894.Chapter 894: The Battle of Pingqiang City
He was determined to develop chariot soldiers, but in the eyes of some people, the chariots had long been eliminated, and they rose up for a while, and they were not pure chariots, but belonged to the baggage chariots, protecting the infantry archers against the horse army. "Words * love * first * hair
With the continuous development of the tactics of the horse infantry army, the baggage vehicle covers the infantry army is no longer competent for battlefield tasks, and everyone is very resistant to the reorganization of the vehicle army, believing that this is a waste of limited resources, the reason is that the car is not suitable and the cost is very high, the cost of a car battalion is equivalent to four to five horse battalions or 17 infantry battalions.
However, he didn't think so, the chariot made by the imitation of the light generation Wugang car can not only be pulled by horses, but also can be pulled by a gear machine in a specific environment, pushed by the strength of two people, and is barely competent for mobile combat.
This is the prototype of the main chariot of later generations, and the emergence and development of anything will inevitably be resisted, and the same is true of the emergence of chariots.
Nothing can be done overnight, everything is gradual, he does not expect this kind of horsepower, manpower chariot, can create heavy results, as long as it can adapt to the war, get the recognition of the soldiers, and continue to develop, he will be satisfied.
His original intention was to set up a chariot army and develop a few more brigades, but the resistance was considerable. Don't say that people's concepts are difficult to reverse, even if they are very reluctant financially, it is really the formation of a car army plus a brigade town equivalent to the car army, I am afraid that it will cause forced resistance in the army, and how many troops can be armed by a car army at the cost of a car army I am afraid that it will be thirty percent of the strength of the northern army.
The only way to do this is to settle for the next best thing, and set up two lower brigades with chariot-based brigades, each with a battalion of vehicles, which can be regarded as beginning to take shape.
Although the establishment is the lower brigade, there are only less than 4,000 people, under his strong interference, the configuration of the car brigade generals is very high, and the commanders are from the six grades, that is, the level of the brigade is the general and colonel, is to take a curve to save the country, first shaved the people, since there are monks, the temple is very well built.
Qu Duan's insistence made him very annoyed, but he couldn't express it too much, he had a very good impression of those young people joining the army, or young people accepted things quickly, they haven't gotten the essence yet, let alone rich experience, but they already have a deep understanding, as long as they are honed in a real way, they are definitely manufacturable.
"My lord, you should stop Captain Qu immediately, it's too unreasonable to make trouble like this." Yu Wenyi said decisively, he didn't have a good impression of Qu Duan, there was no politeness between his words, it's one thing to hit a rake each, some problems still need to be straightforward, people who are left and right have never had a good end.
Zong Liang glanced at Yu Wenyi, this guy came here more than ten days ago, and he was quite valued by Wang Xiu, and it seemed that he wanted to focus on training.
He didn't care in his heart, a waiter competed with the magistrate, he didn't have that leisure, but Yu Wenyi's attitude made him not like it very much, so he said: "Sir, no matter how you argue, you can't affect the war." ”
Wang Xiu nodded, and secretly sighed that Zhong Lirui was not there, if Zhong Lirui was present, he would definitely not say a word, and immediately Xuanfu would deal with Si Qiangang's arbitrariness, and directly mobilize the 52nd Brigade to fight, how could there be so much nonsense.
Yu Wenyi is the person he fancies, and he is also quite talented, as far as the two sentences of the Chong person are concerned, he has a position and is very tactful, and he can see this person's ability, but he has too little experience, just like Zhong Lirui at the beginning, it is difficult to become a climate without five or six years of training. Thinking about it, he had already made up his mind, and said: "It is still necessary to be cautious in interfering with the capital school, but the forty-sixth brigade town reinforces Pingqiang City, the strength is too thin, and the fifty-second brigade town to follow up is a good choice." ”
"Follow up" Zong Liang didn't notice the meaning of the word, and the aftertaste that flashed in the corners of Wang Xiu's eyes.
Ren Duoye is a son of the Ren Duo clan of the party clan, and he has been skilled in arching and horses since he was a child, and is very valued by the elders in the clan.
This time, he followed Li Shifu to attack Pingqiang City, led an elite capture army, and imprisoned thousands of Linglang to attack Dongguan City.
It must be said that Dongguan City is heavily guarded, and Dongguan City is backed by a low hill, which is a small branch vein extending from the distant mountain range, which is not conspicuous compared to the big mountain, but in the relatively flat area of Sanyuandi, it is quite abrupt.
It is also the barrier of the Dongguan City monitoring road, the Xia army has not been defeated several times, and it must be attacked head-on, and it is impossible to rely on the tactics of encircling on all sides and sneaking a little, I don't know how much loss it has suffered, how many people have died, and it is still impossible to advance an inch.
He decided to attack the hill east of Guancheng first, and then turn back to deal with Dongguancheng, and successively mobilized more than 2,000 people to prepare for the attack. The attacking force was divided into two groups, one to pin down the defenders of Dongguan City, and the other to attack directly up the mountain along the ridge.
On the hill, there is a village attached to Dongguan City, and there are several independent small fortress cities, and there are more than 100 forbidden army officials and soldiers, and more than 300 native soldiers of the Huanqing Township Army.
Cheng Jiao is very worried about whether the cottage can be defended in Guandong, and there must not be any mistakes. Because, once the Xia army occupies the cottage, it will be able to look down on the entire Dongguan City, and even look down on the main Guancheng, use the five-party flag to control the advance and retreat of the army, impact the weak points, save time and effort and be effective, which is very beneficial to the battle.
Dongguan City is built on the mountain, the gains and losses of the cottage are directly related to the gains and losses of the Guancheng, once the Dongguan City is lost, the Xia army will cut off the Song army's transit channel, the entire Pingqiang City is a strict blow, there is time to encircle for a long time, but without a fight down the Guancheng.
Looking at the Xia army troops being deployed, his mood was heavy, even though there were hundreds of defenders on the mountain, he was still not very relieved.
However, the small dirt mountain cannot accommodate thousands of defenders, and the troop allocation is already the maximum, and there is no way to use the native soldiers of the township army. All Guancheng needs defenders, and the strength of the forbidden army is insufficient, so it can only use the township army with strong combat effectiveness.
You can't underestimate the township army, the township army on the edge of the border is extremely strong in combat effectiveness, and with a little training, it is a strong force, and the Huanqing archers are famous, but the number is too small.
Hundreds of Xia soldiers were divided into several teams and slowly marched towards the mountain, they were swords in front, bows and crossbows in the back, without the slightest panic or impatience, at a glance they were elite soldiers. There is no way to do it, the siege can be used to kill the opponent's strength, but mountain warfare is two different things, you use weak combat units, basically not to do anything, and it is also slaughtered by people, it is better to use strong troops.
They are not fancy, they advance firmly step by step, even if someone dies under the bow and crossbow, they are so calm, and when they reach a certain position, they will suppress the Song army with bows and arrows.
The mountain defenders are no strangers to the Xia army, at first glance, it is the elite of the Xia army who is familiar with mountain warfare, but it is the elite from Hengshan, and this battle is not easy to fight.
"Don't panic, they will have more than 200 Qiang Mountains, and the rest are Uighur mongrels, shoot them with arrows."
