It doesn't matter if you shoot or not.

Bullets whizzed out.

Boom...

In order for the enemy to feel, there is no adulteration. Hong Ran transferred an artillery company and bombarded the front.

But.

Hong Ran had already told the artillery that when the cannon was fired, the louder the better. But you can't really hit the enemy. The enemy deliberately missed the shot, so that the enemy mistakenly believed that the artillery of the Eastern Advance Corps had extremely poor artillery skills.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a long time.

I guess the hour is almost up.

Hong Ran shouted: "Brothers, kill them all!" ”

"Kill..."

This time, their bullets were all really hit.

The accuracy of the shells is also slowly improving.

It didn't take long.

More than 300 enemies in front of them were consumed.

The remaining dozens of people fled in a hurry.

"Withdraw!"

Hong Ran also returned with his troops.

For this battle.

Jia Xu was not very satisfied.

Because Hong Ran set fire in the last round, he hit too hard.

It is completely inconsistent with the previous attack.

If the enemy is smart, he will definitely see it.

The play just now was in vain.

........

After knocking the enemy back, return to the camp.

Jia Xu said: "Through the battle just now, the enemy may surprise and attack our camp in the middle of the night. Hong Ran, you have to be prepared to defend. ”

"The last general will be ready to defend immediately."

"Wait..." Jia Xu stopped him and said, "The enemy has 20,000 troops and is well-armed, and once we attack us, we need to defend with all our might." ”

"The ambush troops you have arranged must be at the key crossings to slow down their offensive edge. All heavy weapons, to form a fire intersection so that the enemy cannot break through the defensive positions of our troops. ”

"The last will understand."

These were already studied at the military academy.

As the division commander, Hong Ran has very good results.

He also has a lot of experience in arranging defensive positions.

He was commanded to go.

Night.

Jia Xu didn't sleep.

He ran to a lookout at the Chinese army to watch the enemy camp.

I hope that the enemy will send troops to attack the camp. That way he could get a complete victory.

"Sir, you've been standing here for two hours, so let's go back to the camp and rest." Hong Ran finished patrolling the camp and came to the lookout.

"This battle is related to whether we can hold Hebei, and I must see with my own eyes that the enemy army will be destroyed before I can rest assured." Jia Xu looked at the stars in the sky.

My heart was still worried.

From the astrological point of view, the Chinese Empire and the Western Shang Empire are relatively gloomy and difficult to distinguish. It is impossible to judge who will win the war for the time being.

can only do their best and obey the destiny of heaven.

"What time is it?"

"It's been two days." Hong Ran replied.

"If the enemy has not yet come by the fourth watch. You send a regiment of troops to the temptation. and then feign defeat. Lure the enemy over. Do you understand? ”

"The last will understand."

Jia Xu and Hong Ran stood on the lookout and waited for two hours.

Until the fourth watch.

The enemy has not yet moved.

Jia Xu was a little discouraged.

Could it be that in yesterday's battle, the enemy really saw the clues and did not dare to attack rashly?

"Hong Ran."

"Yes."

Jia Xu said: "According to the previous plan, send a regiment of troops to attack the enemy camp. Tell the soldiers not to rush in, but to save time. If you encounter a large force of the enemy, fight and retreat, lure the enemy out, and I will try to annihilate him. ”

"The last will obey."

Hong Ran was also impatient to wait.

I have long wanted to kill the enemy camp.

"Wait..." Jia Xu suddenly found that the lights were lit in the enemy camp. These lights line up and come out of the inside.

Jia Xu was very excited: "It's coming, the enemy is ready to attack." ”

"Hong Ran, prepare your troops. Destroy the enemies of the future! ”

"Yes..."

Hong Ran was also very excited.

Run briskly to command.

Because all the ambushes have already been arranged. As soon as he gives the order, the ambush will attack. Deal a heavy blow to the troops of the Western Shang Empire.

It didn't take long.

The enemy's forward troops reached the outlying positions of Jia Xu's camp.

With a battalion stationed there, exchanged fire.

"Loading... Put! At the edge of the camp, Hong Ran shouted.

Boom boom...

There were two battalions of mountain artillery and one mortar battalion, which bombarded the forward positions.

This bombardment, unlike before.

All have accurate marking, and the hit rate is very high.

Often a salvo can turn the enemy's position in front of it into scorched earth.

"Hit!"

Bang bang bang...

Hong Ran's ambush soldiers outside the camp killed him from both sides.

and the artillery on the front, forming a flanking momentum.

Siege on three sides.

The enemy forces were immediately confused.

Jia Xu sent a cavalry and a force armed with a large number of grenades and light machine guns to detour to the enemy's rear. Prepare to cut off enemy reinforcements.

