I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 946 The Danger of the Chinese Army Palace Tent

The battlefield is very chaotic, or the battlefield that hit the palace account of the Great Song Dynasty is very chaotic.

Tens of thousands of war horses went crazy and charged the Song Dynasty's central army in a straight line. The chariot formation of the Song Dynasty, under Zhao Xi's guidance, was already stacked with chariots, and it was still scattered in pieces.

Although the line of defense was not breached, the counterattack could not be organized for a while.

The soldiers in the fighting position on the chariot were dizzy from the impact of the horses, and could no longer fight at all.

Not to mention that the hands and feet are messed up and they can't stand still. Even if they can stand still, they can't launch gunpowder at this time... There is no direction at all, and they may be launched directly to their own rear camp.

This time, Di Qing was right about the impact of the Beiliao fire horse, but he did not expect that the Crazy Horse and the cavalry launched the attack together in Beiliao this time.

At the same time as the crazy horse crashed into the camp, the cavalry from Beiliao also arrived...

The Pan cavalry team had already broken out of the chariot defense line, and after the Pan cavalry team broke out of the line of defense, the gap was blocked again.

The entire position of the Song Dynasty's central army was in the dark at this time. The Fan cavalry and the Beiliao cavalry had already killed together, and because of this situation, the gunpowder bombs of the Song Dynasty could not be fired in large quantities.

That is to say, the Musketeers still have combat power, hiding behind the messy chariots, shooting continuously, and taking away the lives of Beiliao horses or cavalry from time to time.

"Officials, the Chinese military palace tents should be withdrawn!"

Wang Anshi once again spoke to dissuade.This time, Di Qing didn't dare to analyze the battle situation anymore.

Obviously, the current situation is already very dangerous for the palace account of the Great Song Dynasty.There are many contingencies in the battlefield. Maybe the Northern Liao cavalry will break through the gap and rush into the defense line, which will eventually cause an accident to the entire frontline commander.

Di Qing couldn't afford such a risk.Although Di Qing felt that it was not time to withdraw the Chinese army tents, if he was the coach, maybe he should fight out instead of retreating.

However, the current Chinese military tents are government officials, and there are a lot of civil servants who can't afford weapons...

"Officials, withdraw the tents of the Chinese army! If you let the minister command here..."

Wang Shao also spoke.Although Di Qing is older than him, he is a civil servant, a cabinet minister, and has experience in commanding large armies in battle, so he has the ability to take over the command right now.

"Officials, the retreat of the Chinese army's tents does not mean that the war is unfavorable. Has the official mentioned a concept of strategic retreat? At this time, it is necessary to retreat. The minister is willing to command here with the elder Wang Ge...~"

Even Zhang Dun, who likes adventure the most, feels that the officials should retreat at this time.

Da Song didn't dare to take this risk, and there was no need to take it.

Zhou Tong and Zhong Jianzhong were constantly sending troops to the Chinese army's tent, but they were hit by the same intensity, and they couldn't take care of this side at all, and they didn't dare to deploy too many troops to support them... A breakthrough in Beiliao will also lead to a defeat, or a big defeat.

Although it looked dangerous, the line of defense was always solid.

"Do you really feel that you have to retreat the Chinese army? Or do you think that I can watch the soldiers fight and retreat on their own?"

"Don't talk anymore! Once the defense line of the Chinese army is breached, it means that Song Dynasty will not be able to make contributions in this battle."

"So what about retreating? Let go of the defense line and let Beiliao go around. Even if you don't go around and fight, there is still a possibility that the Beiliao cavalry will enter the territory of the country and poison the people!"

"I am the Son of Heaven, and behind me are my people. If the king abandons his people, why should the soldiers fight to the death?"

"Don't bring up the retreat of the Chinese army tents. At this time, whether the frontline headquarters is normal or not is related to the entire battle situation, so don't act rashly!"

It's really not yet the most dangerous time, the chaos is a bit chaotic, as long as they survive this period, survive this shock, it is absolutely impossible for Beiliao to organize such a shock.

Zhao Xi knew very well that this should be the strongest charge in Beiliao.

The battle was still going on, and when the mad horse was wiped out, the cavalry behind, even if they looked at death like home, couldn't do the same life-and-death impact as the mad horse.

With such a buffer, the chariot soldiers stabilized slightly.

However, at this time, the chariot soldiers discovered that they could not participate in combat at all.

The Pan cavalry had already mixed up with the Northern Liao cavalry to fight, and the gunpowder bombs could no longer play a role.

The firing of gunpowder bombs at this time is definitely a bombing regardless of whether the enemy is the enemy... The people of the Fanqi team will also be killed by the gunpowder bombs.

"Officials... this..."

Organized the line of defense again, and when the important officials looked at the battlefield again, they were also shocked by the chaos on the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty have been mixed together regardless of the enemy...

Alas... the advantage of firearms is gone at this moment.

