The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 208: Offensive and defensive strategies

Ma Wei has been very depressed these days. He thought that this time he landed with the emperor behind enemy lines would go through the war, which would make the Marines show their faces, but after landing in Self-Wantuan, they only had several battles with some small Jin troops.

It is said that the battle is suspected of giving on one's face, but it is more appropriate to say that it is a group fight. Often, when the gunfire sounds on one side, they will run away immediately, and they will be too fast to catch up.

Seeing that Pingzhou was taken down, the battle in Yanjing had ended, the emperor said that the reinforcements of the Jin Dynasty had not appeared. Seeing that the companions from the past commanded thousands of troops to capture the city and plunder the land, Ma Wei

It really feels bad in my heart. I, the deputy commander of the navy, look quite glorious, but not as valuable as a brigade leader of each general. I can't stand up anywhere without military achievements in the army. But who told me not to stay with the emperor

Go to the Marines by your side!

After the Khitan occupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Yuguan quickly declined from its past military status. It had few rests in two hundred years. It abandoned the pass and turned into an old house with air and rain.

Wei knew very well that his Marines lacked horses and heavy weapons. Without the cover of fleet artillery, he was a light infantry and could not engage in large-scale field battles and confrontations with the Jin army. Moreover, after the formation of the land brigade, he lacked large-scale offensive and defensive wars.

The combat experience has become more prominent after the expansion of the army.

Although the combat effectiveness and experience of the troops can be enhanced through rigorous training and frequent exercises, no matter how good the troops trained on the battlefield are, they cannot become a real soldier. Because Ma Wei understands the innate shortcomings of his own troops, he knows that once the emperor is, he knows that the emperor has no choice but to be a real soldier.

The prophecy came true, so there was no perfect defense system and solid city defense fortifications. The land brigade could not stop the attack of the Jin army's large army, and even if it was blocked, it would pay a huge price. So Ma Wei had a little thought in his mind.

The work of defensive measures was not at all careless, and he did not talk about it personally. In order to hurry, he even "mobilized" local people to join.

After intense construction, all the checkpoints controlled by the Marine Corps were completed. Not only were all fortifications, but a large amount of combat materials were also hoarded. The people who were responsible for transporting the troops and materials at the time were all naval fleets, and they were engaged in some pragmatism.

It's normal to be convenient. But now everyone regrets it. The expected war has not happened. The things I got from hard work cannot be consumed and I have to find a way to send them back...

"The Jin army reinforcements set out forty thousand arrogantly and Liaodong and arrived today. They suspected that they wanted to enter the aid from Yu Pass. Your headquarters immediately strengthened reconnaissance, properly allocated troops to prepare for the enemy, dragged the enemy down for the army, and annihilated the enemy's army, and wiped out the enemy's army.

Fight for time!" Ma Wei was excited as he looked at the emperor's orders and finally waited for them.

"I ordered the scout camp to go out of Yu Pass for hundreds of miles to detect the enemy situation, and send a team every two hours to report it immediately; I ordered the first brigade to hand over the defense of Yingzhou to the local volunteers, and the entire brigade will set off troops to Yu Pass tomorrow; I sent the order to 2

Brigade and the third brigade units entered combat readiness and immediately responded to the enemy's troops and prevented the Jin army from attacking the pass!" After Ma Wei was excited, he immediately entered the state. According to the time of the order, he estimated the position of the enemy and took several routes in succession.

The order was made. He left Yingzhou first and went to Yuguan.

The enemy reinforcements reached 40,000, while his three brigades and their direct teams were less than 10,000, so their troops were at an absolute disadvantage. There were only more than 2,000 defenders of Yu Pass. Ma Wei saw from the order that the attack was attacked.

The troops in Yanjing have been fighting for more than a month and have been in short supply of troops and horses, and have to go into rest and recuperate. They will not send reinforcements for the time being. The most wonderful thing is the word "drag". It clearly tells him not to ask for annihilation of the enemy. He only asks for

Keep the pass and attract the enemy there. As for what the emperor has to do behind it, it is not something that Ma Wei can guess thoroughly...

Two days later, a team of ten thousand people from the enemy's front army arrived outside Yuguan City. They saw that the dilapidated Yuguan had been renovated. From the past, which was only more than one zhang high, the wall suddenly rose to two zhang, and the wall was inserted everywhere.

The flags were filled with dense soldiers, and I couldn't help but feel confused. Because the Song army was well-known for fighting, the team on the city was even more different from the Song army uniforms in the past, and the Jin army, who could not understand the strength of the defenders, did not dare to

Launch an attack and retreat to Wuli to wait for the arrival of the central army.

In fact, what the enemy saw was Ma Wei's suspicious plan. He had great ability and could not increase the city wall that was several miles long in one month. The only thing he really built was the front wall that was attacked by the enemy.

The rest of the place is piled with sandbags, and then used the cold weather of the twelfth lunar month to freeze it with water, but its strength is no less than that of stone-made plates. There are only 5,000 defenders in the city, and most of them are wearing military uniforms.

The straw men used their clothes that were not familiar with the Song Dynasty naval army to fool them.

