The two Niulu who came to reinforce them got the news when they set off that Haihan sent a small group of troops to land and harass the rear. According to their understanding, the small group of troops was at most two to 300 people. Niu Lu's troops didn't say they could wipe out their opponents, at least they had a clear advantage in terms of strength, and it shouldn't be a big problem to restrict the opponent's further actions.
But halfway through, I received news that the other party and a group of cavalry also landed later, and the two leading Niu Lue really could only secretly curse their mothers.The Haihan cavalry was a nightmare for the Houjin army. Although this cavalry was not large in size, its individual firepower would make every Houjin cavalry encounter headache and fear.The post-golden cavalry, who used traditional weapons such as saber, bow and shield, was at a very passive disadvantage in almost every encounter with the Haihan cavalry. If they encountered a Haihan cavalry with dozens or hundreds of cavalry, then Even if the force is two or three times larger, it can only be avoided.
The Haihan cavalry they saw at this time was at least two hundred cavalry, forming a column and slowly marching from north to south along the coastline.And behind it is a beachhead that is beginning to take shape. In addition to the decent bunker fortifications, there are even two sandbags on the fort. God knows how these Haihan troops who have just landed in such a short time Built fortifications.Those with good eyes could faintly see that some tents had been erected behind the fortifications, obviously planning to stay here.
On the sea behind the beachhead, several large sailing warships were moored near the shore, and their portholes facing the coast were all opened and aimed inland.Such a fire cover method is not unfamiliar to the Houjin Army. In the past year, the Haihan Army has used similar methods several times to complete landings in many places on the Liaodong Peninsula.The Houjin Army, who once tried to prevent the landing of the Haihan Army, was bombarded by the Haihan battleship without exception after approaching, and many people died before and after, which can be said to be a lesson in blood.
Seeing this familiar scene again now, one of Niu Luezhen, who had suffered a loss, hurriedly reminded his companions not to rush up, because the faster he rushed, the faster he died.
But they didn't take the initiative to attack, but the Haihan cavalry did not intend to wait for the Houjin army to see that they were full, and quickly adjusted their direction to kill the Houjin army who came to reinforce it.
Of course, during the battle, there would not be the close combat expected by the Houjin side. When the two sides were still [-] meters apart, the Haihan cavalry on horseback shot and took advantage of the firepower to form the first place for the Houjin army. wave of blows.The Haihan cavalry's bursting rifles are equipped with rapid firepower, and even the Houjin Army knows this feature, but in this case, they cannot avoid fighting, and they will definitely be executed by the ruthless Yanguli afterwards. , can only bite the bullet and rush up.
When the Haihan cavalry saw the enemy's movement, they immediately adjusted their direction of travel, keeping the engagement distance outside the range of the rear golden cavalry's light hunting bows.Although such a tactic will slow down the speed of killing the enemy, it will make the Golden Cavalry very uncomfortable after provocation. In this situation, whether it is fighting or fleeing, it is not an easy task.
If you want to fight, you have to follow the rhythm of Shanghai Han and try to get closer.However, only about one-third of the Houjin army of these two Niulu were cavalry, and it was impossible to compete head-on with the Haihan cavalry of more than [-] cavalry with such a small force.Moreover, if the cavalry wants to chase, they must leave the infantry, which is undoubtedly a very dangerous move, but if you want to leave the battlefield, you will inevitably face the same problem.The Houjin infantry was not as capable as the Haihan infantry, and could rely on the advantages of weapons and tactics to fight against cavalry.
Under the dilemma, the Houjin commander could only order the infantry to cover themselves with shields as much as possible. The archers used projectile attacks when they saw the opportunity in the rear, while the cavalry responded from the periphery, trying not to let the Haihan Army directly attack the infantry. .
