At noon, the wind weakened, but the snow fell heavier and heavier. It was already the end of winter, and it seemed that the sky was about to drain away all the remaining wind and snow in this winter. The goose-feather-like heavy snow fell, and the snow fell on Longshou Plain.
Pink powder is flying, and the eyes are filled with confusion.
In the wind and snow, a group of cavalry from the direction of Xuanwu Gate left the camp and slowly advanced towards Longshouyuan.
The snow was flying heavily and the armor was clanging, like a torrent of steel. The sudden appearance of the wind and snow caused the rebels on Longshou Plain to turn pale with fright. While reporting to their commander, they lined up their formation and were ready.
Changsun Jiaqing is worthy of being the only remaining famous general of the Changsun family. His steady character constantly urges the army to be cautious and vigilant. Sure enough, moments after the iron cavalry with guard equipment suddenly appeared in Youtun, the entire army lined up and prepared without any panic, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of him.
opportunity.
If you want to break into the rebel positions, you can only use head-on confrontation.
Although the armored cavalry is invincible in charge, its mobility and durability are weaknesses. Even if it is good at attacking fortresses, it will still have to pay a heavy price to overwhelm the enemy's formation before facing a strict formation composed of tens of thousands of people.
Moreover, the rebels were stationed on Longshou Plain, and their armored cavalry attacked from bottom to top, making it even more difficult to take advantage of their ferocious and invincible charge...
Therefore, when Sun Jiaqing, the commander-in-chief, learned that the Youtun Guards Cavalry was attacking, although his heart skipped a beat, he did not worry too much. He quickly ordered all the ministries to perform their duties step by step. He also moved all the crossbowmen forward and deployed them at the outermost perimeter.
After the spear array.
Crossbows are difficult to cause serious damage to the armored cavalry, but they can stop the infantry charging behind the armored cavalry.
Changsun Jiaqing wore his helmet and armor and stood behind the military formation with his troops on horseback. Looking through the vast wind and snow, he saw the iron cavalry in Youtun Guards slowly slowing down in front of the Guanlong army formation, and finally stopped, and he felt deep in his heart.
He let out a long breath and felt completely relieved.
He was quite proud of himself. Although the Youtun Guards were powerful, they were at a disadvantage after all, and they also had to garrison the Xuanwu Gate. The number of troops that could be put into battle at one time was extremely limited. As long as they kept their concentration on guarding against launching cavalry raids, they would not fall into the trap.
Changsun Heng'an ended up like that.
Sitting on the horseback, the eldest son Jiaqing was dressed in military uniform, with a helmet on his head, and his long snow-white beard was fluttering in the wind and snow. He was holding a whip in his hand and pointed at the Youtun sanitary clad cavalry in the wind and snow under Longshou Plain.
, quite high-spirited: "Everyone in the world praises Fang Er as a god with his troops, and his army is invincible in hundreds of battles. But as long as I fight steadily and use defense instead of attack, I will be as safe as a rock and as solid as a golden soup! What a pity for the likes of Liu Gang and Wei Zhengju."
They are all idiots who neglected their training and neglected their duties, so they were attacked by Youtun Guards. Not only did they lose soldiers and generals, but they also caused me to be ordered by Duke Zhao. They are simply incompetent!"
In the early morning, the Youtun Guards suddenly raided Baqiao like a magic weapon, causing heavy casualties to the Guanlong army stationed east of Baqiao. Liugang's rebel army fell into Baqiao and was buried in the ruins. Fortunately, they were rescued in time.
To save his life, Wei Zhengju claimed to be ill and returned to the city before the war started, and escaped before the battle... Changsun Wuji called his eldest son Jiaqing to the city and gave him a severe scolding.
This made the eldest son Jiaqing very depressed and angry. He was guarding Longshouyuan and was indeed responsible for monitoring the Youtun Guards. However, the Youtun Guards bypassed Longshouyuan and directly crossed the Wei River to the north and made a big detour near Jingyang City to attack.
The journey to Baqiao was nearly a hundred miles. When they arrived at Baqiao after a night's attack, the defenders were completely unprepared. The general was wounded and fled, with no resistance at all. How could he blame his eldest grandson Jiaqing for this?
He calmly issued the order: "Every unit must secure its defense lines and do not act rashly. As long as you do not panic or panic, what can you do to me even if you are armed with iron cavalry?"
"Here!"
The captain beside him quickly rode away to deliver military orders to various departments.
The greatest advantage of the cavalry is that it relies on its powerful impact to break into the enemy formation, causing the enemy to panic and thereby destroying the enemy's array. When the army's array is scattered, it means that morale collapses. Even if there are thousands of troops, they can only be reduced to Dolphins and dogs, let them be slaughtered.
On the contrary, no matter how passive the battle situation is, as long as the formation is still there and the morale does not dissipate, it will be able to fight.
The eldest son, Jiaqing, felt that as long as he was calm and persistent, determined to defend Longshouyuan, he would not be moved even if the flaws of the Youtun Guards were revealed, and would never dream of severely defeating the Youtun Guards and accomplishing extraordinary feats, then even if Fang Er really used his troops like a god, It is absolutely impossible to attack Longshouyuan.
