Baili Yan lined up at the east gate, the front width of the battle line was extremely large, and the deep diving, once the flank was attacked, the queue would quickly fall into chaos, and at this time, the Jin Xuedi people in the garrison camp would kill from the east gate again, and they would divide the entire array into two, which was the biggest drawback of the front wide front.

If the four gates are surrounded and 70,000 people surround 50,000 people, it is tantamount to diluting their own forces and giving the Jinxuedi people a chance to break through, and if the battle line is narrowed and the thickness of the battle line is increased, it is extremely inconvenient to advance and retreat, and they will also have to face the dilemma of being attacked on the flanks.

Weighing the pros and cons, a wide front line will be beneficial to advance and retreat, but to avoid attacks on the flanks, you will have to choose a hard-fought head-to-head duel.

Lu Gao's mixed army and Yuke's combined army were the strongest, with a total of 40,000 people, and while the Jin Xuedi people were rapidly detouring from the northern flank, the defenders in the camp were rapidly assembling in an attempt to defeat the northern flank of the coalition army, and then kill from the front, cutting off the coalition army from the middle.

At the same time, Tian Peng sent the dead soldiers, several people as a group, more than a dozen groups of dead soldiers wearing fish scale iron armor, carrying a wooden shield, holding a barrel of gunpowder, quickly approached the east gate under the wooden fence, lit the fuse and quickly retreated, with more than a dozen explosions, the thick wooden fence at the mouth of the bowl exploded in a blink of an eye up to a hundred steps gap, the explosion power killed all living people within a radius of fifteen steps, and the air wave spread dozens of meters away.

Before the Jin Xuedi people could recover from their stunned, a battle horn suddenly sounded, and the soldiers of the coalition army frantically poured into the gap under the cover of bows and crossbows and stone artillery vehicles, killing the camp. The Jin Xuedi people, who were still assembling, not only did not wait for the opportunity to divide the coalition forces, but were shocked by the huge explosion.

At the beginning of the fierce battle to the beginning of the Shen period, the coalition army reached the peak, and Bailiyan suddenly ordered the troops to be collected:

"Jiang Jie, order Sikong Nan, Fang Liang's new battalion, Bai He, and Tian Peng's new subordinate army to withdraw their troops!"

Jiang Jie asked puzzled:

"My lord, it's still early, our army has already reached the peak, is it too hasty to collect troops at this time?"

"Hugh asks more questions, and does what is ordered!"

"Yes!"

When he was young, the men and horses in the camp dragged the corpses of their own people and the wounded soldiers and fought and retreated, and when they were exhausted, Bailiyan ordered Fang Liang, Lu Gao and the Yuke coalition army to withdraw, and ordered Sikong Nan and Fang Liang to lead the new battalion to pick up the broken back. Jin Xuedi suffered a big loss at this time, and did not dare to pursue under the attack of the new battalion.

The war was in full swing, and the coalition forces were in the middle of their slaughter, and suddenly ordered to withdraw their troops in advance, and the generals did not buy it:

"General, our army's morale is high, why should we withdraw our troops in advance?"

Sikong Nan asked, he and the generals knew about the planned deployment, but they didn't expect to withdraw so early. Also complaining is Lu Gao, the oldest in service:

"If we withdraw like this, the achievements of today's battle will be wasted, and the brothers will not die in vain."

The complaints were endless, Bai Liyan was unmoved, and said expressionlessly:

"You only know how to fight, but do you know how many casualties we have suffered?"

"How much?" Lu Gao asked.

"There were more than 59,000 people left standing, and 7,000 people who were lying down and sitting with the lightly wounded and panting, and more than 3,000 people were killed in battle. I estimate that Jin Xuedi has injured more than us, but died less than us. What good is it to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to yourself in this way? ”

"Then what are the general's plans, do you have to attack again?" Sikong Nan asked.

