With the arrival of the Qing army's sneak attack troops, a camp with both offensive and defensive forces was soon established.

In front of the "wall of chariots", in addition to the reserved sortie passages, there are hastily made deer barricades and traps, and the soldiers on the chariots are ready to prepare "chain fire oil bombs" and a few "Bolo rockets" to confront the chariot troops of the "Shengwu Army".

As the Qing army built the fortifications, time slipped by minute by second, and a faint light appeared on the horizon, but the earth at this time became darker and darker.

Soon they ushered in the first battle here, and surprisingly the opponent was not the victorious army that was expected to come to the rescue, so who were they?

A convoy of vehicles came on the official road behind the "Suzhou Defense Line", all of which were composed of four-horse carts, and there were about 30 vehicles in a long line, surrounded by about 300 Ming cavalry guards. They were trucks transporting supplies to the "Suzhou Defense Line", and the gas lamps known as the "little sun" were lit on the trucks, illuminating the road with light.

The cavalry and the riders in the car talked and laughed, they had no intention of preparing for battle, and they were purely going out for sightseeing. This is located not in the "Suzhou defense line" behind the side, there is a defense line in front of the side to protect the side is Taihu Lake, there are patrol ships of the Ming army in the lake, if the Qing army wants to sneak over from the lake, then the lake will not be fought early. At this time, the fundamental reason why they were so careless, of course, they did not have the "always vigilant" military regulations of the Shenzhou Army.

When the "Suzhou Defense Line" was first established, the "Shengwu Army" had already received a report from the "military advisers" sent by the "Shenzhou Army" to assist in arranging defenses that it was necessary to replenish the defense line with troops and ammunition as soon as possible at the beginning of the war.

The report said: "The grain and ammunition stored in the 'Suzhou Defense Line' are not enough to support the needs of resisting a full-scale attack by the Qing army, and a supply base and a cantonment base should be established not far behind the defense line, and a considerable number of troops and elite rearguard troops should be deployed to defend the flanks and rear of the defense line and participate in the first counterattack." In addition, patrols are sent to the rear of the line from time to time...... In this way, the security behind the flank of the defense line can be completely solved, so that the 'Suzhou defense line' can hold on until the arrival of reinforcements from the brigade. ”

It's just that the words of the "military advisers" of the Shenzhou Army were all drunk as wine by the "adults of the military department" of Lu Jianguo! They have long been dissatisfied with these people who don't know how to be polite and have to dictate everything. Although you don't usually dare to mess with them, you can't stay with us forever, you have to go. Therefore, as soon as the "military advisers" of the Shenzhou Army left on the front foot, they immediately planned to change the military department of Lu Jianguo with various excuses.

First of all, the "supply base" was rejected because it would lead to the dispersion of materials, which would make it difficult to manage and provide appropriate protection; Then the "patrol" also vetoed it because of the lack of troops; In the end, "replenishing troops and ammunition at the first time of war" was also rejected because it was necessary to ensure the safety of the "national capital" and could not move a single soldier of the defenders of the national capital before the enemy's movements were unknown.

As for the military department, the ingenious tricks of these bureaucrats who are keen on fighting for power and profit, Wu Shengzhao and Zhang Mingzhen, two people who completely trust the Shenzhou Army General Staff, have no choice but to sigh.

Besides, these "slow-moving" troops, who were ready to "withdraw to the capital and preserve their strength" at any time, were already discovered by the hidden outposts of the Qing army before they approached the defense line of the Qing army. The supply team of the Ming army knew nothing, swaggered and went straight into the ambush circle temporarily arranged by the Qing generals.

Suddenly, the sound of "swishing ......" crossbow arrows piercing came, and the commander of the Ming army who led the team didn't understand anything at all, and was shot dead under the horse at the first time. The more than 300 cavalry of the Ming Army who protected the transport convoy suddenly became confused, and some of them drew their swords bloodily, and they looked around blankly.

The Qing soldiers were very wise to send chariots to quietly move behind enemy lines and block the enemy's rear roads, so that they did not make a sound or meet the battle, but only used the flying crossbow on the chariot to continuously effectively kill those cavalry. And the lights on those transport wagons, which are lit up, provide a better target.

The soldier who was hit by the arrow fell from his horse with a scream, and the wounded horse fell in a pool of blood with a crossbow bolt all over his body, and his hair neighed in pain. The cavalrymen, who usually only pretended to be pretentious, saw this formation, and urged the horses under their crotches to turn around and run backwards.

They leaned down on their horses, and their ears were filled with the sound of the "whirring" of the chariot as it galloped. The war horse, which seemed to know that it was in danger, also pursed its ears, held its head and desperately opened its hooves and galloped backwards. The driver of the carriage also jumped out of the carriage and ran madly after the cavalry, running in the unpredictable darkness behind.

"Stretch...... The sound of crossbow strings flicking like the sound of a piano sounded in strings, and in the darkness, strings of crossbow arrows met the bodies of these running cavalrymen, shooting them off their horses in groups.......

In the time that half a pillar could not be obtained, sixty riders of the Ming army and more than 300 horsemen all fell in a pool of blood. At this time, in the darkness, Qing soldiers with braids around their necks came out. One by one, they carried the knives and guns in their hands, and the "gun-type crossbows" in their hands sent the wounded people underground to the west one by one, forcing those captured to clean up the tactics of war.

The generals of the Qing army, who led the army, came to the car with the lights still on, and looked at the open carriage. There are not only all kinds of shells and crossbow arrows urgently needed by the "Suzhou Defense Line", but also more than 100 "Lu Mitong" and other firearms newly built in Suzhou City.

Looking at these "harvests", the Qing generals who led the army showed a satisfied smile on their faces.

"Pass my general order, send these things down immediately, let the soldiers prepare in the camp, look at this time, I am afraid that the brigade of the Shengwu army will arrive soon."

In this way, the back road of the "Suzhou Defense Line" was completely cut off, and this large convoy from Suzhou City not only sent a large amount of equipment and materials to the sneak attack of the Qing army, but also those large vehicles were also filled with soil by the Qing army, forming an almost impassable city wall.

In this regard, an armored unit of the Qing army, which had been spared because of factional distension within the Ming army, cut off the soldiers on the "Suzhou Defense Line", which was fighting bloodily, from the rear.

Bolo, a Manchu nobleman from the mountains, forests and grasslands, even though he did not understand modern combat theories, out of the true meaning of the surprising art of war, he actually succeeded in striking at and cutting off the material supply line on which the "Suzhou Defense Line" depended, so that the "Suzhou Defense Line" completely lost its supplies and soldiers within a certain period of time.
