The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Zhao Qi came up today to criticize his subordinates, and made them speechless, but this was definitely not because he was the emperor bullying others, but it was a fact that he was a reasonable and well-founded without any water.

) While convinced them, they also understood what it means to see the essence through phenomena. They knew that the boss's pair of ignorant eyes that could not rub the sand, but they didn't know how much effort Zhao Qi put into secretly.

Zhao Qi still understood the truth that "no investigation and research can lead to no say" when he arrived at Fuhulin. In fact, when he arrived at Fuhulin, he thought of looking at the boundary and looking at the defense line that Wu Shu spent a lot of energy and thought to design, but his suggestions immediately aroused everyone's attention.

Unanimously opposed. This time, the emperor did not insist on his own actions, but accepted everyone's opinions in a humble manner and did not mention the border patrol. Every day, he either hunted and feasted with a group of Khitan legacy or reviewed

Exercise plan, visit the army to inspect combat preparations.

But there is nothing that Zhao Qi wants to do. He openly accepted everyone's advice, but secretly went to Chen Cang. He used everyone's trust in himself, saying that he often hunted but often took prey.

After being driven to the border, the inspectors often went to border posts across the river from the Jin Kingdom, and walked through the hundreds of miles boundary line with various excuses and carefully surveyed the terrain.

For those who were not looking far, Zhao Qi used his good personal relationship to privately instruct Zhang Kui to lead the "Night Bat" team to infiltrate the other side of the boundary trenches for cross-border reconnaissance, so as to understand the internal structure of the castle along the border, the attached troops and weapons and equipment.

The configuration. Zhang Kui lived up to his trust. Not only did he figure out what Zhao Qi wanted, he also got the defense map of a section of the boundary trench in Dading Mansion without anyone noticing. Of course, Zhang Kui also "blame" himself from the emperor.

Things to want - a batch of new daggers just created by Persian craftsmen.

Zhao Qiong understood the basic structure and defensive layout of the boundary trench through what he saw with his own eyes and what he found in the reconnaissance. This time, he led a group of military generals across the river in the name of the survey exercise field, and it was too late to stop them.

.I can only follow the emperor and become crazy. Unexpectedly, the emperor who was prepared had caught his braid and made him sarcastically. What's more important is that the emperor's tips were like enlightenment, allowing them to understand the enemy

Changes have been made, and what I have followed my past experience will be a crushing defeat...

"Look at your combat plan again, even if you can use artillery to blow up the gap and then use cavalry to break the city. Have you ever thought about it? The enemy has arranged barriers in the city to reduce the impact of the cavalry. And they

Then the infantry hidden behind the barriers can be used to block the cavalry that has lost speed, and use stone throwers to attack our subsequent reinforcements entering the city. The crossbowmen can kill and damage our army near the city. The formation of far, medium and nearly three layers of firepower

But these are only what we can see. There must be many obstacles and traps hidden behind the boundary trenches that we are not aware of. Rampant entry will only cause great casualties!” Zhao Qi said again.

"Your Majesty means that the Jin army has given up its cavalry advantage and instead uses the infantry to fight one after another to kill our attacking troops!" Zheng Ping said in surprise. He knew very well that the transformation of a unit was very difficult.

, especially for the Jurchens who came from nomadic peoples.

"Yes, the Jurchens recognized their weaknesses in failure and were brave enough to face them. When they realized that they could not win in the offensive, they absorbed our experience of using the Great Wall and the Hard City to deal with the cavalry and turned to us.

, It is exactly what we often say, "using his skills to control his strengths"!" Zhao Qi said leisurely. He also learned their tactics and tactics to deal with the cavalry of the nomadic peoples in the northwest. He formed the Israeli cavalry

The army that is the main force.

"Your Majesty means that we must also focus on changing our tactics to adapt to the changes of the enemy!" Zheng Ping said, he is not a stupid person. The emperor's meaning is already very clear, but he is still a little hesitant. After all, this is not a simple thing.

, especially giving up the skilled tactics that have been used for many years.

"Now the Jin army's strategy against us has changed from a full-scale offense to a full-scale defense. It has abandoned the model of large-scale field battles with us and wanted to block our offensive by building solid fortresses, while we are still using our inherent experience and

I think everyone has thought about the results of the combat mode responding to the enemy's changes!" Zhao Qi saw that everyone had already realized his painstaking efforts, and his tone turned slow.

"What Your Majesty taught me is that I have disappointed Your Majesty!" Zheng Ping apologized. Now he is the envoy of Dading and the head of a war zone. Now that this crisis occurs, he realizes that he has great responsibility.

.

"There are too many grudges between the Song and Jin dynasties, and in the end, we still need to understand it with a war. This war will be based on our siege and land grabbing as the main form of combat, and of course the Jin army will not completely give up its traditions.

The advantage of this is that field battles will still be used to cooperate with city battles, but the intensity and scale will be reduced, and more importantly, the main purpose of cavalry harassment and truncation of our transportation lines is the main purpose. Therefore, while retaining the strength of the strong cavalry, we must

Improving the combat skills of our city's offensive and defensive warfare, breaking through the boundary trenches is only the first step!" Zhao Qiong said, looking at the long boundary trenches.