But this kind of countermeasure was also expected by the Haihan Army. The cavalry kept a distance from the outside and surrounded the periphery of the Houjin Army. down.Amid the shouts of the Haihan cavalry, Hou Jin soldiers kept falling from their horses and fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire. Although it seemed that there were not many scattered and scattered, but under such continuous continuous attacks, Hou Jin soldiers discovered that they were actually trapped.
After killing and injuring dozens of people one after another, the commander of the Houjin Army finally made up his mind to break through the encirclement, but in order to reduce the risk after the division of troops, he still did not dare to let the cavalry break out of the infantry on their own.There was nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, but unfortunately the Haihan cavalry they encountered was just good at handling this situation, and the cautiousness of the Later Jin Army brought them even more casualties.
Due to the limited speed of the infantry, the post-Golden Army had to carry the bullets that were constantly fired around, while the cavalry, who could have tried to quickly leave the battlefield, still had to endure in order to provide mobile cover for the infantry. Casualties continued.
Fortunately, Commander Jin soon realized his stupidity and quickly adjusted his strategy to let the cavalry break through immediately.After fighting for a long time, he realized that only when the cavalry is active can the Haihan army be scruples, otherwise he will just stick with the infantry, and the final result will only be that more people die to give Haihan a record.
After this post-Jin army finally got rid of the entanglement of the Haihan cavalry, they had lost nearly a quarter of their men and horses.And the trouble they caused their opponents was just a few sporadic arrows.After realizing the difference in strength between the two sides, the Jin Army did not dare to fight, and withdrew all the way south from the range of activities of the Haihan cavalry.
At this time, on the beachhead by the sea, Tom Wang was complaining to Harrugon who had just returned: "I finally saw a group of people coming, but you took the troops and drove them away in three or two... You should put it nearby and let my brothers practice guns too!"
Harrugon said in disapproval: "What kind of guns are you practicing? Don't crawl at this time! Drive them out, so that they can retreat in spite of difficulties, and bring more rescue soldiers to fill the hole!"
Of course, Harrugon also knew that Tom Wang was just joking. The division of labor between infantry and cavalry was different. It was just that there was no infantry in the battle just now. Tom Wang, who got started, naturally wanted to complain a few words.
When Yanguli received the report for the second time, he learned that Haihan had formed cavalry in the troops who landed in the rear. He knew that the two Niu Lu he had sent in the past were bad luck. Waiting patiently until the news of the defeat came back, he ordered again, and sent a thousand cavalry to the area to limit the opponent's range of activities.At this time, he still did not think that the Haihan army landing at the rear would be the main attack direction, and he did not want to allocate too many troops to encircle and suppress this enemy army that might retreat to the sea at any time.
If he could take a look in person and see the beachhead that was expanding and extending inland, as well as the steady stream of heavy weapons and combat supplies being brought ashore, he might immediately change his opinion and send more troops there.However, the sky was getting dark at this time, and even if they rushed over, it was too late to launch another round of offensive.
Of course, another reason why Yanguli did not pay attention to the landing troops in the north was that the artillery attacks of the Haihan Army outside Sujiabao and Jijiabao did not stop.
Considering the high cost of ammunition and the firing life of the artillery, Qian Tiandun suspended the use of the four new artillery pieces, and handed over the task of attacking the gate and tower of Jijiabao to ordinary artillery.Although the power and accuracy of these cannons are not as good as those of the new rifled cannons, they are superior in quantity. After a dozen cannons bombard one round, part of the gatehouse of Jijiabao will collapse. The two-story gate tower above has completely collapsed, losing the function of lookout and watchtower.
During this period, all the Houjin officers who tried to command the counterattack on the city wall, without exception, ate bullets from the sniper team, and even if they went up with a few shields, they couldn't eat and walk.After losing four or five officers in succession, Yanguli finally realized that this was a targeted attack, and did not continue to force the officers to go to the city wall to die.
