Chapter 236 Right and Wrong

8days ago Historical fiction 7
A large group of people under the city were retreating westward like a tide, and the retreating troops looked very chaotic.

The people around Zhang Ning were excited, and the first confrontation was obviously a victory.

Zhu Yong lost because he didn't understand his opponent. This was a war different from the past. Otherwise, without martial arts, the infantry would rush to the musket formation; this is probably the case if he was caught off guard.

However, Zhu Yong was defeated only two thousand people; but he had a total of six thousand people.

Even if the defeated soldiers who are currently scattered, some of them will escape, and some of them will be reorganized under the rear camp.

As Zhang Ning thought before, there is no way to win just by defense.

Order the artillery to fire, and fire at Zhu Yongjun's camp in the distance!这时张宁果断下了命令。

The mezzanine and mortar are things that Zhu Yongjun doesn't know about, and the first strike has the best effect.

Previously, Zhou Mengxiong suggested that he would catch him off guard with artillery at the beginning and give Zhu Yong a warning and a blow to their morale, but Zhang Ning did not accept it.

Now he realized the time: the defeated soldiers surging westward can gradually organize when they arrive at Zhu Yong's central army camp; but if the defeated soldiers return to the camp and find that the central army is also bombarded, it will not be so easy for them to restore order and combat effectiveness.

It is very likely that the central army camp that was bombarded would be affected by the defeated troops and dispersed; rather than the other way around.

Attack is about attacking the enemy, not just trying to be defeated by attacks.

Zhang Ning has to use the only cards in his hand for offense; even if he is weak, he will never win if he just wants to defend.

And this war obviously has no option to tie the peace.

A cannon that had been loaded and prepared had a loud bang. The sound of the cannon was simply shaking, and its huge sound was no longer comparable to that of the mezzanine under the city.

Zhang Ning clearly felt the city wall trembling, and the chairs under him also made a rattle on the brick floor.

He saw that the bricks on the walls were shaken off and fell off the head of the city.

The recoil of the cannon was a bit surprising. No one thought about preventing it before the war. Will the eleven artillery fire on the wall of a small city damage the wall?

The military general who had been fighting for a long time couldn't help but lose his color at this time. Instead, Zhang Ning, who was known as a literati, sat without moving his face.

A scream sounded in the air, making people feel the force of the shells tearing through the air.The huge bomb did not hit any target without any accident, so the artillery guards began to re-adjust the angle.

The pace of war in this era is actually relatively slow. The defeated soldiers retreated to their central army, and they still have to walk a long way to return to the mile.

However, the response of the army and weapons was not fast, just like Zhang Ning's artillery, which had been loaded, but if you want to hit the target more artillery, it still requires a process of adjustment and testing; before the war begins, no one knows where Zhu Yong's army will be arranged.

Therefore, when Zhang Ning made judgments and decisions, he could not make a slow pace, and he had to make a judgment in advance.

In order to achieve the goal of bombarding the official army camp when the defeated troops approach the camp, we can only start the action in advance, and the tactic itself also requires a process.

If the defeated troops have entered the camp and make the decision to bombard, they can only watch the fighter planes be lost.

The fighter's opportunity is fleeting.

As the side with weak troops, Zhang Ning's tactical error tolerance rate is too low.

As long as there is a little mistake, everything will be lost; just like the infantry battle under the city just now, if the Suzaku Army makes a mistake, the thin camp will be defeated and even wiped out by the army.

Zhu Yong's conditions were much better. He was wrong with the infantry assault musket array once, but he still had a chance, because one mistake was not enough to destroy the entire army.

Zhang Ning told himself that he must make the most correct decision at every minute and every moment, and that all opportunities are only once.

There are many processes and steps in a big battle, and each step cannot be wrong. The accuracy rate of each step is a residual rule according to mathematics, so Zhang Ning realized from the beginning that his winning rate was very low.

Therefore, he must maintain his best state anytime and anywhere, keep his mind clear and emotionally stable, and do not ignore every part of the huge amount of information.

The roar of artillery began one after another. He was still sitting firmly on the chair. He silently said to himself in his heart: I slept well last night, I was in good health, I was relaxed all over, and I was in a good mood, not much joy but I wouldn't be sad; I was clear-headed and quick-thinking...

At this moment, the crowd of the official army camp in sight rose with an explosion of smoke, and a shell successfully hit their queue.

In fact, the explosion bombs fired by the mortar cannon are completely different from the situation where grenades hit people in the modern sense and blow people into pieces. Explosive bombs are hollowed out by craftsmen or hollowed out by casting stones or casting iron. They are filled with black gunpowder and use long reed tubes to load the fuse. After it is fired, the fuse detonates the internal gunpowder and ignites, and then the exploded cannon shell fragments hurt people.

The power of the black gunpowder seal burning is really limited, the number of fragments is not large, and the army soldiers are protected by armor. Even if they fall into the crowd, there are not many people who can kill.

