"Everyone is here, let me tell you about the latest situation." Chen Fan glanced at Li Feixue, Lu Yi and Qian Ning, as well as Gao Siji and Ge Cunzhou and others who were sitting below, and said a little solemnly: "It's snowing now, and according to estimates, this snow is estimated to not stop in the short term." So everyone should be mentally prepared. ”

"The big marshal means that the people of the Tunja are doing it on purpose? Want to use the weather to drag us to death? Liu Yi was a little shocked and said, "In this case, wouldn't the minefield we have arranged in the frontline position not work?" ”

"Then find a way to force them to fight us, what's so difficult about it." Li Feixue stood up and said with a smile: "The guard battalion can fight guerrilla warfare, and the people of the Guards have to fight a decisive battle with us. ”

Chen Fan looked at Li Feixue's expression and nodded and said with a smile: "That's why I came to you, I plan to transfer the personal guard battalion and General Gao's cavalry corps to form more than a dozen guerrilla groups to carry out harassment tasks, day and night, using the advantage of the muskets in our hands to gallop outside their camp, so that they will not be at peace for a moment, and force the Qiang Si to fight a decisive battle with us, so as to achieve the goal of winning a battle." ”

Chen Fan's words made everyone nod, but Qian Ning scratched his head a little and said, "I'm afraid that our consumption will be a bit big if we harass it like this, right?" It is indeed not easy for a general like him who is not engaged in cavalry command to carry out this task, but before he finished speaking, Li Feixue took it over and said: "Brother Qian Ning don't have to worry, this matter is left to me and Brother Si, the cavalry has cavalry tactics." In order to achieve enough results in the first wave of attacks, I plan to lead my troops to attack from the left immediately after the meeting, and General Gao will attack from the right flank, starting tonight. Let the logistics department prepare enough war horses and dry food for us. ”

"Chief of staff of logistics, you go and arrange it, give you five days, and in five days I will see the whole army of the Gang Si army go out to fight a decisive battle with our army, and you can do whatever you want in these five days. Remember, find a way as soon as possible, the soldiers on the front line are on duty in the ice and snow to prepare. Chen Fan's words undoubtedly made Li Feixue and Gao Siji let go of their hands and feet, not to be confined to the trouble of frontal combat in the large corps, and to give full play to the advantage of fast cavalry, so that the opponent was tired day and night, so that they had to start a decisive battle with the Tiance army to break the situation of confrontation between the other party and themselves.

Li Feixue and Gao Si followed the order, while Liu Yi also left the tent to arrange the necessary supplies and war horses, and the rest of the people followed Chen Fan to make up for the gap in the frontal battlefield after the transfer of troops. Li Feixue's position was filled by Qian Ning's troops, and the reserves of the frontal corps entered the position in advance to standby, and after Gao Si left, Ge Cunzhou also led the troops to enter, which was equivalent to transferring all the mobile corps. The entire Tiance Army battalion can act as a reserve, that is, the grassland cavalry battalion led by Baixin and the coalition army of 100,000 people. Compared with the steppe cavalry battalion, which is considered the regular establishment of the Tiance Army, the other coalition forces are actually a group of rabble, and they may have good combat power when fighting a tailwind war, but if there is a reversal of the tide of battle, I am afraid that there will be a recurrence at any time.

However, Chen Fan's arrangement would not use these rabble, Baixin's grassland cavalry battalion concentrated half of its manpower and stood by behind the frontal corps, while the others had Baixin's own commander, and only joined the battlefield when pursuing the opponent.

According to Li Feixue's arrangement, he was responsible for splitting the guard battalion into a small team of 100 people, taking advantage of the darkness to touch the vicinity of the opponent's camp to carry out harassment tasks, while Gao Siji led the troops to respond, and if the opponent attacked in a big way, the two sides covered each other, and did roller tactics to continuously consume the opponent's troops. If the opponent does not leave the camp, the two armies will join forces to attack the opponent near the camp using the advantage of the mass fire of muskets. All in all, you can't let the other party have a moment to rest.

