Chapter 596 Timely

Wu Kai firmly believed in his own judgment. He never believed that the barbarians could play any tricks of encircling and attacking reinforcements at the position of the first-line military station in Jianchuan. Now they are attacking from the front and surrounding them from the back at the same time. These are just pretense and scaring people. If not, why is the right wing empty? Isn't it just to leave a window for people to escape.

In Wu Kai's eyes, this little trick really seemed a little naive.

Moreover, the Lingzhen has now resisted the initial impact, and the structure is stable. The soldiers can just do what they did during training. Wu Kai has absolute confidence that he can resist and even kill a large number of enemies before there are major changes. .

Now this battlefield is extremely beneficial to Wu Kai. In front is the Yushi Military Station. Although the flames are soaring, it will definitely not be taken down. Otherwise, the barbarians surrounding at this time will definitely not be the only ones in front of them.

In addition, although the main formation of the Chinese army is still far behind, General Li Shen's troops are already very close, and he has already responded in advance.

Came up from behind in a pincer formation? Wu Kai couldn't help sneering in his heart, it seemed that General Li Shen was not going to leave a way for the stuck barbarians behind.

"Order the flag! Replace the front-line spearmen and enter the rotation in advance!"

After the initial impact was withstood, and the monks behind started to find the monks on the opposite side, from the perspective of the battle formation, it had stabilized. Wu Kai made the soldiers who were hard-pressed to retreat in advance in order to save energy and distribute the consumption to as many soldiers as possible. What if there is still a war to be fought later?

After half a stick of incense time passed, Wu Kai frowned slightly as he rode on the horse, because he found that after he ordered the rotation of the spearmen just now, the barbarians on the opposite side did not seize the gap of the substitution and stormed. On the contrary, they behaved far less fiercely than before .

Is this trying to get away?

"It's interesting, it's a little clever." Wu Kai suddenly understood another intention of the opponent's flanking him back and forth.

"The command flag, all have it, the front army has changed to the rear army! Cooperate with Li Shen's troops to concentrate and annihilate the enemy that can be flanked!"

Once the diamond formation is compact, it is not suitable for midway changes, which will lead to the possibility of loosening the battle formation. As a last resort, once the diamond formation is formed, it will not change easily. However, the exchange of front and rear armies is very simple, and it does not affect the structure of the battle formation, but only indicates a change in the direction of attack.

In other words, compared to before, Wu Kai changed the main attack direction of the battle formation.

When the opponent wants to run, when one's own side takes the initiative, it is natural to want to stick to the opponent and not let him get away easily. Due to the relationship between the Ke Ling formation, Wu Kai can only choose one side from the front and back as the main direction of attack in the future.

Compared with the front, he chose the back where General Li Shen would outflank and form an encirclement.

"Woo, woo."

The horn sounded from the rear, and Li Shen's troops arrived. At this time, the barbarians who were fiercely culled before began to retreat obviously. The front line before became the rear army, so they didn't stick together, but the barbarians who wanted to outflank Wu Kai and turned around from the left side were killed. It's hard to move in place.

Compared with the part of the barbarians who had already begun to retreat, these barbarians who were stuck and unable to move seemed to be dying and struggling. They counterattacked very hard, and even some barbarian monks showed up directly, regardless of the surrounding Jingying Mansion monks. The interception went directly to the soldiers in the Ling formation, knowing that they couldn't run away, they wanted to give it a try to see if they could help their soldiers escape.

However, when a pincer-shaped battle formation pressed up from behind and quickly pinched the barbarians, the situation was calm again. Crazy in front of a hard spear does not make the person holding the gun feel scared, on the contrary it will only speed up the slaughter.

Moreover, General Li's purpose is obviously more thoughtful than Wu Kai's. After the pincer formation pincers attacked the barbarians trapped behind, a team of troops from the right wing went around the right and reversed to envelop the retreating barbarians, presumably trying to hold them back again.

This has little to do with Wu Kai. Because after Li Shen's troops came up, he received an order to cooperate with the pincer battle formation to wipe out the encircled enemies. He didn't have the energy to participate in things like the chase from behind.

After an incense stick of time, Wu Kai ordered half of the formation to disperse, forming skirmishers to deploy defenses on the outside, and kept a small diamond formation inside just in case.

Wu Kai went to see General Li to report on the situation of the battle, and the rest of the soldiers rested where they were, while leaving some alive as tongues, and then the rest were killed.

In the eyes of the army, it is not yet time to take away barbarian slaves. Now only dead barbarians are good barbarians, captives? what is that?

At this time, the main formation of the Chinese army has also appeared in the distance. Seeing the signal, he commanded the soldiers of the third route to rush to the Yushi Bing Station for help.

Li Shenjiang was very happy to take the time to meet Wu Kai, and he did not hesitate to express his appreciation.

"Now the right-wing vanguard battalion has not encountered obstacles like yours. It has already rushed to the Yushi soldier station to participate in the rescue. Our department will follow up and take the opportunity to chase for a while. You performed very well this time, the commander-in-chief is here. The reward said that you won the first battle in this first battle, and it will be recorded in the honor book according to the facts. You will report the merits of the soldiers under your command, and I will step up to register for you.

That's enough, don't be too polite, just trim it up, and then come up and join me. "

Before leaving, Li Shen patted Wu Kai's arm vigorously, with a kind smile on his face, very satisfied with Wu Kai's excellent performance in this encounter.

First of all, don't be afraid of the enemy. After encountering the enemy, the first reaction is to form an formation to meet the enemy. There is no weakness in the momentum of the first battle of the mixed army. It also gave the soldiers behind a good start and raised their prestige.

Secondly, in the following battles, Wu Kai took the initiative throughout the whole process and did not rashly take aggressive counterattacks. Instead, he used the diamond formation with both offensive and defensive capabilities and successfully judged the battlefield trend to choose the front and rear army swaps to successfully hold back and cooperate with the backup to wipe out a large number of barbarians.

Generally speaking, the credit for winning the first match is not small, and Wu Kai is very satisfied. At the same time, he also knew not to be too greedy. There are so many people in the army, and their heads, big and small, are now pinned to their waistbands to earn their lives for killing the enemy and earning meritorious service. He, Wu Kai, was lucky, and he won the first battle, so he had to stop in moderation, otherwise no one would like him.

But war is not a good thing in the final analysis, it will kill people. It is a kind of competition, the side that dies less wins, or the side that can afford to die wins.

But who died? This is not a pleasant topic. Therefore, the smile on Wu Kai's face was only kept for a very short moment, and then he was weighed down by the casualties reported by the adjutant.

"My lord, seventy-eight people were killed, sixteen people were seriously injured, and there are currently three hundred and nineteen people with minor injuries."

This casualty is not low. You must know that it was only less than an hour ago. And many of the people who died in the battle were monks who acted as blades in the formation, which would have an impact on many future battle formation deployments.

"Collect the corpses, deal with the wounded, and the rest of the people fix it on the spot."
