*********************************************************************

What kind of dog encirclement, dog encirclement, maybe Meng Jiucheng is blindly breaking the noun, but there is a relatively broad encirclement tactic that does exist.

For example, the siege of the city is not just to dig trenches under the city, but to defend the main communication routes in a wider area, so that the city loses contact with the outside world, and cuts off the support of materials and personnel from the outside world.

Of course, this tactic is more suitable for cavalry, taking advantage of mobility, which can trap and surround more enemies with smaller forces.

Although the Red Turban Army was mostly infantry, it had a great advantage in strength, and there were five or six battalions capable of fighting. Moreover, in the area at the junction of Yishui and Linqu, most of them are hilly areas, which can weaken the combat effectiveness of some cavalry.

Regarding Meng Jiucheng's thoughts, Yang Miaozhen felt that they were not too reliable, but she just smiled and did not face her mistakes. Anyway, I have to discuss with the staff officers, and Wang Min will also make plans.

Sure enough, in the military discussion, everyone expressed doubts about Meng Jiucheng's dog-encircled tactics.

Meng Jiucheng was also aware of his mistakes, the mobility of the infantry, and the speed of movement of the cavalry's reconnaissance range.

However, the idea of deploying defenses in Gaoqiao Town and blocking the Jin Army was still approved.

This was not proposed by Meng Jiucheng first, but in the previous deployment, as the main transportation route south of Muling Pass, Gaoqiao Town was a must-defend, and there was already a battalion of men and horses stationed and fortifications.

There are still changes, that is, to increase the defensive force in Gaoqiao Town, to try to attract and contain the Jin army, and then to see if there is an opportunity to dispatch other battalions to form a situation of encirclement.

Obviously, this is a safer way to play, albeit a bit conservatively.

Meng Jiucheng's idea was rejected by most of them, but it did not affect his mood. For Takahashi Town, as well as the defense of the peripheral points, he came up with some more methods.

The cavalry dismounted and fought on foot, and its power dropped by more than half. Of course, there are many people, and it is more advantageous for the defenders to have preset fortifications and are familiar with the terrain.

For these small tricks that no longer affect the overall situation, Wang Min and the staff officers quickly agreed, which can be regarded as giving Meng Jiucheng a face.

The only thing that worried Meng Jiucheng was the morale and fighting spirit of the Red Jacket Army that had just completed training, no matter how good the layout was, no matter how strong the fortifications, they also needed people to defend them, and they also needed tenacious and brave soldiers.

If this condition is not met, then everything is empty talk.

After all, Meng Jiucheng had never seen the scene of the Red Jacket Army in battle, so he also made preparations just in case, that is, he made some adjustments to the troops and generals, and used the two battalions of the headquarters as temporary firefighting teams.

Although Gaoqiao Town was held as the most important point, relying on the favorable terrain on the periphery, the Red Turban Army also made corresponding deployments and preparations, and harassing and attacking and slowing down the advance of the Jin Army was the main purpose.

………….

"Boom", "boom", "boom", successive explosions sounded one after another in the main road. For a while, the Jin soldiers shouted and neighed, and they became a mess.

The sudden loud noise startled the war horse under the crotch of the servant Sanliu, and with a neigh, it surged forward, almost throwing him off the horse.

Several commanders shouted orders in a hissing voice, and the somewhat panicked soldiers were gathered and straightened out, and only then did they barely stabilize the ranks.

The servant stayed at home and reined in his horse, and looked ahead with hatred. The road was piled up with stones, wood, and a mess of branches, and on one side of the road, flags fluttered on a low hill, and another enemy was holding on.

Since entering Yishui County, this is the third time that it has been blocked by the enemy, and the servants have a headache for the family.

Behind the attack on Muling Pass by leading light cavalry, it was supposed to be swift, but in the hills and mountains in the north of Yishui County, the enemy's repeated harassment and resistance greatly slowed down the speed of the Jin army.

The enemy seemed to be holding back, but they were not so resolute and did not number much, no more than five hundred. After holding out for two or three hours at a time, killing and wounding one hundred and eighty gold soldiers, he retreated and ran into the mountains and forests.

If the Jin army does not attack fiercely, and the opponent does not retreat for most of the day, it just does not allow you to advance comfortably.

In the eyes of the servants, the enemy is deliberately delaying. Because he was a light horseman, he didn't carry much food and grass, and the enemy seemed to be trying to deplete himself.

And the villages and towns that he passed through were all strong and clear, which strengthened the judgment of the servants who were scattered and stayed at home.

Since the enemy wants to drag and consume, then break down the obstacles and speed up so that the enemy's conspiracy will not succeed.

The Jin army soon organized an attack, charging the hill with stones and crossbow arrows.

With simple deer barricades, a few trenches blocking the advance, and a condescending stone thrower that could throw stones and stone projectiles, the Red Turban Army, which occupied a favorable position, fiercely returned fire to the attacking Jin army.

Boom, boom...... From time to time, sparkling stone projectiles fell on the hillside, rolling and bouncing, bursting with flash and black smoke.

The servant sanliu family frowned, this weapon of the enemy is very sharp, and it has brought a lot of casualties, but it seems that there are not many of them. If this is not the case, it will be a big trouble for Jin Jun.

"Raise your shield and advance, advance—" The Jin army general hissed and shouted, directing the soldiers to form a shield formation and attack the mountain upward.

Behind the shield array were pikemen, flanked by archers. While pushing forward, the archers open their bows and release arrows, suppressing and covering.

An explosion sounded not far away, and dust flew up. The general of the Jin army shouted a few times, and then felt that his mouth and nose were already full of mud, and he had to close his mouth, and cursed secretly in his heart.

From time to time, Jin soldiers were knocked down by stones, blown over by stone bullets, and shot by crossbow arrows, especially when they stopped in front of the trench, and the casualties paid were even greater.

But the fully armored Jin soldiers stubbornly pushed forward, approached the deer, and began to knock down or smash these obstacles.

As for the strange things that had wheels behind the deer and looked like cars, Jin Bing didn't know them, and he didn't know what was waiting for them.

"Fire!" "Fire!" A roar of full body strength rang out.

The gunner, who was hiding behind the cannon, immediately put the burning fire rope in his hand to the lead, and in the sizzle, the lead flashed into the gun.

With a roar, the flames flashed, and white smoke suddenly rose behind the deer, and hundreds of projectiles flew out rapidly, shooting towards the Jin army dozens of meters away.

With screams and wails, the Jin army's attack array was hit violently, and the projectile fragments that spewed out quickly not only killed many Jin soldiers who exposed their bodies, but also pierced a lot of shields, and the Jin soldiers behind were hit inexplicably and fell down with a scream.

The roar came one after another, and the white smoke became thicker, and only the chaotic screams and exclamations on the opposite side could be heard, but it was almost impossible to see the situation ahead.

The smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated, the deer was gone, and there was already a wolf in front of the position. Shields, knives and guns, corpses, and wounded soldiers who fell to the ground screaming and wailing, a bloody scene was presented in front of the Red Turban Army.