"Your Majesty, I understand. The purpose of your organization of this autumn exercise is to study new tactics and new tactics through exercises, find out our shortcomings, and summarize the methods to break through the boundary trenches and barriers set by the Jin army, for the future

Battle lays the foundation!" Zheng Ping said solemnly.

"Well, I finally didn't waste my hard work! I have ordered the Zhenwei Fortress on the bank of Huangshui to be rebuilt according to the boundary trenches of the Jin army. At that time, I will personally lead 5,000 state troops and the First Guard Brigade to defend.

Here you are the commander-in-chief of the attacking party and leading the army to attack. If you can't catch it, you'll be ready to show me the gate!" Zhao Qi said with a smile.

"This... I will definitely capture Your Majesty's defense line!" The emperor's wicked smile aroused Zheng Ping's turbulent fighting spirit. He hesitated and bit his back teeth and said.

"Okay, now let's arch forward and see the reaction of the Jin army. Do you dare?" Zhao Qi said, and knocked his toes off the horse's belly. The war horse rushed forward and rushed down the earth beam.

Running to Hutun Castle, Zheng Ping and others shook their heads and smiled bitterly. This was not just asking for their own opinions. It was clearly pulling everyone onto the pirate ship, and in desperation, they also urged the horse to chase after him...

The autumn performance lasted for ten days, and the entire Huangshui River was shrouded in smoke. The emperor's state army led by the emperor used cold weapons as its main weapon, with only 8,000 troops. When the overall strength was at an absolute disadvantage, it fought against it.

The 50,000 imperial guards, whose main force was the enemy army, were beyond everyone's expectations.

Zheng Ping commanded the imperial guards with strong military strength and excellent weapons. Although he knew that the emperor was good at using troops, he turned his eyes and was just a trick. He had received the emperor's prompt earlier, fully estimated the difficulties he might encounter, and also carefully performed.

The arrangement was that he used artillery fire to attack the castle with force. But the emperor gave him a warning in the first battle. When the troops crossed the river and lost the cover of artillery fire, he sent "Tiefutu" to launch a raid.

The imperial guards immediately sent cavalry to fight. According to past experience, cavalry can easily break through the blockade of the Iron Futu with their long cavalry. However, this time it was difficult to work. The cavalry in the front row defeated the first column of the Iron Futu and then rode out.

The destruction can only continue to attack with the pistol and a long sword. The iron flounder that followed was wearing heavy armor and holding a long soldier. The power of the pistol was limited. If it was not hit by the vital point, even if it hit the target, it would not cause it to lose its combat power.

Their sabers can't beat long spears or big axes.

Due to the narrow battlefield area, the first cavalry who failed to attack blocked the way forward of the back column. The cavalry that lost the rapid impact and leveraged the force was difficult to pierce the opponent's armor. Instead, the formation was in chaos under the opponent's chopping and impact and gradually lost

After going down, the imperial guards crossing the river could only support them in close combat, and the power of the firearm was difficult to exert. However, the artillery that crossed the river was suddenly hit by the heavy rock-throwing machine of the defenders, and the bulky artillery could not be carried out on the pontoon bridge.

It hit hard.

After fierce battles, the imperial guards gradually stabilized their positions and cut and annihilate the invading "Iron Futu", but the defenders almost destroyed all the artillery of the attacking side at the expense of Iron Futu, causing them a considerable loss of troops.

The attacking party with artillery became a lame general, and its combat power was greatly reduced. The battlefield became a stage for the emperor to perform. He used solid fortifications and flexible tactics to deal with the attacking party. After the battle was carried out, the attacking party was still unable to do so after three angels.

Break through the outermost boundary trenches.

At this time of the battle, the generals watching the battle and the officers and soldiers participating in the performance understood that the attacking side had been defeated, and three days was enough for the defending side to receive reinforcements. The defending side whose troops and equipment were supplemented could not only continue to maintain combat effectiveness, but also have the opportunity to

The ability to launch a counterattack, and the possibility of the attacking party losing the artillery turning the situation is very slim. Everyone even believes that if the emperor receives reinforcements, he will never defend passively, and will find an opportunity to counterattack. It is unknown whether the attacking party can safely withdraw from the battlefield.

But I don't know if it was the emperor who intended to embarrass the imperial guards or wanted them to learn a profound lesson, so I did not order the exercise to end. Later, when the troops were damaged, he voluntarily withdrew from the outer defense line and retreated into the castle to defend it. He lost face.

All the imperial guards were ruthless, using wheel tactics, and ordered all the dragon cavalry to dismount and participate in the siege, hoping to consume the limited troops of the defender by relying on their military strength. After paying several times the price of the enemy, the attacking party finally filled the boundary.

The trench exploded and broke into the city for two more days.

The army, who thought they could fight quickly, found that what was waiting for them was a nightmare. The guards used various fortifications and traps that had been built and arranged to launch a battle of five days with them. The war reached this point.

, Everyone showed their abilities and tried their best. In the end, the defender finally exhausted his troops and ended the battle. The attacking party paid more than half of the casualties and had no power to fight again... (To be continued