Fortunately, it was getting late, Haihan took the initiative to stop the shelling, and did not show any intention to attack the fortress line at night, which made Yanguli slightly relieved.Looking back on the confrontation that day, Hou Jin was in a passive defensive position. After several attempts to counterattack, he failed to achieve the desired effect. Instead, he lost a lot of people.However, Haihan was obviously more prepared for such a situation. After controlling the situation, he did not rashly launch a melee attack, and even sent a troop from the sea to the rear of the Houjin Army to land.
Yanguli sent his cronies to send today's fighting situation to Azige at the rear, and wanted to hear what Azige had to say about the current battlefield situation.But it took several hours, and when he was about to go to sleep, his cronies finally brought back Azig's message.
Azig's opinion is very simple, asking him to try to block the city gate again overnight, and to send heavy troops to drive away the Haihan army behind the defense line early the next morning, be sure to drive it away from the Houjin control area. .
Azig did not elaborate on the reasons for doing so, but Yanguly decided to trust Azig's opinion because he couldn't think of a better solution for a while.Compared with the thousands of Haihan soldiers and horses on the plain south of the defense line, it was indeed easier for the Haihan army at the rear, with a size of less than [-], to deal with.
Blocking the doorway that was bombarded by Haihan’s artillery was also a great effort. For this reason, Yanguli mobilized hundreds of laborers who accompanied the army to carry large stones, sandbags, tree trunks and other building materials removed from the houses in the fort. , into the empty doorway.In order to avoid another artillery attack from Haihan, Yanguli also specially ordered that lights should not be lit in the doorway, so he could only carry out construction in the dark, and the efficiency was naturally not much higher.
By dawn, most of the door blocking project was finally completed, but before Yang Guli could relax, the Haihan Army rushed into the door with another burst of artillery bombardment early in the morning.
After the smoke cleared, Yang Guli almost went crazy when he saw the scene inside. He finally blocked most of the doorway and was bombarded. Dozens of people who were still working in the doorway were killed and injured. Injured, and many people were crushed in the ruins of the broken walls, unable to escape and not to die for a while, and kept screaming.
"I see that these southern barbarians are just trying to get along with Yanguli!" Yanguli was furious, and he was about to order the whole army to attack.If it wasn't for the desperate efforts of his officers to dissuade him, the Houjin Army would probably have become the first defender in the Far East to block the gates of the city gates with his own corpse.
"What do you think the other party will have next?" Qian Tiandun put down his binoculars with satisfaction and asked Chen Yixin and Morgan who were watching the game together.
Chen Yixin took the lead in answering: "The only access channel is now targeted by our artillery, and the Houjin army inside will definitely not be able to get out, but it is not easy for us to attack, after all, their vitality is not too big. The loss. I think the variable still has to fall on Commander Wang's side, and only when he plays well can Houjin really be in chaos."
Morgan continued: "I think so too. If the Houjin army wants to defend this line of defense, it must try to solve its worries first. The harder Tom fights, the more at a loss for Houjin. However, Tom's troops are limited. The waves that can be set off are also limited, and the main attack direction is still up to us to control. Having said that, this new cannon is powerful, but it is impossible to blow down all the walls outside Jijiabao, right? I think at most today After another day, it's time to give the enemy some new means!"
Qian Tiandun said: "The engineers have been sent out for construction last night. If it goes well, one more night should be enough. However, this time the demolition is relatively large, and the final effect is still uncertain."
Morgan said nonchalantly: "The city of Hue was demolished back then, how difficult could it be to demolish an adobe wall? Besides, the technology we have today is much higher than it was back then. I played with them for two or three times. God, it's already interesting enough, it's time to get serious."
At this time, Yang Guli didn't have the time to think about what other tricks were in the Haihan people's battle plan. He was now having a headache dealing with the Haihan army that landed in the rear.
According to the report from the horse exploration, the army was gradually advancing southward along the coastline, thus forming a front and back attack on Jijiabao from the north and south directions.If you leave it alone, then after a day or two at the latest, the opponent will appear within the sight of the Jijiabao defenders from the north.
