I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 321 The First Shot

Niu Ben's quick promise made Zhe Kerou feel a little uncomfortable.

How should I put it, since the guard battalion came to Lin Mansion to train the new army, not to mention the straightforward cooperation, even the training of those ordnance, it seems to be to avoid Zhe family, every time they will be taken out of the city.

Not to mention fighting together, even if they wanted to communicate with each other, they didn't dare to open their mouths.

This is due to the mentality of the ego.

In fact, the soldiers of the guard battalion really didn't mean that. If Zhejia asked for an exchange, he would readily agree.

Not to mention that there is a feasible face, even the kind of arrogance that the guard camp is used to, will also agree.

However, due to the system of the Lin Mansion and the mentality of the Zhe family, they always feel that the new army is avoiding them... In fact, how can guns and other firearms be played in the state city?

As for now... the guard battalion has been ordered a long time ago: in this war, the new troops belong to each other and are allowed to use firearms.

Firearms, to Liaoxia, have always been kept in high secrecy.

The so-called camp, especially for the camp of the Xixia side, is just a show.

The Xixia people are used to galloping on horseback, but not good at defending the city. For them, the camp is nothing more than a sentry point.Barter in peacetime, garrison troops in wartime.

The location of setting up this camp... This area is full of ravines, how can there be any dangerous pass for setting up a camp?

The Xixia people are not like the Song Dynasty. They set up camps in a planned way.What is the chain of seven stars, what is the three-legged confrontation, all have their sources and sayings, and they can all refer to each other.

Xixia people are not used to being trapped in camps, they are more used to riding horses...

Therefore, it is really not difficult for Zhe Kerou to fight such a camp.

Greeting the new army, I just want to really see the fighting style of the new army, so I can make preparations in advance...

"Commander, how are you going to fight?"

"Commander Niu, please speak clearly..."

This is the reason for the lack of communication, feeling unfamiliar, hiding everything, and testing.

The soldiers of the guard battalion were greatly influenced by Zhao Xi, and they really didn't like this practice of saying half and keeping half.

Since the new army was invited to join the battle, there should be a specific strategy, and this time to say this polite word?
"Commander Zhe, it's not difficult to take down the camp. If you want to wipe it all out...do you think this will work?"

"The new army attacked the camp, and the commander chose to ambush in the direction where the western thieves were fleeing. Let's try to make sure that no one escapes."

"This will prevent us from firing the first shot and affecting the main attack direction of the entire two sides."

"After the camp is laid down, the commander can choose someone to dress up as a Xixia person, continue to guard the camp, and receive supplies from the Xixia side. How about it?"

Niu Ben was not polite, and simply told him what he wanted to call.

There are many lessons on the military strategy of the guard battalion, and His Royal Highness often talks about some messy and non-existent wars.

The general soldiers of the guard battalion are very clear when it comes to tactics.

The point is that this method of building strongholds and pitting deserters seems to have been used during the Southern Expedition.

Niu Ben's main consideration is: we can't mess up all the plans of His Royal Highness because of the fight here... In that case, even if we lay down ten camps, it won't help, on the contrary, it will be useless.

Zhe Kerou was very surprised, he was just being polite, but he was not polite at all.

The problem is, the entire tactical arrangement is quite standard...~ It's just a bit overbearing to want to wipe it all out.

The Xixia people are not soldiers of the imperial court. They rely on horses, not legs. If they want to escape, there is nothing we can do.Not to mention that there are few horses, it is a commanding cavalry. Compared with the Xixia people, their riding skills are much worse...~ They grew up on horseback since they were young.

As for Zhe Kerou, all he thought about was laying down the camp. As for how many Xixia people he could wipe out... I never thought that it would be a great achievement to be able to behead thirty or fifty people.

I didn't expect that the guard battalion's opening would be annihilation...

"Commander Niu, it's too difficult to wipe them all out. Our camp defenders are all infantry and there are no cavalry. If the western thieves want to escape, even if we pursue them, we will only be killed in the end."

Such precedents are not without, there should be many, the guard battalion should not be unclear...

He provoked the incident. If it was really because of this camp, no matter whether it was damage to the Zhejia army or the loss of the new army, he would not be able to bear it alone as a commander.

So, he had to explain it first.

He has the thick tree root of His Royal Highness, but he doesn't have it.

"Commander, it's an ambush, not a chase. Of course, I know that infantry should not chase cavalry... As for whether they can be wiped out, we will only know when we fight."

Zhe Kerou didn't know the effect of firearms on cavalry, especially the effect Xixia war horses had before targeted training, but Niu Ben had seen it.

They are all war horses, and Xixia war horses may not be better than Yunnan horses.Even an elephant can't bear it, and I still don't believe how powerful this Western Xia war horse is.

have to!The words have been said, as for people not listening, then there is nothing he can do about it.

As long as the pursuit is not allowed and the soldiers are not injured, this time, let the soldiers of the guard battalion also know how powerful the Xixia cavalry is, it is one thing.

It's just that, originally they wanted to cooperate with the attack, but now they became the main attack of the new army, and they cooperated in setting up an ambush.

Niu Ben is not as familiar with this area as Zhe Kerou, a local snake. All the ambush points and soldiers are arranged by Zhe Kerou. Niu Ben just waits for the ambush to be in place, just startle the bird's nest... ...and then there's bird hunting.

Two wheel cannons, not many, there are only two in the Lin Mansion.

More than 1000 soldiers of the new army lined up neatly like that, pushing the two wheel cannons, approaching the camp step by step...

"Commander Niu, you're now within range of your bow and arrow."

Niu Ben stopped for a while, stretched out his right hand to his eyes, flexed and stretched his fingers a few times...

"I have to go further..."

The wheel cannon has such a long range that it can't reach the gate of the village at all.

"Commander Niu..."

"It's okay...the gunpowder and the launch team stay, and the rest continue to move forward."

The Xixia people's bows and arrows have been shot, but... Zhe Kerou also understands why Niu Ben said it's okay.

The jingling arrows just hit the armor of the soldiers of the new army, leaving no trace... Zhe Kerou also stopped his movements of dodging and blocking the arrows, he was also wearing the armor of the new army .

This equipment... well, I really can't compare it.

At this time, the Xixia people had already opened the gate of the village, and nearly [-] war horses came out of the gate one after another, and began to form a team...

This distance, that is, a sprint of a war horse, can be reached in an instant... Being killed by this bull run, there is no chance to escape in this situation.

Zhe Kerou persuaded him when he opened the gate of the village, but he didn't listen... Anyway, stay with me.

"Elevation thirty, one base...launch!"

Zhe Kerou was ready to fight desperately, but he heard Niu Ben yelled something he didn't understand.

then……
