The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 97 Advance to the Central Plains

The mountain roads of Maguan are named because of the steep mountain roads and war horses often fall down here. This shows that the situation occupied by this pass is dangerous. Compared with the pass, it is a three-story foreign-style building and adobe house, which is not only a defensive measure.

Complete, and the city walls are all made of stones, filled with pebbles in the middle, and several miles of walls were built along the ridge, and heavy troops were also laid out. Although they cannot be compared with a strong city like Yanjing and Kaifeng,

But it is not a little better than Blackstone Ridge Castle.

Zhao Lian led the front army to attack immediately after arriving. The Jin army guarding the pass seemed to know the power of the Xijing army. No matter how scolded, he would not go out of the city to fight and swear to the end. Zhao Lian had no choice but to attack the city.

However, it is narrow and difficult to stretch out your hands and feet before the pass, and lacks siege equipment. The rapid-fire cannons mainly equipped by the Dragon Cavalry Brigade are relatively small in power and cannot cause substantial damage to the city wall.

The Xijing Army attacked the gate several times. When the artillery fire stopped, it set up a ladder to attack the city. The enemy rushed out from behind the gate wall. Thousands of arrows were fired, and the big stones were smashed down. The Xijing Army attacked the city.

He suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat and it was difficult to break through. The next day, Zhao Lian changed his tactics, attacked head-only, and detoured on the flanks, wanting to do something on the wall.

But the wall is built on a ridge, and the hillside in front of the wall is either renovated into a steep slope, or the original steep mountain is used, and ice and snow are everywhere, so it is very difficult to climb. The wooden and stones laid down by the Jin army rolled down.

The soldiers who were in a hurry to avoid being smashed and flew across the walls, and Zhao Lian, who was supervising the battle, was so anxious that he was full of bubbles.

On the third day, Zhao Qiong arrived with the central army, but before the fall of Maguan was captured, he stepped forward to check and frowned. This time, because he walked on the mountain road, it was snowy and snowy. Therefore, the heavy artillery battalion of the artillery brigade did not have

It is difficult to achieve the goal by following the way of breaking through the pass by cannon. The entire path is cut off by the pass and cannot be detoured. Therefore, there is only one way to attack.

Now it is too urgent. If the craftsman is good at doing things, he must first sharpen his tools. Zhao Jie checked and ordered the craftsman battalion to make siege equipment overnight to make siege vehicles, and logged wood to build several five-meter-long buildings in front of the pass.

The high platform exceeded the height of the wall, and machine gun positions were arranged on the high platform to provide cover for the siege troops from a high place.

After dawn, when the Jin army inside the pass felt cold when they saw the platform erected in front of them. They realized that today would be a fierce battle. But the battle was far more tragic than they thought. This battle was made by the Xijing Army.

The infantry brigade and a dragon cavalry brigade attacked the city and the side wall at the same time, and gunfire sounded loudly throughout the valley.

The defending Jin army knew that the Xijing army used the tactic of blooming on all sides, but had no use of the key points of attack, but they were all the key points. They could only disperse the limited troops to defend everywhere like pepper, and even sent the reserve team to the ground.

Go up!

"Prince, we have attacked the wholesale without any focus. Wouldn't we betray the military ranks?" Zhao Lian asked in confusion as he looked at Dao Maguan, who had been stolen into a pot of porridge.

"The enemy is on the defensive and has a good geographical advantage, and when both of us have equal troops, what do you plan to do if we want to gain a local advantage?" Zhao Qi asked back.

"The prince means that a full-scale attack is just to mislead the enemy from multiple sides, forcing the enemy to divide the troops, making the zhong yāng empty. Then take advantage of the opportunity to attack and break through with a quick attack!" Zhao Lian glanced at the siege cars hidden behind the mountain and attacked the city."

The car understood a little.

"Yes. Any excellent war is about methods. Sometimes we pretend to be a large-scale attack in a certain place. We use it to confuse the enemy, and then suddenly launch an attack in another place, catching the enemy off guard; sometimes we can also conduct it multiple times.

Feint attack to paralyze the enemy and cover up the real offensive action!" Zhao Qiong said.

Zhao Lian's failure this time was because of the rigid tactics. If he was correctly dispatched, he could complete the task with the forces of two brigades. However, he did not fully utilize his advantages, but instead followed the old rules and used the traditional mature tactics of the Loyal and Brave Army but did not know how to adapt.

, resulting in failure.

"Prince, my subordinates have been taught. Please punish me to punish me to conscientiously punish military discipline!" Zhao Lian said ashamed after hearing this. Although the prince did not scold him, he felt uncomfortable.

"Oh, you can't blame you all. In recent years, you have been away from the battlefield and have lost the opportunity to exercise and study. You have to use your brain more in the future and not just rely on your old capital!" Zhao Qiong said with a sigh.

"Yes, Prince, I understand!" Zhao Lian hurriedly said, "At this moment, he also understood one thing. The prince sent troops in two groups this time, which was to verify that Zhao Yong was the one who said just now, and attacked with great fanfare with Zhao Yong.

The city plundered the land and would inevitably attract the attention of the Jin army, forcing them to divide their troops. However, they would cover up their secret sneaking along the way. Once they achieved their goal, they would successfully cut off the retreat of the Jin army to the south. In fact, they were the real main force.

"Don't stand there, start attacking. This time, if you fight well, you will be punished with punishment. If you don't fight well, you will be punished with punishment for both crimes!" Zhao Qi smiled and said to Zhao Lian.

"Yes, I will fulfill my mission!" Zhao Lian said for a moment. He thought that he had deprived the command of the prince because he failed to seize the pass. Unexpectedly, the prince still trusted him as usual.

