Yanguli's knowledge of gunpowder is more based on artillery, muskets and other weapons. This is because Kong Youde brought a large number of military craftsmen to Houjin two years ago when he wrapped the rebels across the sea to seek refuge in Houjin. The ability to produce their own weapons that once terrified them.But for the purpose of blasting, Yanguli really has no relevant concept. This is because Houjin's gunpowder production capacity is extremely limited, and the supply of the army is still stretched, and it can no longer be used for research on weapons of mass destruction or other bizarre uses.
As for the advanced forms of nitroglycerin explosives, safety fuses, mercury detonators, etc. used in the Haihan Army, let alone Yanguli, even the craftsmen who brought gunpowder and artillery technology to Houjin have no relevant concepts at all. .For the special attack method of blasting, the Jin Army has never heard of it, and naturally it will not take this kind of tactic as the object of prevention.
There are two "blasting" incidents recorded in the Ming Dynasty, the most famous ones.One is the explosion of the Wang Gong factory in 1626, but there have been different opinions on the real cause of the explosion, and there is no convincing official explanation.The time travelers came to this time and space in the year following the big explosion. Although they had also thought of some ways to inquire about the inside story out of curiosity, there was no actual gain, and they could only guess. The explosion may be related to the large amount of gunpowder stored at the Wang Gong factory at that time.
Another incident has not yet happened. When Zhang Xianzhong, the general of the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty, used gunpowder to blast the city walls when he attacked the two cities of Chongqing and Chengdu, and the effect was remarkable.However, this will only happen after several years, and it is difficult to say whether the original historical trajectory will be followed in this time and space with Haihan's intervention.
As for the Houjin army in the distant Liaodong, they never thought that a section of the fortress defense line they had worked so hard to manage would suddenly disappear out of thin air, and the Haihan army broke through without any effort.
Yanguli could only guess based on his intuition that something was wrong in the direction of the loud noise, but the Haihan artillery outside was still bombarding Jijiabao sporadically, and he did not dare to arbitrarily at this time. If you leave, you can only send a competent subordinate to that direction to check what happened.Even so, the strong sense of unease in his heart did not show any signs of fading. Instead, it became more and more intense, and even his back began to sweat unconsciously.
Yanguli didn't know what this warning sign meant, but he subconsciously ordered his subordinates to bring him armor, dressed in advance, and prepared for the challenge.Although the Haihan Army outside Jijiabao did not launch a real offensive, Yang Guli had a hunch that the offensive and defensive situation of the two will inevitably be resolved within today.
Yanguli didn't wait too long, and the bad news came. The Haihan army created an explosion at the distance from Jijiabao, blasting a large gap of six or seven feet wide in the defense line city wall, and then before the defenders arrived. The line of defense has been breached.At present, the casualty status of our own side is unknown, but it is probably difficult to find a living person within a radius of [-] meters from the explosion site.
After hearing the news, Yang Guli suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, and his body softened uncontrollably. If it wasn't for the guard next to him, he would have almost fallen to the ground.Although he expected that Haihan might have a sudden attack, he never imagined that it would be so unconventional.He didn't understand how Haihan made a section of the city wall evaporate in an instant, but he knew that if he wanted to block the opening again, it would be very difficult.
Yanguli calmed down a little, and then asked for details, only to know that Haihan had already had about a thousand troops pouring in from the gap and was building a defensive offensive there.Yanguli felt a big head when he heard it. If Haihan immediately launched the offensive after breaking the defense line and attacked the fortresses and camps on the defense line, Yanguli could also use the mobility of the cavalry to deal with it. I'm not sure. In the process, there is still hope for a comeback to seize the fighter.But Haihan was so steady and steady that after breaking through the defense line, instead of rushing forward, he stopped to build defensive fortifications. It seems that he had already calculated the possible reactions of his own side, maybe he was waiting for Yanguli to hit the iron plate.