Zhang Ning had no choice but to use a long-barrel cannon to fire a solid bullet with a very low shell speed in his hand. Otherwise, it would be better to use a long-barrel cannon to shoot solid bullets flat in field battles.

However, the psychological deterrence effect achieved by the bomb in the crowd is far more meaningful than actual killing. I saw that the officers and horses in the distant army panicked, and chaos appeared in the queue near the bomb explosion.

After a while, the defeated soldiers were approaching the official camp.

The second loading of the mortar cannons on the city wall of the Suzaku Army was finally completed, and the angle was also tried. Suddenly, a group of cannons roared, and eleven mortar cannons fired a round of volleys.

After the thunder, the shells in the air roared and mostly fell into Zhu Yong's camp. The mud, stone, soil and smoke that exploded seemed to be about to swallow the entire army.The official and military crowd began to be faintly turbulent.

At this time, if a fast-mobile cavalry suddenly advances from the side rear wing, it can be imagined that it is very easy to break the formation.

But Zhang Ning had almost no cavalry, and had more than 400 war horses, but it did not mean that there was a cavalry that could fight in groups.

Seeing this, Zhou Mengxiong couldn't help but say: Your Highness is so smart, I am convinced.In this situation, it may take some time for Zhu Yong to attack again.

We also need to do a really effective offensive strike.

Zhang Ning said calmly.

The function of the firearm is only to dismantle the attacks of the government army, but the killing is just the superficial. It would be of little significance to achieve such a battle fruit only.

There was no hesitation on Zhang Ning's face, but it took him a while to speak, revealing his inner weighing. He said: Order Wei Bin to take the main force of the left and right whistles and attack forward!

Zhou Mengxiong, who had just said he was impressed, also hurriedly reminded: Our army was weak, and the attack lost its barrier and might be surrounded.Even though there was chaos in the official military camp at this time... there was still a team of horses that had not revealed, so we had to guard against it.Please think twice!

After hearing this, Zhang Ning sorted out his thoughts again: No matter how strong or weak it is, since he wants to fight this battle in Gaodu County, the purpose is very clear to defeat Zhu Yong's army; if he doesn't try to win and just protect himself, why fight this battle?

Besides, if Zhu Yong's army was not completely defeated, can this battle end?

Since we want to win, the government army is in chaos. Nearly half of the infantry have just been defeated from the front, which is the best opportunity to attack. If we don’t try to attack and defeat them now, how can we win in the future?

The idea cannot be limited to risks, and you cannot just think that you will be attacked by cavalry when you attack, and you may be defeated...

Because from the beginning, such a big risk was destined.

If you don’t experience risks, you can only sit back and wait for death.

Perhaps some choices have no correct answers at all, and it is wrong to choose whatever you have no way out.Then you can only choose an option that looks a bit of a chance.

He tried hard to maintain a stable mood and called a guard, pulled out a token from the shelf, and handed the sword in his hand over: Go down to Commander Wei and pass my order.You can lead the main force to attack. If the attack goes smoothly, do not advance easily and rush forward. The goal is to defeat the main force of Zhu Yong's army one mile away; if the official cavalry appears, four round formations should be deployed to fight.There is no need to force the above targets, and you can return to the city depending on the opportunity.

After listening intently, the guard repeated it again. After getting Zhang Ning nodded, he asked someone to send the order to go down to the city.

Seeing this, Zhou Mengxiong fell silent. He once again understood his identity. He was just an adviser and had no right to influence the decisions of the Suzaku Army.

The Suzaku Army under the city had a total of about one thousand people, and the main forces were concentrated there.

Wei Bin made a little rectification and arranged all the people into four square formations, which were like the official and infantry army, and then ran and advanced west along the river.

Thousands of people and their fancy formations are not enough, and the formation is not enough to maintain order.

Fortunately, the Zhuque Army usually has a lot of queue training content, so there is no problem with running simultaneously, and it will not disrupt the team. It is still useful for short-distance advancement.

Almost all of Zhang Ning's troops were involved in the attack below. The troops were not very spectacular, and it was obvious at a glance that he had put all his strength into practice.

The attack distance is one mile away, and the soldiers armed with the armor are trotting, and it takes about one stick of incense (about five minutes, three sticks of incense are one moment), which is not short or long.

Zhu Yong in the official army camp saw that the people on the other side of the city were actually advancing towards him, and he was a little unbelievable.

The shells still fell into the formation from time to time and exploded. His team was a little confused. The defeated soldiers in front of the formation and flank were even more burdened at this time. Most of the soldiers could not find their generals and were in a mess. They didn't know what to do. Some of them took off their armor and jumped into the river to escape on the spot.

Just now, a general suggested retreating and re-arrangement to avoid being threatened by artillery; but the rebels actually attacked at this time, and if they try to retreat now, they will easily be defeated by taking advantage of the situation and retreating into defeat.

Is the thief army going to attack us?Zhu Yong blurted out a surprised words.

The general looked ahead from a distance and replied seriously: They seemed to have such a plan.

Send someone to order Feng Youxian’s cavalry to attack immediately!Zhu Yong said without hesitation.