He is already quite old, and the loess is buried up to his neck. What else does he need for his illustrious military exploits and official promotion? As long as he can hold Longshou Plain firmly, it will be a great achievement after the war, and he can earn a share for his descendants. The merit of promotion is enough for the wish.
You can't expect him to go into battle with a sword at his age and charge in person...
In front, Youtun Guards and Iron Cavalry were arrayed in front of the two armies. They stood like a mountain under the wind and snow. They were only a stone's throw away from the front line of the Guanlong Army, which made the Guanlong Army very nervous. Then, two light cavalrymen came from behind. The armored cavalry ran out from left to right, patrolling on both wings in front of the Guanlong army, putting greater pressure on the Guanlong army.
Changsun Jiaqing was overlooking the battle situation from a high position, and he was quite puzzled: Since there was no chance of a sneak attack, why did the Youtun Guards not retreat?
Just as he was puzzled and wanted to order the whole army to maintain their formation and not give the right guard an opportunity to take advantage of it, he saw a sudden puff of gunpowder smoke rising from the spear formation in the front row. Dozens of soldiers were like wheat blankets in autumn. The sickle fell down and fell. At the same time, a dull thunder was heard in the ears, like a sledgehammer hitting the heart hard, which made people tremble.
Changsun Jiaqing's expression changed drastically: "The bombardment! It's the bombardment from the Right Guards! The whole army is ordered to stay put, and the rear formations move forward from the two wings to force the enemy troops to retreat! Anyone who dares to retreat without authorization and cause the formation to scatter will be killed without mercy!" "
Until this moment, the eldest grandson Jiaqing just woke up from a dream.
He had not led an army for many years, so he naturally lacked attention to the situation in the army. He had only heard about how powerful the artillery was, which was enough to crack mountains and crack rocks, but had never seen it with his own eyes. He naturally lacked vigilance in his heart and had never considered how to deal with the artillery. Challenge.
Now he suddenly realized that the reason why the Youtun Guards had lined up all the armored cavalry and light cavalry before the battle but did not move was because they were waiting for the Guanlong army to fall into disarray after a few rounds of shelling. Once the tight formation was dispersed, these armored cavalry would They would immediately launch a charge, rushing into the Guanlong army like sharp knives, killing them wantonly and completely destroying the defensive formation.
At that time, even if Bai Qi is resurrected and Han Xin is reincarnated, there is only one way to fail.
"Here!"
After receiving the order, the generals around them quickly issued military orders to the entire army. At the same time, they supervised the troops and rode towards the rear formations of the armies. Their sharp swords were unsheathed and they stared at the soldiers in the army with murderous intent. If anyone dared to retreat without authorization, he would definitely rush forward. Go up and kill them!
"boom!"
There was another muffled sound, and a cannonball fell into the crossbow formation this time. More than ten crossbowmen were blown away, blood splattered, and the surrounding soldiers panicked.
Changsun Jiaqing was puzzled: "Isn't there only one artillery left in the right guard camp? How many people can be killed by this one?"
He had been away from the battlefield for a long time and spent all day drinking and banqueting in his mansion. He knew very little about the changes in the military in recent years. Although he knew the power of firearms, he had no idea about artillery tactics.
There was someone around me who had seen the power of artillery before, and reminded him: "This tactic is called 'test firing' in Youtunwei. After all, the artillery attack distance is very far, and it is difficult to accurately control the shooting accuracy, so we use a few
The artillery uses test firing to adjust the firing angle of the artillery based on the impact point of the shell. I don’t know how to do it specifically, but generally speaking, as long as a shell falls into the shooting range during the test firing, the following will
It was a volley of all the artillery. The power of the ten thousand cannons was enough to destroy the heaven and the earth, not to mention the flesh and blood, it is no exaggeration to even move mountains and reclaim seas!"
The eldest grandson, Jiaqing, frowned. Naturally, he had heard about the power of artillery. Ever since Guan Long launched his military remonstrance, he had attacked Xuanwu Gate several times, intending to repeat the story of the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" of the past. From then on, he would break through the solid walls of the palace and kill
Enter the palace and depose the East Palace.
As a result, Chai Zhewei once again abandoned his armor, Li Yuanjing was also defeated, and the Guanlong army suffered heavy casualties.
.
However, "destroy the heaven and earth" and "move mountains and fill the sea" are completely exaggerated in his opinion. Manpower is sometimes poor, how can it be compared with the power of heaven and earth?
However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he heard a huge roar in his ears, and puffs of gunpowder smoke rose into the sky from within his rigorous array. Countless soldiers were blown away like broken-down dogs, and the fire
The group soared into the sky.
Especially when some artillery shells hit the ground and exploded, shrapnel flew in all directions, easily tearing apart the bodies of soldiers and horses. Broken limbs and broken arms scattered like raindrops, and the seemingly impregnable formation fell apart in the blink of an eye and was on the verge of collapse.
