The Northern Liao court will always focus on the overall situation. Whether it is Yelu Yixin or the Northern Liao court, they have stationed nearly 200,000 cavalry on the border...
The chance is really gone. Unless the court is prepared for a full-scale war, it will be really difficult to achieve success.
Zhao Xi seems to have never thought about fighting...
Since there is civil strife in Beiliao, it is the most appropriate choice to consume Beiliao's combat power as much as possible.
"The four Jurchen tribes have actually formed an alliance..."
The news gets more shocking each time.
In fact, this is not surprising.
How Bei Liao treats the Jurchens will not change because of the Jurchen disaster. What's more, this time the Jurchens colluded with Yelu Yixin...
This is true rebellion.
Therefore, the purpose of Beiliao going north to investigate the killing of the cavalry in front became the indiscriminate annihilation of the Jurchens.
The Jurchens will naturally form an alliance.
When Zhao Xi heard the news, he also had some thoughts: If the strength of Beiliao and the Jurchens could be solved at once...~
"The officials, can we use the weapons in the arsenal to support the Jurchens through the channels of the fourth prince?"
In terms of strength, Yelu Yixin was still inferior to the Northern Liao emperor.
The court's humility in the northwest was equivalent to allowing the Northern Liao emperor to mobilize troops from the northwest to recruit Si and Shangjing Road. With Yelu Yixin's power alone, it would be difficult to fight a protracted war with the Northern Liao court.
At this time, if the Jurchens could contain the troops of the Northern Liao court in the north...~
"I'm afraid that the Four Jurchen Alliance also has Yelu Yixin's plan... Yelu Yixin is quite a character!"
"Jurchen... Let's ask the Fourth Prince to support the collection of pirate weapons. As for the armaments in the imperial arsenal... we'll talk about it then."
Whether it is Yelu Yixin or the four Jurchen tribes, strictly speaking, they are all ministers of the Northern Liao Dynasty, but now they are plotting rebellion. The civil strife in the Northern Liao Dynasty will help the country finally regain Yanyun, but from the court level, it is clear that
Supporting the rebels on the surface is an indirect endorsement of the rebellion.
In this era, there is nothing that can support anti-imperial forces without having an impact. The royal family, no matter which dynasty they belong to, should be respected, and the imperial court, no matter which dynasty they belong to, must be loyal.
It's not that Zhao Xi wants to be a bitch and build a memorial arch. This is determined by his position. He must express his jealousy and disgust about the rebellion. It is the maximum limit to allow the fourth prince to interfere.
The royal family is the position of the royal family, and the imperial court naturally has the position of the imperial court. In the face of the civil strife in Northern Liao, the imperial court needs to express something. The courtiers and the military all agree on this.
Therefore, there still needs to be some fighting in Hebei Province...
"Commander, artillery is not very effective. The cavalry of Bei Liao are scattered widely. If the artillery is fired, unless it hits, the damage to the cavalry is almost zero. The horses of Bei Liao seem to have adapted to fighting in the sound of artillery fire...
···”
The deputy general was chattering to Wang Shunchen. Wang Shunchen also saw it and was feeling troubled.
In the first offensive, he finally managed to get past his brothers, but he didn't expect such a result.
This time the country and Korea were not in a defensive war, but an offensive war. The situation was completely changed, but the outcome of the battle remained unchanged.
Despite the lively fighting on his own side, there was almost no real damage done to Beiliao. Wang Shunchen was very worried.
Bei Liao was still the same as before, with no formations and no special tactics when facing chariots. However, Bei Liao's war horses adapted to the roar of artillery fire, and Bei Liao's cavalry also learned how to avoid skirmishers...
"Deputy Commander Chen, you sit in the middle army, and I will personally lead the cavalry to attack you once!"
Tactics cannot be fixed and must be adjusted according to the situation on the battlefield. Wang Shunchen still knows this.
Since the artillery fire of the Guo Dynasty could not completely suppress the cavalry of the Northern Liao Dynasty, they tried to cooperate with the artillery, infantry, and cavalry.
I had heard officials mention this concept before in the martial arts hall, called multi-arms coordinated operations. Since the court decided that this was a trial operation, I would give it a try first.
"Commander, those are all knights..."
"So much nonsense! Now that the imperial court has sent us here, are you still worried about any accidents? What happened to Fanqi? Those who enter China are Chinese..."
This is roughly the meaning of the words, and the original text cannot be remembered. As for the foreigners, Wang Shunchen came from the Western Army in the early years, and he did not interact with foreigners once or twice, and not all foreigners are not human.
Today's cavalry team, even Wang Shunchen is jealous of it. Although it is still a light cavalry, it is fully armored. It is the latest thin armor in Gongfang City. Although it cannot withstand Ma Li and Mo Dao, Beiliao's arrows are absolutely
It won't do much harm.
Wang Shunchen also has this kind of equipment, and he has verified it.
All the cavalry are equipped with powerful crossbows, short muskets, lightweight horse-steeds, and carry no less than five tunnel grenades... All the equipment is tailor-made by the workshop city.
Specially made for the Cavalry.
If it weren't for the imperial court's excessive cherishment and high cost, Wang Shunchen would have dared to lead these three thousand cavalry directly into the enemy's formation and kill several people back and forth.
With such equipment, they are all cavalry who are accustomed to horseback. Not to mention that the opponent is not an elite, even if they encounter the Pishi Army and Palace Guards of Beiliao, they should be completely suppressed.
After the encounter, first fire a round of powerful crossbows, then use grenades to clear the way, directly charge with a horse and spear, and finally kill with a short musket... What can the elites of Bei Liao do?
"This is the first time the cavalry team has cooperated with artillery and chariot arrays to fight. I also know that you are all the treasures of the imperial court. Are you good guys or warriors? This battle is the moment to test you."
"The imperial court has spent so much money and energy on you. It is not just for showmanship. It needs to reflect your value on the battlefield. It is necessary to prove on the battlefield that you are worthy of this equipment and the salary that the imperial court gives you."
"I tell you, this battle is not only a moment to prove your fighting power, but also to set an example for those who come after you. If you are defeated, it is obvious that you will completely cut off the way for your descendants to join the army..."
·Because, failure with such powerful equipment means that the imperial court’s expenditure is a waste, not as good as chariots and infantry, and the imperial court will no longer recruit cavalry!”
Wang Shunchen, standing on the commander's platform, mustered up all his energy and gave a pre-battle speech to the dark cavalry.
"Chariots are used for formation, and cavalry is used for maneuvering and charging. All soldiers are familiar with this. How to coordinate operations, I will not go into details. You have learned it in the operation manual and have also taught it in the martial arts hall."
"Now, Bei Liao is on the north bank of the Baima River, and our chariot formation in Xiongzhou is also on the north bank of the Baima River. Confrontation is not my style. I want the Bei Liao cavalry not to rush into the formation, even the skirmishers.
The Northern Liao cavalry in the formation must also be defeated miserably, routed, and completely defeated when they encounter this commander!"
