Chapter 716 There is a way to overcome the enemy to win
It's that simple.
Sure enough, you can't wait in the palace to worry and make decisions. Zhao Xi felt the most at this time. If he were on the battlefield, he should be able to think of a solution quickly, and it should be this solution.
But staying in this palace, with this group of cabinet ministers sitting and talking, I can only think about worries.
Sure enough, the wisdom of the masses is infinite. Whether it is lifting chariots from the side of the division, or using carriage boards as temporary bridges, these are all solutions that can only be thought up by the engineering soldiers who are actually operating.
"Can a large number of carriage panels be reinforced in the short term? Can it meet the needs of several large armies?"
After the Xixia people dug the trenches, they did not ignore the battlefield. They were still prepared. If the number of teams passing through the trenches was insufficient, they would probably be divided and attacked by the Xixia people.
"Back at the official house, the inventory of chariots in Workshop City is limited. However, since the production process of carriage plates is simple, not to mention that I have ordered the original armor workshop to also make full efforts to make plates, it should be possible to use them for temporary emergencies."
While the imperial court was solving the difficulty of advancing the frontal troops, the partial division in Shazhou, consisting of 500 soldiers, was mopping up the tyrannical forces in Shazhou.
In front of the heavily armed soldiers of the Song Army, those forces that could dominate Shazhou at will were really defenseless. The whole cleanup was like chopping melons and vegetables. In just two days, only the most obedient families and families were left in Shazhou.
ethnic group.
There was no way to disobey, even those who were originally thoughtful were frightened by the Song Dynasty's firearms, and finally understood why the Song Dynasty, which had always been considered weak, launched a war to conquer Xixia. With such combat power, it can be said that
Invincible in the world.
"Shazhou Anjing is entrusted to the throne. The imperial court will not leave a single soldier for the time being. When Xixia is defeated, the imperial court will look at your political ability. How to make a decision is for you to think about."
Wang Shao would not go to great lengths to make promises for these people on behalf of the court. Even Zhang Dun, who was brave enough, would not say much at this time. This is the power of the court and the official family, and no minister or servant can do it for him.
.
How the imperial court settled these people in the end depends on their own understanding.
The scouts at the front found out that the Xiping Military Division in Guazhou City had already set off, and it was time for the partial division to get down to business...encircling the point for reinforcements, first annihilating the main force in Guazhou, and then following suit in Guazhou, and then
Change the current situation of power in Guazhou. With partial division, we can move eastward in a large scale.
The partial division's report arrived at Bianliang, with a delay of more than a month. When the court received the detailed report of the partial division's disposal of Shazhou, I am afraid that the partial division had already captured Guazhou...
"This is the only good news that makes sense!"
The partial division is attacking the city, but it is difficult for the frontal troops to advance. At this time, it is basically certain that Xixia intends to lure the troops from Huanqing to advance...
Workshop City was very attentive. In just one month, it fully supplied the front's demand for carriage baffles. All armies also began to promote the method of using carriage boards to build bridges through trenches.
However, it was finally made clear to everyone why Dangxiang was praised for his bravery by the world.
After seeing that the problem of trenches blocking the Song army's advance was solved, the Dangxiang people finally unleashed their inherent fearlessness of death.
All of a sudden, the divine arm crossbows, return cannons, catapults, and archers began to attack the engineers who were laying the bridge like crazy.
At the same time, the Xixia cavalry gave up their advantage of cavalry charge and began to advance toward the trench in an infantry formation. Moreover, the Xixia people chose the correct method of anti-fire and ammunition, advancing completely in skirmish formation, or hanging long guns.
Carrying the shield, the archer followed closely behind the shield soldier.
Whenever gunpowder bombs come towards you, the Xixia people will cover themselves with shields and quickly get down...
Once there was a break in gunpowder bombs, they got up again and continued to move forward, continuing to block the engineers from laying the bridge over the trench.
The key point is that those Xixia people with shields are truly fearless. When the gunpowder bullets are about to fall, they even dare to use their shields to knock away the gunpowder bullets...
The muskets cannot penetrate the shields, so they can only let the Xixia people slow down. The ammunition fired by the Tiger Crouching Cannon flies too slowly in the air, allowing the Xixia people to accurately judge the impact point and avoid it.
This is an attack, not a city defense. Although the Workshop City also produces large-scale artillery fire, it is not suitable for use in this kind of charge.
However, the Xixia people's arrows continued to attack the engineering soldiers under the cover of the shield soldiers, making it difficult to lay the bridge normally. They had to be constantly on guard against the Xixia people's arrows, and had to be protected by the soldiers.
Chariots, to put it bluntly, were created for cavalry and were specially used on the battlefield to restrain cavalry. However, the Xixia people abandoned the cavalry they were good at and instead fought with infantry in formation, which for a time dragged the battle into a tug-of-war.
The entire frontal battlefield is actually in a stalemate stage. Although the Song army has made some progress, the distance of advancement is very limited.
"Actually, it's not that complicated. It's just that the generals are a little bit over the top. If you think about it differently, you can find a way to restrain the opponent."
Affected by the partial division, Zhao Xi has been trying to enter the battlefield attentively these days to consider ways to solve the battlefield dilemma.
"Guan family, do you have any clever ideas?"
Since receiving the reports from all fronts, the cabinet ministers have almost no sleep at night. This time, they have made such a huge effort. If they really can't make a contribution, to be honest, at least they won't be wiped out by the end of this term.
Xixia.
This is a great regret for the cabinet members who want to leave their mark in history.
As for the defeat, considering the current combat power of the country, if it cannot achieve the expected goal and cannot defeat Xixia, then it is a failure.
"Actually, everyone has exaggerated the role of the chariot, thinking that it is really invincible. This is a cognitive misunderstanding, and it also affects the thinking of the generals."
"In recent years, my tendency has also led to this result. All military units focus on firearms training during training, and they are trained in firearms combat modes with tanks, allowing the generals to form a fixed combat mindset.
"
"Just think about it, what was the reason why Xixia was stronger than the state in the early years? It was the cavalry. Putting aside the individual combat capabilities of the current soldiers, even the early Forbidden Army, in the infantry battle, how could the Xixia people be able to compete?
of?"
"Now that the Xixia people have put aside their advantages and are fighting against me in the Song Dynasty and the Yijun formation... If we also give up our chariots against cavalry, what about the Yijun formation against me?"
Yes, looking at the infantry military formation, which dynasty can rival the imperial dynasty? Isn’t the general who is leading the army familiar with the military formation? But why is the front line...?
"Report... to the officials, all the elders, Commander Di on Qin Feng Road, all the soldiers got out of the chariots, the army formation advanced, the chariots followed, and they have already advanced a hundred miles...

At this time, Wang Zhongzheng brought exciting news to the cabinet.
