Tight formation, defending instead of attacking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is Li Qin's method.

Under this tactic, how to ensure that the soldiers in the front drive are not cut off by the Xiaoguo army, and they are divided on the streets has become the top priority.

In trust, Li Qin handed over the task of ensuring the rear road of the soldiers to Su Dingfang, and asked him to command the cavalry to guard the rear road of his own team.

"Don't let those guys on the other side intercept our back road, it's a guarantee of our victory!" Li Qin told Su Dingfang this.

"Yes!" Su Dingfang understood that Li Qin was worried, and he patted his chest vigorously to show his understanding.

Su Dingfang calmly led the team to the battlefield.

Not long after he left, the thunderous sound of cannons and gunshots like fried beans rang out one after another, boiling the entire east side of Jiangdu City.

One after another, various military reports were summarized in front of Li Qin:

"Mingyu Street was attacked by the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, there are about a thousand of them, and there are no archers!"

"Wenjin Street was attacked by a thousand soldiers and horses of the Xiaoguo Army, and they came from Anningfang."

"Suzaku Street encounters an enemy, and there are a thousand enemies!"

"Pingshanfang encountered the enemy, and two artillery pieces were destroyed......"

"Kamikurabo ......"

"Anning Fang ......"

……

Looking at the constantly reported military information, Li Qin's eyes suddenly widened: "The six main streets have encountered the enemy, and some have even been attacked by the Xiaoguo army from the side...... Yuwen Chengdu, is this going to an all-out war with me? Relying on familiarity with the terrain and the strength of the army to target me is indeed a good way. ”

The enemy has made a move!

They played to their strengths and dealt a blow to Li Qin. Although their offensive did not achieve much success in the face of Li Qin's tight fire defense, Li Qin was deeply saddened by the casualties caused to Li Qin in certain areas, especially the damage to several artillery pieces.

"They used about 10,000 troops...... And our soldiers and horses in front, even with Su Dingfang's 5,000 cavalry, are only a mere 8,000. This is a bit of a big gap in strength. Li Qin didn't know that Yuwen Zhiji's 5,000 archers had already joined the battlefield, he only judged on the comparison of Yuwen Chengdu's strength with his own, and he felt that he should send some more troops to the front.

"Let the second battalion of Dangtu Town and the first and third battalions of Saddle Garrison Town go up for reinforcements! I think with the support of these 4,000 people, the battle ahead should be much more stable. Li Chin made a quick decision.

"But in this case, the guards on your side will not be enough."

Shen Luoyan reminded Li Qin:

"After excluding the second battalion of Dangtu Town, the first and third battalions of Saddle Garrison Town, there are only the first battalion of Shenji Town, the third battalion of Dangtu Town, the second and fourth battalions of Saddle Garrison Town, plus some artillery...... There are only 5,000 people in total, which is too little. ”

Shen Luoyan thought about it and suggested to Li Qin: "Do you transfer the fourth battalion of Dantu Town and the fifth battalion of Saddle Garrison Town back?" In my opinion, my lord, you must have at least seven or eight thousand people around you to ensure safety. ”

"What's so troublesome! This place is completely under our control! Do I need to be so careful? Li Qin shook his head: "When you say that, I don't think that there are too few troops around me, but too many." Since Yuwen Chengdu wants to outflank us, why don't we outflank us! From Xingye Street to Yuyuanfang...... We just sent a group of men and horses to attack the back road of Yuwen Chengdu. Luoyan, I hope you are responsible for this route! ”

"Me?" Shen Luoyan was stunned for a moment, "Is this feasible?" ”

"Why not? Don't you have that self-confidence? Li Qin raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise.

"Aren't you afraid of criticism?" Shen Luoyan asked again.

"What's the criticism? Say you're a woman? So what does it matter? I only care about whether you can fight or not, and I don't want to do it if you're a woman. ”

Li Qin shook his head, and then ordered in detail:

"Hurry up! Bring the third battalion of Dangtu Town and the second battalion of Saddle Garrison Town, and give Yuwen Chengdu a little bit. If you can...... It's better to take Miyagi down for me. Since the Yuwen Valve has gathered such troops, their defense in Miyagi must be weak. I think that's where we can start. ”

"If I have the chance, I will never let it go. However, whether or not to take Miyagi, I want to have the right to be independent. Shen Luoyan's beautiful eyes widened, and she smiled and asked Li Qin for authorization.

"Everything is as you wish!" Li Qin nodded and agreed.

In the absence of equipment to be able to contact front-line equipment in a timely manner, it is the most correct thing to entrust the affairs of the battlefield to reliable generals and trust them.

Will be subject to the king's life outside!

This sentence is the truth of Sun Tzu's famous saying in the Art of War.

Shen Luoyan left with a gust of fragrant wind. With her departure, the soldiers around Li Qin suddenly disappeared. Li Qin thought about it for a while and ordered all kinds of heavy weapons, such as platoon guns, to be equipped with the muzzles facing backwards and marching to arm.

"Why?" The lieutenants under Li Qin were very puzzled.

"Just in case. I don't think it's going to happen, but you have to take precautions. If the enemy is coming from the west or north, it means that the front army has been routed, and even if we aim our guns at the front, it will be useless. But if the enemy were to kill us from behind, then our actions now could probably save our lives. Li Qin explained with a smile.

