Chapter 797 Liu Ji's Tactics

Chapter 797 Liu Ji's Tactics

Li Xingzhou walked out of the yamen lobby, and all the people waiting outside looked at him in unison. They were all covered in mud and haggard.

"It's all free." He said in advance when everyone was about to salute.

"I came out to thank you all personally. Without you, with these cannons, we would have scored another three points in winning against the Jinren. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, you are the first contributors to Jingguo!" Li Xingzhou said loudly.

Everyone became excited: "My lord, as long as we can beat that dog's golden dog for 1 day, we will be worth it even if we die!"

"Yes, they're all here anyway, so if you can't fight the enemy, you have to contribute!" Another person shouted.

"It would be great if there was meat to eat," someone said weakly.

"Hahaha"

"."

Li Xingzhou also laughed: "Okay, tell the cook to add meat to these brothers tonight, as much as you want, enough!"

Everyone's faces were exhausted immediately, and they shouted his name happily and cheered.

Li Xingzhou looked at their smiling faces, and when he smiled, he suddenly became a little bit bitter. God did not help, which caused their suffering. The confrontation between man and nature, in the end, it is always man who is miserable, but there is a kind of other kind buried in the blood of Chinese people since ancient times. Famous ethnicity, the tenacity that other countries do not understand.

Maybe it's in daily life, maybe it's in the hatred of the country and family, maybe it's the seeds planted at birth.If you want to make a simple summary, it's like the phrase "my fate is up to me", so no matter how tragic and difficult it is, there must always be tenacity, and there will always be unyielding people.

That kind of blood is connected with him, step by step to the present, he can feel the call of that blood more and more.

Li Xingzhou turned back to the officer and said: "Tomorrow I will give you a team. You go and bring back the bodies of your brothers and bury them in Yanshan Mansion. The rain is so heavy that they may have been washed out by the rain. The mountains are full of wolves, tigers and leopards. They It's not easy, let's go to the ground and rest in peace."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness!" The officer leading the team bowed heavily to him with tears in his eyes.

Soon, the third division set off, led by Liu Ji.

The reason why he chose Liu Ji was that Li Xingzhou felt that he was calmer than Yan Shen, and more ruthless than Wei Yubai. His experience and sufferings made him a style of not talking much, doing things reliably, ruthlessly, and daring to go all out.

Liu Ji said very little on the way, and without looking at his expression, Li Xingzhou knew that he had something on his mind, and said with a smile: "You must think again why I didn't choose Wei Yubai, who I trust the most, and Yan Shen, who is absolutely obedient to me, but you. to accomplish such an important thing.”

"Your Highness knows people's hearts." Liu Ji said.

"It's very simple. You are the most ruthless person I can use with confidence. You are ruthless to yourself and to the enemy." He replied.

Liu Ji listened and nodded.

Li Xingzhou continued, "Ninghai Fort is bare for a few miles. If you want to get close, you can only march at night. No problem."

"No."

"This battle must be fast, and we must open the gap with lightning speed, attack before the main force of the Jin army has no reaction, and avoid tug-of-war with them." Li Xingzhou said seriously: "From Ninghai Fort to the main city of Shanhaiguan, probably There are five miles away. If the Jin army gets information reinforcements, it will take less than half an hour to arrive, and most of them will be there. Therefore, from the first shot of the cannon, I want you to completely control Ninghai Fort and the southern city wall within half an hour!
is that OK. "

"No problem!" Liu Ji agreed decisively, and then he made a request in turn: "The subordinate agrees to what His Highness said, and immediately issued a military order! But the subordinate hopes that His Highness will allow me to command when the battle is about to take place."

"Don't worry, I won't intervene in the command at will, just go ahead and fight." Li Xingzhou promised decisively.

Five days after setting off, they arrived in Pingzhou City.

Regarding their arrival, Pingzhou defender Gu Lichuan was in a daze.

Li Xingzhou ordered Gu Lichuan to pick out [-] elite soldiers from the Pingzhou garrison to keep up with them. Gu Lichuan complied, but it took time to assemble the troops. He will set off the next day to catch up with the third division.

That night, after a short rest, the third division braved the night and quietly set off to Haining Fort.

In summer, the star river is bright and the moonlight is bright, which provides them with certain convenience, but it is difficult to transport the cannons, and 48 cannons are their main transport that night. Liu Ji ordered that all the cannons should enter the predetermined positions before dawn .

There were originally 48 new guns before and after, but two of them had problems during transportation, and [-] were available.

And the third division still has fifty old-fashioned cannons. The old-fashioned cannons are not heavy. Very difficult.

Fortunately, the new cannon has a long range and high accuracy. The old cannon's position must be advanced within two miles (this is not counting Songli, and the standard of 500 meters in the future) will work, while the new cannon will be within four or five miles. Can hit accurately outside.

Therefore, after careful observation by the artillery, the position was set on a hillside three miles away from the city wall. At such a distance, it was difficult for the enemy at the head of the city to detect movement, let alone at night.

Throughout the night, the new army quietly passed through Pingzhou City and approached Ninghai Fort. Everyone was very energetic and did not sleep.

The third division was also different from the first army. Liu Ji didn't order camp at all, but ordered the regiments to have food and shelter when they entered.

Afterwards, he did not use the offensive formation that Li Xingzhou taught them, the formation of large columns, skirmishers in front, and cavalry on both wings. .

And Liu Ji directly ordered all the regiments of the third division to form a skirmish line, crawl on standby in front of the artillery position, and try to get as close as possible to within two miles of the city wall by night.

Li Xingzhou was stunned. All stragglers, this Liu Ji simply used the equipment before World War I and played the tactics of World War II.
However, because he had promised him not to intervene in the command, he had no choice but to watch a large number of soldiers of the new army slowly disappear into the night in units of squads from the rear three miles away from the city wall.

Liu Ji is going to fight for firepower!At the risk of command confusion, fight for a burst of firepower!

Although the tactics Li Xingzhou taught them cannot fully utilize their firepower, because only a regiment of skirmishers at the front can fire at full strength, and the people behind often cannot see the enemy, so they can only continue to replenish and replace comrades who have run out of ammunition, but it is expensive In a good command, there will be no chaos, and the front, rear, left, and right can resist the impact of cavalry.

In the era without radio stations, it was very difficult to command an array of 1 people. As long as the formation is not chaotic, the side with effective command will have a high probability of winning. Effective command and stable formation.

And Liu Ji's approach is completely like the troops of World War II, all stragglers are spread out, they don't play formations, what they want is firepower, firepower, or tm firepower!
Everyone can shoot at the enemy, but the price of this is chaos. The reason why World War II can be fought like this is because there is a radio station, which can effectively command a few kilometers, dozens of kilometers, and hundreds of kilometers, but Liu Ji has no radio station. ah!
Li Xingzhou's heart was about to jump out of his throat. If the soldiers were to fight like this, how would he, the coach, command them?This is too much a test of the quality of soldiers.

How to convey a simple attack order?

A division is laid out as skirmishers on the vast land, and it is everywhere within a few miles. The unified command is like a joke.

By messenger?That division has to be matched with a regiment of messengers, and they are all gods and cannot be messed up.

Seeing Liu Ji's deployment, Li Xingzhou felt cold sweat on his forehead at night, and finally couldn't help asking: "Liu Ji, can I trust you!"
