Chapter 399 Mountain Plum Blossom Formation

Chapter [-] Mountain Plum Blossom Formation
This exercise, in fact, has a lot of limitations.Feng Li was allowed to use all his strength, the Prince of the Eastern Palace led the left and right commanders, and the Prince of the Eastern Palace Zuowei led thirteen Zhechong mansions with a total of more than [-] troops. In fact, more than half were killed in battle, and nearly one third were captured by Chen Ying.

At the end of the exercise, all the generals in the East Palace under Feng Li were like eggplants beaten by frost.These situations had already been expected by Chen Ying, so he said to the generals very calmly: "In the plains, in the open field, the two armies confront each other. Your method is not wrong. But in the mountains, you can't fight like this. It's good for you, the troops line up in a dense line and line up to attack on the mountain. This saves the defenders trouble, and the archers don't need to aim at all. Even women and children who are afraid of killing chickens with a kitchen knife can lift stones and knock you down. .”

Feng Li was completely convinced now. When Chen Ying was guarding the mountain, the methods he used made him shudder. Thinking about it now, he still feels terrified.

He ordered the four Zhechong Mansions led by You Siyu to launch an attack from the valley in the east. However, just as the formation was unfolding, the accumulated snow on the mountain suddenly swept down, and they survived. It's just that he was drenched in snow and made a mess.Afterwards, Feng Licai found out that when Chen Ying sprinkled salt on the snow, the snow that was originally frozen as hard as iron melted and loosened, forming a very small avalanche.

If it is said that what happened to You Siyu led was unexpected, and it was acceptable if they were not fully prepared, then Zuo Wei led the five Zhefu defeats.They had just climbed halfway up the mountain, but the three regiments led by the right guard of the East Palace Prince descended like a tiger. With just one charge, the right guard was beaten to pieces, and most of the soldiers were severely beaten. , and then tied it with a rope, and froze in the snow for half an hour.

In fact, the equipment of the left guard rate and the right guard rate in the Eastern Palace is basically the same. Due to the narrow mountain road, even the formation of a team cannot be carried out. However, Chen Ying adapted the right guard rate into a mixed method, and used bows and crossbows to shoot far away (remove the arrowhead) , stained with white ash, white dots appear to determine casualties) those who are close use footsteps to attack, especially the shooting regiment led by the left guard. The dozen or so gangs of the group made a surprise attack, and the shooting regiment, which basically had no melee combat effectiveness, was defeated in just a quarter of an hour. Not the slightest temper.

Feng Li didn't even know about the news that the Zuowei led the entire army was annihilated, but the result was good. The Yousi Yu led a big defeat, Feng Li ordered to withdraw and retire, but Chen Ying let the soldiers led by the right guard pretend to be the Zuowei led, and entered with ease. Feng Li's camp captured everyone below Feng Li.

The army is a place that pays attention to strength. Chen Ying wins more with less, and defeats the left and right commanders and left guards. Now all the generals have no temper, and they are also convinced by Chen Ying. Most importantly, if Wang Shichong The defenders at Hangu Pass also used this method. They led [-] Zhechong Mansions four times.

Feng Li still needs to show his face, since he lost, he can afford to lose.He was ready to accept the most severe punishment from Chen Ying, and even prepared to resign automatically, but Chen Ying acted like a normal person and didn't mention this at all.This made Feng Li uneasy and moved.

Feng Li can afford to let it go, Chen Ying has already given him face, if he doesn't praise him again, after more than 30 years, he will be regarded as living like a dog.

"I don't know how to fight this battle in the opinion of General Chen?" Feng Li's attitude was very good, and he put Chen Ying's subordinates completely, instead of relying on the old to sell the old.

Chen Yinglang said: "Wars in the army are not about rangers fighting. What we pay attention to is mutual cooperation. The middle baseman defends in front, the shooter is responsible for pressing and covering, the long soldiers step forward to press, and the infantry fights in front. Teams are used as tactical units. Five groups form two fronts and two rears. One group is in the middle to support maneuvers, like a plum blossom, and it unfolds quickly. Groups and groups, teams and teams, brigades, brigades, and regiments must cooperate closely and be flexible and maneuverable. Resist from the front, shoot from a distance and attack from a short distance. The attack must be decisive and vigorous..."

While Chen Ying was explaining the principles of mountain tactics and how to cooperate with the generals of the East Palace, a man with a fake beard on his face and his head bowed quietly whispered to the two captains beside him, one fat and one thin. Said: "Quick, write it down!"

The fat captain took out a small porcelain bottle and pulled out the cork, while the thin captain quickly took a fine pen and quickly wrote down on the paper.

If Chen Ying saw this bearded captain clearly, he would definitely find out that he still knew this person.This person is none other than Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was appointed by Li Yuan as the order of the Minister of Xingtai of Shaanxi Province, and also as the Marshal of the Army and Horse of the East Shaanxi Province. , The champion general Chen Ying shot for the right servant of the Shangshu of Xingtai, Shaanxi Province, and concurrently served as the deputy marshal of the right capital of the Eastern Shaanxi Taoist soldiers.

Although the official decree has not been issued to the world, Li Shimin has already received the exact letter. At this time, Li Shimin suddenly received the news that Li Jiancheng will lead the left and right guards of the East Palace, and the left and right governors of the East Palace, which is equivalent to four-fifths of the East Palace. The military strength (the total establishment of the left and right Qingdao forces in the East Palace is that there are three Zhechong mansions each, and the total force is between 200 and 5000 people. However, in fact, the left and right Qingdao rates together only have four Zhechong mansions, which is less than [-] people.) Handed over to Chen Ying , let Chen Ying train.

Three days ago, Li Shimin received news that Chen Ying had brought more than [-] soldiers led by the left and right guards and the left and right siyu to Zijin Mountain for training. Li Shimin then quietly left Chang'an City with his eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui and Duan Zhixuan , arrived at the foot of Zijin Mountain.

Li Shimin had already bought people from the various armies of the Eastern Palace, so without even Chen Ying knowing, Li Shimin had already mixed into the Eastern Palace Army and participated in the whole process of this extraordinary exercise.

In fact, this exercise, which lasted only two days and one night, opened Li Shimin's eyes, and of course the most shocking.Li Shimin knew very well that with the same strength, his performance might not be much better than Feng Li's. Obviously, Feng Li's defeat was very miserable.

Du Ruhui scribbled down what Chen Ying said on the paper, and Li Shimin listened with great interest.

Of course, while introducing, Chen Ying ordered a brigade led by the Prince of the Eastern Palace, Youwei, with more than a hundred people to practice the Plum Blossom Formation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the right guard's understanding of mountain warfare is still half a bottle.Their movement coordination was quite unfamiliar, even a little clumsy. As the saying goes, the outsiders are lively, and the insiders watch the way, but Li Shimin saw something different.

Although the movements were jerky during the exercise, they gradually became smoother.

While directing the drill, Chen Ying introduced to the generals: "It is right to be brave in combat, but bravery is not suicide. Every time the soldiers attack, as a general, you must anticipate the worst situation, think of it and find a reasonable way. When fighting in a mountainous environment, ambushes are the most frequently encountered, and the plum blossom layout in the middle, two fronts and two rears, is currently the most effective way to prevent being tricked. If you look carefully, the tactical formation like a plum blossom, no matter which one you come from An ambush from any direction can form an effective defense or counterattack in the shortest possible time..."

PS: The most painful thing in life is typing in an Internet cafe, with a group of funny people sitting on the left and right, yelling.Wait for more.
