And so it begins, bumper bumper bumper bumper -

In this small cavalry arena, flintlock pistols began to breathe fire everywhere.

It is true that it has not yet entered the best killing situation, and the flintlock pistol cluster cannot talk about the coercion of the Western Xia army, but the Western Xia war horses are more sensitive to the sound of gunfire, and now the scene of nearly 6,000 cavalry seesawing and beacon fire company camps has a particularly great impact on the war horses of the Western Xia army.

Although it is not the best killing effect, as people in the Western Xia army keep getting shot and falling off their horses in the tug-of-war, if this situation is only for a moment, it will naturally have little impact, but if it continues, even if the Western Xia army has a relatively deep cavalry foundation, it will not be able to stop the increasingly chaotic reality.

The originally relatively neat pace and military formation became more and more scattered, and the overall speed of the corps began to decline.

Rao is Nantong secret heart is higher than the sky, deeply influenced by Zhuo Luolan, but the so-called command is like an arm, that only exists in legends, and now the situation of this beacon company camp has almost no effective command of the panicked and tired Xixia Corps.

Now it seems that in order to control the battle losses, the Song army does not approach, does not engage with each other in short distances, always maintains high mobility, and uses especially long-range flintlock pistol group shooting and kite fighting tactics.

As far as Nantong Mi is concerned, it is impossible to fight hard again, because Nantong Mi has taken measures for this opportunity from the very beginning, and in the current situation, it is difficult to even achieve effective command behavior.

Indeed, now the conservative fighting method adopted by Wang Yan's troops in order to effectively control the battle damage, so that they can only maintain maneuver and rob at a safe distance, the battle damage caused by this is actually not large, even if they fire all the salvos, the damage caused by more than 2,000 bullets may not exceed 100.

However, what is fatal lies in the fact that the situation of not being able to catch up, run away, and fight, and still be tired of troops will deteriorate rapidly until it will drag down the morale of the entire corps.

At that time, the Qingfang Department was a flintlock unit, and they could not complete the loading of the war horse in the run. That is to say, the Qingfang Department is basically a wave, and after a round of salvo causes the battle damage of the Tubo people and disturbs the morale of the army, it is a short-handed encounter.

But technology is everything. Wang Yan's troops can complete the charge in the galloping of war horses, albeit slowly.

Because of the current tug-of-war, Nantong secretly discovered that the charge of the Song army was not like the Tangut people who poured gunpowder into it, they had a special "gunpowder paper bag", which should be a special flammable paper, and the entire paper bag was stuffed into the barrel of the gun and pressed to the end with the bullet. In addition to being fast, the amount of gunpowder at a time is also very constant, which does not lead to a lack of power, nor does it lead to excessive power and explosion.

Judging from the current situation on the battlefield, Song Jun's gunpowder paper bag is already a black technology, and the probability of dumb fire is almost negligible.

When Nantong Mi was thinking about these quickly, the situation on the cavalry battlefield was also changing rapidly, and until now, in addition to the battle losses that have been generated, the army's heart has almost collapsed, and it has basically been completely controlled by the Song army relying on horse speed, and the Western Xia army has basically fallen into a situation of being encircled.

It is difficult for the cavalry in the high-speed maneuver to be killed and injured in a large area, but now it is basically completely surrounded by the Song army relying on the terrifying horse speed, which means that the largest killing surface is exposed to the guns of the Song army, and from now on it will be the time for the battle damage to rise rapidly.

For a general, a corps, defeat was a common occurrence. It's a pity that the example of Huangshui's first encounter is in the past, and dying in such a defeat is as light as a feather, and it can't be understood and valued by the goddess commander Zhuo Luolan at all, and there is no spirit at all, and it will become a negative example that affects the morale of the entire Western Xia army.

Originally, it was supposed to be the Song army that had been tired and cowardly, and could not use horses, but now, Nantong Mi watched them gradually complete the net of heaven and earth on this local battlefield, and his own corps was losing a little depth.

When the Song State has such an army and such a commander, not to mention those legendary black technologies, what will happen in the future Nantong Mi dare not think, now the only hope is to be lucky, waiting for the rescue of the Western Corps. This process may be short or long, who knows?

In all fairness, as a weak scholar, Wang Yan still felt very bloody when he personally witnessed such a large cavalry tug-of-war in broad daylight.

And as Wang Yan thought, Song Jun's war horse has been rested, and now it is like the chicken blood i5 processor that gives enough power consumption interface, so correspondingly, now the Nantong secret department is like enough "overheating and frequency reduction", and the power consumption is reduced to ten wattsii7 processor.

It was only the beginning of the tug-of-war between the two cavalry troops, and the favorable degree of the situation greatly exceeded Wang Yan and Mu Guiying's assumptions, which made Wang Yan see the possibility of completely annihilating the Nantong Secret Corps.

