As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Just as the Liaodong Army had not yet attacked, the deputy general suddenly pulled Ying Guogong and shouted in a tone that seemed frightened and terrified: "Guo... Guogong! Look!"

"Ah? What do you see?" Looking in the direction pointed by the lieutenant general, Ying Guogong saw a cloud of smoke rising from the foot of the mountain behind the Liaodong Army, as if...

Well, don't act as if, everyone in the army knows that that thing is definitely a large-scale cavalry charge.

"Is it... the reinforcements of the Liaodong Army?" Theoretically speaking, the reinforcements from the Liaodong Army probably came from the north, so Duke Ying's heart sank when he saw the smoke.

But the next moment he felt that something was wrong, because the speed of this cavalry was a bit too fast. If it was the reinforcements of the Liaodong Army, then they would probably not use this charge-like speed to charge towards the back of their side. It seems that the posture is not a firefighter. It's a surprise attack...

"Surprise attack?" Ying Guogong was a little dazed, and even forgot that the Liaodong Army was advancing down the city: "Is that our reinforcement? Which soldier is it?"

"My lord, let's stop the Liaodong Army's attack first, shall we?" The lieutenant general trembled a little.

Ying Guogong ignored him, just stared at the cavalrymen rushing towards him from afar, and kept thinking in his mind: if reinforcements were made, the Liaodong Army's second attack would inevitably be interrupted, and they would suffer heavy losses if caught off guard. So after a while, do you want to open the city gate and go out to fight for a while?

But when his eyes fell on the group of urban administrators of Wucheng soldiers and horses, he lost his mind in an instant—it would be fine if he didn't go out, but if he did, the capital might be destroyed today.

And after thinking of this, Duke Ying couldn't help but feel a little worried: that cavalry looks like two or three thousand, if they don't open the city to respond, if they are entangled by the Liaodong Army, wouldn't it be a sheep to a tiger?

Speaking of which, where did this cavalry come from?

clang clang...

Just as Ying Guogong was thinking, the Liaodong army who had rushed halfway suddenly called gold, and it seemed that they also found the cavalry attacking behind them.

With Ying Guogong's eyesight, he vaguely saw a guy dressed as a military officer on the side of the Chinese army who seemed to be jumping and yelling. He seemed to want the army to turn around as soon as possible and deal with the cavalry's surprise attack, but at this moment, he would even withdraw the troops. No, how could it be possible to turn around so quickly?

Soon, the cavalry was divided into two and surrounded from both sides of the central army—yes, two or three thousand cavalry dared to divide their troops. It looked as if they were going to eat the entire Liaodong army, especially... …

"Die!" Ying Guogong was so angry that he slapped the bricks on the city wall and cursed: "Which idiot commanded this? Is this how the cavalry is used?"

Theoretically speaking, a sneak attack plus a cavalry charge can be pushed all the way from the Liaodong Army camp, and then the intensive cavalry charge will cause huge troubles for the Liaodong Army before they have time to completely turn around. A team of [-] people, how fucked up this operation is.

But at the next moment, everyone on the top of the city was stunned: after the formation of the cavalry was fully deployed, they stopped advancing, but stopped in unison, and then dense gunshots rang out.

"That's Xishanwei? A man from Huamanlou?!" Duke Ying suddenly became agitated: "Why is he here?"

564 You Can't Get Away From Me!

Ying Guogong read it right, it was Xishanwei who stabbed the chrysanthemum of the Liaodong Army, and the leader of the team was naturally Huamanlou himself.

Logically speaking, although Yao Zijie is shrinking his defense on the western front, most of the Liaodong Army is stationed on the western front. Theoretically, Xishanwei cannot spare any troops to support the northern gate. Under normal circumstances, can he Keeping Xishan is a problem.

But in reality, Yao Zijie didn't dare to touch Xishan at all at the moment. Even if he didn't mention Xishan's insane artillery formation, Jinov alone would be enough for him to drink a pot-in fact, there are seven or eight Keno ships now. Fu Piao harassed the Liaodong army infinitely, which made Yao Zijie's process of building the ice city and digging holes extremely slow, and even blew up many holes that had just been dug...

Then, when the defense is sufficient but the offense is insufficient, Huamanlou's strategy is very simple: guerrilla warfare.

