"Brother Wei, why do I think you are fighting more and more like a Qing demon?" After the military meeting discussed the strategy of fighting the Qing army outside the city the next day, Lin Fengxiang said privately to Wei Ze.

Wei Ze was stunned for a moment, Lin Fengxiang's tone was a little puzzled, a little surprised, and a trace of blame, but he didn't feel malice. Since he couldn't figure out Lin Fengxiang's thoughts, Wei Ze simply asked directly: "Brother Lin, why do you say this?" ”

"I listened to Brother Wei and the other brothers planning strategies, not to attack on the side, to ambush, not to catch the Qing army off guard, but to line up and fight hard with the Qing army, which is the same as the Qing demon." Lin Fengxiang spoke very bluntly.

After listening to this very pertinent evaluation, Weser was speechless for a while. The so-called bystander is clear, Wei Ze feels that what Lin Fengxiang said is very right. When attacking the Qing army's grain road half a year ago, Wei Ze still used close combat, surprise attacks, and flank attacks as the main means of combat. As Weeser implemented military and cultural education throughout the army, the size of the army became larger and larger. There are fewer and fewer battles with elite troops at the heart of the battle. Wielding the superiority of troops, wielding the firepower advantage obtained after training, engaging head-on through guò, and smashing the enemy's army more and more combat modes.

"Brother Lin, do you think there's anything wrong with this?" Weeser asked.

Lin Fengxiang said bluntly, "It's too slow to run in such a war!" If the king of the east had led the troops, so many people would have been divided into several lines of soldiers and horses, and they would attack separately, so that the demons could not touch the north and south. Brother Wei always comes and goes like this, and he always feels that it is too big. Brother Wei is brave and good at fighting, I have seen you win a big victory every time you send troops, and you have killed three or four thousand Qing demons to say the least. If you can destroy a clear demon every time, there is nothing wrong with doing so. It's just that this way of fighting, if the Qing Demon is not defeated, but entangled with the Wei brothers, and the rest of the Qing Demon is besieged everywhere, this battle will not be good. ”

This is very reasonable, and Weser agrees with it. After settling down and resting with Lin Fengxiang, Wei Ze summoned the generals to tell everyone about Lin Fengxiang's construction. When Wei Changrong and Zhang Yingchen were still pondering, Hu Chenghe had already retorted, "Prime Minister, what Lin Fengxiang said looks right, but Dongwang's subordinates are all old brothers in Guangxi, and they have been fighting for more than a year, which one is not elite." Among my subordinates are brothers who have only been in the team for less than two months. Send them to the king of the east to fight, but I am afraid that the king of the east will not dare to use them with confidence. But these brothers have been able to go to the battlefield and fight tough battles with us. If it weren't for the array, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to fight as well as the Qing Demon. If they train for another half a year, these brothers will definitely not be worse than the old brothers in Guangxi. ”

This was said quite impulsively, not only negating Lin Fengxiang, but also being obviously dissatisfied with Wei Ze's indecision. Wei Ze also felt that he was really thinking too much, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed at this time. The system of the army was set by Wei Ze, and just listening to Lin Fengxiang's words made Wei Ze a little shaken, which is indeed a big problem.

At this time, Wei Changrong started a round, "The brothers who followed the prime minister first were so elite, I think we all know it ourselves." The prime minister is a little anxious, which is also human nature. And I think Lin Fengxiang is right, at this time, I really can't spend it here anymore. Since the Qing Demon has already sent troops to fight Guan Yang, it is not impossible to send people later. ”

Hearing Wei Changrong say this, the brothers also nodded yes. This is actually the same as fighting in the countryside, if the other party has a group of people who are quite capable of fighting outside, most of the strong and powerful people in most places will choose not to fight with the enemy brigade first, but send a brigade that is not bad in number and combat ability, and solve the small group of people first.

Wei Ze made sure again: "Tomorrow we will fight according to the original plan, as long as we defeat that Qing Demon." After the battle, the army was immediately withdrawn, and the main road to Jianghua was joined by Yongming and Luo Gang. If the Qing demon is not easy to fight, then simply bring only the baggage that is easy to carry, and we will take the mountain road. In short, there can be no more love and fighting. ”

After a good night's rest, the troops began to prepare for retreat after breakfast. The Qing army on the opposite side camped more than ten miles away from Guanyang, and when they came out of the camp to Guanyang, it would be noon. Sure enough, at almost noon, the Qing army appeared in the sight of the lookout post.

"While the Qing army is not firmly established, we will send troops to rush at them!" Lin Fengxiang built yì road.

Wei Ze's military plan was to prepare to line up the array and deal with the Qing army on the opposite side with one blow. Therefore, only a small number of troops were prepared to be sent on the two flanks, so that the Qing army would not have a chance to sneak attack, and second, to force the Qing army to adopt a frontal combat posture. But after listening to Lin Fengxiang's Jianyì, Wei Ze couldn't help but feel a little moved. After all, movement warfare, guerrilla warfare, this is the tactic he is most familiar with, and the great army of those years relied on such tactics to win countless battles.

After this hesitation, Wei Ze realized that he was shaken again. He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Brother Lin, I just want to put the Qing army in front of the county seat and beat them hard." ”

Wei Ze is the coach after all, and Lin Fengxiang can't force Wei Ze to do anything. He shook his head slightly, and stopped talking.

Soon, at the sound of the horn, Wei Ze's troops, except for Guanyang City, opened a formation against the Qing army three or four miles apart on a relatively flat terrain.

