Chapter 851? Min Rou struck recklessly, and both were defeated

Da Da...

Min Rou's Guiyi army soon left the city.

In accordance with Lu Xun's order, move towards the rear of the enemy.

Then go around to the southwest.

In the process, the troops of the Western Shang Empire easily discovered it.

In order to ensure that the front could break through the defensive line, they sent a division of troops to meet Min Rou.

"Kill..."

Min Rou was not timid.

He led the Guiyi army and bravely crashed headlong.

Min Rou didn't realize what kind of enemies she was facing, and their weapons were more powerful than those in Yangzhou.

Their weapons have a longer range, more accurate shots, and more bullet penetration.

The cavalry was already at a loss in the face of heat, let alone a long-range charge.

Bang bang bang...

At a distance of about a thousand meters, the enemy began to attack.

The continuous strafing caused the battlefield to be covered with bullets.

Min Rou's Guiyi army had only advanced 500 meters before suffering heavy casualties.

But...

You can't go back now.

Once retreating, enemies will stick to them like dogskin plasters.

It's harder to get out then.

"Brothers, kill it!" Min Rou yelled.

"Kill..."

The cavalry galloped and increased in speed.

A distance of five hundred meters.

Although it paid a heavy price, it still rushed through after all.

Puff puff...

Next is the Guiyi Army.

The Guiyi army was good at field combat and close combat, and when fighting the enemy at close range, it had a great advantage, and in only half an hour, it took control of the situation.

This is the domineering and powerful nature of the cavalry.

But...

The Guiyi army narrowed the distance with the enemy army, and also paid a heavy price.

The number of casualties was no less than that of the enemy.

"Brothers, avenge the dead brothers and kill all the enemies!" Min Rou burst out.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Thousands of soldiers responded loudly.

.......

From this moment on, the cavalry of Min Rou and the two brigades of the enemy entered a white-hot battle.

The battle was fierce.

Meantime.

In the north.

Lu Xun learned that Min Rou had fought with the enemy, and he had formed an anxious situation, so he couldn't help but scold: "This reckless man..." ”

"It's okay to only fight and contain on the side, but recklessly attack and fight with the enemy."

"General, what do we do now? Do you need to save Min Rou's Guiyi Army? The one who asked this was Du Zhen, the commander of the First Brigade.

Lu Xun ordered the army to stop.

He thought about it.

"If you go to save Min Rou now, you can save it, but it's not good for the overall situation. In case the enemy broke through the defensive line and rushed to the territory of Yuzhou and Yanzhou, wouldn't it be even more troublesome. ”

"Still don't save him..." Lu Xun said: "Order all regiments to speed up their advance and prepare to repel the enemy advancing westward. ”

"No."

Under the leadership of Lu Xun, the 1st Brigade and the battalions directly under the division, the artillery battalion, and the guard battalion all marched rapidly to the west.

Soon arrive at the fish belly forest.

Brigade commander Du Zhen arranged an ambush.

Lu Xun set up a temporary headquarters on the mountainside to observe the situation in the southwest.

He was very worried about the situation in Min Rou.

"General, the enemy's advance force, is almost there." Not long after, Du Zhen arranged an ambush and came to report.

"How far?"

"Two miles away." Du Zhen pointed to the east.

Lu Xun used a telescope to look at it.

Even though it's night, you can still see sporadic lights.

"Get ready for battle."

"Yes."

Before the war, Lu Xun arranged everything.

Du Zhen only needs to implement it according to the plan.

.......

The troops of the Western Shang Empire are getting closer and closer.

Already in the ambush circle.

Du Zhen personally commanded the artillery battalion and shouted: "Prepare to load... Put! ”

Boom boom...

More than a hundred mortars from the artillery battalion fired at the mountain pass.

Just hit the enemy's forward troops.

More than 300 strikers were smashed into blood foam on the spot.

"Hit!"

The troops stationed in the forest opened fire together.

Immediately following the forward, there were more than 500 advance battalions, which also lost most of them.

"Good!" Lu Xun was in the headquarters on the mountainside, and when he saw the situation on the battlefield, he nodded straightly: "Just one face, the enemy suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and the fight was good." ”

"Tell the troops below that if you win this battle, General Ben will invite them to drink wine and eat meat, and you can do enough!"

"General Xie..."

Several of the heralds beside him smirked.

Boom...

At this moment, the enemy's artillery also pulled up.

They are all large-caliber heavy artillery, and one cannon can smash a deep pit on the ground.

The troops stationed in the forest were beaten back as soon as they tried to attack.

The artillery battalion on the right side of the mountain forest also did not work.

