The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Sun Tzu said, "If you have ten, you will surround it, if you have five, you will attack it, if you have multiples, you will divide it." A successful battle must achieve the final victory in the shortest time with the minimum casualties and losses. According to the fact that your own troops exceed the number of enemies

, adopt different strategies and tactics accordingly, avoid fighting hard, and exchange the greatest victory at the minimum price.

This view is based on pragmatism. The pursuit of victory in war is the ultimate goal, and achieving greater victory at the minimum cost is a pragmatic manifestation. Victory is the goal of all strategies, and the role of strategy should be the minimization of the cost of victory.

, instead of making the war so wonderful, if you achieve a weak victory at the cost of both losses and losses, it is definitely not a military strategist. The battlefield should not be a show of the personal talents of the military commander, nor is it a game. It is neither fun nor should it be played.

…

The left-wing Song army led by Yue Fei surpassed the brigade and arrived at Qigou Pass first. Seeing that the Jin army could not come out of seclusion, he thought that Guanzhong was just some retreating Jin troops, so he wanted to take the pass and make a contribution. Zhongshan Luzhou Army

Under Yue Fei's strict training, he had become a powerful brigade. After being ordered, he immediately launched a formation to launch an attack. However, they committed a big taboo. They did not conduct careful reconnaissance before the war and had no choice but to have no military strength and defense situation in Qigou Guanzhong.

Know.

The Zhongshan Luzhou Army that fought this time had a total of 20,000 horse and infantry soldiers, equipped with cold weapons such as bows, crossbows, swords and guns. The Jin army in Qigou Guanzhong was a team of 10,000 people full of people in Pingzhou Army, plus Silver Skills

Although some of the retreating remnants of the army were slightly inferior to the Zhongshan Prefecture Army, they occupied the city and had silver skills to command this general. The little advantage of the Song army could be ignored.

During the negotiations, the generals of the Jin army had previously judged that the border between the Southern Dynasties was just to intimidate the Jin Kingdom and wanted to gain some benefits in the negotiations. Even if they fought, they would only be a small fight and would not send out the imperial guards to launch a full-scale war. Based on this prediction,

Even if the Song army launches an attack, as long as they defend Qigou Pass, they can get time for Yanjing to send reinforcements.

Silver Skills are not reckless, but they are not reckless. After receiving the Southern Dynasties' letter of war in Xiongzhou, they were shocked and imagined that the Southern Dynasties were going to fight. But he did not expect that the Song army would launch an attack so soon, when he heard the border upload.

When the fire came the fierce sound of artillery, he knew that the Southern Dynasty had dispatched the imperial guards, and the garrison troops on the border could not resist at all. So when the sound of artillery sounded, he retreated to Qigou Pass, hoping to use the strong city to block the enemy and wait for assistance.

Yin Shuke returned to Qigou Pass and immediately asked Yanjing for help and prepare for war. He fought with the predecessor of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards, the "Xijing Army", and knew the horror of their firearms, so he ordered the defenders in the city to hold on, not

Going out of the city to fight, which also led to Yue Fei's misjudgment, thinking that the Jin army was short of troops and was timid and timid.

The Song army, which had similar equipment and similar forces, quickly paid the price. After several attacks, they returned in vain and lost their troops. Yue Fei was anxious and led the troops to attack the city himself. Yin Shu also quickly discovered that the siege was

The Song army was not the main imperial guards. He immediately felt like he was bullied by a dog in the sun. He sent an army out of the side door to attack the Song army that was sieging the city, hoping to teach these self-righteous Song troops a lesson.

After suffering a lot of casualties, the Song army barely crossed the moat to build a ladder. The Jin army attacked sideways, causing panic, and the Jin army opened the city gate and rushed out. Fortunately, the troops were trained.

Su, with strict discipline, there was no uproar under the attack of the Jin army. Yue Fei led the front army to fight and retreat while fighting, and the brigade who was attacked sideways fought to the death and refused to retreat under the leadership of the Central Army Commander Niu Gao, and responded to the front army to return to the battlefield.

After a hard battle, Yue Fei retreated back to his own formation. At this moment, he realized that the Jin army in the pass was not a defeated army, and his troops were equal. In order to avoid further losses, he decisively retreated across the river to form a formation to defend. And Yinzhi was also

Worried that the Song army would use fraud and buried an ambush. When they saw that they were good, they stopped pursuing them and ordered the Jin army to retreat to the city...

Yue Fei lost his first battle, losing hundreds of troops. After retreating for ten miles, he met with the army and ordered people to tie him to the general's tent to apologize. He did not obey the general's orders and was eager to make contributions and caused losses. These were all serious crimes, but Zhao Yong was in danger of Yue Fei's failure.

He did not punish him, but went to Zhongshan Road Prefecture's military camp with kind words to comfort him and encouraged the soldiers to fight again.

This motivation was immediately effective. The next night, Yue Fei led his army to occupy the Jin army supply center in Suiwu with only one raid. This small victory brought a lot of oil and water, and also obtained Wanyan Zongfu from the captured prisoners.

Information about sending troops out to aid. After Zhao Yong learned about it, he immediately ordered the siege to capture the city, and before the Jin army reinforcements arrived, he opened the passage of march. Before the war began, the Song army had already taken the lead...

Qigou Pass is on the marching road and must be taken down as soon as possible. After some reconnaissance, Zhao Yong found out the situation inside and outside the pass. The guard Yin Shu is also his old opponent. The two fought in the northwest several times.

