Liu Guojie frowned and looked at the battlefield, yesterday when he saw the heavy casualties of the Shangdu army was shocked in his heart, you must know that the Shangdu army is a strong force that has participated in all the battles after the founding of the country, and the soldiers are from the Mongolian homeland, after pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, he was ordered to garrison Hangzhou and suppress the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But it was such an old army that had only been fighting for two days and had been beaten for help again and again, with nearly half of the casualties, and he realized that he had hit a hard stubble. After roughly understanding the battle situation, Liu Guojie discussed with Bald Man how to break the enemy.

Don't look at the two of them are 10,000 households, but they are also divided into 369 and so on, and they are tens of thousands of households, even if they lose the battle, they must obey their leadership. Bald Man was naturally unwilling to admit that he underestimated the enemy and caused losses, so he rushed to save the situation and charged desperately, resulting in great casualties, so he attributed his defeat to the enemy's strong army and sharp firearms, of course, under his own onslaught, the Song army suffered heavy casualties, and only in order to prevent the remnant Song Emperor from running away, he asked for reinforcements.

Liu Guojie saw that his bald eyes flickered, and he knew that there was a lot of moisture in his words, but he didn't dare to say it. And Bald Man lost the battle, naturally he was also weak-hearted, saying that his troops had suffered heavy losses and urgently needed to rest, and the attack on the Song army was mainly based on his subordinates, and he was supplemented. Liu Guojie can only accept it, knowing that it is difficult to get anything useful from his mouth, and he has to rely on himself.

Liu Guojie had fought with the Qiongzhou army, and knew that its attack and defense relied on the sharpness of firearms, and the powerful lethality of firearms left a deep impression on him. He first personally led people to survey the surrounding terrain, and found that the battlefield was not conducive to the deployment of troops, and there was only one way to enter, as long as the Song army blocked the passage with firearms, it would be difficult to break through, and it was no wonder that the casualties of the Shangdu army were so large. He understood that if he could not suppress the enemy's firearms and cover his troops to engage the enemy in close combat, there was no way to defeat the Song army.

Although Liu Guojie had the idea of breaking the enemy, he still did not dare to act rashly, but asked someone to investigate to determine the strength of the Song army in the valley, and the rewards he could get were different. Some people say that the Song army only had more than 30 warships sailing into the Yuhe, and it is estimated that the number was at most about 2,000; Others say that the Song army had two or three hundred warships passing through the canal, and there were as many as 20,000 soldiers and horses; However, some people said that they saw the Song army's warships on the Qiantang River with their masts like a forest, and there were many of them in sight, and there were definitely 100,000 soldiers and horses.

For the Song army has as many as 100,000, Liu Guojie will never believe it, he judged that the Song army suddenly sent troops to come this time, not to provoke a war in an all-round way, but simply to capture and kill Yang Lian Zhenjia, who robbed the tomb, and repair the imperial tomb, and collect the bones of the ancestors, because the Song Navy had never appeared in the sea area of Hangzhou before, and if it was such a large-scale sailing at sea, it was impossible to hide the traces, and it was impossible not to find them along the way. And how can the strength of 100,000 people be assembled in a day and a half, and it is enough to shake the earth on that small island in Qiongzhou.

It is impossible to have only 2,000 people, you must know that this time it was the little emperor of the Song Dynasty who came in person, and Liu Guojie judged that there were more than enough people serving around him; Then there is the Song army from Qiongzhou, it takes more than ten days to travel, and it stays here for many days, and it also has to consider the return trip, only the people eat the horses and feed the grain and grass is a large amount, and it also needs a large number of ships to ship; In addition, the two sides fought for several days, and the losses of the Shangdu army were there, and even if they had the advantage, they did not launch a counteroffensive, which must have been limited by the lack of troops.

Liu Guojie has since made a judgment that it is more reliable for the Song army to come with 200 warships. But the soldiers who can really fight have to be folded in half, because although he has never seen the emperor of the Song Dynasty travel, he has seen the Great Khan go out, and the ministers, attendants, and guards around him have tens of thousands of people, and it is said that the emperor of the Song Dynasty has a bigger score. No matter how shabby the little emperor of the remnant Song Dynasty is, there will not be too few people, and then subtract the sailors who drive the ship and the miscellaneous servants who repair the tomb, etc., and the comprehensive calculation of his capable soldiers is about 10,000 people.

At present, fierce fighting has broken out between the two sides for several days, and according to Balman, although his side has suffered heavy casualties, the enemy has also suffered thousands of losses. Liu Guojie pondered that even if there was an element of bragging, how could the Song army lose two or three thousand soldiers, and it must be when people were sleepy and lacking. However, he thought that it could not be ruled out that the Song army would have someone to meet at sea, so that it could open up the waterway and withdraw smoothly.

