Chapter 253 0250 [Tactics to Tire the Enemy]

The sunset is westward.

Night gradually enveloped the sky.

In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, and it gets dark very quickly.

There are hundreds of cauldrons filled with mist.

"Reporting to the county magistrate, the general has sent his soldiers to explore the upper and lower reaches of the river. The ice layer is about three feet thick, and the army can pass safely."

"In addition, a large number of forts were built within ten miles of the Western Army's stronghold."

Castle?

Han Zhen couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. Yang Weizhong seemed to be forced to have no choice but to bring over the fortress tactics from the northwest.

These fortresses are like nails stuck in the surrounding area.

Although the number of people in the stronghold was small, if they were ignored, it would be like small thorns pricking Han Zhen's body. Although it would not be fatal, it would be unbearably painful.

If it were an ordinary opponent, it would take at least thousands of lives to take down these strongholds.

But for Han Zhen, it was just a matter of hundreds of firearms.

After dinner, all the soldiers began their final preparations before the battle. They sat around the campfire, wiping their swords and guns, and checking their armor.

In the main tent, Han Zhen and a group of generals gathered in front of a sand table.

Nie Dong looked solemn and said: "The scouts have detected that the Western Army has dug a large number of trenches across the opposite bank. Coupled with the horse resistance, the heavy cavalry may not be able to perform well."

Wei Da nodded in agreement and said: "The first three times were all calculated mentally and unintentionally, so it was natural and easy. Now that the firearms and cavalry have been exposed, Yang Weizhong will definitely be prepared and targeted. The two armies set up their battle formations and fought openly. Tomorrow will be A tough battle!”

Hearing the rejection of horses and trenches, Liu Qi chuckled: "Then remove the armor and switch to the light cavalry style of play. 3000 men in light armor will attack and pull on the left and right wings, and the remaining [-] heavy cavalry will be on standby. Normally Time to charge.”

The remaining three thousand Qingqi of the Western Army were taken to Yucheng by Liang Fangping.

As a result, the Western Army will become passive.

Even if supplemented by trenches and horse resistance, the Western Army would have to dedicate at least 1 troops to deal with the cavalry attack.

But in this case, the strength on the frontal battlefield will be weakened.

You know, on the battlefield, only cavalry can deal with cavalry. If one side does not have cavalry, the chance of winning will be very low.

A head-on battle between the two armies will not end in a day or two. It is normal for the fight to last ten and a half days.

I have cavalry, but you don't, so I can harass your logistics and supplies troops without restraint.

Once the food and grass are cut off, it will be self-defeating without attacking.

In addition, cavalry can also be dispatched to use fatigue tactics at night.

It only takes two or three days for the soldiers who cannot bear the harassment to collapse on their own.

During the Second Northern Expedition the year before last, Yelu Dashi used one move to cause the 50 Song army camp to collapse.

The reason why Yue Fei was able to defeat the Jin army many times was not only the strong combat power of the Yue family army, but more importantly, Yue Fei had an elite light cavalry of thousands of people in his hands, which could entangle the Jin people's kidnap horses.

There is no cavalry involved. If you want to defeat the cavalry purely by relying on infantry, you must either rely on cities, forts, or in an environment with dense mountains or water networks, otherwise the chance is slim.

"Luojing!"

Han Zhen suddenly spoke.

"The end is here!"

Luo Jing was shocked and quickly answered with cupped fists.

Han Zhen ordered: "Take my handwriting and go to the munitions office to get [-] firearms. We will attack in the middle of the night. We must uproot all the Western Army's strongholds before dawn!"

This kind of fortress is perfectly restrained by firearms.

A firearm can easily destroy a fortress.

Luo Jing shouted: "The last general takes orders!"

After saying that, he took the order and quickly walked out of the main tent.

Going straight to the military supplies department, Luo Jing found Shi Wenhui, handed over the handwriting and said: "Shi joins the army, I'm here to get two hundred firearms."

Firearms are a top priority, so Han Zhen has extremely strict control over firearms, even more so than the God Arm Crossbow.

No one can do anything without permission.

Even if the oracle is taken away, how much was taken, how it was distributed, how much was used in the battle, and how much was leftover must be strictly recorded in the book.

If you hide it secretly, you will kill three clans!

After carefully checking the handwriting of the oracle and touching the slightly raised serial number on the edge with his fingertips, Shi Wenhui took out his seal, stamped it on it, and ordered: "Take two hundred firearms to Camp Commander Luo! "

"Yes!"

The clerk bowed and responded.

While talking, Shi Wenhui opened an account book and started recording.

Not long after, several secretaries came back carrying four large wooden boxes.

Shi Wenhui handed over the brush in his hand and said with a chuckle: "Commander Luo, just sign and draw it!"

"it is good!"

Luo Jing took the brush and wrote his name crookedly, then dipped his thumb in the ink pad and pressed it under the name.

If firearms are leaked in the future, Han Zhen can directly hold him accountable based on the cashier's records.

Therefore, Luo Jing, as the person directly responsible, will definitely be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious for the sake of his own life and future.

After going through the entire process, he then ordered the soldiers of the scout camp to move the wooden boxes away.

……

"Hah!"

Under the cover of night, in a fort, there were sounds of breathing.

cold!
It was biting cold, and the cold air penetrated directly into the body along the gaps in the clothes and armor.

The fortress is small, and for the purpose of concealment at night, it is impossible to light a bonfire.

