The Western Army before Daguling actually had nothing to prepare for a war with the Jiaozhi people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since that day, the cavalry of the Western Army sent by Ma Jinhu went to negotiate with Nong Zhigao, and were arrogantly provoked by the Jiaozhi people, and cut off the ears of the cavalry robes who went to negotiate with them, the cavalry soldiers of the Western Army were already extremely angry, and they looked forward to quickly teaching a lesson to the group of Jiaozhi monkeys who did not know the height of the sky.

And after Xu Wu, who went to give an ultimatum yesterday, came back, he said that the arrogant provocation of the Jiaozhi people and the fact that he was almost cut off by the Jiaozhi people again, the soldiers of the Western Army were even more angry, these Jiaozhi monkeys are too ~ Mom is arrogant, we must teach them a good lesson, the anger value of the soldiers of the Western Army has already exploded in the past few days.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Western Army, whether they are infantry or cavalry, as soon as they heard that their commander had ordered a war against the Cochins, there was no need to make any preparations such as pre-war mobilization at all.

The arrogant provocation of the Jiaozhi people is simply the best motivation for the soldiers of the Western Army to fight hard.

…………

Zhong Hao asked the soldiers of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army last night to take out half of the remaining earth-shattering thunder and distribute it to the three battalions of the Zhenxi Army and the Baojing Army. They have been greedy for thunder for a long time, and they are all comrades-in-arms of the vanguard army.

However, this earth-shattering thunder is really not so easy to use when the cavalry charges. This thing is still used relatively backward with velvet as a lead ignition detonation, ignition needs to use a fire fold, and it needs to be operated on a galloping horse, both hands off the reins, so that you can only rely on your feet to control the horse, which requires high riding skills. Of course, this is nothing to elite cavalry such as the Zhenxi Army and the Baojing Army.

However, the other point is very influential, because when this earth-shaking thunder is thrown, it can also be thrown for one or twenty meters, if the cavalry charges, even if it is thrown forward with all its strength, with the speed of the cavalry galloping, it is very likely that the sky-shaking thunder fuse is finished, and those Western cavalry will rush to the front, just injured by the earth-shaking thunder. Moreover, the cavalry charge of nearly 1,000 people like the Zhenxi Army and the Baojing Army must have been very open, and the longitudinal distance must have exceeded the length of one or twenty meters.

Therefore, when the cavalry charged, this earth-shattering thunder was not so useful.

Of course, when escaping, it is still very useful to block the pursuers. At that time, the own side was running forward, and the earth-shaking thunder was thrown backwards, just enough to blow up the pursuers behind. Therefore, sometimes when you run away, you will be able to fight against your own side.

Just like the Mongols more than 200 years later, many times when the Mongol army fled, they were chased by the enemy soldiers behind, and instead chased after them, and in the end the Mongols became the winning side. Because the Mongolian riding and archery kung fu is invincible in the world, and the endurance of Mongolian horses is good, it is difficult to be caught up.

Moreover, the Mongols were the fleeing side, and they all threw arrows backwards, and the pursuers behind collided with the arrows fired by the Mongols, so they were easily killed. And the arrow shot by the pursuers at the Mongols who were galloping forward was shot in the direction of running, and even if they hit the Mongols who were galloping forward, the power of the arrows was already much smaller. Therefore, there are often cases where the winning side chases the Mongols, and when they chase after them, they become the losing side.

When this earth-shattering thunder escapes, it is a good thing to stop the enemy. And when the cavalry wants to charge, it can only be used in the same way as the elephant troops of the Pingxi Army against Nong Zhigao's army, they can sweep sideways near the enemy formation, throw the earth-shaking thunder into the enemy formation, go around in a circle in the distance, and then come back to charge. By the time he charged back again, the Heaven-Shaking Thunder had already exploded, and its effect should have been exerted.

In this way, although the horsepower of a charge is wasted, it can avoid being accidentally injured by the earth-shattering thunder.

Zhong Hao carefully told them about this matter when he gave the three battalions of the Zhenxi Army and the Baojing Army to the earth-shaking thunder.

After Di Qing asked people to give an ultimatum yesterday, twelve hours had arrived, and the Jiaozhi people obviously did not have any intention of handing over Nong Zhigao. In that case, we can only start fighting!

Of course, in fact, the Western Army, from the marshal Di Qing to the soldiers of the battalions, all knew that it was impossible for these Jiaozhi monkeys to hand over Nong Zhigao, which can be inferred from the arrogant attitude of the Jiaozhi people when the Western Army went to negotiate.

