Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 887

He intends to develop chariots, but some people don't take it seriously. Chariots have long been eliminated, and they have sprung up one after another in the middle. They are not pure chariots, but belong to the baggage carts, which protect the infantry archers against the cavalry.

With the continuous development of horse and infantry tactics, the infantry covered by transport vehicles is no longer competent for battlefield tasks. Everyone is very resistant to the reorganization of chariot troops, thinking that this is a waste of limited resources. The reason is that the vehicles are not applicable and the cost is too high. The cost of the barracks is equivalent to four or five horse battalions or seventeen infantry battalions.

However, he didn't think so. The chariot made by imitating the Ming Dynasty Wugang chariot could not only be pulled by horses, but also be pulled by gears under certain circumstances and pushed by two people, barely qualified for mobile combat.

This is the rudiment of the main battle tank of later generations. The emergence and development of anything will inevitably encounter resistance, and the appearance of the tank is also the same.

Nothing can be accomplished overnight, and everything is done step by step. He does not expect such a chariot with horsepower and manpower to achieve major results. As long as he can adapt to the war and get the approval of the soldiers, he will be satisfied with continuous development.

His original intention was to set up a chariot army and develop several brigade towns, but the resistance was considerable.Don't say that people's ideas are hard to change, even financial resources are also very reluctant. If you really build a car army plus a brigade town equivalent to a car army, I am afraid it will cause forced conflicts in the army. How many troops can a car army cost to arm?I'm afraid it will be [-]% of the strength of the Northern Guards.

The only thing we can do is to set up two lower brigades mainly composed of tanks, and each army is equipped with a tank battalion, which can be regarded as beginning to take shape.

Although the establishment is in the lower brigade, there are only less than 4000 people. Under his strong intervention, the configuration of the generals in the car brigade is very high. For the route of saving the country, people are first ordained. Now that there are monks, temples are easy to build.

Qu Duan's insistence made him very annoyed, but he couldn't express it too much. He had a very good impression of those young soldiers who joined the army. Young people are quick to accept things. They haven't got the essence yet, let alone rich experience, but they already know Profound, as long as it is practiced, it is definitely a material that can be made.

"Your Excellency, you should stop Taiwei Qu immediately. It's too shameful to continue to make trouble like this." Yu Wenyi said decisively. He didn't have a good impression of Qu Duan, and his words were not polite. To be blunt, people who have the right and the wrong have never had a good end.

Zong Liang glanced at Yu Wenyi, he came here more than ten days ago, and he was highly valued by Wang Xiu, it seems that he needs to focus on training.

He didn't care, he didn't have that leisurely mind to compete with the county magistrate, but Yu Wenyi's attitude didn't like it, so he said: "Sir, no matter how much you argue, it can't affect the war."

Wang Xiu nodded and sighed secretly that Zhong Lirui was not there. If Zhong Lirui was there, he would definitely have nothing to say, and immediately ordered Xuanfu to deal with Si Gangang's arbitrary decision, and directly mobilized the 52nd brigade town to fight. How can there be so much nonsense.

It is true that Yu Wenyi is the person he likes, and he is also quite talented. He has a standpoint and is very tactful in just a few words. He can see this person's ability, but he has too little experience, just like Zhong Lirui back then. Without five or six years of tempering, it is difficult to become successful.Thinking about it, he had already made up his mind, and said: "We need to be cautious in interfering with the capital school. It's just that the 46th Brigade Town reinforces Pingqiang City. The strength is too weak. The 52nd Brigade Town follows up. It's a good choice."

"Follow up?" Zong Liang didn't notice the meaning of the word, and the aftertaste flashed in the corner of Wang Xiu's eyes.

Ren Duoye is a descendant of the Ren Duo clan of the Dangxiang family. He has been skilled in horse bow and horse since he was a child, and he is highly valued by the elders of the clan.

This time, he followed Li Shifu to attack Pingqiang City, and led an elite capture force, who imprisoned thousands of sons in costumes to attack Dongguan City.

It must be said that Dongguan City is heavily guarded. Dongguan City is backed by a low hill, which is a small branch extending from a distant mountain range. Quite abrupt.

It is also a barrier to monitor the roads of Dongguan City. Xia Jun failed to defeat several times, so he had to attack from the front. He couldn't rely on the tactics of encircling all sides and sneaking a little bit. I don't know how much he suffered and how many people died. .

He decided to attack the hills to the east of Guancheng first, and then turn around to deal with Dongguan City. He mobilized more than [-] people to prepare for the attack.The attacking force was divided into two groups, one to contain the defenders of Dongguan City, and the other to attack directly up the mountain along the ridge.

There is a stockade attached to Dongguan City on the hill, as well as several independent small fortresses, where more than [-] imperial guards are stationed, and more than [-] Huanqing Township soldiers are stationed.

Cheng Jiao was very worried that the Shanzhai was a matter of whether Guandong Guancheng could be defended, and there must be no mistakes.Because once the Xia army occupied the cottage, they would be able to overlook the entire Dongguan city, and even the main city, and use the five-party flag to control the advance and retreat of the army, attacking weak points, saving time and effort and being effective, which is very beneficial to the battle.

Dongguan City is built on the mountain, and the gains and losses of the Shanzhai are directly related to the gains and losses of Guan City. Once Dongguan City falls, the Xia Army will cut off the Song Army's transshipment channel, which will deal a serious blow to the entire Pingqiang City. If you have time to surround it for a long time, you can go down without a fight. Guancheng.

Looking at the Xia army troops being deployed, his heart was heavy. Even though there were hundreds of defenders on the mountain, he was still not at ease.

However, the small earth mountain cannot accommodate thousands of defenders, and the deployment of troops is already at the maximum, and there is no way to use the local army.Every pass city needs defenders, and the guards are not strong enough to use, so they can only use the township troops with strong combat effectiveness.

The rural army should not be underestimated either. The local soldiers on the fringe are extremely powerful, and with a little training, they can become a strong force. The Huanqing archers are famous, but their numbers are too small.

Hundreds of Xia soldiers marched slowly up the mountain in several teams. They had swords and cards in front and bows and crossbows in the back. They didn't panic or impatient at all. They looked like elite soldiers.There is no way to do it. Siege can be used to consume the strength of the opponent, but mountain warfare is a different matter. If you use weak troops, it is basically useless. If you take it, you will be slaughtered. It is better to use strong troops. The troops are real.

They don't show much, and they advance firmly step by step. Even if someone dies under the crossbow, they are so calm. When they reach a certain position, they will suppress the Song army with bows and arrows.

Mountain error?The defenders were no strangers to Xia Jun. It seemed that Xia Jun was familiar with the elites of mountain warfare. They were elites from Hengshan. This battle would not be easy.

"Don't panic, they only have more than 200 Qiang Shanye, and the rest are Uighur bastards, shoot them to death with arrows."
