Chapter 304: Battle Huaibei Thirteen
"General training, you don't need to take risks lightly......"
The young Yu Hou who caught up with him said in a deep voice.
"Leave it to us to chase the enemy......
"There is an order up and down, and each has its own responsibility, which is the way to achieve long-term results......"
"As the chief instructor of the army, if you can't take the lead......
Han Liangchen, who was stained red in fish scale armor, waved his hand and said without hesitation
"What's the point of that......
Then he cut off the head of the man and threw it to the marquis who accompanied him.
"Let people tell if it's the main ......"
Although there were still various problems such as language barriers, when we approached those small cannons under the protection of spears and shields, and unhurriedly killed hundreds of people on the hills, these stubborn enemies of the trapped beasts were divided and civil strife, and dozens of heads were cut off and sent to me along with bundles of weapons and flags.
The combat effectiveness of these border armies of the North Korea is still okay, but they are in the wrong place and choose the wrong opponent. But the news I got was not so optimistic, it was just a striker.
Half a day later, the teaching team that Han Liangchen brought to intercept also returned, and also brought back the head of the enemy general who had escaped, and identified those prisoners to determine that it was Dong Huting, the general of the Northern Dynasty who was also the governor of the domain.
The actual lieutenant general of the Northern Dynasty is also the general of the border army, which is almost equivalent to the commander of the Yanbian of the Southern Dynasty.
It's a pity that the other party also has some skills in his hands, and he almost let him escape, so in the end he still couldn't, otherwise the credit would be even greater if he was captured alive, you must know that the generals of the Northern Dynasty of the same specification, even since the start of the war, have not been able to capture a few.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Jiu'er's other rescue team also reported back, they found the baggage of the enemy's rear team, and from the mouth of the soldiers who came back from the rout, after hearing that the previous division was all destroyed, almost all of the remaining baggage soldiers hesitated in place.
After seeing the 20 or so cavalry capture teams that had caught up, they immediately dispersed in a hurry, and without even a little burning or destruction measures, they were thrown to us intact.
This was a great harvest, according to the books found therein, in which all kinds of armor, money, and military supplies were said to have been rationed for twenty days for eight thousand men and horses, and there were additional silver silks to reward the soldiers, as well as the looting and plundering along the way.
However, the most valuable of them are not the materials they escort, but the animal power that is responsible for carrying them. Because it was a long-distance march to mobilize the army, there was not a single large animal such as other donkeys and mules, but all horses were used to undertake it, and most of them were the standard military horses used by the army in the northern part of the country.
The life capture team that returned first, one person brought back two additional horses, which caused quite a stir in the camp, even if Han Liangchen saw it, he couldn't help but have his eyes light up and admire, not to mention the generals who were about to salivate.
This is a northland horse with oily coat, heavy body and body, although it is not a border name breed, but a grassland horse with a majority of mixed breeds, but it is not the majority of the people we use, the kind of mountain horse in the south that is relatively short and stout, and is known for its endurance and weight, which can be compared.
In terms of size, even the carefully selected mount, "Grizzly Panda V", under my crotch, is somewhat dwarfed.
Therefore, after pulling it out for comparison, the grizzly panda almost immediately came over, licked its big tongue with a loud nose, and swirled around the back of its hips, making all kinds of flattering gestures, which made people can't help it.
Because it was a marching need, these horses were based on the standards of nomadic migration, and most of them were selected with relatively tame and gentle mares, with a small number of sturdy stallions to ensure that they did not run wild.
I chose one of the crimson horses as a replacement mount, such a daily march, a wartime mount, and thus the new "Red Tiger IX" was born.
The others were distributed as rewards on the spot to those outstanding officers, and even Zhang Xian, the newly released deputy of the regiment, also got a blue and gray horse, and suddenly he couldn't avoid the vulgar eyes reluctant to move away, eager to stick together all day long.
Don't underestimate the influence of war horses on these ancients, as one of the most important military materials and national strength since ancient times, the number of military horses, and even the number of war horses, just like the hard power of the great powers in later generations, the size of the armored mechanized corps, and the number of tanks and armored vehicles are average, which is an almost unchanging hard indicator.
