Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty - #4911 - Vol 4 Chapter 4568: Counterattack against the enemy and destroy the attacking tool

Everyone’s expressions were solemn. From Liu Daogui’s impassioned and powerful words, they could hear the difficulty of this battle, and they could also hear Liu Daogui’s determination. Their blood was boiling just now, and they wanted to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop. Their enthusiasm became more and more intense. The ground calmed down, and Tan Zhi laughed loudly: “Brother Daogui, don’t worry, all the soldiers in the Wuling Army, whether it is Brother Dongman or myself, are all prepared to die, and everyone will be under your protection.” Under military orders, we will fight until the last moment and never retreat. Don’t worry.”

Liu Daogui nodded with satisfaction: “I have never doubted the fighting ability of Ah Ji’s troops, let alone your fighting will. Dongman brothers, all of them are good, and they are also the most suitable in the entire army to serve as forwards against demon thieves. As for the attacking troops, I will pay close attention to the fighting situation of the forwards here. I will never let them die alone, including the troops in the front. After completing the combat mission, I will let you rotate and retreat, but before I call the gold medal, even if Even if you die, you have to die in a fighting position. The injuries you receive can only be from the front facing the enemy, never from the back. Everyone must be prepared for this!”

All the generals said solemnly: “Fight to the end, life or death!”

Liu Daogui looked at Tan Zhi and said: “With these four thousand men and horses of yours, I will also give you Luo Huainan’s garrison of five hundred horse heads. The Dongman soldiers will be in front. When the enemy attacks, don’t use your bows first.” Crossbow shooting is to expose our strength. As long as we are about a hundred steps away from the enemy, we will start to launch a counterattack and form a melee with the demon thief’s front army. The demon thief’s fighting style must be mainly to deal with our heavy infantry. We If you just come up and counterattack with light troops, you will be surprised.”

Tan Zhi nodded: “What if the demon thief directly dispatches the ghost soldiers and attacks when approaching our army?”

Liu Daogui shook his head: “Ghost soldiers and immortal monsters are double-edged swords. They kill everyone on sight regardless of whether they are friends or foes. Unless all the troops they charge take medicine and then turn into these monsters after they die in battle, otherwise they will be used rashly.” We will annihilate our own troops first. Of course, we must also guard against their move. Once the enemy’s losses are almost complete or they retreat, do not behead the enemy’s troops but evacuate quickly. If you find an immortal monster appearing among the enemy corpses, you must quickly burn them to prevent them from getting close to our army.”

Yanzhi blinked his eyes: “Brother Daogui, if according to you, the enemy’s first wave of attack is the most ferocious and fierce, can it really be blocked by more than a thousand Dongmen soldiers? Is it necessary? How about adding some heavy-armed jumping sergeants as backup, or if we are unfavorable in the battle, should we send follow-up troops to respond?”

Liu Daogui sighed: “I said that the enemy’s first wave of attacks should be prepared to attack our heavy armor, large shields, and iron armored phalanx with long bows and crossbows. You said, if you were Xu Daofu instead, How would he attack such a phalanx?”

Yanzhi pondered for a moment and said: “To break through the heavy armor square formation, there are only a few ways. Either attack from the flanks or from behind, avoid the frontal gun array, and switch to close combat, or use fire attacks to burn us. The sergeants will either use crossbows or war machines such as wooden armored mechs to get close, and use crossbows directly from the front to open a passage. In short, we must find a way to use our heavy armor phalanx. It lacks mobility and is difficult to use in close combat, so try to disrupt our formation as much as possible.”

Tan Daoji continued: “I would like to add that the demon thieves may also attack our phalanx through air attacks, such as Kongming lanterns or catapults. When attacking, they will also release smoke and make noise everywhere. To cover up the direction of its attack, this is what we must pay attention to.”

Liu Daogui laughed: “We have really fought against the demon thieves for many years. We all know their fighting methods clearly. Yes, the demon thieves will try their best to attack from our flanks instead of from the front. The reason why I want to fight on the Qingping Plain because the front here is wide enough. We can put down enough heavy armored phalanxes. The vanguard is in front, and the left and right armies are slightly behind them by about a hundred steps. There is no need to use a first-line phalanx. Instead of unfolding the two wings diagonally forward, forming a crane wing formation, the enemy cannot outflank our army’s flanks. Once they get around to the side, the rear team can use their bows and crossbows to launch a salvo and then launch an assault. Rout.”

Tan Zhi smiled and said: “Yes, yes, the Crane Wing Formation is the best formation to break the enemy’s outflanking. However, the Crane Wing Formation is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to deploy the formations to rescue each other. We need to rely on The Crane Wing Formation is here to delay time, and the losses of the front team are exchanged for the enemy’s vigor?”

Liu Daogui nodded: “The weakness of the Crane Wing Formation still lies in its mobility. Although it can solve the problem of outflanking, if the enemy is allowed to approach, cover its fire attack with wooden armored mechas or running bulls. If a powerful crossbow like a crossbow were to directly shoot our phalanx at close range, it would cause heavy losses, which is why we must use light soldiers to carry out the first wave of counterattack.”

Tan Zhi said sternly: “I understand, that is to say, the Dongman soldiers, UU Reading www.uukｎｓ.comｍ need to ambush behind the shield formation to prevent the enemy from seeing the reality. Wait until the enemy is at a distance of about a hundred steps, away from When we are twenty or thirty steps away from the close range shooting, we can suddenly attack and disrupt the enemy’s plan, right?”

Liu Daogui said sternly: “Yes, their first wave of ferocious attack was to break our shield formation. After thinking about it, the demon thieves lack a large number of bows and crossbows, so it is unlikely that they can fight with us, and we will They came out in a hurry and didn’t bring too many arrows, so they had to use them sparingly. If they could knock out a large number of their array-breaking wooden armor mechanisms in the first wave of counterattack, then the demon thieves would have no choice but to take them head-on. Life is at stake.”

Tan Zhi laughed: “I understand, if they really bring some wooden armored mechas to attack the formation, after we succeed in counterattack, we will burn all these things, right? The Dongman soldiers will have to carry them with them. Fire starter, isn’t it?”

Liu Daogui shook his head: “Don’t put too many unnecessary burdens on the fighting brothers, which will affect their fighting. Luo Huainan’s sergeants can do this specifically, and let them prepare fire starters and kerosene jars. If they are hit, When the enemy’s offensive equipment is near, rush out of the formation and burn it. Hongzhi, your cavalry should also be ready at any time and place it on the wings of the front army and behind the formation. According to my order, if I ask you to attack , you must coordinate the Dongman brothers’ retreat as quickly as possible.”
