There were mainly two ways of fighting in this era, one was field warfare and the other was defensive warfare.

The defensive battles are mainly fortress and city wall battles, the plain area is the city wall blockhouse and the like, and the mountainous area is the condescending castle like the Xianshui Palace.

Field battles are also divided into encounters and meetings.

A battle is when the two sides fight at an agreed place.

Where there is a city wall, it is very difficult to fight, usually the two sides are artillery bombardment, taking human lives to fill in and surround it.

So if you know that the other side has fortifications, you usually avoid fighting.

For example, Wang Lanling would not go to places such as city walls and bunkers, and he also ignored some stubborn forces in Shanhai County.

Even if it is defeated, it will fall into the quagmire of long-term security battles and street battles, and Wang Lanling cannot afford to delay.

So in this era, fortifications have not yet become popular.

The Imperial side was not psychologically prepared for defense, and it was not sure of the specific location of the battle, so it did not use fortifications, but arranged more people to guard the place where the commander was located.

The First Legion was the most elite unit under Wang Lanling, and this time Wang Lanling directly asked a thousand men to attack the enemy's flank position.

The pastures of Yanshan County are vast, and in order to avoid a sneak attack on the army, the team moves forward like an arrow.

Most of Wang Lanling's subordinates are Muzhou people, there are many cavalry on Muzhou's side, and the people of the Shanzhou Legion are very high in their ability to deal with cavalry, and this time they directly occupied a hill as a place to camp.

At this time, the imperial army occupied the pastoral area where Hu Zhong had lived before, and Wang Lanling separated the grassland from the wasteland and occupied the wasteland area where the grassland was degraded.

The main force of the empire was still in the areas of water and grass where there was more pasture and food, and the forward troops occupied some of the hills in the wasteland area.

Therefore, the battlefield of the battle was established in a mountainous area suitable for the Shanzhou legion, which was not suitable for the charge of cavalry, and also strengthened the advantage of more people and fewer people.

Because it is a mountain battle, the side with more people has more turnover capacity and can quickly surround and flank the side with fewer people.

It's just that the ideas are all good, and there are no problems with the plan, which is a layout developed by a dozen generals together.

It's not themselves who have the problem, it's the mountain naval regiment that hit on the other side!

"My lord! Can't hold it! It's not good! Few people died! ”

Xiong Ruyan shouted loudly, the situation on their side was very bad.

Lin Yanzhang said angrily: "Hold! Hold it all for me! ”

Xiong Ruyan was anxious, the gunshots outside were getting closer and closer, he just showed his head and took a look, the mountains were full of people, and those people from Shanhai County were like they couldn't die, and gradually approached their side.

"No! There are many enemy soldiers, and our more than 5,000 people are not their opponents at all! ”

At this time, the 5,000 men of the Eagle Yang Army were guarding the top of this mountain, some were under the mountainside, and some were guarding the big tent here on the mountain.

Only the front area was attacked, and Eagle Yang County could retreat from the hill at any time to find another team to join up.

But now the commander of the Eagle Yang Army did not want to retreat, he shouted loudly: "Hold on! Reinforcements are coming soon! ”

Xiong Ruyan shouted: "My lord! We are four or five hours away from the main camp here, and even if the nearest Huwei army comes, we can't hold it! ”

Lin Yanzhang kicked this garbage that disturbed the morale of the army away, and said angrily: "If you can't defend it, you must defend it!" Give it to me! ”

The personnel on both sides are constantly decaying, but after the defender's cannon is finished, the defender's death toll begins to rise rapidly!

First, the lack of fortifications? The defenders can't even find trees as cover? Basically, they all stand in a walled formation and shoot down.

Standing upright, bent over, crouching? Three rows for a while, more than 30 people kept shooting at the people below.

If you die, you will add one after another, so you will die faster.

Different eras correspond in different ways? The way of the empire is to line up and shoot? Line up to be shot.

Because they are basically dealing with some scattered warriors or martial arts bandits, such a dense formation can shoot at fast-moving targets more accurately.

And the continuous shooting can suppress the enemy very well, so that the opposite side will be killed as soon as he shows his head? So as to protect yourself.

But now times have changed!

First of all, the positions on the side of the Mountain Navy Regiment are very scattered, and there is fire suppression? Ten men can suppress the fire of thirty people, and quickly cooperate with the surrounding fire to destroy the enemy.