When it comes to guerrilla warfare, is there anyone in this world who understands better than Huamanlou, a time-traveling flower-growing rabbit?

This thing is our military tradition!

With the theory, there are also conditions for practical operation, and it is a very advantageous condition: war horse.

Don't forget that since Wala paid tribute, the transaction with Wala has been in the hands of Huamanlou. Although the trade is handed over to other merchants, the horses returned from the transaction are all in the hands of Huamanlou.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that in the territory of Dazhao, Xishanwei's horses are second to none.

The horses from Wala are fast and have strong endurance. Because there are too many of them, Huamanlou even set up a two-man rider, which makes the mobility of Xishanwei reach the limit that can be achieved at the moment. Is it wasted?

Of course, the young soldiers of the Xishan Guard do not yet have the ability to mount and shoot. Although this item is included in daily training, it is not easy to complete loading and shooting while moving. It's difficult, that's why Huamanlou's seemingly stupid style of play today: spread out and approach, stand still and shoot.

As the messengers around Huamanlou waved down the flag, more than [-] young soldiers fired in batches in two stages, causing heavy casualties to the Liaodong Army who were caught off guard almost instantly.

The middle army of the Liaodong Army was in chaos. Military officers from thousands of households were looking for cover while shouting at the soldiers to raise their shields to defend, but because they were called back in the middle of the siege, how could it be possible to organize them in such a short while? effective defense?

As for why Hua Manlou was able to take the time to poke the chrysanthemum of the Liaodong Army...

The small hot air balloon floating in the sky behind Xishanwei is the answer.

Bah bah bah bah!

Gunpowder smoke filled the entire battlefield, and Xishanwei slowly advanced, shooting methodically, until the Liaodong Army dared not show their heads.Although the Qianhu who led the troops kept screaming and wanted to counterattack, under the suppression of Xishanwei's firepower, the Liaodong Army could not even organize an effective defense.

Some brave soldiers raised their crossbows and wanted to shoot at each other, but the range of the bows and arrows was a problem, and when they bent their bows and set their arrows, they would be taken care of by Xishanwei, and they would be knocked down in a few breaths; there were also some soldiers He wanted to raise the big shield to push forward, but after rushing a few steps, he realized that it was useless to rush up alone, so he could only retreat cowardly.

A group of about [-] people from a very tough-looking hundred households gathered to form a team, holding up their shields and launching a fearless charge to one side, but Xishanwei didn't even look at the group of people, just continued to shoot in an orderly manner, When this group of guys rushed to thirty or fifty steps, a dozen or so young soldiers stopped and touched their waists together...

This heroic Baihu died tragically, but it has to be said that this was the most decent counterattack of the Liaodong Army.

On the city wall, Duke Ying was extremely relieved to see it, and at the same time had a look of helplessness.

The situation under the city is already very clear. If a cavalry force of 3000 to [-] can be organized to charge out of the city for a while, the Liaodong army at the north gate will be destroyed, but unfortunately he can't move at all now Soldiers--the combat power of the Wucheng soldiers and horses, it is a question of whether this group of people can form a cavalry formation, let alone charge and kill?

But soon he didn't have to worry about it anymore, because Huamanlou withdrew abruptly.

The lieutenant looked blankly at Xishanwei, who was leaving without hesitation, and then at Duke Ying, and said, "Master Xishan, what is the meaning of this... Uncle Xishan?"

In his opinion, the Xishan Guards had beaten the Liaodong Army without any power to fight back. If they were given time, it would not be an exaggeration to wipe out the Liaodong Army completely. But when the fighting was in full swing, Huamanlou suddenly withdrew. Do you not want to break the siege of the capital?

Although the lieutenant general didn't say that, Duke Ying understood it. He gritted his teeth and glared at the lieutenant general: "You know what! If you hit the north gate like this, you won't dare to attack the city?"

"It's...it's true."

"Don't talk nonsense, let the soldiers go to repair in batches, it seems that the Liaodong Army will not attack the city today, I will go to the south city to see!"

"Yes."

In fact, Ying Guogong didn't understand why Huamanlou suddenly withdrew for a while, so he could only find an excuse for Huamanlou temporarily, so as to prevent some people in the capital who were good at infighting from chewing their tongues.

