The sun sets in the west.

Night gradually covers the sky.

In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, and it gets dark very quickly.

Hundreds of cauldrons filled with mist.

"The county magistrate, the last general has sent his soldiers to explore the upper and lower reaches of the river, the ice is about three feet thick, and the army can pass safely."

"In addition, within ten miles of the Western Army's military fortress, a large number of walled forts were built."

Walled Fort?

Han Zhen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, Yang Weizhong seemed to be forced to have no choice, and even the walled fort tactics in the northwest land were moved over.

These forts are like nails stuck around the perimeter.

Although the number of people in the walled fort is small, if you ignore it, it is like a small thorn piercing Han Zhen's body, although it will not be fatal, but it is unbearable.

If you were to be an ordinary opponent and want to pull out these walled forts, you would have to fill them with at least thousands of lives.

But for Han Zhen, it's just a matter of a hundred or so firearms.

After dinner, all the soldiers began their final pre-battle preparations, one by one sitting around the campfire, wiping their swords and guns, and inspecting their armor.

In the main tent, Han Zhen and a group of generals gathered in front of a sand table.

Nie Dong said with a solemn face: "The scouts have found out that the western army has dug a large number of trenches on the opposite bank, and with the rejection of horses, I am afraid that the heavy cavalry will not be able to play well." ”

Wei Da nodded and agreed: "The first three times were all intentional calculations, naturally relaxed, but now that the firearms and iron horses have been exposed, Yang Weizhong will definitely be prepared and targeted." The two armies are fighting in a battle, and tomorrow will be a tough battle! ”

Hearing the rejection of horses and trenches, Liu Qi chuckled: "Then take off your armor and switch to the style of light riding." Three thousand men in light armor attacked and pulled on the left and right flanks, and the remaining 1,500 heavy horsemen stood by in place, and the timing of the charge was ordinary. ”

The only remaining 3,000 light cavalry of the Western Army were taken to Yucheng by Liang Fangping.

In this way, the Western Army will fall into passivity.

Even if it is supplemented by trenches and rejecting horses, the western army must allocate at least 10,000 men to deal with the attack of cavalry.

But in this case, the strength of the frontal battlefield will be weakened.

You must know that on the battlefield, only cavalry can deal with cavalry, and if one side does not have cavalry, the odds of victory will be very low.

The two armies fought head-to-head, not in a day or two, but in ten and a half days, it was normal.

I have cavalry, and you don't, so I can attack your logistical baggage forces with impunity.

As soon as the grain and grass are cut off, they will be self-defeating.

In addition to this, cavalry can also be sent to use the tactic of exhausting the enemy at night.

In just two or three days, the unbearable soldiers will collapse on their own.

During the second Northern Expedition the year before last, Yelu Dashi used a move to collapse the 500,000 Song military camp.

The reason why Yue Fei was able to defeat the Jin army many times was that in addition to the strong combat power of the Yue family's army, what was more important was that Yue Fei had an elite light cavalry of thousands of people in his hands, which could entangle the Jin people's abduction horses.

If you want to win the cavalry by relying purely on foot soldiers, you must either rely on the city walled fort, or in the mountains or in an environment with dense water networks, otherwise the chances are slim.

"Luo Jing!"

Han Zhen suddenly spoke.

"The last general!"

Luo Jing was excited, and hurriedly hugged his fists in response.

Han Zhen ordered: "Take my order, go to the quartermaster to get 200 firearms, attack in the middle of the night, and be sure to uproot all the walled forts of the Western Army before dawn!" ”

This kind of walled fort is perfectly restrained by firearms.

A firearm can easily solve a walled fort.

Luo Jing said loudly: "The last general is ordered!" ”

With that, he took the command and walked out of the main tent quickly.

Coming straight to the quartermaster's office, Luo Jing found Shi Wenhui, handed over the edict and said, "Shi joins the army, I will come and get two hundred firearms." ”

Firearms are the top priority, so Han Zhen's control over firearms is extremely strict, which is even better than the Divine Arm Crossbow.

No one is allowed to move without a hand.

Even if the hand-holding edict was taken, how much was taken, how it was distributed, the geometry used in the battle, and the remaining geometry must be strictly recorded.

If you hide it privately, kill the three clans!

After carefully checking the handwriting of the handwriting, and touching the slightly raised number on the edge with his fingertips, Shi Wenhui took out his seal, stamped it on it, and ordered: "Bring two hundred firearms to Battalion Commander Luo!" ”

"Yes!"

The clerk bowed down.

While speaking, Shi Wenhui opened an account book, picked up a pen and began to record.

A short time later, several secretaries returned with four large wooden boxes.

Shi Wenhui handed over the brush in his hand and chuckled: "Battalion Commander Luo, sign and draw!" ”

"Good!"

Luo Jing took the brush and wrote his name crookedly, then dipped his thumb in the ink and pressed it under the name.

In the future, if the firearm is leaked, Han Zhen can be directly held accountable with the cashier's record.

Therefore, Luo Jing, as the person directly responsible, for the sake of his own life and future, will definitely be cautious and cautious, and be more cautious.

After going through the whole process, he ordered the soldiers of the scout camp to move the wooden box away.

……

"Huh!"

At night, in a walled fort, there was a sound of inhalation.

Cold!

The biting cold, the cold air ran through the gaps in the armor and drilled straight into the body.

The fort was small and could not be lit for concealment at night.

Therefore, the soldiers could only resist.

