Chapter 293 The Nine Counts in the Middle
Han Wang waited for Yinshuke and Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongbi brought three hundred heavy horses, and Yinkeshu led three hundred light horses, indicating his determination to join forces with Han Wang and defeat Xiao Gan together. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Zaixing pursed his lips, "What is this bit of soldiers and horses for?" ”
Han Wang knew very well that these two were Jurchen wise generals and fierce generals, and the combat power of six hundred people was definitely higher than that of the same number of consecutive victories. If there was a suspicion before the war, how could this cooperate, "Hugh is rude, punished with twenty military sticks, and go to the gendarmerie department to collect it after the war"
Yinshu laughed, "Don't be angry, you don't have to be angry, we have lost all our faces in the previous battle, and we are laughing at ourselves." Now Your Majesty has let us lead the remnants of the defeated army, just with the idea of dying in battle, if you have any orders, just say it! ”
"The total annihilation of Xiao Gan's 15,000 people is due to the persistence of the nameless heights, and the second is to block his escape route. Xiao Gan has 6,000 cavalry and 9,000 foot soldiers, so the difficulty lies in how to gather the 6,000 cavalry to encircle and annihilate. ”
Yinshu Ke looked at the terrain and suddenly said, "Once the war starts, we will be responsible for absorbing the Khitan cavalry and the woods, and then the lord will send troops to counter-encircle."
Yang Zaixing couldn't help but sigh, this position is not far or close, but six hundred to six thousand, the ratio is still very large. If the rescue is delayed, the whole army may be wiped out. Yinshu actually picked the hardest bone to gnaw, which surprised everyone.
Han Wangzhi didn't have such a big surprise, after all, he knew better how much weight the two Jurchen generals were in Yinshu and Wanyan Zongbi. Six hundred to six thousand, the Khitans are not necessarily their opponents.
Han Wang did not delay any longer, but for the sake of insurance, he arranged for Yang Zaixing to hide in the woods, and cooperated with Yinshuke and Wanyan Zongbi to strangle the Khitan cavalry. When Luo Yanqing and Xu Qing waited for the Khitan infantry to attack the nameless heights, they swept with light cavalry and solved Xiao Gan's main force in one battle.
Han Wang said to Yinshu, "General, rest assured, although the Khitan soldiers are menacing, they will be tired after a long journey." Moreover, the two armies of yours and ours, fighting against the water, will definitely give up their lives and forget death, and they will definitely be able to suppress each other in terms of momentum. You and Yang Zaixing must hold off the Liao cavalry for two quarters of an hour."
Yinshu took the reins of the horse, and said to Han Wang, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely be able to do it in two quarters of an hour!" ”
Wanyan Zongbi said unequivocally, "Don't worry, sir, even if there is no General Yang, we will fight the cavalry of the Liao army." ”
Yinshuke's face froze, "Zong Bi, Hugh is talking nonsense, the lord has made proper arrangements, we only have to listen!" ”
Han Wang didn't have the heart to worry about these trivial matters with them, so he nodded and told the two, "Go and get ready, Xiao Gan will be here soon."
As soon as the arrangements were made, Xiao Gan's army was overwhelming, and the barricade army was already on guard for ten miles on both sides of the road to guard against a sneak attack by the enemy. A high earthen platform, with a large dense forest on the left and a high mountain on the right, only the middle road is passable.
Pu Aima led the infantry army to the high ground, Xiao Gan led the cavalry to press the formation, and in the face of such a narrow battlefield attack channel, Xiao Gan was very unhappy. With such terrain, even if he attacked this high platform, he would have to pay at least a few hundred more lives, and Han Wang's choice of location was really tricky.
Pu Aima pointed to the high platform and asked, "King, the high platform is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is there any other way?" ”
Xiao Gelia had just defeated the Jurchens, and his heart was high, so he said, "An earthen platform, a matter of moments"
Xiao Gan was a little distressed, "The Liansheng army has firearms, which is very powerful, and I am worried that when the intensive charge is made, Han Wang suddenly bombs, and our side will inevitably suffer heavy casualties." ”
Everyone couldn't help but think of the consequences of Han Wang's use of explosives last time, and the two elite Liao cavalry were all wiped out. I paid more attention to Han Wang.
Pu Aima thought for a while and said, "If you can make a trebuchet, you can attack the high platform from a long distance, so as to stop the shooting of Han Wang's firearms troops and greatly reduce the damage of the attacking troops." ”
Xiao Gan was overjoyed, this relationship is good, with a trebuchet, labor and management can snap you at a distance of four hundred steps. Ordered people to gather skilled craftsmen in the army and pay close attention to production. No timber, a large wooded area here, no manpower? More than 10,000 people are all, how much do you want? But what the labor and management needed was ten trebuchets and a large number of stones.
There is not an hour in which the craftsmen cannot make a simple version of the trebuchet. So he cut down trees in the woods and built trebuchets not far from the high platform. One, two, three... There are ten in total, and this simple version of the trebuchet can load about ten catties of stones and throw them to a distance of 300 to 400 steps.
A large number of soldiers began to excavate large and small stones, and at the same time made appropriately sized thatched balls for fire attack. Every time one was manufactured, Xiao Gan immediately debugged it, so from time to time there was a sound of "Woo Woo" on the high platform, or a ball of fire tumbling and burning everywhere.
It seems that the level of the craftsmen of the Liao Kingdom is really good, out of ten trebuchets, only one has a little bias problem, and the other nine are very accurate. Xiao Gan was greatly satisfied, with this trebuchet, he was not afraid of Han Wang's rocket at all.
Xiao Gelia looked eagerly at these long-distance large-scale siege equipment, and knew that these were very powerful. Ben Baba looked for Xiao Gan, and wanted to lead troops to cooperate with trebuchets to capture the nameless heights. Xiao Gan pointed to the cavalry under his command,
"Go quickly, find out the Jurchen and Great Song cavalry, and pay special attention to whether there are ambushers in the woods",
Shoglia was overjoyed, and with six thousand cavalry swords, he immediately began to clear the field along the great woods. Everywhere I went, the dust was flying and the momentum was huge. Yang Zaixing, Li Qing, Wanyan Zongbi and Yinshu could find out that Xiao Gelia was about to discover everyone's hiding place, and instead of letting him find out, it was better to rush out and beat him now.
Several generals discussed it properly, and the troops were divided into three ways to kill the Liao cavalry. Wanyan Zongbi's 300 heavy cavalry advanced from east to west, Yang Zaixing's 200 heavy cavalry advanced from east to west, and Yinshu could take 300 light cavalry to attack the middle.
In this way, Shoglia was defenseless at all, and there were actually three such ruthless characters killed in such a small place. For a while, all the men and horses were urgently gathered, and the six thousand people were quickly organized to besiege Han Wang and Zong Bi. In addition, troops and personnel will be deployed to resist the silver technique.
Xiao Gan soon discovered that the Southern Dynasty and the Jurchens attacked at the same time. smiled, no matter how cunning the fox is, it can't escape the hunter's good skills. Who will not keep a hand in this year, and ordered it to go down, and specially dispatched 2,000 people to follow up urgently.
Hu Jin's gang of Nanban really colluded with the Jurchens, or they could be solved in a war. The total number of enemy troops was no more than 3,000 men, 15,000 against 3,000, most of them were still victorious troops, as long as they could avoid the blows of firearms, they would be sure of nine out of ten.
Ah Gu was on the sidelines, watching the formation of the two armies, nodding incessantly, such a needle-point against Mai Mang, it was the real battle. (To be continued.) )
