Wang Shao was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
The original anxiety was because he was afraid of delaying the war. Now that he was finally able to transfer the chariot, he felt an inexplicable anxiety.
Why is this? Wang Shao can't figure it out.
After he moved the headquarters of the partial division to the stronghold closest to Dangjin Mountain in the passage, he has been paying attention to the opposite side of Dangjin Mountain. In the past year, the Xixia people have not stopped harassing them, and it is impossible for the Xixia people to start a war immediately.
Became gentle again.
Wang Shao especially wanted to go there and have a look, so as to make a judgment. But he couldn't. He was the commander. Although it would not be until the end, when all the troops were transferred, he would not set off. At least he would have to transfer 60 to 70% of the soldiers.
Only then can he leave the Chinese Army.
Although today was only the first transfer, it only took half a day to lift. In addition to pile driving, debugging and other reasons, only five tanks and less than a hundred people were lifted. Even if it is lifted at the fastest speed, five tanks will be lifted at this rate.
With all the soldiers of the army hoisted over, I am afraid that even Jinshan Mountain can be climbed directly by chariots.
Therefore, we are even more anxious. If we lift it like this, the partial division will not be able to enter the battle at all.
"Commander, I think tomorrow we can keep a safe distance, piling in many places, and hoisting in many places."
Zhong Jianzhong did not realize that Wang Shao was anxious because the lifting method was not available, and thought he was just worried about the soldiers who had already been lifted.
"The Xixia people don't attack. The number of soldiers we lifted over is not enough to attack. From now on, it should be a good thing. The soldiers are waiting in the tanks and the supplies are sufficient. There will be three to five days when the number of soldiers transported reaches a certain level.
When the number is high, we will have enough power to attack."
This is a practice initiated and followed by the officials during the war. In the past, during wartime, commanding the battle was only the responsibility of the commander, and other generals only carried out the execution. However, because of the several battles of the officials, they have been promoting the practice of the headquarters and staff. Over the years,
And it was followed.
This is indeed very effective, and everyone can always improve the battle plan.
The next day, all the engineers brought by the partial division went into battle...
As the chariots were being lifted one after another, the Xixia people finally couldn't hold it any longer and began to tentatively attack the chariots. The result was helpless. Whether it was arrows or scimitars, facing this black box, there was no way.
Any way.
Several times, Wang Shunchen couldn't help but want to open the carriage and go out, and endured it. The new soldiers who came down today received the commander's military order: stay in the original position and do not attack, so as not to arouse the enemy.
Five days later, the entire foot of Dangjin Mountain was already densely packed with chariots, while the Xixia cavalry continued to retreat, always maintaining a distance of about 200 steps. This distance was very beneficial for cavalry charges.
The so-called achievements are fleeting, and may not apply to the huge disparity in armaments between Song and Xia. However, when the first chariot of the Song Army appeared at the foot of Dangjin Mountain, hundreds of Xixia cavalry attacked the chariot regardless of life and death...
·The biggest loophole of the chariot is that the soldiers in the chariot cannot know the situation outside the vehicle.
Under such circumstances, whether it is a fire attack or manpower overturning the chariot, whether it is a fire attack igniting the gunpowder in the chariot or knocking the soldiers in the chariot unconscious, the future direction can be changed.
But no, the Xixia cavalry just watched the Song army gather. In this way, the advantage of the Song army was no longer in armaments, but in quantity...
If the Xixia people discovered that Jinshan had been breached by the Song army, and the cavalry responsible for garrisoning and guarding could turn around and leave, and warn the defenders of the sandbank, maybe there would really be nothing wrong with the troops later.
But no, I just looked at it, looking at the dark boxes with no living things but increasing numbers, and tried to shoot arrows and chop with knives...
Five days was enough time for Wang Shao and others to transport too many soldiers.
"Sneak up tonight and form a siege on this part of the garrisoned cavalry. The commander's order is to annihilate them all. No news should be leaked before the army attacks the sandbank. The raid on the sandbank must be completed!"
At this time, after five days of lifting, nearly 2,000 soldiers had crossed Dangjin Mountain. Except for Gao Jingting and the five other captains of the Guards, the other four were already in place. Although it was not specified, it was customary for Chong Jianzhong to be the leader.
.
Wang Shao was lucky and pushed forward with his division. It should have been tragic as expected. Just like Wang Shunchen's chance to fight for the first chariot, it was also because of Wang Shunchen's bravery and marksmanship.
But Wang Shao really didn't expect that the result would be like this. This is equivalent to the Xixia people automatically losing the opportunity to the Song Dynasty!
As long as all the cavalry garrisoned at the foot of Dangjin Mountain are left at the foot of Dangjin Mountain, they can make a surprise attack on the sandbar and capture it as quickly as possible while minimizing casualties.
At the same time, the difficulty of lifting the chariot without livestock will be solved on the sandbank.
Merchants in Xifan, at this time of year, will gather on the sandbank, whether taking the southern route or the northern route, waiting for the flowers to bloom and the passage to be clear to set off for the imperial court...this time
It's all information collected by intelligence.
In wartime, everything comes first with war needs. This is one of the official views on war.
In the past, Wang Shao might have been worried about being impeached. As for now, as long as the soldiers did not violate military orders, it would not be a big deal to requisition some Spanish animals.
Besides, Wang Shao felt that if he led the partial division to advance eastward this time, he would probably be really invincible. Such an achievement was too great. Wang Shao also needed to pour some dirty water on himself so that the courtiers could find him.
Point of stubble······
In fact, the partial division also had inspectors, because Zhang Dun accompanied the army, but there were fewer civil and assistant officers.
During this time of year, the nights were quite cold in this area. Because they had been in the chariot for so long, the soldiers seemed to rather resist the freezing cold than to stay in the chariot.
The cotton-padded clothes in Gongfangcheng really came into play at this time. What's more, Zhao Xi completely copied the style of the military coat from later generations. With such equipment, he could resist for half a night, and against the soldiers who were eager to fight,
The past can be resisted.
It was a bit sudden, and the Xixia cavalry did make a sudden intrusion.
Because the Song army was afraid of the cold, they tried to sneak as far away as possible, so that at dawn, the soldiers would besiege them instead of freezing in the cold winter night. Therefore, even if the Xixia people kept vigil at night, they did not find Song Dynasty.
The army surrounded them.
When dawn came, when the shadow of Jinshan Mountain was still far away towards the sandbank, those black boxes suddenly opened, and then came the densely packed Song army, constantly throwing gunpowder bombs into the cavalry team...

Victory or defeat was determined from the beginning.