The troops that will go deep into the ambush circle will be eliminated in the forward positions.

Da Da...

The cavalry was fast.

Under the command of Ma Chao, he went around behind the enemy and rushed into the enemy group. Due to the close distance, the enemy did not have time to react, and this wave of rushing kills was completely zero-distance contact.

The cavalry entered the battlefield and quickly divided the enemy's front and rear soldiers and horses on the spot.

"Hold here, don't let the troops behind rush over..." Ma Chao roared.

"No..."

The soldiers replied in a loud voice.

Since joining the Second Army, Ma Chao's status has become very low.

In the past, he was a man of his word in the army, and anyone who saw him had to give way.

And now...

Even a small brigade commander can't keep him in his eyes.

He could only command the cavalry in the army.

This made Ma Chao breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

He was eager to give the order at once, rush into the enemy's large army, and destroy them all. Who would dare to underestimate him in the future.

But...

Ma Chao is very clear.

The situation is different now. In the past, cavalry was the king on the battlefield, but now rifles and cannons are kings. The cavalry could only rely on speed and play the role of a surprise attack.

Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly.

Bang bang bang...

Ma Chao had just captured this place and split the enemy into two parts. The enemy in the rear was in a hurry, organized the strength of two brigades, and fiercely attacked and killed.

At this time.

A brigade sent by Jia Xu also rushed to Ma Chao's flank. Seeing that the enemy was about to attack Ma Chao, he quickly rushed forward and attacked diagonally.

Intercept all enemies.

"Build a defensive line on the spot and don't let the enemy come back." Sun Hao, commander of the 16th Brigade, shouted.

He went to see Ma Chao and said, "General Ma Chao, we guard the west, and you guard the east." Be sure to hold off the enemy forces. As long as we hold out for half an hour, their troops in front will be annihilated by Hong Ran. ”

"Got it."

Ma Chao's cavalry was not equipped with guns. Completely by salvo.

If you stay where you are, you can't hold it out.

Therefore.

He decided to replace defense with offense.

"Brothers, come with me!" Ma Chao roared.

The cavalry all galloped eastward.

Sun Hao's 16th Brigade guarded the west and blocked the enemy's main force.

And on Jia Xu's side.

There was about one and a half brigades of the enemy, and it was not only attacked by Ma Chao, but also attacked by Hong Ran from both sides. Plus frontal mountain artillery and mortars. It is tantamount to a siege on all sides.

"Good!"

Jia Xu finally saw hope.

As long as this battle is fought.

The enemy lost at least two brigades or more.

........

Time passed quickly.

The enemy's troops to the west were blocked by Sun Hao.

The troops to the east, besieged from all sides, were quickly defeated.

Under Jia Xu's strict order, all enemy troops must be wiped out, and no one will be left.

Even if there are those who surrender before leaving, they are not allowed.

Because in Jia Xu's view, it is impossible for the troops of the Western Shang Empire to be adapted into the Chinese Empire. It's useless to keep them, just kill them all, so as to save trouble later.

"Sir, sir....

Hong Ran annihilated the enemy army, and returned to the camp with a smile: "Sir, we have completely annihilated one and a half brigades in the east of the enemy, and Sun Hao's troops have also blocked the attack of the enemy's main force." ”

"The last general requests, lead all the troops, go to support, and completely defeat the enemy!"

"Hmm."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "You first send an order to Ma Chao and let him go around to the flank and contain the enemy." You lead your troops and quickly go around to the west. If... The enemy did not find you, as he did just now, cutting off his back path. ”

"No."

Such continuous contributions are very high.

He went first to convey Jia Xu's order.

Let Ma Chao strike first.

Then he personally led the troops in the battalion to disturb the enemy's rear route according to Jia Xu's arrangement.

It's hilarious.

The enemy has already been fooled once, and this time he has not learned his lesson.

There was no defensive line in the rear, and it was easily broken through by Ma Chao.

Then Hong Ran went around to their backs and cut off the way of retreat.

In just an hour, the enemy was surrounded again.

Bang bang bang...

The battle is getting fiercer.

Jia Xu left the camp and ran to the enemy's red side to join Hong Ran.

"Sir, why are you here?" Hong Ran exclaimed.

"I'm not at ease." Jia Xu said: "You send a battalion now, and then guard to the west." The enemy then sent troops from the battalion to surprise the rear of our army. You must know that the enemy has 20,000 troops, and now there are only 15,000. They also had almost two brigades, which remained at the big camp. ”

"The Admiral knows."

Hong Ran complied.

As Jia Xu expected.

The enemy, seeing the troops in front, was continuously surrounded.

