Chapter 190: Change of Moves

On the fourth watch, the Jin army camp was lively, eating and feeding the horses to prepare for today's battle, when the day was bright, they had lined up and waited for the other party to fight, but the Liao army was really lazy enough until the third pole of the day, the Jin army scolded outside for a long time, and the door of the 'Liao army' camp was closed and no one answered.

Seeing that the sun was shining on the top of the brain, the Liao army still did not move, and several generals took turns to ask for the battle to lead the troops to attack, but they were all rejected by Zong Han, which made everyone very depressed. Marshal, what's the matter? Seeing his dry throat and hoarseness, boils and swelling, toothache and swelling, irritability and insomnia, epistaxis bleeding, red and yellow tongue, and lack of urine and dry stools, he was obviously in a hurry, but he didn't attack after standing for a long time, and I don't know what he was waiting for?

In fact, Zong Han was really angry, but it was not only yesterday's small defeat, but mainly caused by his brother. After deciding to attack the Song Dynasty, one route was led by him to go south from the west road, and the other way was Han Libu's troops, who would first attack Yanshan Mansion, and then capture Zhending, and finally make peace with his troops to attack Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

But Han can't leave this kid who is not kind, he is still negotiating with Tong Guan here, and he will take the lead over there, not only taking the lead, but also being extremely lucky, I don't know the inside story of the road and think that the lady of luck followed him. In the past, when the Song Dynasty did not recover the land of Yanyun, Yizhou was the front line of the Song Dynasty and the Liao State, and in order to defend the border, the Song Dynasty had heavy troops stationed in Ansu and Baoxin, so that it formed a horn with Yizhou and became an iron wall on the frontier.

However, after the recovery of Yanshan, Tong Guan and Cai You thought that these two places had changed from the border to the rear, and there was no need to garrison them for defense, so they suggested to the imperial court that the imperial court should remove the garrisons of Ansu and Baoxin. After the approval of the imperial court. The two garrisons were dismantled at the beginning of November, and at the end of the month, Han Li was able to strike here. Unfortunately, these two strategic points fell into his hands without any resistance.

The progress of the Eastern Route Army was smooth, and it can be said that it was like a bamboo, and Yu Zhongzheng, the defender of Jingzhou City, was surrendered and imprisoned; Jingzhou Wu Zhen saw that the situation was not good. escaping by sea; Jizhou City Guard Gao Gonghan Deputy City Guard Zeng Ping fled to the south with the defenders; Xu Jie and Huang Wen also abandoned the city and fled; Shunzhou Lin Liang Hulu expanded and fled to Yanshan; Zhuozhou Ge Feng abandoned the city early and fled; Yizhou Huang Lie jumped off the city wall and broke his feet and died when he fled...

With the active 'cooperation' of the Song Dynasty officials, Han had reached the east bank of the Baihe River on the 6th of December, when Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng army marched to Sanhe County and stationed on the west bank of the Baihe River. Han Li didn't have the confidence to win in his heart, but he didn't expect that Guo Yaoshi led his troops to secretly cross the river that night, and he ordered all the troops of the Jin Army to send troops to meet the Changsheng army.

As the battle progressed, the Jin army gradually fell apart, and when Han was at a loss, the goddess of luck flickered her wings twice, and he suddenly found that Zhang Linghui was leading his troops to secretly flee the battlefield. Han Li was not very happy. led the army to immediately pursue Zhang Linghui. Seeing this, Liu Shunren also ordered his troops to flee to the rear. At this time, Guo Yaoshi had defeated the frontal Jin army, attacked the Jin army village, and ordered the Jin camp to be burned, but the goddess cheated again, but the whole army of Changsheng could not find the fire, and the battle was at dawn Guo Yaoshi had no choice but to order a retreat.

On the seventh day, Han couldn't help but lead the troops to the city of Yanjing Mansion, but good luck still accompanied him, and the Assassin Emperor Ben, who guarded the northeast gate, ordered people to secretly contact the Jin army. said that he could respond to the Jin army's siege of the city, and asked Han Li if he wanted the living Guo Yaoshi or the dead Guo Yaoshi! Such a shit thing can make Han Li never meet, don't you sincerely want to make Zong Han angry to death!

What made Zong Han even more angry was the news that came last night, on the 8th. Guo Yaoshi didn't wait for others to arrest him, he tied up the Great Song Dynasty and the governor of Yanjing Mansion, Cai Jing, surrendered first. That night, there was chaos in Yanshan Mansion, and the city was full of looting rookie soldiers, who burned the place where the Changsheng army hoarded grain. The fire in the city was like hell on earth. The next day, Han Li did not lead the Jin army to enter Yanshan Mansion without blood...

Han Li's army went deep into Yanjing Mansion and reached the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty. In front of it is a horse Pingchuan, except for the Yellow River, there is no natural danger. If you can wave the army south to reach Bianjing City, you will inevitably get huge benefits, which will play a very big role in enhancing its status in the royal family of Jin.

But for Zong Han, this is both good news and bad news. From the point of view of the national interests of the entire country, this is of course a great thing. And as Zong Wang, who went on the expedition at the same time as Han Li, not only could he not rush to Bianjing City in time at this time, but he had not even been on the edge of the Great Song Dynasty, and his own position in the Bo Ji Lie would definitely be greatly challenged, which was a big blow to the ambitious Zong Han can be imagined!

