- Under the city of Yecheng

Ma Qiang watched Yan Liang set up a large camp, and then began to build various siege equipment, smiled, and put down the binoculars.

"10,000 soldiers and horses, this Yuan Shao really likes to add fuel tactics."

"Camp master, what do you mean by fueling tactics?"

Like Gan Shi, as Ma Qiang's earliest subordinate and brother, Xian Yufu also called Ma Qiang the camp master on weekdays.

Ma Lang, Brother Xiaoma, Camp Owner, Mr., Ming Gong, these different titles represent different qualifications and the distance of the relationship with Ma Qiang, and they can't be messed up or received.

"The tactic of adding oil is the same as refueling the oil lamp, not adding enough at a time, pour a little first, see the situation, and then pour a little more, what is said is that some people obviously have an advantage in strength, but they divide the troops into several teams and send them out in turn, so that the other side forms a local advantage, and finally is broken by the other side, resulting in defeat." Ma Qiang pointed to Yan Liang's military camp and said, "There is a great man in my school who has put forward ten major military principles, one of which is to concentrate absolutely superior forces in every battle, surround the enemy on all sides, and strive to completely annihilate the enemy without slipping through the net. The so-called lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength, that's it. ”

Ma Qiang said that Yuan Shao likes to add fuel tactics is not nonsense, in the battle of Guandu in history, Yuan Shao was in Xun You's division of troops, so that the troops were scattered, and finally Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Xu Huang and other generals composed of the ace army successively overturned Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and when Yuan Shao reacted, morale had already been greatly defeated, and he could only fight Guandu, and finally revealed his flaws, and was determined by Cao Cao's battle.

Now Yuan Shao is the same, on the one hand, he is reluctant to the commanding heights of Fushan Mountain and the thousands of heads on it, and on the other hand, he wants to test the reality of Yecheng and sacrifice Yan Liang.

Maybe in Yuan Shao's opinion, Yan Liang didn't say that he brought 10,000 elite soldiers, even if he brought 10,000 pigs, it was enough for Ma Qiang to catch it for a few days.

But Ma Qiang feels that people are sometimes inferior to pigs.

"Xian Yufu, Huang Xu, do you think that these 10,000 people, how long will it take for you to fight?"

Huang Xu arched his hand and smiled, "If it's a field battle, I will join forces with Commander Xianyu, and it will only take half an hour at most to defeat them!"

It's a little more troublesome, but it won't take more than an hour! ”

Xian Yufu hadn't seen the combat power of the independent division yet, so he frowned and said, "Senior Commander Huang, this Yan Liang is also a fierce general, and the soldiers and horses he leads will not be weak, half an hour, exaggerated, right?" ”

Ma Qiang shook his hand and said, "I believe in the judgment of Senior Commander Huang, since this is the case, the enemy will be broken tonight, let the sergeant eat and rest now... By the way, introduce all the cooking smoke into the water for me, so as not to arouse Yan Liang's vigilance. ”

At this time, a person beside Han Fu stepped forward and said, "General, please think twice, Yuan Shao has a lot of wise and resourceful people, how can he not guard against the robbery of the camp?" ”

Ma Qiang saw this person's eyes, and asked Han Fu, "Han Envoy, who is this?" ”

Han Fu was a little ashamed and said, "This is Zhao Fu, originally engaged in my command, in the past, he refused to speak to me, but unfortunately the words were against the ear, I didn't listen, a few months ago I sent someone to visit him to live in seclusion in Zhongshan, and he went to apologize in person, so he invited Zhao to help me again, and now he is still engaged." ”

Zhao Fu?

Ma Qiang also remembered the name, nodded and praised, "I have heard that Zhao is engaged in loyalty, which is rare, but Zhao is assured, in front of the independent division, his defense is just a joke." ”

When Zhao Fu heard this, he was even more worried, but Ma Qiang had already said so, and he could only retreat, hoping that Ma Qiang was confident rather than proud.

On the fifth watch of the night, the gate of Yecheng was quietly opened, Huang Xu walked in front with an independent division, in the dark night, no one lit a torch, and all actions were carried out by the faint night light.

Only an army like the Northern Army, which has never lacked cod liver oil, can fight such a large-scale night battle, otherwise a group of people can fall to their deaths while walking.

After the independent division was finished, the cavalry of the Eighth Army of Xian Yufu went out of the city, and Ma Qiang took Han Fu and others to sit at the head of the city, waiting for the battle to begin.

Because of the brazier that had not yet burned out, Yan Liang's military camp was like a conspicuous light bulb in the dark night, Huang Xu estimated the time and whispered to the sergeant to enter the attack position.

Thousands of sergeants of the Independent Division were all armed with muskets and grenades on their backs, and after such a long period of accumulation, the Independent Division could already have one musket in their hands.

"Piper! Offensive!! ”

Beep beep !!

As the flute sounded, the musketeers who had already been prepared fired their first bullets in unison, and almost all of these bullets were aimed at those arrow towers and sentry posts, and then they were divided into three columns, step by step, round by round, approaching and shooting at Yan Liang's military camp.

Yan Liang did have precautions to rob the camp, he slept directly in his armor tonight, and he was not panicked at all, he was really a hard-working person, and he didn't live up to it, and a gunshot made him bounce directly.

"What sound? ... Not good! It's Ma Ziyu's firearms soldier who is coming, hurry up and prepare to fight!! ”

By the time Yan Liang walked out of the big tent and rode on his war horse, the independent division had already walked from eighty steps away to twenty steps away, as long as Yan Liangjun dared to walk up to the wall to shoot arrows to counterattack, he would enjoy the treatment of musket activation, and twenty steps had entered the range of grenades.

With the sound of explosions, Yan Liang knew that this camp would not be able to hold it.

I haven't robbed him of Ma Qiang's wife, is it necessary to myself like this on the first night.

As soon as the gate of the fortress was blown open, Xian Yufu, who had been waiting for a long time, blew the horn, and with the whining sound, a group of cavalry launched a charge, and Huang Xu also pulled out his sword and rushed into the camp with an independent division.

Yan Liang was careful enough, a third of the whole army didn't sleep at all tonight, and they organized a counterattack as soon as the battle started, but that's it.

For the cold weapon army, as long as it cannot be killed in the first time to enter the barracks, in the face of the enemy army guarding the wall similar to the city wall, the sneak attack troops can only retreat.

But for the army of thermal weapons, as long as you let me get close to you, I can blow you up!

And those formations of the army have become the best targets for musketeers, not to mention, if you don't get together, our muskets may not be able to hit.

As the cavalry rushed into the military village and disrupted the military formation that had been passively beaten, Yan Liang knew that it was time for him to withdraw.

Otherwise, he will be the first general of the Yuan Army, and he will have his head cut off by someone who doesn't know tonight.

In this battle, the independent division followed the power of firearms and the cooperation of cavalry, and won a great victory.

Huang Xu and Xian Yufu did not pursue, and after Yan Liang fled from the West Gate, they set fire to the camp and collected their troops back to the city.

Han Fu had seen the power of firearms at Jieqiao back then, and he was not surprised that the independent division could successfully attack at night, while Zhao Fu, who was still in the era of crossbowmen, watched the whole battle with his mouth open.
