Chapter 181 Login
At the first day of the lunar month, that is, the morning time of the sun and the moon are on one side of the earth, so there is the greatest tide-induced force, which will cause a "tide". At the fifteenth or sixteenth of the lunar month, the sun is the same as the fifteenth or sixteenth of the lunar month.
With the moon on both sides of the earth, the sun and the moon's tide force will also cause a "big tide" when the moon is in the upper and lower strings, that is, the eighth and twenty-third day of the lunar calendar, the sun's tide force and the moon
The tide-induced force cancels out part of each other, so a "small tide" occurs. Therefore, there is a saying in the agricultural proverb that "the tide rises on the first and fifteenth day of the day, and the beaches are everywhere on the eighth day of the day."
On October 16th, the landing fleet of the Song Dynasty naval army approached Yingzhou. The bright moonlight left shimmering on the constantly rising waves, but Zhao Qi was unwilling to appreciate it at this moment, and his heart was slid.
After all, this is a landing battle of tens of thousands of people, and it is at night. If there is a slight mistake, it will be a disaster!
A navy and marines had already landed on the shore to reconnaise the enemy's situation. As the Intelligence Department reported in advance, the Jin army did not expect that the Song army would land behind him on the sea route. As the only anti-logging measures of the Jin army, the shore patrolman was still staying
When they sleep in the house, they became unjust dead. The fishing village near the landing site was also quietly surrounded by the naval army landing troops. Everyone was warned not to go out, and those who violated the house will be killed without mercy.
When the time was approaching midnight, the tide began to rise, and the fleet was reorganized, and ten small boats of five hundred hu were opening up the route. The sailors kept sinking the lead into the water to measure the depth of the water, and then lowered the float lighted candles to guide the ship toward
On the shore, several 2,000-hu warships lined up a hundred steps away from the coast, aiming the muzzles at the coast and laying a cordon to prevent accidents.
Because the time of high tide will gradually fade away after the hour of Mao, they are not left to log in. The first one to land are three land combat brigades, except for one brigade who is responsible for opening the landing ground and serving as a warning.
The Second Brigade and the Fourth Brigade rushed to Yuguan immediately, and before the Jin army could find the capture of the pass, the horse and infantry army landed on the shore. The landing troops were reprinted and trained, but from time to time, the landing ships collided with each other. The personnel and equipment fell into the water.
A small accident occurred, although the losses caused were not large, it was also terrifying.
The giant boat that Zhao Qi was riding in was too deep to land, so he could only take a small boat to land. Fortunately, he was a military emperor and was agile. Otherwise, he would not dare to go up and down the swaying rope ladder to the small boat.
He looked at the lights on the sea and the large and small ships crossing the river like crucian carp, and listened to the sound of sailors and the loud sound of waves rushing the shore. He felt like he was eager to get ashore while sitting on the leaves. It made him even more
What I am anxious about is how the battle below will be launched and whether the enemy situation has changed.
The short distance of hundreds of steps made Zhao Qi feel that it was never too long. Because in the landing operations in previous lives, they would often only establish positions on the beach after paying a huge price. Countless people sprinkled blood on the beach. When formulating combat plans,
Zhao Qi's dreams are often the scenes of gunfire, soldiers crossing the beach, and the sea water is dyed red. But today he feels extremely lucky, and the scene in the dream has not appeared. Even during the whole process, there is no
An enemy appeared at the scene, and there was no fierce battle, and the loss was just an accident on his own side.
When Zhao Qiong stepped on the beach, it was already dawn, and most of the troops had already arrived ashore. Even the war horses were blindfolded and led by people to slowly land on the springboard. The engineers of each army had already begun to do so.
Cargo ships unload wood and tools. They have to set up trests from the beach to the sea to build a temporary dock to wait for the tide to rise again to unload heavy supplies such as cargo and artillery.
Under the escort of a group of soldiers, Zhao Jie hurriedly passed through the chaos and noisy beach and entered the temporary command post. This was a Great Wall pass near the sea, with only a few rows of broken barracks and several enemy buildings, as well as a high beacon tower.
But no one here except him knew that this pass that was almost submerged by weeds was Shanhai Pass, which later generations claimed to be the "No. 1 pass in the world".
At this moment, this majestic pass that has become the business card of the Great Wall is just a unknown name on the Great Wall called "Da Customs". It is just a Linhai Guard Pass affiliated to Yuguan and is not valued. Its function is to monitor the nomadic peoples outside the border.
When the tide is low, we sneaked into the Central Plains across the Great Wall defense line from the beach. Now, the Great Wall has first belonged to the Khitan for hundreds of years, and then occupied by the Jurchens. The Great Wall has lost its most fundamental role, and even Yuguan has declined.
What's more, this small pass!
Zhao Qi did not have time to think about the past and present. The important thing now is to quickly occupy Yu Pass, control the Lengkou, Jielingkou, Yiyuankou and other passes on the main roads outside the pass, block the enemy's retreat route, and complete the battle's detour.
At the same time, capture Pingzhou and establish a logistics supply base.
"Your Majesty, the first brigade of the Leopard, the second brigade has been assembled, ready for battle!" Zhao Qi just walked into the command post, and Zhao Lian hurried over to report.
"Where is the Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade?" Zhao Qi frowned and asked.
