Not every cavalry in the world is called Jianzhou Iron Cavalry, and not every cavalry can afford to use a three-eyed iron rod copper-tipped gun. The righteous army organized by people with lofty ideals is more similar to the large militia group united by the Jianghu sect, although the scale of more than 100,000 people sounds terrifying, but in fact they don't even have the strength to break through the crab formation, and they are even led by Kuzen in the end, following behind the front line of the forbidden army of the true king and waiting for an opportunity, to be precise, they can only be used as the second-line troops to maintain the recovery area.

And on the front line of the True King, Silver Dust replaced Yang Wushu as the vanguard, and smashed the enemy's next earth city, on the grounds that the forward commanded by Yang Wushu was too slow to advance.

In Yinchen's opinion, Zhao Guangyi's strange plot of the medieval knight war was vented, so everything had to be carried out according to the rules of cold modern warfare, so he rushed to the next earthen city with only a tank cluster, that is, a simple cavalry unit,

And Zhao Guangyi is very willing to lead his large army to run along the river, uprooting several of the ten earthen cities built by Jianzhou Nuer along the river on the north bank of the Santu River to ensure the safety of the rear waterway, he will probably not attack all ten earthen cities, because half of this defense line is used to deal with him, and half is used to deal with possible events on the side of Yingtianfu, Zhao Guangyi is not that kind to help Emperor Yue break the siege.

Silver Dust is gone, half contained, half exhausted enemy, which is not wrong in the art of war, but the problem is that the ordnance he carries is too powerful.

[On the evening of the sixth day of the seventh month of the first year of Heisei]

Hufangkou, a small mountain village located on the north bank of the Santu River, has been in a state of indisputability since there are written records, this small village is only a hundred or so people, relying on picking some herbs and fruits in the mountains and a few acres of thin fields on the gentle slope to live comfortably, even if an ancient official road of the Third Dynasty passed through the foot of the mountain where the village is located, it did not bring any visible changes to this small mountain village. After all, looking at the rows of small earthen houses on the mountainside, there is no mood to spend the night, and the dilapidated small houses are comparable to the wide upper rooms in the post station and the comfortable inns in the county seat? Therefore, except for the down-and-out poor scholars who rush to take the exam, or some good hands in the rivers and lakes who evade pursuit, no one will pay attention to Hufangkou Village, which is obviously on the traffic line, until half a year ago, a team of Jianzhou slaves came here.

After Jianzhou Nuer arrived here, I don't know what happened, in short, almost overnight, a bunker turret was built on the top of the hill in Hufangkou, and in the small village on the mountainside, the original villagers did not know where to go.

After another period of time, from the village of Hufangkou to a few miles to the north, a soil city was built, this large earth city that can accommodate 10,000 troops was built along the low mountain, stretching for several miles, and the beautiful scenery of "green mountains and green bamboos on both sides of the avenue, and rice flowers on the gentle slope" became the majestic landscape of "a large avenue leading from north to south, and high walls and arrow holes on both sides". Two narrow and huge earthen cities were established on both sides of the official road in the north of Hufangkou Village, and the city gate was opened on the relatively flat position in the gentle slope, and the urn city was established, and many cavalry were stationed in it, forming a terrible formation like the torrent that can gallop on the official road, this earthen city did not have the so-called frontal city wall, and there was no roadblock on the official road, so it used the fortifications on the high slopes on both sides to form a deterrent momentum, whether it was a bow and crossbow, an iron cannon, a rolling wood or a bottle of fire oil could be poured on the official road as much as possible, it seemed to be unimpeded, but in fact there was no road to heaven and no door to the ground。

This earthen city is still called Hufangkou, and the small village originally called Hufangkou, after a series of very fine camouflage, seems to have become the small village that has no quarrel with the world, but under the harmless appearance, how many killing intentions are hidden, it is not for outsiders to know.

As the sun turns from yellow-white to orange-red and is about to set into the low rolling hills in the distance, Silver Dust arrives with his tank troops. At this time, the small mountain village in front of him was still quiet and innocent, and even the bunker built on the extremely dangerous terrain on the top of the mountain was carefully covered up into a natural mountain, and even most of it was in the dense forest.

