The soldiers came to the city and swore to attack the fortification
Feng Xiao Pang Tong's words have been unanimously praised by everyone, just in terms of the matter of the soldiers, the poison Jia Xu, the ghost Guo Jia and the Feng Xiao Pang Tong are the best at using psychological warfare among the military divisions under the command of the Kaiyuan Emperor. www.biquge.info King Alain immediately sent people back to Qili, calling on the people to imitate the Han military uniforms from now on, and also to select 10,000 elites in the army to use the costumes of the Han army.
"King Lu said that the current attack of the four roads of men and horses each of the troops is 500 people, two teams of Xuanjia supplemented by 400 silver moon knights, from the rear of the Roman legions to the front line to transport grain and grass materials must pass through these four roads, quite a complex terrain twists and turns, just conducive to our army's guerrillas." Pang Tong continued, the essence of the wolf pack tactics is to constantly harass the other party with a small group of elite troops, but the two teams of Xuanjia 100 people are already the limit of what small troops can use, and the Xuanjia must also maintain a certain number as the main force to increase the deterrence of the enemy.
A strong army must also have a strong general first, according to the discussion of everyone, each road has two captains, one is the Han general is mainly responsible for commanding the battle, the other is the general of the Silver Moon Empire, in addition to auxiliary operations, they also have to assume the responsibility of the whole army guide and contact the local people to resist the force, Liu Xin is unceremoniously repeated here to repeatedly emphasize that the Han army commander must fully respect the opinions of the friendly army of the silver moon, and categorically cannot insist on going his own way, otherwise he will be severely punished by military law!
"Second brother, since you want to go deep behind enemy lines to harass the enemy army, junior brother, please be the captain of the first team." As soon as Liu Xin's voice fell here, Gan Ding was the first to say, what is he here for? Achievement, danger? How could the descendants of Liu Yi's three brothers care that when their fathers raised the army, which one of them didn't take the lead in the battle? If you don't experience the wind and rain on the battlefield, you will never be able to become a great weapon!
"Brother Ding, there is no doubt about your bravery, but after all, you lack the ......experience of unifying the army," Liu Xin said here for a slight pause, but when he saw Gan Ding's face showing disappointment, he continued: "I asked Xiao Rang to help you, you must think twice about everything, the second uncle's Flying Tiger Army cross-sea landing and surprise attack in the Battle of Jizhou is known to the world, you must not lose the face of the second uncle!" "He knows Ganding Liu Xin very well, he does not lack military talent, he and Zhao Tong were also the top five graduates of the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy, the only thing that needs to be considered is the experience of the battle formation, this Xiao Rang is a captain of Xuanjia, and he was the captain of the White Horse Battalion before, and he is also experienced in a hundred battles!
"The last general commands." Although Gan Ding is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is not afraid of informality, but he knows that the matter of this battle formation cannot tolerate the slightest deviation, and he is also bowing down to receive the order at the moment, with excitement on his face!
"King Lu, the last general is also going to fight." Seeing that Gan Ding fulfilled his wish, how could Zhao Tong on the side endure it, these little brothers have always been unfocused, and they are generally thinking about becoming famous!
"The third uncle is the commander of the Han Iron Cavalry Battalion, and has commanded the cavalry for decades, and if the younger brother wants to go, it is also general, and he will consult with the two captains and friendly generals, there is no joke in this army, if the two are in the war, the king will not read any brotherhood, and he will be engaged in military law!" Of course, Liu Xin expected Zhao Tong to say this, but after laughing, he said with a very serious face.
"No, no!" The two young generals didn't say much, they were determined to use their own military exploits to prove that they did not rely on the prestige of their fathers, and they were by no means brave men!
Liu Xin, the captain of the third team, chose Chen to Chen Shuzhi, this person was originally under Liu Bei in Yangzhou, and was known as the "Little Four Tigers" along with Guan Ping, and was strong in martial arts and good at leading the army.
The fourth team is the fifth army, this person is Ganding Zhao Tong for two terms, graduated from the first place in the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy, and each project is not out of the top three, after joining the army, he was first in the Bingzhou battalion, and then promoted to the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Beiping Army, and it is also a rising star in the Han Army in recent years. Liu Xin's establishment of Xuanjia is not only carefully equipped, but also never let go of talents from all walks of life, the Fifth Army or the crown prince Liu Huan personally ordered it to be transferred to the forbidden army first, and then transferred to Xuanjia, if it were a different person Hao Zhao, the commander of the forbidden army, would never let go of such a talent, but Liu Xin could only be another matter.
Liu Xin has completed the dispatch of generals here, Leonard and Landson also sent candidates for deputy generals after some careful thinking, and there have been actual combat exercises during the day, and the Silver Moon Cavalry is very recognized by the combat power of the Xuanjia Knights, and it has also laid a good foundation for the cooperation between the two sides. King Aland even gave each captain a golden waist card to represent himself, and the soldiers and civilians of the Silver Moon Empire everywhere had to give them the greatest cooperation when they saw this.