"Your Majesty, due to the tight time, the war horses of the Third Brigade and Fourth Brigade have not been reproduced. We can only wait until the tide is rising tonight!" Zhao Lian reported.
"Well, have the people from the Military Intelligence Department contacted?" Zhao Qi nodded. Things were a bit unexpected, but what battle was fought according to the script? It is inevitable that there are some minor mistakes in such a large-scale military operation.
The tide gradually receded, and large ships began to retreat to the deep sea with the tide. Only some small boats were left on the sea to guard the cruise.
"Your Majesty, the intelligence officers and guides sent by the Military Intelligence Department have arrived!" Zhao Lian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor did not pursue the matter.
"Has the situation in Pingzhou changed?" Zhao Qi asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, everything in Pingzhou is as usual, the defenders have not increased, but the security has been strengthened!" Zhao Lian replied.
"Zhao Lian, you immediately lead the first brigade of the Leopard, and the second brigade rushes to Pingzhou with light equipment. You must be fast on the road. Bypass the prefectures and counties that are fortified by the enemy, don't get entangled with the enemy. Everything is to occupy Pingzhou. Do you understand?
"Zhao said that the Jin army did not know that the Song army had landed in Yingzhou, so the defense would inevitably be relaxed. It would be easy to succeed only if it had not reacted.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will lead the army in person!" Zhao Lian stood up and replied saluted, and everyone looked at him. He is no longer a servant from the former royal palace, but one of the top ten confidant generals under the emperor, who can block it alone
On the one hand, the commander-in-chief of the landing battle behind enemy lines. At this moment, the emperor ordered Zhao Lian to leave the brigade and lead two brigades to attack a city, which was obviously a bit useless, but Zhao Lian unexpectedly accepted it calmly, which made everyone realize that the emperor
While being authoritative in the army, he also understood the importance of the battle to seize Pingzhou.
"Zhao Lian, you can use extraordinary strategies in extraordinary times. Don't be obsessed with it. I will take on everything and must complete the task!" Zhao Qi raised his hand and said.
"I understand, I will complete the task!" Zhao Lian stood attentively and replied solemnly...
Pingzhou is a key road between Yanjing and Liaodong. After the battle began, it quickly captured the city and controlled the landing power between Yuguan and Pingzhou, giving the landing troops a defensive depth and a base. Therefore, Zhao Jie
At the beginning of the plan, I deliberately wanted to occupy Pingzhou.
As a military fortress, its city defense must be very strong. In accordance with military needs, the city is built according to the mountain. The city is three meter-to-6 feet high, three meter-to-large, and two meter-to-large, and the overall shape is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the city wall is thick.
All doors are equipped with heavy doors and are attached with urns. The four doors are all built on the platform, and the marquis are associated with each other and have a rigorous structure. Moreover, the main city gate and the urns are not directly opposite each other and are at a certain angle. The purpose is to prevent the enemy from being directly in line.
When attacking and enemy spy, a city tower was built on the city gate to show its might and have a lookout effect. Moreover, the city has been repaired and kept intact.
When the Liao army rebel general Zhang Jue relied on Pingzhou's solid city defense to defeat Jin army general Wanyan Jiemu. Later, Han still couldn't take action and used a surprise attack to capture the city. If the Song army could not capture Ping for a long time in this battle, it would not have been the case.
The states were in a stalemate. When Wu Shu returned to the army to help, the landing troops would be trapped in the dilemma of being attacked on both sides and being at risk. They could only fight with mobile operations and end up losing sea supplies.
Therefore, the attacks on Zhuozhou and Juyongguan before the landing war were launched were all aimed at transferring the Jin army in Pingzhou to weaken its defense ability, and then fully utilize the advantages of the fast speed and strong maneuverability of the Leopard General and Dragon Rider, and rushing to the Baili to take advantage of the situation.
Preparing to attack the city. Now only one-third of the troops can move quickly and there is no artillery support, which greatly reduces Zhao Qi's plan and forces him to give up the scheduled siege of prefectures and counties along the way, and take action while walking
The tactics can only be seen now whether the Leopard General runs fast or the Jin army’s news spreads quickly!
Zhao Lian was very clear about what the emperor told him that he wanted to make up for the shortcomings of his troops with speed and win quickly. Therefore, Zhao Lian ordered the entire army to be lighter again, and the troops only carried weapons, ammunition and drinking water, each with two horses, and each with three horses,
Set out immediately.
Everyone understood at a glance that they had to rush to attack with all their strength. The Grand Customs arrived more than 150 miles from Pingzhou, and the car arrived in just over an hour, but the horse could not do it. The normal marching speed of war horses was every day
Sixty miles, the marching is about 120 miles, and the middle needs to be rested. After the troops set off, they turn to a fast step, and each hour is about 60 miles, so they can be faster if they change horses and people.
, but if you run over at this speed, there will definitely be a group of war horses that will cost you!
After the surprise attack troops set off, Zhao Qi ordered the northern line to command Ma Wei to command three land combat brigades to capture the passes along the Great Wall and build a fortress to defend. The wolf general immediately attacked and advanced, seized the Funing County Town in Pingzhou, and controlled traffic.
The four brigades of the Leopard General, the artillery brigade and various logistics brigades, guard the landing ground, and immediately rushed to Pingzhou at night after receiving supplies and war horses...
