Chapter 680: Great Victory 1

The moment he saw the Great Zhou flag still fluttering on the Yongzhou city wall, Feng Sanhu breathed a long sigh of relief.

In ten days, 1,700 miles, 3,000 musketeers threw away 10,000 horses (one person, three horses, and 1,000 spare, all of which were thrown on the way), and all the cavalry became infantry, and those who fell behind reached 10%, paying such a big price, and finally arrived at the battlefield before Yongzhou City was broken by Jiaozhi thieves.

With an average of 170 miles per day, this marching speed is absolutely a miracle, and Feng Sanhu even thinks that this battle example he created will even be on the textbooks of the imperial military academy, and become a good story sung by poets through the ages.

That's right, he is so confident that as long as the troops arrive on the battlefield in formation, he will definitely win, and the enemy will inevitably lose.

As for the fact that the enemy has 200,000, more than 70 times his own, what is this? It's just a little more effort to kill them all, and it's a trivial matter.

Feng Sanhu commanded 2,700 foot cavalry, lined up in three formations and slowly walked towards the besieging Vietnamese army, and now the musketeers only had a rifle, half a base of ammunition (thirty rounds), two grenades, and bayonets, and even the sabers were thrown away in order to reduce the load.

But it doesn't matter, these weapons are enough to kill all the thieves.

……

Li Changjie was stunned by the sudden appearance of a new enemy.

Because he didn't expect the Chinese army to come back to support the Zhou army, and he didn't understand why the Chinese army came so quickly.

What's worse is that he doesn't know how many people the Chinese army has come.

What's more, the Vietnamese army claimed 200,000, but in fact, of course, there were not so many - the problems of the division of the Great Zhou economic system were the same as many of the Jiaozhi people, including empty salaries.

It's just that the degree of empty pay of the Vietnamese army is a little lighter, and it is claimed that it will send 100,000 troops, but according to the establishment, it is actually 60,000, and the actual number of troops is less than 50,000.

However, there were 100,000 people who came with them.

For these 150,000 soldiers, after more than two months of fierce fighting and attrition of wounded and sick, tens of thousands of soldiers have been lost; Another 50,000 were scattered to various places to occupy and plunder; Almost 20,000 barbarians are leaving the battlefield because of the last defeat; 20,000 Vietnamese soldiers had already broken away from the main force to pursue .......

At this time, there were almost 50,000 enemy soldiers under the city of Yongzhou, not to mention the fatigue of the veterans of the division, and a large part of them were still barbarians.......

It is no wonder that Li Changjie was taken aback, if the Chinese army came too much, the current state of the Vietnamese army would be a big problem.

"Why didn't Kunlun Pass report it?" Zong Tan was also shocked.

Not far north of Yongzhou is Kunlun Pass, which has been occupied by Da Yue, with 3,000 Vietnamese soldiers and 5,000 barbarians garrisoned.

But now there is no news at all, could it be that the Chinese army is too strong, and as soon as it appeared, it directly captured Kunlun Pass, so that the defenders didn't even have a chance to spread the news?

"There must not be many enemies!" Li Changjie was the first to stabilize his mood, and he shouted at a kind of Yue general: "The northern thief must have come from the path next to Kunlun Pass!" ”

Kunlun Pass is located in the mountains, and there are indeed many small roads that are not on the official side, if it is a small army, it is indeed feasible to bypass Kunlun Pass directly.

It's just that Li Changjie has no evidence to prove this, and the Yue generals below are also suspicious of his statement - will there be anyone in this world who ignores the enemy behind him and jumps between the two enemy armies with a small force? Aren't they afraid of being flanked or surrounded by front and back?

Or, if it was really a small force, why did they dare to push themselves in such a posture of crashing headlong into them?

Isn't that emboldened?

Li Changjie said that this is just a small army, I'm afraid that even Zong Tan and even the Auxiliary Lieutenant himself don't believe it very much, right?

When an army has doubts about victory in something from top to bottom, then they cannot win.

In particular, the Vietnamese army is not very strict in military discipline and is filled with a large number of barbarian soldiers.

Unlike the resolute advance of the Chinese army, the speed of the Vietnamese army's turn was much slower, and some generals wandered between the approaching Chinese army and their commanders, as if they wanted to draw more confidence from Li Changjie.

However, Li Changjie's own confidence is a little lacking.

He just kept shouting:

"The thieves must be a small army that bypassed Kunlun Pass!"

Why? No one explained.

On the other hand, at the head of Yongzhou City, the defenders who had held out for 80 days began to cheer, and the sound was so loud that the Vietnamese troops who slowly turned could hear it very clearly.

As a result, the morale of the Vietnamese army became even lower.

……

"Get ready to attack! Fight the thieves together! Su Mian shouted excitedly: "This battle will definitely be able to break the thief in one fell swoop!" ”

The defenders of Yongzhou City were convinced of this.

Su Zizheng replied loudly: "Obey!" ”

This momentum is completely different from when he was preparing to attack just now.

"Be careful, wait for your father to come back and have tea."

What I couldn't say just now is fine.

"Don't worry, my lord!"

Su Zizheng is young after all, and when the situation is reversed, he is not as hypocritical as Su Mian.

……

The enemy had no heavy weapons, no firearms, no strong cavalry, and even bows and arrows were limp on their stomachs, and they were almost useless except for the large number of people.

Therefore, Feng Sanhu simply lined up all the soldiers into a huge but very thin array, just to maximize the firepower of each shot.

In fact, if the Vietnamese army fought thousands of lives and concentrated on attacking, they would be able to enter the white-knuckle battle and have a chance to defeat Feng Sanhu.

However, they hesitated.

Li Changjie still blocked the barbarians before the Vietnamese army, and wanted to use unreliable barbarians to withstand the first wave of the Chinese army's offensive.

This was a fatal mistake, and it turned slowly in the first place, because the movement of the brute soldiers became more and more chaotic, until the Chinese army walked one hundred and twenty steps away from a distance, these green-faced fangs, which looked scary, and only looked scary, still failed to line up the formation—neither the offensive nor the defensive formation could be lined up, in the eyes of Feng Sanhu, who was proficient in battle formations, it was really too nondescript.

"Why would such a fool dare to invade and kill the people of the Celestial Empire?"

Feng Sanhu couldn't figure it out.

Of course, it doesn't matter now.

One hundred steps.

"All stand upright!"

There was a crisp sound, the military boots stepped on the ground, and the three columns of 2,700 people came to a halt in unison, and 2,700 pairs of eyes stared coldly at the thieves a hundred paces away, like looking at a group of dead people.

"First row aim!" Feng Sanhu personally commanded the shooting, holding the revolver in his hand, and together with the nine hundred soldiers of the first row of ten musketeers and cavalry companies, he raised his guns and pointed them firmly at the panicked brute soldiers.

"Shoot!"
