Chapter 262: Countermeasures
The fierce battle in front of the mountain was in full swing, the Tartar troops were tight, and the soldiers and horses of the green battalion around were limited, and through the thin smoke, I saw that there were several green battalion soldiers in front of two hundred meters who were looking at everyone in horror.

Yang Feng waved his hand and led everyone to kill him, how could these soldiers be the opponents of the Hundred Battles Guard Battalion, except for a few who escaped, everyone was subdued by Yang Feng and others.
Yang Feng asked the two captives to be isolated and examined, and when they saw the fierce and vicious soldiers of the loyal and righteous army who kept climbing up, these two soldiers were terrified and told Yang Feng and others the scene on the mountain without reservation.
Now the loyal and righteous army is in a hurry to attack the mountain, and the deputy general Hui Yingzhao led the main force to rush to the front mountain to defend, while in the back mountain, there are only one or two hundred old, weak, sick and disabled.
Hearing this news, Ma Fengyu was overjoyed and said: "Yang Feng, I will give you a squadron to attack the green camp tent and control the grain and grass of the green camp. ”
Yang Feng was shocked and said, "Madam, the fierce battle in the front mountain is in full swing, so you still want me to lead the soldiers and horses to go." ”
Ma Fengyu pulled out the treasure knife, pointed at Yang Feng and said, "Yang Feng, you don't listen to what I told you, did you?"
Do it now, or I'll be punished for battlefield disobedience. ”
Yang Feng had no choice but to lead more than 30 people to attack the Green Camp Tent, while Ma Fengyu led his troops to kill Qianshan.
Early this morning, the loyal and righteous army attacked the mountain very fiercely, not only did the artillery in the distance continue to fall, causing great damage to their own side, but also under the cover of muskets and bows and crossbows, they continued to charge up the mountain.
Although the green battalion was in danger of defending, its firepower was far inferior to that of the other party, and the loyal and righteous army was well organized, and no one on either side took advantage of the battle for half a day.
After fighting like this for a long time, seeing that there were no new tricks in the loyal and righteous army, Hui Ying Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that today was like this, who knew that there was a burst of music from the back mountain: "Escape, the loyal and righteous army is coming from behind." ”
Hui Yingzhao turned his head to look and saw a cluster of flames burning in the back mountain, and then there were bursts of shouts and killings, seeing all this, the whole person almost collapsed to the ground, and there was no speech for a long time.
Hui Yingzhao is like this, and his soldiers are even more so.
In this era, the military discipline of the army can not be very strict, to the back of the mountain is lost, the morale of the green battalion soldiers who are blocking the fall to the bottom of the valley, now seeing the mountain under the loyal army suddenly exerted force, a team of soldiers regardless of the stones thrown down desperately climbed up the mountain, some people saw that the general situation was not good, and some even turned around and prepared to escape.
Hui Yingzhao had no choice, he didn't have time to change into ordinary soldiers' clothes, and fled to the back mountain in the chaos.
Before he could take a few steps, he was intercepted by a large group of loyal soldiers, and everyone knew that it was a big official who was covered with good armor of hundreds of gold and silver, and they shouted to kill, and in the end, they were hacked to death by a knife.
The sneak attack on Xishan was successful, and the soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion occupying Dongshan tried to escape, but were intercepted by the loyal army, and finally the whole army was destroyed.
The loyal and righteous army won a complete victory, and in one fell swoop captured the dangerous pass that Wu Jie's used to defend the golden vultures, and everyone was quite happy.
In addition to the battlefield review, Yang Xuan emphasized the role of the Mandarin Duck Formation, in the past, everyone often emphasized the Mandarin Duck Formation, but in fact, they often forgot the so-called Sancai Formation, that is, a formation evolved from the Mandarin Duck Formation when attacking, that is, the Sancai Formation, or the triangle offensive tactics on the basketball court in the previous life.
Mountain warfare is different from plain warfare, in a small space, a squad is very crowded, so more emphasis needs to be placed on the coordination within the squadron.
During the battle, often two sergeants (veterans) each led two soldiers to raid left and right, while the squad leader led the main force to attack head-on, so the combination of positive and odd achieved a surprising victory.
In addition to formally emphasizing the importance of the triangular offensive, there was also a review of the weapons aspect.