So, Liu Guojie thought that now was the best time to attack. Therefore, he did not let the troops who had just arrived rest and recuperate, and sent troops overnight to the mountains on both sides to find a way into the valley, and on the other hand, he could detour back into the valley and expel the enemy from the stronghold; second, even if it is unsuccessful, it can force the enemy to divide his forces and fortify on both flanks; The third is to attract the attention of the enemy army and cover the artillery army to set up a stone throwing machine......

"Alas, it fell short!" Liu Guojie, who was watching the enemy formation from behind, watched the soldiers who were about to rush to the city head suffered heavy casualties by the grenades thrown from the city, and had to retreat, and the Song army on the city wall also crackled with strange firearms, putting the archers covering the city together, and the follow-up troops were blocked by the enemy's artillery fire, and the attack in front became more and more weak with the increase of casualties. Liu Guojie sighed, knowing that he had missed the best opportunity to break through, and there was nothing he could do, so he ordered the remnants of the army to withdraw to the formation.

The remnants retreated, Liu Guojie checked the damage, and the 1,000-man team that participated in the attack lost more than half, and it was difficult to launch another attack, so he could only retreat to the rear army to rest. The losses of the artillery army were particularly tragic, as the Song army's key target of the 'return artillery' was all destroyed, unable to continue to participate in the battle, other small and medium-sized stone throwers under the cover of rockets fire, also lost more than 40 percent, the soldiers were killed and wounded quite a lot, but they could still barely participate in the battle.

Liu Guojie was quite heavy when he heard the report, and he wanted to seize the enemy's front line and seize the fortifications in one fell swoop under the cover of the artillery army. However, their own artillery was obviously inferior to the opponent's artillery, and was inferior to the Song army in terms of range, power, and reaction speed.

Regarding the small firearms used by the enemy troops in the city, Liu Guojie asked the soldiers who had escaped, and they said that the thing was also very powerful, and the shields they used were like paper paste, and they were all pierced under a blow and could not be prevented at all, and all of them were injured and lost their combat effectiveness in an instant. Even officers in iron armor are not immune, firing projectiles that pierce through the strongest breastplates. And some of the Song soldiers defending the city used a firearm with great power, and those who hit directly within fifty steps were interrupted by the waist, and even if they were swept away, they were covered with bloody holes, and all of them died instantly.

Liu Guojie was very angry when he heard this, because he had seen the assault rifles used by the Song army in the early years when they were fighting them, which contained gunpowder and projectiles, and when ignited, they could shoot and hurt people. However, its power is very small, and it can hurt people's faces at a long distance, but it cannot penetrate the armor, and it is not the same old thing that is used now. However, Bald Man concealed this verse, and did not mention that the power of the new firearm was so great, that he had taken so many lives in vain. But he is a Shangguan, so he can find a reason to perfunctory the past, and he can only endure this breath.

Now that there is no turning back from the bow, Liu Guojie can only organize an attack again, gather the remnants of the artillery army and let them take the lead in attacking the city fortress, while they send troops to attack at the same time, striving to break through the low city defense that seems to be broken with one blow. However, it failed again, although the soldiers on the city defense of the Song army were suppressed by the stone thrower, but when they rushed to within 200 paces, there were firearms to intercept them, and one shot covered a range of more than ten zhang wide, and those who were shot were either killed or wounded. After two rounds of blows, there were already heavy casualties, and it was difficult to launch an effective attack.

At the same time, the Song army still had the spare strength to bombard the catapult position, and even if the shells did not hit directly, the shrapnel would blow up the soldiers who operated the artillery. Forcing the artillery to abandon the artillery and flee, without their suppression, the Song army guarding the city defense would once again rush to the city's own soldiers to open the killing ring, and it was impossible to go to the city.

After paying the tuition twice, Liu Guojie realized that if he continued to fight like this, he would have to confess all his talents in the valley. However, the tuition fee was not paid in vain, and he found that although the Song army's fortress seemed simple, it was scattered, and it could be effectively reinforced by the rear artillery. And there is no design blind spot in the design, no matter where you go to the city, you will be supported by other Song troops on several faces; Another lesson is that it is easy to be mass-killed by enemy artillery in a dense formation, and although its artillery is powerful, there is also a large gap between fires......

"This is a smart man!" Zhao Yu put down the binoculars and sighed.

"Doesn't Your Majesty like smart people the most!" Chen Dun said happily on the side, although he still couldn't see any changes on the battlefield, and he didn't find out where the enemy's intelligence was.