And at this time, the western army has sharpened its knives and mustered up its strength, in fact, the western army from the commander Di Qing to the soldiers of each battalion do not want the Jiaozhi people to hand over Nong Zhigao, so that the Western army has no reason to go to war.

For the fighters of the battalions, only by going to war can they make more contributions. You must know that in the eyes of the soldiers of the Western Army, these cross-toed monkeys with combat effectiveness as scum are simply the lucky stars who come thousands of miles to send people's heads.

For Di Qing, the commander of the Western Army, the Jiaozhi people in the south of Guangnan West Road have been very arrogant over the years, if they don't take the opportunity to attack them this time, I am afraid that they will be more unscrupulous in the future to invade the Guangnan West Road of the Great Song Dynasty, and even Guangnan East Road. Only by completely defeating them and crippling them can we dispel the covetousness of those Jiaozhi people for Liangguang and make them completely dare not come to invade and encroach on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty of Liangguang.

The Liangguang region has been poisoned by the Nong Zhigao Rebellion this time, and it is already in ruins, and the work of reconstruction is already a long way to go. If you don't take the opportunity to hurt those Jiaozhi people this time, I am afraid that in the future, Liangguang will definitely continue to be harassed by them. At that time, the already fragile Liangguang people's work to rebuild their homes would be even more difficult, and it would be difficult for the people of Liangguang to settle down.

Therefore, Di Qing felt that the Jiaozhi people did not hand over Nong Zhigao, and he just took this opportunity to completely defeat the Jiaozhi people, at least let them recover for a few years, or even more than ten years, so that they did not dare to think about the territory of the Great Song Dynasty anymore.

As for Nong Zhigao, it is actually not that important, and the capture of Nong Zhigao is nothing more than the icing on the cake for his counterinsurgency achievements, and if he can't catch it, it's nothing. Nong Zhigao's strength has been completely wiped out by the Western Army, and his prestige has also been lost, and it is difficult to make a comeback. Even if Nong Zhigao escapes, in this wild land of southern Xinjiang, his own survival will be a problem, and he will definitely not be able to make any waves.

…………

In fact, before the twelve hours arrived, the Western Army already knew that the Jiaozhi people would definitely not hand over Nong Zhigao, so they were ready early and lined up on a gentle hillside in front of Tagu Ling.

Now that the time comes, it will enter a wartime state, and now even if the Jiaozhi people hand over Nong Zhigao, the Western army will still continue to attack the Jiaozhi people and crush them to powder.

But now the Western Army is still facing a problem.

In fact, it's still an old problem, similar to the problem of the last battle with Nong Zhigao. If the Jiaozhi army held out in the camp, although the Western Army now had the explosives package brought by the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army, they thought that they could easily break through their camp. However, rushing into the camp, the cavalry's play must be greatly limited, even if the Western Army is sure enough to easily defeat the Jiaozhi Army, there will always be many unnecessary casualties. What's more, a visual inspection of the strength of the Cochin Army camp is about 50,000 or 60,000 people. With 15,000 people, to attack the camp of 50,000 Jiaozhi army, Rao is the western army is fearless, but it is quite exciting after all.

Compared with the field battle, attacking the camp of the Jiaozhi army is obviously only a strategy. If it can fight in the field, the Western Army naturally still hopes to fight in the field with the Jiaozhi Army.

Of course, the Jiaozhi army is not a fool, the western army is willing to come to the field battle, so they take the initiative to cooperate, isn't that a fool?!

However, the thing is so wonderful, under Xu Wu's provocation, the Jiaozhi Army actually took the initiative to go out of the camp to line up and fight with the Western Army. Di Qing felt that this time he went south to quell the rebellion, he was simply favored by God, and he himself felt that he was about to become God's godson.

Of course, in fact, the fact that the Jiaozhi people took the initiative to go out of the camp and fight with the Western Army in such a hurry was not mainly because of God's favor, but because Xu Wu scolded Li De'an too hard.

Li Dean originally planned to wait for his work, waiting for the Western Army to attack the Jiaozhi Army camp, and sniping the Western Army with the strong camp, and then taking advantage of the situation to counterattack after the veterans of the Western Army Division were tired, but Xu Wu's scolding really made Li Dean unable to listen to it.

"The Jiaozhi people will hide in the camp and be the turtle with the shrunken head, if they dare to go out of the camp, the Western Army will definitely call them to be people in the future."

