Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 116 Contradictions
Shao Ling led [-] soldiers under him, and according to Wang Xiao's command of Lie Shuai Banner, he slowly advanced towards Yang Jinjun's left flank.After all, Yang Jin's troops are not a regular army, there are not many bows and crossbows in the army, and there are not many obstacles on the road.

There are a lot of bows and crossbows in the regular army of the Song Dynasty, most of which account for more than [-]%.The attacking army often has to be baptized by the rain of arrows first.It's not really a strong army, and it often collapses on the road.

Fighting against the Song army, the Liao army relied on long-distance penetration and cutting off food roads.Xixia relies on striding forward and retreating, gathering superior forces on favorable terrain.The Jin army is different, relying on a frontal attack, and the cavalry maneuvers quickly.

Yang Jin's army didn't have these things, so they could only form a dense formation and wait for Shao Ling to attack.

Wang Xiaolie looked to the west, and Zhai Xing's troops had already crossed the river and began to line up on the bank.However, Yang Jin still occupies a favorable location and has a large number of people, so there is no disadvantage.Zhai Xing's army was about to cross the river, and it was obvious that they fought very hard.

Standing at Wang Xiaolie's position, the voices from the front line could no longer be heard clearly.I just saw Shao Ling's one, bumping into Yang Jin's left wing, and stuck there.The rest of the armies stood quietly, waiting for the results there.

After a cup of tea, Yang Jin's army formation began to waver and become disorganized.Seeing this, Xie Linong and Yu Huan, who were behind, cheered together.

On the top of the mountain in the south, Niu Gao organized the army formation and quietly observed the movement below.

After all, Yang Jin's army had no rules, did not search around the battlefield, and found no movement of Niu Gao.It's just that the formation is neat now, and Niu Gao has no place to attack when he rushes down, so he has to wait quietly.

The sun rose above the head, Wang Xiaolie waited a little anxiously.Shao Ling moved Yang Jinjun's formation, but did not break up.The nearby army supported in time and stabilized the whole army.If the formation of the whole army is not chaotic, there will be no chance of attack.

The sun streaked across the sky, and in the afternoon, Shao Ling's first army had no choice but to withdraw, and the two armies continued to confront each other.After that, there were only a few dozen small-scale battles on the battlefield, and there was no major battle.One day passed like this.

Back at the barracks, Zhai Cong said to Wang Xiaohun: "Zhizhou, fight with all your strength and don't hesitate. Like today, when will we be able to defeat Yang Jin? Yang Jin's banditry, the longer the time, the more morale he will have. exuberant!"

Wang Xiaolie looked at Zhai Cong, and said calmly: "Although Yang Jin's army was impulsive today, they are not scattered and have no chance. Ya Nei can wait at ease. If there is a chance, I will naturally not let it go."

Zhai Cong said anxiously: "Our army is separated from Yang Jin's first army by the Yi River. If not, we would have killed him long ago! Zhizhou—"

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "Ya Nei, you are watching the battle in our army, you said earlier that you are not an army supervisor! How to fight, I have my own plan!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't turn his head back to Shuai Zhang.Zhai Cong stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a while.

Wang Xiaolie hated Zhai Cong in his army very much.He came to urge himself, even more annoying.From the bottom of his heart, Wang Xiaolie hoped to have a good relationship with the Zhai family, and treated Zhai Cong with courtesy.But it's one thing to treat him kindly, another to let him dictate.

When the army fights a war, of course, it hopes to have someone to help, and one more person will give more strength.Even if it's just an opinion, even if the opinion is worthless, that's fine.But it's another matter to have someone pointing fingers at one side, to do this, to do that.This is the reason why I hate the supervising army from top to bottom.

Wang Xiaolie knew that Zhai Cong was a good person, and he didn't want to fall out with him.But the one who died in the front was his own uncle, and the entire Zhai family army was completely unknown, vowing to fight Yang Jin to the death, and his vision of himself changed.No matter what he did, he felt that he was not trying his best.

When it was getting late, Wang Xiaolie called the commander of the army to his tent.After thinking about it, he sent another soldier to call Zhai Cong.

Zhai Cong entered the commander's tent, and saw the commanders sitting on both sides, with wine and meat in front of each of them.There was an empty seat above, presumably reserved for myself.

Wang Xiaolie said: "We have fought all day today, and there are gains and losses. We discuss here, and if the yamen have free time, they can sit aside and listen."

Zhai Cong was a little embarrassed and hurriedly thanked him.

Xie Linong said: "What Zhizhou said is true. The yamen is not here, so it is inevitable to guess and guess. We are fighting life and death on the front line, and the yamen may think that we are not doing our best. Listening together, the yamen also feels at ease."

Wang Xiaolie said: "When you say that, isn't it just random guessing about the inner thoughts of the yamen? Our own people should not guess and guess, just speak up when we have something to say. Temporary unhappiness is common, don't form knots in your heart."

Zhai Cong crossed his hands: "What Zhizhou said is true."

Wang Xiaolie raised the wine bowl: "Let's drink a bowl first, and then talk."

He drank wine and ate a few pieces of meat.Wang Xiaolie said: "In today's battle, although Yang Jin's formation was not disrupted, it can be seen that his formation is not very tight. If we fight tomorrow, we'd better find a way to be more intense."

Shao Ling said: "It's too slow to lead the infantry forward. Only Yang Jin's army is a mob, otherwise how could it be so smooth? Tomorrow, we will lead all the cavalry and charge with all our strength. The infantry panicked when they saw the cavalry."

Wang Xiaolie said: "We only have a few hundred cavalry, how many are all together? Besides, I use Niu Gao as a surprise soldier, if all of them are infantry, it is difficult to seize the opportunity to fight."

Shao Ling said: "It doesn't need much, as long as there are one hundred cavalry, it is better than today's five hundred infantry."

Wang Xiaolie nodded, unable to make up his mind for a moment.To be honest, cavalry should be used for this small group of troops to charge the battle.Cavalry is indeed used in most cases.However, there are too few cavalry in Wang Xiao's hunting army, so it's impossible to do it.

Unlike infantry, cavalry has a variety of tactics and is highly mobile.You can rush to the front of the formation and change direction, you can use bows and arrows to disrupt the enemy formation, you can directly charge hard, and there are various tactics.Once unfavorable, you can also withdraw in time and change the direction of attack.

Zhai Cong said: "There are many cavalry in Yang Jin's army, and they are all placed on the bank of the Yi River to prevent us from rushing across the bank. If there are cavalry in Zhizhou, we should use our best. If not, Yang Jin will transfer the cavalry here. It's not good."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a long time, and said: "What you said is also reasonable. How about it, tomorrow Shao Ling will lead 150 cavalry and charge directly at the enemy's formation. Niu Gao will lead the other 150 people, and still go to the mountain as a surprise soldier. As long as Shao Ling rushes the enemy's formation, Don't wait for the army to cover up, just attack the weak points of the enemy's formation directly from the mountain. These three hundred cavalry are the entire wealth of our army."

Shao Ling and Niu Gao crossed their hands and agreed.

When Zhai Cong saw it, he couldn't help but feel happy.At this time, he was very anxious, wishing that Wang Xiaohun would fight the enemy to the death without sleep.It's just that when Wang Xiaolie returned to the camp just now, what he said was inappropriate, so he didn't dare to force him anymore.

To be honest, Zhai Jin is the envoy of Northwest Beijing Road, who can mobilize Wang Xiaolie.Once Zhai Jin died, Zhai Xing did not have a first-level official position, let alone Zhai Cong, why command Wang Xiaohun to fight?
