Chapter 205: The Order of the Envoy of the Festival
As the earthen walls of the Dock Fort collapsed, the Northern Alliance's determination to resist began to crumble at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After the artillery stopped firing, standing on the side of the Qingzhou Army, you could also see many soldiers of the alliance fleeing from the dock fort, some people fled directly to the west to the main formation, and more people panicked and fled in all directions.
From this point on, five rounds of general artillery and three rounds of divine cannon firing did not bring much casualties to the enemy, after all, whether it is a military cannon or a divine machine gun, in the final analysis, it is a light field artillery, and its power is not suitable for attacking the city.
Fortunately, the target on the opposite side is not a famous city fortress with deep trenches and thick walls, but an earthen enclosure, which can barely be dealt with field artillery.
After the bombardment, the New Army launched a general attack in order, and the Zhenyuan battalion went up first, easily occupying the almost empty dock fort and forming a flank attack on the Northern Alliance, during which the enemy was not able to reinforce the dock fort at all.
Subsequently, the Yuanying and Laiyuan Battalion followed up to press the central front of the Northern Alliance, and the Dingyuan Battalion safely bypassed the occupied dock fort and tried to outflank the enemy's rear .......
Next, ......, the Northern Alliance gave up the plan of field warfare, at least half of the Wubao lord led nearly 1,000 militia to surrender to the Qingzhou army, almost more than 2,000 people collapsed and fled, and the remaining part retreated into Linzi County, I don't know if they want to continue to hold on to the city wall, or simply want to be quiet.
Xu Shiyang shook his head, this was not a war at all, it looked more like the two sides were swinging their horses and engaging in an armed confrontation.
The way to achieve victory is not the skill and tactics of the soldiers, not the weapons and equipment, or the command of the officers, but it seems that the victory depends entirely on who has more momentum and who can make the enemy ......feel weaker.
With the support of the powerful artillery, the Qingzhou Army naturally had a great advantage in this kind of "war."
But if they don't change, even if these people are brought under their command, they will still have little combat effectiveness in the near future in the face of the Tartar invasion.
Of course, whether Xu Shiyang likes it or not, victory is victory.
At least the owners of the outer dock forts of the Qingzhou Army behind him were full of praise for the combat effectiveness of the new army.
A group of local tyrants gathered around Xu Shiyang, and all kinds of sensible sycophants rolled in.
"The new army has indeed descended from heaven! With such a sharp weapon, even the thickest city walls are not a problem! ”
"Yes, yes, it is worthy of being a young tiger in Juzhou, the new army is so powerful!"
"What Juzhou Tiger, in my opinion, the Tiger of Qi Province is right!"
"Jiangbei Tigers! Jiangbei Tigers! ”
"Master Xu, attack quickly! Destroy all these small nights who dare to fight against the festival and make adults! ”
"Yes, yes, destroy them, and then let's attack Laizhou! Little adult, you come to be the Laizhou Festival Ambassador! ”
"What are you fighting Laizhou, it's poorer than us! If you want to fight, you have to fight Quanchengfu! ”
It is said that two women quarrel like a thousand ducks, and now it seems that I am afraid that men will not let it go.
Xu Shiyang raised his right hand solemnly and motioned to the 100,000 noisy ducks in the observation group to be quiet.
He looked around and saw that the men were all smiling with excitement on their faces.
Most of the compliments they just made were genuine.
The lord of the dock fort was indeed very satisfied with the grand fireworks display of the new army just now.
Artillery, the god of war, which humans are completely unable to fight, has given many people an ambition that they have never had before.
And this kind of ambition has given birth to irrepressible greed - even if the Xu family wants to swallow most of the spoils, they should be able to share some leftovers with the dock castle owners who are closer, right?
Therefore, many people have begun to imagine the next war - anyway, this year's harvest is like this, it is better to follow the Xu family to pick up some cheap.
Most of the Wubao lords located to the east proposed to attack Laizhou, east of Qingzhou.
those located in the southwest hope to attack Yanzhou; The lord of Qingzhou's Northern Dock Fort, in addition to wanting to swallow the Northern Alliance as soon as possible, has already begun to propose to attack Quancheng Mansion.
However, no one cared about Xu Shiyang's previous warning that the Tartars might go south on a large scale at any time, and it seemed that in their opinion, the return of the Tartars would at most be just to give more money and food to the women as ransom money for the city.
Maybe there will be people who do it: as long as the strength is strong, it will be better to go directly to the Tartars to be a Han Meng'an or Han Mouke, right? ’
Xu Shiyang thought maliciously.
It's all pig teammates, Jiangnan is, and Jiangbei is too.
It's a pity that Xu Shiyang's starting point is too low, and he can only try to win over these pig teammates and unite all the forces that can be united, until the new army really grows up and can sweep away all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
"Attack, Lord Xu!"
During the quarrel, the owners of the outer dock forts of the Observation Mission reached a consensus - to swallow the territory of the Northern Alliance first, and then talk about the next direction!
Therefore, everyone asked Xu Shiyang to launch a general offensive in unison, and many people even excitedly said that they could be the vanguard of the army and take the lead in attacking the enemy who was still resisting!
"Alright, launch a general attack."
Xu Shiyang was helpless, and he didn't want to go against the wishes of so many allies.
He knew that the Northern Alliance had actually been wronged to become an enemy - most of them were purely because of distance, and they didn't know that Qingzhou Jiedu had made Xu Muhe want to hold an alliance meeting, and as a result, they became the target of the newly formed Qingzhou Army because they didn't send anyone to participate.
Unfortunately, since the war has already begun, it is impossible to end it without a result.
Xu Shiyang also can't show mercy because he feels that they have been wronged (although he has actually shown mercy now), after all, ending the war as soon as possible can minimize the losses suffered by both sides of the war.
"Our army will solve the enemy in Linzi County within two days."
Xu Shiyang said to the Qingzhou Military Dock Fort Owners who were excited:
"After that, attack Le'an, Boxing, and Gaoyuan, and ......"
"The enemy in Linzi County will be solved by the new army, and Le'an, Boxing, and Gaoyuan will be solved by the old army in Juzhou and Rizhao!"
Qingzhou Jiedu, who had not spoken, made Xu Muhe suddenly interrupt Xu Shiyang's words and said loudly:
"Let you come to the battlefield as observers, so that you can understand how the real war is fought!"
"After this war is over, go home and reflect on it, and think carefully about your previous performance!"
"Just like you, you can't help where to hit next!"
Xu Shiyang looked at his father inexplicably.
What does that mean?
Let Juzhou, which is under their own control, and Rizhao, which is the earliest and most closely related to the alliance, swallow the entire northern part of Qingzhou in one gulp, and they don't plan to give any benefits to other families?
Xu Shiyang glanced at the Outer Dock Fort Masters of Qingzhou Observation Group again, and sure enough, their originally excited expressions had disappeared, replaced by stunned and faint anger.
"Jiedu makes the Lord Mingjian, it is our previous battle that has dragged those rebellions in the north into exhaustion, so they will concentrate their forces to fight our army in the field!"
One of the Dock Castle owners couldn't help but argue:
"We don't have merit and we have hard work, right?"
"Hmph, credit and hard work, is it up to me to say or what you say?"
Xu Muhe snorted coldly with an implicit threat:
"If you don't want to obey orders, why don't you do this festival?"
