Chapter 144 General Reserve Team
Chen Kefu stood above the mountains, and his mind was constantly calculating.
At present, he had three choices. First, the reserve team dispatched to directly attack the front cavalry in the west of the Liao people. The cavalry were at the end of their strength and had no momentum. He believed that as long as he brought more than 20,000 people from the reserve team to surround them from the east and counterattack their rear formation, the 5,000 cavalry of the Liao people would end their mission ahead of schedule. After the reserve team met with Mao Yi, there were more than 35,000 soldiers, and there was no problem in taking down the Liao people's cavalry that had been attacking for a long time.
As long as the Liao people's front army is captured, the momentum of his own side will inevitably rise greatly, and the morale of the Liao people's central army will also decline greatly. After all, this battle has been fought for several hours, and he is actually not very relieved about the Liaodong army, which is mostly recruits in the army. He could have been in a panic and rushing hard with a passionate and bloody battle. If the battle formation is in a stalemate, then no one can be sure that the first one to collapse will be Goguryeo's central army or Chen Kefu's Northeast Army recruits.
By taking down the front army, you can turn more than 30,000 troops and horses into besieging the Goguryeo Central Army. It can be said that this is a good plan.
But what Chen Kefu hesitated now was that he would not be able to seize 5,000 former Goguryeo cavalry, which would be possible in a short while. Maybe it would be impossible to fight for several hours, so there would be any changes in the middle. At that time, all his reserves would be released, and it would be difficult to have any other way.
The second option is to dispatch the entire army and go straight to the Goguryeo Central Army. At that time, they will be able to form superior forces against the Liao people's central army. At present, the Liao people's central army is shaking, and there are a large number of young and strong tribes there. I am very sure that once they attack, the Liao people's central army will collapse. Once the central army is broken, the entire Liao people's entire army will be broken. The Qing and strong army that has lost its formation command will not have much combat effectiveness except for counter-effects to the Liao people.
But this was just his prediction and was not 100% sure. If Yuan Taizuo still had any backup plans, the two main forces were completely stalemate, and this was not what he wanted to see.
The last choice is to transfer 10,000 people from the reserve team, jointly attack the Liao people's central army, and leave more than 10,000 people as the final reserve team just in case.
Chen Kefu turned around and looked around. Although there were more than 20,000 troops around him, the highest officer was just the regiment level. All officers above the brigade generals have been transferred to the following three troops to serve as commanders. He wanted to discuss it with someone, but there was no way.
For such a battle, he understood that sometimes victory or defeat was between the front line, and no one could win by saying that, and who would lose. Only now did he truly understand how far there was between a fierce general who fought and rushed and a general who was commanding the battle formation. If he was fighting under him now, he would not hesitate.
But now he held a soldier in his hand, hesitating at what time to put the troops on the battlefield. On the battlefield, the fighter planes were fleeting, not early or late, which tested a general's accurate vision, accurate judgment, and ability to make decisions.
Chen Kefu said to a personal soldier behind him, "Do you think we should attack now?"
The personal soldiers were selected from the people's bravery after being reorganized. They were big and thick and bearded. At this time, when the general asked him, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, let's beat him up. Brothers are fighting so vigorously. It's so uncomfortable to just look at it."
Chen Kefu stood there, looking at the battlefield below. Every minute and every second, there were people dying, war horses, spears, and bloody men. For the first time, he found that he could be so calm about this bleeding battlefield.
"Then which side should we fight?" Chen Kefu looked at the battlefield and said lightly, as if he was asking the personal soldier, as if he was talking to himself.
The personal soldier lowered his head, not knowing whether Chen Kefu asked him at this time, and said loudly, "Master, of course, is fighting against the side with a large number of people. There are the most Liao people in the middle, so we should fight there. Once the Liao people are defeated, the others will naturally be defeated."
Chen Kefu nodded, as if he had finally made up his mind to fix the Mingguang armor on his body, and took his horse spear from the personal guards beside him. He said to the personal guards on the ground, "You go and convey my command to General Mao Yi in the west, and say that I will lead the reserve team to attack the Liao people's central army first. Let him insist on holding on, not asking them to destroy the Liao people's cavalry, but only requiring him to at least hold back the 5,000 cavalry of the Liao people's front army before the main force decides the victory and defeat, so that they can't let them get close to the central army battlefield!"
He turned around and said to the other guards beside him, "I informed General Liu Tiezhu of the Central Army to not stop. Continue to maintain the offensive in front of him, don't care about anything else, just keep the entire army pressing forward and rushing straight to the Liao people's central army. The general immediately led a reserve team of 20,000 troops to help him. Before sunset, he must defeat the Liao people's central army."
