Chapter 860: Infantry and Artillery Coordination

(Thanks to General Zhao for the monthly pass, my brother has been dashing recently, and I am envious!) )

Before the Chang'an camp of Zhang Xiu in Hanzhong, the Cao army continued to impact the Yanjun camp like a tide, a wave was as high as a wave, but under the concerted efforts of the soldiers, the walled city stood majestically like a solid dam, and it was difficult to break down no matter how high the wind and waves were. When Sergeant Cao was familiar with that rhythm and launched an attack as usual again, a team of Yan Army Xuanyi armor soldiers suddenly counterattacked them by surprise, and after a short and fierce battle, the attackers who left hundreds of corpses had to be scrapped back, and the Yan Sergeant was demoralized and chased after a hundred steps before quickly returning to the camp!

Cao army's strength here is ten times that of Zhang Yan's Chang'an battalion, but the advantage of numbers on the narrow terrain before the camp is difficult to play, when it comes to individual combat power, the elite of the Yan army is also above it, whenever the Cao army is full of momentum and the offensive is fierce, there will always be a village sergeant just right to rush out of the camp and its short soldiers, and often such an assault can always be grasped because of the timing of the fine z and the soldiers' desperate efforts to crush the Cao army's offensive, so that the precarious Dazhai can get a respite, In this battle, this short assault tactic was used by Zhang Xiu to the fullest!

"Zilian, you command the whole army to continue to attack the village, and a certain person personally stepped forward to defeat those Xuanyi armorers." In addition to causing some casualties to the enemy army, the Cao army led by Xiahoudun and Cao Hong failed to make any progress in attacking the village, seeing that another impact was in vain, Yuan Rang couldn't sit still, the enemy's counter-impact tactics were obviously practiced hard, not only the timing was accurate, and the cooperation with the guards in the village was also extremely skillful! This makes Cao Jun fall behind every time he is in a head-on confrontation with it, and the attack has been repeatedly frustrated, if he can't defeat these brave and very brave Xuanyi armor soldiers to capture the camp is really difficult, this is the time to make his own move, Ma Chao and Dian Wei are both defeated, Zhang Xiu is the main general, who else in the Yan army can be their opponent? It's risky, but it's clearly worth it for the sake of the bigger picture.

"Brother Yuan Rang, as the general of the unified army, how can he leave lightly, this matter will be handed over to the younger brother, and I will definitely defeat it with my five hundred flying bear army!" Xiahoudun can see the subtlety of the Yan army's short assault tactics, Cao Hong will not be unaware, listen to Yuan Rang's words, Cao Zilian is not under Yuan Rang at this time, but when it comes to unifying the army, he will be a little inferior, the lord will attack the village and hand over the people to the two, and now this act of taking the lead is naturally more suitable for him to go. In Cao Ying, Cao Hong's bravery is also famous, and another time and space can fight with Ma Chao at the peak of his 50 rounds, which shows his bravery.

"Good, so with Zilian's five hundred flying bear army, you don't have to join the impact, just wait for the Xuanyi armor to attack and defeat it, and then break Zhang Xiu's counterattack method, our army will be able to go down this village in one fell swoop! However, Zilian still needs to be careful, and the benefits of Chang'an camp equipment should not be underestimated! Xiahoudun didn't think about it for too long, Cao Hong's skills were well known to him, and he was not under himself, and he was reasonable, so he said categorically, but Zilian was the brother of the lord, and he still had to explain. In addition to the amazing power of the Mo Fang Divine Crossbow, the Yan Army's Sky Bombardment Cannon has obviously also been greatly improved, they even dare to send stones at the back of the Cao Army when the two armies are entangled without fear of accidentally injuring their own soldiers, those flying stones come in the air with huge power, but they are definitely not something that can be dealt with by high martial arts, it is beyond the scope of manpower!

"Brother, rest assured, the lord gave me two days to take this village, and it is necessary to show you and my brother's means in advance, and the younger brother will go. Cao Hong nodded with a straight face, and then turned away, he knew the power of the Yan Army's Sky Cannon, and the power in this battle was even more powerful than before, but with his skills, as long as he was careful and careful about the situation, it was still enough to deal with it, after all, the Sky Cannon here was prepared for defense, not the kind of large equipment used in the siege!

Zhang Xiu used as a short assault of the team of Xuanyi armor is he from the Yanyun army brought out of the elite of a hundred battles, a total of more than 2,000 people, combined with the terrain before the camp was divided into four teams, each attack is only one team, between the conversion can be to the greatest extent to ensure the physical strength and combat power of the assault soldiers, such an assault in the ordinary drill is after many exercises, and the camp and the terrain can play a more powerful role, it has been proved that Gao Shun and others put forward this method of operation in the camp guard battle is extremely applicable, The combination of offense and defense is much better than a simple dead defense, and of course, the casualties of the soldiers used as commandos are also very large.

