Chapter Ninety-Five: Extinguishing Qi 14
readx;
The Qi army's walls in the Jixi region are indeed quite strong in a sense, but under the defense of the Qi army, which does not have much will to fight, it is impossible to play the role of these barriers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After the Qin army successively broke through the two mobile forces of about 5,000 people mobilized by Tian Rong, more and more Qi troops were divided.
After these Qi armies were divided into quite fragments by the Qin army, the Qi officers and soldiers in many areas completely lost the will to fight, and under the leadership of the Qi army commanders in these areas, they quickly raised their hands and surrendered.
After the end of the first day of the battle, the Qi troops lost most of the bulwark outside the city of Jixi.
But after the end of the first day, Zhang Jiashi did not plan to fight at night, because for Zhang Jiashi, it was a very stupid thing for Zhang Jiashi to storm Jixi City and the remnants of the Western Qi army outside the city at night.
After all, the current technology is still unable to support an army to launch a large-scale night offensive against the city.
Of course, if Jixi City was burned with oil bombs, the night battle or something would be just a small problem, and Zhang Jiashi didn't do this, because of this kind of thing, Zhang Jiashi still didn't want to make the civilians of Qi feel that their Qin army still arrived, but soon left the army under Zhang Han in the north, which was quite cruel and easy to kill.
So Zhang Jiashi slowed down the offensive against Jixi City.
......
On this night, neither Zhang Jiashi's side nor the officers on Tian Rong's side who were trapped in Jixi City could sleep peacefully.
Zhang Jiashi listened to the report of Han Xin and others, who were in command of the front, after all, although the battle on this day was relatively easy, but for the casualties of attacking the Qi army fortress on this day, Zhang Jiashi was still a little helpless in his heart.
Although the Qin army's current equipment can be regarded as quite sophisticated, for this kind of offensive and defensive enemy, the level of casualties is certainly much less than the previous wars launched even when the Great Qin Empire unified the world. But it doesn't mean that the current equipment can allow Qin officers and soldiers to completely blow up the other party.
Zhang Jiashi would like to see this kind of thing, but this situation is obviously impossible.
After listening to the statistical report of the casualties, Zhang Jiashi asked about the operation of the special forces personnel.
After all, although the number of this special forces force is small, it can be regarded as a unit that has spent a lot of money and has been trained for a long time before it can go to the battlefield.
And after hearing Zhang Jiashi's question. Before Song Kui, a high-ranking ranger of the Great Qin Empire, that is, the commander of the special forces, spoke, Han Xin and the others had a pretty good evaluation of this unit.
In particular, Han Xin, who was responsible for a frontal attack on the Qi army barrier area close to the Qin army's camp area, spoke very highly of this force:
"Your Majesty, your subordinates believe that this army has fulfilled the king's expectations for them, because these troops can effectively control the entry and exit areas of several Qi army camps that can be regarded as quite important, and can hold on until the arrival of the army. Like this assault force. Supplemented by the assistance of the swordsman troops, it can indeed play an unexpected role. ”
Heard Han Xin's words. Although there was a hint of a smile on Zhang Jiashi's face, he was still thinking about one thing in his heart, that is, Han Xin's description, in fact, was just the result of Zhang Jiashi's training method for these special forces.
In Zhang Jiashi's heart, no matter how hard he tries now, he can't let the special forces under his command do the kind of special forces in the future.
In the world where Zhang Jiashi was originally located, special forces refer to units specially formed by a country or group to carry out special tasks within the military organization in order to achieve specific political, economic, and military goals. It has the characteristics of flexible establishment, capable personnel, excellent equipment, rapid mobility, well-trained, and strong combat effectiveness.
Special forces first appeared during World War II. In the Polish campaign on September 1, 1939, Germany first committed a special force known as the "Brandenburg" unit as the spearhead of the German attack on Poland, wearing enemy uniforms to carry out infiltration and sabotage activities. Later such units also took part in the war against the Soviet Union. During the North African campaign, the British formed the SAS Special Air Service Regiment to carry out sabotage operations behind enemy lines, and the special forces were officially born.
