88. A thousand mistakes


The sun had risen high, illuminating the Loess Plateau in gold, and the valley surrounded by the plateau was quiet, but it was full of smoke and smoke, exuding a pungent smell of sulfur saltpeter.Niu Fangliang was not willing to fail.10,000 Dashun elite soldiers actually let a little-known stable thousand households block the valley, and they can't take a step forward and say something nice, but how can he explain to He Jin that this is too embarrassing, no matter what the price is, he must destroy the opponent, capture Wang Shuo alive, and take Anding.Actually, Wang Shuo's side is not having a good time.After all, the quality of the muskets transformed by the bird guns was unreliable, and after a morning of fire, there were already more than a dozen bursts, and they also injured the musketeers who were shooting.It is not easy to train a musketeer, let him learn to shoot, but also to shoot accurately, the key is that the enemy is alive, will not stand there and let you fight, you have to let the musketeer learn to shoot moving targets, which requires a lot of bullets to train.Stability is poor in resources, and it takes a lot of effort to build these munitions.Now, it's too late to think about that.If the opponent continues to charge like this in the next step, more and more muskets will be damaged.After a morning of fighting, there will definitely be a lot of undamaged muskets that have problems or are in the process of problems, and when cast, the damage rate will increase exponentially, and it will soon be impossible to maintain continuous fire.In that case, the Shun army will rush up, and the fortress will not be able to hold it.He secretly sent his own soldiers to convey the retreat plan he had already thought of to the principals scattered in various places, as long as he saw the banner on the highest mountain in Shilipu falling, the principals would organize his subordinates to retreat in accordance with the orders he conveyed, in the order prescribed in advance, and the time and order must not be confused.After noon, the war drums on the opposite side sounded again.The valley in the distance was filled with dust, and gradually, the shadow of the Shun army appeared in the dust, and the sound of neat footsteps followed, and the attack of the Shun army began again.Looking at the approaching Shunjun brigade, Wang Shuo's face was heavy, and he ordered a personal soldier next to him to go to the big flag on the mountain, as long as he saw the flag waving in his hand, he would immediately put down the big flag and come back.The Fifth Battalion of the Left is worthy of being the elite soldiers trained by He Jin.In the morning, he failed and suffered heavy losses, but in the afternoon he was still in good spirits, the queue was neat, and the power was amazing.As they approached the range of the muskets, the pace of the Shun army suddenly slowed down, and then they stopped, and the drums of war stopped.Wang Shuo watched from the hillside, frowning and thinking about what the other party had come up with to deal with him.There was a cup of tea, and the Shun army stood there motionless, and the battlefield became eerie and quiet.Suddenly, the war drums in the Shun army camp sounded again, and the standing Shun army suddenly shouted loudly and rushed towards the barrier quickly.Muskets rang out immediately afterward, and people in the front row of the Shun army fell.The Shun army quickly ran backwards, and soon got out of range of the muskets, and the ammunition fired by the second group of musketeers in the ramparts was almost empty.The Shun army relined in a safe place, and as the drums of war sounded again, they shouted again to storm the barrier.This time, the Shun army quickly retreated to the rear when they heard the gunshots.After repeating this several times, Wang Shuo wondered, what is the enemy's method is to consume his ammunition, he asked his own soldiers to send an order to Hakesh, put the enemy within one hundred and twenty paces and then open fire.He didn't feel sorry for the ammunition, he was worried that if he kept emptying his gun like this, the ammunition would not be consumed, and his musket would be damaged, and then there would really be only one way to retreat.The Shun army still heard the gunshots and immediately turned around and ran.Although the losses were greater when the enemy was closer, the muskets were constantly damaged, and it would not be long before they could not fire continuously.In case the enemy sees the flaw and no longer runs back, but charges with all his might, and the barrier is likely to fall, then it will be passive.It's better to quietly withdraw the cavalry on the mountain, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and rush along the canyon to kill, maybe the enemy won't dare to play like this, Wang Shuo couldn't help but think.The charging enemy army was only more than 3,000 people at most, and the large army did not all attack.In the event of an enemy ambush in the depths of the valley, the cavalry would be in danger.But this is not the way to go.Wang Shuo was in a dilemma, and finally decided to take the risk of using cavalry to shock the enemy army and change the current unfavorable situation.Just as the herald was about to give the order, the shouts of killing on the mountain started again, and the enemy army began to attack the mountain.At the foot of the mountain on both sides, a large number of soldiers appeared, looking for the way up the mountain.It seems that the cavalry could not be mobilized.At this moment, the pro-soldiers on the side pointed to the direction of the Guanchuan River and shouted loudly to him.Wang Shuo looked in the direction of his soldiers' fingers, and saw that in the Guanchuan River in the distance, dozens of rafts were standing on the Shun army, and they were rushing downstream along the river.At this noon truce, these men set up dozens of sheepskin rafts, each with a dozen soldiers on them, trying to quickly rush through the barrier along the fast-flowing Guanchuan River.Bad, I even ignored this Guanchuan River Wang Shuo couldn't help but be in a hurry If the enemy army went down the river, crossed the barrier, and attacked the musket battalion of Hakesh from the rear, the consequences would be unimaginable:
