Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Artillery is specially used to deter the enemy and attack the enemy's army formation.

This tactic is a tactic configured by the Jiangwu Hall after collecting the opinions of various frontier troops. It is one of the standard tactics of the Song army street fighting.

The biggest feature of this tactic is to fully and flexibly maximize the role of artillery, strike the enemy's formation in a short time, and greatly reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness.

Zhao Ning waited patiently outside, while the scouts kept sending new news from the city.

"Your Majesty, our army has initially defeated the enemy!"

"Your Majesty, our army has forced the enemy to the center of the city!"

"Your Majesty, the enemy tried to escape from the east gate, but was intercepted by our cavalry, and all of them were executed!"

"Your Majesty, our army has suppressed the enemy across the board, and the Western Thieves are resisting stubbornly!"

"Your Majesty, our army has killed at least 3000 enemy troops!"

"..."

A success report came like snowflakes, and Li Renzhong, Li Yu, Mi Zhuo Rongye and others standing under the handsome platform were shocked.

Zhao Ning said coldly: "Order Zhang Bofen, continue to kill! Kill until there is no resistance!"

"Yes!"

The more than 100 years of enmity between Song Dynasty and Xixia, although there was a short period of peace in this dynasty, but if the two sides really fought on the battlefield, they would never end.

In a word: fuck it to death!Kill to kill!

When Li Yuanhao rebelled, how many people died tragically in the northwest.

How many people's bones were buried by the Wuding River.

This account cannot be settled by sitting down, and can only be repaid with blood.

As for the business between the two parties, when it is necessary, everyone put away their knives and exchanged short-term benefits.

Now there is no need, the knives hidden behind are all revealed.

After Zhang Bofen received the order, he also sent out more Gongsheng troops who were stationed in the city.

The killing not only did not weaken, but expanded.

Heart-piercing wailing came from every alley, and the ground was stained red with blood.

There was a booming sound in the room, and everything that could be smashed was smashed.

It wasn't until the evening that it slowly quieted down.

General Zong Ying, who supported the Japanese army, came to the imperial court and said: "Your Majesty, the resistance in the city has been completely smashed. We have captured the leader of the Xixia people, Xifeng Guye."

Zhao Ning looked away from the magnificent sunset in the distance, and said lightly, "Bring it here."

Xi Feng Gu Ye was brought over, and he was escorted down to kneel on the withered grass.

"Emperor Dog! Kill me if you have the ability!" Xifeng Gu Ye shouted in suffocated Shaanxi dialect.

Li Renzhong and Li Yu immediately said in their hearts: Well done, let this dog emperor see that our Daxia general's bones are also very hard!You have the courage to scold!He won't kill you, he still has to rely on you to buy people's hearts, otherwise no one will dare to surrender in the future.

"Come on, cut it off." Zhao Ning just glanced at Xifeng Guye, then waved his hand, as if he just trampled an ant to death.

Li Renzhong's heart shook, and Li Yu beside him was even more frightened into a cold sweat.

The soldiers immediately dragged Xi Feng Gu Ye aside, and Xi Feng Gu Ye also looked confused: This... Is this a promise?

A well-built soldier drew out his knife, and before Xi Feng Gu Ye could say anything, he swung it down.

With a click, Xi Feng Gu Ye's head turned a few times in the air and rolled to the ground.

Blood splashed all over the ground, and the headless corpse also fell to the ground.

I saw that Xifeng Gu Ye's eyes were still wide open, and he was looking at Li Renzhong, Li Yu and the others.

Li Yu couldn't help but took two steps back, his neck felt cold and his feet felt weak.

But at the same time, he was also glad that Zhao Guan's family had beaten Hongzhou down today, otherwise he would not be able to fight within five days, and his head would be lost.

"Your Majesty, he was killed."

Zhao Ning didn't even look at it, just nodded, and Gu Ye's body was taken away.

The setting sun gradually sank into the horizon, elongating the distant mountain shadows.

The cold wind swept across the Wuding River, rolling up bursts of withered and yellow grass clippings.

Outside the east gate, the corpses of the Xixia people had piled up.

In this battle of the Xixia Army in Hongzhou, less than 1000 people were killed.

It can be said that all the vital forces were wiped out.

Xixia itself is at a huge disadvantage in terms of population. If they are killed like this, even if the Hengshan line of defense is not captured by accident, their vitality will be severely damaged in a short period of time, and they will no longer be able to organize a large-scale army.

