I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 339

Before the pre-war meeting, both Zhong Er and Guo Kui talked to him, and they believed that the Western Army should be allowed to fight Shuichuan... After all, the Western Army knows the Xixia cavalry better.

Zhao Xi disagreed.The huge disparity in armaments is the difference in strength. In the face of great strength, whether you are familiar with it cannot determine the victory or defeat of a war.

Zhao Xi is not stupid, he will not force the new army to play the main force just to show off the new army, whether it is the new army or the western army, it makes no difference to him, he still knows his role.

But Zhao Xi firmly believed that having chariots and wheel cannons would be more effective against the Xixia people than the flesh and blood of the Western Army.

Some scenes, before you see them, no matter how you imagine them, it is hard to compare them with what you see with your own eyes.Just like now...

In the deployment of the entire battle situation, Zhao Xi had tried his best to disperse and contain the Xixia cavalry, but there were still [-] to [-] Xixia cavalry who reached Haoshuichuan.

He once imagined what it would be like to have [-] or [-] cavalry, but when he really saw it, he realized that it was unimaginable.

Zhao Xi is considered knowledgeable, at least he has a thousand years more knowledge than people of this era, but when he heard the shocking rumbling sound, he couldn't help but tremble... His heart trembled.

To be honest, he wasn't sure that he would have the guts to face such a situation directly.

At this time, Zhao Xi was standing on a mountain on the east side of Haoshui River, which was too far away to see clearly, but the entire Haoshui River, within a radius of nearly ten miles, was completely filled by Xixia people.

When the horses were galloping, the dust kicked up covered the entire area like a big storm, and it was impossible to see the Xixia people galloping.But the sound of horseshoes pouring into your ears, like neat or messy, rumbling endlessly, makes you feel oppressed involuntarily.

This is cavalry...

At this time, Zhao Xi seemed to understand the defeats of the Kingdom over the years, and also why Zhong Er and Guo Kui let the Western Army be the main force... After all, the Western Army still has cavalry, while the new army is pure infantry.

This kind of powerful momentum really does not mean that you can abandon it if you have firm beliefs. It is a fact and cannot be controlled by thoughts. It exists and cannot be determined by beliefs.

The dust settled, and when the Xixia cavalry stopped, the floating dust fell as the horses stopped.

At this time, Zhao Xi also saw the Xixia people.

The exact number cannot be determined, and it is estimated that even the Xixia people themselves cannot be sure.However, looking down from the mountain where Zhao Xi is now, the Xixia cavalry scattered in blocks are arranged in an orderly manner in the basin of Haoshuichuan.

At this time, Zhao Xi was relieved from the shock of the sound of horseshoes, and at this moment, he felt that it was just the same...

At this time, it was approaching dusk, and it was estimated that the Xixia people were about to set up camp.

The encirclement circles Zhao Xi arranged were all on the mountains... Infantry versus cavalry, even if there were chariots and wheel guns, Zhao Xi did not have the arrogance to let the soldiers contact the Xixia cavalry as soon as possible.

What he has to do is: use a large number of chariots and wheel guns to connect them, and nearly [-] elite soldiers will slowly push forward, compressing towards Haoshuichuan, and suppressing the Xixia people's space in an encircling situation, so as to win in terms of momentum .

This is also the reason for the lack of one in three circles and the lack of the north... Deploying in advance, it is impossible to block the way of the Xixia people.

Di Qing has already dressed neatly. Although His Royal Highness mainly uses firearms, in Di Qing's view... there must be a real confrontation in the end.

Whether it is a wheel gun or a gunpowder launcher, it is impossible to achieve the kind of indiscriminate full-coverage bombing that His Royal Highness said.

With a radius of more than ten miles, the firing distance of the wheel cannon and gunpowder launcher cannot even penetrate the thickness of a single charge of the Xixia people, and it is impossible to achieve the so-called encirclement and annihilation of His Royal Highness.All that can be done is to block the charge of the Xixia cavalry and switch the offensive and defensive sides.

Therefore, General Di Qing, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the front line, will be a cavalry general, leading the tens of thousands of elite cavalry assembled by the entire Western Army, and going straight into the chaotic camp of the Xixia people.

Di Qing had been looking forward to this battle for many years.

Di Qing has always served in the Western Army, but he was very lucky. In the previous few battles between Guochao and Xia, his team was not the main front, and he missed all of them.

Although they have fought against the Xixia people many times, there has never been such a large-scale battle like this one.

To be honest, Di Qing thought that he could not be able to encircle 30 to [-] Xixia cavalry in Haoshuichuan, and [-] to [-] Xixia cavalry in the entire Qinzhou territory.

It's not that he's not handsome, but that he's really ashamed of being inferior to His Highness the Crown Prince's strategy.

Whether it is possible to form a large battlefield with a radius of hundreds of miles, or to create a situation where more is fought and less is fought in every small battle, this requires a high level of strategic military literacy.

Di Qing was given the title of a famous general in the Western Army, and even in the entire country, but after fully understanding the grand plan of His Highness the Crown Prince, he was also convinced.

This is also the reason why Zhong Er, Guo Kui, and even the civil and military officials of the entire frontline headquarters obeyed without any objection... No one has such a strategic planning thinking.

The first firework was set off from the camp where Zhao Xi was. The direction of the firework was to the south. It is estimated that there was no light at the place where the Xixia camped...it was too far away.

Immediately afterwards, a bright light rose into the sky three miles south of the frontline headquarters...

The signal fireworks are a military order signal for all combat soldiers on the main battlefield to march towards the center and arrive at the second designated location at [-] o'clock on the second day.

To be honest, Zhao Xi really felt troublesome, but if they followed the previous communication method, when they all advanced to the Xixia people's one mile position, the last team might not receive the military order.

It is undeniable that if you want to form a large encirclement circle with a radius of more than ten or even tens of miles, the distance between the strongholds that the soldiers and horses arrive in advance should be at least a hundred miles from the beginning to the end.

To make all combat soldiers act in unison, the best communication method is only this kind of fireworks.

Standing on the mountain, Zhao Xi wanted to follow the route of the fireworks... Unfortunately, he could only see the light of the second firework, and after that, he couldn't even see a trace of light.

Don't worry, at least Xixia people can't see their own message.

"Your Highness, in another quarter of an hour, the signal will be transmitted to the last stronghold..."

The transmission time of the signal fireworks has been verified many times.

In other words, all combat soldiers will calculate the departure time of the team according to their position.

This battle is very important to Zhao Xi and to the affairs of the country. There is no room for carelessness. Zhao Xi and the entire frontline headquarters have considered all factors that can be considered.

Even if the connection fails to receive fireworks signals, or special weather conditions, there are also contingency plans.

Fortunately, the weather is fine tonight.