Even have a group of good horses with excellent pedigree in the people, such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and even Lamborghini in later generations, and other means of showing off their wealth, and status symbols.
Therefore, if we can obtain these horses in good condition, and after changing their outfits and taming them over time, the mobility and combat range of our troops will be further improved.
"Pro-direct regiment, pacesetter regiment ......"
I rode on horseback and said,
"Come with me to receive ......"
"The rest of the troops then followed......"
"Pretty ......"
A loud voice of response.
The location of the discovery and interception of the baggage team is more than ten miles away, but the road is a little tortuous, and it doesn't take too much time to rush over, but I still feel that it is a little long, after all, if you delay for a while, there will be more variables.
If those horses were frightened and ran away, it would be a very painful loss for me, who had already made a full plan. Under this kind of thought, even the slight swelling pain under the crotch was ignored.
"New Enemy......
I narrowed my eyes and said,
"It's a banner that belongs to friendly forces......"
Yao Pingzhong, who was probing in front, ran back to my side and said
Immediately, I saw that it was an infantry army, about the size of a regiment and a half, and the largest one of the main flags had the word "Changlin" written on it.
They were surrounding the baggage that was on the road together, and many of them were dragging their carts and horses to both sides, carrying the baggage.
Needless to say, I also understood, this is obviously to grab the loot, after seeing us galloping, this centaur was also a little surprised, and immediately put down the work in their hands, adjusted a formation, and faced it head-on.
"Clear a way for me......"
I commanded.
"Get them out of my way......"
After hearing the news, the cavalry that drove the way quickly approached the friendly array, and suddenly threw out several fire and thunder bullets, which were thrown on the ground in front of them, and a loud sound splashed a cloud of dust, which immediately startled those nervous officers and soldiers, and suddenly dispersed a gap.
The pacesetters behind me dismounted and rushed forward, pushing and squeezing the friendly soldiers with their cards, opening a way for the rest of the horses to rush in, occupying and controlling the remaining wagons and horses.
Then I was on horseback and was relieved to see a dozen or so captors standing behind the wagons and horses piled up in the middle with torches.
After two rounds, the pacesetters also disengaged at the sound of the order, maintaining some kind of confrontation with these friendly forces, at least the other party was a little flustered, but refused to leave,
"We're guarding these captured ,......"
The lead catcher reported the sound of the urn
"And the centaurs appeared,"
"Without saying a word, we will take away our baggage and livestock......"
"It's useless to negotiate...... They still want to take advantage of the overwhelming number of people to detain us."
"I put more than a dozen on the spot, and thanks to the old cow who took advantage of it and captured the leader, the confrontation came down......"
Only then did I notice that in Niu Gao's hands and feet, there were still a few gray-headed and dusty people in officer uniforms, and I laughed.
"Well done......"
I said how those friendly troops were a little dull and sluggish, it turned out that the leader was captured.
Then I had the stuffing out of the mouth of one of the captives, who hurriedly shouted
"I am the Jiangxi Zhaosi Xiangfan Road system, and the Changlin Army is under the command of the left command......"
"Er Jian dares to be so presumptuous, aren't you afraid of strict military law?"
But I kicked him and broke it, and stomped his face straight into the dirt.
"Since I can't see the shape clearly, I can't speak human words......"
I sneered.
"Then let him suffer a little more...... Next ยป
"My generation was ordered to pursue the Northern Army,"
Another officer who had been gagged said.
"But he was troubled by the ministry, what is the reason......
"Avoid the important and light, or is it like playing tricks with me......"
I snorted again, filling my old fist and re-plugging it.
"Next ......"
"This, this, this must be a misunderstanding......"
This one finally learned his lesson and lowered his profile a lot.
"What a big misunderstanding......"
"Finally there is a ...... who can speak human words"
I nodded in command
"Someone comes to loosen the tie and talk ......"
"My department was ordered to send people across the border, but I ran into so many baggage ......"
The man stammered and continued
"Those who led the team couldn't help but want to share some benefits"
"But I didn't think that there were more than a dozen people in your department guarding me, and I felt that the few people could deceive greed, so I had such a ...... of right and wrong."
