The strongest Marquis in history

Seeing that the two had disagreements, Wang Qi smiled and said, "I don't know if the fight goes well. No matter what, there will be no disagreements in the battle of crossing the river. We are now waiting, waiting for all The warships gathered together and prepared to attack. Roughly estimated, it will be tomorrow at most, so we should be able to attack."

Both Zhou Zishan and Zhuge Feng nodded.

Both of them are thinking about themselves.

The overall plan was agreed and nothing changed, so Wang Qi took Zhuge Feng and Zhou Zishan back to the army and waited quietly.

While the Qi army was waiting, Jin Zaishan on the south bank was already waiting.

Jin Zaishan went directly to the ferry.

He was on a high ground nearby, overlooking the Qi army stationed on the north bank. Jin Zaishan had put a lot of effort into this battle. Especially in the past two days, he was still making adjustments to Prepare for this battle.

While Jin Zaishan was watching, there was a sound of footsteps.

But a middle-aged scribe came.

The name of the visitor was Jiang Zaidao, a member of the Jiang family of the Goguryeo family, and he was Jin Zaishan's counselor.

Jiang Zaidao said: "General Jin, the army of Qi State has arrived, and there is still a shortage of warships for the time being. It is estimated that they will not attack today. With the speed of Qi State, it may be tomorrow at the earliest. After raising a batch of warships, they will Start attacking us. At that time, it will be the time when this battle will be decided. We are on the disadvantaged side, and we must always be cautious and not careless."

Jin Zaishan said: "I understand what the military adviser said. In short, I will go all out, military adviser, I must win this battle, and I can only win and never lose. In addition, have all the soldiers of the Death Battalion been selected? ?”

"Picked out."

Jiang Zaidao nodded solemnly.

The Death Battalion is a major weapon prepared by Jin Zaishan.

In this battle, Qi State's weapons are stronger and its troops are also very strong. It is definitely far from enough to simply rely on the line of defense. It needs sufficient soldiers from the Death Battalion to deal a fatal blow to the soldiers of Qi State at the critical moment.

Jin Zaishan said: "The soldiers of the Death Battalion are assembled, so there is nothing to worry about. We have already prepared everything. What we have to do now is to wait for Qi to attack."

Jiang Zaidao shook his head and said, "General, I think we still have a big flaw."

Kim Jae-san asked, "What defect?"

Jiang Zaidao explained: "Our current army is actually not short of food and weapons. What we lack is the combat effectiveness of the army. After all, our military strength is not comparable to that of the Qi army. So I think that the real When you want to fight, you can arrange dead soldiers, tie up gunpowder, rush up and explode with human flesh."

Here in Goguryeo, gunpowder exists.

With gunpowder, although there is no shell, it can be exploded.

Jin Zaishan nodded, and said: "Military division, that is the last resort. The soldiers of the Death Battalion, they are the most important. They still want to fight, or desperately kill the Qi soldiers who resist the charge."

Jiang Zaidao nodded and agreed with Jin Zaishan's analysis.

Jin Zaishan and Jiang Zaidao took another careful look at the land on the other side of the river, then withdrew and returned.

The two returned to the camp behind and waited quietly.

One day is fleeting.

The next day, around Shen time in the afternoon, the sun shone on people at this time, and it was very warm and comfortable, without the blazing heat and heat of July and August.

Staring at the sentinel on the north bank, as soon as he found the north bank, there was a rumbling sound of war drums, followed by batches of warships gathering, and the sentinel became tense after a moment, and hurried back to the camp of the Chinese army in the rear .

When the soldiers saw Jin Zaishan, they immediately reported: "General, there has been movement in the state of Qi on the north bank. A large number of warships have gathered, and the drums are rumbling. It has already begun to cross the river for a battle."

Jin Zaishan stood up slowly, and said: "Head the order, the whole army is ready for battle."

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately went to order and arrange.

Following the implementation of the order, Jin Zaishan walked out of the tent with his helmet on.He went straight to the defensive positions on the front line, and groups of soldiers gathered quickly.

In addition, all the soldiers are also in their positions, and all the arrangements for Jin Zaishan are well prepared.