Zong Han came up with a plan to break the enemy, dug a pit and waited for the enemy to jump in, but he ran into a slow Langzhong in a hurry, and the enemy didn't even show his face. Seeing that the plan was about to fail, Zong Han's mood was even lower, and he couldn't say whether he was depressed or anxious, just when he was about to give up, the door of the enemy camp suddenly opened, the sergeants swarmed out, and a group of rangers rushed out first, inserting between the two armies.

Zong Han knew that this group of rangers was in contact with his own troops, so as to delay his own movement and prepare for a sudden attack, cover the deployment of the main force, arrange the formation and complete the preparation for the attack. The subsequent development Zong Han was a little incomprehensible, but he knew that the formation of the Liao army today was very different from yesterday, but a complex formation of large formations and small formations, and the long cavalry spears like jungles erected in the rear formations couldn't help but make Zong Han wonder, could it be that the Liao army was going to turn defensive into offensive today...

In fact, this formation is not to say that Zong Han doesn't know, even if he gets the art of war, he doesn't know it, because this kind of formation will not appear in the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later, and this formation is produced after the firearms are used on the battlefield, and the dense phalanx cannot meet the needs of the battlefield.

The three-talent array is a kind of combat formation named after the heaven, earth and people's "three talents", small and scattered, overlapping before and after, which can not only carry forward the firepower, but also reduce the damage, this formation can be more or less according to the situation, and the formation from front to back is based on this for the rangers, the front team, and the jumping team.

The tactical use of the three-talent formation is divided into three stages, namely, fire preparation, shock and encirclement of the enemy. When engaging the enemy, the rangers should first maintain contact with the enemy, delay the enemy's movement and prevent the enemy's sudden attack, so as to cover the main force to deploy and complete the attack preparations; Then the strikers killed and wounded the enemy with firepower; The jumping team uses the results of firepower to charge the enemy, engaging in hand-to-hand combat and white-knuckle combat with the enemy; Depending on the situation, the garrison will increase the force of the assault from the front or carry out a roundabout encirclement from the enemy's flank and back, and flank the enemy.

The conditions of the old Sancai array based on the invention also had shortcomings, because the firearms could not fire quickly and continuously, but the fire and the impact were disconnected from each other, and the fire could not support the actions of the shock troops with fire during the impact process. The new version of the Sancai Formation was designed by Zhao Ta in the tactics of the Hussars and Cavalry Spears of the Capture Army, and only after actual combat testing did he refer to the formation of the previous life.

Now thanks to the early advent of machine guns and rapid-fire guns, the sustainability of fire support is possible. This formation of the Krup army has been trained for a period of time, but it has not yet been tested in actual combat, and now it is time for mules and horses to come out and slip away, and at this moment, it was suddenly pulled out and put on the table, which really surprised Zong Han!

The horn sounded, the Chinese army ordered the flag to swing continuously, and the Tiefutu of the Wanyan Sudden Collar Department took the lead in launching an attack, and for a time the hoof sounded like thunder, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and rushed towards the Liao army with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, intending to crush the opponent in one fell swoop. The Liao army rangers knew that they could not be provoked, so they fired two rounds of guns and carried out harassing blockades, and then quickly retreated to the two flanks of their own army, making room for them.

The vanguard of the Jin Army's West Road Military Supervision Army did not see a trace of excitement on his face, but hung a deep worry, today's tactics against the Liao army were designed for yesterday's formation, and now the other party has changed the formation, but Zong Han is in a hurry, and he insists on launching an attack according to the original plan, which obviously violates the original intention, and also shows that the other party may have discovered his own plan and has lost the opportunity.

And now is not the best time to launch an attack, one is that the Jin army began to toss before dawn, and for half a day people have not untied their armor and horses have not unsaddled, and when it comes to lunch, they are already sleepy and tired; Another enemy change formation should also attack with a partial division, probe the opponent's virtual reality, the change of formation, the brigade take the opportunity to replenish some energy, should not come up to charge with a tired army, once the war falls into a stalemate, where there is still time to eat. But the army's order is difficult to disobey, he can only follow the order, but he knows that his own side has already lost two points before he fights!

In the face of the overwhelming Jin army, Chang Chao, the commander of the first brigade of the former army commander, ordered the artillery to start firing.

"Target five hundred paces, flowering shells, fuse number one, shoot!"

"Target 400 paces, shotgun, shoot!" …

In order to deal with the small group and multi-way tactics of the Jin army, they have replaced the solid shells of the rapid-fire guns with shotguns, and the mortar guns have also been replaced with flowering shells, which has greatly increased the lethality of the artillery fire.

The Jin army Tiefutu, who was speeding up the charge, was stunned by the sudden artillery fire, and the flowering projectiles that exploded overhead threw countless hot and sharp shrapnel, which collapsed the knight on the horse, and the war horse that lost its owner was still unconscious, racing with its partners, and they quickly rushed to the front without load, but they did not know that the master of the road had turned into meat paste. The large and small iron pellets sprayed by the rapid-fire cannon turned into a huge iron broom, and the Jin army that hit its muzzle was brought down in pieces, and the small group of people and horses did not seem to have achieved much effect!

"The artillery retreated, the machine guns fired!" Looking at the Jin army approaching the artillery position, Chang Chao calmly ordered. The Jin army approached with difficulty in the sound of cannons, and some Jin army riders stabbed the horse's ears in order not to be disturbed by the sound of cannons, and the severe pain made the war horse rush forward like crazy...
