Chapter 427: A Great Victory

In fact, before the siege, the attacking side will fill in the moat, and this situation is not something that the defending side can stop at all, if it can be stopped, it is better to fight a direct encounter, it is not a defensive battle.

Although he knew that the Jin army was resting at this time, Niu Gao, who was in charge of the siege, was still very careful, because he knew that this time, it was the last siege battle, and he wanted to take Lin Trance in one go, so he had to attack at any cost, and whether he could take this city mainly depends on these twenty Shenwei artillery.

Everything was ready on the third watch, this time, the Han army did not use other siege equipment, that is, it was to rely on the divine artillery to blast open the city gate, and then take the big city with a thunderous force.

With an order, twenty Shenwei cannons fired together, and the deafening explosion shook the hearts of every Jin army defending the city, and what they felt was not the Han army attacking the city, but the roar of the immortals, the roar of the heavens.

It's over, this battle can't stand Linhuang Mansion, this time, the Jin army defending the city is really desperate, Shenwei artillery is too close to the city, not only bombarded the city, the city gate, but also bombarded the city indiscriminately.

With the roar of artillery fire, 20,000 Han iron cavalry in front and 30,000 infantry in the rear, like a tide rushing towards the dilapidated city gate.

For a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, and countless Han troops came out, like demons in the middle of the night, which completely shook the sensitive nerves of the Jin army, and the Jin army that was in a hurry to meet it looked extremely chaotic, with firelight everywhere, killing in the sweeping, and bloody battles everywhere.

In this battle, almost every soldier of the Jin Army knew that Linhuang Mansion could not stand it, this battle was the last battle in his life, surrender, just kidding, he had to go, and the black light could escape there, and the decisive battle would justify the name of the Jin Army with blood.

This battle is destined to be a battle of righteousness, whether Linhuang Mansion can hold it has no meaning, escape, that is Pucha Ahudie's matter, most of the Jin army is in a hurry to fight, destined to use blood to defend the honor of the Jin army, with blood for the name of the Han army.

Under the cover of night, Pucha Ahudie still fled, this guy fled overnight, not even his wife and concubine, so he took a thousand soldiers out of the north gate. The rest of the Jin army was leaderless, although they were very heroic, although they were not afraid of death, but they rushed to fight without any organization, facing a well-trained Han army, doomed to only the fate of being killed.

The bloody battle lasted until noon the next day, which was considered to be the end, of course, the piecemeal battles continued, the Jin people were belligerent, and the young men in the city took up arms to resist, but what greeted them was a bloody suppression, all the people who resisted, the men over ten years old were all executed, and all the women were transported to Hebei, which was the consequence of the rebellion.

The Han army was highly disciplined and would not commit crimes of plundering the common people and plundering women. But all those who resist must be brutally suppressed, which is to warn those Jin people that they must either be obedient to the people, or there is only one way to destroy.

Plunder, regardless of whether it is good or bad, will cause the people to revolt, and the war will continue forever, forming a wasteland of war. Typically, the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army led by Tong Guan entered Youzhou City and connived at the soldiers to rob the people, and finally met with strong resistance from the people, and the consequences were very serious.

However, if the rebels are not suppressed, it is not enough to deter the Jin people, in that case, the backyard of the Han army will always be unstable and attacked, so they will be treated differently.

Under the bloody suppression, Linhuang Mansion finally returned to its former tranquility, and the Han army did not harass the people, although those who resisted were also ruthlessly purged.

Pucha Ahudie's escape, that was Yue Fei's deliberate, only this guy fled in a hurry, in order to calm the war in Linhuang Mansion as soon as possible, and to become a nightmare of becoming a vassal army, which is equivalent to helping Cao Meng's Dragon Wing Army reduce the burden.

Taking Linhuang Mansion, the total casualties of the Han army are nearly 20,000, and if this method continues, it will definitely be problematic to take Huining Mansion. While summarizing the reasons for the excessive proportion of casualties, Yue Fei began to prepare for the next war.

The huge Huining Mansion is definitely not something that the 80,000 soldiers in Yue Fei's hands can take down, to put it bluntly, the Huining Mansion with 200,000 elite soldiers will not dare to enter the 80,000 Han army even if the city gate is opened, this is inevitable.

The encirclement of Huining Mansion requires at least three corps to work together, but Yue Fei's first corps is the main attack, which is beyond doubt, so why Yue Fei insisted on fighting Linhuang Mansion is to accumulate experience in attacking Dacheng in order to take Huining Mansion.

