Chapter 1547

Therefore, the subsequent military deployment became much simpler. Wang Yang would personally lead two thousand muslan cavalry to harass the Qing army in the Beiliaohe River and restrain the Heqing army and Tuliuyu troops to prevent them from joining the Jin Su army.

Yang Shouyue led two thousand musketeers to quietly leave the Heqing Army's sphere of influence and lurk in the Wild Bison Mountains. If the Jin Su army launches a large-scale attack on the army led by the veteran general Zhe Kexing.

Then the two thousand elite musketeers under Yang Shouyue's command will copy the enemy's side and rear and give them a fatal blow.

"We have collected 35,000 horses now. I announce that each of the soldiers is responsible for five horses. As for the additional 15,000 horses, well, let me leave it to you General Yang. You will lead your army to the Bison Mountains early tomorrow morning. There are many valleys in that area. You can find a place to place these extra horses first..."

"As for our two thousand men, we will set off north early tomorrow morning, and each hundred cavalry will be one army, harassing the Heqing army and the Tuliuyu tribe, so that they will be attacked from all sides, and cannot take care of each other at the head and tail."

After the military meeting, all the generals quickly started to eat hot food, got into their respective military tents and fell asleep.

The next morning, the troops were divided into two groups and began a new journey.

#####

"General, a large number of Northern Liao scout cavalry were discovered in the south, and it was still forty or fifty miles away from our army..."

"Where is the main force of the Liao army?"

"We were worried about alerting the snake, so we just watched from a distance and reported to the general." The detective cavalry of the Song Dynasty raised the telescope on the chest.

This is the advantage that the Song Dynasty's military equipment was ahead of the enemy, and it can often discover the enemy's movements in advance outside the enemy's sight.

"Searching again, you must understand the movements of the enemy." Zhe Kexing nodded and gave instructions to the reconnaissance cavalry, turned around, looked at the army that had spread for several miles behind him, and looked at the surrounding terrain with some anxiety.

Although it is also below the Bison Mountains, the terrain here is too smooth and there is no danger to guard around it. It is impossible to defend it with the right place. After someone took a look at the map, Zhe Kexing shouted immediately.

"The command of the entire army to accelerate, continue to move forward, and travel ten miles quickly, we will arrive in this area to garrison to resist the invading enemies."

As the messengers galloped and shouted loudly, the army began to accelerate, and the soldiers all extended a helping hand to help the imperial artillerymen push the horses and push the heavy artillery to the road.

Ten miles away, finally arrived within half an hour. Seeing the concave seven-shaped terrain here, Zhe Kexing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The order was issued to allow the army to gather and line up to the south. The north and east sides of the place were relatively steep hills, which were not conducive to the advancement of the people and even more impossible to advance. The slope of the west side seemed very smooth. Therefore, the army only needed to back the north slope to defend against the enemies on the west and south side as much as possible.

This also makes it difficult for the enemy to send large troops to double-team. Therefore, the main force of the enemy can only force the Song army from two directions.

Just as the Song army began to gather in panting, smoke and dust emerged from the south, east, and west.

The rumbling sound of hooves and the flying flags were all demonstrating to the Song army, and the Northern Liao army had arrived.

"There are at least 15,600 troops..." Zhe Kexing stroked his long gray beard, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the Liao army that was slowly advancing.

"It seems that the chief general of the Liao army understands very well that the power of the Yuanyou divine cannon of the Song Dynasty. The more concentrated the energy, the greater the lethality." Ning Da looked at the Liao army that was slowly approaching from three directions but did not gather together, and couldn't help but sigh with regret.

"General Ning, I only command the infantry and cavalry operations. As for the command of artillery, I don't know much about it. Next, I need to rely on you."

"Don't worry, the old general and the imperial artillery will definitely not disappoint the general and our elite Western Army." Ning Da, the deputy commander of the imperial artillery, bowed respectfully to Zhe Kexing, and turned around to look at his subordinates.

"Zhao Zheng, you lead thirty artillery to retreat to the rear to arrange positions and be responsible for long-range fire strikes. Chen Zheng, you lead thirty artillery to be responsible for the west position, and Ning Mou is responsible for the battlefield in the south."

As the military orders were issued one by one, the soldiers did not even have time to breathe, and they began to set up formations again. The two thousand cavalry were all arranged to the west by Zhe Kexing, while the south was placed with three thousand infantrymen.

Although some soldiers raised objections, believing that the infantry and cavalry should be divided equally so that the Liao army could be blocked to the greatest extent. However, Zhe Kexing, who has always been good at accepting words, came up with a letter from the morning of this morning.

It was from the news sent by Yang Shouyue, deputy commander of the Muslim Cavalry, who had already led two thousand muslim cavalry to the west of the Buffalo Mountains, lurking in a valley no more than thirty miles away from the Song army.

As long as the war is together, after Yang Shouyue's reconnaissance cavalry scattered in this area finds out, in less than half an hour, two thousand musketeers will appear behind these Northern Liao army, and use their muskets that are far beyond the range of the crossbow to poke the chrysanthemums of the Northern Liao army.

At that time, the Liao army would inevitably be in chaos, and the two thousand cavalry gathered together would naturally be easier to form a strong and powerful fist, giving the enemy a fatal blow.

"Hurry, hurry up, brothers, hurry up and place your artillery, pay attention to the placement of gunpowder and shells. Brothers of the Western Army, please give up the gap so that the imperial artillery can have enough operating space..."

The artillery was evenly arranged in a row according to the width of the required defense surface. The gunners opened the boxes and transported the shells marked as shotguns to the next to the cannon.

At this time, the commander began to issue military orders to the gunmen who were arranged in a row, which group was the first group to open fire, which group was the second group, and which group was the third group.

In this way, the power of these artillery can be maximized, and at the same time, the continuous artillery shooting can be maintained, making it difficult for the enemy to advance forward through the gap between the artillery's stop.

The thirty artillery located behind the army were placed next to the thirty artillery guns. However, the Northern Liao army is still in the moving stage, so these thirty artillery are still adjusting the angle in order to launch a cover artillery bombardment on the enemy's gathering areas at the right time.

"General, don't we need to join forces before attacking?" Xiao Pingshun, the head of the B-Secretary tribe, patted the horse's head with some anxiety, comforted the horse's seat, and looked towards the east with some nervousness.

Around him was a general from the Jin Su army. The general shook his head and spoke out to appease the head of the Yi tribe who was not much bolder.
