"Won the war, the first encounter between the Song Volunteer Army Department and Yu Huangshui was very accurate, and in less than an hour, it disabled the Qingfang Musket Corps, which had repeatedly performed miraculous feats!"

"I heard that after the Volunteer Army beat the remnants of the Green Fang Corps, they began to move westward."

"Not to the west, but to the east."

"Not to the east, but to the south."

"Don't guess, you can guess that he has already lost. He's so great that you can't guess it. At that time, the most talked about was that the Funing Army led by him could not reach the border for reorganization until mid-September at the earliest, and it would not be until the end of September before it could be officially put into the Hehuang battlefield to relieve the pressure of the guerrillas. But you can't imagine that he actually crossed the Yellow River in early September, left Ningchuan quickly, and won the first encounter in Huangshui, crippling the Qingfang Department in one fell swoop. The name of the god machine is well deserved! ”

The news spread quickly, and the battle report of the first encounter in Huangshui quickly spread in the Hehuang area, which made the pressure on the guerrillas operating in the whole area and the people who were expecting Wang Shi lighter, and the morale and confidence were initially stabilized.

As a result, the guerrillas on the southern front of Huangshui became more active.

Although he did not formally join the division with Wang Yan's department, Di Yong, who was at a similar pace of thinking and was now the "chief political commissar" of the Huangshui Southern Front Theater, had already seen the opportunity, and was not in a hurry to join Wang Yan's division, and began to do his best to connect the guerrillas of various units to carry out activities.

Di Yong knew that the real strategy of the Great Demon King was to get through the Huangshui as quickly as possible, so Di Yong began to persuade the teams to carry out "moderately loose active harassment tactics", and it was necessary to create a suitable environment for the tactics of the main force of the volunteer army to cross the Huangshui.

Objectively speaking, since the Battle of Hehuang began, the army has basically become a frightened bird, and they are mainly preserving their own guerrilla tactics, and at this time, it takes a lot of courage for them to actively contain the main force of Zhuo Luolan.

Di Yong can only guide them and has no military command power, but fortunately, Manba is fighting in the Northern District, and their leader is in the dire and precarious situation on the battlefield in the Northern District. Therefore, Di Yong is continuing to carry out united front work, and the effect is not good at present, but it is not bad.

Now the guerrillas in the southern region unanimously believe that the way to survive the leader is to let the volunteer army that can defeat the so-called invincible Qingfang in less than an hour, cross the Huangshui and plunge into the northern front......

The morale of the volunteers, who were now maneuvering to the west, was soaring. Their faith in the Great Demon King had risen to the highest level.

An old breath in his chest erupted, since the beginning of May when the Western Xia troops marched, there was blood everywhere and negative news everywhere, except for the good news of Di Qing Dumen Mountain, I never heard even a trace of favorable news.

But just the night before, the first Huangshui encounter was almost a fantasy victory.

The entire volunteer army is in chicken blood, and it doesn't feel hard to run fifty miles in one go. In addition to a kind of raised eyebrows and puff that Song Jun has never had, including Ma Jinsi and Chen Ergou, they are a little fluttering, feeling that now Lao Tzu can do whatever he wants, this is not a march, but a journey between heaven and earth.

"You don't know anything about strength, now you are happy, the first time you failed to cross the water, and our sword went sideways and maneuvered along the river, Zhuo Luolan is not an idiot, with her military quality, even if she has experienced the defeat of the Minhe Campaign, she can quickly come out of the shadows and start the encirclement against our volunteer army from the new organization."

Wang Yan on the march couldn't stand it anymore, and inevitably began to pour cold water: "Now we are still under siege, the tactical purpose is still to cross the Huangshui, if you want to have a chance to cross the water, you must break out of Zhuo Luolan's heavy encirclement." ”

As a result, Ma Jinxi, Chen Ergou and others did not dare to be arrogant.

"Rest in this place for half an hour." Wang Yan gave the order.

At this point, except for a few people who acted as "radar" for vigilance, the rest suddenly lay on the ground in an uproar, and cooperated with each other and began to stretch in an orderly manner, including the war horses.

How to carry out a reasonable and rapid recovery has been scientifically discussed, and this set of rules has been strictly implemented since the establishment of the Funing Army. Approach is important, even position and breathing frequency.

The best way to recover after a strenuous march is not to fall asleep. That's definitely a hidden danger, stopping immediately after a strenuous brisk run is actually burning the life index, the correct way is to transition to jogging, and then walk for a while to buffer.