After returning from defeat, his brothers were still visiting the Song Dynasty! In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yong ordered the tiger general to attack the city. Yue Fei was in a state of defeat and asked to fight together. Zhao Yong thought about it and agreed.

Seeing the Song army's large team coming, Yin Shu saw the flag, and a tiger with wings embroidered on it, you knew that it was the Song Dynasty imperial guards. As for whether the flag was taken or not, it was "Zhao". Their emperor's surname was Zhao.

The generals who can fight below are all surnamed Zhao, and there is not much difference. After being beaten so many times, he has summarized some experience. When he has the advantage of military strength, he can still compete. If the number of people is small, find a strong one.

Hiding the place, and when they approach, the power of the artillery cannot be exerted before coming out to fight them.

Therefore, when Yin Shu saw that the Song army could not see the edge, he immediately pretended to be turtle and closed the four doors, and acted as if he could not kill him, let alone attack him halfway. He knew the Song army well.

The tactics of the city are that artillery opens the way and machine guns cover it when siege. Since he knows, he cannot be beaten. In order to avoid artillery fire, he ambushed most of his troops under the walls, leaving only a small number of troops on the city to observe the movements of the Song army.

The Song army liked to bomb the city gates, so he also took effective measures to block the three gates of the east, south and west with huge stones, leaving them alone with the north gate. As for why everyone knows it, I won’t say it.

Seeing the Song army successfully crossing the Qigou River, it was indeed like silver techniques that lined up outside the two arrows from the south gate. The cannons pushed in front of the formation and began to start shelling like rounds. The machine gun

Blocking the battlements, a team of Song soldiers pushed the bridge and crossed the formation, and built several floating bridges on the moat. Then a muffled sound came from the city gate. The silver technique hiding under the city roots was shocking.

The buzzing ears smiled, always using the old tricks to fool people, you have been struggling for a long time, but I haven't hurt any hair!

"Master, the Song army failed to blow up the city gate..." A Jin general who was monitoring the movements of the Song army at the top of the city ran down to the city in a dusty way and reported.

"Are you angry and embarrassed? You rushed up with a ladder and ready to go to the city!" Yin Shu said proudly before he could finish speaking.

"The chief minister, no, it's the Song army again..." The Jin general waved his hand quickly.

"Retreat?!" Yin Shuke stood up in surprise and shouted, but another loud noise came from outside the city. He was stunned when he heard it, and suddenly felt a shock under his feet. In a trance, it seemed that the city walls were shaking, but very

He soon realized that it was not his own illusion. The soil on the city wall was falling, and soldiers screamed and rolled down from the city.

"What's going on?" Yin Shuke was furious and turned his face and rushed forward to report the news.

"Master, the Song army has launched two giant cannons!" The Jin general finally said the second half...

Seeing that the engineers went up and failed to blast successfully, the tiger generals knew that Wang Heng and Jin's army must have blocked the city gate. In this case, they could only prepare for a strong attack against such a strong city. Just when he was about to mobilize troops to prepare for siege equipment to climb the city, Zhao Yong

Stop him.

When Zhao Xiao attacked Lingzhou, he realized that the power of the equipped Flang machine rapid-fire cannons and mortar cannons was not enough to deal with the tightly defended city. He knew that with the expansion of the Jin Dynasty, he would inevitably absorb the Central Plains region during invasion.

Military strategies, offensive and defensive tactics, and advanced equipment and city building methods. In the future, it will be difficult to compete with current weapons and equipment, especially in big cities like Lingzhou. At that time, people began to be ordered to test-making siege cannons.

However, it is very difficult to cast artillery of more than a thousand kilograms in this era.

It was not until the workshop of the third Jin army invasion that several thousand-pound cannons were successfully trial-produced. Then, a heavy artillery battalion was rushing to attack Bianjing, but it was not used. After ascending the throne, Zhao Qiong mastered the national material resources.

The financial resources have increased the efforts to develop artillery and finally the trial production was successful. The gun body was cast in bronze and weighed 8,000 kilograms. It was not considered manual labor costs. Its diameter was eight inches, and the solid iron bullets fired were all big, and it was necessary to load the medicine.

Twenty kilograms, but they also burn countless coins. Just the copper consumed, how many copper coins can be cast. Not to mention this cannon, all the soldiers will have to serve them.

This cannon may not be anything in front of cannons that cost hundreds of tons today, but in this era it is a giant, but it is not without its shortcomings. It is good at siege and can fire a variety of ammunition, but it is not easy to fight in the field. It uses the front bore

The charge leads to the low loading and firing rate, and the gun body is bulky and cannot quickly transfer the position, so it can only be bombarded at a fixed point. When the situation of the enemy and us reverses, it will not be able to respond automatically. If the infantry and cavalry do not cooperate and protect it in the battle, it is not enough.

Confidence to win with stability.

It was precisely because this thing was too bulky that Zhao Qiong did not bring these two siege cannons to attack Yanjing City this time, but left them for Zhao Yong to use. Now he was just right to test the knife with Qigou Pass. This shot was out.

It was not accurate, and it was hitting the weak upper part of the city wall and opened a gap on the wall. After adjustment, two cannons fired at the bottom of the city wall in turn, but the wall made of rammed earth was first hit by the shells.

Layer peeling, then slid down in pieces, and finally collapsed under the volley of two cannons. Before the smoke and dust were gone, Yue Fei took the lead and rushed towards the gap, and he wanted to avenge his previous shame...
