Chapter 424: Position

readx;?

In the past, Jin Wan'er had a bad impression of Qingyuan, thinking that he was a relative of Shangguan Xiu and got the position of director of the second forging workshop, but through the incident of gunpowder, Jin Wan'er really saw the depth of Qingyuan's knowledge, and she had no complaints about him being able to sit in the position of the director of the second forging workshop.

After receiving the reply from the flying pigeon in the forge workshop, Guangfang's side understood what the problem was, it turned out that the gunpowder had to be stirred well before being used.

When Guangfang was about to make a second major attack, he should have stopped him.

The two of them made a suggestion to Guangfang to bypass the enemy's rear and annihilate it. Guangfang adopted the tactics of the two of them, led an army of 20,000 winds, set out from Xibu Mountain, bypassed the Shah coalition army in front, and took the road to attack the territory of the Na tribe.

The Wind Army moved quietly at night, and by the time the Shah coalition learned of the Wind Army's movements, it was already noon the next day.

Knowing that the Feng army had made a detour to attack their own territory, the soldiers of the Na army were all anxious and rushed back desperately. But the march of the other five tribes was unhurried.

After all, it was the Na territory that was attacked, not the territory of the own tribe, so the psychology of the various units of the Shah coalition army was different.

One side marched in a hurry, while the other marched normally, creating a disconnect between the Shah coalition forces. This is also exactly the effect that Dang and Ziyin want.

As the saying goes, it is divided and divided, and it is destroyed. The two of them skillfully took advantage of the selfishness of the coalition forces, and pulled the Shah coalition as a whole. Thank you!

When the Na army was rushing to its own territory, it was encountering the wind army that was waiting for work on the way, and the two sides started a big battle near the Na territory.

In this battle, the strength of the wind army was 20,000, and the strength of the Na tribe was 40,000, and the ratio of the strength of the two sides was one to two, but after the two sides handed over, the Na side with many troops had no advantage at all.

The front of the Wind Army's battle array was full of fire guns, and when they saw the Na tribe on the opposite side rushing up, the Fire Gun Camp of the Wind Army opened fire in unison.

The range of the firearm is long, but there is no accuracy at all, it is normal to hit the deviation, and it is a miracle to hit accurately, and because of this, the firearm pays attention to the coordination between the whole of a large-scale salvo, and there are almost no requirements for the marksmanship of individual soldiers.

The firing of the Storm Gun Battalion continued, and after the first row fired the projectiles, it immediately retreated to the last row along the gap in the soldier's position, and the second row took two steps forward and continued to fire a salvo, then retreated to the last row, and the third row made up for it.

A phalanx, seventy rows of musketeers, took turns to shoot, although the intensity was not violent, but the shooting was continuous and endless.

This way of shooting, there is no gap at all, the projectiles continue to fly out from the camp of the wind army, and then look at the Na army on the opposite side, people are lined up and row of bullets to the ground, many people are just injured, but before they can stand up, they are trampled alive by the companions who charge behind.

There were quite a few Na soldiers killed by the Wind Army's firearms, but many more were trampled to death by their own people.

This battle fully reflects the absolute superiority of firearms over cold weapons, even though the Na soldiers are brave and have the strength not to be afraid of death, but they can't rush to the front of the wind army at all.

A large number of Na soldiers will die two or three hundred paces away from the Wind Army, and it is not easy to rush within a hundred steps of the Wind Army, and they will face the arrow array of spearmen in the Fire Gun Battalion, as well as an even more ferocious and dense Fire Gun attack.

The battle began for about half an hour, but not a single soldier of the Na army rushed to the front of the wind army, and the battle could not be fought, and the Na army threw thousands of corpses and retreated in a hurry.

Guangfang was overjoyed and immediately ordered the pursuit, but in the process of pursuit, the disadvantages of the slow movement of the firecracker battalion appeared, and the most important thing for the firecracker battalion was the formation, whether it was offensive or defensive, the overall formation must be kept intact, in order not to deform the formation, the speed of advancing could not be fast.

This is precisely the reason why in the battle of the Age of Firearms, the enemy and us can only defeat the enemy at most, but cannot completely annihilate the enemy.

Seeing that the pursuit speed of the firecracker camp in front was too slow, where could Guangfang wait, he led the wind army behind, crossed the firecracker camp, and chased it out.

Fortunately, the Na soldiers have been beaten to the point that the Feng army has lost their fighting spirit, and they have lost the ability to fight back, and more than 30,000 soldiers can be said to be a thousand miles away, and countless soldiers have been hacked to death by Guangfang.

Then, at the suggestion of Caidang and Ziyin, the Feng army gave up attacking the territory of the Na tribe and instead attacked the territory of the Pulan tribe.

This time, the Pulan army was in a hurry, and the other five tribes were not in a hurry, especially the Na army, thinking that their defeat was all due to the fact that the other five tribes did not do their best.

The divisive tactics of Caidang and Ziyin worked wonders, successfully plunging Shah's alliance of the Six Clans into a situation of mutual suspicion and intrigue.

It's just that this time the wind army is not a feint attack on the territory of the Puran tribe, but a real attack.

The middle-aged men of the Pulan tribe are basically in the coalition army, and most of the remaining people in the territory are old people, children and women, so how can such a group of old and weak women and children withstand the attack of the wind army.

After the wind army entered the territory of the Pulan tribe, they killed people when they saw them, burned houses when they saw them, robbed them when they saw valuable things, burned and killed and looted, and did everything they could, causing chaos in the territory of the Pulan tribe.

By the time the Puran army returned to the territory to rescue, the Wind Army had already run away without a trace, leaving behind a devastated body.

