Dawei Fanghua

Qin Liang arranged his own offensive plan, but even he didn't expect that the Wu army would break through the defense in the first round of attack!
He was very confident before launching the war; this was because the Jin army had advantages in weapons and equipment, and the defense line near the old city was a passive defense, which would give the Jin army sufficient preparation time.But I didn't expect that Wu Jun's first fortification would be overturned so quickly and in just one morning.Yesterday, he was still thinking that he had to adjust his tactics in a timely manner based on the actual situation, so there was no need to adjust them now.

The sun has not completely dispelled the fog, the air is still not transparent enough, the scenery in the distance is foggy, and the line of sight is gradually getting farther.

The position of the Chinese army's banner, on the platform at the west foot of the east mountain, is exactly where the Jin army set out.The place where Qin Liang and others were located was on relatively low ground, and the situation behind Wu Jun's fortifications could not actually be seen; but even on the ridge of Dongshan Mountain, there was nothing visible in the fog, especially in the early morning.

This place is closer to the front line, and it is more convenient for those who deliver messages and letters without having to climb back and forth to Dongshan.If you get closer, there is no need. Qin Liang is the emperor now after all.

Moreover, some situations do not need to be seen directly. Some judgments can be drawn from the signs of the Jin army's advance. The generals on the front line will successively send people back to report the military situation.

The sound of "crackling" enveloped the entire land, and the noise in the distance turned into a huge "buzzing" noise.Such an atmosphere is really like the countryside on the morning of the first day of the new year in later generations. The mountains and plains are full of people visiting graves setting off firecrackers, and the local dogs will tremble with fear! !From the Jushan Front to the Gushi Battlefield here, the sound of firearms from far and near came and went one after another, continuing to echo in the Dongshan Mountains. It was no longer clear whether it was the sound of gunshots or the echo.

Just now, even Zhong Hui and others looked a little unbelievable, saying that His Majesty's troops were really marching in!
Wu Jun's first line of defense is on the high ground at the west end of the platform, and it can't be defended there; the second line of defense is on the low ground, and Wu Jun can't even defend it! !Even the old city wall behind it cannot stop the Jin army's offensive. Qin Liang can directly penetrate them today!So Qin Liang made some adjustments to the positions of the armies, and adjusted today's tactical goal to penetrate the old city and cut off the connection between the Jushan defense line, Jushan Pier and Xiling City.

At this time, the same person who was stunned was the Xiling Governor and Buxie.

Although there was heavy fog early in the morning, making it difficult to see the distant scene, the Infantry Association had already judged the situation from the news reported from the front line and the loud noise.Bu Xie was leading his elite troops out of the village gate of the old city, wanting to go over and see the situation with his own eyes.

At this time, another horseman ran over with a small flag. When he saw the regimental flag of the Infantry Association, he hurriedly dismounted and clasped his fists: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the fortifications ahead have been lost and a large number of enemy troops have rushed in!"

The generals and followers around him were immediately in an uproar.In fact, everyone had already prepared in their hearts, but they were still very moved when they heard the news just now, and there was a burst of noisy discussion.

The generals in Xiling originally planned to defend the Jushan defense line for several months!We must first rely on the terrain and fortifications to fight here, and then wait for reinforcements!
Now it seems that there is no more back-and-forth fighting.Let alone a few months, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether I can hold on for a day today.

The matter shouldn't be about Bu Xie. He was by no means a mediocre general in Wu State. What's more, Lu Kang also personally visited the old city to inspect it, and he also never said that there was anything wrong with his fortifications!But Bu Xie couldn't help but be surprised. The current line of defense was just like paper!
A general said: "The Jin army's firearms are different again. According to people who have been to the Xianxi battlefield, the Northern army's gun barrels are made of copper and cannot break armor beyond ten steps. But just now the front line reported that the Jin army Before going up the ladder, we fired with fire tubes for a long time more than [-] steps away, which caused heavy casualties to our defenders. In addition to the artillery that destroyed our army's fence, those fire tubes also affected the morale of our army, resulting in weak resistance in close combat... …”

Another voice said: "The camps on both sides of the Jushan Valley do not seem to be the target of the Jin army. They are trying to break through in the middle, directly overturning the three lines of defense and dividing our army into two sections!!" That's nonsense. If the Jin army wanted to attack those two fortresses, wasn't it also to break through the weak points of the defense line in the valley?What else is necessary now?
"Rumble, rumble..." Outside the second line of defense, there was a dull sound of horses running, and even the Jin army's cavalry had come over.