It's obviously that there are more people and fewer people, and it's been constantly fighting back? But after two hours of fighting, the Eagle Yang Army had been beaten to the point of holding on to the top of the mountain.

"The people above, they fought so hard, how much salary did you get!"

Shi Jian hid behind a rock and shouted at the people on the mountain.

At this time, the people of the First Corps had already hit the top of the mountain, and Lin Yanzhang also heard the enemy's shouts.

"Shameless boy, you want to bewitch my army! Everybody rush out! Destroy these shepherd dogs!! ”

When the army fights, it still stays at the stage of fighting bayonets, like artillery and bullets are consumables, just like bows and arrows.

Loading bullets is time-consuming, and the Empire has always used that kind of flintlock pistol in order to save bullets.

After the enemy approaches, of course, it is necessary to rush out and fight at close range, which is common knowledge in this era!

Therefore, in the eyes of the people of the First Corps, it is the other side that has stupidly given up the positional advantage and the superiority in numbers and weapons, and has always been fighting them in a way that is close to death.

"Kill!"

The Imperial Legion was charging from above, and these foot soldiers from Shanzhou were rushing out at great speed.

They are like wild men running out of the mountains, and in the sloping terrain, they can run faster than the charging knights!

Shoot! "Bang!"

Bombing! "Boom!"

The distance of a hundred meters was fleeting, and although it may seem stupid that such a charge worked, it did have an effect.

Soon it reached the point where it was impossible to shoot and drop bombs, and the soldiers on both sides quickly scuffled together!

At a time when technology has not yet developed to the point of distance, some means can indeed play some role.

The advantage of weapons was temporarily restrained, and the following period of time was a simple contest of physical strength and luck, and a person's life gradually disappeared on this rugged mountain road like the Colosseum.

On the other side of the battlefield, the other half of the 1st Corps soldiers successfully took positions on the flanks and quickly began to build fortifications and repairs.

The First Corps is the most elite unit under Wang Lanling, and it is an honor to be able to enter this unit, but it is also used by Wang Lanling on the blade.

***

"Report! The position of the left flank of the Kirin Army was captured by the Mountain Navy, and now the enemy is gathering forces there! ”

"Report! The right flank of the Eagle Yang Army is lost! Lin Yanzhang was martyred! ”

Shanzhou Mu listened to the report of his subordinates with a gloomy face, and quickly looked at the position pattern in the sand table.

"How is the Chinese army?" Shanzhou Mu quickly asked.

Wan Gu said: "Wang Lanling is not in the big camp, the commander of the Chinese army is gradually approaching, and he is not chasing too closely, I am afraid that there will be an ambush." ”

Shanzhou Mu nodded and continued: "Can you investigate Wang Lanling's baggage transportation route? ”

Wan Gu was not clear about this, and Mian Mao said: "It has not been investigated clearly, we all get the information from the people who do business with Wang Lanling, and several spies also let the businessmen pass on the information. ”

Shanzhou Mu asked: "Why don't you use flying pigeons to pass on the book?" ”

Mian Mao explained: "Since the beginning of last year, Wang Lanling has banned pigeons in several places, saying that pigeons are pest birds, only eat grain and do not eat insects, and all encounters will be killed. ”

Shanzhou Mu's face was extremely solemn, this kid had already had the intention of rebellion!

"Lifting the restrictions on doing business in Shanhai County, we need to know more news! Playing is a matter of fighting for a while, and this little time is nothing. ”

After Shanzhou Mu finished speaking, he said: "Suspend the offensive, camp on the spot, and send people to fight back the two positions on the left and right!" ”

Mian Mao asked, "How about directly marching into Shanhai County and attacking Linshan County?" ”

Shanzhou Mu denied: "No, Wang Lanling is familiar with the terrain, and there are many tricks and tricks, if we rush into the army, it will be difficult to take care of the end." ”

"Come, write a note and ask the Holy Lord to order the assistance of the Shanzhou Navy to march from the rear of Shanhai County!"

Wang Lanling's prestige is all out, and the kind of powerful military methods that are revealed make Shanzhou Mu have to be treated carefully.

It is already impossible to eliminate Wang Lanling in one go in a few days, and now you can only take your time.
