Chapter 961: The Final Battle (2)
The forbidden army could not hold out, and the Liao army did not have a very good way except to attack with trebuchets. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But the trebuchet is too hard to fight, once the artillery of the forbidden army is in trouble, not to mention the trebuchet, even the Liao soldiers who operate the trebuchet, it is difficult to escape.
The Khitans are also human beings, no matter how brave they are, they won't kill themselves, right? I have seen a lot, and these Khitans have also learned to be obedient. Once two or three stone bullets were fired, they dispersed in a hurry, and no matter how the generals in the Liao army beat and scolded, they would not come back.
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. The forbidden army also learned well, and sent dozens of brand-new clairlooms from China, and as soon as they saw the Liao army fiddling with trebuchets, the artillery was ready to be in place, killing many Khitans. So much so that as soon as the Liao soldiers heard that they were going to fiddle with the trebuchet, their heads shook like rattles, and they said that they would not go.
Later, the Liao army had no choice but to put the attack time into the evening.
In this way, a full-scale artillery battle began.
The forbidden army was no longer stingy with shells, and from time to time they fired a shell, which made the Khitans scramble for a while.
Human adaptability is the strongest, and now the Khitan people already know that this is not a demon law, but a new type of weapon. Over time, their nerves have become numb. Not to mention artillery, even if the thunder rings in the ears, it is just a matter of idleness.
The confrontation between the two armies is a small fight, today I will attack the battalion, and tomorrow you will set a fire.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. The two sides fought happily, but with little success, and no one could help anyone.
Seeing that autumn is coming, the horses of the Khitan people are also fat, and the forbidden army will not be easily dispatched. Although they had the advantage of firearms, the Khitans still had the strongest field combat ability, and their mobility was first-class in the world. If the two sides fought a decisive battle in the field, the chances of the forbidden army not being very good. The charge of thousands of troops and horses was too shocking, as if Pei Mo could resist it.
No wonder the Khitans were so arrogant before, arrogance has his own capital.
Although the forbidden army has not suffered any losses these days, it can't bargain for anything, and even the dead and wounded are not bad with the Khitans.
This made some anxious generals angry, and they complained everywhere, and they almost didn't bomb the camp.
Especially Yang Huaiyu, he danced the most happily and screamed the most.
"I said, brother-in-law, can't you persuade the captain? What does it look like to be in the camp all day? Those Khitans showed off their might outside, and he could endure it? Yang Huaiyu complained to Wang Shao, very puzzled.
Wang Shao took a moment and looked at the map calmly: "What are you anxious about?" ”
"What's the hurry? The army consumes countless grains and grass every day, and this is all the blood and sweat of the people! Yang Huaiyu almost didn't jump.
Wang Shao didn't raise his head: "It turns out that you learned this when you were in the Royal Military Academy." Why don't you learn the most important things, but learn some minor things? ”
"What else is there to be food and grass? If the court is dragged down, we ...... We are sinners through the ages! Yang Huaiyu paced back and forth in the tent, looking very impatient.
Wang Shao sighed and raised his head: "Can't you be quiet and honestly judge the situation?" ”
Yang Huaiyu said angrily: "Daddy still wants to see me make a contribution, but what should I take to see his old man?" ”
Wang Shao was stunned for a moment, and then understood why Yang Huaiyu was so impatient. It turned out that Yang Wenguang's body was getting worse day by day, and there was not much time left to see the sun waning. For the generals are like this, they have been fighting horses all their lives, and they look majestic, but under the southern and northern wars, I don't know how many secret wounds there are.
Once the dark injury occurs, it is Da Luo Jinxian, and it can't be saved.
In fact, they didn't know that this was because Yang Wenguang retired from the front line many years earlier and recuperated, so that he could survive for a long time. According to the official history, Yang Wenguang has already died. Now I have lived almost a year more, which is already a blessing.
"It's useless for you to be in a hurry!" Wang Shao was also a little angry, "Now that the Khitans are strong and strong, we have to fight a decisive battle with them, and the chances of victory are too small." It's better to stick to ...... place."
"Stick to the spot, stick to the spot, hold on to it until when!" Yang Huaiyu was so angry that he rushed to the crown, but he couldn't find any way to vent, and the green tendons burst out one by one, "I might as well go to the border army, they still have a battle to fight!" ”
It turned out that Yelu Hongji was unwilling to accept the southern grasslands to be occupied by Dashun, and in a fit of rage, he launched the private army of the nobles and began to break into pieces and harass the herdsmen. This time it was terrible, and directly dragged the border army into the water, one attacked, the other defended, although the Khitans were fast, they couldn't take any advantage.
They couldn't figure out why, after being under the jurisdiction of Dashun officials for a period of time, those Khitans not only did not help them, but instead provided intelligence to the Dashun border army, so that they could not take any advantage at all.
The Khitan aristocratic private army has limited combat effectiveness, and the weapons are also varied, and the border army is not inferior to them except for the slightly weaker war horses, but more advantageous.
In the end, these aristocratic private armies saw that they couldn't take advantage, so they had to go back in disgrace, and they didn't have a face to see anyone.
However, there are examples of the palace tent army being evenly divided, and they can't help the Dashun border army, which doesn't seem to be a shameful thing.
It's just that they didn't expect that the saying that "the Khitans are not invincible in the world, and the Han people are not weak and can be bullied" has begun to take root in the hearts of the people. By the time they realize something is wrong, it's too late.
Autumn turns to winter, and it enters October, and the grassland is bleak, the weather is terriblely gloomy, and the temperature is getting lower and lower day by day. Even the Khitans themselves were shivering with cold.
Everyone looked at the sky, not knowing when a heavy snow would fall.
If there are poor and sour literati here, I am afraid that they will have to chant a poem "The north wind sweeps the white grass and folds, and the snow flies in August".
This is indeed a "general's horn bow is not controlled, and it is difficult to protect the iron clothes." The sea is dry and icy, and the gloomy clouds are bleak and condensed. The Chinese army returned with wine and drinks, Huqin pipa and Qiang flute. The snow is falling in the twilight, and the wind is blowing the red flag and not turning over", in addition to the fact that there has never been snow, the weather is already very cold.
In the big tent of the forbidden army, there was a red charcoal fire, and the generals were discussing how to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army.
This is also the reason why the doctors prefer to wait until winter, they have light cotton clothes, which are both warm and cold, and occupy a certain advantage compared to the heavy leather jackets of the Khitans.
In addition, in this bad weather, the factor of the war horse has dropped to a negligible level, once the wind and snow are too heavy, and the war horse is not very cold-resistant, how can it brave the cold to fight?
In this way, most of the forbidden troops were foot soldiers, but they became an advantage.
Wang Shao looked at the generals who were discussing fiercely, felt the temperature of the charcoal fire placed aside, and said in his heart: "No wonder the Khitan people want to go south so much, it turns out that the north is so cold, cold to the bone, it's really not a place for people to stay!" Linhuang Mansion is like this, what about the place to the north? ”
