Kai Fu Han

Chapter 512

(The previous 482 chapters were the fifth major reorganization. The results of this book are too poor. I don’t want to contact the editor for revisions at the moment. I’m sorry everyone has the book.)
The eleventh day of the first lunar month.

The field army brought lunch to Si o'clock in advance, and at noon they had already formed a military formation outside the tent.

It can be seen that the Jin soldiers on the opposite side had all formed their military formations at Sishi, and then they were eating dry food with water on the spot.

People are like iron rice and steel. How can you win a war without having enough food?

The commanders-in-chief of both the enemy and our side knew this truth, so they did not engage in trouble before the agreed time.

This battle is right in front of the camp. There is a ready-made observation tower. It does not need to be the same as last time, and manpower is needed to support the observation pole.

Climbing high and looking into the distance, Liu Xinqi clearly saw that some of the Jin soldiers on the opposite side were not in a very good mental state.

There are about 5 Jin soldiers in this group. They should be the troops that were sent out to collect grain before. After the emergency recall, there was no time for proper rest and recuperation.

The sun has reached the middle of the sky, and the appointed time has arrived.

The armies of both sides did not move, and wanted to wait for the enemy to make a move, and then see each other.

In the end, Jin Guoxian couldn't help it. Their strength was ten times that of the Xinghan Alliance army. It would be too demoralizing if they stood still.

The Jin Army's formation begins to advance!
At the front is a row of Han people. The people hold huge shields in their hands. The Jin army stands behind the people and follows them closely.

"It's this move again. Are the people from the Jin Kingdom exhausted?" Liu Xinhui said.

After Liu Xinhui caught up with the large army, he had already communicated with the generals who had fought before, and even went to see the carts that had been collected.

The Jin Kingdom in Qingchi County no longer used carts, but directly used Han people as shields.

"When they come in, are we going to fight?" Wu Jin was also very angry.

"Hit!" Liu Xinhui said firmly.

Liu Xinqi stood on the observation deck and did not hear these two conversations. He had already handed over the command to Liu Xinhui and would not interfere easily.

The two armies were close to one mile, and none of the field army's artillery fired.

Liu Xinqi saw that the catapult being pushed forward from the enemy's rear had stopped.

It is estimated that if we don't open fire, we will be bombarded by catapults.

boom!boom! …

The artillery opened fire, heavy artillery, Jingyan [-]nd-year artillery, and tiger squat artillery all opened fire.

The power is truly earth-shaking!
An artillery battalion has thirty artillery pieces (ten Jingyan 240nd-year artillery pieces and twenty tiger squatting artillery pieces).The two brigades have a total of eight infantry regiments and [-] artillery pieces, plus two heavy artillery battalions with twenty heavy artillery pieces.

260 large and small artillery pieces fired together.

This power stunned Liu Xinqi who was standing on the observation tower, not to mention Jin Bing.

After the first round of shelling, half of the trebuchets in the rear of the Jin Army were directly destroyed, which also destroyed the last trace of luck in the heart of the Jin Army commander.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon has a range of one mile, the Jingyan Second Year Artillery has a range of four miles, and the Jingyan Three Year Heavy Artillery has a range of ten miles.

Far, medium and near, with three different ranges, the entire Jin Army formation was directly "paralyzed"!
It's "paralysis"!
The two rows of Jin soldiers and civilian husbands walking in the front looked back after the shelling, and found that most of the comrades behind them were already lying on the ground, and they were so frightened that they stopped and did not dare to move on.

The Jin soldiers walking in the middle had not yet officially adjusted their mentality to the wartime state. The engineers were still operating the trebuchet with their heads covered, so they were directly bombarded. The surviving Jin soldiers looked at the Jin soldiers at the location where the shells exploded and were torn apart. His face was pierced by shrapnel, his arms and legs were broken, and he was stunned on the spot at a loss.

The Jin Army commander at the rear, who was strategizing and commanding thousands of troops, was also bombarded. Unprepared, the entire "command system" was destroyed and the commander's flag was blown up.

The entire Jin Army formation seemed to have pressed the pause button.boom!boom! …

The artillery of the Xinghan League would not stop firing. After the heavy artillery destroyed the commander's flag, they began to attack indiscriminately.

"Is there nothing we can do to command the rear in the face of an artillery attack?" Wu Jin was shocked to see so many artillery fire at the same time for the first time.

"Yes. It was rehearsed during the drill. If you dig trenches for the headquarters and hide it underground, you won't be afraid of shelling." Liu Xinhui replied: "And the birth of artillery will determine the need to hide the headquarters in future wars." Command is going to be very important.”

"Indeed." Wu Jin nodded in approval: "The Jin army in Yanshan knew how to hide their commander, but there is no reason why the Qingchi army wouldn't."

Although the Jin army in front was paused, it had not collapsed yet.

Liu Xinqi saw that the Jin army had no more clever tricks, so he walked down the observation tower and came to the frontline headquarters:

"Pay attention, I think the main force of the Jin army may want to escape."

"Why, the battle has just begun." Wu Jin was puzzled.

"It's over. Both the enemy and us know that the Jin army is just taking advantage of our kindness towards the Han people for the last time, betting that we will not attack the Han people who walk in front to block the guns, so that they can come close and fight later." Liu Xinqi explained.

"Yes. Obviously, they lost the bet." Liu Xinhui added.

Being arranged by Liu Xinqi as the commander-in-chief of this battle, Liu Xinhui was obviously better than Wu Jin. He knew: there is no mercy on the battlefield.

Mercy can only exist before or after a war.

To be kind to the enemy on the battlefield is to be cruel to yourself.

When those Han people pick up their shields and stand in front of the Jin soldiers, they are the enemy, whether they are active or passive.

"So, if the Jin Army's attempt fails, they may retreat with the main force and retain their strength." As a senior officer at the brigade commander level, Wu Jin can understand everything.

"That's right!"

...

The artillery continued to attack, and the first wave of attacks by the Jin Army was beaten back.After the defeated troops left the "Jingyan [-]nd Year Artillery Range", they were contained by the Jin soldiers in the rear.

The Jin army did not continue to send troops forward, and Liu Xinhui also stopped the heavy artillery battalion.

"Wu Jin, take your brigade and go around to the north of Qingchi. If the main force of the Jin army escapes from the north, you will block them. If they do not escape from the north, you will directly attack the flank of the Jin army." Liu Xinhui ordered.

"Yes!" Wu Jin saluted with a military salute, turned around and left the headquarters.

The children of the Liu family have been literate since childhood. Whether they are in the army or in politics, they generally progress much faster than the "children from poor families" of this era.

The Xinzi generation is still in their twenties, but many of them have already entered the upper echelons of the Xinghan League.

"You want to annihilate the Jin army in Qingchi?" Liu Xinqi asked.

The Jin army had too many people. Qingchi's field army, including the seventh brigade, numbered more than 3. It was impossible to wipe out the more than 20 Jin army.

Liu Xinqi sent someone last night to notify Zhao Yinghao to block the road in the west, just to drive the remnants of the Jin army north, and then attack all the way until Liu Zhijie's sixth brigade ended in northern Qingzhou.

"I think it's okay. The Jin army has no intention of resisting anymore." Liu Xinhui replied.

"Where did you see it?" Liu Xinqi asked.