As the commander-in-chief of the Xiling battlefield, Bu Xie cannot do nothing here at this time. Even if the decision is wrong, it is better than sitting still and waiting for death!After all, if the general has nothing to do, the people below will be even less willing to continue fighting.

After weighing it for a while, he gave up the trip to the front line, since he couldn't see anything more.He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and said: "Go back to the old city!! Gather all the men and horses from the old city and the reserve men and horses from the military camp west of Jushan, and form a formation immediately!"

The generals responded one after another: "Here!" "Yes!"

Bu Xie had a serious face and didn't say much. He was already in a very bad mood!The feeling here is not just the sense of failure of losing a battle, but a kind of panic.

Just like when I was reading the Analects of Confucius when I was a child, I finally became a good student praised by my mentor and classmates. But when I returned to my hometown, I suddenly found myself among the disciples of the clan and started to study the I Ching in the middle. Wouldn’t that be crazy!
This is how the Infantry Association feels now. The tactics of the Jin army are not the same at all!Although it is not an incomprehensible thing such as meteorites falling from the sky or ghosts and gods borrowing the wind, the battle between the two armies is a competition between people. Everyone is calculating the opponent's moves, but suddenly encounters something that has not been seen before. , Even if it is just a local advantage, how can people deploy specific tactics when they are caught off guard?
However, the Football Association can only bite the bullet and continue. You can't give up right after you start fighting!How could Xiling, which the Bu family had managed for many years, be willing to give it away so easily?There are so many families in the Wu Kingdom. Wouldn’t it make them laugh at them for decades when they see the Bu family like this?
If you give up like this, it’s really better to surrender from the beginning!That would at most mean that there is a problem with the Bu family's loyalty, but not that they are weak-willed and live up to their name!
"Please call for the flag and go to Jushanxi Military Camp to mobilize troops!" Bu Ji's voice said.

Bu Xie came to his senses, nodded and said: "Give me the flag!"

The generals also clasped their fists, saluted and said goodbye. They went to various parts of the old city to gather their own troops.This is also the decision made by the Bu Xie himself just now.

No matter how many things there are, we must adapt to circumstances now!
If we continue to hold on like this, it is obvious that we cannot hold on anymore. The first line of defense is on the high ground at the west end of the platform. It can be broken with a single attack. The defense line behind has no terrain advantage, let alone holding it!For the current plan, we can only gather the troops that can be mobilized outside the city to form a battle formation, and then suddenly counterattack or gain some opportunities!
Now the AFA has two options.One is to wait for the enemy to break through the second line of defense, then take advantage of its unstable footing to gather troops outside the city wall and launch an attack. This will give more time to reorganize the army.But if the Jin army is allowed to break through two lines of defense in one morning, it will definitely have a greater impact on the Wu army soldiers, and their confidence and morale will be even lower!Moreover, most of Wu's troops were infantry. Even if they could defeat the enemy in one place, they would not be able to expand their victory over a defense line that was several miles long.

So the Infantry Association decided to choose the latter option. While the Jin army was attacking the second line of defense, they took the time to go around and attack its flanks!

At this time, Bu Xie also thought of a plan.The Bu family is a family with a private army and has raised a small group of elite cavalry. The Xiling Army plus the Jingzhou reinforcements may not be as effective as a whole, but the bravery of this elite cavalry is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers!When the main force of the Wu army in Gucheng will face the Jin army head-on, the Infantry Association will be able to find opportunities to lead their elite cavalry to find the opponent's generals, kill the generals, seize the flag, and destroy the enemy's morale!
As for the conservative defensive deployment in the early stage, the Infantry Association has completely given up.The new strategy is a risk, and the chances are not great, but at least there is always some hope of victory.