And on the frontal battlefield, General Liu Xin led the remaining Xuanjia plus 12,000 Han soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, and the Silver Moon Empire sent 20,000 troops, falsely claiming that the 100,000 army was approaching the front of the Roman legion, of course, King Lu would not forget to bring a battalion of soldiers and cannons of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, with the detailed map of several strategic fortresses in front provided by Aland, if the enemy army really can't hold out, with the siege equipment of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, even if you can't beat the fortress, you will be shocked by the enemy's cold sweat.
All plans stopped, and the four groups of men and horses set off that night, and Liu Xin's army would begin to press in two days later. Pang Tong and Fa Zheng even proposed to follow one of the four routes, so that they could give full play to the advantages of the flexibility of the small force and strengthen the cooperation between them! Liu Xin thought about it again and again but still rejected the proposal of the two, of course he believed that the strength of the two could make the four people stronger, but figures like Pang Tong and Fa Zheng did not dare to let them go into danger even if King Lu did.
Pang Tong's boldness is famous, Guo Jia's boldness is only reflected in the formulation of strategy and tactics, after all, although the physique of the ghost talent has been greatly improved by Liu Yi's efforts compared with the same period in history, but it can never be compared with the generals in the army, but Pang Shiyuan is not ordinary, not only has an admirable resource, but also has a strong physique, his swordsmanship is second only to Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi among the ministers. Being on the front line at every turn during the Chibi War did not make Gan Ning feel scared, and Fa Zheng's situation was similar to Pang Tong, and the two of them were also quite close to each other this time.
As for Qi Li's defense, Liu Xin entrusted everything to Zhou Yu, if Zhang Hu and Zhuge Liang are all-rounders among the military and political elites, Zhou Yu's handsome talent is also highly affirmed by everyone, especially in the Flying Tiger Army, his prestige is only under Gan Ning, and it is known to the whole army that Xingba wants to give up the position of commander of the Flying Tiger Army to Zhou Yu several times. Being able to attack and defend well, and being in command is definitely worthy of the name to describe Zhou Lang, and Liu Xin can be more relieved after having him.
Two days later, Liu Xin led the army to march, although the Roman legions retreated to various fortresses and waited for reinforcements, but Avamenon and Landuayas still tried to send some troops to explore the reality of the Han army, Liu Xin was a small unit against a small unit, and the infantry and cavalry cooperation between the Xuanjia cavalry army and the Flying Tiger land battle can be described as perfect, and the Han army has no defeat after more than ten battles!
But what Liu Xin cannot ignore is that the Roman legion also made adjustments after adapting to the tactical agility of the Han army, from the huge advantage at the beginning to the gradual increase in the subsequent casualty comparison, which also allowed the generals of the Han army to see the strength of the Roman army! The Han army under Qili City that day really occupied too many advantages, and it was not possible to evaluate the comparison between the strength of the two armies!
On this day, the Han army advanced to the first medium-sized military fortress Lan Dingcheng, which was one hundred and thirty miles away from Qili City, and there were 5,000 infantry under the command of Landu Ayas, which was garrisoned here. The reason why it did not play a prominent role in resisting the invasion of the Roman legions was because of the lack of a strong sports war corps, in Liu Xin's eyes, the previous tactics of the Silver Moon Empire were too rigid, and how could they hold it in the face of a strong enemy? As a result, after the main army was repulsed by the Roman army, the people's hearts were unstable, and a powerful fortress was in vain!
According to the intelligence from the front, Landuayas and Avamenon arranged two cavalry legions on the flank and rear of the Blue Fortress, and the fortress presented an inverted triangle situation, it is obvious that the tactical level of the Romans is far superior to that of the Silver Moon Empire, the fortress is the point, the main army is the face, and the strong fortress is used to consume the enemy's vital force, and the cavalry will spy on the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy!
In the eyes of Liu Xin and Pang Tong Fazheng, the response of the Roman generals Avamenon and Landuayas was still remarkable, although they were beaten quite miserably by the Han army in the Battle of Qili, they were also shocked by their powerful combat power! But after calming down, they must have also made their own analysis, and the current formation is to test the true combat strength of the Han army? Whether it has the strength to storm a strong fortress is also an important factor in measuring whether an army is strong or not!
The actual battle had proved that the combat strength of the Great Han soldiers was superior to that of the Roman legions at this time, but to continue to maintain the deterrence of the enemy army, it was not enough to put strong pressure on them by the first battle of Qili and the sporadic victories that followed. Almost as soon as he got the information, Liu Xin made up his mind to attack Lan Ding and take it down in the shortest possible time. It has always been the fine tradition of the Han army to be good at attacking fortifications, and Cao Cao's Yanzhou battle at that time Yan army was to take Leping in one fell swoop, Qingping several Xiongcheng, the proportion of offensive and defensive casualties is almost the same, giving the enemy a strong deterrent!
Speaking of the siege of the city is second to none is the "trapped camp" under the command of Gao Shun Gao Jingfang, the general of the expedition to the north, from the day Gao Shun surrendered to Liu Yi, the Liaodong Army is the main force of the siege, the battle of the Tiger Prison has become a classic of the Han army's siege warfare, and the infantry and artillery cooperation has the countless efforts and experience of the Liaodong Army and Gao Shun himself! Although Liu Xin's hands are not "trapped" now, the strength of the Flying Tiger Army Marine Corps is as strong, and although Lan Ding is strong, it cannot be compared with the Tiger Prison!
