The city wall collapsed?

How is that possible!?

So awesome...

This is a demonic method, no, it is not a demonic method, it is the law of nature!

It turns out that Aguda is right, and the truth is indeed invincible! You must believe in the truth in the future! You can’t doubt it anymore

Wanyan Zonghan was convinced this time. When he just set out from Changping, he felt that the Youzhou Army was nothing special. The vassal soldiers and generals looked quite weak, not much stronger than the Khitan in Xiao Haili.

As a result, when he arrived at the city of Khan Prefecture, he realized that there were no cowards in the Youzhou army! Cao Yongyi's soldiers looked bad, but he was really desperate when fighting! Although it was still much worse than the warriors of the Jurchens, they were many Han people! There were millions of people on the territory of Youzhou Town alone. If they were all like the Cao family's soldiers, even if they had tens of thousands of Jurchens, they could not help but work hard like this.

So Wanyan Zonghan completely gave up the idea of ​​invading Youzhou. However, he did not think that Youzhou Town is stronger than the Jurchens. Until today, he saw the roar of truth and realized that the sky was high and the earth was thick.

Such a strong city wall collapsed for no reason!

No matter how much armor a Jurchen warrior put on, it is not as thick as a city wall, right? How many people will die if a "truth" is smashed down?

Of course, if the Youzhou army only had "truth", Wanyan Zonghan would not be afraid. However, the infantry had long spear formations, cavalry had square formations, and there were any fleets on the water surface, and any engineers who could build a night city. Multiple troops cooperated to fight!

Only the powerful men who can wear heavy armor and iron cavalry who can attack and shoot archery can be hard to win even if they are brave, right?

However, the Youzhou army is so fierce that the Liao Dynasty is over! Wanyan Zonghan planned to support Aguda when he returned and pressed the tiger water, and immediately fired the anti-flagration and stood on the side of the Song Dynasty. It would be better to just surrender to the Song Dynasty!

Wanyan Zonghan actually wanted to submit to the Song Dynasty... If Wu Haogu knew what he was thinking, he would probably be amused and crying.

Will there be a Great Jin Kingdom in the future? Aguda will not become the governor of the Liaodong Dynasty of the Song Dynasty, the Great Protector of Andong, the King of Jin, etc., right?

If this is the case, won’t Zhao Ji get a bargain again?

"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories..."

"Boom boom boom!"

Cheers and shelling sounds continued to sound alternately, and they stopped gradually until the gun barrel became hot. At this time, a large section of the city wall in the south of Wende County was already covered with bullet marks, and a huge gap appeared near the city gate. The upper half of the city wall in that area was gone, and the rammed earth collapsed and formed a slope. No siege equipment was needed, and people could climb up.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

"Republic Army, advance!"

The drums and the heart-wrenching shouts of the officers rang out everywhere in the Youzhou Army's positions. The Cao family, Zuo family and Yu family, who had finally survived the debt crisis, began to recognize the Youzhou Republican Government from the bottom of their hearts. Following the Republican Government, they could really win battles. So they also began to call themselves "Republic Army"!

The first wave of attacking troops began to roll forward, all of them were leather armor and cotton armor. They carried door panels and wooden ladders and shouted loudly. From their starting position to the breakout of the city wall of Wende County, there was only a trench between them. Moreover, the battlefield was filled with smoke from gunfire caused by cannon fire, just covering the attacking infantry.

Their task was to build dozens of simple bridges on the trench using wooden boards and wooden ladders as big as door panels, as well as their own bodies.

After completing the bridge building, some officers and soldiers will rush to the bottom of the gap in the city wall and set up a ladder. Open the passage for the troops that will attack in the future!

I don’t know if it was because of the bombardment just now that scared away the Khitans at the top of Wende County. However, when the first wave of attacking the "Republic Army" built a bridge, there was no arrow shot out on the city wall.

Just as the first wave of "Republic Army" officers and soldiers rushed into the trench, the second wave of officers and soldiers also shouted loudly and began to attack. These were iron-armored soldiers of thousands of people, forming a grand lineup. In front of the formation, they were all Mo Daomen! Under the leadership of the officers, they stepped forward. What they needed to do was to maintain their formation, step through the trench on the simple bridges mounted on the shoulders of the front army, and then climb up the gentle slope, and fight with the Khitans who reacted!

"This is a tactic of combining artillery and field! After the artillery bombardment is over, the infantry will immediately launch an attack and use gunpowder as cover..."

At this time, on the artillery position of the "Republic Army", an officer who had just graduated from the Knights' College Engineering Department (the artillery department was only established and there was no graduate yet) was explaining the latest tactics to a group of "primary school students" who could kill people.

The tactics that seemed natural to later generations were very novel methods in this era. The cooperation between artillery and infantry, artillery and cavalry was just starting to exert a little power.

However, just this little effect also determined the loss of the last important stronghold of the Liao Kingdom in the northern foothills of the Yanshan Mountains!

On March 18, 2018, the fourth year of Daguan in the Song Dynasty, the Battle of Wende City, which was highly anticipated by Yelu Kwan Ligu, once again achieved a desperate result. In just half an hour, the thin city wall was knocked down by the enemy's cannons. The Liao soldiers, who were frightened by the cannon, did not organize decent resistance at all, and they abandoned the city and fled, passing through the mountain land named Zhangjiakou in the later generations, but had no name in this era, and left in a mess.