The situation behind the small mountain village was also monitored by the low-altitude drones used for temporary support, the official road had actually been blocked, and a large group of knights lined up directly on the official road to seal the road, and on the top of the earthen city on both sides of the official road, many trebuchets, rolling wood and oil bottles were really boiled tin were prepared, but only the bow and crossbow and artillery were missing, it was obvious that the intelligence of the forbidden army had been brought here by the fleeing Jianzhou military division, or, when Yinchen passed through the post station, it was seen through by the military intelligence personnel of Jianzhou.

Silver Dust sat alone in his tank, looking at the empty official road through the observation system. Less than five hundred paces ahead of him was the tiger's mouth, which was as dangerous as a square tiger's mouth. Two steep hills, one high and one low, frame an official road that is six cars wide, that is, allowing six carriages to run in parallel. The low hill on the left has been dyed a thorough green by dense vegetation, and the thick trees do not interfere with the movement of the tank, and the soil under the vegetation, although soft, still has a certain hardness, and it is not as easy to trap the tracks as the swampy tidal flats, so even if there is an infantry brigade there that hides its body by dense branches, there is no threat, but such a low and gentle hill, the slope is not more than fifteen degrees, and it is pointless to occupy it. The mountain on the right is completely different, the steep slope of 45 degrees and the gravel road are a nightmare for tracked weapons, above the winding gravel road, there are all kinds of dangerous checkpoints, piled up with huge concrete that can almost guarantee a direct hit to the top of the tank, and the bungalows like bunkers on the mountainside, not to mention the rock bunkers on the top of the mountain, which are completely outside the maximum range of tank guns. Silver Dust dared to use tank clusters, in fact, it recognized the characteristics of the southern plain/hilly terrain of the Fengyuan Continent that was particularly suitable for cavalry charges, after all, the terrain that cavalry can run can also be used by tanks, and only infantry can adapt to mountain combat, and there is no need to let tanks and vehicles blindly mix.

Tanks are not invincible, bottles of fire oil can actually destroy them very well, and overly heavy falling rocks and giant trees can also destroy tanks, but with the casual shooting accuracy of the current world trebuchet, if you want to hit a cluster of tanks that are not densely formed, that one really wants to pray that God will open your eyes, not to mention that there is no trebuchet in this world that has the range of a tank gun.

The field of view provided by the observation system is actually very poor, Yinchen must use the additional vision provided by the drone to see that on the official road a little north of the peak on the right, there is a man-made pit, the big pit is ten zhang long, two zhang wide, and one zhang deep, directly cutting off the official road, I really don't know what kind of earthwork work can complete such a large project in such a short time after the real king captured the first battalion, such a trench is called an anti-tank trench is not an exaggeration at all, the tank cluster under the command of Silver Dust, without the help of sappers, will definitely not be able to cross such terrain。

Of course, if these arrangements were used against ordinary cavalry, they would be a seamless and ingenious arrangement. At this time, a token that Yinchen had been hanging on his waist suddenly appeared with a seven-colored cloud of smoke, and the voice of the famous general of the ancient Qin State sounded in his ears:

"This is really dangerous!" Bai Qi's sigh was filled with a hint of sorrow: the hillside on the left doesn't care about him, it is the dangerous peak on the right, there is a mountain and water like a bone in the throat, on the top of the peak, there must be the enemy's light infantry, laying down a large array of bows and crossbows, which can shoot directly at the soldiers on the official road, although the bungalows on the mountainside are a little thinner, but someone must hide in them and shoot down with a lighter crossbow, I am afraid that the light chariots will not be able to resist, and the armor of the soldiers and horses will not be able to block it...... Although your ironclad chariot is powerful, it can't cross the trench in front of you, and someone always needs to drill out of the chariot to repair the road, so that the damage will be endless, and if the damage is large, the military spirit may be shaken.

"Senior, if the Qin army encountered such a situation in the past......" Yin Chen's voice carried a little temptation, until today, he has not fully learned how to fight a knightly war, especially a pure knightly war without magic support.

“...... Or send assassins to attack and kill the enemy's defenders, or intimidate, lure, and provoke the generals, lure the enemy out of such a dangerous pass, and engage me in battle, so that there is a slight chance of victory, or detour behind the enemy, or simply give up, such a dangerous pass, and the outside of the Xiong Pass, although isolated, but if I can only take such a road, then there is really no way, can't you chariots march in the field? Why do you have to take the official road?"