After getting down the city wall, Ying Guogong had some ideas: "Could it be that someone from the Liaodong Army came to support them?"

……

On Xishanwei's side, Zhao Ren looked back at every step and reluctantly left the battlefield: "One hour is enough, and the North Gate can be wiped out in one hour..."

Hua Manlou gave him a blank look: "Yao Zijie has already reacted, not to mention we can't stand fighting like that, if we don't leave now, we really don't want to leave."

"I know, don't I feel it's a pity?" Zhao Ren touched the hot barrel: "This thing needs to be improved."

That's right, Huamanlou withdrew not only because of the movement in Yao Zijie's camp, not only because of the strategic thinking of changing a place with one shot, but also because the firecrackers are so real that they can't help it-the heat dissipation problem of the blunderbuss tubes has always been a problem. It is a big problem for Xishan artisans.

But from a tactical point of view, the purpose of today's surprise attack has been achieved: it interrupted the Liaodong Army's siege, and created a deep psychological shadow on them. Hua Manlou can guarantee that the group of people at the North Gate will not be able to slow down for two or three days. Come.

As morale has not yet recovered, there is no major problem at the North Gate.

"All change horses and go east according to the original route!" Hua Manlou greeted Zhao Ren and said, "Why don't you stay in Xishan to improve the firecrackers when you go back today?"

Zhao Ren immediately said: "You think well, the battle is not over yet, don't you want to get rid of me!"

Hua Manlou rolled his eyes and ignored the brat.

(Happy New Years everyone!)

565. Chase!

Bang!

The only table left in the western camp of the Liaodong Army was scrapped by Yao Zijie, who was trembling with anger.

"The building is full of flowers! The building is full of flowers!"

Yao Zijie, who kicked the broken table, couldn't even speak a complete sentence, panting heavily, kicked the broken table again, and accidentally stepped on the leg of the table with half of his foot when he landed, but Listen to a bang...

Sprained foot.

"Hiss..." Anyone who has sprained their feet knows how uncomfortable the pain is at that moment. It's not a heart-pounding pain, but a kind of...

Well, there is the pain that shakes two or three seconds ago, and the sour feeling after the recovery is relieved can make people put on a pain mask for an instant.

In the process, Yao Zijie's angry face suddenly became extremely distorted, and he limped and wanted to find a place to sit down, causing the deputy general to say, "General, are you okay?" General, you poof...', although he tried his best to cover it up with a cough, Yao Zijie still glanced at him unkindly: "Is it funny!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." The deputy general looked away with difficulty: "General, what shall we do next...cough?"

After Yao Zijie gave him a hard look, he tried to calm himself down and think of a way.

The support troops from the western front have arrived, and the news came back that more than [-] people were killed and more than [-] people were injured in the battle at the north gate. Although it is not considered a serious injury, the morale has been hit and it is no longer suitable for siege— — This kind of battle damage does not leave anyone alone, so whoever is replaced will not be discouraged?

Yao Zijie could tell that Huamanlou was out to disgust people this time, relying on Xishanwei's shooting range, mobility and detection ability to bully people.

After some thought, Yao Zijie came up with an unsolvable solution: "Command the other lines to build ice castles and dig holes in the same way as our camp, and set up horse-repelling posts, bridle ropes, and dig pits for the rear troops. The whole army is mobilized for Lao Tzu, hurry up!"

"Yes!" The lieutenant finally realized after a reply: "General, then shall we... stop attacking the city?"

"Do you still care about the siege now?" Yao Zijie gritted his teeth and said, "With that thing in the sky, Huamanlou can clearly see any of our actions. If he comes so many times during the siege, we will be completely finished. !"

This is not wrong, if Huamanlou were to completely destroy the morale of the Liaodong Army, it is estimated that there would be no need for reinforcements to arrive, as long as the people from Wucheng Bingmasi rushed out, the Liaodong Army would be defeated.

"Uh... the general is going to deliver the order."

The lieutenant general was about to leave when Yao Zijie suddenly said, "Wait! Send people to the Eastern Front and ask the Jurchen Ministry to withdraw first, and send more scouts to inquire about Huamanlou's movements. If we can find the trace of Xishanwei..."

……

A valley twenty miles northeast of the capital.

