I became the son of Renzong

"The last generals believe that soldiers with high riding skills should be selected, dressed in Xixia costumes, and quickly rush to the city gate...~And most of the soldiers should take advantage of the night and sneak in ambush at the blind spots where the sentinels are patrolling."

"When the cavalry broke through the city gate, the lurking soldiers mobilized... As long as they enter the city, with our equipment and training foundation, we have a great chance of winning street battles with the Xixia people in the city!"

This time, the teacher's attire is carrying several kinds of clothing for camouflage and stealth... ~ Zhong Jianzhong doubts that the officials will know that it will be like this.

What's more, every soldier of the new army will be trained in general camouflage.

Chapter 703 Shazhou

The trick is simple.

In fact, on the real battlefield, there are not many interlocking and exhaustive strategies.

The key to the success of such a simple strategy is: the city defense of the Xixia people has not yet become tense; several people in Zhongjian have detected a dead spot where soldiers can lurk in patrols; and the government has equipped them with camouflage clothing.

This seemingly simple strategy actually requires the establishment of many conditions.

If the cavalry under Dangjin Mountain hadn't been completely wiped out, if Xixia's cavalry had seen chariots, and if Xixia's cavalry had been alert and notified the Shazhou City Defense, such a strategy would not have succeeded.

On the sandbar, on one side is the Dangjin Mountain with thick snow, on both sides is the Gobi Desert where the snow has not yet melted, and on the other side is their own territorial passage of Xixia.

Who would have thought that Song Jun actually crossed Dangjin Mountain!

A chance led to many inevitability, and achieved the first siege of the Pianshi.

The number of soldiers that the sentinels can lurk in when patrolling blind spots is limited. After many discussions and calculations, the headquarters of the partial division selected [-] soldiers to undertake the task of ambush in advance and launch a siege.

From nearly [-] soldiers, more than [-] soldiers with excellent riding skills were selected...

At the same time, the headquarters agreed that, except for the soldiers who stayed behind to guard the chariots, all the others would move forward. After the street fighting in Shazhou City started, the whole army would advance in an array of infantry...

"Everyone, if we attack the city from the west, it may be too difficult to completely annihilate the garrison on Shazhou. The east gate faces Suzhou, and it will be difficult to send troops to ambush."

"This requires us to establish a line of defense as soon as possible after we have conquered the sandbar, to meet the reinforcements from Suzhou."

"Commander, the distance from Suzhou to the sandbar is enough for us to requisition the livestock on the sandbar and make full use of the chariot."

"As for the reinforcements from Suzhou... Marshal, do you remember how the officials fought against Annan during the Southern Expedition?"

The battle examples that Zhang Dun studied the most were the ones in which the officials played tricks on the Annan Army during the Southern Expedition. In his opinion, that kind of unconstrained use of troops is the ability of a real general.

"You mean to surround the spot to fight for aid?"

"Exactly!"

Zhao Xi was not unfamiliar with the battles between the several cities in Annan, including the use of troops in the Wanyinshan exercise, and the generals of the country.

When they heard what Zhang Dun said, they all nodded in agreement.

"This requires us to quickly requisition draft horses, camels and other livestock after we take the sandbar."

"It shouldn't be difficult. If there is a war in Shazhou City, it will definitely be full of artillery fire. Whether it is a pack horse or a camel, it will definitely be frightened..."

"We just need to arrange for the driver to pack up the frightened animals..."

This suggestion...~Wang Shao didn't know how to evaluate it.

He remembered that there was a point of view among the officials: there is discipline in the army, but there is no reason for the battlefield.

Those who come out of the Martial Arts Hall are probably deeply influenced by this point of view.

If Zhao Xi borrowed the military training methods of later generations, which aspect of the current soldiers has improved the most, it should be lurking, attacking and street fighting.In today's era, when it comes to war, it basically refers to the battle between the two armies.The training of soldiers also focuses on this aspect.

As for the production of captains and generals, they are basically based on force and bravery.

However, Zhao Xi's explanation of the war and the requirements for soldiers' tactical literacy went in another direction.The battle between the two armies focuses on courage and courage, but the battle requires more than these.

Zhao Xi's war theory, in addition to the soldiers' courage and courage, added the thinking of special operations, and focused on the cultivation of individual combat capabilities.Because there are too many uncertainties in war, in many cases, the personal tactical quality of an individual soldier is likely to change the entire battle situation.

Just like attacking Shazhou City now...