In this way, even if Zhao Ning retreats this time, he can call back at any time in the future.

This kind of war mode that eliminates vital forces also appeared in the Warring States Period, that is, the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao.

Bai Qi is not born to like to kill, the purpose of killing is to severely damage the foundation of Zhao State in a short time.

Basically, Zhao Ning's war against Xixia this time is also adhering to this point of view.

After all, it was a battle to destroy the country, and it was also to weaken the possible counterattack of the Xixia people to the greatest extent.

Not long after, Fan Zhixu came over, and he said: "Your Majesty, all the statistics are over. Seven out of ten Xixia soldiers are wearing armor, and some of them are equipped with strong crossbows."

As soon as he said this, Yang Yizhong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I remember that when I was still in the northwest, there were not so many Xixia people wearing armor, let alone crossbowmen."

The general of the Yang family in Linzhou Zheng'er Bajing has also fought against Xixia for many years, so Yang Yizhong naturally understands the arrangement of Xixia people.

Zhao Ning came down from the high platform and said, "Li Yu!"

Li Yu immediately came out and said, "The minister is here!"

"You are in charge of Hongzhou?"

"Hongzhou was under the control of the minister before."

"What is the armor rate of your soldiers in Hengshan?"

"As the Shangguan said just now, there are seven out of ten." Li Yu said cautiously, and he didn't dare to hide anything. He was afraid that those words would make the Zhao official's family unhappy, so he gave himself away without saying a word. chopped.

Zhao Ning looked at Mi Qin Rongye again, and Mi Qin Rongye immediately said: "That's true, not only wearing armor, I heard that the Xingqing Mansion did not know what method to use, but also found some gunpowder formulas from the Jinren. I can't be sure if it's true or not."

gunpowder?

Zhao Ning's eyes fell on Li Renzhong, and Li Renzhong said: "The foreign ministers don't know about these things, this is all arranged by Jin Wang Li Cha."

"It seems that the Xixia people have indeed grown a lot over the years." Zhao Ning said.

But Sun Fu said disapprovingly: "No matter how much the western bandits improve, they will be easily defeated by our army. Your Majesty must not worry."

Zhao Ning shook his head and said: "We went north all the way, and we met the Xixia Army with far fewer troops than us, especially the use of artillery, which has obvious effects on medium-sized legions and legions of [-] people, but if the opponent Once the strength reaches [-], tactics may not be effective.”

Chapter 1045 Brother Richard is here (third update)

Sun Fu seemed to understand, Fan Zhixu nodded, and Chen Gui, who had been taciturn in the team, also nodded.

He said: "We carried a total of 200 artillery pieces. The role of the artillery is to quickly attack the enemy's formation, but we cannot expect him to destroy the enemy. To destroy the enemy's resistance on a large scale, it must be elite infantry and outflank cavalry."

"The two armies are facing each other, and if there is no quick action in the early stage, the probability of the artillery hitting the enemy's formation is generally about half. When the chance is good, it can hit six out of ten. If the opponent moves, the probability is even higher Drop at least half, and in the end, only 50 of them may fall into the enemy's army formation, and each one will affect 5 people on average, and only 250 people will be affected in one round."

Hearing Chen Gui's calculation, Sun Fu immediately said, "Your statement is wrong. Why did you beat Li Yu so smoothly before?"

"Because his total number of troops was [-], and he didn't move quickly at the beginning of the battle, and the formation was tight. In addition, he was lucky that time, and six out of ten were hit, but you can't expect such good results every time. "

Zhao Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Chen Gui is worthy of being a technical strategic defense master. When he looks at the war, he will evaluate the battle situation through very fine calculations.

"If the enemy has more than [-] troops and the artillery can't quickly hit the enemy's morale, then we will face the enemy's real strength, that is, Xixia soldiers wearing iron armor and equipped with crossbows. If we want to fight head-on, we will not be like before. Easy."

"Even so, the number of our troops is several times that of the opponent."

Shen Mo shook his head, obviously he didn't intend to continue talking to Sun Fu, a layman among laymen, he believed that Zhao Guan's family would not be so stupid.

