Lord of the House

Next, Lin Fu planned to let Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng spread out to the two wings along the Guoshui River and Chaobai River to keep in contact with the captives. Instead, he temporarily hid the most powerful Denghai town division in Jinhai and did not move. This Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng were naturally happy about the tactical arrangement twice, but they were extremely unhappy with Chen Zhuo.

Lin Fu asked the military to formulate a more detailed combat plan, and Chen Zhu went directly to Xingyuan to invite battle.

Chen Zhui was in the west base of the Duojin Sea, his left arm was injured by the splashing small half of the city wall bricks, he was bandaged, and rushed to the carriage to ask for permission.

Lin Fu hadn't had a good rest for several days. He took time to take a nap in the afternoon. There was no important thing. Zhou Bin, the supervisor of the Neiweidu, stopped Chen Zhe from going in, and Chen Zhe waited outside the yard angrily.

When Lin Fu woke up after a nap, he didn't pay any attention to Chen Zui. At dusk, he wanted to see if Gao Zongting and the others had drawn up a battle plan. Seeing that Chen Zui was still standing outside the courtyard gate, he couldn't help but lift his foot to kick him: "You idiot, you don't have time to go to the military to participate in the formulation of combat plans, don't go to the military medical bureau to see the wounded soldiers, there is a bird for blocking my door?"

"The last general is also a wounded number, so I came here to ask the lord to see it?" Chen Zhe was thick-skinned, and Lin Fie scolded him for just raising his injured arm to show Lin Fie.

Song Jia followed behind and pursed her lips and smiled, but there were several generals in the Huaidong Army, even Lin Fu was helpless. Lin Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry - he could only let Chen Zhuo follow him to the council room.

Gao Zongting, Wu Qi, Yang Yihang and others led the staff of the headquarters for most of the day, and Ge Cunxin, Yue Zhi and others were also busy with various military affairs.

Zhang Gou had just arranged the camping of his troops on the south bank of the Wushui River. When he came to the commanding office, he saw that Chen Zhudao was following Lin Fu, and he teased, "My lord, did you ever wish to fight? It's a good thing to get the record, you can't ask the Denghai town division to get it, and let the brother troops get a share of the pie!"

"Bullshit, Denghai Town Division has 200 artillery pieces. If you are not the main force, you will send your soft goddesses to fight Wang Dengtai Mountain. If there is a mistake, isn't it a major event?" .

"There's such a big quarrel, why don't you come and tell me how you will lead the first town division to fight on the south bank of the Eddy River?" Lin Fu took out a chair and sat down in front of the hall, interrupting Zhang Gou and Chen Zhuo's quarrel, and sent them to the Shout out to them and ask them what they think.

"We have already cleared the waterway that entered from the mouth of the vortex, and there is no major problem with the frigate entering the north of Wangdengtai Mountain. Ye Jiduodi should not give us a chance to fight near Wangdengtai Mountain," Zhang Gou said. You can go west along the Eddy River, but the further west you go, the narrower the river channel becomes, and the artillery support that the frigates actually entering the Eddy River can provide will become more and more limited. The counter-attack spying on our unit, the commander thought that since the artillery cannot concentrate its power, it should be restricted in use, and as long as the infantry can suppress its position, it will attack slowly in the west, and it will not be afraid of the attack of the captives..."

"Zhang Gou made peace with the military," Gao Zongting walked over and smiled, pointing at Chen Zhe and scolding, "You are a headless fly, looking for someone who couldn't find you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to block the lord. The gate of the courtyard is closed. The lord hides the Denghai Zhenshi in Jinhai now and does not need it. He plans to use the Denghai Zhenshi in the future. Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng are propped up from the two wings, and they actually want to protect the future attack Yan directly from Jinhai. The flanks of the main force in Beijing—so, are you relieved?"

"Let me play on the flanks now. If there is a need in the future, then transfer me to the middle lane. There is no problem at all." Chen Zhe didn't want to lose a fight.

"Stop messing around," Lin Fu interrupted Chen Zhuo and asked Gao Zongting, "Is the plan ready?"

