vs 16 To take advantage (Chapter 16)

At the same time that Wu Shengzhao led his army to besiege the two hundred chariots of the Qing army that appeared in the rear, a bloody battle also broke out near Suzhou. It was Wu Shengzhao's right-hand man Xingbang who led the army to fight, and his surname was Li and Wu Shengzhao's other right-hand man Zhao Shizhong was known as Wu Shengzhao's second general. Not to mention the courage in battle, and the loyalty to Wu Shengzhao is even more impeccable.

While he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside the chariot, and it was a scout sent out by Li Xingbang.

"Report to the commander, our unit was ordered to reconnoiter the enemy's defense line in front, according to the reconnaissance, the enemy army has a total of more than 500 combat vehicles, and used our army's baggage vehicles to build a temporary front, it is estimated that the baggage team sent in the early morning did not reach the 'Suzhou defense line'. This is a situation map based on the layout of the enemy forces......"

Looking at the situation map in front of him, Li Xingbang nodded and said, "Okay, you go down and rest." Call me a few detachment leaders. "Although the establishment of the Shengwu Army is modeled after Shenzhou City, they have not completely copied it. For example, in the army led by Li Jubang in front of him, a thousand chariots were divided into ten teams, each with a hundred chariots.

Through the faint light in the car, Li Jubang looked at the simple picture drawn with carbon strips in front of him. Obviously, the Qing army was deeply influenced by their cavalry combat methods, and their battle records were arranged in a typical "crab claw formation", flanked by chariot assault openings, and the front was a defensive line built by more than thirty carts full of earth, which was almost impossible to breach.

Looking at the sketch in front of him, Li Xingbang said coldly: "Hmph, I want to have a good time with you!" ”

Soon, several detachment leaders came to Li Xingbang's car.

"Sir"

Li Xingbang seemed to turn a blind eye to their salute, and his eyes were just staring at the sketch in a daze. He whispered, "Fuck, you have to think of a good way to lure them out!" ”

Hearing Li Xingbang's words, several captains couldn't help but look at each other, this commander's courage is really big, when he came, Hou Ye explained clearly, several people exchanged glances, and the captain of the first team said tentatively: "Sir, Hou Ye said, if we encounter Qing soldiers, we will launch a mobile defense, don't take the initiative to attack......

Li Xingbang pouted and said, "Cut, you know a fart, when I was trained in the Shenzhou Army." The instructor said that although the plan has been formulated, if there is an opportunity to annihilate a large number of enemy troops, he can modify the plan and take the initiative to destroy the enemy. Got it, I thought, I'm afraid that's the case now. ”

After Li Xingbang finished speaking, he looked at the captains under him, and there was a look of uncertainty in his eyes, and he said again: "Brothers, these bastards in front of you have taken away the materials we sent to the front, and they also used our baggage trucks to establish a defensive line here. Brothers, think about it, when Brother Shengtai was there, he was not thin on his brothers! Besides, it seems that the enemy is now waiting for the brigade behind, so we might as well take advantage of the fact that their brigade has not yet arrived, and give him a first strike...... In the future, even if there is anything, I will be responsible for it alone, and you will only carry out the orders. ”

When several captains heard this, a look of resentment shot into their eyes. Although Wu Shengtai is not as prestigious as Wu Shengzhao, he is just a good person. When the elder brother's generals make mistakes, they ask him to intercede on their behalf. The "Suzhou Defense Line" was lost, and Wu Shengtai's death festival has always been a pimple of grievance in the hearts of the generals, and they are only worried that they can't be open-minded because of the military order.

"Sir, needless to say, I'm going to beat these dog-Tartars today!"

Looking at the eyes of several captains, the "heart fire" that he urged out burned red, Li Xingbang was happy, and said: "Okay, just do it, a few of you come around and listen to what I tell you." ”

Fifty chariots of the "Shengwu Army" were lined up on the official road and drove slowly, and the strange thing was that these guys' chariots were all driven in reverse.

The Qing generals guarding the defense line will be proud in their hearts, it is precisely because of the assistance of his hundred chariots from the flank of the "Suzhou Defense Line" that the army can take the defense line so easily, and the soldiers who heard it back said that if it weren't for their "action", they were afraid that they would not be able to attack it now. The casualties are even more mentioned, and now that the army is cleaning up the battlefield, they will continue to advance, and then their sneak attack mission will be over.

"Hey, hey! This time I can make a big contribution, and it seems that the reward is indispensable. ”

Just as he was thinking about what kind of official the general Bolo would give him a reward this time, news came back from his outpost.

"My lord, the enemy chariot is coming!"

"Well, watch with me." He answered with a sound in his mouth and came to the front with his own soldiers.

Sure enough, a large black shadow came in front of him, heading towards his defensive line.

"Come on, launch rockets with me, let's see what they're going to do!"

With his order, a wave of "swish, swish, swish" "Bolo rocket" rushed forward like a meteor, falling far into the ground, and bursting into a ball of fire. This Qing army general is obviously not a fool, the purpose of his rocket launch is not to hit the Ming army chariots, but he wants to see what these chariots are planning to be.

"Huh? What are they going to do? "The distant firelight illuminated the chariot group of the Ming army, and the movement of these chariots was quite strange, all of them were facing backwards, and they looked like they were running away as soon as they hit it.

"Order the troops, be careful, I don't think these Ming army chariots may have any good intentions!"

"Zha" The pro-soldier responded and ran down to give the order.

At the moment when the soldiers ran down to give the order, the Ming army moved.

"Tom, tom, tom......" sounded like a heavy hammer beating a drum, and it reached the ears of the Qing generals through the dark night.

"Enemy artillery ......," the Qing army general shouted, and immediately plunged into the "baggage cart" loaded with dirt in front of him. Sure enough, just as he shouted, a large number of cannonballs fell from the sky with his shout.

The Qing army accompanied the opponent's artillery field, and there were clusters of fire. The soldiers ran and dodged as the shells exploded, and the exploding shrapnel flew in all directions on the Qing army's position, many of them huddled tightly under the chariots. Many more soldiers were not so lucky, and as soon as they raised their bodies, they immediately fell into a vortex of debris from the almost non-stop explosion of shells.

This sneak attack light army of the Qing army, except for the "Bolo rockets" on some chariots that can provide limited support, the only remaining usable is some "Lumi guns", although the range is also nearly 300 meters, but they are almost equivalent to no resistance to the attacking chariots. The Bolo Rocket was somewhat threatening, but the range of the Tiger Squat Cannon was thirty meters away from its maximum range.
