I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 343 Unexpected Battle Situation
The East Route Army is kind and Zhejizu. They can be said to have grown up with the Xixia people. Their understanding of the Xixia people is not comparable to that of Zhao Xi, nor is it comparable to Guo Kui and Gao Zunyu of the West Route Army.

In Zhong Er's view, based on the story of the battle between the Xixia people and the Guochao, the real main battle line may not be Hao Shuichuan, but their interception of the Xixia people from the east and west will be the main battlefield.

Because Xixia people have always used the same tactics.

The main force of His Royal Highness is equipped with sufficient chariots, wheel guns, gunpowder ammunition, and nearly [-] muskets of the new army.

Such a battle in the wilderness is no different for Xixia cavalry and siege.

That is to say, the Xixia people will retreat quickly after one or two attacks, and then attract new troops to pursue them. When they feel that the pursuit is weak, the Xixia people will take advantage of the cavalry and turn around to attack their own side.

At this time, according to the foot strength of the Xixia cavalry, they should be in the area where the east and west intercepted.

Zhong Er sincerely admires His Highness the Prince's strategic deployment.

Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can make such a careful deployment.

In the entire country, no one can make this war so detailed.

From the perspective of military literacy, there are such talents.Whether it's Di Qing or Guo Kui, it's not that he can't think about it.But the only one who can achieve this level is His Royal Highness.

Not only the unfathomable strategy, but also the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince.

According to Chong'er's estimation, the earliest the Xixia people arrived at the area where the east and west volleys intercepted would be tomorrow, which is the second day after the start of the war.

After all, the Xixia people need to test the true strength of the defense in the middle.

In order to ensure no accidents, Zhong Er rushed to the battlefield last night after seeing Hao Shuichuan's advance signal fireworks.

He wanted the soldiers to wait for work to intercept.

In Zhong'er's view, their volley missions on the east and west routes were even heavier than the main battle.

He didn't think that the Xixia people would suffer much loss in the battle with the main force, and they would definitely not be able to reach the point of being defeated and fleeing.

He is cautious.

Guo Kui should be said to be the best defender in the Western Army.His temperament is also relatively conservative, even when Gao Zunyu attacked Gaolan some time ago, it was because Gao Zunyu was eager to make contributions and wanted to see the combat capabilities of the new army, so he reluctantly attacked Gaolan.

Because his temperament tends to be mature and stable, he arrived at the combat area earlier.

However, Guo Kui did not enter the battlefield early like Zhong Er did, and is still on the mountain.

He had the same idea as Zhong Er, and he also believed that the Xixia people would retreat tomorrow at the earliest.Therefore, he felt that if he entered the battlefield early, his traces would be exposed, which would cause the Xixia people to be vigilant and lose the opportunity to make a surprise attack.

After all, nearly 20 soldiers and horses from the Xixia people entered Qinzhou, not to mention the Han troops who caught raw troops and hit Linglang.

At this time, maybe from any random place, there will be hundreds or thousands of Xixia cavalry.

There is an advantage on the mountains, such terrain is not suitable for cavalry to fight, and they will not encounter Xixia cavalry.This is not because he is afraid of the Xixia people, Guo Kui is because he can successfully complete the interception task of the West Route Army.

The two generals have different temperaments and made different tactical arrangements.

I can't say who is right and who is wrong, who is good and who is bad.Even in Zhao Xi's evaluation, there is no way to distinguish the good from the bad. It's just that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"Commander Guo, the middle road has already entered the battlefield last night. According to the method of the seed, it must have entered the battlefield ahead of time. How can our West Route Army lag behind him?"

Gao Zunyu was a little anxious, especially Guo Kui's temper.

The east and west routes are both combat missions of interception, but sooner or later the attack will determine the degree of credit for the final annihilation of the Xixia people.

He was sure that the Eastern Route Army led by Zhong Er must have been deployed, and it was even possible to advance southward and merge directly with the Central Route to form an encirclement circle for the Xixia people.

His Highness the Crown Prince gave Dongxi and Lulu the right to make their own decisions. As far as Zizizheng's temperament is concerned, he definitely didn't just want to do something like volleying on the sidelines.

Therefore, he was very anxious. He was worried that the Eastern Route Army and the Central Route Army would merge, and that the West Route Army would only be defeated by the Xixia people in the end.

If I continue to wait like this, I'm afraid I won't even have leftovers to eat.

The main battlefield in the middle road must have already started fighting, but their West Route Army has not entered the battlefield yet, and they are still recuperating on the mountains...

This is not the first time Gao Zunyu has asked to advance.

If it weren't for the connection with the princess, if it wasn't for the deep background of the Gao family, Guo Kui would have wanted Gao Zunyu to go back to Huizhou directly.

A deputy, there are so many troubles, and there is no end to nagging!
"High command, our combat mission is to intercept. When the Xixia people are retreating, we will break up the retreating Xixia cavalry and complete the combat mission that the Xixia cavalry cannot turn around and kill the chasing troops in the middle. At the same time, it will reduce the burden on the lurking troops in the north."

"If we enter the battlefield early and encircle the Xixia people, once the Xixia people break out of the encirclement, we will become pursuers just like the pursuers in the middle."

"No matter how many chasing soldiers, infantry chasing cavalry, in the end they can't escape the fate of being turned and charged by Xixia cavalry when they are exhausted."

"High Commander, I understand the eagerness to kill the Western Xia thieves, but we should first ensure that His Highness the Crown Prince's strategic goal of intercepting the Xixia cavalry is completed, instead of fighting just to kill the thieves."

A few words back and forth, the explanation cannot be explained by this Gao Zunyu.

Speaking of it, Guo Kui should have a deep understanding of His Royal Highness's deployment.

"But……"

Gao Zunyu also wanted to try to persuade Guo Kui.

At this moment, a faint sound was suddenly heard, as if it came from the south along the canyon.

this tune...

"Report to the commander, this seems to be a little song sung by the new army in daily training..."

It seems that it is not an auditory hallucination, but heard everything.

"Scout, rush south to investigate the specific situation."

The area where the east and west intercepted was [-] to [-] miles away from the Haoshui River, which was also the limit distance for the infantry to chase the cavalry to exhaustion.

It is said that even if 10 people shouted, it would not spread very far.

However, this is a canyon. The mountains on both sides gather the shouts of the main battlefield in this canyon, and there are mountain beams of different widths, which form a canyon shape like a trumpet, which also allows the shouts of the main battlefield to spread. Farther away.

Although I couldn't really hear it clearly, I did hear it.

"That is……"

"Forget it, there's no need to investigate! Everyone is there, march east quickly, and arrive at the designated battlefield in three hours!"

There is really no need to investigate. At this time, we have seen signal fireworks lit from the main battlefield to the north.

Every two or three miles, three fireworks will explode in the sky...~ This is the signal for all combat troops to enter the battlefield.

Guo Kui couldn't think of it, could it be that the Xixia people retreated after only one confrontation?
Gao Zunyu is very proud...

At this time, I also saw the signal fireworks.

He also couldn't figure it out. Counting the time, the Xixia cavalry probably didn't even complete a decent charge, so they started to retreat?
