Because at the second watch, Colin, who acted as a radar, ran back from half a mile away in a panic and reported: "There is an enemy attacking. This time the sound is much quieter, and it is estimated that the number of people will not be too large.
Speaking of which, Colin is really a radar, and the equipment customized to him is a radar form. The satellite receiver, which is a bit like a pot lid, is made of copper, which is actually the basic principle of acoustics: cover a large pot lid on the ground, and gradually shrink the channel through the horn mouth, so that the ground sound and movement are more captured into Colin's ears.
This is the most primitive sonar.
But there are not many people who can use this system well, including Colin, there are at most six or seven people in the Funing army who can master it well.
Because although the movement captured through this "sonar" system is much larger, it will also be very messy, and it requires a lot of experience and skill to judge accurately. For example, if you listen to Wang Yan, there are many rumbling noises that cannot be associated with the sound of horses' hooves, but it is another form of feedback of horses' hooves.
There is a specialization, and this is Colin's technique. He is the sonar staff officer in the volunteer team.
I heard that there were not many people, and the enemy was attacking. Now the morale is very bloody, so they all stopped the offensive, stopped resting, and made quick preparations, everyone wanted to fight another beautiful war of annihilation.
"Don't jump! Luck runs out. Da Yan began to pour cold water on everyone, "After they were demoralized and lost two encounters, they still dared to have a small formation enemy come to sneak attack?" The so-called abnormal things must have demons, if there are many people who come to the commander of Manba, I dare to fight. But now it can't be fought. β
Everyone began to look at each other.
Wang Yan said: "I judge: this is an elite from Zhuo Luolan's main camp, recuperating and recuperating, and the purpose is to bite our tired soldiers and harass us. If we do, we lose. Because they will not really fight with our troops, they will always follow us as a new force, and delay until the other corps are encircled, which is basically the end of our wait. On my orders, abandon all achievements in the construction of the bridge, and march to the west at a slow pace of ten knots. Adjust to the situation at any time, and make new responses at any time. β
It's a commotionβ
Having dropped everything, the maneuver began again.
Many people are a little unwilling, seeing that the bridge is a little shaped, and after some time, they will be able to cross the Huangshui in the light of tomorrow to repel this small number of enemy troops.
But under the cautious tactics of the Great Demon King, he had to give up, which was tantamount to declaring: The second crossing of the Huangshui by the Volunteer Army failed, and it was still at a disadvantage of exhaustion, facing the heavy round-up of the Zhuo Luolan Department.
"Will maneuvering westward fall into the net? After all, there are still two of the four corps deployed by Zhuo Luolan near the river, who knows what they are doing now? On the way to maneuver, Mu Guiying said worriedly.
Wang Yan said: "According to the development of the situation, since it is the fresh force of Zhuo Luolan's headquarters that has come, and the two corps have not pursued our army during the day, I judge that they are quite tired and have been harassed by the guerrillas, and they should now rest in the garrison. And the morale of our department has also gone through a short but effective rest, which is just the opportunity to 'favor the Tiger Mountain Tour', taking advantage of this time difference, interspersed at the most unlikely time at night, breaking through the encirclement of the Zhuo Luolan Department in the Anlong area in one fell swoop, opening up a new situation, and finding a new opportunity to cross the water. β
This is another god turning, Ma Jinxi and Mu Guiying feel that even Zhuo Luolan would not have imagined that the Great Demon King's brain hole is so big, and he will think of breaking through the gap between the two main forces of the other party in this state where he should be forced to cross the Huangshui and be tired, and in this most unexpected night.
Of course, there are risks, and you will only know if you succeed. But now, as of today, no one is qualified to deny the Great Demon King militarily, and everyone's confidence in him is basically indelible......
Yelu Hongji has ascended the throne, and it can be seen how the situation in the world will change in the future, for the time being, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.
Now as a diplomatic ambassador, Sima Guang is still stranded in Liao, and I don't know if his diplomacy will have any results, only Wang Gongchen knows: Sima Guang will not make achievements, that scholar is not a politician at all, not a dirty insider, and he has no understanding of the past and present life of many events.
So now the attention of the entire Great Song Dynasty is focused on the Hehuang battlefield that is related to the interests of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's already late September, and it stands to reason that the volunteer army should have been put into the Hehuang battlefield?
However, due to the long distance and inconvenient communication, there is no clear military report yet. The last news that everyone knows: Wang Yan's troops did not arrive at the Qinfeng Road Jishi Army for reorganization as expected, that is to say, when the troops were insufficient, he crossed the Yellow River with his old team Funing Army and entered the dangerous war zone.
