Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 123 The Noon Offensive (13)

Auma only saw that Jiang Yugang had been preparing for the defense of Mengyang City for several months, while preparing and developing the Mang Ancient Castle. He thought that Jiang Yugang must have regarded Meng Yangcheng as something that could never be thrown away, and he could pay any price for it.

But in fact, Jiang Yugang is really not so determined, in his opinion, the Meng Yang layer is not absolutely impossible to lose, and it can even be said that for the current Jiang Yugang, there is nothing that cannot be thrown away.

He has experienced too many things, and it is too bizarre, through the ethereal time and space, to the Ming Dynasty in the fifteenth century AD, this kind of thing can happen, Jiang Yugang's psychological endurance is much stronger than Auma imagined.

"The news of reinforcements is reliable, just not as accurate." Jiang Yuyan realized that Auma was suspicious of his instructions, so he took out the information that Li Zhong brought to him and handed it to Aouma: "It's the information sent by the pick-up point arranged near the Mansi Village." ”

He saw Aouma's doubts, after all, Auma no longer even used the honorific title "War Master" used by the people in Mang Castle, so he naturally had to think more about it to understand his excitement at the moment. But at the same time, he can also understand Aouma's suspicions, they are in the city of Mengyang, and there are too many unknown fogs of war to face. The reason why a lot of effort was put into training a large number of intelligence officers was to be able to eliminate the effects of these fogs of war as much as possible, and to be as close to the truth as possible.

"Is there a connection point in the barbarian temple village?" Awuma's expression gradually relaxed after hearing this answer, as the senior military commander of Manggu Castle, he also knew the reliability of the work of the contact point, and these members of the Watch Hall of the Mang Castle Secret Academy were responsible for providing a lot of reliable information for Mang Castle.

This information may be related to the resource points of hunting, or the distribution of farmland that can be cultivated, or the most critical military information, these various kinds of information are all from the intelligence collection of the Watch Office, and they have won more and more trust and prestige in their continuous intelligence work.

Therefore, the moment Auma heard about the contact point, he began to unload his mental defense, and no longer had so many doubts and worries, which was the recognition of the status of the watch hall, and it was also the harvest of the work results of many members of the contact point.

Auma nodded thoughtfully, if it is the news of the receiving point, even if it is not so accurate, but the reliability can still be guaranteed, at least it is not completely groundless, and it is not a rhetoric that Jiang Yu used to stabilize people's hearts.

"Then the military master, can you ask why the information is not transmitted to Manggu Castle normally, but is temporarily transmitted by the contact point?" Auma is also aware of the rules for the transmission of military information in the bed cabinet, under normal circumstances, an intelligence has a person in charge of it, and the person in charge is responsible for communicating with the intelligence source, if there are no accidents in the intelligence work, then the intelligence should pass through the person in charge to transmit the original information of the intelligence source.

The intelligence at the point of contact shows that the source of the intelligence is not the original information provided by the person in charge of intelligence, but from the reconnaissance information obtained by the intelligence personnel of the point of contact through the intelligence work of the point of contact, and the reliability of this kind of information naturally cannot be compared with the original information provided by the person in charge.

In terms of the intelligence of the request for help this time, the original information should be from the right track of the barbarian temple village camp, and there are Ming army documents with military seals. There was clear information on the transfer of troops, but the facts backfired, and what was obtained was reconnaissance information with the identity authentication of the intelligence of the contact point.

Jiang Yugang also shook his head: "Along the way, there are too many accidents that can happen, but the connection point can give information for help, which means that they still know the entire process of asking for help, and the news of reinforcements should have a certain guarantee, and there will not be too much deviation." ”

"That's all I can think about now," Auma smiled, "The news of the reinforcements is the most effective for us now, so that we can really win." ”

Jiang Yuyan nodded: "That's it, I really made up my mind to fight a decisive battle with the Luchuan army in Mengyang City, and defend Mengyang to the death, as long as we wait for the reinforcements to arrive, it will be our victory." ”

"After I go to Beicheng, I also want to convey this information to all the soldiers." Auma asked.

Jiang Yuyan replied: "Naturally, it will be passed on to all the soldiers defending the city, and I will also go to the north city tower with you, but the specific intelligence details don't need to be so detailed, they don't understand the military intelligence mechanism of the Secret Academy, and talking too much will make them feel uneasy." ”

"Yes, Master." Aummah replied.

Before Auma left, he still asked Jiang Yu again: "Commander, what if we still can't hold it when the time comes?" ”

Jiang Yuyan was a little stunned for a while, he didn't expect Auma to still ask about such a thing, but after thinking about Aouma's frankness and sincerity, he was relieved. I said that I would stick to it, but if it comes to some extremely disadvantaged situations, I am afraid that many people will have their own thoughts.

The fact that Auma was able to confirm these things again and again shows that he has a certain determination and is resolute enough to deal with this tactical arrangement, which is also in line with his style all along. This is a person worthy of recognition, Jiang Yuyan sighed a little in his heart, it was indeed his luck to be able to meet Aouma.