Wu Qi brought over the next step in the use of troops, and Lin Fu took it and looked at it, and said to Chen Zhe and the others:

"The technology of artillery is far from being developed to a mature stage. An important reason for causing such great lethality to the captive soldiers is that the captive soldiers are far different from the traditional artillery that appears on the battlefield. , there is absolutely no opportunity and time to adapt, and as soon as they come up, they are thrown into chaos and caught off guard. The soldiers do not understand the characteristics of artillery, so naturally they will not have corresponding tactics. , also needs a process. Our current urgent thinking is not to give them the opportunity to adapt and learn lessons. Therefore, the artillery is either not used, or it is concentrated and used on the battlefield where it can kill a large number of enemy soldiers at one time... "

Lin Bie pointed at Chen Zhu and asked him, "Tell me, what should I do to kill a large number of enemy soldiers at one time..."

"If you want to kill a large number of enemy soldiers at one time, it is best to attract enemy soldiers to the frontal battlefield between Guoshui River and Chaobai River..." Chen Zui replied.

"You're not stupid," Lin Fu said angrily and hilariously, and patted the battle plan that Gao Zongting and the others spent most of the day drawing on the table, "This plan is to attract enemy soldiers to the Eddy River and Chaobai River. When the frontal battlefield between us comes up, you don’t come here to make plans, and you run back to the entrance of my yard to block the door, you are really promising!”

Chen Zhu forced Lin Fu, but he could read all the characters, picked up the battle plan, and excused himself: "I just thought that the commander-in-chief might be worried that Hugouzi would abandon their capital and escape from Yanjing, calling Zhang Zhang. Gou and Chu Zheng quickly outflanked the two wings..."

"Where will Hugouziqi flee to? Are you worried that they will flee to Datong?" Lin Fu asked, "That's just right, we can fight one less battle, what else should we worry about?"

Yanhu wants to abandon the capital at this time and flee to Liaodong. He must go west of Liaoning. The long and narrow corridor of west Liaoning is close to Bozhang. Even if there is a depth of thirty or forty miles, the Huaidong army can take the sea route to flank at any time - Yanhu goes to Liaodong. It was impossible, and they could only flee in the direction of Datong or Taiyuan.

Fleeing to Datong, although the Huaidong Army could not intercept it, Yanhu's troops would be completely divided because of this. To completely encircle and destroy the captive soldiers will also achieve the strategic intention of the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains.

In fact, even if Yanlu had the determination to abandon the capital and flee to the west, it was unlikely that they would give up their determination to fight in Shandong and Henan, after they abandoned the capital. Yanlu abandoned Yanjing and fled to the southwest and to Taiyuan, and there was a chance to join their troops in Shandong and Henan, while Lin Tie was in the Taihang Mountain to the east of Taiyuan, and prepared the Fuzi of the independent commander of Taihang Mountain for Yanlu. So I am not afraid that they will flee in the direction of Taiyuan.

The defeat of the Hejin naval battle and the tearing of the sea-locking line of defense, the generals of Yanlu were all beaten, and on the whole there was not enough time to reflect and summarize.

In less than seven or eight days, the Huaidong Army quickly opened the prelude to the Jinhai Landing Battle in a blitzkrieg manner.

The Yanlu did not abandon the Jinhai Sea, did not pull their troops to the hinterland far from the coast, but instead held on to the city regardless of the direct threat of the Huaidong battleship's guns, which was doomed to the demise of the 20,000 defenders.

Even if Huaidong's artillery technology is immature, nearly a thousand artillery pieces that have been cast in two years with the strength of the country are concentrated in this small battlefield, which is enough to cover up all the shortcomings.

It took Lin Fu two and a half years to carry out the Northern Expedition. After the official opening of the Northern Expedition, several island crossbow farms in Shengsi and Haizhou, the ammunition consumed by the test firing and drills, accounted for the Ordnance Supervisor so far. One and a half of the total amount of ammunition produced.

In addition to testing the performance of artillery and gunpowder, another main goal is to train a group of qualified gunners and artillery commanders through large-scale test firing and drills, so that the water infantry can master the use of artillery in complex naval and land battlefields. a tactic.