And these special forces have six main requirements:
1。 Informally integrated into the standard command and administrative system as an independent unit.
2。 The standard of origin of unit members is high.
3。 Directly under the command of high-level units, it performs difficult, high-confidentiality and sensitive tasks.
4。 : The personnel of the unit are highly streamlined, and equipment and logistics support are highly prioritized.
5: The unit has more equipment procurement, training courses and other funds than the general unit.
6。 The second and third professional training of unit members and the requirements for their own academic ability are relatively high.
And Zhang Jiashi knows very well that these special forces are now available. Compared to the world he was in, he was a rabble in a sense.
But Zhang Jiashi himself knows one thing very well, that is, he can still meet some requirements.
For example, make the priorities of these special forces as much as possible in line with some of the bases he can control.
Zhang Jiashi believes that there is still a certain gap between these special forces and passing grades, but this actual combat shows that his thinking is indeed correct.
The appearance of these special forces. It is true that they can play their part in some situations.
For example, this raid on the entrance and exit of the Qi military barracks, these special forces and another special force under Zhang Jiashi, a swordsman commando team mainly formed by disciples of various sects, did play an effect that Han Xin and the others were very satisfied with.
But after hearing Song Kui's casualty report, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help frowning slightly, he was not unprepared, and this time almost all the special forces dispatched actually paid nearly 700 casualties. At the cost of nearly four hundred people quitting the sequence forever, he was still a little helpless.
He is not unmentally prepared, because Zhang Jiashi also knows that it is more of a waste for special forces to fight in the regular army, because if the army fights, the role that these special forces can play is indeed not too big.
If it were possible, no commander in his right mind would use these valuable special forces to raid the opposing army, after all, in a sense, such an action could be considered an act of death.
And after understanding many things, Zhang Jiashi remembered another thing, that is, about the arrangement of prisoners.
......
In this regard. Zhang Jiashi originally asked Cao Shen to operate, and he also had a lot of trust in Cao Shen's ability.
However, Zhang Jiashi was also a little worried in his heart, because the Qi army prisoners captured today were not a few. According to the ratio of the Qi army, the Qi army prisoners who captured nearly 14,000 people in today's battle can be regarded as almost one-fifth of the number of Qi troops.
The guarding of these captives and the arrangements made accordingly will inevitably create problems. That was during the battle of the Great Army. Guarding these captives also shared the forces of the battle.
Moreover, the corresponding grain and straw scheduling is also a problem that Zhang Jiashi has to pay attention to.
At this time. Cao Shen did not participate in the meeting, and according to the report of one of Cao Shen's subordinates, that is, the current situation seems to be all right.
Zhang Jiashi's worry was that tomorrow's battle would be a real test of Cao Shen's ability. After all, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that after the main force under his command launched a strong attack on Jixi City, Tian Rong would be able to hold out for a long time.
After all, many of the siege equipment he dispatched this time can be regarded as relatively advanced.
For example, the kind of "swarm of bees" in the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, that is, relatively primitive rocket launch equipment.
......
Zhang Jiashi is still very satisfied with the corresponding results developed by the R&D team composed of his military construction and Fangshi troops.
But for these developed gunpowder weapons. Zhang Jiashi was still silent. After all, when cold weapons have matured, there is no room for hot weapons that are beginning to take shape to play a role.
The kind of rocket launch box similar to "swarm" looks quite bulky, and the range of this gunpowder arrow, if it is placed in a field or siege war, is basically a hanging life.
Of course, since these weapons have been developed. Zhang Jiashi still didn't want these weapons to be buried.
This time can be regarded as a battle to bully the Western Qi Kingdom, and these instruments can just test its corresponding effects.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't think about taking out the two infused iron cannons to show off, and let the world see what it means to "when the cannon sounds, the gold is ten thousand taels." ”
Well, there's something wrong. But this matter is not the point at all for Zhang Jiashi, the point is that the weight of this kind of infused iron cannon is indeed quite tricky, and in the absence of effective buffer materials to make gun mounts, the several gun mounts that Zhang Jiashi ordered to develop do not have much practical significance at all.
