This time, Ji Kang and Lu Zhonglian came to the front line, but they did not make a noise, and took secrecy measures. Many soldiers in Liaodi did not know that their princes had come to the front line of Fanhan.

On 11 March, after Ji Kang, Rong Yi and others had formulated a strategy, they immediately summoned Navy Colonels Li Min and Zhang Tian to inquire about the navy and the situation of requisitioning merchant ships.

Now Li Min and Zhang Tian can be promoted to the position of colonel, which is very fast in the Liaodi army. However, it is also because the navy was only established a few years ago, and the newly built navy had to start from scratch and did not have too many general reserves, so Li Min and Zhang Tian were able to be promoted so quickly.

At this moment, Li Min and Zhang Tian were in the big tent, and they were reporting to Ji Kang and others: "Qi Qi Prince, now our navy has 52 warships of all sizes, with a total of more than 15,000 officers and men, and can undertake any naval battle and landing tasks behind enemy lines. ”

Then the two of them added: "And our naval officers and men, from top to bottom, are ready to participate in the battle at any time, and ask the prince for permission." Don't let me navy, only complete the tasks of transporting soldiers, food and grass, etc. These transportation tasks can be completely handed over to the requisitioned merchant ships to complete. ”

After listening to Li Min and Zhang Tian's words, Ji Kang heard this, looked at each other with Lu Zhonglian, Rong Yan and others, and laughed. It seems that the navy has not been allowed to participate in the war in the past few years, and the resentment is very deep! But this fighting spirit is exactly what Ji Kang needs.

Shi Kang next to him was also eager to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.

Ji Kang looked at Li Min and Zhang Tian, two young college graduates who had already taken on the heavy responsibility of the navy, and said to the two of them: "Li Min and Zhang Tian, I called you two here this time to reuse your navy to participate in the war. The specific generals and Wang Shi will arrange for you. ”

Rong Yan, the army next to him, heard Ji Kang say this, and said to Li Min and Zhang Tian: "This time in the battle with the Ji Kingdom, the navy has a heavy task. It can be said that it is related to the final result of this battle, and Admiral Wang Shi is responsible for the specifics, let him explain it to you. ”

Li Min and Zhang Tian, after listening to everyone's words, their eyes lit up.

Wang Shi stood up and said to Li Min and Zhang Tian: "Our navy and the merchant ships that have been requisitioned are full of soldiers, and how many people can be carried at one time. ”

Li Min and Zhang Tian looked at each other, and Zhang Tian nodded. Li Min knew that this was Zhang Tian asking him to report to Wang Shi.

Li Min hurriedly replied: "General Qiyu, the naval warships and the requisitioned merchant ships can carry at least more than 50,000 soldiers at one time. ”

Wang Shi walked to the side of the map and asked, "How long does it take to get from Fanhan to Huajinli?" ”

Li Min calculated in his heart and said to Wang Shi: "Four hours is enough." ”

Wang Shi nodded, and asked again, "Can you carry war horses?" ”

"General, it's totally possible."

Seeing this, Wang Shi laughed. looked at Ji Kang and Rong Worm, and both Ji Kang and Rong Worm nodded.

Wang Shi did not hesitate and said to Li Min and Zhang Tian: "This time the navy is under my command, and Li Min and Zhang Tian obey the order. ”

Li Min and Zhang Tian hugged their fists together and bowed to Wang Shi and said, "The last general will listen to the order." ”

"The two of you can return to the port of Fanhan and inspect the naval warships and the merchant ships to make sure there are no accidents. In a few days, I will personally lead the army to board the ship, and you two should go back and prepare now!" ”

Li Min and Zhang Tian didn't dare to slack off, and bowed down together and said, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

After Li Min and Zhang Tian left, Wang Shi said to Ji Kang: "Son, a certain general can lead the lieutenant generals Wang Busy and Zuo Zong to mobilize an army of 100,000 and go to the port of Fanhan, and our army can start a big battle as planned." ”

Ji Kang nodded, and said to General Rong Yan: "General Rong Yan, let's start as planned." ”

Rong Yan stood up, clenched his fists and said, "No." ”

On 13 March, the entire Liao army stationed in Fanhan, Xing'an, and even Baishan advanced together towards the Bashui River and Mazishui.

Seeing this, Gao Min, the commander of the army of the Ji Kingdom, knew that the war was about to begin. Ordered his generals to lead his troops to closely guard the defense line of the Beiba Water River and the Mazi Water River.

At the same time, Wang Shi led an army of 100,000 from Liaodi to the port of Fanhan.

On the morning of 16 March, the Ji army in the Xin'an defense line found that the Liao army had dispatched 100,000 troops and slowly pressed towards the defense line in the Xin'an area. The Ji Guo guard in the area of the Xin'an defense line was blonde and hurriedly sent someone to inform his coach Gao Min.

According to the advice of the soldiers, Gao Min knew that the land of Xin'an was the main direction of attack of the Liao army, and after receiving the warning, he hurried to Xin'an.

Rong Yi ascended to the command platform set up by the army and personally commanded the battle. And on a hill a few miles away from the army, Ji Kang and Lu Zhonglian watched the battle here, and did not play their own banner.

And the friends of Jikang Academy, except for Shi Kang who accompanied him, the rest of them, including Tian Guang, led the sergeants of the garrison battalion to guard around the mountain.

