be cautious!"
Zhao Ning scolded: "Gao Qiu, just go and play!"
"Yes!" Gao Qiu immediately retracted his head and shut up.
"Not only do I want to send out troops, I also want to send out the main force. Does Zong Han want to use cavalry to trap me?" Zhao Ning laughed, "You are looking down on me!"
"Your Majesty, I think that we can send 10,000 elite troops to each side to attack Zong Han's main force, and defend against the cavalry when encountering them." Zhang Shuye said, "Using the numerical advantage of our army, one branch will hold back the cavalry, and the other will attack and cover up the killing."
Gold thief!"
"No, no! We don't even know how many kidnapping horses Zong Han has arranged on this road, let alone the kidnapping horses that come and go like the wind." Zhao Ning already had a solution in his mind. He pointed at the map and said, "I want to follow this
The Jin Army uses horizontal push tactics all the way!"
"Swivel push tactic?" Zhang Shuye was puzzled.
Zhao Ning pointed to the map. It was five hundred meters in front of the army and only two miles away from the Jin army's camp.
"Arrange three thousand soldiers and horses here."
After speaking, he pointed to the five hundred meters to the right of this point and said: "Arrange three thousand troops and horses here."
Then he pointed five hundred meters to the right of the second point and said: "Arrange three thousand troops and horses here."
This has formed a four-mile defense line.
Then, he pointed to the five hundred meters in front of this defense line and said: "Arrange the same nine thousand troops on this line again, the distance is the same as the military formation!"
This forms a matrix defense in depth.
"If the Jin army discovers that we are forming a formation, they will immediately enter a defensive state and send out a second group of troops to hold back the Jin Army's cavalry while the third group of troops and horses go into formation."
Zhao Ning spoke quickly: "With the numerical advantage of our army, while holding back the Jin Army's cavalry, we set up a large formation several miles deep in this open space."
The characteristic of this tactic is actually very simple, just like stacking bricks and pushing them forward.
For example, when the first military formation is formed and the Jin Army's cavalry arrives, I will be the first to defend, and immediately move out the second and third ones, also for defense, to disperse the Jin Army's cavalry, and then move out the fourth and fifth.
It's also defensive.
Then the sixth and seventh, use quantity to open up the depth.
Which one does your cavalry want to attack?
Each of my military formations are five hundred meters apart, making it very convenient to support each other.
How do you want to fight me to the death?
I have more than 30,000 elite Imperial Guardsmen who can march out to reach your formation of 20,000 Golden Army, or even directly surround you!
This tactic places very high demands on the command system.
If it were the previous Song Army, it would never have been possible to complete it, and the more people there were, the greater the difficulty would be.
But Zhao Ning is confident about the current Song Army.
In the afternoon, Zong Han and Yue Fei both stopped and did not continue fighting.
The losses on both sides were considerable.
Regardless of how few cavalry die, cultivating one heavy cavalry is worth eight heavy infantry and sixteen ordinary infantry.
This thing is not only a waste of money, but also requires very high physical fitness of the soldiers. They are all the best.
Otherwise, why would a big boss like Zong Han only be able to dispatch three thousand?
Zong Han didn't know that while he was resting, Zhao Ning had already started to take action.
The imperial guard brigade changed its defense in a circular formation and began to form a square formation, advancing forward according to Zhao Ning's tactics.
This news reached the ears of left wing general Wanyan Arubu, who became happy.
"The Zhao Guan family finally made a move!" Wanyan Arubu showed an excited look on his face, "As long as he moves, my cavalry can quickly find the weak points of his defense! Hahaha!"
A man named Yawuta said: "Maybe we can capture the Zhao Guan family alive!"
"Capture Zhao Guan's family alive! Capture Zhao Guan's family alive!" Everyone became excited.
Wanyan Alubu said: "How many soldiers and horses did the Song army dispatch?"
"It seems like three thousand."
"Three thousand?" Wanyan Alubu said, "Then send out a thousand cavalry for fun. Remember, hold back this Song army and let out more blood!"
"yes!"
After a while, another scout came: "Report! The Song Army dispatched another troop of troops and horses, one mile due east of the first troop of troops and horses."
"It seems that Zhao Guan's family can't bear it anymore. If someone comes, they will send out a thousand more."
After a while, the scout came again: "Report! The Song Army dispatched another troop of troops, one mile due east of the second troop of troops!"
"Is Zhao Guan's family increasing its troops step by step?" Wanyan Alu said patiently, "Send another thousand cavalry!"
"yes!"
In this way, Wanyan Alu's replacement had finished all the five thousand cavalry in his hands.
Chapter completed!
