Gunpowder weapons have been used in the military for more than a hundred years.
Emperor Daozong of Daliao once reviewed artillery in Yanjing, which was a gunpowder ball fired by a human-powered trebuchet.
Although the Jin Dynasty emerged in the wild land of Baishan and Heishui, it was very good at absorbing various military technologies and applying them extensively. Therefore, after capturing Yanjing of the Liao Kingdom, the Jin army also gradually adopted gunpowder weapons.
Come and try it quickly. 】
For example, when the King of Jinyuan County attacked Huaizhou, he used artillery to burn down the green cloth curtains and rope nets deployed by the defenders. When he attacked Kaifeng, he used artillery to burn the oars. Even the Song people had to admit that the Jin army "attacked weapons". A hero, unprecedented in history."
They were also regimes established by foreigners in the north. The Liao Army and the Xixia Army were never good at attacking cities, while the Jin Army used various technologies including gunpowder weapons to give its own army a complete set of methods for attacking cities. To a certain extent, this is one of the reasons why the Jurchens were able to take over the Central Plains, because in order to take over the Central Plains, a tough battle was indispensable.
But strictly speaking, these gunpowder weapons themselves are not very powerful. Most of the time, their power is reflected in arson rather than explosion.
Guo Ning naturally knew that this was a crooked road, and it was inevitable to correct the chaos at this end. However, progress in this area is ultimately limited by various practical conditions. At this time, the only thing that can be put into actual combat is this giant thunder that is used to collapse city walls.
Each of these thunderbolts requires a large vehicle to be transported, and care must be taken to prevent fire and earthquakes along the way. When stored, they cannot be placed together with ordinary ordnance supplies. They must be set up in a separate camp and supervised separately. Given the navy's combat style, it would only be worthwhile if tens of thousands of people were dispatched on foot and on horseback, and they had to be tasked with attacking difficult targets.
For example, Guo Ning's West Route Army faced Li Quan, who had been entrenched in the northeastern states of Shandong for more than a year. The troops passed by well-defended cities such as Yidu, Weizhou, and Binzhou along the way. It is very necessary to carry thunder mines for release.
The Southern Route Army led by Li Ting emphasized marching quickly and taking advantage of the chaos to attack quickly, so it was not equipped with gunpowder weapons. The military government dispatched additional horses for this purpose to maximize the capabilities of the cavalry.
Otherwise, no matter how fierce Li Ting is, he will rush to fight for several days. Humans can persist, but horses cannot.
Half an hour ago, Li Ting stormed Yao Yun's camp, and then found it difficult to support him, so he withdrew his troops and retreated to the slopes east of the dense water.
Yao Yun was fooled and moved all the troops in the camp that could be mobilized in this direction, trying to forcefully drive away Li Ting's troops and seize the slope to cover the military camp.
As a result, Qiu Huiluo rushed into the camp from the opposite side of Yao Yun's back.
The training level of the Red Coat Army is already very low. Due to the low financial and local management and control capabilities, their main force is frequently dispatched in Shandong, fighting on the move, and training in battle without any special training.
In this way, some soldiers can indeed grow up in the cruel battlefield, but those soldiers and horses who have been left behind for a long time have become disorganized and desolate, and they are just waving flags and shouting in vain. Most of those left behind by Yao Yun on the other side of the camp were of this type.
Qiu Huiluo was a master who once led Tiefutu to forcefully attack the Mongolian cavalry. How could these armed peasants resist? Penetrating into the camp at this moment was like destroying everything.
Hundreds of cavalrymen rushed left and right, slashing with spears and bayonets when they saw anyone, and throwing pine torches everywhere. At night, the flames flickered, making the knights look like ghosts and gods, and their power was extremely frightening.
Most of the soldiers in the red coat army were disturbing each other, running around like headless flies.
Qiu Huiluo led his troops into repeated clashes three times, breaking up several groups who were trying to gather together to fight back, and killed four or five red-coated army officers with the title of commander and general on the spot. However, his own losses and casualties totaled No more than twenty people.
Looking at the west side of the military camp, the collapse in the military camp caused instability in the outer formation of troops. Once the formation of troops and horses was unstable, all the personal guards under Yao Yun who were confronting Li Ting's troops in the front were also shaken.
Yao Yun already knew that he had been tricked and hurriedly brought his bodyguard back to the camp to suppress him. But as soon as he left, Li Ting's troops changed their horses and rushed down from a high position.
It is inconvenient to command at night, and the soldiers cannot get news from the battlefield, making them more likely to panic. What's more, at this moment, there is a wall of iron cavalry on the opposite side, but my own general has gone to nowhere? In an instant, thousands of people shouted and fled into the wilderness while it was dark.
