Chapter 114: The drums of war beat again
On August 22, before dusk, the 400 vanguard troops led by Sudie were blocked by the new army in Tianshu City. Finally, in front of the canyon mountain road in front of Jingxing Pass, the retreat route was cut off and the entire army was completely destroyed.
In this battle, the new army in Tianshu City first showed its power by crossbow archers, then by musketeers, and finally, the heavy armored swords and axe soldiers attacked the finale, achieving the first field victory since the founding of the new army.
This complete victory of annihilated the enemy laid the foundation for the new army in Tianshu City, greatly inspiring the new army's fighting spirit and improving self-confidence. It also broke the myth of invincible field battles since the Jin army invaded the south, and created the first success.
An example of a battle to completely wipe out the Jin army in an integral manner.
Several years later, influenced by the powerful combat power of heavy armored swords and axe soldiers in this battle, Song general Han Shizhong first created the famous "Beiwei Army". Historical records: "Beiwei people are blocked by a long handle of a giant axe.
.Cut his chest from the top, and his horse's feet from the bottom. If he encounters a hundred grams, his people and horses will be killed." At that time, people said that his power is comparable to that of the Modao Formation in the Tang Dynasty. The origin of all this was this step outside Jingxing Pass that day
The cavalry encounter!
When Di Lie led his army to arrive, the fierce battle had just ended, and the soldiers of the infantry battalion were cleaning the battlefield and collecting spoils.
Sitting around a large rock by the mountain road, Di Lie frowned and listened to the battle report summarized by He Yuanqing, Zhang Li, Shi Zhi and the three commanders, and finally glanced across the faces of the three commanders and said, "For this
In the battle, what do you have any experience?"
The three of them looked at each other, and Zhang Li said first: "The tactical connection of the crossbow soldiers is a problem. The last general is responsible for training in this area. This is because the last general is dereliction of duty, so the army is responsible for punishment."
Di Lie nodded: "This is indeed your responsibility. Fortunately, the enemy is bigger than the mistakes you make... But there may not be such good luck next time. Your crossbowman needs to be more tempered. This time it did not cause any more.
Are you convinced if your losses are counted as merits and demerits?"
Zhang Li knocked his chest as a ritual and said in a stern manner: "I will convince you orally."
Shi Zhihe said: "The last general will command in front of the country and fail to adjust the deployment in time. He should also be punished."
Di Lie pointed his finger at the two of them and stroked them: "You both punished the same thing, and the merits and demerits were offset."
Finally, He Wuqing scratched his scalp and said, "If the crossbowmen have no losses, it is due to their merits and demerits. Then the heavy infantry I command can be..."
Di Lie waved his hand and said, "This is different. There is no way to kill the enemy without hurting yourself? As long as the tactics you use are fine. In the end, you will win again and the degree of casualties is acceptable, you will have no merit.
...But, although you fought well in this battle, almost all the hard bones were chewed by heavy infantrymen, but there was still some lack of them - you owned the big oars, so you didn't make the cabinet horses - or you didn't have time to make them
, and even in the first wave of the enemy's attack, the first row of heavy infantry was damaged. The largest casualty rate in this battle happened here... Yes. How is our loss?"
Zhang Li replied: "Three dead and nine injured, six of them were seriously injured. Fortunately, I, Tianshu City, have many national players and many medicinal materials. I believe that I can be treated."
He Yuanqing looked ashamed: "We didn't think about it. I didn't expect that the enemy really dared to use light cavalry to rush and step..."
Di Lie interrupted: "A battle. The more you think about it, the more you are, the greater your chances of winning. The "more you calculate, more win" in the military strategy is the truth. The gains and losses of this battle must be compiled into a book.
Distribute the entire army as a teaching material.”
The few military staff behind Di Lie were secretly shocked: Killing 400 enemies, half of which were real Jin troops. They even wiped out the enemy troops in an integrated system, and they lost more than ten people. Such a record would be in the previous dynasty (
The Song Dynasty, that was a great victory. I was afraid that the officials would summon the emperor’s orders and reward the purple goldfish bag (a gift of extremely high honor, divided into six poles. The first level is called "Swords and Shoes to the Hall"
When Cao Cao was the King of Wei, he took this title. The "Purple Gold Fish Bag" was the fifth level). He just looked at the appearance of the military leader, but he was not very satisfied. Regardless of his victory, he would first discuss mistakes. Such military governance
Attitude is rare. However, isn’t this the case for famous generals in history?
Di Lie is completely different from the cold weapon warriors who led a group of remnants and brave soldiers when attacking Guxinzhai that day, but was suppressed by Guxin forty or fifty cavalry. For several months in Taihang, he has been practicing troops during the day.
