Chapter 745 Thinking Change 5
As the cavalry team led by Liu Hou returned one after another, they found that the results they achieved were even better than we expected at the time.
This surprise army not only killed a transport team composed of hundreds of large trucks at the cost of dozens of casualties, and took away all the mules and horses. It also took advantage of the victory to chase and burned several nearby sentry camps and futulos along the way, and followed the defeated enemy soldiers to destroy a grain station in Daning Fort. Then it set up an ambush on the spot and annihilated two patrol teams, almost none of them escaped.
Then, during the activity period, the last little time left, we will drive the local population south with all our might, creating some kind of harassment and attacking Yingzhou, and bluffing.
It was confirmed again that the Pinglu military horse had indeed withdrawn.
The cavalry team led by Liu Hou almost followed their large group of people and retreated along the western Liaoning Corridor to the near Bailang Mountain in Yingzhou at the southern end.
However, the opponent's army was quite neat and the equipment and supplies were still there, so even if this surprise soldier followed, he did not find any chance to take action.
Therefore, for the rest of the time, the land on the north bank of Xiaoqing River was shrouded in the sound of horns.
I am asking my subordinates to train the friendly forces that cooperate in combat according to Huaidong's instructions and experience. Of course, this is a severely reduced version, specially provided for excessive teaching materials between the garrison regiments and the defense camp.
There is also a corresponding adaptability for cold weapons that rely on physical strength. As long as you use some old guns that were originally armed to the civilians, provide and teach them to use (they also have similar roles anyway), and then practice the most basic orders and formation, you can form the initial combat power.
Do this,
On the one hand, it is boring to improve some coordination and organizational command efficiency; on the other hand, it is to have some sincerity and show of kindness to Luo Fan, who has no choice but to provide resources.
Of course, for the private evaluation and judgment of the staff group that saved me, this is also a long-term backup plan and potential backup plan, such as supporting and cultivating a group that is inclined to us within Luofan.
And there is no one who has seen the strength and achievements of our army as well as the battlefield. It can be said that they are quite honest on the battlefield. They are very cooperative and have a better practice target in their daily lives.
In addition, they were temporarily drawn and pieced together from various departments with relatively loose organization in order to rescue the main family that was lost in Dongshan City. Therefore, the organizational structure and model maintained afterwards were slightly different from Luo Fan's original structure.
Although it is also at the level of the battalion team, the specific ratio of armed forces and personnel has been continuously adjusted to cooperate with the battle in Huaizhen.
Therefore, further practice will also have the effect and benefits of twice the result with half the effort. Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, this auxiliary force will also become one of some model and model for cooperation between Huaidong and Luofan.
At present, these two thousand people are divided into four small battalions, each with two regiments and one team of people, taking turns to undertake daily service activities such as low-intensity alert, patrol, and labor.
When encountering an enemy, they have to take the responsibility of first assault, breaking obstacles, exploring the way, and opening the way; or act as a temporary shield for the firearms troops and provide close-knit combat. When encountering cities, they first enter to explore and suppress, as a guide for the firepower of the subsequent brigade and play the role of alerting the enemy.
In addition, our army has been constantly armed with the remaining equipment seized, so the army is equipped with long and short soldiers, and the ratio of close-kill armored soldiers can be said to be frighteningly high, almost reaching the level of everyone wearing armor, one ounce and three horses.
In addition, the soldiers from this army mostly come from the northern military palaces with many mountains.
Therefore, there are many people who are good at using bows and arrows. After arming with bows and crossbows, they are simply versatile players who work harder than others.
Although this is inevitable that it is a bit too stable and moderate in all aspects, for my troops, the cannon fodder and meat shield that go through fire and water is just enough.
For example, standing behind the cover of a large shield, shooting arrows and pushing with spears, etc.
And in the northern Liaoxi County
The only remaining general, Xue Dingfeng, was patrolling the walls of the walls, was the only remaining general.
>Seeing from the smoke-filled battlements, you can see the siege camp with ignition and torches illuminated by the siege camp. The blood and burnt smell left during the day are still strong in the air and cannot be dissipated for a long time.
The city walls were almost everywhere during the fierce battle during the day, leaving behind the dry blood and burning stains on the big beach; and the crossbow on the wall was almost completely lost, and less than one-third of the ones that could be repaired in the end; and the foundation under the wall was also dug by the enemy, which was dug up by the pits;
It took only two days to become this scene.
He looked at his faces, which were solemn, numb, nervous, or flattering and humble, while he was secretly thinking about what he was doing now.
From the lights of the thousands of houses in the city that looked down at the top of the city, it can be seen that this Kaiyi City, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, is actually not as many people as imagined.