"After the army is slightly repaired, our army stormed the east gate to attract troops to surround it, Jiang Jie ordered a thousand soldiers, and collected all the abandoned weapons scattered before, Lu Gao, Sikong Nan, and Fang Liang brought enough gunpowder, and I quickly detoured to the west gate, and only after a battle, our army only attacked the east gate, and the Jin Xuedi people will place the wounded soldiers in the west camp far away from the east gate, so after blowing up the wooden fence at the west gate of the gate, give priority to killing the wounded, rob the weapons, and then withdraw and retreat to the main formation."

As soon as the words came out, the scene fell silent, and at this time, everyone suddenly realized, and couldn't help but secretly think, this trick is really fucking poisonous.

Because the allied army is not as good as the barbarian army, the direct lethality rate of gunpowder killing is not high, so the casualty rate of the coalition army is higher than that of the barbarian army, and the casualties of the new annexed army are higher than that of the coalition army.

But at present, the coalition army has one less person and cannot be replenished in a short period of time, so Bailiyan has always been aimed at achieving the goal and has never advocated fighting a dignified battle.

Quickly complete the deployment of troops, and half an hour later, Bailiyan attacked the east gate again. However, this time it was no longer the previous time to throw gunpowder and alcohol step by step, and directly approached the camp, forming a shield array to block the front, and during the interspersed period of spears and short swords, Jin Xuedi people stabbed after holding the wooden fence.

At the same time, the grenadiers and crossbowmen shrank behind, and bombed the barbarian places in the camp with a lot of arrows, attracting the main force to the east gate, and the infantry army blew up the large camps on the north and south sides from the two wings, and quickly drove the Jinxuedi people to the densely populated place at the east gate, and the denser the personnel, the higher the explosive coverage rate of gunpowder at the same time.

Fierce battle to dusk, basically completed the siege on three sides, under the fierce offensive of the coalition army, the barbarian army was on the verge of collapse, at this time the battle was smoother than expected, after the north and south battalions were opened, Lu Gao, Sikong Nan, Fang Liang did not even need to blow up the west gate, easily killed the west camp, quickly killed the wounded soldiers of the barbarians, robbed the weapons and retreated into the formation, only two quarters of an hour before and after, almost no resistance.

At night, the reinforcements of the barbarian army from the western battalion were faintly visible, and the 60,000 ambush soldiers from the western battalion were hurriedly transferred to the northwest camp last night, and if they wanted to rush to the southwest battalion, they had to transfer the 60,000 ambush soldiers who were transferred to the northwest battalion last night to the western battalion again, and after arriving, the defenders of the western battalion were transferred to the southwest battalion.

In this way, it will take a day to come and go, unless it is to abandon the West Camp and directly transfer troops to help, and in this way, Jin Xuedi people are worried that they will be divided into two from the middle without knowing the intentions and details of the coalition forces, so they categorically dare not take out the West Camp and can only sit and wait.

Bai Liyan had predicted that he should see the barbarian reinforcements at dusk, but he didn't want to see them until dark, which shows that the main general's adaptability here is very average, or rather, the combat power and gunpowder of the coalition army impressed him, and he overestimated the strength of the coalition army.

At four o'clock, Bailiyan quickly collected his troops, took advantage of the opportunity that the barbarian reinforcements were still ten miles away, and quickly withdrew to Xishan. It was already the middle of the night when they arrived at Xishan, and the Gongliang Army, which had been repaired and replenished, was already waiting here.

Seeing Bailiyan coming on horseback, Gongliangwen urged the horse to step forward and give a slight salute:

"Young Master Yan is happy."

"Don't dare to be it, it all depends on the courage of the soldiers, how dare Yan take the merit alone."

Su Fangyi also rode forward at this time:

"Young Master Yan, how are the casualties of our army?"

"Nearly 6,000 were killed and more than 15,000 were wounded, but Jin Xuedi said that 16,700 were killed and 10,000 were injured."

Gongliang Wen was puzzled when he heard the news:

"Why did the barbarians die so much?"

Bai Liyan sneered:

"Hehe, take advantage of its unpreparedness, send a group of men and horses, rob and kill its wounded camp, and kill as many as eight or nine thousand of its wounded soldiers, if this is not the case, its casualties will be equal to our army at most, or even more for our army."

"Oh......"

