What Han Qian has paid the most attention to in these years is the training of grassroots generals and military attachés, which makes the small group of soldiers and horses of Daliang scattered and independent combat ability.

The cavalry tore through the fortifications on both flanks of the enemy's forward line, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses could not see the beginning and tail of the team in the fog with visibility of only seven or eight feet, even when the sentry of 100 men was advancing rapidly to the north through the slope valley and potholed fields.

Occasionally, the enemy army rushed in, or the streams and rivers and villages blocked it, and the array advancing to the north would inevitably be pulled more scattered.

This is definitely a military disaster for the armies of other forces in the world.

And even if the soldiers and horses of the big beam are dismantled to the size of a squad, they will not lose their combat effectiveness.

Under normal circumstances, the enemy's cavalry forces occupy an absolute advantage in the open Fenshui River Valley, and Wen Bo will never dare to let the soldiers and horses be too scattered to fight, and must ensure a sufficiently dense formation to prevent the enemy from a roundabout attack from all directions.

However, the foggy weather completely suppressed the enemy's ability to intersperse with roundabouts, and the Liang soldiers could unscrupulously march and fight in sentry units or even smaller troops.

Before the war, the necessary mobilization and preparations were also made for the march in the fog.

Each sentry carries one or two guides who are familiar with the terrain, and there are clear signs along the road to guide the following soldiers and horses.

Even if there is a battle in the event of a broken enemy army, it is clear that the main thing is to defeat and disperse in the early stage, and the queue will be reorganized every once in a while before continuing to advance.

To put it bluntly, the whole process is a test of the army's organizational ability and whether it has penetrated into the grassroots level.

There is no clear flag to convey combat orders, and in the fog, passwords and whistles are mainly used to distinguish between friend and foe, and the timing of advance and retreat and rest and recuperation at this time requires the independent and decisive judgment of the military attachés at the grassroots level in the face of a sudden defeat of the enemy or the entire army that still maintains considerable combat capability.

The temporary loss of contact between the small group of troops and horses and the main force requires the rank and file military attachés to overcome and appease the panic of their soldiers, and decide how to defend, assemble, and contact the main force nearby, or determine the new direction of the march on their own.

The Liang army has expanded at a great speed over the years, and not all grassroots military attaches can become elite military attaches after a certain amount of training, but since Han Qian started in Xuzhou, in addition to attaching importance to the training of grassroots military attachés, he has paid more attention to guerrilla warfare, and the two can even be said to complement each other, which makes the Liang army have a large number of grassroots military attaches with the ability to independently lead troops to fight.

This proportion is even only one-third of the whole army, and in such a fog, when the two armies meet and are destined to fall into a melee, the Liang army has already established an absolute advantage.

…………

…………

Under the cover of the cavalry brigade, the main infantry brigade quickly attacked northward, leaving a considerable number of elite soldiers and horses to disperse and strike at the chaotic troops on both flanks of the enemy's forward line, so that these scattered enemy soldiers could be regrouped.

As for the main force of forward troops and horses assembled along the Jiangyuan Post Road, although Wen Bo was replaced with a reserve brigade with weak combat effectiveness before the decisive battle, it did not mean that they could squat in place and watch the main combat force stir up the world in the hinterland of the enemy, and they had no new combat mission.

In order to accomplish the battle, it is necessary to penetrate its defense line from the frontal battlefield at the same time, and completely destroy the enemy's will to resist.

Otherwise, even if the raiding troops and horses advancing deep into the enemy's deep hinterland can break through the camps on both flanks of the county, the actual amount of damage will be quite limited.

Such a surprise attack can only kill and scatter the enemy troops in the rear, and it is difficult to complete the arduous task of inflicting heavy losses on the labor army.

If it is impossible to break through from the frontal defense line, the cities of Jiangxian, Wenxi, Quwo, and Yicheng in the north are all under the absolute control of the Mongolian army.

This not only greatly limited the expansion of the results of the battle, but even this battle may not be successful in forcing the Mongol army to retreat from the Fenshui River Valley.

If that's the case, this battle won't end well.