In order to reduce the lethality of the Sky Bombardment Cannon in the Chang'an Camp to the Cao Army, the distance between the scattered lines of the soldiers in the impact process is quite wide, after all, there are technical limitations, and it is impossible for the Yan Army to make the degree of the Sky Bombardment Cannon accurate to the size calculation, so that although those flying stones will still pose a threat to the Cao Army, the casualties that can be caused are much smaller. But although this method can prevent the bombardment of the cannon, but it gives the other party the best short assault, the elite of the Chang'an battalion can often occupy the advantage at the beginning of contact, such a situation has been repeated many times, but Cao Jun has always been difficult to come up with a good way to restrain the two, and its cooperation is extremely exquisite.

The use of the bombardment cannon to cooperate with the infantry combat is Liu Yi first put forward in the outline of the drill outline, with the rich experience of later generations, Lang Sheng attaches great importance to the cooperation between the arms, in the late Han Dynasty, such cooperation is relatively monotonous, nothing more than between the cavalry or between the infantry army and the navy, but the emergence of Youzhou equipment makes the Yan army have the technical arms that other princes do not have, and the improvement of the shooting accuracy of the bombardment cannon after the intensive research makes Liu Yi's idea have a solid foundation, and suppresses the enemy army remotely with the power of the equipment battalion. The partial strength advantage of the infantry army on the battlefield has also become a problem that the main infantry army and various generals are seriously pondering.

Brainstorming has always been one of the fine traditions of the Yan army, this unheard-of method of warfare once Liu Yi proposed it aroused the great interest of several military divisions and a group of generals, they have long been accustomed to the innovation and whimsy of the Yan King in the battle array, and they will not doubt whether it is feasible at all, but concentrate on how to give full play to the power of this new style of warfare. This method of operation is used as an auxiliary instrument by the bombardment cannon, so the name of King Yan is the coordination of infantry artillery, and in the process of perfecting the method of infantry and artillery coordination, several military divisions and generals of various armies, including the generals of the whole army, have put forward many extremely practical and valuable suggestions, and it is the crystallization of the wisdom of everyone that makes innovation a reality.

In this camp attack and defense battle in Hanzhong, the short assault of the Yan army and the coordination of infantry and artillery have been tested in actual combat, even if the other party is not weaker than their own elite in the world, but it is difficult to be familiar with it for a while, it still suffers a big loss. The Flying Bear Army is Cao Cao's guard, the trump card in the army, and Xiahoudun will never put it into such a tough battle unless he has to, because this loss is not worth it in his opinion, but after several defeats, he has to make such a decision, if in this first battle, hundreds of thousands of Cao troops with Zhang Xiu's more than 10,000 men and horses are helpless, the blow to the morale of its army will be extremely huge, and then it can affect the victory or defeat of the battle of Hanzhong.

Just like the scene of several attacks and defenses, the Cao soldiers who attacked under the impact of the Xuanyi armor soldiers were all out but could not stop the opponent's offensive, but this time after they were defeated, the five hundred flying bear troops led by Cao Hong immediately rose up, and the battle situation changed because of this. After the exquisite use of various new tactics to repel several fierce attacks by the Cao army, the soldiers of the Chang'an battalion used for short assaults will inevitably have a tired state, if such a tired state will not have too much impact on the combat strength of the soldiers when the wind is smooth, but once the enemy army becomes unexpectedly strong, although they are still fighting to the death, the casualties are gradually increasing!

Not only is the combat power of the Flying Bear Army extraordinary, they can all gain the upper hand in the battle with the Xuanyi armor warriors in one-on-one combat, but also add a brave and unusual Cao Hong Cao Zilian, in the swing of the big knife, he has cut down at least fifteen Chang'an battalion soldiers, and the grievances of watching the battle behind the battle were released by him in this battle, although the Xuanyi armor soldiers are fighting bravely, but they are a little weak in front of this class of generals, of course, this is not their responsibility, In the entire Chang'an battalion, except for Zhang Xiu, it is difficult to find a general who can match Cao Hong.

For a while, Cao Zilian was a tiger roared, and soon this team of Xuanyi armor soldiers used for short assaults was at an absolute disadvantage under the joint force of him and the Flying Bear Army, but at this time, more than 100 soldiers from Zhang Xiu's camp came to reinforce, and the troops invested at one time under such battlefield conditions could not be too much. Cao Hong disdained this, the long knife danced out of the light curtain at the same time as struggling to kill, these Yan soldiers were still difficult to resist his momentum, seeing that the soldiers led by General Cao were progressing smoothly, the follow-up forces of the Cao army gradually followed!

"Bell!" A loud bang shook the west, and Cao Hong's long knife was hit out in the hearty middle but was blocked by the opponent's blade, and a strong force from it made him take three steps back to stabilize his body, it was also a long knife, but the whole body was black, and there was a vivid unicorn ———— phoenix mouth unicorn knife on the hilt!
