Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 20 Pocket Array

"No, we are ambushing!" At first, the rebels of the Southern Huns realized that something was wrong.

But even if a few people realize that this is an ambush, they can't stop the comrades around them from rushing into Xiang Yu's camp. On the dark desert grassland, many horses roar, soldiers shout and intertwine The light of the torch together, as well as the flying blood and screams, all these constitute the painting at this moment.

Many years later, Xiang Yu asked someone to draw this scene. Of course, there were many other important moments that were drawn at that time. The artist drew everything based on Xiang Yu's memories and descriptions. Are those paintings real? Much like it doesn't matter anymore, what matters is that they represent some very important moments for Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu led his troops out from the flanks. His primary goal was to concentrate his forces and attack the entrance of the camp, thus temporarily cutting off the connection between the inside of the camp and the Southern Huns rebels outside the camp. Enemies who enter the camp are surrounded on all sides. The so-called soldiers are impermanent and water is impermanent. Many times on the battlefield, soldiers must be able to gather and spread quickly like water to form a favorable situation for themselves. battle formation.

Previously, when Xiang Yu trained his soldiers, they were trained as a unit of two people, and now is an excellent time to test this tactical arrangement. The two soldiers in each combat unit hold shields and spears respectively. They fought back to back against the enemy troops on both sides, while besieging the Southern Huns rebels who had already entered the camp, while preventing other Southern Huns rebels outside the camp from supporting them.

This tactic is very risky, because in fact it also causes every combat unit to bear extremely huge pressure and needs to face pressure from both sides at the same time, so this tactic cannot be used from the beginning, but It is necessary for Xiang Yu to lead a sharp-headed cavalry unit to rush the enemy's formation out of a wide enough opening, and then let such two-person combat units enter the opening.

And once a certain place can't withstand the pressure, other surrounding combat units need to continue to push up. The camp of Xiang Yu's army is not small, but it is not big. It is already a bit crowded if hundreds of people stand at the same time. There is even less room for the cavalry to play.

The Southern Huns rebels are naturally best at fighting immediately. Although the 200 men led by Xiang Yu are also [-] elites selected from the [-] cavalry he trained, they are too young and have little combat experience. Almost none, it is undoubtedly difficult to take advantage of the Huns fighting on horseback in the desert and grassland, the land where the Huns have lived for generations.

That's why Xiang Yu thought that if the cavalry of the Southern Huns rebels could be lured into an area with limited space, it would be difficult for the cavalry to give full play to their mobility and impact advantages in that tight environment. The infantry surrounded the enemy's cavalry from all sides, and then cooperated with the bow and crossbow to continuously kill and consume the enemy's vital strength at high altitudes.

The cavalry of these Southern Huns rebels became live targets immediately. No matter whether the arrows were directly shot at the horse or the soldiers on the horse, it was equivalent to directly destroying a cavalry of the Southern Huns rebels. Under the trampling of other war horses around each other, the soldiers on the ground might even lose their bodies.

"Follow me and charge together!" Xiang Yu roared, jumped on the good horse under his crotch, raised his thunder gun, and rushed out in the lead. Behind him was a cavalry team of about twenty people. It was a sharp knife that went straight to the enemy's flank from the side.

"What ambush! Don't disturb the morale of the army, kill me!" The leader of the Southern Huns rebel army also shouted, and continued to rush towards the depths of Xiang Yu's camp with his cavalry. As a result, many cavalry were killed early. The repelling horses and lassoes that were already on their way forward were blocked and tripped, and then the soldiers in Xiang Yu's camp rushed out of the tents armed with spears and fully armed.

Looking at the sharp iron nails on the ground again, the horses screamed in pain when they stepped on them, and many cavalrymen on their backs fell down heavily. a disadvantage.

Some Southern Huns rebel cavalry took out crossbow arrows and shot around, but it was almost impossible to aim in the dark, and Xiang Yu's troops ambushing around were equipped with large shields, spears, horses, and crossbows.

At the beginning, these Southern Huns rebel cavalry really didn't realize that they had rushed into the ambush circle. With a burst of blood and courage, they tried to wipe out Xiang Yu's troops in the camp in one fell swoop while taking advantage of the darkness.

They didn't just pick an opportunity to launch an attack. You must know that these Southern Huns rebels have been looking for opportunities during this period of time. The three previous feints and repeated investigations by scouts were all to ensure that the First World War Completely defeated the army led by Xiang Yu.

However, these plans of theirs are completely insignificant in the eyes of Xiang Yu, who is extremely experienced in combat. It is like being able to see the points directly when they lose the dice. Xiang Yu can completely guess what they will do next A few steps or even all the steps, in this case Xiang Yu simply resorted to tricks.

The soldiers he led were very young, but their weapons and equipment were quite good. The rebels of the Southern Huns naturally discovered this soon after investigation. It was very important that they did not fight head-on with Xiang Yu's troops at the beginning. The reason is that the weapons and equipment of these Southern Huns rebels are not considered good, and they do not have an advantage in combat numbers.

Their main advantage is that the place of battle is the desert grassland they are familiar with, and Xiang Yu is the attacker and they are the defenders. They can try to take the initiative in the battle on the territory they are familiar with, and they have indeed done so. Everything done from beginning to end is to fully grasp the initiative in combat.

That night, Xiang Yu's troops with a total of ten cavalry directly rushed into one of the camps of the Southern Huns rebels at night. Although they were killed by surprise, after all, the number of troops led by Xiang Yu was limited. Actual damage is also limited.

And this night attack also just provided these southern Huns rebels with an excellent reference answer. Their feint attack for a while was to prepare for this final night attack, but they certainly did not expect that all of this was in Xiang Yu's expectation Among them, the night attack carefully planned by him has become a self-inflicted trap in a sense.

At this time, the Southern Huns rebel cavalry didn't know that they had entered the ambush circle. Even if there were a few smarter ones who discovered this, their words would be regarded as disturbing the morale of the army, so I have to say a few more words Maybe he might get stabbed in the back by his comrades in arms.

Some of the cavalry rushing to the front were blocked, and they found that they could not rush at all, while the cavalry behind them were still rushing forward, so some unlucky guys were cheated by the teammates who came behind.