On the night of October 27, the second year of the Apocalypse, Li Feixue led the army to raid the camp of Huangjiasi, and started a big battle with the other party in the back camp. After discovering that the battle situation was abnormal, Li Feixue decisively withdrew the troops exploring the road in front, and then the main force in the rear rushed up again. On the other side, without waiting for Li Feixue's message, Gao Siji also broke through from the right side, and the two troops fought in ping-pong all night, and the killing situation was unknown, but they mobilized all the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the entire Huangjiasi camp, and at dawn the Huangjiasi army went out of the camp to prepare for a counterattack, but at this time, Li Feixue and Gao Siji invariably began to command the troops to make a big detour back to the back of their main force.

Before the army could catch its breath, small units of the two armies stepped forward again, this time almost blatantly standing near the gates of the other side's camp and shooting inside. And what is terrible is that Li Feixue pulled two ballistas from the rear, and the explosive bag stained with fire oil shot directly at the opponent's camp tent. However, Li Feixue, who originally thought that he could attack with fire, saw that the camp tent that was finally set on fire by himself was quickly covered with heavy snow, and then only a puff of smoke came out, and then disappeared, and began to put all his ideas on the rifle in his hand. Although the breech gun fired slowly, it could not hold the range far beyond the bow and arrow, and hundreds of squads came and went, covering each other, and constantly penetrating into each other's camps to catch people and shoot directly. This time, Li Feixue and Gao Siji's tactics were tantamount to pressing the other party to go deeper, and they relied on 60,000 troops to make the other party dare not go out of the camp.

Moreover, after approaching the camp, Li Feixue arranged for some people to bypass the front of the other party, repeat the old trick from the back camp, and directly let the other party's hundreds of thousands of livestock out, originally thinking of using the previous strategy to reverse the opponent's big construction into chaos, but because of the cold weather, these livestock scattered and fled because of the cold weather, so angry that Li Feixue scolded while commanding the troops to rush up.

However, after being beaten passively for most of the day, the Qiang side also reacted, and began to dispatch elite cavalry troops to rush forward to drive away the soldiers of the Tiance Army. Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Feixue and Gao Siji began to let the deep squads cover each other and retreat, while the troops in the rear rode forward to respond, so that the whole army was like a dense roller constantly rolling backwards and retreating, and driving these chasing and driving the cavalry of the Ques to keep moving forward.

"Order the troops to start covering each other and shooting, our task is to eat each other one by one, and then repeat the cycle." Li Feixue sneered as he gave the order, raised the rifle in his hand and took aim, and shot down a cavalryman a few hundred meters away in front of him.

Chen Fan on the frontal position in the distance took a group of senior generals to watch Li Xuefei and Gao Siji's cavalry wolves fight on the artillery battalion position, countless cavalry squads rose and fell, cooperating with each other, basically every squad would turn around immediately after firing, and the cavalry squad behind would come up to suppress the chasing soldiers, and the squad in front of him galloped a distance of 100 zhang and quickly reloaded, and then turned the horse's head to meet the squad that covered his own before. And in the middle of the way, if the opponent has too many troops, he will directly call the surrounding allies to participate in the attack.

"Feixue and Siji have practiced their drum tactics well, it's only been a long time, and tens of thousands of troops can be broken into pieces to form such a formation, which is really good." Qian Ning looked at the soldiers of the guard battalion who were galloping all over the field and constantly knocking down the cavalry of the Guards under the horse, and sighed with admiration.

"This is the charge that takes advantage of the fast speed of the cavalry, and can cooperate with each other to make up for the disadvantage of our slow gun loading speed." Chen Fan nodded and said: "This tactic is not suitable for the infantry, the basic tactics of the infantry are still based on the three-stage tactics. The offensive tactics should be three-three tactics. Chen Fan explained the infantry tactics while pointing to these people around him: "Since our rifles do not meet the emperor's requirements, we can't use many tactics now, and the specific infantry tactics are still based on more practice." ”

Chen Fan's words made several people around them nod for a while, they are senior generals of the Tiance Army, and naturally they also know that the musket in Li Xuanqing's mind is a breech gun, but unfortunately there is still a key technology in the equipment department that has not broken through so far, so they can only use breech guns to equip the troops.

"You guys go and prepare immediately, I think if this continues, the Wolves may not be able to resist and lead their troops to attack our large array, thus reversing their current passive situation." Chen Fan asked the others to immediately return to the position to prepare for action, and Liu Yi was left alone by his side.

"Great Marshal, I don't think the Wolves will come towards us, I'm afraid that they will lead the army to attack Feixue and Siji them in a big way, so as to defeat our mobile forces before the big war." Liu Yi was a little disagreeing with Chen Fan's words.

