Yang Zhentian, the general of Zhenxi who was guarding Wangfu Ridge outside Yingzui Cliff, was also very concerned about the decisive battle of the Wasteland Cavalry. The Yang family had guarded Yumen Pass for generations and had often dealt with the cavalry from the Western Regions and the grasslands. He was better at dealing with the cavalry.
experience
.
In addition, the military strategy written by Li Tielan that he snatched from Zhan Ying did contain detailed tactical cases for dealing with the Storm Cavalry.
So, he wrote a letter to Zhao Xianfeng, offering good strategies to defeat the enemy.
In the past two days, Zhao Xianfeng, Zhao Zian and other major cavalry commanders in the world have been studying the feasibility of the strategy sent by Yang Zhentian to defeat the enemy.
Yang Zhentian's strategy is very simple, just two words.
Chariot and chariot charge have disappeared for many years in the cavalry combat in Middle-earth. Originally, chariots were used to attack enemy infantry camps. Later, with the improvement of production levels, the emergence of heavy armored cavalry replaced them.
The tactics are very inflexible
Chariots, no one has used chariots for charge in thousands of years. Zhao Zian looked at the chariot drawings one after another and said to Zhao Xianfeng: "Father, the requirements for chariot charge on the battlefield are too strict.
, The first is the weather, it must be sunny, the ground is dry, and there is no muddy water. The second is the terrain, which must be a flat plain. Before the chariot is dispatched, the forwards need to carry out the work of laying soil, paving pits and clearing stones. A small pit or
A stone can cause the chariot to roll over, accidentally injuring surrounding companions. The third chariot has been eliminated in Middle-earth for many years. Although Yang Shuai's drawings are available for reference, it will take a long time to make millions of chariots.
We don't have a few years to prepare, not to mention the need for training and cooperation. Besides, the way to break the chariot formation is very simple. Just dig a few narrow ditches in front of the two army formations, and the chariots will be unable to play their role.
Yang Shuai's suggestion is good, but it is not practical on the current battlefield. Regardless of the time and location, this chariot tactic is only suitable for the vast northwest grasslands, not for many places.
The rainy wilderness of southern Xinjiang." The various cavalry generals in the tent are all generals leading troops, and naturally know a lot about military affairs. Most of them nodded slowly. Although they knew the rotating gears installed on the wheel hubs on both sides of the chariot,
It is very effective against six-legged monsters, but
It is indeed not suitable for the southern wasteland. Moreover, the chariot does have many shortcomings. If it cannot solve the disadvantages of marching on rugged mountain roads and rainy weather, the chariot tactic is useless and can only be used once. The second Celestial Storm Legion
After you are prepared, think again
It is very difficult to use a chariot charge to achieve results. Zhao Xianfeng put away a thick stack of chariot drawings and said: "In the current war, there is no time for us to build chariots. First, Yang Shuai will
The drawings of these chariots and the tactical strategy of chariot charge were sealed and sent back to His Majesty. The enemy Storm Cavalry Regiment suffered a lot of losses after passing through the Old Crow Forest. It is estimated that it will be difficult to defeat them in a short time.
We launch an attack. What I am more worried about right now is that Yang Shuai, the nearly three million veterans of the Zhenxi Army, has been arranged by Yang Shuai.
Although Wangfu Ridge and Duoshi Peak on the outskirts of Yingzui Cliff have the effect of nails, it is very difficult to withstand the offensive of the heavenly army." Zhao Zian said: "Commander Father, there is no way we can do this.
Any dangerous pass will be conquered one day. Outside Yingzui Cliff is a flat river. Only Wangfu Ridge and Duoshi Peak can play the role of a urn city. If heavy troops are not deployed here, there will be no defense line outside Yingzui Cliff.
, the entire Yingzuiya trumpet mouth defense line is like an isolated city. To be honest, when I heard that Yang Shuai led the Zhenxi Army to personally guard Wangfu Ridge and Duoshi Peak, I admired his vision and courage in my heart.
Our Xuanjia Army often dealt with the Zhenxi Army. I always thought that Yang Shuai was a foolhardy man. Through this incident, I changed my attitude towards him. I have been studying the trumpet defense line arranged by the General Manager.
, in my opinion, can
The key points of guarding the defensive line at the bell mouth of Yingzui Cliff are Wangfu Ridge and Suishifeng. It depends on whether Yang Shuai's veterans of many battles can hold it."
Yang Zhentian hasn't slept for three days. Ever since he learned that the main force of the Heavenly Realm was heading north, he has been shuttling between Wangfu Ridge and Duoshi Peak, inspecting the defenses of these two solitary mountains.
With the continuous deployment of elite troops from the Zhenxi Army into western Hunan, the number of Zhenxi Army stationed at Wangfuling and Duoshifeng is no longer over one million, but as high as 2.8 million.
The terrain of Shishi Peak was difficult, and Yang Zhentian deployed 1.2 million troops. Wangfu Ridge deployed 1.6 million troops.
It was difficult to accommodate so many people on one mountain, so they almost hollowed out the entire mountain.
In order to resist the long-range attacks of the enemy's Legion of Destruction and prevent the collapse of the mountains, Cangyun Sect, Tianshi Dao and other sects also laid out multiple defensive arrays on the rock walls and built them as permanent fortifications.
Nearly three million able-bodied veterans only need food and water every day, which is a terrible number.
Fortunately, Wangfuling was built. During the construction of fortifications, underground rivers and springs were dug several times, so the water source problem can be solved.
Capturing the Stone Peak was a bit more miserable. The food was quite sufficient, but the water source problem was difficult to solve.
As a last resort, Zhao Shiqu asked cultivators for help and built a secret underground passage between Wangfu Ridge and Duoshi Peak, hoping to connect the two mountains together.
Dozens of miles of underground passages cannot be repaired by just repairing them. It has been half a month and the passage has not been opened yet. Yang Zhentian stood at the highest point of Wangfu Ridge and looked at the battle report that Zhao Shiqu had just received early in the morning.
The main army of Heaven Realm is only 800 miles away. It rushes directly towards Yingzui Cliff. It does not divide its troops to go to the first-line gorge of Cangyun Mountain. Now it can
It is certain that the heavenly army wants to tear apart the defense of Yingzui Cliff from the front.
"You really look down on people."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Zhentian's mouth. Not to mention Yingzui Cliff in Xiongguan, it was Wangfu Ridge where his Zhenxi Army was stationed. Seizing the stone peak was not an easy task for the Heavenly Army to capture.
A few months ago, we began to build an offensive here. With the help of cultivators, the walls of these two mountains were flattened. They were surrounded by cliffs, leaving only a relatively gentle road up the mountain for heavenly attacks.
direction.
There are dozens of layers of mountain passages on the mountain used as caves for hiding soldiers. All around the mountain are densely packed with dark cave entrances.
Zhao Shiqu allocated 4,000 Eight-Niu Crossbows to Yang Zhentian, and each Eight-Niu Crossbow was equipped with 500 crossbow guns, a total of two million crossbow guns.
At this moment, all these terrifying killing machines have been deployed and hidden in the cave. When the enemy's Storm Legion launches an attack, the crossbow bed of the Eight Ox Crossbow will be pulled into the cave, and huge rocks will be put down, and then pushed to the entrance of the cave when used.
.
In addition, strong bows, strong crossbows, rolling stones, and fierce fire oil are also very abundant. Yang Zhentian feels that as long as the underground passage between Wangfu Ridge and Duoshi Peak is opened and the water source problem of Duoshi Peak is solved, he can hold on
