Chapter 707 Listen to the roar of my cannon!
Xu Huizu, who had been defeating, probably did not expect that he would be regarded as "the forbearance of God" by later generations because of the continuous defeat in this battle. In all historical books in later generations, there was no clear communication between Xu Huizu and Zhu Di about this battle, but Xu Huizu perfectly understood Zhu Di's intentions, and had always endured his strength, choosing to defeat and retreat to attract Alutai's attention.
His vision and tolerance, as well as his fearless spirit of being dealt with by military law in the face of defeat, made later military scholars unable to help but surprise the filming.
Of course, what surprised later generations not only Xu Huizu's victory by defeat, but also his magical "closing flowers" tactic after forming an encirclement - later generations believed that this was the ultimate manifestation of the generals on the battlefield's control over their heroic troops, and there will never be any more in ancient times.
Because he had been defeated before, the 70,000 troops under Xu Huizu had long been dispersed by the people of Alutai, and he was "exiled" in the Bar and Stan area in an irregular manner.
When the news of Zhu Di's attack on Saertulu came, Xu Huizu finally showed his fangs.
In just one day, the more than 50,000 troops scattered in the Bal and Stan areas were waiting for the news from the scouts who had been killed in blood: attack according to the plan!
Just to convey this news, nearly 300 scouts sent by Xu Huizu died.
Then……
The Ming Dynasty's "remnants" under Xu Hui's ancestors' army, after enduring for a month or two, was about to be exhausted, and fought a desperate battle under the leadership of Li Yuan and Huozhen.
The Bar and Sta area was filled with smoke.
Looking down from the earth, you will be surprised to find that the scattered troops under Xu Huizu seemed to be fleeing unconsciously, but in the end, they connected their footholds, like a petal of a huge remaining flower, which just sealed the route of the Tatar army's escape to the depths of the western grasslands.
Especially after the encirclement, the more than 50,000 troops were like a shy grass flower. When they were touched, they immediately began to close the petals, quickly opened the passages between them and connected them together, forming an indestructible line of defense.
If Alutai launches a large-scale attack, it may also destroy this defense line, but it will give Zhu Di, Qiu Fu, Zhu Gaoxu and others time to attack from behind.
Xu Huizu's tactic is a god of war!
Zhu Di, who was in the battle situation, probably didn't expect that his big detour would leave a high evaluation in history books as "burning Red Cliffs"? It has become a model of roundabout combat in later generations.
The brigade's troops are restrained? The elite sharp sword is roundaboutly blocking and diagonally inserted, which seems simple? But if it is used flexibly on the battlefield? The change to the situation is by no means as simple as literally.
However, Zhu Di's move was very dangerous? Because he used the blood of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers on the left to create the final advantage of siege and lay the foundation for the complete annihilation? Dare to make such a plan? He needs to have absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of his heroic troops.
Zhu Di was certainly confident.
But Alutai, who was surrounded, had not yet discovered that he had become a cage bird and could no longer fly high. After his cavalry was surrounded, he lost his strategic depth? It was like a goshawk without its wings and landing on the sky.
But he soon found out.
The 20,000 cavalry led by Bagen and Siergan rushed towards the cavalry led by Zhu Di? The confidence was overwhelming. The Ming cavalry led by Zhu Di was less than 10,000, and it was a fatigued army. Moreover, the combat power of the Ming cavalry was not as good as that of the Iron Cavalry on the Grassland. This is a well-known fact.
Twenty thousand to eight thousand? till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till till t
Bagen and Si Nigan were divided into two lines, each with 10,000 cavalry? They formed a horn direction, and wanted to smash the Ming cavalry? They did not give Zhu Di the space and time to evacuate.
It's normal for everything to be too much.
In addition to Zhu Di's formation being incomprehensible, if we follow his previous experience? Bagen and Sinigan think that Zhu Di would choose to use a small amount of troops to restrain him? The large army retreated to Qiu Fu's reinforcements? Avoid war and wait for reinforcements, and at the same time, they can continue to maintain the general trend of encircling their own rear.
But Zhu Di did not.
Zhu Di actually set up a formation, with eight thousand people two points like a cow's horn, which is fine. After all, with a small amount of troops to fight against the superior forces, the cow's horn-shaped formation with a point-breaking surface is indeed easy to penetrate the enemy's offensive line, but Zhu Di's cavalry is extremely strange.
It disperses very openly!
It's like a net full of holes, making the monk confused.
This is completely seeking death.
Bagen and Si Nigan don’t have time to think so much. In order to make tens of thousands of men behind him, they must break through the encirclement of Zhu Di’s cavalry in order to survive in a desperate situation.
Zhu Di and Zheng Heng were each in front of a horn.
Behind Zhu Di was the Shenji Camp cavalry that was unfolding in formation. Everyone held a musket and carried a musket. In order to achieve stronger combat power, nine thousand muskets were called from the infantry before the big detour. Unfortunately, due to the long-distance raid, hundreds of people were reduced by non-combat.
The formation behind him is very strange, with canine teeth intertwined.
Seeing a group of black cavalry rushing up, the earth sounded like thunder, the turf was flying, mud chips shot, and the sky and earth were dying, Zhu Di felt his blood boiling for no reason.
The long-lost feeling surged in my heart, so familiar.
But Zhu Di did not move.
Although he could see the cavalryman on the opposite side posed with a bow and arrow and would shoot volleys after reaching about the same distance, he was still not in a hurry, but just waved his hand and signaled the man behind him to make a design posture.
Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, approaching about 800 steps, Zhu Di roared at the messenger beside him, "Fire a cannon!"
While detouring, Zhu Di transferred the cannons here and stayed away from the enemy's scouts under the cover of his own infantry as much as possible. Therefore, he also took a lot of ways, and the non-combat reduction reached a terrifying 20%.
After all, transporting cannons is too difficult.
It was precisely because the artillery had already landed that Zhu Di dared to lead 8,000 cavalry unscrupulously to block the retreat of Alutai.
The messenger immediately turned around and waved the red and yellow flags in his hand to sing the flag.
After more than a dozen breaths, a deafening sound rang behind the cavalry of Shenji Camp. The smoke rose and the smell of gunpowder fluttered with the wind. Then, bursts of fire appeared from the charge lineup of the Tatar cavalry, and the explosion broke through the eardrums.
People are on the back and horses are overturned!
In an instant, he rushed towards Zhu Di and lost hundreds of Tatar cavalry.
At this moment, the Tatars had five or six hundred steps away from charging to a position where they could ride and shoot in one round. They could not fight back, and they could only face the artillery of the Ming Dynasty's heroic army and continued to charge desperately.
The cannons are still roaring.
Red flowers bloomed in the lineup of the Tatar cavalry, and people were constantly being dropped. They were either bombed to death on the spot or were trampled into meat by the cavalry behind them.
It is absolutely impossible for someone to be still alive after being injured and fallen.
If the people in front of the cavalry lineup want to survive, there is only one way to break through the enemy lineup, and at the same time, they must pray that they will not be killed by the enemy during the collision.
