"You're still too young.These five new armies were all recruited from Shanxi, and the commanders were all generals of the imperial court, and they had no intersection with the Taiping army.The veteran troops in the Huaxing Army were more or less involved in the Taiping Army.Who should be used, what should not be used, the handsome belly is like a mirror. ”Zheng Dahai raised a bowl and drank indulgently, drank happily and nodded a few words to this little brother."
I see, this art of employing people is indeed a science.But we just need to fight a good war, and soldiers still need to speak with military merit. ”Wu Xuming chuckled lightly and drank with Zheng Dahai until midnight before falling asleep.It's really high-spirited and ambitious.At the third watch, Jiang Feng whimpered.The Huaxing Army's barracks fell silent, and the burning bonfire gradually dimmed.Ten miles away from Qingxi Town, the mountains and forests are crowded.All of them were holding bright swords, shining in the moonlight with a terrifying cold light."
Marshal, the situation has been clarified, and the Huaxing Army is indeed still in Qingxi Town."
Several men dressed in black came out of the darkness and whispered to a young man in front of them."
God help me, my eldest brother is right.The Huaxing Army is indeed a new recruit, and they don't even know about setting up a ranger outpost around. ”That young man was none other than Lai Yuchang, who had fled in Qingxi Town.After he withdrew to Fuling with more than 3,000 men, he waited for a day and did not hear a single cannon.Lai Yuxin's commanders of the three-way army were all summoned, he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he knew the strategy of the Huaxing army step by step.This strategy is steady, but not flexible.Judging from the situation, this Huaxing army, which entered Sichuan in advance, was obviously inexperienced, and it did not even have the courage to pursue the victory.Now the river has been completely controlled by the Huaxing army, and Fuling City is also a turtle in the urn.As soon as the warships of the Huaxing Army arrived, the city gate would inevitably be easily breached.Lai Yuxin didn't want to give up so easily, so he mobilized his soldiers and horses before the night came, preparing to attack and encircle the Huaxing army.Now there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Fuling City, plus more than 60,000 soldiers and horses in Changshou County and Nanchuan County, it is more than enough to clean up this Huaxing army.As long as they can't gain a firm foothold in Sichuan, then there will be no place for the follow-up troops to stay.The longer the battle line is stretched, the more beneficial it will be to the defense of Fuling City.Lai Yuchang made meritorious service and was arranged to be the striker of the sneak attack.Lai Yuxin commanded the rest of the two armies to encircle and launch an attack after dawn.You must know that at night in ancient times, there was no light at all except moonlight.At night it is not suitable for large-scale operations at all, so it is necessary to first encircle and attack after dawn.After Lai Yuchang heard the spies' report, he was immediately full of confidence.The range of vision at night is not far away, and it is most suitable for the battle of cold weapons, and the Huaxing Army is foreign guns, no matter how powerful they are, it is useless to see people."
Be careful with Lao Tzu, don't expose your traces.If the battle is won, each person will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. ”Lai Yuchang whispered an order to the soldiers behind him, and soon his words were conveyed.All the soldiers were gearing up, secretly clenched their broadswords, and followed Lai Yuchang to the camp of the Huaxing Army.The camp of the Huaxing army is located on the bank of the river, with the Yangtze River at its back, and there is an open land 100 meters wide on three sides, and a raised hill is 100 meters away.Chongqing is known as a mountain city, and it took a lot of effort to find such an open land.Lai Yuchang's more than 3,000 people got closer and closer, and under the cover of night, they had already touched the top of the hill in the open field.The camp of the Huaxing Army was set up with neat tents, except for the patrolmen who walked around from time to time, the whole camp was silent.At the fourth watch, dawn first appeared.When the sky was still gray, Lai Yuchang finally sounded the horn of impact."
Kill, kill, kill" The camp of the Huaxing Army was suddenly surrounded by a circle of firelight, and shouts rang out, like an entrenched fire dragon, shrinking sharply."
One hundred meters, ninety meters, eighty meters" Lai Yuchang kept estimating the distance in his heart, and saw that he was about to reach the range of the bow and arrow.The more than 3,000 people of the Taiping army have all drawn their bows and arrows.The fire oil on his shoulder has been ignited, and he is about to succeed in the sneak attack."
Knock, knock, knock" Suddenly a muffled thunder burst in the night sky, sending out sky-high flames, illuminating the entire river bank."
How is this possible" A loud bang also sounded in Lai Yuchang's ears, and a powerful air current rushed towards him, directly knocking him to the ground."
There are ghosts, there are ghosts, run" I don't know who shouted, and the more than 3,000 people who were impacted by the Taiping army all turned around and ran back."
Seventy meters, only ten meters."
Lai Yuchang's heart is as unwilling as a cat's claw, as long as he rushes forward ten meters, he can completely reach the effective range of the bow and arrow.However, at this 70-meter place, an explosion occurred from an unknown place, and half of the more than 3,000 people were killed in an instant."
Woo, woo, woo, woo" At this time, the barracks of the Huaxing Army also remembered a burst of horn whining."
Marshal, why are you still stunned, let's withdraw first."
Zhang Dabiao finally found Lai Yuchang in the chaos, and as soon as he picked him up, he fled to the back."