Hoping that there would be no more accidents in this battle, he thought silently, and then said his answer in a more resolute manner: "If the situation of the guards is too difficult, then I will go out of the city and fight." ”

"Out of town to fight?" Aouma's eyes widened, this was an answer he hadn't expected: "Is it a head-on battle with the Luchuan army?" ”

Because it was too unbelievable, he asked again: "It's not a breakthrough, but a head-on battle with the Luchuan army out of the city?" ”

"That's it, the reason why I brought all the heavy cavalry in Mang Castle here is to prepare for a possible frontal battle," Jiang Yuyan replied, "When the time comes, I will take the lead in leading the army out of the city to fight." ”

"But isn't that death? How much of a difference can it make? Auma asked, puzzled.

"Stop the offensive of the Luchuan army and buy as much time as possible for the soldiers defending the city." Jiang Yugang explained: "There is a limited width of space on the battlefield, although the number of Luchuan troops is large, but the number of people we can resist is limited, and the number of people who can fight with us is also limited, so we have space to use a small number of soldiers to fight a large number of enemies." ”

In fact, the principle of this is that the width of the battlefield engagement is limited, the hills and mountains in the north and northeast of Mengyang City, although it is already a fairly wide area in the Luchuan area, but the space that can take place is still limited, even if the enemy has tens of thousands of troops, but the actual engagement width is also very small, according to Jiang Yugang's estimate, the cavalry team of hundreds of people can cause a certain impact on the offensive of the Luchuan army, and once it can successfully kill the leader or leader, will be able to achieve the goal of delaying the offensive of the Luchuan Army.

Of course, according to Jiang Yu's analysis from the perspective of details, in order to achieve the goal, two conditions are needed, the first condition is that the Luchuan army itself lacks tactical experience and organization, most of them are temporary recruits, and their belief in fighting is very weak, and after suffering large casualties in a short period of time, there will be a rout.

The second condition is that the heavy armor used by Jiang Yu's own cavalry troops is reliable, and it will not suffer casualties soon after being attacked by the enemy, and it can have a certain degree of defensive power. The heavy armor used by the hundred-heavy armored cavalry of Mang Castle itself depends on the new smelting technology brought by Jiang Yugang, and the strength of the heavy armor produced can resist the close-range shooting of the bird guns of Mang Castle, the shooting of conventional bows and arrows, and the slashing of ordinary standard swords, which are ineffective against the attacks of these heavy armor.

Jiang Yu thought about the possibility of breaking through these heavy armors, but after thinking about it, it might just be some legendary crossbows or cannonballs, which can threaten these heavy armors at the current level of technology.

At present, the Ming army that conquered Luchuan is already the most advanced unit on the Luchuan battlefield, and there is no way to penetrate these heavy armors, and the tens of thousands of Luchuan troops temporarily gathered in the Mengyang area can only use more backward weapons and equipment.

Not to mention that there were more advanced weapons that could pose a threat to the heavily armored cavalry, Jiang Yugang also arranged for the intelligence officers of the Secret Academy to investigate the armaments of the Luchuan army stationed near the Indoji Great Lake, and the final result was about one-tenth of the firearms, and nine-tenths of the original cold weapons.

Among them, the long-range weapons are still mainly all kinds of bows and arrows, and all these equipment cannot really threaten the batch of heavy armored cavalry that Jiang Yugang secretly trained, and such cavalry will have a great impact on the offensive of the Luchuan army.

In Jiang Yugang's goal, he needs to rely on these heavy cavalry to win the best hour, effectively delay the offensive of the Luchuan army, and also help cover the musket troops of other Manggu Castles, so as to cause casualties to the Luchuan army more effectively, and strive to form a space to delay the attack of the Luchuan army.

The possibility of casualties in his imagination of the heavy cavalry is to be surrounded by a large number of enemy troops, but on the one hand, the Luchuan army needs to be able to quickly form an organizational ability to counter the heavy cavalry, and on the other hand, there will be problems with their own firepower, but both possibilities are extremely low.

Let's not talk about how much of the ability of these newly recruited Luchuan recruits to counter the heavy cavalry can show, even if they can show excellent organizational skills and timely response capabilities, but with the cover of Mengyang City's firepower, they will not encounter too much danger.

Of course, all this will not be a problem based on his judgment, although Jiang Yuyan has many worries about the details, but he still has a certain degree of confidence in the overall trend. These grasps are not only his understanding of the Mang Castle troops, the other garrison Ming troops in Mengyang City, and the capabilities of his opponent Luchuan Army in the past few months, but also from the perspective of the future hundreds of years later, looking back and forth these various tactical details from a higher height.

His perspective will not be trapped in such a relatively narrow space like others who are now on the Luchuan battlefield. Whether it is the original idea of improving the firearm from the original firearm to the fixed ammunition, or the later design idea of the bird's gun, and finally to the training of the heavy cavalry, this series of strategies should not have appeared on the Luchuan battlefield in this time and space.

But the fact is that these strategies not only appeared, but also became a reality to a certain extent with the establishment of Mang Castle and the support of Bai Qianfan, the garrison of the Ming army in Mengyang City. Although Jiang Yugang is uneasy about the upcoming offensive, because of these strategies, he also has a certain amount of confidence.