Jiang Zhongyuan didn't expect these Taiping troops to fight so aggressively, most of the battles between the Taiping army and the Qing army were to lure the enemy, ambush, and surprise attack, and there were very few such frontal battles. Therefore, Jiang Zhongyuan also made targeted arrangements in response to his previous experience. The current situation has made some of the plans that Jiang Zhongyuan originally thought of come to naught.

However, these accidents not only did not make Jiang Zhongyuan mess up, but made him feel that the opportunity to win had come. After all, the Qing army is an official army, and it will not suffer losses in guns, and nearly 2,000 Chu Yong are all brought out by Jiang Zhongyuan, and their battles are by no means under the Taiping army. Thinking of this, Jiang Zhongyuan also ordered the Qing army to line up and prepare for a frontal attack.

Carefully observing the formation of the Taiping Army on the opposite side, Jiang Zhongyuan's troops of the Taiping Army were extremely neat, and each combat unit was a team of 100 people. After the long row was laid out, the back arrangement was not visible. This is very different from the Qing army, which generally has two or three hundred people as a unit, so the troops cannot discharge a very beautiful phalanx.

However, he couldn't think about it so much, Jiang Zhongyuan ordered the artillery of the rear team to push to the front line and start firing at the troops of the Taiping army. But before Jiang Zhongyuan's artillerymen could carry the artillery to the front line, there were already bursts of gunpowder smoke at the front of the Taiping army's front, and the shells were whistling towards Jiang Zhongyuan's array.

Because it was a fast march, Jiang Zhongyuan naturally couldn't carry thousands of catties of cannons, and six or seven hundred catties of cannons couldn't be carried. All he brought with him were small cannons of dozens of catties and more than 100 catties, and it was impossible for such cannons to shoot out for three miles. However, the artillery of the Taiping army on the opposite side did not look very large, but the range was extremely long, and the shells flew over three miles in an instant, and smashed directly into Jiang Zhongyuan's team.

Everywhere a dozen shells went, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, the Qing army was killed and wounded fifty or sixty people. The screams and cries resounded in Jiang Zhongyuan's array. But this was only the beginning, the Taiping army fired three times in a row with extremely fast speed, and within a few minutes, the Qing army suffered hundreds of casualties.

Wei Ze watched Wei Ze watch the 48 shells of 16 guns shoot out, and he felt extremely regretful in his heart. If you can cast shells yourself, even if you use the most primitive method to shoot ignited iron bombs at the opponent's position, it will be considered a flowering bomb. Even if the Qing army is so stupid and stupid to be bombed here, how can it kill and wound hundreds of Qing soldiers. Then he didn't have to work hard, just this dead and wounded could collapse the Qing army.

After thinking about this beautiful thing, Wei Ze couldn't help but start calculating when the Qing army on the opposite side would collapse. Logically speaking, after the Qing army's casualties reached 1o%, it would basically collapse. If such a way of fighting, after three more rounds of artillery bombardment, the Qing army, which looked at two or three thousand on the opposite side, would almost collapse and flee.

was thinking about it, but he heard Ke Gongyu, the commander of the teaching brigade next to him, sneering, "Everything is knowledge!" ”

This concise remark caused a burst of laughter among the staff personnel around Wei Ze, and the chief of staff, Zhang Yingchen, said with a smile: "When this battle is over, I must study the three laws well." It's really not something to joke about. Fighting such a war saves gunpowder! ”

On the position that the Taiping army had already prepared to measure, there was naturally no need to retest the shooting of Zhuyuan. The artillerymen easily placed the gun positions according to the results derived from the paper work and adjusted the angle of the shelling. Fill gunpowder, load projectiles. Each shell can accurately enter the Qing array. If you want to kill and wound hundreds of Qing troops with muskets, the gunpowder and lead consumed by dozens of cannons are simply not enough.

When Wei Ze's subordinates were talking with emotion and cold words to the Qing army, they heard Lin Fengxiang ask in a trembling voice: "Brother Wei, these gunners are all trained by you?" ”

Lin Fengxiang was really shocked, the artillery of the Qing army fought with the Taiping army, and often dozens of artillery shots could not hit the queue of the Taiping army, let alone kill a few people. The Taiping army lacked gunpowder, and the level of artillery was even more pitiful. Now seeing with his own eyes that the artillerymen accurately used shells to destroy the enemy, Lin Fengxiang felt a real shock.

"Exactly!" Weeser replied proudly. Because the inferiority complex brought about by not being able to use movement warfare to destroy the enemy has flown to the clouds at this time, perhaps Wei Ze's troops did have a huge gap compared with the later Red Army, but when facing the Qing army in a frontal battle, Wei Ze had the confidence to overwhelm the Qing army and win. What's more, Weeser has such strength.

Of course, Wei Ze knew that now looking at this artillery unit with such divine artillery skills, if he casually pulled a separate place to fight, the level of artillery bombardment would immediately be revealed, and it would not be much stronger than the Qing army. However, in this well-prepared position, Weese's artillery was able to display extraordinary combat effectiveness. And such a table xiàn is enough for now!

"The Qing army has charged!" Zhang Yingchen shouted.

There was no need for Zhang Yingchen to shout, Wei Ze also saw the banner of the Qing army waving, and the Qing army, which was originally somewhat orderly, was divided into three teams, left, middle and right, like ducks, and rushed towards Wei Ze's troops.

"Is this demon commander very backbone?" Wei Ze praised, and then Wei Ze said proudly: "Then let's teach him what war is!" Drums, trumpets! ”
