Chapter 218 The officers and soldiers are as indefatigable as if they have taken magic medicine!
When the capital city undergoes earth-shaking changes, preparations for a war far away in Juyongguan, Xuanhua, are also taking place!
After the Battle of Guguan, Liu Yuanbin did not give Xiong Daheng time to repair, and directly ordered them to leave a brigade of people to guard the prisoners and capture, while the rest of the troops marched towards Juyongguan. The capture of this pursuit was quite abundant.
The food can at least feed the prisoners in Guguan for a month. The 20,000 mules and horses are an urgent solution. The nearly 20,000 new troops in Guguan can ride on the mules and horses to quickly move to Juyongguan.
The New Army were all from the north, so they couldn't hope to fight on mules and horses, but they could still march on horseback.
With the arrival of mules and horses, the marching speed was greatly increased. In only four days, Xiong Daheng led a division of men and horses to the city of Juyongguan, which was 600 miles away.
With this division of troops, Liu Yuanbin had a lot of money. He planned to defeat the intruders on the front line of Juyongguan first without waiting for other troops to arrive. It would be a long time to station 200,000 to 300,000 troops here.
.
Thirty thousand versus two hundred thousand was a bit disparity in terms of strength, but in terms of combat effectiveness, Liu Yuanbin felt that he was confident that he could figure things out with these 30,000 people.
"Everyone, our new army has been deeply blessed by the Holy Spirit since its establishment, and has also shouldered the great expectations of the Holy Spirit to revitalize the country. The intruders have been lingering outside the pass for too long, and I feel that I can no longer tolerate them in Beizhili.
The surrounding area continues to be lawless. Therefore, we decided to rely on the New Army's First Division and Fourth Division to launch a duel with the main force of the intruders."
After Liu Yuanbin finished speaking, he stood up and began to issue military orders for this battle. "For this battle, all existing regiment-level cavalry will be organized into the Western Front Command Cavalry Commando Team, with Ren Shuangyou as the commander. We will be responsible for our
After the main force dug a gap, they charged into the enemy formation and quickly expanded the results. In addition, 3,000 infantry skilled in riding skills were drawn from each brigade in the army, and 3,000 usable horses were selected from the mules and horses brought by Commander Xiong.
The Dragon Cavalry is responsible for following behind the commando and assisting in the pursuit. Other troops and horses will attack as a whole. Once the battle begins, the brigade will be divided into units to pursue. Before the military order is issued, you must move forward bravely and pursue the enemy with all your strength.
.”
"We honor your order!" All the officers who stood up saluted Liu Yuanbin and promised to accept the order.
Only then did Liu Yuanbin understand that the biggest difference between the new army and the old army was when they fought. Although there were some differences between the new army and the old army in terms of organization, the biggest difference was not there. The biggest difference was that the organization of the new army was
In order to organize wars more conveniently, instead of forming military branches like the old army, the new army can rely on these establishments to flexibly organize personnel into modular groups and adjust the scale and composition of the establishment at any time. It is difficult for the old army to do this.
One thing is, whichever troops the old army wants to mobilize, they must mobilize all troops, otherwise they will not be able to mobilize troops. Even if they are mobilized, they will not be able to form a combat force.
The old army fights without the charge of the servants, and other troops cannot fight. Once the war begins, the life and death of an army depends entirely on the performance of the general. If the main general dies first, the entire army will collapse.
The old army transfers generals, and the new army transfers troops. This is the biggest difference!
After Liu Yuanbin's military order was issued, all units of the New Army came out one after another that day and prepared for a decisive battle with the intruders.
Naturally, Li Zicheng also saw the changes in Guancheng. These days, he and his men have been fighting hard with Mayu Liang's troops outside the city. However, the results of the battle were disappointing. There were more than 3,000 officers and soldiers. He lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, but there was still nothing he could do.
At the same time, Hao Yaoqi, who was going to attack Guguan, received urgent news. He and Liu Fangliang were severely defeated at Guguan. Liu Fangliang folded on the battlefield, and the soldiers and horses who went to attack the city were defeated.