Li Si was very sleepy, but he couldn't sleep at all, it was too cold.

He couldn't feel the presence of his feet anymore, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and he only hoped that the soldiers who would succeed him would come sooner.

Laugh at~

Suddenly, a faint sound came into my ears.

The voice was very strange, and he vaguely felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

Firearm!

When a firearm is lit in the army, it seems to be the same sound.

Li Si was startled, and immediately picked up the Divine Arm Crossbow on his waist.

At that moment, a little twinkling spark was thrown in through the narrow window.

Rumble!

A deafening loud bang rang in my ears like thunder.

Li Si felt that he was hit by a Mercedes-Benz chariot, and the whole person flew out upside down, slammed into the earthen wall, and lost his life.

Boom Boom!

In the dark night, loud noises rang out from time to time.

In the Western Army barracks, Zhang Junluo got up from the bed, quickly put on his armor, and rushed out of the tent.

Outside the barracks, there were many people, and some soldiers didn't even have time to put on their armor, so they rushed out of the tent barefoot, looking panicked.

"What's wrong?"

"The Qingzhou Army is coming!"

In the midst of the chaos, a burst of shouts suddenly sounded: "Silence! The thieves did not call, everyone went back to the military tent, otherwise the military law will deal with it! ”

Han Shizhong stood in the crowd with a gloomy face.

This sound made the panicked soldiers calm down instantly.

After being slightly stunned for a moment, they all returned to their respective military tents.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for Han Shizhong's timely handling, it was very likely that there would be a camp roar.

Camp Howling!

When any commander hears these two words, his expression will change drastically, as if he is facing a great enemy.

Once there is a camp roar, it will quickly sweep through the entire barracks like a huge flood wave, and no one will be spared.

After the soldiers dispersed, Han Shizhong looked at Zhang Jun and said loudly: "General Zhang, you are invited to go to the White Tiger Hall to discuss matters!" ”

"I'll go!"

Zhang Jun nodded and walked towards the main account.

Seeing the two of them walking in, Yang Weizhong asked, "Is the soldier pacified?" ”

Han Shizhong replied: "I have asked them to go back to the camp tent, and there should be no more camp noise." ”

The battalion roar is mainly a continuous battle, and the soldiers' spirits are always in a state of tension, at this time, suddenly by external stimuli, the tight string may break, which will lead to a violent rage.

Generally speaking, camp howls mainly occur at night.

The darkness of the night, coupled with the sudden awakening from a dream, is more likely to lose control under multiple pressures than during the day.

Han Shizhong's voice made the soldiers sober up a little.

"Hmm!"

Yang Weizhong bowed slightly, turned his head and said, "General Zhang, the series of loud noises just now is the sound of firearms exploding?" ”

The power of firearms, he and Han Shizhong have only heard of it, but they have never seen it with their own eyes.

But Zhang Jun has experienced it himself, so he naturally knows it.

"That's right!"

Recalling the fiasco of that day, a trace of indignation flashed in Zhang Jun's eyes.

Han Shizhong was puzzled: "The Qingzhou army is attacking the walled fort?" ”

"It should be, I used firearms, but I'm afraid that those walled forts won't be able to keep them."

Yang Weizhong's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This Han Zhen is calm in his use of soldiers, tightly fitting, advancing step by step, and not giving the slightest chance. ”

Zhang Jun echoed: "If you can defeat us one after another, this person should not be underestimated. ”

"Bell, bell!"

While the two were talking, a rapid gong suddenly sounded in the barracks.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Thundered!

The sound of the galloping horses came faintly from afar.

Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun's faces changed.

Yang Weizhong said in a calm tone: "The trenches outside the military village are vertical and horizontal, and there are many horses rejecting horses, and the heavy armored cavalry can't rush in, this is the skill of the Qingzhou army to exhaust the enemy!" ”

"The last general will go and see."

Han Zhen said and walked out of the main account.

The soldier who had just woken up and returned to the tent to lie down, before he could close his eyes, hurriedly got up, put on his armor, took his weapons and rushed out of the tent.

However, as soon as he came out of the military tent, he heard Han Shizhong say in a loud voice: "Don't panic, this is a plan to fight against thieves and fatigue the enemy, you soldiers don't have to pay attention to it, and continue to sleep." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Western Army had no choice but to return to the camp again.

Swish!

A dense round of rockets, projectile.

The ignited arrows, like meteors, flew towards the barracks.

Yang Weizhong set up a horse rejection and a ditch outside the military wall, so that the cavalry could not approach the barracks, but most of the arrow rain thrown by the three-stone hard bow still fell on the wall, and the dry wood on the wall was ignited, so that the soldiers of the Western Army were in a hurry.

After a rain of arrows, Huang Kai did not stop, and immediately led the light cavalry to retreat.

After a while, it struck again, throwing a second wave of arrows.

Although they knew that it was a strategy to exhaust the enemy, the Western Army had no way to deal with it, so it could only defend passively.

Every half hour, the cavalry of the Qingzhou Army would launch an attack.

Even if the soldiers of the Western Army knew it in their hearts, they still couldn't stop panicking when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, how could they still sleep.

Just half-asleep, half-awake, in a daze, unconsciously, the sky quietly brightened.

The drums sounded, and the soldiers of the Western Army yawned and walked out of the camp listlessly.

Seeing this scene, a look of helplessness flashed in Yang Weizhong's eyes.

The scouts couldn't compare, and the only cavalry was taken away, and he couldn't do anything.