But what should come will come eventually. The Jin army troops arrived one after another, and the commander Wanyan Alu sneered. He raised an army with Taizu in his old age and joined the army to fight. Because he was more wise and good at defeating the crowd with less

, often as a vanguard, and had great achievements in destroying Liao and attacking Song, and was promoted to the commander of the Dading Prefecture. It was precisely because of this that he was elected as the commander of reinforcements by Zong Han. Although Yu Pass in front was repaired, the city wall was

It is only two feet high, with no trenches outside, surrounded by moats. In the eyes of Alubu, which has countless sieges, Yuguan is like a paper-paste clay sculpture, and it is easy to capture it.

Facing the aggressive Jin army, Ma Wei shrank his defense, gave up the periphery, and concentrated his main force in the gate. The reason why he chose to retreat to the city was because of the huge gap in the troops between the two sides, he had no cavalry, and basically had no chance of winning in field battles. Second, Yu Pass

The terrain is dangerous, so they can rely on the city defense to wait for work. More importantly, he knew that reinforcements would not arrive in the near future, so he could only rely on the city defense to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible, so he gave the emperor time to make the next strategy.

Alubu also knew that Yuguan was far away from the heart of the Song Dynasty, and the main force of the Song army was fighting fiercely in Yanjing. It was impossible to send a large number of reinforcements to rescue Yuguan in a short period of time, so he let go of his hands and attacked the city. The Jin army quickly formed a formation and flocked to the city.

Before the general attack, Alu played a psychological warfare first, but saw the Jin army disheveled their hair and holding colorful flags to shout into the city. This may have been inspired by the "divine weapons" sent by the Song army in Bianjing that year, and thought that

The people of Song all believed in ghosts and gods, and they might collapse instantly when they saw their "demon soldiers". After they were so troubled, the defenders on the city were first shocked, and then burst into laughter. Who can compare to their emperor when pretending to be a god?

"Crackling" There was a burst of guns in the city, and a large area of ​​"demon soldiers" who were acting fell down, and the rest scattered. This added some jokes to the Song army in the city and relieved their nervousness. Alu added

Seeing that this plan failed, the team was rectified for a while and began to attack the city. They used the shield hands as a cover. The archers shot arrows and suppressed the Song army at the top of the city. Behind them was a commando with a ladder. However, Yuguan City

His head was silent as if he was dead. Just as the Jin army was surprised, a short horn sounded, and dense bullets shot out from the battlements and arrow holes in the city, knocking down hundreds of holes in one go!

Alu Bu knew that it was really impossible not to come. In order to quickly break through the barrier, he divided the main force into three groups, attacked the city in turn, trying to drag down the defensive forces of the defenders. This kind of 'wheel battle' looks stupid, but he can exert his military advantage.

, is a fatigue tactic of more attacks and fewer attacks. The Jin army's attacks were constantly day and night, and the defenders were exhausted to deal with them, and their morale gradually weakened. Ma Wei adopted a rotating strategy in a tit-for-tat way. The two brigades took turns to defend, while they were in charge.

The commander at the city was there, and he was in a position of living and dying. "They were determined to die, and the soldiers were not greedy for life." Ma Wei's move greatly encouraged his subordinates and resisted the Jin army's turn

The impact did not allow the Jin army to get close to the city.

Seeing that it was too hard, Alu started to play with technical means. They relied on their large numbers of people and used strong bows and crossbows to shoot the defenders in the city. This was a way to suppress the shooting density by enhancing the shooting density.

The enemy's defense intensity method. Ma Wei smiled when he saw this. Can your archer shoot more quickly and farther than others? He immediately ordered a battle shed on the city to block the arrows and reduce the number of arrows being shot.

Injury, the machine guns of the two brigades' machine gun battalions were adjusted to the top of the city wall to increase firepower, and a "tuk" broke up the Jin army's archers!

The siege method to enhance firepower failed, but Alu Bu was not discouraged. He still had tricks! In ancient times, when siege, the earthen mountains were often built to shoot the enemy from a high place, and to mobilize troops to cover up the mountain. Yuan Shao was then

During the Battle of Guandu, dozens of earthen mountains were built to siege Cao Cao. Alubu learned this from somewhere, and made the same move and ordered soldiers to build earthen mountains in front of the pass.

Ma Wei didn't want to give the Jin army this opportunity. The mountain was built, and even if he used cannons, he could not level him, and the power of the musket would be greatly reduced. It turned out that there were two enemy buildings for observation in the city gate, although it was a year.

The disrepair has collapsed, but the building foundation is still there. Ma Wei ordered the craftsmen in the army to use wood to build a wooden building on the platform, increase the height, and build temporary fortifications on it, so that it exceeds the height of the earthen mountain outside the pass.

This trick "using high" makes the Jin army outside the pass miserable, because the method of building a soil mountain is to accumulate construction. To increase the height of the soil mountain, not only expand the foundation, but also consolidate the main body of the soil mountain. As long as the horse is powerful and moves up the enemy's building, it is necessary to increase the height of the soil mountain.

If you add a layer of wooden boards and scaffolding, Alu has to fill the entire dirt mountain, which is obviously not worth the loss, and the dirt mountain plan has also failed.

"Even if you bind the sky on the building, I should pass through the ground to get my son!" Alu Bu is definitely not an ordinary person who retreats when he sees difficulties. When he fails, he has another plan and yells loudly at the top of the city.

After slapping, this was full of passion, but it had no IQ. The person on the other side was confused or full of confidence. How could he tell the enemy his plan? Isn't this arbitrary death... (To be continued...
