Now that the Western Xia army is hesitating and withstanding the expense, Wang Yan, who is holding the river position, is not worried.

Now relying on the strengthened version of the flintlock pistol of the Song Kingdom, and using the body of the war horse as a positional defense, it is true that the battle damage is very small, but the loss rate of the war horse is not small.

Of course, Wang Yan knew that if there was no war horse on this Hehuang Plain, it would be equivalent to no legs. This continues to tug of war, relying on the flintlock pistol combat method that has been practiced to almost perfection, it is indeed possible to drag the Qingfang Department to cripple, but when it really comes to that time, Wang Yan's war horse is estimated to not be much left, and once the battle cannot be ended within the specified time, when the rest of the legions join the battle, there is no war horse, then kneel.

"Xianggong, it's not a way to drag it out like this, do you want to start the next tactical plan?" Chen Ergou beside him said nervously.

"The time is not ripe yet, if Mu Guiying's troops are put into battle now, this is not the plan I want, continue to wear it down, there will always be a party that can't hold its breath." Wang Yan said.

So I continued to fight.

The battle that had been raging for nearly two quarters of an hour had now begun.

On the river position, the war horses of the volunteers are becoming more and more uncontrollable, and the horses are frightened and kicked, although Colin's team is trying their best to control the horses, there is still a tendency to become more and more chaotic.

At the same time, the situation of the Western Xia Qingfang Legion was not good, and more and more war horses and sergeant corpses were piled up on the way, which made it more and more difficult for them to maintain a mobile cycle of sprints, and the impact on morale was increasing.

The more the horses' maneuver is restricted, the greater the gap between them and the Song army's flintlock pistol after they lose their acceleration.

It was indeed a showdown of morale and patience.

In the end, the Qing side couldn't hold its breath, and so far the battle damage has been more than 10%. So the Qing side ordered to stop maneuvering. The guerrilla cavalry was infantry, and adopted a similar tactic as Wang Yan's department, using the body of a war horse as a cover, and gradually advanced to the Song army's river position.

In this way, the opportunity was officially announced.

Toot Toot Toot –

The trumpet of the charge on the Song army's river position was officially sounded, which was tantamount to activating the established tactics.

After the ambush troops, who were nearly a mile away, heard the charge of the dirt and slag, General Mu Guiying, who had already been gearing up, took the lead in getting on his horse and gave the last simple order: "At this time, it will be a simple battle against the water." When the enemy dismounts and loses mobility, there is a time lag to start again, and this is the only chance for our army. The time left for our division to fight is a maximum of a quarter of an hour from now on. Remember: the tactical goal is to cripple the target legion, not to annihilate it completely. After the defeat, the poor did not pursue, and quickly collected the war horses and military rations left by the enemy to provide conditions for the next maneuver of our volunteers. ”

"Swear to follow Mu Shuai to the death!" The six battalions, which were the new force, shouted in unison.

"Assault!"

Mu Guiying took the lead in attacking, with the help of the small slope of the hills, and only entered a similar state after only two accelerations, and now such a tactic does not require maximum horse speed.

Because when the charge was heard from the river, it meant that Wang Yan's tactics were successful, and the Western Xia had lost its mobility......

In the darkness, the moment the sudden new force was thrown into the river battlefield, the last trace of the Qingfang Department's fighting spirit and military spirit disappeared.

It came too fast and fiercely, and most of the Western Xia troops didn't even have a chance to remount their horses.

Bumper Bumper Bumper Bumper –

You can only see flintlock pistols spitting fire everywhere at night, and it is a close-range shot with acceleration.

Now, the Qing side is simply unable to control the chaos of the internal military formation, and it is impossible to estimate how much damage it has suffered, because the military formation has begun to split, and the fleeing ones are still entangled and colliding with each other in the escape, some to the east and some to the west.

Mu Guiying's department was almost at close range this time, and there was no need for a four-stage shot.

After a wave of 1,500 flintlock muskets set fire and caused chaos in the Western Xia army, there was no need to care about the specific battle damage, the next thing was to maintain the cavalry maneuver, draw the knife and wander around, and surround and kill the scattered and broken Western Xia soldiers.

The poor did not chase, but the stragglers who withdrew from the battle circle and fled did not care, and concentrated on strangling the remaining ones in order to further defeat the hearts of the Western Xia army.

