Chapter 530: 30,000 Cavalry VS 3,000 Infantry!
"Comrades have worked hard! Now it's up to us to replace everyone, if you are injured or in bad condition, go to the city to rest first, this is a long-lasting battle, so take care of your health! ”
After Wang Lanling learned that the army of Muzhou Mansion was coming, he quickly gathered a reserve team and his first corps to come over to assist in the battle, a total of 2,000 people.
After learning about the form here, let the people of his first corps replace the soldiers who have just fought, and let the soldiers who have fought before go down to rest and recuperate.
These people are all elite soldiers in Heishui County, and there are also a small number of people from Shanhai County, all of whom are very strong in physical fitness, strong in marksmanship and various military abilities.
"It's going to snow, everyone hold on for a while, and when the snow is thick, the invaders are all repulsed, and we can have a good year!"
Wang Lanling stood on the mountain bag near the trench, cheering for these soldiers who had just fought.
In addition to spiritual comfort, Wang Lanling also coordinated the rear and sent the hot meal over as soon as possible.
Fortunately, weapons such as aircraft missiles have not yet been developed here, and Wang Lanling can also temporarily provide temporary houses for the soldiers to warm and rest.
Once the other party has air superiority, then Wang Lanling's side will become a sea of fire.
The current battle formation and the layout of the barracks are still adhering to the traditional layout.
Without enemies that are strong enough, and without enemies and tactics that are beyond the Empire's expectations, the Empire's technology and new ideas are never applied in the right place.
Wang Lanling still arranged the camp at the rear of the battle line, and most of the soldiers were still recuperating and resting in the city.
Some of the people in Chai Tuo's corps are from Linshan County, and most of Tao Kun, Guo Shujiu and others' subordinates are mainly here, so the soldiers will not disturb the people when they enter the city to rest, and they can also stabilize the rear to a certain extent.
There are many things that Wang Lanling needs to consider, and the current weather is favorable to him, but he can't delay!
After returning to the headquarters to listen to the reports of Chai Tuo, Hu Zhong and others on this battle, Wang Lanling quickly made a decision.
"Quickly count the spoils of war and the number of prisoners, and count the casualties of our side and the enemy!"
"The number of enemies killed will be put aside for the time being, and let the soldiers themselves remember that the current war is urgent, and it can't be done so finely, this is a war against injustice, and all the monarchs are focused on the overall situation."
Lin Zunian quickly said: "Yes! I'll do it right away! ”
Wang Lanling said seriously: "We fought a beautiful battle, but although it frustrated the spirit of the invaders, it also made the people behind us pay more attention to us?" I'm afraid it's going to be a tough battle. ”
For this victory? Wang Lanling was not very happy.
Things are indeed good things, but the gap between the size of Lanling County and the empire is too big.
The empire has hundreds of opportunities to tolerate mistakes, but Wang Lanling currently has not a single one.
And not only that? Once the empire values his side? Then the methods used by Wang Lanling today will be learned by the empire!
Trenches are not a complicated thing? The generals of the Empire would soon discover the important use of this thing in the field.
Not only trenches, but also a lot of advanced tactics and systems? As long as the empire is willing to learn, even if it is slower? It will also quickly erase the tactical gap between the two sides.
The progress of mankind in war is remarkable, and there are countless talents and technologies that have come to the fore in times of war throughout the ages.
The basic plate of the empire is too big, as long as a few geniuses can emerge, then there will be big problems on Wang Lanling's side.
But it's not without a chance of winning!
"There is good news and bad news!" Wang Lanling explained: "The bad news is that they are paying more and more attention to us? And the good news is that there are still inactive bureaucrats in power! ”
"The emperor does not pay attention to the laws of science and does not realize the real combat effectiveness of the troops? and the suffering of the lower sergeants and the people. ”
"Bureaucrats only know how to implement policies that are in their own interests? Even if it's a bad thing? As long as you can keep your position? Not to mention the lives of his sergeants, even their wives and children will be betrayed. ”
Wang Lanling said affirmatively: "Since the emperor has given those people the news that I will be captured within fifteen days, then this is a death order to force these 60,000 people to die!" ”
It's so quiet outside the tent now, when it's snowing in the winter? It's always so quiet.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and after tonight, the snow will reach the height of the vamp.
If it's a little bigger, I'm afraid that tomorrow morning it will be at the knee level.
Wang Lanling clenched his fists and said solemnly: "The lives of these 60,000 people are not in their own hands, but in the hands of the Jiang family who are willing to think about them!" ”
"The Jiang family and the generals of the unified army this time, they don't have time to delay!"