Yinchen heard that the meaning of Baiqi was to surround in a roundabout way, but he didn't intend to do this, his troops took the nearest road to Pershing, if they were outflanked, then they had to go to Fengyang, Longchi, Tianxu, not to mention a few hundred miles more, there were big cities with mixed military and civilian populations along the line, and if you really want to attack the city, you have to carry out urban street battles, which is tantamount to using your own shortcomings to resist the opponent's strengths, which cannot be drawn, and indiscriminate bombing not only lacks efficiency, but also causes the death of a large number of innocent civilians, which Yinchen will not accept。

He knows that he only has to break into this Longtan tiger's den at the moment, whether it is to attack and contain the northerners, or to provide a solid forward base for the rear, he must take the tiger square mouth in front of him, Yinchen understands the situation of the entire battle situation, and can accurately grasp it every minute, he knows that at this time he and his subordinates are in a delicate time window, attacking the tiger square mouth will inevitably alarm the northerners, and the Jianzhou Nuer court will definitely support the tiger square mouth or some fortress behind, so they will not have the energy to take care of the big camp along the river that Zhao Guangyi is attacking, so the small 100,000 troops along the river defense line will either be withdrawn and retreated to defense, or they will use these people as outcasts to smash Zhao Guangyi, anyway, there is no way to increase the troops. After all, Zhao Guangyi's offensive is just like a blade cutting a finger, although it hurts but it is not too deadly, and Yinchen's lone army breaks into the heart to stab a dagger, in case the breakthrough is too fast to rush to Pershing or other strategic towns, then the large territory that Emperor Beiwu has worked hard to fight will be handed over, not to mention, the national glory of Jianzhou Nu'er is quite dangerous.

After weighing these things, Yinchen's eyes also became focused and firm: "Do the seniors have any prejudice against the 'weapon'?"

"Nope. Just win. Bai Qi replied: "Listening to your confident tone, do you want to use the weapon flying in the sky to defeat them again? The old man didn't have such advanced things when he was in the Qin Kingdom, and being able to fly a kite to the sky was already considered the limit." ”

"I can't do it. Silver Dust sneered: " The pillbox on the top of Hufangkou Mountain, even the red-coated cannon does not have such a high firing range, even if the firing range is artificially created by adjusting the elevation angle of the entire cannon body, the firing range is not enough, and it is easy to let the cannonball fall back to its side because of the wind direction, causing accidental injury, not to mention the Franc machine, the base of the cannon is impossible to change at all, and if the heavy gun mount is placed on a slope that is too sloping, it will definitely be turned upside down, after all, the recoil is there, but the problem is, I have neither a red-coat cannon nor a Franc machine?" As he spoke, Yinchen gave an order like a vehicle command system:

"Fire support group, is the 185mm truck gun ready?"

"Two of them are in place, big handsome. The headset heard the clear report of a junior officer.

Silver Dust did not dislike the small quantity, because these large equipment is much more difficult to transport than soldiers, and the war has begun for nearly a day, and most of these real large-scale weapons of destruction may still be in a state of rushing to land.

Some people may ask why Jianzhou Nu'er didn't send sailors to cut off the river, in fact, they may have tried hard, but in the face of the three-way underwater world full of mines, small submarines and unmanned underwater vehicles, their efforts may probably not be very effective, after all, "water ghosts" such as frogmen meet small unmanned underwater vehicles disguised as real water ghosts is also a very big situation.

The rear capacity was tight, so only two truck guns combined with two special supply vehicles drove over, they stopped on the official road 12 miles away from Hufangkou according to Yinchen's order, put down four iron feet, and slowly lifted the scary-looking barrel, and the on-board computer calculated the trajectory according to the multi-point co-measurement data of the drone to ensure that the shells accurately shot on the thick brick wall.

The bunkers on the top of Hufangkou Mountain are brick and stone structures rather than rammed earth structures as a matter of course, and deep tunnels have been dug underneath the bunkers, and there are even underground warehouses that are large enough to store dry food, bows and arrows and other supplies that have been held for three years. Can garrison 800 troops, this blockhouse is fundamentally different from the earthen city of Hufangkou itself, it is the strategic commanding heights that the slaves of Jianzhou are unwilling to give up even if they die to death, after all, such a steep terrain is not easy to encounter.