With all their elite troops depleted and unable to fight any more, they had to retreat to Taiyuan City to rest and recuperate.
Now, the enemy troops at Juyongguan have left the city again, and the situation is probably even worse than at Guguan.
"The official dogs came out of seclusion and formed an array. They want to make a big effort to completely defeat our army's Northern Expedition. Now that things have happened, I will naturally have a good fight with the official dogs who have come out of seclusion. You must go all out to meet the enemy.
, this is the battle for the founding of our country in Dashun, and there must be no mistakes." Li Zicheng also had to mobilize before the war! Although the number of officers and soldiers coming out of the customs was large, it was not to the point that Li Zicheng was afraid. It was not just twenty or thirty thousand.
Officials and soldiers? It's not like they haven't fought before. The worst they can do is be defeated.
Early on the next morning, the two armies began a formal duel. This battle was different from the Battle of Guguan. Li Zicheng did not put infantry in front of the formation, but dropped more than 20,000 cavalry at the forefront of the formation. The breaking army relied on cavalry
Li Zicheng thought it would be more reassuring to have the cavalry at the front of the position.

The new army did not care whether they were cavalry or infantry in front of them. They advanced towards the camp of the invaders in an orderly manner according to established tactical principles. Li Zicheng's cavalry relied on sparse firearms and bows and arrows to deal with the new army with all their strength, but with little effect.
It did not stop the advance of the new army. Two hours later, the new army had advanced to the front of the army's formation.
Facing the main force of the approaching New Army, the Chuang Army's formation was a little chaotic. Fighting head-on battles has always been the shortcoming of the Chuang Army. When a large group of enemy troops rushed to the front of the army formation and Pilibala's grenades entered the position,
Chuang Jun unconsciously chose to retreat.
"Shuangyou, your commando is about to take action! Remember, you have to move forward bravely, no matter what, just rush forward with all your strength." When Liu Yuanbin saw that the main line of the intruders began to retreat, he immediately judged that it was time to use the cavalry quickly.
The situation has opened up.
"I accept your orders!" After Ren Shuangyou said his word, he led three thousand cavalrymen into the army formation. Once inside the formation, Ren Shuangyou and the others did nothing but shoot and throw grenades in the crowd.
After the military stopped the scattered invading army from being bombed like this, there was an immediate collapse.
Seeing that the army was collapsing, Li Zicheng was helpless. He knew that he was going to experience another big defeat this time. He tried to let the soldiers around him stabilize the formation, but it was in vain. The already chaotic army could not be recovered.
Can't live.
"Command the entire army to withdraw in the direction of Datong!" The collapsed army did not panic Li Zicheng, but calmly arranged the evacuation of the personnel.
While he was arranging the evacuation, the New Army's cavalry had already rushed into the formation of the Breaking Army and started fighting with Li Zicheng's old camp cavalry. The old camp cavalry of the Breaking Army were still skilled in cavalry battles. They were all veterans.
Youzi are fighting in cavalry, but facing the New Army cavalry who are all armed with bent guns, it is difficult for them to have a chance to engage in close combat! The ones at the front are the members of the assault regiment, and their level of cavalry combat can be regarded as the best in this era.
The top ones existed, and after a few rounds, the old camp of the Chuang Army couldn't hold on anymore and began to retreat.
Beating up a drowned dog is the elite of the New Army's three fierce tactics. Just as the cavalry from both sides were charging, some infantry brigades had already rushed in front of them and continued to fight without hesitation.
This fast-running style of play of the New Army was something the Chuang Army had never seen before when they fought against the official infantry. They had been chased and cut down by cavalry, but they were rarely chased and cut down by the infantry. The official infantry seemed to be eaten.
After taking the magical medicine, they couldn't stop running. Most of the intruders couldn't hold on after running for two or three miles, and stayed there gasping for air. This was a good time to have their heads harvested.
