208 bites the hook
On the road leading to Huguan for the eldest son, a Red Turban army was lying in ambush on both sides of the road, which had the strength of an infantry battalion. They were armed with fifteen muskets, and a large number of **bags, ** numbered more than twenty, which was all the belongings of their infantry battalion. Such strength is a military force that cannot be underestimated in the Red Turban Army.
"Damn, what's going on with these officers and soldiers? You don't drink too much on the road, do you? The battalion commander looked at the sky and said. It's past noon. According to the news that passed on, they should have passed here before noon, and then they ambushed each other fiercely, so that their situation could be quickly resolved. But the problem is. So far, they haven't seen each other appear, which makes the battalion commander feel very anxious.
"Battalion commander, battalion commander, why haven't this officer and soldier come yet, won't he not come." A captain came over and asked.
"Damn, what are you in a hurry. Just wait. The battalion commander said with great dissatisfaction. Because he's annoyed too. Follow the order. The best time for them to ambush here is noon, when the officers and soldiers will feel very hungry, and at this time, people's attention and vigilance are the lowest, and they can attack suddenly. And then fight one to win. The Shangdang Military Region is besieging the eldest son, and they can ambush the enemy on the side of Huguan County. In this way, many things can be solved. But the problem is that until now, their affairs have not been resolved, which is greatly unexpected to them.
"Sir. Sir. "That's when the scout returned. They lowered their bodies, and one of them was also equipped with a musket, this kind of thing, only veterans, especially excellent people, would have such weapons and equipment, and to be able to use such equipment, it was a veteran among veterans.
"Sir. Sir. "The scout came to the battalion commander.
"How? Ah, tell me about it. The battalion commander asked. They have all been waiting for a long time. Why hasn't there been any movement, is it that the enemy has shrunk back. If that's the case, they're waiting in vain.
"Sir. The officers and troops of Huguan came out. However, they were ambushed by bandits fifteen miles east of the low point of the ambush, and they were beaten. The casualties were not small, and they retracted. The scout said.
"What?" The battalion commander shouted.
"Sir, it's true, we can't do anything about this matter, it's true, the other party really did it. We didn't have a good way either, and when we came back, the bandits were cleaning the battlefield. I heard that they also suffered heavy casualties. It's almost a one-to-two ratio of combat. The scout reported.
"Damn it, these bandits, aren't they causing trouble for us? What kind of ambush are they fighting, or eat all of them for Lao Tzu, and run back a few, Lao Tzu goes back, and the regiment commander doesn't scold me to death. Fuck it, these are for the bandits, what the fuck. The battalion commander was very angry. Originally, they could have completely annihilated the enemy, but they did not have many troops. There are almost more than 200 officers and soldiers, and logically speaking, a battalion of more than 500 people should be no problem, but now, the bandits have robbed the enemy before them. And their own losses are not small, in the face of such a situation, they are really anxious. This meant that all the battles they were supposed to have were gone.
"Damn, pack up and go back to camp." The battalion commander said helplessly.
"Sir, don't fight?" The captain asked his commander curiously.
"It's a fart, damn it, damn it, I'm going to have to clean them up sooner or later." The battalion commander said helplessly.
Lijiazhuang. A fierce battle began.
"Boom. Rumble. Bang bang. Bang. Rumble. "Gunshots, cannons. Explosions. The battle began to heat up. With some fortifications, the militia carried the muskets issued to them, which had just left the factory, and some of them had not yet been marked with the production number, and some of them could even feel the heat of the iron casting.
"Brethren. Hit. Don't let these bitche-raised Xiyuan new army enter our Lijiazhuang. A militia platoon leader shouted.
"Bang. Bang. Bang. "The gunfire rang out all at once, even if there were double-layer shields to resist, but there were still some bullets that hit some officers and soldiers, many officers and soldiers were hit and fell to the ground, they howled in pain, but there was no way at all, the people who were hit by the bullets basically had no possibility of living, because the people who were close would basically make a big blood hole, or break their legs, because the caliber of the bullet was larger, if they were hit far away, there was basically no possibility of saving. If it was really a brother, the officer would order the other party to be mended. Because this can reduce the pain of the other party, if he can't bear it, he can't do anything about it. Thought there were too many such things. Too much.
When the wounded soldiers were hit, they had to dig out the bullets, and if they couldn't find them, they basically hung up. There are also those who have been pierced by bullets, and the wounds can't be blocked at all, and they don't know that the wounds can be stitched up, which is something that their doctors won't do, so if they are hit by bullets, there is basically no possibility of survival. Scratching the skin can kill them, not to mention such a big opening, so the soldiers of the New Army in Xiyuan can only keep praying that they will not be hit by bullets, after all, such a thing is not a good thing, and the probability of being hit is still too high.
