The situation in Gule Village is almost the same.
The same is true of reconnaissance first, then setting up an ambush, and finally a surprise attack to kill them all in one fell swoop.
However, the Jianzhou Army also showed strong combat effectiveness, which also made people vigilant. During the raid, every plan that was thought to be perfect would always be destroyed by some unexpected factors, causing losses to one's own side.
During the entire battle to capture the two villages, a total of more than 110 Jianzhou troops were annihilated. Despite careful preparations, our side still suffered more than 30 casualties.
You must know that these are the elite scout battalions and personal soldiers battalions brought by Mao Wenlong's headquarters. However, despite having an absolute advantage and a surprise attack, they were still counterattacked by the Jianzhou Army and caused such losses.
But all this is worth it in Mao Wenlong's opinion. The status of Jiefan Village and Gule Village is very important. Even though the Jianzhou Army has now invaded the border wall and controlled the front line of Huabaochong and Sanchaerbao, after all, they are the closest to the front line of the Jianzhou Jurchen control area of the border wall. Baozhai, those who can still be stationed at Jiefan Village and Gule Village to defend the village under such circumstances are not the lowest-ranking troops in the Jianzhou Army. They are still elite. It is quite rare to achieve such a battle loss ratio.
Jiefan Village and Gule Village can provide short-term rest and recuperation space for the army. Even the two villages are very small and cannot accommodate nearly 10,000 troops. However, the villages store dry firewood, some food and dried meat, and there are also some available The row houses were built to withstand the wind and snow, so everyone took turns to rest and take a sip of broth and dry food. It was also a rare respite for the soldiers who had traveled hundreds of miles.
Going further north from Jiefan Village and Gule Village, it is a wilderness with almost no place to rest. We can only run straight to Fu'an Fort in one breath and capture Fu'an Fort before we can rest.
According to the information passed by the current scouts, there are only more than 300 troops stationed in Fu'an Fort. Whether it is a forceful attack or a sneak attack, it should not be a problem.
But the more difficult challenge is after taking control of Fu'an Fort. The Jianzhou Army, which finds itself alone and breaks into its rear, will definitely counterattack crazily, but it also cannot stop at Fu'an Fort.
How to act depends on the stealth and suddenness of your side's sneak attack. If you can capture Fu'an Fort quietly, or if you can maintain sufficient combat effectiveness after capturing Fu'an Fort, you can directly attack from the back line of Xunhe Station. If the Jianzhou Army launches a fierce attack, the Jianzhou Army will definitely be in chaos.
Similarly, if one's own actions are not decisive enough, not secretive enough, and not sudden enough, giving the Jianzhou Army time to detect the situation and react, then one's own side will most likely be trapped in Fu'an Fort and can only serve as a nail. Although it can greatly restrain the Jianzhou Army, there is no possibility of making a surprise attack on the Jianzhou Army's rear, and this is exactly what Mao Wenlong hopes to achieve.
The more difficult and challenging it is, the more high Mao Wenlong's fighting spirit becomes. Only such a surprise victory can be regarded as a miracle, and only then can he be qualified to compete for the position of deputy commander-in-chief.
Mao Wenlong even heard a different meaning from Commander Feng, which was that in the future, Dingliao Right Guards, Jinzhou Guards, Fuzhou Guards, and even Gaizhou Guards could be used to set up a new military town, such as Dongjiang Town. .
Although he didn't say who should be the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but feel excited.
If I fight well in this battle, I can compete for the position of deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town. When the court really wants to set up Dongjiang Town in the future to monitor North Korea and copy the Jurchens' retreat in Jianzhou, then the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town will be Why can't I take the seat?
Just as Mao Wenlong and his troops were seizing the time to rest in Jiefan Village and Gule Village, Zhao Shujiao and You Shilu's troops here also started to launch a frontal offensive in full swing.
No matter how they launch a surprise attack, the Jianzhou Army lying across the Yi Road in front of them is the main force. If the foundation of the Jianzhou Army on this line is not shaken, Cao Wenzhao or Mao Wenlong's sneak attacks will not be effective.
Only when the frontal defense line is fought most fiercely and another sneak attack from the rear shakes its retreat, can the Jianzhou Army's front be truly shaken or even collapse. Feng Ziying understands this, Zhao Lejiao and You Shilu understand this.
At this time, it was time to launch a frontal attack regardless of casualties. The frontal field battle between the two armies
In fact, there are not too many tricks or tricks. It is nothing more than using one's own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses, maximize one's own advantages, reduce the opponent's advantages, and at the same time compete with the strength and fighting will of both sides. Easier than easier, various factors here are difficult to quantify, and countless variables may cause the battlefield situation to change from day to day.
Fortunately, Liaodong Town and Ji Town Army have always been key military towns favored by the imperial court. The supplement of firearms has always been a priority. However, due to the lack of financial resources of the imperial court, the supplement of Liaodong Town and Ji Town is still stretched, especially in the early northwest. The army's strategy for conquering Shandong was in urgent need of giving priority to equipment changes, so the replenishment of Liaodong Town was lagging behind.