Walking seems to be still exercising, but it actually relaxes more than lying down and sleeping immediately, and it coordinates the orderly cooling of all parts of the body. At this time, once it cools down, there will be a strong sense of sleepiness, so just a small amount of napping is equivalent to immediately falling into a deep sleep.

This is the sharpening of the knife and the chopping of wood.

Although the napping time is short, it is definitely very effective, and it can be carried out when sleepiness comes, and even temporarily dispelled sleepiness due to some excited thoughts and news, but this part of the energy still accumulates in the body and does not disappear, and it will be more violent next time.

Therefore, it is still better to be blocked, and before the sleepiness comes, it is triggered by some artificial grooming, deep napping, which is a very effective rest.

Sure enough, after being soothed by some stretching, there was snoring all over the place.

Wang Yan didn't lie down, but took the map to meet Mu Guiying and study.

Now Mu Guiying is simply shocked, because the current position of the Volunteer Army is a corner, the north is not far from the river, not far from the southwest is where Zhuo Luolan's main force is, and the west is not surprising, there are two warheads along the river to encircle.

In the rear, to the east, is a warhead that has been thrown off since the first encounter in Huangshui, and they are constantly tracking the footprints of the volunteers.

This is the general situation now, Wang Yan dared to nap under the eyes of the tiger, and ordered repairs when there was no way out and there were pursuers.

Now the rest of the people don't know what Wang Yan wants to do so boldly, only Mu Guiying knows: the Great Demon King doesn't really want to break through the encirclement and go west, because even if he goes out, all the followers will become chasing soldiers, and the threat is not big, but it also makes the volunteers have no chance to cross the river.

Now Wang Yan's real idea is to use the sharp morale of the first battle to intersperse the encirclement twice, which can not only hit the morale of the Western Xia army, but also stimulate the active mood of the guerrillas in the southern region to the greatest extent. Only with the cooperation of the local guerrillas could the main force of the volunteer army have a chance to cross the Huangshui.

From the beginning of the first encounter victory, Ma Jinxi and Mu Guiying both made suggestions: the fastest maneuver, all the way to the west, after getting rid of all the pursuers, maybe from the Suiyuan Pass generation, or the Longzhi generation have a chance to cross the Huangshui. Even if it is directly advanced from the southern line to the first line of Xining Prefecture, there is a greater opportunity.

But Wang Yan vetoed these plans, on the grounds that it would take too much time to maneuver, which would be equivalent to exhaustion, and it would still be carried out under the condition that the long-distance cavalry of the Volunteer Army was not as good as the Western Xia Horse.

It is true that the farther away you are, the greater the chance of crossing the river, but it will drag the already tired volunteers into a more tired situation, and if you go to Xining Prefecture, given that Manba always has a plan to enter Xining Prefecture to slaughter the city, it may be encountered, and it will become a sandwich cake.

Therefore, Wang Yan temporarily adjusted his strategy: he planned to temporarily bypass the shortcomings of the Song army's long-distance endurance, so that he would spend his main energy and food on the exhausting march, and it was better to take advantage of the short-distance explosion, and under their noses, at the moment they did not expect, once or twice interspersed, continue to increase the battle losses of the Zhuo Luolan army, and reduce their military morale.

Hey?

Colin, who acted as a "radar" on the periphery, monitored the rumbling movement from the ground, which was the movement of the formed cavalry team jogging.

At this point, Colin jumped up in fright, hurriedly jumped on his horse and ran back half a mile to report the news.

So the big goose took out the whistle and blew it, and the big head soldier who slept on the ground responded quickly and began to make corresponding preparations.

Now, Wang Yan has joined Mu Guiying to make an analysis: Is there a chance to fight this lone Western Xia Corps in the rear?

This corps was the first encounter in Huangshui at that time, and they were the first to rush to the battlefield to support the Qingfang Division, but unfortunately they were one step slower, and when they arrived, Wang Yan's Department had already left the battlefield and began to maneuver, so they came all the way to the west, they were not in a hurry to hang in the rear, the intention was obvious, they were not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, and wanted to slowly drive Wang Yan into the encirclement.

One thing is certain: after two days of tug-of-war, the rear corps has also been tired, and the degree of fatigue has surpassed that of the Funing army. Because they did not have the "marching technique" to rest with fragmented time.

If you decide to fight now, it will be equivalent to exposing the Funing Army, then in this corner area, the tactical success rate depends on: how fast the response and support of other Western Xia Corps is?

Just when Wang Yan decided not to fight, and wanted to continue to maneuver and further drag them towards the abyss of exhaustion, another experienced scout from the west ran back and reported: "Xianggong, I have monitored the slow march of the cavalry from the west, and I feel that the number is very large, but the movement of the horses' hooves is strong and weak, not like a march, like a little chaotic?" ”

Mu Guiying changed color slightly and looked at Colin.

