Chapter 311 Soldiers' tricks

The spring steel of Zhenguojun's standard repeating crossbow is stronger than that of Tokyo and Shangjing, so its range can reach 120 steps and its armor-piercing performance is also better.

After the first round of counterattack, thousands of casualties made the Jurchens red-eyed. One Meng'an led two thousand men directly into Liujiaji, which made other Jin troops helplessly stop shooting arrows.

"Seeking death!" Chen Liang coldly gave the street fighting order.

Street fighting is not new to the Zhenguo Army. Since the special operations brigade explored various tactics and training points, the main force responsible for attacking difficulties has gradually incorporated street fighting into regular training.

First of all, the weapons are different. In addition to repeating crossbows, there are also bombs thrown by individual soldiers-palm mines.

Facing the crazy influx of people, the long-awaited Zhenguo Army soldiers instantly threw palm thunder from all directions.

The effective killing radius of each palm mine is five steps. The Jurchens charged so intensively that more than ten palm mines exploded perfectly in the crowd, almost clearing half of the street.

In front of the well-trained Zhenguo army, explosions, fireworks and broken flesh and blood limbs were scattered everywhere. The two thousand Jurchen soldiers who broke into Liujiaji were eliminated one by one before they saw the enemies hidden behind the barrier houses. .

The nearly 5000 casualties made the Jin army generals angry but also troubled. In order to force the Zhenguo army out of Liujiaji, setting fire to the town was a very good way.

When the rockets were flying all over the sky, the counterattack of the Zhenguo army was even more fierce. With a quiver of six crossbows and more than [-] people, any Jurchen archer who came within a hundred steps would be shot at nine times out of ten. kill.

The two sides exchanged fire. Although the Jurchens lost more than a thousand people, the fire in Liujiaji inevitably became stronger.

Sixteen thousand people gathered in the town, which was already very crowded. With the fire raging, many areas could not accommodate people at all. If the attack continued like this, it would be difficult to last two days.

Chen Liang decided to take the initiative and asked Han Shizhong's troops to assist, while Guo Pharmacist's troops defended the market town and put out the fire.

"The golden dogs in the northeast seem to be on a higher ground and there aren't many people, so let's attack him! The golden dogs in the northwest will block me for a quarter of an hour. How about that?"

Han Shizhong looked at it and saw that nearly 5000% of the Jurchens on both sides had been lost, and they had been marching fiercely for a long time. It was when they were tired that the [-] people he brought with him could carry it for a quarter of an hour.

"Promise to resist for two quarters of an hour!"

Chen Liang and Han Shizhong agreed on the attack route and cooperation, and each led their troops to move to the northeast corner. Chen Liang gave an order, and three thousand of his men mounted their horses and rushed out of Liujiaji, heading straight for the Jin Army on the right. At the same time, two thousand The remaining people cooperated with the main attacking force and made an active defensive posture towards the southern Jin army.

Just after Chen Liang's attack, the long-awaited Jurchen troops finally waited for the opportunity and rushed to the northeast corner for reinforcements, and a melee began.

However, Chen Liang and Han Shizhong did not seem to have the idea of ​​breaking the encirclement. After a quarter of an hour of attacking with continuous crossbows and palm thunder, the two troops quickly retreated back to Liujiaji just before the main force of the Jin army encircled them.

The Zhenguo Army moved out quickly and advanced quickly, which made the main force of the Jin Army in the frontal attack very depressed. They could only return to their original deployment. However, two quarters of an hour later, the Zhenguo Army launched an attack on the Jin Army on the left in exactly the same way. However, when the female main force from the south rushed At that time, the Zhenguo Army returned to the town again.

After a day of fighting, the Jurchens suffered nearly 8000 casualties. The general commanding the Jin army was so angry that his teeth were almost broken.

After the fire was put out in the town, the rockets had little effect, because the remaining ruins were basically unburnable, and the Jurchen soldiers did not have many arrow boxes, so the effectiveness of the repeating crossbows became less and less.

"The Southerners are as cowardly as rats! Go get the artillery, I'm going to blow them to smithereens!"

Compared with the Jurchens' suffering, the Zhenguo Army suffered much less damage. In addition to the market town houses serving as bunkers and better weapon performance, the key is a mature and complete treatment system.

The Zhenguo Army attaches great importance to battlefield treatment. Each soldier's backpack is equipped with bandages, styptic powder, physiological saline and multi-functional knives. It is also mandatory that platoon-level units must have three health workers who know first aid.

In fact, most soldiers have learned some simple self-rescue tips for their own safety. After all, the probability of survival will be much higher with timely treatment.

Therefore, only about a thousand people were killed or seriously injured in the Zhenguo Army, which did not affect the original organization.

As the two sides harassed each other back and forth, night gradually fell.