"Yao Zijie must be mad right now?" Zhao Ren asked Huamanlou with a smile while holding the dry food.

Hua Manlou took the water bag from Su Jiu'er beside him, and after filling it, he smiled: "If he is really angry, it will only prove that he is not qualified."

"Not qualified? Not qualified enough?"

"There is a saying in "The Art of War": Shun, don't be overjoyed; Rebellious, don't be discouraged; Peace, don't be extravagant; Danger, don't be frightened; those who have thunder in their chest and face like a flat lake can worship the general." Huamanlou laughed. Very wicked: "If he is really mad, it is enough to prove that he is not a general."

Zhao Ren nodded in agreement: "Tsk tsk, that is to say, he is still the Liaodong General. How do you think these bastards from the court got in? The same is true for civil officials, and the same for generals. They are all trash!"

Hua Manlou glanced at him unkindly: "All of them?"

"Oh, except for you...and a small number of people." Zhao Ren smiled, and then asked cheerfully, "Where are you going to make a wave next? The east gate?"

Hua Manlou looked at the reconnaissance balloon in the sky: "If there is no accident, Yao Zijie should surround us with cavalry, and wait for news from the reconnaissance company... huh?"

Zhao Ren followed his gaze, stared intently at the semaphore played by the hot air balloon for a while, and then said pleasantly, "Sure enough, it's here, what shall we do?"

Zhao Ren could understand the semaphore, as Hua Manlou expected, the Liaodong Army sent [-] cavalry to outflank it in two ways, one of which was the Jurchen tribe who had withdrawn from the east.

Hua Manlou smacked his lips and smiled sinisterly: "Let's go, let's retreat first."

"Retreat? Don't go up?" Zhao Ren stared at Hua Manlou: "It's rare that Yao Zijie was so angry that he forgot about our Tianke cavalry..."

Hua Manlou rolled his eyes: "Do you understand kite fighting? If you don't understand, just watch my show!"

Zhao Ren really didn't understand. In fact, kite battles rarely appeared in this world. After all, this tactic was played by Meng Yuan in Huamanlou's previous life - relying on his exquisite riding and archery skills and the excellent nature of war horses to fly kites desperately, This is how they fought on the plains, and they pushed the Eurasian continent horizontally with this tactic...

……

"Sure enough, as the general expected, Xishanwei is actually not good at riding and fighting!" Qianhu, who led his men to catch up, looked at Xishanwei who was retreating far away but not very fast, and sneered: "Chasing!"

Hua Manlou played two battles. Although the Xishan Guards used their horses in these two times, in terms of combat, they all stood still and fired cannons and shots. Angry, but also faintly discovered this.

Therefore, the two teams he sent to besiege Huamanlou are good at riding and shooting. What they expect is to approach Xishanwei with speed, and then try to change their lives-the Liaodong Army can afford to change, but Xishanwei can change. Sorry, this is the truth.

So the order Yao Zijie gave seemed to be a siege, but it was actually a pursuit. For this reason, he offered a sky-high reward: 50 taels of silver for a Xishan guard soldier, a hundred taels of silver for an officer, and a catty of gold for a man who spent a lot of money.

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward, so Qianhu led his men to catch up, and his speed was slightly faster than the Jurchen's chasing from another road.

"Come on! Let me go!" Qianhu rode his horse and raised his whip, his face full of ferociousness.

Closer, closer.

boom!

Seeing that there was still a hundred feet away from Xishanwei, suddenly there was a loud noise from the pursuing team, and several nearby horses rose up in an instant, but the people behind had no time to react, and all of them fell on their backs.

"What's going on!" Qianhu turned around in horror, but heard two loud bangs, and a smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Therefore, with the ring-pull Purdue, it is still very easy to make a simple trigger trap.And this thing is not only to create chaos in the Liaodong army, but also a signal - the Xishan guards in front rein in their horses in unison, turn around and shoot.

blah blah blah!

After a round of volleys, Xishanwei continued to advance without even looking at the results, while the Liaodong Army...

The eyes of Qianhu, who lost dozens of riders in an instant, were all red: "Chasing! Kill them!"

566. Withdraw!

Qianhu, who was chasing after Huamanlou, never imagined that one day he would fight such a boring and inexperienced war.