"Platoon commander, no. The shields of the officers and soldiers blocked. We can only use ** packages. One of the militiamen said anxiously.
"If you're in a hurry, listen to me, fight well. This is your target, and every bullet kills an enemy for me. If the number of enemies defeated is not enough, Lao Tzu will settle accounts with you. The platoon commander said.
"Bang. Bang. "There are also archers in the official army. But the combat distance between the two sides is relatively long, they can shoot at a distance of fifty paces, and the archers need to aim accurately, because they need a large number of formations to shoot in order to achieve a certain killing effect, individually, which requires good skill of the archers. In such a situation, the casualties of the archers were much higher than those of the musketeers, plus their combat distance was long, most of them ran a hundred paces away, plus there were not enough people, a team, usually only a few archers, relying on this little craftsman, such a long distance, basically hopeless, they could only carry out projectiles. It is simply impossible to shoot the enemy in such a way. It may be possible, but it depends entirely on the individual courage of the archers, and they can't shoot for a long time, and they have to rest when they fire.
"Poof." An archer had just drawn his bow. He was killed by a stray bullet that flew in. He probably didn't have time to see what the bullet looked like, it happened so often that the archers could only pray to themselves.
The tactical formation of the new army in the West Park can only be dispersed very widely, some veterans will lie on the ground as much as possible, or find shelter, they know that only in this way can they dodge those terrible bullets, the team should not be too dense, because the dense formation is easy to suffer from the focus of artillery.
"Forward, fast, forward." The officer shouted loudly, as if to indicate his presence.
"Platoon commander, platoon commander." On the militia side, a militiaman came to the platoon commander.
"Platoon commander. The new army in the West Garden has arrived. Shall we give them a meal? The militia asked.
"What else to say, the guests are here. Say hello, right? The platoon commander said with a smile.
"Alright." The militia pulled the rope of ** as he spoke.
"Boom." There was a loud explosion, and the officers and soldiers who came to the front were suddenly reimbursed a lot. At this moment, at least more than 30 officers and soldiers were killed, and there were several shattered bones on the spot, and they were buried under and above the **bag, which detonated these **bags at once, and at the same time, they were serior. This is quite powerful.
"Damn, Lao Tzu has never been so rich, since you are here. Lao Tzu has to prepare some for you, so that you can have a good meal. The platoon commander said with a smile.
"Platoon commander, we've never been so rich. In the past, the arsenal gave us **,** bags are very few, and they are very picky, never give more, this time, this fucking generous. Let's have a good time. The militia said.
"Go, ask for more weapons and equipment. You all remember Lao Tzu. We are defending the arsenal, they are doing this for themselves, let's not be polite. The platoon commander said excitedly.
"Platoon commander, just look at it, we can't." They laughed. The platoon commander smiled even better. These are all his soldiers. Peacetime. The militia is the worst in terms of weapons and equipment, because these weapons are very difficult to distribute to them, and the quality of the equipment is very poor and the quantity is not much. This makes them very envious of the regular army, in fact, this is because the troops are expanding too quickly, and the militia is not very well armed. The regular army is not yet there, so naturally the militia is wronged.
But this time it was different, this time it was the militia defending Lijiazhuang, and a large number of regular troops were rushing towards this side. In order to protect their equipment, factories, and arsenals can only open the arsenal and give them casually, there is no way, when the Xiyuan officials and soldiers come to kill, these things can only become the trophies of the other party, since it is for their own factories, they can only do this. They don't care about that anyway. The factory was saved. These things can still be produced, however, there are no such things. Their arsenal is nothing.
Inside the Arsenal warehouse.
"Head, we can't go on like this, some things that just came out, these militiamen took them away unceremoniously. If this continues, what will our arsenal do? The warehouse warehouse clerk said anxiously.
"Look at the fifty muskets that had just been produced. When we leave, we will ask for a few more, and our arsenal will either hatch chicks or chicks, and we will have to give time to eat eggs. The warehouse clerk said anxiously.
"Alright. Come on. This is a special period, and these things are simply not daring to preserve. In case we let the new army of Xiyuan kill us, they will rob our weapons, and this will be given to the enemy. These things, give them, give them. Yang Xiaocai said impatiently.
"Head, this, this. The situation in our factory is not good. The warehouse clerk said. He wanted to fill the entire warehouse. Looking at the piles of arms and weapons, he was happy, but looking at the empty warehouse, he was worried.
"Alright. Don't talk about that. It's a war now, don't you hear the gunshots? Yang Xiaocai said.