Because of the emergency the day before yesterday and the retreat in Dongshan City was too fast, in addition to the thousands of subordinates who had withdrawn from their preservation as soon as possible, as well as the local garrisons who were carried back along the route, the military and civilians who were closer to the Liaoxi County where Kaiyi City is located have the opportunity to retreat into the city.
Therefore, in addition to the Xue clan, his servants, subordinates, subordinates, relatives, and retired troops, there are about 70,000 to 80,000 people in the outer city, more than half of them are young and middle-aged people.
Fortunately, these young and strong people in the city were a bit reluctant to let them go out to meet the enemy or fight in the field, but under the supervision of regular soldiers, they could still be able to defend the city on high walls.
This is also the confidence and determination to continue to persevere and deal with Luo Fan, who was besieged in the city. After all, the consumption of so many troops in Luo Fan will not be much smaller.
Once the time is delayed, the opponent cannot hold on, or launches a strong attack without calculating casualties, perhaps the turning point and flaw that Xue is looking forward to.
After all, the Luo family army also besieged Liaoxi City, and still had the remaining strength to divide the troops and drove south to the vicinity of Youzhou City, the capital of Pingludao. Because of its painful defeat by the Wuding River, Pingludao's army and horses took advantage of the situation to push back.
Not only was the army besieging the people of Liaoxi City, but they were defeated by the cavalry that arrived first in the Pinglu Army and cooperated with the inside and outside the city. They also had to give up most of the strongholds on the Liaohe Plain and signed many humiliating compensation claims.
However, with the arrival of a large number of siege equipment, the situation became harsh and critical again. In other words, this strongest city in western Liaoning was not as stable and reliable as he thought.
The so-called way to defend the city is to guard the living city that there is enough support outside, information exchanges are endless, and there are several years of accumulation inside, and there are corresponding mobile forces. It is the best place to attack and harass the living city in the local area.
But obviously this advantage and factor were lost little by little in his hands. Just today, the heads that were transported by large chariots to pile up into hills and the armored staff of the Ping Lu Army once again cut off their hope of obtaining foreign aid.
Nowadays,
The Xue family and its vassals had a total of eight states. However, except for the rich Liaoxi County, the others were all middle and lower states with mountains and hills, and the permanent force was mainly dominated by the five major guards who had been inherited from generation to generation, plus the vassal cavalry and iron guards who guarded the family.
However, most of the essence of these armed forces has been lost in Dongshan City, and the vacancy born are all relied on newly recruited vassal soldiers to make up for and replenish the numbers.
This time, the three broken frontier states were lost, and even if the remaining five states were not fully occupied, they would become a battlefield for hostile forces to rage. Therefore, even after this crisis, the future and prospects of Xue's family would be dull.
In fact, after the Dongshan City Incident, even with the support and support of the Pinglu Army, Xue family believed that he was the biggest loser from top to bottom.
Xue Dingfeng was promoted to the throne this time, and it was quite a bit like there was no general Liao Hua in Shu as a pioneer, because those who were still above him with rank and qualifications were either unclear about their lives or death or were unable to perform their duties.
Only he could return with the remaining troops. In addition, the leader of the mission and elder Xue Dingbang, who was responsible for the mission but was lucky enough to escape during the banquet in Dongshancheng; Xue Shirong, the inner priest who stayed behind the family, formed a three-legged stalemate that temporarily maintained the current situation.
Their small triangle also controls the wealth and safety of most military and civilians in the city except for the inner city and the power to deal with life and death during wartime.
Now, the only factor he could not control and control was probably the Pinglu Army, and the young vassal lord who followed the "protected" by the Pinglu Army who had been "protected".
They occupied the defense of the inner city and acted in many ways on their own. In the name of the vassal lord, they demanded the cooperation of Xue's family.
Therefore, under the disguised qualitative and quasi-sucking object, Xue Dingfeng could only use close surveillance and spy as a daily guarantee.
A general hurried over and whispered.
"Beigong City. It was broken..."
Then he arrived at the northeast corner of the city wall, and saw the smoke pillars and fire rising from afar under the gray sky and the faint cheers.
This was the first outer stronghold to fall, but it was obviously not the last one. Xue Dingfeng walked down the city in a heavy mood and saw a confidant general coming forward.
"Do you guys have any news and ideas..."
"There is nothing else, I can only fight Luo Zhe to death..."
"but……"
The general hesitated for a moment and said.
"They all said that if the eldest son was still there, that would be great..."
Hearing this sentence, Xue Dingfeng couldn't help but look a little sensible and entangled. Although this illegitimate eldest son was famous for his bravery and had a great morale, it was a pity that he was no longer here.
What's more, the truth and background involved are equally cruel and unacceptable. Only ignorant people can still have some hope and hope.
Then I thought of my previous discovery and became more upset.
"but,"
This confidant continued.