Now, according to known information, the strategic situation in the Ha Huang region has not been eased and looks like a pill scene.
Whether it is the government or the opposition, everyone is worried, and they are all concerned about the evolution of the situation in this war that is closely related to the Great Song Dynasty. It's a pity that we can only hear the news of the annihilation of the guerrillas and the slaughter of their villages.
"Although the flood in Bianjing has receded and there has been no food crisis as imagined, the situation is not good. The capital simply has no spare capacity to assist the Hehuang region. β
"Yes, in this situation, the Great Demon King has brought the Funing Army into the battlefield to fight a decisive battle with Western Xia, but there is no news for a long time, which makes people worry!"
"No matter what, God bless Da Song to get through this difficulty. Although I shouted slogans all day long and feared that the Song Dynasty would become the biggest loser, it was just an itchy mouth, in fact, most people knew that once the volunteer army lost, no one was a winner. β
"It doesn't matter what God does, the slogan that the Great Demon King likes is: Man will conquer the sky."
β¦β¦
In late September, when the people were full of worries and discussions, the first military newspaper from Hezhou finally arrived at the imperial court.
When the messenger soldier with the 800-mile stepping up talisman arrived at the Privy Council, there was no one and they were all holding a court meeting, so he ran to the court hall out of breath and handed over the military report to Han Qi with his own hands.
Han Qi, who had suffered the defeat of Haoshuichuan and knew what it was like to lose, took the military newspaper with his hand shaking, and forcibly calmed down and looked at the military newspaper, still a little shaky, his eyes were complicated, and he was a little excited.
"I'll read it."
Fu Bi took the military newspaper and began to read: "In early September, the volunteers who had not undergone reorganization and were not fully cavalry crossed the Yellow River and entered the war zone, and on September 11, the first water crossing failed, but the Qingfang Division of the Third Corps of the Southern Army Division was disabled, and by the first victory in the Huangshui encounter, our army suffered less than 1 percent of the battle losses. By the afternoon of 13 September, the second Huangshui encounter was a great victory, and the Nantong secret department of the Second Corps of the Henan Army Division was repulsed, but after the war to the night, the situation changed, and the second crossing of Huangshui was declared a failure, and had no choice but to maneuver westward. β
"By 15 September, under circumstances unexpected by the enemy, the Volunteer Army Headquarters went west along the Huangshui line, successfully interspersed from the defense area of the two main corps of the Southern Army Division, highlighting the encirclement of Zhuo Luolan's division in the Anlong area, and thus the Volunteer Army Headquarters opened up a new situation to the west......"
The military report has not yet been read, but it is surprisingly quiet in the main hall here, and everyone's eyes are blue.
This impossible situation appeared, and Fu Bi and Han Qi, who knew the army at the beginning, judged: If Wang Yan can reach the Jishi Army in mid-September, it will be considered a fast march. If we can quickly reorganize and pull out the first main force that can barely fight to enter the Hehuang area, not suffer defeat, and stabilize the precarious situation, we will be the heroes.
But he crossed the Yellow River in early September under almost impossible circumstances, and fought to nourish the war, and won two great victories in the Huangshui encounter, although the two Huangshui crossings failed, but in the case of extreme exhaustion, the divine turn was interspersed, and successfully highlighted the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Zhuo Luolan Department, opening up a new situation?
Awesome!
Some of the officials who met Wang Yan also had complicated expressions, looked tangled, and stopped talking.
Even if they have different minds, as a community of interests, no one wants their country's military to be defeated.
Not to mention, Sima Guang, who has always been the most anti-Wang Yan, is the person who benefited the most this time, saying that he is a diplomatic ambassador who is stupid and has a lot of money and does not understand the situation, who is he in Liao. But with this record of the god of the gods, you can think with your toes that as the ambassador representing the Great Song Dynasty, Sima Guang's treatment will immediately change differently.
Face is certainly not given by anyone, it must be fought through the army.
"Ahem, don't be distracted, there's still a military report."
Fu Bi continued to read: "The Volunteer Army Department continued to march westward, and on September 19 to the first line of Suiyuan Pass, the three crossings of Huangshui were declared a failure. Due to the pursuit of the two corps of Zhi and the Southern Army, the situation in Suiyuan Pass was relatively unfavorable to the mobility of our volunteers, and the rear was also blocked by a river, and the depth was extremely limited. After many tug-of-wars between the two armies, there were mutual victories and defeats, and our army suffered nearly one percent of the battle losses, and two hundred soldiers were killed in the Suiyuanguan area! β
Pills!
