Volume 1 Disputes and Troubled Times Chapter 71 Fight hard and fight in a daze
Yu Sheshi and An waved their hands and said, "Don't talk about the punishment, it's been a busy night, you go back and have a good rest." Ashina Siyuan got up and saluted, then turned around and left the big tent.
There was nothing to say all night, and when the sky was just dawning, Wang Rong held a military meeting in the Chinese military tent, and he took the lead in saying: "Last night's sneak attack by the Devil Man, everyone behaved very well, now assign work, the 2,000-man team, you go to the main camp to rest." The 3,000-man team is on the first line of defense, the 4,000-man team is on the second line of defense, and the 5,000-man team is on standby in the second line of defense to respond when the first line of defense is in danger. ”
Ma Yuansi, Han Qian, the fourth thousandth chief Zheng Zijin and the fifth thousandth chief Zhou Yi stood up to receive the order.
Li Sujie looked at Wang Rong, who was sitting there, and asked, "Aren't you worried at all?" 4,000 against 100,000. ”
Wang Rong said calmly: "Of course don't worry, you just look at it, I will let Xiong Benjun become a bear army under Guangmu City." ”
When Mr. Disheng destroyed God's kingdom of heaven, every place he occupied would build a camp to defend. He built a special camp because he first built a high wall and then dug a particularly deep trench on the outside of the high wall.
This particularly deep trench, with a depth of more than two meters, is difficult to climb up with the ability of a man if the enemy accidentally falls into it, unless he is three meters long. The trench is also so wide that it is difficult for the enemy to jump over unless he has wings.
In this way, when the enemy tried to attack the camp, the difficulties were obvious, and the foot soldiers could not cross the trench. Although the cavalry was able to fly over the trench on horseback, it was blocked by a high wall, and the cavalry lost its speed and was no different from a lamb to the slaughter.
It's just a ditch, a high wall. In order to make sure that nothing goes wrong, Mr. Disheng will dig trenches and build high walls over and over again, usually digging more than five trenches and building more than five high walls.
And this tactic is not only used defensively, but also offensively. When Mr. Disheng attacked the enemy, he would also use the method of "fighting hard and fighting in a dumb battle", even if it was very laborious to build a high wall and there was no time. He would dig trenches.
He would send his soldiers to dig trenches day and night to surround the enemy army, and once the enemy army was surrounded and did not find a breakthrough, then a second trench, a third trench, a fourth trench would be dug. It wasn't long before the fifth trench was dug and the five trenches were added to the high walls, and it was impossible for the besieged enemy troops to break through.
However, although Mr. Disheng's way of attacking is very special, it is not something that Wang Rong can agree with. Although the effect of besieging and not attacking and consuming the enemy's food and grass is remarkable, it takes too long to consume, and it often takes several months to see results. At the same time, there are many restrictions, first of all, there must be a patient monarch, secondly, this monarch is completely new as the main general of the front, and thirdly, there must be more military rations and forage reserves than the enemy. These are the three more important ones, and there are more unimportant but necessary conditions.
Although Mr. Disheng's tactics earned him the nickname "Iron Bucket" and was criticized, he single-handedly quelled the rebellion of God's heavenly kingdom. At the same time, this method of warfare was learned by Westerners and Shenzhou soldiers.
After the outbreak of the First Global War, Western countries adopted the tactic of "fighting a stubborn battle" and using "barbed wire, trenches, machine guns, and artillery" to form a three-dimensional defense, creating an impenetrable barrier on the battlefield and completely destroying the mobility of the warring parties.
The infantry could not advance because of the trenches, and the cavalry could not charge because of the high walls, so many soldiers died in barbed wire and trenches, and the soil beneath them was fertilized with blood.
In the most typical battle of the Sumu River, the Anglo-Saxons forcibly attacked the Prussian positions, and as a result, they were attacked by machine guns and artillery, and 60,000 people were killed in one day. Later, the Gauls launched the Nivelle Offensive, killing 100,000 Prussians in just nine days.
Wang Rong and Li Sujie stood on a three-zhang high wooden arrow tower, and the two looked at the battlefield in the west. The Bearded Man had already driven his army out of the barracks, and the 100,000-strong army had formed countless phalanxes.
Li Sujie raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the side and said: "Captain, this bearded man is simply distinct, you see that the military formation in the middle is much neater than the military formation on both sides, and the reflection of the armor is much more." This Xiong Benjun is going to take the initiative today. ”
Wang Rong said with a smile: "Of course, you have to take the initiative to attack, the tribal army of the Bearded People is not enough in spirit after the battle." If the attack on the camp is defeated again today, it will be unstable even with the Xiong Ben army itself. If you attack with the Bear Run, once you break the camp, your morale will be restored, and you will be able to assert your strength to those tribes in the clan army. However, I can only say that the enemy general thinks simply. He can only daydream if he wants to break through my camp. ”
The Xiong Ben army of the Bearded Man was worthy of being an elite force, they had 20,000 men on foot, forming twenty phalanxes, and they were advancing very fast, and when they came to the first trench, they very quickly put the ladder on the trench, and then put on the thick planks, and the foot soldiers quickly crossed the trench.
And at the same time as they crossed the trench, the villagers on the wall of the wall quickly delivered the arrows in their hands, the gravel of the bed crossbow and the crossbow guns to the maneless, and the same city express delivery was as fast as thunder.
Arrows fall in the Bear Ben Army, causing very little damage, but gravel is different. I saw a Xiong Ben sergeant running on a flying ladder like a single-plank bridge, and a stone was also running wildly in the air, hitting his helmet accurately. He only felt that his head was "buzzing", and he was dizzy. Unable to balance on the ladder, he fell headlong into the trench, piercing his thighs and elbows with sharp bamboo sticks from the uncovered parts of his armor, and the spikes of thistles ruined his armor.
This distance is within the bow support of the second wall. On the second wall, 2,000 villagers drew their bows and arrows and threw them into the air. The sharp arrow clusters reflected the fierce light, and under the action of the earth's gravity, they fell fiercely into the foot soldiers of Xiong Benjun. The thousands of villagers on the first wall threw down their bows and arrows, crossbows, picked up spears four or five meters long, and stabbed them down the ladder.
Why didn't the archers of the Xiong Ben Army come to the rescue? Because they don't have a chance. Before crossing the trench, their bows were not far enough away to inflict minimal damage, even if they were a covering shot. Beyond the trench, the distance was sufficient, but the companions in front were already engaged with the enemy. In order not to injure the friendly soldiers, he could only give up the bow and arrow, and picked up the scimitar and spear to fight hand-to-hand.
