At this time, the East China Sea Allied Forces had been repulsed. There were screams of ghosts and wolves howling under the city wall. It could be said that corpses were strewn in the fields. It was a mess. There were even nauseating smells of burnt meat. The East China Sea Allied Forces were also quite indifferent.

, did not care about the half-dead people under the city wall, but retreated, probably not expecting that the attack in this county town would be so sharp.@

At this time, it was already noon, and someone had already brought meals. As long as they were on the city wall, they all ate the same meals. This was stipulated when the Dongxia Kingdom was established, and they had to share joys and sorrows.

Meaning. Although there are definitely people working behind the scenes, no one dares to do it openly. It can be seen that although the Eastern Xia Kingdom is the weakest in national power and is located in a remote and bitter cold land, it is indeed unique in being able to rank with the other four countries.

While eating, we can see the difference between the newcomer and the veteran. The newcomer is leaning against the wall with a pale face and doesn't want to drink water. The veteran is eating deliciously, fearing that others will come to snatch it from him.

Similar.

Lin Fengjin was also a little hungry at this time, so he went to get one, which was two wheat steamed buns. There was a sauce plate next to it for dipping, vinegar and chili, etc., as well as a bowl of vegetables.

Porridge, but vegetable porridge is enough to fill you up. Add more as you eat, and the steamed buns will be gone.

Lin Fengjin took a bite and found that the steamed buns were only a little hot on the outside and a little cold on the inside. It should be mixed with bran, which made it a bit rough to eat. However, the vegetable porridge was piping hot and looked very good. It was snow-white.

Rice grains and green vegetable leaves cooked with the fragrance of the vegetable leaves are very delicious. Lin Fengjin drank a few mouthfuls with the half-cooled pancakes, and then found that it was very suitable to his appetite, so he went to add a few more bowls.

After lunch, and probably after discussing for a while, the other party seemed to realize that the archers in Shangqiang County were very sharp, so instead of looking down upon them, they planned to carry out a decent siege, so they had to dig a water line first.

The ditch diverted the water from the moat and then filled the ditch.

While doing these things, they also began to divide their troops, from concentrating on attacking one city wall to attacking the north and south walls at the same time, with the intention of dividing the defenders' strength.

Obviously, after this exploratory attack, based on the opponent's character, once prepared, the elite and red flags and other combat forces should be dispatched this time, hoping to break the city in one fell swoop.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Fengjin also had countermeasures. Of course, he would not be so stupid that he would divide his troops when the opponent divided his troops. His Red Cavalry must be gathered together to exert its greatest strength. As for the Red Flag Ben, the samurai

This kind of individual with superior combat power is also faced by people who are proficient in martial arts in the city, such as the deputy head of the Ping An Escort Bureau, and a retired martial arts practitioner. There are also several brave people among the soldiers. Naturally, there are them

To resist.

For Red Cavalry to be effective, it must be on horseback! Isn’t it true that the east and west gates are not surrounded? As soon as the opponent starts to attack, Red Cavalry will gallop out. Use bows and arrows to launch harassment from the side. In this case, the East China Sea Allied Forces would have

It is not a strong army, but it is still in a state of being cannon fodder for sieges. It is bound to collapse if it is attacked from both sides.

Diverting the water from the moat and filling the trenches are no small projects. Under normal circumstances, it would take the attacker at least three to five days. However, Shangqiang County has already been attacked once before.

The nearby city wall and moat had also collapsed as if the East China Sea Pirates had vented their anger. Therefore, in the afternoon, the opponent was already impatient to launch an attack from this gap. At the same time, the civil engineering works in other places were not put down.

Continue to divert water to fill holes.

This time Lin Fengjin originally thought that his Red Cavalry would have a chance to play, but something no one expected happened.

Just when the battle to defend the city was just beginning... well, it was like a man and a woman going to have sex, already taking off their clothes but not having any real contact, reinforcements arrived.

What reinforcements? Of course they are reinforcements from the Eastern Xia Kingdom.

Even Lin Fengjin ignored this. In fact, he had stayed with Wu Zuocheng for too long, so he was already accustomed to thinking about problems from Wu Zuocheng's perspective, and Wu Zuocheng had always been in a hard struggle and isolation.

In a helpless situation.

But this is not Wu Zuocheng, but Shangqiang County! It is the granary of the Dongxia Kingdom - an important town on the Lianhu Plain in the south of the Yangtze River known as the mouth! If all this place is ruined by East China Sea pirates, then the Dongxia Kingdom

Next year will be very difficult, because the Lianhu Plain where Shang Qiang is located only occupies half (five percent) of the Dongxia land area, but the food produced every year on this fertile land takes up a full

40% of Dongxia’s national grain output!

Therefore, since I heard about the chaos here, the court of Dongxia Kingdom can be said to have been stabbed hard, kicked in the crotch, and acted as quickly as possible.

They responded and came to suppress the thieves, and even asked the leading general to issue a military order.

A large number of cavalry came from the west and suddenly ran into the camp of the East China Sea Allied Forces.

You say that laymen are watching the excitement, and experts are watching the door. Although the number of cavalry coming from the Eastern Xia Army this time is not too small, there are at least one or two thousand people. Plus the billowing smoke and dust brought up by the galloping, the momentum is quite grand.

, and it was still in a situation where the enemy forces were divided, so there was a feeling of having a head start.

However, the people around Lin Fengjin were all shaking their heads. For these men in the Sanli Department, if they were pulled out at random, they would definitely spend more time on horseback than the commander of the cavalry. Therefore, regardless of whether

Having received education or culture, these people have a first-class vision when it comes to cavalry.

Coupled with the war culture of the Central Plains that Lin Fengjin had instilled in them along the way: besieging cities to bring reinforcements, attacking in the east and attacking in the west, and mobilizing tigers from the mountains... These people immediately felt that their eyes suddenly opened up, and a glittering golden road appeared, and even

Some people were so happy that they knelt down tremblingly while holding the book of war.

Why? Because these people can be said to be experienced to a certain extent and are in that stage of inspiration. In peacetime wars, they occasionally find that sabers and bows and arrows are not the decisive factor in the war at certain times.

Some battles that seem absolutely impossible to win can be defeated by just changing the method.

They began to ponder whether this "changing method" was accidental or inevitable, whether it appeared regularly, and whether it could be replicated in other uncontested battles. Lin Fengjin opened a door for them at this time.

Tell them very simply that what you want can be realized, and Zhongyuan has already discussed it in a simple and in-depth manner, as well as a series of extended discussions!!

Therefore, the Red Cavalry men around Lin Fengjin were actually eagerly absorbing the knowledge and culture of war. The most typical example was Lang Tu, who only knew how to rush and fight. He also began to read military books.

Lin Fengjin was watching the battle on the tower at this time. His subordinates shook their heads and said:

"It's just that if you don't think well in your mind, you must speak up and discuss it with everyone. You must know that a person's thinking is always limited, and brainstorming is the real principle. What do you think this cavalry did poorly? Come on.

, Tuohu, you speak first."

Tuohu was standing closest to Lin Fengjin at this time. After hearing this, he said:

"This group of cavalry chose the wrong time. They charged too early. I think they should have waited until the other side had sent out all the red flags and samurai and had already fought hard against the city before entering.

This is the most appropriate time to attack."

Lin Fengjin said:

"In principle, this is correct, but you should also put yourself in the shoes of the generals. They should have received strict orders to ensure that Shangqiang County is not lost. At this time, Lao Wang (Wang Yuanwai) issued

The above submission has been submitted for almost four days, and it should have reached at least the state level. Therefore, Laijun should be very aware of the situation in Shangqiang County."

"In their eyes, more than 3,000 thieves had already defeated Shangqiang County. Although they recaptured it later, the East China Sea pirates counterattacked again that night. This time, even the magistrate's Yamen was brutally attacked. After these two turmoils,

Under normal circumstances, it is very rare for Shangqiang County to be able to organize people to resist! But at this time, the bandit army has made a comeback, with an advantage of thousands of troops! Therefore, the leading general chose to attack at this time.

It was helpless, because he felt that Shangqiang County would inevitably fall under this wave of offensive if he didn't show up."