At the same time, Wang Yan's department, which was defending the river position, began to order to advance the strangulation on the horse, and the front and rear strangulation was officially formed.

The night battle lasted until the second and third quarters, and basically ended, the general of the Western Xia army, Qingfang, was killed, and the sergeants under his command were completely disabled, more than half of the battle was damaged, and the rest were scattered and fled.

There were many corpses of people and horses scattered near the river, and the casualties of the Wang Yanbu volunteers were negligible so far, and their morale was high.

Although he failed to completely annihilate the Qingfang Corps, he fought at night in the case of fatigue and achieved amazing results.

From the battlefield where the enemy army was defeated, hundreds of remnants of war horses were obtained as supplements.

The most important thing is that, despite the failure of the first water crossing plan, the first brilliant victory belonging to the Funing army was won. When I came, there was also a battalion of infantry phalanxes, but now in addition to being an all-cavalry lineup, there are more war horses, which can be rotated and supplemented to a certain extent.

A little more than two or three minutes, the military formation of the Funing Army was quickly concentrated again, and Wang Yan quickly swore at night: "Don't be carried away by the victory, the victory of the night battle in Huangshui has just begun, our volunteer army is still in a state of fatigue, and the southern front of Huangshui is still at a disadvantage." The endless expedition has begun, and our troops must survive in the cracks, and we must look for opportunities to cross the river in effective movement. ”

"Swear to chase Xianggong to break through!" The sergeants all stood upright.

"There was no time to rest, not even to loot the remaining loot. If the rest of the legions are coming, we will move westward as fast as possible, and gradually break away from the encirclement of the Zoloran Division. ”

After saying that, Wang Yan led the horse army to the west overnight, drowning in the night......

"Newspaper—"

The pale face of the messenger soldier ran into the Zhuo Luolan Shuai tent in the Za'anlong area, and said breathlessly: "Bao Lan Shuai, last night the second watch was in the Huangshui River on the first line of Minhe, and the Qingfang General Department encountered the Song Volunteer Army led by Wang Yan Mu Guiying, and there was a fierce battle......

Without listening to the news, Zhuo Luolan changed his body and walked to the side of the military map with his entourage, his beautiful eyes fixed on the Minhe area.

The little soldier took a breath before he finished speaking: "The result is: the Qingfang general's headquarters was defeated, more than fifty percent of the battle losses were almost disabled, and in the melee, the Qingfang general was killed. ”

For a while, the tent was so quiet that it could be heard that the needle was falling. Everyone, including Zhuo Luolan, was all shocked.

Everyone's faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to say anything wild for a while.

This is the form of the legendary "Divine Machine", it is this person, Lan Shuai was careful and careful with him, and warned and warned his subordinates: he cannot fight a decisive battle without superior forces, and the purpose is to prevent him from crossing the Huangshui, and he cannot be delusional to annihilate at one time!

Zhuo Luolan's subordinates may be a little arrogant, but militarily they are all well-informed people from a hundred battles. More detailed reports from the messengers, in the encounters between the people and the people, regardless of morale, discipline, quality, equipment, luck, and tactics, Wang Yan has been exerted to the point where it is almost impossible to do.

Including Zhuo Luolan herself, she knew early on that Wang Yan's troops were not easy to mess with, and even more terrifying than Di Qing's elite, but she still didn't expect it to come to this point.

Because in the follow-up detailed report, there were less than 30 corpses of the Song army left by the Huangshui in the Minhe area.

At the cost of less than thirty casualties, Wang Yan's troops crippled the musketeers of the Qingfang Division!

"Okay, you Wang Yan...... You stabbed me hard today, and I will have a good reward for Zhuo Luolan in the future! ”

Muttering to himself, Zhuo Luolan slammed his fist on the table, and then said dejectedly: "Blame me, I have been careful again and again, but I still underestimate his strength to a certain extent." ”

The subordinates hurriedly relieved: "How can this be blamed on Lan Shuai, in terms of tactical deployment, you have already considered his terrible points, asked the four regiments to link, and asked not to fight a decisive battle easily, your tactical request is only to prevent him from crossing the Huangshui, not to rush to annihilate." If you look at it from this point, in addition to the stubbornness of the idiots of the Qing Fang, your tactical plan has also been carried out on the whole: Wang Yan's troops have failed to cross the Huangshui as scheduled, and have failed to relieve the pressure of the guerrillas on the northern front. ”

Speaking of which, in the first Huangshui encounter, the battle damage of more than 1,000 of the Western Xia Army was indeed not a pain in the bones for the entire Henan Military Division, but Zhuo Luolan felt that his thoughts were not clear, and his sturdy chest fell together due to heavy breathing, and his teeth were clenched.

