Chapter 1131: Carrying on the Past and Forging a New Tomorrow (21)
The burden of relieving hope will never reach it. When the soldiers sent by the Liberation Army arrived, all they saw were corpses and damaged vehicles all over the ground, and the soldiers were horrified to see that all the heavy weapons that had belonged to the entire battalion had disappeared, and they turned over and dismounted, and searched among the corpses all over the ground, hoping to find a single survivor, but found nothing, and everyone present was completely dead. The wounds on their bodies indicate that some of them were mended after death.
The soldiers did not hesitate any longer, turned on their horses, and ran in the direction of Tucheng like the wind, and behind them there was still an enemy army, and this news must be reported to the upper peak at once.
Time went back an hour, and the heavy weapons and food of the entire battalion escorted by the baggage company walked on the road to Tucheng, which was not as smooth as the country, and was not afraid of rain and snow, although they also took the main road to Tucheng, but the uneven and potholed roads strictly restricted their speed.
The transport vehicles of the newly formed First Army have not yet been equipped with rubber tires that have just been developed locally, and they still use ruts made of sturdy miscellaneous wood, but they are only covered with a layer of reinforced iron sheets, which not only have poor shockproof performance, but also cannot be lifted at speed.
"Speed up, the brothers in front are still waiting for us, without long-range weapons, the brothers in front will be suppressed by the enemy, there is no food, how can the brothers fight when they are hungry, work hard!" He Yu, the commander of the baggage company, kept running forward and backward in the ranks, cheering up the soldiers. The entire baggage company was assigned 200 men, of which 50 were sappers and 100 were transporters, who were responsible for paving roads and bridges, transporters were of course responsible for driving cars, and dozens of others were escorts for the baggage company. Although everyone in the entire baggage company was armed, except for the dozens of guards, they were fully armed. The others were only equipped with knives for self-defense, not even armor.
At this time, fifty sappers were in front of the team, wielding the sapper shovels in their hands, trying to fill in some large holes, and flattening some bulges that hindered the progress of the vehicle.
The hurried baggage company did not realize that they had been firmly targeted by an armed force.
Liu An crouched in the middle of the trees, staring at the approaching convoy. The cart of supplies made him salivate, he knew that there were all heavy weapons of the Han army, and there is no doubt that everyone on this continent knew how sophisticated the weapons of the Han army were, if they got this batch of weapons, the power of Liujiazhuang would inevitably be greater, and those big men in Pengcheng would rely more on the Liu family.
What excites him even more is. This group of soldiers escorting the baggage was completely unaware of the danger they were facing, and who would have thought that the brigade in front had just passed. There's already a team that has seized on the time difference and is ambushing here?
Liu An was very disdainful of the commander of the Han army, and they didn't even do the necessary vigilance. It's hard to imagine how they defeated General Qu Wan.
Liu An was a man with regular military training, and he was originally a general under General Bi Xuan in the Pengcheng Chu army, but this time Han and Chu clashed. He was sent back to Liujiazhuang, and he came back with the five hundred soldiers he led, but at this time, they all changed into the clothes of Liujiazhuang.
At this moment, he brought these five hundred people, as for the hundreds of recruited Zhuang Ding in his father's Zhuangzi, Liu An is really a little unsightly, Wu Yong may have it, but it is still a little short of the standard of the army.
"Listen well, this battle is fought, and the lord will reward each of you with ten taels of silver." Liu An turned his head and said to the slightly nervous soldier behind him.
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, these soldiers only have a salary of twenty taels of silver for a year, which cannot be compared with the Han soldiers, ten taels of silver, is their salary for half a year.
Hearing Liu An's reward, the soldiers were obviously excited, they were not worried that Liu An would tell a lie, their commander was born rich, and he has always been famous for spending money boldly, otherwise, when he arrived in this army, he would not have been able to win people's hearts so quickly, and these people would have been around him to death, and even a few thorns in the army were also under Liu An's money offensive, and soon became Liu An's loyal followers.
"Attack those guards first, let go of both ends, as long as those guards are eliminated, the others will not be a problem." Liuan observed the convoy, which consisted of less than a hundred heavily armed escorts and looked unsuspecting.
"The archer prepares, and he is firing his arrows at my command, and when the target is exposed, I will cut off his head." Liu An said in a low voice.
The sound of breathing behind him was significantly lowered, and after looking left and right, Liu An nodded with satisfaction. To his right and left were a group of dead soldiers ready to charge, these people were the good men he had selected from his father's Zhuang Yong, all of them were good hands in the rivers and lakes recruited by his father at his expense, fighting alone, each with a few brushes, and behind them, the archers had already hung their feather arrows on the strings, just waiting for his orders.
