Chapter 2297 Gui Zi Scroll The cavalry protrudes with the sound of swords and guns (3)
The situation in Gule Village is almost the same.
The same method is to conduct reconnaissance first, then set up an ambush, and finally make a sudden attack to kill in one fell swoop.
However, the Jianzhou Army also showed strong combat effectiveness, which also made people vigilant. During the raid, every time a plan thought to be perfect would be destroyed by some unexpected factors, causing losses to one's own side.
During the entire battle to capture the two villages, a total of more than 110 Jianzhou troops were annihilated. Despite careful preparations, our side still suffered more than 30 casualties.
You must know that these are the elite scout battalions and personal soldiers battalions brought by Mao Wenlong's headquarters, but despite having an absolute advantage and a surprise attack, they were still counterattacked by the Jianzhou Army, causing such losses.
But all this is worth it in Mao Wenlong's opinion.
The status of Jiefan Village and Gule Village is very important. Even though the Jianzhou Army has now invaded the border wall and controlled the front line of Huabaochong and Sanchaerbao, after all, they are the closest to the front line of the Jianzhou Jurchen controlled area of the border wall.
For Baozhai, those who can still be stationed at Jiefan Village and Gule Village to defend the fortress under such circumstances are not the lowest-ranking troops in the Jianzhou Army. They are also elite. It is quite rare to achieve such a battle loss ratio.
Jiefan Village and Gule Village can provide short-term rest and recuperation space for the army. Even the two villages are very small and cannot accommodate nearly 10,000 troops. However, they store dry firewood, some grain and dried meat, and some can
The row houses were built to withstand the wind and snow, so everyone took turns to rest and take a sip of broth and dry food. It was also a rare respite for the soldiers who had traveled hundreds of miles.
Going further north from Jiefan Village and Gule Village, it is a wilderness with almost no resting place. We can only go straight to Fu'an Fort in one go and capture Fu'an Fort before we can rest.
According to the information passed by the current scouts, there are only more than 300 troops stationed in Fu'an Fort. Whether it is a forceful attack or a sneak attack, it should not be a problem.
But the more difficult challenge is after taking control of Fu'an Fort. The Jianzhou Army, which finds itself alone and breaks into its rear, will definitely counterattack wildly, but it also cannot stop at Fu'an Fort.
How to act depends on the stealth and suddenness of your own side's sneak attack. If you can capture Fu'an Fort quietly, or if you can maintain sufficient combat effectiveness after capturing Fu'an Fort, you can directly attack from the back line of Fanhe Institute.
If the Jianzhou Army launches a fierce attack, the Jianzhou Army will definitely be in chaos.
Similarly, if one's own actions are not decisive enough, not secretive enough, and not sudden enough, giving the Jianzhou Army time to detect the situation and react, then one's own side will most likely be trapped in Fu'an Fort and can only serve as a nail.
Although it can greatly restrain the Jianzhou Army, there is no possibility of making a surprise attack on the Jianzhou Army's rear, and this is exactly what Mao Wenlong hopes to achieve.
The more difficult and challenging it was, the more Mao Wenlong became more motivated to fight. Only such a surprise victory would be considered a miracle, and he would be qualified to compete for the position of deputy commander-in-chief.
Mao Wenlong even heard a different meaning from Commander Feng, which was that in the future, Dingliao Right Guards, Jinzhou Guards, Fuzhou Guards, and even Gaizhou Guards could be used to set up a new military town, such as Dongjiang Town.
.
Although he didn't say who should be the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but feel excited.
If I fight well in this battle, I can compete for the position of deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town. When the imperial court really wants to set up Dongjiang Town in the future to monitor North Korea and copy the Jurchens' retreat in Jianzhou, then the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town will be
Why can't I sit in the seat?
Just as Mao Wenlong and his troops were seizing the time to rest in Jiefan Village and Gule Village, Zhao Shujiao and You Shilu's troops here also started to launch a frontal offensive in full swing.
No matter how they launch a surprise attack, the Jianzhou Army lying across the Yi Road in front of them is the main force. If the foundation of the Jianzhou Army on this line is not shaken, neither Cao Wenzhao nor Mao Wenlong's sneak attacks will be effective.
Only when the frontal defense line is fought most intensely and another sneak attack from the rear shakes its retreat, can the Jianzhou Army's front be truly shaken or even collapse. Feng Ziying understands this, as does Zhao Lijiao and You Shilu.
At this time, it was time to launch a frontal attack regardless of casualties.
In fact, the frontal field battle between the two armies does not have too many tricks or tricks. It is nothing more than using one's own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses, maximizing one's own advantages, reducing the opponent's advantages, and at the same time competing with each other's military strength.
, Fighting will is easier said than done. Various factors here are difficult to quantify. Countless variables may cause the battlefield situation to change day by day.
Fortunately, Liaodong Town and Ji Town Army have always been the key military towns favored by the imperial court. The supplement of firearms has always been a priority. However, due to the lack of financial resources of the imperial court, the supplement of Liaodong Town and Ji Town is still very difficult, especially in the early northwest.
The army conquering Shandong urgently needs to give priority to equipment replacement, so the replenishment of Liaodong Town is lagging behind.