...

"The first general on Xihe Road has arrived in Baosai City. Before tonight, the camp can be repaired."

"The cavalry on Linfu Road has crossed the Hutuo River in Anping County, Shenzhou, and no Liaogou defenders have been found. According to the order of the commander of Zhejie, the cavalry of Linfu will advance to the south bank of Mudaogou."

"Master Tao Xuan, Zhendingfu Road urgently reported that the Xiangzhou army encountered a large group of Liao troops on the north bank of Zishui. Its troops were around 10,000. The Xiangzhou army was defeated and had retreated to the south bank of Zishui."

"The military newspaper of Youzhou Army, at noon on the 18th, Wuzhou Prefecture's Marine Wende City will be restored! The entire Wuzhou area should return to China within a few days!"

Since the army reported to the Hebei Xuanfu Office in the Battle of Guizhou (Khan Prefecture) to the Hebei Xuanfu Office in Hejian Prefecture, the counterattack of the troops under the Hebei Xuanfu Office began. The battle report on the front was brought back to Hejian Prefecture like a silver medal. However, Tao Jiefu Office in the Xuanfu Office was in chaos and orderly. Although the generals and officials who were in and out of the General Office were hurried, they did not have any panic.

Tao Jiefu, Tan Zhen (he is now back as a military supervisor), Yang Keshi, and several military opportunities, all focused on listening to the military newspaper and watching a military aircraft general inserting small flags of different colors on the wooden picture.

Tao Jiefu held his hands behind his back and looked down at Mutu: "What's going on Zhendingfu Road? Why did he encounter Liao people on the north bank of Zishui? I sent someone to ask clearly."

Yang Keshi hurriedly bowed and replied: "Report to the general Xuan, the general has sent someone to ask. However, he is worried that the Liao people may take action on the direction of Zhendingfu Road."

"How is that possible?" Tao Jiefu shook his head, "The ancient capital of Wuhao is almost at the end of Yuanyang! What else can the Liao people make toss on Zhending Mansion Road? Besides, did Hedong report that the Lord of the Lord of the Sun and Moon were found outside Yanmen Pass? The Lord of the Liao people have moved their troops, what tricks can the Liao people play on Zhending Mansion Road?"

"Maybe they will launch a feint attack on Zhendingfu Road and cooperate with the Liao lord's army to attack Yanmen Pass?" Tan Zhen reminded in a low voice.

"Few attack?" Tao Jiefu thought for a while, "Why isn't it a decisive battle? If the Han family's Xiangzhou army was defeated again, then the right wing of Hedong would be really in danger."

"Supervisor Xuan," Yang Keshi asked, "Do you want to transfer a new general to aid?"

"Where do we adjust it?" Tao Jiefu asked back.

“From Qingzhou…”

Tao Jiefu gave Yang Keshi a blank look, which scared Yang Keshi so much that he shivered and did not dare to speak again.

"Tell the order to the Korean group to practice, be sure to stick to the front line of the water." Tao Jiefu said, "If you keep the water, you will remember a great merit for the Xiangzhou group to practice!"

"Here!"

There was a military aircraft in the hall responding loudly, sending Tao Jiefu's military orders through the voyage and horses to Hejian Mansion more than 300 miles away.

But no one would have thought that the just-departed Battle of Zishui was just the prelude to a large-scale military operation of the Liao army!

...

On the north bank of Zishui, the sky gradually became brighter. Xiao Gan rode his horse and stood on a high place with a few generals from the Xiwang Mansion. In front of them, more than a hundred Xi soldiers were scattered everywhere on the north bank of the river, but looked at the south bank of Zishui River, which was still floating in the morning mist.

Just the day before yesterday, the 10,000 infantry soldiers of the Xi Palace commanded by Xiao Gan and the 5,000 infantry soldiers led by Wu Song, general under Han Xiaozhou, were fighting bloody on the river beach in front of him.

As a result, it was difficult to decide the outcome. In the end, the Xiangzhou infantry retreated through the pontoon bridge under the cover of night.

Through this contest, Xiao Gan felt more and more that the prospects of the Great Liao Kingdom were dimming.

Because the Song army's tactics are very difficult! They not only will form formations, but also use sandbags to build up the ground to cover themselves. Once the sandbags are built into a chest wall, and then they cooperate with their strong crossbows and spears, they will become an unbreakable solid formation.

Even if it can be broken, it doesn’t mean much. Could it be that Xiao Gan had to exchange 5,000 Xi people’s lives for the lives of 5,000 Han people? How many talented Xi people? Can it be afforded?

However, Xiao Gan was not unaware of his opponent's flaws. The opponent's flaws were just one word: "slow", slow marching, slow formation, and slow raising the camp.

Therefore, the most correct way to deal with the Song army is to be "fast". Fighting slow with fast is to be invincible.

Of course, "fast" does not mean "light", nor does it mean "weak". Instead, it should combine "fast", "heavy" and "strong".

There is no need to just be quicker than the Song army that is moving at a speed. They are 30 miles a day and 50 miles a day at home, which is enough. It is enough to bypass the Song army's turtle formation and advance towards the east of the Hedong!