At this point, everyone is worried again, this should be the normal state of war, how can it be dominated by the gods everywhere.
Even Han Qi didn't have time to look at the back, so he lost his voice and said: "It's dangerous now, I am familiar with that area, once I am trapped on the front line of Suiyuan Pass, it is a natural pocket, and the depth is almost lost." β
Fu Bi then read: "In order to successfully encircle our Volunteer Army, Zhuo Luolan took great pains, fought many times, and carried out effective troop deployment many times, and finally gathered 13,000 heavy troops to trap our Volunteer Army Headquarters in the triangle of Suiyuan Pass and Shaankou Fort. The offensive and defensive battles of Shaankou Fort were tug-of-war for two days, and there were victories and defeats for each other. β
At the same time that the Volunteer Army pinned down the main force of the Zhuo Luolan Department on the front line of Suiyuan Pass, Di Yong organized many large-scale harassment battles, and always attacked the Western Xia and Southern Army Commanders in the Anlong area. In view of the fact that the main force of the Anlong front line was attacked by more and more guerrillas, and there was a tendency to eventually evolve into a large-scale battle, the grain and grass of the Western Xia army were in danger, so Zhuo Luolan had no choice but to personally lead the army to support the Anlong line. In this way, Wang Yan's troops broke through the encirclement from Suiyuan Pass again, broke out of the enemy's encirclement for the second time, and re-maneuvered to the east. β
"At this time, Wang Yan sent an army report to Di Yong's department to complain about the battlefield situation, believing that the time was basically ripe for the guerrillas' general offensive and that they could fully activate harassment tactics."
By 28 September, nearly 40 guerrilla units on the southern Huangshui front had been dispatched in an all-round way to contain and harass the three main forces of the Henan Army in Maochuan, Anlong, Suiyuanguan, and other areas. In this battlefield situation, on September 30, Wang Yan's troops seized the opportunity to cross the Huangshui on the front line of Ledu. β
"So far, the soldiers of the Volunteer Army have suffered 300 casualties, and they have broken through before crossing the Huangshui River four times, and in the course of many battles, a total of more than 5,000 people have been annihilated by the Zhuo Luolan Division."
Divine machine!
This is no longer a blockbuster, although everyone's minds are different, and the degree of liking and disliking is different. However, the Volunteer Army, which was supposed to send troops from the Jishi Army to intervene in late September, had already crossed the Yellow River to fight seven local battles in the same time, broke through several times from the heavy encirclement of the Henan Army Division, and finally crossed the Huangshui River, effectively annihilating more than 5,000 enemy troops!
Han Qi and Wang Anshi's hands trembled with excitement, and they couldn't even say words of cheering and praise for a while.
As the two ministers of the Privy Council, Wang Anshi and Han Qi knew better than anyone how much the Great Song Dynasty desperately needed exciting news of victory.
At the earliest, everyone knew that the Western Xia cavalry was known as invincible, more elite than the Liao cavalry, and it was Wang Yan, a kid, who personally played the side ball and sold the flintlock pistol to the Western Xia. At that time, everyone was praying psychologically: as long as they don't lose, barely maintain the balanced situation in the Hehuang area, support this winter, and wait for the grain situation in the Great Song Dynasty to improve in the coming year, they can invest in a larger volunteer army.
If it can be used for two to three years to hold on, the logistics of the Western Xia Expeditionary Force will be a rare military achievement since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.
This is what everyone thought at that time, including Han Qi and Wang Anshi.
But the fruits of the battle are too mysterious, in that dark cloud covered the top of the situation, Wang Yan had no choice but to surprise the troops, give up the plan of reorganizing the Jishi Army of nearly 20,000 forbidden troops, do not fight slow and clumsy positional warfare, but should fight a sports war with more than 2,000 elites, in a mere month's time, they marched back and forth left and right for a total of 3,000 miles, several times from the heavy encirclement of the Southern Army Division, many local battles and annihilation of countless enemies, even by them to save more than 2,000 main forces, successfully crossed the Huangshui?
"Giving birth to a son should be like a god, Wang Anshi, you gave birth to a good son." Han Qi and Fu Bi are not touting now, but sincerely praising Wang Anshi.
This made Lao Wang a little embarrassed, and it was difficult to step down. Wang Anshi's urine is: I am most afraid that others will praise my son in front of me.
In any case, at this point, the gloomy atmosphere that permeated the imperial court was almost swept away......