But Fan Zhixu said: "In a large-scale battle, if the opponent has more than [-] troops and our army is several times larger than the opponent, we may not be able to win easily, because once this order of magnitude is reached, the deployment of the army will slow down, and we must either besiege or head on. To fight against the opponent, the opponent sends [-] elite soldiers, and we send [-] elite soldiers. The number of forwards fighting each other is the same, and the opponent also has elite cavalry when outflanking the opponent. In a short period of time, we cannot let everyone in the [-] army come into contact enemy."

Seeing that Sun Fu still wanted to refute, Fan Zhixu also lost the patience to explain.

Because they discovered that Sun Fu had no concept of 1 people and 2 people in a field battle.

To encircle a [-]-strong army, multiple areas are needed, and there is no concept of what kind of force contact area is needed.

Talking about professional things to people who don't have any concept is undoubtedly playing the piano with a cow.

After all, if this guy is in a hurry, he can send a great god to the city to ask for the existence of heavenly soldiers and generals.

Zhao Guanjia said: "Leaving aside these for now, having artillery is always a great advantage."

At this moment, several fast horses galloped forward and presented the information.

"Your Majesty, we found a large-scale Xixia army [-] miles away, numbering at least [-]."

As soon as the scout said this, Fan Zhixu on the side immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Xixia Army from Youzhou came to reinforce us when they heard that we had arrived in Hongzhou."

"Brother Li Cha is in Youzhou now?" Zhao Ning asked Li Yu.

Li Yu immediately poked his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Yes, Brother Li Cha is in Youzhou, and he brought [-] elites from Xingqing Mansion, and these [-] elites belong to the guards of the capital. Compared with the soldiers and horses of the ministers, the army is more sophisticated, and it is said that Wei Ming Anhui brought back the armor-making technology from the Kingdom of Jin before, and the armor technology of this army is similar to the gold armor."

The Jin Guo armor can be said to be one of the armors with the highest workmanship in this era.

It was also Zhao Ning who traveled through the years and continued to improve the armor craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty. It was not until three years ago that the armor craftsmanship of the Song Army caught up.

In fact, this has nothing to do with the threshold of handicraft technology, but mainly has to do with whether the military and government are corrupt.

The iteration of armor equipment takes time.

Hearing what Li Yu said, in fact, the Xixia army that they fought before was not considered Xixia's elite troops.

The truly stronger army is with Brother Li Cha. As for how Li Qianshun has armed his proton army and pro-guard army, no one knows yet.

Zhao Ning said: "From this point of view, the army that came here may be commanded by Brother Li Cha."

"Your Majesty, ask me to meet with Brother Li Cha again." Sun Fu jumped out, "I just told him that you, Xi Xia, colluded with the Jin people without permission and slaughtered our Song soldiers. Use this plan to temporarily hold Brother Li Cha, wait for Longzhou and Weizhou to be captured, and then it will not be too late to turn against him."

how to say?

Sun Fu is really good at fighting!

But this guy is not good at everything, and he is also smart sometimes, isn't this diplomatic strategy just one set?

However, today is different.

Zhao Ning said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to come back if you go. Brother Li Cha is going south at this time, it is very likely that he has already realized that I am going to destroy Xixia, so you should not meddle in it."

Sun Fu is not useless if he destroys Xixia, he has a hard head and will be of great use in the future.

Zhao Ning said again: "It's getting late, let's set up camp and rest first, and take a good defense. Brother Li Cha learned that Hongzhou was captured, and he didn't dare to move around until he knew our reality."

"Yes."

"By the way, send someone to Xiazhou immediately. Brother Li Cha left Youzhou. Youzhou now has only [-] soldiers. It's time for Liu Qi to move."

"Yes!"

As night falls, the stars shine brightly.

Brother Li Cha was stationed thirty li to the north, on the bank of the Wuding River.

"Report! Your Highness, the real strength of the enemy has not yet been ascertained, but Hongzhou has already fallen."

Brother Li Cha's heart trembled, his face was calm, but his heart sank to the bottom.

Hongzhou fell so quickly.

It seems that Song Jun's heavy artillery is more powerful than I imagined.

Li Yu was defeated in a short period of time, and even Xifeng Guye was defeated so quickly defending Hongzhou. How did the Song army do it?

"Have you found anyone who escaped?"

"No."

At this time, another scout rushed over: "Report! Your Highness, there are a few people outside who claim to have escaped from Hongzhou."

"Bring it in!"

Not long after, several party soldiers came in.

These people are all party members, and it is absolutely impossible to be the secret work of Song Jun.