The enemy should be treated in a dark, insidious and cruel way, and try to maximize the profits of war.

However, there is a question that must be faced: if the tactics are temporarily adjusted to fight "total annihilation", will there be enough time?

Judging from the current battlefield situation, battles have begun everywhere, and the two closest Western Xia corps to the west have been dragged by the theater guerrillas.

Then it was a turning point, Wang Yan is not a god, I don't know how many troops they invested in the guerrillas' "ants gnawing elephant tactics"? How long can you hold two mobile corps?

At the same time, how will Zhuo Luolan, who has the main force on the front line of Anlong, be deployed?

The variables are so large that they are almost impossible to analyze when combined, but it is an act of pressing the size.

Since everything is right and wrong, the smartest way is to carry out the original plan: give up the total annihilation and defeat it......

Bumper Bumper Bumper –

Since the start of the war, the degree of the Song army's gunfire has been greatly reduced, and the initial estimate is that the battle damage of the Nantong secret department is not light, I am afraid that it is close to two percent.

Obviously, once the battle damage reaches 30%, it is the threshold for the collapse of the army's morale, and at that time, the army will be defeated like a mountain, and the entire army may be completely annihilated.

Of course, Nantong Mi understands people, since there is a possibility of losing everything, there is also the possibility of turning the tables, which is called the opposite of things. If you resist to the death, although there is a possibility of being completely annihilated, there is also a chance to drag the Song army into a tired army, and wait for the two mobile corps in the west to rescue, then it will be replaced, and it is Wang Yan's troops who have exhausted their horsepower to face the possibility of being completely annihilated.

So now Nantong Mi is facing a choice: the so-called surrender loses half, and the local defeat is a foregone conclusion, taking advantage of the fact that the battle damage has not reached the threshold and there is still a chance to break through to the death, just approach the corps in the west, and it is expected that Wang Yan will not dare to chase.

If you grit your teeth and support it, it is possible to wait for the rescue of two mobile legions, but it is also possible that you can't wait for one of the farts and be hung up and beaten at the same time?

"Forget it, I'm not afraid that there will be no firewood in Qingshan, and although it is a shame to lose the soldiers and flee, I and the Southern Military Division can bear such a loss, and it is also in line with Lan Shuai's guidance."

After making the decision to surrender and lose half, the Nantong secret people sounded the clarion call to retreat and break through at any cost.

Toot –

After the low and strong horn sounded, although there was local chaos in the Western Xia cavalry regiment, it was very active in escaping, and their profound riding skills also allowed them to quickly adjust their direction, change their formation, and drag their tired horses towards the west with all their might.

Bumper Bumper –

The cavalry of the Volunteer Army, which was free and maintained a long-range attack, was like a U-shaped lassoness of the Type I, and continued to chase the I-type team of Nantong Mi to fight fiercely, although it was limited to cavalry tactics and gunfire could not be done quickly, but it always maintained a certain degree of damage to the Xixia Corps, and it was precisely these injuries that also suppressed the bow and arrow counterattack in the Xixia Legion.

If you have enough time and are willing to pay a certain price for battle damage, although the battle has been going on for a while, you can still surpass the besieged with a large advantage in horsepower.

However, Wang Yan did not dare to gamble and did not dare to risk the loss of the mobility of the volunteers. So after the order, toot doot -

The military horn of the volunteer army with different melodies sounded, which represented "poor people do not chase".

The response was very fast and very disciplined, and the cavalry of the Song army began to abandon the pursuit, slowing down to a jogging run, saving horsepower.

"Hey!" Ma Jinsi, who was pulling the war horse into a trotting circle, sighed: "I'm really unwilling, my department has the ability to eat them, but in this way, they broke through, which didn't even cripple, only injured them." Isn't Xianggong's consistent tactics based on 'it's better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers'? ”

Wang Yan ordered the rapid collection of usable war horses left on the battlefield, and said, "Don't scream, be able to apply it flexibly, not by rote. Really made a heavy bet and cut off Zhuo Luolan's finger, which is cool, but this is not a decisive battle, that is to say, even if it is completely annihilated, it will not be able to change the strategic situation of the southern front battlefield in a short period of time. On the contrary, it is possible to exhaust our army's mobility capability, which is the first lifeline of our army at present, and once lost, the consequences are unimaginable. The impact is not only as simple as the Hehuang battlefield, if our volunteer army is defeated, the Hehuang region will be fully controlled by the Tangut people, and it may even trigger a full-scale attack by the Xixia army on the border of our Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Don't focus on immediate profits, take a long-term view, how big the heart is, how great the achievement is." Wang Yan began to swear again.

"Victory!"

In view of the almost zero battle losses in this battle, only a dozen or so sergeants were injured in the legs by the opponent's sporadic bows and arrows due to poor control, so the morale was even stronger, and the whole army shouted in response.