Zhao Xi couldn't get angry, although he didn't order the Fanqi team to rush out of the line of defense.

But Zhao Xi also knew that, whether it was Zhou Tong or Zhong Jianzhong, the reason why the Pan cavalry and the auxiliary Pan cavalry were all allowed to cross the defense line was to relieve the pressure on the Chinese army's palace tent and prevent the Northern Liao cavalry from breaking through the Chinese army's palace tent. defense.

The pan cavalry was originally restrained, it was originally coordinated with the chariots, and it was originally intended to be used for pursuit at the end, but at this time they fought with the Beiliao cavalry, which also made the entire chariot army useless.

At this time, the palace tent of the Chinese army has become a pure spectator...~
"Order the musketeers to go out of the defense line, and assist the cavalry to fight in accordance with the coordinated combat method of infantry and cavalry!"

Fortunately, most of the Fanqi team are from Dangxiang and Tubo, and they are also cavalry who are quite familiar with war horses.

In the melee of the entire cavalry, at least the Song side did not have an obvious disadvantage.

At this time, as long as the musketeers attack, there is no need to do much damage, as long as they fire cold guns, it will inevitably cause the distraction of the Northern Liao cavalry, which will naturally have a positive effect on the Pan cavalry.

"After leaving the defense line, the bayonets should be loaded and arranged in five rows, and the grenades should be adequately equipped to prevent the impact of the Northern Liao cavalry at any time."

"In addition, the Musketeers focus on support and adopt free-firing tactics..."

Zhao Xi believed that the well-trained Musketeers knew how to fight such a battle.

After all, it still can't compare with the firearms of later generations...

The Musketeers are out of the line of defense, but the chariot soldiers are still unable to play a role. They can only be on guard, watching the outside of the chariot defense, trying to draw a chance to fire two shots...

It's a pity that the cavalry's combat speed is too fast. I just saw a small area with only the cavalry of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

It is even said that after the gunpowder bomb was fired, it even injured the cavalry team...

"Let the chariot soldiers be on guard, don't fire any more gunpowder."

When the second gunpowder bomb accidentally injured the Fanqi team, Zhao Xi gave the order directly.

"Officials, it's just the Fanqi team, assisting the Fanqi..."

"Wang Xiang, the Fanqi team is now also the battle order of the Song Dynasty. When the soldiers are fighting the enemy bravely, they also need to guard against being accidentally injured by their own firearms..."

Zhao Xi understood what Wang Anshi meant. They were all Dangxiang people and Tubo people. They died as soon as they died. As long as they can effectively kill the vital forces of the Northern Liao Dynasty, it doesn't matter how many people die.

Zhao Xi didn't think so.

Originally, he was not of any other race, and in Zhao Xi's eyes, he was a son and daughter of China.

What's more, they are still the army of Song Dynasty...~
Official orders are still to be carried out.Wang Anshi was very unwilling, and even Zhang Dun felt that it was unnecessary.

However, Wang Shao, Di Qing and others were obviously relieved after the official gave the order.

In fact, after recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, it is still necessary to rely on these cavalry teams to fight against the nomadic peoples on the grasslands and to defend the entire northern line of defense of the Song Dynasty.

They have all been reviewed and trained in the martial arts hall. They are the backbone of the Song Dynasty's future cavalry. How can Zhao Xi be willing to waste it like this?

……

"Report...~Zhexing Department defeated the defense of the western part of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the army is marching towards the Chinese army. The vanguard, that is, the Fanqi team, is already fifty miles away from the battlefield of the Chinese army...~"

Finally carried it through, until the signs of encirclement and suppression appeared...~
Just waiting for this moment, as long as the two wings break through the defense of Beiliao, the overall situation of this battle will basically be settled.

"Report... Wang Shunchen's troops defeated the defense of the Northern Liao Dynasty and led a large army to surround the Chinese army. The vanguard cavalry team is already fifty miles away from the battlefield of the Chinese army..."

it is good!The two wings have all broken through, presumably Beiliao has also received the news at this time, right?

In the originally dignified tent of the Chinese army palace, after being reported by these two reports, the rain will clear up in an instant.

Wen Yanbo was not reserved at all, and he asked someone to help him remove his armor... Even he was wearing armor during the attack from Beiliao.

An old man in his 80s, wearing armor, has to stand with the officials, which is really tiring.

"Fifty miles... It seems that the two wings can join forces with the Chinese army today, that is to say, a certain degree of encirclement and suppression can be completed today."

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy! Beiliao will deploy troops from the two wings and concentrate its superior forces on the central army. It will definitely consider the possibility of the defenses on the two wings being penetrated. In order to avoid being encircled and suppressed, Beiliao will definitely intercept the two wings and join forces with the central army."

"It's no longer a pure defense when the two wings meet the army in the middle. It's hard to maximize the advantage of chariots. And it's really hard to say that there is no advantage in cavalry battles."

