891.Chapter 891 The Wind Rises in Pingqiang City

"Lang Jun, Wang Dalang does not play cards according to common sense, you see, the Southern Dynasty actually restored the establishment of the chariot army, in a vain attempt to ride with the chariot system, don't you know that although the chariot soldier has strong defense, it is not invulnerable. Words * love * first * hair [Fengyun Novel Reading Network baoliny] "Gao Sheng is a little difficult to understand, and he doesn't think that the car soldiers are clever, but he might as well his evaluation of Wang Xiu.

"He can't help it, the Southern Dynasty horse army is too weak, and he has to use chariots to deal with the party members. It's just that since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the effect of chariots on blocking the horse army has weakened, and it is very unwise for the Southern Dynasty to set up a chariot battalion. Wushu smiled indifferently, he was not optimistic about the chariot, in the face of the Jin Army's iron cavalry, Li Gang also used the chariot, but he was defeated.

Gao Sheng nodded, the chariot can indeed limit the impact of the Ma army, but with the development of time, the shortcomings of bulkiness and poor mobility are really unbearable, coupled with the strengthening of the Ma army's mid-range and short-range combat capabilities, Sui and Tang have almost abandoned the chariot so far.

With the development of the tactics and equipment of the horse army, as well as the lack of war horses in the Great Song Dynasty, the chariot is not as practical as rejecting the horse.

Where did I think that Wang Xiu picked it up again, I really didn't know what this guy thought, and couldn't help laughing: "Lang Jun, it's time to go back." ”

"Well, since he has come, the army will rest for another day and rush south in six directions." The spirit of Wushu is exceptionally good, and he is even a little impatient.

"Don't be in a hurry, just let him wait."

"Hey, it's rude to keep people waiting."

The battle of Pingqiang City continued, and the fiercest battle was transferred to Dongguan Fort, which was not at the commanding heights or an important pass, but it was on the opposite side of the main Guancheng and the avenue, and once it could control the East Guan, it would be possible to cut off the road and divide the entire defense system of Pingqiang City, and it was dangerous to be divided and attacked relatively as a whole.

The most important thing is that the grain road transfer line is here, and Dongguan City must not be lost.

The guard of Dongguan Fort is Cheng Jiao, who was only effective in the past, and now he is now a general who sits in the pivotal position.

He had just taken up the post of deputy commander of the 69th Brigade of the Western Service Army Division last year, and was also the envoy of Dongguan Town in Pingqiang City.

This made him energetic for a while, the Xia army used regular soldiers and burdens of tens of thousands of people, more than 2,000 people lined up on the avenue to guard against the rescue of the main Guancheng, and the rest of the thousands of soldiers and horses took turns to attack the Dongguan City.

Dongguan City is the defensive castle of the main Guancheng, guarding the transfer road leading to the rear, which is not important or important, and belongs to the defensive fortress of the second line.

However, the Song army began to have the characteristics of a technical army, and its dependence on logistics support increased, and in the face of the attack of 100,000 Xia troops, it especially needed rear support.

Once the defense line is broken, Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road will be very passive, and the attacking troops that have just been deployed will start operations in advance, which is not conducive to the army's conquest plan.

Don't think that the enemy will fight when he comes, and then attack after the battle, tens of thousands of troops or even hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops must first enter the starting position, and then enter the battle in batches.

If you go into battle early, even if you win, you will need a lot of time to rest and redeploy, which is very troublesome.

Otherwise, when the Great Song Dynasty moved south, in addition to Wang Xiu and Zong Ze, only Qu Duan and Wang Yuan could preside over the 100,000-strong campaign, which shows that it is very difficult to control the army to fight, not just anyone can do it, let alone fight casually.

Therefore, it is really the top priority to look at the defense of the fort in the second line. He had only one infantry battalion under his command, plus a few baggage troops, five hundred Huanqing archers, and less than two thousand defenders.

A deputy Guancheng gathers tens of thousands of people, even if there are only 5,000 regular soldiers, it may not be too luxurious to deal with only 2,000 people, but it is the limit of Li Shifu's troop transfer.

Pingqiang City is not a city, but a complete set of defense system, with Pingqiang City as the center, the defense system built by the mountains and rivers, the actual combat troops of the 100,000 army are only 60,000 or 70,000, and they are not so conspicuous when they are distributed to various points, and a sub-Guancheng gathers tens of thousands of people, which can be called a luxurious lineup.

In the small space, the Ma army could only cut off the connection between the fortresses, which was of no help to attack the city walls, only the Boxi army played a small role, and in the face of the tall city wall composed of stone and cement, it was also helpless, but was shot by the bed crossbow on the city wall and killed many camels, Li Liangfu had to withdraw this precious army.

Thousands of Han people composed of Linglang troops, risking death to attack in turn, Cheng Jiao organized men and horses to resist, he was full of ammunition, to wait for work, repelled the attack of the Xia army for two days in a row, and it also seemed to be at ease.

The design of the city is reasonable, the defensive equipment is perfect, the casualties of the defenders are not large, the city walls are full of Xia army bones, they only killed more than 20 people, it is simply negligible, this is the advantage of defending the city.

However, the passage between Dongguan Cheng and Zhuguan City was cut off by the opposing Ma army, and he was unable to recover it, so he could only wait for the opportunity to dispose of it as appropriate.

Just when the Xia army besieged Pingqiang City, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth battalions of the Western Servant Army were completed, and the baggage army was also ready to go, and the five marshals Li Yanxian, Xu Huiyan, Liu Yanliang, Wu Jue, and Shao Xing were ready.

The forbidden army participating in the war included Fanluo, Shengjie, Yunyi, Guangrui, Feicai, Wanjie, Konghe, Dragoon, Yunjie, Tianwu Ten Army, and more than 100,000 people such as township saber players and archers of the Sixth Road, which were all front-line troops.

Of course, the Tianwu Army belongs to the front division of the palace, as the first storage on the battlefield.

The second-line troops were divided into two large groups, under the command of Zheng En, Guo Hao, and Wang Zeren, to defend the Jin army in Hedong to the east and provide support to the first line. Don't underestimate the township army and native soldiers, the township army in Shaanxi is definitely strong in combat.

Huanqing archers, the horse army is the most famous, Huanzhou party clan Mu Wei under the twelve village soldiers, that is well-known in Shaanxi.

Whether it is a general, a forbidden army, or a township army, it can be called a top luxury version, with a collection of famous generals and sharp soldiers.

Wang Xuan, who participated in the military division of the privy capital, led the team and also arrived at Quduan's line to guide the western army to participate in the military division, which was also the system of the imperial court. In order to implement the combat intentions of the two governments, the military division sent the generals of the military division to supervise the war, which can be regarded as the supervision of the Privy Council.

The whole Shaanxi Sixth Road is a banner exhibition, guns are like a forest, five major camps, forming the eastern, central and western three roads of strong soldiers Lima, all sharpening knives to pigs and sheep.

At this time, the 46th Brigade Town, which was directly under the Western Servant Army, was ordered to reinforce Pingqiang City.