"General, General Huang is here." At this time, Huang Zhong came to the command post.

"General Lu, how is your situation here?" Huang Zhong asked.

"It's fine."

Lu Xun said: "The old general didn't stay in Qian County to protect His Majesty, why did he come here?" ”

"Your Majesty asked me to take a look."

Huang Zhong looked at the bottom of the mountain.

For the war of thermal weapons, although he is not very good at commanding, he has a good vision.

It was clear at a glance that the battle situation was unfavorable to Lu Xun.

"General Lu, it's not okay to fight like this. Your Majesty is still waiting for your good news. Huang Zhong said.

"It's only temporary."

Lu Xun called a few heralds and said to them: "Tell the soldiers in the mountains and forests to abandon their positions and retreat to the mountains." Let Du Zhen transfer the artillery battalion to Xishan to stand by. ”

"No."

As soon as the battle began, Lu Xun abandoned his position.

This style of play is also rare.

Huang Zhong wanted to ask what was going on.

However, he immediately thought that Min Rou disobeyed the military order and fought hotly in the southwest, causing Lu Xun's plan to be completely messed up. If he asks deeply, Lu Xun will definitely put the responsibility on Min Rou.

Huang Zhong said: "We should still adopt a conservative style of play, so that the enemy cannot cross the defensive line." As for how many enemy troops were destroyed, it didn't matter. ”

"The old general said very much."

Lu Xun nodded.

In this situation, the only way to play is to play conservatively.

.........

An hour later.

The situation on the battlefield has changed.

First of all, what Min Rou is there.

He engaged two brigades of the enemy, both of whom paid a heavy price.

To be precise, it's almost over.

But.

The Guiyi army fought bravely and well, and no matter how heavy the casualties were, they would not retreat.

On the other hand, once the casualties of the enemy army increase, they will be somewhat unable to resist.

Some of the soldiers began to retreat.

The other side.

A force of 5,000 men, close to the city of Qiaojun, engaged in a fierce battle with the 2nd Brigade stationed in Qiaojun. It doesn't hurt to have Xu Ding guarding there. But the enemy's offensive was fierce, and the defending troops also paid a great price.

The whole battlefield.

The most fierce fight was still Lu Xun's.

With the strength of one brigade, plus the third brigade stationed in the west, and Huang Zhong's 10,000 infantry troops, Lu Xun was really reluctant to resist the attack of more than 20,000 enemies.

In just that hour, the enemy organized seven or eight group charges.

Thousands of people at a time launched a fierce attack on the mountain pass.

Lu Xun was overwhelmed and almost lost.

Boom boom...

The enemy artillery came again.

Two shells landed outside Lu Xun's command post, and a large amount of sand rolled into the command post.

"General be careful...." The soldiers of the guard battalion hurriedly protected Lu Xun and Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong stared at the bottom of the mountain and said hurriedly: "The situation is very bad. The enemy's offensive was fierce, and the range of the artillery was long. Not at all comparable to our artillery. ”

"General Lu, can you think of a way to suppress the enemy with artillery?"

"Not yet!" Lu Xun said: "The old general also said just now that the enemy's artillery is stronger than ours and shoots farther than us. As soon as our artillery attacks the battlefield, it will be immediately detected by them. ”

"When the time comes, they'll shoot accurately, our artillery battalion..."

"What then?"

Lu Xun said: "We must send a force to kill the enemy's artillery positions before we can use our artillery." ”

"That's a great idea!" Huang Zhong's eyes lit up.

Kill the enemy's artillery, and you can defend and attack. Use the advantages of artillery to turn the tide of defeat.

Huang Zhong said: "I immediately led people to destroy his artillery. ”

"Old general, wait.... Lu Xun grabbed Huang Zhong, sighed, and said, "The enemy's artillery is not easy to destroy. If we have cavalry, we can still give it a try. But the infantry ... There is little hope. ”

"I don't know what's going on with Min Rou..."

Lu Xun paused and said, "Old general, we have to try to contact Min Rou and let him come here to listen to the order." We organized a surprise attack and let his cavalry go to destroy the enemy's artillery positions. ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to contact him."

Huang Zhong left the command post.

..........

The battlefield that Min Rou was on quickly ended the battle.

In the end, it was Min Rou who won.

His Guiyi army, which paid more than 4,000 casualties, won this victory.

The enemy also paid more than four thousand.

But at the most critical moment, they retreated.

Min Rou pursued and killed all the way until she drove the enemy away.

Da Da...

At this time, a rider came from a distance: "General Yu, General Huang has an order, so you can rush to Xishan to listen to the order." ”

"Got it."

Min Rou originally wanted to clean up the battlefield.