This means that he has really met a god opponent, and at the same time, he has a lot of pig teammates on his side.

Judging from the details of the Minhe encounter, it was not that the gods were so powerful that they reached the sky, but that the Qingfang did not listen to the persuasion and made peace, which led to the fiasco of the first Huangshui encounter.

Zhuo Luolan is confident that if the ultimate tactical goal is only to "prevent the divine machine from crossing the Huangshui", the first Huangshui encounter is actually not difficult to fight, but unfortunately, a battle that is not difficult to fight was ruined by the Qing Fang......

A general said again: "Lan Shuai, don't think about the defeat of the Minhe Campaign, it's not that I and the Southern Army Division are incompetent, it's that the enemy is too cunning." ”

"......" Zhuo Luolan said with a strange expression: "Good words, you are a talent." However, the phrase 'It's not that I'm incompetent, but the enemy is too cunning' can only be Ben's rhetoric to the man, not your rhetoric to me. ”

In order to ease up, another general hurriedly pointed to the map and said, "Lan Shuai, please see, although our army suffered a defeat in the Minhe Campaign, the Qingfang Department also sent a fireworks signal during the battle. The positions of the other three corps deployed along the river from our side are also based on the Anlong area, where the main force of our army is located......"

On the one hand, the general drew an arc on a small area of the map with his horsewhip, and continued: "Now it seems that Wang Yan's division is still in our local encirclement, and the top priority is not to dwell on the defeat of the Qingfang Division, but to deploy cautiously, shrink the encirclement, and never let Wang Yan's department break through the encirclement of our army's Anlong area." ”

Zhuo Luolan took a deep breath, knowing that he was right, but it was easier said than done.

Will Wang Yan really maneuver westward and take the initiative to enter the encirclement set up by our Western Xia legion north of Anlong? This point is more likely to be judged by Zhuo Luolan, but not absolutely, because no one knows what he thinks.

Zhuo Luolan looked at the map and pondered: the purpose of the Divine Machine is to cross the Huangshui, and this point has been basically determined. Theoretically, then, if he wants to cross the river, he must maneuver along the Huangshui and wait for an opportunity to cross the river. In this way, it is possible for him to enter the encirclement north of Anlong.

But after last night's Minhe encounter and the defeat of the Qingfang Division, he entered the maneuver and did not know where to go for the time being.

Until now, Zhuo Luolan's strategy of self-correction to win over the hearts of the people has had some results, and even one or two thousand locals have become the Western Xia auxiliaries in this area.

With the cooperation of these people, Zhuo Luolan also has an absolute superiority in troops, and it is possible to gradually deploy troops and dispatch troops in the extensive southern front theater, gradually limit Wang Yan's range of maneuver, and slowly shrink the encirclement.

But the biggest problem is that in this way, it means that the main force of the entire Henan Army Division is pinned down by an army of less than 3,000 people in Wang Yan's district and pulled around by others.

Once this situation is formed, it will be a strategic passivity, and the guerrillas in the southern district, which have been suppressed to a certain extent, will once again become vigorously active.

Now that the autumn harvest is still at the end, that is to say, after being dragged away by Wang Yan, a lot of grain and grass will be lost, and public opinion and the people's hearts in this area will slowly tilt towards Wang Yan again.

"Dilemma!"

Thinking of this, Zhuo Luolan slammed his fist on the table again.

In short, starting from the bloody policy that Manba engaged in in Huangzhou, he met Wang Yan again. This almost from the beginning of the game, it decided the passive situation of the entire Western Xia Expeditionary Legion.

This is the true interpretation of "those who win the hearts of the people win the world" in the works of Shen Jiyan. There are many people who like to put this sentence on their lips, but in Zhuo Luolan's opinion, the only person who really understands this sentence is the god wit......