I can't even withdraw back.

It was decisively decided to send a brigade of troops to attack Hong Ran's rear.

It's a pity...

Jia Xu had already made arrangements.

This brigade marched only two miles away when it was blocked by a battalion under the command of Hong Ran.

Don't underestimate this battalion.

They are in a very critical position.

By taking advantage of the terrain, you can fight back very skillfully.

Although the troops are smaller, they can resist for the time being.

And taking advantage of this time, Hong Ran's troops have begun a full-scale attack.

With Sun Hao and Ma Chao, they attacked on three sides.

Bang bang bang...

The battle lasted more than three hours.

Jia Xu set up a temporary command center in the backbone of the battlefield. Command all the troops and horses to counterattack the enemy army.

"Sir, General Guan is here." There was a soldier outside the account.

"Quickly invite General Guan in."

Guan Yu walked into the tent and arched his hand: "The last general, Guan Yu, is here by order." ”

"General Guan, come and see here." Jia Xu pointed to the map and said, "The enemy is now besieged on three sides. But they were very tenacious, and they had already built a defensive line in their positions. It is expected that it will not be wiped out in a short time. You took the Hebei Field Army and went to this valley to set up an ambush. This is the south side of the enemy. ”

"Only in the south there are no of our troops, and if they can't withstand our attack, they will retreat there. At that time, you let the Hebei Field Army drop a large number of grenades and annihilate them all in the valley. ”

"The last will obey."

Guan Yu glanced at the map, clarified the location of the valley, and went to arm.

........

Another hour passed.

The enemy was weaker than Jia Xu expected.

Maybe they're underestimating the enemy.

The encircled troops did not carry a large number of heavy weapons.

Two whole brigades, with only one mortar battalion.

How can this block Jia Xu's large-scale attack.

It's dawn.

The enemy finally could not bear it anymore and began to retreat in a total defeat.

A brigade attacking the west side of Hongran also retreated to the big camp.

Hong Ran was really relieved.

The funniest thing for Jia Xu is that the direction of the enemy's retreat is all south.

This means that they are about to be ambushed by the Hebei Field Army.

Boom boom...

The enemy retreated to the valley.

Guan Yu gave an order, and tens of thousands of grenades were all thrown down.

In the valley, the smoke of gunpowder fills the air.

The defeated and withdrawn troops suffered heavy blows, with numerous casualties.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Whoosh...

After throwing all the grenades down, Guan Yu organized the archers and desperately released them to the bottom of the valley.

In normal times, it is difficult for the bow and arrow to return to action.

But here, it's even better than guns.

In addition, Guan Yu's Hebei Field Army is extremely good at riding and archery, and his archery skills are superb. Often a single round of fire can kill a large number of enemies.

Puff puff...

There was a sound of arrows crashing into the flesh.

The enemy army suffered heavy losses again, and their numbers were sharply reduced.

They can no longer form combat effectiveness.

All the troops, the formation, are crippled, and there are not even people who command the battle.

Guan Yu didn't want to let go of this good opportunity, so he ordered all the arrows to be fired, and then followed him down the mountain to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

Burst!

Guan Yu rode on a black horse, and the Green Dragon Glaive slashed out, harvesting the enemy continuously.

"Brothers, kill me, and don't let anyone go!" Guan Yu roared angrily.

Although the Hebei Field Army, in the battle of Yecheng, has suffered all casualties. But the rest are elites, and their willpower is by no means comparable to that of ordinary armies.

At such a time, he is even more desperate to kill the enemy.

Soon.

Under Guan Yu's ferocious offensive, the enemy army could no longer resist.

Except for a few who took the initiative to surrender, the rest were all slaughtered.

Guan Yu was overjoyed and shouted, "Brothers, quickly clean up the battlefield." Collect all the enemy's weapons... "In fact, many of the weapons on the battlefield are broken.

But Jia Xu said that damaged weapons should also be put away.

Take back Xuchang and it can be repaired.

........

The sky has completely brightened.

Of the enemy's 20,000 troops, more than 2,000 in addition to the large battalion, the rest were wiped out.

Jia Xu received the good news from Guan Yu, and his heart was excited: "Okay, the enemy has been hit hard by this, and he can no longer attack Hebei." We can finally get a good night's sleep. ”

"Congratulations, sir, for such a great achievement." Hong Ran and Du Zhendao.

Ma Chao, who was standing next to him, also arched his hand.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "What credit do I have." This is the result of your concerted efforts and the soldiers' lives. Ladies and gentlemen, rest assured, when I return to the court, I will personally present to Your Majesty and ask for a reward. ”

"Thank you, sir."

The generals replied.
