Chapter 50 Tentative Attack

Meng Jiucheng's principle of using troops has always been to stand invincible first and then achieve greater results.

When Wanyan Elun led more than 2,000 troops to attack and arrived at Kushan, he faced a strong camp and a puzzling arrangement.

In terms of military strength, the two camps of the Red Turban Army had more than 6,000 troops, while the Jin army had only 3,000 troops in total.

But the Jin army relied on their well-equipped and well-trained, and always beat the Rebels with fewer attacks, one-on-three, one-on-five, and even one-on-ten, all beat the rebels.

Moreover, the generals of the Jin army had high quality and used strategies when fighting, either feint attacks, plagiarism, or even during use, and tried to avoid fighting and fighting.

But now facing the Red Turban Army's camp, Wanyan Eren felt that there was no other way besides a strong attack.

Two mountains not far apart are surrounded by a pass, which is the first level; several miles away, the main camp of the Red Turban Army is the one who camps in the distance.

On the hillsides on both sides of the main camp, there are flags rushing flags, which are obvious as people and horses guarding the flanks.

Wanyan's observation was completed and he did not rush to attack, but summoned the generals to discuss it.

According to the normal fighting style, the Jin army must first capture two mountains and smash the situation of the Red Turban Army guarding the gate; then attack the enemy's central camp and make the final decisive battle.

There are generals but they think there is no need to be such trouble. As long as there is a group of people left to monitor, the main force can directly attack the enemy's central camp.

Wouldn't it be better if the defenders on two mountains go to fight and support them? Without the terrain and fighting on the plains, the Jin army can defeat enemies that are several times more than they are.

"General, I think it's better to be stable." Deputy General Wanyan Shouzhong did not want to be so arrogant. As a close confidant of Wanyan Elun, he understood Wanyan Elun's ideas.

Seeing Wanyan Eren's inquiring eyes, Wanyan Shouzhong continued: "We lack understanding of the Red Turban Army, and it seems inappropriate to attack on the dangerous ground. Beizhi thinks that first attack tentatively, then advance if you win, and lose less damage to your strength."

Wanyan Eren nodded and said, "If you make sense, let's arrange it like this. First attack the enemy on the mountain on the east side!"

Wanyan Eren does have the intention of tempting this time when attacking. Of course, if the Red Turban Army has low combat power, he will launch a fierce attack and completely defeat the enemy.

The Jin army quickly completed the arrangement and preparations. More than 500 soldiers wore armor and helmets to attack the Red Turban Army on the East Mountain.

The Jin army's tactics were normal, but they won many battles.

The first line of defense of the defenders was on the mountainside platform, and the radial fortifications with two trenches and wooden fences formed a frontal blockade of several uphill passages in front of the mountain.

The second line of defense is on the ridge, with three stepped defensive positions centered on the top of the mountain, which can block the intersections in front of the mountain and the road up the mountain.

Wang Xian stood on the ridge of the second line of defense and looked up. Although the distance was not far away, he was blocked by trees and weeds. He could only see the Jin army in front of him approaching step by step, but could not see the specific number of people behind him.

But no matter how many Jin troops came, the attack surface was fixed and could not be expanded due to the terrain.

In the combat plan, this mountain is not a must-have. It has only more than a thousand troops, only heavy weapons, only stone throwers, and even the explosion of stone bombs is not equipped. Of course, there are still a few pine cannons left to be used in critical moments.

According to Meng Jiucheng's idea, the better way to fight against the Jin army is to continuously consume its troops and finally see if the situation starts a decisive battle.

Since you are going to consume the Jin army, you will use all kinds of weapons to fight the Jin army with a blow and you will be afraid and stop attacking. Wouldn't your plan be lost?

Therefore, the defenders and arrangements on the east and west mountains are similar, and the orders are the same. Try to stick to them and kill more enemies. If the situation is critical, you can naturally retreat by camera.

Despite this order, Wang Xian, as an old general of Yang Miaozhen, wanted to fight beautifully, just as he had just joined the Red Turban Army. This not only adds glory to Yang Miaozhen and his old subordinates, but also shows his ability and ability.

Boom, boom... With the loud noise, the rolling wooden stone was put down, and rolled faster and faster along the mountain, hitting the Jin army attacking the upwards.

The Jin soldiers kept dodging and were smashed and fell like scarecrows, screaming and screaming followed.

Wanyan Eren looked up expressionlessly. If the opponent only had this ability, this mountain could not be defended.

Obviously, the defenders did not disappoint Wanyan Eren. After rolling the wood and rocking the stone, they withdrew back to the main position and shot the Jin army approaching the trench with bows and crossbows.

The generals of the Jin army issued a hoarse order, and the archers behind the shield shot a row of arrows upwards to the front, and another group of soldiers ran forward and ladders on the trench.

But through the fence, the defenders' crossbows were shooting quickly and accurately.

The crossbowmen were standing in the trench, and a bunker similar to a chest wall was built in front of the trench, and most of their bodies were protected.

The height of the fence effectively protects the arrows fired by the Jin army, and they can shoot crossbow arrows out of the cracks in the fence.

After shooting an arrow, the crossbowman handed the crossbow back, and the crossbow was taken by his teammate behind him, and another loaded crossbow was stuffed into his hand again.

Extend forward, aim, and shoot. A series of movements were rapid and accurate. In just a few seconds, the defenders fired another round of crossbow arrows.

This shooting method is similar to the assembly line operation of a factory, and is also like the three and four sections of a musket. Three and four crossbowmen are arranged in a row to complete their respective work, and then the first crossbowmen is fired.

In this way, not only does the launch speed increase several times, but the work is also simplified, reducing the possibility of errors due to tension.

At the same time, several crossbowmen can rotate according to their physical strength, because the crossbow is the most laborious, but if the personnel are replaced, you can get a take-off rest.

Moreover, the training cycle of crossbowmen is shorter than that of archers. Although it is not as good as a musket, it also has some possibilities for explosive soldiers.

Jin soldiers were constantly hit by arrows, but the shield player was able to cover his body, cross the trench from the ladder, and continue to attack forward.

The stone-pile machine started, and the black stones crossed the fence and smashed towards the Jin army.

Crossbow arrows, stones, above and on the front, this kind of blow is difficult to prevent thoroughly. More Jin soldiers fell down in screams, but the damage to the defenders was very minor.

Countless stones crossed the fence and hit the heads of the Jin army one after another. While causing casualties, they also blocked the continuity of the Jin army's attack team.

Although the Jin soldiers who crossed the trench but were blocked by the fence charged desperately, they were attacked by spearmen with crossbow arrows in front of the fence.

The spear was swept and spitting, and the soldiers on both sides fought through the fence.