Not to mention the confidence in the Great Demon King, it has already reached its peak.

At that time, he was an out-and-out tired soldier, and he had to follow the Great Demon King quickly across the Yellow River into the war zone, which was a state of walking on thin ice, and the goal was just to survive. But now that the two Huangshui encounters have won great victories and the results are brilliant, everyone here has a grand goal, and they have seen the majestic future situation of the battlefield in a trance.

From now on, there is no need for Da Yan to brainwash them with chicken blood words, including Mu Guiying, they all feel that for soldiers, the experience of these two battles and the strategic significance produced by them have been considered complete, and they can be regarded as a magnificent military career.

All of this is because of the great Song Dynasty, recalling that when Shuzhou and this team were formed, Wang Yan, who was only a ten-year-old boy at that time, said wildly: To be a soldier, I have to follow the young master to have a future!

That's not empty words, in fact, the Great Demon King is more hateful than anyone else, but so far, he has basically never said empty words, and he has really fulfilled it.

"All the way to the east, you can't stop. Go back to square one and look for an opportunity to cross the river. ”

Da Yan's mind was not hot, and after quickly recovering the war horse resources that could be recovered, he didn't even want grain and grass, burned it, and slowly maneuvered to the east again.

Wang Yan didn't know how much time he had, but he couldn't be nervous, the war horse that had just gone through a violent tug of war could no longer run or stay. At this time, all the personnel dismounted, reduced the burden of the horse, and then ran slowly, which belongs to "restorative stretching and relaxation".

With regard to military rations, there is not much left of the compressed military rations that are convenient to carry, and they are still enough for about eight days.

This time, Wang Yan's troops did not take away the dry food carried by the Tangut people, because the quality of their grain and grass was too poor and the size was too large to be carried by the super-mobile troops.

The advantage is that the quality of forage in the Hehuang area is good, and allowing the war horses to eat a part of the grass can save a lot of fighters' rations, but the disadvantage is that the horse's liver reserves are more limited than that of people, and if the full nutrition of the military food is not replenished for too long, the horsepower will continue to decrease.

Therefore, if the purpose is really to maneuver and horsepower is king, I am afraid that at a certain time it will have to be replaced, and the sergeants will eat grass and the war horses will eat food.

Living here, the situation of the volunteer army is not optimistic, and it must cross the Huangshui River within eight to ten days, go north along the Datong River, and at the boundary of the Datong River, it can obtain compressed military rations from Lanzhou, the administrative region of the Song State.

This process is risky. But this happened to be a reason why Wang Yan's troops had to cross the Huangshui, because the man in the northern front theater was a mallet, and he liked to concentrate his troops and pull them around to kill people. Then as a super-mobile unit, it is much easier to avoid the main force of Manba.

If she stays in the Southern District, Zhuo Luolan is much more obscene than Baa, she not only has the cooperation of the "puppet army" in the Southern District now, but she is not pedantic, and will divide her troops to attack to a certain extent. Including the policy of strangling the Song army and the Song merchant army that appeared in the Hehuang area, she also set it.

Technically, then, it is much easier to maneuver and get supplies in the Northern Front Theater than in the Zoloran Theater, and the difficulty is not an order of magnitude at all.

Just because Zhuo Luolan is a smart person, and Manba is a ruthless person.

Keeping enough caution, the volunteers marched slowly until it was getting dark, and there was no obvious pursuit movement in the rear.

Wang Yan believes that there are only two explanations for this situation:

First, the scale of the campaign launched by the guerrillas in the west was greater than expected, and it dragged down the two mobile corps in the western region to a certain extent.

The second is: the Western Xia Corps maneuvered for days and rounded up Wang Yan's department, and got the news of the defeat of the Nantong secret department in the second encounter, physically and mentally exhausted and demoralized, without Zhuo Luolan's clear instructions, they did not know the whereabouts of Wang Yan's department, and now they stopped chasing and chose to rest.

"The enemy is tired and I move. The opportunity has come, if you are lucky, this night is the time for our volunteer corps to cross the Huangshui! ”

At this point, Wang Yan changed his plan again, returned to the Minhe area where he had come, ordered the horse war to rest, and the soldiers began to assault and repair the bridge.

The funny thing is that this bridge repair site is the place where the first Huangshui encounter and the defeat of the Qingfang Department were made, and the last bridge repair offensive started at a start, and then gave up and maneuvered, but that beginning is still there and has not been destroyed.

When darkness came, the war horses of the Funing Army relaxed and rested with the help of the equestrian team, and the combat part was divided into two shifts, half of which were napped and rested according to the traditional military regulations and technical requirements of the Funing Army, and the other half were repaired. And then there will be a rotation around the same time.

There's no way, for the time being, I can only pull like this......
