Chapter 394 Firearms are damp
Zhang Xianzhong also went to see the scene, it was really tragic, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, human corpses and horse corpses, and some people were beaten into two sections.
Judging from the scene, it is impossible to determine that this was done by more than a dozen people, and it cannot be ruled out that Zhang Tianlin's Xiaoqi battalion came back to exaggerate the facts. Because of the large number of footprints at the scene, at least nearly 10,000 people passed. These are the footprints of nearly 10,000 troops of Shi Kefa's department and Liu Bin's department, and the bullet casings at the scene have also been cleaned up, and the Tiance Army requires that the bullet casings must be brought back if time permits.
But Zhang Xianzhong and other bandit leaders can be sure that these cavalry battalions died under the firecracker, and the range of this firecracker is very long, and the power is very great! They all cut people in two, and there are many people who have a big hole in their backs, can it be too powerful?
After inspecting the scene, the bandit capital was a little worried, if the firearm of the Tiance Army had such power, his future would be worried.
Of course, the rogues are not frightened, more than 1,000 casualties, not hundreds of thousands of people running away, after all, the official army was defeated!
So everyone still has to move towards Anqing, so who will be the striker? Zhang Tianlin has already suffered a loss, and everyone is embarrassed to let him go again. People are mixed in the rivers and lakes, and righteousness is very important.
In the end, this glorious task fell on Li Wanqing, who shot the sky, and it could only be him. Usually he is also a soy sauce player, but now that he is allowed to play as a striker, he can only be hard-headed, otherwise he will offend everyone and have no good fruit to eat.
As a result, not far from Anqing, he met a company of Feng Yuanshan, so the tragedy happened. Fortunately, he ran fast, Feng Yuanshan didn't have the heart to chase, the surrounding area of Anqing was vast, and his task was to pick up the defeated officers and soldiers and assist in the defense of Anqing.
When Li Wanqing went down, Zhang Xianzhong frowned and said, "What should I do?" Can this Anqing still fight? "What he means is whether he can fight the Heavenly Ce Army.
Wheddon was silent, he was worried that he would take the lead as soon as he spoke. Liu Guoneng didn't speak, thinking about it.
These people do not speak, of course, it means that they are unwilling, and the failure of thousands of people is not worth mentioning to them.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhang Xianzhong had no choice but to ask his military advisor Xu Yixian: "Mr. Xu, what is your opinion?" ”
Xu Yixian couldn't hide, so he had to rub his beard and think: "Marshal, judging from the current situation, the Tiance army should not have many troops. Those who rely on firearms are sharp. The superiority of our army is more than ten times that of the enemy, and there are many hungry soldiers, and the students think that it is time to let these hungry soldiers play a role. ”
Xu Yixian had already said it very clearly, Sun Kewang suddenly realized when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Dad, what Mr. Xu said is right, we have more than 300,000 hungry soldiers, so we don't believe in the Immortal Tiance Army." ”
Li Dingguo said: "Big brother, a lot of people is a burden, not necessarily an advantage. ”
He was cautious about continuing to attack Anqing, but now that his morale was high, it was like a cow, and it was difficult to hold it.
Now eighteen-year-old Li Dingguo has been more and more valued by his father, and Sun Kewang is anxious in his eyes.
Zhang Xianzhong has four righteous sons, and Sun Kewang is the eldest, so he is also eager to show his face now.
"Daddy, now that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, it will definitely be bad for firearms. The firearms of the Tiance Army will be greatly affected, and this is the time of day for me. Moreover, our army has just defeated the officers and soldiers, and the morale is available, which is human. Anqing is now an isolated city, and the surrounding area is in my hands, which is a geographical advantage. The time and place are favorable, all in my hands, why can't I fight! ”
The rainy day mentioned by Sun Kewang made everyone's eyes shine, right! The firearms unit was afraid of the rain, and in the evening it rained even more.
Liu Guoneng was overjoyed and said: "Nephew Sun's words are reasonable, why did we ignore this rainy day." ”
He is only five years older than Sun Kewang, and because he is married to Zhang Xianzhong, he is called Sun Kewang's nephew.
Hui Dengxiang and others also agreed with Sun Kewang's analysis, so Sun Kewang was greatly encouraged and said: "Dad, the child is willing to lead an army tomorrow to meet the army on that day." ”
Zhang Xianzhong listened to everyone's analysis, and finally came to confidence, and said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow I will gather all the hungry soldiers to rush into battle, and after the five battalions of Ge Zuo will be led by Kewang to follow the hungry soldiers with the two old battalions of Breaking into the Sky and Crossing the Sky, and then see the opportunity to meet the enemy and first pull out the nail of Chaling in the north of Anqing City." ”
The 5th Battalion of Gezuo is the elite unit of Zhang Xianzhong's department, and it is also the core force, with a strength of nearly 40,000 troops, including more than 8,000 cavalry. The 5th Battalion of the Left Wing of the Revolution fought thousands of miles, and they were all experienced veterans.
Liu Guoneng's old battalion had 8,000 troops and 3,000 cavalry.
The old battalion of Zhang Tianlin had 5,000 troops, 2,000 cavalry, and nearly 800 cavalry losses.
Zhang Xianzhong handed over the fifth battalion of Gezuo to Sun Kewang, which made him overjoyed, and he bowed his hand to Zhang Xianzhong: "The child must live up to his father's expectations." ”
Zhang Xianzhong sighed, then looked at Hui Dengxiang and said: "Chaotianxing, you will set up an ambush in Guijiachong with the rest of Luo Shuai and the Collapse Sky to guard against the officers and troops in the direction of Anqing, and you must hold on until the army defeats this part of the Tiance army in Chaling." ”
Mixed Sky Star Hui Deng said: "Don't worry, this place will be called to me." ”
The southbound detachment stayed in Chaling, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to attack Anqing, and the Tiance army in Chaling made him feel like a man, so he chose to pull out the nail.
It is easier to hit Chaling than Anqing, it is just a hill here, and there is no tall city wall. The number of troops of the southbound detachment has been clearly understood through Luo Rucai about 8,000 people.
This is a strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, Guijiachong's terrain is narrow, which is conducive to setting up ambushes, and it is the closest route to rescue Chaling. According to the traditional combat thinking, if the officers and troops in the Anqing direction are in a hurry to rescue, the Liukou will take advantage of the geographical advantage here to wait for work, which can cause heavy casualties to the officers and soldiers.
It's just that Zhang Xianzhong didn't know that before the war started, Wang Yue had already regarded him as the losing party.
After Wang Hongwu's unit of the southbound detachment was stationed in Chaling, it immediately dispatched eight armored vehicles to reconnoiter the movements of the Liukou and reported the situation to Wang Yue in a timely manner.
In the early stage, most of the Liukou pursued the defeated soldiers of the Ming army, showing the trend of encircling Anqing, and then because they were blocked by the Fifth Regiment, they lost some men and horses, and the Liukou gradually stayed in the area of Dongtou Mountain and Baizi Mountain, and did not continue to march towards Anqing.
The reconnaissance of the Fifth Regiment also confirmed this situation, and the Liukou basically stayed and camped 20 kilometers away from Anqing City.
Early the next morning, the rogues began to divide their troops, and a large group of rogues poured in the direction of the tea pavilion.
Judging from the picture of the high-altitude drone, the number of people has reached hundreds of thousands, and the black pressure is like ants surging, which is very infiltrating.
The change in the situation of the Liukou is well understood, and the southbound detachment is indeed behind it, which is not conducive to their attack on Anqing.