Perhaps the artillery tactics of the Huaidong Army at this time were not yet mature, but they were much better than the unsuspecting Yan soldiers. If you are prepared and unprepared, you still can't achieve the effect of breaking the bamboo and breaking down with one blow, so Lin Fu has been delayed for more than two years?

Of course, Lin Fu was also very aware of the shortcomings of the artillery equipped by the Huaidong Army at this time.

At this time, the Huaidong artillery could not precisely control the casting accuracy of the bore tube and the shell and the air tightness during firing, and the hit rate in the longitudinal direction was very low. The technology of flowering ammunition is immature, and the probability of exploding the chamber is very high, so it cannot be used in actual combat. Therefore, Huaidong currently only casts long-bore guns with a low and flat firing angle, and fires solid bullets horizontally to the enemy fortresses and dense enemy battle formations. Bomb kills, and close-range combat is dominated by shotguns.

Long-bore guns have strict terrain requirements and cannot attack targets behind obstacles, and their use in mountainous terrain is severely limited. Another, the long-bore cannons take a relatively long time to fire. Currently, the most well-trained gunners in Huaidong can only fire twenty cannons in an hour.

On the charge line of the enemy cavalry, no matter how well-trained the gunner is, he will only have the opportunity to fire one solid round and one shot.

Theoretically, as long as Yan Hu knew the characteristics of Huaidong artillery, pulled the main cavalry to the hilly terrain in western or northeastern Hebei, and used scattered and intermittent charge arrays, he could effectively suppress the tactical play of Huaidong artillery.

The main force of Yanhu's cavalry at this time has not suffered a major setback. Including Yandong, Yanxi, Xihu, and Northwest Yi tribes, the total number of Yanhu's cavalry is nearly 200,000, but they are scattered in various places:

There are still about 70,000 cavalry in Shandong and Henan defense lines, nearly 20,000 cavalry in Goryeo, 30,000 cavalry in Liaoyang and Liaodong in the northern capital, 30,000 cavalry in Jinzhong, Guanzhong and Yanxi and other places; The number of cavalry in Beijing and its periphery was only less than 50,000, which was almost the main force of Yanhu defending the capital.

Although the number of cavalry guarding Yanjing and its periphery at this time only accounted for a quarter of the total number of cavalry in Beiyan, the 50,000 cavalry accounted for 50% of the troops of the Donghu people in Yandong, that is, the Donghu people, the core force of Beiyan. above.

As long as there is a chance to eat these 50,000 cavalry, even if the royal family of Beiyan has the opportunity to lead the remaining 150,000 cavalry to flee west, it will be difficult to effectively control the Yanxi Zhuhu, The forces and troops of Xihu and the barbarian tribes in the northwest will give Huaidong more opportunities to divide Yanhu and defeat them.

To eat the fifty thousand captives to the west of Wang Dengtai Mountain, Yanjing and the periphery of Yanjing, they should lure them to the southeast of Yanjing, to the frontal battlefield between Yanjing and Jinhai, to block the muzzle of the Huaidong Army.

Lin Fu was determined to make Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng spread out to the two wings, and temporarily hid the Denghai town division in Jinhai for rest. The fundamental purpose was this.

The Huaidong Army prioritized the use of artillery for naval battles. Only the Denghai Town Division of the army was equipped with three crossbow battalions and 200 artillery pieces on a large scale.

Zhang Gou and Chu Zheng spread out to the two flanks and made contact with the captive cavalry to the west of Wangdengtai Mountain and on both sides of the Chaobai River. The purpose was to limit the opportunity of the captive cavalry to contact artillery and understand artillery tactics in the field.

When the reserve soldiers and horses are transferred from the sea route, they will cooperate with Denghai Town to directly approach Yanjing City from the middle route. choose.

Lin Fu was not worried that as time passed, there would be more captives rushing to help Yanjing.

The advantage of cavalry lies in mobility, in the priority of battlefield selection. On the frontal battlefield between Yanjing and Jinhai, the Huaidong Elite Infantry Brigade has warships on both flanks and artillery in the formation, so there is no need to worry that this formation will be overwhelmed by the enemy cavalry.

If the main force of the enemy cavalry does not have a decisive battle on the frontal battlefield between Yanjing and Jinhai, the Huaidong Army will concentrate on advancing to Yanjing City; My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
