Zhao Bing was basically satisfied with Chen Dun's comments, which shows that he did not fail to do things well as he was determined. He had been training at the grassroots level for several years, but he was in a period of instability in his thoughts, lacked calm spirit, lacked strategic deployment capabilities, and was not suitable for serving as a higher-level commander, so he still needed further training.

The reason why Zhao Bing transferred Chen Dun to him was because he was a craftable material. After all, the heights of people were different, and what he saw was naturally different. He hoped that he could learn something when he saw the ear dye around him. But he never expected that Chen Dun had an old problem and became lazy again. Instead, he felt that he had surrendered his talents and did not develop in the direction he hoped.

Ni Liang can be said to be a recognized stupid person. He has served as his guard captain since he was a military army in Jiazi Town. But at that time he was still a young man who didn't know how to lead the troops at all, but under his pressure, he bit the bullet and followed up. No one was optimistic about this honest and somewhat dull guy, but Ni Liang actually persisted and led the guards very well, and everyone from all over the world was convinced.

Later, with the continuous expansion of the guards, Ni Liang's troops were from more than 100 to more than 1,000, and thousands to thousands, and even tens of thousands of people today, he could do a good job and always command the guards. Of course, Zhao Bing's absolute trust and support were indispensable, and he also became a brave general who could lead troops alone. Today, he used him as an example to stimulate Chen Dun's self-esteem and recognized the gap.

"Do you know that Ni Liang knew that Baihu Ridge would become the target of the enemy's key attack, but why did he only send two people to help?" Zhao Bing looked at Chen Dun, who was like a little rooster in the past, and asked with a smile in his heart.

"I thought the Baihu Ridge position was small and it was difficult for large troops to deploy. It was better to strengthen firepower than to increase troops on a large scale!" Chen Dun replied with a brief thought.

"Well, you're so stupid!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"I'm not stupid at first!" Chen Dun muttered with his head down.

"Haha, only a fool will be in a hurry to prove that he is not stupid!" Zhao Bing smiled and joked.

"That's right!" Chen Dun was stunned for a moment, pointed to the battlefield and smiled, "Look, that fool is going to prove that he is not stupid!"

Zhao Bing and the others picked up the telescopes again and looked at the battlefield. At this time, the Yuan army entered the range of the artillery in a scattered formation. When the sound of their own hindrance cannons sounded, their advancement speed quickly accelerated, intending to break through this death zone. It should be said that Liu Guojie's judgment was correct. The scattered formation was one of the tactics to reduce casualties of the offensive party even in modern warfare. A large enough interval can avoid the death and injury caused by artillery fire, and the opponent's artillery lost the focus of the strike, thereby further reducing casualties.

Zhao Bing couldn't help but sigh that war, a devil who puts people in life and death, can seize human life and also bring human wisdom to the extreme. Liu Guojie changed the tactics of the group's charge in the past, which really caused trouble for his side. You must know that only less than 100 artillery guns were arranged on the two thousand meters of front line. This density could break a record if it was in modern times, but in this era, both the range of artillery guns and the power of shells were far inferior. It seemed too difficult to be so dense at such a density.

‘Boom, boom, boom…’ It is obvious that the artillery on our side is extremely unacceptable to the changes in the enemy’s charge tactics, especially for the primary artillery that is troublesome and slow to load, it is difficult for them to react quickly, and they can only passively shoot according to the pre-set elements. In this way, it really feels like a cannon hitting a mosquito. One shot can only kill several enemies around, and without waiting for your second shot to fire, the enemy has already rushed through the fire blockade line.

You should know that although a person cannot run a galloping horse, his speed of 100 meters is within an average of more than ten seconds, and his potential is further developed between life and death. As far as Zhao Bing knows, in the mountain war of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the volunteer army was fully armed and could break through the enemy's first line of defense from a lurking ground fifty meters away in just over ten seconds.

After rushing through the first artillery blockade line, the enemy immediately divided into two groups, one of which was still rushing straight to the main position, and the other turned to the right wing. Since his sight was blocked by Baihu Ridge, Zhao Bing could no longer see the battlefield situation there, so he could only focus his attention on the main battlefield. With the blocking shooting of the Weiyuan artillery that he saw, the losses caused to the attacking enemy were less than 10%. However, it was obvious that the enemy was not skilled in using this kind of scattered offensive tactics. The subsequent enemy soldiers still did not know how to avoid the shooting direction of the artillery and still broke in like a moth to the flame, which increased casualties in vain.

