I became the son of Renzong

At this time, the cotton-padded clothes of Workshop City really came into play.What's more, Zhao Xi completely copied the style of the military coat of later generations.With such equipment, they can resist for half a night, and they can resist the soldiers who are eager to fight.

It was a bit sudden, and it was indeed a bit intrusive for the Xixia cavalry.

Because the Song army was afraid of the cold, they avoided the sneak distance as much as possible, so that at dawn, the soldiers would besiege them instead of freezing in the cold winter night.Therefore, even if the Xixia people kept watch at night, they did not find that the Song army surrounded them.

When dawn came, when the shadow of Jinshan was still far away towards the sandbar, those black boxes suddenly opened, and then the densely packed Song army kept throwing gunpowder bombs into the cavalry... ·

Winning or losing was already doomed from the very beginning.

Chapter 702 The focus is on how to enter the city

The Xixia people stationed on the sandbar were basically defenseless against the entire west.

The Huihe forces in Xizhou are basically in the Gaochang area. They have fought with Xixia, and they have lost more and won less, so they have gradually become honest.

Basically, they all belong to the forces that cut off the Hu in the Hexi Corridor, and they all rely on the Silk Road to dawdle, each setting up its own gateway, and each earning its own money.

To the west of the ancient Yumen Pass is the endless Gobi Desert, which also gives Xizhou Huihe and Xixia a large buffer, and they can be regarded as peaceful with each other.

If it weren't for the fact that the Song Dynasty sent soldiers to the west of Qingtang, the defense of the Shazhou garrison to the west could be said to be basically non-existent.

If you want to extract oil from the Hu merchants in Xifan, you have to wait for them to enter the Hexi Corridor.

Therefore, after the vanguard of the partial division wiped out the cavalry guarding at the foot of Dangjin Mountain, the garrison at Shazhou still knew nothing.

The distance of [-] to [-] miles, and the mountain cover, well covered up the sound of the gunpowder shells.

"Liulang, let's go directly to the sandbar? I think the cavalry on this sandbar are just like that. They can't compare with the Black Mountain Weifu Army Commander."

Wang Shunchen felt that he hadn't had a good time, so he couldn't tell Zhong Jianzhong, so he could just win over him.

"Don't ruin the strategy of the commander-in-chief, let's obey the military order! Although we are from the guards, but now we are part of the division, and we are the generals under the account of the king's government. Don't make things difficult for the commander-in-chief!"

"As for fighting, are you afraid that there will be no battles to fight along the way? I guess no one in the Manchu Dynasty would have thought of it, except for the officials, for us to be able to look through Dangjin Mountain at this time."

"This time, some battles will be fought, and some credits will be earned, so don't let yourself be fooled!"

Even if it is feasible, it is not enjoyable, but he is calmer than Wang Shunchen, and he also has a big picture.

Wang Shunchen felt resentful and couldn't say anything more.

As for how to fight the sandbar, the commander-in-chief has not yet obtained the charter, so it is really unrealistic to think about charging like this.

Just talking casually...~

None of the engineering soldiers was free these days, Wang Shao was anxious, and everyone in the division didn't feel it.

Almost all the things that can be used are used, but the lifting is not a pack horse chariot after all, and it still can't get up fast.

It took almost a month for the entire partial division to read all of Dangjinshan.

All the chariots came, but most of the engineers had to stay at the depot, and all the pack horses were still at Qian's side.

Even so, compared to when Dangjin Mountain was accessible, they were at least two months ahead of schedule.This is absolutely crucial to the entire battle against Xia to destroy the country.

Although Wang Shao was not sure about the situation on the frontal battlefield, it would be impossible to break through to Xingqing Mansion any way in more than a month, and the speed of advancement would not even be too fast.

After all, after so many years, it is impossible for Xixia not to consider how to deal with the chariot.

Wang Shao also saw it from this slanting action.Chariots are greatly affected by road conditions and also rely on livestock.In terms of offense and defense, chariots focus on defense, but are not good at offense.

For example, they are partial to the division now. They have too many chariots and carry enough supplies for a year later, but they really can't drive the chariots into battle.

Because they have no pack horses, no camels, and they cannot move the chariot.

"There are less than [-] war horses, how to win the sandbar and gather enough livestock, we can only consider the next step eastward."

Annihilate the garrisoned Xixia cavalry, and there are only so few living horses.This is still the habit of Xixia people riding with two riders, otherwise it would be nice to keep a hundred or ten horses.

Wang Shao is also a clever woman who cannot cook without rice.

It's not that they can't beat the sandbar, at least they have nearly [-] soldiers.

It's just that Wang Shao couldn't hit a sandbar without killing or injuring too many soldiers.There are still a few cities in a row. With such a small number of people, it is really not enough to lose them in a siege battle.

Besides, without the accompanying chariot, there would be no massive amount of gunpowder, and the country would lose its military advantage.

Even if the soldiers of the new army are brave and brave, in the siege battle, there is no gunpowder, and they can only use the lives of the soldiers.

This is not what he wants, nor is it what the officials want.

"Commander, these days we have also sneaked into the sandbar to investigate. It seems that the Xixia people's defense is not tight, and it can even be said to be lax."

"Tell me in detail."

"The four of us are waiting for the teams that were used to scout the road, and we will take turns to investigate outside Shazhou City to ensure continuity. Finally, we will summarize the investigation records recorded by each team... Commander, please take a look!"

In fact, in terms of military alone, any one of these five generals is stronger than Wang Shao.

Wang Shao is good at the overall situation and good at planning, he is considered a handsome talent who knows military affairs.

And when it comes to military literacy, there is absolutely no way to compare with the five people who have been trained in the martial arts hall for so many years, especially in terms of tactical execution and battlefield details.

How many people in the city defense, how to patrol, when to switch defenses...~even detailed to the width of the patrol soldiers patrolling back and forth at every position on the city wall!

Looking at it further, this investigation report actually marked all the so-called blind spots of the sentries.

Zhang Dun also looked at it, but was not as surprised as Wang Shao.In the lecture hall, from the military books compiled by the officials, to the teachings of the veterans... If you want to say that they have learned the most comprehensively, the ones who spend the longest time are the five of them.

It is normal to have such an investigation report.

"Let's talk about how to fight, according to the official staff mode, let's express our opinions!"

Wang Shao understood the difference between his so-called knowledge of military affairs and these professional generals.

Since Hehuang opened the border, even if he has been leading troops, he has used the command staff system for many years, and he has never had an investigation as detailed as these few.

He knew that he could grasp the general trend, and he had better listen to these generals on how to fight in specific battles.

Didn't look at Zhang Dun, Zhang Zihou, who was so tall, he nodded!

"Marshal, the last generals have counted together. Leaving aside the chariot, we are still infantry. But now that there are no animals in the chariot, we can only be used as infantry when we hit the sandbar."

"Infantry siege, without siege equipment, is purely filled with human lives. This will cause partial divisions to be unable to complete the established tasks of the court."

"So, Commander, the final destination is still these hundreds of horses. Commander, let me tell you about the tactics at the end. Commander, Zhang Zuoshuai, please judge whether it is feasible."

"The advantage of cavalry is most obvious in the wilderness. In street fighting in the city, cavalry is not as flexible as infantry. When we fight on sandbars, the focus is on how to enter the city."