Therefore, the soldiers could only resist.

Li Si was very sleepy, but couldn't sleep at all. It was too cold.

He could no longer feel the presence of his feet, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. He only hoped that the replacement soldiers would arrive soon.

snort~
Suddenly, a faint sound came into my ears.This voice was very strange. He felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

firearm!

This is what sounds like when military firearms are ignited.

Li Si was startled and immediately picked up the divine arm crossbow on his waist.

At this moment, a flickering spark was thrown in from the narrow window.

boom!
A deafening loud noise rang in my ears like thunder.

Li Si felt that he was hit by a Mercedes-Benz chariot. He flew backwards and hit the earth wall hard, losing his life.

Boom boom boom!
In the dark night, loud noises sounded from time to time.

In the Western Army camp, Zhang Jun jumped out of bed, quickly put on his armor, and rushed out of the tent.

Outside the military camp, there were many people. Some soldiers didn't even have time to put on their armor and rushed out of the tent barefoot, looking panicked.

"What's the matter?"

"The Qingzhou Army is coming!"

In the midst of the chaos, a burst of shouts suddenly sounded: "Quiet! The rebels have not come. Everyone returns to the military tents. Otherwise, military law will be dealt with!"

Han Shizhong stood among the crowd with a gloomy face.

This warning instantly calmed down the panicked soldiers.

After being stunned for a moment, they all returned to their respective military tents.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Han Shizhong hadn't handled it in time, a camp roar would have probably occurred.

Camp roar!

When any commander hears these two words, his expression will change drastically, as if he is facing a powerful enemy.

Once a camp roar occurs, it will quickly sweep through the entire military camp like a huge wave, and no one will be spared.

After the soldiers dispersed, Han Shizhong looked at Zhang Jun and said, "General Zhang, I invite you to go to the White Tiger Hall to discuss matters!"

"I'm going now!"

Zhang Jun nodded and walked towards the main tent.

Seeing the two people walking in, Yang Weizhong asked, "Have the soldiers been comforted?"

Han Shizhong replied: "We have asked them to go back to their camps. There should be no more camp roars."

Battalion roar mainly refers to continuous days of fighting, and the soldiers' spirits are always in a state of tension. At this time, if they are suddenly stimulated by external stimuli, the tight string may break, leading to rage and madness.

Generally speaking, camp howls mainly occur at night.

In the darkness of the night, coupled with the sudden awakening from dreams, under multiple pressures, it is easier to lose control than during the day.

Han Shizhong's voice just now made the soldiers sober up.

"Ok!"

Yang Weizhong tilted his head slightly, turned his head and said, "General Zhang, the series of loud noises just now were the sound of firearms exploding?"

He and Han Shizhong had only heard about the power of firearms and had never seen it with their own eyes.

But Zhang Jun has experienced it personally and naturally understands it clearly.

"That's right!"

Recalling the fiasco that day, Zhang Jun's eyes flashed with anger.

Han Shizhong asked in confusion: "Is the Qingzhou Army attacking the stronghold?"

"Probably. If firearms are used, I'm afraid those strongholds won't be able to be saved."

Yang Weizhong looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "This Han Zhen is very calm in using his troops, and he advances step by step without giving the slightest chance."

Zhang Jun echoed: "This person can defeat us one after another. This person should not be underestimated."

"Clang clang clang!"

While the two were talking, the sound of gongs suddenly sounded in the military camp.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Rumble!
The sound of galloping war horses came faintly from the distance.

Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun's expressions changed one after another.

Yang Weizhong said in a calm tone: "There are trenches outside the military stronghold, and there are many defensive horses. The heavy armored cavalry cannot rush in. This is the Qingzhou Army's technique to tire out the enemy!"

"I will go and have a look at the end."

After Han Zhen finished speaking, he walked out of the main tent.

The soldiers who had just been awakened and returned to the tent to lie down had not had time to close their eyes before they hurriedly got up, put on their armor, picked up their weapons and rushed out of the tent.

However, as soon as he left the military tent, he heard Han Shizhong loudly say: "Don't panic, this is a strategy to counter the traitors and tire out the enemy. You officers and men should ignore it and continue sleeping."

Hearing this, the Western Army soldiers had no choice but to return to their tents again.

Swish!
A dense round of rockets was launched.

The ignited arrows flew towards the military camp like meteors.

Yang Weizhong set up horse-proofing and trenches outside the military camp to prevent the cavalry from approaching the military camp. However, most of the arrows thrown by the three-stone hard bow still fell on the stronghold wall, igniting the dry wood on the stronghold wall, and the Western soldiers There was a rush.

After a shower of arrows, Huang Kai did not stop and immediately led his Qingqi to retreat.

Not long after, it attacked again, throwing a second wave of arrows.

Although they knew it was a tactic to weaken the enemy, the Western Army had no way to deal with it and could only defend passively.

Every half an hour, the Qingzhou Army's cavalry would launch an attack.

Even though the soldiers of the Western Army knew it well, they still couldn't help but panic when they heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves, and they couldn't sleep anymore.

Just like that, half asleep and half awake, in a daze, the sky quietly became brighter without realizing it.

The beating of drums sounded, and the Western soldiers yawned and walked out of the camp listlessly.

Seeing this scene, a look of helplessness flashed in Yang Weizhong's eyes.

The scouts were no match, and the only cavalry was taken away, so there was nothing he could do.