"There have been two years of civil strife, and I didn't expect the war horses of Beiliao to have such fighting power?"

"The combat power is also at this time. After this battle is over, most of Beiliao's war horses will be abolished. In the end, they will be able to pull rail carriages."

"It seems that Beiliao has put all its eggs in one basket..."

Once again there were voices chatting about the battle situation in the palace tent, and everyone could really relax.

"Order, the chariot soldiers of Wang Shunchen's department and Zhexing's department should distance themselves from the cavalry and encircle and suppress the Chinese army..."

"Only in this way can Beiliao think that the two wings are only cavalry to support the central army. The defense lines on the two wings of Beiliao are not completely collapsed, but the cavalry breakout support."

"Only in this way can Beiliao make up its mind to continue fighting instead of fleeing..."

When discussing the start of the war in the palace tent, Zhao Xi gave the order, but still postponed the military order to join forces.

When the officials explained the reasons, no one would have any objections.

Everyone knows what the ultimate goal is.

Beiliao's two large-scale charges within five days were indeed achievements, and it also allowed Beiliao to see the possibility of winning by surprise.

At this time, once the two wings are surrounded, I am afraid that Beiliao will withdraw its troops directly...~ Fleeing to the north of Yanshan Mountain, hoping to make a comeback, is much better than destroying the entire army here.

The battle lasted until dusk, and it will be dark soon, and the two sides will withdraw from the battlefield soon...~
However, the messengers of the Great Song Dynasty went to the armies from all walks of life at this time.

"How about the east side?"

The battlefield has quieted down, but the palace tents of the Great Song Zhongjun are brightly lit, and all the soldiers accompanying the army are still in the palace tents.

"Going back to the official's house, the veteran has just read the report. The Yunzhou army has broken through the defense line of the Shangjing Road in the Northern Liao Dynasty. The so-called suspicious soldiers in the Northern Liao Dynasty will be defeated in one blow. The Yunzhou army is chasing them."

The Chinese army was quite chaotic that day, and the Chinese army was probably the most dangerous on the entire front, so they didn't pay attention to the reports from other theaters.

At this time, the fighting in the Chinese army stopped, and it was only in the mind to summarize the progress of the various armies, and to formulate a plan for the next step.

"The Weizhou Army arrived at the designated location seven days ago, before the Yunzhou Army's operation, and completely blocked the original Xijing Road of Beiliao and the passage of the frontline headquarters of Beiliao."

This is the original strategy...
Let the Weizhou Army go north first, cut off the Xijing Road in the Northern Liaoyuan and the front line, and then the Yunzhou Army sends troops to the east...~
In this way, to a certain extent, it is possible to encircle Beiliao.

"You can't expect to completely cut off the communication between the various ministries of the Northern Liao Dynasty on the prairie. There is no fixed route on the prairie. The so-called passage is nothing more than the most direct, or the straight passage from the Xijing Road in the Northern Liaoyuan to the frontline headquarters."

"It's hard for the Weizhou Army to intercept and kill all the communication cavalry in the Beiliao. The news that the suspicious soldiers on the Xijing Road and Shangjing Road in the Beiliao were seen through, or even defeated, arrived at the frontline headquarters of the Beiliao at most two or three days later."

"It will take two or three days for the Yunzhou Army and the Weizhou Army to join forces and attack the suspected soldiers deployed by the Beiliao in Xijing and Shangjing."

Today's surprise and absence of danger also proved that Di Qing's judgment was correct.

At this time, Di Qing once again dared to open his mouth to argue.

To be honest, Di Qing was very anxious all day long, and even once thought of a line of defense and mounted a battle.

Veterans such as Zhong Er and Guo Kui were also ready to go into battle at a certain time.

Just thinking about it, but once there is a gap in the defense line, these old generals must also protect the palace tents of the Chinese army... After all, Di Qing's point of view at the beginning was the opinion of the entire generals.

"That's true! When the Weizhou army went north, what they blocked was the route that Huangcheng Division had scouted for many years. However, Beiliao is a local, and the messengers are familiar with the terrain. The battle situation on the Yunzhou army's side cannot be hidden from Beiliao how long."

"Looking at the distance, it will take two or three days more."

Civil servants who had led the army, such as Wang Shao and Zhang Dun, also agreed with Di Qing's analysis.

As for civil servants such as Wen Yanbo and Wang Anshi, they have no opinion.

"In this way, the real big battle will be two or three days away."

"According to this analysis, Yunzhou and Weizhou will attack the teams on the Northern Liaoxijing Road and the Shangjing Road, probably tomorrow..."

"Order all the armies, no matter what the battle situation of the armies is, at the time of Mao three days later, all the armies must attack with the whole army, and launch a full-line encirclement and suppression campaign against Beiliao!"

This day is finally coming, whether we can achieve the expected goal or not, we will see in three days!
