……

When Wang Guodong's front team was pushing the tiger squat cannon and coaxing ashore, Xia Bomin was lying on a small hill less than two miles offshore, holding a telescope and watching quietly.

In front of him, there was an open river beach, about three miles east along the river beach, and on his right was the hill where the Qing army's Xijiang Fort was located.

There, Wang Xing's men were constantly feintting upwards, and the ping-pong game was lively......

Wang Xing is very familiar with the terrain here, and last night, after being vetoed by Xia Bomin for a number of attack plans, he really had no choice, and he hesitated to say this plan to "lure the snake out of the hole".

This plan was not the best strategy in Wang Xing's opinion, because he knew that the fortress mountain was not only on the bank of the Xijiang River, but also more than three miles away from the Xinxing River.

The key point is that, except for a river beach, all around this fort are small hills, and between the mountains and bags are either high ground or ravines, and there is no road suitable for the brigade to enter and exit calmly.

It's easy to sneak around, but once the situation is critical, it's even harder to get out of the whole team.

If his whole army of more than 3,000 people gathered on the river beach at the foot of the mountain to attack the fort, it would be very dangerous if the attack was blocked.

Once the Qing army in Gaoyao City heard the movement and sent reinforcements, as long as they crossed the river smoothly, they could reach the bottom of the mountain with just one charge.

Therefore, if it weren't for the courage of the two companies brought by Xia Bomin, Wang Xing would never have dared to make such a decision.

Under the attack from the front and back, the best outcome for his people is that the whole army is scattered, goats are captured everywhere, and the worst ending is only the death of the whole army.

Fortunately, he knew that the muskets and artillery under Xia Bomin were very powerful, and with those more than 200 people, even if he couldn't win, he should be able to block the Tartars' charge.

Unexpectedly, after Xia Bomin heard this plan, he was very excited.

This fort is very important, and the distance from the city is just right, as long as the movement is big enough, there is no fear that the Qing army in the city will not come to help, as long as the Qing army is fooled, that river beach is their cemetery.

Attack the enemy and save it, lead the snake out of the hole, and reunite and annihilate it......

What could be better than this?

As long as those miscellaneous elites are exhausted and gathered to do it with him, it will be a result that is hard to find, but it will save a lot of things.

……

At this moment, Xia Bomin quietly waited for the entire Qing army under the mountain, and a sneer faintly flashed at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that there are at least three or four thousand Qing troops in the city, so it will be easy to do, as long as they are eliminated, there should not be many people in the camp south of the city.

The terrain here, from the perspective of a later generation of soldiers, is very suitable for ambushes.

Because, in addition to this river beach, there are small hills more than ten meters high and covered with dense forests, and each mountain is more than enough to ambush a dozen warriors.

The nearest mountain bag to the river bank is only about a hundred meters away, and only one machine gun squad can be placed, and two machine guns can block the retreat of the Qing army, not to mention several carbines and a mortar.

And the dense bushes and bushes on the mountain are just in harmony with the camouflage of the warriors, and with the skills of these warriors, he can completely camouflage the hiding place without any flaws.

……

Xia Bomin's tactical arrangement was very simple, he sent all the companies he brought when he passed through Xinxing County to ambush outside the camp in the south of the city, and once this side started, the attack on that side would also begin.

Considering that the company only had one machine gun squad and only one mortar in total, Xia Bomin also divided one gun from the machine gun platoon borrowed from Duan Zhenghong.

In this way, two battlefields, with two guns on each side, are enough to deal with the batteries of this era.

According to Xia Bomin's plan, Wang Xing only sent 2,000 people to feint the fort, leaving 1,000 people to wave their flags and shout on the river beach behind them.

Seeing the Tartar reinforcements crossing the river, Wang Xing gave an order, and the 1,000 people immediately turned around and lined up, making a move to block the attack.

Wang Xing's 3,000 people are said to be elite, but in fact, nearly one-third of them are newly recruited, but compared with the teams stationed in other places, there are more veterans here.

As a veteran of a hundred battles, Wang Xing naturally understands the principle of mixing the old with the new and bringing the new with the old, and after the expansion of the army, it is impossible to form all the recruits alone.

But now, with a thousand people fighting against the Tartar brigade, Wang Xing did not panic at all, just in time for the recruits to see the world.

Because, for the sake of insurance, Xia Bomin put his guard platoon and reconnaissance platoon, and more than sixty soldiers into the clothes of the Ming army, which had already been mixed in.

The remaining machine gun platoon had three squads, and a few mountain packs with good firing angles were selected, and all of them were ambushed in the dense forest and trees.

……

Wang Guodong sat on horseback and was also looking ahead.

The Ming army in front of the formation, not only only a thousand people, it seems that the weapons in their hands are not good, except for dozens of people with firearms in their hands, the rest of the people have either red tassel guns or machetes in their hands, and there are not even a few decent archers.

Looking further away, behind these people, those who attacked the fort did not retreat, but were still ping up the hill.

After observing it around, Wang Guodong could no longer hold back the evil fire in his heart.

These hateful soldiers called Hanako soldiers, when will they dare to have fewer enemies in the field?

Mom! It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs!

How to say, Lao Tzu is also a dignified Han Eight Banners!

Don't say anything else, just looking at the armor, Lao Tzu's people are several times more majestic than you!

Don't talk about you miscellaneous cards, even if the god-nagging begging army comes, Lao Tzu will tell him to shed his skin today!

Wang Guodong pressed his anger, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a cruel voice:

"Order, there is no need to shell, the whole army is assaulted! Chop these pieces for Lao Tzu! ”

"Obey!"

A herald behind him answered, holding high the command flag and patting away.

After a while, Wang Guodong thought for a while, and said to a general beside him: "You, lead the cavalry to outflank from both wings, intercept their way, and don't let any of them go!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

……

Wang Guodong used cavalry at the beginning, which surprised Wang Xing.

This guy on the other side, as soon as he came up, he was desperate, it seems, he wants to have a wave!

With so many cavalry, if they rush to the front to form an encirclement, it is indeed very dangerous, especially those cavalry, once they start to speed, it is difficult to stop them with only the human shields of the soldiers under them.

At this moment, in the Ming army formation, those recruits who had not been in battle were already frightened, and a few of them couldn't bear to subconsciously retreat a few steps, causing the entire formation to loosen slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Xing hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic! The pikemen are in the front! Shieldman Protection! ”

……

It was said that the whole army was assaulting, but in fact, the Qing army's foot soldiers did not swarm up, and unlike the irritable and rash generals of the main general, their offensive rules were not chaotic at all.

Seeing that the cavalry on both sides had not yet picked up, under the shouts of the various oxen, all the foot soldiers stopped a hundred paces away.

This was followed by the moment of the archer's performance, a long-range strike that had to be experienced before hand-to-hand combat, while waiting for the cavalry to outflank in place.

Compared with the Manchu cavalry, there were not many archers in the Han Eight Banners, but all of them were carefully selected and trained by the Manchu instructors themselves.

The strong bow in their hands was exactly the same recurve bow as the Manchurians, and its range was longer than that of the firecracker, and it could hit a target at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces when fired in a concentrated manner.

This is the obvious advantage of the Qing army over the Ming army, the officers of the Qing army are not stupid, and if they don't use this sharp weapon, wouldn't they be cheap in vain These people on the other side are called Huazi.

Since it's troublesome to fire cannons, let them taste the arrows!