The basic soldiers of the reserve brigade are all new recruits, especially the 40,000 young and strong men who have been recruited from the people fleeing from eastern Henan to supplement the battalion, and their combat effectiveness in penetrating defenses is weak, and their ability to fight in a dispersed and independent manner is weak, so it is difficult to expect them to fight tough battles.

However, the reserve brigade, from the senior generals to the backbone of the military attachés at the grass-roots level, are all elite military attaches and veterans in the army, and the ability to organize new soldiers to conduct training for three or five months, and to fight in formations and to attack cities and seize villages is still a cut above that of ordinary local state soldiers.

The barracks on the forward line of the Mongolian army should be slightly stronger, and the deployment of weapons should be complete and intensive, but in any case, they are far from being compared with the city walls of Jiangxian County that are more than three zhang high and the deep moats that are more than seven or eight zhang wide.

What's more critical is that after the two wings were broken through, the Mongolian troops on the front line did not know how many Liang troops had killed behind their flanks, nor did they know how many Liang troops would outflank them from the rear and attack their flanks.

People were in a panic, and some people shouted in the confusion that "General So-and-so" opened the camp and surrendered to the Liang army.

Listening carefully to the name of the person, he is really Tian Weiye's general, but when Yuanqu fell, this person stayed in the north of Lishan to guard Anyi City.

In the chaos, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false news, and people's hearts become more panicked.

Although Wusu Dashi has always ordered the soldiers and horses on the forward line to stabilize their positions, in this case, where do ordinary generals have such a strong psychological quality, and they can really stabilize their positions without panicking.

After hours, visibility in the fog was slightly better.

Wen Bo ordered a main infantry brigade and two reserve brigades stationed at the front base to rush towards the enemy camp front base like a torrent of trench carts, cave house cars, crashing wood, and ladder trucks.

The front base of the enemy camp is crossed by the post road and the two wings of the Jiangyuan post road, the terrain here is already quite open, the front base of the enemy camp stretches for about four miles from east to west, and the defense line is formed by the obstacles such as trenches and parapets and horses, antlers, and ground nails.

On such a narrow defensive line, 15,000 soldiers were thrown into the city at once, and the intensity can be imagined, almost with the battalion as a unit, more than 40 siege passages were launched at the same time, and the enemy camp was charged forward with the tactics of a sea of people.

The attacking troops and horses of the annexed city were so dense that in the face of the arrows and stones thrown and fired by the enemy from behind the fortifications, and the fire oil spilled, the casualties at the beginning were destined to be extremely heavy.

However, Wen Bo ignored the arrows and stones thrown by the enemy camp as dense as a swarm of locusts, and completely ignored how tragic the casualties before the enemy camp's front base would be, and ordered more than 100 large drums to be lined up, and selected strong soldiers to beat the war drums.

It is said that the visibility is slightly higher, but the scenery is still blurry ten feet away.

The Liang army had long been prepared, leaving clear marks and signs in front of the enemy camp during the night battle, guiding the soldiers and horses to annex the city, and on the offensive route, it was even more advantageous to make a solid car formation as a breaking point, in addition to dividing the offensive channel, it was also responsible for transmitting information, military orders and supervising the battle.

The enemy generals were not fully prepared, but in the midst of the chaos, they had to enter the wall of the fiercest fighting in order to grasp the changes on the battlefield in time.

This is also the biggest advantage of being prepared to kill the unprepared.

At the same time, Wen Bo opened more than 40 passages to organize troops and horses to attach to the city, and carried out a saturation and strong attack with the tactics of crowds and casualties, so that the generals on the enemy's forward line could not take care of the whole and the tail, so as to ensure that the opening could be torn in the shortest possible time.

Among the enemy's forward camps, there are many experienced veterans and generals, after all, even the generals who are still following the Mengwu army at this time are all Rong

Ma is a professional soldier for half his life, and there are also many elite tooth guards around him who can fight bloody battles.

However, in such a chaotic situation, it is impossible to figure out the situation if the left and right are separated by more than ten zhang, how can the enemy army be able to do everything on the front base defense line that is more than four miles long?