Everything is already ready.

Jin Zaishan stared into the distance, waiting quietly, waiting for the Qi army to cross the river.

Chapter 877 Lost in the first battle

The sound of rumbling war drums resounded through the sky, echoing on both sides of the Datong River.

At this moment, on the north bank of the Datong River, the army is gathering.

Warships are also gathered one by one.

These warships are temporarily recruited warships, many are commercial ships, and some are small boats.In short, all the ships near the Datong River were recruited, and more than a hundred warships gathered.

Wang Qi also stood at the North Bank Ferry, looking at the soldiers who were dispatching.

Everything is in progress.

It didn't take long, but it was Xiao Qingzhi who came in a hurry, clasped his fists and said, "I report to Your Majesty, all the artillery is already in place, and whether to launch an attack, please give instructions from Your Majesty?"

"Start the attack!"

Wang Qi ordered decisively.

Today, it is time to launch an offensive. This battle is to cross the river and gain a firm foothold on the Datong River.

As long as it has a foothold, Goguryeo can't stop it.

Xiao Qingzhi immediately turned around and shouted: "All artillery, start attacking and bomb the south bank for me."

The orderly immediately made arrangements.

The orders were conveyed one after another, and the cannons that had been deployed on the north bank ferry quickly began to reload the shells.A moment later, there was the sound of rumbling artillery shells, one after another, piercing through the air from the north bank, passing in the air, and began to fly towards the soldiers camp of Goguryeo on the south bank.

The shells were flying, and the moment Jin Zaishan heard it, he immediately shouted to hide.

Everyone, quickly evade.

In Jin Zaishan's eyes, there was even a hint of solemnity.

He knows such weapons.

In the past, the fleet of the Haixi Empire came with such cannons. Suddenly, they were caught off guard.As a result, Goguryeo did not have any defense at all, the defense line was directly torn, and the army suffered heavy losses.

Because of Jin Zaishan's experience, the line of defense was set up so that soldiers could hide in the fortifications.

Will not be killed.

When the Goguryeo soldiers hid one by one, the shells had already fallen and exploded everywhere in the fortifications.

boom! !

The first shell fell and exploded.

This shell did not fall in the erected fortifications, nor did it fall in the crowd.But after the shell exploded, in an instant, batches of steel needles and iron sheets burst out, flitting around, puffing into the fortifications, or shooting soldiers.

The screams sounded immediately.

Batch after batch of soldiers were constantly being bombed to death.

Boom! !

There were explosions one after another.

More and more shells kept falling on the ground, killing batch after batch of soldiers.

All over the battlefield, the sound of shells was deafening.

It even makes people feel uncomfortable, especially when the gunpowder smoke fills the air, too many people are injured.

Jin Zaishan was also hiding in the fortifications. He coughed twice and waved his hands to clear away the smoke in front of him. His expression was even more dignified and serious.Because the explosion of Qi's shells turned out to be more ferocious than the shells of the Haixi Empire. One explosion killed and injured countless people, and the lethality was even more tyrannical.

Jin Zaishan clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't say anything more, he still persisted silently.

Now in this battle, there is no choice.

retreat?

Where can I retreat to?

If the Datong River can't be stopped here, then Caoshan Pass is also dangerous, and neither can Yongding City.So now this first line of defense, no matter how high the price is paid, must be defended, and there must be no mistakes.

The sound of the rumbling explosion lingered in my ears. Even though many people were still injured and killed by the bomb, Jin Zaishan was as cold as iron, and he didn't take a step back. He stood firmly on the spot and waited.

Waiting for the warship of Qi to appear.

As the bombing continued, Jin Zaishan raised his head and looked outside. He saw the warships of the State of Qi on the other side of the river.

The water of the Datong River is deep and the river is wide. Such an area is not a small river ditch, and people can be arranged to dive into the water.In such a place, it is impossible to sneak in, so we can only deploy defenses on the south bank.

Today, soldiers are still suffering.

Today, soldiers are still waiting.

In Jin Zaishan's heart, he was constantly comforting himself and encouraging himself.

