Chapter 154: The Enemy's Tricks
In this way, it was finally decided that the 4,000 people who were not selected would continue to train while guarding the city in the Hammer. The other three teams, led by Zhao Rui, will march to Wanya Prefecture tomorrow.
The soldiers who stayed in the Lang were not left unattended, Zhao Gong and Arjuna left their deputies to deploy, and now their deputies can also be in charge, allowing them to lead and train can also be regarded as promotions, and at the same time, Zhao Gong and Arjuna can also find other generals in the army who are also capable of commanding.
Now Zhao Rui has a total of more than 14,000 soldiers, and Zhao Rui's storage gun can also happen to be one per person, originally Zhao Rui often struggled with the problem of insufficient firearms, but after two wars, Zhao Rui deeply felt that the most important thing in this era is the number of people.
During the war, the number of people was attrition all the time, and people couldn't fight, so what to do with his guns, and he had to send someone to collect them?
This is obviously unrealistic, Zhao Rui hopes that in the future, three people and one shot can be achieved, which is the least waste of resources, and the capture of hot weapons and the suppression of cold weapons can be used. And all three of them will use guns, and when one person is wounded or killed in battle, then the others can immediately take a gun to fill the position. In this way, firearms can be fully used in the army.
Although the soldiers defending the city were a little frustrated that they were not selected this time, when a well-made musket that they had never seen before was sent to their hands, they were as if they had obtained an incredible treasure, which was extremely rare!
You still have to train hard! Fight for the opportunity to fight, so that you can use the musket! Thinking like this, the four thousand defenders of the city were even more motivated.
The rest of the time is handed over by the veterans to the recruits to use the gun method, and a whole afternoon of intensive training is carried out, so that the recruits can become familiar with the firearms as soon as possible, and at the same time, Zhao Rui also let the recruits use the method of breathing and firing one shot at a time, which can make them more accurate, and also save unnecessary wasted bullets.
Then Zhao Rui asked Zhao Gong, Arjuna and Su Tuo to go to the room for a brief pre-war meeting.
The meeting was relatively simple, because the terrain from Hulang to Wanya Prefecture was relatively flat, unlike the mountains and mountains around Dabao. It is surrounded by few plantation plains other than the Red River Delta.
In this way, there is not too much complexity in tactics, but it is necessary to pay attention to the tunnel tactics of the Jiaozhi soldiers, Zhao Rui went to destroy a lot, but it is not clear whether there are more tunnels, which requires a special team of soldiers to cover.
Unexpectedly, Arjuna took the initiative to take over the task of defense, Zhao Rui couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Don't you like to attack the most, why are you rushing to cover the task now?" ”
"Hmph, it's not interesting to attack, a few ** will make their city broken, or it's interesting to fight those gophers, don't they think they are good at concealment, dare to sneak attack, I just want them to taste it, I can't get used to this kind of fly camp dog practice!"
It turned out that the insidious tactics of the Cochins had provoked Arjuna's revenge.
But that's fine, killing the enemy with anger may be able to achieve greater results, so Zhao Rui is just as she wants.
Everything was settled, and when Zhao Rui woke up the next day, Zhao Gong had already completed all the combat preparations, and was waiting for Zhao Rui to give the order to set off.
Zhao Rui saw that the personnel were all full of energy, carrying rifles on their backs and holding their chests upright, and the baggage carriages behind them were also neatly prepared, and nodded with satisfaction.
"All marches!"
With Zhao Rui's order, an army of 9,000 people marched out of the city and headed towards Wanya Prefecture.
Zhao Gong's team was in front, Su Tuo's recruits were behind, and Arjuna's team surrounded the city in a large circle, protecting everyone, they watched their surroundings vigilantly, and their rifles were ready to shoot at any time.
It's just that no one knows that Zhao Rui's previous ** ambush has beaten the Jiaozhi soldiers without thinking, and now no one dares to go down the tunnel anymore, in case of another **, it will collapse, and the crops on it will be destroyed, and when the time comes, a depression will be formed, and then catch up with the rain, and the good cultivated land will become a swamp, and no one will not feel distressed.
The Jiaozhi soldiers did not dare to go down the tunnel, it does not mean that they did not monitor, it is not wrong to say that their Jiaozhi people are black monkeys, their ability to climb trees is extremely high, and they saw Zhao Rui's team from afar, so they hurried back to the city to report.
Huang Wenliu, the defender of Wanya Prefecture, has been in a very good mood recently, because the city is broken, and the Chen Dynasty attaches great importance to the safety of Wanya Prefecture, not only greatly increasing the military salary, but also transporting more than ten elephants, plus the original elephant soldiers, now the number of elephant soldiers has reached 20, just like a war horse on the grassland, people here feel that the elephant soldiers are the most powerful, with elephant soldiers, that is the invincible existence.
Huang Wenliu hadn't heard that Zhao Rui's army musket was too powerful, so he used military funds to enjoy himself, and he really came up with a brilliant tactic.
"Report to Lord Huang, the Song army is already on the way, and it will attack the city immediately!" A sentry ran out of breath and came to Huang Wenliu's side to report the news.