‘Boom boom boom…’ The rapid-fire cannons on the main position also began to fire, but Zhao Bing frowned as if he was dissatisfied. In his opinion, it was obvious that the tactical changes of his artillery commanders against the enemy were also very uncomfortable. After the enemy quickly broke through the blockade line of Weiyuan artillery, he was a little panicked. Before the enemy brigade entered the range, he could not hold back and issued a shooting order in advance. This not only reduced the killing effect, but also wasted precious time, allowing the enemy forward to rush through the second artillery blockade line at a very small price when reloading.

"My brain is half a beat slower!" What annoyed Zhao Bing was that the commander of the rapid-fire artillery battalion found that the enemy had broken through the blockade line and should have continued to shoot to block the subsequent enemy troops. However, he actually made a brainless decision, ordering to reduce the elevation angle of the artillery to chase the enemy, but in a hurry, he did not leave any advance amount, resulting in more enemy soldiers rushing over in just a few breaths. He couldn't help but curse in anger.

"Your Majesty, this is our training problem." Chen Dun did not follow Zhao Bing and said with his head down.

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Bing asked with his face turned around.

"Our training method is to strictly abide by ethics, which will solidify the officer's ideas. Once it appears, it is beyond what you learn every day, and it will inevitably be unaware of how to deal with it, resulting in panic." Chen Dun said.

"Well, it makes sense. It seems that I have emphasized the rules too much, which has caused the officers to lose their autonomy. However, under the current situation, it cannot change!" Zhao Bing thought that what he said was right, but now he has been transferred to large corps to fight. If the officer performs in the last battle, he may achieve tactical victory, but it will lead to strategic chaos, so he cannot change this method.

"Your Majesty said it well. It is better to follow the rules than to do their own things!" Fortunately, the commander of the rapid-fire artillery battalion quickly discovered his mistake, made adjustments immediately, and stabilized the blockade line. Chen Dun thought about what the little emperor said was not unreasonable and nodded.

‘Tun, connect, connect…’

"The battle is coming from the Baihu Ridge." Although the battle situation in the direction of the Baihu Ridge cannot be seen, the unique sound of the thunder gun fire can be heard, and there is no support from artillery there, the enemy's progress will be faster. Zhao Bing judges from this that the battle has begun.

"Your Majesty, I think the enemy wants to fight to the decisive battle!" Chen Dun looked towards Baihuling, but only heard the sound and did not see the person. However, he saw another enemy gathering at the entrance of the valley, and said a little uneasy.

"Oh, isn't it a bit early for them to send the cavalry?" Zhao Bing turned to the valley entrance and looked for a while and said, a cavalry heading into the valley entrance and began to line up. In his opinion, the cavalry was fast and should rush in quickly after the infantry broke through to expand the results of the battle, rather than acting as cannon fodder to attract firepower. Joining the attack now will only disrupt his own rhythm.

"I think they want to compete for me!" Chen Dun thought about it after hearing this.

"The order to send the rocket camp that once the enemy cavalry enters the battlefield, they will carry out cover shooting. They must not let them disrupt our deployment." Zhao Bing thought for a while and said, their plan was to consume the enemy's live power on the front line of building a base and launch a counterattack when the enemy was trapped. Now the enemy is in full swing, and now it is to knock out their sharpness and exhaust their last energy.

While speaking, the enemy troops that had broken through the blockade of the rapid-fire cannons had begun to gather, but did not bloom in full swing like the previous few times. Instead, they concentrated their forces at the junction of the main position on the right wing and Baihu Ridge, and launched a strong attack at the same time between the three boundary walls of the prism. After seeing this, Zhao Bing couldn't help but admire Liu Guojie's choice of breakthrough point was very tricky:

The junction of one and two parts is often the weakest part on the defense line. Everyone thinks that the other party is there, but they ignore it, and the result becomes a two-way area; both of them attack the adjacent protruding parts at the same time, making it difficult for the defense to support each other. Although the right-wing troops that are responsible for the attack will bear great pressure and casualties, local sacrifices are also worth it in order to win.