"Haha, if Li De'an dares to go out of the camp and fight in the field with the Western Army, Lao Tzu will definitely cut off his dog's head, eat his ears with vegetables, and make a wine glass from his skull."

"Haha, the Cochin Army is a barbarian with combat effectiveness scum, a group of monkeys in clothes."

And what is even more annoying is that every time Xu Wu scolds, those Western Army soldiers repeat it loudly in unison, so that every Jiaozhi Army soldier in the Jiaozhi military camp can hear it clearly.

Li De'an listened to the scolding of Xu Wu and the soldiers of the Western Army, and suddenly shouted angrily.

It's really infuriating, a group of straw bags Song Jun who have no combat effectiveness dare to insult Jiaozhi people like this. No, we must go out and let those straw bags Song Jun taste the power of our Jiaozhi Heavenly Soldiers, so that they can't even recognize their mother, and see if they dare to be arrogant.

Moreover, Li De'an felt that it was more pleasant and more deterrent to defeat those straw bales of the Song army in the field than to defend and counterattack in the camp. The defeat of those straw-bale Song troops in a field battle will definitely make the Jiaozhi army greatly exalt. It is estimated that many Song troops will be able to flee without a fight, and when the time comes, they will be able to save a lot of trouble and save a lot of trouble.

Although Li De'an was very annoyed by the provocation of the Western Army, he had not lost the most basic sober judgment as the commander of the First Army. He decided to go out of the camp to fight the Western Army in the field, mainly because he felt that the benefits of this move outweighed the disadvantages of their Jiaozhi Army, and he also felt that their Jiaozhi Army would definitely be able to easily defeat the Western Army on the opposite side.

The Jiaozhi army had a full 50,000 troops, and the western army on the opposite side visually measured all the infantry plus cavalry, which was more than 10,000 people. Even if the Western Army has more cavalry, the terrain here in Daguling is uneven, and there is no huge open land that can allow the Western Army to gallop vertically and horizontally, and it is impossible to give full play to the advantages of the impact on the infantry and the destruction of the formation such as interspersed and divided. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Song army was not strong, and they only relied on those bows and crossbows to shoot, but the Jiaozhi army had long been prepared, and everyone had a very strong and light rattan shield, and they were not afraid of the Song army's bow and crossbow shooting. As for the hand-to-hand encounter, those Song troops are really not enough to see in front of the Jiaozhi people.

In the past, Li De'an had been guarding the northern border of Jiaozhi, and often clashed with the Song army on the Guangnan West Road, and from time to time he would fight a battle that was not big or small, and basically those Song troops were vulnerable.

Of course, Li De'an has never been in contact with these Western armies in front of him, but judging from the news obtained by Nong Zhigao, these Western armies and the Song Army on the Guangnan West Road before are afraid that they are also a virtue. In fact, Li De'an didn't just draw these conclusions from Nong Zhigao, the main reason is that he looks down on the hypocritical nation of the Han people from the bottom of his bones, and he has to hide everything, everything needs to be thought about before and after, and nothing can be done. Of course, what Nong Zhigao said about the Western Army also had a great impact on Li De'an's judgment.

It can be said that so far, Nong Zhigao's idea of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf is at least half of the success. Of course, as for who is the tiger and who is the wolf, it depends on the final outcome of the war.

However, Nong Zhigao felt that it was more likely that the Western Army would become a tiger. It would be better if the wolf of the Cochin Army was defeated. At that time, Nong Zhigao felt that he could stay in Guangyuan Prefecture for a long time, and he would not defend the squeeze of the Jiaozhi army for the time being. If these Jiaozhi soldiers under Li De'an are defeated, I am afraid that it will take many years for Jiaozhi to restore effective rule over the northern territory.

If the Jiaozhi Army finally becomes a tiger and swallows the wolf of the Western Army, it seems that the result is not so bad. At least if the Western Army is defeated, Nong Zhigao feels that his life will definitely be saved, although he may be oppressed and exploited by the Jiaozhi people for a long time in the future. But that is similar to the situation of the Nong people before, although it is a little difficult to accept, but it always saves his life, and slowly looks for opportunities in the future, and he Nong Zhigao may not have the opportunity to grow again.

…………

Li De'an led his 50,000 troops out of the camp and lined up, preparing to defeat the western army on the opposite side in one fell swoop.

Di Qing couldn't help but be happy when he saw that Li De'an had given up the camp and went out to fight with the Western Army, and immediately asked the herald of the Western Army to beat the drum and prepare for war.
