I became the son of Renzong

At first, he didn't think that trenches played much role in the current war. After all, they were the product of the boom of hot weapons, and they were mainly used for firearms.

He just mentioned it by accident, but he didn't expect that this thing was really imitated in the guard camp...

Guo Kui rode a horse and charged from two miles away... This is basically the practice of Xixia cavalry.

But... this can't be rushed at all!

There are ravines, such trenches that seem to be a bit of a formation, criss-crossing, and it is impossible for war horses to charge in front of the main trench. Even if they charge over, they will fall into a situation where there are trenches everywhere, and cavalry is not as good as infantry.

This is a bit interesting.

Guo Kui and Gao Zunyu once again acted as defenders.

Lie down on the pile of rammed earth and look out, you can draw your bow and set an arrow while squatting halfway, and you can even directly attack the lower body when the horse is prancing.

Once encountering an irresistible situation, soldiers can quickly enter the trench, through this winding trench, whether it is to gather counterattacks or return directly to the city, it is quite convenient, and there is no need to worry about arrows being injured.

As for being trampled by a horse's hoof, it is even more impossible.

With such dense and irregular trenches, the horses couldn't get up to speed at all.The point is that the distance between the trenches does not seem to allow a leap of the horse.

The cavalry impact actually has a lack of vision, and it is often impossible to take care of objects on the ground and below the ground.This is why horse traps are often used.

And this trench perfectly combines defense and attack.

With trenches, not to mention the firearms of the new army, the long knives and spears of the western army can double the combat power in defense.

At this time, Guo Kui also understood why the headquarters let them stay with [-]% of the West Route Army and retreat all the rest... He thought he was going to abandon the captured Gaolan. It turns out that [-]% of the soldiers can do a good job in safety Gaolan's city guard, and persisted until the army supported.

The same is true for the Eastern Route Army.

The soil layer is a trench, and when it meets a stone layer, the craftsmen of the workshop city just clean the stones casually, pile them up randomly, and then pour them with cement...

Zhong Er and Zhe Jizu were really impressed.

This kind of fortification was originally recruited by civilians, and it took at least three to five months to complete the defense of the workshop city in the past half a month.

A large number of craftsmen came and left.And the entire Eastern Route Army, [-] to [-] soldiers, also began to implement the military order of the front-line command to retreat in batches, and arrived at the wilderness and mountains deployed by the front-line command to stand by.

This is another confusing military order.

With the ten-kill order, no matter how doubtful you are, you must execute it to the letter.

If it was in the early years, if Zhong Er ordered, the general on the Zhe family's side might ask a few more words.

If the civil servants ordered it, the entire military commander would be passive and sabotage.

But now, the entire new army is supervised, ready to enforce battlefield discipline at any time, and Zhong Er and Zhe Jizu have been shocked by the new army's main force.

For any order of His Royal Highness, there is no way to raise the heart of opposition and resistance... In fact, the whole Western Army is like this.

The results of the previous battles have made them clearly realize the gap between the new army and their western army... It is not comparable, not only in equipment, but also in combat power.

The new army is also all infantry, but as far as the battle in the Jialu River Basin is concerned, they can turn all the camps within a radius of thirty miles into a surprise attack.

Surrounding points to fight for aid, night raids and riots, forced landings in besieged cities, etc., the fights seemed to be disorderly, but the results were astonishing again and again.

Even Zhong Er and Zhe Jizu, the heirs of the family of military generals, were also intimidated by Cao Lin's wave after wave of dazzling battles.

The key point is that the border of the country has advanced a hundred miles, and the loss of the new army is less than a hundred people.

It's just kind of a general of the Western Army who is good at attacking. To conquer the Jialu River Basin, at least nearly [-]% of the soldiers will be lost. This is the judgment after the equipment is upgraded.

If the pure Western Army can lose less than [-]%, he can scream up to the sky.

But this new army...

All things related to His Royal Highness cannot be judged by common sense... This sentence was passed on among the courtiers and workers, and Zhong Er finally had a deep understanding.

Chapter 335 Incomprehensible Military Order

It has been five days since Xiao Guan saw the Xixia people besieging the city, and it has been three days since he just repelled the Xixia people's siege.

After the first day of testing, the Xixia people began to attack the city.

"That's Poxi Army..."

When the Xixia cavalry opened a passage and saw pieces of siege equipment appearing, they knew that the Poxi army was coming.

"They are Han Chinese!"

Liu Wu emphasized this sentence.

"What about the Han people? Those who don't take their country and ancestors seriously are not even considered human, no matter who they are!"

"Fight for Xixia, be a Xixia soldier, then he is a Xixia thief!"

This is Zhao Xi's theory, and it is backed up by sages: When barbarians enter China, China will live; when China enters barbarians, barbarians will follow.

Zhao Xi found that in this era, people's identification with the nation is higher than the identification with the country.

This is also an extension of the clan concept.

Therefore, Zhao Xi vigorously promoted the concept of family and country in the guard camp, and also established a sense of identity with the country in the new army.

Therefore, for the guard battalion and even the new army, they don't care about race, they only consider whether they are from the imperial court.

Not to mention the Poxi army's siege ability, because the new army didn't give them a chance to fiddle with the siege.

Those catapults, ladders, and cowhide boxes that don’t know whether they work or not, at the moment of starting preparations, a pile of gunpowder bombs flew directly over... still want to attack the city?Well, fill in your life!

And then there was Zhuang Linglang...

"They are Han Chinese!"

"Fart Han people! They are attacking the city for the Western thieves! If Commander Liu delays the fighter plane, I don't mind enforcing battlefield discipline!"

Whether he dies or dies himself, this is not an embarrassing choice.

In the Western Army, perhaps they were affected by the pedantry of the civil servants. When they faced their own people, even if they were attacking the city for Xixia, they sometimes couldn't bear it.

And such thoughts often miss the most appropriate time to attack in hesitation.

He has already fought for Xixia. Could it be that you asked him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors during the war?

The kingly way can only be implemented on the basis of hegemony.

"There are mountain people and villagers nearby!"