Zhao Qi got on the car and looked at the city gate. The only quiet front of the pass was already lively. First, ten rapid-fire cannons concentrated their firepower to target the city gate and fired continuously. After all, compared with the high walls, the city gate was the most broken.

In the weak place, the city gate that had covered the iron under continuous bombardment had already fallen. The enemy generals on the city hurriedly asked the soldiers to go down to the city to block the city gate and prepare for the competition.

At this moment, the mortar battalion of the artillery brigade spoke. They raised the angle of elevation and shot the flowering bullet into the pass. The city wall was narrow and the hit rate was low. But now the enemy troops were concentrated under the city that were preparing to compete with the Xijing army for the city gate.

Just throw grenades into the crowd, blowing up a large piece of them!

At the same time, the machine guns on the high platform also began to scream, and the dense projectiles were tilted towards the city, killing the defenders on the city. At this chaotic moment, three siege cars came on stage.

Then, with the push of the soldiers, quickly approaching the city wall.

At this moment, the defenders were suppressed by the fierce firepower of artillery and machine guns on the city and under the city. The enemy troops everywhere were also restrained by the Xijing army. They saw the siege cars approaching but were helpless. The siege cars quickly approached.

Stopped in the moat, the soldiers pushing the cart pulled the rope together. The folded bridge board was pulled up and fell down and hung on the top of the city. The iron hook was hung on the chassis and a flying bridge was built!

"Run!" Zhao Lian waved the flag and sent out a signal of general attack. The sound of guns and cannons came to an abrupt end, but he remembered the rapid sound of horse hooves. A group of dragon riders rushed up to the top of the city along the flying bridge, and those who avoided artillery fire were avoiding the fire.

As soon as the defenders showed up, they were slashed open by the sabers of dragon riders who were riding along the horse path!

The dragon cavalry seized the city and immediately divided the troops into two groups, rushing along the horse path to the wall, and chopping the defenders like tigers entering a flock of sheep. The wall can only allow two cavalry to travel side by side, and the defenders on the city cannot avoid it.

He had to retreat, otherwise he would have to jump into the city and die; the other way was the dragon cavalry, and he rode his horse down to the city, dispersed the enemy guarding the gate, cleared the traffic jams blocked at the door, and opened the city gate...

The Xijing army took the opportunity to capture Daoma Pass, and there was no dangerous pass in front of him. The small group of enemy troops in front were powerless to stop, and they were simply fleeing. The Xijing army kept moving fast all night. When the sun rose again, Zhao Qi suddenly appeared on the horse.

As soon as they had broadened their horizons, they had already walked out of the mountains and entered the plains, and Zhongshan Mansion was ahead!

………

Song minister Fan Zhixu conquered Tongguan, and the Song people's reinforcements gradually gathered from all directions, and they led their troops into the capital. This caused uneasiness among the Jurchens. Zonghan sent thousands of troops to meet the enemy and met Fan Zhixu's front army in Mianchi.

The Jurchen cavalry launched a charge, and the Song army was defeated, and all the supplies were lost, and nearly half of them were killed or injured. Fan Zhixu was frightened when he heard the news and hurriedly fled, and there was no way to talk about rescue of the capital.

But when the gourd was pressed, the Jin army went south to three cities of Heyang, and the Song army fled to Luoyang to an emergency. At that time, the guards of Luoyang were Wang Xiang, the left-behind Xijing and the commander of the Western Road capital. He had 30,000 troops under him. If he was defending him, he would be defending him to the death.

, It is not necessarily a loss, but this person is quite unemployed and plans to abandon the city. Before leaving, he asked Zhai Xing, a native of Yiyang, to defend Luoyang, and he led 30,000 troops to retreat, and Luoyang was occupied by the Jin soldiers.

The two brothers Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin were just lower-level officers in the Song army. However, in the critical moment of Luoyang, these two people were brave enough to recruit Yichuan, Ruyang and Songxian people to form the "Zhongyi Army in West Henan" to defend Luoyang.

They tried every means to deal with the powerful Jin soldiers.

Zhai Xing adopted the tactic of detouring westward, first went to Tongguan, met with Song Jinglushi Fan Zhixu, so that the troops were slightly increased, and then led the troops to the east. Zhai Jin brought a small group of troops to defeat the Jin soldiers in Fuchang. At that time, the people of Luoyang were all in the country.

I have never seen the Jin soldiers. I have both hated and feared when I saw the Jin soldiers and cavalry. However, this battle in Yiyang broke the myth of the invincible Jin soldiers.

The Zhongyi Army in western Henan has grown up its ambitions. Zhai Jin and Zhai Xing armies met to join forces and prepared to fight again, but after all, the rebels were less than a thousand, so they dared not make a big fuss, so they walked at night and hid in the morning, and took five days.

Then he arrived in Luoyang to start a night battle. The Jin soldiers underestimated the enemy and were not prepared. As a result, they were broken into the city by the rebels, killed Gao Shiyou, the Jin Dynasty's Xijing left behind, and recovered Luoyang, and then the rebels defeated a part of the Jin soldiers in Yiyang. The morale was so strong that they defeated them.

Da Jing…

The news of Luoyang's relapse reached Kaifeng. Although Zong Han was a little surprised, he was not worried that a group of brave men would never be the opponent of the Jin army. What made him worried was the Xijing army that was quickly heading south, and they were coming towards Luoyang.

Once the Xijing army is allowed to take the lead in seizing Luoyang and control the ferry, those who are still on the Yellow River will fall into a passive position.

After Zong Han and Han were reluctant to discuss, they decided to send troops to retake Luoyang immediately before the Xijing army controlled Luoyang, but who to send was a big problem. The Xijing army was not the soft persimmons of the Song army. At this time, the two of them were

At the same time, I thought of a person - the fourth prince Wanyan Wushu... To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