Li Qin was not impatient with the doubts raised by his generals, nor did he say forcefully that this is my order and you must obey it. Li Qin knew that the military academies under his command were all fledgling generals, and they had no reputation in history, so Li Qin hired them, so he naturally wanted to further train them and let them grow.

"I see!" Knowing the lord's plan, his soldiers did not have any doubts and acted quickly.

They thought it was really just just in case, but what happened after that made everyone rejoice in Li Qin's foresight.

Of course, Li Qin didn't think so, he felt that he was completely crow's mouth.

"Where is it that you are ready for the enemy to attack?" Li Qin frowned.

But that's just the way it is. After Li Qin's side had just completed the correction of the defensive arrangement, the rumbling sound of artillery rang out from behind.

"What's going on? Enemies in the back? Li Qin was taken aback.

He hurried to the head of the city and inquired about the guards above, but received a report: "A cavalry attack from the north, intending to stick to the river, detour to the east and raid our rear, but unexpectedly be discovered by the patrol fleet on the river, which is deterring and shelling them." ”

"Deterrent shelling?" Li Qin frowned: "Isn't two hundred artillery pieces enough to defeat these cavalry?" ”

He felt that something was wrong, but soon he realized that his fleet really couldn't do it. If the cavalry was to be routed with the artillery of the fleet, it was necessary to ensure that the cavalry was within two miles of the fleet.

However, because of hydrological conditions, it was impossible for the fleet to sail close to the riverbank, so the invading cavalry could only be hit by shells fired from the ship when they were only about a mile from the river.

But it's simply not possible. Near the river, the mud is moist and soft, and it is extremely difficult to walk, which idiot cavalry commander would lean that way? Even if they are forced to do so in order to seek secrecy, they will never go deep into the tidal flats, and at most they will play a sideshow -- just wandering around the tidal flats.

Even if they were shelled by the fleet and suffered heavy losses in the first round of shelling, they were able to react quickly and stay away from the danger.

For them to be so agile, there is nothing the fleet can do. They could only watch with their eyes and let them go.

Then send them off with artillery fire, and then give a wake-up call for their side.

"It must be like this!" Although it is only speculation, Li Qin believes that this is true.

After all, only this can explain why the shelling of the fleet is only of a deterrent nature. It's not that the fleet doesn't want to deal a devastating blow to the other side, it's that they simply can't do it.

"The range of the artillery is still too short." Li Qin understood that this was the first problem he would solve in the future: "The army, whether it is the army or the navy, needs artillery with a longer range and stronger power." ”

Thinking about it, Li Qin memorized this question and saved it for later.

As for the moment, Li Qin said that he is fully prepared.

Standing at the head of the city, he looked at the cavalry galloping from the east, and muttered in his heart: "Want to explode my chrysanthemums? Hmph, don't you know that I've already worn soft hedgehog armor on my crotch? Since you are coming, let you touch your head in front of my firearms and break the blood. ”

Li Qin thought hatefully, and soon he saw the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army rushing forward with a crazy momentum, and saw the Yuwen banner held high in this wave of cavalry and fluttering in the wind.

"Is it Yu Culture and?" Seeing this banner, Li Qin's heart inadvertently swept past a figure who had fought with him.

He knew that man—that was the person with the highest martial arts since Yuwen was injured, and he was also the most ambitious. This time, he was the protagonist of the Jiangdu Incident.

"I didn't expect it to be me meeting him directly...... So it's Yu Wenhua's idea to explode my chrysanthemum? actually has such an idea, and it really deserves to be a character who dares to kill the king. It seems that he still sees the whole battle situation quite accurately! Li Qin muttered to himself.

He quickly sent the order: "The whole army is ready to meet the enemy!" ”

On his command, all the soldiers raised their vigilance:

Rows of guns were erected, arranged in several rows;

Before the gun was platooned, a cannon that had been prepared for a long time raised its muzzle slightly;

Soldiers with muskets lined up on either side of the artillery, divided into a phalanx of twenty-four;

On either side of them were boxes loaded with Hundred Tigers and Thunderbolts. The chests were flanked by pikemen and crossbowmen.

Although Li Qin had always trained his soldiers in phalanxes, this did not affect Li Qin's ability to arrange a large crescent moon formation behind the city gate for now. This is not a difficult thing, the crescent moon is just a appearance, for the soldiers who formed the formation, they still stood in a phalanx.

Using countless phalanxes to organize and then rank the city, this is the mystery of Li Qin's arrangement.

With the completion of the adjustment of the formation on Li Qin's side, Yu Wenhua's cavalry has also arrived. They did not encounter Li Chin's men outside the city.

This made Yu Wenhua a little strange: "Could it be that Li Yuanhua's kid has already put all his men and horses into the city?" If that's the case, then I'm terrible. Yu Wenhua was worried.

Entering the city from outside the city, especially if the head of the city is still under the control of the enemy, is almost a matter of fighting for your life against the enemy's attack.

Of course, Yu Wenhua didn't want to do such a thing if he could, but for now......

"Assault!" Yu Wenhua and coldly ordered.

The arrow has to be sent on the string, and Yu Wenhua has no choice.

They resorted to horsemanship in spite of everything, attaching a small steel cavalry shield to their left arm.

The assault began, and they rushed fiercely towards the drawbridge and towards the city gates.

"It's finally here! We prepared a feast for them and they could still enjoy it! When he coldly watched the black-pressed cavalry break through to a hundred paces away from the moat, Li Qin waved his hand vigorously and gave the order to open fire.