Ascending the mountain, Ji Kang took out the monoculars in his arms and looked at the Xin'an Defense Line. I saw that the entire defense line of the Kei Army was centered on Xin'an City and extended to both ends.

In particular, the high walls of Xin'an Fortress are thick, and the living water of the Beiba Water River is used as a moat, and the river is deep and wide, surrounding. Because he had never seen siege warfare in this era, and he didn't know what the specific combat strength of the Liao army was, Ji Kang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

After the Liao army reached the Xin'ancheng defense line of the Ji army, the large army did not begin to attack. Instead, more than 3,000 soldiers from a brigade were sent to the shouting array. This is the characteristic "fighting soldiers" of this era, in which the two sides send each other a considerable number of troops to fight in front of the battle, test each other's strength, and use this to weaken the morale of the other side.

This brigade dispatched by the Liao army this time had half of the sword and shield men and half of the pikemen.

Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army, stood on the wall of Xinyi City, looked at the more than 3,000 people of the Liao army, and saw the equipment of the Liao soldiers. It seems that the equipment of the Liao army is more sophisticated than the last time the Liao was attacked.

Gao Min said to Jin Fa, the defender of Xin'an City: "Send 3,000 of the most elite soldiers of our army to fight the soldiers." Tell the soldiers who are fighting that they must not demoralize our army. ”

The blonde slowly bowed and said, "No." ”

In less than a moment, I only heard a drum beat in Xin'an City, the city gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and more than 3,000 elite soldiers of the Ji army were killed from Xinyi City.

Lu Zhonglian, who was beside Ji Kang, was also looking out with a monocular in his hand, and when he saw this situation, he said to Ji Kang: "Childe, as expected, the Ji army sent troops to meet it. ”

The two sides of the fighting soldiers were lined up, and the venue where the two armies fought in front of the formation was silent at this moment. Almost at the same time, the drums of war were beaten on both camps at the same time, and the generals of the fighting soldiers on both sides shouted almost simultaneously: "Forward!" ”

Stepping on the drums, the soldiers of the two sides of the fighting soldiers all marched in neat steps, lined up in a rigorous military formation, and slowly moved towards each other.

After marching a certain distance, the soldiers on both sides shouted almost in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”。 Then, they rushed towards the opponent's military formation.

For a time, the flags flew and the war drums sounded. The soldiers of the two sides collided like a torrent. The soldiers on both sides shouted, fighting each other, blood splattered, the people in front fell, and the people in the rear kept filling in.

The most important thing for the fighting soldiers is that the military formation on their own side cannot be broken by the enemy. Once broken, the enemy can rely on the complete military formation to slaughter its own soldiers with impunity, and the consequences are unimaginable.

As both sides wrestled, both sides suffered injuries. However, the Liao army still relied on its own equipment superiority and gradually gained the upper hand. The number of people who have fallen in the Mini army is increasing.

On the hillside, Lu Zhonglian said to Ji Kang: "Childe, our army has won." ”

Ji Kang nodded, continued to look with a telescope in his hand, and did not speak. Finally, for the first time, I saw the cruelty of war in this era.

As the sergeants of the two armies fought in front of the battle, the war drums and drums of the two camps became more and more intensive.

The commander of the Ji army, who was standing at the head of Xin'an City, couldn't help but sigh when he saw more and more soldiers who had fallen. Knowing that his army had been defeated, the soldiers of the Liao army were so elite in equipment.

said to the guard next to him, the blonde hair: "Sound the gong, collect the troops!" ”

There was a gong at the head of Xin'an City, and the Ji army that went out to fight slowly retreated. Rong Rong, the general on the command platform, saw his own victory, and laughed: "Sound the gong to collect the troops and treat the wounded." ”

The Liao army camp cheered, and the Ji army, which stood on the Xin'an defense line, was dejected.

After the soldiers of the two sides broke out of contact, they sent sergeants to the camp of the Liao army to treat their wounded at the same time. The Kei army in Sinseong also sent sergeants to carry back the casualties of their own side.

According to the rules of this era, neither side can attack the other at this time.

Now the medical system of the Liao army has also made great progress this year. The use of alcohol, sterilized gauze, and simple spun wounds have been promoted according to the norms in the field hospitals of the Liao army.

Moreover, in the medical school under Xiangping College, with the strong support of the Junhou Mansion, "Ma Boiling San" has been developed, and with acupuncture technology, simple anatomy has been opened in the college. It can be said that the medicine of Liaodi, in this era, has been at the forefront of this era.

Immediately afterwards, the Liao army's large array was another drum sound, and more than 3,000 sergeants of another brigade came in formation, ready to fight with the Ji army.

Seeing this, Gao Min sighed again, and said slowly to the blonde next to him: "The Liao army relies on weapons and equipment to be better than our army, and constantly sends troops to fight in battle, so as to weaken the morale of our army, this is a yang strategy!" ”

Jin Fa, the defender of the Xin'an Defense Line, said to Gao Min: "General, what our army sent just now is already the most elite division in our Ji army, and it is still like this. Now that the enemy continues to challenge, will our army still send troops to meet it? ”

Coach Gao Min pondered for a moment, shook his head, and continued to blonde hair: "The Liao army will challenge again, our army will no longer attack, and we must not act at the pace of the enemy army. ”

The blonde nodded slowly, clenched his fists and said, "No." ”

What Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army, did not know was that at this moment, the first batch of 50,000 Liao troops had boarded the ship in Fanhan and sailed towards Huajinli, the rear of the Ji country.