There are more than 4,000 rifles, a large number of grenades, mortars, and a brigade can be equipped.

But Huang Zhong's military order, he did not dare to disobey, so he could only rush to the West first.

As for cleaning up the battlefield, we can only talk about it later.

Min Rou's cavalry was fast.

After half a pillar of incense, rushed to the West Mountain.

Rendezvous with the 1st and 3rd Brigades.

Min Rou walked into the command post.

Huang Zhong made a straight face and shouted angrily: "Come on, tie Min Rou!" ”

Several soldiers stepped forward and tied Min Rou up.

"The general and the last general are not guilty. The last general eliminated two brigades of the enemy.... Min Rou said urgently.

"Destroying two brigades of the enemy is considered meritorious? You still want me to give you credit, don't you? Huang Zhongdao.

"The last general will not dare. But... The last will be innocent. Min Judo.

"Not guilty? What was the assignment you were tasked with? I have told you to hold back in the southwest, and if you encounter an enemy, you shall not engage in battle. But what about you? Your recklessness nearly caused the enemy to break out of our lines. Can you afford it? Huang Zhong said angrily: "If you are not punished today, how can you establish military prestige." ”

"Drag Min Rou down, and correct the law before the army!"

"General, general..." Min Rou is not afraid of death. I don't want to die like this. As a general under Xu Ding, he should be shrouded in horse leather, how can he be beheaded.

It's a shame.

In the future, his children will not be able to hold their heads up.

"Wait." Lu Xun stopped the soldiers who were carrying out the order and waved his hand at them.

The soldiers all retreated.

Lu Xun said: "Old general, Your Majesty appointed me as the commander-in-chief, and everything should be decided by me. Although General Min Rou disobeyed the military order, he rose up to meet the battle and annihilated the enemy's two brigades, which was also a meritorious service. I think I can make up for it. ”

"That makes up for it?"

"What is the old general going to do? Do you really want to kill Min Rou? As I just said, I'm the commander-in-chief, everything is up to me, is it feasible? Lu Xun said.

"Okay!"

Huang Zhong snorted and walked away.

Lu Xun stepped forward and untied the rope on Min Rou's body.

While explaining, he said: "General Min, you have indeed caused a big disaster this time. You know how important this battlefield is to us. The cavalry under your command is the core of our battle and the key to victory, how can you be reckless and let them fight the enemy desperately. ”

"Thank you, General, for saving your life."

"Hmm." Lu Xun untied the rope for her and said, "You also saw the situation just now, if I don't speak, you will definitely be beheaded." But that's not the end of the story. Because the old general will definitely inform His Majesty of this matter, and if Your Majesty also thinks that your sin is unforgivable, then I will not be able to save you. ”

"What then?"

"Now there's another way..." Lu Xun pulled Min Rou, walked to the front of the command post, pointed to a forest at the bottom of the mountain, and said, "The enemy's artillery position is there." You go with all your cavalry and be sure to destroy the enemy's artillery. As long as you can do it, you have made a great achievement. When the time comes, you don't need me to intercede for you, Your Majesty will be embarrassed to punish you. ”

"The Admiral understands..."

Min Rou arched his hand and said: "Please generalize the defense line, even if the last general dies, he must complete the task!" ”

Min Rou left after speaking.

It didn't take long.

Huang Zhong walked in and chuckled, "General Lu, I was okay just now, right?" Did Min Rou see it? ”

"The old general's acting skills are superb, how can Min Rou see it." Lu Xun smiled: "This time, Min Rou will definitely fight with her life." I reckon... He's about the same, probably able to accomplish something. ”

"What do you mean by almost, probably?" Huang Zhong emphasized: "It should be able to make contributions!" ”

"Haha... Yes, I will definitely be able to make a contribution. ”

Lu Xun and Huang Zhong lay at the front of the command post and continued to observe the battle situation.

........

Min Rou took the remaining Guiyi army, about 1,300 or so, and rushed to the enemy's artillery position.

He came out of the West Mountain and made a detour to the mountain forest.

As soon as they reached the edge of the mountain forest, they were discovered by the enemy.

Boom boom...

Dozens of artillery pieces, aimed at him.

Min Rou hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, speed up, we must take their position with all our might!" ”

"Kill..."

1,300 rebels, all of them rushed into the distance.

They were more than twice as fast as usual, and their whips were about to break.

The war horse suffered pain and galloped wildly.

Bang bang bang...

It was about 700 meters away from the artillery position.

The enemy no longer uses artillery.

In front of the artillery position, they placed two infantry battalions, which were specifically responsible for protecting the artillery battalion.
