Kai Fu Han

Chapter 519 Bohai Rim Strategy 2
"Wanyan Zongfu II's 10,000+ army couldn't defeat us. Where did Wanyan Zonghan get his confidence?"

Liu Xinhui pointed at the defenders on the Yongqing city wall and said.

At midnight on February [-], the army arrived at the south of Yongqing County. The city walls were filled with defenders, and there were a large number of cavalry arrayed on both sides of the city.

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Wanyan Zonghan's achievements are too great. He must think that Wanyan Zongfu was defeated by our Xinghan League one after another because of his incompetence, not because our Xinghan League has sharp guns and elite soldiers. "Liu Zhijie said.

"It makes sense." Zhao Yinghao answered.

"Shall we attack the city directly?" Wu Jin asked Liu Xinqi.

"Wait, let's wait for the West Route Army to come over, and then we will wipe out all the main forces of the Kingdom of Jin in one fell swoop." Liu Xinqi replied.

If the Central Army in the three cities is directly eliminated, the West Route Army may turn in when the situation is bad. From now on, the territory of the Xinghan League will have to guard against this elite cavalry at all times.

You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days.The cavalry relies on its high mobility, which will inevitably make the Xinghan Alliance difficult to cope with.

"Set up camp!"

The four brigades set up camps in the southeast, northwest, and the garrison camp was set up in the middle of the four field brigade camps.

During the whole process of setting up camp, Wanyan Zonghan did not send any cavalry to harass them. He probably had the same intention of "delaying the situation".

In the next ten days, the two armies had a tacit agreement not to interfere with each other. Only scouts and spies tested each other. The view slowly penetrates towards the north of the Three Cities.

With the Golden Eagle communication, the marching process of the West Route Army has been controlled by the Xinghan League. What makes Liu Xinqi more gratified is that the Jin Army did not implement the strategy of dividing its troops. The West Route Army resolutely moved eastward towards Yongqing. Come.

……

In the Liaodong Peninsula east of the Bohai Sea, the rebel army officially moved northward on February [-]st.

Since the last time the Huosu Guanlu Road was raided by the rebels, the Jin Army has never sent the main army there. Only some Jin officials have recruited local militia to maintain public order.

The movement of the rebel army to the north caused these Jin officials to flee like frightened birds. Fuzhou City, Jian'an City and Tangchi City on the Hesu Pipeline looked at the wind and fell.

The rebel army captured the city in the front, followed by the garrison and officials mobilized from Denglai, reorganizing along the way, with the attitude of not intending to leave once they came.

The rebel army's march north did not go unnoticed by the Jin army. The [-] Jin army located in Liaoyang Prefecture once again went south and guarded Chengzhou City tightly.

The rebels heading north this time were different from the last time. They had one Xinghan Type [-] flintlock gun and sixty artillery pieces.

Twenty Jingyan [-]nd-year-old artillery put up a posture, pouring artillery shells at the Chengzhou city wall in a leisurely manner. Under the guidance of the field army artillery, the shooting skills of the rebel artillery became more and more proficient with actual combat, and their shooting accuracy also improved. Gradually improve.

The Jin army in Chengzhou organized several battles. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed towards the rebel army, and then retreated with heavy losses under the fire of the tiger squat cannon and musket array.

After two exchanges, the Chengzhou Jinjun completely became a coward.

When the rebels shot, they arranged for the golden soldiers to hide, and the rebels rushed to the city, and then sent troops to defend.

Although the weapons and equipment of the rebel soldiers have been improved, their military quality is low, allowing the Jin soldiers to hold on with their numerical advantage.

Yu Jin and the other two were thinking about Liu Xinqi's mission: "Attack the Jin capital to the city, so that the Jin troops going to Beijing would not dare to go south to Zhongdu Road." Xinghan League can still have a good life.

"Let me lead a suicide squad. I will take the lead in charging personally. If you don't believe me, I won't be able to charge forward." Yang Jin was still more concerned about his future and took the initiative to challenge.

"Forget it, no one may be willing to join the death squads. It's not as good as before. In the past, everyone was always busy and their lives were cheap. Now that everyone has lived a peaceful life for a few years, most of them are afraid of death. If you can't recruit enough A death squad with too many people would be ugly,” Yu Jin suggested.

"It doesn't matter, we will definitely get enough by drawing lots." Yang Jin still insisted.In the army, military law is like a mountain and military orders are like iron. If you don't join voluntarily, you can only join voluntarily.

"I don't want you to take risks. Swords have no eyes. If something is lost and hurts you, better days are ahead. What a pity." Yu Jin persuaded again.

Since handing over power, Yu Jin has become more and more "Buddhist".

"I've made up my mind, please help me." Yang Jin looked at Yu Jin intently.

Yu Jin looked very embarrassed, the brothers who lived and died together still had such a strong fighting spirit, but he was discouraged because he lost a little profit.

Yang Jin led his troops into the battle this time, partly to achieve meritorious service, but most importantly, he wanted to stimulate Yu Jin and rekindle his fighting spirit.

Both of them knew this.

"Don't worry, I will definitely seize the opportunity you create." Yu Jin straightened his mind, cheered up and replied seriously.

"Brothers."

"Thank you!"

Next, Yang Jin went down to dismember and recruit a death squad. If he volunteered to join, he would be directly rewarded with ten taels of silver. If he died or became disabled, he would receive a pension. If he joined by drawing lots, the reward would be halved.

After all, the rebels had only a short period of comfort, and their bloody spirit was still there. In addition, the equipment was now very sophisticated, with thin steel armor that basically protected the whole body. The 500-person suicide squad was directly filled with volunteers.

"Brothers make me very proud. None of you have lost your blood. I am here to assure you that after today, as long as I, Yang Jin, still have a future, I will not let you down."

"Victory!" the soldiers shouted.

"Bring the wine!"

Five hundred and one pottery bowls were brought up, filled with wine, and distributed to each death squad soldier.

"Drink this bowl of wine and capture Chengzhou City!" Yang Jin shouted.

"Drink this bowl of wine and capture Chengzhou City!" All the soldiers shouted together.

Liu Xinqi, a staff officer assigned to the rebel army, came up while the death squad soldiers were sorting out their equipment.

"General, with the current armed forces of the rebels, it is still very easy to capture Chengzhou City. Do you want to listen to our suggestions?"

"But it doesn't matter."

Liu Xinqi did not equip the rebels with grenades. Hand grenades consumed too much gunpowder. The existing grenades were concentrated in the hands of the four brigades heading north.

"Take part of the gunpowder from the cannon and make it into explosive packets. Our teaching regiment will send a few soldiers to support you. Throw the explosive packets up the city wall and capture Chengzhou City with ease." the staff suggested.

The teaching group is the general name for the "guiding officer group" assigned to the rebels by the Xinghan League. It includes senior officers from all systems, including professional artillery.

Making explosive charges is very simple for these professional artillerymen.

"good idea."