Hundreds of carts dragged out a long formation on the avenue, and the sappers in front were even farther away, and they had to clear the way for the carts at the front.
"Shoot the arrows!" Liu An shouted, hundreds of archers squatted up from the grass at once, knelt on one leg, one leg half propped up, the longbow in his hand was opened, and hundreds of feathered arrows flew out of the woods like flying locusts, and the unsuspecting Han army escort was shot down more than a dozen people at once, and the rest were also many people who were hit by arrows, but fortunately, the armor on their bodies was excellent, and it did not affect the battle.
"Kill!" Liu An carried a big knife and flew out of the woods, on both sides of him, dozens of good men of the rivers and lakes followed him closely, and the weapons in the hands of these people were also varied, and behind this group of people, Chu Jun dressed in Zhuang Ding clothes shouted, holding a spear in his hand, and followed closely.
From the first sound of the bowstring, He Yu's head buzzed, at this moment, he was almost stunned, he never thought that on the road that the army had just passed, there were ambush soldiers, almost subconsciously rolled over from the horse, jumped off the horse from the other side, and the war horse was at the moment he got off the horse, a wail, suddenly accelerated and jumped forward a few meters, and then fell to the ground, just now the rain of arrows, there are more than a dozen aimed at He Yu.
He Yu, who had rolled on the ground several times in a row and unloaded his strength, jumped up, and the qi qi in front of him made him tremble, at least half of the dozens of guards protecting the convoy lost their combat effectiveness in the first wave of attacks, and the enemies who pounced out of the woods not far away were at least hundreds.
"Protect the convoy!" Although the enemy is outnumbered, but He Yu has no idea of retreating, first, this is the tradition of the Han army, after encountering the enemy, there is no enemy and no me, there is no enemy and I are invincible, and second, as the company commander of the baggage company, once the whole battalion of baggage grain and grass is lost, the military law can not spare himself.
Seeing the color of the opponent's clothes, He Yu didn't think that he had no chance of winning, even if he added up to all the people at this time, there were only a hundred people who could fight, but the opponent was not the army, just some people of Chu State, probably this is what the regiment commander said before setting off There may be some landlord armed people who will come to make trouble, these people have a common characteristic, that is, they can fight a good fight, but they can't fight against the wind, they don't have the strong psychological endurance of the army, as long as they are killed in the first wave of attacks, There is a great chance that they will collapse.
Glancing at the sapper at the front, he was a little relieved, the engineer platoon commander Ergou did not disappoint him, at the first time of the attack, they had already gathered, turned around and killed back, they didn't even have time to pull out the saber in their waists, just raised the sapper shovel in their hands, and rushed back with a scream.
The sapper shovel is a better thing than the saber steel fire in their waists.
A sturdy guy greeted He Yu, this person's body is much stronger than He Yulai, a typical waist and round shoulders, holding a swarthy stick in his hand, and he slashed down at He Yu with a stick, He Yu did not dodge, he accelerated his speed, and rushed directly to this guy, the saber in his hand was distracted and stabbed, this is He Yu's habit on the battlefield, he used to be a member of the field soldiers, but then he was injured and transferred to the baggage soldiers, on the battlefield, it is often thousands of people and tens of thousands of people crowded together to fight, There's no chance for you to move left and right, and I don't talk about being invincible on the battlefield, that's real.
The opponent was obviously frightened, this stick went down, of course, it can smash He Yu's brain, but as long as He Yu's knife stabbed him, he was also disemboweled, he twisted his waist stiffly, the big stick fell and was crooked for a few points, slammed on the ground, splashed a place of smoke and dust, he twisted his waist, He Yu's knife also fell short, but He Yu was still moving forward, his hand was in his waist, a dagger with cold light appeared in his hand, a backhand pierced, feeling the stagnation of the blade into the body, He Yu immediately let go, Quickened his pace and rushed forward, he didn't care about the fate of the person behind him.
The big man holding the iron rod let out an earth-shattering scream, and he didn't seem to believe that he was hit by the opponent in one move, he shook a few times, and fell to the ground with a bang, this is a Zhuang Ding sect leader in Liujiazhuang, who is brave and brave, but on the battlefield, he is obviously inexperienced, and he was intimidated by He Yu at the beginning, and then he didn't expect He Yu to react so quickly at the moment when the two of them were staggered. This is the most fundamental difference between the killing skills honed on the battlefield and the brave fighting skills of the heroes of the rivers and lakes.
(I just arrived at the new unit, I don't understand anything, I'm so busy that I can only see a little bit of stitching, and it is estimated that it will be able to update normally after a while, and the gunman apologized to the book friends for the irregularity during this time.)