Su Fangyi and Gong Liangwen all rolled their eyes with old faces, stunned that no matter how powerful the strategy was, it was no more vicious than Bai Liyan's plan.

Roughly explained the course of the war, Bailiyan transferred all the weapons to Gongliangwen and Su Fangyi.

In this battle, more than 23,000 weapons were captured, more than 100,000 arrows were clustered, more than 4,000 weapons were lost, and a lot of gunpowder was consumed, and more than 3,000 were thrown away in total.

The Gongliang army quickly armed itself and attacked the barbarian army's northwest camp again that night, capturing a number of them.

In the afternoon of the next day, after repairing and replenishing, Bailiyan attacked the southwest camp for the second time, and the Jin Xuedi people were exhausted between the three camps. On the third day and night of the battle, the Gongliang army increased sharply from 70,000 to 100,000, and defeated the barbarian army's northwest camp in one fell swoop.

As Su Fangyi expected, the grain and grass in the camp of the Jin Xuedi people were enough for them to eat for a month, and even if all of them were captured, it would undoubtedly be a drop in the bucket for more than 300,000 people.

After repairing and replenishing overnight, the coalition army raised 100,000 troops, Gongliangwen and Bailiyan each led 50,000, went out of the northwest, walked 50 miles until they arrived at the West River, and after being defeated by the northwest camp defeated by Gongliangwen, they fled to the West camp without encountering any obstacles along the way.

The warships on the river shuttle back and forth on the river, the shape of the warship is very different from the Central Plains, it is a kind of early sail oaring warship with pointed heads, the upper stage is two or three masts, hanging four-cornered sails, and the lower stage is rowing. You can sail with the water and wind, and it is more convenient to paddle against the water and wind. However, the paddle boat is limited by the hull and cannot be built very large.

On the whole, the shipbuilding technology of the Jinxuedi people is far inferior to that of the Central Plains, because there is no combat demand, and the transportation is not developed, and the unicorn has an amazing load, which undertakes more transportation and logistics, in the early stage of the agricultural form of society, weakens the value of the transportation, and then when the production and economic operation form a systematic structure in the form of fixed logistics, it will be very difficult to change the technology of infrastructure and related fields, and the cost and input will be very high.

After Jin Xuedi's sailors discovered the coalition forces, they did not dare to stop the boats, and hundreds of ships kept coming and going on the river, and they could not see any formation and rules.

"General Gongliang, at the moment, time is pressing, our army should not stay for a long time, I see that there are not many soldiers on the barbarian warships, in my opinion, how about drawing the people who are accustomed to water in the coalition army and directly taking a raft to attack the warship at night and forcibly board the warship?"

Gongliangwen twisted his long beard and thought for a moment:

"Before, I had never fought with the Jin Xuedi people's naval army in the Central Plains, although I don't know its depth, but as far as I know, its naval army and infantry army have never had a war, I am afraid that it is just a vain name of the naval army, and I am not accustomed to water warfare at all. Although it is a bit reckless to directly board and hijack a ship, I will see that this method is feasible. ”

"Then take advantage of the darkness to cut down the wood, so that our army can build a raft pontoon bridge."

After some discussion with Gongliangwen, Bailiyan decided to cut down wood and build a raft before dark, draw the water habits of the coalition army, attack the Jin Xuedi naval army at night, and seize the warship.

If it is in the North Sea, the peach blossom water in March is as warm as spring, and the night sneak attack on the warship, diving is the best policy, and it is extremely dangerous to take a small boat or raft, which is very unprofessional.

However, thanks to the fact that the Jinxuedi people are not accustomed to water warfare, and there has been no war in their homeland for hundreds of years, the naval army is almost a vassal of the army, and they have never fought a decent water war on a large scale, and they have no experience in water warfare, so it is difficult to say that they have any combat effectiveness.

Bai Liyan even suspected that the Jin Xuedi people had transferred the navy to land before, and they had been defeated by the coalition forces, and there were probably not many real sailors on the ship, otherwise they would not be so panicked and rushed back and forth on the river, and there was not even a basic formation.