But even so, the firearms equipment in Liaodong Town is still one of the best among the border towns, especially the earliest inferior three-eye firecrackers and other firearms have been completely eliminated, replaced by ordinary firecrackers, heavy firecrackers and a small number of self-generated firecrackers. Fireguns and artillery began to be equipped in battalion-level units.
The snow on the battlefield had already been trampled to pieces by the soldiers, and the vast white sky and earth were suddenly destroyed by the scattered black earth, making the entire beautiful landscape look extremely ugly. But soon God will add a more bleak and bloody red color to this landscape painting, making the entire landscape painting more violent and cruel.
Zhao led the teachings sitting on the horse, wearing a helmet and armor, with a solemn expression, and his eyes were like an eagle passing over the battlefield.
The Jianzhou Army on the opposite side has also formed its formation, and the cavalry mixed in the infantry formation began to become restless, obviously intending to use their best cavalry shooting to tear apart their own formation first.
But Zhao Shujiao is not afraid of the opponent's cavalry. Although the opponent's cavalry is very strong, the Liaodong cavalry is not bad at all. They are not at a disadvantage in the battle and can even have the upper hand. The opponent's real strength is the armored infantry, which is tough and tenacious. Brave and not afraid of death.
But now the fire musket soldiers in front of his formation have also lined up. Slightly taller than them are the two-person eagle-beak heavy musket soldiers. This is Zhao's trump card. After more than a year of hard training, Their shooting speed has been able to catch up with the reloading speed of ordinary firecrackers, but their shooting distance is more than twice as high.
A contemptuous and proud smile appeared on his thin cheeks.
The Liaodong Army still couldn't hold it in anymore. There were more than 10,000 people in Jun Song's tribe. If they kept dragging it on, even if they didn't attack Tieling Acropolis, they could trap and starve to death in Tieling Acropolis. inside.
At first, Er Yidu had no ambition to swallow the Juniper Department in one go, so he planned to drive the Juniper Department all the way south, taking as many bites as he could. After all, Juniper was considered a rare veteran in Liaodong Town. The troops in his hands do not have an absolute advantage, but who would have thought that this guy would dare to arrogantly stand in Tieling Guard City and pretend to defend Tieling Guard without taking a look at the current situation?
Since the Juniper Department refuses to leave, E Yidu will certainly not tolerate the other party. If he cannot seize such a God-given opportunity, then his life's battles will be in vain.
The Great Khan formulated a strategy of encircling the points and calling for reinforcements, trapping Juniper's troops in the Tieling Guard City. Juniper led his troops to rush out several times, but was beaten back by his own side unhurriedly.
It can neither make Juniper think that this is an iron wall and lose its determination to break through and defend it wholeheartedly, nor let it think that it can break through easily and break through more fiercely, which will cause too much damage to its own side.
Just like this, the longer the delay, the lower the morale of Jun Song's army and the weaker their will to fight, which will be conducive to annihilating this unit and taking the Tieling Acropolis in the future.
Now it seems that this strategy is right. After two months, the Juniper Department has been worn out of temper, morale has dropped sharply, and combat effectiveness has also been visibly weakened. Everyone predicts that if it drags on for another month, Tieling will The acropolis can be taken without a fight.
But the only thing I didn't expect was that Zhou's reinforcements came so quickly and decisively, and they dispatched the northern army, mainly the Jizhen Army, to come for reinforcements. This suddenly increased the number of troops on our side who wanted to let go of the Yilusuo and Honghe lines. There was pressure, but Er Yidu still felt that he was confident that through the same method, the setbacks Zhao Lijiao suffered before could be repeated on You Shilu's Jizhen Army.
Er Yidu didn't know that Zhao Lijiao had also made up his mind this time and pulled out all his old friends. The previous battle was more like a pre-dinner meal. The two sides fought fiercely for several times, but the Liaodong Army did not
Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of achievements, the Jianzhou Army also fought vigorously, making the battle situation ugly.
But things are different now. Feng Ziying came in person holding Shang Fang's sword. Even Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong had to go to the battle in person to supervise the battle, ordering their elite men to attack Hu Erhan's defense regardless of losses.
Yi, if Zhao Lijiao still dares to preserve his strength or be timid in this situation, then Feng Ziying may really have to kill him in battle to establish his power.
As the dull drum beat sounded, the formations of both sides began to change. The armored infantry of the Jianzhou Army began to move forward slowly. At the same time, the infantry formations of the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army also began to move closer to the center, and the spears on both sides Binghe began to shrink slightly, forming a curved arc.
At this time, the right-wing cavalry of the Jianzhou Army had begun to run. They continued to speed up in front of the formation, like a sharp sickle, passing in an arc a hundred steps away from the front of the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army.
As the Jianzhou cavalry continued to approach the infantry formation, with a sharp whistle, the cavalry drew their bows and arrows, and arrows rained into the sky.
This is the most powerful projectile attack of the Jurchen cavalry, and it is also their specialty.