"What! So fast! ”
Huang Wenliu was leaning on the reclining stool, and there was a servant girl beating his legs below.
"Alright, you're still hammering a fart!"
Huang Wenliu felt that he hadn't enjoyed it for a few days, why did the Song people call him, it was so fast, he wanted to get up, but he was blocked by the maidservant, and kicked her away with an irritable kick at the moment.
The maid fell to the ground and threw her feet to the sky, but she didn't dare to say anything, Lord Huang never regarded her subordinates as people, so she could only run out quickly with tears in her eyes.
"Go, pass the order, and do what you planned!"
"Yes! Lord Huang! ”
What if the musket is powerful, as long as you dare to come, I will let you have no return! With a gloomy smile, Huang Wenliu went out with the sentry to set up.
The unimpeded road made Zhao Rui a little surprised, although there was Arjuna's team to cover, but Zhao Rui still held his rifle uneasily, looking towards the surrounding tree tops and grass, but did not find a single ambush.
What's going on......
There must be a demon when something goes wrong, Zhao Rui can't help but secretly pay attention to it.
The team traveled a long way, and finally arrived in Wanya Prefecture, the city wall was standing in front of him, Zhao Rui took out the binoculars, and was surprised when he looked closely.
"What? Are they going to surrender? ”
Hearing Zhao Rui's words, Aruna and Zhao Gong looked through the binoculars in turn. That's right, the white flags on the city walls are waving, and there is not a single soldier to defend it, and it is right to surrender.
Arjuna said unwillingly: "Why is this so! It's so boring that I surrendered before I could do anything! ”
Zhao Gong said with a smile: "Maybe our muskets are too sharp, it is estimated that they have a nut to escape, so they only dare to disturb, but when the city is officially attacked, they will immediately be cowardly!" No matter who it is, who is not afraid of death! ”
Zhao Gong is right, people in this era, after feeling the power of the musket, those who are alive, even the impact of the mind is often more intense than the physical one, and it is more difficult to accept, this is simply a weapon that spans half the world!
Su Tuo also stepped forward at this time, and after asking for the telescope, he was first shocked by the telescope's ability to peek into the distance, Arjuna and Zhao Gong looked at this "old hat" with some amusement, but forgot that the two of them were as surprised as him at the beginning.
After curiosity, it was solemn, and Su Tuo said solemnly: "Lord Wang, be careful, I think there is fraud in eighty percent!" ”
"Go, what do you know as a recruit!"
Arjuna also thought of the possibility of deception at this time, but she was still unconvinced: "Even if there is fraud, each of us will carry a musket, which is enough for them to die on the spot, what is there to be careful about!" ”
Zhao Rui pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "It's really worth being careful, I feel that the Jiaozhi soldiers in Wanya Prefecture seem to have more ideas, and they also know that digging tunnels to sneak attack, which means that they may have some killer features hidden behind them, but don't earn it, let's act when we see the opportunity!" ”
Zhao Rui made the final conclusion, everyone was convinced, and commanded the team to come to the city of Wanya Prefecture.
Only the city guard Huang Wenliu stood on it, wearing an official uniform, in order to show the sincerity of his surrender and paralyze the other party.
"Dare to ask the prince of the Song Dynasty below?" Huang Wenliu's skin is also dark, but his body is much richer than that of ordinary Jiaozhi people, and it can be seen that he is also greedy for pleasure.
Zhao Rui didn't take such a person in his eyes at all, even if he surrendered, it could only mean that he was afraid of death, and he couldn't figure out any reason to see the future situation.
"I am Zhao Rui, the king of Yongping, since you have surrendered, then open the city gate!"
"Okay, okay, open the door right away!"
Huang Wenliu was originally casually bombed, but he found that the prince of the Song Dynasty was in the team, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, to know which of the officials who are now in a high position will personally lead troops out to fight.
Hehe, looking at this prince's white and pure young appearance, he is about to die, what a pleasure!
Huang Wenliu smiled and waved his arms at the people below.
The others didn't see it, but Zhao Rui's eyesight was amazing, and when they saw his sinister smile, their hearts suddenly cooled.
"Spread out!"
Zhao Rui ordered that the three generals of Zhao Gong were stunned, but looking at his solemn face, they didn't dare to underestimate him, and hurriedly commanded their respective teams, far away.
What exactly is an ambush?
At this time, the sound of creaking casters came from the city gate, and Zhao Rui took the lead, his face was as usual, but all the Dao symbols had been drawn in his hand in order to deal with emergencies.
The city gate opened slowly, there was no sunlight in the corridor, it was extremely dim, but Zhao Rui still vaguely saw patches of gray lines, this is the skin of an elephant, there may be a lot of elephants.
Zhao Rui was extremely shocked, if it was so close, the elephant herd would come to an impact, let alone a musket, even if he held a cannon, he might not have time to fire.
You must know that although the elephant is bloated, its running speed and impact are very fast, and one impact is enough to cause countless injuries to your own army!
"Not good! The whole army retreats! Zhao Rui shouted urgently!
"Haha! It's too late! You Song people all go to die! Huang Wenliu succeeded in his treacherous plan and showed a smug smile on the city wall!