But even so, the firearms equipment in Liaodong Town is still one of the best among the border towns, especially the earliest inferior three-eye fireguns and other firearms have been completely eliminated, replaced by ordinary fireguns, heavy fireguns and a small number of self-generated fireguns.
Fireguns and artillery began to be equipped in battalion-level units.
The snow on the battlefield had already been trampled to pieces by the soldiers, and the vast white sky and earth were suddenly destroyed by the scattered black bare earth, making the entire beautiful landscape look extremely ugly, but it soon turned out to be extremely ugly.
God damn it, this landscape painting will be painted with a more bleak and bloody red color, which will make the entire landscape painting more violent and cruel.
Zhao led the teachings sitting on the horse, wearing a helmet and armor, with a solemn expression, and his eyes were like an eagle passing over the battlefield.
The Jianzhou Army on the opposite side had also formed its formation, and the cavalry mixed in with the infantry formation began to move restlessly, obviously intending to use their best cavalry shooting to tear apart their own formation first.
But Zhao Shujiao is not afraid of the opponent's cavalry. Although the opponent's cavalry is very strong, the Liaodong cavalry is not bad at all. They are not at a disadvantage in the battle and can even have the upper hand. The opponent's real strength is the armored infantry, which is tough and tenacious.
Brave and not afraid of death.
But now the fire musket soldiers in front of his formation have also lined up. Slightly taller than them are the two-person heavy eagle-billed musket soldiers. This is Zhao's trump card. After more than a year of hard training,
Their shooting speed has caught up with the reloading speed of ordinary firecrackers, but their shooting distance is more than twice as high.
A contemptuous and proud smile appeared on Yidu's thin cheeks.
The Liaodong Army still couldn't hold it in anymore. There were more than 10,000 people in Jun Song's tribe. If they kept dragging it on, even if they didn't attack Tieling Acropolis, they could trap and starve to death in Tieling Acropolis.
inside.
At first, Er Yidu had no ambition to swallow the Juniper Department in one go, so he planned to drive the Juniper Department all the way south and take as many bites as he could. After all, Juniper was considered to be one of the few veterans in Liaodong Town.
The troops in his hands do not have an absolute advantage, but who would have thought that this guy would dare to arrogantly stand in Tieling Guard City and pretend to defend Tieling Guard without looking at the current situation?
Since the Juniper Division refuses to leave, E Yidu will certainly not tolerate him. If he cannot seize such a God-given opportunity, then his whole life's battles will be in vain.
The Great Khan devised a strategy of encircling the points and calling for reinforcements, trapping Jun Song's troops in Tieling Acropolis. Jun Song led his troops to rush out several times, but was beaten back slowly by his own side.
We can neither make Juniper think that this is an iron wall and lose its determination to break through and defend it wholeheartedly, nor let it think that it can break through easily and break through more fiercely, otherwise the losses to our own side will be too great.
Just like this, the longer the delay, the lower the morale of Jun Song's army and the weaker their will to fight, which will be conducive to annihilating this unit and taking the Tieling Acropolis in the future.
Now it seems that this strategy is correct. After two months, the Juniper Department has been worn out of temper, its morale has dropped sharply, and its combat effectiveness has also been visibly weakened. Everyone predicts that if it drags on for another month, Tieling will
The acropolis can be defeated without a fight.
But the only thing I didn't expect was that Zhou's reinforcements came so quickly and decisively, and they dispatched the northern army, mainly the Jizhen Army, to come for reinforcements. This suddenly increased the number of troops on our side who wanted to let go of the Yilusuo and Fanhe lines.
There was pressure, but Er Yidu still felt that he was confident that through the same method, the setbacks Zhao Lijiao had suffered before could happen again with You Shilu's Jizhen Army.
Er Yidu didn't know that Zhao Lianjiao had also made up his mind this time and pulled out all his old friends. The previous battle was more like a pre-dinner meal. The two sides fought fiercely for several times, but the Liaodong Army did not achieve much.
Although they were at a disadvantage, the Jianzhou Army also fought vigorously, making the battle situation ugly.
But things are different now. Feng Ziying came in person with Shang Fang's sword in hand. Even Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong had to go into battle in person to supervise the battle, ordering their elite men to attack the west wing defended by Hu Erhan regardless of losses. If Zhao Shujiao still dared to do this
If she conserves her strength or is timid under certain circumstances, then Feng Ziying may really have to make a decisive move to establish her authority in battle.
As the dull drum beat sounded, the formations of both sides began to change. The armored infantry of the Jianzhou Army began to move forward slowly. At the same time, the infantry formations of the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army also began to move closer to the center, and the spears on both wings began to move forward.
Binghe began to shrink slightly, forming a curved arc.
At this time, the right-wing cavalry of the Jianzhou Army had begun to run. They continued to speed up in front of the formation, like a sharp sickle, passing in an arc a hundred paces in front of the formations of the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army.
As the Jianzhou cavalry continued to approach the infantry formation, with a sharp whistle, the cavalry drew their bows and arrows, and arrows rained into the sky.
This is the most powerful projectile attack of the Jurchen cavalry, and it is also their specialty.
