Those stupid and suffocating maneuvers in the history of warfare?
In 1134 AD, in May of the fourth year of Shaoxing, the famous general Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty made the first northern expedition, when the Jin army had retreated to the north, and then they established a puppet regime in the Central Plains, that is, Liu Yu's puppet Qi!
Liu Yu, a dog-legged man, learned that the Southern Song Dynasty was coming to fight him, so he first sent someone to ask Jin Guo for help, and then sent his most capable puppet general Li Cheng to lead the army to resist.
As a result, Li Cheng's commotion directly made the Song Army Operations Department on the opposite side laugh off his big teeth, and Li Cheng ordered that the cavalry should be the left flank and the left neighbor Xiangjiang; With the infantry as the right flank, they lined up on the plain.
Yue Fei was stunned, how could there be such a formation? The cavalry battle needs space, which can advance or retreat, but as a result, there is Xiangjiang in the back and the Song army in front, isn't this equivalent to blocking yourself to death? As for the infantry thrown on the plain, there is no danger to defend, and it will be scrapped after being rushed back and forth by the cavalry!
Yue Fei and all the generals were laughed at by Li Cheng, and then ordered Wang Gui to lead the pikemen to fight Li Cheng's cavalry, Niu Gao led the cavalry to fight Li Cheng's infantry, the puppet Qi army was defeated, the cavalry was pushed flat into the Xiangjiang River, countless casualties were killed, the infantry was beaten even worse, Li Cheng fled into Xiangyang and never dared to fight with the Song army again!