Every time a hole was torn in the enemy's front line, Wen Bo sent an additional team of reinforcements to strengthen the offensive, and did not hesitate to penetrate the depth of the enemy camp.

The officers of the reserve brigade did not have a strong fighting ability in attacking fortifications and were not suitable for scattered combat, so they advanced in a dense formation like fish scales, raising their swords, shields, and halberds next to each other, and marched into the depth of the enemy camp.

This tactic is difficult to minimize their own casualties, the enemy pushes the bed crossbow and shoots, and even three or five people will be killed under an arrow, and they will be hit by stone bullets thrown by the enemy's whirlwind cannon, and there will be heavy casualties, but it is simple and practical.

In fact, there is no need for more than 40 passages to make progress, fierce for an hour, the dense fog before noon finally gradually dispersed, and the field of vision can see the scene within a hundred steps, but at this time, the Liang army has more than a dozen soldiers and horses to kill through the enemy camp successively.

The more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in front of the enemy camp did not know how many casualties there were, and the remaining soldiers and horses were either completely cut open and fell into chaos, or they spread their feet and abandoned their armor and fled north.

Zhu Zhen commanded a group of cavalry under his command to enter the enemy camp from the gap, kill the enemy troops who were still trying to resist in the chaos, and clear out two main passages for He Liufeng, Tan Xiuqun, Zhao Ci and other four infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade that had not yet been dispatched at this time, quickly crossed the front defense line of the enemy camp and approached and advanced towards Jiangxian County.

Wen Bo made such a deployment with Cao Ba, Lu Ze, Su Lie, Huo Li and other soldiers and horses who launched an assault from both flanks to the north in the early morning as the first echelon; He Liufeng, Tan Xiuqun, and Zhao Ci, who were attacking Jiangxian County, led their troops as the second echelon, and at the same time, at this time, the 40,000 soldiers and horses who were annihilating and routed on the battlefield of the forward line of the two armies and mainly the reserve brigade were used as the third echelon to control the vast battlefield within a radius of thirty or forty miles in Jiangxian County and its periphery.

This deployment is also to ensure that there are no accidents, and at the same time, it is also necessary to do the greatest possible thing to retain and kill the rout of the Mongolian army.

Only in this way can we achieve the operational intent of annihilating the living forces of the Mongolian army to the greatest extent.

Of course, sending He Liufeng, Tan Xiuqun, Zhao Ci and other troops to the city of Jiangxian is not because Wen Bo hopes to catch Wusu Dashi and Xiao Yiqing, but to keep an eye on them.

At this time, in the city of Jiangxian County, there were still 6,000 horsemen led by Wusu Dashi.

These 6,000 men and horses can be said to be the most elite cavalry of the Mugüs.

Wen Bo does not send a strong enough force to keep an eye on it, once the fog completely dissipates in the afternoon, such an elite combat force with rapid mobile combat capabilities is almost at the core of the entire battlefield, and still has the possibility of turning the entire battle around.

With less than 20,000 elite infantry and less than 3,000 cavalry, it is extremely difficult to complete the task of besieging the enemy's most elite 6,000 cavalry in Jiangxian County when the outer battlefield is still chaotic.

In the end, their cavalry is too limited......

Twelve thousand cavalry are almost all sent to the battlefield at present, and Wen Bo said that Zhu Zhen's troops can only kill the enemy near the front base of the enemy camp, but it is strictly forbidden for him to lead his troops to penetrate in depth at will.

Wen Bo did this, mainly because he was worried about what could happen on the battlefield at any time.

At that time, he could only order Zhu Zhen to quickly assemble a part of the cavalry and rush over to reinforce it.

Completely left in the sequence of the rear army as a reserve soldier and horse, there is no longer even a battalion of integrated cavalry.

Even at this time, as long as he could add another 3,000 cavalry to Wen Bo, he would consider leaving the enemy generals such as Wu Su Dashi and Xiao Yiqing behind.

Now, although he gave Feng Zhang, Tan Xiuqun and other generals the right to act when they saw the opportunity after entering the battlefield, but in the arrangement of the entire battle situation, he did not have the luxury of thinking about leaving Wu Su Dashi and Xiao Yiqing......
