Chapter 663: Raiding the Camp
After Han Wantao and Zhou Lei returned, they made a detailed report to Lu Xiangsheng about the negotiations with the Mongols, and also told them how to settle the Mongols. Lu Xiangsheng's impression of the Yulin Army has improved one step further, these remnants of the Song Dynasty not only know how to fight and can fight, but also think about the problems after the war very long-term, Lu Xiangsheng readily agreed.
The night slowly deepened, but Zhao Qi did not go to rest, the entire artillery position was quiet, but all the cannons were loaded with scattered shells, and the two artillery regiments were waiting for it. At the same time, the infantry regiment's thousands of rifled guns also quietly stretched out of the trenches, and as long as there was a slightest wind tonight, tens of thousands of guns and scattered bullets would cover the entire perimeter of the barracks.
Guluge and Hang Gao were also circling in the camp's tent, surrendering or not, neither of them could make up their minds.
"Someone." Gu Luge shouted, "Have the people sent to Liu Zongmin come back?" ”
"Master, I haven't come back yet." Someone outside the tent replied.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Gu Luge became more and more anxious, turned his head to Hang Gao and asked, "Are the people ready?" ”
"Ready." Hang Gao replied, "General, are you really going to rob the camp tonight?" ”
"What else can we do if we don't, this is our last chance." Gu Luge was ruthless, "Now there is only a desperate battle, let Liu Zongmin entangle the Yulin army, and we will retreat to Yulin with the elite." Wang Pu of Yulin has no ability, let's take down Yulin and retreat to Naturalization City. ”
Hang Gao didn't speak again, he felt in his heart that this method was inappropriate, but there was no better way.
Zhao Qi waited until the fourth watch, but there was still no movement. Zhao Qi was a little sleepy, could it be that the Mongols really surrendered like this?
Zhao Qi rubbed his face and called the sergeant major of the artillery regiment: "Pass the order, everyone cheer up, and fire the cannon as soon as there is a situation, don't worry about anything else." ”
Zhao Qi took a few people to the infantry position in front after the order, and the infantry position facing the Mongols was defended by two infantry regiments led by Ye Zhan, and the other infantry regiment was placed in the position of the peasant army in the rear.
"Ye Zhan." Zhao Qi saluted first, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Nope." Ye Zhan replied, "I've been staring at it here, will the Mongols not come?" ”
"Let's hope they don't come." Zhao Qi raised the binoculars and looked ahead for a while, but saw nothing.
"Master Zhao, don't worry so much, I'm staring here." After Ye Zhan finished speaking, he took out two cigarettes, thought about it and put them back, "Forget it, don't smoke it." ”
As soon as Ye Zhan put the cigarette back, he heard a rumbling cannon sound and a shout of killing suddenly sounded behind the barracks.
Zhao Qi and Ye Zhan glanced at each other, didn't the Mongols come, Liu Zongmin came?
Zhou Lei led the infantry regiment to garrison the defensive line behind, and opposite him was a dark peasant army.
"First row, shoot." After Zhou Lei gave the order, he turned back and shouted, "Order the artillery regiment to open fire and shoot shotguns." ”
Patches of guns and shotguns covered the open space in front, and two rows of barbed wire were erected 100 meters from the trenches. Zhou Lei's mood was relatively relaxed, Liu Zongmin only had four artillery pieces, and there were not many cavalry, so they couldn't rush at all.
However, Zhao Qi and Ye Zhan were not easy, and in front of them was a group of scattered Mongolian infantry. Gu Luge and Hang Gao had seen the drills of the Yulin Army when they were in Guihua City, and they used this method to the present, the scattered charge of the infantry.
The night was already dark, and the moonlight tonight was not very good, and the soldiers of the Yulin Army could not see where the enemy was at all. Zhao Qi secretly scolded in his heart: "If there are two machine guns in this TM, no one will want to rush over." ”
Scolding and scolding, the battle still has to be fought. Zhao Qi said to Ye Zhan: "Colonel Ye, the infantry position will be handed over to you, and I will immediately return to the artillery position to command." ”
Ye Zhan grabbed Zhao Qi: "Senior Commander Zhao, didn't you find any problems?" ”
Zhao Qi asked with a confused expression: "What's the problem, I think their charge is very orderly." ”