After taking Linhuang Mansion, Yue Fei's First Corps did not last long to revise, and began a new journey, and the goal of the next battle was to fight

The first war of the Dragon Wing Army was still unexpected, and it was originally thought that the surrounding vassal armies would go to the aid of Linhuang Mansion, so Cao Meng stationed 10,000 Dragon Wing Army around Linhuang Mansion, and the 10,000 Dragon Wing Army under his command was used as a mobile force. But he didn't expect that in the north, Xiao Sanshui, who had 40,000 vassal troops stationed, did not move, and he had no intention of sending troops at all.

There is no intention of sending troops, it does not mean that there is no prevention, Cao Meng is still very clear about this, he told Cao Bao, who is in charge of the north, that no matter what, he wants to block the 40,000 vassal army in Beicang Mountain, this side is one to four, and the pressure is still quite large, no matter whether the other party goes to help Linhuang Mansion or not, he is not hungry and careless, and he must not be invaded by the other party.

Dongguo Town, the first army of the Longyi Army led by Cao Long was the first to encounter the Jin Army, which was a vassal army that went to rescue Linhuang Mansion, and it was a cavalry composed of all Liaodi Han'er, and Fang Qingzhuo, the commander of ten thousand people, was a guy who greatly admired the strong, he was desperate to serve the Jin Army, and he took the initiative to join the Jin Army.

Fang Qingzhuo originally worked for the Liao State and married a Khitan woman as his wife, but in the process of the Jin army's extermination of the Liao army, he took the initiative to choose to take refuge in the Jin State, just because the Jin State knew how to be strong.

Jin Guo was also good at Fang Qingzhuo, not only made him the commander of Wanfu, but also gave him two Jurchen women, and let this guy guard Dongguo Town.

Dongguo Town sounds like a small place, but in fact it is a county town that is not small in scale, and the most important thing is that the grain and grass warehouse of Linhuang Mansion and the armor warehouse are all here. The only bad thing is that the population is too small, which can't catch up with Beicangshan, but anyway, as a Liaodi Han'er, being able to guard such an important place shows Pucha Ahudie's trust in Fang Qingzhuo.

Now the Jin civil strife is not stopped, and South Korea is rising strongly, in this case, Fang Qingzhuo did not carry the idea of the Jin country, he firmly believes that the Jin country is only a temporary civil strife that leads to the weakening of the country, and the strength of the Han is only temporary, and in the end, the world is still the Jin country.

After receiving the order to rescue, Fang Qingzhuo did not hesitate to take the initiative of the whole army, and did not leave any soldiers to guard Dongguo Town, in this guy's opinion, once the Linhuang Mansion is lost, it will be over, and it is impossible to recapture it, in this case, the first priority is to rescue the Linhuang Mansion, as for the grain and grass, the armor does not matter.

Doesn't matter? The armor storehouse, the grain and grass storehouse, Fang Qingzhuo can be indifferent, but Cao Long will definitely not think that it doesn't matter, he sent Li Bin to lead a thousand cavalry to attack Dongguo Town, and he personally led nine thousand soldiers to block Fang Qingzhuo's 20,000 vassal army.

Fang Qingzhuo's 20,000 vassal army can be regarded as a long-standing battlefield, although its combat effectiveness cannot catch up with the Jin army, it far exceeds the resentful army, and can even be compared with the Liao army back then, and it can be regarded as a team with strong combat effectiveness.

Combat effectiveness is only relative, and this time it was the Dragon Wing Army, a division of kings destined to sweep the world.

Cao Long divided the Nine Thousand Dragon Wing Army into three teams, left, center, and right, with the left wing being the left Kaishan.

Cao Long said to Zuo Kaishan, Song Mingcheng: "This is the first battle of the formation of the Dragon Wing Army, this battle is the battle of the Dragon Wing Army, we not only have to win, but also win the battle of the Straight Sword." To make full use of our speed, the three teams must be constantly interspersed, detoured, not for the purpose of killing, but for the purpose of breaking the opponent's formation, once this vassal army is broken down the formation, it is destined to scatter and flee, the lord will be captured, and after being killed, most of them should surrender. This battle is played according to the third plan. ”

"Understood."

Although the Dragon Wing Army has never participated in the war, in fact, when practicing on weekdays, there are more than a dozen sets of combat plans, and different combat plans are selected according to different opponents.

With Cao Long's order, the three thousand middle route troops rushed towards the vassal army like arrows from the string.

Rushing to kill, seeing that only 3,000 Han troops rushed over, Fang Qingzhuo didn't take it seriously, so he ordered his son Fang Zhen to lead 5,000 cavalry to meet them.