Be sure to stick to it.

Because there is no way out.

The bombing time was passing by little by little, and batches of Qi warships on the other side of the river were already approaching the ferry on the south bank, and they were already preparing to land.

Jin Zaishan licked his chapped lips, and he shouted: "Send the order, the Qi army is about to arrive at the ferry, prepare for me to fight back."

The orderly made arrangements.

All Goguryeo soldiers on the fortifications are ready.

Each of them had a look of hatred in their eyes.

The soldiers of Goguryeo are different from the soldiers of Xianbei. The Xianbei people have always been the enemy advancing and retreating. If they cannot win, they will retreat and surrender.But here in Goguryeo, they are more stubborn, and these Goguryeo soldiers care more about their country.

Goguryeo is about to destroy the country, and these Goguryeo soldiers are unwilling, and there is gold in the mountains agitating, so the purpose of the two countries' fighting is completely different.

This is why the Goguryeo people dared to fight.

These people are more patriotic.

As time passed, one after another warships docked, and soldiers from Qi State had already disembarked and launched an attack.

"Fight back, shoot me back."

Jin Zaishan directly issued an order, and as the order was carried out, all the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time, at this moment, quickly pulled the trigger to shoot.

The sound of bang bang guns continued to resound.

The dense bullets shot straight to the shore of the ferry, especially in the defense line arranged by Jin Zaishan. The number of Goguryeo soldiers was large, and the range of counterattacks was dense. to the shooting, so that the losses were heavy.

This scene fell into the eyes of Xiao Qingzhi and Nie Feng.

The two are in charge of this battle.

Xiao Qingzhi took the lead, and Nie Feng assisted. The two frowned when they noticed the situation near the South Bank ferry.The reason is very simple. The soldiers they dispatched to cross the river now encountered obstacles and were temporarily blocked from going south.

For the time being, Nie Feng did not order to increase the intensity of the attack, but just let the soldiers fight.

Landing on the beach is also the task of the frontline soldiers.

Xiao Qingzhi looked at this scene, but didn't say anything for the time being, after all, the battle had just begun.

The two were silent, while the soldiers crossing the river on the front line were still rushing forward, intending to break through the defense on the front line.It's just that the defense line of Goguryeo's side on the south bank, even after being brutally bombed by cannons, did not move a single bit. On the contrary, under the bombardment of cannons, it became stronger and more stable.

Such a line of defense, even Xiao Qingzhi and Nie Feng looked a little dignified.

With the help of binoculars, Wang Qi also noticed the defense of Goguryeo's side. Even through the binoculars, he could clearly see the defense line on the south bank, and saw the Goguryeo soldiers in the trenches everywhere, shooting continuously.

These people, risking their lives and forgetting to die, are completely desperate.

These people tried their best to resist.

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Majesty, now that the war has begun, a large number of soldiers crossed the river by boat, but after the large number of soldiers crossed the river, they began to be shot with rifles in an instant, so that they were shot to death. Once such a continuous Going down is not good for us. These cannons and rifles are powerful, but after all, they have not been used for a long time, so in terms of tactics, the frontline soldiers are still a little immature, and now this attack has been affected. Now, whether Make adjustments?"

"No adjustment!"

Wang Qi shook his head.

With sharp eyes, he said: "In this battle, although we personally command and sit in the town, the command of the war still rests with Xiao Qingzhi and Nie Feng, and they rely on them to arrange and dispatch. So, let's wait for them to fight for a while. Otherwise, later Is it possible for us to personally command every battle? What's more, this is just the beginning. Once the battle on the battlefield has been fought for a long time, ten or so days are common. Where are you going?"

Indeed, Wang Qi knew that if he intervened immediately and let Zhou Zishan and Zhugefeng be in charge of staff scheduling, the situation would be different.But in such a situation, the generals below will not be able to practice.

Zhou Zishan and Zhuge Feng also nodded when they heard this.

Whether it is Xiao Qingzhi or Nie Feng, they are all in charge of a military region. Under such circumstances, it is not embarrassing to be unable to win Datongjiang here?

Therefore, it is necessary to train soldiers.