At first, Yao Yun enforced military law on the spot and killed a few people who fled without permission. But when the whole army collapsed, where could they stop it? When he was in despair, someone suddenly saw his general's flag among the rebels, so he galloped over and reported a few words.
Yao Yun showed an expression of disbelief on the spot, and after a moment he said: "Okay! Okay! That's it!"
He immediately issued an order: "All the ministries follow me, let's move into Zhucheng!"
The remaining Qianqiu cavalry were rushing behind him.
Yao Yun was originally afraid that his subordinates would get too close to Guo Yaoer's troops, so he left the city to garrison. The chosen camp was more than ten miles away from Zhucheng. Normally he didn't care, but now he just wished he was too far away. After not running very far, he felt hot and sweat dripping all over his body, and he simply removed his stomach.
Since the general was like this, his subordinates all followed suit, so everyone threw off their armor and even threw away their flags and weapons.
Li Ting and General Qiu Huiluo originally wanted to annihilate the enemy troops directly in the camp. However, the looseness of the red coat army turned into an advantage at this time. So many people dispersed immediately when they saw that something was not right, and they could only be seen in the night. The shadows of people in the wild were looking longingly, but there was no possibility of surrounding them.
At this time, the entire enemy camp was empty. The second general rested his horse for a while. Qiu Huiluo Zi went to dispatch people to extinguish the fire and rescue the supplies in the camp, while Li Ting sent reconnaissance cavalry to question the prisoners and track Yao Yun's movements.
Not long after, the clever prisoner reported: "General Yao is going to Zhucheng!"
Another scout came back: "That Yao Yun packed up the remaining troops and fled to the cities. At this time, west of the camp, on the road across the dense water shoal, you can see countless abandoned flags and armor!"
Li Ting immediately went to seek revenge on Huiluo: "Yao Yun's troops were defeated. We immediately gathered a batch of armored stomachs and military uniforms, disguised as red coat troops, and followed the route of the defeated troops. We will advance all the way. We can capture the cities tonight!"
What Li Ting was talking about was the method Guo Ning used in Liaodong that day, and the person responsible for executing it was Li Ting himself. He used this to seize the Xianping Mansion, eat the marrow to know the taste, and planned to repeat his old tricks.
On the other hand, Li Ting was previously used by the imperial court to make a fuss about appointing him as the military governor of the Liao Navy. This strategy of differentiation and disintegration is very stupid, and no one among the generals will fall into the trap, but it does prove that Li Ting's reputation has spread to the Zhongdu court. In the eyes of the imperial court, Zhongdu Li Erlang was a particularly outstanding general in the Ding Navy.
Since the court had this understanding, Li Ting naturally did not want to rest on his laurels. He hoped that he could continue to make meritorious deeds and that one day he could truly become the sole leader of important tasks.
And this scene in front of him is his best opportunity to make a contribution.
Qiu Huiluo was hesitant: "Li Erlang, the soldiers are very tired, do you want to fight again? Those cities are where we have designated the navy caravans to come and go, and there are quite a few people who can respond internally. Let's rest for a day, and the soldiers will arrive tomorrow Under the city, it is either to overwhelm the defenders and surrender, or to attack the city through internal and external coordination... Maybe it is more appropriate? After all, our previous battle plan..."
"What if they don't surrender? What if they increase their vigilance and kill all our internal agents?" Li Ting asked back.
"What?"
"Yao Yun still has thousands of people in his hands. If they occupy the city and defend it, they can't hold us back for a day or two. One or two days is not long, but..."
Li Ting lowered his voice: "Mizhou is just the beginning. Moqi Mountain in Juzhou is the center of the Red Coat Army! If we have this time, we should rush to the foot of Moqi Mountain and subdue the tens of thousands of Red Coat Army. How can we Isn’t it better than lingering in a small town?”
Seeing Qiu Huiluo's hesitation, he added: "Our battle plan was all drawn up by the military students around Guo Liulang. When it comes to the battlefield, can't we adapt to the situation? It's just a small city. If we win it, we will win it. Is it still worthy of being treated with such fanfare?”
At this time, another scout cavalry held a torch high and ran straight to the front of the two men: "General Li, General Qiu, we have caught up with the tail of Yao Yun's troops! They panicked and continued to flee. They are swimming across the Lu River... …Because of the panic, some people were washed downstream by the current!”
"Lu Shui is not far from Zhucheng. With the red coat army in such chaos, the opportunity cannot be missed!" Li Ting said again.
Qiu Huiluo made up his mind: "My soldiers' physical strength and energy are still better, so I changed my clothes and went to lead the first battle. Your soldiers will rest for a while and form the second battle. In addition, call Gao Xin's troops to still provide cover." .”
Li Ting slapped his thigh: "That's it!"