But he had to go, and he had to go immediately, otherwise, as the defender of this line of defense, he would have to bear all the consequences of the fall.Yanguli immediately gave an order to gather the team, leaving a thousand people to continue to defend in Jijiabao, and personally rushed to the scene of the accident with more than two thousand people to put out the fire.
Using blasting means to break through the Jinzhou fortress line is not Haihan's only combat plan, but all departments in the military are still fully prepared for this, especially the various tools and materials needed to build fortifications for setting up positions. In a short time, it was sent to the gap with a carriage.Hundreds of civilians and sappers immediately got busy, trying to transform this place into a position that could defend against Houjin's counterattack in the shortest possible time.
When calculating the blasting equivalent, it was already considered that a position would be built in this gap, not only to allow the Haihan Army to quickly pass through here and enter the north of the defense line, but also to rely on the terrain here to defend this passage.
At this time, the east-west defense wall becomes an obstacle that restricts the enemy's ability to play. The Haihan army only needs to build an arc-shaped position facing the north to cover this gap, and the enemy will be formed as a cavalry formation. To launch a counterattack, the attack surface is only less than 180 degrees.What's more, the position is bordered by the city wall, so Haihan can build the best three-dimensional firepower network to deal with the Hou Jin army.If the opponent wants to launch a counterattack on the city wall, it is easy to defend, and the passage of the city wall less than seven feet wide will definitely become a nightmare for Hou Jin soldiers.
The two main passages in the east and west of the defense line were blocked by the defenders themselves with wood and stones, and they would not be able to get out from the inside to flank Haihan's back road for a while.Even if they immediately clear the passage by themselves, the artillery outside Jijiabao and Sujiabao will not sit idly by, and it is not easy to kill them in reverse.
In this way, the Haihan Army who defended the gap only needed to concentrate on dealing with the enemy north of the line of defense.The other side can only defend the line of defense after regaining control of this place. They can only do their best to attack the gap currently controlled by Haihan, and this is the real purpose of Haihan's design of such a seemingly complicated combat plan .
It was never difficult for Haihan to break through this line of defense. Organizing a large-scale landing behind enemy lines was nothing more than sending more ships to join the battle.In order to achieve the combat goal of severely inflicting heavy damage on the enemy, the opponent must gather forces and launch an attack actively, otherwise, with the limited land mobility of the Haihan Army, it is impossible to retain Houjin's cavalry.The purpose of building a position in the gap in the defense line after the blasting was precisely this purpose. After being forced, the Jin Army had to take the initiative to fight.
Although the radius of this arc-shaped position is only 50 meters, Haihan has already invested [-] troops in this place. Almost all the main force of the special warfare battalion is concentrated here. The direction of Jijiabao has been handed over to the Pidao Army to block it.The Sujiabao on the other side of the defense line was watched by Haru Gong who just returned to the south yesterday.
"The next step is to bet here!" Qian Tiandun said proudly, standing on the city wall that was originally part of the defense line, looking at the Houjin cavalry that had appeared on the horizon in the distance.
Beside him were Morgan, who led the blasting operation, and Chen Yixin, who was in charge of commanding the special operations battalion. After hearing this, they both looked at each other and smiled.The battlefield situation in front of them is exactly what they expected to be the most favorable situation for Haihan. Next, they only need to let go of their hands and shoot as many Houjin soldiers who are trying to counterattack as possible.
Chen Yixin is in charge of commanding the special operations battalion on the front line to face the Jin Army. Morgan will lead his sniper team to set up multiple sniper positions on the city wall, and take advantage of the terrain to shoot and kill some valuable battlefield targets.Qian Tiandun, on the other hand, is in charge of the overall situation, coordinating and directing the connection between the front-line combat troops and the reserve troops, and logistical arrangements.The three perform their duties and begin to direct the decisive battle of the Spring Offensive.
After Yanguli arrived at the battlefield, he observed the terrain and secretly complained that the defensive line city wall, which was originally used to resist the northern invasion of the Haihan Army, has now become the opponent's reliance, limiting his own attack lines.Seeing the position that was still being reinforced and repaired, Yanguli subconsciously remembered the scene when he attacked the beachhead by the sea yesterday.It's just that the scale of this position today is larger than that of yesterday, and there are naturally more Haihan troops stationed in it. If you want to capture this place, the number of casualties is probably not small.