"You, didn't you see that Ge Cunzhou's side was already preparing for action? The retreat location of Feixue's attack happened to be Ge Cunzhou's position, there was no minefield arranged there, and it happened to be within the strike range of our artillery battalion, so Feixue would definitely attract the attention of all enemy troops to Ge Cunzhou's side. Therefore, the artillery battalion will launch an artillery attack in advance, thus pulling the opponent into the battlefield and forcing them to enter the decisive battle in advance. Chen Fan pointed to the direction of the retreat of the guard battalion and nodded: "You go and command the artillery battalion to adjust the firing coordinates, as long as the guard battalion is out of the foundation of the Hejia people and immediately shell, so as to notify Ge Cunzhou to attack." ”

The artillery battalion that Liu Yi took over quickly turned the muzzle of the gun, adjusted the firing distance according to the pre-adjusted firing report, and kept an eye on the pro-guard battalion after it broke away from contact with the Tunis and began to fire the Janis troops who were following them.

Due to the continuous harassment and attack of the night and the morning, the irritability and anger of the Hangs people reached the extreme, and the retreat of the Guards Battalion at this time was considered by them to be a sign of another large-scale attack, so not only the Hawks cavalry who participated in the attack on the front line began to attack on their own, but the headquarters of the Hawkan army in the large camp also began to send a large number of cavalry to participate, but this time it was the Tartar cavalry.

"Fire now." Liu Yi directly ordered to fire, and the forty guns in the front of the two hundred cannons ignited in an instant and launched an artillery bombardment towards the front, almost at the same time, the frontal gunfire of Ge Cunzhou's corps also began to sound, and the sound of 30,000 rifles firing together almost covered the huge sound of the artillery.

Chen Fan watched the row of beaten cavalry in front of him turn over on their backs, and the huge explosion that followed after the cannonball landed, even the cavalry in the rear was blown over.

"Marshal, this latest artillery of ours is too powerful, it won't scare these Legis armies back, right?" Liu Yi, the commander, was frightened by the power of the latest artillery under his command, only to see that there were countless large craters behind the thick smoke in the area in front of him, which was still cold and most of the soil was frozen, otherwise he was afraid that it would explode even bigger. The cavalry that took the shelling area was blown to pieces, and the sand and gravel and severed arms and limbs that flew far away became the largest weapons, directly sweeping a large number of cavalry around it to the ground.

"Don't worry, it's too late for them to retreat now, their rear army has already rushed up." Chen Fan stepped forward and shook his head and said, "Order Lu Yi and Qian Ning to prepare immediately, Huang Jiasi probably can't wait, they should think that our main forces are on Ge Cunzhou's side, so we will start immediately." ”

Chen Fan's order quickly resounded throughout the battlefield with the loud military horn, this kind of passionate military horn almost made Li Feixue, who had just retreated, think that he was going to counterattack, but fortunately, Gao Siji next to him grabbed him to stop this guy's riot.

"Brother Si, let's immediately organize our troops and horses and detour behind this big camp, and when their whole army assaults on us, we will attack from behind." Li Feixue watched the army of the Gang Si swarming out from dozens of miles in the distance, attacking the Tiance army's large array, and her eyes rolled and she suddenly came up with an idea.

Li Feixue's words made Gao Siji stunned for a moment, and then saw that the artillery battalion had begun to adjust its deployment, and the foothold of the artillery bombardment began to gradually move towards the main camp position, and immediately nodded, although Li Feixue's idea was bold and reckless, it could be regarded as dispatching the mobile forces of the Tiance Army in advance, but there was no doubt that for the charge of the huge cavalry corps of 300,000 people, his method would definitely reduce the pressure on the front line to the greatest extent and distract the attention of the commander of the Commander, so as to provide time and conditions for the main army to annihilate the living forces, And most importantly, as the tide of battle continued, they also played a heavy role in the pursuit of the army of the Legas. Otherwise, relying on those tribal alliances, it is estimated that they are really not the opponents of the elite of the Quegas.

Gao Siji nodded and then quickly reorganized the troops with Li Feixue and then made a detour to the rear of the camp of the Qiangs, at this time Li Feixue and Gao Siji may not know that their actions undoubtedly accelerated the pace of victory in this war, and the most important thing was to provide enough time for the frontal corps to block the main force of the Qiangs.