Studying and discussing military tactics at night has gradually made him familiar with the cold weapon tactics of this era from learning and finally mastering them.
What Di Lieque is actually not a study of military tactics. He has been to a military academy after all. How could he not read the military tactics and military works of ancient and modern times? What he really lacks is the arrangement of ancient troops.
Offensive and defensive equipment, marching and camping, identifying the banner, the application of various tactics of various tactics, etc., are common sense in ancient military. Once you understand these things, combined with the military ideas learned in the military academy,
In addition, he has a large number of military war examples in his heart, both ancient and modern times, and he has quickly grown into a qualified military commander. With time, after many wars, he has the potential to become an excellent general.
In fact, Di Lie possesses military knowledge and tactics and examples of warfare far exceeding the so-called famous generals of the same era. Not to mention anything else, let’s compare the “Four Generals of the Southern Song Dynasty” of the most representative era: Four Generals are among them.
The most dazzling general Yue Fei was just a young man in his twenties, more brave than wisdom, and he is now learning military tactics from Zong Ze. Before that, this person said, "The magic of using (military tactics) is true.
The powerful man of the eternal truth of "One Heart" has never read military books seriously, let alone know any war examples.
The second famous general Han Shizhong, who is mixed with the title of "Han Powu", can tell from this nickname that this person was a character when he was young, and he is definitely a muscle-playing master. This person has only three times in his life and is the most promising example: First,
Capturing Fang La alive depends on courage and courage. Second, the battle of Huang Tiandang, which was promoted by storytelling. In practice, it was a battle of beginning and ending that was first and then defeated. The greatest significance of this battle is that although it failed in tactical terms,
But strategically, it won - the Jin army did not dare to easily run to the river area to play with the southerners. The third is the Battle of Dayi Town in the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), and the Song army did that battle.
One rare victory was a great victory for beheading hundreds of times. However, that's all. There is no doubt that Han Shizhong can be called a general, but he is definitely not a famous general.
As for the remaining two guys who are just making up for the numbers: Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi. One is a robber, and the other is a general, but he doesn't know the big words; the other is eventually degenerated from a brave general and becomes a treacherous person, kneeling in front of Yuewang Temple for generations; the other is a man of great power; the other is a man of great power;
Forgot the hatred and shame of both father and brother died at the hands of Jin soldiers, and became a famous general suffering from "Qizhao" and wherever there is a Jin army, you can see his figure fleeing in the wind... In this way, the two people were placed in the "Four Generals of Zhongxing"
In the first two, it is completely a slander for the first two.
Compared with the above four, Di Lie has the potential to be a famous general?
"Report to the army leader, there is still a living person here!" Several soldiers escorted a new army soldier covered in blood. Judging from the walking posture of this man, he should have been injured. The blood on his body was probably a horse.
Blood or other people's body...
The captive came over dejectedly. Before the escorted soldiers shouted, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Good king, please spare my life! The villain was also forced by those golden dogs, not intentionally trying to provoke the king... Everyone
They are all Han people, and they can't write two Chinese characters in a single stroke... There are eighty mothers on the villain..."
"Don't lose your mother! Stop talking!" Di Lie couldn't help but swear. In this era, this line of "Tianjin Oil" may be fresh, but who from later generations doesn't hear the calluses coming from ears?
The captive was so scared that he almost became incontinent by the protruding throat. He kept kowtowing. The other end was so strong that he screamed, and a blood mark...
"Okay, honestly report your name and military position, and then consider how to deal with you." Di Lie was a little impatient. It was almost dark and there was still a lot of work to do. How could I have the time to do one with one
The captives were sluggish.
The captive raised his head, unable to tell whether it was snot or tears on his face, and whimpered: "The villain is called Wang Ju, is it... it is the Mouke of this new affiliated army, uh, it is Baihu..."
"Are you the chief general of this new affiliated army?" Di Lie and the three battalion commanders and deputy envoys were all surprised.
"Yes, yes... The villain was originally the guard of Luancheng County. This position of tricks was made by Jin Gouzi, and the villain was forced to do so..." I don't know if this is unlucky or
The lucky guy is Wang Ju, the new affiliated army. He was also forced to rush with his subordinates. But he has two favorable conditions. One is that he knows a little riding, so he doesn't need to be fixed on the horse.
On his back; secondly, he is the leader of the new affiliated army, so he can naturally hide in the safest inner ring of the rushing cavalry. With these two favorable conditions, Wang Ju can naturally end up. When he really can't get over it, he can rely on his hips
The opportunity to get off the horse was frightened by the gunshots, and rolled down from the horse's back to pretend to be dead.