"Send someone to call over there, saying that I, Wang Lanling, am here to personally command!! Die to the death!! ”
Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and they also understood what Wang Lanling meant.
Hu Zhong said: "Jiang Younian, the governor of Jinshan County, is the emperor's son, and he should be able to talk to the emperor. ”
Wang Lanling shook his head, "No, they are here for meritorious service this time, we are defending our homeland, they are here to make meritorious deeds!" Not only that, but in this team, I am afraid that there are many noble children who are waiting to snatch the merits of the sergeants below. ”
"These people do not allow the army to retreat, and they are even more unwilling to delay, risking delaying the military aircraft and waiting to die."
Wang Lanling pointed at himself, "I'm here, so they won't retreat, and the 60,000 soldiers won't retreat!" ”
"What we're going to fight next is a battle for human lives! 60,000 soldiers were sent directly to us to kill, in a vain attempt to fill the road of merit with human lives and war horses! ”
"Tell my word to everyone, including soldiers, prisoners, and people."
"If we don't resist! All of us, for generations, will live in those dark times, becoming chickens and dogs under the butcher's knife! ”
Everyone's hearts were extremely heavy.
Fear of empire is gradually replaced by resentment.
Next to the iron bridge, Jiang Younian led his men to look at the corpses of war horses and infantry that were trampled to death below.
"A bunch of wine bags and rice bags! Idiot! Incompetent!! ”
Jiang Younian was so angry when he saw that Huang Tongda nearby, and the army of more than 10,000 people was directly defeated by five or six thousand.
When they came out of Muzhou Mansion, there were 13,000 people, but now there are less than 6,000 people left!
The 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry who had taken the lead were scattered, and the rear retreat was blocked by the infantry, and most of the cavalry could only run west and south.
On the other side of the trench, there were not one or two, but many battle lines, like ducks passing by, and many cavalrymen were killed by bullets on their backs, which also blocked the way of the men and horses in the rear.
In addition, the sergeants of Lanling County pursued for a while, which frightened many people to run faster, and they couldn't gather the remnants for a while.
In fact, many people are thinking about coming back in a few days, and there are not many such people in the minority, because when they come back, they will also be frozen to death.
So it seems that this time it is extremely bleak, and the army of 13,000 people has been directly abolished!
What is more important is morale, because these defeated and wounded soldiers and the corpses that were killed, trampled and frozen to death along the way, the morale of the army is very bad.
The soldiers of Jinshan County came on the road opened up by these people in Muzhou Mansion, so they saw a lot of frozen corpses along the way, these people did not have any clothes on them, and there were so many that the wolves, birds and beasts could not eat them all!
The people who served as soldiers saw the fate of these people, plus the people in Jinshan County knew how powerful Wang Lanling was, and they knew more about the corruption in the Jiang family and the army, and their morale was very low.
Jiang didn't feel such a thing as morale when he was young, and he said fiercely:
"There's no time to delay! Wang Lanling must be caught today! ”
Jiang didn't have time to build the bridge slowly, he was very angry!
The county guard of Jinshan County said: "Lord Wang, Wang Lanling is lining up in front, and has also set up a large array of guns and cannons, our army is now unevenly armed, and now it is snowing again, why don't you think about it in the long run?" ”
Sima Wenshan quickly said: "No! There is a lot of snow in Muzhou, and Shanhai County will be covered with thick snow for a long time in winter, and the more it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us! ”
"Besides......" Sima Wenshan looked at the county guard, "If you delay the date stipulated by the saint and fail to catch Wang Lanling, can you afford to bear this responsibility?" ”
"This ......," the county guard paused, and said no more.
He is a good person, but he has no responsibility, he usually does good things, and his conscience is also gained, but let him stand up and defy the law, it will not work.
Jiang Younian didn't have time to delay, "Wang Lanling has more than 1,000 villagers, and I have 60,000 elite soldiers, if they all cower at this time, what kind of face do they have to go to see the ancestors and ancestors?" ”
The majesty of the empire, the face of the Jiang family.
Jiang Younian shouted loudly: "There is no time to repair the bridge!" Throw the corpses down and step on them! ”
"Let him have a thousand tricks, we will drop ten times with one force! Call me directly and let Wang Lanling teach me the power of the Muzhou Iron Horse! ”
30,000 cavalry + 30,000 infantry VS 3,000 infantry.
The 3,000 infantry was a firearms unit with trench stake cover and a large number of civilian and reserve replacements.
The weather was a snowy day.
