Chapter 253: Dream Demon Entanglement
Han Qi knew very well that the rebels must not be allowed to rage so much, and the reason why he moved forward so confidently before was because the rebels were still operating in Baozhou City and had not expanded outward.
Now, when they have expanded outward, they cannot be left to their own devices.
One order after another, began to be issued in a steady stream, mainly against the border troops of Hebei Province, who were ordered to strictly guard the entire border area to prevent the Liao State from taking advantage of the fire to loot.
Liujia Vortex Village, the village is burning with a raging fire, to be honest, the previous battle in Miaojiazhuang made him extremely depressed, and even was beaten a little doubtful of life.
That's right, anyone who comes across a fortress, such an epoch-making fortification, will have such a feeling, personnel advantage, is no longer the key to being able to take this castle, unless there is an internal problem, otherwise, under the premise of ordinary, for the attack on the fortress, it is impossible to achieve.
The fortress may be the strongest defense in the era of cold weapons, which has been proved by the direct loss of more than 6,000 regular troops, especially the second time, more than 4,000 precious troops, which were directly killed on the fortress.
Wang Xiansong's departure was a little surprised, but under the premise of a dilemma at that time, there were already signs that he could not fight.
He agreed with Wang Xiansong to ask Wang Deyong, more to hold, Wang Deyong might give more support, but the result came down, not only did the support not go, the original elite also left.
At this time, everything was clear, the Baozhou mutiny did not achieve the previous goal, their main target of attack was Miaojiazhuang, but in the face of Miaojiazhuang's fortifications that were far stronger than they imagined, he was abandoned as an outcast.
Wei Gui didn't want to die, but he knew that he didn't have a choice, the goal was not achieved, and the family was under the control of the Wang family, what he could expect was that the Wang family could follow the agreement, as for how much this was possible, he could only resign himself to fate.
got on this thief ship and promoted the rebellion, he had no way to retreat, maybe he could choose to report everything he knew, but it was useless, not to mention that his strength was meager to skip, and he couldn't shake the foundation of the Wang family at all, even if he said it, how much evidence did he have.
said that the Wang family continued to tempt him to rebel under the condition of improving the family's status, which is not justified at all, he has no evidence, and the Wang family is very careful when he connects and trades with him, and only Wang Xiansong is the only one who shows up, and he can't get the evidence, so how can he bite.
The most important thing is that Wei Gui does not think that he can become the lucky one who escaped a series of pursuits under the big net formed by the Wang family, the power of the clan is too strong in the current period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Wang family is the leader of the power of this clan.
Even if he doesn't want to, he can only go all the way to the dark according to the requirements of the Wang family.
It was really the next battle between the Red City Village and the Zhangjia Vortex Village, which gave him confidence again, even if there were three or four thousand less elites, even if it was only a small number of strong men with the original experience, they were also down in the face of the military village of the border army.
Ordinary military villages, in the face of the rebels who had been prepared for a long time and mobilized a large number of soldiers and siege equipment, only resisted for 1 day at most, and in two days, two military villages were breached, the military fortresses were destroyed, and almost 1,500 forbidden troops were killed.
Taking the two military villages is equivalent to saying that it has crossed Baozhou and began to develop to the entire Hebei Province.
Wei Gui knew that he was heading for the point of no return, and there would be no room for sparing, if it was simply Baozhou, the cause was also factors such as military salaries, and after it was found out, there was still room for redemption, and now, there was no room for recovery.
But for the Wang family, for covering, it is very good, he is not all the troops, all sent, two military villages, but the simplest military villages, no more than 1,000 people are stationed, his army is already close to 9,000, and there are almost 4,000 heavy infantry.
This strength, relative to the peak time, this is a huge loss, but compared to the ordinary military village, that is an overwhelming majority, the general military village, without the premise of early warning, is easy to be attacked, even if there is an early warning, it is also not easy to resist.
Wei Gui concentrated almost 4,000 elite forces, which were used exclusively for foreign operations, and the rest were completely released and began to loot a little in Baozhou.
The reason why an army is an army is that discipline and restraint are the most important aspects, and when this constraint no longer exists, soldiers and bandits will be almost the same, or even more terrible than bandits.
The whole of Baozhou was sinned, and one village after another was destroyed, and one village after another was burned down.
Looking at the fires that lit one by one, Miao Yuan could even determine what kind of Zhuangzi they were and how many people there were.
Humiliation and righteous indignation, brewing in their hearts, but unfortunately useless, the power they have in their hands is too little, 800 regiments, it seems that nearly 10,000 rebels have been defeated at once, hundreds of people have been captured, nearly 4,000 sets of infantry armor have been captured, and a large amount of equipment has been captured.