"The battle is all around us. They are defending us, relying on these militias, they can protect us, dream, if their weapons were not good, our arsenal would have been lost. It's simply impossible to still produce it now. So, this thing. Let's not talk about it. It seems that we are stingy. But you're right, we'll have to prepare some too, so that every hundred muskets, you. Quietly hid two for me. Lao Tzu wants to be of great use, understand? Yang Xiaocai said.
"Head, you won't use it yourself, will you?" The outbound clerk asked curiously.
"You're stupid. In case the militia can't stand it, we can stand it up to ourselves. Gain some time, you know? Yang Xiaocai said.
"Understood. Head, let's call this preparation, prepare in advance. The warehouse clerk said with a smile. Then I went to get ready. The arsenal had to prepare something for its own back road. Hopefully, these measures will not be needed.
Yuan Shao stood in the trench with a disgraced face and watched the battle in the distance, he didn't have a telescope. There is no way to know what is happening at the front. But he knew that the front line was a very dangerous thing. Listening to those explosions, Yuan Shao couldn't stand it.
"General, our people really can't take it. There's a cannon up against us, and there's no way we're going to get close to each other. A lieutenant said anxiously, he was very anxious, because every breath, there would be a large number of casualties. Those are his men, his brothers. Even if one is injured, it is also a very lossy factory director.
"Hmm. Is there any other way to get closer, and such a method really can't do that. Yuan Shao said. In fact, he was not distressed soldiers. It's for his own sake. If you wipe out the troops, many things will become extremely unfavorable.
"General, we can dig a trench and advance. In this way, we can evade the enemy's guns, and we can reduce casualties. A lieutenant suggested.
"Hmm. So much better. Yuan Shao adopted the advice of his subordinates in time, so that the safety of his soldiers could be guaranteed to the greatest extent. After all, those bullets don't have eyes, and if they are stopped, the casualties will be very large. Yuan Shao still considered for his soldiers.
Xishi Village. Shang Wu and Jia Xu were discussing some specific battle situations.
"We can let the situation of the Xiyuan New Army go, since the Xiyuan New Army dares to attack our Lijiazhuang, they must not have thought about the impact of the new weapons on them. So, we're still not afraid of them at this point, I'm worried. The Yellow Turbans, after all, only the fighting on our side is over. The fighting in the south will be over. Shang Wu said.
"I've thought about that. But it depends on the Yellow Turbans. Jia Xu said.
"Hmm. The Yellow Turbans probably have something wrong. We look at it from the map. They dispatched 30,000 men before, but 30,000 people couldn't prevent the opponent's cavalry attack at all, they were played in regiments, at this time, the Yellow Turban Army should quickly withdraw to the city for defense, of course. Judging from the current degree of progress of the officers and soldiers, they will definitely use first-class weapons, and the use of this kind of weapons will have a very huge impact on us, which is not a good thing for us. Shang Wu said.
"Even if the Yellow Turbans retreat to the county seat, they will find an attack, and the situation is more passive. I hope that the Yellow Turbans will come out and fight a war with them, so that there will be a lot less trouble, and it will be a good thing for us. Shang Wu said.
"At present, there is a great possibility that the Yellow Turban Army will increase its troops, and I think it is very likely that Zhang Bao is going to eat the opponent's cavalry." Jia Xu said.
The officers and soldiers marched forward to their main force, and this part of the army was composed of two parts, one part was the cavalry unit, they had more than 3,000 cavalry, and the other part was infantry, the number was 3,000 people, and the infantry held the defensive position. More than 30,000 Yellow Turban troops attacked for many days, but they couldn't defeat the other side, which was a huge casualty for them. Not only that, but the cavalry was also constantly harassing on the side, giving them a lot of pressure, and they concentrated their forces to attack the enemy, which gave them a lot of pressure, in the face of such a situation, the casualties on both sides were very costly, and in a short time, it was difficult to defeat the enemy in such a situation, which was very heavy for them.
"Well, but I think the Yellow Turbans will definitely come out, because they want revenge, and their mentality is different, so it's decided. They're definitely going to come out and fight. Believe me. I have such a hunch. Shang Wu said.
"Report sir, the latest battle report." A staff officer stepped forward to deliver a report. Shang Wu took it and took a quick look.
"Hehe, I'll just say, it's definitely going to be like this, they're definitely going to do it." Shang Wu said.
"Sixty thousand people came out at once." Jia Xu looked at the battle report and said.
"In this way, the Yellow Turban Army is in trouble." Jia Xu said.
"It doesn't matter. We're going to have to go into the battlefield in secret. Look, it's been a great fight. Shang Wu said. He knew that a big war had finally begun. The Yellow Turban Army finally bites the hook. This means that Huang Fu Song successfully caught the big fish of the Yellow Turban Army, and Huang Fu Song's goal was achieved. Shang Wu was also very helpless, after all, their combat level was so high.