After approaching the city, the Yuan army quickly divided into several teams. The crossbowmen shot arrows on the city wall from behind, while the forwards held shields and ladders, trying to break through in the rain of bullets to stop and rush down to build a ladder. But although the wall is not high, it is not easy to get close. The shield is actually more of a comforting heart and cannot stop the close-range musket shooting. Several attacks stopped in front of the trench and filled the trench with their bodies again.

However, the correct tactics of the Yuan army still brought considerable pressure to the Song army on the city base, especially the archers pose the greatest threat to them. The low city base allows Yuan army archers to shoot directly onto the city without shooting. The battle shed built in advance seems to be useless in addition to shading the sun and rain. Moreover, the Yuan army pays great attention to cavalry and shooting, and has special crossbow troops, including many archers who pass through the sun and a hundred steps. Although they have the protection of breastplate and helmets, they still cause casualties.

However, the strict training allowed the Song army to remain busy and unconfused. Under the command of the officer, the three-stage shooting method was adopted, and the enemy was shot in turn, and the enemy who rushed to the front of the city was repelled with uninterrupted firepower, making it difficult for them to approach the city and set up ladders. Faced with the threat of crossbows, the Song army also used the thunder guns and thunder cannons to shoot under the city to kill and injure the enemy archers and reduce the pressure on the musketeers.

What Zhao Bing was even more worried about was the war in the direction of Baihuling. Although he could not see how it was progressed, he knew that it could be said that it was the weakest link on the entire defense line, especially the end position. The entire defense line was less than 100 steps. In order to connect with the city base, it could only be built on the hillside, making the position narrow and cramped, and it was difficult for a large group of people to unfold. Moreover, that section of the terrain was smooth and the attack was not conducive to defense, and it could not be supported by artillery fire. However, once it was broken, it could threaten the security of the core position and even lead to the collapse of the entire defense line.

Zhao Bing's worries were not redundant. The actual situation of the Baihuling position was indeed not good. The Yuan army generally only had iron armor, while the infantry was mostly leather armor, and only a few officers were wearing iron armor. Today's enemy troops were all wearing heavy armor, and the leather armor was also wearing iron armor. This luxurious dress only shows that they regarded this place as a breakthrough to open the entire defense line.

Facing the enemy rushing forward, the defending Song soldiers used muskets to block the attack, but the narrow position made it difficult for them to have room for maneuver and could not perform triple-split shooting. They could only use one person to be responsible for shooting, and the other two kept their firepower uninterrupted in the rear loading method. If there was a fire interval, they threw grenades to blow the enemy up. Once the shooter was killed or injured, they would be replaced by the reserve shooter immediately, and it would be a tactic of adding fuel.

When the battle was most intense, the continuous firing of the Thunder gun caused the temperature to be too high, and the shooter no longer dared to reload it, worried that the stuffed medicine bag would spontaneously ignite, so he would reimburse himself first. The lack of firepower caused the enemy to advance within twenty steps of the less than position. The defensive army even launched several counterattacks, rushed out of the position with bayonets, fighting with the enemy hand in hand, and then repelled the enemy and stabilized the defense line.

With the continuous joining of enemy reinforcements, the enemy's impact was one after another, like a wave of waves. The dead enemy corpses covered the entire hillside, but they still fought to the death. The casualties of the Song army at the front also increased with the fierce battle, and the reserve teams transferred to join the battle to try their best to defend their positions...

"Sort the cavalry brigade to the enemy's back, and immediately launch an attack after receiving the signal; order the first brigade to line up and prepare to attack!" The fierce battle continued until the time of the day. Although the enemy attacked the city many times, they failed to step into the city, but suffered huge casualties. The offensive gradually weakened. After repelling the enemy's frontal attack, Zhao Bing finally issued a counterattack order.

After receiving the order, the first brigade immediately set out from the hidden place, lined out of the city under the cover of rockets from the passage reserved on the city base, and quickly arranged a three-sided battle line ten steps apart from each other in battalions. Amid the snare drums and the commands of the officers, they advanced forward with the same steps. For a moment, the sound of clanging steps replaced the sound of guns and cannons echoing in the valley.
