Final Chapter. 375
Previously, Mr. Shui Zhu was leading the militia Township Warrior Regiment, responsible for transferring the people of Nancheng and cleaning up the fire path; But the Perak Chariot Battalion outside the southwest of the city was "accidentally" burned due to Shen Gui's covert intervention and the failed "infiltration operation" with Chiwu.
After learning of this news, Mr. Boiled immediately made a decision to convert all the refugees and militia villagers into logistics personnel, responsible for the deployment and transfer of grain, grass and ordnance; And she herself was idle and returned to the castle tower, just in time for this scene to happen......
"Master, my lords, listen to the concubine's words. The preamble that you have expressed is all from the bottom of your heart, and it is expected that with the wisdom of the old king, you should also know it. But the concubine thought that although this battle was full of dangers, it was enough to make the old and young kings of the palace famous in history, and no one could stop them. Wang Ge Lao, today I would like to ask you to clear the Huanyu for the people of Limin, hold the sword of the Son of Heaven, and behead the unrighteous traitors; Help the Lord in danger and solve the upside down of the common people. Today, I, the Luo family, would like to kneel and swear a heavy oath before the sword of the Son of Heaven and the King! No matter whether the city is broken or the city stands, if there are Nankang thieves who can step into Yanjing half a step; At all times, my husband and wife must have followed the footsteps of Wang Ge Lao, the jade shattered Kunshan, and the blood spattered Xuanyuan! ”
Mr. Water Candle stood up, shook the dazzling Suzaku cloak, picked up the brocade bag in his husband's hand, and held it high above his head:
"Look, the great seal of the cabinet is already in the hands of the concubine! Please also ask the soldiers to temporarily submit to the respect of men, and allow the concubine to issue a handsome order on behalf of Wang Zuocheng! If the concubine dies in battle, the husband of the family, Luo Shiyuangong, will give orders; If the husband dies in battle, he will be replaced in command according to the rank of the military. In this battle, if the concubine retreats half a step back, all the generals can draw their swords and behead me; If the husband retreats half a step, the generals can also raise their swords to correct the law and replace them in turn! ”
After finishing speaking, Mr. Shui Zhu didn't look at Wang Fang, stepped forward to the top of the city tower, and shouted to his husband in a low voice:
"Vice Marshal Luo, please also personally carry the whip, beat the war drums for the old general Wang and the listed soldiers, so as to strengthen the prestige of our army!"
Luo Zhifu, who was robbed of white by his wife in public, was a little red at this time. As soon as he wanted to speak and reprimand his wife for her audacity, he was stopped by the king's laughter:
"Hahaha...... When the old man saw that his virtuous brother had a wife like this, he couldn't help but regret it! If the old man could meet a confidant like Mrs. Zun back then, how could he be willing to be the position of this "lonely widower"! Ladies and gentlemen, please act in the face of Your Majesty and the people for the time being, following Mr. Shui Zhu's military orders! Whoever gives a military order from the mouth of a gentleman is equal to the mouth of a certain family; If anyone dares to disobey military orders, he can be killed in front of the battle with the seal of the cabinet! ”
After speaking, Wang Fang waved his hand to a small colonel who did not look amazing; The other party looked stunned, then reluctantly and reluctantly took out another square bag and handed it to Luo Yuan, who was pale......
Without asking, you can know that the thing hidden in the bag is Cai Xi's right phase seal! The left and right are combined into one, and the affairs of the military, government and people's livelihood in Beiyan are all under the control of the Luo couple. In other words, at this moment, this couple is equivalent to the Beiyan Cabinet, and they can do everything on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
Luo Yuan has the official three-rank official body of the imperial court, and in recent days, he has won more holy favors, frequently entering and leaving the Zijin Palace, and now he has been promoted by the king, and he is also the deputy marshal. Therefore, if the king goes into battle to kill the enemy, and the prefect of Luo is the master of the city, there is nothing wrong with it.
Now he asked a woman to order the three armies, if this happened on weekdays, he would be able to tear off the roof of the Purple Gold Palace. It can be the so-called wartime subordination, state affairs first; As for what kind of things such as men and women, respect and inferiority, chicken Si Chen, and Yue Yan are acting on behalf of others, it is just a case of grinding teeth and coughing when you are full.
These generals and soldiers who were ordered to defend the city, no matter how high or low their positions were, and who the masters behind them were, should all belong to Wang Fang's new party; And Wang Zuocheng favors the Luo couple, which is not a secret in Yanjing City; Taking 10,000 steps back, the accusation of standing on top of the city to stabilize the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield is also extremely dangerous......
Well, women are women! The enemy's guns and arrows will inevitably sweep straight to the commander's position; As the so-called knife and gun have no eyes, how long can she stand in this position, no one can say!
Actually, except for Mr. Water Candle, the handsome white lady of "Chicken Sichen"; Including Deputy Marshal Luo Yuan, no one understood the whole intention of Wang Fang's layout for this battle.
The more than 2,000 guards of the city, including the six dead old generals of the Northern Wolf Army, were just pawns that he deliberately gave up; And this time he led his army out of the city to meet the enemy, and it was also the final decisive battle that was suddenly launched after successfully capturing the excellent fighter.
Of course, Wang Fang's move was indeed a bit ruthless, but he was not out of party strife in the court, nor did he start to lay out the future in advance, but for purely military purposes.