In Fang Qingzhuo's opinion, five thousand cavalry would definitely be able to easily annihilate this Han army, but the rhythm of the war made this guy stunned.

The speed of the three thousand dragon wings was very fast, and they rushed towards the five thousand vassals like a gust of wind, but they did not rush into it, but began to shoot with crossbow arrows when they approached the enemy.

The Dragon Wing Army uses a double row of crossbows, with crossbow machines in both hands, and each crossbow machine has twenty crossbow arrows in it, which can fire five crossbow arrows at a time, and can occur four rounds in a row, and the speed of firing is far greater than the bow and arrow of the vassal army.

Before entering the range of the vassal army's archery, the crossbow arrows began to be fired, and countless vassal troops fell in response, and the scene was very tragic.

The tragic thing is still to come, after the Han army in the front row is launched, the patrol retreats from the battlefield, and then the Han army in the second row continues to shoot the vassal army.

There was no time to reload the crossbow arrows on the battlefield, so after the shooting was finished, the Dragonwing Army began to use muskets to launch a medium-range attack on the vassals, without giving the other side a chance to get closer.

It is equivalent to saying that before the Dragon Wing Army approached the range of the vassal army, it had already killed the vassal army that came forward, and this scene made Fang Qingzhuo behind him stunned.

The most outrageous and terrible thing is still to come, when the vassal army has not yet touched the middle army of the Dragon Wing Army, the left wing army, the right wing army will be killed, and the left, center and right three road armies will surround the remaining more than 3,000 vassal troops in the center.

Seeing that the front army was about to be annihilated, Fang Qingzhuo ordered the whole army to attack.

Fifteen thousand vassal troops were killed, and at this time, the left and right flanks of the Dragon Wing Army were no longer entangled with the front army of the vassal army, but pressed up from the left and right flanks towards the rear army of the vassal army.

Seeing that the left and right flanks of the Han army were killed, Fang Qingzhuo had no choice but to attack them separately in two ways. But just when the vassal army was divided into two ways, the two dragon wing armies joined forces and went straight down from the middle, and the speed of this transformation was so fast that the vassal army couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

Fang Qingzhuo obviously didn't react slowly, this guy immediately had an idea, he didn't panic at all, he ordered the two vassal armies that had been separated to attack the Dragon Wing Army from both wings, after all, the vassal army was numerous, and it had the potential to crush, and it was not afraid of the changes in the Dragon Wing Army at all.

In the face of absolute strength, no conspiracy will succeed, but the problem is that you must have absolute strength, otherwise you can only dig your own grave.

Obviously, the speed of the vassal army is far from catching up with the Dragon Wing Army, just when the vassal armies on the two wings are about to surround it, the Dragon Wing Army is crazy to rush ahead and kill it, and rush out with a thunderous momentum, so that the attempt of the vassal army to encircle it has not been realized.

At this stage, the front army of the vassal army had collapsed on all fronts, and it could not stop the Dragon Wing Army's charge, and finally scattered and fled.

The five thousand soldiers of the front army were defeated and defeated by the Han army under Fang Qingzhuo's eyes, this change was too fast, which made him feel a little annoyed.

The thing now is that the three Dragonwing Armies are like three cunning wolves, constantly shuttling and attacking the vassal army, and the fifteen thousand vassal armies seem to be numerous, but they are like a big stupid bear that moves slowly, and the Dragonwing Army is a little powerless in the face of high-speed movement and super mobility.

Interspersed, detours, raids, engagements, no matter how they change, it is always the Dragon Wing Army that is holding the vassal army by the nose.

The speed could not catch up with the other party, so they were led by the nose, and the formation of the vassal army began to scatter, and the situation gradually got out of control.

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, while the vassal army was in a panic, the Dragon Wing Army began the first round of attack, in the periphery they used a row of crossbows to attack the vassal army, the dense crossbow arrows were hugely lethal, and countless vassal armies fell in response, and the situation was even more chaotic.

Divided, soon 15,000 vassal army was divided into three parts, although due to the limitation of the number of people, the Dragon Wing Army could not surround the divided vassal army, but it was only a matter of time before they won the overall situation.

Long-range is a row of crossbows, short-range is a musket, this kind of successive high-intensity blows, the vassal army is in a hurry, overwhelmed, and the army finally showed signs of collapse.

The stray bullets on the battlefield flew indiscriminately, and as Fang Qingzhuo was shot and fell off his horse, the vassal army completely collapsed and began to flee in all directions, and finally more than 5,000 people surrendered, and the others scattered and fled.

In the end, the Dragon Wing Army took 20,000 vassal troops at the cost of less than 500 casualties, and the first stop can be said to be a complete victory.
