Niu agreed readily, which made Zhe Kerou a little uncomfortable.
How should I put it, when the self-defense battalion came to Linfu to train new troops, not to mention they cooperated readily, even when training those weapons, it seemed that they wanted to avoid the Zhe family and would take people out of the city every time.
Let alone fight together, even if they want to communicate with each other, they don't dare to speak.
This is due to my own mentality.
In fact, the soldiers of the guard camp really have no intention of doing so. If the Zhe family proposed to communicate, they would readily agree.
Not to mention the fact that it is possible to save face, even the kind of arrogant guard camp is accustomed to, will still agree.
However, due to the Linfu system and the mentality of the Zhe family, they always felt that the new army was avoiding them... In fact, how could firearms such as guns and cannons be used in the city?
As for now... the escort battalion has already received the order: in this war time, the new troops will be assigned to their respective units, and the use of firearms will be allowed.
Firearms have always been kept highly confidential in Liaoxia.
The so-called camp, especially the camp on the Xixia side, is just a fake.
The Xixia people are accustomed to riding horses and galloping, but are not good at defending cities. For them, the camp is nothing more than a sentry point. They barter in peacetime and garrison troops in wartime.
The location for setting up this camp... This area is full of ravines. How can there be any dangerous passes for setting up a camp?
The people of Xixia are not like the people in the Song Dynasty who set up camps in a planned manner. The seven-star chain and the three-legged tripod all have their origins and explanations, and they can all take care of each other.
Xixia people are not used to being trapped in camps, but are more used to galloping horses...
Therefore, it is really not difficult for Zhe Kerou to build such a camp.
I wanted to greet the new army because I wanted to really see how the new army fought, so that I could prepare in advance...
"Commander Zhe, how are you going to fight?"
"Commander Niu please make it clear..."
This is the reason for the lack of communication. It feels unfamiliar, everything is hidden, and everything is being tested.
The soldiers in the guard camp were greatly influenced by Zhao Xi, and they really didn't like this approach of saying half of them would stay and half of them.
Now that the new army has been invited to join the war, there should be specific tactics in place. Why are you saying such polite words now?
"Commander, it's not difficult to capture the camp. If you want to annihilate them all...do you think this is possible?"
"The new army attacked the camp, and the commander chose to ambush in the direction where the western thieves were fleeing. Let's try our best not to escape."
"This will prevent us from firing the first shot and affecting the main attack direction of both sides."
"After the camp is captured, the commander can choose people to dress up as Xixia people, continue to guard the camp, and receive supplies from Xixia. How about that?"
You're welcome, just tell me what you want.
There are many classes on military strategy in the escort camp, and His Royal Highness often talks about some messy and fictitious battles.
The soldiers of the general escort camp are very clear-cut when it comes to tactics.
The key point is that this method of establishing strongholds and trapping deserters seems to have been used during the Southern Expedition.
Niu's key consideration is: Don't mess up all the plans of His Highness the Crown Prince just because the fight starts here... In that case, even if ten camps are taken down, it will not help, but it will be in vain.
Zhe Kerou was surprised. He was just being polite, but he was not polite at all.
The problem is that the entire tactical arrangement is quite high-level... but annihilating them all is a bit too much.
The Xixia people are not soldiers of the imperial court. They rely on war horses, not legs. If they want to escape, there is nothing we can do. Not to mention the lack of horses, they are just a commanding cavalry. Compared with the Xixia people, their riding skills are much inferior.
Cut...~I grew up on horses since I was a child.
Regarding Zhe Kerou, all he wanted was to seize the camp. As for how many Xixia people he could annihilate... he never thought that being able to behead thirty or fifty people was already a huge achievement.
I didn't expect that the guard camp would be wiped out as soon as it opened...
"Commander Niu, it is too difficult to annihilate them all. Our defenders are all infantry and there are no cavalry. If the Western thieves want to escape, even if we pursue them, we will only be killed in the end."
It’s not that there are no such precedents, there should be many, and the escort battalion shouldn’t be unaware...
He was the one who started the incident. If it was really because of this camp, whether it was the damage to the Zhe family army or the loss of the new army, it would not be something that his commander alone could bear.
Therefore, he must make it clear first.
I have His Highness the Prince's thick tree root, but he can't bend it easily.
"It's an ambush, not a pursuit. I naturally know that the infantry cannot pursue the cavalry... As for whether we can annihilate them all, we won't know until we fight."
Zhe Kerou didn't know the effect that firearms could have on cavalry, especially Xixia war horses before they were specifically trained, but Niu had seen it before.
They are both war horses, and the Xixia war horses are not necessarily stronger than the Yunnan horses. Even the elephants can't be carried, so I don't believe how powerful this Xixia war horse is.
Yes! That's what he said. As for people not listening, there's nothing he can do about it.
As long as no pursuit is allowed and the soldiers are not injured, it is one thing to let the soldiers of the guard camp know how powerful the Xixia cavalry is for once.
However, the original plan to cooperate with the attack has now become the main attack of the new army, and they cooperated to set up an ambush.
Niu is not as familiar with this area as the local snake Zhe Kerou. All ambush points and soldiers are arranged by Zhe Kerou. Niu just waits for the ambush to be in place and just scares the bird's nest... Continued
Coming down is to catch birds.
There are two wheel cannons, not many, there are only two here in Lin Mansion.
More than a thousand New Army soldiers lined up neatly, pushing the two wheel cannons and approaching the camp step by step...
"Commander Niu, we are about to reach the bow and arrow range."
The cow paused for a moment, stretched out his right hand in front of his eyes, flexed and stretched a few fingers...
"We have to go further..."
The wheel cannon only has such a long range, and it can't hit the village gate at this distance.
"Commander Niu..."
"It doesn't matter...stay with the gunpowder bombs and the firing team, and the rest will continue moving forward."
The Xixia people's bows and arrows had already been shot, but...~At this time, Zhe Kerou also understood why Niu said it was okay.
The jingling arrows just hit the armor of the New Army soldiers, leaving no trace... Zhe Kerou also stopped dodging and blocking the arrows. He was also wearing the armor of the New Army.
.
This equipment...sigh, I really can't compare.
At this time, the Xixia people had already opened the village gate, and nearly three hundred war horses came out of the village gate one after another and began to form a team...
This distance, that is, a charge of a war horse, is reached in an instant... He was killed by this cow. In this situation, there is no chance to escape.
From the moment she opened the village gate, Zhe Kerou tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen... It's okay, just stay with her.
"Elevation thirty, base number one... launch!"
Zhe Kerou was already preparing to fight to the death, but he heard Niu Zha yelling a few words that he didn't understand.