"But there is no other intention......
"Tell me all about what you know......"
I nodded and encouraged
"If you say it in detail, I can not only let you go back to pass the word, but also give some gifts......"
At this time, the old trumpet sounded again on the road in the distance, but it was the follow-up brigade that also followed, and I was relieved to stand up and command
"Detain all these robbers for me......
"Those who dare to resist will be killed......"
"Lao Tzu still has to go to Shuai Si to fight a lawsuit...... accuse him of crossing the border and attacking friendly troops."
Xuzhou, Qiao City
Liu Yanqing, who had just finished delivering the military order, walked through the filled trenches and broken doorways, and saw more than a dozen fire dragons dragging light smoke soaring away on the high raised carriage.
Diagonally over the heads of countless engineering equipment and soldiers and civilians, they fell heavily on the city wall, turning into a large cloud of bursting fire and smoke, as well as the human body that was smoked black and rolled down, whether it was above or below the city, they were as small as ants.
"Spitfire Thunder? โฆโฆโ
He muttered to himself, could this large firearm be transported by sea?
Between the towering stone cannons (trebuchets), ballistas, and large catapults, there are also gun bases with exposed tall wheels.
The sound of the cannon resounded again, and with the vibration of the retreating frame, the gunners used it again, pushing and pulling the gun body to reset, cleaning the chamber, wiping it to cool down, readjusting the firing angle, fixing it with a wooden plug, and then began to charge the barrel with residual warmth and smoke.
After a long and suffocating wait, the roar of fire and smoke smashed a corner of the city wall, stirring up a cloud of debris and smoke, and the defenders, who were at least half on fire, were settled.
But more of the cannonballs were hit in the middle of the city walls, turning into one of the old and new craters that cracked in the form of cobwebs, or high overhead, in the dwellings behind the walls, causing some kind of unwarranted calamity.
The first time everyone saw so many steel giants gathered in a pile to make a threat, they would inevitably be a little intoxicated, and then deeply awe,
This is the fourth day that they have been blocked in front of this tooth city, maybe there should be some results today, looking at the crowd of people pouring up the city along the ladder they were leaning on, Liu Yanqing squinted his eyes and thought.
This is the essence of Qingxu Town, it is worthy of being the first batch of old feudal towns formed after the Yiwei Change, and its predecessor and origin can even be traced back to hundreds of years ago, one of the periphery of the Longwu Department, Tian Chenghei, left a line of Qingzi Army.
is such a Zhixi Town, one of the six towns in Xuzhou, it is so difficult to gnaw, filling up the peripheral sub-cities, and Guo Cheng is stubbornly resisting, bulldozing Guo Cheng and Yacheng are continuing to hold on.
The farther north you advance, the more intense and pressure you feel of resistance, and every day at least tens of thousands of people are compressed and piled up on a staggered front, fighting day and night, and then pushing north with cities and towns reduced to ashes and rubble.
Because of the size and load, the navy of the national dynasty could not enter the canal for the time being, but the vehicles and boats owned by Qingxu Town could travel between the tributaries of the canal relatively conveniently, and transport supplies and soldiers to the fortresses along the coast.
Therefore, even if it is fighting in a relatively flat water network area, it has to use the whole line to advance step by step, the death method of uprooting the key points one by one, using the great advantage of materials and soldiers, and fighting with the northern army without ingenuity and cunning, and the casualty ratio, this kind of battle without technical content is the type that a general like him dislikes the most.
With the general trend step by step, except for high-intensity encounters in a small area, there are few opportunities for them to show their personal strategy and military strategy, just follow the flow of troops to advance and pile up.
According to the subordinates in the rear, the Shenji Army of the Lianguo Dynasty was divided into more than a dozen detachments, which were temporarily assigned to various departments as a reinforcement of the attacking force.
This is also the most boring and the most prudent strategic deployment for the southeast road, which compresses the space for their own tactics to play, and does not give the enemy much opportunity to take advantage of it, forcing them to only do a dignified frontal battle.
This is obviously the way to build a stable and important rear base camp.