Prepare, shoot" The Huaxing army was already lined up in formation at this time, Wu Xuming shouted, and the herald sounded the horn of battle."
Bang, bang, bang, bang."
Bursts of gunfire instantly rang out like firecrackers, and the flames drawn by the bullets were like lines of fire, which were very beautiful in the night sky.But the Taiping army saw death coming, because they fled in such a hurry that they forgot to extinguish the torch in their hand.Although it was ten meters away, in the night sky, the torch was unusually dazzling.Instead, it became a live target for the Huaxing army, and after every gunshot, almost a torch was extinguished."
Throw away the torches, throw the torches and get down, get down."
Although Lai Yuchang is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is not a fool and sees the problem at a glance.hurriedly shouted, stretched out his leg and tripped Zhang Dabiao, and fell to the ground.Immediately after that, two or three bullets whistled past my ears, hitting the ground and splashing up bursts of dust.Soon, all the torches were extinguished.Everything returned to darkness, and the gunfire gradually fell silent.Lai Yuchang lay on the ground, and he didn't dare to come out.When I reached out and touched my pants, I was scared out of my urine.If it weren't for his quick reaction, I'm afraid I would have become a ghost under the gun now."
Marshal, what the hell happened just now, why did it suddenly explode" Zhang Dabiao turned his head sideways and asked softly, his face covered with cold sweat."
It seems that it is a new weapon of the Huaxing Army, and we seem to have triggered it on the mechanism, and it exploded."
Lai Yuchang followed his eldest brother to fight in the south and the north, but he had some insight."
No wonder they're so calm that they don't even have a sentry.What should I do now, I can't lie here and wait to die. ”Zhang Dabiao secretly sighed, and it took a long time for his body to stop shaking."
Don't worry, now that Huaxing Army doesn't know the situation, it will definitely not take the initiative to attack.The sky is about to dawn, and our large forces are about to attack. ”Lai Yuchang relieved Zhang Dabiao, turned sideways and looked at the sky, and a glimmer of light had faintly appeared in the east.Huaxing Army Camp "Brother Zheng, you really guessed it, the Taiping Army really had the courage to come and attack."
Wu Xuming's heart secretly pinched a cold sweat, if he hadn't heeded Zheng Dahai's reminder and planted a mine seventy meters away, it was really possible to be attacked by the Taiping army tonight."
This is called being prepared, in fact, I never thought that the Taiping army would dare to take the initiative to attack.But even if they succeed, we won't be able to break up. ”Zheng Dahai stood aside, looking at the night in front of him, and his heart was full of contempt for the Taiping Army.Their tactics were outdated, a full century away from the Huaxing Army."
But this also reminded me that no matter where I am stationed in the future, I will have to send additional secret posts within a radius of dozens of miles.Otherwise, it will be difficult to resist being attacked by someone for a while. ”Wu Xuming summed up the experience seriously, and there was still a trace of fear on his face."
I guess they'll have the next move, and you get Bing Yong ready to defend right away.I will now fleet and plan in the middle of the river. ”Zheng Dahai nodded, patted Wu Xuming's shoulder, turned around and returned to the ship.Wu Xuming echoed and called the deputy division commander to arrange for it.Let the soldiers dig trenches and set up fences, ready for battle.Just after the fourth watch, the gray sky began to gradually clear, but the visibility was only more than ten meters away.Outside the camp, the sound of drums suddenly came from nowhere, from far and near, "dong dong dong" sounded from all directions."
Marshal, it's the big army coming, it's the big team coming," Zhang Dabiao was so excited that he almost shouted."
Damn, I'll let Hua Xingjun know later.If you don't kill them all, it's really hard to understand the wretched spirit in the master's heart. ”Lai Yuchang scolded fiercely, covered his nose tightly, and the urine and commotion all over his body rushed to the door.The sky finally turned white, and Wu Xuming finally saw the situation in front of him clearly.Seventy meters away, there were thousands of corpses.Suddenly, there was a roar.On the mountains in front of you, flags are flying all over the mountains.The Huaxing army was completely wrapped in a semicircle, and behind it was the rolling Yangtze River.A person stood on the high ground hundreds of meters away, holding a telescope and happily looking at the camp of the Huaxing Army."
Grandma, I've finally surrounded you to see where you are going today."
That person was Lai Yuxin, who gathered his troops and horses last night and marched all night in the dark to complete the siege of Huaxing's army.Wu Xuming, who was on the opposite side of the "Preparation", calmly pulled out his knife and shouted at the Taiping Army.The position of the Huaxing army was instantly filled with the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun, and the air already smelled a smell of gunsmoke."
Big brother, why did you come" Lai Yuchang and Zhang Dabiao crawled forward, and finally climbed out of the pile of corpses, and when they saw Lai Yuxin, they complained with a sad face."
Needless to say, big brother will avenge you and your brothers now."
Lai Yuxin patted him on the shoulder with a firm expression, raised his arms and shouted on the battlefield, "Kill, kill, kill, kill." ”Immediately, all the Taiping soldiers followed and raised their banners and shouted.The shouts of killing were all in one piece, and the momentum was majestic, reaching straight into the sky