Tuohu nodded sincerely and said:

"yes."

At this time Chi Bixiong said:

"I see that these cavalry horses are a little frivolous when galloping. Even the bits of the horses are covered with foam. It is obvious that they have run for a long distance and are already at the end of their strength. Moreover, these horses have also lost extremely much fat. It can be seen that they have been raised

There was no intention at all at the time. What kind of impact can such cavalry have when attacking the enemy? Just don’t get yourself trapped in it. With these more than a thousand cavalry, I rushed down with a hundred red cavalry and hung them half-way.

It can be defeated in an hour."

"Haha." Lin Fengjin smiled: "If you compare them with Chiqi, your requirements are too high."

Tuohu immediately followed Lin Fengjin's words and said:

"Yes, can a pack of wolves be compared to a pack of sheep?"

At this time, another guard said:

"The quality of these riders is not very high. I think some of them are barely able to control the reins with one hand, let alone riding and shooting."

***

Although the cavalry army that came was almost completely bruised by the people around Lin Fengjin, they were still regular troops of the Dongxia Army after all. Such a direct forceful attack was still unprepared by the opponent.

Under such circumstances, it also caused heavy damage to the East China Sea Allied Forces.

Lin Fengjin saw clearly from the top of the city tower that after the cavalry rushed into the enemy formation from the west, it lost its impact just halfway through the charge. To be honest, for the cavalry, this happened.

The situation is really very fatal.

The destructive power caused by the cavalry sprinting at high speed can be said to be quite astonishing. If the collision force of the man and horse is added up, a normal person can only describe it as a mantis with arms. The rider does not need to wield the weapon at all, all he does is adjust.

The angle of the spear point or blade can easily pierce the human body, or cause terrible wounds on the enemy.

However, this is based on sprinting. Once the cavalry loses this advantage and is surrounded by infantry, it can be said that it is a headache in a one-on-one battle. The opponent can give full play to its mobility advantage and continue to attack.

It's very annoying to stab a horse in the back. The horse can't turn around as fast as someone can switch positions. What's more, in a real battlefield, when the speed of the cavalry drops, at least five or six people can surround that horse!

It is difficult for Youdao to beat four hands with two fists, let alone when five or six people are surrounding you?

Because of this, the East China Sea Allied Forces did not collapse directly, but after the cavalry rushed into the camp. Urged by the sharp bamboo whistles blown by many ashigaru heads, they frantically surrounded them. The two sides began to show off.

After seeing the stalemate, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but think of the scene he often saw in the north in his previous life - a heavy snow plow with a heartbreaking engine failure.

With a roaring sound and black smoke billowing from behind, it struggled to shovel away the large piles of snow on the road. It was so painful that it seemed like it would break down in the next second.

Finally, the cavalry of the Dongxia Army successfully penetrated the camp below the East China Sea Alliance Army and successfully achieved the tactical goal. There is no doubt that this attack caused heavy damage to the East China Sea Alliance Army. This is also normal, whether it is human or

You beast, it wouldn't be very comfortable to be stabbed hard or even stabbed directly with a penetrating wound. In the same way, you can also put yourself in the shoes of the East China Sea Allied Forces.

However, it was definitely not only the East China Sea Allied Forces that suffered heavy losses, the Dongxia Cavalry Army that launched the charge was not much better either.

Let's put it this way, comparing the Dongxia Cavalry to a thick popsicle, then the camp of the East China Sea Alliance Army is like a basin of boiling water. After this popsicle wandered around in the basin of boiling water and finally escaped, it had at least

It has shrunk by more than half, and the adjective added in front of it can also be changed from "thick" to "slender", which is more appropriate.

The guards around Lin Fengjin are all experts in cavalry warfare, and their shooting skills are extremely strong. The prerequisite for strong shooting skills must be very good eyesight, so they have reported the losses of the Dongxia Cavalry very accurately:

"Before charging into the formation, there were about 1,600 cavalry, and now there are about 840 cavalry rushing out. However, at least 200 horses were disabled, and at most only 600 cavalry can regain their fighting strength.

"