Due to limited vision, the Jin army stopped attacking and camped on the spot outside the town, sending mobile security posts to monitor the Zhenguo army in Liujiaji while waiting for the arrival of artillery troops.

Han Shizhong was not a peaceful master, so he immediately found Chen Liang and prepared to send a small force to attack the Jin army at night. "A night attack is not impossible, but if you want to attack, hit the vital points and completely defeat them!" Chen Liang used a telescope to observe the Jin army's camp three hundred steps away.

Pharmacist Guo also realized that once daybreak, the Jin army would probably use artillery, so there would be no chance of anyone alive in Liujiaji.

"how to spell?"

Han Shizhong didn't think it was a big deal and said, "Then we'll beat their main force, and the three of us will fight the golden dogs in the south together!"

"To the south?" Pharmacist Guo looked at Han Shizhong suspiciously: "There are more than 5000 troops over there, and there are also camps and bunkers. The left and right wings are much weaker, so they should be able to stand out if they charge hard."

Han Shizhong smiled and said: "The Jurchens are not stupid either. Maybe they deliberately set up a trap and waited for us to get in. We can test it out in the first half of the night."

Chen Liang asked: "Then tell me how to do it?"

Although Han Shizhong looked rough, he was bold and careful. He roughly stated his thoughts.

Pharmacist Guo nodded, feeling that the strategy was feasible and voted in favor. Chen Liang felt that it was okay. There was definitely going to be trouble tonight anyway, and the first group was never afraid of a hard fight.

"Then it's settled!"

Immediately, the Zhenguo Army in Liujiaji reallocated its troops, and many small units went into the dark to harass the left and right wings.

The commander-in-chief of the Jin Army smiled and said nothing. The Zhenguo Army was obviously aware of the danger of being surrounded by Liujiaji alone, and tried to break out of the siege. Unfortunately, he had expected it, so he dismissed the minor conflicts.

By midnight, intelligence feedback from all parties came back: the main force of the southern Jin Army had not been mobilized due to harassment from the two wings.

Han Shizhong slapped the table and said: "On the surface, it looks like the Golden Dog remains unchanged in response to all changes. In fact, they should have set up an ambush a long time ago. We just used our plan to catch him by surprise!"

Faced with harassment from both wings, no matter what, the main force of the Jin Army should send a force to respond, but not making any changes is contrary to common sense, and there is only one explanation.

The main force of the Jin army took advantage of the darkness and secretly moved their troops to the rear of the two wings. No matter which side the Zhenguo army broke through, they could quickly block the gap.

This judgment of Han Shizhong was recognized by Chen Liang and Pharmacist Guo, who unanimously believed that the southern Jin Army camp was a bluff and the actual strength would not exceed 1.

In order to make the assault smooth, Han Shizhong divided his troops into two groups. Guo Yaoshi led his [-] cavalry to the northeast to feint attack to attract the Jin army's attention. Chen Liang and Han Shizhong led [-] infantrymen carrying all the palm mines and quietly lurked outside the Jin army's south camp for a surprise attack. , the South Camp was leveled within two quarters of an hour.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Guo Yaoshi led the cavalry force composed of the only [-] horses in Liujiaji, and launched a feint attack on the Jin army in the northeast corner with ten thousand horses galloping. The main force of the Jin army, which was waiting for them, could not wait. Rushing out of the darkness.

Just as the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army in Nan Daying stood on the sentry tower and watched the northeast corner, tens of thousands of Zhenguo troops who secretly lurked a hundred steps away from Nan Daying launched a charge like a tsunami.

This sudden change caught the Jin Army commander by surprise. When most of the Jin Army came out of their tents with swords and guns, Han Shizhong, surrounded by his men, had already blown open the door of the Jin Army camp.

More than a thousand palm thunders were immediately thrown into the panicked Jin army crowd, and the Jurchens who were suddenly attacked were blown away before they could resist.

Each of the first batch of [-]-man bombardiers carried at least ten palm mines. They rushed forward and dropped bombs at the same time. The Jin soldiers in the South Camp flipped over and jumped like dogs.

The large group of Zhenguo troops rushed forward closely following the bombardiers. At the same time, they dealt with the Jurchen soldiers in a timely manner. In just over a quarter of an hour, they killed and penetrated the Jin Army's camp.

As expected, there were less than 1 Jurchen soldiers in the camp, and during the melee, the Jurchen commander had no time to come down from the sentry tower before he was shot dead by the crossbowmen of the Zhenguo Army.

As soon as Guo Yaoshi, who was pretending to attack, saw the fighting starting in the south, he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to Liujiaji.

This made the excited Jin Army rush to nothing. When they saw the fire in the South Camp, they knew something was wrong. However, the commander had died in the battle, and the various ministries had different opinions on how to act, which inevitably led to errors in cooperation.

When the Nanying Jin Army who was originally responsible for the ambush mission returned from both sides, Han Shizhong and Chen Liang gave them a huge "surprise"!