The patriarch of the Puran clan scolded the other five tribes for refusing to do their best to rescue, resulting in an attack on their own territory and heavy losses, and announced his withdrawal from the coalition army. The withdrawal of the Puran tribe also kicked off the prelude to the collapse of the coalition army, and the Na tribe followed closely behind, and also announced their withdrawal from the coalition army, with the withdrawal of the Puran and the Na tribe one after another, the Shadong coalition army has existed in name only, and the remaining four tribes have also returned to their respective territories and no longer send troops to confront the wind army.

This time the scale of the war in Shadong (east of Shah) was not large, and the casualties on both sides, only the Na tribe died thousands, but this battle was the first time that the Feng army used the fire gun in actual combat, which was of far-reaching significance, not only achieved the prestige of Guangfang, but also established the status of Caidang and Ziyin in the Zhenjun army.

In particular, the fire gun battalion established by Caidang and Ziyin has basically become the fixed pattern of the future fire gun camp of the Feng Army, one battalion, the strength of 1,000 people remains the same, and the internal subdivision is divided into the left battalion and the right battalion, and when it comes to the battlefield, there are also two phalanxes.

By the time Shangguanxiu returned to Xijing, the battle in Shadong had ended, but the first part of Guangfang was still stationed in Xibu Mountain, and he did not withdraw to Guannei.

It's just that at this time, the situation in the country of Feng has changed abruptly, and the rebellion against Tang Ling has become more and more intense, and finally broke out in an all-round way.

The reason why the rebels of Lin Yongbu of Huan County moved to Zhenjun's side was not Zhenjun, but Shangjing.

The 100,000 rebels led by Lin Yong drove out of Huan County and went straight to Shangjing, while at the same time, the rebels of the Li Jia Department of Feng County and the rebels of the Changguan Department of Mojun Xiao Beibei and the rebellion of the Zhongzishan Department Xue Yuan and Yang Yue rebels of An County, as well as the rebels of Ning County, Yujun and Chuanjun, etc., a total of 16 rebels went out of Shangjing and launched a siege of Shangjing.

The rebels' proposition is very clear, Tang Ling abdicated, Tang Yu ascended the throne, if Tang Ling continued to reign, the crisis of the Wind Country would only get more and more serious, and now, only King Yu could save the Wind Country.

Sixteen rebel armies, totaling millions of people, went to Beijing to encircle the wind, and their momentum can be described as earth-shattering, causing an uproar in the whole country of the wind country and even the surrounding countries. This happened at the end of the 388th year of the Fengli calendar, and the famous rebellion of the Sixteenth Route rebels.

During this period, Shangguan Xiu also received a handwritten letter from Tang Yu and the commanders of the sixteen rebel armies, inviting him to rise up together, overthrow Tang Ling's tyranny, and open up a new Dafeng Dynasty that is enlightened and popular with the people.

In this situation, Shangguan Xiu urgently recruited the first part of Guangfang to return to Xijing, and other soldiers and horses could not be brought, but he wanted to bring the fire battalion back to Xijing.

There has been such a great change in Shangjing, where can the people who love to join in the excitement of Guangfang still stay in Xibu Mountain, and immediately led the Ziyin and Huogong camps, day and night, to rush back to Xijing.

Xijing County Governor's Mansion. The generals and strategists of the Zhenjun army gathered together, and the meeting was held day after day to discuss which side they should stand on, what to do, and what kind of deployment to make.

In this series of urgent consultations, the analysis of the two major factions within the Zhenjun Army completely surfaced.

The generals led by Luo Ren and An Yifu resolutely supported Tang Yu, they agreed with the concept of the rebels, and believed that Tang Ling should abdicate, her throne was not right, in her governance, the country of wind was so turbulent, since the founding of the country, there has never been, abdication is natural, and Tang Yu's succession is the desire of the people, the throne should have been Tang Yu's, it was Tang Ling who snatched it from Tang Yu's hands, the most critical point is that Tang Yu is open-minded and has the determination to change, if Tang Yu does not become the emperor, the country of wind is really not far from the country of death.

The generals led by Zhan Xiong and Hu Chong had just different opinions from Luo Ren'an Yifu and others, and their group of generals resolutely supported Tang Ling. Inheriting the throne is such a big thing, it's not a playhouse, it's not that whoever you think can do it can go on, whoever can't do it has to go, if you set this precedent, the future throne of the Wind Country will become a child's play, once someone is dissatisfied with the emperor, they will rebel, and the emperor will be forced to abdicate, and the Wind Country will always be in turmoil, and there will be no peace. No matter what means Tang Ling used to obtain the throne at the beginning, since she has already sat on it, she is the emperor of the Wind Country, and she can't come again, any form of forcing the palace is a rebellion, and she should be killed.

On the one hand, they support Tang Yu to replace Tang Ling, and on the other hand, they support Tang Ling to continue to reign, and the two sides hold their own opinions and argue no. And their dispute is precisely the contradiction in Shangguan Xiu's heart.

He was originally Tang Yu's person, and he had a natural sense of closeness to Tang Yu, and if he started from emotion, he would definitely support Tang Yu. But reason told him that Tang Yu was only suitable to be an enlightened monarch in the prosperous era, and in the troubled times, the Wind Country needed an emperor like Tang Ling with iron and strong wrists.

The Zhenjun Army can't even make a definite position, and it can't even make a choice of choosing a side, and as for what preparations and deployments will be made later, it is all nonsense.

The Sixteenth Route rebels besieged Shangjing for more than half a month, and Guangfang led the Huogun battalion to withdraw to Xijing, while the high-level of the Zhenjun Army was still arguing over who to support.