Colin thought for a moment and said, "The subordinates think that this is more like they suddenly encountered a situation and entered a local battle?" ”

At this point, Wang Yan narrowed his eyes, the opportunity had really come, this should be the result of Huangshui's first encounter, which aroused the active emotions of the guerrillas.

"To fight or not to fight?" In view of the urgency of time, Mu Guiying began to urge.

Wang Yan looked very bulky, and with the help of the sergeant, he put on his full armor and got on the war horse and said, "This officer has decided to fight this battle." It is true that there is a possibility of miscalculation, but it is not a big problem, because in the past two days, the Western Xia Corps in the east has been dragged into a state of incomparable fatigue by our volunteers, and its morale is extremely low. If it is really a miscalculation, the difficulty and cost of temporary error correction and leaving the battlefield will not be too great. ”

After a pause, he said: "There is another advantageous condition: although it is not far from Zhuo Luolan's main army, if there is a battle on the east and west sides at the same time, it will be a smoke, and it is difficult for Zhuo Luolan to judge which side is the real body at the first time, this is our initiative under the siege on all sides, and we must be good at using it." ”

Ma Jinxi suddenly said: "If I were Zhuo Luolan, I would not judge when the battle between the two sides started, and I would divide my troops to rescue on both sides." ”

Wang Yan said: "It doesn't exist, this is another form of application of the empty city plan. If Zhang Fei commanded him, he would dare to attack on all fronts, but Zhuo Luolan on the Hehuang battlefield was equivalent to Sima Yi, and she was not absolutely sure, and now that the guerrillas had been fully activated, she did not dare to put the place where her army of food and grass gathered in a dangerous situation. This is the strategic significance of our victory in the first encounter in Huangshui. ”

"Order, strike quickly to the east, the time limit is at most one hour, don't fall in love with war, don't have blind tactical goals, you can get as much as you want."

Now that he had the order to fight, Mu Guiying did not hesitate and quickly led Funing County back to the east.

This is indeed a return, because this is the route of the Funing army when it came......

Boom Boom Boom –

The ground shook, and the yellow sand filled the sky.

The two cavalry forces met faster than anyone expected.

"Oops, it's Song Jun in front! According to reason, they will only turn back when they are full? ”

After watching from a distance as the two armies encountered, the horse teams on both sides began to accelerate.

He Nan Mi, the general of the Third Corps of the Southern Army Division, didn't have time to think about it, although looking at the past, the horse speed of the Song Volunteer Army on this endless plain was a little exaggerated, not like a tired soldier, but thinking that this position was not far from the main force of the Anlong line, and there were also two corps advancing in the west, so it was possible to block Wang Yan's troops from encircling and annihilating here.

So General Nantong Mi didn't forget Zhuo Luolan's explanation, but really felt that the time was ripe for battle.

There was a painful lesson from Huangshui's first encounter with the Qing Fang Division, and General Nantongmi knew that he couldn't fight with them, so before the two horse teams were about to enter the long-range combat distance, he ordered to blow a horn sound different from the charge.

Toot –

In the sound of the long horn, the Nantong Secret Corps changed its strategy, as if it was divided by a knife, starting from the first line to "split the legs" into two strands, and began to turn left and right respectively. Try to bypass it with a circular arc to avoid direct impact from the Song army.

According to the theory of the Song army, this tactic was feasible in cavalry encounters. Looking at it now, the Nantong Secret Department adopts a conservative approach, avoids frontal hard encounters, and uses an arc to draw a circle, because it is an "inner circle", which is more distance-saving, and theoretically will not be surrounded by the cavalry of the Song army.

But the reality is very cruel, Nantong Mi is not Zhuo Luolan, and he can't make a comprehensive analysis in such a short period of time. What he didn't expect was that his own troops were much more sleepy than the Song army, and the Song army had a first-mover advantage, and entered the horse speed close to the peak in advance, plus the short-distance explosion of these Song horses was much stronger than expected.

As soon as the tug of war began, I saw that the speed of the Song army's horses was getting faster and faster, and it was more and more likely to be besieged by mobility.

"Do you want to continue the tug-of-war? Now the distance is not the best cluster kill distance for our flintlock units? Ma Jinxi, who followed Wang Yan's side, asked for instructions.

"See-saw, tremble, tremble, tremble! Beat them up as soon as possible. Just crush, we don't have time to eat them, and we don't have too much mobility to spend here! ”

After Wang Yan's order to start an all-out war was issued, the Song army's trumpet sounded.
