- The narrowest section of the river, about two miles long, naturally became the core of the struggle between the two sides.
A large number of peasants carried soil and stones on their backs, hid behind the small shield car, poured the soil and stones into the river, and pushed forward bit by bit.
The firecrackers can't penetrate shield vehicles covered with cotton armor, leather, and iron sheets, so they can only choose to bombard them with artillery. After the shield chariot is smashed, and then a volley of firecrackers is fired, the peasants can be defeated across the river.
"Again!"
? Li Dingguo ordered a replacement team of civilian husbands to go forward, and the fleeing civilian husbands were temporarily pulled back to rest.
?Continuous bombardment, continuous salvo, continuous rout, and continuous advancement.
Fill the river with soil bit by bit!
Other river sections are still trying to build floating bridges, but it is almost impossible to complete the task. On the other side of each bridge point, only a small number of soldiers are stationed, and the pontoon bridge can be destroyed at a critical moment.
Especially in the case of tens of thousands of enemies, the grenadiers are not enough, and the pikemen also come to guest.
Anyway, the ammunition stockpile is sufficient, and when the enemy pontoon bridge reaches the shore, immediately throw tens of thousands of enemies on the pontoon bridge. After a while of bombing, let the civilian husband go down the river to demolish the pontoon bridge, and our firecrackers provide fire cover.
In the end, all the nearby bamboo forests were cut down.
Thirty thousand people in Huoqiu County were conscripted to be husbands. Not only helped demolish the pontoon bridge, but also built earthen walls along the river bank in the area where Li Dingguo filled the river.
The earthen walls on the banks are similar to river embankments. Even if Li Dingguo filled the river and led the army to rush over, the Datong soldiers could still stand on the earthen walls and attack the enemies killed on the other side.
? If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it, and it is impossible to guard against it.
Another seven days later, Li Dingguo's cousin Ma Siliang led 6,000 cavalry and successfully crossed the river 30 miles away from the battle between the two sides. The terrain there is extremely complicated, and the Shi River divides into three tributaries, each of which is relatively narrow.
Due to drought and low water, the shallowest tributary can only submerge the back of a horse.
Ma Silian's 6,000 cavalry quietly crossed the main river overnight, and then crossed three tributaries.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The Datong army stationed in that area quickly came to form a formation to shoot, Ma Siliang ignored it, lost more than 200 cavalry and horses, and fled away with the rest of the cavalry.
Nearly 6,000 enemy cavalry came to the rear villages and towns of the Datong Army, waiting for an opportunity to cooperate with the main battlefield to fight.
But the river network is too complicated. If they want to get close to the main battlefield, they have to cross a river again It is an artificial canal built by the gentry of Ming Dynasty. It is not very wide, but it is about ten meters long. Moreover, there are a large number of wheat fields and some rice fields on both sides of the canal, which are not very conducive to the march of cavalry.
Under the command of Lu Xiangguan and Chen Tangong, there were only a thousand dragoons left, and they were sent to entangle Ma Silang's six thousand cavalry.
A large amount of earing wheat was trampled by the cavalry on both sides. Huoqiu County, which was supposed to have a good harvest, is destined to reduce its production this year, not only because of the stampede, but also because farmers cannot take good care of their crops after the outbreak of war.
The cavalry of both sides circled around there, and no one could eat the other.
Although Lu Xiangguan and Chen Tangong had few cavalry, they retreated in case of danger, and could call their own infantry for support at any time.
At this moment, Li Dingguo divided his troops across the river.
Ainengqi led 30,000 infantry and a large number of civilians, moved 20 miles upstream, and tried to cross the river under the cover of the cavalry who had crossed the river.
Zhang Tieniu rushed over to intercept, but if he wanted to occupy the river bank position, he had to drive the opponent's cavalry away first.
6500 regular soldiers and 1200 dragoons confronted 6000 enemy cavalry by the river.
The main battlefield is still filling the river, and the pontoon bridge is still being built further downstream. But in fact, Li Dingguo had already secretly led 10,000 elites to go around the upper reaches and break through with all his strength, leaving an empty camp on the other side of the river in the main battlefield.
A few days ago, when the cavalry failed to smuggle across the country, they mobilized too many troops of the Datong Army through repeated trials and wanderings. Several river courses for filling the river and building pontoon bridges are also restraining and mobilizing the troops of the Datong Army, and now they have finally deceived the main force of the Datong Army.
On the other side of the river, the sentry cavalry of the Datong Army sent from Gushi County were suddenly driven away by a large number of cavalry from Li Dingguo.
Although the sentry cavalry of the Datong Army didn't know what the situation was, they already realized that something was wrong. They fled a few miles upstream, and quickly crossed the river in a small boat to light the beacon to report.
Seeing the beacon fire, Fei Ruhe immediately led his troops to support, and handed over the originally planned main battlefield to Huang Shun for defense
Lu Xiangguan and Chen Tangong each led 600 dragoons and fired guns at Ma Silang's cavalry on the periphery.
One after another, more than two hundred of Ma Silang's cavalry were shot down. But Ma Siliang did not dare to retreat, so he had to cover the troops crossing the river and fight back.sp; 1,200 dragoons, and finally turned into cavalry for real. They kept chasing and slashing with their waist knives, and they chased and killed more than 8,000 enemy troops.
After Zhang Tieniu's main force regrouped, he immediately stood in formation on the river bank.
The firecrackers stood by the river, aiming at the pontoon bridge and shooting from a long distance. Melee soldiers protect the perimeter to prevent enemy cavalry from charging.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Due to the long shooting distance, not many enemy troops on the pontoon bridge were hit.
But their friendly infantry who had already crossed the river broke up, and they were still in a state of half-crossing. After being shot, they ran back along the pontoon bridge in fright.
The pontoon bridge was narrow and swaying, and a large number of enemy troops fell into the river amidst confusion and pushing.
There are several pontoon bridges in the distance. Although they were not shot, they ran back in fright, and a large number of soldiers were also squeezed into the river.
There are a lot of landlubbers in the north, and the number of drowned enemy troops far exceeds those killed by the Datong army.
At this time Li Dingguo finally came with 10,000 elites, and Fei Ruhe's reinforcements were still a mile away.
However, what Fei Ruhe saw was a good show, while Li Dingguo witnessed a tragedy.
In fact, as long as Ainengqi's river-crossing troops can persist on the bank for another half an hour, they will be able to protect the entire army from crossing the river, and Li Dingguo's elite reinforcements will also be able to cross the river.
But he only lasted ten minutes!
Ainengqi was shot in the arm and was caught by Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry. After he became a prisoner, he still felt confused. Why did his tens of thousands of troops charge and collapse?
In this battle of crossing the river, Li Dingguo lost more than 18,000 infantry.
Li Dingguo calculated everything, divided his troops to fill rivers, build bridges, let cavalry march back and forth to smuggle across, successfully mobilized the troops of Fei Ruhe, Zhang Tieniu, and Huang Shun, and made the three of them dizzy. In the end, he succeeded in finding an opportunity to cross the river, but he was still hit by half-crossing.
It's not that there is a problem with the command. Li Dingguo's command ability can beat Fei Ruhe and other generals of the Datong Army.
Tactical crushing, army quality crushing!
Begging for a monthly ticket shamelessly, fell out of the top ten.
