Water Margin farming to become powerful

The Xiangqing Army was located at the junction of the arid and semi-arid zones, deep in the Ningxia Plain of later generations. The weather in June was extremely dry, and it was a hot day. It led people to attack, and not far from the city gate, the men and horses were already covered with a thick layer of sand. dust.

Wanyan Zonghan followed Brother Richard on horseback. Although he was quite disdainful of Brother Richard's tactics, seeing the vigorous posture of Brother Richard and his iron ducks, he had to admit that these Xixia soldiers were indeed It is one of the strongest armies in the world.

Brother Richard's most elite iron ducks, half of them without armor at this time, turned into light cavalry and ran towards the enemy's rear flank along with Brother Richard.

Brother Richard divided the cavalry into two parts. One part followed behind wearing armor, while the other part went up to try to attack the enemy's rear formation.

It would be best if Brother Richard could defeat Luan Tingyu's Chinese army. If not, the light cavalry in front would immediately be defeated in disguise, attracting Luan Tingyu to pursue him.

Brother Richard knew that his iron ducks were strong enough. Even if they were defeated in disguise, it would never turn into a real defeat. He had to endure the sacrifices while escaping while still being able to organize a counterattack. He would definitely be able to pull off this drama. very beautiful.

Even Wanyan Zonghan couldn't find any problems with such tactics.

"Kill them!"

A group of party cavalry were slashing towards the central army where the protection troops were located. Most of the protection troops on the battlefield were gathered on the south side of the castle. Even if they saw Brother Richard and the others charging out, there was no way to catch up.

Behind the group of light cavalry, more than 1000 iron ducks were fully equipped, ready to rush into the battlefield at any time like iron towers.

The Dangxiang cavalry who rushed at the forefront came to Luan Tingyu's team. It was better to say it was a group of people than a group of people marching slowly.

Fortunately, Luan Tingyu had already sent out his cavalry to escape the fall, and discovered the light cavalry sent by Brother Richard in advance.

The two protection regiments quickly changed directions and fired rounds of volleys at the place where the light cavalry rushed.

And Brother Richard's iron duck who had taken off his armor was already showing signs of collapse after being shot rapidly by a volley of guns.

Only some people were able to rush to the front of the Protector's Army and fight with their weapons as planned. However, when they got so close, their companions were almost dead. The Protector's Army immediately counterattacked with bayonets.

Then Brother Richard and Wanyan Zonghan watched in stunned silence as the most elite iron duck in the Xixia Kingdom was beaten so violently by the enemy after taking off his armor, and actually collapsed in front of a group of infantry.

The fighting will of these people was not as good as that of the Jurchens. It was the first time they saw such a dense firearms attack, and the moment of panic was not something that a strong will could withstand.

The Protectorate's tactics against the enemy's cavalry charge had been practiced for a long time. They used firearms to directly beat the enemy's charge formation to the point where they could not see each other. However, the party members who were angry for the first time were completely unprepared.

Although you can tell from a distance that the firearms of the Protectorate are powerful, the on-the-spot tension when you are in a hail of bullets is completely different from what you could have imagined while watching the battle from a distance.

Brother Richard and Wanyan Zonghan were both dumbfounded. They saw a group of people swarming towards the enemy's line like ants. As a result, the more they ran, the fewer people there were. The iron ducks rushing in front dispersed as they ran, and people kept moving back. Escape until one-third of the cavalry in front are dead or injured, and then the iron duck cavalry behind will charge randomly on the battlefield.

Although the generals were still trying their best to control the situation, from a distance, one could tell that the more than 1000 decoy light cavalry were completely useless.

The original plan was to use these light cavalry to lure the enemy's counterattack, but in an instant, his army collapsed. The enemy's main formation did not fight out at all, but just watched the Xixia people escape from a distance.

Brother Richard scratched his head and couldn't figure out why these Han people didn't go after them when they had such a good opportunity.The generals of the protection army who were guarding the Chinese army at this time had normal expressions on their faces.

Everyone has received Luan Tingyu's order and knows what they should do. How could they leave their positions to chase the enemy when they see an advantage halfway?

All of Luan Tingyu's orders were carried out safely, and now Luan Tingyu had achieved a great victory on the frontal battlefield exactly as Luan Tingyu had planned.

The orders of the Protective Army on the battlefield are very strict. They are required to complete their combat missions in accordance with the instructions of their superiors. The real credit is earned by exerting subjective initiative while completing their own missions.

The order they received today was to protect Luan Tingyu's Chinese army and advance to crush the enemy troops south of the castle in front of them.

The correct way to get a commendation is to complete the task faster while crushing the enemy, cooperate better with your companions, or your own damage is much lower than the original staff expected.

Only by completing tasks better and completing more difficult tasks in the protection army can you get rewards. The behavior of being overjoyed with success is never encouraged.

As long as they advance slowly, they can take down the castle in front of them step by step according to their previous plan. Why do they need to run away from the position they should be responsible for?

What if Luan Tingyu's Chinese army is threatened by a rash attack?
The army-building thinking of the Protective Army has always been that a unit is a collective, and the collective must work together to complete a task.

In a group, everyone's performance should be taken into consideration.

On the opposite side, Wanyan Zonghan and Brother Richard are still fighting with the thinking of the old-era army. They feel that there are many strong soldiers under the protection army, and each general must have his own goals, and there will be problems such as greed and rashness. .

So the deserters must be hunted down.

Brother Richard and Wanyan Zonghan both felt that the iron ducks they were ambushing behind were cavalry and would kill the pursuing team of the Protecting Army at the critical moment, catching them off guard, but they did not understand that the Protecting Army had no intention of catching up.

Seeing that the strategy failed and more than 1000 cavalrymen were lost, Brother Richard was a little discouraged, but he could only make a new plan. He organized his two thousand iron ducks and prepared to penetrate the enemy's main formation from the side.

It's just that the terrain in front of us is really not suitable.

The Xiangqing Army was basically built on a plain, and the terrain in the north and south was somewhat undulating. Although the Xixia people had tried their best to build their castles in dangerous places, there was still a large plain in front of them.

The cavalry rushed up from here, and the terrain could not provide them with any cover.

After thinking for a long time, Brother Richard and Wanyan Zonghan discussed dividing their troops again.

Brother Richard led an iron duck of more than 1000 people as the charging team, while Wanyan Zonghan on the side once again went around to the flanks to ensure that the charge would form a front-to-back attack situation at least, so as not to let the protecting army move in the same direction again. Knocked them back.

Wanyan Zonghan set off with his army without saying a word. He also knew that he and Brother Richard were tied to the same boat. If Brother Richard could not defeat him, he would not survive.