Shazhou, the prefectural seat of Dunhuang, was established in Shazhou in the second year of Wude in the former dynasty, and changed to Xisha Prefecture in five years.In the seventh year of Zhenguan, it was changed to Shazhou.In the second year of Tang Dezong Jianzhong, Shazhou fell into Tubo.In the second year of Emperor Xuanzong's Dazhong period, Zhang Yichao revolted and returned to the Tang Dynasty. In the fifth year of Dazhong, he was built and returned to Shazhou.

Later Zhang's clan was in civil strife.His grandson, Zhang Cheng, acted as an envoy of Jiedu, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and established himself as the "Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty", calling himself "Jinshan White-clothed Emperor".At this time, the Uighurs also controlled the central area of ​​the Hexi Corridor. In order to open up the east-west traffic, the "Jinshan Kingdom" fought against the Uighurs, and the result was a crushing defeat.Later, when the Uighurs attacked Shazhou, Zhang Chengfeng could not resist, so he had to surrender.

In the third year of Qianhua in the Later Liang Dynasty, the Jinshan Kingdom fell, and the Zhang family died out. Shi Cao Yijin, the Governor of Shazhou, replaced the Jiedushi and commanded Guazhou and Shazhou.During the Jingyou period of this dynasty, Shazhou was occupied by Xixia.

Due to its geographical location, Shazhou is very important in the Hexi Corridor. It has always been a place of war, and it can be regarded as ill-fated.

However, after the party members occupied Shazhou, considering Shazhou's connection with the West and the Uyghurs, it also allowed Shazhou to enter a period of stability.As a result, Shazhou has once again prospered.

For this reason, Xixia specially repaired the city.It's a pity that the geographical location of Shazhou determines that even if it is to repair the city, the only materials used are yellow maps and gravel.Therefore, the city walls of Shazhou are all built of rammed earth.

The original meaning of Shazhou is desert oasis. It is a pearl on the Gobi Desert, surrounded by many trees inside and outside the city.This makes it very convenient for partial divisions to lurk new troops...

It is recognized that the party members are not good at governance and are cruel.The party members are based on the cavalry, and they are just doing a model for the city defense. Even the guarding of the city gates is basically undertaken by the local Han, Uighur, and Tubo people.

Therefore, when seeing more than [-] cavalry in Xixia costumes galloping towards them, the city gate officials did not close the city gate quickly to warn, but opened the city gate quickly and hid in the city...

Wang Shunchen was about to rush into the city gate shouting, but the situation in front of him made him a little stunned.The horses continued to gallop, and before they had time to figure out what was going on, more than three hundred cavalrymen had already rushed into the city gate...

There was a lot of dust raised by the horses. When the city gate officer returned to his position on duty again, he saw the densely packed soldiers outside the city gate. He couldn't tell which part of the force it was. .With a groan, he turned around and disappeared.

It was at this time that the defenders on the city wall realized the abnormality, and just waiting to react, some soldiers had already thrown gunpowder bombs on the city wall... At the same time, continuous explosions began to be heard in the city.

The city gate is not big enough to accommodate the charge of [-] soldiers, and the city wall is not high, so some soldiers began to climb the city wall while throwing gunpowder bombs.For a while, the entire Shazhou City fell into chaos...

Looking further into the distance, tens of thousands of Song troops, lined up with infantry, are slowly marching towards Shazhou...

When Wang Shao led the Chinese army to arrive outside the city of Shazhou, what he saw was the empty west gate of Shazhou, and the sound of killing in Shazhou city was loud.Shazhou won...

"Go forward with all your strength, use the capital as a unit, and fight freely after entering the city. Be sure to fully occupy Shazhou today!"

Chapter 704 Borrowing or Borrowing a Sword

This is not a war of total annihilation, and attacking Shazhou is not a siege. There is no such thing as a siege at all. It is a pure attack, and then street fighting, and finally kills the army deployed by Xixia in Shazhou... Or it would be more appropriate to say drive away.

People are four-legged cavalry, but partial divisions are two-legged people, they can only be expelled, there is no way to annihilate them.

The situation was as expected, because after the commandos entered the city, they used gunpowder bombs to open the way, and the soldiers who attacked the city also used gunpowder bombs, so that the non-stop explosions made the animals who stayed in Shazhou no longer Obediently listen to the master's call...

While the sound of artillery fire in Shazhou City was still going on, the drivers of the Song army who were strolling outside the city began to collect the animals that ran out of the city with a smile.

The army must not disturb the people!This is the iron law of the new army.Therefore, after confirming that the soldiers of the Xixia Army could not be found in the city, the soldiers of the Song Army began to gather in the government offices of Shazhou.Moreover, they began to build fortifications around the government office, as if they wanted to stick to the government office.

"Zi Hou, do you really not accept An Jing?"

At this time, Wang Shao was still not sure, so he wanted to confirm it with Zhang Dun.