"I like smart people, but I don't like smart enemies!" Zhao Yu knocked on Chen Dun's helmet and said, "You send someone to remind Ni Liang and ask him to pay attention to the direction of Baihuling." ”

"Yes!" This is the first time since the start of the war that the little emperor has 'interfered' with the front command on the battlefield, but Chen Dun subconsciously stood on the right path.

"Your Majesty, Commander Ni replied that he had already sent soldiers from the two capitals to reinforce and strengthened the five Ben Thunder Guns." A few communications soldiers reported back.

"Yes, I see." Zhao Yu nodded and raised his hand to let him retreat.

"Frightened, Commander Ni actually thought of going with His Majesty this time!" Chen Dun was a little surprised.

"You think it's surprising, isn't it?" Zhao Yu twisted his face and frowned and asked.

"Hehe, Commander Ni is a well-known honest man, and His Majesty is full of praise and wisdom, of course it is surprising." Chen Dun said with a smile.

"Do you know why Mr. Ying gave you the word Houping and Ni Liang the word Mingzuo?" Zhao Yu was not happy, but asked rhetorically. Speaking of which, the three of them can be called orphans, and they have all studied with Ying Jieyan, and when they become adults, they should be taken by their elders, but neither of them has parents, so Ying Jieyan will do it for them.

"The word is the name of the solution, the bright word has the meaning of clear and auxiliary, and the word is clear and logical; My dun character has a heavy meaning, and there is nothing unusual! Chen Dun replied immediately.

"The meaning is exactly what you say, but there is something else in it." Zhao Yu listened to his explanation and said, "Ming Zuo, his clear words are not just interpreted by words, but mean that he has a clear mind, saying that he seems to be stupid, but his heart is as clear as a mirror, and he can perceive subtleties; And you are indeed intelligent, but you have an impetuous temperament, so that you act roughly, do not seek to understand, Mr. for you to choose the word Houping is to hope that you can be in a stable state of mind, step on the implementation of things, otherwise it is difficult to make great achievements. ”

"This ...... I see! Chen Dun was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head and thought for a while before nodding.

"You and Ni Liang were taught at the same time, and they both trained and studied in the new army, but why do you claim to be smart and can only be a commander so far, while Ni Liang is said to be honest but can command the entire army?" Zhao Yu said, "You may say that Ni Liang is so kind to me." But you also know that the military is very heavy, how can I not understand, can I not trust you enough to be so stupid as to put tens of thousands of troops under the command of a stupid man in order to repay my own favor, and not let you, a smart man, be subservient to others all the time? ”

"Your Majesty's teachings have to be taught by your subordinates to know that you are smart, and you are the most stupid person!" Chen Dun put away his always cynical little face, and said with a blush on his face.

"Hmph, it's still saved!" Zhao Hao snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to help him up, and pointed to the battlefield again, "If you look carefully, why do I and Commander Ni pay attention to the always silent White Tiger Ridge?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Dun agreed, picked up the binoculars and looked at the battlefield, at this time the enemy army had been deployed again, but the situation was not yet clear.

"Do you see what's going on?" After a long while, Zhao Hao asked again.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the enemy is going to divide his troops to attack!" Chen Dun put down the binoculars and said, "The enemy's stone thrower has been completely destroyed under several rounds of attacks by our army, and the enemy general also realized that our army relied on the sharpness of artillery, so he no longer concentrated his forces but evacuated the formation to prevent mass injuries during the artillery bombardment." ”

"Well, go ahead." Zhao Yu nodded slightly.

"The enemy's troops are scattered and seem to be unable to distinguish the focus of the attack, but on closer inspection, it can still be seen that the right flank is biased towards our defensive line, so the subordinates judge that the enemy on the left flank seems to be a feint to attract our main force, and the right flank is their main direction of attack." Chen Dun continued.

"Then why did the enemy choose the right flank as the breakthrough point?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Your Majesty also knows that our defense line is shaped like a pot, with Baihuling and Wulian Mountain as the edges, and the fortified position as the bottom. The two mountains are towering, but our main position is low and flat, and it is of course easier for ordinary people to break through in the middle, but they do not know that this is all within the range of our artillery. Chen Dun pointed to the entire battlefield.

"The side of the Wulian Mountain on the left flank facing the valley is steep and difficult to climb, and it is also bombarded by artillery from the main position; However, the White Tiger Ridge on the right flank is lower than Wulian Mountain, and the oblique thorn lies across the battlefield, which can cover the artillery bombardment on the main position, and what is more advantageous is that its mountain shape is long and narrow, the defense at both ends is narrow, and the mountain is gentle, although it is not conducive to the deployment of the team, but it can concentrate troops to break through! ”