Of course, if you fall like this, you will naturally lose your skin and blood, sprain your hands and feet, but compared to those new army brothers who are fuzzy and have a shape that even their mother cannot recognize, Wang Ju is really lucky. Of course, if Tianshu City is new, it is very difficult to see.
If the military soldiers didn't have time to clean the battlefield, Wang Ju would be even more lucky. Unfortunately, people's good luck would always be used up.
Di Lie's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something: "In this way, are you all four hundred people pulled out of Luancheng?"
Wang Ju was snot and tears: "Who said no? I pity my two hundred brothers! I was pushed down from the fire pit by Diesu, the golden dog!"
Di Lie then asked again: "So how many people are there in Luancheng now?"
Wang Ju said honestly: "Three hundred! Only three hundred brothers from the New Army..."
He Yuanqing suddenly jumped up and put the knife on Wang Qiao's neck, with a stern expression: "To be honest! Believe it or not, I will slash you with one knife!"
Wang Ju urinated, he really urinated, his whole body trembled, his face was blue and his lips were white, and he was almost cursing: "Hero, hero, king... Every word the villain said is true, but there is half a false statement, everyone
The king can chop up the small ones to feed the dogs!”
"Very good, commander Yang, who was directly under the cavalry battalion, came over."
The direct cavalry battalion was already nearby to guard the police, and the battalion commander Yang Zhechong naturally arrived soon. As soon as Di Lie said the situation, Yang Zhechong was also very active and blurted out: "Luancheng iron material!"
Di Lie nodded and smiled: "Now Luancheng has empty troops, and there is another 'old horse who knows the way' leading the way. If it is done well, it is very likely that the city gate will be opened... You know what to do later."
Yang Zhechong laughed loudly: "There is no ignorance! The military leader really takes care of our direct cavalry battalion. Other brother battalions try to get tough, but let us get rich easily! Hahaha! Wang Ju, I'm ugly.
Speaking of the front, if Luancheng's troops do not attach to what you said, or if you can't open the city gate, I'm too lazy to bring you back. I will chop you up like this under Luancheng City...
There are so many wild dogs outside in the year and month, I believe they will be as you wish..."
Wang Ju wiped a cold sweat and said repeatedly that he didn't dare.
He Yuanqing, Zhang Li, Shi Zhihe and others looked at each other and laughed. They all knew that Yang Zhe Chong said it easily, but the risk of taking the sucking of the fire was definitely not small. If one of them was not done properly, it alarmed the nearby Jin army in Zhending City
.Not mentioning taking a fuck at that time, you might get yourself in too.
However, this risk is definitely worth a fight, it is a million pounds of fine iron!
Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned, and the ones who harvested the most were weapons and armor, and more than ten still-pretty war horses. Of course, dead horses cannot be wasted. At least, the whole army's dinner was settled tonight... According to the army
According to the law, 30% of the spoils were handed over, 70% of the soldiers from the third and fourth infantry battalions were handed over. This was the first batch of spoils that soldiers had harvested since Di Lie formulated the military rules, and the soldiers of the two battalions were all happy to smile.
There is no effort, so much gain! It seems that this war can really make a fortune... Before we knew it, the new soldiers of Tianshu City were already faintly aroused by the huge interests.
**, and this ** ignited the fighting spirit, boosted morale, and motivated blood... A strong army that was not afraid of fighting and even longed for fighting had quietly taken shape...
The soldiers were eager to fight, while the generals were eager to win.
Before the last ray of sunset disappeared, Di Lie concentrated the leaders of the battalions to announce the next battle plan: "In a real war, there are not many tricks, only strength. Therefore, we will have a dignified decisive battle tomorrow.
.The first, second, third and fourth infantry battalions directly set up formations and fight head-on with the enemy. The second cavalry battalion and the direct cavalry battalion (Yang Zhechong only led two of them to attack Luancheng because there were less than two
A hundred sets of Jin soldiers armored uniforms), set out overnight, bypassing the continuous peaks in the north, implementing a large detour in the battle, and completely cutting off the enemy's retreat. The detour of your 800 cavalry is the key to this battle, and only you can see what you sent
Only with the signal of success in surrounding us, our four infantry battalions will launch a real attack... Are there any problems? If there is any, it will be discussed; if there is no, it will be executed without any."
"The last general understands! Be sure to obey the order!" The generals agreed in unison.
Di Lie exhaled a long breath of bloody air, and his eyes filled with evil spirits turned to the direction of Baodu Village on the other end of the peaks, and even his tone of speaking had a fishy smell: "Is Wanyan Agu?
Very good, I will have a great gift you unexpectedly welcome you. Since you have come from the banks of the Yishui River, don’t think about leaving..." (To be continued...)