However, it's useless, these are all based on the fortress, if the regimental training is placed on the same level as the rebels in the field, 300 rebels are enough to kill 800 regimental training, even if Sun Ji and others come out, it will be the same.
War is very complicated, but also very simple, in the absence of large-scale changes in weapons and equipment, for example, from cold weapons to hot weapons, the formation of a generation gap, otherwise, the fight is a series of things such as soldier quality, execution, and experience and tactics.
Counting on the regimental training that has just been trained for a few days, it can be compared with the forbidden army of the standing army, it is no longer illusory, that thing is illusory.
Although the longbow has obvious advantages, it is also a disadvantage, and it has little field ability if the rate of fire is not at the top, for example, 15 rounds per minute, or if there is a strong enough meat shield to block the front and support the longbowman to shoot non-stop.
It is precisely because of the clarity that the current status quo has been caused, looking at their hometown, they have been attacked by the rebels, and they can only watch, if it weren't for before, even if Zhao Xin paid a certain price, he would have to get the immediate family members of the regimental training to the fortress, this wave of attacks alone is enough to make the regimental training have civil strife, and the bloody regimental training may disobey the order to attack.
In fact, this is also what Wei Gui hoped, the rebel army sent by Wei Gui, at the beginning, was around Miaojiazhuang to carry out activities, and the purpose was very simple, that is, to attract the Miaojiazhuang regiment to practice.
Although the Wang family has withdrawn, as long as they attack Miaojiazhuang, they can still succeed and retreat, instead of being at the forefront as they are now, attracting the anger of the entire border army of the Northern Song Dynasty.
It's a pity that the people of Miaojiazhuang have not been fooled, maybe Miao Yuan and Zhao Xin have no experience, but Sun Ji is very clear about the current situation, especially the strength of the team training, under the premise of defense, the role it plays, and when there is no defense, it is completely different, even if it is such a strong defense as a fortress, it has encountered problems in all aspects.
The boiling public anger was extinguished by the actual situation, and Sun Ji said all the problems encountered in the war in the face of the enthusiastic group training.
Like a basin of cold water, poured on everyone's hearts, some shortcomings and mistakes in the battle were pointed out by Sun Ji to the point, and they realized that it turned out that they had made so many mistakes in the context of their great victory.
If the fortress is still the same as the previous city defense, they will not be able to defend against the enemy's attack at all, so to speak, although they have lost so many people under the city, the rebels are far stronger than them in all aspects of basic quality.
The words like revealing the short completely woke them up, these regimental training next, even if there is no combat mission under the premise, they also strengthened their training, from a real war of swords and guns, they have gained a lot, before, just did not calm down, now, Sun Ji to the point to explain their shortcomings, they also began to carry out targeted training.
Unexpectedly, but with such a benefit, Sun Ji was surprised and delighted, he understood that after this time, the forces behind him would definitely not give up, and the next test would only be stronger and stronger each time, maybe, they would have no chance of defensive warfare, so the team training would be the only force they mastered, and it would be the only one to rely on.
Sun Ji and Tuan Lian, even Miao Yuan stayed in the fortress with peace of mind, sitting and watching the turmoil around them, they could do it, but Zhao Xin couldn't do it, before, the rebels drove the people to attack the city, which gave him huge pressure, and now, burning, killing and looting in all directions, I don't know how many people died in this turmoil.
Zhao Xin couldn't convince himself, he knew the ins and outs very well, knew that the rebels and the Wang family were attracted by him, if he didn't come to Baozhou, without him coming to Miaojiazhuang, Baozhou would still be the same as before, calm border military state, and the people here will always live and work in peace and contentment, until the Liao State was replaced by the Jin State, and finally the shame of Jingkang broke out.
Although fate is still unavoidable, this generation will not experience the pain of war.
It is precisely because of his arrival, his identity, is the culprit of all this, this is just the beginning, in the future, avoiding the canal interception, ushering in the Baozhou mutiny, avoiding the Baozhou mutiny, what will it cause, Miao Yuan told the village one by one, countless blood and tears told him that the killing and conspiracy will not stop, as long as he is still in his current position, then these conspiracies and dangers will become more serious.
Zhao Xin also wanted to convince himself that it was not his fault, this was all a conspiracy of those conspirators who wanted to occupy this position, but the bloody lives made him unable to let go, his arrival was to change the fate of the Northern Song Dynasty, not to create a tragic fate, if this knot could not be untied, maybe more innocent people would die, is there no way to get the best of both worlds?
This matter pressed on Zhao Xin's heart like a dream demon, and he couldn't let go of it, and he even talked a lot.