And these infused iron cannons were mounted on horse-drawn carriages, which also needed to be specially made.
The most important part is the lack of effective breeching grinding techniques, the way in which these infusion iron cannons are used. Even if the projectile is not reduced according to the corresponding standards, it can cause a bombing ......
There are a total of five infusion iron cannons in the front and back, and three of them are directly reimbursed under various tests......
Compared with the quality of the artillery itself, Zhang Jiashi still has good news, that is, among the shells of these artillery, there is actually a high-cost scary, but also has a fragmentation killing effect of the charge grenade, which is commonly known as the "flowering shell".
Zhang Jiashi still transported these two guns this time, but whether they should be used, or when they should be used, Zhang Jiashi still does not have an accurate idea.
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
Compared with the ease of the Qin army, located in the county of Jixi City, as the temporary palace of Tian Rong, the king of Western Qi, Tian Rong was looking at the many fewer civil and military ministers under his command with an iron face.
He didn't vent the resentment in his heart to these subordinates who were still coming, but after taking a few deep breaths, he still held back his anger and let himself be relatively calm This meeting may be his last.
......
Tian Rong's current situation is not ordinarily bad, a large number of Qin Gou's Lou Boat Soldiers have appeared in Jishui in the north, even if he wants to cross Jishui and then abscond back to Linzi, it is impossible.
And the west side is even more needless, if it weren't for the fact that it was getting late, Qin Gou might not mind going all out and then directly attacking Jixi City.
The situation in the south was not much better, a large number of Qin Dog's knights were constantly cruising, and he was even worried about his child Tian Guang, afraid that his bloodline would be killed or captured alive by Qin Dog.
And if Tian Rong knew that Tian Guang had successfully escaped from the pursuit of the Qin knights under the cover of his cronies at this time, his mood would have been much easier.
In the end, that is to say, to the west of the current Jixi in the Ming Dynasty and the fortress area that had not yet been captured by the Qin army, Huan Feng was leading a new guard army of 10,000 men to block the connection between Jixi and Lixia and other places.
And through the above points, it fully explains a situation, that is, he is now besieged by Qin Gou.
He knew very well that he wanted to turn defeat into victory, and in a word that Zhang Jiashi's original world said, the possibility of successfully turning the tables in this battle was almost non-existent.
But he did not regret the situation he was facing today, because for him, he was a descendant of the Chen family, so he naturally would not be afraid of this situation.
(Tian Qi, from Chen Wan, the son of Chen Li's concubine Yue.) Chen Wan, concubine surname, Chen family, later changed to Tian family. Chen Hugong, a descendant of the first emperor Shun, was enshrined in Chen, and then took the country as his clan. Gongzi finished avoiding disasters and ran to Qi, Qi Huan Gong took it as a work, because the ancient "Chen" and "Tian" sounds similar, so Tian was the clan (maybe it was because of avoiding disasters). Chen Wan, known as "Jing Zhong", is known as "Tian Jing Zhong Wan" or "Tian Jing Zhong" in history. )
And what made him angry was not the result he was about to face, but that his subordinate Wen Wu actually gave him a glimpse of what it means to be "a tree falling and scattering" in this situation.
He couldn't help but think of the legend that it was because of this situation that Tian Jian, the king of Qi, finally had to lead a small number of civil and military forces who were still willing to follow him under the oppression of Wang Ben's army, and surrendered to Daqin outside Linzi City. And this Qi Wang Tian Jian, in the end, ended up in a situation of starvation to death and a ruined family.
But for Tian Rong, he is the king of Western Qi, so naturally he will not die so poorly.
That's right, he will not follow the fate of Wang Tianjian, but will die in battle like his brother Tian Dan.
This is also the reason why he let his son Tian Guang leave Jixi City.
Great Qin's strength has recovered a lot again in the past few years, which Tian Rong himself knows very well, but he doesn't want the Qi Kingdom to be ruled by Xiang Yu, the butcher, but finally with his brother Tian Heng, continue to resist Xiang Yu, so that the Qi State has lost the last chance to recuperate.
He doesn't blame anyone for this, because it's something none of them can change...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
