From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 409

After a victory, Yue Fei actually doubted whether his strategy could win.

There is no other reason, the loss is too great!

With more than 20,000 Yue Family Army veterans in exchange for more than 20,000 Shazhou Army cannon fodder, plus less than 3,000 elite Ming troops, this transaction is definitely a loss in Yue Fei’s eyes!

Because Yue Fei didn’t treat the Shazhou Army as his opponent at all!

In fact, the performance of the Shazhou Army on the battlefield was indeed not good, and even made Richard make a wrong judgment.

Obviously possessing the advantages of cavalry and absolute firepower, the Parker and cavalry artillery slaughtered the Yue family’s army, which was only equipped with broadswords, spears and arquebuses. The rapid and mobile firepower output of the dragoons’ flanks even defeated the Yue family’s charge several times. But even so, the Shazhou Army was still collapsing under the Yuejia Army’s offensive!

Even if the morale of the Shazhou Army reached the standard of an ordinary regular army in the Cold Weapon Era, it would not be such a fiasco!

But things had happened, and it was useless for Richard to be upset, so he had to send out the main force of the general reserve team to block the Yuejia army, who had only 30,000 left.

Of course, this Yue family army once again played mobile tactics and resolutely did not engage in the main battle with the Ming army.

Of course, this will not be able to break through the Ming army’s blockade. After all, Richard holds the control of the battlefield vision, so it is impossible for so many Yue family troops to penetrate the Ming army from under his nose.

This is the great advantage of cavalry in the war of this era, and it is also the reason why farming civilization can only passively defend and attack the nomadic army when there is no strong cavalry force in the cold weapon era.

Becoming a blind man in a mobile warfare in the wild, almost fell into the state of being passively beaten, and even a lone army can’t do it deep, because an enemy with a battlefield vision can easily cut off a lone army’s back path and carry out an encirclement and annihilation battle.

You can even preset the ambush circle based on the opponent’s marching trajectory!

In fact, the 30,000 Yue family army will soon be overtaken by the main force of the Ming army. Richard is in full control of the whereabouts of the Yue family army, but the Yue family army cannot immediately obtain the route of the main movement of the Ming army. Sooner or later, the two sides will run into the field. .

But this all takes time, and Yue Fei is fighting for this time!

After learning that the Ming Army’s general reserve team had left the original defense line, Yue Fei finally released his big move. Yue Fei’s personally led the main force of the Beiwei Army infantry with a total of 20,000 people set off to attack the empty defense line of the Ming Army.

Then he easily took down the Ming army’s defense line without system soldiers garrisoned, and rushed all the way to the Ming army’s rear!

The dispatch of the Beiwei army completely disrupted the entire battlefield, but fortunately, Richard was prepared!

After the main force of the Beiwei infantry led by Yue Fei entered the flat zone, it was not surprisingly intercepted by the fast-moving Lancers and Dragoons plus cavalry artillery.

Yue Fei knew that this was inevitable. Who told the Ming army to have the advantage of cavalry?

The Ming Army’s defense line was so large that the Yue Jiajun could not cross the blockade in a short time.

The infantry of the Ming army could not come back, but the cavalry could.

At the same time, the cavalry artillery that can keep up with the cavalry can also be arranged in advance.

A gun has more than a dozen horse-drawn pulls, coupled with its own lightweight design at the expense of part of the range, so that the cavalry gun can barely follow the cavalry for mobile operations.

Although not as fast as the cavalry marching alone, but at least not marching faster than the infantry.

In addition, the system soldiers have no complaints and no regrets, and the highly disciplined marching efficiency, so they are blocked in front of the Beiwei army.

Therefore, in front of Yue Fei’s 20,000-back Wei army infantry are more than 7,000 cavalry and 30 cavalry guns with limited ammunition.

Yue Fei felt that he could win!

The cavalry artillery only carries a base of ammunition for rapid maneuverability. It will be misfired after a few rounds of volleys in a real battle. As for the more than 7000 cavalry, with the elite level of the Wei army infantry, forming a hard formation can completely resist the impact of the Lancers. .

At least Yue Fei and Beiwei Army pawns thought so!

They are the best infantry in the Southern Song Dynasty. If even the Beiwei Army can’t withstand the impact of the Ming Lancers, the entire Southern Song Dynasty will not be able to find a second infantry that can block the Ming Army’s elite cavalry!

That’s a fart!

Yue Fei’s confidence in Beiwei Jun was built on countless battles.

In the cavalry artillery fire, the encounter between the two sides officially broke out.

Yue Fei wouldn’t fight a cavalry unit. It was to compare his own shortcomings with the enemy’s strengths. So after discovering the cavalry and cavalry artillery of the Ming Army brigade, he rushed directly towards the enemy cavalry artillery.

And these systems Mingjun also received strict orders from Richard-destroy the Beiweijun at all costs!

It’s better to kill or capture Yue Fei!

As long as Yue Fei died, the Yue Family Army’s spiritual support would fall. The reason why Yue Family Army’s morale was so high was largely due to the personal charm of Yue Fei.

The personal charm here does not naturally refer to the value of the face, but the trust of the soldiers established by Yue Fei who commanded the Yue family’s army in the war. For the soldiers, Yue Fei is the object of their admiration~www.mtlnovel.com~ is a kind of faith!

It can also be regarded as a disguised personality cult.

The cult of personality was very popular in the cold weapon feudal era. Soldiers had the most contact with the generals instead of the emperors who were far away in the court. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers mainly depends on the personal abilities of the generals.

This is also the reason why ancient wars paid more attention to the effect of famous generals.

In modern warfare, the multi-person staff system played a far greater role than a single celebrity general, and the celebrity effect naturally declined.

Like the famous allied generals in World War II in the history of the earth, they were all piled up on generous resources and strength, as well as the staff behind them. If the generals are arranged by themselves, a lot of tedious things in the army can make him collapse. !

After all, few people can become a military genius like Napoleon, and even a military genius like Napoleon has something wrong. The staff system is a military command system with extremely high fault tolerance.

Just like the current Yue Fei, he mistakenly underestimated the combat effectiveness of Li Cha’s core Ming army.

Because the newly-appearing system soldiers will not disappear after death, outsiders think that this is not Richard’s Dao soldiers. Most people think that Richard’s Dao soldiers have been exhausted in previous wars.

This is the effect of traditional inertial thinking. Everyone is accustomed to the characteristics of Richard’s disappearance after death. Of course, the systematic soldiers who did not disappear after death are regarded as ordinary human soldiers.

At the most, it means better equipped, and morale higher when fighting.

Fighting to the last day is not a patent for system soldiers!

Therefore, Yue Fei, who had an absolute advantage in force, took the initiative to attack!

And attacked the artillery position at the beginning!

After being bullied by Richard’s’high-tech’ army for so long, Yue Fei knew that the core of the Ming army’s firepower was these artillery.
