Chapter 43: A Little Trial
Wanyan Wushu looked up and saw that the person who spoke was Han Qixian. Among the "Yanqing heroes" in the Jin Dynasty, there were two Han people, one of them. He appeared as the right prime minister of Shangshu, and this time he followed Wanyan Wushu to the south for a southern expedition.
Han's greatest contribution to the Jin Dynasty at first was to change the original tribal official system of the Jin Dynasty to the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty. This was not a manifestation of the active sinicization of the Jurchen nobles, but because the original backward tribal organizational form could not control such a vast territory.
Wanyan Wushu's eyes lit up. He knew that Han would not say something he was unsure of, and asked, "What are the best strategies for the first time?"
"King, we can first use the weakness of this firearm to use the continuous attack method of iron cavalry to break it, so that the inferior cavalry, the iron cavalry and the genius horses and other elite cavalry can form a wedge shape with few fronts and more inferiors and inferiors, and attract firepower with inferior cavalry in front. Second, when ambushing and fighting, we can use a small amount of light cavalry to bluff, let them radiate the ambush, and then the main force of the ambush rushes out and annihilate it. Third, we can use shield chariots to mount sandbags to cover the cavalry and push them to the enemy formation before and afterwards to charge."
After thinking about it with the generals, Wanyan Wushu felt that Han's three ideas were good at first. Wanyan Wushu laughed and praised, "You Han people have many ideas!" The generals under the tent also whispered and nodded constantly to praise. Then everyone discussed the details of these three tactics, and then asked the documents to be drafted into chapters and distributed them to various departments of the Jin army as a guideline.
Time passed by, and it was late Xia in a blink of an eye. The 100,000 Jin soldiers in Bozhou had already gathered, and this was the main attack direction of Wanyan Wushu, so most of the Guaizima and Tiefutu in the entire Jin Dynasty were concentrated in Bozhou. Among them were 5,000 Tiefutu and 15,000 Guaizima.
Wanyan Wushu still did not take action. He planned to wait until the autumn was clear and cool, because the Jurchen soldiers of the Jin soldiers were not adapted to the hot weather. But Yue Fei would not give him time. In August of the second year of the Yuechao of the Han Empire, the main force of the Han army's northern expedition advanced northward towards Bozhou.
A bunch of Han soldiers marched on the official road from Shunchang to Bozhou. The shiny armor of the spearmen, the blade of the spearmen, the gun barrels of the musketeers, and the stirrups on the beheaded were all vividly shining in the sunshine of late summer and early autumn.
The team was lined up in line with Beiwei cavalry. Within more than 100 steps on both wings of the team, there were also scouts constantly wandering. The leader was a young general, Yue Fei's adopted son Yue Yun. As the vanguard commander, he led the 3,000 National Defense Forces as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition to approach Bozhou.
In the distance, a scout suddenly put away the Qianli Miles Miles and shouted loudly to the home team behind: "There is an enemy on the left wing!" Yue Yun immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing. He took out the Qianli Miles Miles Miles and looked at the horizon on the left. There were hundreds of Jin soldiers and cavalrymen in the camera. They were either kidnapped horses or Tiefutu, or ordinary Jin army signing light cavalry. Most of these light cavalry were held by the Khitans and Bohai people among the Jin soldiers.
"Brother, do we want to line up to meet the enemy?" Yue Lei, the second son of Yue Fei, asked. This was the first time that the sixteen-year-old Yue Lei had joined the army.
"No hurry! It's too early to prepare now, and the other party may just use the enemy's trick." Yue Yun, who spoke, did not put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile. Sure enough, the dozens of Hu cavalry bluffed forward and rushed forward for hundreds of steps, then turned around and ran away, and disappeared on the horizon in a short while.
Yue Yun's vanguard army had encountered such tricks many times, but Yue Yun knew in his heart that this real and real Jin army cavalry would launch an actual attack on him one day. He ordered all musketeers to carry guns and take off the spare gun barrel from the baggage truck and carry it on his back. All seven gun barrels were filled with ammunition, and the fuse was on fire, and ready to shoot at any time.
The Han army line started again and continued to advance towards the north. Half an hour later, the scout cavalry on both wings discovered the Jin army ranger again. This time, Yue Yun did not ask the team to stop, and deliberately made a statement that his side had been careless.
The more than a hundred Jin soldiers and cavalry indeed rushed over quickly, and then waves of large Jin army cavalry appeared on the horizon, and the number of people was more than that. The last wave was the Jurchen kidnapper.
In the end, Yue Yun determined from the Thousand Mile Mile Mile that there were at least a thousand Golden Cavalry attacks. It was not until the Jin army cavalry at the forefront that Yue Yun ordered the entire army to stop in the formation.
The first round of gunfire sounded, and more than a hundred Jin soldiers and light cavalry who rushed in the front died without any surprise, including the men and horses. The Jin army cavalry, who were behind the scenes, were mentally prepared and repeatedly practiced, knowing that as long as they rushed forward continuously, the opponent's musketeers would not have time to load ammunition and continue to shoot.
However, what surprised them was that the other party did not seem to be loading ammunition. Whenever a wave of Jin army cavalry rushed into the range of the 50-step range of the Han army formation, a round of muskets immediately came. The last two waves of Jin army cavalry were less than ten steps away. The Han army's musketeers actually fired two guns in one or two breaths.
At this time, most of the musketeers used up the preloaded ammunition of the two triple guns and quickly replaced the last single gun barrel. The left side of the official road was in a mess, with Jin army corpses, horse corpses, neighing wounded horses and wailing Jin army wounded soldiers everywhere.
At this time, there were dozens of surviving crutches, and more than a dozen of them mustered up their courage to urge the horse to go forward and make the last bet before death. The other dozen were fired because the horses were frightened or they were timid and afraid, turning their heads back and running wildly.
Dozens of musketeers walked out from behind the large shields supported on the ground, followed behind them, heading towards the last dozen riders and horses. Yue Yun shouted behind them: "Catch the living!"
They shot close-range less than eight steps away from the guillotine horse, and instantly put the last dozen Jin soldiers to the ground. The Beiwei Guards behind them had arrived at this time, rushed to the nearest point and jumped off their horses, pressing several Jin soldiers who had fallen to the ground and tied them up.
...
After some torture in Yue Yun's military tent, the arrogant Jin soldiers who had just opened their mouths one after another. The information they got from them was that Wanyan Wushu had set up ten camps on the east bank of the Wo River, where his kidnapped horses, Tiefutu and 30,000 Jin army infantry were all concentrated. In the past two or three days, the Jin soldiers who harassed the Han army's vanguards all came from these military camps.
In addition, at present, there are only 50,000 remaining Jin army infantry and cavalry in Bozhou. As for how many stations are stationed inside and outside Bozhou City, they are not sure how the 50,000 troops are deployed, and they cannot explain them to death.
After hearing this information, Yue Yun waved his hand, and the Han soldiers took over the lives of these Jurchens and ended their pain.
Yue Lei, who was standing beside him, asked, "Brother, should we cross the Wohe River to meet Wanyan Wushu now, or continue to head towards Bozhou?"
