Chapter 206: Heaven Collapses (12)

Circumference is actually a psychological tactic.

The ancients did not advocate siege warfare, and only fought sieges as a last resort.

In order to prevent the defenders of the city from fighting the beasts, the besieging side usually does not besiege the city to death, leaving a gap for the defenders of the city to see hope to break through the gap. Those besieging the city will lay ambushes at the gaps, and wait until the defenders in the city break through to ambush and annihilate the defenders who break through, so as to achieve the effect of besieging the city.

Huang Yongtao's strategy was not wise, and the root cause was that Huang Yongtao had not fought with the Liao army, and he did not know the details of the Liao army. The great victory achieved by the Qin army and the Wu private army stimulated Huang Yongtao to fight against Liao, and this great victory gave Huang Yongtao the illusion that the Liao army was nothing more than that.

Huang Yongtao thinks very highly of himself, what the Qin army and the Wu clan can do, he can naturally do, he is unwilling to admit that the private soldiers of the Huang clan are inferior to the private soldiers of the Wu clan of the Qin army. Huang Yongtao also has the idea of using this battle to prove to the outside world the local power of the Huang people.

Since the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, after the Xuanwu Battalion and the Xuanfeng Battalion fled without a battle spread, the reputation of the Huang private soldiers was not very good. Huang Yongtao also hoped that the First World War would wash away the disgraceful history of the Huang private soldiers.

At this time, 30,000 Liao troops gathered in Haizhou City, plus Yu Yansong's additional 30,000 Yu private soldiers in Haizhou City, the strength of Haizhou City increased sharply to 60,000 people. And Huang Yongtao poured out this time, and the total number of soldiers and horses dispatched reached 50,000.

In terms of numbers, Huang Yongtao is already at a disadvantage. However, the top of the Huang clan despised intelligence. Before attacking Haizhou City, he did not even carefully investigate the situation of the Liao army in Haizhou City. Huang Yongtao had no idea that the number of Liao troops stationed in Haizhou City had reached 60,000, and that the number of Haizhou defenders had exceeded that of Huang's private soldiers.

"Since Huang Yongtao doesn't know what to do, he has also come up with an old-fashioned tactic of encircling three and missing one." Wan Yan paused, his eyes suddenly lit up, "We'll take care of it." ”

Before Wan Yanfushen's injuries healed, he had already moved his Shuai Mansion to the Haizhou front. Wanyan Shengcong is out on the expedition, and he must guard the family of Liaodong Wanyan Shengcong for him.

Wanyan Fushen's so-called plan is to obey Huang Yongtao's idea, lead his troops to feint and break through from the gap, and wait until Huang Yongtao's Huang private soldiers mistakenly think that they have entered the ambush circle at the intermediate level, and then lead the main force to attack and defeat the Huang private soldiers in one fell swoop, so as to break the offensive of the Huang private soldiers and relieve the siege of Haizhou City.

On the same day, the Liao army led his troops to break through from the gap reserved by Huang Yongtao, and Huang Yongtao was overjoyed when he saw this, thinking that the Liao army could not bear the huge pressure of the Huang people's strong troops, and chose to break through.

According to Wanyan Fu's cautious deployment, there were more than 10,000 Liao troops pretending to break through, which was just the number of defenders of Haizhou City under normal circumstances. It is also the number of defenders of Haizhou City that Huang Yongtao predicted.

At first, Huang Yongtao thought that there was fraud in this, after all, this surprise came too unexpectedly, and the Liao army almost followed the routine set by Huang Yongtao step by step, until he stepped into the trap designed by Huang Yongtao.

Huang Yongtao maintained the last shred of caution, which was to confirm the number of Liao troops who broke through.

Soon Huang Yongtao got the answer he wanted, and the outpost reported that the number of Liao troops breaking through was as high as 10,000. Huang Yongtao's defenders of the Liao army in Haizhou City were also estimated to be more than 10,000 people. The number of Liao troops who broke through also confirmed Huang Yongtao's guess, and Huang Yongtao no longer had any scruples, and was absolutely sure that this was all the defenders in Haizhou City.

Huang Yongtao's heart is agitated: The Liao army has a plan! As long as the Liao army is in the middle of the plan and leaves Haizhou City, without the protection of the city wall, Huang Yongtao can annihilate the Liao army in Haizhou City with a numerical advantage. With the annihilation of this group of Liao troops, the Huang clan will be able to capture 10,000 heads.

This 10,000-level head is still the real head of the pure Manshu Liao army. With the strength of one clan, he obtained the first rank of the Liao army of the Manshu tribe of more than 10,000 levels. Reclaim another important city. This kind of battle is greater than the last time the Qin army, the Wu clan, and the He clan cooperated together!

With such a record, who would dare to underestimate the Huang clan! The original stain of the Huang clan will also be covered by these dazzling lights.

Huang Yongtao seemed to have seen victory beckoning to him, and Huang Yongtao, who thought that the Liao army had entered the trap, was stepping into the trap set for him by the Liao army step by step, and he was unaware.

More than 10,000 iron horsemen came out of Haizhou City, shouting all day long, smoke and dust billowed out, and the world was dark.

The sound of more than 10,000 iron horsemen trampling on the ground was deafening, and the ambushed Huang private soldiers felt the earth trembling.

"Kill!" The Liao army officer led by the flag battled, and the Liao army iron cavalry behind him only followed behind the banner, holding a knife to cover up and kill.

"Shoot! Array! ”

The tactics practiced by the private soldiers of the Huang clan are the same as those of the town army, and in the north, whether it is the town army or the private soldiers of the four great families, their opponents are the same. They are all nomads outside the Cypriots who are good at riding and shooting.

It was difficult for the Central Plains Dynasty to maintain a cavalry of the same size as the nomads to restrain the nomads, who had an innate advantage in cavalry. This is something that the Central Plains Dynasty can't imitate no matter how much it imitates.

There was the Zhao Dynasty, except for the Song Taizong Dynasty, when the martial arts were very prosperous, and it was only during the period that the huge cavalry system with a number of 300,000 was maintained. Due to the fact that the Central Plains Dynasty needed to support 300,000 cavalry, the imperial court could not bear it, and the Central Plains was difficult to produce excellent war horses. The 300,000 cavalry was reduced to 200,000 to save money.

Later, with the weakening of the Zhao Dynasty, and the loss of horses in Northeast Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang, Northwest Xinjiang and other places. War horses were even more stretched, and the formation of cavalry was repeatedly reduced.

The cavalry was difficult to sustain, and the Zhao Dynasty had no choice but to find another way and adopt other tactics to restrain the nomadic cavalry. The most common and common tactic of the Zhao army was to ride on foot, with infantry arraying to meet the cavalry.

It also proved that the formation formed by the foot soldiers after training to meet the standard was enough to fight the nomadic cavalry. It can be seen that whether it is the town army or the private soldiers of the four great families, the tactics of dealing with the invasion of external nomads are the same and there is no difference.

After the sound of artillery, the private soldiers of the Huang nationality who were ambushed on both sides lined up and attacked from both flanks of the Liao army, and their intention was obvious: to encircle and annihilate the Liao army.

The Liao army ignored the private soldiers of the Huang clan who came from the two breads and continued to rush forward.

There is a rule in the Liao army that once an order to charge is given, no matter what happens, the soldiers under must carry out the charge order that has been issued to the end, otherwise they will be punished as deserters, and it has been found that they can directly correct the law on the spot.

The cavalry charge mainly relies on the impact force and the high energy accumulated when the horses gallop, and the advantage of one energy disrupts or even breaks through the enemy's formation. (To be continued.) )