Since the forces of both sides were not very strong, both the attacking and defensive sides could only concentrate their superior forces on one wall as the main goal. The Nankang Army, which had the initiative, chose to attack from the south of the city; And the Northern Yan people also took advantage of the assistance of Chiwu to anticipate the enemy first, and deployed heavy troops in the south of the city in advance.
Although the trebuchet in the southeast outside the city is powerful, the attack interval is long and the strike range is very limited, so it cannot pose a fundamental threat to the huge Yanjing City; The Thunderbolt Chariot, located in the southwest of the city, is extremely lethal, as long as one is not careful, this Yanjing City will be engulfed in flames and completely turned into a scorched earth of ruins.
It's just that according to the report of the Chiwu scouts, somehow, there was a martyrdom in the Thunderbolt chariot array, and those Thunderbolt chariots worth thousands of gold had quickly burned into a sea of fire, obviously lacking the skills to return to the sky.
Therefore, the only reliance on the victory of the Relief Army in this battle was the "mysterious demon law" that led to the overthrow of the urn city; Don't look at their numbers, they are powerful, and they are powerful; But as long as there is no artillery cart auxiliary battle, even if all the tens of thousands of soldiers enter the inner city of Yanjing and fight hand-to-hand street battles, they can only get an end with no return.
As soon as the urn city collapsed, the generals on both sides knew in their hearts; The gun carriage produced by the Tianji Workshop is the key winner of this battle!
Wang Fang paid attention to the gun carriage, and Pang Qingshan had already laid a net to prevent the enemy from drawing salaries. In front of the hypothetical hill of the gun carriage, tens of thousands of soldiers were already in formation; Just look at those long soldiers and short blades, arrow rain shield walls, if you want to charge head-on, the Northern Yan Army will inevitably have to pay an extremely heavy price.
The two wings of the main formation of the Liberation Army are also equipped with thousands of elite infantry soldiers, who are fully responsible for the defense of the formation; On the side of the moat in the rear, there are longbows like forests, and arrows like rain; Under Pang Qingshan's accurate judgment, tens of thousands of worry-relieving troops had already surrounded this artillery carriage.
The city of Urn, which was destroyed by a cannon, is a military installation; The majestic outer city gate is essentially a landmark building; Therefore, the engineering quality of the two is not the same, and the application fields are completely different; Since the artillery carriage can instantly crush the entire urn city; Then the only remaining outer city gate may not be hard......
Therefore, the key to this battle is whether Wang Fang can capture or destroy the artillery carriage before it launches a second offensive; For Pang Qingshan, it is much simpler. He only needs to withstand the enemy's frantic offensive, and protect this precious artillery carriage, and the technical chief adviser, deputy general Lian Wei, to be invincible.
Wang Shuangshi, the old butler who is in charge of taking the lead, is a pathfinder who tests the enemy's countermeasure ability and combat quality; The more than 2,000 city guards who followed closely behind were the main bait responsible for startling the grass and snakes and disrupting the enemy's formation; Only the 8,000 elite main force in Wang Fang's hands is the killer weapon responsible for the final decision!
In this battle, if they can successfully destroy the artillery carriage, Pang Qingshan and his worry-relieving army, they will die without a place to be buried; But if Wang Fang's 8,000 elites died on the battlefield, and the outer gate of Beiyan Nancheng was like an urn city, it was reduced to ruins under the blow of a cannon car......
Then the Beiyan City Guard, which is already between the second and third rates, will inevitably be completely frightened by the "unpredictable" spirit and demon method; The Northern Yan Dynasty will also fall and become a plaything in the hands of the Nankang people! And Zhou Chang'an, the fourth prince with heavy troops, could only establish himself as king in Sanqin at most, and embarked on an old road that he was quite familiar with, becoming the "Marquis of Xin'an" of the Nankang Dynasty......
Win or lose, win or lose, fight here.
Pang Qingshan saw that the originally neat and proper formation was unknowingly turned into a mess by more than 2,000 enemy troops, and of course he was very anxious.
Whether it is a water battle or a foot battle, the stability of the formation is an important reason for determining the outcome of the battle. To put it simply, it's like a restaurant: the guy is in charge of welcoming customers, the chef is in charge of cooking, the husband is in charge of settling accounts, and the proprietor is in charge of profit and loss. On the contrary, everyone goes to do the work they are not good at, and within a few days, the restaurant will have to close.
The fighting skills of the soldiers who relieved their worries were not inferior to those of the Yanjing Protectors; However, in terms of combat quality, the two sides are very different. For example, how should the Iron Guard Battalion, which is responsible for maintaining the front, respond to the fact that the enemy general has broken through the front point?
It's simple, realign your formation, take two steps forward, and continue to hold your shield against the enemy. And those small groups of enemy troops who were let over by the long shield soldiers were handed over to the brothers in the vanguard battalion behind them, or the robes of the main camp to deal with on their behalf, and they had nothing to do with themselves. Of course, making this choice also requires a high level of combat quality, tacit understanding and trust with each other.
Obviously, the Relief Army has neither. So, after several veterans of the Northern Wolf Army were submerged in the crowd, and the two thousand Northern Yan city guards were also surrounded by heavy sieges; The soldiers of the Worry Relief Army also fought with them separately and fought against each other.
It is true that from the perspective of the situation, the division and annihilation of more than 2,000 Northern Yan troops is already a sure result; But from the perspective of the form of the battlefield, because of the eagerness of their own soldiers to annihilate those small groups of enemy troops after the division, the formation of their own side was also completely dispersed, and it became a complete mud battle!