There is very little space in the mountainous areas, and the wolf is too long (two zhang), it is difficult to play the battlefield effect at all, and the longest weapon in the mountain battle is better to use the spear.
In the past, there were too many spears in various cold weapon units, and if they could learn from the characteristics of the white pole guns and connect them with hooks and loops, they could quickly build simple ladders and achieve a surprising winning effect.
After explaining one by one, the Ordnance Bureau was arranged to temporarily build according to the characteristics of the battlefield to meet the needs of future operations in the mountainous areas of Hanzhong.
After occupying the Tiesuo Pass, Yang Xuan ordered Yang Wei to lead the 14th Regiment to march along the Jialing Ancient Road, in order to make an army into Shaanxi and threaten the situation of Guanzhong (Jialing Ancient Road is also Chencang Road, from Chencang to the southwest out of Sanguan, along the upper reaches of the Jialing River (Ancient Dao Shui) Valley Road to Feng County, turn southwest along the Gudao Water River Valley, and pass through the present-day Liangdang (Han Ancient Road), Huixian (Hanhechi) to the present Luoyang (Han Jialing Road) to connect the Fushui Road to Hanzhong, or through the Chenping Road in the territory of today's Luoyang, to the present Ningqiang Anyi to receive the Jinniu Road into Sichuan) into the Shaanxi frame.
And Yang Xuan took Guo Chonglie's 3rd town (division) as the vanguard, and swept towards Calcium County.
Calcium County is the birthplace of the Han River, and it is also the throat road into Hanzhong, through which the Calcium County has a more Bao ramp road through the pass, the strategic position is very important, and Nikan is to appoint the four (Sichuan) general soldier Li Guoying to garrison here for defense.
After hearing the news that the general Huiying was defeated and killed, and the three thousand defenders were completely annihilated, Li Guoying, the general soldier of the fourth (Sichuan) of the Barbarian Qing Dynasty, was shocked, and on the one hand ordered to strengthen the city wall of Calcium County and strengthen the defense of Dingjun Mountain, and on the other hand, he sent an envoy to the Manqing Duoluo Beizi Nikan to report the emergency.
After Nikan saw Li Guoying's letter asking for help, he was shocked and said: "Liu Bei, with the help of Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang, spent a year fighting with Cao Cao for the land of Hanzhong, and this Yang Xuan actually broke through the dangerous passes of Ningqiang Prefecture and Tiesuo Pass in less than ten days, which was unexpected.
Now the army led by my uncle's regent Duoduo and Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, is thousands of miles away, and it will be very difficult for our army to hold on until reinforcements arrive. ”
He Luohui shook his head and said: "Nikan Beizi, the last time the Sichuan army was defeated, in addition to the fact that Haoge divided his troops to attack from all sides, the most important thing is that there are many hills in northern Sichuan, and the local people have the habit of building cottages to live.
Most of my Eight Banners are cavalrymen, which are conducive to galloping thousands of miles on the plains, but not conducive to fighting in the deep mountains and old forests of Si (Sichuan).
Now Duoduo's defeated banner is in Guanzhong, plus Wu Sangui's 30,000 Guanning soldiers and horses are rushing to Hanzhong, so we can have more than 20,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry in Hanzhong, as long as we can lure Yang Xuan to the Hanzhong Basin, so the loyal army will undoubtedly be defeated. ”
Nikan sighed: "For today's plan, we have to strictly order Li Guoying and others to stick to the reinforcements and delay the time, we have to build fortifications outside the city of Hanzhong, just like Yang Xuan was under the city of Shunqing that day, so that we can hold on until the reinforcements arrive." ”
Heluo will be shocked: "Beizi, by all means. The Loyal and Righteous Army started in northern Sichuan, where the hills were dense, and everyone was accustomed to climbing over ravines and climbing dangerous beaches.
The Loyal Army was mainly infantry and was good at fighting in the mountains, but not in the plains.
Bei Zi's digging of a trench under the city of Nanzheng is not only not conducive to our battle in the Eight Banners of Manmeng, but also will inevitably make the infantry of the Loyal and Righteous Army like a tiger. ”
Nikan sighed: "Although what the general said is reasonable, if it is not so, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrive." ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and for a long time, Heluo would suggest that for the sake of today, he should ask his uncle regent Duoduo, and Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, abandoned his baggage and led the elite cavalry to the battlefield quickly.