But now it is a difficult situation to ride a tiger. Whether Yanguli is willing or not, this battle must be fought, and the sooner the better, otherwise, after a day or two, Haihan will turn this temporary position into a fortress , then Jin Jun's odds of winning are even smaller.Although he had already sent a request for help to Azig, the current situation did not allow him to wait any longer.
"Beat the drums! Attack!" Yang Guli gave the order to start the war with a grim expression.
Several cowhide drums sounded in the Houjin army, and then semaphores were played in the Yangguli formation, instructing the troops coming from Sujiabao in the west to join the battle.From the east and west, a cavalry team with a size of [-] people slowly left the camp and marched towards the Haihan position.Needless to say, this is of course the cavalry charge that the Houjin Army is most reliant on and good at.It's just that today is limited by the terrain, it is difficult for them to use some tactics such as changing direction, repeatedly attacking, and luring the enemy to open fire. They can only fight against Haihan in earnest.
Not far behind, a thousand-man cavalry team on both sides slowly followed. It seemed that Yanguli was determined to make a desperate attempt and planned to directly throw the main force to attack the Haihan position and leave Haihan alone. Any respite.
This is something Yanguli realized in yesterday's battle, that is, to make full use of his own strength advantages and the combat experience of his soldiers, relying on more people to fight hard.Even if the Haihan Army had sharp guns, there would always be gaps for ammunition to be loaded. Even if it was just such a short interval, it was enough for the brave Bagala warriors to rush in.He even believed that if he had realized this truth earlier yesterday, maybe that position would have been taken by him.
However, the previous defeats are not important. Yanguli knows that he only needs to win the battle in front of him now, so no one will pursue the defeat of yesterday.But if the battle in front of you is lost, then you will probably have to settle the old and new accounts together afterwards.
No matter how many victories he has won in the past, even if he has the status of consort, if the Golden State defense line is lost from his own hands, it will be difficult to offset his sins.Afterwards, when Huang Taiji was investigated, he, the commander, would definitely not be able to escape the responsibility, and he would have to issue a decree to remove part of his military power.
So Yanguly knew very well what this line of defense meant to him, and even if he died in battle, he could not lose.He has ordered more than [-] troops to be assembled here, which has accounted for more than [-]% of the garrisoned troops in the entire line of defense. If they can't win the position of the Haihan people, at least they have to fight with the enemy. At least Huang Taiji will no longer embarrass his own people because of this.
After the two batches of cavalry, the remaining infantry also began to move. Except for a few baggage logistics troops, all the troops that Yanguli mobilized here were thrown into the battlefield at once.Such a wave of tactics is extremely risky, and it can even be said to be a complete gamble.If Houjin loses, it will be tantamount to giving up the entire line of defense automatically, but if you can win this game, it will be reasonable to inflict heavy damage on the Haihan Army.
"It's a big game!" Qian Tiandun quickly confirmed the opponent's attacking strategy from the telescope, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
Similar to this method of smashing into all the belongings as soon as it comes up, it is actually rare in battle.Generally, as long as they are not pushed into a desperate situation, the generals will leave themselves a retreat from the battlefield when arranging troops.It can be seen from this that the Jin army has indeed been anxious after this. Qian Tiandun believes that this is because the fortress line of defense is of great significance to the latter, and there is no room for loss. The next offensive got a lot of fire, and seized the opportunity of a head-to-head battle, a decisive attack came with the whole army.
Although the position Haihan set up here has a radius of 50 meters, it does not mean that all 2000 people are packed into the position. The number of people who are really preparing for battle on the front line is only 800 people. affect combat effectiveness.In addition, there are not more than a thousand people deployed on the nearby city wall, and nearly half of the remaining people are serving as backups on the south side of the position, ready to replace the front-line troops at any time.