"In addition, go to General Li Benlei of the rear army to pass an order, telling them that the Liao people's rear army has completely lost command. Now I ask them to send a single army to block the exit of the eastern canyon, and the rest of the cavalry attack the Liao people's central army with all their might. Tell them that this commander has seen their courage when they beheaded the Liao people's rear army, and I hope to see the glorious moment when they beheaded the Liao people's central army's central army!"
"All the messengers, inform me of all the battalion commanders of the reserve team. The entire reserve team will be dispatched to target the Liao people's central army! Before sunset, I demanded the end of this ambush!" The powerful voice was full of confidence and domineering. Chen Kefu turned over and rode the green horse, pointed at the Liao people's central army, "Strike!"
The reserve team of 20,000 infantry and cavalry went down the mountain from the Beiling Mountains, and the sound of horse hooves and the sound of footsteps of infantry continued to spread. The entire army completely maintained its charge formation and was starting to charge, accelerating towards the Liao people's central army. Between the autumn wind and fallen leaves, flags fluttered side by side, and the largest black battle flag with the largest pole fluttered in the wind. There were two golden Pojun embroidered on it, and a large Chen character embroidered on a small battle flag next to it.
"Report to the commander, the Sui army's troops standing on the Beiling have been dispatched, with a total of about 20,000 infantry and cavalry, and the target is directly aimed at our central army front."
"I saw that not only did the troops that had not moved on the Beiling of the Sui army, but also the Sui cavalry of the rear army also left behind our rear army and came straight for us. It seems that the Sui army commander made up his mind and planned to break the formation of our central army directly."
Yuan Taizuo said with a bit of gritting his teeth. The Sui general on the opposite side was definitely a wise general, and he had a very good grasp of the battlefield situation. He kept the situation on both sides of the east and the west, and he was just staring at the central army in a daze. The Sui general wanted to solve their troops as quickly as possible, and not give them a chance to breathe. The current situation in the central army was unstable, which was indeed a rare good opportunity.
Yuan Taizuo said to the commemorative army with a dark face, "Go and pass the command to General Yuan Pure Land of the Front Army immediately, telling them not to care about the Sui people in the west anymore, and let them immediately take the former cavalry and move closer to the central army, be sure to be fast."
"Tell him the retreating General Yuangai Tong, who immediately returned to the rear army, and make sure that he must gather the defeated troops of the rear army, and then immediately move to the left wing of the central army to guard the left wing of the army."
After the two orders were passed down, Yuan Taizuo was also a little unsatisfied. But now the situation is critical, so he had to kill the horse in front of a living horse.
Under the general flag, many generals of the central army and lords of various tribes were panicked. The Sui army's offensive was so brave and the front and back roads were cut off. They couldn't even run away. When they thought about the possibility of dying, they all turned pale and their eyes were full of despair.
"General, the front line in front of the central army is no longer stable. Once the Sui army's Beiling unit joins, the front line is likely to collapse." A general said worriedly.
"Sir, there are tens of thousands of vicious infantry of the Sui army in front of this, the Sui cavalry constantly rushing towards the left, and another Sui army's new force joined the right. The soldiers and men have been fighting for several hours, and now they are all trapped and they can't stand it. General, let's retreat!"
Retreat, where to retreat? The Sui army was in front and behind, and it could not be retreated to the sky. Yuan Taizuo glared at the tribe lord who was shouting that he wanted to retreat.
The lord was glared at, and had no intention of stopping it. He continued, "The situation in front of him clearly shows that the information given to us by King Rongliu is wrong. We have been fooled by the Sui people. At least there are 100,000 elite Sui troops in front of him, so we cannot win. And most importantly, the Sui army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack me, Goguryeo, but there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Maybe it won't take long before the Sui people arrives, and we will be unable to fly. Let's break through before the Sui army has not arrived yet. If we can't fight hard, we can still break through with all our strength. No matter what, it is better than dying here."
For these lords, no one is willing to die here in battle. Even if all the private soldiers and slaves who followed him die, as long as they can run back, that's fine.
"Breakthrough? There are Sui soldiers in front and behind. Where can we break through? Besides, the canyons on both sides of the east and west were blocked by Sui soldiers. How can we get out tens of thousands of people?"
"Master, abandon the soldiers and protect the car!"
Several tribal lords and mountain city lords all said in unison. For the sake of life, everyone can be said to have an instant increase in their IQ.
